Well of Mystery

Just as they were having a good time, there was a sound of footsteps coming upstairs.Le Yaochun, a young migrant worker, first looked inside through the window, and then stuffed a stack of thick paper rolls in.

"Oh. Today's newspaper is here." Jiang Chenglu jumped up to get it, "Thank you for your hard work, shall we have breakfast together?"

"No!" Le Yaochun waved his hands again and again: "The boss is in charge of the work meal, you can slowly enjoy the world of the two of you." Then he ran away.

It's strange, Bai Xiuqi believes that he has never expressed intimacy with Jiang Chenglu in front of others, but why does everyone in the apartment seem to have tacit understanding?

He turned his suspicious gaze to Jiang Chenglu, who immediately lowered his head, playing with the broken poached egg pretending to be distressed.

"..."

Bai Xiuqi told himself not to try to argue with Jiang Chenglu, he swallowed a big mouthful of rice, and suddenly his eyes fell on the folded newspaper that the author had folded.

What appeared in front of him was the entertainment supplement of the city's Evening News. The headline on the front page was the follow-up progress of the jumping incident, a large manuscript jointly signed by six or seven reporters.First of all, after the police worked overtime to solve the problem, the identity of the man who jumped from the Skytree yesterday afternoon has been confirmed. It is Yizhong.com CEO Zhou Yiming himself.

In fact, it was confirmed last night when it was sent for a fragrant peep, right?

When he saw the title, Bai Xiuqi murmured in his heart, but he didn't expect that he really guessed it right.

Both DNA and Xiangyu are just aids. In fact, at the time of the incident, the police found a camera at the scene of the jump on the top of the Skytree, which recorded Zhou Yiming's last words to the world.

In this short video of just a few minutes, Zhou Yiming briefly explained his motive for killing Wang Ti, and verbally told what happened after his death.

A video with the same content was also sent to multiple media in the form of a regular email yesterday morning.But judging from what was disclosed today, it really was a case of love murder.

Bai Xiuqi unfolded the newspaper and read it carefully.

It really deserves to be the leading newspaper entertainment weekly in this city and even this province, regardless of the channels and means of gossip, or the courage to ignore the ban.The full-page content actually revealed in detail the grievances between Zhou Ming and Wang Ti—it turned out that, just like what was disclosed by the special entertainment reporter on TV yesterday, Zhou Ming's motive for killing was because of the actress Su Xue.

Calculated, the traceable communication between Su Xue and Zhou Yiming can be traced back to four years ago.And ironically speaking, the communication between them is still Wang Ti's go-between.

Three years ago, Su Xue became Zhou Yiming's secret underground love object. The relationship between them is very secret, and only a very few close people know about it.

For a long time, in Zhou Yiming's eyes, Su Xue was just an ordinary little star looking for support, no different from all the people who came to him in the past and the future... until he found out that Su Xue was stealing his so-called "Trade secrets".

Of course, Su Xue didn't do this on a whim, and there was another black hand behind her.

"Oh, it turns out that Wang Ti put a long line to catch big fish."

Jiang Chenglu, who didn't know when he came over, also read the content of the report: "It's a beauty trick with ups and downs, but it's a pity that the truth was revealed in the end."

Zhou Yiming learned of Su Xue's "side job" by a very accidental opportunity. At that time, Yizhong.com's entertainment channel was planning to dig out gossip about director Wang Ti's life, but he found that Su Xue and Wang Ti often had double encounters. , too close.

The written gossip report was quickly handed over to the editor-in-chief for review.And the editor-in-chief happened to be a guy with an extremely sensitive sense of smell, and vaguely knew the relationship between his boss and Su Xue, so he notified Zhou Yiliang in advance.

As a result, the news report did not go out, but Su Xue and Wang Ti were followed by Zhou Yiliang.

This is where the businessman is so powerful. After knowing this, Zhou Yiliang didn't show anything, and still maintained a close relationship with these two people, just planning secretly behind the scenes.

He soon realized that Wang Ti was not only coveting the information about the Yizhong.com family, and that the "bait" released was not just Su Xue.From this point of view, Wang Ti is likely to encounter retaliation from many parties, and as long as he does not leak, he does not even know who the retaliation comes from.

With such thoughts in mind, Zhou Yiliang tentatively made the first move.He hired a group of social idlers, took advantage of Su Xue's filming in the film and television city, and raped her in a poor living environment, and took photos as a threat to demand a huge ransom, otherwise he asked her to retire voluntarily.

Of course, Su Xue didn't dare to call the police. She also sent a call for help to several people including Wang Ti and Zhou Yiliang.But it's a pity, except Zhou Yiliang who pretended to give her a small sum of money, other people including Wang Ti even ignored her.

Su Xue, who couldn't pay the money, was forced to retire. Maybe it was just a high-sounding excuse for her to see through the world, but maybe deep down in her heart, she also despaired of these men who had used her and abandoned her like nothing.

At the same time, Su Xue's accident also made Wang Ti vigilant.

