Chapter 8: Betrayal of Friends 1
"You called me here just to tell me something so ridiculous?"
On the rooftop, Meng Jinjin's long hair fluttered in the wind, and her voice became vague.
Mamali and Zhang Zhi were probably so scared because they were often bullied by Meng Jinjin that they didn't dare to say a word. Wei Xi had to tell them everything from beginning to end.
Meng Jinjin's reaction was that she didn't believe a single word of it.
"Not calling you the useless alliance and not bullying you anymore doesn't mean I will be fooled by you!" Meng Jinjin turned around and was about to leave.
Wei Xi hurriedly grabbed her and said, "What we said is true, but we really can't produce evidence right now. If you can help us find the person who spoke, we might be able to find the killer and rescue Wei Lixuan. Then you will know whether we are lying or not."
Meng Jinjin looked at Wei Xi and smiled: "Wei Xi, I believe you, and I can also believe Zhang Zhi, but I don't believe her."
She pointed a finger at Mamari.
Mama Li looked flustered and whispered, "I'm not lying."
How is this going?
Wei Xi looked at Meng Jinjin in confusion and said, "This is something the three of us experienced together. Why do you say you can trust me and Zhang Zhi, but you refuse to trust Ma Mali?"
"Wei Xi, do you know why I called her waste?" Meng Jinjin did not directly answer Wei Xi 's words, but raised a new question.
Wei Xi didn't know the answer, so she just shook her head blankly.
"Because she is a selfish liar!" Meng Jinjin said coldly, "So no one in this school wants to pay attention to her. Haven't you noticed that apart from you and Zhang Zhi, almost no one talks to her?"
Wei Xi said in shock: "No..."
"Tell me about these things. Is there anything I can do to help?" Meng Jinjin said sharply, "I can help you, but I won't help her because I hate her."
Wei Xi was in trouble now.
"You think about it first. I'm leaving." After saying that, Meng Jinjin walked away without looking back.
Looking at Meng Jinjin's back, Wei Xi cast a blank look at Zhang Zhi and Ma Mali, while Zhang Zhi was looking at Ma Mali at a loss.
Under their gaze , Mamali opened her mouth and said with difficulty: "I didn't, she's talking nonsense..." She looked at Wei Xi pleadingly, "Wei Xi, you have to believe me."
Should I believe Meng Jinjin or Ma Mali?
After a fierce struggle in Wei Xi's heart, the balance tilted towards Mama Li.
"You are my good friend, of course I believe you." Wei Xi reached out and held Mamali's hand, saying softly, "I also believe that Meng Jinjin is not a bad person. Maybe there is some misunderstanding between you and her. Find an opportunity to communicate with her and resolve the misunderstanding in the future."
"Yeah." Mamali nodded heavily.
Zhang Zhi frowned and said, "What should we do now? Without Meng Jinjin's help, we really have no idea at all."
Wei Xi bit his lip and said in a pretentious manner, "When you reach the mountain, there will always be a way. Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. We will definitely be able to come up with a solution. Maybe Wei Lixuan will show up in a while and say that he has found an important clue?"
She said these words without any confidence, but because she acted very confidently, Zhang Zhi and Ma Mali were temporarily convinced.
However, Wei Lixuan did not show up until after school, but Wei Xi had already thought of a new solution.
"Xiaoyi, come out!" After Wei Xi returned home, he shouted the name of Error Code 123.
"I'm coming." Error code 123 poked his head out of the room with a screwdriver and said unhappily, "What's going on? Can't you see I'm busy?"
Wei Xi grabbed its collar and said angrily: "Can you open your toolbox? Something terrible has happened. Wei Lixuan is missing. Now we can only rely on your toolbox!"
Error code 123 screamed: "Let go, let go, I'm being strangled and can't breathe."
Wei Xi quickly let go of her hand, then realized: "You are a robot, how could you be strangled to the point of being unable to breathe?"
"Robots also need to breathe. Don't forget, I am a new type of robot. All my functions are very similar to those of humans." Error Code 123 said unconvinced.
