When An Xiaoyu arrived at the scene, the garrison had quietly sealed off the residence.

The place where the author of the post on the site lives is a single-person apartment rental house. In the imperial capital, there are many such rental houses for singles, which are of good quality and low price. After all, in a place like the imperial capital, where every inch of land is valuable, wanting a house like a two-bedroom and two-living room is hemorrhagic for many people.

According to the investigation of the garrison, the anonymous user's name is Lu Jing, 32 years old, and he is a professional online literature creator. Land Whale has multiple vests, often mixed with various supernatural websites, and the supernatural works created are mostly based on reality.

However, in this world, there are not many audiences for supernatural novels, and the thinking of the technological society has been deeply endured for thousands of years, which can be regarded as a niche genre. Therefore, land whales often need to create different stories on various websites to earn extra money, and this internal registration site is also one of them.

"No wonder the story is so rigorous, it turns out to be professional." An Xiaoyu said: "Where did you find all this? ”

He Dong went to explain: "After discovering that Lu Whale was dead, we investigated Lu Whale's account, and then found all kinds of income linked to him with royalties, and then followed the latest money messages to the bank, and then found the operator of the land whale signing website, and obtained Lu Whale's information from them. ”

"This land whale has no other relatives?" Ann asked quietly.

"Lu Jing is a foreigner, and he is an orphan registered in the household registration system, and he dropped out of school before he even finished college because he had no money. In fact, it is also very easy to understand, Lu Whale's creative history has been more than ten years, and he has been writing online articles since he was eighteen years old, which is also very understandable. ”

An Xiaoyu nodded, and looked at Lu Whale who was lying on the table in the living room, the blood stains on the table and on the ground had solidified, and the whole scene was exceptionally clean except for the blood stains, without any traces of fighting. A knife stuck in his carotid artery was the only fatal wound.

"It seems that the one who started it is also a master."

He Dong agreed: "It's a master, one hit kills, but it's an experienced way." We found no other footprints or traces of forced entry, and the weapon used was a fruit knife taken from the victim's room, with a number that could be used to identify the purchase of the whale, and no fingerprints of anyone else were found on the knife. ”

"It's probably already certain that the killing of the land whale must be related to the article published in the early morning. The murderer must have something to do with Lu Whale and yesterday's incident, so where did Lu Whale get that inside information? An Xiaoyu was suddenly curious.

"We also thought that it might have something to do with the information provided, so we did a survey with all the operators of the websites that trade with land whales, and it turned out that land whales seem to have their own information networks. There is no way to determine the source of the inside information that he wrote into the story. ”

"Isn't it in the contact record either?"

He Donggo said helplessly: "This person is simply obsessive-compulsive, all the contact records have been deleted, and the deletion is clean, and we have no way to restore this deletion." ”

An Xiaoyu listened to He Dong's words, and also knew that this clue was temporarily broken, and could only be considered from other directions. She walked around the table, surveyed the land whale's body, and then estimated the death event based on his soul escape, and suddenly felt strange.

"When did the land whale die, you say?" An Xiaoyu turned her head and asked.

He Dong was stunned for a moment, but immediately said: "Around 4:15 in the morning, an hour after that post was published. ”

An Xiaoyu shook his head suddenly: "The corpse has used means, and it is a very clever means, using the law of life, to postpone the time of death." ”

Hearing An Xiaoyu's words, He Donggo immediately frowned and began to ponder.

An Xiaoyu took another look at Lu Whale's light brain, and found that the on/off record on the light brain clearly said that at three o'clock in the morning today, Lu Whale turned off the light brain, and never opened it again except for the records checked by the security team.

The detection system and password lock that come with the light brain are all connected to the main server of the light brain company, and there is no way to delete it from the terminal, so after Lu Whale posted at three o'clock and turned it off, no one opened the light brain again. There was a bucket of instant noodles on the table, indicating that Lu Whale had gone to eat after posting.

But the strange thing is that the degree of divergence of Lu Whale's soul proves that his death happened at three o'clock in the morning, at the moment of posting. In other words, before the light brain was turned off and the instant noodles were made, Lu Jing himself was already dead, and the one who did these things was simply another person.

"The murderer must have an intention to do this kind of thing." An Xiaoyu and He Donggo were both aware of this problem, and He Dong went to say: "The murderer covered up the real killing time is to clear up his relationship with that article, is it possible, the murderer is the one who provided the inside story to Lu Whale?" ”

"And more than that, if it's just to provide the inside story, there's no need to kill at all. There is nothing in those insiders, even if they are found out, as long as they find an excuse and insist on it, it is not even a crime, so why kill people? An Xiaoyu definitely had other purposes for the other party.

"It seems that the news of the birth of this so-called treasure is not what Lu Whale himself wants to release." He Dong went to think of this: "If the murderer closed the light brain and disguised the crime scene, does it mean that the article is simply what the murderer wants Lu Whale to publish?" ”

"Most likely, the murderer came to Lu Whale's room, watched him finish writing what he wanted, and then coerced him to post the content on the website, using the website to promote what he wanted to promote. Then run out of land whales and kill people! ”

After finishing speaking, An Xiaoyu and He Dong glanced at each other, feeling that it was very possible.

