Overturned Tower

"What was Miss Snow White's last interview?"

Russell thought for a while and added.

Bing Shui replied without hesitation: "It was a kidnapping case seven years ago.

"Some time ago, the intervention of angels suppressed the chaos in the lower city. Although the upper city was also in chaos, there was actually no news that could be broadcast... But if you can't keep it interesting, the official website of Tianen Daily Once the click goes down, everyone's income will decrease accordingly.

"So Ms. Baixue took another approach. She made a project of 'Unresolved Hundred Years' Mystery', taking out the interesting and unsolved mysteries of the past decades or ten years, and conducting a round of variety show-style 'detective investigations', Then he gave an ambiguous answer. The ratings of that program were quite high. It was the program with the highest ratings after she took over from Senior Xiao Liuli's class... Even Tianen TV station planned to rebroadcast her collection of programs. "

That would indeed be the highest.

Russell thought.

She doesn't have a fixed and huge fan base like Xiao Liuli, and even when she interviews a news, someone will call her.

Sometimes Xiao Liuli will sing a song or two after the interview-the giant sound system on her helicopter is used for this purpose.

At the same time, she is not afraid of death like Little Liuli, she will find all kinds of sharp, interesting and even vicious angles to ask questions... After getting used to Xiao Liuli's style, looking at Miss Baixue's style will definitely feel boring.

But interviewing this kind of mysterious case... Or, just popularizing these mysterious cases and weird people is interesting enough in itself.

Although Miss Snow White is a dog, she does the work of a mouse.

"The kidnapping case... can you tell me about it?"

"I actually know that too."

Before Bing Shui could answer, Delphinium replied: "I heard about this when I was in school... There was a lot of controversy at that time, and it caused a lot of controversy. You are not from Happy Island, so you may not know.

"It was a very strange kidnapping case. Because the kidnapper didn't ask for a ransom right away. When the ransom was finalized, the time was delayed again and again.

"In the end, when the ransom was paid, the kidnapper suddenly tore up the ticket and said angrily, 'How dare you notify other people'. He then burned the credit stick with the tracking device and the kidnapped person to death." up.

"The hostage's son determined that the credits in the credit stick were not offered at all. That said, it looks like the kidnappers ended up getting nothing.

"But after that, many of his technologies suddenly disappeared. But only his wife and son knew the secondary secret key for storing that technology... After investigation by the Ministry of Network Security at that time, the final answer was that extracting And the person who deleted this technology used a first-level secret key."

"That is to say, the person who was burned to death came to steal this technology. But it is impossible... so the robbers can only get the first-level key from him. But there was no key on his body at that time. The traces of being tortured, I have already been cremated."

Bing Shui added earnestly: "That is the first 'suspected memory theft case' in the history of Happy Island."

Chapter 10 Sudden Excited Big Dog

Hearing the word "memory theft", Russell was startled.

The world's largest memory theft group should be the Tower of Babel.

If Miss Snow White's investigation really involved the Tower of Babel, then the sudden and unexpected death would suddenly become understandable.

But the problem is...

"...Why would Bai Xue suddenly investigate such a thing?"

Delphinium frowned slightly: "Based on what I know about her, she probably wouldn't touch this kind of thing.

"I also watched her previous programs, all of which were cases like 'Peter Pan Case', 'White Moonlight Incident', 'The Alley where People Disappeared Every Week'."

This is also a more euphemistic way of saying it.

Everyone knows that Bai Xue is a very timid girl.

That small and lovely white poodle, even in words, actions, and demeanor, promised that he would try his best not to offend anyone.That kind of "likable scheming" is undoubtedly a talent similar to Russell's type, but much weaker in intensity.

A large part of the reason why she was able to inherit Xiao Liuli's position as chief reporter was that Tianen Group needed her to eliminate the subsequent impact of Xiao Liuli's death.

As the highest-level idol, Xiao Liuli's popularity can be said to be very high.

Anyone who takes her place will feel very strong pressure.

If you say something wrong, the dissatisfaction that has been accumulated for a long time will burst out——

There is no need for a "chief reporter" who is not liked by the people.

This is why the chief reporter must have a good face and a good temperament.Because these "chiefs" are actually "shields" pushed out by Tianen Daily, allowing them to accumulate fans through their popularity, and use their fan groups to resist the top-down pressure from the head office and the bottom-up pressure from the public. on the attack.

It can be said that the reason why Tianen Daily pushed her out was because Tianen Group believed that "Bai Xue is the least talkative reporter".Her timid character will make her dare not pursue the truth about Xiao Liuli's death; and her tenacious heart will allow her to withstand attacks of sufficient strength to bear the dissatisfaction of Xiao Liuli's fans "why not ask the truth".

And with her intelligence, she will definitely notice something wrong in this case:

Although the kidnapping case didn't even have its own name, it represented its abnormality—as the first "memory theft case" on Happy Island, it didn't have its own name, which itself was an anomaly.

That means, someone wants people to forget about it.

"But based on what I know about Senior Bai Xue, she probably started this show just to investigate this case in a fair manner."

Bing Shui was a little worried: "The previous programs are like a foreshadowing. It is the kind of cushion prepared to increase the ratings, increase the attention and topicality of this program.

"But just before she was about to achieve her goal, she suddenly fell to her death.

"Maybe I'm thinking too much, but I'm really a little scared. I'm worried that she really found out something.

"Now, I don't even dare to clean up my own office... Although according to the tradition, the relics of the predecessors should be cleaned up by the successor in the same position, so as not to fail the handover or other problems. But what I am worried about now is that my own Will it find out something I shouldn't have seen?"

"So," Russell understood Bing Shui's thoughts, "are you looking for a witness?"

