Chapter 160 (Two in One)
When she saw Liu Chongsen, Lin Shuyue's 80% guess became 100%.
He Wanqing’s disappearance was definitely caused by Liu Chongsen.
Apparently, she was not the only one who thought like this. Feng Qinqin ran towards Liu Chongsen and Lin Shuyue couldn't stop her.
In the blink of an eye, Feng Qinqin was beside Liu Chongsen.
"A net of stinky salted fish, where did you take Wanqing? Return her to me immediately!" Feng Qinqin was almost going crazy because she couldn't find He Wanqing. Like her, He Wanqing is the only daughter in the family, and her parents value her very much.
Even now, when He Wanqing is 24 years old, her parents still keep a close eye on her. Feng Qinqin couldn't even imagine how sad her parents would be if something really happened to He Wanqing. And what kind of accusation should she receive as she came here with He Wanqing?
This is not the first or second time that He Wanqing's parents have criticized her. They have a strong desire to control He Wanqing and will stop her if she shows any sign of escaping their control. The first people they would clean out would definitely be He Wanqing’s friends.
For example, the female classmate I mentioned to Lin Shuyue last night, for example, her. However, she never left He Wanqing's side. She always felt that she had defended the friendship between her and He Wanqing.
But now, she hesitated. He Wanqing had always been a very nice person before, but this time, the incident with the pollack in her net made Feng Qinqin see the word "stubborn" in her.
No, it's not just stubbornness, it's more like madness.
A net of pollack, and Liu Chongsen took a step back after being pushed by Feng Qinqin.
He quickly stood still, and saw the journalists taking pictures of them from the corner of his eyes. His expression remained unchanged: "Madam, what happened? Can we talk it over?"
"Where is He Wanqing? I ask you, where is He Wanqing?" Feng Qinqin stepped forward and grabbed Liu Chongsen's clothes. `
"I really don't know." Liu Chongsen looked helpless: "How about this, you call the police, okay?"
Feng Qinqin stared at Liu Chongsen for several seconds, then took out her cell phone to call the police.
As soon as the police were notified, Liu Chongsen's first sculpture exhibition took a turn for the worse. No one cares about how good Liu Chongsen's works are anymore, or how long it will take for him to have new works released. Everyone's eyes were on the missing He Wanqing.
There was a lot of discussion at the scene. Liu Chongsen stood in the center with a slight smile on his face. He looked at everyone calmly. He even had the mood to comfort the audience.
Lin Shuyue and Hang Jiabai stood on the periphery, watching Liu Chongsen's behavior: "Abai, tell me, does He Wanqing's disappearance have anything to do with him?"
Hang Jiabai said: "I haven't checked it yet, so I can't come to a conclusion yet, but from what you told me, there is a 50% chance."
As a police officer, we should look at the evidence first. A 50 percent chance is already very high.
Hang Jiabai's gaze lingered on Liu Chongsen for a moment and fell on the statue of the "goddess in the dream".
After watching for a long time, Feng Qinqin was also pulled away by the security guard. When he came back to them, he suddenly remembered something: "Ayue, lend me your computer."
"Okay." Lin Shuyue handed the bag to Hang Jiabai.
Hang Jiabai opened Lin Shuyue's bag, stepped over a lot of miscellaneous things and an angular brick, and took out the computer wrapped in a computer inner bag.
They found a place with seats, Hang Jiabai boarded his own penguin and found Zuo Xiangfeng's penguin.
Zuo Xiangfeng hasn't been on the Penguin for many years. There are many photos in the Penguin Space album, all of them are of him and Shi Muyuan.
Hang Jiabai flipped through the pages and finally found a photo taken six years ago.
"Ayue, look, does this photo look like the goddess of freedom in the dream?" Hang Jiabai called Lin Shuyue over.
Lin Shuyue leaned over to take a look. In the photo, Shi Muyuan was wearing a white, off-shoulder, slim-fitting wedding dress.
Her hair was slightly loose and she wore a wreath of sunflowers on her head.
This photo was taken with Zuo Xiangfeng. At that time, Zuo Xiangfeng was looking at her on the right, so her expression was particularly gentle.
Lin Shuyue took a look at the photo and then looked at the statue of the "goddess of her dream".
The goddess in the dream had a wreath of lilies on her head. Only one shoulder of her upper body was covered with clothes, which extended from her chest to her hips, with a lot of folds to highlight her slender waist. The other side is naked, revealing the delicate collarbone and breasts.
Her right hand is facing down, just like in the photo, as if she is walking towards "you".
Lin Shuyue and Hang Jiabai looked at each other with serious eyes. Feng Qinqin looked at the photo while looking at the statue.
Then, her eyes widened as she suddenly realized, "This guy is so shameless. He actually used someone else's photo to make a sculpture. Ugh."
