You die and die

"Did you ask Ah Cheng?" Yuan Che urged.

Gu Huayu hurriedly contacted Liu Hecheng, but the phone automatically hung up and Liu Hecheng didn't answer.

"Are you too busy to answer the phone?"

While talking, the phone rang, and Liu Hecheng called back, and a very noisy voice was heard on the phone.

"Don't mention it, I didn't find that Li Jiran all morning. I went to his house and said that he asked for leave today. He didn't have any friends. I searched all the places his mother said he might go to, but I couldn't find it. people."

"Won't you go to Ge Xing if you can't find someone? He just needs to tap the keyboard twice." Gu Huayu turned up the speakerphone volume.

"His mobile phone is turned off. Ge Xing can also type it out?"

"Oh, that won't work." Gu Huayu said with a smile.

Yuan Che leaned closer to the microphone: "Did his family say whether he behaved abnormally since yesterday?"

"No. As usual, you lock yourself in the room when you enter the door. If I had his dad, I would have to lock myself up too. Except for swearing, just swearing. Definitely a domestic violence man."

"I see, you stay where you are."

Yuan Che dialed Ge Xing's phone again, and this time it connected after only one ring, but it was Ke Ran who spoke: "I asked, Ugly Shuang did add Li Jiran's WeChat, but they haven't spoken since the addition. No friend removed."

"What if the message was sent but deleted? Try to restore it."

"Recovered, no. But a text message from an unknown number was recovered. The content was 'I have something good for you, go inside at the intersection of KFC and wait for me.'"

"That number..." Yuan Che paused, pointed to Gu Huayu's notepad, then hooked his fingers, Gu Huayu hurriedly handed over his notepad, "I'll tell you a number, check if it's right This." After speaking, he read the virtual phone number marked on the book.

"That's the number." Ke Ran responded immediately, "Is this the number for booking KTV?"

Before Yuan Che could answer, he heard a buzzing on the phone, and Ke Ran said mysteriously: "Yu Guang called me. Should I answer it?"

Yuan Che said angrily: "Yes, why not?"

The phone here was not hung up, but Ke Ran answered the call from Yu Guang and turned on the speakerphone.

"Hello?" Koran asked.

"Comrade Xiao Ke, I'm Yu Guang. I don't know if the police will care about something."

"Mr. Yu, we take care of the affairs of the people. What are you talking about?"

"In this way, one of my book fans said that he always felt that someone was following him. He said that he went to the police station to report to the police yesterday. He might be targeted by the murderer. I think he is psychological. He has been with me all morning. If it is convenient for you, use your professional method to appease him?"

"Is his name Li Jiran?"

"Yes, it's Li Jiran." Yu Guang seemed to say something to Li Jiran, but he couldn't hear clearly, "Then shall I send him to the police station? Or do you come here?"

"Let's go there." Ke Ran replied Yu Guang.

Yuan Che asked Ke Ran to wait for him in the parking lot, hung up the phone, told Gu Huayu to keep in touch at any time, then stretched out his hand to pick up Ke Ran's backpack, and hurried out the door.

Ke Ran waited in the parking lot for quite a while before Yuan Che arrived.

Yuan Che threw the car keys to Ke Ran: "You drive."

Ke Ran caught the key, glanced at his backpack, and sat in the driving seat skillfully.

After a while of silence, Yuan Che told Ke Ran what Liu Lingling had found.

After listening, Ke Ran tapped the steering wheel excitedly: "Sure enough, Yu Guang has a background. Tell me, will the real son of the Yu family..." Ke Ran made gestures of wiping his neck one by one as he spoke.

"We can't draw conclusions yet, just wait for their news. You were there the day Li Jiran came. Do you think what he said that day is true?"

"Are you worried that he gave false information?"

"Not necessarily, maybe what he saw was not a murder scene. It was just something he imagined."

"He now says that he is being followed. Could it be that he has persecution paranoia?"

"Maybe. I'm just wondering why he went to Yu Guang. Does he have no one to rely on except Yu Guang?"

"I can't tell. His dad doesn't seem very talkative."

Yuan Che was noncommittal.

When I came to Yu Guang's studio for the third time, only Yu Guang showed a warm welcome, and the other staff members were all wary.

Li Jiran huddled on the sofa in Yu Guang's office, with his mobile phone on his lap.His complexion was a little dark, and his eyes were dark and blue. He just watched Yuan Che and the others walk in blankly, and sat across from him without saying a word.

"If you don't catch the murderer, he will probably be scared to death." Yu Guang said in a slightly teasing tone.

The assistant came in with hand sanitizer as usual, put several paper cups filled with boiled water, and went out.

Yuan Che got straight to the point: "You said someone was following you? How did you find out?"

Li Jiran shook his head: "I didn't notice it, I just had a feeling, as if someone had been staring at me."

"Since when did you feel this way?"

"Yesterday." Li Jiran glanced at the phone uneasy.Sitting next to him, Yu Guang patted his shoulder lightly to comfort him.

"Where is it? On the way to and from get off work?"

"No, I stayed at home yesterday and bought something to eat and a bottle of soy sauce."

"Yesterday was Wednesday, don't you have to go to work? Work is so easy?" Ke Ran asked standing next to the sofa.

"No, I'm on leave. We are a Lego training institution, and I'll ask someone to substitute for me."

Yuan Che brought the topic back: "Have you noticed any suspicious people around your house?"

"No. Maybe not. I didn't see it."

袁彻问：“和你确认一下。你说你在3号晚上11点45分经过那条街道，看到的灯光和人影。你确定是这个时间吗？没有记错？比如其实是12点45分？”

"No. As I said, I have an alarm clock." Li Jiran shook his phone, unlocked the gesture lock and glanced at the desktop.Ke Ran suddenly sat next to him and leaned his head over, looking at his phone.The table top was pitch black with no pattern to be seen.Such a background makes the program logo on the desktop clear at a glance.

