Wu Danyun had a huge argument with her, and during the argument she pushed Xia Yiru to the ground, "What's wrong with me liking Lin Ran? Just because you can go out with those directors and celebrities every day, I can't like anyone else?"
"It's because of you that Lin Ran looks down on me. Xia Yiru, do you know what kind of life I've been living recently? I don't want to continue living like this! Now I'm officially informing you that we're breaking up!"
Wu Danyun's hair was disheveled, but she was completely sober. She looked down at her condescendingly, as if she had turned the tables.
Xia Yiru was stunned on the ground, and Wu Danyun slammed the door and walked into the room.
Cheng Xiaoxiang said, "They had a fight. Did Xia Yiru do anything else afterwards?"
Xu Fangqin thought for a moment and said, "Later, Miss Xia restricted Miss Wu's movements and kept her at home for almost a month. She didn't let me stay with Miss Wu. I think she found her a new assistant named... Xiao Guo."
Cheng Xiaoxiang asked again: "Where is the assistant now?"
"She resigned before Xiaoyun became her assistant," Xu Fangqin said. "After resigning, Ms. Wu was able to come out and do activities, but her temper is much worse than before."
Cheng Xiaoxiang said, "Do you think Xia Yiru is the murderer of Wu Danyun?"
"Ah!" Xu Fangqin was horrified. "No way, Miss Xia is actually quite nice to her. Miss Xia is busy with the studio's affairs, but she also often makes time to accompany Miss Wu. They seem to have a good relationship."
Cheng Xiaoxiang knew what was going on and closed the notebook. "Contact me if you remember any details."
Chen An leaned back in his chair and watched the whole process. He didn't think Xia Yiru was the one who killed Wu Danyun, at least not at the moment.
Xia Yiru has been with Wu Danyun since college. From Xu Fangqin's description, Xia Yiru also loves Wu Danyun very much. Except for Lin Ran, the conflict between them does not seem to threaten any other interests. Even if Wu Danyun revolves around Lin Ran, Xia Yiru will only target Lin Ran, not Wu Danyun.
However, although Xia Yiru was not the murderer of Wu Danyun, she must be hiding other secrets.
After Xu Fangqin left the police station, Chen An also prepared to go out. He wanted to see Cen Yun again.
Before he left the house, Bai Shuo stopped him and said, "Boss, Wu Danyun's studio has issued a statement." He turned the monitor around to show him.
The statement only mentioned that those who spread rumors and insults would be sued, and no one mentioned Wu Danyun's death herself. It seems that she still wants to continue making money with this account.
"You asked me yesterday to check the true identity of the 'Troposphere' account, and I found it. Troposphere's real name is Meng Jia, and she's a full-time online writer. She started writing very early, in 2015, and officially retired from the internet at the beginning of 2024."
"Boss, guess who she is connected to?" Bai Shuo arched his eyebrows, deliberately being naughty.
"Cen Yun?"
"No." Bai Shuo clicked on the long comments, "Xia Yiru."
Chen An frowned and listened to him continue.
"Their connection can be traced back to October 22, when the preparations for 'The Legend of Liuguang' were just beginning. Xia Yiru opened a small account and accompanied her every day. Whenever she updated something, Xia Yiru would write a long review, sometimes to discuss the plot and sometimes to encourage her to continue writing. In short, she accompanied 'Troposphere' for quite a long time."
Chen An said: "Xia Yiru encouraged Wu Danyun to plagiarize the book 'Troposphere', but she herself played the role of a good reader in the 'Troposphere' comment section."
Bai Shuo also said, "Who says it's not true? Troposphere even had a lawsuit with Wu Danyun. Sigh, I wonder what Xia Yiru herself would think."
Lu Yuyao came out of the Trace Inspection Department and hurriedly found him, "Captain Chen, there's a new discovery!"
Xia Yiru left the police station and went home to take a shower. She had a dinner party in the evening. The guests were all big directors and screenwriters. She had to take the opportunity to make more friends with some film producers. After taking a shower, she picked out some clean clothes and put on some light makeup, but her cell phone suddenly lit up.
She picked up her phone and was startled by the pinned message.
She did know "Troposphere", and not only that, she was very familiar with her. She even knew her home address. Last Mid-Autumn Festival, Xia Yiru even sent something to Meng Jia.
But, the dead person suddenly sent her a message.
[Miss Xia, long time no see.]
She was so scared that she dropped her phone on the ground. The tempered glass instantly cracked like a spider web, and the pinned message stopped moving.
Xia Yiru took a deep breath, calmed down and thought, what if someone else logged into her account?
It must be fake, she comforted herself.