If she's the only one investigating, the best way to learn something she shouldn't be is to let her disappear without a trace.

But if there is one more person...and someone who is not so easy to deal with, then her disappearance will become traceable.In this case, the better solution becomes negotiation and negotiation, and the life is saved.

Ice Water is a smart guy.She is not that curious, she must know the hidden truth.

But she didn't know if the person who watched secretly knew about "I'm really not that curious"...

She also thought about simply destroying what Miss Xue Bai left behind.But he was also worried that it would make him appear too intense and abnormal, which would actually make the other party suspicious.

Russell knew that feeling well.

It's like returning home and realizing that there are armed robbers hiding in the house... It's not enough to keep a distance, and you have to convince the nervous other party that you haven't noticed the other party's existence.

Russell had this experience too.

And now Bingshui has done something similar to Russell back then——

"I also knew it might be dangerous...so I didn't go to Xia."

Bingshui said calmly: "Because I have shared an important secret with Mr. Qun Qing, so I thought of you immediately."

"...an important secret?"

Delphinium's ears moved slightly, and she looked over curiously and doubtfully.

"Ah, I remember."

Russell suddenly nodded.

So that's the case... It's the matter that the resources are about to run out.

That is indeed a dangerous secret.

In other words, a reporter of this level really knows something very dangerous...

"If you think this is inappropriate, I can go to my father to clarify."

Behind these public figures in the upper city, there is a big man crookedly leaning on them.

Of course, it is impossible for them to rely on this big man to gain any benefits.Rather, they took the initiative to confess to them—because of this, the secrets they knew could also be understood as the people behind them also knew the same.

This may allow them to be personally silenced by the people behind them, but it may also save their lives in turn.

How to choose depends on the position of the person behind them.

Bai Xue obviously made a mistake.

But Bingshui is much more stable... because the person behind her is her father.

If you continue to trace back, you can trace it back to the faction of Director Dodgson.

But if the emperor or Dodgson took action to settle this matter for her, I am afraid Mr. "Emperor" would not allow her to continue working as a reporter.

Although Miss Bingshui is more reassuring than Xia, she also has her troubles.

"...You are not afraid of your memory being stolen."

Russell was a little helpless: "You are involved in nothing less than Miss Xue Bai."

In his opinion, Miss Bingshui's situation is obviously not very good.

"I'll help... Whenever you plan to pack Miss Xue Bai's belongings, call me."

"Is it okay tomorrow morning?"

"Okay, then you can come to the office to see me at nine o'clock."

Russell easily agreed.

Although Bingshui held a respectful attitude towards this matter, Russell was somewhat interested.

This is, after all, directly related to the Tower of Babel.

After that, the ice water left quickly.

Delphinium seemed hesitant to speak.Russell waited for her to speak for a long time, but in the end she still didn't ask anything, so Russell went home inexplicably disappointed.

As soon as he opened the door, he heard the familiar sound of the TV and the sound of potato chips being chewed in the room.

"Hey, are you finally willing to come back from your little girlfriend's house?"

Bad Ri said quietly: "I thought you planned to live there forever and never come back."

Russell raised his eyebrows, and retorted not to be outdone, "Don't I have to come back and add some dog food to the dog at home, so as not to starve to death."

"...Don't you deny your little girlfriend?"

On the contrary, Bad Ri turned around in surprise: "Are you serious? That's a happy event. I have to tell the deer head when I go back."

"Let's not talk about it now... I can only say that I have this kind of willingness on my side now."

With a straight face, Russell said a lot of things in a very cautious tone: "But there are too many things that have to be considered. Whether it is the identity of the Tower of Babel, or the operation of the new plan in the lower city... Curse Kill My mother's person has not been found yet, and I have to become someone else to enter the dream world to learn spells at night... It may cause trouble for her. Moreover, I don't know what she thinks."

"Oh hoo? Oh hoo? Oh hoo?"

Bad Day ignored more than half of Russell's words, and accurately extracted the keywords he wanted to hear: "That is to say, you like her but are not sure if she likes you?"

So he became excited all of a sudden, his eyes lit up, and he turned over and sat up from the sofa in an instant: "Then do you want me to play a play with you? Heroes save the beauty or something to confirm her intentions?"

"You can stop for me!"

Russell stopped it loudly without hesitation: "Don't make trouble for me, I will thank you!

"Quickly tell me what you're doing here, and hurry up and walk away!"

You see, I am in a hurry.

Bad Ri raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a beating smile.

But he held his hand, at least he didn't say what he needed to be beaten directly.

Chapter 11 What is love

"It's really strange that you will show such an expression."

Bad Day flicked his tongue happily, crossed his legs, leaned back on the sofa back, and marveled at Russell's restraint: "I think of the little cat on the airship again.

"When you are not familiar with it, you still look very good. But once you get familiar with it, it suddenly becomes uncute."

It's like a cat sent to a pet hospital for a bath, it will stay still obediently and let the doctor touch it; but when it wants to be petted at home, it scratches and bites.

"...Thinking about it carefully, it's quite catty."

"It's in the nest, right?"

Russell replied lazily: "I guess you want to say that. I don't have any objection... cats are indeed such nest animals."

After he took off his coat, he curled up on another small sofa to the left of Bad Day.The previously uneasy mood quickly calmed down.

This is not a long sofa, but the kind that makes people sit and drink tea.

But Russell almost never sits properly—because of his spirituality, Russell's body is extraordinarily soft.

He can easily "fold up" himself on this sofa and curl up into a ball.

Perhaps because cats like cardboard boxes, he likes to shrink in small spaces.This was more comfortable for Russell than sitting properly or lying down straight.

Seeing that Russell has even closed his eyes... On a bad day, he is not sure whether Russell intends to ignore himself on purpose and fall asleep directly.
