Chapter 98 I Really Don’t Know
Episode 98 "I really don't know"
There was no delay in Cui Shi's funeral.
The necessary evidence collection and autopsy have already been completed, and there will be no further legal interference. Things went on as planned, and the notification of the funeral time was sent to my mobile phone.
It rained a little on the day of the funeral, but the sun was shining brightly and the wind was very light. It seemed as if nothing had happened, and as if everyone had calmly and tacitly accepted the reality.
Before that, I met with He Qisi.
It's not difficult to make an appointment.
Because after the case happened, he was the person I interacted with the most, besides the doctors and nurses.
At first, he was collecting evidence and taking statements, and later he came to visit and chatted about the progress of the case.
To be honest, my feelings are dull, or delayed. It was not until my time in the hospital ended that I realized that He Qisi's words "take a look" were not because he had nothing to do, but because he was in the confusion of a mental trauma period.
He didn't know what to do.
He didn't know who to trust, so he just came to me.
As for why me?
I guess it was because I tried to save Choi Si at the time, or because I was someone outside the vortex of the incident, that wouldn't make him more confused.
Correspondingly, to many people, I should be the one who was hurt the most.
Because in their impression, I liked Cui Shi very much, but I couldn't save Cui Shi, and I also got my own father involved. Now, my family, studies and career have all been severely tortured by reality. The injured He Qisi also came along to huddle together for warmth.
But the strange thing is, I don’t feel sad when encountering such a thing. It feels like a distant thunder, deafening, but my life, even the air in my space, does not show the slightest lag tremor.
I later thought that the reason I didn’t feel that He Qisi was asking for help during that period was because he wasn’t actively seeking resonance.
It was just me and him sitting face to face, talking about trivial things that didn't matter.
And these little by little have become the cornerstone of our current interactions.
He Qisi and I talked about Miao Lunan's matter.
Because I know from the comics that Miao Lunan has already tested He Qisi, so He Qisi should also know that Miao Lunan is also Vita's man.
This is basically it and you can get it right in one go.
I should have also taken a gamble to see if He Qisi would help me set the trap.
But, I haven't yet fully let He Qisi participate. Instead, He Qisi marked out Miao Lunan's movement routes in the past two weeks on the satellite map.
"Whether Vita claims to be doing it for the public good or freedom, as long as their actions are based on sacrificing the lives of others, we cannot sit idly by."
His professional attitude shocked me.
Because for me, if Miao Lunan was my closest friend, I would definitely choose to play dumb. Of course I know that what I am doing is illegal, but I have no choice.
"Is it okay? If Miao Lunan is really a member of Vita organization..." I couldn't help but start to imagine the scene of their friendship breaking up. Although my purpose of getting close to him might also lead to that part of the plot, at least Miao Lunan can only blame me for using unscrupulous means.
I haven't finished speaking yet, but I know He Qisi has made up his mind.
So I spoke up and said, "Didn't Shang Hexing get lost in the bar? ”
He Qisi was very responsive and immediately asked, "He actually entered the Vita and is transmitting information now?"
No one asked about the disappearance of Shang Hexing in the Apollo Bar. Everyone realized that this person was either absorbed by Vita or sneaked in on his own. Besides, since no one reported the case, the police just ignored it?
They are very sure that they have their own answers and basis.
I didn't know much about this part, so I simply asked, "Are you so sure?"
He Qisi said: "A few months ago, when Shang Hexing disappeared, Fu Lin searched the streets for him and even reported the case. But this time Shang Hexing obviously disappeared in a strange place, and Fu Lin did not react..."
The answer is obvious.
There is no need to hesitate or test the remaining things.
He Qisi and I discussed the plan.
Before Cui Shi's funeral, He Qisi did not contact Miao Lunan and did not show up at the funeral. Before that, He Qisi could spread the news that he came back to attend Cui Shi's funeral, so that Miao Lunan would be willing to intercept him. Then, we make the assumption that He Qisi actually intended to avoid Miao Lunan and intensify his anxiety.
Miao Lunan's determination on Vita had already been shaken, and his most concerned friend directly believed that he was the one who killed Cui Shi. I'm afraid the balance in his heart was becoming more and more tilted.
At least he would explain some of the information to Miao Lunan and strive to maintain a positive image in He Qisi's mind.
But this opportunity will not be left to him, but to me.
