"Hello, thank you for being interviewed by us."

"Oh, oh...you guys want to ask Xiao Lai?"

"Yes. Do you know that Mr. Lai is a comic fan and has created some works? Role-playing works."

"Cosplay? I don't know he plays this, but he should like these things very much. There are quite a few on his desk."

"Have he mentioned his favorite work to you?"

"This is not... we don't talk about this when we chat. We usually talk about football, we watch games, and games. We also play a lot of games."

"We actually wanted to interview Mr. Lai. Unfortunately, we couldn't contact him."

"He seems to have a physical problem. I don't know very well about the specifics. Before, since last month, he often took leave. When he was working, he had some problems, made mistakes in the report, and submitted the report late... How do you say... we also advised him to go to the hospital for a check-up. He seems to be in a bad mood. Maybe he stays up late... People nowadays are prone to stay up late, and there are too many temptations, haha. I'm sorry. I don't understand what you are asking me for."

"The main thing is to ask Mr. Lai about it. Mr. Lai hasn't mentioned that he is very famous in the animation circle? We want to interview some cosers, professionals, amateurs, and all of them. We want to introduce them to readers in their personal and their lives."

"oh."

"It's just a pity that I can't contact Mr. Lai."

"Well. He may be feeling uncomfortable recently. If you don't have a hurry, please contact him again after a while. I don't know much about this interview. We really don't talk much about this."

"So, does Mr. Lai have a partner?"

"What? Your question..."

"Just chatting casually. We will also interview Mr. Lai afterwards. What you told us here is that we are just a reference and a survey direction, which is considered a homework before the formal interview. So, please don't mind. The compensation we agreed to have will be paid as well."

"...you are not journalists, are you? Is anyone going to investigate Xiao Lai? He... has a girlfriend? has a wife?"

"Haha. Mr. Liu, as far as you know, does Mr. Lai have a dating partner?"

“…”

“…”

"Sure, there should be."

“Can you talk?”

"Well... this... I don't know much. His mobile phone screen and wallpaper are a girl. It's what you said before, cosplay. A red-haired girl wearing those fancy clothes and props. I just see it occasionally. He...he should be said to be quite explicit."

"Is it this girl?"

"Yes! That's it. It's a red-haired guy. I've seen this one too. He will browse his phone while eating and resting, just look at it. Someone in our office joked, and he said that this is his future wife. That, you should understand it, right? When people of our age, when they hear people talking about their wives, they decide to be a joke. I also think that the female star I like is my wife. I don't care. We young people just listen to it. Some old colleagues think it's unreliable... They don't understand it very much... This kind of joke is over. Xiao Lai is very serious. He will explain it very seriously, very... and very angry..."

"Did he take this seriously?"

"Well... I think he's a bit perverted. He's quite perverted. I thought he didn't know someone. He's just crazy fans... Is he going to harass this woman? So you guys come here..."

"Have he mentioned anything related? Any details are important."

"This... hasn't been mentioned for a while. When he talked about this before, he was very excited. Suddenly, from one day, he didn't say much. People also became... dark... as if they were heartbroken. We don't know what happened. When we were working, we spent less time talking about private affairs. We really wouldn't talk about such emotional matters... we'd better talk about football and games. He just didn't seem very happy."

“When did this transition happen?”

"I can't remember it clearly either... maybe last year, maybe at the beginning of this year... I can't remember it clearly. Well..."

"What else did you think of?"

"I remember, maybe I remembered it wrong... I remember that he had a bad temper for a while later. His person was quite emotional. When he first joined the company, it was a good idea. As for the newcomers... Our group recruited three or four people. When he came in, he was quite good. Later, after contacting him, he found that his person was emotional, had a temper and had a flurry of temper, and he even showed his face. To be honest, there were no people with good relationships with him. It was a bit unbearable."

"Have he mentioned what he was going to do? I mean, did he make excessive statements during the period of his mood change?"

"This is not. What did he really do? It doesn't matter if this girl?"

"Do you have any clues that can be provided to us? We will give you corresponding remuneration, so please rest assured."

"I don't know the others... By the way, he doesn't have enough attendance and may be fired. The company doesn't seem to be able to contact him... I don't know what to do next."

"Okay, thank you."

On October 15, 2011, Lai Xiaotian's online records were investigated. The search information included the keywords "How to pursue girls", "gifts for girls", "love words", "coser girlfriend", "girlfriend likes two-dimensional", "women refuse", "girlfriend ignores me", "girlfriend's friend", "love Gu", "how to get rid of annoying people", "magic", "black magic", etc.

On October 16, 2011, Lai Xiaotian's mobile phone location record was obtained. The suspect target was found: Room 632, 6th floor, Guangmao Building, Emerging Development Zone, Southeast Province.

On October 17, 2011, I went to Guangmao Building. Video file 07220111017.avi.

The angle of the video is a bit strange, unlike the videos taken by Aoba in the past, like a picture recorded by a pinhole camera.

The picture is bumpy and you can see the first floor gate of an office building.

Accompanied by footsteps, the camera entered the interior of the building and found the elevator.

When the elevator arrived at the sixth floor, everything was normal. This place was like an ordinary office building, but it was not prosperous enough. There seemed to be a few companies entering the market and I didn’t see anyone along the way. After arriving at the sixth floor, I only heard slight voices.

As soon as the elevator door opened, the first thing I saw was the signboard of an online education and training institution. There was no one at the front desk.

Walking along the corridor, I saw some offices. Most of the offices had no signs or lights, and it looked like an empty room.

After walking for a while, I saw the door of the room with the door number hanging. The number written on it was 617. Walking in for a while, I saw 616.

The camera turned 180 degrees and walked towards the other direction of the corridor. After passing by the elevator door again, you can see the signs of each room after reaching the other end of the corridor.

The room with the 632 brand hanging looks ordinary. The door of the room is closed and the blinds are pulled, so you can't see the situation inside. But this room is obviously larger than other rooms, and the doors of the next room are far apart.

A hand appeared in the camera and knocked on the door.

The knock on the door several times.

Liu Miao suddenly spoke: "There is a doorbell here."

The camera turned and saw the other hand.

The doorbell is a bit hidden, and next to it is a large potted plant that blocks the doorbell.

After the hand pressed the doorbell, no sound came out.

"It's broken?" Liu Miao said again.
