Chapter 17: Praying Mantis

Since the case of the International Trade Department Store, a group called the "Rat God Support Association" has appeared in forums large and small in Hedao.

Originally, it is normal for this kind of public event to cause good people to make a big fuss, and it is a very good method for multimedia people to use the psychology of public gossip to achieve some private interests. But what's not normal about this is that the group appeared too suddenly.

It's as if it was designed a long time ago.

This attracted Shi Luo's attention, and after a casual check, he found that the founder of this group was Guo Wan, the victim of the International Trade Department Store case.

There is nothing wrong with the victim taking advantage of his identity to set up a fan club online to support those who have reached out to him. But Shi Luo's experience in handling cases tells him that behind the more logical things are, there are often overlooked insiders.

What is the purpose of this group's formation? Was it for personal reasons, or was it done at the behest of the rats? Shi Luo thought of a possibility, and compared to this possibility, one or two famous paintings were stolen, and it was not even worth investigating.

As a result, Shi Luo decided to conduct a further investigation into Guo Wan.

However, it may be difficult to get the approval of superiors in the procedures of over-pestering the victims, not to mention that the current leader of the task force is the old man who is about to retire.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianxiong's annoying face appeared in Shi Luo's mind: "If it weren't for this guy making a hindrance......

But this did not stump Shi Luo, since the procedure did not allow it, then the investigation was carried out behind the scenes. After all, although nominally all his actions need to be reported to Ravenson, in fact, the leadership has also given him enough rights to investigate independently.

Soon, Shi Luo rented a suite in the opposite building of Guo Wan's residence, and he had a hunch that this case would eventually need to use this local method to gain results.

Guo Wan's daughter was taken back to her hometown by her maternal grandparents the day after the incident. Judging from the contact with Guo Wan in the ward that day, her concern for her daughter is indeed out of true feelings, and this kind of family affection cannot be disguised by acting skills.

When such a thing happened, she even sent her daughter away as soon as possible, but after Guo Wan quit her job, she chose to stay in Hedao. This point produced a great sense of contrast after Shi Luo had an in-depth understanding of Guo Wan. Why did she not hesitate to do this, but also to stay in this place of right and wrong? Is there something you have to do?

Combined with the sudden appearance of the "Rat God Support Association", Shi Luo instinctively trembled. His sixth sense has always been accurate, which is a very dangerous sign.

Shi Luo monitored day and night, and even set up a 24-hour surveillance video recorder at the monitoring point to observe Guo Wan's every move on his behalf when he had to leave the monitoring point.

Even if this is achieved, there is still nothing to benefit the investigation of the case. Since returning home, Guo Wan has almost always stayed in her room except for going out to buy necessary daily necessities, except for one time, she organized an offline gathering of the Rat God Support Association, but in Shi Luo's opinion, it was just an ordinary netizen meeting - although it can be regarded as a great achievement to bring together so many unknown netizens at one time.

Today, Guo Wan went out a little earlier than before.

Shi Luo thought that she would come back from the supermarket in half an hour, as she had done a few times before.

However, today is different.

Shi Luo noticed that Guo Wan's makeup had changed subtly compared to usual.

"Is the color of the lipstick changed...... Actually, Shi Luo doesn't know anything about cosmetics, but he is very sensitive to color changes.

"Although it is only a very slight change, even the temperament has changed, no wonder women like this kind of thing." Shi Luo hid behind the monitor and muttered to himself.

Is it to meet someone dressed like this? Shi Luo couldn't help but have such thoughts in his heart.

All of Guo Wan's information was lying flat on Shi Luo's desktop at this time: in order to marry her boyfriend, she dropped out of college before finishing it; gave birth to a daughter after marriage; A few years later, because of the other party's cheating, the two broke up; Although the man was at fault, he did not ask for anything but custody of his daughter at the time of divorce. These things that happened to this 26-year-old woman can already make people sigh that they have a lot of experience. But after digging deeper, Shi Luo found that Guo Wan was far more than what seemed to him.

