Although Wei Muran didn't quite understand the meaning of his words, he still sent the message as he was told.
After a long time, he finally received Mei Shiyu's reply. "I'll consider it."
"Don't be too hasty. He's very meticulous. He'll notice something is wrong from the details. Fortunately, his editor has always been very attentive to him. Sometimes, in order to get him to participate in activities, he'll speak in a hurry, so he won't be suspicious this time. " Qi Youxuan said, "Tell him that the film company is now contacting the website and hopes to communicate with the author face-to-face as soon as possible, so he needs to consider it as soon as possible."
Qi Youxuan thought about it and said, "Recently, there are fewer films and TV series with this kind of theme. Also, the SARFT has a lot of restrictions on the theme of film and television works, so it's quite difficult to find a theme that can be approved smoothly without being delayed for a few years. His book is an opportunity. It fits in every aspect."
As Qi Youxuan spoke, Wei Muran typed and sent the message.
Someone patted his shoulder. Wei Muran turned around and Yang Shaozhan made an "OK" gesture to her again.
Wei Muran nodded. Qi Youxuan's fingers tapped on the back of the chair quickly and unconsciously. He said, "Tell him that our website has contacted you several times to promote you, but you didn't cooperate. To be honest, you're not the only choice we have. This time, the film and television copyright is also being negotiated for two books. The film company is also very interested in one of the books. The website will definitely prioritize the author with high cooperation. Because the later stage of the book's publicity needs the author to cooperate with us. To be honest with you, we don't have much confidence. Even if you come to sign the contract now, who can guarantee that you'll cooperate with the publicity later? I think it's better to give the opportunity to people who are willing to grasp it. Don't let it go to waste. "
Wei Muran typed these words and sent them over.
This time, Mei Shiyu's reply was faster.
"I agree. When do we go over for the interview?" Mei Shiyu asked.
Wei Muran looked at Qi Youxuan again.
Qi Youxuan stared at the chat box, his fingers still tapping unconsciously on the back of the chair.
"The day after tomorrow." Qi Youxuan finally said, "Tell him the day after tomorrow. The film company said that if he can't do it the day after tomorrow, he'll have to wait until next month. The other party happens to have some time the day after tomorrow. We can't let him come over immediately, or else he will be suspicious. If we drag this out for too long, he might change his mind again. The day after tomorrow is a very safe time. "
Wei Muran nodded and typed "the day after tomorrow."
The other party quickly replied with a "Sure", and then his profile turned gray again.
Wei Muran closed the dialog box and kept his Q open.
Yang Shaozhan then said, "When I used this QQ, the other party's IP address showed that it was in Tianjin City, but Song Pengfei, who I just checked, was in B City."
Yang Shaozhan immediately pulled up Song Pengfei's detailed information. It showed that he was from Shenzhen City. Like most of the drifters in the north, he came to B City and lived a hard life. At first, he lived in a very remote place. He drank and drank with others and rented a one-bedroom apartment. He had to spend an hour and a half on the way to work every day.
Two years ago, he moved into the Fifth Ring Road and rented a one-bedroom apartment. The information that Yang Shaozhan found was clearly written, including his rental contract, his previous address, his current address, his company, and even his company's employee number. Even his social security card number was found.
Song Pengfei's phone number couldn't be hidden.
Zhao Yiyang immediately called the front desk of Song Pengfei's company to ask if he was there. The front desk said he was, but before the call was transferred, Zhao Yiyang hung up.
"If Mei Shiyu is in Tianjin City now, then Song Pengfei can't be Mei Shiyu," Zhao Yiyang said.
"Could it be a fake IP address? Wouldn't someone use some software to change the IP address to another place? "Xing Jiadong asked.
Yang Shaozhan shook his head. "The other party didn't."
"Let's go to Song Pengfei's company first. I'll apply to the higher-ups. Jia Dong, come with me to Song Pengfei's house to investigate. Zhang Ming and Yiyang will go to the company to stop Song Pengfei and bring him back. Shaozhan, continue to investigate Mei Shiyu's IP address in Tianjin City. If it's at his house, that would be even better. See if you can find out his real identity and specific location, "Jiang Yuecheng said.
Zhang Ming and Zhao Yiyang's operation went smoothly. When they arrived at Song Pengfei's company and saw him, Song Pengfei was still in a daze. He had no idea what had happened.
When Song Pengfei was brought back, he was still puzzled when he heard about the book "Murder by Heart." "What book is that? What's it about? What does it have to do with me? "
Wei Muran gave him a copy of the contract. "This is your ID, right?"
Song Pengfei's eyes widened. He even took out his original ID and checked the numbers one by one.
After a while, he nodded blankly. "It's mine. But what is this? Copyright contract? When did I ever sign such a thing? "
"This is the electronic copyright contract of the author of the book 'Murder by Heart,'" Wei Muran explained.
