Everything is just speculation, and it is meaningless to worry about it now.
Shi Jin quickly threw away the messy thoughts in his mind, adjusted his mood, and went to the bathroom happily, ready to "warm up" Lian Jun before the massage. Shi Jin
finally slept well that night, but as soon as he woke up, his mentality collapsed again.
"How did it rise to 600? Is it still okay?" He hugged the fried egg pillow, buried his head in the pillow, and felt that there was nothing to love in life.
Xiao Si said weakly, "The progress bar went up in the early morning last night. I saw you and the baby were sleeping soundly, and the progress bar didn't go up too much, so I didn't call you..."
"An increase of 80 at a time, that's not much." Shi Jin couldn't even sigh now. Thinking of something, he took out his mobile phone with shaking hands and found Shi Weichong's phone number. He wanted to call him and ask him if he had a quarrel with Xu Jie, but he was afraid that asking this question would be too obvious and make Shi Weichong suspicious, so he stuffed the phone under the pillow in a depressed mood.
The bathroom door was opened from the inside, and Lian Jun came out in a sliding wheelchair. Seeing Shi Jin changed his sleeping position and lay on the bed with a pillow in his arms, he guessed that he had woken up, so he leaned over and patted his back and said, "Get up, I have a gift for you."
Huh? Gift? Shi
Jin turned to look at Lian Jun.
"Actually, this is something I should have given you a long time ago." Lian Jun leaned over, reached out and touched his messy hair, and explained, "When we were on the island, you promised to help you check Shi Xingrui's letter records. During this period, the internal department of Mie has been busy with other things, and the progress of the investigation has been delayed. The information was only sent over a few days ago. I thought you were going to take the college entrance examination, so I withheld the information for a few days. Now that the college entrance examination is over, do you want to see the information?"
Letter records?
Shi Jin was stunned for a moment, and finally remembered that he had asked Lian Jun to do this. Thinking of the mysterious white moonlight, he suddenly became energetic. He turned over and rushed over to hold Lian Jun's hand, and said excitedly: "Look! I want to see it!"
...
After washing up as quickly as possible, Shi Jin finished his breakfast in a few bites and took the tablet computer with the data from Lian Jun.
The data is very large and has a password lock. Shi Jin took a deep breath secretly, clicked it to open it, and entered the password that Lian Jun told him.
After the file was opened, a copy of an excellent composition in the style of an elementary school student jumped out first. Shi Jin was stunned for a moment, flipped back, and found that the next few pages were all manuscript information. He was a little confused.
Isn't it a letter record of the investigation? Why are they all manuscripts?
"Shi Xingrui erased the letter records too cleanly, and the investigation team couldn't find any clues, so they changed the starting point for the investigation." Lian Jun explained at the right time, and added, "This data didn't find much clear information, you have to be mentally prepared, I have people continue to dig deeper, and will send more data when there is news." Shi
Jin frowned when he heard this, but soon relaxed, flipped back to the first page of the data and saw Shi Xingrui's name on the author's signature of the elementary school essay.
So the investigation team used the articles published by Shi Xingrui as the starting point for the investigation?
This direction is also correct. If Shi Xingrui wants to publish an article, he must submit it first, and submitting an article requires letters.
Shi Jin thought about it, collected his thoughts, and pulled his attention back. He carefully read the content of the composition and the date of publication. After a rough calculation, he found that this composition was written by Shi Xingrui when he was ten years old. At that time, Shi Xingrui should be in the fourth grade of elementary school.
It is explained in the information that this composition is Shi Xingrui's first published work. It was submitted by a teacher and was finally included and published by a small campus newspaper in the city. The person who investigated the information was very careful. At the back of this manuscript, the name and current situation of the teacher who submitted the manuscript were marked, and a photo was attached.
Shi Jin looked at the photo and found that he had seen the photo of this teacher when he read Shi Xingrui's life information before. There was no resemblance between him and himself, so he quickly looked away.
He clicked on the next page of information and found another essay popped up. According to the time calculation, this should be the second article published by Shi Xingrui. It was only half a month after the first article was published. It was still submitted by the teacher and published in the same campus newspaper.
Shi Jin sped up the speed of flipping through the information and found that all the essays published by Shi Xingrui in the fourth grade were submitted by the same teacher. In other words, during this period, Shi Xingrui had no correspondence with the outside world, and all external contacts were handled by that teacher.
In the fifth grade, Shi Xingrui changed teachers. The teacher who taught him before was transferred, so there was a small gap in his essay publishing. It was not until the second half of the fifth grade that he published a new article.
It was still an essay, but the place of publication had changed. It was no longer in that small campus newspaper, but on the education edition of a mainstream newspaper in the city, and appeared in a corner of the learning column as an excellent essay example.
