Loxin Amusement Park
In order to get rid of his suspicion, Cai Li simply erased all traces of Cheng Nuoxin's presence in the amusement park the night before.
As for where Cheng Nuoxin went that day, I believe he couldn't know it completely.
From this perspective, there are always intricate connections that can lead to clues that have not been discovered many years ago.
The tourist bus stopped in front of the bus station, and Lin He got off the bus first, making an excuse that he had something to do.
This place is near their new media company. With the help of the navigation on the mobile phone, they just turned a corner and arrived at the building where the company is located.
"This is it."
When I came out of the elevator, I saw the White Bear Network Technology sign standing prominently on my left.
The company does not occupy a large area and consists of several units connected on the same floor.
I had just entered the company and arrived at the tea room first. A middle-aged man was taking a can of drink out of the refrigerator. When he closed the refrigerator door with his arm, he caught a glimpse of a few people.
His originally relaxed expression suddenly turned gloomy, and he spoke in a bad tone: "Why are you back so soon? Didn't we agree to finish shooting a full day's worth of footage?"
He was not very optimistic about the topic of the amusement park. If these newcomers had not repeatedly assured him that they could definitely save the account, he would never have let them go.
Now that I see these people coming back so quickly, I feel that I didn’t take any particularly valuable footage and I even wasted money on the amusement park tickets.
"Once I've shot enough material, of course I'll come back."
Gao Wenwen stepped forward and when he saw his expression, he couldn't help but want to curb his arrogance.
"You come back so soon, what can you possibly take pictures of?" The boss obviously didn't believe what he said.
Shi Yan looked over and said, "Mr. Xu, didn't you see the trending searches?"
Actually, Boss Xu didn't have anything important to do in the office all morning. He chatted with his drinking buddies for a while, and after eating takeout, he felt sleepy and went for a nap.
I just woke up and felt a little thirsty, so I was about to go out and get a cold drink to cool off.
Of course, I haven’t had time to notice what’s happening on the Internet, but as a boss, there’s no way I can admit that I’m slacking off.
He touched the tip of his nose and said, "I'm so busy with my work every day, I don't have time to keep looking at my phone. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
Shi Yan took out the scene she had filmed with her mobile phone. There were a lot of people taking photos in the crowd at that time, and the video had already been uploaded to the Internet.
After just a few glances, Mr. Xu snatched the phone away, his eyes lighting up. But then he tutted, "With so many people filming, the video should be all over the internet."
The scenes photographed by tourists are all similar, and if they are released now, they will probably fall into oblivion.
"That's true, but Mr. Xu, who do you think is that person on the carousel?"
President Xu zoomed in on the screen and looked for a moment before realizing it was the employee standing next to him. "Xiao Gao, why are you there? You're on a business trip today, and you brought your kids with you?"
"Of course not," Gao Wenwen straightened his shoulders. "How can I get firsthand information without such an excuse?"
Mr. Xu raised his eyebrows, his joy evident in his expression. "So, you got firsthand information?"
The view was blocked by a wooden horse, and later the security guards in the park also followed and blocked the front. Even though the tourists were recording, they were not able to take any useful pictures.
Instead, it was Gao Wenwen, who was at the center of the accident, who obtained first-hand information through a hidden camera.
"Of course, it's right here." Gao Wenwen took off the camera that was previously clipped on his collar.
They occasionally use this portable camera when reporting news. It is more convenient than handheld devices and can record at any time, from a first-person perspective.
It was actually a coincidence that I took the photo just now. Gao Wenwen originally wanted to use it to record the experience of the amusement facilities, but then so many things happened and I forgot to take it off.
There are also scenes in which Cai Li's bodyguard tried to harm them, but the matter has not been investigated to this point, and it is difficult to explain how they managed to escape unscathed from being surrounded by a group of big men without even suffering a single injury.
These clips had been deleted on the way here, and what was handed to Mr. Xu was just the footage of the criminal investigation team leader in the back checking the nylon bag.
"The angle isn't very good, but there's hope." Mr. Xu's eyes became more and more kind, completely ignoring the fact that there was actually a corpse inside. To him, this was more like treasure.
Once this video is posted online, it will be ahead of the news received by the media at the amusement park.
The police will not give any positive response to the media before confirming the facts of the case. The period before the police report is the golden period for publishing articles.
The fairy tale paradise of the citizens' childhood once witnessed a murder, so this topic is sure to get a lot of readers.
If you are lucky, the income your account can earn directly from this article can reach ten times or even a hundred times.
Thinking of this, Mr. Xu's face turned red with excitement.
"Alright, I'll write this article myself. You've worked hard, and if you're tired, you can go home and rest. I'll give you two days of paid leave."
Young people dare not be too radical in doing things. If the words they use are lukewarm and fail to achieve the desired effect, it will be a waste of time and effort.
You still have to rely on yourself. Mr. Xu has already started to imagine the scene of himself gaining popularity in the industry again through this article. His eyes were blank when he spoke.
Then he immediately turned around and left without any regrets.
There were several people crowded in the narrow passage, and he didn't even notice the presence of the stranger Lin He.
"No? How could he just blatantly take the things away? If I were really his employee, I would probably be furious."
Gao Wenwen glanced at Mr. Xu's back speechlessly.
Ding Can walked a few steps forward to the office area and looked at the few empty seats in the corner.
"That's fine. That's not why we came here anyway. We have time to find out what we want."
There were several idle computers in the office, and Lin He found a place to sit down.
