Lu Bai nodded. "Ordinary people will subconsciously look around when facing the mirror, but there are two types of people. The first is those who are particularly confident in their own appearance. The second is those who are particularly disgusted with their own appearance. people."
"...His movements are obviously very deliberate, so I am more inclined to believe that he belongs to the former group. After all, his working environment is quite special, and it is not easy to build confidence in appearance."
"What does this mean?" Shen Shiyu was a little surprised.
"Everyone has a past that they don't want to mention, or fears, or disgust, or other things, and understanding these is usually a way to get information about them faster," Lu Bai said.
Shen Shiyu responded in silence.
Lu Bai took a sip of the cold coffee with a smile on his face. "Ms. Shen is a smart person. You should know that when one method doesn't work, it will be easier to start from another angle."
"From the victim's perspective?" Shen Shiyu asked.
Lu Bai smiled and did not answer.
"I'm sorry, Miss Shen, you rejected my first request, so we can only talk here today. I still have a meeting, so I'm sorry."
Chu Wuzheng's premonition was indeed correct. Sure enough, just a few days later, he received another call from Sang Jie. She asked him to have dinner, but he said he was not free, so she went directly to the door of the police station.
"I asked you to stop making trouble."
Chu Wuzheng was troubled by the case at this time, so how could he be in the mood to deal with her? Just as he was about to push her away and walk through the door, Sang Jie stepped forward and grabbed his hand.
"What are you doing?"
There were still people coming and going at the door, and most of them knew Chu Wuzheng. In order not to attract attention, he had no choice but to pull Sang Jie to the side.
"Don't be so fierce." Sang Jie saw that he was angry, so she smiled and took his hand and shook it. "I'm here to help you."
"What are you helping me with?" Chu Wuzheng shook her off and frowned slightly.
"Are you investigating the cases of big celebrities recently?" Sang Jie asked him.
Chu Wuzheng nodded, this case is no longer a secret.
"I just have a clue for you."
"Speak quickly." Chu Wuzheng urged.
"What's your attitude?" Sang Jie pursed her lips in dissatisfaction. "I'm not your informant, but I'm still rushing to provide you with clues. Don't you feel touched?"
"I'm so moved, please tell me."
Feeling that he was perfunctory, Sang Jie became even more reluctant and refused to speak on air.
Chu Wuzheng really didn't want to spend any more time with her, so he walked around to her and asked in a low voice, "What do you want?"
Sang Jie raised her head and smiled. "Since you can't eat with me, please treat me to an ice cream."
Chu Wuzheng curled his lips. In this winter, he is not afraid of the cold...
The two of them walked out of the nearby ice cream shop. Sang Jie said as they walked, "That Feng Mian has been to our bar before."
"When did this happen?"
"About a month ago." Sang Jie recalled.
"Feng Mian is a man who has kept himself clean. At that time, he found a few girls to drink with him in the private room where he was, but the waiter who came in to deliver fruits said that those girls couldn't get into him at all and could only stay with him. Keep the other man with you."
"Oh, by the way, I heard that Feng Mian had a fight with that man."
"Why fight?" Chu Wu argued.
"I don't know the specific reason, but I heard from the girls accompanying me that they seemed to be chatting about some past events, and then Feng Mian became anxious..."
Walking back to the police station, it was already dark. Chu Wuzheng didn't say anything and just took Sang Jie into the car.
"Where are we going?" Sang Jie asked.
"bar."
When they went out and met a red light at the corner, seeing that there were still a few mouthfuls of ice cream left in their hands, Sang Jie took a spoonful and handed it to Chu Wuzheng's mouth.
"Take a taste."
Chu Wuzheng shook his head.
Sang Jie didn't take back her hand. "Try it, it's delicious."
The traffic light ahead changed. Chu Wuzheng raised his hand to push her away and controlled the steering wheel.
"Don't interfere with my driving." He said looking straight ahead.
Sang Jie had no choice but to stuff the ice cream that was about to melt into her mouth and said, "It's boring."
When he arrived at the bar where Sang Jie worked, Chu Wuzheng first went to the front desk to get the guest list registered at the bar on the day Feng Mian went there, and found the man who came with Feng Mian, named Tang Lei.
Then he contacted the boss and asked for the surveillance video of that day. He sent Tang Lei's appearance to Da Lian and asked him to investigate.
At this time, the bar had officially started to open for business, and noisy crowds came one after another, drinking and dancing to the music on the dance floor.
When Chu Wuzheng came out of the control room, he passed by the hall and saw the colorful light from the light ball above his head, which made him dizzy.
Just as he was about to leave, Sang Jie stopped him.
She put her feet up and leaned against Chu Wuzheng's ear. "Look at that little girl, she was the one who accompanied Feng Mian and the others that day."
Chu Wuzheng followed the direction she pointed and saw the girl sitting on the sofa not far away. "Call her over and I'll ask her."
"That won't work." Sang Jie immediately objected. "People here are most afraid of the police. She will definitely not tell you the truth."
Chu Wuzheng sneered. "I can't tell you are afraid of me."
Sang Jie said something in response to him, but the music was too loud and he didn't hear it clearly.
In order to get clues faster, Chu Wuzheng listened to Sang Jie's advice, concealed his identity, asked the little girl to come over and drink with him, and chatted with him.
Chu Wuzheng also opened a bottle of wine worth more than 2,000 yuan, which was counted as her commission. The little girl was very happy and talked a lot while drinking.
She said that what impressed her most was what Feng Mian said to Tang Lei - "You cheated me back then, and I cheat you now. This is called the cycle of cause and effect."
The little girl handed the wine glass to Chu Wuzheng's mouth, and Chu Wuzheng took it and drank it down in one gulp.
In order not to reveal his identity, he had to ask vaguely and chat a few words from time to time.
"In your job, you usually come into contact with a lot of celebrities, right?"
"Actually, celebrities are no different from ordinary people." The little girl leaned on Chu Wuzheng's shoulder and smiled after being pushed away. "Actually, in private, they are not that good at all."
"Just like Feng Mian, when I looked closely, I felt that his face was too thin and not good-looking at all."
"And he ate and drank that night, and ordered several takeaways. I thought how hard it was for celebrities to stay in shape..."
The stamina of the foreign wine was so strong that when he came out of the bar, Chu Wuzheng couldn't even stand still.
He barely walked a few steps while holding on to the wall. Sang Jie quickly chased after him. After he calmed down a little, she helped him get into the car.
"Are you okay?" Sang Jie asked after sitting up.
Chu Wuzheng didn't want to speak yet, so he just waved his hand at her.
He sat in the back seat for a long time. It wasn't until he raised his head and breathed calmly that he felt more comfortable. He raised his hand to rub his head and opened his eyes.
A wave of heat spread to Chu Wuzheng's face, and he saw Sang Jie's small face near him.
"what time is it?"
Chu Wuzheng withdrew his gaze and was about to get up to get his phone when Sang Jie next to him suddenly raised her head and kissed him on the face.
After feeling it, Chu Wuzheng's eyes froze, and his eyes suddenly became clearer when he looked at her. "What are you doing?"
"I'm sorry." Sang Jie stared, looking a little innocent. "...There was a voice in my head that insisted I do this."
"You should tell that voice that this is inappropriate." Chu Wuzheng straightened up and stayed away from her.
