In fact, there were some other guests at the B&B. It was strange to see two serious-looking policemen sitting on wicker chairs when they passed the lobby.

However, they are aware of taboos, and most of them tactfully did not stop.

Even those who were curious were all dismissed by the enchanting proprietress on the grounds that the police were handling the case.

The business of this homestay is really good, so even though there were only a small number of people watching the fun, not long after, there were quite a few people standing in the yard, all whispering to the four people sitting opposite each other in the window.

Of course, rumors of Mei Qian being investigated by the police again inevitably appeared on the Internet.The reporters who surrounded Mei Qian before flocked to the gate of the hotel.

Fortunately, the proprietress and the guy are reliable, and no one disturbed the conversation in the room.

The bustle outside, the people inside naturally have no time to pay attention.

Mei Qian glanced at the ID shown on the opposite side, and asked first, "I don't know if the two police officers need my cooperation?"

These were two criminal policemen who claimed to be from the Western Regions, but spoke fluent Xia Guoguan dialect. One of the older policemen glanced at his companions and said, "Mr. Mei, we do have something we need to know from you." He took out a stack of photos from his bag: "Mr. Mei must be very familiar with the affairs of the ancient Western Regions."

"Don't talk nonsense, I don't understand, I don't know anything." Mei Qian immediately retorted angrily.

However, facing the photo handed over, he couldn't help but look at it, and then he understood.

To be honest, these photos are not clear at all, they are screenshots from the video at first glance.

As for which video?Do you still need to ask?

Thinking of this, Mei Qian looked at the two people opposite again, and took the photo after a while.

He originally thought that after the release of the video of himself appearing in the image of a dull oil bottle, the police would immediately come to ask him, but he didn't expect it to take such a long time.

Pretending to look at all the photos, after turning to the last one, he suddenly smiled and raised his head: "I'm sorry, I haven't seen any of the people here, um, especially this one..." He shook the photo in his hand. Under the refraction of the sunlight, the face of the young man in a hoodie turned pure white, making it hard to see clearly.

"How is it possible? According to our inspection, there is no trace of editing in that video, and it is completely real. You all appeared on the video, don't you have any impression?" The middle-aged police officer glanced at his companion again, and asked eagerly : "You don't even know yourself, do you?"

"Who said it was me?" Mei Qian's gaze also fell on the policeman who was taking notes intentionally or unintentionally. When he glanced at the wrist covered by the long sleeve, his eyes lagged slightly, and he explained with a smile on his face : "Don't tell me, if I want to dress like this, I'm really handsome. But hasn't my appearance changed a bit after more than seven years?"

"That's the truth!" The middle-aged man frowned, and asked again: "But if it wasn't for you, how did you write the novel?"

"I dreamed about it one day, maybe I have been there! But I'm sure, I definitely didn't act together with those people in the video." Mei Qian sighed: "Moreover, the content in the novel is actually the same as my dream. It's very different."

"Oh?" When he said this, it really attracted everyone's attention.

"Because of the need for storytelling, I focused on describing the content of the West Queen Mother City in the novel. In fact, in the Devil City, that is, near the sunken ship, there are still a lot of dusty treasures. In the setting, the West Queen Mother Kingdom was very prosperous. In the ancient river, there are many wrecks of gold ships, and the gold, silver and jade objects inside have not seen the sun for thousands of years, and they are all buried in the Devil City." Mei Qian looked around, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously .

Can clearly feel the heavy breathing of the two people opposite, Mei Qian raised the corners of his mouth, and then changed into a regretful tone: "Unfortunately, I don't have time for these two years, otherwise I have to go to the Western Regions to try my luck."

The two police officers looked at each other and asked, "Does Teacher Mei know where the ship sank?"

"I want to know, I left early." Mei Qian suddenly showed a look of impatience...

Seeing the two policemen's cars start to leave, Mei Qian let go of Ning Chi's arm, and the latter frowned puzzledly: "Brother, just let them go like this?"

"It seems that you can do it? You still want to beat the police in front of the media?" Mei Qian pouted, glanced at the people watching, and whispered: "Even if it is a fake, you can't do it here."

"Then, call the police?" Ning Chi also replied in a low voice.

"Don't worry, someone will take care of it." Mei Qian walked upstairs quickly after speaking.

Ning Chi froze for a moment, then followed closely.

When they reached the balcony on the second floor, Mei Qian was looking at the corner of the street with a telescope.

Ning Chi's eyesight is good, and he can vaguely see the traffic jam in the distance.

"It's not worth worrying about someone who is so stupid as to pretend to be a policeman at this time." After saying this, Mei Qian put the binoculars into Ning Chi's hands, and then glanced at an antique wooden building not far away. , before turning back to the room.

Ning Chi raised his binoculars, and saw that the private car driven by the two police officers had been pulled onto the trailer, and the passengers on it had disappeared...

In the afternoon of the same day, the local criminal police from Hangzhou came to the door to learn more about the conversation in the morning.

"So before we came, you knew that those two people were counterfeit?" The criminal police couldn't help asking.

"Yes, I have dealt with your police quite a lot, and I have never seen anyone with pierced ears and tattoos." Mei Qian laughed.

"Why didn't you call the police?" the other party asked.

"I only figured it out after the fact, and you all know that because I have a criminal record, I get nervous whenever I see someone in uniform. At that time, I was only busy answering questions. How could I think so much?" Mei Qian still spoke at a leisurely pace, He sighed at this point, then picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip with a smile.

The two policemen sitting opposite each other looked at each other, you are too nervous...

The whole thing is very simple. Some enthusiastic people reported that someone pretended to be a policeman to cheat. When the local police arrived, they just stopped the counterfeit product who was blocked halfway.

Through understanding, the two of them really only came to talk to Mei Qian, and did not do anything else.

The identities of the two are still under investigation, but they have little relationship with Mei Qian, so they have not received the notice of restriction on leaving.

So after the inquiry was over, he discussed with Ning Chi and decided to leave Hangzhou the next day.

However, that same night, a news suddenly came out from the road in the south.

In the ghost city described in Mei Qian's novel, there are a lot of treasures.

I don't know who investigated and found that Mei Qian also appeared in the Western Regions the year before last, and disappeared for half a month in the middle. The mutual verification made this rumor even more credible.

For a while, all the well-informed people on the road were ready to move.

And this rumor is spreading around at an alarming speed...

Of course, as an upright person, Mei Qian has never had contact with Taoists, so she is completely ignorant of all this.

Right now, he is being troubled by a phone call from Mao Mao, because of this phone call, his plan to eat Cantonese food has been completely interrupted.

"What literary award?"

"Siebel Garlin Fiction Award!" In the receiver, Maomao's voice was a little excited: "It's not very well-known, but it's also your first nomination for an international award."

"But I thought about it, and I didn't expect that the book was nominated..." Although it is good news to be nominated for an award, why is it "Kirin List"?
