She Disappeared (2)

That afternoon, all members of Team 2 gathered together to analyze the case.

The crime board contained photos of Teng Fei, Liu Yuwei, Teng Rong and others, and the locations included an outdoor store, a hospital, Teng Fei's current residence, the rental house where Teng Fei and Liu Yuwei once lived together, and the Qindongzi Canyon where the two had traveled before their marriage.

Based on all the clues currently known, Tang Xiaochuan reconstructed the entire incident.

Teng Fei, who used to work in an outdoor sports store, met Liu Yuwei, a supermarket clerk, by chance. The two had similar family experiences, both had no parents, and had many common feelings, so they quickly confirmed their relationship and lived together in a rented house near the outdoor store for a month. The two were in love, and according to people who knew them, the two never quarreled and had no conflicts.

Not long after, the two planned to get married, and Teng Fei talked about this with his colleagues in the outdoor store and his sister Teng Rong.

Before the wedding, Teng Fei prepared some outdoor equipment and went on a trip to Qindong Sub-Canyon, a branch of Qindong Grand Canyon. This route has not been developed, but many donkey friends go there to play. Teng Fei has a lot of outdoor life experience, so only the two of them went together.

At noon on March 8, the two arrived at Zixia Valley and decided to stay in the mountains for one night. However, the next morning, while Teng Fei was still asleep, Liu Yuwei walked away alone. Teng Fei searched for Liu Yuwei for a long time but couldn't find her, so he contacted the rescue team. In the evening, one of Liu Yuwei's hiking shoes was found by a deep pool of a waterfall.

After confirming that Liu Yuwei was killed in this area, the rescue team conducted an in-depth search, but did not find any of Liu Yuwei's belongings, including her body, so Liu Yuwei was determined to have died accidentally.

After this incident, Teng Fei resigned from the outdoor store probably to take care of his sister's illness. Not long after, Teng Fei started writing novels again. He initially serialized them on forums. Due to their large scale, they quickly became popular, and later a publisher even approached him to publish them.

That's all the clues we have so far.

After Tang Xiaochuan finished speaking, everyone's eyes were fixed on an address on the crime board: Qindongzi Canyon. What happened in this place? Was it really as described?

"Team Korea, Teng Fei will be back from Shanghai tomorrow. Can we bring him back for investigation?" Zhao Leiting asked.

"Investigation? There is no motive for murder. What do you think Teng Fei will tell you?" Feng Shaomin said coldly.

Han Changlin nodded: "Old Feng is right. No matter how you look at it, there is no conflict of feelings or interests between the two. What is Teng Fei's motive for killing someone when they are so passionate about each other?"

The air suddenly became much quieter.

"Did he kill for novel material?" Zhao Lei Ting asked suddenly.

Meng Siqi felt a little uneasy. If this was the case, it was too outrageous.

Zhao Leiting added: "When I watched foreign movies before, I did see examples of people committing crimes just to experience the plot of the novel."

"Okay, stop thinking about these meaningless things." The Korean team gave him a cold look.

Zhao Leiting stuck out his tongue.

Everyone was staring at the crime board in a daze, including Meng Siqi, but her gaze slowly moved from Zixia Valley to the photo of Teng Rong. That was not the seriously ill Teng Rong, but the healthy Teng Rong, who looked like a young and beautiful girl.

She suddenly remembered what Teng Rong said today, that her brother was her guardian angel. She slowly said, "Could it be related to Teng Rong?"

Everyone looked at her. After all, Meng Siqi's words seemed to have a different meaning. Zhao Leiting asked, "Why do you think it has something to do with Teng Rong?"

Teng Rong's suspicion was simply too small, and this was implied in Zhao Leiting's tone.

As everyone's eyes were on her, Meng Siqi smiled awkwardly: "I just suddenly thought of this, because there is something I have never figured out. Teng Rong was sick at the time, and it should have been a serious illness. She needed Teng Fei's care the most at that time. Why did Teng Fei choose to marry Liu Yuwei at this time?"

This sentence really stumped everyone present, and everyone's expression was a little stiff.

After a long silence, Tang Xiaochuan said quietly, "Congratulations?"

"..."Everyone was a little surprised.