Feng Qinqin pouted.
Lin Shuyue and Hang Jiabai listened and said nothing. They all knew that sculptures that were this similar could no longer be described as "copycat".
Hang Jiabai sent this photo to Zuo Xiangfeng, then packed up his computer and returned his backpack to
To Lin Shuyue.
He told Lin Shuyue: "I am just a student at the Public Security University. It is not my turn to weigh the pros and cons."
Humans are not plants or trees, so who can be heartless? Hang Jiabai watched his senior brother fall from being a genius to his current state. Even though Zuo Xiangfeng has now become a leader in the field of novelists.
But in Hang Jiabai's opinion, Zuo Xiangfeng should be the one who shines in the criminal investigation industry.
This place is very close to the police station, and the police arrived quickly. There were four people in total, all very young, and the oldest was no more than 40 years old. There was no expression on their faces. After arriving, they first asked routine questions to the person who called the police.
Feng Qinqin walked to the front and explained the whole story.
At this time, Liu Chongsen on the side seemed to have just realized what was going on. After Feng Qinqin finished speaking, he said to the police.
"I know this He Wanqing, He Wanqing, right? But we are just idols and fans." Liu Chongsen pushed his glasses on his nose: "She took the initiative to contact me through email. We usually call each other by our nicknames. Her name is Fei Niao."
When Liu Chongsen talked about this, he asked his assistant to take out his computer and open it in front of them to show them.
The first email I read was from He Wanqing: "Please take a look, police officers. These are all the emails she sent me. I waited until she sent the fifth email before I replied to her. After that, our contact frequency was not very high."
"This email was our last contact. She said she wanted to see the sculptures I made, so I invited her to my studio. We visited for about three hours, and then she went back. We never contacted each other again."
Liu Chongsen is very frank. The youngest policeman who came looked at him, took the computer, and started reading the emails one by one.
He was looking at the computer, and other policemen were not idle either. Lin Shuyue and Xing Jiabai, who were traveling with the person who called the police, were also being questioned.
People from the exhibition organizer also came in a hurry.
Half an hour later, the police learned all the circumstances. But the result of the police dispatch was the same as the disappearance of Xu Simiao from Yangcheng University. No case would be filed for an adult within 48 hours, unless He Wanqing's parents came in person or produced evidence that He Wanqing had been killed.
Feng Qinqin had no solution. First, she had not yet told He Wanqing's parents that He Wanqing was missing. Second, she could not produce any evidence that He Wanqing had been murdered.
Fortunately, the police are not incompetent. In accordance with regulations, they asked the organizer of the exhibition to provide the surveillance video in the venue. The male receptionist from the exhibition organizer was no longer tough and nodded and bowed in front of the police.
Lin Shuyue chuckled, feeling it was an eyesore, and turned away.
The young policeman had read all the emails. After learning that such an important exhibition hall and club had no surveillance cameras, his face turned cold and he started scolding.
Starting from October this year, a regulation was issued that any large commercial venue must install surveillance cameras. Liu Chongsen's exhibition will be held in this place for three days, and many people come every day.
Not installing a camera is simply nonsense!
The male receptionist was scolded so badly in the morning that he couldn't even raise his head. Several other police officers questioned He Wanqing about her disappearance, taking notes as they went along.
Although a case cannot be filed, the necessary police records must still be kept. Otherwise it's their fault.
There were about eighty people at the scene. The police questioned everyone present, but no trace of He Wanqing was found. We searched all the places in the exhibition hall where people could hide, but did not find He Wanqing.
After the police left, Lin Shuyue and the other two were kicked out by the security guards of the convention center.
It was already past four o'clock and it was getting dark outside. The three of them were a little hungry, so they ordered a pancake with shredded potatoes, spicy strips and ham sausage on the roadside and ate while chatting.
It seemed like they were not worried about He Wanqing's disappearance. Feng Qinqin's face looked really bad. She called the hotel, but He Wanqing didn't go back. She called He Wanqing, but her phone was turned off.
Feng Qinqin's face turned very ugly. After she took out her cell phone and reported the matter to the newspaper leader, she sat down quietly and ate pancakes. After finishing a pancake, she took several deep breaths and called He Wanqing's mother.
Almost as soon as the phone rang, it was picked up: "You still remember to call us? He Wanqing, do you know how many things your parents missed this afternoon just to wait for your call? How long did they wait?"
The voice from the other end of the phone was sharp and stern. Lin Shuyue and Hang Jiabai looked at each other, and Hang Jiabai handed the soy milk in his hand to Lin Shuyue.
On a cold day, a cup of soy milk like this is very warming.
