Late at night.

The bedroom on the second floor was lit up with white lights, and Yuxin was sitting in front of her laptop in a pair of light blue pajamas, dealing with the financial affairs of Bohai Book City.

Yuxin is now the deputy general manager of Bohai Book City, and is also responsible for the finance of the entire book city. In the past year, a fraction of the several star novels born in the Cup Contest were sold by Bohai Book City, which increased the turnover of the book city by more than ten times.

The funds flowing through Yuxin's hands every month are more than 80 million yuan, almost 1 billion a year. If someone else is responsible for such a large amount of money, Liu Xing is really not at ease, so he hands it all over to Yuxin to manage.

 +++m;In addition to being responsible for the finances of Bohai Book City, Yuxin is basically in charge of the finances of Meteor Book Bar, and at the same time, she is also responsible for the operation of the competition funds.

In view of Yuxin's outstanding work ability, two months ago, she was promoted to the committee of Novel Street, mainly responsible for the finance and marketing of Novel Street.

Recently, the sales of dark shadow novels have been extremely hot, and there are a lot of things that need to be busy, and Yuxin often has to work overtime at night.

"Whew-"

Stretching her waist, Yuxin let out a long sigh of relief, and finally finished her work.

Holding her snow-white chin lightly in both hands, her eyes fell on a pink purse on the table, which contained a few tulip petals that had been given to her by the Black Shadow Man in Huashan last year.

Several different tulip petals are mixed together to form a unique aroma of tulips, which Yuxin loves so much that she puts her purse on her desk in her bedroom and sleeps with it every night.

A little hand stretches out. Yuxin picked up the purse, put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it gently. Liu Mei couldn't help frowning slightly.

The petals in the purse have been stored for more than a year, and the aroma of tulips is getting weaker and weaker. It's almost gone.

After realizing this problem, Yuxin inexplicably felt a little lost, bit her lower lip, and was stunned.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and the bedroom was as quiet as water.

Syllable!

Suddenly, a foreign object flew from the side and landed on the desk in front of him, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be a golden purse.

When the purse falls. A familiar smell of tulips immediately filled the air......

Yuxin picked up the golden purse and smelled it gently, and the fragrance really emanated from the purse.

"Where did this purse come from?"

Yuxin turned her head to look, only to find that there was actually a man in black sitting in the bedroom window, wrapped in black cloth. After a brief moment of trance, she realized that it was the Shadow Man who had appeared.

Standing up, Yuxin walked to the window and asked softly, "When did you come?"

"Just arrived. Liu Xing replied.

Yuxin took the golden purse and asked, "Is this purse a gift for me?"

Liu Xing nodded.

Yuxin was curious: "Why did you suddenly give me a gift?"

Liu Xing got straight to the point: "I want to ask you for help with something." ”

"Are you kidding?" said Yuxin. "You dark shadow man has great powers, how can I help you with a weak girl?"

"The ruler is short, and the inch is long. Even the petals of tulips have irreplaceable value. Liu Xing teased, "No matter what." You're a little stronger than a petal, aren't you?"

Yuxin covered her mouth and smiled, and asked strangely, "Tell me, what do you want me to help with?"

"Recently, beautiful women have disappeared in several cities in the east. The number of missing people has reached 105, and they should have been kidnapped. Liu Xing said. "In order to find these kidnappers, I want you to act as bait. Attract kidnappings to show up. ”

Yuxin immediately understood: "Why did you choose me?"

"The 105 women who were kidnapped have many characteristics in common, such as being good-looking, being a professional woman, being well-known, etc., and you fit those characteristics perfectly. Liu Xing said, "If you agree to be a bait, I will secretly protect you and ensure your personal safety." ”

Yuxin thought for a moment: "Is there really no danger?"

Liu Xingdao: "Don't worry, if you really have any strengths and weaknesses, I will be responsible for you." ”

Yuxin smiled lightly and thought for a while: "What should I do?"

"You will go to Qingxi City tomorrow......"

Based on the kidnappings that have taken place in recent days, the city where the kidnappers committed each crime is different. After committing a crime in one city, the next day it will definitely be committed in another city. It is precisely because the kidnappers always shoot a shot to change places that it is greatly difficult for the police to track down.

So far, there have been four cities where beautiful women have gone missing, and the fifth disappearance should appear in the fifth.

According to the information available to the police, there are more than a dozen cities that may be the location of the kidnappers, and Qingxi City is one of them.

……

Early the next morning, Yuxin left Tianhai City in her sports car and went to Qingxi City alone.

