Chapter Nineteen

  Wang Shaokui turned his head after hearing the sound, with that perennial pipe hanging from the corner of his mouth.

  "Wow, what a coincidence."

  Cai Luo Chen glanced at this woman and thought that she was overacting: "Coincidentally came to the US, Detective Wang, huh?"

  It's been many years since Qian Tong last saw Wang Shaokuo, but he still has that somewhat silly look on his face.

  Wang Shaokuo said discontentedly, "...... Hey, after all we were classmates. Since then I haven't hidden anything from you. You... this woman is so petty. Qian Tong, you've also found her, haven't you? A vengeful woman will be careful not to get married."

  It's better not to say, but once it's said, Si Luochen's face sank, and he stared at Wang Shaokuo with no expression. There was no ripple in his eyes, and his eyebrows were slightly raised as he said lightly, "Are you sure you're not hiding anything from me?"

  Wang Shaokuo blinked his eyes and stood there with a guilty conscience: "......"

  What I'm most afraid of is this gaze, hastily turning around to come to Qian Tong's side, and coquettishly saying: "Little Tong Tong, you see Luo Chen scolding me as soon as she sees me, you're not managing her well either."

  For these two people who would start pinching each other as soon as they met, Qian Tong had long been used to it. With a comforting smile at the corner of her mouth, she slightly shook her head to indicate that there was nothing she could do about it either.

  Wang Shaokuo saw it and shook his head lightly, sighing: "Indeed, Xiaotongtong, you are also a person with the same sex but no humanity. I was wrong about you."

  To Qian Tong: "......"

  "He's just like him." Cui Luochen added lightly.

  Wang Shaokuo looked at Si Luochen with a face that didn't understand, only to feel that the corners of Si Luochen's mouth were slightly raised, as if he was smiling slyly. Upon closer inspection, however, it was just an icy face.

  What's this woman selling in her gourd? The more she talks, the less I understand. Has she been in America for a while and become too profound to comprehend?

  "Can't you two not meet like this!" I couldn't help but interrupt: "Shao Ke, you suddenly ran here, did you find out something?" The topic finally led by Qian Tong stepped on the right track.

  "Let's talk about it when we get home, I'm here to see you guys." At the same time, he raised his hand with something in it: "I also brought a gift, Xiaotong's favorite green bean cake."

  "Can't we change the name?" Xiang Qiong Tong said, unable to bear it.

  "Xiao Tong?"

  To Qian Tong: "......"

  With a creak, the door was pulled open by Si Luo Chen. He turned his head and gave Wang Shao Ke a faint glance before looking at Xiang Qian Tong, coldly spitting out four words: "Don't shout randomly."

  Wang Shaokai: "......"

  To Qian Tong: "......"

  Three people walked into the apartment, took the elevator, and finally arrived at Xiang Qian Tong's home.

  Wang Shaokuo felt a breath of air that only appeared in the room of a woman in love as soon as he entered the house. Everywhere were things for two people, the same mugs, the same slippers, the same bowls and chopsticks, etc.

  "Have you had enough?" Si Luochen asked as he handed a cup of water to Wang Shaokui.

  This is Wang Shaokuo's occupational disease, can't help it. He took over the water cup and sipped a mouthful, looking at Si Luochen with a pout, and sighed: "I really admire you, Luo Chen."

  Si Lu Chen stared at her with an expressionless face.

  "Honestly speaking, you've managed to win over Xiao Qian Tong, a woman who is normally numb to emotions."

  "Was it your first day knowing me?" said with unmistakable confidence.

  "But I admire Qian Tong even more."

  Si Lu Chen threw a puzzled glance, Wang Shao Ke just smiled and didn't speak. Seeing Xiang Qian Tong come out of the bedroom, he immediately went over to her, took out the documents from his bag, and said: "I've investigated some things that might be helpful to you. The reason why Gu's family has been holding back is because both Gu Qing and Gu Feng have their own leverage in hand."

  Judging from Wang Shaokuo's confident expression, it seems that she has found out about both things.

  "What is it?" Si Luo Chen asked lightly from the sofa.

  "Kui Qian's emotions, Kui Feng's black market."

  Unexpectedly, it was this. Si Luo Chen and Xiang Qian Tong were somewhat surprised. Especially with Gu Qing's emotions, Si Luo Chen had a bad premonition, lazily glancing at Xiang Qian Tong with no expression.

  "The black market doesn't need me to explain much, its scope is so broad that it's unimaginable. As for Gu Qing... she liked a person." He paused, then continued: "It was a woman, her classmate, but she's already dead." Perhaps due to being a detective for too long, Wang Shaokuo spoke of life and death with ease.

  Compared to life and death, such emotions made her even more curious.

  Si Luo Chen held his cup and sipped his tea, asking: "How did he die?"

  Wang Shaokuo shook his head: "It's not clear. However... they found a intimate photo of Gu Qing and this woman together. As for why Gu Qing got psychological illness, how he got it, what secrets there are, I think Qian Tong should know more about it?" As soon as the words fell, both pairs of eyes landed on Xiang Qiantong at the same time.

  At this time, Qian Tong leaned against the table with a calm face, his eyebrows tightly locked, as if he didn't want to think about Gu Qing's affairs. Feeling the gaze of the two, he said after a long while: "Gu Qing's second personality is her girlfriend, Xie Yan."

  Xia Lu Chen: “......”

  Wang Shaokai: "......"