From an unknown campus newspaper to the learning column of a city newspaper, the platform for publishing Shi Xingrui's articles had a qualitative leap, but unfortunately, there was no submission information attached to this manuscript.
Without the help of the teacher, Shi Jin could say with certainty that Shi Xingrui must have published this essay himself. But unfortunately, Shi Xingrui erased the correspondence information too cleanly, and the submission information could not be found at all.
Shi Jin did not give up. He held on to a faint hope and flipped through the following manuscript materials again, hoping that there would be some fish that slipped through the net, or that the newspaper would have some archived articles. But unfortunately, the investigation team obviously thought of the places he could think of, and Shi Xingrui thought of it even more, so this part of the information was still blank, and the investigation team found nothing.
Overall, it seemed that the manuscripts published by Shi Xingrui all jumped onto the editor-in-chief's desk out of thin air, and there was no trace at all.
Shi Jin had no choice but to accept his fate and turned to pay attention to other information of the manuscripts. Gradually, he found that it was from here that Shi Xingrui's article publishing path became smoother and wider.
Since the second half of the fifth grade, when Shi Xingrui's first composition was published in the learning column of the city newspaper, the name Shi Xingrui has become a regular landscape in the city newspaper column. By the time Shi Xingrui graduated from elementary school and successfully passed the entrance exam to the city's junior high school, he had already become a well-known child prodigy in the eyes of the citizens.
After Shi Xingrui was admitted to junior high school, his parents sold their property and moved to the city to raise money for Shi Xingrui's tuition. They brought Shi Xingrui through a very difficult period. It was during this period that Shi Xingrui's articles were finally no longer limited to newspapers. They were gradually noticed by some publishing houses and institutions, and were included in many teaching materials and tutoring books. He received a very generous amount of royalties, which helped his father get through the most difficult period after coming to the city.
Seeing this, Shi Jin stopped flipping through the materials and his eyes fell on one of the tutoring textbooks that included Shi Xingrui's articles.
The textbook was a specially converted electronic version, with the cover and content exactly the same as the original book. On the introduction page at the back of the tutorial textbook, there was a line of words that caught Shi Jin's attention: Planning Editor: Jian Chenghua.
Jian Chenghua, this name looked familiar.
Shi Jin's heart moved, and he quickly turned back to the part of the information about Shi Xingrui's articles published in the city newspaper when he was in the sixth grade.
The information sent by Lian Jun's subordinates was very detailed, including every article published by Shi Xingrui. The investigators would carefully sort out the general information of all reporters and editors who appeared on the entire page of the newspaper in the issue where Shi Xingrui's article was published, and would also prepare the names of the newspaper's behind-the-scenes staff who were in charge of this section at the time. The information of the person responsible for reviewing the manuscript would be specially marked in red. Shi Jin
carefully searched in the red-marked list and soon saw what he wanted to see - Jian Chenghua, the editor-in-chief of the education section of the city newspaper.
One is the city newspaper that has been publishing Shi Xingrui's articles, and the other is the supplementary teaching material that includes Shi Xingrui's articles. These two things seem to have nothing to do with each other, but they have the same person in charge and include the same person's articles. Is it a coincidence? Or is there a deeper connection? Shi Jin
sat up straight unconsciously, and when he turned to the materials at the back, he unconsciously paid more attention to the name Jian Chenghua. After
entering junior high school, Shi Xingrui's articles still appeared in the city newspaper from time to time, and Jian Chenghua was still the editor-in-chief of the education edition of the city newspaper. The two did not have any personal relationship on the surface, and Shi Xingrui's articles were no longer included in the textbooks.
Shi Jin frowned and became uncertain in his heart. From this perspective, the overlap of the person in charge at the front seems to be just a coincidence.
He shook his head and continued to turn the information.
After entering the second year of junior high school, Shi Xingrui stopped writing only essays and began to write short stories and essays. The scope of his contributions gradually expanded, and he slowly gained some reputation and popularity in domestic educational publications. But even though he had a place in national publications, Shi Xingrui still did not give up the small place of the city newspaper. He would regularly publish something in the learning column of the city newspaper, sometimes articles, sometimes poems, and sometimes some learning tips. He was a genius and a top student.
This situation continued until Shi Xingrui was admitted to a provincial high school and successfully promoted to the second year of high school. In the first semester of the second year of high school, Shi Xingrui's articles suddenly stopped appearing in the city's newspapers. At the same time, Shi Jin noticed that Jian Chenghua also suddenly resigned from the city's newspaper during this period and joined a large newspaper in City B. Shi Jin
suddenly became energetic again, and felt that there was indeed something wrong with Jian Chenghua.
He could explain the overlap between the auxiliary teaching materials and the behind-the-scenes employees of the newspaper by saying that the education industry is such a small area, and it is inevitable that everyone's work will overlap. But this time, as soon as Jian Chenghua resigned, Shi Xingrui stopped submitting articles to the city newspaper. Is this also a coincidence?
