I am a super cop

Chapter 294 The Shadow "He" 【Seeking Monthly Ticket】

"Junior Brother Gu, where do you think Zhao Xiaomin is most likely to go?" Lu Weiwei paused for a while, and said, "If you want to talk about a love letter, this is indeed a love letter, but it just feels too sad."

"Maybe it's to meet netizens." Gu Chen said.

"Seeing netizens?" Bai Xiaolan's eyes widened, and she looked at Gu Chen in disbelief: "You mean my cousin is dating online?"

"To be honest, I can only make a rough guess now. After all, judging from this love letter, your cousin seems to like someone, but that person's attitude towards her is lukewarm, so your cousin began to change. Depressed."

Speaking of this, Gu Chen flipped through a few pages of the notebook, and said: "This is the last essay, but the essays before this, and the essays five months ago, have changed a lot."

"That's right, I've become pessimistic." Officer Wang finally found a chance to intervene, as if relieved of a heavy burden.

Then he took the notebook in Gu Chen's hand, flipped to the previous page, and read it silently:

"Thursday, Yin, I don't know why, I like a passage: [Here is my heart, everything grows miraculously, and then you come here for a walk, and there is no grass here.] Maybe this is my current mood."

"Well, it's exactly the same as the last essay, it's not pessimistic." This sentence is easy to understand, and Lu Weiwei can also understand it.

Bai Xiaolan said: "The 'you' here, could it be cousin's netizen?"

"It's possible." Gu Chen nodded, and continued to urge: "Senior Brother Wang, please go ahead and see if there are any new clues."

"Okay." Police officer Wang was also unambiguous, and immediately went forward to read it again, muttering silently:

"Wednesday, Yin,【Have you tried long-distance relationship? If you tried, are you still together now?】"

"Haha, this is a message from a fan today, I told him no, he is single now, haha."

"Another fan asked me why? I said the distance is too far. When I want to drink hot water, the person who handed me the cup at night is not him. Haha, do you think it is miserable? I feel very awful."

"Tuesday, sunny, oh, I haven't found my ideal partner yet, but thinking about it, it's normal, I haven't been able to become my ideal self yet, have I?"

"Monday, sunny, you are so lucky to be loved."

"Sunday, sunny, the world owes me a debt to you, the world owes it, not you."

……

Officer Wang read more than a dozen articles in one go, all of which were Zhao Xiaomin's recent mood essays.

But Zhao Xiaomin never revealed the "he" in the essay, which made Officer Wang very anxious.

It's like you have eaten a lot of delicious food in a restaurant, but the store has always refused to tell you the price, giving you a sense of mystery.

The more you can eat, the more uncertain you will be, for fear that the store will suddenly bring out a menu with a sky-high price.

Both Lu Weiwei and Bai Xiaolan were silent, their moods were just like this.

Police Officer Wang was not reconciled either, and he started turning forward desperately, turning forward, turning forward again...

But after flipping through the entire notebook, the "he" in Zhao Xiaomin's pen, like a shadow, has never appeared.

"Senior Brother Wang, did you find anything?" Gu Chen was actively looking for new clues in the room while listening to Police Officer Wang's silent recitation.

"No." Officer Wang was a little frustrated, and said dejectedly: "These dates are not consecutive numbers. Some are one week apart, and some are three or four days apart."

"Then when did Zhao Xiaomin start feeling depressed?" Gu Chen asked.

Officer Wang was stunned, and said, "I know when it is, I'll look for it again."

Afterwards, Police Officer Wang continued to look through the notebook until he silently read one of the essays:
"Tuesday, Yu, I found out that people, if you are not careful, you will become the most disgusting and disgusting person you have ever been. This is what I am now, I am so fed up."

Gu Chen took a look and found some dirt on the paper, so he wiped it off with his hands.

"This... is it tears?"

"Tears?" Upon hearing Gu Chen's words, Bai Xiaolan hurriedly turned away.

"There are obvious traces of liquid dripping on the paper." Gu Chen pointed to one of the lines and said: "The handwriting also shows signs of being diffused by liquid, which shows that Zhao Xiaomin shed tears when writing this essay."

