deep sin

Chapter 119 Invisible Connection

Qin Ruonan was a little unfamiliar with this term, but An Changpu had a little understanding of this "profession", but he didn't know much, so his astonishment was more due to the fact that Xiaoyang, as a junior high school boy, would engage in such a job. Work, not Qin Ruonan's simple ignorance of what game power leveling does.

"Is this accurate? Xiaoyang told you personally? Does his family know about this?" An Changpu frowned and asked Wu Donghai a series of questions.

Wu Donghai quickly shook his head: "He only told me about this matter, and no one else told it. If it weren't because you are the police today, I wouldn't even tell you! To be a person, you must be trustworthy, otherwise Who else will treat you as a buddy!"

Although this boy has a delicate mind that doesn't match his appearance, when he speaks, he quickly reveals a childishness that matches his age, but from the look on his face, he doesn't realize this, but seems to be I feel that my words and deeds are like a real man, and I unconsciously reveal a touch of pride.

Qin Ruonan took out the game strategy book that Xiaoyang found under the pillow in Xiaoyang's bedroom, pointed to the cartoon character on the cover and asked Wu Donghai: "Is this the online game that Xiaoyang usually plays the most?"

Wu Donghai took a few glances, and soon came to a conclusion, nodded.

Qin Ruonan took out her mobile phone again and found a photo stored in the mobile phone. That photo was when she and An Changpu went to Fang Da's house to meet Xia Ying for the first time, and she sneaked into Fang Wan's room to check it. It was taken during the situation, and the small models placed on the desk in Fang Wan's room can be clearly seen in the photo.

"Help me see, are these little people the same game played by You Xiaoyang?" She handed the phone to Wu Donghai.

Wu Donghai took it over, took a glance, then shook his head, denying Qin Ruonan's guess: "No, I also played the game played by Xiaoyang for a few days, there is absolutely no such game character in it! It must not be the same game. In the same game, you see, the styles of the characters are obviously different!"

"You played this game before? Why didn't you play it later?" An Changpu could tell that Wu Donghai still had a strong interest in online games.

Wu Donghai rubbed the soles of his shoes on the ground with some embarrassment: "I'm not as convenient as You Xiaoyang. I live in school, and my parents can't take care of me. I'm a commuter, and my parents stare at me every day when I go home. , if I dare to play games secretly again, my dad can take my skin off!"

"Then, do you know who is more familiar with the characters in online games?" Qin Ruonan still did not give up asking whether those character models are online game characters.

Wu Donghai thought for a while, and said: "This...or you can go to the small supermarket across the road outside the school gate and ask! There are many kinds of game cards sold there, and the boss usually plays by himself. I guess he must You know a lot, go ask him and try!"

After thanking Wu Donghai for his cooperation and help, An Changpu and Qin Ruonan walked out of the school gate, crossed the road and went straight to the small supermarket across the road.

"What's the situation?" An Changpu was curious about Qin Ruonan's persistent desire to find out about the cartoon characters in the phone photos.

Qin Ruonan roughly repeated what he saw in Fang Wan's room that day, and then said: "Fang Wan lied about going to tutoring at night, but in fact he didn't return home at night. He disappeared after wandering around alone for a while. Xiaoyang escaped from the bedroom window in the middle of the night and went to surf the Internet, and then disappeared. The most obvious characteristic of You Xiaoyang before his disappearance was his obsession with online games, so I suddenly remembered the little people on the table in Fang Wan’s room , I feel that if it happens to be a character in an online game, then maybe the online game is the invisible connection between the two missing boys."

"It's possible, but if there is indeed a connection between these two children, it's not a good thing." An Changpu sighed, and walked into the supermarket first, followed by Qin Ruonan.

A wind chime is hung on the door of the small supermarket. When the door is moved, the wind chime jingles. The inside of the supermarket is not spacious. Two rows of full shelves make the middle road narrower. There was a small counter. Behind the counter was a man sitting with his back facing the door. When he heard the sound of the wind chimes, he shouted without looking back: "You can choose what you buy. I'll be ready right away."

An Changpu and Qin Ruonan walked to the counter and saw from behind that the man was sitting in front of the computer concentrating on playing a game. His hands were flying over the keyboard, quickly manipulating the characters in the game. An Changpu and Qin Ruonan Ruonan is an amateur in online games, so he can only watch silently from behind, not knowing when he will end.