Qingxi City is only 200 kilometers away from Tianhai City, and it was successfully arrived at noon.

In the afternoon of the same day, Yuxin opened a large bookstore in the commercial street of Qingxi City as a member of the Novel Street Committee, and was interviewed by a local TV station. In the evening, she attended a dinner held by the Qingxi Booksellers Association and tossed until late at night.

Twelve o'clock in the night.

On a deserted street in Qingxi City, Yuxin, dressed in professional clothes, walked alone.

According to police information, more than half of the 105 beauties who were kidnapped were strong women. Yuxin attended a business event today and gave a TV interview, and if the kidnappers are in Qingxi City, then the probability of her being targeted is very high.

Yuxin came out to be a bait tonight, and the first time she did this kind of thing, she was originally a little nervous, but she thought that the black shadow man would secretly protect her, so she settled down.

The streets were empty at midnight, and Yuxin walked around for more than half an hour, but nothing happened.

"Why hasn't the kidnappers shown up yet?"

Yuxin thought to herself as she looked around for traces of the kidnappers.

Suddenly, at the mouth of an alleyway in front of me, a white figure appeared, a young woman dressed in white.

Yuxin carefully distinguished, and unexpectedly found that the woman in white was actually an acquaintance, it was Hua Yingxue.

Hua Yingxue once went to the Meteor Book Bar to sign up for the Black Shadow Man Cup Competition. Yuxin had met her.

"Yingxue, what a coincidence!" Yuxin wondered.

The two finished greeting. Hua Yingxue stepped forward and reminded in a low voice: "Yuxin." Recently, beautiful women have disappeared in many cities, and it is even more dangerous for you to walk on the streets in the middle of the night. ”

Yuxin was puzzled: "In that case, why are you here?"

Hua Yingxue said: "I'm here to investigate this disappearance. ”

"Investigating the case?" Yuxin was a little confused, "Aren't you a writer, why are you in charge of investigating the case?"

Hua Yingxue explained: "In order to investigate the disappearance, the Lianhuashu Police Team needed the cooperation of a writer, so they found me......"

It turned out that Hua Yingxue's method of investigating the case was to write a novel.

The kidnapping case has left 105 women missing, and the police have so far been unable to find an effective way to solve the case. I don't know where the kidnappers will commit the next crime, and it is difficult to make progress with ordinary criminal investigation methods.

As a result, the Lihua Book Police Force is ready to adopt a special method to solve the case - writing mystery novels.

If the recent disappearance of a beautiful woman is written as a mystery novel, then the master can predict the future plot of the mystery novel through pre-reading, so as to judge the kidnapper's next crime plan, and even predict the kidnapper's final fate.

At that time, the police can plan ahead and hunt down the kidnappers based on these predicted information.

Of course, it's not just a mystery novel about the disappearance of a beautiful woman that can solve the case. A mystery novel that can be used to solve a crime needs to meet two requirements.

First, the novel should be in line with the facts of the disappearance of a beautiful woman. Second, the novel has a high level of creativity.

The higher the quality of the novel. The higher the accuracy of the pre-reading.

Hua Yingxue is one of the top ten writers in the novel competition, so the Lianhuashu Police Force invited Hua Yingxue to create this mystery novel.

In order to write, Hua Yingxue specially came to Qingxi City for a field trip. Collect more creative materials. In the past few days, she has been wandering around Qingxi City. Look for evidence of the kidnapper's crime.

"Yingxue, you are really bold enough. A girl came here on her own to investigate the case. ”

"I'm in touch with the police team at all times, and it's going to be fine. It's a pity that after tossing the day, the kidnappers have not appeared so far. Hua Yingxue turned her mouth and asked, "By the way, Yuxin, why are you also in Qingxi City?"

Yuxin said: "I just participated in a business event and was about to find a hotel to rest. ”

"There doesn't seem to be much of a hotel nearby. Hua Yingxue proposed, "If you don't dislike it, why don't you go to my rental house?"

"Is it convenient?"

"Nothing was inconvenient. My rental house is nearby, let's go. ”

So, the two walked together and left together.

Ten minutes later, they came to a residential area in Dongcheng District, Qingxi City, and lived in a rented house rented by Hua Yingxue.

The rental house is an ordinary private house, with one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom, and is fully furnished.

When they arrived at the rental house, after the two washed up, they sat at the head of the bed together and prepared to rest. Before resting, Hua Yingxue turned on her laptop and prepared to write her experience today into a mystery novel, the name of the novel is "The Disappearance of the Goddess of the Black Shadow Man".

