Card Room - 194. Chapter 272-273

【Chapter 272, Stand-in】

After Yu Hanjiang went home at night, he watched the variety show “It’s Dark, Please Close Your Eyes” filmed by “Qiao Xuening” in the early morning of the 17th. During the whole show, there were many close-up facial close-ups. Yu Hanjiang took the face from the variety show The screenshot is compared with the enlarged promotional photos of Qiao Xuening on the Internet.

——The two faces are exactly the same, there is no difference at all.

It’s just that the person who recorded the variety show has a slightly hoarse voice, which sounds like a cold.

Yu Hanjiang frowned and fell into contemplation.

Is there really anyone who looks so similar in this world? Unless they are identical twins, the appearance of identical twins will be difficult to distinguish due to the same genetics. But even if other people look alike, they won’t look like this to such an extent.

Yu Hanjiang retrieved Qiao Xuening’s family information from the computer. The data showed that Qiao Xuening was an only child and had no twin sisters. Her parents were ordinary company employees.

In an interview, Qiao Xuening also mentioned that her mother is an only daughter, and her father has four brothers, and all of them are sons. There is only one daughter in the Qiao family’s generation. She has been favored by her grandparents and grandparents since she was a child. If what she said is true, then she probably doesn’t have cousins or cousins who look alike.

Could it be that the information is false?

All current reasoning is based on “Qiao Xuening has a substitute.” As long as this substitute is found, everything can be solved. But if this reasoning is wrong, they have to find new ideas.

At present, the agent Qi Ming, Zhou Yuanyuan who was disfigured in the robbing scene, and the artillery friend Cheng Yu have all investigated, and only Qiao Xuening is left with a lot of fog, and Yu Hanjiang intends to continue the investigation along the line of Qiao Xuening.

*

The next morning, after Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou met, they discussed the next plan together.

First of all, Yu Hanjiang wanted to visit Qiao Xuening’s hometown secretly to see if she has twin sisters, or relatives and sisters who look alike. They can pretend to be her through makeup, which makes people invisible. Secondly, Yu Hanjiang also has the information about Qiao Xuening’s first love boyfriend. This person has many relatives in his hometown. You can investigate his whereabouts by the way and uncover the truth that Qiao Xuening’s privacy was exploded back then.

In addition, Yu Hanjiang also asked Shao Qingge to continue to investigate the details of Lin Yiyan’s online drama “Young Hearts” audition, to see if Qiao Xuening had conflicts with Lin Yiyan as early as that time.

After the arrangements were made, Yu Hanjiang drove up to Xiaolou and went to the household registration office, the bank, the Administration for Industry and Commerce and other places to investigate the information of Qiao Xuening’s first love boyfriend.

This person’s name is Xu Kai, who grew up in the same small town as Qiao Xuening. He has been registered in the small town and has no record of relocation.

He has several properties under his name. In addition, he is also the owner of an Internet cafe and two hot pot cities. Judging from the tax clearance records of the tax bureau in recent years, his annual income is not worse than that of celebrities.

After her privacy was exploded, Qiao Xuening described in an interview that she grew up in a small town. Every day after graduating from the college entrance examination, the girls who just walked out of the middle school campus went to the Internet cafes to play games. The girls who just walked out of the middle school campus were too innocent and only looked at their faces. It’s also very cool, and she can slap her sisters, so she quickly fell and became a couple with Xu Kai.

The two had a fairly sweet holiday. Later, when she went to school in the film school, she did not abandon her first love boyfriend as Xu Kai said that she “dislikes the poor and loves the rich”, but has a long-term long-distance relationship, weakened feelings, and broke up peacefully. Of course, this is Qiao Xuening’s official statement, which is completely different from the version Xu Kai said. The people who eat melons didn’t know who to believe at the time.

