That afternoon, I went to a café as promised. Shi Xiaohui's cousin Gao Yang, www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion, had obviously seen me, and I came to greet me as soon as I entered the door.

Once seated, we ordered two cups of coffee and sat down. To be honest, Gao Yang is not bad-looking, but he has a capable short hair, and when he looks at it from a distance, he is a handsome guy. I was anxious to know about Xiaohong, so I spoke first: "Sister Gao, can we start?" ”

Gao Yang didn't have a trace of expression on his face, just nodded slightly and said, "Well, let's start then." How many photos do we take first? ”

According to Gao Yang's carefulness, when he took a few photos, Gao Yang took out a voice recorder, and then said, "Well, we record the interview, don't you mind?" ”

I nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Gao Yang took out a notebook, obviously a question prepared in advance. After opening it, Gao Yang asked, "Classmate Zhang Shiyi, what are your hobbies?" ”

"Read a book." I replied.

"What type of books are the mainly?" Gao Yang continued to ask.

"Well, it's mostly some books on history and traditional culture. I also read some novels once in a while. I replied.

… And just like that, half an hour later, the interview ended. Gao Yang only showed a smile at this time. I'm a little embarrassed, although I'm not a celebrity, but I'm still a little curious to see Gao Yang like this. I smiled and said, "Sister Gao, interviewing me isn't a chore, is it?" ”

"Hehe, I'm sorry. You are Xiaohui's classmate, so I naturally didn't show you a look. I just don't like to do interviews like that. Still, thank you for your cooperation. Gao Yang said.

Originally, I thought I was here to give Gao Yang face, but now it seems that Gao Yang has given me face. I laughed, "Actually, I'm not a big fan of interviews. ”

"Entrusted by men, loyal to people. The editor-in-chief asked me to come, and I can't help it. It's you, you haven't been interviewed since you returned to China, this time Xiaohui spoke, and you agreed, are you a little interesting to Xiaohui? Gao Yang asked.

I didn't answer, just smiled.

"It's good to be young, when I was young, I wanted to be a journalist, and now I have done it, but I don't feel happy at all." Gao Yang sighed.

Originally, I wanted to ask Xiaohong about it, but when Gao Yang said this, I didn't know how to speak. I nodded and said, "Sister Gao, why?" ”

"There are many kinds of journalists, and I'm not an ordinary reporter, but an investigative reporter." Gao Yang said.

"Investigative journalists?" I asked.

"Well, it's the reporter who investigates the facts. It can also be said to be another form of detective. Interviewing you now is a reporter. It's far from my ideals. Gao Yang said.

"Oh, I see." I nodded. It can be seen that there is a trace of helplessness in Gao Yang's eyes.

"Actually, when I was an intern, one of my seniors was an investigative journalist, and he was my idol. Together, we investigate the disappearance of a schoolgirl. But later, in addition to the car accident, the investigation was suspended. He was forced to resign, and I, somewhat related, did not leave the job, but was transferred to the interview department. After that, I don't want to toss anymore. Hi, what's the use of telling you this? Gao Yang said.

"The case of the disappearance of a schoolgirl?" I was a little surprised, could it be such a coincidence?

"Well, it really has something to do with you, the missing female student is from your school. However, that was three years ago, when you were a junior high school student. Gao Yang said.

And so it was. Is it really a hidden arrangement? actually let me meet Gao Yang. I asked tentatively, "Sister Gao, can you tell me about the disappearance?" ”

"Are you interested?" Gao Yang asked.

I didn't want to reveal my identity, so I made up a reason and said, "Well, I started an incredible club with a few classmates, and the disappearance case you mentioned was the topic of our latest issue. So I'd like to find out. ”

"In this way, this case is a bit complicated." Gao Yang is embarrassed.

It can be seen that Gao Yang still has some concerns, and I continued: "Sister Gao, we are just discussing in private and will not do anything else. So you can rest assured, there will be no problems. ”

"Well, that shouldn't be fine. You should hear a story. I'm going to tell you a story. That's your reward for accepting my interview. Gao Yang said.

"Well, thank you, Sister Gao." I nodded.

"This case was also quite a stir at the time. Most of the situation in the early stage has been reported by major media. However, three days after the incident, the major media suddenly collectively handled the case coldly. I thought it was strange with the senior at the time, so I launched an independent investigation. I learned about some of the situation and planned to do a long-term follow-up report. However, when the first issue of the report came out, he had a car accident. Afterwards, he left his job. Privately, though, he told me to leave the case alone. Gao Yang said.

"Exactly, what did you find?" I asked.

Gao Yang subconsciously looked around, and then said in a low voice: "This is not a missing case, moreover, it is likely to be a serial murder case, the murderer's methods are brutal, and the background is very deep." ”

"Serial homicides?" My eyes widened, trying to suppress the surprise in my heart.

"There are a lot of missing persons cases every year, and many of them seem to be unrelated, but a careful analysis shows that there are still a lot of connections. According to our investigations, seven disappearances have been linked in at least 10 years. The missing were all seventeen or eighteen-year-old schoolgirls. And it's all without warning, and it's not going to happen afterwards. ”

Investigation is to make bold assumptions and carefully corroborate. Looking at Gao Yang's appearance, it is obvious that this conclusion has a certain factual basis. I pretended to be curious and asked, "Sister Gao, did you find out any evidence?" ”

"There's a tape, but I haven't seen it. As for whether it is still there, it is difficult to say. Gao Yang said.

I didn't continue to ask, because Gao Yang had already gotten up to pay.

I nodded and said, "Thank you, Sister Gao." ”

"Well, that's it for the story. The next, I don't know, I know and can't say. Xiaohui said that you also have a bit of background in your family, but I'm afraid it's not enough. So, keep your curiosity in moderation. Next time, let's change the topic of discussion, such as UFOs, Mayan civilization, etc. This kind of case involving real society is not suitable. Gao Yang said.

Since Gao Yang said so, I also know that it is useless to ask any more. It seems that the next step is to find the investigative journalist who may have mastered the tape. As for his contact details, this one is not difficult.

If the Miscellaneous Affairs Department of the National Security Bureau is a department that is always available and can assist in everything, then the police station is the distribution center of all kinds of gossip. Looks like I'm going to have to ask Director Wen for a favor. (To be continued.) )