Because there are two ways to prove a person's innocence. One is to explain positively that he is indeed harmless; the other is to drag others into the water and prove that the other person is more guilty than himself.
The latter actually means choosing the lesser of two evils, but it is actually sufficient.
By then, let Miao Lunan feel at ease and think that the call was connected, and he will naturally be willing to tell more of the secrets that he has been hiding in his heart.
This is actually also for my own consideration.
Because I felt that Fu Lin was completely unwilling to tell me the truth, and I didn't want to go around in circles trying to figure out who I was.
For me, the change of identity does not affect my life. I just want to reduce the information gap.
I don't want to wait and see, waiting for others to make the situation worse and then be forced to bear the consequences of their actions.

"Miao Lunan, you said they were looking at me when they came to test my reaction."
This sentence has already exposed Vita's members.
Miao Lunan frowned, and after discovering the trap I set, he started to play dumb.
People are like this. Many times they think that "if I don't say anything, it means I didn't make any mistake." This is an ostrich mentality.
I just want to use a shovel to dig down and let the ostrich poke its head out of the sand.
"The person who asked me this question was Xiaozhuang, so first of all, Xiaozhuang must be a member of Vita. The ones who looked at my expression at that time were Yun Linshi, An Qingyan, you and He Qisi. Basically the whole team is a member of Vita."
When he heard He Qisi's name, Miao Lunan's eyebrows slightly raised, "You are obviously guessing. How can you remember something that happened a few months ago so clearly? Don't frame me."
Miao Lunan’s sensitive spots are really easy to find.
As long as the name "He Qisi" is mentioned, he will speak automatically.
"I remember."
I have comics, and I can tell you a little bit about what they were eating at that time.
My tone was too confident, and Miao Lunan regained his cautiousness. "Do you want to drag He Qisi into this? He has no grudge against you, how can you hurt him like this?"
"He Qisi is the only one you singled out as innocent, which means the others are just as guilty as you."
"..." Miao Lunan was choked and explained, "I only care about He Qisi."
I said nonchalantly, "That's fine. You don't have to worry about other people's lives or deaths. Don't take it too seriously. I'll just notify the police station and talk to them. The rest of the time or things can be left to the police."
I continued, "Do you have any objections? Now that everyone in the world is looking for Cui Shi's murderer, I think the answer should be easy to find, right?"
This is really easy to lock down.
It was not my father who fired the last shot. That was Xiaozhuang who was also in the Forensic Identification Center.
"Whether you have told everything or not, I will say that you have told everything. For example, I am the game producer of "City of Innocence"..."
Before I had finished speaking, Miao Lunan's expression changed subtly again.
I made the final decision, "If you continue to hide it, it will be meaningless."
Miao Lunan stared at the teacup we prepared, took a look, and pushed it away. "You know exactly why I don't speak casually. I don't want to cause trouble for myself."
He said: "If you really want to get the police involved in this matter, you should send me directly to the police station instead of choosing a private setting to talk to me about these sensitive topics. You just want me to continue to cooperate with your work and lurk undercover in Vita. This is not an easy thing for me to do."
He felt that he was incompetent and didn't dare to speak casually, which finally made me understand his attitude.
I thought he had been forced into a desperate situation but was still trying to be stubborn, so I could only let He Qisi do some ideological work on him.
No need to keep trying!
Originally, I didn't want to make their relationship so awkward, so I was always the bad guy. If necessary, I will take a shortcut.
I didn't expect that he was afraid of his own incompetence.
I understand, "I don't expect you to really be a two-faced person or do Infernal Affairs."
I stretched a long line across the table and looked at him intently, "Tell me everything you know about the Vita Organization."
"This will do you no good at all." Miao Lunan said with certainty.
"It's not for you to decide on this kind of thing."
Miao Lunan folded his arms and leaned his back against the back of the chair. He was neither careless nor defensive. He looked at me and said, "Okay, then I'll tell you, Vita actually has an instrument that can transform other people's will and soul."
He paused slightly, his eyes darkened, "Shang Hexing and Fu Lin have now switched bodies."
"I know."
Miao Lunan's brows jumped and his eyes froze, as if he had been hit in the chest with a heavy punch, and the words in his throat were instantly stuck. He quickly adjusted his mood, his breathing slowed down, his eyes became deeper, and his tone unconsciously lowered, as if testing someone.
"…Then do you know?" He said slowly, "This device was originally used on you."
Then I really don’t know.
