Liu Xing was about to leave the book city, but suddenly he couldn't find Liu Shiming, he walked around several book shopping areas in the book city, but still didn't see Liu Shiming.

"Is Sister Ming missing?" Wang Lanlan's big eyes flashed, and her mind moved, "Could it be that she was kidnapped by someone from the Goddess Book Society?"

"This is a book city, how can there be a kidnapping?"

"Not necessarily, many criminals have high IQs, and their kidnapping methods are absolutely beyond imagination. Wang Lanlan analyzed, "According to my many years of analysis and summary of the kidnapping case in Tianhai City, I have found a pattern -- the more crowded the place, the higher the probability of the kidnapping case!"

Although Liu Xing felt that her summary was unreliable, he had never found his sister, and he was not sure: "You can borrow my mobile phone for me." ”

Wang Lanlan dug into her pocket, took out a pink mobile phone, and handed it over.

Liu Xing dialed Liu Shiming's mobile phone number.

"Sorry, the phone you are calling is turned off......"

Shutdown?

Wang Lanlan remembered something, and then analyzed: "It seems that Sister Ming really had an accident, as far as I know, after more than 90% of kidnapping cases, the kidnappers will immediately turn off the hostage's mobile phone, Sister Ming should have really been kidnapped by someone from the Goddess Book Society......"

Liu Xing's brows furrowed slightly.

"Liu Xing, don't worry, I have it. Wang Lanlan comforted, "I am a mystery novelist, and I have written the plot of this kind of kidnapping several times, so I have some experience." We must be calm now, not panic, and then we must take timely measures to rescue the hostages. Liu Xing, you call the police first, and I will go to the service desk to inform the staff of the city and ask them to cooperate in finding the kidnapper......"

Liu Xing interrupted: "It shouldn't really be kidnapped, let's look for ...... again"

"We can't delay any longer! Every second of delay will make Sister Ming more dangerous! Time is life!"

Wang Lanlan was resolute, snatched the mobile phone, and immediately called the police, and after connecting, she said urgently, "Hey, uncle policeman, I want to report the case." There is a beautiful sister who has disappeared in the Bohai Book City on Novel Street, and her phone is still turned off. According to my analysis, seven or eight times out of ten were kidnapped by people from the Goddess Book Society......"

"Ah Xing!"

Wang Lanlan had just said halfway through the call to the police, when a sweet voice came, Liu Xing turned his head and saw a young woman in white casual clothes walking briskly, it was Liu Shiming.

Seeing that Liu Shiming came back suddenly, Wang Lanlan, who was calling the police, was also a little confused, her dark eyes rolled, and she hurriedly said into the phone: "Uh...... Uncle Policeman, there's something new...... The hostages have just returned, it's not a kidnapping, a false alarm, sorry, sorry...... I wish you a happy work, step by step, and have the opportunity to invite you to dinner...... Bye. ”

After hanging up the phone, Wang Lanlan wiped the fine sweat on her forehead with her small hands, glad that she reacted quickly, otherwise the police would be in trouble if they were dispatched. His eyes fluttered, he looked at Liu Shiming, his face showed doubts, and he secretly thought: Strange, according to my analysis, Sister Ming should have been kidnapped, why did she come back? Which link of the analysis was wrong? Let me think about it......

Liu Xing stepped forward: "Sister, where have you been?"

"I'm going to buy a book for you!"

"Buying books?"

"Well, aren't you going to buy a theory book on reading? I've bought you a copy. ”

After speaking, Liu Shiming handed over a beautifully packaged book, which was the eye-catching theory book that Liu Xing saw in the book signing hall of the book city before-"Doctor of Reading Teaches You How to Get into the Eye".

"You just went to the book signing site and queued up to buy the book?"

"Yes, there are quite a lot of people buying books today, and there is a queue for almost an hour. Liu Shiming rejoiced, "It's just dangerous, when I got to the queue, there were only seven copies of this book left, and if it was a little later, I wouldn't be able to buy it." ”

"Why are you turning off your phone?"

"Shut down? Oh, it's out of power......"

After listening, Liu Xing was a little speechless, his sister was really good, and she actually queued up for an hour to help him buy a book.

……

After this episode, the three of them walked together to the cashier counter of the book city to check out.

Liu Xing only bought a set of "Doctor of Reading Teaches You How to Get into the Eyes", and the price was 555 yuan.

In addition to buying "Tracking and Anti-Tracking Technology", Wang Lanlan also bought a one-star mystery novel "Invisible Crime" at a price of 1,000 yuan.

"Wang Lanlan, lend me your mystery novel to read. ”

After settling the account, the three of them were about to walk out of the book city together, and Liu Xing suddenly said.

He didn't really want to read mystery novels, he just wanted to test the compatibility of the novels and see if "Invisible Crimes" was suitable for him to read. If you have a good match, buy a copy yourself.

Wang Lanlan was also quite generous, and handed over the "Invisible Crime Record".

Unpacking the novel, Liu Xing quickly flipped through it, and a refreshing coolness slipped through his eyes.

Title: "Invisible Crimes"

Genre mystery fiction

Rank: None

……

"Strange, how can this "Invisible Crime Record" be graded?" Liu Xing wondered in his heart: Did you buy a fake book?