After Xu Kai exposed a large number of private photos of her, she and her first love boyfriend had already torn apart and went to court. In the end, Qiao Xuening sued Xu Kai for her reputation infringement case. Xu Kai compensated her for the high amount of spiritual damages, and she has been dead forever. Xu Kai also completely disappeared from the public’s vision. This all happened four years ago.

After this incident, Qiao Xuening temporarily withdrew from the entertainment circle, was silent for two years, and then returned.

On the way to the bank, Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou discussed the case.

Xiao Lou said: “Xu Kai was the owner of an Internet cafe back then. No matter how good the Internet cafe’s business is, can he make a lot of money to open so many hot pot restaurants? Back then, Qiao Xuening sued him for a reputation infringement case, and he lost a lot of money.”

Yu Hanjiang said: “Judging from the tax record of his Internet cafes, he did not have that much income in the past few years. Each of the hot pot restaurants opened in the past few years is very large, and the investment must be millions. Where does he come from? What? It’s very likely that he made some kind of deal with someone.”

Xiao Lou agreed: “Maybe, he exposes Qiao Xuening’s private photos, because he is behind the scenes.”

A few years ago, his first girlfriend suddenly became a big star. If the other party had abandoned him, it would be natural for him to feel uncomfortable, but he exposed the other party’s privacy and posted his girlfriend’s nude/photos everywhere on the Internet. Excessive, right? Normal people would not act like this.

Either there is a pusher behind him who wants to deliberately black Qiao Xuening, or the character of this first love boyfriend is really bad.

The two came to the bank and investigated the bank turnover under Xu Kai’s name for the past four years, and there was no record of transferring large sums of money.

There is no problem with Lin Yiyan’s private bank flow and studio flow. Yu Hanjiang has checked this a long time ago, and the broker Qi Ming’s account is also normal.

So, where did Xu Kai get the money to open Hot Pot City three years ago?

Xiao Lou was puzzled: “Looking at the tax records on his Internet cafes, his annual income should be between RMB 150,000 and RMB 200,000. The reputation lawsuit was lost. He compensated Qiao Xuening for a one-off reputation loss of RMB 1 million. Should have lost all these years of deposits, how can there be spare money, and opened two large hot pot cities in a row after one year?”

Yu Hanjiang frowned and said: “There must be someone giving him money, but Lin Yiyan and Qi Ming can’t find clues about their bank accounts. It’s probably a cash transaction.”

Xiao Loudao: “In the two large hot pot cities, the start-up amount is at least several million yuan for decoration costs, store rents, and waiter’s wages. In cash, Lin Yiyan does not withdraw from the bank account, and can’t save it if he saves it in the usual way. More.”

Yu Hanjiang was silent for a moment, and suddenly his inspiration flashed, and said, “Look if she has a record of real estate transactions four years ago!”

The two drove to the Housing Management Bureau again to investigate Lin Yiyan’s real estate transfer records, and they really found a clue—Four years ago, Lin Yiyan sold his own house and transferred the real estate. To an elderly couple.

Yu Hanjiang immediately looked for the old couple to investigate, and the other party said: “The house was bought four years ago. Miss Lin was in a hurry to sell it. The price is relatively favorable. The transaction price is 3 million yuan, including the transfer fee. But she said that we need some cash to let us Directly withdraw cash for the transaction. My wife and I brought a box of money and signed a contract with her on the spot.”

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other and understood.

Four years ago, Lin Yiyan sold his house and got 3 million in cash; four years ago, when Qiao Xuening was a big hit and had a chance to win the queen laurel, a privacy scandal broke out suddenly, causing him to fall into the altar overnight. ; It was also that year, Qiao Xuening told Xu Kai tearfully, Xu Kai lost the lawsuit and compensated 1 million, but the following year, Xu Kai obtained business licenses for two large hot pot cities in the Administration of Industry and Commerce.

This logical chain is very clear-Lin Yiyan’s cash that went missing was probably in Xu Kai’s hands.

A good girlfriend who talks about everything?