  She took out a can of beer from the refrigerator, gulped down a big mouthful, calmed herself down, and continued: "Xie Yan was a classmate of Gu Qing at university, with a domineering and self-centered personality, but Gu Qing fell deeply in love with her. After graduation, they worked hard to be together, but for some unknown reason, Xie Yan suddenly died, and the cause of death was unclear. Gu Qing couldn't accept this fact, so... after a long time, she developed a second personality, which is Xie Yan."

  Si Lu Chen could feel that mentioning this past event to Qian Tong was not pleasant.

  "How was it discovered?" Wang Shaokuo asked, swallowing his saliva.

  Although I also graduated from the psychology department, after all, I have never experienced such a thing.

  "She always told me that Xie Yan was still there, and she felt like Xie Yan was right next to her, saying that her soul hadn't gone far. With both hands on the table and her head down, her tone was very calm: "But I had never encountered a case of dual personality before, and I didn't have any experience, so I didn't dare to make a judgment about whether it was real or not. It wasn't until one time when Gu Qing came to find me on a stormy day outside - the same kind of weather as the day Xie Yan died - that the person who appeared in front of me was clearly not Gu Qing. From her usual appearance, I recognized her at a glance, and that was my first conversation with Gu Qing's second personality, Xie Yan."

  As the sound fell, Wang Shaokuo couldn't help but shiver. He glanced at the dark sky outside the window and felt that the development of this story was a bit terrifying, as if Xiang Qiong was telling a midnight ghost story.

  Xia Lu Chen calmly sat on the sofa, quietly listening.

  "This is the first time I've seen a person's second personality, to be honest, I'm excited, and even feel that this is the purpose of studying psychology, exploring the most unimaginable places in people's hearts. Although it's the same face, but the expression, tone, even body language when speaking, including writing style, have all changed into another person. However, it can't be denied, apart from these, there's also Xie Yan's temper, she's a woman who is self-centered to a certain extent. From Xie Yan's personality, I understand that Xie Yan actually loves Gu Qian very much, loves her to the point where she herself can't imagine, even loves her to the point of wanting to destroy Gu Qian." After finishing the whole can of beer, he paused and continued: "Later, after a period of treatment, the two personalities merged into one personality, which resulted in Gu Qian's current personality. One part is Gu Qian, one part is Xie Yan."

  "What a wonder!" Wang Shaokuo exclaimed: "Listening to you say these things, I want to change careers and become a psychologist. In all the years I've been a detective, I've only encountered one case related to psychology that was a murder case. The murderer was a sleepwalker who killed people, but when he woke up, he didn't remember anything that had happened. But as soon as he fell asleep, he would go and commit crimes in a planned way, and no fingerprints or evidence could be found at the scene. It took a long time to crack this case, and I thought it was incredible at the time. I have to say, Qian Tong, you're also quite abnormal."

  To Qian Tong: "......"

  "Miss Gu is looking for you, just to ask you to help her suppress another personality of hers, right? She's worried that her brothers will force out her second personality in other ways, so she found you at the first time after Mr. Gu passed away." asked Si Lu Chen.

  As clever as she is, it seems like nothing can escape her notice.

  Nodded at Qian Tong.

  "Lu Chen, how did you know?" Wang Shaokui asked curiously.

  The woman faintly uttered two words: "Intuition."

  Wang Shaokai: "......"

  "Since Mr. Gu is willing to transfer so many assets to her, it shows that she has the ability. All clever women, when encountering problems, first exclude things that are harmful to them. The photo incident is not enough to hurt her, nor can it shake her. Only... her second personality." Si Luochen picked up the teapot and poured tea, explaining the reason for these two words without expression.

  Wang Shaokuo furrowed his brow, as if he had thought of something: "Then this matter will be difficult to handle."

  "What?" asked Qian Tong.

  "Because I knew when I was investigating Gu Feng that he had also found a very professional psychologist. Just now, after hearing you say it, I know that psychologists have the ability to merge or restrain personalities, but...I want to ask if there is also a way to immediately...merge the second personality..."

  "By using medication to weaken the master's consciousness, we can force it out immediately," said Wang Shaokuo to Qian Tong and others.

  "...so I have to remind Miss Gu to be careful, don't forget that her brother is a black market manipulator, many things can still be done, although he won't kill Miss Gu, but..." Wang Shaokuo said and thought of something else: "What I'm most worried about is that you'll end up taking the blame, Qian Tong."

  Xie Luo Chen sat quietly on the sofa, expressionless as he savored his tea, without saying a word.

  As for Wang Shaokuo's words, Qian Tong was not unclear, but she was more worried about Gu Qing's safety and interests. They were friends. Without thinking much, she immediately took out her phone to call Gu Qing, but found that the call couldn't get through.

  Made three or four calls in a row but couldn't get through, even though we just contacted each other this afternoon.

  Clutching the phone tightly, furrowing his brow, had something gone wrong already?

  "Shao Ke, do you have a way?" Xiang Qiong's anxious gaze turned to Wang Shao Ke.

  Wang Shaokuo shook his head and sighed, "In the US, I have no way to deal with this. Gu Feng has put a lot of thought into this matter, I was worried that my people would leak the message or our phone calls would be tracked, so I came personally, but it seems I'm still one step too late."

  "There may be someone who can." Sa Luo Chen, who had been silent for a long time on the sofa, pinched his tea cup with a pair of beautiful hands and tasted it lightly.

  "Who?" they chorused.

  He raised an eyebrow and looked at Wang Shaokuo: "The person in charge of the rehabilitation center, Shen Lue."

  Wang Shaokai: "......"

  To Qian Tong: "......"
