Wen Qing was shocked. Is having a smart police friend also an advantage?
What are the advantages that others have?
???
He suspected that the main system was implying something about him?
Considering that the systems of the first two copies hinted at some important information from the very beginning, Wen Qing carefully and repeatedly pondered the background of this copy and his own identity card.
The murderer, the police friend...
He sat on the suitcase and whispered to the system: [Could the murderer be my smart friend? ]
001: [……]
001 didn't say anything, and Wen Qing felt more and more that his guess was correct.
One reason is that it is impossible for 001 to give him the correct answer.
Second, he felt that according to the main system's nature of cheating people, Smart Friend was too suspicious.
People tend not to doubt the people around them.
After thinking about it, Wen Qing felt his eyes brighten, as if he had become smarter.
001 was silent for a moment, then said coldly: [Advanced Task: Assist the police in finding the murderer of the serial disappearances.]
Wen Qing was puzzled: [What then? ]
001 emphasized word by word: [assist, help, police, and party.]
Wen Qing blinked and asked tentatively: [Is this policeman my police friend? ]
001 spat out three words indifferently: [What else? ]
Wen Qing reacted slowly, otherwise with his ID card, it would be impossible for him to assist the police.
His cheeks were hot, and he uttered a low "oh" and said softly: "I thought the system was going to trick me again."
001 didn't speak.
Wen Qing blushed and quietly defended herself: [It's normal for me to guess wrong.]
This time 001 hummed.
He didn’t know if it was Wen Qing’s illusion, but he seemed to hear a hint of smile in 001’s voice.
Wen Qing's face turned even redder.
When Xing Ze arrived at the airport, he saw Wen Qing sitting on the suitcase at first sight.
He was wearing a loose black sweatshirt, which made his skin look even whiter and seemed to glow in the sun.
A gust of wind blew by, and it seemed a little cold. Wen Wei shivered slightly, and the wide corners of her clothes flew backwards, slightly outlining the outline of her body, which was thin and slender. At first glance, she looked like a little girl.
Xing Ze slammed on the brakes, raised his eyelids, and saw Wen Qing's rosy cheeks. He thought, she looks more like a little girl.
"Wen Qing."
Hearing his name, Wen Qing looked up blankly and saw a tall man walking towards him.
The man had cold features and no expression on his face, but his eyes looked slightly softer when he looked at her.
Wen Qing guessed that he was his police friend, and quickly stood up, stammering a "hmm".
Xing Ze took his suitcase and said, "Get in the car."
His voice was also cold. Wen Qing was dazed, and felt that his voice was a little familiar.
Xing Ze took two steps and found that Wen Qing didn't follow him, so he paused.
He put down his suitcase, walked up to Wen Qing, and opened his arms helplessly.
Wen Qing was still wondering what this person was going to do when he was tightly held by a pair of strong arms.
He wanted to speak, and then, the back of his head was touched.
Perhaps it was because the other person was so strong, just by touching him, Wen Qing was forced to bury her face in his hard chest, making it hard for her to breathe.
Wen Qing quickly pushed the other person, and the other person seemed to think he was responding and hugged him even tighter.
"That's enough." Although Xing Ze said this, he had no intention of loosening his arms.
Wen Qing's eyes went dark, and he felt stuffy and painful, as if his waist was about to break in two.
Who asked you to hug me?
After a long while, he managed to squeeze out a few words with difficulty: "Let go, let go."
Hearing that there was something wrong with his voice, Xing Ze let go of his hand, lowered his head, and met Wen Wei's slightly red eyes.
He frowned: "What's wrong?"
Wen Qing looked at him with tearful eyes and thought, what else can happen, don't you know how strong you are?
Seeing this, Xing Ze frowned even more tightly: "Is there something wrong?"
Wen Qing pursed her lips and whispered, "You just hurt me."
His voice was a little tearful, and Xing Ze was slightly startled: "Sorry."
