Boys wearing skirts
Zuo Xufei returned to the team to find Lao Wang. Of course Lao Wang had no meeting to attend, as holding a meeting was his common excuse.
"You came back so soon." Wang Ruibin thought for a moment, then turned pale with fear, "No, you let her go!"
"She drove back and is safe." Zuo Xufei looked at Lao Wang blankly, not understanding why he was so panicked.
Lao Wang pricked up his ears and said, "Hurry up and chase her. I didn't hear the guards raising the barrier for the car. She hasn't left the compound yet."
"Is this a mission? To monitor the detective amnesiac?" Zuo Xufei was confused by Lao Wang's serious look.
"I'm afraid she'll go to the reporters and tell them about the fake human game. She's been a foreign detective so many times, she's not the kind of person who would talk nonsense, right?"
"I'm not asking you to monitor her. She won't tell anyone else what's going on here. She hates media interviews."
There was a cat's meow outside the window, but neither the man nor the cat left.
"I asked you to go back with her to prevent her from causing trouble."
Zuo Xufei disagreed: "What can she do?"
"This is Old Chen's daughter. You don't know the troubles she made when solving cases in the past, but you definitely know what Detective Shrike has done. She is completely Old Chen's biological daughter in this respect."
Recalling the strange reports about Detective Shrike and the outrageous rumors in the Super Management Bureau, Zuo Xufei accompanied Lao Wang and quickened his pace.
He said uncertainly: "Not really. It's already 11 o'clock at night. She's still busy in the kaleidoscope all day. She probably doesn't have the energy to do anything else."
Lao Wang hurried down the stairs: "Do you know the case of looking directly at the sun that she solved last year?"
"I've heard of it. It's not a case in our city."
"One of the victims was from Danjiang City. I went there with her, and I saw with my own eyes that she hadn't slept for two days and two nights, chasing after the superpowered person all the way."
Seeing the Cadillac parked in the yard, Lao Wang breathed a sigh of relief: "She hasn't left yet, drive her car and take her back."
"Okay." Zuo Xufei agreed immediately, "I will apply to be transferred to investigate the crazy criminals after I come back."
"No." Lao Wang said firmly.
Zuo Xufei stared silently at Chen Yingsheng and the pooping puppet who were sneaking around the flower bed in the distance.
Lao Wang emphasized his tone: "Someone must have investigated the madman. His identity has been discovered, but that person cannot be you."
"I've always dreamed of catching him. Now that I finally know his true identity, you can't stop me."
"Catch him, you know where he is." Lao Wang snorted coldly.
"If he is really Zhao Jianyu, he was only 15 years old three years ago, but he was able to commit such a cruel crime. Moreover, the superpower criminal gang behind him is suspected to be Agape, and they will not let you find him easily."
Chen Yingsheng seemed to have noticed them and walked towards the car with the cat in his arms. The cat twisted its fat body uncooperatively.
Lao Wang continued to persuade him patiently: "This matter cannot be rushed, send her back first."
"I'm not just asking you to send her there. Listen to how she analyzes the case. She must have discovered something that she didn't say in the kaleidoscope. She's waiting for me to write a report and show her the case files so that she can participate in the investigation. Only then will she be willing to speak out. She's exactly like her father in this regard."
"But she's better than the Shrike. She'll at least say hello to you before she commits suicide."
Doesn’t she need to sleep? Zuo Xufei couldn’t ask the question because Chen Yingsheng came over and greeted them warmly.
Although there was no enthusiasm in his tone: "Captain Wang! The meeting is over."
"There's no one else here now, so don't call Captain Wang." Old Wang seemed not to hear the word "meeting".
"Why don't you go home so late? Have you had enough dinner? Or let Xiao Zuo drive you. You have low blood sugar."
Chen Yingsheng shook the cat in his hand and said, "Go back immediately. The poop doll wanted to poop as soon as it got on the car. I just took it to the flower bed over there to do it."
Lao Wang opened the driver's door without saying anything: "Xiao Zuo, her car is automatic and easy to drive. You should take her back. Otherwise, she will have hypoglycemia on the way and I will have to go to the traffic police brigade to rescue her."
"I just finished my meal, so I won't have hypoglycemia again." Chen Yingsheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He watched Zuo Xufei lower her head and get into the car without giving her a chance to refuse.
