Through positioning, Zhuang Li discovered that his sister's mobile phone was at Xu's house and should have been saved by Huang Wei.
He used hacking techniques to cut off the Xu family's network, hacked into the housekeeper's phone, and waited silently.
A few minutes later, the housekeeper indeed called the telecommunications company's repair number, and the hacking software automatically connected the call to Zhuang Li's mobile phone.
Half an hour later, Zhuang Li, disguised as a maintenance worker, successfully entered the Xu family mansion and walked around the rooms upstairs and downstairs with a "signal strength detector".
When leaving, Xu's family's network was successfully connected, and Zhuang Li also got his sister's mobile phone.
After returning to the hotel, Zhuang Li carefully inspected the phone.
Yaya’s address book only contains friends and her mother, no classmates, and she has only a few dozen WeChat friends, almost all of whom are girls.
Zhuang Li checked Yaya's call records and found that she did not make any calls on the night ten days before her suicide.
But the surveillance video captured her making a phone call, so Zhuang Li checked the WeChat call records and found that she had sent two call requests to a friend named "Mephisto" during that period, but the other party did not answer.
Zhuang Li used this WeChat account to find the true identity of "Mephisto", but found that the mobile phone number was handled by an agent, and the agent was far away in L Province and was not worth tracking.
Mephisto's portrait is a golden apple with two bites taken out, which looks very beautiful.
The chat history between the other party and Yaya is very simple, consisting of some very ordinary greetings, such as:
It's getting cold, so dress warmly. Don't sacrifice warmth for style. Wearing only one pair of pants will give you cold legs.
Why didn't you eat breakfast today? I must remember to eat breakfast tomorrow. Why would you want to lose weight at such a young age?
[You look a little unhappy? What's wrong? Are you being bullied?]
[Are you sick? You look terrible. Do you need me to prescribe some medicine for you?]
At first, Yaya didn't reply a single word. But as time went on, after the other party's persistent care, she slowly began to respond.
But she is still very cautious and almost never talks about privacy. She only talks about some interesting things she encountered when playing cosplay, and also posts photos and videos of herself in two-dimensional costume.
Mephisto always praised her hobbies and said that she was very talented in this area and could try to pursue this path.
After enduring so much doubt and frustration, Yaya slowly opened up. She was always very passive, but she would occasionally send Mephisto a good night or good morning message.
But other than these mundane interactions, there was nothing out of the ordinary about their interactions. Although they were gradually becoming closer, they hadn't reached the point of being ambiguous; they seemed like just ordinary friends.
As a result, this Mephisto did not attract the attention of the police. He did not even appear in the police files. He was excluded from the case investigation.
Zhuang Li stared at Mephisto's portrait for a long time and said with certainty, "He must be related to Yaya's death."
7480 asked curiously: "Why?"
"Have you read 'Faust'? The devil who lured Faust into hell was called Mephistopheles. It comes from the Greek word for 'destroyer,' 'liar,' and 'one who does not love the light.'"
Zhuang Li pointed to Mephisto's radiant head and explained, "This is the apple from the Garden of Eden, bitten twice by Adam and Eve. This person's nickname and headshot are both metaphorical, representing a beautiful and pure heart that is tempted by the devil and led step by step towards destruction."
Zhuang Li closed his eyes and said in a cold voice, "How is it? Is it very similar to my sister's ending?"
7480 hugged himself and said fearfully, "But judging from the chat records, their relationship is very ordinary. Yaya wouldn't commit suicide for him, right?"
Zhuang Li opened his sister's chat history with others and instructed, "Take a look at how she chats with others."
A quick comparison revealed a problem. When chatting with others, Yaya was a complete topic-terminator, talking about the topic at hand and disappearing when nothing else happened, never saying anything nonsense. When someone sent a long message, she would simply reply with a "hmm, oh, okay," her attitude clearly cold.
However, when chatting with Mephisto, she can take the initiative to say good morning, good night, what she did today, whether she is happy or not, etc.
These ordinary chats are very precious to the quiet girl. If she didn't have so much love and care in her heart, she wouldn't do this.
Her heart was so cold that when she fell in love with someone, she didn't know how to express it.
However, she eventually realized that the other person's heart was colder than hers, and even contained a heartbreaking poison.
Their chat ended on the day Yaya attempted suicide by slitting her wrists for the first time. Her last message to him was a simple, nonsensical sentence: "You did it on purpose, didn't you?"
The police didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with this statement, so Mephisto avoided suspicion.
After this, the relationship between the two seemed to be severed.
But Zhuang Li knew that wasn't the case, otherwise Yaya wouldn't have attempted suicide a second time. She had believed that the world still held hope and warmth, but in the end, she had suffered the most devastating hurt.
Zhuang Li closed his eyes for a long time, unable to bear the thought of his sister's plain yet sincere greetings. She was just as happy at that moment as she was when she jumped from the tall building.
"This person is right next to her. They go to the same school. She can see her every day and communicate with her in real life. They know each other. They are either classmates or teacher and student." Zhuang Li covered his face and said in a hoarse voice.
7480 carefully read the chat log and nodded, "Really? He even knows what Yaya is wearing, whether she's had breakfast, and whether she looks good or not. He's monitoring Yaya."