It seems that these two people are simply plastic sisterhood.

【Chapter 272, the truth about the substitute】

In the morning, Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou were so busy that they went to three places in a row.

After eating at noon, the two drove to Qiao Xuening’s hometown.

In the four-hour drive, Yu Hanjiang asked Xiao Lou to sleep for a while, but Xiao Lou was not sleepy. He reorganized the clues of the entire case in the car, and recorded all the current doubts in the memo.

Until five o’clock in the afternoon, the car finally drove smoothly to Qiao Xuening’s hometown.

Qiao Xuening mentioned in the interview that her hometown is famous for its snow scenes. Yu Hanjiang and Xiaolou came this time, just in time for the snowfall yesterday. At a glance, one after another, brand-new buildings were covered by snow, and there was a continuous snow-capped mountain around the town and the snow on the high mountains. You can’t see the end, like a beautiful scroll slowly unfolding in front of your eyes.

The snow scene here is well-deserved, and because of the snow, the cold air seems to be much fresher than that in the big cities.

The snow on the road was frozen. Yu Hanjiang and Xiaolou had to be careful when they walked. After they parked their car, they asked the locals to inquire, and went to the “Whale Internet Cafe” together.

This Internet cafe has a history of more than ten years in the small town. It should have just been renovated and expanded in the past two years. The former small Internet cafe has been transformed into a tall Internet cafe, occupying two floors and a whole wall. The floor-to-ceiling windows are spacious and bright, and the snow-capped mountains in the distance can be viewed without obstacles through the windows.

Because of the invincible viewing seats, it attracted many tourists from other places. Yu Hanjiang and Xiaolou took a glance after entering and found that the second floor was almost full of people. They found the front desk of the Internet cafe, and a sweet-looking girl asked: “Do you two drink coffee or surf the Internet?”

Yu Hanjiang took out the police officer ID and gave her a look: “Is your boss Xu Kai here?”

The girl was startled and said, “Boss? He rarely comes here. I haven’t seen him for more than a month.”

Yu Hanjiang: “Do you know where he is recently?”

Girl: “I don’t know this. Our Internet cafe is in charge of Manager Zhang. He is here today. I will call him over for a while.”

The manager of the Internet cafe quickly came to the front desk and said unexpectedly: “Police? What are you doing with my cousin?”

Yu Hanjiang said: “Don’t worry, we didn’t come to him to catch him back, but to investigate some clues.”

The other party was obviously relieved when he heard this, and explained: “He should sleep late at home. There was a liquor bureau last night. He was drunk. He may not be up yet.”

Yu Hanjiang found Xu Kai at the address provided by his cousin.

His residence is very stylish. In the best villa area in the town, there are two luxury cars parked at the door. According to Yu Hanjiang’s investigation, he is unmarried so far, but his girlfriend is constantly, and his private life is chaotic.

Hearing the doorbell ringing non-stop, Xu Kai rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked down, with an unkind expression on his face: “Who?”

Yu Hanjiang said calmly: “Police, please Mr. Xu to open the door.”

Xu Kai raised her eyebrows, came up to open the door suspiciously, and said, “What is the police looking for? I have been drinking with people every day for the past few days…Could it be someone who drank to death?”

Yu Hanjiang asked directly: “Do you remember Qiao Xuening?”

Xu Kai’s face stiffened slightly, and he opened the door to let the two of them enter the house.

He poured a glass of water for the two of them, and sat on the sofa with Erlang’s legs tilted and said: “What’s wrong with Qiao Xuening? Didn’t the case between me and her have been closed long ago? The police came to the door, is she going to sue me again?”

Yu Hanjiang said: “Four years ago, why did you suddenly expose her photos?”

Xu Kai raised her mouth jokingly: “It’s just revenge. She pretends to be a lady in front of fans, and she pretends to be innocent during interviews. I just want her fans to see her true face.”

