When Xu Lang walked out of Tian Yongchun's office, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.
It was already late at night, and the city, which was extremely noisy during the day, slowly began to become quiet and deserted. There were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the streets, but the police office building behind him was still brightly lit.
Living in this city made of steel, everyone is very tired. From birth, everyone wears a mask and lives in various identities. As they grow older, people wear more and more masks.
Many, in the end, it is no longer possible to know which face is the real face of the person. If the mask is worn for too long, it can no longer be taken off.
So, what is the mask on Sun Wenyao's face? What is the mask on Wang Anyan's face?
Xu Lang returned to CSY alone. Ding Haoqiong and the others were still busy. Because of Xu Lang's temporary order, various public security departments under S City began to work overtime. A storm-like manhunt was officially launched.
.
Sin is actually very close to each of us, just like darkness, hiding around us. As long as we are not careful, we will be swallowed by the darkness and dragged into the endless abyss.
After returning to CSY, Xu Lang began to ask Lu Xing to read relevant information about Meng Bufan, Wang Anyan and several other victims. Xu Lang needed to read through them one by one to find new clues.
The discovery of Luo Jiayan and Lai Pi in Binhai City was undoubtedly very important and brought a new direction to the further investigation of the case. Xu Lang also launched a series of actions based on this clue. However, all
Actions take time to prepare, and they also require time and progress to obtain results. Before the results come out, in fact, there is still a lot of work to be done.
After a conversation with Tian Yongchun, Xu Lang felt that instead of being led by the murderer and falling into a lot of fog, it would be better to return everything to the original point, return to the original direction, and search from the most original place.
clues to uncover the truth.
The file information Xu Lang wanted was quickly sent to the office, and Xu Lang began to read through it one by one.
Caring was killed on November 13th, and now it is the 27th. Half a month has passed. During this period, although the investigation of the case has not made much breakthrough, there are still some clues about the deceased’s identity.
Relevant investigations have made great progress.
Caring, male, forty-five years old, from H city, with a well-off family, both parents are well-known figures, and Caring himself is also a very capable and relatively successful person in his career. He has had two marriages, but two
Marriages are relatively short-lived.
When he first learned about these situations, Xu Lang just thought that the failure of Caring's marriage was mainly related to his character. However, when he saw these things now, Xu Lang had a different view.
Whether it is Caring's first wife Xie Xiaona or his second wife Peng Yuanyuan, their family backgrounds are similar to Caring's. In terms of fame and popularity, Xie Xiaona's parents are almost the same as Guan Maocai. They are even more famous than Guan Maocai.
After all, they are in Yanjing, and Yanjing City is the capital of China. You can imagine the value of this. In terms of financial resources, Peng Yuanyuan's family is not inferior. From Peng Yuanyuan's first marriage to now settling abroad,
Her financial strength is very strong, and both women have received higher education and have very good personal qualities and self-cultivation. After they married Caring, they divorced not long after. Why is this?
Is it true that Sun Wenyao killed Youyou by dismembering his body alive just to help Wang Anyan get revenge? Xu Lang thinks that may not be the case.
After investigating Caring during this period, Xu Lang discovered that Caring itself does have many problems, such as being irritable, irritable, stubborn... These characteristics are indeed consistent with the characteristics of the crime of rage among the seven deadly sins. However,
In fact, there are many people like Caring in life. Why did Sun Wenyao choose Caring?
Looking at the files in front of him, Xu Lang felt that there were still many undiscovered secrets about Caring, and these secrets might be the key to Sun Wenyao's killing of him, or one of the inducements.
Thinking of this, Xu Lang decided to contact the two early stage members of Caring, Xie Xiaona and Peng Yuanyuan. Although they divorced Caring, they had lived with Caring for a while, and they must know Caring better than many people. From them,
, maybe he could spy something, so Xu Lang contacted Xie Xiaona and Peng Yuanyuan based on the contact information in the file.
When they received the call from Xu Lang, the two women behaved surprisingly unanimously. They did not feel the slightest surprise or surprise. On the contrary, they seemed to have known for a long time that the police would find them. When Xu Lang asked to see them,
When they met in person, they only hesitated slightly on the phone and then agreed.
Xie Xiaona was in Yanjing City. She told Xu Lang: "I will fly to S City tomorrow, and we can see each other then."
Peng Yuanyuan is now settled abroad. When Xu Lang called, it happened to be morning there. Peng Yuanyuan agreed to Xu Lang's request without thinking about it. She told Xu Lang: "I have bought the earliest flight."
Estimated air ticket to S city
, I can arrive tomorrow afternoon, and we will have a chat then."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Lang was not in a hurry to read the files, but was thinking about something.