This novel tells the story of the Shadow Man who solves the case of the disappearance of the goddess.

"Yingxue, can this mystery novel really solve the case?" asked Yuxin curiously.

"I don't know, this is a new mode of solving crimes, and it is in the stage of exploration. Hua Yingxue explained, "The captain of the Lianhuashu Police Team told me that if the novel is well written, the reading master can use pre-reading techniques to predict the subsequent plot of the novel. Therefore, I am only responsible for writing the novel, and I will leave the rest to the master of pre-reading. ”

After writing the novel, Hua Yingxue and Yuxin turned off the lights and rested.

Sou!

When the two beauties were asleep, a black shadow suddenly flew in from the window and landed gently.

After Yuxin came to Qingxi City, Liu Xing secretly protected and followed him to this rental house.

Liu Xing walked to the bedside, started Hua Yingxue's laptop, and opened the novel manuscript of "The Disappearance of the Goddess of the Black Shadow Man".

The manuscript has only written about 100,000 words in total, and Liu Xing pulled the manuscript from beginning to end and scanned it with his book.

Title] "The Disappearance of the Goddess of the Dark Shadow Man"

Genre] Non-fiction

Grade] star

Match] 21.5%

"Non-fiction?"

Liu Xing was a little surprised, Hua Yingxue's "The Disappearance of the Goddess of the Black Shadow Man" was originally positioned as a mystery novel, but her writing materials were provided by the book police team, and the novel was written very realistically, so it became a documentary novel.

Since it is a non-fiction novel, it means that the plot in the novel is consistent with the events of real life.

Whatever plot appears in the novel, similar events should occur in real life.

In this way, as long as you can predict the follow-up plot of "The Disappearance of the Goddess of the Black Shadow Man", it is equivalent to predicting the progress of the future case in real life.

This novel has only written a beginning at the moment, and it has not yet been written, and it takes a pre-reading technique to guess the subsequent plot.

Liu Xing didn't know how to pre-read, so he decided to ask Lin Shushu, who was proficient in pre-reading, to help.

Through the computer network, Liu Xing sent the manuscript of "The Disappearance of the Goddess of the Black Shadow Man" to Lin Story.

After receiving the manuscript, Lin read it immediately and guessed the plot of the novel with pre-reading.

An hour later.

Lin Shushu got in touch with Liu Xing.

"Black Shadow Brothers, I've read all the updated chapters of the novel "The Disappearance of the Goddess of the Black Shadow Man". "Based on the analysis of the current plot of the novel, I think the kidnappers should appear in Qingxi City. ”

Liu Xing asked, "When will it appear?"

"The current word count of the novel is low, the information is limited, and I can't estimate the time for the time being. "I can only predict that the kidnappers will appear soon, and the location should have something to do with music." ”

"Music?

"In the novel "The Disappearance of the Goddess of the Black Shadow Man", Hua Yingxue is an important female character who plays an important role in the plot of the novel. "Hua Yingxue is a person who likes music, and based on my intuition from reading mystery novels for many years, I think kidnappers will also appear in music-related locations. For example, concert halls, bars, etc., you can keep an eye out for these places. ”

Liu Xing asked: "However, the kidnappers committed crimes and Hua Yingxue liked music, and there seemed to be no logical relationship between the two before?"

Lin Shushu said with a smile: "The pre-reading technique is not based on logic, otherwise, it would be no different from ordinary criminal investigation methods." Pre-reading is a kind of non-logical intuition formed by the reader after reading a large amount of information, this intuition is a kind of perceptual prediction of comprehensive information, it has no process of analysis, only results, similar to the 'inspiration' in creation. ”

After a pause, Lin continued, "I just read 'The Disappearance of the Goddess of the Dark Shadow Man' over and over again with pre-reading, and my intuition tells me that the kidnappers are most likely to show up in a concert hall or bar. You can let Yuxin and Hua Yingxue go to the nearby concert hall or bar tomorrow, the possibility of kidnappers appearing is very high. ”

Liu Xing confirmed: "How accurate is your prediction?"

Lin thought for a while: "About 70%." He added, "If the novel had a little more word count, my predictions would have been more accurate." ”

“70%？”

As long as you go to the concert halls and bars near Cheonggye City, there is a 70% chance of catching the kidnappers, which is undoubtedly worth trying.

After all, the police have not made any progress on the kidnapping case so far.

"Go to the bar tomorrow. Liu Xing made an impromptu decision.