Yu Hanjiang asked coldly: “When you exposed the photos, didn’t you know that this infringement of people’s privacy was illegal?”

Xu Kai shrugged indifferently: “I didn’t think so much at the time. When she was with me, she called my husband every day, and she loved me so much that she couldn’t live without love. As a result, she went to college and saw the wealthy and charming little ones around her. Fresh meat, she began to despise me for my ignorance and a bad background. She wanted to get rid of me, and gave her an excuse for “long-distance relationship is painful”. It’s really cheap.”

He paused, and said, “So, I posted her picture on the Internet, trying to get a bad breath. If you dare to dump me, I want her to be fruitless.”

Yu Hanjiang said: “You lost the lawsuit and lost a lot of money? Have you ever regretted what you did impulsively?”

Xu Kai said locally, “Regret? Isn’t it just money? You can make more money if you lose it.”

This man is completely a rogue.

Yu Hanjiang couldn’t help frowning: “Did anyone instruct you to do this?”

Xu Kai laughed and said: “Who dare to instruct me? I grew up, and it depends on my mood to hear what my father said. I just think this woman is too hypocritical, so I lost a few photos of her on the Internet to let everyone Appreciate together, nothing else.”

Xiao Lou: “…”

This Xu Kai put on an attitude of “I am a hooligan, what can you do to me”. It is obviously very difficult to pry his mouth open, so I can only rely on Team Yu to interrogate him. Xiao Lou feels a headache when he sees this kind of people. .

Yu Hanjiang stared at him coldly and said, “Where did the money to open the hot pot restaurant come from?”

Xu Kai said: “I earned it myself.”

Yu Hanjiang threw the tax clearance record of the tax bureau in front of him: “You open two hot pot restaurants, and the decoration cost is not less than one million, right? But the annual income of your Internet cafe is only about 150,000 from the tax amount. You can only afford to open a hot pot restaurant after saving for ten years. What’s more, before you opened the restaurant, you just lost the lawsuit to Qiao Xuening and indemnified millions of dollars in compensation.”

Xu Kai: “…”

The man’s face gradually became hard to look at. Obviously, he didn’t expect the policeman to come prepared, and he even found out the income of his Internet cafe. He scratched his hair casually, and said perfunctorily: “I have other income.”

Yu Hanjiang: “Then you are tax evasion?”

Xu Kai: “…”

It’s difficult now. Say that you have not evaded taxes, because this income can’t afford to open two hot pot cities. Say that you have other income, but if you pay taxes, you will be taxed on the income of 150,000 years. Tax evasion and tax evasion so much is also going to jail!

Xu Kai’s face was a little stiff, and he was about to speak. As a result, Yu Hanjiang said: “Don’t say it’s a loan from a bank. Bank loans will have a loan record. We went to the bank to check. You don’t have a loan under your name.”

Xu Kai: “I’m asking my buddies to borrow…”

Yu Hanjiang: “If you are looking for someone to borrow privately, please provide information on the IOU, the borrower and the repayment. Otherwise, if the source of so much money is unknown, we can still ask a colleague from the Economic Investigation Department to go back and investigate your financial problems.”

Xu Kai was blocked with nothing to say, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Yu Hanjiang hugged his arms and looked at him lightly: “Lin Yiyan gave it to you, right.”

Xu Kai’s back stiffened suddenly, and he refused to speak with a calm face.

Yu Hanjiang continued: “Furthermore, she didn’t dare to leave a clear record in the bank flow, so she didn’t transfer the money to you, but sold a house, and then asked the buyer to give her cash, and she gave the cash directly to you. 3 million ,right?”

As if being said to have been in her heart, Xu Kai’s mouth twitched, and she trembled: “Police officer, this… Lin Yiyan took the initiative to find me to expose Qiao Xuening’s scandal, and said he would give me a large sum of money for me. I have no worries about food and clothing in this life, I am tempted! Even if it is illegal, she is the master! I am just an accessory… The big deal, I will pay the money to Qiao Xuening, anyway, my hot pot city business is getting better and better in the past few years , A few million is not a big deal, can I pay her all? It has been so long, does she still report the case and ask you to come and investigate me?”

