She is in the fog

In the previous life, He Xi had torn off Ren Yan's coat when fighting with him. She vaguely remembered that he had a poppy tattoo on his arm.

From Mingmei's tone just now, it was obvious that she had seen this tattoo with her own eyes.

He Xi seemed to have discovered a new world. He quickly pulled Ming Mei aside and said solemnly: "Ming Ming, you must answer all the questions I ask you from now on truthfully. There is no need to wonder why I ask these questions. You just need to know that this is very important to me. Do you understand?"

Seeing He Xi so nervous and cautious, Ming Mei said "Oh" as if she understood.

"Have you seen a poppy tattoo somewhere?"

"In Gaoge KTV in Qingyang City." Mingmei nodded and said, "I remember it was the Dragon Boat Festival holiday. I was shopping and saw my classmate Bai Yanlang being dragged into that KTV by several people. I was afraid that something had happened to her, so I called the police and went in to look for her. But I found the wrong door. When I opened it, I found several shirtless men sitting inside. One of them had the same flower tattooed on his arm. I thought it was a poppy until you explained it to me. It turned out to be an opium poppy."

"Do you remember what that person looks like?"

Mingmei rolled her eyes and thought for a moment, then answered, "He had a shaved head and thick eyebrows that looked like two black caterpillars from a distance. He was very thin, but not skinny, he was lean. I didn't pay much attention to the rest, but the thing that impressed me the most was the tattoo on his arm, which I told you about before."

According to the DV recorded by Wen Wan, Ren Yan has almost no eyebrows, so why does Ming Mei say that his eyebrows are very thick and bushy?

No, a man as cunning as Ren Yan, who could hide for ten years without being arrested and even became the leader of a criminal group, might have faked the identity of "Ren Yan", which should not be underestimated. Eyebrows are a trivial matter, they can be shaved off anytime and anywhere, so this is not the point at all.

He Xi continued to ask: "What about the eyes? Do you still remember his eyes?"

"Very scary." Mingmei frowned and said, "I accidentally looked into his eyes and I felt like he wanted to eat me up. How should I put it? Although it's a bit impolite, my first feeling was that he didn't look like a human, but rather like a jackal in the animal world, lying dormant waiting to catch prey, with a faint and fierce light in his eyes. So I was so scared that I apologized to them immediately and quickly closed the door."

It was this kind of look that made He Xi feel the same as Ming Mei when he first noticed Ren Yan in the photo in the auditorium.

If the man with a poppy tattoo on his arm that Mingmei saw in the Gaoge KTV in Qingyang City was Ren Yan, then this should be the first intersection of their lives.

But if they only met once, why would he kill Mingmei? Could it be that she saw something she shouldn't have seen?
"Mingming, did you see anything strange in that room?"

Mingmei shook her head. "I was already nervous, and that person's eyes were so scary that I didn't dare to look at him any longer. I left in a hurry." Seeing He Xi's frown, Mingmei couldn't help but worry and asked tremblingly, "He Xi, do you think they are bad guys? Should we call the police?"

"It's too late." He Xi shook his head slightly and fell into deep self-blame.

If that glance in the KTV was the beginning of everything, then she had the time and ability to stop Mingmei from entering this cycle of reincarnation. However, because of her selfish love at that time, she stubbornly did not want to change the trajectory of their first meeting and did not meet Mingmei in advance.

All in all, I regret it.

But she also understood that the regret she felt now was just hindsight and would not change anything. The only thing to do now was to find Ren Yan as soon as possible.

Can't wait any longer.
He Xi made a secret decision.

Over the weekend, He Xi found Xia Xunzhen through various methods.

Sure enough, this internet-addicted girl would sneak into illegal internet cafes to surf the Internet whenever she had time.

He Xi turned on a computer next to her, but did not log in to anything. He just clicked into the web forum and searched for the account homepage of the forum friend [Mutated Poppy].

Then she looked at Xia Xunzhen who was standing beside her. Seeing that her game was almost over, she stretched out her index finger and tapped her desk. "Sister, can you help me?"

Xia Xunzhen turned around and suddenly widened his eyes, "Why are you here again?"

"Don't worry about this."

Xia Xunzhen took off her headphones, her face showing a helpless expression. She sighed, "Who are you if not my elder sister? Did you install a locator on me? How could you find me in such a remote internet cafe?"

"My name is He Xi, and I'm a student in Class 5, Grade of Nanzhou No. Middle School. Xia Xunzhen, I really need your help!"

"I already helped you once last time."

"Help them to the end, just help them once more." He Xi said solemnly, "I promise, this is a matter of life and death."

Xia Xunzhen asked back: "What does that have to do with me?"

He Xi used the same old trick again, "Of course, if you don't help me, I will tell your mother that you didn't go to the cram school and secretly went to the black Internet cafe to surf the Internet."

Xia Xunzhen felt that He Xi was really inexplicable, so he simply put on his headphones again and said indifferently: "It's up to you, do whatever you want."