"Tang Xiaochuan, are you superstitious and looking for good luck?" Zhao Lei Ting was the first to object.

"This is really not feudal superstition." Tang Xiaochuan's tone was still calm when he refuted. He has dark skin, a standard square face, looks honest, and speaks slowly and calmly, so he is often calm when analyzing cases. He said, "In my hometown, I heard the elders say that if someone in the family is seriously ill, they will indeed hold a happy event to bring good luck."

Maybe there really is such a custom in some places, and no one said anything else, but everyone's attention turned to Han Changlin, because if it was a happy occasion, the direction of the investigation might have changed.

"Any doubts are possible, but for now we should focus on Teng Fei. Isn't Teng Fei coming back tomorrow?" Han Changlin said, "Zhao Leiting, Meng Siqi, you two should go and contact him. What I mean is, try to insinuate yourself. After all, this is not a criminal case yet."

"Okay, Korean team."

The next afternoon, Meng Siqi and Zhao Leiting arrived at Jinyang Railway Station early, waiting for Teng Fei to appear.

Meng Siqi was wearing a light blue denim suit. She usually wore her hair in a ponytail, but today she let her hair down. She looked a little more gentle and elegant than usual, and more like a college student.

"Here." Zhao Leiting handed her a work badge, showing admiration in his eyes, "Meng Siqi, I didn't expect you to look so good in this outfit."

In his eyes, Meng Siqi was indeed a little different today. She seemed to have put on some light makeup on her face, her eyelashes were more beautiful, and her light red lips revealed a bit of intellectual beauty, like a flower in the spring mountains after the rain.

"No, I wasn't good-looking before."

"No," Zhao Leiting shook his hands repeatedly, "I definitely didn't mean that, it's just that today is special."

Meng Siqi hung his work badge around his neck and said, "Okay, thank you for the compliment. By the way, there is still half an hour before Teng Fei leaves the station. We should wait for him there."

"Let's go to the waiting room and make a good show."

As he walked over, Meng Siqi noticed the camera Zhao Leiting was carrying. Cameras of that era were relatively large, but also quite fashionable.

"You have a nice camera. Do you like taking photos?"

Zhao Leiting picked up the camera and said, "How about I take a picture of you?"

"Goodbye, I don't look good in photos." Meng Siqi shielded his face with his palm.

"If you don't look photogenic, there won't be any beauties in Jinyang."

"Haha, come on."

At two o'clock, the exit of the train station was crowded with people pouring out. The two compared the photos in their hands and looked into the crowd. A young man who looked like the one in the photo appeared in their sight.

Teng Fei finally left the station. Zhao Leiting waved a sign that read "Welcome writer Teng Fei."

Teng Fei glanced over here at a glance and paused for a moment. It was hard to tell whether he was happy or wary, but he finally stopped in front of the two people.

Zhao Leiting put away the sign and showed his work badge on his chest, "Mr. Teng Fei, we are reporters from Meaning Magazine and also your fans."

Teng Fei is about 1.7 meters tall and is wearing a casual suit. He looks very energetic. His hair must have been specially groomed and is very neat. He wears a pair of frameless glasses on his fair face, which makes him look very gentle.

He finally smiled from the moment he showed up, "Thank you."

Meng Siqi promptly shook the book in his hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Teng, is it convenient for me to interview you? Just to chat about your book."

Teng Fei did not answer immediately. He looked at Meng Siqi and finally his eyes fell on her name tag.

In fact, both of their badges were borrowed by Zhao Leiting through his connections. In order to ensure authenticity, Zhao Leiting came up with this idea. But there is no guarantee that they will be discovered.

"There is a tea restaurant next to here." Zhao Lei Ting interrupted Teng Fei's inquiring gaze at the right time.

"Okay, but I have something else to do. How about twenty minutes?"

"Of course."

After a while, the three of them rushed to the coffee shop next to the station and found a seat with fewer people.

Zhao Leiting had discussed with Meng Siqi in advance that Meng Siqi would conduct the interview today. Zhao Leiting was worried that Meng Siqi's true nature as a criminal police officer would be revealed during the conversation.

Meng Siqi took the responsibility, but a problem also arose. As a magazine reporter, she could still make do with it, but the problem was that she had not even read the book, so she stayed up until two o'clock last night and fell asleep on the book.

