Following.

Around five o'clock in the morning.

"Xiao Chen."

In the waiting room of the police station, Team Liu sat down next to Chen Qiang.

"I'm sorry," Team Liu said, "for keeping you up all night." ”

"It's okay," Chen Qiang said with a smile, "I've been with my brother since I was a child, and I'm used to it." ”

Xiao Xue's sanity problem upset him, but in front of Team Liu, Chen Qiang still cheered up and remained polite.

Chen Qiang's cousin, Chen Jian, is an excellent police officer. In the original time and space, Chen Jian died in a car accident before graduating from the police academy. The reborn Chen Qiang saved his brother's fate, and Chen Jian lived up to expectations and became an excellent people's police officer.

Chen Qiang and Team Liu have known each other for a long time. Team Liu sighed several times that it would be nice if Chen Qiang could go to the police academy like his brother.

In Chen Qiang's eyes, Team Liu is a decent man, with a clear distinction between public and private, but also without losing measurement and human touch, and his biggest shortcoming is that he is a bit addicted to smoking.

"Team Liu," Seeing Team Liu take out a cigarette and lighter from his pocket again, Chen Qiang couldn't help but persuade, "How many cigarettes did you smoke today?" ”

"Is this an all-nighter," Team Liu shook his head, "I'm old, and my energy can't compare to you young people." ”

He said so, but he still snuffed out the freshly lit cigarette in the ashtray.

"Wei Yuanshan didn't go back to the dormitory last night," Team Liu said, "and someone saw him with you at night." ”

"We had a fight." Chen Qiang told the truth.

Team Liu nodded. He wasn't interrogating Chen Qiang, but Chen Qiang's answer still satisfied him.

"You called me earlier and said that someone with a suspicious appearance was following you." Team Liu asked.

Chen Qiang usually sent several pickpockets in college towns to the police station, and together with Xiaoxue, he provided clues to help the police find out the melon, and successfully eliminated a scam company that specializes in fooling college students, and the police also awarded him and Xiaoxue a certificate of merit for this.

Team Liu has also been worried that Chen Qiang will be retaliated against by criminals.

"I don't know if that's him." Chen Qiang said.

Team Liu nodded. There were many students who didn't return overnight, but Wei Yuanshan couldn't be contacted anyway, which still made him suspicious.

"Can you tell me what you quarreled with Wei Yuanshan?"

"Something to do with the game." Chen Qiang said.

"I guess so." Team Liu nodded. He had already learned about the situation from several other students who had heard Chen Qiang and Wei Yuanshan's quarrel.

They only heard a few words from a distance, and they couldn't tell what the two were arguing about. One of them swore that the two were arguing over the distribution of equipment in World of Warcraft.

"I'm also responsible. It's too rash to speak. Chen Qiang said remorsefully.

"You don't know," Team Liu showed a relieved expression, "Your classmates are all talking for you." What do you say, it is absolutely impossible for you to take the initiative to quarrel with others, it must be Wei Yuanshan's sullen and troublesome and something. ”

"I'm not as good as they thought I was." Chen Qiang shook his head.

"We pay attention to the law," Liu said, "even if Wei Yuanshan really goes missing, I will ...... with you You wait a minute, I'll answer the phone. ”

Team Liu took out his mobile phone and stood up.

He left Chen Qiang at the police station for half a night, not because the last person to see Wei Yuanshan who "went out and didn't return" and "couldn't be contacted" was Chen Qiang; It was not simply because Chen Qiang said before that someone was following him, so he was left at the police station for protection.

At around 10 p.m., a couple who sneaked back to school from outside the school in the middle of the night called the police and found a body in the school's artificial lake. Although it is difficult to determine the exact time of death due to the flooding, even a glance shows that the man had been dead for at least a week.

Team Liu suspected that Wei Yuanshan's sudden "disappearance" was related to this corpse. He immediately took samples from the body and sent it to a laboratory for DNA testing and comparing it with those who had recently disappeared.