Wen Qing whispered, "It's okay, you didn't mean it."
"Let's go. We can't park here for too long." Xing Ze subconsciously raised his hand and wanted to hook Wen Qing's shoulder.
After catching a glimpse of Wen Qing's misty eyes, he paused, fearing that his rough hands and feet would make Wen Qing cry again.
His left hand was suspended in the air, and after a moment, the shoulder hook gesture turned into hand holding.
"Let's go." Xing Ze held Wen Qing's hand and walked straight towards the car on the side of the road.
Wen Qing's pupils trembled and his body stiffened.
Who would hold hands with serious friends?
He immediately asked the system in his mind: [Is this friend a friend in the literal sense or a boyfriend? ]
001 said firmly: [Friends.]
Wen heaved a sigh of relief, quickly shook off Xing Ze's hand, and stammered, "Two grown men, why are you holding hands?"
Xing Ze: "I'm afraid that the shoulder hook will hurt you."
Wen Qing couldn't understand his logic and said in confusion: "Just walk normally, why do you have to hold hands and bump into each other?"
Xing Ze was stunned, he didn't know why.
Suddenly... I really wanted to touch Wen Qing.
A few girls passed by them, looked at Xing Zeyou and Wen Qing, showed excited and ambiguous smiles, and hurriedly walked aside.
Wen Qing's ears felt hot. She didn't notice Xing Ze's daze, walked quickly into the car, sat in the passenger seat, and fastened her seat belt.
After completing a series of actions, Wen Qing leaned back in his chair and used the back of his hand to press the heat off his face.
After Xing Ze got in the car, he glanced calmly at Wen Qing's blushing face.
He casually asked, "Did anyone ask you for WeChat just now?"
Wen Qing was stunned for a moment, and told the truth: "No."
He looked puzzled: "Why are you asking this suddenly?"
"You've always been popular with people," Xing Ze paused and glanced at him, "Why is your face so red when no one is approaching you?"
Wen Qing pursed her lips. At first, she was pleased with herself for coming up with an outrageous answer, and then...
"I'm bored by you."
Xing Ze chuckled: "Wen Xiaoqing, I haven't seen you for a year. Why are you becoming more and more squeamish?"
Wen Qing glanced at his sturdy arms, then looked at his thin arms, and muttered, "Obviously you are too strong."
Xing Ze hummed: "Blame my strength."
Wen Qing felt an indescribable strange feeling when she heard what he said.
It's a bit like when the girlfriend is angry and the boyfriend takes the initiative to admit his mistakes?
Wen Qing quickly shook his head and silently told himself that it was the same between boys.
Starting the car, Xing Ze turned on the radio as usual.
Wen Qing stared absentmindedly at the scenery outside the window, a world that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
For a moment, he actually felt like he was back in the real world.
He didn't come back to his senses until he heard the sweet female voice on the radio.
“…The inability to contact Miss Chen caused great concern among her family and friends. They recalled the disappearances in recent years and immediately called the police.”
"The police immediately launched an investigation and search. Fortunately, they finally found a clue. It turned out that Miss Chen was deceived by her classmates into a pyramid scheme..."
Wen Qing hesitated for a moment, then followed the topic of the broadcast and said, "Um...how about the previous missing case?"
Xing Ze: “No clue yet.”
"No one was found, and no body was found."
Wen Qing blinked: "Is it possible to be alive?"
Xing Ze shook his head: "The possibility is very small."
"The victims are all young women in their twenties or thirties. The most recent victim the police know of has been missing for a month. The probability of her survival is very low, not to mention the previous ones."
Wen Qing scratched his palm nervously: "This case sounds so difficult."
He should just complete the main quest.
Xing Ze hummed, "Without a body, we can't be sure whether the victim is dead or alive. We can only investigate it as a missing person case."
Wen Qing asked curiously, "Can't you find anything on surveillance?"