"Why didn't Yaya go home after school but instead ran to the grove? That grove is the dating spot of Yuren High School. Who is she waiting for?" Zhuang Li asked with a sneer.
7480 speculated, "Master, could this Mephisto be one of those two tall boys?"
Zhuang Li had already found out the information of the two tall boys, but he did not jump to any conclusion.
He sent a friend request to Mephisto, but the other party naturally did not agree. However, this request was a virus that could automatically steal all information as long as it entered the other party's phone.
Zhuang Li quickly found Mephisto's chat history.
This account was indeed used by the other party to do evil. There were only two people in the friend list, one was Yaya and the other was "Baudelaire".
Baudelaire's portrait is a black lotus blooming in a purple pond, equally exquisite and beautiful.
As the only two friends, what is the significance of Baudelaire to Mephisto? Is he another target for seduction?
Zhuang Li opened the chat history between the two, but the contents were very different.
Although it was still Mephisto who initiated the conversation, his choice of words had completely changed. He treated Yaya politely, gently, and even with a touch of elder-like concern.
When it came to Baudelaire, he was as passionate as a fire.
[You look so beautiful today. I love your rosy lips.]
【Your proud look excites me. 】
【I dreamed of you last night, and you in my dream made me unable to stop. 】
Baudelaire didn't respond a word and his attitude was extremely cold.
It is obvious that Mephisto is just a dog to Baudelaire. To Yaya, he is hypocritical, but to Baudelaire, he devotes his loyalty and extremely strong love.
Zhuang Li flipped through the pages one by one, his eyes fixed on the chat record of the day when Yaya was treated inhumanely in the grove.
Mephisto: [I saw it all, dear. You are indeed a little scoundrel.]
Baudelaire ignored this.
Mephisto: [I can make her disappear.]
Baudelaire finally responded: [How did you make her disappear?]
Mephisto: [Do you know why she cut her wrists last time?]
Baudelaire: [Why?]
Mephisto: [She came to chat with me and told me all her secrets. Guess how I responded to her?]
Baudelaire: [? ]
Mephisto: [I told her—you're as filthy as they say. You should have seen her expression. She stared at me with wide eyes, as if she'd seen a ghost. She could never have guessed I would say that to her. Poor child, she thought I was her salvation, but in reality, I was the devil that would destroy her. That very night, she committed suicide.]
Baudelaire: [It's a pity that she was rescued again.]
Mephisto: [Yes, it's a pity. I could have given you this gift. But it doesn't matter. You prepared a gift for yourself this time, right?]
This afternoon, you overheard my conversation with her. Don't deny it, I saw your shadow through the crack in the door. I recognize your beautiful ponytail.
You knew she would wait for me in the grove, and I guessed what you were going to do to her. To be honest, I deliberately led you there to eavesdrop today, otherwise you would never have discovered that I knew her. I deliberately took her past your piano room. You saw us, right?
After school, I thought you would come and stop me from going to the woods. But you disappointed me. You just found a random follower to deal with me. I'm very unhappy. I might tell the police.
Baudelaire: What do you want?
Mephisto: [Give me a kiss, and I won't say anything. If you can go one step further, I will help you realize your wish.]
Baudelaire made no further response.
After that day, Yaya took sick leave and the two never talked again.
A few days later, Mephisto sent a message: "My dear, you are indeed more delicious than I imagined. I have received your reward, and you will receive my gift soon."
So seven days later, Yaya suddenly ran to school and jumped from a building more than ten stories high, and was smashed to pieces.
Mephisto took photos of Yaya's mutilated body and sent them to Baudelaire.
Baudelaire didn't reply a word, but she should be satisfied. After all, the remuneration she paid was high for an average woman.
Zhuang Li stared at the chat logs, his eyes dark as a boundless abyss. The temperature in the small dark room plummeted, and the icy spikes rising from the ground like sharp swords signaled his restlessness.
7480 ran away with his head in his hands, shouting for help.
After a long time, Zhuang Li slowly rubbed his eyebrows, and then continued to search for information about Huang Wei and Xu Yong.
Xu Yong is a successful entrepreneur who is also very keen on charity. He has donated to many out-of-school children and has been named one of China's top ten outstanding entrepreneurs several times. Apart from his infidelity that led to the breakup of two families, he has almost no other stains.
Coincidentally, his ex-wife suffered from depression after the divorce and also committed suicide.
Huang Wei's profile is quite interesting. She actually had two abortions. Why? Was it because Xu Yong was too protective of his daughter and didn't allow her to get pregnant?
Zhuang Li stared at the two abortion records with an extremely gloomy expression.
He quickly checked the abortion record and the time when Yaya took sick leave. His heart slowly tore open a bloody wound.
Everything Yaya had endured over the years was so miserable that he could not even imagine it. Her suffering was like an endless ocean, and everyone around her was an isolated island covered in poisonous thorns, refusing her to cling to her.
She could only float and sink in the sea of despair and eventually drowned.
Zhuang Li covered his face, took a deep breath, and spoke in a hoarse voice after a long moment: "I know why Yaya committed suicide. I also know who hurt her. You little idiot, this time I will really make everyone go to hell with her."
Looking at the frost in the small dark room slowly melting into blood, 7480, who was clinging to the wall like a gecko, shuddered for no reason.