Li Jiran moved his body, glanced at Ke Ran, and took the phone away.

Yuan Che asked again: "Do you have any way to prove that you saw it at that time? Because there is no surveillance nearby."

Li Jiran shook his head: "I have no way to prove it."

Yuan Che turned his head to look at Yu Guang again: "Did Teacher Yu meet someone he knew at the 'Sing Ba' KTV on the night of the 3rd?"

"How do you know..." Yu Guang seemed to think of something, "I see, the crime happened near there, you went to investigate. I didn't meet any acquaintances that day. But I met... an old friend, I met a few years ago Pass."

"Do you know Luo Meijiao?" Yuan Che asked.

Out of the corner of my eye, I asked, "Is her name Luo Meijiao? I forgot her name. I just started writing a few years ago, and it was very difficult. At that time, I didn't want to contact anyone, and I didn't want to see anyone, so I hid in the A remote town. I seem to have seen her a few times in a restaurant. I didn't expect her to remember me."

Ke Ran's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "So, the photo on the Weibo on the Internet is you?"

"What Weibo?" Yu Guang looked confused.

Ke Ran explained: "Ugly Shuang posted a Weibo, which mentioned your situation ten years ago."

"I haven't seen any Weibo." Yu Guang shook his head and said.

Ke Ran asked again: "Don't you have a Weibo account?"

Yu Guang nodded again: "Yes, there is, but I don't log in very much, and I don't look at it very much. It's a display. What's there?"

Ke Ran smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just an old photo of you."

Yu Guang asked: "Old photos? Who took them? It was hard for me to live at that time. Where did the photos come from?"

Ke Ran leaned on the back of the sofa and raised his legs and said casually: "We are still investigating."

Yu Guang's face darkened for a moment: "Why, is the photo still related to the case? Does that mean I was also implicated?"

Yuan Che hurriedly took up the topic: "I'm not sure yet. Since I mentioned it today, I want to know about Teacher Yu's growth history."

Yu Guang spread out his hands and said, "Well, what is there to understand, that is, from being anonymous, slowly honing your pen and pen, and then you have today. Who can be a writer from birth?"

Yuan Che asked: "What did Teacher Yu do before writing?"

Yu Guang crossed his arms and said, "This has nothing to do with the case, right? If it doesn't, I don't want to answer."

Yuan Che remembered what the captain said about being careful, thought it over, and asked in a non-offensive tone: "What if it matters?"

Yu Guang replied. "Then you give me a relevant reason, and I'll consider whether to answer. Are you here today for Li Jiran, or are you here for me?"

"Of course, both." Yuan Che said vaguely.

Yu Guang obviously asked back with displeasure: "Why, do you doubt me?"

Yuan Che glanced at Li Jiran and said, "Isn't it convenient for us to discuss this issue in front of your book fans?"

Yu Guang put his hands down to support his knees, straightened his back and said, "Is there any inconvenience, I have a clear conscience in what I do."

Just as they were talking, Li Jiran's cell phone rang suddenly. Li Jiran was listening to their conversation intently, and jumped up in fright when the ringtone rang, and the phone fell to the ground crisply.

He hurriedly picked up the phone, said "excuse me", and then went to the corner to answer the call.

Yu Guang pointed to Li Jiran and continued: "You solve his problem first. My place has become a place for you to deal with the aftermath. I still have a lot of work to do."

"Mom, don't worry, I'll go back right away." Li Jiran's voice interrupted Yu Guang abruptly.

Several people looked at Li Jiran, who was in a panic: "My dad had an accident. He must have found him."

"Don't worry, tell me clearly, what's wrong?"

"My mother couldn't tell. She said yes, my father was covered in blood. Something must have happened."

Yuan Che comforted: "Don't panic, did your mother call the police?"

"Call the police. The police have gone. My mother is crying." Li Jiran was a little incoherent, his face flushed with excitement.

Yuan Che stood up and said, "Let's go and have a look." Then he looked at Yu Guang, "Let's solve his problem first, and maybe trouble you later."

Yu Guang waved his hand: "Go quickly. I'm right here. But next time you come, you'd better have proof, otherwise I have the right not to answer."

Yuan Che supported Li Jiran whose legs were weak, and Ke Ran carried his bag on his back and walked in front. The three left Huijing Building in a hurry.

In order to appease Li Jiran, Yuan Che sat in the back seat with him.Li Jiran's hands trembled slightly, and his breathing became short of breath.

Many people gathered around Li Jiran's house, all looking up from the awning with their necks up.But apart from the occasional heads popping out, there's nothing to see there.

Yuan Che and the others ran upstairs quickly, when they heard a woman crying, followed the sound to the top floor, and saw Li Jiran's mother sitting on the stairs crying bitterly.

She was muttering about life, how to live and so on.A policewoman is trying to reassure her.

Yuan Che climbed to the top of the building along the ladder pointed by the policewoman.

This is a flat roof, with some ventilation pipes and solar water heaters on the upper floor, it looks a bit messy.

Then they saw Li Jiran's father.

His upper body was supported by a barbed wire net, his legs were bent, as if he was kneeling on the ground, his whole body formed an arc, his hands rested on the barbed wire netting, as if he wanted to prop himself up but couldn't.A pool of dark red blood was about to congeal under his body.

There were four sheets of barbed wire, three against the parapet, one out of the fabric and against the ventilation pipe in the opposite direction.In this way, a stable inverted triangle is formed.

Li Jiran's father's thick neck was poking at the edge of the barbed wire.
