Chapter 8: Like a Dream

Shi Zuocai's doxing plan workedβ€”he managed to find a new breakthrough and discovered the diary's owner's Weibo.

I was horrified.

"How did you do that? Don't tell me you've found other clues in your blog!! ”

If Shi Zuocai had already found other clues that were helpful to doxing but hid them and didn't tell me, I would be quite unwilling, whether it is in the duel between the detective and the murderer, or the duel between the reader and the author, the inequality of information is absolutely fatal. But he shook his head:

"All I know, again, is her blog username."

"Are you kidding?!" I jumped to my feet:

"I've searched all the places I need to search, domestic and foreign search engines, and even social networking sites...... You didn't even find a hair, how did you find it? ”

Shi Zuocai glanced at me lightly and said:

"Like you, I searched for the name of Iorihara Kuriko on various social platforms, and I wasted almost an hour before and after. However, after confirming that this username was not her usual name, or rather, the name of her usual social media accounts, I changed my mind. ”

"Changed your mind?" I repeated.

He placed his phone on the table, and I leaned over to look at it, dumbfounded.

There are dozens of apps related to illustration and commercial drafts downloaded from my mobile phone, and they occupy two versions of the desktop position.

Since the blog has very few views, it's likely that 'Iorihara Kuriko' is not her usual social account name. Using this name to search for human flesh on social networking sites is nothing more than a fate of wood seeking fish. So I thought, is it possible that this name is her work account username? ”

"So you downloaded these apps?"

Shi Zuocai nodded:

"If she's an artist, there's a good chance she's freelance. There is no fixed working time every month, and since you can choose to receive manuscripts by yourself, the manuscript period is relatively generous. Freelance artists, on the other hand, rely more on various online manuscript platforms than those with fixed studios. ”

As he spoke, he picked up his phone and clicked on one of the apps:

"When I tried the thirty-sixth, I found an artist account called 'Iorihara Chestnut' on this platform."

I hurriedly took my phone to check, and sure enough, Iorihara Kuriko's personal user interface displayed five stars, which meant that she was the resident artist on this manuscript platform.

Then click on the manuscript album, which is a variety of dazzling illustrations, with a very strong personal style, and each painting is bright and magnificent. Just like the style of her writing in the blog, it can be seen that she is indeed a woman who is extremely sensitive to color.

"This woman is so good at drawing?"

Shi Zuocai obviously didn't mean to study painting skills, took his phone and flipped through a few pages, found a relatively early illustration, and enlarged the lower right corner - what caught his eye was a vague Weibo username watermark.

Miss Ahh.

An inexplicable rush of excitement rushed from my chest to my throat, making me want to vomit.

We are like gingerbread people who have jumped out of the box, about to step into a new and unknown world, and the true face of that woman hidden under the veil of mystery is already about to be revealed.

As if I had been re-wound, I hurriedly opened Weibo, logged into my account, and searched for Miss Ahao's name.

"200,000 followers?"

"Different from corporate painters, for freelance artists, Weibo is also one of the platforms for work. They need visibility more than other artists, and if they have enough popularity and reputation as a guarantee, artists will receive more projects. ”

I agreed, so I didn't say anything and clicked on her homepage.

The moment I saw the top Weibo, I was completely sure that this "Miss Ahao" was the person we were looking for.

It was a painting by Miss Achi.

Unlike her previous painting style, which focuses on color effects, this painting is completely black and white.

The person in the painting is sitting at the desk, as if thinking about something, the glasses reflect the cold light of the lamp, the slender knuckles support half of the face, and the temperament and charm all reveal a kind of gentle and restrained taste.

That's exactly what happened.

The accompanying text on the picture is only two short words:

[Sir.] 】

I remember a quote I read somewhere.

"It's too vulgar to call a husband, too sensual to call a dear, too contrived to call a baby, and too formal to call a husband. Only the name 'sir' is the best: serious with a bit of nonchalant teasing, as if all the emotions in love are quietly buried in it. ”

Thinking of the dense "Mr. He" left by "Miss Ahao" in that unknown blog, I seem to be able to feel the admiration and love that overflows the screen.

This time, I didn't have the excitement I had when I first found Weibo. Finding her true identity - this matter has unwittingly changed from a detective game to pass the time with Shi Zuo to an invisible mission.

I pulled down and found that the most recent tweet she had posted was a year and a half ago β€” coinciding with the date of her breakup with He Yu. I felt a little indescribable emotion in my heart. I didn't expect the breakup to be such a serious blow to her, and even the usual Weibo account that freelance artists rely on for a living had to be abandoned.

I turned my head to look at Shi Zuocai, who was clicking on her Weibo one by one in the order of the most recent time, and even read the comments carefully, I thought about it and decided to directly click on her popular Weibo to read them one by one.

The algorithm of popular Weibo is related to the number of retweets, comments, and likes. Therefore, most of her popular Weibo are some fanart drawn by herself, Marvel superheroes, popular animation and movie characters, or some mobile game planning drafts......

I can't see anything special in the comments, it's nothing more than rainbow farts of all colors, such as "What kind of fairy painting is this", "You all give me a little back, this time I'm going to do it first" and so on.

I gradually realized that Miss Ah Chi has more followers on Weibo, which may not be a good thing for our investigation. There are many people, but it is inconvenient for her to use Weibo as a tree hole to pour out some real inner thoughts. I can't even see a single selfie in my imagination.

Scrolling down further, I finally found a Weibo that was more meaningful.

Compared with other popular Weibo, the number of retweets and likes on this Weibo is pitiful, but on the contrary, there are a lot more comments.

Because it's a Weibo with relatively daily content.