She held the cat and sat in the back seat: "The cat and I will sit in the back. The poop puppet loves you too much. If I sit in the front, I'm afraid it will disturb you while you're driving."
After closing the door for her, Lao Wang was still worried: "You two should drive slowly. Although there are fewer cars at night, some of them drive very wildly."
"I know, I know."
Only after the silver-gray Cadillac slowly drove out of the yard did Lao Wang turn around and walk into the building.
"He wasn't so nagging before." Chen Yingsheng grabbed the cat's two front legs to prevent it from jumping to the front seat and disturbing the driver.
"People tend to be a bit nagging when they get older, but Lao Wang is the type of nagging who is still strong despite being old."
Chen Yingsheng smiled twice to show his respect, and then the car fell into silence. Even the cat stopped making any sound, and there was only the voice of the navigation machine.
He said he wanted to hear Chen Yingsheng analyze the case, but Zuo Xufei had no idea how to start the topic.
Logically speaking, people have worked hard all day and their work is done. At this time, they should not mention anything related to the case, but should talk about relaxing and pleasant topics.
Zuo Xufei understood the truth, but he really didn't know what to talk about. He drove steadily and observed the back seat through the rearview mirror.
The person sitting in the back seat was also watching him through the rearview mirror, and the two people's eyes met through the narrow lens.
"You've also been into Su Li's kaleidoscope, right?" Chen Yingsheng said abruptly.
Here it comes again, this kind of question in a declarative tone. Zuo Xufei kind of understands why Lao Wang insisted on asking him to send the person back.
He did not deny: "Yes, I have."
Chen Yingsheng was thoughtful: "Did Kaleidoscope arrange for you to be a fake daughter?"
Chen Yingsheng's inappropriate imagination was at full capacity at this moment. He imagined expressionlessly what the 1.9-meter-tall, well-built Zuo Xufei would look like in a burgundy dress.
Boys, wear skirts.
"Everyone who goes in uses the same identity and the same body." Zuo Xufei interrupted her imagination.
Chen Yingsheng thought of the wontons on the street corner again: "Su Li didn't hate her murderer until the end. This method of killing in the name of love is too cruel."
The night scene outside the car window was receding one frame at a time. Zuo Xufei said quietly, "The criminals will pay the price, starting with the lunatics."
There was a red light ahead, and Zuo Xufei remembered Lao Wang's request: "Do you have any ideas about 'things'?"
Chen Yingsheng knew but couldn't say it, she could only say: "I don't know."
“I don’t even know if Liu Tianyi’s lost memory is real.”
"Why do you say that?" The red light turned green and Zuo Xufei stepped on the accelerator.
"In my memory, I controlled Liu Tianyi's body and chose to hide in Zhao Jianyu's dormitory, and witnessed him killing Wanting who was possessed."
"I don't think the real Liu Tianyi would do this. Even if she did, how did she escape in the end when she regained her abilities? Zhao Jianyu wanted to kill her."
Zuo Xufei frowned: "The madman is indeed a cruel and murderous person. If he wants to kill someone, he will definitely carry it out to the last step."
"You seem very familiar with Kuangtu. Isn't he a wanted criminal active in the border and Golden Triangle areas?" Chen Yingsheng's cell phone rang, and she lowered her head to reply to the message.
“You know he’s a lunatic.”
Chen Yingsheng simply explained: "I have the habit of looking at the police wanted notices."
Thinking of her famous memory, Zuo Xufei understood. He said calmly: "After I graduated, I was stationed at the southern border and participated in the joint operation to capture the lunatics."
From the rearview mirror, Chen Yingsheng saw the heavy light in his eyes and realized that the arrest operation might not be as easy and peaceful as he said.
"Is the criminal organization he belongs to Agape?"
"He has never been exposed." Zuo Xufei opened the skylight, "Before you cracked Liu Tianyi's kaleidoscope today, no one thought he had any connection with Agape."
"Many parties have determined that there must be a criminal organization with unknown purposes behind him, but the madman himself has never admitted it."
"He is like a wild dog, wandering alone in the Golden Triangle. He seems to have connections with all the forces, yet he seems not to belong to any of them."
"Where is the nun who possessed Wanting?" Chen Yingsheng denied it without waiting for Zuo Xufei to answer. "Such a strange ability as possession would be hard to detect even if it appeared."
