Chapter 130: Mystery Tape

From that day on, He Yu's pursuit of Xie Qingcheng became more and more blatant.

Xie Qingcheng is really a bit speechless by the youngsters.

To tell the truth, he had lived thirty-three years and had never seen such a pursuit.

Like a kindergartener.

After their leave of absence, they went back to the University of Shanghai to attend classes and to the University of Shanghai to teach. He Yu would come to HUMC to take Xie Qingcheng's class whenever he was free.

In the past, Xie Qingcheng had to think of ways to get him to make his own PPTs, but now he doesn't even need to be pushed by Xie Qingcheng, He Yu will make his own lesson plans, and then follow Xie Qingcheng with the computer to help debug the lessons.

"Professor Xie, you hired a personal teaching assistant?" The teachers in the same office couldn't help but feel envious, "This young man is too good to use."

Xie Qingcheng : "If you want you can have it."

The teacher commiserated, "But people don't follow me."

Xie Qingcheng teach a few classes also gradually rumors, everyone estimates that the Shanghai University this handsome man is on the Xie Qingcheng class of a girl, the girl sinking fish fall wild goose, the moon is shy flower talent and appearance of the whole country dumping the city, that is the next school of the day dish into the next side of this kind of sex makes the wisdom of the German nature of the lost.

The girls in several classes under Prof. Xie's door have taken their places, and in addition to studying, they all began to pay attention to dressing up.

When these girls from the medical university primped and groomed themselves, they were like pearls in the dust, and the boys were shocked to realize that, oh my God, they were surrounded by so many beautiful women, which they had never realized before!

Teenagers know Mu Shao Ai, will be on the favorite girls to pursue, all kinds of show of goodwill, a period of time down, Xie Qingcheng class almost all the girls have a master, talk about love.

As for Master He Yu Mr. He, who was more useful than the Moon Lord, witnessing a couple of lovers getting married, as a single dog he couldn't help but sigh as he glanced at Prof. Xie's side profile concentrating on his classwork.

The more he chases Xie Qingcheng, the more he realizes that Xie Qingcheng is not a human being.

The man's day-to-day life is spent either in class, preparing for class, organizing materials, or doing research.

Either that or they simply disappear and can't be found anywhere.

This He Yu really feel quite strange, he did not know where Xie Qingcheng went, Xie Qingcheng also never explain more, only said he was busy, outside the meeting to be held.

When he came back, he was always very tired. He Yu thought that he probably had some very important projects to do, and he couldn't ask about them, so he could only think of ways to share some of his burdens with him as much as possible.

"Knock knock."

On this day, during the lunch break, the office door was open, and He Yu came to the door, looked inside, and said, "Professor Xie, may I come in?"

Xie Qingcheng ignored him.

He Yu went in by himself.

There was no one else in the office. Xie Qingcheng was wearing glasses and organizing information on the computer.

He Yu pulls up a table next to him and lays out the packaged dishes one by one.

Xie Qingcheng still didn't care about him.

It's no use talking to him, he won't listen. He Yu had been doing this a lot since they had broken the so-called "like" window. Instead of spending every day on this kind of talk, it would be better to think of him as honoring himself, which would be less troublesome.

He Yu sizes up Xie Qingcheng as he prepares his meal.

In fact, last night he wanted to come to find Xie Qingcheng, but Xie Qingcheng and not in the school, not in Moru Lane, this person and do not know where to go busy, midnight only returned to his message, said in the hospital to accompany Xie Xue. today look at him, the face of inexplicable very haggard, I do not know to look at Xie Xue why can look like this.

Noticing He Yu staring at himself, Xie Qingcheng lifted his hand and straightened his sleeve before asking, "What?"

He Yu said, "Seeing that you are so tired ...... Is it that you went to find Xie Xue yesterday, and the situation is not very good?"

"You're worrying too much, she's controlling it pretty well." Xie Qingcheng heard He Yu ask about this, and redirected his gaze back to the computer, typing as he replied, "It's just short of a special medicine."

"I'll go see her sometime, then."

"The Meiyu side has been very strict lately, it's not convenient for you to go now." Xie Qingcheng crackled and continued typing, "If there's anything you want to say, I can convey it to her."

He Yu thought about it, but he couldn't think of anything to say to Xie Xue.

So he shook his head, "Never mind, you come and eat first."

He Yu can't cook, but he has the ability to pay for it. Lunch was prepared by the chef of a nearby upscale hotel, and the seemingly simple, home-cooked dishes were prepared with great care. The verdant Shanghai green is to choose the core stamen in each dish, preserved pork selection of oak fruit-fed ecological black pork, to the top of the good cypress wood smoked and roasted. Even an ordinary spicy pot, the pepper used is also from Hanyuan the day of picking sent to the Gong Pepper, Ma Po Tofu topping is also used in the tender sturgeon white.

It's almost as if it's all a bit of a ride to the consort.