Song Pengfei was even more surprised. He shook his head and was very puzzled. "I've never written a novel before. I've never been good at writing since I was young. I've always studied science, and the company has a job that matches my specialty, software engineering. You guys know that the internet is full of IT men. It's not an exaggeration at all. We're really very busy. We stay up all day and can't even handle working overtime. How can we have time to write novels? "
Qi Youxuan asked noncommittally, "Then do you usually read novels?"
Song Pengfei shook his head. "I used to have a lot of time in university, so I often read them. I can't now."
"You guys are so busy with work. It must be very stressful, right?" Qi Youxuan asked.
"Sigh!" Song Pengfei sighed heavily. He nodded and said, "It's too stressful. I originally thought that there were many job opportunities in B City and I had a bright future. That's why I came here when I was young and impetuous. My family's conditions aren't very good. We're considered well-off, but I can't come out to work and still ask for money from my family, right? I'm a man. If I ask for money from my family, my parents will be laughed at by the people around me. "
"That's why when I first came here, I rented a small house in a remote location. It was cheap. Also, my salary wasn't high at that time. I was almost depressed at that time. Later, when my salary was raised, I slowly moved in. My living conditions finally improved a little. "
"The company also knows that we're under a lot of pressure at work, so they regularly hire a psychiatrist to the company for us," Song Pengfei said. He was afraid that they would overthink, so he quickly waved his hand and said, "It's not really as formal as seeing a doctor. He just tells us some ways to relieve our stress. He will also tease us and make us feel more relaxed. Of course, he also left us his business card. If we have any questions in private, we can also contact him. "
"For a while, something happened to my family. My parents invested their money in a fund raising company, which is commonly known as a loan shark. They wanted to earn high interest. However, something happened to the fund raising company. The boss ran away, and their money was lost. They lost 200,000 yuan. Our family was well-off. My parents' retirement salary added up to nearly 7,000 yuan. However, after all, they weren't working properly anymore. Their bank savings were reduced bit by bit. During that time, the two of them were very uncomfortable. They couldn't help but complain to each other and quarrel at home. My mother secretly called me and couldn't help but cry. "
"I really wanted to help my family, but I couldn't. I drifted here alone. It was already good enough that I didn't ask for money from my family. I really didn't save much money. During that time, I was also very anxious. I felt that I was unfilial. My parents had been taking care of me, but when something really happened, I couldn't help at all. During that time, I was very nervous and felt that I was going crazy. So, I secretly went to see the psychiatrist hired by the company. "
"What's the psychiatrist's name?" Even Xing Jiadong could tell that something was wrong and asked agitatedly.
Song Pengfei was a little stunned, but he still said, "Xu Heyou. However, that was more than a year ago. It's been almost two years. After that, my work got better and better. I went back to persuade my parents during the holidays and also sent money home. My parents didn't want it and told me to save it. Anyway, life was better, so the unhappiness naturally disappeared. I was also in a good mood, so I didn't look for him again. I don't know how he's doing now. "
"Your company didn't get him to give all of you psychological counseling?" Zhao Yiyang asked.
Song Pengfei shook his head. "No, not long after I stopped looking for him. Our company also changed their psychiatrist. Because I talked to Dr. Xu, I felt it was strange, so I asked the company. The company said that Dr. Xu went to Jing City and the new psychiatrist was also recommended by Dr. Xu. "
Jing City. Everyone looked at each other.
"You also need to use your ID to see a doctor, right?" Zhao Yiyang asked.
"Yeah, that's for sure," Song Pengfei said.
This explained why Mei Shiyu signed the contract with Song Pengfei's identity.
After Song Pengfei left, Wei Muran contacted Jiangshi website and told them that they wanted to temporarily use Pu Qiuping's editor account. He also told them that they contacted Mei Shiyu and told them not to leak anything.
After hanging up, Jiang Yuecheng asked Qi Youxuan, "What do you think?"
"There's no doubt that Xu Heyou and Mei Shiyu are related," Qi Youxuan said. "But we don't know if they're the same person? Or if they're working together, or if Mei Shiyu is controlled by Xu Heyou. "
Qi Youxuan tapped the table with his fingertips. "Jing City, Jing City … I'm more inclined to believe that Xu Heyou and Mei Shiyu are the same person."
"What we need to do now is to find a way to calm Mei Shiyu down. If he's really Xu Heyou, then he's too good at reading people's minds. I'm just afraid that he'll guess our intentions and stop coming," Jiang Yuecheng said worriedly.