"Two months ago?" Lu Weiwei looked at the date and asked Bai Xiaolan beside her, "Could it be that your cousin was depressed two months ago?"

"No way? I felt pretty good for the first two months, and we often eat together, how could it be?" Bai Xiaolan was not very sure, but suddenly said: "Wait a minute, you guys wait a little bit."

Afterwards, Bai Xiaolan took out her mobile phone, opened the WeChat address book, clicked on Zhao Xiaomin's circle of friends, and flipped frantically to the previous two months.

"Look, on the day my cousin wrote this essay, she went to eat hot pot with me, and we both took a lot of beautiful pictures of ourselves. Why didn't I see it that day, is my cousin in a bad mood?"

"Could it be that Zhao Xiaomin wrote the essay at home alone after the two of you separated?" Gu Chen asked.

"No...it's unlikely, right?" Bai Xiaolan was also taken aback for a moment, not knowing how to explain it for a moment, and scrolled back the circle of friends for another day.

"Look, my cousin was fine the next day, and we both went shopping at the mall. I remember that she was very happy that day, and she was not as sad as what was written in the essay."

"That's weird." Gu Chen looked at the notebook, and then looked at the circle of friends in Bai Xiaolan's hand, when Zhao Xiaomin and Bai Xiaolan took funny selfies, but it seemed that Zhao Xiaomin had mood swings.

Lu Weiwei said: "Bai Xiaolan, has your cousin never had a boyfriend?"

"No." Bai Xiaolan shook her head and said, "Cousin has very high vision. Since I saw a photo with Gu Chen in my circle of friends last time, she said that her criteria for choosing a mate should be like Gu Chen's in the photo."

Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei looked at Gu Chen involuntarily.

Gu Chen lay down and was shot, waved his hands and explained: "I don't know her, really, I don't know Zhao Xiaomin at all."

"Hee hee, I'm joking with you, Junior Brother Gu, it makes you nervous. They said that you have to follow your standard when looking for a partner, but they didn't say it was you." Lu Weiwei also complained from the side.

My heart says that women all over the world are the same...

With Gu Chen's handsome face like that of a national husband, which woman wouldn't be tempted?

After seeing Gu Chen, the standard of mate selection will naturally improve a lot.

"That is to say, your cousin may have someone she likes, but she has been hiding it in her heart, and she didn't even reveal it to you?" Police Officer Wang asked Bai Xiaolan based on his own analysis.

This surprised Bai Xiaolan.

If anything, my cousin Zhao Xiaomin has the best relationship with me.

Moreover, strictly speaking, the two talked about almost everything, but Zhao Xiaomin kept silent about this matter.

This seems to be a little unreasonable for the cousins.

What made Bai Xiaolan a little unhappy was mainly because her cousin was dishonest in front of her.

"I don't know, maybe...maybe my cousin has some difficulties in her heart and didn't tell me, right? Since the past month, the dynamics of my cousin's circle of friends have become more and more extreme and pessimistic. I gradually realized that maybe There is something wrong with my cousin, but I just don't know what is going on in her mind."

After thinking about it, Bai Xiaolan took a deep breath and adjusted her nervousness.

"It's okay, it's not your fault." Lu Weiwei patted Bai Xiaolan on the shoulder and comforted, "Maybe your cousin doesn't want to disclose this person to you, or it's not convenient for this person to disclose to you."

"Eh? Senior Sister Lu, you reminded me." Gu Chen was overjoyed suddenly, and said, "It is indeed possible. The man Zhao Xiaomin knows is in a long-distance relationship, and it is not convenient for her to disclose it."

"But judging from the essays in the last few days, it seems that Zhao Xiaomin cares about this man very much, and even likes him more than the man likes himself. But the man is relatively cold to her, which may also be the cause of Zhao Xiaomin's depression."

"It's terrible." Officer Wang shook his head and said, "Is this young man's mind really that complicated? If you like it, if it suits you, then stay together. If it doesn't suit you, don't delay each other. Why are you still depressed?"

