Chapter 548 Above the Posing (83) [VIP]
There was a pause on the other end of the line, and there was a sound of something falling to the ground. It seemed that Xu Ke stood up from somewhere in a hurry and knocked over a bunch of things: "How did you know?"
"Brother Xu Ke, it's not convenient for me to call right now," Wen Qi did not answer his question immediately. Instead, she lowered her voice deliberately, glanced at the still closed study door, and changed her communication method. "Can I text you?"
It wasn't just that she was afraid that the couple would suddenly come out of the study and find that she, who was pretending to be pitiful just a second ago, was now informing the police.
The main reason was that Wen Qi had a clear understanding of her own abilities. After more than ten years of disguise, no one had ever seen the weak, timid and slow skin on her face. But when facing the real police, she was still not good enough.
The advantage of text communication over verbal communication is that it leaves both parties with a certain amount of time to think and edit, and lacks the tone and voice to assist in judgment, which can further conceal her purpose or modify her words.
Besides, if she calls, she will have to rely on herself to improvise, but if she sends a text message, if there is something she doesn't know how to answer, she can ask the teacher for help off-site. No matter how you look at it, the latter is safer.
"Okay." Xu Ke's voice hesitated for a moment, then quickly hung up the phone. A few seconds later, a new text message appeared:
[What's going on? You're not with Xiao Guo right now, are you? How do you know where he is? Be careful and don't go to a safe place by yourself.]
Xu Ke is truly one of the few good people in this world.
If it were someone else, after hearing the news, the first question they would ask would be where Xiao Guo was, but Xu Ke's first concern was actually her safety.
[Brother Xu Ke, I'm fine. I'm at home now. I don't have my own room here. I live with the nannies. The nanny in the same room is coming back soon, so it's not convenient to call.] Wen Qi took the opportunity to play the victim, and then asked the familiar scapegoat, [After you left at noon today, Zhang Xujiao and Zhang Weijing came to me in the afternoon to ask me if I knew where Xiao Guo was now.]
There's nothing we can do about it, these two guys are just too useful.
From the perspective of Wen Qi's parents, Zhang Xujiao and Zhang Weijing are the children of the "big shot" they want to curry favor with. The actions of these two people represent the movements of the "big shot" in a sense, so when these two people mentioned Xiao Guo, it must be that the "big shot" noticed Xiao Guo.
From Xu Ke's perspective, Xiao Guo was placed in the Abnormal Investigation Bureau for their captain in the first place, and the captain was targeted because he learned the secret of the "big shot", so after Xiao Guo completed the task, he was naturally arranged to other places by the "big shot". So when these two people mentioned Xiao Guo, it must be that something unexpected happened to Xiao Guo under the handling of the "big shot".
Xiao Guo's movements are connected to the big shot, that is, he is connected to Zhang Xu and Zhang Weijing. In addition, the opportunity for him to take action is that the action team of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau went to find Wen Qi. A mutually restrained relationship line was formed between Wen Qi, Xiao Guo, and the "big shot". Under this relationship, once any party has a problem, the movement will affect the other two parties.
[They both came to ask you where Xiao Guo is?] Xu Ke was a little confused.
Why do these two people know Xiao Guo?
[I don’t know either… They are usually like this. They will come to me for trouble whenever they are not happy. I originally thought that they came to me this afternoon just because they had nothing to do or something happened at home and they wanted to vent to me.] Wen Qi stopped talking at that point and did not continue to play the victim. Instead, she changed the subject and put her attention back to Xiao Guo. [But the two of them mentioned Xiao Guo, and I was also very curious why they knew this person, so I pretended to be very familiar with Xiao Guo and asked a few questions.]
[Brother Xu Ke, I originally thought that the big shot asked Xiao Guo to go to another place, but from what I got out of him, it seems that Xiao Guo did not go to the place arranged by the big shot, but ran to another place. Now the big shot is also looking for Xiao Guo, and it seems that he is afraid that he will tell those things. ]
This was pure lies, but the label of school bullies on the two was too solid, so Xu Ke not only did not doubt it, but continued to think about it in his heart.
What Wen Qi said about "a little conflict" was probably these two people coming to cause trouble for her. Xiao Guo did not go to the "big shot" to arrange it.
Instead, he ran to other places and the "big shot" couldn't find him. Zhang Xujiao and Zhang Weijing remembered that Xiao Guo was one of the policemen who went to find Wen Qi, so they asked Wen Qi.
Unexpectedly, Wen Qi was curious about why these two people knew Xiao Guo, so she pretended to be very familiar with Xiao Guo, and accidentally got some information out of him.
Xiao Guo is now in a place where no one can find him.
That's normal.
The "big shot" would secretly find someone to deal with their captain because their captain knew his secret. It makes no sense that they would not deal with the person who dealt with the captain.