Last time, He Xi threatened her with reporting the incident, so she had no choice but to help her win the seventh game and beat the other driver. As a result, after He Xi left, her mother rushed to the Internet cafe, scolded her without saying anything, and dragged her back to the cram school. Thinking of what He Xi said before, Xia Xun really felt that she was tricked and became a free worker. She helped her win the game in vain, but she turned around and sold her out. Now that she thinks about it, maybe He Xi is the "spy" her mother planted next to her, so she didn't bother to pay attention to her, and quickly pressed the "F5" on the keyboard to start a new game. It's better to play more before her mother comes to catch her.

It's strange, why is Xia Xunzhen so unwilling to take any soft or hard actions? He Xi stood up from his seat, walked behind her, hugged his chest and watched her play games, with a puzzled expression.

Xia Xunzhen is really uncooperative, which is really a problem.

But in the current situation, she must get Xia Xunzhen's help.

In her previous life, Xia Xunzhen was a portrait artist at the Nanzhou City Public Security Bureau. According to other colleagues, she had shown an amazing talent for painting since she was a child, and was nicknamed "human camera" in high school. She was an art student, needless to say her professional level, but her academic performance was very poor. She was 60 points away from the admission line in her first college entrance examination. Her academic score did not pass the line, and even though she ranked first in the province in art majors, it was of no avail, so she had to repeat the year and retake the exam.

In addition, although her cultural score is not satisfactory, she has a great interest in computers. She taught herself in her teens and became a mysterious IT tycoon [Summer Wind] with many fans on the forum.

Therefore, He Xi needed her to do two things:
The first thing is to find the IP address of [Mutated Poppy].
The second thing is to perfectly reproduce the portraits of "Ren Yan" in three forms.

Considering Mingmei's safety, He Xi didn't care about so much anymore. He had used a dirty trick last time anyway, so it didn't matter this time.

She cleared her throat and saw that the car driven by Xia Xunzhen had crossed the finish line on the screen. She simply pulled off her headphones and said seriously, "Xia Xunzhen, because you didn't want to go to evening self-study, you secretly hacked into the school's power supply system, causing the school to be out of power for two hours, and even the generator couldn't be used. You don't want others to know about this, right?"

Xia Xunzhen was having a great time when He Xi suddenly took off her headphones. She couldn't help but feel a little angry. Just when she was about to lose her temper, she heard something "amazing" from her mouth. She was immediately stunned, and her mouth became so big that it seemed like an egg could be stuffed in it.

No, how could she know this? She had never mentioned this to anyone! Moreover, she thought she had done it perfectly, and even if an expert came to investigate, they would never find out that she was the one, but how did she know this?
Xia Xunzhen couldn't help but panic. She felt that He Xi's identity was not ordinary. Could it be that she was also a big shot? Or was she a higher level than her? No wonder she could accurately find the location where she was surfing the Internet. Could it be because of this?
After a flash of thought, Xia Xunzhen determined this fact. She couldn't help but think that she was inferior to the opponent and had been defeated. She raised the white flag in her heart and said dejectedly: "Okay, okay, I am inferior to the opponent, I admit defeat! You can kill me or cut me up as you like. You can report it to the teacher, the parents, or the principal... Sigh."

"I definitely didn't mean to sue you, but the situation forced me to do it." He Xi explained, "I've said it before, I want to ask you for a favor."

Xia Xunzhen raised his head and asked in confusion, "What help?"

"Can you draw a few pictures for me?"

She went through so much trouble just to ask her to draw a few pictures? Xia Xunzhen raised an eyebrow, a little bit unbelieving.

He Xi then added: "I will describe the specific scene, and you draw it according to my description."

She was free anyway, and she thought He Xi was a technical expert, so she wanted to make friends with her. So, these paintings could be seen as a stepping stone.

Xia Xunzhen agreed without hesitation: "Okay, I'll help you draw. I'm free now. Will you come to the studio with me?"

"Wait." He Xi stretched out his hand to stop him, "Before that, I need to trouble you to do something."

"What else?"

He Xi pointed at his own machine and said, "Check the IP address of this forum account. It would be best if it can be accurate to the street or community."

Hearing this, Xia Xun was really confused. This was different from what she thought? In the last second, she thought He Xi was a technical expert, but in the next second, she wanted her to check the IP address? And it had to be accurate to the street and community! Regardless of whether she could do it or not, the key point was that it was illegal to query and retrieve other people's information without permission.

Although she is a little naughty, she is also a good citizen who abides by the law.

She shook her head hurriedly: "I can't check it."

He Xi frowned and pleaded sincerely: "Please! Human life is at stake. I must know the exact address of this ID."

"Then you should go to the Public Security Bureau and let the police investigate."

He Xi sighed and blew her bangs irritably. She wanted to find the police, but she had no evidence at the moment and the public security organs would not help her with the investigation based on her one-sided story.

She took a deep breath and asked again: "You really can't check it?"

Xia Xunzhen nodded affirmatively. Seeing that He Xi looked a little lonely, he asked casually, "Do you still need me to draw?"

"Yes." He Xi sat back in his seat, "But please wait for me for a while."

"what are you up to?"

He Xi stared at the computer screen and answered firmly: "I'll check it myself."