"The place where the victim disappeared is either not under surveillance or has no problem with the surveillance." Xing Ze looked at the vehicle in front of him expressionlessly and said to Wen Qing, "The murderer is very smart."
Wen Qing tilted his head to look at him: "How do you know there is a murderer?"
Xing Ze said calmly: "The victims' occupations are hosts, reporters, lawyers, salesmen, etc."
Wen Qing looked confused: "What's wrong with these professions?"
Xing Ze said slowly: "These are the jobs that psychopathic criminals like the most."
"For the same reason, they also like to attack these people."
Wen Qing's heart skipped a beat. Could the murderer this time be a pervert again?
Fortunately, he was just an ordinary student this time.
Seeing that Wen Qing was a little scared, Xing Ze frowned slightly and realized that he had said the wrong thing.
There is a huge difference between young women going missing and young women being serially murdered to the average citizen.
Xing Ze pursed his lips and said to Wen Qing: "These are just the police's current speculations, you can just listen to them casually."
"Maybe it's just like what was said on the radio, a pyramid scheme or a human trafficking organization."
Wen Qing said quickly: "I, I also think there is a murderer."
Xing Ze paused: "Why?"
Wen Qing said dryly: "Isn't that how it's played in TV dramas?"
"It's just that the missing case led to a murder case or something."
Xing Ze hummed and said hesitantly: "In fact, the first missing person we received a report from lived in the community you picked, but not in the same building as you."
Wen Qing's eyelids twitched, and he asked in a low voice: "Have you ever suspected that it was a resident of the same community?"
"I suspected it, but the victim had almost no contact with the residents in the same community. She was a reporter and spent most of her time at the TV station. She rarely went out when she got home. The residents in the community had no motive for committing the crime, and the other victims lived in different areas of Vancouver..."
Wen Qing hummed, silently absorbing this information.
Suddenly, Xing Ze's casual words rang in my ears: "You seem to be very interested in this case?"
Wen Qing subconsciously turned his head and saw a flash of doubt in Xing Ze's eyes.
His eyelids twitched. Why were these people so perceptive?
Wen Qing asked anxiously in his heart: [System, system, am I designed by someone in this world? ]
001 simply and roughly said: [Identity card. ]
Wen Qing asked: [Are there no more? ]
There is no important information written on the ID card!
He was a little panicked, and this policeman friend seemed to know him very well.
001: [Yes.]
Wen Qing lowered his eyes: [Then, what would happen if he found out that something was wrong with me? ]
001 said a few words indifferently: [This is an ordinary world.]
Wen Qing is now used to 001's personality of explaining only half of a sentence.
This is an ordinary world. In this ordinary world, if friends find something wrong with you, they might suspect you have mental problems... maybe you'll be taken to a research institute?
Thinking about this, Wen Qing became even more panicked.
Why does a human-level copy have this kind of extra task? !
His eyelashes trembled, and he slowly raised his eyes, just in time to meet Xing Ze's eyes.
Perhaps because of his identity as a policeman, under the other party's gaze, Wen Qing inexplicably felt as if everything was seen through him.
He wanted to cry but had no tears. Could it be that something was wrong with him being discovered on the first day?
The more panicked Wen Qing became, the harder it was for him to think of a reason to explain why he was interested in the case. He hesitated for a long time and couldn't utter a complete sentence.
Xing Ze could see Wen Qing's panic at a glance. He looked away and asked helplessly, "Are you scared?"
Wen Qing was stunned for a moment, then hummed softly in response to his words.
Xing Ze looked at the road ahead, and said with a hint of smile: "You are already so grown up, why are you still so timid?"
Wen Qing remained silent. From what he said, it seemed that he had always been timid.
Just...exactly the same as myself.
Wen Qing felt slightly relieved.
Xing Ze turned the steering wheel, drove onto the highway, and said to Wen Qing, "I didn't want you to go to my place at first, but why are you scared now before you move in?"