But Xie Qingcheng doesn't seem to have much of an appetite.

Huang Zhilong's investigation has yet to break through, the exact composition of the drugs Xie Xue was given at the Cheng Kang psychiatric hospital remains unknown, and even the best dishes are as good as wax in Xie Qingcheng's mouth.

Meat dishes moved a few times, as if still vaguely guilty of nausea, Xie Qingcheng covered his mouth, pale face, suddenly put down the chopsticks.

"What's wrong with you?"

"...... slightly uncomfortable. Just rest and relax."

"Then I'll come to your dormitory tonight to help you prepare for class." He Yu took the initiative to say when he saw that he was distracted by his meal.

Xie Qingcheng: "I don't have time tonight. I need to meet with a friend to talk about something about the case. Also, He Yu ...... can you not focus all your attention on me?"

After his trip to Miyu, for some reason, not only was he not feeling well, but he didn't seem to be in a good mood either.

"While I won't be affected too much, you're being irresponsible with yourself if you keep this up."

"......"

"Doesn't your school have club activities and sororities? Go around more and meet some lively and cheerful girls, that's what boys your age should do."

He Yu's face sank.

Xie Qingcheng put on his coat, picked up his computer, took one last look at him, and left.

.

The person who met Xie Qingcheng in the evening was Chen Man.

Chen Man did not tell Xie Qingcheng where they would meet beforehand, and only sent him the address that afternoon.

Xie Qingcheng took a look and was speechless - it was actually exactly the same as the location He Yu had chosen before, the same Bund Hotel.

Are all these young people's tastes so similar?

"Change your location." Xie Qingcheng replied to his message and sent a location to Chen Man, "Go here. My treat."

History is always amazingly similar, the welcome lady of the middle-aged and old-aged vegetarian restaurant watched with a stunned face that this tall and handsome man actually brought a little white boy to patronize their store twice in a row. And the little white girl is still a different little white girl, can't help but gossip. Scum ah! What a flower ah!

But Xie Qingcheng didn't think much of it, he just didn't like the atmosphere of that Bund hotel and was too lazy to choose a new restaurant.

"Does sir still want the same private room as before?"

"Yes, please."

"Yes sir, you go this way and watch out for the steps."

The two were seated in the box.

After not seeing him for a while, Chen Man seemed a bit preoccupied. Xie Qingcheng looked at him and found that his condition was even worse than his own, with dark circles under the eyes of the small police officer after staying up all night, and a little bit of scruff on his jaw.

"What happened."

"Brother." Chen Man hesitantly spoke, "...... It's like this. I ...... know from Uncle Zheng's side that you've been looking into something related to Huang Zhilong Company recently ......"

Xie Qingcheng was stunned and randomly became a bit angry, "This old Zheng--"

"Don't blame him, it's me who keeps failing to find you lately and took the initiative to inquire." Chen Man said busily.

"And I'm here today, and there's something mainly related to Huang Zhilong that I've been thinking about, and I think I'd better tell you."

Xie Qingcheng paused when he heard this, "What?"

"I recently ...... received a mysterious videotape." Chen Man looked like he didn't know where to start, and finally he said, "...... Ugh, let me play you the video first."

The soundproofing of the box was not too good, Chen Man gave Xie Qingcheng an earphone, and then tapped the video playback button on his cell phone.

The footage was recorded on a TV, and it was one of those big ass old TVs. The TV screen is completely off at first, and you can see the reflection of Chen Man, who is holding up his cell phone and recording.

Then the old TV lit up, snowflakes flashed frequently, and the picture gradually presented itself.

It's a girl in the video.

She sits in front of the camera, and despite the poor definition of the video, Xie Qingcheng recognizes her by her pointed chin, beautiful peach blossom eyes, and distinctive pointed nose - the

This ......

It turned out to be Zhuang Zhiqiang's unaccounted-for adopted daughter, Zhao Xue!

Xie Qingcheng immediately tensed up, wanting to know where Chen Man had gotten the footage, but he held back and watched the video with bated breath.

Zhao Xue's face is unusually pale and thin, her lips are bloodless, her eyes are filled with panic, agitation and fear, and she looks very nervous.

She adjusted the camera repeatedly, and after a few seconds, the girl spoke.

"This is my tenth video recording."

Zhao Xue's voice is like a silk thread that has been stretched to the limit and will break at any moment; it is very thin and speaks very fast, like he is in a hurry.

"I don't know what day of the month it is anymore, I've been locked up in here for so long that the only thing I can use to make a record of it is this DV. i've hidden it under a flap in this basement, and if a police officer can find it later on, I want it to be the evidence in court that will bring the devil to his punishment."

She gulped, it was like a confession she made before every video. Once the confession was complete, she began to tell more.

"The place I'm in right now is the basement of the headquarters of Shiron Pictures. It's an illegal life lab that holds many men and women who have 'disappeared' from society and are used as cruel biochemical experiments."

