Eight Fresh Soup

Chapter 34 She's at the scene (2)
"Yes. That's right." The more I thought about it, the more angry I complained, "She is too narcissistic. Even if I like spicy food, there is no need to say this is a necessary element for success. It seems that If you don’t like spicy food, you will be inefficient at work and have no enthusiasm for work. As far as I know, many successful people like to eat light food.”

"Don't be angry, she has always been narcissistic."

"If I didn't find clues in it, I really want to tear this book up." I typed quickly.

Xiaofen only sent me a puzzled expression, and then the phone next to me rang immediately.

No need to answer the phone, I know it's Xiaofen.

"What clue? What clue?" she asked anxiously.

"I tell you, you can't tell anyone," I said.

"Don't worry, I will never tell anyone!" she promised.

Xiaofen's mouth tightened and then loosened. I'm really not sure whether she can keep a secret, but I need her to do something for me now, so I can only throw the bait.

"I can tell you, but you have to do me a favor first," I said.

"Mo Lan, you are so troublesome." She said coquettishly, and I could almost see her swinging her shoulders.

"Okay, at most I'll treat you to dinner later, how about Japanese barbecue?" I tempted her, Xiaofen loves barbecue.

She was immediately impressed.

"Okay. Then tell me."

"Actually, the matter is very simple. Now I want to know if Zhang Ximin has the book "The Sow". Can you find out for me?"

"Why didn't you ask her yourself?" Xiaofen asked me back.

"If I ask her, she'll be suspicious," she said.

Xiaofen's voice immediately became tense.

"You mean, she's a suspect too, right?" she asked in a low voice.

"Of course she's a suspect, even me," I said.

"Would it be weird if I went up and asked her if she had the book?" she asked in a low voice.

"Hey, just say that your copy is lost. I heard from Chai Ying that I gave her a copy and asked her to borrow it. You can see her reaction and let me know when the time comes."

Xiaofen laughed "hehe" on the other end of the phone.

"Mo Lan, what a ghost you are. What else can I order?"

"Did she catch a cold these days?"

"Yes, she has a cold, and she has been sneezing for the past few days. No wonder, who told her to wear so little? I have been in contact with her a lot these days, and I am really afraid of being infected by her," Xiaofen said here, wondering asked, "Why do you ask that?"

I didn't answer her, and continued to ask: "Is she a vegetarian recently?"

"Yeah, I don't even eat rice."

"Is she losing weight?" I think Zhang Ximin is already thin enough.

"Of course not. She said that she is practicing yoga. She has been eating vegetables like a rabbit for the past few days. It makes me want to vomit." Xiaofen suddenly changed the subject and said, "Where shall we go for barbecue?"

"How about going to Donglin Hotel to eat Japanese-style barbecue buffet? One hundred and fifty people, my friend has eaten there, and said the meat is fresh and the environment is good." I suggested enthusiastically.

"Wow, is that the one introduced on TV a few days ago?" Xiaofen almost cheered.

"Yes." I agreed.

"OK, what else do you want?" Xiaofen asked again, I think she could die for me for this barbecue meal.

"I also want to know if Zhang Ximin has a boyfriend."

"I can tell you this right now. Not long after Zhu Qiang finished distributing the wedding candy, she revealed to Mr. Li in the typesetting room that she met a man on the Internet. The two seemed to have a lively chat. The man even gave her two How about a quarterly beauty magazine! We discussed in private, and we all felt that this man is not very good, how can you say that a man gives a beauty magazine to his girlfriend? It's too stingy."

"Which magazine is it, do you know?"

"It seems to be "New Knowledge of Beauty." Xiaofen was not sure, but she said immediately, "Okay, for the sake of barbecue, let me inquire again for you. Teacher Li and I have always had a good relationship. She even introduced her son to a tutor."

"By the way, when Zhang Ximin told Teacher Li, did he say how long she had been dating that man?"

"We won't know each other for a long time." Xiaofen laughed, "Zhu Qiang got married only two months after leaving the magazine. She will not be in two boats when she and Zhu Qiang are getting along well. I don't think Zhang Ximin is This kind of people."

I agree.

By the way, will it be like this?Suddenly a flash of inspiration came to my mind, and I decided to go to the newsstand to find out if there was any "Beauty New Knowledge".

That night, Gao Jing and I made an appointment to meet at a cafe near the police station.He arrived 10 minutes later than me. When I saw him coming in, I wanted to attack him, but when I saw him panting and sweating profusely, I changed my mind.He sat down on the chair across from me.

"What's the matter with you? Are you not at the police station?" I asked angrily.

"I was just at X University." He said while wiping the sweat off his face with the back of his hand.

University X is far away from this cafe, which is basically the two ends of the city.