Before the case of China World Trade Department Store, she had been working in research and development at a small Internet company, and although there were not many female programmers on the market, it was not uncommon. At the same time, Shi Luo discovered a report published by an unpopular magazine ten years ago, titled "Exclusive Exploration, the Chief Hacker Turned Out to Be a Mushroom Liang". It was an interview with a network security expert, and the protagonist of the interview was Guo Wan, who was only 16 years old at the time.

The magazine has a small circulation, but because of the high quality of its content, it is quite respected in the professional field.

Guo Wan's online name is "A Broken Bowl", and in order to verify the authenticity of the report, Shi Luo specially asked Wang Xueyue if she had heard of the deeds of "A Broken Bowl".

I got this reply: "I once challenged a broken bowl four times in a few years, and each time I was cleanly defeated. ”

What is revealed between the words is the worship of the strong.

At this time, Wang Xueyue was already the chief expert in Hedao network security, and it is conceivable how high Guo Wan's attainments in this field have been.

The reasons behind such a person's commitment to a small company are unknown.

Shi Luo then went to the company to learn about her interpersonal relationships, and found that she seemed to deliberately keep a distance from everyone, and after serving in the company for many years, she didn't even have a friend to eat with.

After Shi Luo learned this information, only two words came to his heart: "loneliness".

People who stand at the top are born lonely, and after being betrayed by life, they don't believe in people's hearts more and more, and want to find a corner of society to hide themselves, Shi Luo empathizes, because he occasionally has such thoughts.

Such a person suddenly established a club on the Internet, it must be because of some opportunity.

With a little reasoning, you can think that something must have happened in the time between Guo Wan's disappearance from the scene of the crime and her discovery.

As for what happened, if Guo Wan didn't want to say it, there was nothing he could do, unless he could have the ability to force people to speak.

"Who are you going to meet?" Shi Luo decided to follow Guo Wan and go to find out together.

Guo Wan seemed to be in a very good mood, completely unaware that she had been followed by someone since she walked out of the house.

Shi Luo watched her walk into a café.

"Could this be the place where the joints are?" Because Guo Wan was quite impressed when she was in the hospital, Shi Luo did not follow her in.

The person Guo Wan wanted to see hadn't come yet, and she was sitting alone by the window, looking a little nervous.

Shi Luo glanced around and there was a bus stop on the opposite side of the café, where there were many people waiting.

Shi Luo found a place to stand under the bus shelter, and this angle was just right to see Guo Wan.

There are several people waiting for the bus while playing with their mobile phones, and in today's society, nine out of ten people are playing with their mobile phones whenever they have time.

At this time, the bus came, and everyone put down their mobile phones and rushed on.

The bus blocked Shi Luo's view, and a young man almost slipped when he stepped into the car, shouting who was pushing him, causing a small commotion.

Shi Luo only hoped that the bus would leave quickly, but he was helpless when it came to such a thing.

The young man couldn't find the culprit and got into the car muttering, thankfully not causing a bigger commotion.

The unexpected episode caused Guo Wan to disappear from Shi Luo's sight for 3 minutes, until the bus left, Guo Wan was no longer in her original position.

Shi Luo silently said, "It's not good." ”

When I got closer, there was nothing left on the table except for a drink that had barely moved.

The indications showed that Guo Wan left in a hurry while she was blocked by the bus, even if tracking was not Shi Luo's best skill, but when did Guo Wan find out?

If it was really as she thought, Guo Wan came out today to meet the mouse, and chose the location by the window just because of a coincidence? Or did the rats do it?

Shi Luo returned to the bus stop and found that there were only a limited number of seats, just in time to see the seat where Guo Wan was originally located, and Shi Luo would stand here, like a designed script.

"Is this all within your expectations?" Shi Luo muttered to himself, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, and this time it is Shi Luo who loses.

Someone revealed to Guo Wan that she was being followed, and cooperated with the commotion of the bus and instructed her to leave, and even the commotion of the bus may have been deliberately arranged.

Other words.

"You were here just now, Mouse!"