"Wang Lanlan, your "Invisible Crime" doesn't seem to be a star novel. ”

"How is it possible?" Wang Lanlan's eyes widened, and she quickly looked at the cover of the novel, "Isn't there a star mark on it, it should be a one-star novel." ”

Liu Xing couldn't say that he had a special ability in his eyes, so he had to make up a lie: "I seem to have read this book before, it's an ordinary novel." ”

"Won't it?"

Wang Lanlan didn't know the bottom of her heart, but she bought this book for 1,000 yuan, and out of caution, she decided to go to the service desk of the book city to consult, accompanied by Liu Xing and Liu Shiming.

Book City Information Desk.

"Sister waiter, this "Invisible Crime" was just bought in your bookstore, and there seems to be a problem with the quality. Wang Lanlan put the book on the service desk and said, "I heard that it doesn't seem to be a star novel, is it true?"

"I heard?" The waitress looked at the "Invisible Crime Record" and patiently explained: "Little sister, don't worry, the novels sold in our bookstore can't be fake." There is an anti-counterfeiting code on the cover of the novel, if you are still not at ease, just check it on the official website of the Huaxia National Book Testing Center. ”

"You can help me look it up. ”

"Okay, you wait a minute. ”

The waitress used the computer at the service desk to log in to the official website of the Huaxia Book Testing Center, and then scratched the anti-counterfeiting code on the cover of "Invisible Crime", and then entered it into the website for testing.

In a moment, a dialog box popped up on the web page:

"Sorry, the book security code you entered does not exist!"

Looking at the dialog box that popped up on the computer screen, the waitress was also stunned for a moment, the situation was completely beyond her expectations.

The waitress entered the anti-counterfeiting code of the novel twice in a row, but the same dialog box popped up. If the novel is genuine, then the anti-counterfeiting code should be able to pass the verification of the official website of the Huaxia National Book Testing Center.

"Little sister, I'm sorry, there's something wrong with this novel, can you wait a minute?" the waitress realized that the situation was wrong, and said apologetically, "I'll go and ask the manager of our bookstore." ”

Wang Lanlan nodded.

After that, the waitress hurried away and ran briskly towards the manager's office in the book city.

Liu Xing and the other three waited patiently at the service desk, and a few minutes later, a man's voice scolding came from the direction of the book city office.

"You go and call me immediately to Lao Li from the purchasing department of the book city and ask him where these books came from!"

"Good manager. ”

After a while, I saw a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes walking out of the office and rushing in the direction of Liu Xing.

"Hello, I'm the manager of the book city. As soon as they met, the manager of the book city said, "I'm really sorry, there were some problems with the "Invisible Crime" you just purchased, and I apologize to you again on behalf of the book city." ”

Liu Xing asked, "What should I do with this novel now?"

The manager of the book city said: "Don't worry, this is our book city's mistake, and we will definitely give you a reasonable explanation." Well, I'll give you two compensation packages. In the first plan, you can choose a one-star novel in Bohai Book City, and in the second plan, the book city will compensate you with 10,000 yuan in cash. Which option do you think is right for you?"

"Invisible Crime" was bought by Wang Lanlan, and Liu Xing asked for her opinion.

Wang Lanlan's eyes rolled twice, as if she was thinking, and finally made what she thought was a wise choice: "I choose cash." ”

The book manager nodded and said, "Okay, I'll immediately ask the staff to give you the compensation amount." I'm sorry for the trouble. ”

A few minutes later, 10,000 yuan was delivered to Wang Lanlan.

After paying the compensation, the manager of the book city pulled Wang Lanlan aside and whispered to her, the general content of which was to hope that Wang Lanlan would not publicize the fake books she bought in the book city today.

Huaxia has strict regulations on the sale of books, and the sale of counterfeit books, banned books, pirated books, etc., will be severely punished by relevant laws.

Today, Wang Lanlan bought a fake book in the book city, this matter is not big, but it is not small, and the manager of the book city naturally hopes that the big things will be small, and the small things will be nothing.

Seeing that the attitude of the manager of the book city was quite sincere, he apologized repeatedly and paid compensation, Wang Lanlan felt that he had nothing to lose anyway, so he did not pursue it further.

A few minutes later, she walked out of Bohai Book City with Liu Xing and Liu Shiming.

When she returned to Novel Street, Wang Lanlan picked up the money that had just been compensated by the Book City with her small hand and asked, "Liu Xing, how to divide the 10,000 yuan?"

"What?"

"Just now you helped me find out that "Invisible Crime" is a fake book, and the 10,000 yuan should have your share. Wang Lanlan proposed, "Why don't we divide it into five or five, divide 5,000 yuan for you, and keep 5,000 yuan for myself." ”

"No, no, it's not fair to you, I think it's still four or six points!" Liu Xing proposed another set of distribution plans, "I'm six, you are four." ”

"......" Wang Lanlan raised her eyebrows, "Why isn't it me six, you four?"

"Don't you think I played a decisive role in this incident?"

Wang Lanlan thought about it and felt that it seemed reasonable, if Liu Xing hadn't discovered that there was a problem with the book in time, she might have been kept in the dark.

"Okay, I'll give you 6,000 yuan. Wang Lanlan handed the money to Liu Xing, "Liu Xing, what is the content of that "Invisible Crime Record"?"

"How do I know?"

"Haven't you seen it?"

"Uh...... Forgot about ......."
