Chapter 9 Exchange of Information
The next day, Xu Xiaolin, Wang Shen and Lin Su made an appointment at the "Zhile" café again. The café has an elegant atmosphere and the owner has a good taste for Western music. However, looking around the store, there don't seem to be many customers. Still in the corner, there were three steaming cups of coffee on the table.
"Why are you always here? Wouldn't it be better to go to the police station? Xu Xiaolin took out her notebook and pen from her bag, looked at Wang Shen and muttered.
"It doesn't matter, there's not a lot of people here, and there's no one around us, so it won't make a difference. I thought that such an environment might be more conducive to the imagination of professional writers. Wang Shen blew on the coffee in his hand, and answered Xu Xiaolin's question with a smile while drinking the coffee.
"Officer Wang is really thoughtful." Xu Xiaolin pouted, showing the appearance of some girls.
"Alright, let's get down to business, let's talk about what we've investigated." Lin Su didn't drink a sip of coffee in front of him, just held a notebook in his left hand and a pen in his right hand like Xu Xiaolin.
"It seems that Lin Da writer has a lot of nobles, and it is not interesting." Xu Xiaolin still had a smile on her face when she spoke, and after speaking, she took another sip of coffee, nodded slightly, and the expression on her face became serious. "Since the writer Lin is in such a hurry, okay, then let's start." Xu Xiaolin glanced at Lin Su, and then turned her gaze to Wang Shen.
"Don't look at me." Wang Shen laughed. "It's up to the two of you to exchange information today, and I'll be the clerk." After speaking, Wang Shen also took out a notebook and a pen from his pocket. The three of them sat opposite each other with a pen and a notebook in their hands at the same time, like a talk show without the interviewee.
"Okay, I'll start with the information we've gotten here. Han Mo called the 'spicy' restaurant to order food, and it was basically confirmed that it was his behavior. When the food delivery man Ah Cheng delivered the food, no one answered the door, and when he called Han Mo's phone, he heard Han Mo's mobile phone ringing in the house. And, when Ah Cheng was going downstairs, he bumped into the scar man 'Zheng Wu'. Han Mo is a long-time diner of 'Spicy' Restaurant, and we investigated her dining habits and found that the taste of the selected dishes for dine-in and takeaway is completely different. So we guessed that dine-in and take-out were two different people and Han Mo were eating. The person who eats in is called Xiao Lin. According to previous investigations and archives, Xiao Lin was Han Mo's assistant. Another person who ate takeout with Han Mo, to put it simply, was the person who appeared in Han Mo's house, and his identity could not be confirmed yet. ”
"He is worthy of being a great writer who writes suspense novels, with strict logic and clear organization." Wang Shen stopped the pen in his hand, gave Xu Xiaolin a thumbs up, and then lowered his head and began to record.
"Thank you!"
"If you look at these clues, Han Mo's case is really suspicious." Lin Su frowned, and also wrote down some of the information Xu Xiaolin said in his notebook.
"Yes, so I think it's wiser for us to re-investigate Han Mo's case." Xu Xiaolin nodded approvingly after listening to Lin Su's words.
"So you don't think Han Mo committed suicide?" Lin Su glanced at Xu Xiaolin suspiciously.
"At least that's what I think."
However, judging from Officer Wang's description, Lin Mo's house was a complete secret room. Even though we have all kinds of questions now, we still can't solve the secret room, and we still can't get to the bottom of the mystery. Lin Su said as he wrote the word riddle in his notebook, and underlined two underlines under these two words.
"That being said......" Xu Xiaolin paused. But we still have to do our best to find out the truth. As long as people commit crimes, I believe that there will be flaws. Isn't every one of our novels going according to this routine? Or does the writer still insist on the conclusion that Han Mo committed suicide? ”
"At the moment, I can't make any credible judgments. However, judging from what I investigated, the possibility of Han Mo's suicide is not zero. After speaking, Lin Su took the phone out of his pocket, found the photo album, and clicked on it. Look at these pictures. Lin Su handed the phone to Xu Xiaolin first.
The photo in the mobile phone is Han Mo's diary taken by Lin Su in the psychological clinic. Xu Xiaolin watched it for a few minutes, and the expression on her face gradually became solemn. "Look at it, it's pathetic." Xu Xiaolin handed the phone to Wang Shen again.
Although Wang Shen's face did not change much, from his slightly frowning brows, he could still find a deep regret hidden between his eyebrows.