When it comes to memories, he and Ding Can have the most, and they can recall their whereabouts on the two days when the incident happened.
Ding Can stopped in front of his workstation, opened the search engine, and his fingers stopped a few centimeters away from the keyboard.
More than a decade has passed, and the city has been constantly changing. It is difficult for a store to survive for two or three years now, let alone such a long time. I don’t know if it can be done.
She closed her eyes and began to recall. After entering the scene, she was in a flower shop. There was no particularly obvious sign inside.
While the clerk was introducing himself... there seemed to be a few words printed on the apron he was wearing.
Ming Appreciation Flower Art! Thinking of it, Ding Can entered the name of the flower shop to search. A lot of information popped up, but he didn't find what he was looking for.
There are quite a few people with the same name.
Internet technology was not well developed back then. If the flower shop had not been able to operate until now, it would have been very difficult to find any clues.
The flower shop didn't work, so she tried searching for the coffee shop across the street.
However, I found someone mentioning it in a post. He said he had just returned from abroad and remembered a type of coffee he had drunk before. The barista’s skills were very good.
Not only was the store name mentioned, but the location at that time was also marked.
Ding Can located the street on the map software, but he didn't find any coffee shops in a similar location, not even any beverage-related stores.
"Sister Can, can I go with you to look for it?"
Gao Wenwen of course also remembered this street. Maybe if the two of them went there, they would be able to think of some small details that they had not noticed before.
Xia Jialian's eyes were still fixed on the computer screen. "You two go ahead. Let's check the online posts carefully to see if we can find any other clues."
As the night progresses, Cai Li's room for maneuver becomes larger, and it will be difficult to expose him.
Ding Can nodded: "Okay, let's get in touch if there's any progress."
When she stood up, she saw Lin He standing up as well. She paused and said, "Do you want to join us?"
"No, I'm going to the police station." Lin He adjusted his cufflinks while speaking.
"What are you going to the police station for?" Gao Wenwen glanced over with a puzzled look on his face.
Lin He spread his hands and said, "Be a witness. What if I happen to be able to provide clues to the case back then? I guess that's exactly what the police are lacking right now."
A case that has been dormant for many years has been brought up again, and it will be very difficult to find relevant witnesses from that time.
The network of relationships alone is enough to keep you busy for a while.
Although they knew that the body taken away from the carousel was Cheng Nuoxin, they still needed to conduct a DNA comparison before they could officially file a case.
Lin He was thinking of this and decided to go to the police first and let them start the investigation.
"But you..." Shi Yan didn't know what to say.
"Don't forget, I've experienced what happened to Cai Li, and I even understand his psychology very well."
When Lin He said this, Ding Can looked over and the figure in front of him inexplicably overlapped with the figure of the young Cai Li he had seen in the illusion not long ago.
She paused where she was, curling her fingers hidden in her sleeves. Without saying anything, she simply tugged at the hem of Gao Wenwen's clothes and said, "Let's go. It'll take us a while to find him."
After leaving the company gate, Gao Wenwen spoke suspiciously: "Sister Can, why do I feel that you look at Lin He strangely?"
On the way back from the amusement park, I noticed that the atmosphere between the two of them was a bit strange. I had never heard them talk much.
It seems like it's difficult to get along naturally when staying in the same space.
Ding Can shrugged. This wasn't a secret to her. "It's normal for someone who killed you to behave a little strangely when he's standing next to you."
Besides, it was just a subconscious reaction in my mind, and everything would be back to normal in no time.
"Then don't you dislike me too?" Gao Wenwen actually didn't stay in the illusion for a long time, so he just thought of it as watching an immersive short film, but he understood her situation.
"That's great that you know," Ding Can said, still in the mood to joke with him. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Why don't you go hail a taxi?"
"Okay." Gao Wenwen took a big stride and stood by the road, waving his hand with an aura that could stop hundreds of taxis.

"What's your impression?"
In less than half an hour, the car stopped at an intersection. Gao Wenwen looked at the road and found it was very different from what he remembered.
What's more, he was secretly tracking Cheng Nuoxin's whereabouts at the time, and his attention was all on her, so he had no time to observe other buildings on the street.
If nothing had changed, I might still remember it clearly, but now it seems...
Ding Can glanced at the Q&A post again and said, "Let's ask around along the streets first. Maybe we can find some useful clues."
At least she remembered that the flower shop and cafe were located close to the center, and if some of the old businesses were still there, she might have friends she had known for more than ten years.
After asking around at several stores, I found out that all the employees were young people, and most of them were newcomers.
When they reached the door of the next store, Gao Wenwen's eyes lit up: "Look at this."
There is an enlarged sign with an interview picture on it. This is a 30-year-old brand that has been interviewed by the city’s TV stations.
In front of the door was a roll-up photo of an old lady wearing a white chef's hat. The old lady had a kind smile on her face as she served bone soup from the soup pot.
"Although many years have passed, maybe I can still remember it." He pushed open the door, and the bell on the door handle made a crisp sound.
It's not meal time now, so there aren't too many people in the store, and there are only two staff members left.
When they saw new customers, they greeted them warmly: "Hello, are you two? We can order at the counter or scan the code to order at the table."
Ding Can paused and said, "Let's order at the counter. Any recommendations?"
The waiter smiled and said, "Our soups are definitely the first choice. They are both healthy and delicious. You saw the sign at the door. Our founder has made a very good profit. Even though he is old now, he still comes to the store regularly to cook for a few days each week."