"Why didn't you say it earlier? We can definitely meet at a place near X University." I scolded, seeing him dripping sweat, I couldn't bear it, and hurriedly found a tissue to wipe his sweat.

Panting heavily, he looked at me through a slit in the tissue.

"I don't want to tell you to rush around." He picked up the glass of boiled water with a slice of lemon on the table and drank it all in one go.

I think he looks like a college student who just ran off the basketball court. Although he is still dripping sweat and a little out of breath, his whole body exudes endless vitality.

"Okay, drink some tea first and calm down." I looked at him with a smile and said.

"You came to me, did you remember something?"

I nodded.

He gave me a nervous look.

"Go ahead," he said after a moment, with an "I'm ready" look on his face.

"Then I'll tell you." I dug out the photo printed from Chai Ying's blog and the press release from my bag, and pushed them in front of him, "Look at it, and find out if there is any connection."

He looked at the photos carefully, read the press release again, and then went back to look at the photos. Finally, I saw his eyes fall on the photo of Wang Chengbing's mother holding a mobile phone.He tapped "Duk, Tuk, Tuk" three times on the photo with his finger.I know what he's going to say next, the phone broke, that's what he's going to say.

Unexpectedly, when he opened his mouth, it was completely beyond my expectation.

"There are people we know in here." He said calmly.

ah? !I almost jumped out of my chair in shock.

"Where, where?" I asked in horror, wondering why I didn't find it?

"Obviously. It's right here." He pointed to the three people behind Wang Chengbing's father, ah, I thought those were the workers who cleaned up the scene!who knows……

Now I believe why criminals like to disguise so much. An ordinary-looking person, in a place where you would not expect him to appear, has changed his clothes again, and it is really difficult to recognize him for a while.That man was dressed like a digger that day, with a stained hat on his head. Who would pay attention to him?Then I remembered that this person said that his hobby is camping, his driving skills are not so good, and he even drove to Tibet.

"See it?" he asked me.

"I didn't notice he was there," I said ruefully.

"I didn't expect that he would be there. It seems that he knows a lot about the Butterfly Valley." When he said this, he suddenly turned to me and asked, "Isn't that what you want to tell me?"

"Of course not!" I exclaimed, ashamed of my carelessness.

"Don't be in a hurry. Speak slowly." He smiled and tugged at my sleeve, his fingers almost touched my hand, I quickly withdrew my hand, now that I was frustrated, I didn't want to have any intimacy with him.

"I want you to see the most beautiful one." I said angrily.

"Are you talking about this picture of butterflies flying around?" He found the picture right away.

Butterflies are flying around!It almost sounds like talking about flies!People who are not sentimental are not sentimental!
"Yes. Didn't you see anything?" I asked him angrily.

He shook his head vigorously.

"Really?"

"Yeah." He nodded again, and then he urged, "Come on, Moran."

"Okay. It's actually very simple. This photo was taken on a sunny day. You can see that the sun has turned the creek into a silver ribbon. Also, if the weather is not so good, there will not be so many butterflies dancing. You Say?" I pointed to him.

He looked up at me, as if to say, I didn’t come to listen to your lyric poems. I gave him a blank look and continued: “But the excerpt from the press release was written in Wang Chengbing’s diary. After the afternoon of October 10th, there It rains every day, and looking at the photos of the funeral, it is also cloudy."

After listening to my words, the expression on his face finally changed subtly.

"You mean the photo wasn't taken during the funeral?"

"Yes. Let's look at the angle of the photo. You see, the small thatched shed where the accident happened is here," I pointed it out to him. "This means that the place where Chai Ying was standing was the upper left of the small thatched shed."

"What do you want to say?" His expression became serious.

I didn't answer her question, and pointed to the mobile phone in Wang Chengbing's mother's hand: "Look, the mobile phone broke."

"what do you mean……"

"I suspect that Chai Ying didn't rush there after receiving Wang Chengbing's call. I know she never camps because she has no time. For a layman like her, if there is no guide to lead her, she will have to follow what Wang Chengbing gave on the phone. It is impossible to find them in the dense forest where the east, west, north, and south cannot be distinguished. I think she followed them into the Butterfly Valley, and then she pretended to break up with them, but in fact she was secretly observing them all the time. Maybe she wanted to record their lives at the beginning, and thought it was a good subject, but later, things changed, I think, maybe in order to create a sensational news, she finally made a cruel decision..." I sighed and hesitated for a moment before continuing. I don't know if my judgment is right, but I think it's very likely.

"I think she watched them die, murdered them in a way," I said.

Gao Jing looked at me for a while, but didn't show any surprise.

"Could it be someone else's photo?" he hypothesized.
