"Senior Brother Gu, where do you think Zhao Xiaomin is most likely to go?" Lu Weiwei paused for a long time and said, "If you want to say that a love letter is indeed a love letter, but it feels too sad." ”

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

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

"To be honest, I can only guess now, after all, judging from this love letter, your cousin seems to like someone, but someone's attitude towards her is lukewarm, so your cousin is starting to become depressed. ”

Speaking of this, Gu Chen flipped through a few pages left and right in his notebook and said, "This is the last essay, but the essay before this has changed a lot from the essay five months ago. ”

"That's right, pessimistic. Officer Wang finally found an opportunity to interject, and he was relieved.

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

"Thursday, yin, I don't know why, I like a passage: [This is my heart, miraculously everything grows, and then you come here for a walk, and there is no grass here. Maybe that's how I'm feeling right now. ”

"Well, it's exactly the same as the last essay, pessimistic. This sentence is very easy to understand, and Lu Weiwei can also understand it.

Bai Xiaolan said: "The 'you' in this is my cousin's netizen?"

"Possibly. Gu Chen nodded and continued to urge: "Senior Brother Wang, you go back and see if there are any new clues." ”

"Good. Officer Wang was not ambiguous, and immediately went forward to read it again, and silently muttered:

"Wednesday, Yin, [Have you tried a long-distance relationship?If you did, are you still together?]"

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

"Another fan asked me why? I said that the distance is too far, and when I want to drink hot water, the person who handed me the cup at night is not him, haha, do you say miserable? I feel miserable myself. ”

"Tuesday, Sunny, alas, I haven't found my ideal other half yet, but come to think of it, it's normal, I haven't been able to become my ideal self yet, have I?"

"Monday, Sunny, you're so lucky to be liked. ”

"Sunday, Sunny, the world owes me a you, the world owes you, not you. ”

......

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

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

It's like if you eat a lot of good food in a restaurant, but the restaurant never tells you the price, giving you a sense of mystery.

The more you can eat, the more bottomless your heart becomes, for fear that the store will suddenly pull out a sky-high menu.

Lu Weiwei and Bai Xiaolan were silent, their mood was nothing more than that.

Officer Wang was not reconciled, and he began to desperately flip forward, forward, and forward......

But after turning over the entire notebook, the "he" written by Zhao Xiaomin was like a shadow and never appeared.

"Senior Brother Wang, have you found anything?" While listening to Officer Wang's silent recitation, Gu Chen had also been actively looking for new clues in the room.

"Nope. Officer Wang was a little frustrated, and said dejectedly: "These dates are not consecutive numbers, some are a week apart, and some are three or four days apart. ”

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

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

Officer Wang then began to look through his notebook until he silently read one of the essays out loud:

"Tuesday, rain, I found that people, if you are not careful, you will become the most hated and disgusting kind of person you used to be, and I am like this now, I am fed up. ”

Gu Chen looked at it and found that there was some dirt on the paper, so he wiped it with his hand.

"This ...... Are they tears?"

"Tears?" Hearing Gu Chen's words, Bai Xiaolan hurried over.

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

"Was it 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?"

"Wouldn't it?The first two months felt pretty good, and we often ate together, how could it be?" Bai Xiaolan wasn't very sure, but suddenly said, "Wait, you wait first." ”

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

"You see, 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, my cousin was in a bad mood?"

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

"No...... It's unlikely, right?" Bai Xiaolan was also stunned for a moment, and didn't know how to explain it for a while, so she slid back the circle of friends for another day.

"You see, the next day my cousin was fine, and we went shopping at the mall, and I remember that she was very happy that day, and she was not as sad as she wrote 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, they didn't seem to see that Zhao Xiaomin had mood swings.

Lu Weiwei said: "Bai Xiaolan, hasn't your cousin ever had a boyfriend?"

"Nope. Bai Xiaolan shook her head and said, "My cousin has a very high eye, since the last time I saw a photo with Gu Chen in my circle of friends, she said that her mate selection criteria must be Gu Chen in the photo." ”

Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei couldn't help but look at Gu Chen.