The voice coming from Feng Qinqin's cell phone made her raise her eyebrows. She drank soy milk and looked at Feng Qinqin.
Feng Qinqin looked very unhappy and her whole state was extremely tense.
After the person on the other end of the phone finished speaking, Feng Qinqin said, "Auntie, this is Feng Qinqin. This afternoon, we came to visit the sculpture exhibition hall, and Wanqing disappeared. We called the police, but we couldn't find her."
Lin Shuyue listened to the sharp voice on the other end of the phone pause for a while, and then the voice became louder.
"Feng Qinqin, right? You went out with my Wanqing, why didn't you take a liking to her? Why wasn't it you who got lost? Tell me, are you jealous of my Wanqing because she's prettier than you and has better grades than you at the newspaper office, so you're jealous of her and want to bully her?"
He's mother's words made Hang Jiabai look sideways.
Feng Qinqin tightly grasped her phone: "I don't have an aunt, we are here to have fun together, and we came to the sculpture exhibition hall to participate in this exhibition because of Wanqing's suggestion..."
Before Feng Qinqin could finish her words, He's mother interrupted her firmly: "Impossible! My Wanqing never likes to watch any plastic or sculpture exhibitions. Feng Qinqin, Feng Qinqin, I have long seen that you are a worthless person! You just think that my Wanqing is better than you, so you try every means to lead my Wanqing astray."
"She is just stupid and can't see your evil ambitions! I am not Wanqing. I can see your little tricks clearly! I tell you, Feng Qinqin, call Wanqing out immediately after you finish the draft. Otherwise, I will take Wanqing's father and I to the capital, and you will be in trouble."
Before Feng Qinqin could refute, the phone was hung up with a click.
Lin Shuyue looked at Feng Qinqin. Feng Qinqin was silent for a while and then gave a wry smile.
Lin Shuyue couldn't help but ask: "Has He Wanqing's mother always been like this?"
He Wanqing's temperament is too gentle, and Lin Shuyue really can't imagine that she has such a mother. In her stereotype, a family that can cultivate a temperament like He Wanqing, not to mention the magic claw novel website, the parents must be well-educated and well-mannered, right?
People like He's mother have nothing to do with being well-educated and well-mannered. Just based on the few words she started to talk about, many people would believe that she was an old woman who was throwing a tantrum at the village entrance.
Feng Qinqin rubbed her face and said, "Wanqing and I only met in college. In the first two years, our relationship was not so good. I only knew that Wanqing was a beautiful girl in the department and a good student."
"Later, in our junior year, we became acquainted and became good friends because we joined a club together. We also have a good friend, Xia Mengmeng, who is the girl I told you about last night."
"After graduation, we returned to our hometown together and interned at the same newspaper. We worked for different mentors. On the day I wrote a report on my own, I was sleeping at home when I received a call from Wanqing's mother."
As if she remembered the phone call she received that day, Feng Qinqin looked a little embarrassed: "The way she spoke and the content of her words were similar to today. The general meaning was that I snatched Wanqing's opportunity to stand out, and I approached her because of ulterior motives. But that time, Wanqing snatched the phone away before she finished speaking."
"Afterwards, Wanqing came to me at night and apologized to me. She cried and told me many things about her life since she was a child. I forgave her."
"The second time was during the Chinese New Year last year. I was having dinner at home when she called me and said that I had corrupted Wanqing because she never read novels before, but now she was bringing novels home. Wanqing also apologized to me, and I forgave her."
Feng Qinqin cherishes her friendship with He Wanqing very much. She really likes He Wanqing's personality, so even if her mother spoke rudely, Feng Qinqin didn't care. At most, they could introduce each other to each other in the future.
But when it came to the moment when she actually came into contact with He Wanqing's parents, Feng Qinqin still felt resistance from the bottom of her heart.
Lin Shuyue felt particularly sympathetic towards Feng Qinqin and patted her on the shoulder. Nothing else was said.
As I said, don’t get involved in other people’s emotions easily, whether it’s family or friends. Feng Qinqin had met He Wanqing's mother before. Even after knowing everything about her, she still decided to be good friends with He Wanqing. She must have thought it through.
How long has she known Feng Qinqin? It's only been less than three days, who does she think she is to interfere? ■
But if you put yourself in her shoes, if your friend was in the same situation as He Wanqing, she would probably stay away from him. It’s not that He Wanqing is a bad person, it’s just that it’s too stressful to get along with her.
As a bystander, Lin Shuyue felt suffocated by what her mother just said.
Someone came out of the exhibition hall and saw Lin Shuyue and the other two. Some curious people came over.
"Girls, haven't you found that friend yet?" The speaker was a girl in her twenties. Her first words were to address Lin Shuyue and the others as brothers and sisters, and she was very familiar with them.