Moreover, with Shi Xingrui's utilitarian character, when he could submit his articles to a larger platform and gain more benefits, he still insisted on submitting articles to the city newspaper. No one would believe that there was no other reason!
Shi Jin couldn't help but click on Jian Chenghua's profile and flipped through his photos.
A photo of a middle-aged fat man with thick-soled glasses and a simple appearance popped up.
Shi Jin's excited expression froze. He looked at the photo carefully and was disappointed to find that this fat man didn't look like himself at all, and considering the fat man's age, it was impossible for him to be Shi Xingrui's white moonlight.
Could he really be wrong?
Shi Jin frowned deeply and looked at Jian Chenghua's photo carefully again. In the end, he couldn't deceive himself and deceive himself that this person was Shi Xingrui's white moonlight. He sighed with regret and flipped the profile back.
As a result, he was even more disappointed when he flipped back.
Because starting from the first semester of his second year in high school, Shi Xingrui not only continuously submitted articles to the city, but also stopped submitting articles to other publications in all aspects, and began to concentrate on studying. At the same time, Shi Jin recalled that it was in this year that Shi Xingrui's father began to feel unwell and was frequently in and out of the hospital.
This was probably one of the reasons why Shi Xingrui stopped writing articles, in order to take care of his father.
The information here has already turned over more than half.
Shi Jin was a little desperate.
Shi Xingrui had erased the correspondence records too cleanly. From the time Shi Xingrui submitted articles himself in the fifth grade to the time when Shi Xingrui temporarily stopped writing in the second year of high school, with such a long time span and so many submissions to publications, Shi Xingrui did not miss a single message. He was simply insane.
Without detailed correspondence records, it is extremely difficult to find useful information only through Shi Xingrui's article publication history. Shi Jin
was very depressed. After looking through so many materials, he gained nothing. He only confirmed one thing that he had guessed before - there must be Shi Xingrui's secret hidden in the letter records, otherwise Shi Xingrui would not have gone to such great lengths to erase the letter records, and even erased them so thoroughly that even the destruction could not be found.
Should he be happy that his previous guess was correct? Shi Jin comforted himself, cheered himself up a little, and opened the remaining information.
From the second year of high school to the first half of the freshman year, Shi Xingrui's article publishing record was always blank. It was not until the second half of the second year that he published an article again. However, since then, the content of his published articles has become very simple - no beautiful prose, no interesting stories, only one after another highly professional papers.
Shi Xingrui suddenly changed from a literary genius who loved writing articles to an academic tyrant. And he no longer had any intersection with Jian Chenghua. Although the two were both in City B, one was developing peacefully in a newspaper, and the other was writing a brilliant life in college. They kept to themselves and it seemed that they had never even met by chance.
Four years of college passed by like this. After Shi Jin flipped through the last paper published by Shi Xingrui in college, he finally read through the thick document. After graduating from college, Shi Xingrui concentrated on running his company and never wrote again.
At the end of the document, the investigators also specifically noted that since there was no written information about Shi Xingrui, the investigators specially visited Shi Xingrui's high school and junior high school classmates and asked about Shi Xingrui's correspondence when he was in school.
Based on the vague memories of these classmates, the investigators concluded that Shi Xingrui did always receive letters when he was in school, but they were all letters from newspapers and magazines, and he had never seen any personal letters from him. Shi
Jin put down the tablet and collapsed on the sofa.
Still nothing.
Mie's investigation team has worked very hard. When they couldn't find any correspondence records, they managed to restore Shi Xingrui's external correspondence by collecting records of Shi Xingrui's published articles. But it was still not enough. He needed more detailed information to find clues.
Should he continue to wait for further digging?
He raised the tablet again and stared at the last page of the data in a daze.
But if he waited any longer, these would probably be all he would find. Shi Xingrui was too cautious, and he didn't dare to bet that Shi Xingrui would miss any clues to let him know.
Let's try to extract useful information from the existing data.
He moved his eyes, raised his hand and flipped back the data page by page.
Bai Yueguang is a living person. If she really existed and had any correspondence with Shi Xingrui, then there would be some traces left no matter what. Shi Xingrui was not well off when he was young, and his circle of friends was so small. There was no other way for him to meet pen pals except through these newspapers and magazines. There
must be something related to Bai Yueguang hidden in these materials.
Could Bai Yueguang be a little fan of Shi Xingrui? Did she like him through Shi Xingrui's articles, and then sent him a letter or something? Shi
Jin guessed, and then shook his head when he remembered the last sentence of the information, and dispelled this guess. It shouldn't be. If it was a letter from a fan, then Shi Xingrui's classmates should have heard about it, and Shi Xingrui has never revealed his mailing address on public platforms, so fans can't send him letters at all.