Neither Xie Xiaona nor Peng Yuanyuan were surprised by Xu Lang's call. They could have refused Xu Lang's request, but they still agreed to meet. Obviously, they all had their own ideas, so
, what is the reason that allows them to be so calm?
According to our understanding, Xie Xiaona has been single since her divorce from Caring. It is not easy for a single woman to live with a child. Moreover, Xie Xiaona is still working as a host, which makes it even more difficult.
When Xu Lang mentioned Caring and Caring's death, Xie Xiaona's reaction was very calm, neither arrogant nor impetuous, and very calm. It seemed that Caring's death had nothing to do with her. She didn't know Caring at all.
Xu Lang was somewhat surprised, and Peng Yuanyuan's situation was similar to Xie Xiaona's, which aroused Xu Lang's curiosity even more.
However, after meeting them, the truth about these questions may be clear.
In addition to the two marriages that caught Xu Lang's attention, there were other things that also caught Xu Lang's attention.
Xu Lang found that after graduation and before Guan Maocai retired, Caring's resume was very beautiful and there were no major problems. However, after Guan Maocai retired, Caring's resume began to change. He was in the province.
When I was working, I was sued by many people, and the people who sued were all parties involved in the news reported by Care Care. They sued Care Care because the news reported by Care Care was untrue and suspected of damaging their reputation, so they sued Care Care.
There are also some concerned subordinates, and these subordinates are employees who have resigned or been fired. They sued Concern because their concern violated the labor law, etc. In short, many people sued Concern and sued.
The reasons are also all kinds of strange, but the final result is undoubtedly an exception, and they all lose the case.
When Caring was working in the province, her job position changed several times. Judging from the changed positions, Caring was always being squeezed out and suppressed. The last change was that she was kicked out from the province to City S, where she served as a police officer.
The director of the most leisurely life newspaper.
During the four years that I worked at the Life Newspaper, I was troubled many times by people. Among them, the most serious incident was Meng Bufan's suicide. However, this matter was eventually settled.
Seeing this, Xu Lang turned on his computer and searched for Caring on the Internet. He found that there were several posts on the Internet that resisted and condemned Caring. These posts did not appear after Caring was killed, but appeared long ago.
Yes, and the earliest time these posts appeared was not long after Caring joined the Life Newspaper.
Xu Lang looked at the poster's ID and found that this person seemed to be a reporter, or that he used to be a reporter. Xu Lang had also seen the news reported by this person. He used to be a reporter in the Life Newspaper.
He is a senior reporter, and if Xu Lang remembers correctly, this person should be one of the first people to be kicked out of the Life Newspaper after Caring took office. As for the posts he posted, they all accused Caring of being overbearing and other things.
However, there is nothing substantive in the entire post.
In addition to the posts posted by these people, there is also a forum created two years ago, and the title of the forum is 'Who is the murderer who caused Meng Bufan to commit suicide?'.
Xu Lang carefully read the post posted by the forum owner. In the post, he mentioned many people. The first one was concern, followed by Jiang Zhen, Ai Chengcheng, Meng Siwu, and of course, finally Jiang Lin'er and the photographer.
Zhao Junyi, the poster posted a lot of posts, but not many replies. Most of them were boring people posting irrelevant arguments. Of course, there were also some random advertisements filling them.
The reason why Xu Lang was able to find these posts and forums quickly was mainly because he was concerned about the murder. Some netizens dug up these posts on the Internet and exposed them, which attracted a lot of attention.
After reading some of the posts in the forum, Xu Lang noticed the forum owner's ID, 'ghost', which translated means undead. Obviously, the person who posted this forum should be someone familiar with Meng Bufan, because,
In the posts on the forum, this person mentioned a lot of details about Meng Bufan's life, and these things are impossible for ordinary people to know except for people who are familiar with them.
After discovering this clue, Xu Lang called Liao Yi and asked him to check the relevant information of this ghost. He wanted to know the true identity of the other party.
After doing all this, Xu Lang began to read relevant information about Meng Bufan.
Meng Bufan, male, 30 years old, graduated from the Journalism Department of S University. After graduation, he worked for the Life Daily and became a reporter for the Life Daily. Two years ago, after covering the car accident case of Ai Chengcheng, at his residence
He committed suicide by jumping off a building. Meng Bufan was only twenty-eight when he died. Before committing suicide, Meng Bufan dated a girlfriend named Jiang Yao for five years.
The two originally decided to get married at the end of the year, but Meng Bufan did not wait until that time. In the end, he chose to commit suicide. After his suicide, Jiang Yao's whereabouts were unknown.
When he saw this, Xu Lang became interested in Jiang Yao. He was curious about where Jiang Yao was now.