Fortunately, within 2 minutes, as a flame-like light flashed across the screen, the man tapped the keyboard heavily with his hand, and turned around slowly. Suddenly, he saw two people poking straight at the counter. , was taken aback, looked at them with some surprise, and asked, "What do you want to buy?"

"I don't want to buy anything, I want to ask you something!" An Changpu smiled at him, took the mobile phone from Qin Ruonan's hand, and handed the photo to the supermarket owner, "Please take a look for us, these few Is the character model from some online game?"

This kind of request is a bit thoughtless. Fortunately, the owner of the supermarket is also a warm-hearted person. In addition, there is no business right now, and a "battle" in the game has just ended. For the time being, he is quite free, so he took An Chang Pu looked at the mobile phone that Pu handed over, nodded after just one glance, and took out a few cards from the counter that looked like mobile phone recharge cards, but the patterns on them were fancy and lively: "Yes, here, it's in this game, Do you want to recharge or what?"

Qin Ruonan's gaze fell on those cards, and asked, "What are these for?"

The supermarket owner looked at her strangely, and his tone became a little indifferent, as if she was asking the stupidest question in the world: "Recharge your card!"

"Do you have this game?" Qin Ruonan took out the game guide again and asked the supermarket owner.

The supermarket owner nodded without moving or speaking.

"Can you show it to me?" Qin Ruonan asked.

The supermarket owner's expression softened a little, he leaned over and flipped through again, took out a few cards with different designs and put them on the counter, and put away the few cards just now.

Qin Ruonan picked it up and flipped through it, picked out four cards with different designs, and asked, "Excuse me, how much are these cards?"

The supermarket owner finally became interested because of her words. He pointed out and said, "This one is for 10 yuan, this one is for 30 yuan, this one is for 50 yuan, and this one is for 100 yuan. You are the same." Do you want one or...?"

"Thank you, I've troubled you!" Qin Ruonan nodded politely to the supermarket owner, pulled An Changpu and turned away, leaving the supermarket owner with a livid face to stare at the backs of the two of them and sulk.

"Why do you suddenly pay attention to the denominations of those recharge point cards?" An Changpu is now basically sure that Fang Wan and You Xiaoyang may have a common hobby of online games, but he doesn't quite understand why Qin Ruonan pays attention to it. The target suddenly shifted from the character model to the face value of the recharge point card.

Qin Ruonan got in the car and told An Changpu that they still needed to go back to You Xiaoyang's house, and then explained his reasons: "Just now at You Xiaoyang's house, when we were talking with You Zhou and his wife in his bedroom , I saw several game recharge cards of that kind on his table, three for 10 yuan, two for 30 yuan, four for 50 yuan, and three for 100 yuan. These add up to a total value of 590 yuan. For a junior high school student, and a junior high school student with that kind of family economic conditions, it is not a small amount, we need to go back and ask again."

"Just now, during our conversation with You Zhou and Lan Xinli, you have clearly remembered the patterns of the 12 cards on You Xiaoyang's desk, and how many of each pattern are there?" An Chang Po felt a little unbelievable.

The last time Qin Ruonan used her amazing photographic memory to investigate Lu Min's murder of a transgender person by herself. At that time, in order to win the cooperation of several old people, she just relied on her memory to watch the The chessboard that was disrupted after a few glances was restored to its original appearance, but An Changpu was not there at the time and did not see that scene, so she was surprised that she memorized the patterns on a few game recharge point cards .

If he knew that Qin Ruonan could even remember the positions of the 32 chess pieces in a short period of time, he would not be surprised by the mere 12 card patterns with 4 different denominations.

Qin Ruonan didn't look very proud, but looked a little shy, nodded, and said modestly: "The brain is not bright enough, so we can only make up for it with a good memory."

"You are considered to be very talented, right? If anyone becomes your boyfriend or husband in the future, you really have to cheer up, otherwise, if you make any mistakes, you will not be remembered forever!" An Changpu said casually. She was joking while driving towards You Xiaoyang's house.

Qin Ruonan glared at An Changpu angrily: "It seems that a good memory and a narrow mind are not the same concept. You must not confuse it. It will ruin my reputation. If no one wants it, I don't want to have a bleak end."

An Changpu laughed, and said tut tut: "Actually, after getting along for a long time, I found that you are quite interesting! You have the potential to be a sneer! Not bad! I like it!"

Even though he knew in his heart that this "like" was not the other's "like", Qin Ruonan still blushed involuntarily.