After being asked repeatedly by Yu Hanjiang, this guy finally made a move.

Yu Hanjiang has his own set of methods to deal with such hooligans.

To post a private photo of his girlfriend on the Internet for money, the man himself has no principles. He can sell Qiao Xuening for money, and naturally he can sell Lin Yiyan, his employer, for self-protection.

Yu Hanjiang said indifferently: “It wasn’t Qiao Xuening who asked us to check you.”

Xu Kai was stunned: “Then…Four years ago, the court had already sentenced, I lost money and I also apologized publicly, why come to me now?”

Yu Hanjiang: “Lin Yiyan is dead.”

Xu Kai was stunned. Realizing the meaning of this sentence, his face turned blue, his fingers clenched vigorously, and he trembled: “You, you suspect, it was Qiao Xuening who killed her in order to retaliate against her?”

Yu Hanjiang nodded: “It’s possible. So, you’d better cooperate with us and tell the truth.”

The strawbag man was probably scared, and nodded frantically: “I must say! Qiao Xuening hasn’t contacted me in the past few years. She has deleted my contact information a long time ago, and I have also changed my mobile phone in the past few years. I’ve contacted, and I thought that what happened back then was over. Didn’t she come back again, didn’t she mix well?”

Yu Hanjiang asked, “Does Qiao Xuening have twin sisters, or someone who looks like her?”

Xu Kai shook her head: “No, she is an only child. Their home is not far from mine. When she was young, I saw her often playing alone in the square. I never heard of any sisters.”

Yu Hanjiang then asked: “Does she like ice cubes?”

Xu Kai was stunned by this question. After a moment of silence, she said: “Ice? She is most afraid of ice. She is born with cold body. In winter, even if there is heating at home, she must insert an electric blanket in advance when she sleeps. It’s getting hot, or I can’t sleep at all. It snows a lot here. When others are playing in the snow, she dare not touch the snow. She always puts her hands in her pockets when she walks.”

When Xiao Lou heard this, he couldn’t help but wonder-what does the ice in Lin Yiyan’s bathtub mean? Is it related to being afraid of cold?

Next, Yu Hanjiang asked a lot about Qiao Xuening, including habits and hobbies, but Xu Kai fell in love with her more than ten years ago. She had just graduated from high school at that time, which is a world of difference.

Xu Kai has very limited knowledge of her, so there are only so many clues he can provide.

Yu Hanjiang exhorted: “If Qiao Xuening is really the murderer of Lin Yiyan, you will also be in danger. Be careful to get revenge by her. She is filming these days, and the show will soon be over. You will try to bring someone to accompany you when you go out. , Besides, don’t be at home alone.”

Xu Kai had a hairy back and shook the goose bumps all over his body. He said, “I, I know, I must be careful!”

Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou left Xu Kai’s house. Then he visited Qiao Xuening’s school and the community where he lived as a child.

Neighbors in the neighborhood and school teachers said that Qiao Xuening has no twin sisters, and has never seen a girl who looks like her.

If she grew up here, it would be impossible for her parents to have two daughters and hide one of them. What’s more, the hospital in the county town has her mother’s delivery records. If a girl was born, it is impossible for the doctor to miss a baby, right?

Therefore, the suspicion that Qiao Xuening has twin sisters can be completely eliminated.

Where did the person who looks like her come from?

*

This town is a four-hour drive from Binzhou City. Yu Hanjiang and Xiaolou have checked the clues at nine o’clock in the evening. They went to the hot pot restaurant opened by Xu Kai for a hot pot meal and found that the business in this restaurant is indeed good. It was full of seats late.

The two decided to stay here for one night.