This morning, she stared at the dark circles under her eyes in the mirror and had to put on some light makeup. It was indeed a little different from her usual plain face, but it was also in line with the image of a magazine reporter who often appeared in public.

After introducing her position and name in the magazine, Meng Siqi also began to talk: "Mr. Teng, we are very interested in your book. For example, you, the male protagonist, and she, the female protagonist, your love is really beautiful. I still remember a sentence. You said that if you are destined to get nothing in this world, you will also eat love as the last dinner..."

Zhao Lei Ting was still listening at first, but slowly his eyes fell on Meng Siqi's light mouth and never let go. He suddenly felt that Meng Siqi's business ability was extraordinary. He must have done a lot of homework. It would be difficult for him to do the same.

Obviously, Teng Fei also let go of his previous solemnity, and the expression on his face became much more relaxed. Even after Meng Siqi recited a few of his quotes, the corners of his mouth turned up.

Meng Siqi stopped talking and got to the point: "Mr. Teng, what was your motivation for writing this book? Or did you refer to any prototype? Because this story is so interesting."

"Hmm..." Teng Fei seemed to be thinking, his eyes always lingering on Meng Siqi's face. He said calmly, "How should I put it? If you must say there is a reference, then there is. I once loved someone very much, and that feeling naturally came out in the writing. This is a very natural expression."

Teng Fei said a lot more about this story. Although he did not say the name Liu Yuwei, everyone could tell it was Liu Yuwei.

While the two were talking, Zhao Leiting was not idle either. He stood beside them, posing as a photographer and took a few photos of the two.

Every time Teng Fei was on camera, he would subconsciously turn his head away, as if he didn't want to be on camera. Meng Siqi was worried that Teng Fei's mood would be affected, so he waved his hand and asked Zhao Leiting to go away.

Teng Fei chatted for a while. The relationship he described seemed really beautiful. His words were mostly romantic and aesthetic. Meng Siqi could even see a hint of nostalgia and sadness on Teng Fei's face.

If the book ended here, it would be a perfect story. However, at the end of the book, the hero kills the heroine with his own hands, simply because he feels that her death is the only way to preserve their love forever.

The second half of the book describes in great detail the male protagonist's morbid and extreme view of love, and describes in detail the process of raping and killing his girlfriend. The scale is quite large, but it has been popular, which is hard to believe and incredible.

After chatting for a long time, Meng Siqi found that Teng Fei had already talked about that past without reservation. She thought the time had come and asked the questions she had prepared in advance: "Mr. Teng, if it was so beautiful, why did you want to destroy her? What is your true view of love?"

This question is very sharp, and it is on the verge of exploring the motive for murder. Zhao Lei Ting sighed in his heart again.

Teng Fei's expression froze a little, and compared with the previous relaxed look, it seemed a little gloomy. But he still smiled slightly: "Ms. Zheng, you don't understand how painful it is to love someone forever, but one day she leaves you completely. If you were allowed to recall it again, you would rather choose another way to let her live forever-"

He paused. "Maybe it would be nice to kill her off at the end of the novel."

Meng Siqi's forehead was covered with sweat, and she was shocked in her heart. She was surprised that he had such an idea and said it out loud without any hesitation.

This reminded her of Zhao Guanghui's true intention in killing Zhou Jie Li. Meng Siqi usually had the habit of summarizing things, and this habit made her always compare two unrelated things intentionally or unintentionally.

Although Zhao Guanghui did not reveal the real reason for killing Zhou Jie Li, it seems to be consistent with what Teng Fei said about "eternal life".

This made Meng Siqi feel the horror in Teng Fei's heart.

And he doesn't seem to be hiding anything, he always speaks his mind.

He tells you everything, but he makes you believe that what he describes is not real, but just his fantasy.

Reality is completely different from fiction, maybe this is what he really wants to tell you.

He doesn't have to hide or lie, he is very honest.

If he really killed Liu Yuwei, then all this would be truly terrifying, and his speculative thinking must be suffocating.

If you ask further, you may not get anything at all.

But at this moment, Teng Fei's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a little bit of subtle pride compared to his previous calmness. He turned the tables, "You two, if I'm not mistaken, you should be police comrades, right?"