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

"Hehe, I'm kidding you, Senior Brother Gu, look at what makes you nervous, people say that you are looking for a partner, you have to find it according to your standards, and they didn't say that it was you. Lu Weiwei also complained on the side.

The heart says that all women in the world are the same......

Gu Chen has a handsome face like a national husband, which woman would not be impressed?

After seeing Gu Chen, the criteria for choosing a mate will naturally improve a lot.

"In other words, your cousin may have a crush on someone, but she has always hidden it in her heart, and even you don't reveal it?" Officer Wang asked Bai Xiaolan based on his own analysis.

This surprised Bai Xiaolan.

If you want to say it, cousin Zhao Xiaomin has the best relationship with herself.

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

This seems a bit unreasonable for 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 didn't tell me because of the distress in her heart, right? Since the last month, my cousin's circle of friends has become more and more extreme and pessimistic, and I have gradually realized that there may be something wrong with my cousin, but I just don't know what she is thinking in her head. ”

After Bai Xiaolan thought about it, she also exhaled heavily 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 reveal this person to you, or maybe it's inconvenient for this person to be revealed to you." ”

"Eh, Senior Sister Lu, you reminded me. Gu Chen was suddenly overjoyed and said, "There is indeed such a possibility, the man Zhao Xiaomin knows is in a long-distance relationship, and it is inconvenient for her to make it public." ”

However, 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 reason for Bai Xiaolan's depression. ”

"It's horrible. Officer Wang shook his head and said, "Is this young man's thoughts really so complicated? If you like it, if it's suitable, then be together, if it's not suitable, don't delay each other, why are you still depressed?"

"Lao Wang, what do you say?" Lu Weiwei was unconvinced: "If you haven't experienced other people's experiences, don't comment randomly." ”

"It doesn't matter. Bai Xiaolan shook her head and couldn't help but say, "I don't care about this, as long as I can find my cousin, any hypothesis is fine." ”

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

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

Bai Xiaolan was suddenly aggrieved, and tears were about to fall out: "Then in this way, my cousin really can't come back?"

"But it's not impossible. Seeing that Bai Xiaolan's emotions were out of control, Gu Chen hurriedly comforted: "At least we know by now that your cousin Zhao Xiaomin must know a long-distance boyfriend, and she likes this long-distance boyfriend, obviously more than this long-distance boyfriend." ”

"You think, your cousin is an Internet celebrity, and there are hundreds of thousands of fans, this kind of condition, logically speaking, is held by fans, and her mentality is also high, she can humble herself like this for a man she likes, which shows that this man is also very good. ”

"Senior Brother Gu is right. Lu Weiwei listened to Gu Chen's analysis, and also said: "And Senior Brother Gu also said just now, I didn't bring cosmetics and mobile phone chargers, which shows that your cousin is not going far away, but in Jiangnan City." ”

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

"Gu Chen, what do you mean...... This long-distance relationship netizen, may have a problem?" Officer Wang asked.

"That's right, and this long-distance relationship netizen is the most suspicious. Gu Chen also began to piece together the information based on the previous fragmented clues.

"Are you still investigating?"

While everyone was thinking, the old lady had already hobbled upstairs and urged at the door, "Let's have lunch first." ”

"All right, Grandma. Bai Xiaolan nodded and urged everyone: "Eat first, and then talk after eating." ”

In a short time, everyone was already sitting around the table.

Although the small villa is large, it is only inhabited by the elderly and an old dog, and it is slightly empty.

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

"It's been a long time since I've bought so many people. The old lady was eating, with a kind face: "In addition to holidays, in this place, there are a few neighbors, and Ah Huang accompanies me. ”

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

The old lady waved her hand: "No, I have lived in this place all my life, and my health is not good now, so I will settle here in the future, and I don't want to go to other places to block it." ”

After saying this, the old lady sandwiched another piece of meat, sent it to Bai Xiaolan's bowl, and said, "Eat more, you have lost weight." ”

After Gu Chen ate a bowl of rice, he put the dishes and chopsticks back in the kitchen, and then came to the living room and said, "Old lady, we will 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 transcript and asked, "Does Zhao Xiaomin's mood fluctuate significantly these days?"