Yu Hanjiang booked a local hotel. After dinner, he and Xiao Lou returned to the hotel together. The two took a shower and started discussing today’s harvest. Yu Hanjiang said: “The biggest problem right now is to find the substitute.”

Xiao Lou said: “If you are not twins, how can there be people like this?”

Yu Hanjiang thought about it carefully, and said: “Plastic surgery.”

Xiao Lou was stunned, and quickly reacted: “Yes, the current plastic surgery technology is so advanced. It is completely medically achievable if you want to face a person’s face and make it look similar.”

Yu Hanjiang nodded: “Qiao Xuening’s height is 168cm and weight is 50kg, which is relatively well-proportioned. It is not difficult to find a girl with the same height and weight as her. As long as the other person has a similar face shape, let the other person perform cosmetic surgery based on her facial features. , Put on another makeup, in this way, the person who was “made” by the operation would become a stand-in exactly like Qiao Xuening.”

When Xiao Lou heard this, he only felt a hairy heart: “So, Qiao Xuening was hit hard, and during the two years of depression, it was not depression, almost suicide, hiding at home to adjust his mood, but… creating a self. Dedicated stand-in?”

Yu Hanjiang said: “It’s possible. In those two years, she disappeared from the public and terminated the contract with her previous agent. Even her parents didn’t want to see her. Maybe she knew it was Lin Yi by then. Yan instructed her first love boyfriend to expose her photos, causing her nude/photos to spread all over the Internet and be privately collected by countless people. She harbored a grudge and wanted to kill Lin Yiyan.”

Xiao Lou continued on this topic: “But she was worried that she would be sentenced if she murdered? So, after thinking about it, she decided to secretly create a stand-in. When necessary, use the stand-in as an alibi so that she can Picking yourself up clean, the police investigation is deadlocked.”

Yu Hanjiang said: “The perpetrator of the Lin Yiyan case is very clever. After freezing Lin Yiyan in the bathtub, he still used Lin Yiyan’s mobile phone to send WeChat to relatives and friends, confusing Lin Yiyan’s death time. If it weren’t for a neighbor The cat at home suddenly jumped into the window on the top of the building and was bloodied in panic. Perhaps her next plan is to log on to Lin Yiyan’s Weibo and announce her withdrawal from the entertainment industry.”

The more Xiao Lou thought about it, the more terrifying it became.

She silently killed Lin Yiyan, and then forged Lin Yiyan’s statement of leaving the circle, making Lin Yiyan disappear completely. After a while, she came back to deal with the corpse again, and everyone could not find Lin Yiyan.

Let a person completely disappear from the world, but also can pick one’s own suspicion clean, the meticulous scheming makes people fearful.

The two were discussing, but Yu Hanjiang’s phone rang suddenly.

A nervous voice from the police trainee, Xiao Wu, was heard: “Team Yu, it’s not good! A murder occurred in the villa area of Bingxue Town, and a man named Xu Kai was killed! It is said that it was his cousin that night. When I went back to look for him, I opened the door and found that Xu Kai had died in the bathtub. This was the police who called! The local police have already gone to the scene…”

Yu Hanjiang’s face changed suddenly, and immediately put on his coat and Xiaolou and went to the scene.

As he strode out, he called Qu Wanyue: “Teacher Qu, where is Qiao Xuening?”

Qu Wanyue said: “I finished dancing with me just now and went back to the hotel to sleep.”

Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou looked at each other.

Qiao Xuening was still filming on the crew. Qu Wanyue stared at her during the day. At night, Shao Qingge arranged for Liu Qiao to live in the room on the roof of her building to pay close attention to her movement. She couldn’t run far away for four hours. Go to the small town and kill Xu Kai.

Xu Kai was suddenly killed, who would be the murderer?

Is it Qiao Xuening or her stand-in?

Is the person filming in the crew really Qiao Xuening?

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

See you tomorrow, this case is about to come to an end:)