"Old Wang, what are you talking about?" Lu Weiwei expressed dissatisfaction: "You haven't experienced what others have experienced, so don't make random comments."

"It doesn't matter." Bai Xiaolan shook her head and said involuntarily, "I don't care about these, as long as I can find my cousin, any assumptions are fine."

She looked at Gu Chen who was thinking, and asked, "Gu Chen, can these clues find my cousin?"

"To be honest..." Gu Chen hesitated for a moment, and said, "No."

Bai Xiaolan suddenly felt aggrieved, and she almost burst into tears: "So, my cousin really can't come back?"

"But it's not impossible." Seeing that Bai Xiaolan lost control of her emotions, Gu Chen quickly comforted him: "At least we now know that your cousin Zhao Xiaomin must know a long-distance boyfriend, and she likes this long-distance boyfriend obviously more than this Long-distance boyfriends like her more."

"Think about it, your cousin is an Internet celebrity, and she has hundreds of thousands of fans. This kind of condition, logically speaking, is supported by fans and has a high attitude. She can humble herself like this for a man she likes, which shows that This man is also very good."

"Junior Brother Gu is right." Listening to Gu Chen's analysis, Lu Weiwei followed suit: "And what Junior Brother Gu said just now, she didn't bring cosmetics and mobile phone chargers, which means that your cousin is not traveling far away, but In Jiangnan City."

Gu Chen nodded understandingly: "Zhao Xiaomin's mobile phone is turned off, maybe it's just out of battery, and her long-distance netizen has probably come to Jiangnan City, she went to see him in a hurry this time, maybe the problem lies in this .”

"Gu Chen, what do you mean... there might be something wrong with this long-distance netizen?" Officer Wang asked.

"That's right, and this netizen who is in a long-distance relationship is the most suspected." Gu Chen also began to piece together the information based on the various fragmented clues before.

"Are you still investigating?"

While everyone was thinking, the old lady staggered upstairs and urged at the door: "Let's have lunch first."

"Okay, grandma." Bai Xiaolan nodded and urged everyone: "Eat first, we'll talk after we finish."

Not long after, everyone was already sitting around the dining table.

Although the small villa has a large space, only the elderly and an old dog live in it, so it is a bit empty.

The arrival of Gu Chen and others gave the villa a lively atmosphere.

"It's been a long time since so many people came here." The old lady had a kind face while eating, "Except for holidays, there are only a few neighbors in this place, and Ah Huang is with me. In the past, if someone came, my old lady would definitely It's impossible to be happy."

"Grandma, I will come here to accompany you more in the future, or you can go back to the city with me and stay at my house." Bai Xiaolan said.

The old lady waved her hand: "No, I've lived in this place all my life, and I'm not in good health now, so I'll just lay down here in the future, and I don't want to go to other places to add trouble."

After saying this, the old lady took another piece of meat and put it in Bai Xiaolan's bowl, saying: "Eat more, you will lose weight."

After Gu Chen finished eating, he put the bowls and chopsticks back in the kitchen, and then came to the living room and said, "Old lady, we are going to leave here later to find Zhao Xiaomin's whereabouts, but can I ask you a few questions first?"

The old lady nodded: "Ask."

"Okay." Gu Chen moved a small stool, turned on the law enforcement recorder, took out the notebook and asked, "Has Zhao Xiaomin's mood fluctuated significantly these days?"

Seeing that the old lady didn't understand much, Gu Chen said in a common way: "It's just that sometimes I suddenly feel sad, and sometimes I seem to be fine."

"This...it really is." After thinking about it for a few seconds, the old lady finally said: "A few days before she disappeared, when I passed by her room at night, I heard her crying."

"Crying?" Lu Weiwei was stunned for a moment, then quickly asked: "Then do you know why she is crying?"

"Ah... I asked this too, but every time she said that the TV series was too touching and it was uncomfortable to watch, but the strange thing is, I didn't find that she was watching TV, but she didn't want to say it, so I didn't Ask more."

"My grandma never likes to meddle in other people's business." Bai Xiaolan hurriedly explained to several people.

"Are there any other abnormalities?" Gu Chen asked again.

