"Who is that person? What's his name?" Wang Yanjun asked.

Shi Xinse shrank back and shook her head: "I...I don't know."

Wang Yanjun scoffed lightly: "Looks like you're still not being honest."

As he spoke, he opened the elevator door.

The red-clad ghost lunged at Shi Xin in an instant, terrifying her so much that she cowered in a corner of the elevator and screamed in panic:

"No! No!!!"

"I really don't know, I really don't know!!!"

Seeing Shi Xin's expression, Wang Yanjun frowned slightly, then closed the elevator door and asked again:

"Even if I don't know the name, I must know what it looks like!"

“He was wearing a black trench coat, a hat, and a mask, so I couldn’t see his face, but judging from his voice, he should… he should be a young man,” Shi Xin said hurriedly.

Wang Yanjun: "Recount the entire process of your meeting with him and everything you said, without omitting a single word!"

Shi Xin nodded repeatedly, telling him everything she knew without missing a single word.

...

Wang Yanjun took the confession to Lu Qing and Gu Xicheng.

"Shi Xin confessed everything. Ya Yu was controlled by someone else. That person even approached her, but deliberately covered his face, so Shi Xin didn't see what he looked like."

Lu Qing glanced at Shi Xin's statement, then frowned and said:

"According to Shi Xin, the person who actually orchestrated the whole thing behind the scenes should be this mysterious person, but why would he do this?"

Just as they were speculating about the mysterious man's motives, Jianming and Liu Manyun made a new discovery.

“Idol, we just reviewed the surveillance footage near the addresses Shi Xin gave to those buyers and found a strange person at each transaction site.”

Liu Manyun opened the surveillance video and zoomed in on the captured human figure:

"It's this man. Sometimes he dresses differently, but he always wears a black mask. Also, his walking posture is a bit off. It seems like there's something wrong with his left leg, so he limps."

Liu Manyun retrieved all the surveillance videos:

“These are basically all there, but sometimes they only capture his profile and sometimes only his back. If I hadn’t discovered that he was in two videos and deliberately looked for him in other videos, I probably wouldn’t have noticed him.”

"This person is very likely the one controlling Yayu. Quickly take this to Shi Xin to have him identify."

Wang Yanjun nodded, and then took the video to Shi Xin for identification.

Shi Xin took a long time to confirm: "It's him!"

"Are you sure?" Wang Yanjun asked.

Shi Xin nodded repeatedly: "I'm sure, he has a problem with his left leg, he always walks with a limp."

Once the person was identified, Wang Yanjun immediately took the video to other police teams' technicians to process it, and then had a portrait artist reconstruct the person's face.

After waiting for a long time, the suspect's portrait was finally sent over.

He was a rather handsome young man who looked somewhat familiar.

"Why does he look so familiar?" Lu Qing stroked his chin, trying to recall.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, and she exclaimed:

"I know where I've seen him before!"

"Manyun, pull up the group photo of my fifth brother on the first stage of the talent show."

Liu Manyun immediately transferred it out as instructed.

Lu Qing pointed to the person on the far right of the group photo and said, "That's him! Doesn't he look exactly like the person in the portrait?"

Wang Yanjun immediately retrieved the person's identity information.

"Found him! His name is Gao Tianqi. He was very popular among the trainees in that season, almost on par with your fifth brother. But later, due to an accident, he broke his left leg during a performance and was forced to leave the show. Otherwise, he would have a place in the entertainment industry today."

Lu Qing: "Was his broken left leg really an accident?"

Wang Yanjun: "At the time, the production team claimed it was an accident, but no one knew for sure, since no one called the police at the time."

Lu Qing immediately called to inquire about Chu Qianjue's situation at the time.

Upon hearing Lu Qing mention Gao Tianqi, Chu Qianjue sighed heavily, expressing great regret:

"Gao Tianqi was a very strong opponent. If I hadn't broken my leg, I don't know if I would have gotten first place."

Lu Qing: "Brother, do you think Gao Tianqi breaking his leg was really an accident?"

Chu Qianjue frowned and remained silent for a long time after hearing this question.

Lu Qing asked, "Fifth Brother, do you know something?"

Chu Qianjue: "Qingqing, why are you suddenly asking about Gao Tianqi? Did something happen to him?"

Lu Qing: "He's involved in a case. Brother, tell me what you know!"

Chu Qianjue hesitated for a moment before saying:

"Actually, I'm not sure either; it's just some guesses."

"The production team claimed that Gao Tianqi was injured because of a mistake in a stage movement, but in fact he performed it very well. It was his teammates who failed to catch him during the performance that caused him to break his leg."

"At first, everyone thought it was an accident, but I felt something was wrong. Later, I watched the video carefully and found that those teammates might have done it on purpose, but without evidence, it was hard to say anything."

Lu Qing: "Do you remember the names of his teammates back then?"

Chu Qianjue thought for a moment, then recited a string of names:

"These should be the people! These are all I can remember!"

Lu Qing compared the names given by Chu Qianjue with the victims and found that these people were the first batch to be turned into dummies.

Lu Qing speculated that Gao Tianqi did all this for revenge.

"Brother, investigate Gao Tianqi. He's probably the mastermind behind this!"

Wang Yanjun nodded slightly, and then immediately instructed the technical department to investigate Gao Tianqi's mobile phone, house, and vehicle information, but they found nothing.

Gao Tianqi's parents live in his rural hometown. He owns no house or car, and doesn't even have a phone number. The only useful information is that he once had a secret girlfriend named Yu Shanshan.

However, the two broke up after participating in a talent show.

Lu Qing and Gu Xicheng immediately found Yu Shanshan.

When they asked about Gao Tianqi, Yu Shanshan's expression changed slightly:

"Why are you asking him? We broke up a long time ago!"

Lu Qingliang showed his identification, and Yu Shanshan's expression improved.

"Miss Yu, please don't misunderstand. We just have some things we'd like to ask you about regarding Gao Tianqi."

Yu Shanshan: "Then you can ask!"

"Have you been in contact with Gao Tianqi recently?" Lu Qing asked.

Yu Shanshan's eyes flickered slightly, and she shook her head, saying:

"No, we broke up a long time ago. I have a husband and children now, how could we still be in contact!"

Lu Qing could tell she was lying, but she didn't call her out on it.

"When you were with him, did you notice anything unusual about him? For example, did he have any unusual abilities?"

Yu Shanshan sneered:

"Officer, what kind of question is that? Gao Tianqi is a human, not a monster. Does he know magic?"

"Besides being good at singing and dancing, he can't do anything else. Back then, he was determined to debut. Every time we met, we felt like we were doing something wrong, even though we were together for three years."

"Officer, has Gao Tianqi done something wrong?"

Lu Qing smiled slightly: "I'm sorry, I can't tell you that."

"That's all for our questions. If Gao Tianqi contacts you, please be sure to let us know."

Yu Shanshan readily agreed.

As soon as Lu Qing and Gu Xicheng left, her expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly went upstairs to her room to get another phone.