Could it be an alumnus of Shi Xingrui whom he had never met? Because he admired Shi Xingrui's talent, he wrote an anonymous love letter to Shi Xingrui, and then moved Shi Xingrui?
It didn't seem right. If it was an alumnus, the letter would not have to go through the postal system, and he only needed to secretly put it in the desk pocket, but there were so many people coming and going in the school. If this happened, it would have been full of messages. No
matter how hard he thought, he had no clue.
Shi Jin frowned, and his fingers unconsciously swiped at the information. As he swiped, Jian Chenghua's photo popped up again. He instinctively fixed the photo on the screen and his attention fell back on this person.
Jian Chenghua, the only person in this file who seems to have some special connection with Shi Xingrui, is a fat man, old enough to be Shi Xingrui's father at the time. He looks nothing like him, but he is the editor-in-chief of the newspaper and can access all the manuscripts submitted to the newspaper. If he uses the newspaper's system to write to Shi Weichong, it will not attract attention.
During Jian Chenghua's tenure as editor-in-chief of the city newspaper, Shi Xingrui has been continuously providing excellent articles to the city newspaper, even when Shi Xingrui went to high school in the provincial capital in the later period and his articles could be published in various national publications, and his identity was no longer suitable for writing articles for elementary and junior high school students, he still did not stop.
This is really a bit strange. Shi Xingrui is not a nostalgic person. After having a better development platform, there is no reason for him not to give up such a small pond as the city newspaper and go to better rivers, lakes and seas.
Thinking about it this way, this person does seem to have a lot of problems.
Shi Jin sat up, thought about it, and stood up and walked towards Lian Jun. Before finding other more useful information, any information that makes people feel inconsistent is worth digging into.
...
Lian Jun was reviewing documents. After listening to Shi Jin's words, he took the tablet and looked at the photo of Jian Chenghua, and said: "You can let Gua Jiu check this. Gua Jiu can apply to log in to the official system and check some basic information. This Jian Chenghua is just an ordinary person. The information is very transparent. It is easy to check him." Shi Jin
was surprised, and kissed him in gratitude. He picked up the tablet and went to find Gua Jiu.
It was indeed very easy to look up Jian Chenghua. Gua Jiu only spent one morning to find out Jian Chenghua's biographical information. He brought his computer to Lian Jun's study to find Shi Jin, with a slightly strange expression on his face. Shi
Jin's heart tightened when he saw this, and he was expectant and worried. He asked, "Did you find out anything?"
"I did find out..." Gua Jiu answered, with an expression on his face that he didn't know what to say. He took a step forward, put the computer on the desk, turned it on, and turned on the screen, saying, "You can see for yourselves."
The screen lit up, and a photo that looked a bit old jumped out. The person in the photo was a teenager, very fat, with a pale face, but with a smile on his face, looking very cute and friendly. When the photo was taken, he was sitting on the hospital bed and making a scissors hand gesture towards the camera.
Xiao Si cried out "Ah".
Lian Jun frowned and instinctively looked towards Shi Jin.
Shi Jin was stunned and speechless looking at the photo.
When he was reborn, his original body was very fat. Although he was fat for a short period of time, he still remembered what this body looked like when it was fat. Now that this photo popped up, he almost suspected that this photo was taken when the original owner was still fat.
"Who is he?" He asked in a dry voice, his heart beating fast, and he felt that he had vaguely touched the truth.
"Jian Chenghua's son, Jian Jinwen, has passed away from cancer," Gua Jiu answered, and clicked on another photo, saying, "This was taken a month before he died."
Another photo popped up, and the person in the photo had become a young man, with a pale face and purple lips. His complexion was very bad, but he still had a smile on his face and a very gentle expression. He wore a hat on his head and held a magazine in his hand, smiling happily at the camera.
Putting aside his complexion and age and body shape, the person in the photo, judging only by his facial features, was a replica of Shi Jin, except that this person did not have a mole on the tip of his nose.
Lian Jun looked at the facial features and gray complexion of the person in the photo, who looked very much like Shi Jin, and felt as if he was looking at Shi Jin, who was running out of time. He could not help but reach out to cover the computer screen, and slid out to hold Shi Jin's hand.
Shi Jin was startled back to his senses by his action, and hurriedly held his hand, suppressed the shock in his heart, and comforted him: "It's okay, that's not me, I'm healthy, that's not me." "
I know." Lian Jun felt his body temperature, and the palpitation he felt when he saw the photo gradually faded. He tightened his hand and said: "Sorry, I lost my composure... Gua Jiu, bring the computer over."
Gua Jiu looked at Lian Jun worriedly and moved the computer over.
The screen was turned on again, Shi Jin reached out and jumped to Jian Jinwen's photo, and quickly flipped through other information.
