Chapter 295: Internet Celebrity Transformation

The store manager looked at the footage of pedestrians coming and going in the surveillance and pointed without hesitation to a girl with long black straight hair and an outstanding figure, confirming that she was the one who argued with Lin Yu that day.

Wu Shanqiu looked at him with surprise: "So sure?"

The store manager smiled: "Beauties, after all, are always impressive."

As the lens zoomed in, the face that appeared on the screen made Qi Fei and Wu Shanqiu feel very surprised. It was a familiar face.

"Where have I seen this person?" Qi Fei pondered.

Wu Shanqiu thought for a while, then said loudly: "Brother Fei, Lv Ying! Do you remember? That internet celebrity! The case of Ba Ge and Xiao Hei, the makeup box that was wrongly inlaid with real gems."

Qi Fei heard this, and looking at this face again, it was indeed the same person, but the dress and makeup were completely different. At that time, Lv Ying was dressed in a flashy and tacky way, but looking at the appearance in the surveillance, she was a pure girl. He couldn't help but suspect: "This is not quite the same as the Lv Ying in my impression."

"Whether it's the same person, just find Lv Ying and you'll know," Zhong Kui said simply from the side.

Lv Ying opened the door with sleepy eyes. The previous wavy curls had indeed turned into straight hair, and the face without heavy makeup actually looked a bit elegant and beautiful.

She rubbed her eyes, saw the three people in front of her, and subconsciously wanted to close the door: "It's not takeout, did you knock on the wrong door?"

Qi Fei held the door: "Lv Ying, we meet again."

Hearing this familiar voice, Lv Ying raised her head to look at Qi Fei. The moment she saw him clearly, her sleepiness woke up more than half: "You are that police officer from last time?!"

Qi Fei said: "We suspect you are related to a recent falling death case, so we are here to understand the situation."

Lv Ying opened her eyes wide: "What case? I was already very wronged by Xiao Hei's matter last time. What kind of unlucky thing is this again?!" She scratched her head and complained.

Qi Fei had to show her Lin Yu's photo. As soon as Lv Ying saw it, she blurted out: "Ah, it's this hooligan! What bad things did he do again?"

"He is dead," Qi Fei said only three words.

"Ha?" Lv Ying looked confused. "Wait, I don't know this person at all. I just met him on the road. Is that why you want to find me?"

"Someone witnessed that earlier on the day the deceased fell to his death, you had a conflict with him. We found you through surveillance comparison, so please cooperate with our investigation and tell us what happened that day?" Qi Fei said.

Lv Ying was a bit excited and explained anxiously: "Please, I was walking on the road properly, and this man suddenly chased after me, asking if I was so-and-so, and if I was going to his house tonight. He is not the first person to pick me up, but directly asking me to go to his house in the evening is really outrageous. What does he take me for? I was very angry and scolded him a few times. It's just such a simple matter. I don't even know his name!" As she spoke, she looked at the expressionless Qi Fei. "No way, you suspect I killed him? It's too funny!"

"So-and-so?" Zhong Kui on the side imitated Lv Ying's tone just now, then pursued: "Your name is two characters. Looking at your statement, the name he called wasn't your real name?"

"Right, he said he mistook the person, thinking it was someone named Kong Xiaowen. Who knows if it was made up on the spot? Hehe, I can't help it if he says so," Lv Ying said unhappily. "I was in a hurry to attend an event that day and didn't entangle with him much. It's just such a trivial matter. What does his death have to do with me? You insist on saying so. Everyone on the street that day could be a murderer!"

Qi Fei believed that Lv Ying was telling the truth, but this made his doubts deeper. If Lin Yu was a social youth who liked to play, the situation Lv Ying described might really be a clumsy pickup, but he was a designer with a very simple social life and no prior record of harassing women. There must be a reason for this.

"Kong Xiaowen?" Zhong Kui didn't know why she cared so much about this name. "Would a person suddenly make up such a specific name in a hurry? According to cognitive shortcuts, we often say Zhang San and Li Si. To suddenly fabricate a name, at least in terms of surname, the liar would choose a more common surname. Kong, although not rare, compared to surnames like Zhang, Li, and Zhao, is definitely not the first surname to pop into the brain."

"You mean, the name Kong Xiaowen was not fabricated by Lin Yu?" Qi Fei asked.

"Is my meaning important? Anyway, it's not worth your belief," Zhong Kui retorted, obviously still sulking about Qi Fei's suspicion of her earlier. Then she turned her head to Wu Shanqiu to continue discussing the case. "Judging from the situation of the deceased you mentioned earlier, he should belong to a type of normal social inhibition. People in this state generally have relatively high social pressure, let alone suddenly talking to strangers. I guess he would even have pressure communicating with colleagues. He suddenly made an over-the-line move on a stranger like Lv Ying on the street. If it wasn't a sudden mental illness, there must have been a triggering situation we don't know about."

"But he was still drawing drawings before the incident at night. His mental state should be normal..." Wu Shanqiu responded while peeking at Qi Fei.

Qi Fei coughed dryly and chimed in stiffly: "It seems this Kong Xiaowen is the person Lin Yu made an appointment to see in the evening. It's just that I don't understand. A man and a woman can make an appointment to meet at home in the middle of the night; they should be very familiar. We cracked Lin Yu's phone. Most of his WeChat is chatting about work with colleagues and clients. There is no content similar to love at all? How exactly did this Kong Xiaowen contact Lin Yu?" After finishing, he carefully glanced at Zhong Kui, but Zhong Kui deliberately avoided his gaze and wandered around Lv Ying's house as if no one was there. Soon, her gaze fell on a suitcase placed in the corner. Her slender fingers stroked the various labels on the suitcase, and she asked Lv Ying: "You fell in love with traveling recently? Looks like you're running all over the world."

Lv Ying heard this and flirtatiously brushed her long hair: "This is my job."

Wu Shanqiu heard this and immediately said: "Aren't you doing live streaming? How did you change your profession to be a tour guide?"

"What tour guide? I'm going international now. I'm quite famous on Instagram, Ivy League graduate, world traveler," Lv Ying said proudly.

"What? Aren't you lying?" Wu Shanqiu remembered that Lv Ying's education was not high.

"How can you say it's lying? This is my persona," Lv Ying said without guilt.

"What is Instagram?" Zhong Kui's rare knowledge blind spot was touched.

Lv Ying looked at Zhong Kui with surprise: "Are you a time traveler from ancient times? You don't even know Instagram." ===== CHAPTER 296 =====