"No." Feng Qinqin was in a bad mood, so Lin Shuyue came up to her and started talking to her.
"Sister, do you have any clues?"
"No, we arrived when the police arrived. So how could the person disappear? Look at this exhibition center, it only has two floors, and most of the second floor is offices. There is no place to hide people on the first floor. There are some on the second floor, but it's broad daylight and there are a lot of people. Can your friend, if he has three heads and six arms, run away from underground?" The girl spoke very quickly with a strong Tianjin accent.
Maybe Lin Shuyue read too many jokes in her previous life. When she heard people from Tianjin speaking, she thought of a certain crosstalk and wanted to laugh. Although it was inappropriate to laugh at this moment when He Wanqing was missing, she couldn't help it.
The girl from Tianjin was warm and generous. Seeing Lin Shuyue, a very energetic girl, smiling at her, she smiled too: "Sister, I work in the mall at the back door of the convention and exhibition center. If you have time to come to me, I will give you a discount. Remember to find me at the cosmetics counter of Xshengtang."
"Okay." After Lin Shuyue said that, the girl from Tianjin ran away. Lin Shuyue watched her strike up a conversation with others in the same way.
She turned her head to look at Hang Jiabai: "Does she just want to promote her cosmetics to me?"
"It looks like it." Hang Jiabai said, looking at her and Feng Qinqin, "Let's split up now and look for He Wanqing nearby, shall we?"
The person disappeared in the convention center. There are only two exits here, and there is not even a basement. It is not easy to transport a living person out.
Darkness is the best time for delivery, and night is also the best cover.
"Let's go." Lin Shuyue responded, and the three of them walked towards the back together.
Passing by the entrance of the exhibition hall, Lin Shuyue saw from the good and evil radar system that Liu Chongsen was still inside the exhibition hall.
The back door of the exhibition hall is a residential street. A medium-sized shopping mall is in the center of the street. Along the two sides, most of the shops are food shops. Lin Shuyue's eyes fell on a Weilu Malatang restaurant.
The store is very small. In the center is a stove about 8 meters long. In the stove are several huge trays filled with soup. Each tray contains a lot of hot food that is bubbling.
Waves of white mist floated up, covering the lights in the store.
"Let's go to that store and take a look." Hang Jiabai has been a criminal policeman for many years. At first glance, he saw the Weilu Malatang restaurant. In this regard, he is just like Lin Shuyue, great minds think alike.
Feng Qinqin already knew Hang Jiabai's occupation, so now she just did whatever they said.
When they arrived at the Malatang restaurant, they saw two familiar faces as soon as they entered the door.
"Senior Brother. Jiabai." The people who were eating inside saw Hang Jiabai and immediately stood up and greeted Hang Jiabai.
Even Lin Shuyue was shocked.
Yes, she and Hang Jiabai were together the whole time today. From beginning to end, except for the time when she was taking the statement, she did not see Hang Jiabai talking to them at all.
Hang Jiabai smiled at the group, exchanged a few pleasantries with them, and then introduced the two parties: "Ayue, let me introduce you to our classmates from the same school. Here are Xu Yu and Zhou Xuan."
"This is my boyfriend, Lin Shuyue."
The one called Xu Yu was the young policeman who looked at Liu Chongsen’s computer at the convention and exhibition center in the afternoon. The other one was older. Lin Shuyue’s only impression of him was his back as he was busy taking statements from the people who were in the exhibition hall at the time.
After calling Lin Shuyue sister-in-law, the two of them sat down together. Feng Qinqin sat next to Lin Shuyue and met the two policemen in the afternoon, but she was not happy at all.
Now, whenever she thought of He Wanqing's parents coming, she felt suffocated.
Hang Jiabai put some sesame paste and chopped green onions on a plate tied with a plastic bag, gave one plate to Lin Shuyue first, and then continued to serve the second plate.
Xu Yu took a chicken wing and put it in sesame sauce, saying, "We have checked. This guy named Liu Chongsen had no name at all in Huabai Academy of Fine Arts before. He became famous two years ago."
"The so-called Goddess in the Dream, Son of the Sun God, and Mother God were all works that appeared in the same period. It can be said that he was very productive. But after these three statues appeared, there were no famous statues."
Zhou Xuan came and took a bunch of gluten and put it in the sesame sauce bowl: "Do you think that there is a statue that looks particularly like Xiang Feng's girlfriend?"
Before Hang Jiabai could reply, a voice so cold that ice could drop from it appeared in his ears: "It's not like, it's that."
"Come with me, let's smash the statue. I want to see what's inside the statue."
"Don't worry, I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong. If there's nothing inside that ghost statue, I'll pay for it. If there's something inside, hold me back, or I'll kill that idiot on the spot."
