Chapter 349: Intelligence From Three Years Ago
Ji Li stopped talking. He needed to determine in what form this task would be completed.
Two murder cases, two time and space, two groups of clerks, two tasks...
Since Fang Shenyan's situation has never been answered, Ji Li at this moment had no idea that there were two ghosts in this mission.
The sensory murderer he experienced was already powerful enough.
But in fact, there is still a certain gap between the one faced by Fang Shenyan and Xiao Qianduye.
The lack of information became one of the reasons why Ji Li could not think clearly.
"In my opinion, maybe that mission card indicates something..."
The third personality that had not appeared for a long time quietly said this, giving Ji Li a new way to solve the problem.
Ji Li frowned and asked him to continue.
The third personality thought for a moment and then said:
"Do you still remember the last words Wei Guang said to you in the interrogation room?
The old card in our hands is actually Mu Nianmei’s library card from Shanming University of Finance and Economics fifteen years ago.
By analogy, the new card in Tongguan's hand is now the library card of Shanming University of Finance and Economics.
Have you ever thought that a group of store clerks were divided into two teams? There were two time and space fifteen years ago, but there happened to be a highly similar murder case in both time and space.
This coincidence, you might as well be bold and guess..."
Ji Li didn't speak. He lowered his head and stared at his reflection on the floor quietly, comparing and reasoning in his heart.
“The old card I hold means that my timeline should correspond to fifteen years ago;
The new card held by Tongguan shows that he is on the timeline and should correspond to today.
so……"
"So what you are facing is the Mu Nianmei case, and the real culprit arrested is also the real culprit who killed Mu Nianmei!
In the same way, the situation in Tongguan is completely opposite! "
The third personality seems to be more determined than Ji Li this time.
It's just that Ji Li still didn't speak. He couldn't just conclude arbitrarily. At the very least, he had to wait for Fang Shenyan's information to gather together.
But now, no matter what angle he is in, he should investigate the Mu Nianmei case.
So after a long moment of silence, Ji Li looked at Gao Yan and asked:
"Since you have been on Tangling Road for ten years, have you noticed the hidden line?"
Ji Li always believes that if a person does nothing and works on one thing for ten years, there will definitely be gains.
As expected, Gao Yan showed a smile on his face and looked towards the center of the dance floor.
“That dark thread is it.”
Ji Li looked in the direction Gao Yan was looking. It was the bar's screen, and a weird and crazy MV was still playing on it.
Now comes the Devils, their second album since their debut, titled “Death of Desire.”
“I contacted Mu Nianmei’s parents countless times until they were unwilling to investigate the matter.
Several of Mu Nianmei's former roommates also lived separately, and I completely cut off contact with them five years ago.
This poor girl has been slowly forgotten by her relatives and friends.
But I don't believe it! I will definitely be able to find a clue that everyone has ignored. It is hidden in a dark corner, waiting for the sun to illuminate it!
Sure enough, three years ago, the owner of a video store on the long street called Backyard Road of Shanming University of Finance and Economics approached me. "
When Gao Yan said this, his tone was extremely excited, and his whole back straightened up, as if he was proud of himself.
Ji Li looked at him and asked calmly: "Did he send you a hidden line?"
"Yes! The video store owner was a bald middle-aged man, and he gave me an old record.
This record is called ‘Death of Desire’.
The owner of this record is none other than Mu Nianmei.
According to the owner of the video store, he met Mu Nianmei more than once, and the two of them had a good relationship. Sometimes they stayed in his store for an entire afternoon.
The reason is that Mu Nianmei has an unknown hobby, which is listening to music, especially heavy metal music.
But there was no one around who listened to the same kind of songs, so she would rather listen to songs with a strange uncle in the video store than make her hobbies public. "
Ji Li understood what Gao Yan was talking about, and it was a hobby hidden by Mu Nianmei.
But the message is anything but simple!
At least Ji Li now knows that Mu Nianmei is not a weak-tempered person. On the contrary, it is just that her preferences are not accepted by her friends, or it may be related to her family's not very good situation.
Inferiority in all aspects makes her seem inhumane, but in fact she also longs for emotional communication, but she just hides it.
Otherwise, they would never stay together just because the video store owner also knows about heavy metal music.
Ji Li thought of the video store owner with some dissatisfaction, and asked:
"Why was such important information not reported to you at the time of the incident, instead of being told to you twelve years later?"
Gao Yan's eyes narrowed, he clenched his fists, and said after a moment:
"Because he tried to violate Mu Nianmei!"
Ji Li frowned, raised his head and glanced at Gao Yan, sighing silently.
"If the boss hadn't been interested in Mu Nianmei, maybe this hidden line could have been brought to light earlier, and nothing would have happened.
But why was he willing to talk to you three years ago? "
"Heh! Because he said he saw Mu Nianmei's ghost..." Gao Yan's tone showed that he didn't believe it, but there was a trace of doubt.
But when this sentence came to Ji Li, the meaning was very different.
He couldn't wait to light a cigarette and tried to integrate everything.
There was no reason for the owner of the audio-visual store to lie. He even said that he tried to violate something, which must mean that he was under endless psychological pressure and was forced to reveal it.
If Tianhai Hotel really wanted to set up a task, then it would not be impossible to turn Mu Nianmei's dead soul into a ghost.
It has been speculated before that there are two types of hotel tasks. One is ordinary external ghosts, which are led and handed over by the staff;
The other is arranged by the hotel and set up a task through ghosts controlled in advance.
The experience of the owner of the audio-visual store almost made Ji Li conclude that this task belongs to the latter.
Three years ago, the hotel turned Mu Nianmei into a ghost. The purpose was obviously to make this hidden line surface and complete the task.
Is the love of heavy metal music really so important?
Ji Li's silence made Gao Yan speechless for a while, but after a while, he took out a stack of books from his arms.
It was a dark blue book, Gao Yan opened the first page, and it was full of white cards of the same size.
The top few cards were yellowed, and the ones behind were getting newer and newer. The date of the last one was November 2015.
Ji Li recognized these white cards as soon as he saw them. They were the library cards of Shanming University of Finance and Economics!
"These are all the library cards for the two months from October to the end of November in the past twelve years from 2003 to 2015.
In the library of Shanming University of Finance and Economics, there is only one book related to Mu Nianmei, called "History of Music Popularity", and one of the chapters in it is dedicated to heavy metal music.
I have investigated that except for Mu Nianmei who once selected to read this book, very few people borrow it.
But since 2003, this book has disappeared from Shanming University of Finance and Economics, but half a month ago, this book was returned by a girl!"
Ji Li's eyes lit up, and he immediately threw the cigarette at his feet and asked hurriedly: "Who is that girl?"
"Currently a first-year graduate student in finance at Shanming University of Finance and Economics, Li Lixin!"
As soon as these words came out of Gao Yan's mouth, the music in the distance became more manic, instantly breaking the original atmosphere.
The more dense drum beats surged like a tide, beating Ji Li's heart madly.
A sudden gust of wind came from nowhere, blowing Ji Li's hair. He turned his head suddenly and saw a face lying on his shoulder.
The face was clearly a woman's. She closed her eyes and grinned at Ji Li, then disappeared immediately.
"Important clues to my life have appeared. The ghost has been following me to investigate the case and wants to kill people to silence them!"
Ji Li shouted, picked up his crutches and could not say anything more. He limped out at his fastest speed.
Gao Yan in the bar looked at Ji Li's back as he left, slowly stood up, put the book in his arms, and his eyes gradually became firm.
"Ji Li, I'll take you there!"
