Chapter 176 May Not Die (Please Subscribe!)
Zhoucheng Weitan Administration Bureau, a small conference room on the second floor.

When Wei An and Pei Na arrived, investigator Hu Fei, Luo Xiaoya and two other survivors were already waiting here.

The specific inquiry has not yet started, and Hu Fei is going to wait for Wei An to arrive before proceeding.

The three were notified to come to the Administration, knowing that they would be interviewed for the final record here.

Wei An also read the information of the other two survivors in advance. Neither of them lived in Zhoucheng, nor did they know each other. The old woman was visiting relatives in Zhoucheng. I am going to buy a toy for my granddaughter to take home.

The young man was out on a trip and happened to wander into that shopping mall.

The residences and families of these two people in other cities have been verified by the local security bureau, and they are consistent with their descriptions, and they belong to the first time participants of the strange talk.

After Wei'an and Pei Na arrived, they did not greet Luo Xiaoya, but isolated the three of them first, and asked them about the plot after they entered the strange story, and then Pei Na confirmed the process.

It was found that except for some inaccurate time and place deviations in memory, what the three said basically matched.

Then Wei An brought the three of them together again, and asked some of the same questions that they had already mastered, and the answers they got were almost the same, which meant that they also experienced the same plot in the ghost talk.

During this period, Luo Xiaoya was a little puzzled, because she found that Wei'an's attitude towards her seemed less caring and enthusiastic than before, and became much colder, and it was an undisguised coldness.

Afterwards, the three of them were left in the conference room, while Wei An, Pei Na, and Hu Fei went into the adjacent office to discuss in detail.

Wei An expressed his conjecture, "At present, it seems that there are only two possibilities. One is that all of this is indeed a coincidence, including the occurrence of the strange story and they were inadvertently sucked into the strange story, and then escaped smoothly. It is just the investigation of Luo Xiaoya and the setting sun kingdom. The incident of the member's derailment has given us some other guesses, but these guesses are actually not true."

"What about the second possibility?" Pei Na asked.

Wei An said: "The second possibility is false, the whole thing is false, these three survivors are lying, and this lie was premeditated, every detail can be confirmed, so I can't see it Make any flaws."

Hu Fei was speechless: "If you really want to do this, if you just want to murder Zhou Xin, is it worth it?"

Wei An nodded, "Yes, if Luo Xiaoya just wants to be with the investigator of the Setting Sun Kingdom and annex Zhou Xin's property, it's really not worth it to do it with such a big battle. After all, there are too many accidents in the strange stories, It's not as safe as planned. So, I guess maybe they have other reasons."

Pei Na said: "If I am behind the scenes, through the ghost story detector, I can indeed know in advance that there is a ghost story in that store, and I can make arrangements for this ghost story, but the premise is that I must be very, very familiar with the ghost story, at least experience There were a lot of strange stories.”

"The investigators from the Setting Sun Country should be able to do this," Hu Fei said.

Pei Na continued: "Then I have to be very clear about how to arrange in this strange talk, how to make Zhou Xin seem to have died because of his own reasons, and other survivors who can leave have their own reasons for being able to survive , no flaws were revealed."

Wei An corrected: "It's actually very simple, as long as the three survivors are a group, they conspire to kill Zhou Xin in the ghost story, and then fabricate a seamless ghost story plot, it can be the statements we heard just now gone."

"But these three people have their own identities in the real world, and they don't know each other, and they haven't seen each other before. We have already investigated this point." Pei Na said.

"That's where the suspicion lies." Wei'an nodded, "It's impossible to prepare so much just to get rid of Zhou Xin. If it's what we guessed, the reason behind the whole thing is the key point."

After a pause, he said again: "There is no result for now, let them disperse later, but they cannot leave Zhoucheng without our permission."

Hu Fei said: "Brother An, then I will not close the case for the time being, until you have a final conclusion."

"Okay, sorry to trouble you." Wei An patted him on the shoulder.

After returning to the meeting room, there was no communication between the three survivors at this time, and it seemed that they did not know each other, so there was nothing to say.

Wei An glanced over the three of them one by one, and then said: "It's ok, the final record is finished, you can go now, but you can't leave Zhoucheng for the time being. Especially you and you."

As he spoke, he pointed to the young man and the old woman sitting beside him.

"Weian, is there anything else you need to investigate?" Luo Xiaoya stood up and asked.

"Of course we need to investigate." Wei'an said: "Zhou Xin gave me a dream last night. His face was pale and his whole body was shriveled, as if his body had lost moisture. He said that his death was inexplicable, so I must Investigate clearly."

Speaking of this, Wei An shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know if it's because I'm thinking too much, thinking about it every day, dreaming about it at night, or some other reason."

Hearing Wei'an's expressionless expression, Luo Xiaoya's face immediately turned pale, staring at Wei'an, then she grabbed the satchel beside her and followed the others to the meeting room.

Wei An observed carefully, and saw that she didn't show too much fear or panic on her face, but was trying to suppress some kind of nervousness.

Until everyone left the conference room, Wei An was still bowing his head in thought.

Pei Na leaned forward and said, "What did you think of?"

Wei An replied: "Just now I deliberately said that Zhou Xin entrusted me with a dream last night. He died a terrible death, and tried to describe his tragic appearance, but Luo Xiaoya didn't show any fear. You must know that this woman usually gave me a dream. It’s impossible for her to be so courageous.”

"Then why isn't she afraid?" Pei Na was surprised.

Wei An said: "There are two possibilities. One is that Zhou Xin died accidentally in the strange story. It has nothing to do with her. She didn't do anything wrong, so she won't be afraid of my description. The other possibility is that she did something wrong. Yes, but... Zhou Xin is not dead, it is impossible for her to become a ghost and give me dreams, so she will not be afraid."

Pei Na stared at Wei An in surprise, "The second one is probably too surprising."

Wei An raised his head and let out a sigh of relief, "It seems that the second possibility is more likely. Now you are responsible for following Luo Xiaoya, and I will follow the most suspected man."

"What about the old lady? Do you need someone to follow you?" Pei Na asked.

"Well, let's ask Hu Fei to follow." Wei An nodded, "But the focus is still on Luo Xiaoya and this man."
