Chapter 61
Chang Ting was choked and speechless. Finally, he uttered, "Chen He, I think you will have to go in sooner or later."
Chen Heman took a sip of tea nonchalantly.
Chang Ting was silent for a while, then asked, "Can you give me a list of the possible candidates for Male God 001?"
"No problem. If I go to jail one day, can that be considered a merit to atone for my crime?"
Chang Ting: “…”
Chen He smiled: "I'll recall the boys who had an ambiguous relationship with her and send it to you when I'm done. You're welcome."
Knowing he was impolite, I spoke for him.
"...Goodbye." Chang Ting stood up, grabbed his coat, and left. After two steps, he came back and said, "By the way, where's your poodle?"
"at work."
"Oh." Chang Ting felt a little relieved. "So he wasn't on duty last night?"
"On duty. I was supposed to rest during the day. But they said they had to attend a consultation for a seriously ill patient, so I was busy and had to work overtime."
Chang Ting's heart started to race again: "Why is he always on duty?"
Chen He was puzzled: "I didn't complain, what are you complaining about?"
"Nothing." Chang Ting turned around and left in a hurry.
"What disease..." Chen He stayed where he was, muttering in confusion.
Chang Ting returned to the office and saw Zhou Zhengzheng hunched over the computer, his eyes fixed on it. The screen was playing a video of Yu Aiai's last words.
He sat down on the chair next to him and said, "Stop staring. You're going to go blind. I told you to rest for two days. What are you doing here again?"
Zhou Zhengzheng said without turning his head: "Master, come and see."
The screen was showing Yu Aiai complaining about a comic, but she couldn't remember the name of the comic, so she looked up and thought for a while before saying it out loud.
Chang Ting didn't understand why: "What's wrong?"
"Don't you think it's strange that she raised her head?"
"Isn't it normal for people to make small movements subconsciously when thinking or remembering something?"
Zhou Zhengzheng pressed pause: "But don't you think her expression and eyes seem to be asking for help from someone outside the camera?
She pointed at the screen. "Also, when she said the comic's title, her eyes were focused. It didn't seem like she was remembering it, but more like she was looking at something and reading it. She even made some typos."
Chang Ting frowned: "I can't tell."
He actually understood what Zhou Zhengzheng meant, but he deliberately went against her.
One party puts forward an opinion and the other party tries to refute it. This two-way game is more conducive to sharpening out the correct answer.
This is refutational reasoning.
Zhou Zhengzheng didn't know his master's tricks, so he carefully magnified Yu Aiai's eyes and asked, "Look at her eyes. Are there any reflections?"
"What's so strange about this? It must be the reflection of her phone screen taking a selfie."
Zhou Zhengzheng stood up and pulled his master's shoulders to force him into a pose: "Come on, Master, you play Yu Aiai."
Chang Ting said angrily: "Why do you let me act?"
"Please cooperate a little!"
Chang Ting was forced to raise his mobile phone and strike the same selfie pose as Yu Aiai.
Zhou Zhengzheng directed: "Find the same angle as in the video. That's right. Then, raise your head like Yu Aiai, move your eyes, and look this way..."
She pointed her finger to guide the angle, and Chang Ting had to hold his breath and cooperate.
Zhou Zhengzheng stared into his eyes: "Now, your pupils can't reflect your phone screen."
Chang Ting held his neck stiffly to maintain his posture: "There is a wall lamp in that room, it might be the light."
"What if it's not the light?"
Chang Ting wanted to relax his neck: "If it's not light, what is it?"
"Don't move!" Zhou Zhengzheng stopped him, then raised his phone, pointed it at his gaze, and said forcefully, "It's the reflection of the phone screen!"
The comic cover with the title was displayed on Zhou Zhengzheng's phone.
For a moment, Chang Ting seemed possessed, as if he had become Yu Aiai at that time, and he could not help but say aloud: "The prophecy of the other shore..."
"Yes, that's right." Zhou Zhengzheng's eyes sparkled. "It's just that Yu Aiai didn't know the word '谶' and pronounced it '非'! Master, you are more educated than her!"
"I use you to praise!"
Chang Ting opened her phone and shook his head to shake off the strange feeling of being possessed by a ghost:
"You mean, when Yu Aiai was recording her last words, there was another person on the scene, giving her prompts using another phone?"
"I doubt it."
"Suspicion alone is useless; we need evidence. Have you tried improving the video quality?"
Zhou Zhengzheng sat back in front of the computer: "The video is not the original video. It was compressed when it was uploaded to a certain audio platform, so the clarity is not enough."
She clicked the mouse to zoom in on the eye area. "Even with super-resolution technology, I can't see a clear image of the light spot in the pupil."
Chang Ting glanced at her and said, "Since you can't see clearly, why are you doubting?"
Zhou Zhengzheng said gloomily, "I told you before, after Yu Aiai fell from the building, I felt there was someone above the stairs."
“Feelings can go wrong.”
"Am I overthinking it?" Zhou Zhengzheng was also a little shaken.
Chang Ting was silent for a moment, then uttered two words: "Evidence. We still need to find evidence. Feelings and guesses are useless. If there was a second person in the guesthouse room, then there should be traces left."
Zhou Zhengzheng jumped up from his chair: "I'll go ask the trace inspection department if they've found anything!"
Looking at his apprentice's hurried back, Chang Ting sighed: "He must be stimulated."
Then he muttered to himself, "It's okay. It's good for young people to experience some setbacks. The more you get frustrated, the more numb you become."
He crossed his arms, put his long legs on the table, lifted the front legs of the chair off the ground, and rocked back and forth comfortably. He closed his eyes and went over the details in his mind over and over again.
After a while, he heard footsteps behind him, but he was so focused on his thoughts that he ignored them.
Suddenly, there was a strong pat on the shoulder.
"Master, I've discovered something!"
Chang Ting was caught off guard, and the two legs of the chair that supported him lost balance, causing him to fall backwards.
He was lying on the ground, with a starry sky in front of his eyes. He saw Zhou Zheng waving a few pieces of paper above him, and the words "Trace Examination Report" were flashing.
After a while, Zhou Zhengzheng's voice finally reached his buzzing ears:
"The on-site trace inspection report is out! There are important discoveries!"
Chang Ting raised a finger, his lips trembling.
Zhou Zhengzheng bent down and asked excitedly, "Master, what did you say?"
"Disrespecting the teacher... destroying the ancestors..."