Although An Xiaoyu is not a professional and has never solved a case, she immediately brought herself into the identity of the murderer, and said while thinking: "If this is the case, there will definitely be factors related to the murderer in this article." Because since the murderer killed people, it must be because of his face or the things he took out that his identity can be investigated, or Lu Whale knows who he really is. This man wants to erase the clues, which means that this person must have appeared in the vicinity of our battle last night! ”

"Someone! Immediately investigate the surveillance footage near last night's battle in the southeast city, look for anyone who showed up next to you, and find out who is suspicious! Especially those who have camera equipment in hand, or who stay nearby for a long time, especially those who have cultivation on them! He Dong immediately called his subordinates and commanded.

An Xiaoyu nodded: "It is estimated that it will not be investigated, since the other party can use the law, it means that the other party is at least a spirit master, if he himself is the person of origin, then there is no way to find clues." The content recorded in this article is obviously to spread the news of the birth of the Arcana, and it has succeeded. ”

"But why would Origin do this?" He Dong was puzzled: "Didn't the origin want to find the so-called treasure by himself?" Now the whole world knows what good it would do if someone else found it? ”

An Xiaoyu thought for a while and said, "There are two possibilities. One is that the origin wants to take the opportunity to disturb the troubled waters of the imperial capital, the so-called treasures or something, are also a disguise, and their real purpose is to do other things. The second possibility is that the treasure really exists, but only they can distinguish it, and others can't find it even if they look for it, so they want to use these people to make the garrison scramble and act while they are in chaos. ”

"So we should block the news now?"

"Blocking the news now?" An Xiaoyu smiled bitterly: "It can't be blocked at all, I'm afraid that someone is already preparing to find the treasure now, right?" And it says conclusively which research institute has heard voices in the vicinity, and on which street have you seen the little man of light and shadow......"

"Looks like I won't be able to rest again tonight." He Dong also said helplessly.

"Our soldiers are divided into two ways, I will deal with the people of Origin, you will lead people to deal with those ordinary citizens who are looking for treasures, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be-stirring sticks sent by Origin among these people. After the wheel king was scared away by me, it shouldn't appear again for a short time, and tonight's action should be simpler. The key is ......"

"The key is the one that Origin is looking for." He Dong also understood.

"Origin apparently had a clear goal for the operation last night, and there was this backhand immediately after the failure of the operation, and they must already know where that thing was. If they can't figure it out tonight, I'm afraid they'll disappear without a trace as soon as they succeed. ”

Both men began to realize the seriousness of the matter.

If the serial murders before the Origin were all to cover up the clues of the Arcana, including the body found in the Three Thousand Academy, it may also be to warn someone in the know. The security team has openly suspended the investigation of this case, and if the origin is allowed to successfully get something and slip away, it will undoubtedly turn this case into an unsolved case.

This is the first battle that the garrison is going to fight, and even at the expense of cooperating with the trajectory and the Four Lives Alliance, a large amount of foreign aid has been introduced, and if the nest cannot come up with enough evidence to solve the case, the prestige of the garrison will plummet from now on, and I am afraid that there will be no chance to turn over.

An Xiaoyu thought for a while and said: "I will keep an eye on the people of the origin, if I find a large number of people moving, I will let people go over to obstruct it, and when the time comes, I hope that the people of the Four Lives Alliance can also listen to my dispatch." ”

He Donggo immediately agreed: "Yes, we can solve it by ourselves on the side of ordinary people, and the masters of the Four Lives Alliance will act together against the origin, and they must not let their conspiracy succeed!" ”

After discussing it, An Xiaoyu and He Dong went separately.

Now there is still half a day before the evening, He Dong has to make some preparations, and An Xiaoyu has to go home to cook. No matter what happens, going home to cook has become An Xiaoyu's daily routine, anyway, no matter where it is, going home is just a blink of an eye.

During the lunch meal, Xiao An secretly glanced at An Xiaoyu several times, and he didn't have any good intentions at a sneaky glance.

After eating, Xiao An excused himself to help wash the dishes, pushed his mother out of the kitchen, and then stood next to the sink and rolled up his sleeves and began to work.

An Xiaoyu watched her mother leave and went to the living room, and then said, "Say, what do you want to do?" ”

Xiao An already knew that he was seen through by An Xiaoyu, so he smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing, I just want to ......"

"Want to find Arcana?" Ann asked quietly.

"Sister! You got it? Xiao An suddenly became excited.