This old fox, who was a hundred times more cunning and cunning than Su Xue, quickly focused his suspicious eyes on Zhou Yiliang.He persuaded Su Xue to "come out of the mountain" again, and jointly planned to wait for an opportunity to bring down Zhou Yiliang's career.However, I never expected that Zhou Yiliang was one step faster than them...

"It doesn't make sense, the reporter is joking, right?!"

Jiang Chenglu finished the full text faster than Bai Xiuqi, and shook his head as soon as he finished.

"You said that a rich master like Zhou Yiliang can buy a murderer to destroy a weak woman, so why can't he just offer a reward to hire a killer to come over and do the king's question? Why do you want to do it yourself? It's worth it to make a mess? "

Bai Xiuqi shrugged his shoulders: "I don't know those people, so how do I know if it's reasonable or not. But think about it carefully, everyone was still talking about it yesterday, and today several versions of reports suddenly popped up. They are conclusive, and someone must have instructed them to do so." For example, the public relations team of Yizhong.com tried their best to reduce the negative effects that Yizhong. She called Wang Ti's cell phone, why did Zhou Yiliang let her go?"

In terms of human sophistication, Jiang Chenglu's knowledge base was far inferior to that of Bai Xiuqi, so he had to keep his mouth shut and listen to his opinions.Just at this time, his broken cell phone vibrated again.

It was Tao Chuan who called. I really can't tell that this taciturn man is actually quite caring.The purpose of calling was to tell them that the office that Wei Xiangtu had seen in the voyeur last night had been found.

The office was originally registered under Su Xue's name, and it seemed likely that it was the place where she secretly met with Wang Ti or someone else.

But this is not the point, the real point is what Zhou Yiliang did when he entered this office.

"He put a human head." Tao Chuan said something horrifying in a flat voice: "Su Xue's head."

It seems that media reports on this murder case will continue.

According to the police investigation, it was preliminarily determined that Zhou Yiliang wandered around the building deliberately before jumping off the building. Part of the reason was to delay the police's footsteps, and part of the reason was to hide the head.

Since only one head was found at the scene, the cause of Su Xue's death cannot be determined for the time being.However, the police have already found a breakthrough - the body of a woman found under a certain bridge in the city a few days ago may also belong to Su Xue.

That is to say, Su Xue was killed long before Zhou Yiliang attacked Wang Ti.It is very likely that Zhou Yiliang just killed by mistake at that time, but the big mistake has already been made, and he did not stop doing anything, so he personally made such an earth-shattering drama.

"But it's still not right..." Now it was Bai Xiuqi's turn to disagree: "On the night of the accident, I clearly saw Su Xue calling Wang Ti!"

"All you see is Su Xue's photo on Wang Ti's phone. In fact, the police have investigated Wang Ti's call records, and the person who called that night was someone else who had acted as Su Xue's stand-in."

"..." Bai Xiuqi was speechless. Looking back, what he saw at the time seemed to be a photo in ancient costume.A stuntman or something, most people really can't think of this foot.

He asked again: "Could that head belong to a stuntman? In fact, the real Su Xue didn't die?"

Jiang Chenglu smiled slyly: "The double is a man."

Tao Chuan said that now the police have basically determined the nature of the case. Anyway, the murderer is already dead, and the rest is mainly the issue of compensation; the follow-up will not continue to be disclosed—the implication is that it has nothing to do with you It's okay, just stay where it's cool.

The end of the call with Tao Chuan also symbolically ended Bai Xiuqi's continued pursuit of this case.He sighed, feeling a little empty inside.

Jiang Chenglu touched his cheek tenderly: "Eat quickly, the food is getting cold."

Bai Xiuqi let out an "oh", just about to erect his chopsticks again, when he turned his head and found something in the corner of the newspaper.

It was a photo of himself, accompanied by a manuscript the size of dried tofu.The general idea is that the whereabouts of another well-known person involved in this murder, the young painter Bai Xiuqi, is currently unknown.

This reminded Bai Xiuqi that before he met Jiang Chenglu, he did not live alone on the earth.Friends, classmates, former mentors, and grave relatives from my hometown... There are always some people who will care about it.

Thinking of this, he picked up Jiang Chenglu's mobile phone that was casually placed on the table.

"Lend me your phone for a day."

"What?"

"Didn't mine get flooded? I need to go out and buy a new one. It's useless to you anyway. Lend it to me for a day and return it to you in the evening."

"You still want to run outside?" Jiang Chenglu refused: "You don't want this foot anymore?"

"I still need to contact a few friends and tell them they are safe. Give me a call, and Li Kun will pick me up in a while." Having said that, he added: "If necessary, ask him to bring a wheelchair."

"Don't go." Jiang Chenglu was rarely stubborn: "Or I'll buy it for you."

"I can choose my mobile phone by myself, so don't bother." Bai Xiuqi also insisted: "I still have to meet a few friends, I can't let them all come here?!"

"Then can't you take it easy? Anyway, I haven't contacted for two days." Jiang Chenglu was a little anxious: "Just a few of your cronies, are they worth your precious feet?!

He originally had good intentions, but Bai Xiuqi didn't appreciate it, and instead raised his eyebrows at him.

"Jiang Chenglu, you have your world; but mine is just as exciting."