Xiao Guo ran away to save his life.
But if that’s the case…what about Wen Qi’s initial statement that she knew where Xiao Guo was? Didn’t the “big shot” as well as Zhang Xujiao and Zhang Weijing not know where he was?
Xu Ke frowned in confusion, and asked after thinking so.
[Brother Xu Ke, you know, my parents transferred me to this school because they were looking for ways to connect with that big shot.] Wen Qi looked up at the room where the voice was getting closer and someone seemed to be coming out, and her fingers were flying on the screen. [When I got home from work at night, I heard the two of them talking on the phone with someone, and they seemed to be saying that they found a person named Guo, and mentioned the ancestral home, and some old neighbors, and I immediately thought of Xiao Guo. Could the person they were talking about be Xiao Guo who fled to the countryside or the ancestral home?]
This is true, but Wen Qi reversed the order. Her parents went to find Xiao Guo not because of the instruction of the "big shot", but because of her deliberate guidance.
Even this guidance part was not much different from what she said to Xu Ke. She had never hinted anything to her parents. She just couldn't stand the bullying at school, so she went to find her younger brother to find out what happened during her disappearance.
And the key words "ancestral home", "old residence", and "old neighbor" were indeed what she heard just now.
The woman mentioned these words when she was making instructions on the phone. She suspected that Xiao Guo had returned to his old house with his parents. She mentioned the old neighbors because they wanted to find out the secret about the "big man" from them.
With the sound of the door opening, Xu Ke's last message was also sent to her phone: [Okay, I got it. I'll go look for it now.]
Then, as the woman saw Wen Qi sitting obediently on the sofa with a satisfied look in her eyes, Wen Qi's hands behind his back moved slightly.
The message box with Xu Ke was selected and deleted, leaving not even a trace.
Xu Ke would not send her any more messages, at least not tonight, because he suddenly realized something just now.
If Xiao Guo chose to run away secretly in order to avoid the "big shot", then now Wen Qi's parents know his hiding place, his life safety is in danger, and he might die at the hands of the "big shot" in the next second. They now only know an ambiguous address. If they want to find out why Xiao Guo wanted to harm the captain and whether he knows how to go back and forth between that world, they must race against time.
Wen Qi also knew that he was too late.
On the phone that the woman placed on the table, the chat software interface was still stuck on a dialog box that showed a voice call had just ended. The note on the dialog box was [Bao Bo].
She knew this man, one of the most capable assistants around the woman. Wen Qi had ridden in his car once before she revealed her specialness. When Bao Bo opened the trunk to take something, Wen Qi clearly saw a ghost lying in his trunk.
His car was a soul ring car, and someone had died in it.
Later, as her appearance became clearer and her special features became more obvious, she never rode in Bob's car again, nor did she have any interaction with him other than passing by, until she investigated the cause of death of the secretary in junior high school...
Among all the investigation results, a considerable part showed that the secretary's taking the blame was not only related to the couple, but more likely to be related to Bob. After the secretary's death, he quickly became one of the woman's most trusted deputies.
What can create trust? Years of being together or... the same secrets.
Wen Qi had reason to suspect that Bao Bo had a hand in the secretary's death. In the following ten years, in addition to being an assistant, Bao Bo's more important responsibility should be like Chen Lei's father to Lin Jianyu, that is, an assistant who handled some dirty things for the couple.
The person who went to find Xiao Guo was Bao Bo. Xiao Guo and his parents might not be able to escape. When Bao Bo found that he couldn't get anything out of them, Xiao Guo would be "killed" accidentally.
Xu Ke went to find Xiao Guo, partly to find out the truth, and partly probably because his concept of good and evil seemed too simple and naive by the standards of this world. Even if the dying person was someone else instead of Xiao Guo, he would still go to save him.
But Wen Qi is not such a good person.
She called Xu Ke not to ask him to save Xiao Guo in the first place.
Taking the body away after "creating an accident" and handing it over to the "big shot" to take credit is a very complicated process. The aftermath and arrangements require very careful planning and confidentiality, not to mention that he has elderly parents with him.
It is easy to kill someone but difficult to dispose of the body. It is even more difficult to take the body away without leaving any trace after an accident. It is even more difficult to take away one body while disposing of the other two.
She actually heard the location, but intentionally blurred the key words when conveying it to Xu Ke, forcing him to first look up the archival materials and then investigate and eliminate them one by one.
Bad news, he definitely won't be able to get to the murder scene in time.
The good news is that if Bob wants to take away the three people and deal with the body by creating an accident, Xu Ke will most likely encounter the scene where the body is dumped.
Amid the woman's false concern, Wen Qi lowered her head, pursed her lips and smiled: "I know, I don't blame my mother."
Of course she didn't blame her mother.
Mom is going to die anyway.