Wen Qing tugged at the corner of his clothes, thinking, it wasn't that he was unwilling, it was the system that made him unwilling.
Xing Ze glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, my uncle lives in the same neighborhood as you."
"I live downstairs from you."
Wen Qing was stunned.
"What a coincidence. I just found out about it this morning," Xing Ze paused, swiped his phone with his right hand, and said to Wen Qing, "You can add me on WeChat first. Sometimes I may not be able to make it here, so you can contact him."
Wen Qing responded, and the next second, something vibrated in his trouser pocket, and the notification tone of a WeChat message rang out.
Wen Qing felt that he hadn't heard this voice for a long time. He was distracted for a moment, slowly felt in his pocket, and took out a brand new mobile phone.
He poked the screen, opened WeChat, and saw a new message.
Note: It is a criminal option.
Wen Qing realized belatedly that he didn't know his police friend's name. It turned out to be Xing Ze.
After adding uncle Xing Ze’s WeChat, Wen Qing started playing with his phone.
In real life, he doesn't rely much on his mobile phone. It's just a communication tool for him. But now that he finally has a normal copy, he can't help but click on Weibo and the news.
This world is similar to the real world. Except for Wen City, other places are the same as in Wen Qing's memory.
Wen Qing tried to search for Wenxin Welfare Home, but there were no search results.
He exhaled and closed his eyes.
If an orphanage really exists, he might not be able to resist the urge to contact it or go and take a look.
Fortunately not.
*****
An hour later, we arrived at Nancheng Community.
Outside vehicles are not allowed to enter the community. Only vehicles registered by the household owner can enter. Xing Ze had no choice but to park his car outside the community.
Wen Qing stood at the entrance of the community and looked up.
The community’s security facilities are very good, with security guards and cameras everywhere. Facial recognition is required to enter, and outsiders need to register.
After registration, Xing Ze first took Wen Qing to the property management office to register the face recognition machine, and then took Wen Qing to where he lived.
The community is probably quite old. There are two elevators for two households, and the front doors of the two households face each other.
As soon as Wen Qing got out of the elevator, he saw that one of the doors was still covered with plastic film, and it seemed that no one lived there. The other door was fully equipped with an electronic peephole and electronic lock.
Xing Ze said, "I got these from the bureau. If you enter the wrong combination three times, the lock will automatically contact me. I'll get the monitoring software for you later."
Wen Qing stared at Xing Ze in a daze, and suddenly felt that his image was very tall.
Xing Ze pushed open the door and walked into the hallway. He turned around and saw Wen Qing still standing outside the door: "What's wrong?"
Wen Qing said in a daze: "Uncle policeman really makes me feel safe."
Xing Ze chuckled.
Wen Qing walked into the entrance and asked curiously, "Is your uncle also a policeman?"
It would be safer if there was a policeman downstairs.
Xing Ze shook his head: "No, he is a doctor."
Wen nodded lightly and said casually, "The doctor should be very busy."
"He's a psychiatrist with his own private clinic," Xing Ze paused and continued, "He's more family-oriented and not very busy. Patients who want to see him have to make appointments a long time in advance. He should be at home most of the time. If you have any problems, you can go directly to him."
Wen Qing responded and glanced at WeChat.
Xing Ze's uncle has not yet approved his friend request.
Xing Ze glanced at his watch: "It's four o'clock. You should pack your luggage first. It will be just in time for dinner. I..."
Before he could finish his words, his cell phone rang.
"I'm going to answer a phone call."
Wen nodded and walked around the house. The layout of this house was similar to his residence in the human world, but it was bigger, with three bedrooms, a living room and a kitchen.
Wen Qing chose a room near the door and began to pack her luggage.
The suitcase was filled with some common daily necessities and was quickly packed.
He walked out of the bedroom and caught a glimpse of a person standing in the entrance.
Wen Qing suddenly stopped and turned to look at the stranger at the door.