Then she tremblingly reached for the phone on the ground, and it vibrated again, but this time she was not scared.
"Hello?"
"Sister Xia, I want to ask you something."
It’s Cen Yun.
Xia Yiru calmed down and said, "If you have anything to say, just talk on the phone."
"I think I should tell her face to face. I think I know who killed her."
Xia Yiru hesitated for a moment and agreed, "Okay, when do you want to meet?"
"Tonight, tonight, see you at Moshi Park."
In order to see her, Xia Yiru even turned down tonight's social engagements. She really wanted to know who killed Wu Danyun. If she knew, she would definitely make that person pay the price!
She changed out of her dress, picked out a low-key outfit, and went out wearing a baseball cap.
After driving for three and a half hours, she finally arrived at Moshi Park in Changping County.
Putting down the bag, he asked straight to the point: "Tell me, what do you know?"
Cen Yun coughed twice and said, "I think I should ask you this question, Sister Xia."
Xia Yiru was already in a bad mood. She was interrogated by the police last night and just came back this morning. She had to postpone the dinner party she was supposed to attend, but now this man was just playing dumb with her.
"What do you mean? If you have something to say, just say it. Stop trying to be mysterious!"
After saying that, he stood up to leave. The other person's voice came from behind him, weak but firm.
"You know the Troposphere is dead, right?"
Xia Yiru's body stiffened, and she clenched her handbag with her five fingers. "What troposphere? I'm still in the stratosphere. If you really don't have anything else, I'll go back first!"
Cen Yun ignored her and continued, "In 2015, Meng Jia opened the account Shao Guang and officially began serializing novels. In 2018, she abandoned Shao Guang and established a new account, Troposphere. In January 2022, Qing Shu was officially serialized. In November 2022, Wu Danyun plagiarized and became a hit. She sued the original author in court. Meng Jia lost the case and committed suicide due to depression. And you knew all of this and were closely involved in it."
Her voice was hoarse, but each time it became stronger and stronger.
She stood up and approached Xia Yiru step by step. "You communicated with her on the forum, and on the surface encouraged her to continue writing. You said you believed in her, but in fact you just wanted to use her, to use her to write better articles for you to copy. She became your blood bag."
Xia Yiru turned around abruptly, "No!"
Cen Yun's eyes were as dark as the abyss, and the dark circles under her eyes only accentuated her ghostly aura. She said lightly, "Isn't it?"
Xia Yiru took a step back and denied: "No!"
She rushed to defend herself, "No, I really admire her! I really, I really admire her! Every time I communicate with her in the comment section, I am sincere. I really think she is very talented!"
Cen Yun narrowed his eyes, seemingly unconvinced. "Really? Don't you only care about Wu Danyun? Don't you love her anymore?"
Xia Yiru didn't know why her mind was confused, and a drop of sweat slid down her face. "I did like her very much before, but, but I found that she was not as talented as I thought. I only loved the time she spent with me. I actually admire Meng Jia. She is excellent, talented, gentle and generous. I feel unprecedented ease and joy when communicating with her." As she said this, she actually laughed.
Cen Yun felt disgusted. "You said you admired her, but you watched Wu Danyun sue her, watched her suffer from depression, and watched her slit her wrists and die! You are so selfish."
She edged closer, cornering Xia Yiru. She continued, "Do you think you love Wu Danyun? You don't love her at all. You just love her because she's obedient and easy to control. Back in school, she was weak and self-conscious, and you could easily manipulate her because you knew she couldn't leave you. But Wu Danyun gradually developed a temper of her own. She realized that the deformed love you gave her wasn't what she wanted. When this little beast used her claws, you were scared, so you locked her up and tried to wear down her temper, but you didn't expect it to work."
"You said you admired Meng Jia, but you pushed her into hell. You said you loved Wu Danyun, but you killed her with your own hands." Half of Cen Yun's face was hidden in the darkness, but his originally dark eyes shone in the night, flashing with the light of prey. "The one who killed Wu Danyun is you!"
Xia Yiru's body trembled slightly, her heart and breathing became less smooth, and she seemed to really start to wonder whether it was her fault.
At this moment, she did not notice the movement in Cen Yun's sleeve. The syringe was filled with liquid and her right hand was shaking slightly.
"stop!"
Outside the pavilion, several police cars surrounded the area. Chen An and several police officers raised their guns and shouted, "Cen Yun, put it down!"
Xia Yiru woke up as if from a dream and tried to run out, but Cen Yun grabbed her hair and kicked her in the knee. Xia Yiru knelt on the ground in pain. Cen Yun stepped on her knee with one leg and pointed the needle at her aorta, "Don't come over!"