Qi Youxuan shook his head. "Xu Heyou did so many things because he wants the whole world to know that he's amazing. Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed so quickly when we told him that we could get someone else to do the publicity. "
"He didn't show up before because he was afraid that his identity would be exposed and he wouldn't be able to continue. But at the same time, he wants his book to be successful and be known by more people. It would be best if it could cause a sensation. If I'm more daring, he might even want these three murder cases to be exposed so that the public will associate these three murder cases with 'Murder Heart' and admire his meticulous thinking. "
"I told him before that the website won't support him anymore. He knows the effect of publicity, so he's in a hurry to come over. I'm afraid he'll also want us to publicize the three murder cases, so it's best to cooperate with his book, "Qi Youxuan said.
"What a pervert!" Xing Jiadong sweated. "Could it be that he has a past that he can't bear to remember?"
Qi Youxuan curled his lips. "Sometimes, perverts don't need a reason. Some people who study psychology end up studying themselves, so it's not like there aren't any. "
Unexpectedly, Xing Jiadong looked at him with a serious face, as if this was the last time he would see him. He said with a heavy heart, "Take care."
Qi Youxuan was speechless.
In the end, Yang Shaozhan found the IP address that Mei Shiyu used to log in to QQ. After checking, he found out that it was an internet cafe in Jin City.
"Isn't this like looking for a needle in a haystack? There are so many internet cafes. He might have gone to one that's far away to hide his tracks, "Xing Jiadong said with a bitter face.
"So now we can only wait for him to come," Qi Youxuan said. "He's very conceited. The previous three cases were all solved, so he's a little restless. He wants the cases in the book to continue, and he wants everyone to know about them. He doesn't want to be unknown, and he doesn't want people to think that it's just a novel. He wants people to know that the cases in the book have all been realized. So, no matter what, he'll come. "
Because they couldn't look for him like looking for a needle in a haystack in Jin City, Jiang Yuecheng still asked Yang Shaozhan to check bit by bit just to be on the safe side. Even if the efficiency was lower, if Mei Shiyu really went back on his word and didn't come, they wouldn't have to start checking again like flies.
Fortunately, the next afternoon, Wei Muran, who was using Pu Qiuping's editor account, received a message from Mei Shiyu, saying that he would arrive at the B City airport at 10 am the next day, and would be at the office of Jiangshi Chinese Network around 11 pm.
"That's great. I'll treat you to lunch tomorrow. _" Wei Muran sent it over. "By the way, do you need our company to send a driver to pick you up? It's our boss' car."
"No need," the other party said, "I'll just take a taxi."
"Okay, this is our company's address." Wei Muran sent him the address of Jiangshi Chinese Network that he had prepared beforehand.
Then, Wei Muran told Jiang Yuecheng and the others about it.
Jiang Yuecheng arranged Zhang Ming, Xing Jiadong, and Yang Shaozhan to keep an eye on Mei Shiyu at the airport, in case anything went wrong.
The others went directly to Jiangshi Chinese Network to ambush him.
Both sides took Xu Heyou's portrait, because Qi Youxuan felt that Xu Heyou and Mei Shiyu were the same person.
At around 10: 30 am, Qi Youxuan and Wei Muran were already waiting at the office of Jiangshi Chinese Network, in case Mei Shiyu called Pu Qiuping on the way.
Jiang Yuecheng and Zhao Yiyang waited at the entrance of the building. If everything went well, as soon as Mei Shiyu came in, they would surround him and bring him back.
Qi Youxuan received a call from Zhang Ming, who confirmed that Mei Shiyu was Xu Heyou. The person they saw at the airport was exactly the same as in the portrait.
Qi Youxuan immediately told Jiang Yuecheng, and Jiang Yuecheng and Zhao Yiyang couldn't help but tense up.
At 11: 15 am, when Mei Shiyu, who was Xu Heyou, walked into the building, Jiang Yuecheng and Zhao Yiyang immediately flashed in front of him. Behind him, Zhang Ming and the other two also blocked Xu Heyou's way of retreat.
Jiang Yuecheng showed his ID, "Police, we suspect that you're related to the three murders. Please come back with us to assist in the investigation."
Xu Heyou's eyes flashed with understanding, and he chuckled softly, "So, the publicity, the movie adaptation, it's just an excuse to attract me here?"
"No, your book will indeed be adapted into a movie, but it won't be in person today," Qi Youxuan and Wei Muran walked over and said calmly.
Wei Muran observed Xu Heyou.
Whether it was his profession as a psychiatrist or an author, Xu Heyou was very much in line with people's psychological settings.
He was wearing a well-fitting suit, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and a laptop bag in his hand.
No matter how one looked at him, he was an elite, the type that people would trust and have a good impression of.
It was unknown why Xu Heyou was so satisfied with Qi Youxuan's words, but he didn't struggle, didn't try to escape, and didn't try to escape. His eyes were even shining with satisfaction. "Then I'll go with you."
