From doomsday survival to fast-forward daily life

Opening the computer, Tian Yu searched for the school that Wang Ran attended. She edited an email and sent it to the school, then searched the school forum or social media accounts of alumni.

Finally, I found a hot case that students discussed a year ago on social software.

A student in Wang Ran's school died a year ago, which caused quite a stir at the time. The body was found in the student dormitory and was already highly decomposed. Later, after verification and the suicide note at the scene, it was determined that the person committed suicide for love.

It is worth mentioning that this person is an international student with the same nationality as Chu Yi in the copy. In the other party’s social account, Tian Yu found that he followed the internet celebrity who had posted the video of Chu Yi’s parents, and the two often interacted.

This is interesting. Chu Yi had a guess about the identity of the internet celebrity. She opened her mobile phone and after checking the accounts of residents of Xichuan Road one by one, she finally found a clue in Sister Zhong’s short video account.

Two years ago, in a video that Sister Zhong released of herself traveling abroad, a young woman’s voice and right hand appeared. The bracelet on her hand and the voice were exactly the same as those of the internet celebrity.

Tian Yu basically concluded that this internet celebrity was Sister Zhong's daughter Zhong Ling. Tian Yu had heard that Sister Zhong's husband was a son-in-law and her daughter took her mother's surname.

Wang Ran, Zhong Ling, and the student who committed suicide attended the same school. Zhong Ling often interacted with the deceased. At the same time, Wang Ran's father and Zhong Ling's parents lived on the same street. The three of them entered school in the same year. Although Wang Ran has disappeared now, does this mean that she has no connection with the two?

Tian Yu checked the fans and followers of the student who committed suicide on his social media accounts one by one. He had a good appearance, seemed to come from a well-off family, and had a large number of fans.

Finally, when she was almost dazzled, she found a suspicious trumpet.

There is not a single photo in it and the information is blank, but the posts were concentrated in the past year and are very frequent.

It records the thoughts of a young girl in great detail. The other party often calls a boy "John". Tian Yu thinks this should be a pseudonym.

"10.27, I saw John for the first time today. I felt as if I felt my heartbeat exceed the normal frequency for the first time, like an angel shooting into a mortal's heart."

"10.29, I was doing a group project with John today. He was always polite and serious when he was thinking. I felt like I was almost in love."

"10.30. Had lunch with John today. Although there were many people present, he still took everyone's feelings into consideration."

In the beginning, the account always posted stories about its own life. After John appeared, the space began to be occupied by him.

The change occurred a month later, and another person began to appear in the other party's account.

"12.3, today I was looking up information in the library with John, and I ran into her. She came up to us and said hello. The way John looked at her made me feel sad."

"12.5, she asked me out for dinner, and mentioned John intentionally or unintentionally. I didn't want to answer, but she didn't seem to notice. I've seen through her mind. Aren't so many suitors enough to satisfy her vanity?"

"12.18, these past two days she has been asking me to hang out with her, and I said I have a paper to finish and I can't refuse. It's so funny. I have helped her so much since I enrolled, why doesn't she ever repay my kindness?"

Tian Yu looked through the other party's records one by one. The owner of the account fell in love with a man named John, but John was attracted to the owner's friend "she". The owner seemed to have been helping "her" with some things. From just a few words, it can be seen that "she" has a cheerful personality and a good family background. Although she is in a higher education institution, she can take time out every day to dress herself up, and she goes to parties all the time and has many suitors.

After that, John seemed to have some entanglement with "her". "She" would sometimes ask the owner of the account for his opinion. The owner remained calm on the surface, but the anger in his heart was real. The last update stopped a year ago.

"On May 5.27, I had enough of this kind of life. I decided to express my feelings to John and draw a clear line between us. I don't want to torture myself anymore, and I don't want to do those little favors for her anymore."

The identity of the owner of the account is about to be revealed. From her description, it can be seen that she has known "her" for a long time. John and the owner of the account use the same language, and "she" is most likely Zhong Ling. Many descriptions can match the social account updates of Zhong Ling and the deceased.

Tian Yu boldly inferred that if the owner of the account was Wang Ran, then after entering school, Wang Ran had obviously been helping Zhong Ling with some "small favors" and looked more like Zhong Ling's follower. At the same time, the two were involved with the same boy, which led to a conflict. So would the death of "John" touch Wang Ran's sensitive nerves, and who would she hate?

Why did Wang Ran and Zhong Ling stop updating their accounts a year ago? Wang Ran can be contacted, but what about Zhong Ling? What happened to her later?

The situation is becoming more and more complicated. Zhong Ling released a video of Chu Yi's parents. Chu Yi probably came to Xichuan Road for this purpose. Not long after, Zhong Ling went abroad. The truth about bullying beggars became untraceable when she went abroad. So, could Chu Yi's purpose be to find Zhong Ling, or to get close to Sister Zhong and her husband?

Why did Wang Ran want to help Zhong Ling? She seemed extremely reluctant but could not refuse. Could it be related to money? When Wang Wei sent Wang Ran to study abroad, did he receive help from Zhong Jie and her husband?

[Countdown to the end of the instance 255:45:23]

Tian Yu received a reply letter from the school, in which they expressed regret over the death of Wang Ran's father and had informed the students.

In the second letter of reply, the school mentioned that it was deeply regretful and angry about the incident in which it reported a student for fabricating facts that led to the student's suicide, but it was confirmed that the student had dropped out of school a year ago and his parents went to the school in person to handle the formalities, so they were powerless to do anything.

Zhong Ling dropped out of school a year ago? Did Sister Zhong and her husband personally go to the school to help her drop out?

But why has Zhong Ling not appeared in Xichuan Road so far? And Zhong Jie and her husband did leave Xichuan Road some time a year ago. Could this be related to Zhong Ling? Why didn't they bring Zhong Ling back and never travel far again?

Will the dispute between Zhong Ling and Wang Ran also spread to their parents? Is this related to Wang Wei's death?

Now, in the case of Wang Wei's murder, the suspicion of Sister Zhong and her husband has increased. In order to find out their motive for murder, we must find the trace of Zhong Ling.

Tian Yu sent a message to Sister Zhong, asking her to play mahjong, but she didn't receive a reply for a long time. She went to the mahjong hall, and Sister Lin said that Sister Zhong had not been to the hall in the past two days, but her husband had just been there yesterday.

Just as Tian Yu was thinking about whether there were other ways to get information, an ambulance came roaring to Xichuan Road.
