Chapter 213: Lost Contact

Everyone helped Hao Weiwei's mother to a chair on the side.

"You haven't been in contact before?" Qi Fei asked.

Hao Weiwei's mother said with tears and snot: "It's all my fault. I didn't care about him properly when he was in college. Every time I called to ask, he told me everything was fine. If I asked too much, he would be impatient. I thought he must be under a lot of pressure from his studies, so I didn't dare to ask more.

Our family is in difficulty, and the place where he went to college was far away. I only accompanied him once when he started school. Later, thinking he was doing fine, I didn't go again.

It wasn't until all the classmates who went out from his high school graduated and came back that I called to ask when he would be back. At first, he answered the phone and said he wanted to find a job in Nancheng. Who knew, after a few days, he wouldn't answer my calls at all.

We went to the school to find the teacher, only to find out that Weiwei hadn't graduated at all..."

"You didn't know about this before?" Wu Shanqiu heard this, blinked her eyes, and couldn't help but say.

"This child of mine is very obedient, just a bit introverted. Who knew he would go bad after getting to college."

"What does 'go bad' mean?" Qi Fei asked.

"Playing games. They said he was often nowhere to be found, and whenever they looked for him, he was in an internet cafe. The teacher said many of his courses didn't pass. What's even more infuriating is that the teacher said she had contacted his parents, but I clearly hadn't received any calls from the school.

After checking with the teacher, I found out that this child had given a fake number and found someone to impersonate me!

When did he learn to lie?

At that time, I searched all the internet cafes in Nancheng, but there was no sign of my son... You don't know how I've lived these two years, posting missing person notices everywhere. As long as there was a little news, I would run out to look for him. Every time I went, every time my hope was dashed.

However, I always thought my son was hiding somewhere, doing fine. Who knew, woooo..." Hao Weiwei's mother said and started crying again.

"Understood the situation specifically." In the office of the Criminal Police Brigade, Wu Shanqiu held a pen and tapped the notebook in her hand, "They said Hao Weiwei's parents divorced when he was very young, and he lived with his mother. He didn't perform well in the college entrance examination. The college Hao Weiwei's mother mentioned is Nancheng Vocational and Technical School. During college, he started to become addicted to games. A few years ago, the screen name 'Supreme Himself' was consistently in the top three on the leaderboard of a game. It is estimated that he spent too much time playing games. They said he didn't even pass the English CET-4. The school talked to him several times, and finally, they couldn't even contact him.

From later situations, he was still in Nancheng, just ran to Jiangbei. His mother was looking in the downtown area of Nancheng, so she definitely couldn't find him.

We checked Hao Weiwei's bank account. His income in the past two years was very low, mainly from selling game equipment and royalties from writing novels. When it was a lot, it was a thousand yuan; when it was a little, it was only a few yuan or a few cents. His life could be said to be quite tight."

"Hmm, this person, in reality, almost cut off contact with everyone, but on the internet, he interacted with a large number of people..." Qi Fei said after listening.

"And, people who had contact with Hao Weiwei in reality all evaluated this person as silent and reticent, but I looked at his performance on the internet. Not only is he a social butterfly, but he is also very domineering, scolding whoever he doesn't like. It's really strange." Just as Wu Shanqiu finished speaking, a "chirp" sound came from outside the office, sounding like a bird.

"There's nothing strange about it..." Zhong Kui's voice was as sweet as a peach. When she appeared by Qi Fei's ear, it made him stand up from his seat at once. He looked and saw Zhong Kui in a light purple cheongsam appearing before him. Different from when she appeared before, there was a chick on her shoulder, looking at the surroundings with dark, round eyes—that little myna bird given by Xi He.

"You really raised this bird?" Qi Fei pouted, clearly not very happy.

"Otherwise? Release it on Zizai Shan?" Zhong Kui's eyelashes fluttered, and she looked righteous, as if deliberately teasing Qi Fei.

"This bird is for Zhong Xiaoyu, not for you..." Qi Fei muttered, but he was very timid in front of Zhong Kui, and the volume of the last few words became smaller.

"Then..." Zhong Kui circled around Qi Fei, the sweet, cloying scent of powder making one's nose itch. She said in his ear with a seductive voice, "I'll give this body to Zhong Xiaoyu and let her take care of Plato?"

Qi Fei remembered, she even gave this bird a name! Damn it!

"Ahem..." A deliberate dry cough came from not far away. Liu Tong walked toward them with small steps. Yes, his stride was very small, and he walked slowly, without the spirit of a captain at all. "Work is already hard enough, so don't let us single dogs be abused mentally." He walked between Qi Fei and Zhong Kui. The little myna bird flapped its wings on Zhong Kui's shoulder, seemingly liking this newly appeared human.

"Liu Tong, look, you asked me to come, so I came." Zhong Kui "betrayed" Liu Tong ruthlessly, "I received the news about the black merit box."

Qi Fei heard this and glared at Liu Tong, saying with his mouth: "Didn't I tell you not to disturb her!"

Liu Tong seemed not to understand Qi Fei's secret code and said to Zhong Kui with a smile: "Then what can we do? Now that you are not here, it's as if something is missing."

A trace of imperceptible coldness flashed in Zhong Kui's eyes, and then she said with a face full of spring breeze: "The feeling of being needed is quite good~ I heard you encountered a cyborg this time?"

"Pfft..." Wu Shanqiu couldn't hold back and laughed out loud. Seeing the puzzled look Zhong Kui cast, she hurriedly waved her hand, "Sorry, I couldn't hold back the 'cyborg' part..."

"What's wrong with a cyborg?" Zhong Kui didn't understand the punchline.

"That murderer calls himself a cyber killer... not a cyborg..." Qi Fei explained from the side, "We estimate that this person and the deceased met on the internet and should have had a conflict. We are now trying to contact those netizens who interacted frequently with the deceased on the internet."

"Oh~ screening cyber relationships?" Zhong Kui said immediately.

"Haha, Xiao Kui, you are actually applying what you learned. It's just that it seems no one has said it like that..." Wu Shanqiu laughed again after hearing this.

Just as they were talking, Qi Fei's phone rang. He answered the phone, listened to a few words, and immediately said: "What? Hao Weiwei's laptop's mobile hard drive was dismantled?"

Just as the words fell, only a few "ding-dong, ding-dong" sounds were heard. It turned out that Hao Weiwei's phone, which was placed on Qi Fei's desk, had messages coming in.

Everyone gathered around to see that the QQ group had exploded.

The latest message they saw was: "Brother Zun, what stimulation did you receive? What is all this?" ===== CHAPTER 214 =====