"In the previous record, I have reported all the names of the people I know, I hope that in the future there will be an opportunity to let the families of these people understand where they have gone ......" Zhao Xue said, choking up a little. "I also hope that, after my old man sees this video, he can know where I went ...... I, I'm not sure ...... I still have a chance to meet him again... ..."

She looked down and wiped her watering eyes, holding back her grief for a moment before continuing the sentence.

"...... I don't dare to give the DV to everyone to videotape, I'm afraid that there are also people among us who will go and snitch in order to stay alive. I stole this DV when the patrolman wasn't looking, and if it was discovered, all the evidence would be destroyed. I have to protect it and use it to keep good records while I'm still alive."

"But right now, it's running low, I have no way to charge it, and I don't know when it will be unusable. All I can do is leave as much evidence and clues as I can before then ...... Today I made a new discovery that has to be documented here."

Xie Qingcheng's attention was completely hooked by her.

He leaned forward slightly, waiting for Zhao Xue to tell him about her discovery.

Just then, however, the picture on the TV suddenly stroboscoped to a highly unnatural excess.

Xie Qingcheng immediately raised his eyes to look at Chen Man.

Chen Man : "One paragraph was cut off. I don't know what she said. Brother, go ahead and listen to the back."

After that unnatural video cut, Zhao Xue lowers his head and proceeds to start talking:

"-so we keep a lot of people here, mostly young girls."

Xie Qingcheng understood at first glance that the paragraph before the word "so" was cut because the person who provided the video did not want it to go out.

Zhao Xue : "One of my sisters, who was locked up in the basement with me, was dragged out three days ago for a test, and was not sent back until yesterday morning. She's still alive and doesn't have any scars on her body, but ......"

Her face looked horrified and hateful, and the two emotions mingled on her face, making it look like a half-melted wax statue, "But then I found out ...... it turned out that her lower body was completely torn ...... I was at first so scared, and I felt so sick when I thought of some of the things she had suffered. But then ...... when I got my breath back, I suddenly realized something was wrong."

"This sister, she's been locked up with me for a long time, and I know that her character is intense, and after suffering such inhuman abuse, it's impossible for her not to put up any resistance, and it's impossible for her not to have any scars on her body."

"When she woke up, I tried to talk to her, I tried to ask her what had happened and she froze as if she hadn't heard me, as if she had lost her self-awareness."

"A day went by and she suddenly started to get a big nosebleed and convulsions and kept yelling that she wanted to drink blood ...... and then ...... and then she suddenly collapsed on the floor and died."

Zhao Xue's lips trembled.

"I heard the person who came in to collect her body say that Cheng Kang Psychiatric Hospital feedback 'hearing water' is effective, but the physical damage to those who take it is unstable, some people produce too many side effects, and the formula has to be adjusted again."

Zhao Xue suddenly paused when she said this, and then darted her head around twice, her skinny-to-sunken cheeks looking even more ghastly from fear, like a skeleton wrapped in a layer of human skin.

"Looks like someone's coming."

She whispered to the camera.

"I can't say anymore."

"I don't know if this will be the last time I videotape, they said they need to get another person to go to Cheng Kang Ward ...... Cheng Kang to get someone ...... They do it to people by number here I don't know if I'm going to be able to do that. My sister is number 23 and I am 24 ...... If this is really my last recording then ......"

An intense resentment rushed out of her fearful face, almost piercing the screen.

"You ...... must avenge us. Don't spare that Cheng Kang mental hospital ...... They are in league with Huang Zhilong! Avenge us!"

"We'll be watching from the sky."

After a few seconds, the video suddenly went dark.

End of video playback.

Xie Qingcheng slowly took off his headphones, his fingertips slightly cold.

He looked over at Chen Man and finally asked the question he'd been holding back, "Chen Man, where did you get this videotape?"

Chen Man's complexion was a few shades whiter than when he was shown the DV footage, but he knew that Xie Qingcheng would surely ask him about it, so he finally took out a bag containing a memory card from the one he was carrying.

The bag had a few lines written on it--

"Deposition, Zhao Xue DV."

This one looks handwritten.

And below that line, there's another line typed out on a printer, and that one is pasted on:

"This card, with your old TV from your old house can play it."

Chen Man saw the same shock on Xie Qingcheng's face that he had seen when he first saw the letter, and he said softly, "Brother, you still recognize this handwriting, don't you ......?"

How could Xie Qingcheng not recognize--

The handwriting on it is clearly the script of Chen Man's elder brother, Officer Chen Lisheng Chen!

Chen Man pale face, red eyes, again not dare to be sure, again can not help but want to harbor a glimmer of hope: "Brother Xie, this word is my brother's ...... and this mysterious person who sent me the letter ...... he even knows that I old home has an old TV that can read this memory card."

"Then, then you say ...... this mysterious person ...... could be ...... my big brother?"

Chen Man's voice shook a little, with some choking, "Could my brother still be alive? Is he still secretly investigating all this?"