Seeing that the old lady didn't understand much, Gu Chen said in popular language: "Sometimes it's suddenly sad, and sometimes it's like it's okay." ”

"This one...... There really is. The old lady thought about it for a few seconds, and then she said, "In the days before her disappearance, when I passed by her room at night, I heard her crying. ”

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

"This one...... I also asked, but every time she said that it was the TV series that was too touching and uncomfortable to watch, but strangely, I didn't find out that she was watching TV, but she didn't want to say it, so I didn't ask much. ”

"My grandmother was not very nosy. Bai Xiaolan hurriedly explained to a few people.

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

"Well...... old lady hesitated for a few seconds, shook her head and said, "I don't seem to see it, this kid likes to rest assured that no one knows what she is thinking in her head." ”

"Thank you. Make a record, Gu Chen put the transcript into his carrying bag.

After lunch, after a few people quickly cleaned the old man's rice bowls, they were ready to leave.

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

Ah Huang saw everyone off, while looking back at the old lady, the limping appearance also indicates that Ah Huang, a fourteen-year-old dog-old animal, is about to enter the twilight of life.

This dog has accompanied Bai Xiaolan through a special time, but I don't know how long I can accompany your old lady.

Ah Huang walked slower and slower, and he could no longer run to bid farewell to Bai Xiaolan like before.

Bai Xiaolan suddenly felt distressed, and said to Gu Chen: "Watching Ah Huang grow old day by day, it's really sad, although he is a Chinese pastoral dog, he has been very sensible and loyal since he was a child, and it is the only companion of his grandmother." ”

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

Lu Weiwei also said: "I also had such a dog that year, and then I didn't dare to raise a dog anymore, and the person who raised a dog was most afraid of the final parting." ”

"By the time you come back next time, it might be gone. Officer Wang lit a cigarette for himself and said leisurely: "When I was a child, my grandfather also had an old dog called Laifu. ”

"One time I went to my grandfather's house during the summer vacation, and my grandfather said that he hadn't come home for a few days, thinking that it had quietly 'left', and when I was still young, when I returned to the city, it rushed to see us off, but it still left. ”

"If you have a dog for three days, you will remember it for three years. Gu Chen looked at the sad looks of several people and said, "Fortunately, my family was not allowed to have pets before. ”

"I feel sorry for my grandmother. Bai Xiaolan looked at her grandmother at the entrance of Zhulin Village opposite, and couldn't help but say: "Grandma actually wants to get out of this path and go to the outside world to have a look, but she doesn't seem to want to disturb us, and she is reluctant to let her hometown." ”

"I used to have my cousin with me, and now my cousin is also missing, although my grandmother didn't react on the surface, in fact, I know that my grandmother is very sad, so you must help me find my cousin, and I 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 sped along the road they had come from.

This time, instead of Officer Wang driving, Gu Chen sat in the co-pilot, holding Zhao Xiaomi's notebook sealed with a forensic bag, and couldn't help but ponder.

Lu Weiwei and Bai Xiaolan sat in the back row, the two hugged each other, Bai Xiaolan leaned her head on Lu Weiwei's shoulder, quietly in a daze.

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

Bai Xiaolan was named, and was suddenly stunned for a moment, then sat up and said, "Of course you can, but what do you want your phone for?"

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

Gu Chen had actually imprinted all of Zhao Xiaomin's records in the transcript in his mind when Officer Wang was silently reading and flipping through them.

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

She is optimistic and cheerful in front of her family and friends, but in the dead of night, she becomes depressed, tearful and sad.

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

"Give. Bai Xiaolan didn't think about it, she opened WeChat directly, clicked on her cousin's avatar, handed it to Gu Chen, and said: "If you want to check, I just hope that my cousin is safe and sound, and she won't encounter any danger, I hope she can go home soon." ”

"Where is this?" At the same time as Bai Xiaolan sighed, Gu Chen had already quickly brushed through the dynamics of the past two months, and asked Bai Xiaolan: "This background restaurant with a lion's head oil painting appears most frequently in two months, do you know where it is?"