He was a handsome boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a blue and white school uniform. He was looking at him in surprise.
Wen Qing was even more surprised than him: "How did you get in?"
The boy smiled at him, with two dimples on the corners of his mouth, and shouted, "Hello, brother."
The other party was so polite that Wen Qing was stunned: "Hello."
The boy explained: "I just knocked on the door and it was not closed, so it opened."
"Brother is the friend of my cousin, right?"
Cousin?
Wen Qing looked at him blankly: "Excuse me, who are you..."
The boy smiled and introduced himself: "My name is Ji Sheng, I'm Xing Ze's cousin, and I live downstairs from my brother."
Wen Qing responded blankly, then turned to look at the balcony: "Xing Ze is on the phone with someone else."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xing Ze walked out from the balcony.
Seeing Ji Sheng at the door, he paused slightly: "Why are you here?"
Xing Ze stood next to Wen Qing and said, "This is my cousin..."
Wen Qing whispered, "I already know. He lives downstairs."
Ji Sheng smiled and said, "Cousin, Dad said that your phone call couldn't be reached, so he asked me to come up to see if you guys have arrived."
"He said he was leaving get off work early, so he cooked for us and we can just eat at home."
Xing Ze turned to Wen Qing and said, "I just wanted to tell you that I'm having dinner with my uncle and his family tonight, and introduce you to them."
Wen Qing inexplicably had the illusion of meeting his parents.
He had only known Xing Ze for two hours and was a little timid in front of Xing Ze, let alone going to have dinner with Xing Ze's uncle's family.
Wen Qing hesitated for a while, and said to Xing Ze tactfully: "Isn't this too much trouble?"
Before Xing Ze could speak, Ji Sheng curved his eyes and said, "It's not a problem, brother."
"Xiaoba likes to cook for himself and also likes to have people over for dinner."
Wen Qing responded dryly and looked up at Xing Ze.
Xing Ze saw that he didn't want to go, and whispered to him, "You have to stay here for two months."
“A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor.”
Wen Qing hummed and understood.
Sooner or later he would have to say hello to his uncle Xing Ze's family. It would be better to say hello today than to wait for another day.
"All right."
Wen Qing took a step towards the door, paused, glanced around the empty living room, and whispered to Xing Ze: "I'll go downstairs to buy some fruit."
It is not a good idea to visit elders empty-handed.
Ji Sheng immediately said, "Brother, you don't need to buy it."
"Big Daddy and Little Daddy don't care about these things."
Wen Qing was wondering what big dad and little dad meant when he heard Xing Ze say, "No need to buy, I brought some red wine."
After saying that, Xing Ze pointed to the beautifully packaged red wine on the dining table.
He went over to pick up the red wine and said to Wen Qing, "Let's go."
Wen Qing lives in 1201, while Xing Ze's uncle's family lives in 1101. The two apartments are exactly the same, but the decorations and furnishings are very different.
The house is decorated in cool black, white and grey tones, with no unnecessary decorations except the necessary furniture. It is spotlessly clean and spotless, like a model house, without any human touch.
Wen Qing changed his shoes and walked into the living room cautiously.
Just as I sat down on the sofa, a man walked out of the kitchen. He had cold eyes and his facial features were somewhat similar to Ji Sheng's. It was obvious at first glance that they were father and son.
Wen Qing immediately stood up and shouted to the man, "Uncle Xing... er... Ji..."
His voice suddenly stopped, and he suddenly didn't know what to shout.
Logically, Xing Ze's uncle should have the same surname as Xing Ze, Xing.
But Ji Sheng's last name is Ji...
Did Ji Sheng take his mother's last name? Or did his uncle Xing Ze take his mother's last name? So he doesn't have the last name Xing?
Wen Qing tilted his head and looked at Xing Ze for help.
Xing Ze touched his head and called to the man, "Uncle Xia."
???
Wen Qing was confused.
