Floating Island
Next to the work building was their dormitory. Under Li Meng's guidance, Chen An found Tang Xiaoyou's room. When he pushed the door open, he found that there was already someone inside.
"Yingying, why are you here?"
Wang Yingying's eyes looked red. When she saw them come in, she turned her back and wiped her tears. "Why are you here?"
Li Meng said: "I didn't want to come either. It was this police officer who wanted to come. I just led the way." She didn't want to stay in the house where Tang Xiaoyou had lived for even a second, so she just left after bringing him here.
Chen An naturally focused his attention on the girl in front of him. Wang Yingying subconsciously made an excuse to escape the scene. "You watch first. I'll come back and pack my things."
Chen An called her over and glanced at the things she had packed. "You are Tang Xiaoyou's roommate, right? Where are you planning to move to?"
Wang Yingying stopped and said, "Oh, I'm moving in with Sister Meng." She looked around the room and said, "After all, it's pretty scary to live here alone."
"You haven't done anything wrong. What's so scary about a house?" Chen An deliberately tested her, and Wang Yingying's face turned a little ugly.
After that, Chen An stopped talking to her and searched for clues in the room by himself. But the less he spoke, the more uneasy Wang Yingying became.
"Yes, did Sister Meng say anything?"
she asked cautiously.
"Why do you think so?" Chen An closed the wooden cabinet door and brushed the dust off the wooden photo frame with his index finger. "What do you think Li Meng would say?"
"Sister Meng and Xiaoyou's relationship is indeed not very good." Wang Yingying just said this without thinking.
"But I heard that you have a good relationship with Tang Xiaoyou. Li Meng hates Tang Xiaoyou so much, so she probably won't be with you, right?" He turned around, patted the dust off his palms, and leaned back on the cabinet naturally.
Wang Yingying didn't know what she was thinking about. She seemed to want to say something but her lips moved for a long time without uttering a single word.
Chen An lost his patience and asked directly, "Do you know someone named Luo Fanyin?"
When Wang Yingying heard the name, her heart was lifted up. She glanced at him guiltily, then quickly lowered her head and simply answered, "No."
"Brother Kun has something else to talk to me about, so I'll leave first..."
"Li Meng said that you and Tang Xiaoyou killed Luo Fanyin."
The latter's careless words stopped Wang Yingying in her tracks. She seemed to have remembered something terrifying. She turned around with a pale face, clenched her hands and said defensively, "No! It's not me! It's none of my business!"
Seeing that someone had taken the bait, Chen An walked to the door and closed it. "You have one chance to defend yourself."
Wang Yingying sat on the sofa and tried to make amends, "Li Meng is talking nonsense. There has never been a person named Luo Fanyin in our group."
Chen An said, "She didn't say she was from your group. Luo Fanyin died before she joined the group, right?"
Wang Yingying didn't want to admit it, but when the words of denial came to her lips, that smiling face appeared in her mind. She had to admit that Luo Fanyin was the most unforgettable person before she joined the group.
"She was wronged."
"How is this injustice?"
Wang Yingying took a deep breath, regained her composure, and asked, "Before I say anything, I want to know what Li Meng said."
Chen An said, "She didn't say much, only about Luo Fanyin. She said that before she joined the group, both the lead singer and the captain were supposed to be Luo Fanyin, but Tang Xiaoyou and you recommended her to the management. At a certain dinner party, she was spotted by a sponsor, and then she disappeared."
"Did she really say that?" Wang Yingying doubted his statement.
"What do you think otherwise?"
Wang Yingying avoided his eyes and stared at the glass coffee table in the lower left corner. "I thought she would intensify her slander against Xiaoyou and me. I know she's not a good person. Before we formed the group, Tang Xiaoyou, Li Meng, and Luo Fanyin were in the same dormitory and had a pretty good relationship. On the night of the group's formation, Luo Fanyin was supposed to debut with the highest score in all categories, but it was Tang Xiaoyou who debuted in the end."
"Tang Xiaoyou and Li Meng used to be good friends, but later they had a falling out for some reason. Luo Fanyin and I are both what Jiang Qiunan calls lackeys."
"Being favored by a wealthy sponsor shouldn't be fatal, right? Why did Li Meng say that you and Tang Xiaoyou killed Luo Fanyin?"
