- Chapter 30 - Using Oneself as Bait
Su Xiaoxiao felt that she had a special characteristic: once she found a direction, her thinking could unfold layer by layer.
Wang Jue thought she was the fisherman, and she treated Lin Yue as the fish, but in fact Lin Yue might also be the fisherman.
Look, isn’t Lin Yue’s Weibo post very similar to Wang Jue’s? They’re both trying their best to show off their fan status.
On the surface, it seems that Wang Jue found Lin Yue, but it can also be seen as Lin Yue using herself as bait to catch Wang Jue.
Wang Jue was actually very cautious. After inviting Lin Yue to the group, she basically stopped chatting with her via private messages.
However, Lin Yue has contacted her several times recently. Please take a close look at the chat history between Lin Yue and her.
Lin Yue always expressed herself subtly, saying that she was just an office worker who really wanted to support her idol’s movie, but didn’t have much money to spend, and asked Wang Jue for advice on how.
However, Wang Jue was also cunning. She always avoided the topic and told Lin Yue that she could discuss any questions in the group, where the sisters were all experienced.
They even said that those with money should contribute money, and those with strength should contribute their strength, all for the good of their idol.
Lin Yue was probably trying to trick her into revealing information. Look at her last private message; she directly asked Wang Jue whether the loans the other women in the group were talking about were reliable and if she had any recommendations for suitable loan institutions. But this time, Wang Jue didn’t reply at all.
As we all know, sometimes scammers use a series of scams. For example, if they ask you to buy something and you don’t have the money, they will introduce you to a loan company. In fact, they are in cahoots with the loan company.
I feel Lin Yue’s question was too obvious. Wang Jue may have already realized that Lin Yue has a problem, or that she’s hooked up with Shi Yi and wants to back off.
“You mean, Lin Yue isn’t a real fan of Gu Yang either, and she’s pretending to be a fan of Gu Yang to investigate Wang Jue?” Wan Yan realized. “Actually, it can’t be said that she’s investigating Wang Jue. She probably knows that someone is scamming money in the fan circle and wants to find the scammer.”
“Yes, that’s my guess, because I saw something else at Lin Yue’s house.” Su Xiao said, taking out a magazine and turning to a page. “This is the magazine I found at Lin Yue’s house. There’s a group photo of celebrities in it, taken at a Weibo event. You see, Lin Yue marked the names of these people.”
Jiang Ziqi, Mu Zixuan, and Gu Yang are all currently popular celebrities, and Lin Yue has been a fan of all three of them.
In the past three years, Lin Yue has been a fan of three celebrities: Jiang Ziqi, Mu Zixuan, and Gu Yang.
She only follows a celebrity for about a year before deleting her Weibo account and registering a new one to follow.
My colleague helped me find all of this. At first, I didn’t understand. Is Lin Yue such a fickle person?! She doesn’t like a celebrity for more than a year. Her speed in switching allegiances is a bit too fast.
However, I’ve noticed something now: these three people she idolizes all have one thing in common. Can you guess what it is?
Su Xiaoxiao kept everyone in suspense.
“Are they all pretty handsome?” Xia asked tentatively.
“What nonsense are you talking about? Which popular celebrity isn’t handsome these days? This is an era that values looks. Who would like an idol if they weren’t good-looking?!” Jiang Qing said, slapping Xia’s head.
Xia shrank her neck and muttered under her breath, “You’re very handsome too, why are you still single at thirty?”
Although the sound was soft, everyone heard it and burst into laughter.
“You little rascal, you’ve got some nerve, joking with me now. Your brother Jiang just doesn’t want to find someone. We’re criminal investigators, working day and night, and I don’t want to burden that girl. This is a matter of high moral character, understand?!”
“Noble character and integrity, wait until forensic doctor Xiao Zhou arrives, then let’s see if you’ll still talk about noble character and integrity!” Xia said, hiding behind Wan Yan and making a face at Jiang Qing.
This forensic doctor, Xiao Zhou, is forensic doctor Sun’s assistant. He has only been with the bureau for half a year. Recently, Jiang Qing has been running to the forensic room whenever he has free time, clearly trying to woo her.
This made the team members laugh even louder.
Xia’s interruption eased everyone’s tension considerably, and even Su Xiaoxiao laughed for a long time.
“Alright, Xiaoxiao, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me quickly, what do they have in common?” Ye Jiuzhou asked.
“The common feature is that all three of them appeared in a movie within the past three years, and all of them were in the same period that Lin Yue’s fans were in.”
“So, if Lin Yue is just pretending to be a fan, then her target should be a con artist who uses idol movies to make money off fans.” Wan Yan suddenly understood.
“That’s right. You see, Jiang Ziqi and Mu Zixuan’s movie has already been released. She put an X next to them, which means that Lin Yue didn’t find the swindler when these two had movies released. But she found her target with Gu Yang, namely Wang Jue. But Wang Jue couldn’t have done this alone.”
“That’s right, this must be a gang operation, at least several people. Wang Jue lured people into the group, and there must be other accomplices in the group who testified about how much money they spent on the celebrity and how much they contributed to the box office. There are several stages involved. They can scam one wave when they are pushing for pre-sales, and if the box office is not good, they can scam another wave by filling in the screenings. If the box office is good, they can scam another wave by pushing for records.”
Ye Jiuzhou gritted his teeth.
His wife and daughter might have been scammed. Although the amount wasn’t large, it didn’t matter if many people were scammed. After all, wealthy women who can come up with a large sum of money at once are not easy to scam, while naive young girls are the easiest to scam.
“That’s right. The scammers’ targets are probably naive young girls. Look at Wang Jue and Lin Yue’s Weibo biographies. They both say they are college students, which means Lin Yue knows that the scammers’ targets are this type of people.”
“But why would Lin Yue hire these scammers? She’s just an ordinary clerk, not a reporter or anything. Why would she get involved in this mess?” Jiang Qing couldn’t understand it.
“Perhaps one of her relatives or friends was also scammed,” Wan Yan said.
“It’s possible that Lin Yue was killed because her actions were discovered by the con artists, so they silenced her,” Ye Jiuzhou said, stroking his beard.
“Very likely. Look at Lin Yue’s last Weibo post, the movie ticket she posted, which happened to show Wang Jue and Shi Yi. That night, she might not have just gone to see a movie, but was following Wang Jue. As for how she found Wang Jue, it’s still unclear.”
“Do you think it’s possible that her stalking of Wang Jue was discovered by her accomplices, who then killed her to cover it up?” Jiang Qing said.
“Wang Jue was murdered that night, and Liu Jie went to steal money. Neither of them could be the murderer. So who is the murderer?”
“Liu Jie probably had accomplices.”
This is currently the most reasonable explanation for Lin Yue’s death.
With a clear strategy in place, everyone was in high spirits, as if they could see the dawn of victory.
Just then, a team member came in to report, “Team Leader Ye, that lawyer is here again.”