Thanks to the advancement of technology, it only takes two to three hours to collect DNA, but the comparison time is not known how long it takes.

"Are you sure?" Team Liu's voice suddenly became louder, and even Chen Qiang, who was separated by a wall, could hear it clearly, and then his voice fell again, "Yes...... Be. I see, that's right...... That's right. Good. ”

Team Liu returned to the waiting room. His expression was unusually serious.

"Xiao Chen," he said, "the situation has changed somewhat. I ask again: the person who quarreled with you last night, you are sure it is...... Wei Yuanshan himself? ”

"Uncle Liu, your question is very strange," Chen Qiang said, "who else could it be?" ”

"Do you think ...... Wei Yuanshan last night, compared with the past, is there something different? ”

"That's there," Chen Qiang replied, "I don't know Wei Yuanshan well, but he not only looked nervous yesterday, but his face was not very good. ”

"That's right," Team Liu said in a low voice, "Xiao Chen, you listen to me calmly." The 'Wei Yuanshan' who quarreled with you last night may not be the real him. ”

"What?" Chen Qiang was shocked.

"I can't tell you the details of the investigation, but the public information will be released before noon," Liu said, "I'll tell you in advance." Last night, a corpse was found in the artificial lake of your school, which had been dead for about half a month, and after DNA comparison, it was determined that it was Wei Yuanshan's. ”

"How is that possible?"

"I think it's incredible, but it's true. We were also lucky to have the DNA of the deceased's close relatives in the first place, so that the identity of the deceased was determined so quickly," Team Liu said, "The person who clashed with you yesterday was definitely not Wei Yuanshan, but someone pretending to be him." ”

Chen Qiang listened silently.

"Now we suspect that this person is a professional criminal who is good at disguise, and his appearance and body are similar to Wei Yuanshan, he killed Wei Yuanshan, and then took advantage of Wei Yuanshan's withdrawn and unobtrusive characteristics to pretend to be him, and wanted to commit crimes in school. Yesterday's conflict with you made him think that he might be exposed, so he abandoned his plan and chose to escape. ”

Chen Qiang smiled bitterly: "In this way, I let him be exposed in advance, which is still a great achievement." ”

"Look at what you said," Team Liu was in no mood to joke with Chen Qiang, and he was worried at the thought that there might be a dangerous criminal suspected of being mentally ill wandering around, "You can go back to school now." Remember, thousands, keep yourself safe first! ”

……

Leaving the police station, Chen Qiang shook his head helplessly.

When the "Hasta's Contractor" dies, it automatically turns into a corpse that has been dead for more than half a month—their true face.

From the moment Wei Yuanshan was signed by Hasta, he was "already" dead.

Chen Qiang trusts Team Liu, but even if he tells him the truth, this decent old police officer will only think that Chen Qiang has played too many games and stayed up all night to hallucinate.

"It's a script for the difficulty of 'Old Dominators.'" Chen Qiang said in his heart.

If you are in a group game, the strategies of "closing your eyes and sealing mythical items", "calling for support with your credit rating before the event happens", and "liquid nitrogen package" are already suspected of being overplayed.

But in the real world, that's just barely enough.

Sighing from the bottom of his heart, Chen Qiang took out his mobile phone.

In addition to the [Wisdom Pool], [Eye of the Secret Keeper], and [Invite Investigator], he has already browsed through the other Secret Keeper features that "The Secret Keeper of Cthulhu" has just unlocked.

"I'm finally the last keeper of secrecy on Earth." Chen Qiang muttered to himself.

"Xiao Xue's unexpected sanity value is by no means just because she witnessed Wei Yuanshan transform into a monster."

"What the hell is she hiding?"

"I have to think of a way to make Xiaoxue open her heart," Chen Qiang thought silently, "That 'Secret Game Hall' also has to be unlocked as soon as possible." ”