However, the archives did not mention much about Jiang Yao. What was mentioned was that Jiang Yao was Meng Bufan's girlfriend. Other than that, there was not much information.
So, Xu Lang called Lu Xing and asked him to check Jiang Yao's relevant information. This was originally a very simple matter, but Lu Xing could not find the key information for a long time, because Jiang Yao
Yao's information before Meng Bufan's death can be found, but there is no record of information after that.
Jiang Yao, female, is now 28 years old. She also graduated from S University. However, she graduated not from the journalism department, but from the computer management and application major. After graduation, Jiang Yao joined an IT company to work. Her job is still
The relationship between her and Meng Bufan was relatively stable. However, after Meng Bufan committed suicide by jumping off a building, she suddenly left her job and cut off all contact with the people around her. No one knew where she went.
.
After learning about this situation, new doubts emerged again, and Jiang Yao also became one of the suspects. Therefore, Xu Lang asked Lu Xing to find out more information about Jiang Yao.
Meng Bufan is a journalist. He has reported a lot of news. Unlike most reporters in the Life Daily who just write news for the sake of news, Meng Bufan always looks at issues from a neutral perspective. He even sometimes
Reporting news from the perspective of the victim or the perpetrator, and precisely because of his way of reporting news, his news has attracted a lot of attention. However, since four years ago, Meng Bufan’s
The news began to show some changes.
For example, Meng Bufan had never used some shocking and exaggerated headlines before. However, starting from four years ago, his news headlines began to appear like this, but they did not appear often.
However, as time goes by, this situation becomes more and more common, and the content of his news has also begun to change from the previous neutrality. Many of his news are simply to attract attention.
The reports were no different from those of other reporters at Life Daily, and Meng Bufan's change caused many people who originally supported him and paid attention to him to leave.
The last piece of news Meng Bufan reported was two years ago, that is, some time before he committed suicide. The subject of the news was about the conflict between a single mother and her son, and the conflict between her daughter-in-law and her mother-in-law. As a son and a husband,
On the issue of who should be helped, Meng Bufan expressed his opinion during the report. Although the content was not much, it was still clear that Meng Bufan was on the side of his mother, and this also led to
Many people scolded him.
Since then, Meng Bufan's social account has never updated anything new, nor has he followed this person. Meng Bufan is like a drop of water in the ocean or a grain of sand in the desert, replaced by other people.
After reading this, Xu Lang found that aside from the changes in Meng Bufan after taking over the Shengli Life Daily, the news he reported before was still very intuitive. It can be said that Meng Bufan's three views are still very correct.
, and it is precisely this that causes his news to always be in a tepid state, with little appeal, and what people nowadays pursue is attraction.
After reading Meng Bufan's related files, Xu Lang flipped through Jiang Lin'er's related files.
Jiang Lin'er, female, 28 years old, from Bohai City, graduated from the Journalism Department of S University, is Meng Bufan's junior schoolmate and a reporter for Life Daily.
Jiang Lin'er became a reporter four years ago, and the news she reported were all hot news at the time. Unlike Meng Bufan, the news reported by Jiang Lin'er used headlines that were shocking and shocking.
At first glance, it is a very exaggerated and eye-catching topic, and the content of the report is often the thing that the public cares about most. For example, a man's divorce is not very attractive in itself, but with the suspected cheating, both parties are involved.
They all have lovers, so the topic suddenly started. From the initial suspicion, after hyping up the topic, she began to report some private information about the parties involved, and these things were all very vague in their place, making people daydream about them.
, thereby further pushing the topic to a climax. When the heat dissipated, she began to refute the rumors. In short, she was the one who caused the trouble, and she was the one who ended the matter. In fact, what happened to the person involved was not important in the news. She was just
It was just borrowing the story of the person involved. What she needed was topic and popularity, and nothing else mattered.
Xu Lang checked a lot of news about Jiang Lin'er's reports on the computer. Although the reported news was different, the parties involved were different, and the stories were different, the reporting methods were surprisingly similar, and this was similar to Caring's previous work.
The styles are actually very similar. It can be seen that Jiang Lin'er has learned a lot of experience from Caring, or in other words, Jiang Lin'er is a disciple brought out by Caring.
The biggest difference between Jiang Lin'er and Meng Bufan is that Jiang Lin'er only cares about topics, traffic, and data, and does not care about the meaning of the matter itself, while Meng Bufan cares more about the latter.
As for Zhao Junyi, he appears in all of Jiang Lin'er's news. In addition to text, news also requires pictures, and these pictures were all taken by Zhao Junyi. Jiang Lin'er and Zhao Junyi are partners.