"Well..." The old lady hesitated for a few seconds, then shook her head and said, "I don't seem to notice, this child likes to be at ease, no one knows what's going on in her mind."

"Thank you." After making a record, Gu Chen put the notebook into his carrying bag.

After lunch, a few people quickly helped the old man clean the rice bowl, and then prepared to leave.

The old lady stood on the opposite side of the country road and looked at everyone.

Ah Huang looked back at the old lady while seeing everyone off. The limping appearance also indicated that Ah Huang, a 14-year-old dog, was about to enter his twilight years.

This dog has accompanied Bai Xiaolan through a special period of time, but I don't know how long it will be with your old lady.

Ah Huang walked more and more slowly, and could no longer run to send off Bai Xiaolan like before.

Bai Xiaolan suddenly felt distressed, and said to Gu Chen, "It's really sad to see Ah Huang getting old day by day. Although he is a Chinese pastoral dog, he has been very sensible and loyal since he was a child. He is the only companion for grandma."

"A dog's life is actually very short." Gu Chen didn't know what to say, so he answered casually.

Lu Weiwei also said: "I also had such a dog back then, and then I didn't dare to keep dogs anymore. People who keep dogs are most afraid of the final parting."

"It might not be there when you come back next time." Officer Wang lit a cigarette for himself, and said leisurely, "When I was young, my grandfather had an old dog named Laifu."

"One time I went to my grandpa's house during the summer vacation. Grandpa said it hadn't come home for a few days, thinking it had 'gone' quietly. When I was young, when I went back to the city, it galloped to see us off, but it still left. .”

"Keeping a dog for three days, remembering a dog for three years." Gu Chen looked at the sad faces of several people and said, "It's a good thing my family didn't allow pets before."

"I feel sorry for my grandma." Bai Xiaolan looked at her grandma at the entrance of Zhulin Village opposite, and said involuntarily, "Grandma also wants to get out of this path and go to the outside world, but she doesn't seem to want to disturb us, let alone her hometown."

"I was accompanied by my cousin before, but now my cousin is also missing. Although grandma doesn't respond on the surface, I know that grandma is very sad. So, you must help me find my cousin. I, Bai Xiaolan, thank you."

"It's serious." Lu Weiwei hugged Bai Xiaolan, waved her arms with her, and said goodbye to the old man and the dog.

"Ah Huang, go back quickly." Bai Xiaolan said.

……

The police car sped along the road it came from.

This time it was Police Officer Wang who was driving, and Gu Chen sat in the co-pilot, holding Zhao Xiaomi's notebook sealed with a forensic bag, and couldn't help thinking.

Lu Weiwei and Bai Xiaolan sat in the back row, and they hugged each other. Bai Xiaolan rested her head on Lu Weiwei's shoulder, silently in a daze.

"Xiaolan." Gu Chen suddenly turned his head and asked, "Can you lend me your mobile phone?"

Bai Xiaolan was taken aback when her name was called, and then she sat up and said, "Of course, but what do you need a mobile phone for?"

"I want to combine the contents of the notebook, and take a look at your cousin's circle of friends, and lock some key locations."

In fact, Gu Chen had already imprinted all of Zhao Xiaomin's records in the notebook when Police Officer Wang read and flipped through them silently.

And the picture of Moments given by Bai Xiaolan just now made Gu Chen realize that Zhao Xiaomin actually has two faces.

In front of family and friends, she is optimistic and cheerful, but in the dead of night, she will become depressed, tearful and sad.

These essays and circle of friends pictures all have obvious differences, so Gu Chen thought of using information from Zhao Xiaomin's circle of friends to piece together some useful clues.

"Here." Without even thinking about it, Bai Xiaolan opened WeChat, selected her cousin's avatar, clicked on it, handed it to Gu Chen and said, "Just check what you want, I just hope that my cousin is safe and not in any danger, I hope she Can go home quickly."

"Where is this?" While Bai Xiaolan was feeling emotional, Gu Chen had quickly scanned through the news in the past two months, and asked Bai Xiaolan: "The background restaurant of the lion head oil painting appeared most frequently in two months. Do you know where it is?"