Zuo Xufei shook his head: "If the lover, the madman, the nun and the swordsman are all from the same organization, their organization is very similar to the Self Cult."
"And Professor Shen and Teacher Li." Chen Yingsheng added.
"It is indeed very similar to the Id Church Anonymous Church. When Ren Shanshan remembered that Liu Tianyi did not have superpowers, she immediately realized that she had been deceived. This shows that their organization is extremely hostile to ordinary people."
"In the beginning, none of us thought this case was that complicated. We just thought it was related to the fake human game."
"Because Wang Yue said that Liu Tianyi saw Wanting, but Wanting never appeared in the university world in the kaleidoscope." Chen Yingsheng typed quickly on the mobile phone screen.
Zuo Xufei glanced at the rearview mirror, as if he was looking at the car behind him, or at Chen Yingsheng. He didn't say anything.
"The two deceased people in the pseudo-human game had also seen deceased people before they were alive, and they had not gone out for seven days," Chen Yingsheng asked immediately.
"They are two people who are suspected to have died from the fake human game." Zuo Xufei corrected her and did not continue.
In fact, Zuo Xufei had said enough, but he still didn't reveal anything about the two dead people. Chen Yingsheng felt like she was punching cotton. She asked a question: "Have you ever played the pseudo-human game?"
This time, Zuo Xufei didn't look at her in the rearview mirror, but couldn't help but look back at her.
Chen Yingsheng had to remind him: "Look at the road."
Zuo Xufei turned his head back: "I haven't played it before. It's a horror game."
"I haven't played it either, I'll try it later."
Wang Ruibin is indeed a veteran policeman. He is very good at predicting things. Zuo Xufei felt a dull pain in his head.
"Not to mention that the original version of this game has been deleted, all the games available online now are upgraded versions or new games that use fake people as gimmicks."
"The point is, aren't you tired? You've been busy in the kaleidoscope all day."
"Not tired, I got the original version from someone." Chen Yingsheng looked very happy under the light of his phone, "Anything published on the Internet will definitely leave a trace."
"This game has been hyped up by the media to be very weird." Zuo Xufei turned into a one-way street. "In fact, it's not that weird. They say you'll die as soon as you play it. When it was first released, many people played it, but nothing happened."
"Don't you think the two dead died because of the fake human game?" Chen Yingsheng put down his phone, looked up and observed Zuo Xufei through the rearview mirror.
Zuo Xufei didn't answer her question. He reached out to close the navigation: "We are almost there. Where should we stop?"
"Don't drive in, park in the public parking lot on the left." Chen Yingsheng let go of the cat, "Street parking is not allowed in this area."
Historically, Danjiang City was once a concession, with countless buildings from various countries remaining in the city center. The most famous streets are scenic spots, and the rest of the buildings continue to be used as commercial and residential buildings on a protected basis.
A large area of Western-style buildings mixed with modern high-rise buildings is a characteristic of Danjiang City, but it also creates traffic problems that no one can avoid.
There were no cars when the roads were built a hundred years ago, and the roads between the western-style buildings were all built for horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians.
Such roads were spacious and clean more than a hundred years ago, but are clearly not sufficient now.
Many of the side streets in the city center are narrow one-way streets, so there is naturally no place to park. If you want to park, you can only park in parking lots far away from the house.
Zuo Xufei parked the car, walked past two intersections and saw a small path. Chen Yingsheng's office was inside.
He praised: "This place is really nice, not too far from the scenic spot, not too close, clean and quiet."
"It's still a bit noisy during the peak tourist season." Chen Yingsheng politely invited Zuo Xufei, "Thank you for taking me back. Why don't you come in and sit down?"
This was exactly what Zuo Xufei was thinking. He wanted to watch Chen Yingsheng play the fake human game: "Okay, sorry to bother you."
Chen Yingsheng was a little surprised. In fact, she was just inviting him to express her gratitude. She didn't expect Zuo Xufei to really come as a guest. She had reason to suspect that it was Lao Wang who asked Zuo Xufei to come.
But she soon had no time to suspect Lao Wang because she found signs that the wall of her yard had been climbed over.
She stood still at the only spot illuminated by streetlights at the one-way intersection, looking quietly ahead.
