"I've noticed that he hasn't seemed to pick up his pen again for many days. Although he still seems happy when he's with me, I can see the disappointment in his eyes. What should I do? Should I give him another push? Or should I wait a few more days?"
“We’ve known each other for a year, and I completely forgot about such an important day. Thankfully, he remembered. On this special anniversary, the surprises he prepared were enough to make me happy for a long time. He booked the big screen in the central square to express his love to me. He booked the most luxurious Western restaurant for a candlelight dinner with me. It’s been so long, so long since I’ve felt such warmth.”
"I've made up my mind, I'll help him one more time. Seeing him so depressed, I just can't bear it..."
The diary entry essentially ended there. Wang Shen had roughly finished reading it, but a question lingered in his mind. He tapped his muddled head, but the question remained unclear. Later, even Wang Shen himself forgot exactly when he fell asleep.
The next day, Wang Shen sat up in bed and saw the diary on the bedside table. He stared at it for a long time, pondering the vague question that had lingered the day before. From the diary, it was clear that Han Mo had a man she deeply loved. Moreover, Han Mo's description of this man was almost identical to that of Lin Su.
He wears size 39.5 shoes, is from Sichuan, loves spicy food, and the dates recorded in his diary perfectly match the time when Lin Su published his novel. Anyone with clear logical reasoning skills, possessing this diary and understanding these characteristics of Lin Su, would easily conclude that Lin Su is the man Han Mo deeply loves.
But Xu Xiaolin said she didn't find any clues in the diary. Was Xu Xiaolin a stupid woman? Absolutely not. In fact, according to Wang Shen's understanding, Xu Xiaolin's intelligence was far above average. So why couldn't Xu Xiaolin see any clues in the diary?
Wait, there's only one possibility to explain this situation. Is Xu Xiaolin deliberately pretending not to know? Thinking this, Wang Shen frowned. Recalling it, the size 39.5 shoes, Lin Su's Sichuan origin, his love of spicy food, and his familiarity with the "Spicy Restaurant" menu—all of this seemed to be something he only knew through Xu Xiaolin.
Furthermore, the diary currently in Wang Shen's possession was given to him by Xu Xiaolin. Thinking about it this way, everything becomes much easier to explain. Xu Xiaolin had already confirmed that Lin Su was the murderer of Han Mo. Therefore, Xu Xiaolin deliberately approached Lin Su to gather clues about him to confirm her suspicions.
Once all the suspicions were confirmed, Xu Xiaolin wanted to use Wang Shen to bring Lin Su to justice. Thinking of this, Wang Shen felt it necessary to inform Xu Xiaolin of some of the clues he had uncovered and remind her to be careful.
Wang Shen picked up his phone and dialed Xu Xiaolin's number. It was switched off? Wang Shen tried again, but with the same result. Looking at his phone screen, Wang Shen had a bad feeling. He scrolled through his contacts, found Xu Xiaolin's studio's number, and dialed it. Fortunately, this number was handled by a dedicated operator.
"Hello, is writer Xu here?"
"Hello, writer Xu hasn't come to work today," the person on the other end of the phone replied.
"Did she have some work scheduled today that prevented her from going to the studio?" Wang Shen pressed on.
"I don't think so. Sir, may I ask your surname? Perhaps you could leave your contact information so I can tell Writer Xu when she returns."
"No need, thank you." Wang Shen hung up the phone.
Wang Shen's gaze fell on the diary again. After thinking for a while, he found Lin Su's number in his contacts. Looking at Lin Su's number, Wang Shen hesitated for a moment, then dialed. Not long after dialing, the phone went dead. Wang Shen's heart finally relaxed a little; thankfully, Lin Su hadn't turned off his phone.
Wang Shen waited for a while, and even after the phone's voice prompt said to call back later, Lin Su still didn't answer. Undeterred, Wang Shen dialed Lin Su's number again. Twice, three times, the same result: Lin Su's phone wasn't off, but he still couldn't get through.
One phone was switched off, the other was unreachable—what happened? Could Lin Su have acted first? Wang Shen shook his head; it was unlikely. Judging from the diary and the clues he had gathered, Lin Su was able to successfully murder Han Mo because he had protected himself very well. Even now, Wang Shen didn't have any direct evidence to prove his relationship with Han Mo.
However, Lin Su and Xu Xiaolin's relationship is now public. If Xu Xiaolin were to be harmed at this time, Lin Su, as her closest confidant, would be inextricably implicated. Wang Shen believes Lin Su wouldn't do something so foolish, at least not before all the conditions are ripe.
Based on this analysis, was Xu Xiaolin's phone being switched off merely a coincidence? Wang Shen tapped his still groggy head, unable to think of any other answer. Just then, Wang Shen's phone rang. Wang Shen was a little excited, thinking it was Xu Xiaolin or Lin Su calling back. But when he picked up the phone, he saw it was Liang Zichen calling.
Wang Sheng had just answered the phone and hadn't even had a chance to speak when he heard Liang Zichen shout from the other end, "Captain Wang, when can you come to the police station?"
"Is there something wrong?" Wang Shen could tell that Liang Zichen sounded very surprised.
"Something terrible has happened!" Liang Zichen on the other end of the phone swallowed hard and shouted.
Wang Shen sighed and said, "What's the big deal? Can you explain it all at once?"
"Han Mo is alive! Han Mo is alive again! Weibo! Weibo! It's updated again!" Liang Zichen stammered, but the information in his words was truly astonishing.
"Han Mo is alive? On Weibo? Tell me more specifically." Hearing Liang Zichen's words, Wang Shen's previously dazed mind instantly cleared up.
After a moment, Liang Zichen said, "Han Mo's Weibo has started updating again! Her Weibo hasn't been updated since Han Mo passed away, but just now, it was updated again."
Wang Shen was also taken aback. To say Han Mo had been resurrected was utter nonsense. But why would her Weibo account, which had been inactive for so long, suddenly update? The reason for the update was simple: someone must have logged into Han Mo's Weibo. The key questions were: who was this person, and what was their purpose?
Wang Shen pondered these two questions for a moment. The person updating Han Mo's Weibo was either a hacker or someone with close ties to Han Mo. Who could this person be? Xu Xiaolin? Lin Su? What was their purpose?
"Captain Wang, are you listening to me?" Liang Zichen asked when Wang Shen didn't respond for a long time.
"I'm listening."
"Okay, the most outrageous thing isn't that Han Mo's Weibo has been updated again, but the content of the update!" Liang Zichen said after catching his breath.