"In their eyes, we're nothing more than commodities. You wouldn't expect buyers to show any sympathy for commodities, would you? Besides, how many 'commodities' have they bought before us? Those stories about the prodigal son who returns are all lies." Wang Yingying's speech suddenly became halting. "Also, Xiaoyou later asked Brother Kun about Luo Fanyin's whereabouts, but Brother Kun couldn't tell her either. He just disappeared, vanished from the face of the earth."
The more she spoke, the more anxious she became. She seemed eager to prove Luo Fanyin's death, but she couldn't say anything for some reason.
She had many scenarios in her mind, each one horrifying her. The more she thought about it, the more her fear grew, and she felt completely uneasy. The next second, a calm voice came from the side.
"Wang Yingying, no one can disappear from this world without a trace."
Wang Yingying was terrified. She covered her ears and stamped her feet, "I don't know, I don't know!"
It was not appropriate to ask further questions about her situation, so Chen An let her go and walked around the room a few more times.
Tang Xiaoyou's room was very clean. There were only some fruit peels in the trash can. All the clothes that were usually worn in the closet had been taken away, leaving only a few luxurious dresses.
She left the dormitory on her own.
At noon, Jiang Li was absent-minded. His lunch break was very short. Ever since Chen An brought the hamster home, he had always been thinking about it.
Before I opened the employee meal, I received a photo on my phone. Fresh food was poured into a small yellow bowl, and the dog was lying on the bowl to eat.
Jiang Li felt relieved only after seeing it eat its meal.
Chen An lifted its chin with his index finger. With its orange-yellow hair and black eyes, it seemed to be standing still consciously. The scene was magical. It is said that hamsters cannot stay still for a second, but this one was very obedient.
He took out his phone and recorded a video, calling it "Guazi'er."
This name was given by Jiang Li because he discovered that this little thing especially liked to eat melon seeds on the first night it came to his house. It set its eyes on the melon seeds that were originally bought for itself and ate most of them. So when Chen An asked it for its name, Jiang Li was too lazy to come up with it and just called it Guazi.
Jiang Li received the video. Not only did he see it, but Xiaochun and Sister Qin also saw it. Sister Qin asked curiously, "Xiao Jiang, do you have a pet?"
Jiang Li nodded, "Yeah, hamster."
Xiaochun looked at the photo and liked it too. "What kind of breed is it? It looks so beautiful."
"White-rumped golden bear."
"Is it difficult to raise a pet?" Xiaochun also planned to raise a pet. "I want to have a pet too."
Jiang Li said, "It's OK. It's easy to take care of. As long as there's food and drink, it's fine."
Sister Qin said, "Hamsters are easy to raise, but you need to be careful about one thing: you might get bitten." She grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and started cracking them. "I once had a purple hamster. It bit me on the first day I got home. It made me bleed profusely."
Xiaochun opened her mouth wide, "That's so scary."
Sister Qin said, "I was sharing my apartment with my best friend, and it escaped that night. We searched all over the house for it, all night long!" She became increasingly excited as she spoke. "Do you know where we finally found it?"
"where?"
"In the bathroom, in the squat toilet, its fur was soaked. I thought it was dead, but after I dried it, it was alive and kicking the next day."
Jiang Li has not encountered the situations she described, but he does not rule out the possibility that he may encounter them in the future. Since Sun Qin has raised a pet before, he plans to learn more from her.
In fact, you don't have to go home to put food in the bowl. If you have work to do, you can prepare food for the day and put it in the bowl. But hamsters have different melon seeds from other hamsters. They have to eat them hot. If the smell is lost after a long time, they will not be happy to eat them.
This was verified by Jiang Li himself. Last night, when Chen An opened the door and returned home, he saw a hamster, one big and one small, sitting face to face. Jiang Li looked at it, and it also looked at Jiang Li. The hamster, one or two months old, stood straight with its hands tucked in front of its body, in a silent confrontation with its little master.
The sound of the door closing ended the confrontation. Jiang Li opened his mouth to complain, "Brother, it's so delicate."
Guazi put down its front wheels and ran quickly, twisting its butt. It rushed to the kitchen at an extremely fast speed and was easily caught by Chen An who bent down.
He casually placed the file bag on the table. The melon seeds looked particularly well-behaved in his hands. He said with a smile, "Why are you fussing with a hamster?"
Jiang Li curled his lips and continued, "It even overturned the pot, spilling food everywhere."
Chen An returned the melon seed to the cage, picked up some food and brought it to its mouth. The melon seed ate it immediately, "Isn't that pretty good?"
Jiang Li was furious and accused a hamster, "It's two-faced!"