An Xiaoyu washed a plate and put it on the dish rack next to it: "Who else doesn't know about the Three Thousand Academy now?" I'm afraid there are few people in the entire imperial capital who don't know. Let me ask you first, what do you think about Arcana Treasure? ”

Xiao An said: "The treasure is the treasure? It must be a good thing, if it can either sell for a lot of money, it can improve its cultivation! ”

An Xiaoyu shook her head with a smile, and then asked, "Su Che and Bai Di think the same thing?" ”

Su Che said that there must be something hidden in this matter. Bai Di didn't speak, I think Su Che was thinking too complicated, so many people in the entire imperial capital have to go to find the treasure, the big deal is to be a fool? What else could there be hidden? What's in it for them to scam so many people? ”

"It's not that Su Che thinks too complicated, it's that you think too simply. The person who spread the news is lying to you, and if nothing else is involved, it is just to make you fool. But have you ever thought that someone would use you to interfere with other people? Like me, like the garrison. ”

Xiao An was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "I didn't think about it...... It's true? ”

An Xiaoyu nodded: "Really, this matter was made by the origin, the imperial capital may be in danger tonight, you go in the afternoon to tell your classmates not to go out at night, especially after eleven o'clock, the origin is used to acting after this time." And you also reminded me that I have to be notified by all parties in the school. ”

As she spoke, An Xiaoyu turned off the faucet, wiped her hands, and then turned around and walked out of the kitchen. Xiao An was a little frustrated, and wiped the last bowl and put it next to him.

He didn't think An Xiaoyu was wrong, and Xiao An chose to believe what An Xiaoyu said. He just felt that it was a pity that he had a good chance to have fun, and that he was corrupted because of the origin. The origin is also too hateful!

Thinking indignantly, Xiao An returned to the room, and immediately sent a message to Su Che and Bai Di, telling them what An Xiaoyu said, and also sent a message in this year's mecha group. Suddenly, the whole group was fried, and what An Xiaoyu said was still very prestigious.

Although these freshmen who have just entered the school have not experienced many feats of An Xiaoyu, from the Internet, from the mouths of other students of the Three Thousand Academy, and from the mouths of those seniors during military training, they have also heard a lot of legends of An Xiaoyu, and there is still awe in their hearts.

An Xiaoyuhe found Xu Hewei and Yu Mengpu and them, and asked them to spread such news within the Self-cultivation Association. Then she turned around and went to find Zuoqiu Zhizuo, and asked the school official to refute the rumors, explaining that the rumors of the treasure were just rumors, and the students should not go out to hunt for treasures at night.

After discussing these, it was probably time for class, An Xiaoyu came out of Zuo Qiu's office and slowly walked towards the teaching building of the mecha department. As a result, as soon as I arrived at the door of the building, I saw Xiao An and the three of them standing at the door of the building angrily, and there was a strong man opposite.

After walking into An Xiaoyu, he reacted, this black strong man should be the "very righteous" Fu Mengyu that Xiao An told him before, he does look honest and simple, but An Xiaoyu no longer has the habit of judging people by their appearance.

walked up to them, An Xiaoyu asked, "What's wrong, Xiao An?" ”

"Sister!" Xiao An called out in surprise.

Su Che and Bai Di also respectfully called "Sister An", Fu Mengyu turned his head, and when he saw An Xiaoyu coming over, he immediately felt like he had seen a savior, and said, "Sister An!" There you are! Look! Look at this! They're just too much! ”

An Xiaoyu looked at the video on Fu Mengyu's terminal and found that it was a video from the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, which seemed to be a small video taken by Fu Mengyu while walking on the street. The scenery on the screen goes from the outskirts of the square all the way in, and there are many stalls.

Then, it came to the most critical time.

"Collapsed! Collapsed! Get out of the way! ”

There was a noise, the model of the Mecha Club collapsed, everyone in the video was fleeing in all directions, and the escort team began to rush to the booth of the Mecha Club. The video stops abruptly here, as the guards are no longer allowed to take pictures.

But An Xiaoyu immediately realized that something seemed to be wrong, and stretched out his hand to swipe the video back to the minute before the mecha model collapsed, and looked at the picture on the video seriously. Suddenly, her eyes sharpened, and she pointed her finger at the video, pausing it in one frame.

I pulled it with my hand, and a certain piece of the picture was suddenly enlarged, and it was the back of the mecha model before it collapsed, and a person was peeking at the person next to him, reaching out and taking a part from the model behind the mecha, which seemed to be premeditated.

"You took it?" An Xiaoyu asked with a cold face.

Fu Mengyu nodded and said: "I took it, I was next to me at the time, I didn't notice this person at first, but I only found it when I rewatched it last night!" ”

"Do you recognize this person?" An Xiaoyu asked again.

Fu Mengyu, Su Che and Bai Di all shook their heads, and Xiao An said angrily: "I haven't offended anyone, why does anyone want to harm me!" It's so hateful! ”

Bai Di gave him a roll of his eyes: "What didn't offend anyone, you offended all the factions outside the Three Thousand Academy out of the Self-cultivation Society, didn't you make it?" ”

"How have I sinned against them? They have to come over to bother me......" Xiao An said and lost his confidence, thinking about it carefully, it seems that he has offended a lot of people.

An Xiaoyu shook her head: "It's okay if you choose to join one, but if you don't choose any of them, everyone won't accept it, I'm afraid you will do something that is not good for all of them." I know about this matter, don't put the video out first, I'll deal with it, understand? ”

Fu Mengyu immediately put the terminal in An Xiaoyu's hand.

"Got it!"