"Han Mo's psychiatrist before his death was called Song Mu. According to him, Han Mo is a patient with moderate to severe depression. I suspect that the cause of Han Mo's depression is mainly her family environment. Of course, the main trauma is the sexual assault of the stepfather. ”
"Nope." Before Lin Su could finish his words, Xu Xiaolin interrupted him. "I think Han Mo's trauma is not only from her stepfather's sexual assault, but more likely from her mother's forbearance." Xu Xiaolin sighed, unable to imagine what kind of tragic effect the tragic plot in the novel would have if it happened in real life. Perhaps, the truth confirms the saying: fiction is always based on real life. Moreover, real life is sometimes more brutal than fiction. "A person who has been abandoned by his only loved one, I think, will probably lose the courage to live in this world. From this point of view, I still admire her very much, and I can still work hard to that point later. ”
"Your feelings seem to be deep." Wang Shen stretched his brows and smiled at Xu Xiaolin.
"You know, women are much more emotional than you men. And for such a thing as writing a novel, if you just rely on dry logical reasoning, who wants to read it. Xu Xiaolin glanced at Wang Shen, picked up the coffee at hand, and took a big sip.
"Alright, let's get down to business." Lin Su interrupted Wang Shen and Xu Xiaolin's emotional exchange at the right time. According to Song Mu's recollection, a year before Han Mo's death, Han Mo's condition improved. But some time before her death, her condition suddenly deteriorated again. Moreover, Han Mo refused to tell Song Mu the reason for his emotional change. ”
"This should be easier to explain." Xu Xiaolin put down the coffee cup in her hand. "What can make a woman's emotions fluctuate is nothing more than you stinky men."
"Writer Xu, don't be so scolding. You don't want to overturn a boatload of people because of one person. In order to enliven the lifeless environment, Lin Su also made a joke. However, the conclusion of Xu Da writer is the same as that of Song Mu. According to the clues you just mentioned, whether this man is Han Mo's assistant Xiao Lin or someone else is a question that we need to figure out. Lin Su finally picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, then frowned slightly. Therefore, judging from Han Mo's psychological state in the last stage, the possibility of her suicide is not impossible. ”
Wang Shen knocked the pen on the notebook heavily, then closed the notebook and looked at Xu Xiaolin and Lin Su. "I'm going to summarize where we're going for the next stage. There are two main suspects, one is the 'scar man' Zheng Wu, and the other is Han Mo's former assistant Xiao Lin. Therefore, it is necessary for us to contact these two people to see if there is anything suspicious about them. ”
"Yes. Officer Wang, you can directly assign the task. Lin Su nodded and said.
"Zheng Wu, our police locked it up early on, and now we are unemployed vagrants, and there is a certain danger when we come into contact. Therefore, Zheng Wu's side will be investigated by myself, and you will be responsible for finding Xiao Lin. ”
"That's not going to work." Xu Xiaolin put the pen in front of her, constantly shaking the pen, and vetoed Wang Shen's proposal. "Xiao Lin should also be a cultural person. Such a person, I think Lin Da writer alone is enough to deal with it. I'm going to go with you to Zheng Wu. ”
"No, it's dangerous." Wang Shen shook his head and also rejected Xu Xiaolin's proposal.
"Officer Wang, Lin Su went to investigate Xiao Lin and make judgments and analyses. And I happened to accompany you to investigate Zheng Wu, and I can also make judgments and analysis. In this way, you can make the most of our advantages when you come to us. Besides......" Xu Xiaolin laughed, put down the pen, and picked up the coffee cup again in her hand. "For an unemployed vagrant, Officer Wang is not confident that he can protect my safety?" After speaking, Xu Xiaolin took a sip of coffee.
"Your mouth is really not ordinary." Wang Shen shook his head, smiled, and finally acquiesced to Xu Xiaolin's proposal.
Two days later, Xu Xiaolin received a call from Wang Shen. When Xu Xiaolin went out, it was already dark. It started to rain again, Xu Xiaolin sighed, took an umbrella in the car, opened the door and walked out. Wang Shen was already waiting not far away, beckoned to Xu Xiaolin, and walked over. After the two of them said hello, Xu Xiaolin followed Wang Shen into an alley.
The alley is in the heart of the city, but it feels a bit out of place with the modern city buildings around it. In layman's terms, this is the so-called urban village. But Xu Xiaolin doesn't hate this kind of urban village, she feels that the urban village is the epitome of the historical development and changes of a city. She couldn't imagine that one day, all the urban villages would completely disappear into the city. Then, a brand-new city is like a Sichuan opera actor who has changed his face, and the soul of the city does not know if it can be retained.
And now, this alley is not as quiet and lonely as imagined, but a little lively. This alley is famous for the city's famous bars. During the day, there is no special feeling, but at night, the whole alley suddenly lights up brightly. Music and drums run from one end of the alley to the other.
"It's this one, our police found that Zheng Wu often haunts here."
Xu Xiaolin looked up, and there was a word "none" on the signboard.