"Okay, it doesn't matter what happens. What I'm asking about now is the toolbox!" Wei Xi said anxiously.
Error Code 123 put his hands on his hips and laughed up to the sky: "Hahaha, I was just about to tell you that I finally remembered the password to the toolbox."
"Great! Then take out the tracking props right now so that we can find Wei Lixuan, Cheng Yizhi and the killer!" Wei Xi jumped for joy.
But Error Code 123 poured cold water on her again: "But I only remembered the first level of password, so I could only take out a time recorder with playback function."
"Time recorder? What is that? What can it do?" Wei Xi asked depressedly.
Error Code 123 took out a device that looked like an ordinary music player and said, "It can automatically play the sound that was played at a certain time and place."
Seeing that Wei Xi had no interest, Error Code 123 added: "If we go back to the archives, we can record all the voices that were spoken that day, and then perform a retrospective operation in each classroom. It will automatically compare all the sounds it hears and find the same sounds as those in its records."
Wei Xi's eyes suddenly lit up.
"This way we can know which class that person belongs to, and the scope is narrowed down a lot."
"That's right." Error Code 123 said affirmatively.
Wei Xi said excitedly: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go to school quickly."
Error code 123 said unhappily: "Did you forget that your father is in the hospital? Even if you have to go to school, you should bring food to your father first."
Wei Xi bowed her head in embarrassment and admitted her mistake: "I'm sorry, I was too anxious and forgot such an important thing. I will go cook now."
Just as she turned to go to the kitchen, Error Code 123 said, "I like spinach, remember to get more."
Wei Xi said unhappily: “I know!”
Humph, if it wasn't for the fact that it could finally take out high-tech props, she wouldn't care what it likes to eat!
"Snapped!"
The sound of a few small stones falling to the ground broke the tranquility of the night, and two sneaky figures were whispering beside the school wall.
"Why are you throwing stones?" Wei Xi was confused by the behavior of Error Code 123.
Error code 123 said seriously: "It is clearly written in martial arts novels. This is called throwing a stone to test the water."
Wei Xi really wanted to beat it up: "It's so quiet, as long as we climb the wall with less noise, we won't be discovered. If you throw stones now, it will be easy to be discovered, okay!"
"I just want to experience the feeling of being a knight." Error Code 123 grumbled in dissatisfaction, climbed up the wall neatly, and stretched out his hand to Wei Xi, "Okay, come up quickly."
Wei Xi climbed up the wall with great effort, and then climbed down clumsily with the help of error code 123.
There was no other way. The killers had caused such a big fuss last time that the school had strengthened its security since that day. The ordinary iron fences were all electrified, so it was no longer possible to pass through them easily, so they had to climb the high wall.
She and Error Code 123 came to the archives room and turned on the time recorder. Error Code 123 operated it for a while and said, "Okay, let's go."
Wei Xi said doubtfully, "Is that all?"
"Of course, you have to trust me and my tools." Error Code 123 said confidently.
"Then turn on the sound and let me listen." Wei Xi said half-doubtfully.
"Not yet, because we need to do a retrospective comparison. If we play the sound, it will interfere with its internal storage."
Wei Xi had no way of refutation of what Error Code 123 said, so he had to obey his instructions.
They started with the junior high school, trying to open the windows of every classroom and insert the time recorder through the gap. But after trying all the classrooms, the time recorder did not respond at all.
Mi Xi asked depressedly: "Is it broken?"
Error code 123 checked over and over again and said, "It should be fine. Maybe it's because that person is not in the high school department. Maybe Wei Lixuan's reasoning is wrong. There are no students in the school who are colluding with the killer. Now we have no other way, so let's keep trying."
"Okay." Wei Xi said weakly.
They walked to the high school, but found that the windows here were difficult to open. They tried several classrooms in a row without success, but finally succeeded in the sixth classroom.
Error code 123 After putting the space-time recorder in, just a few seconds later, a deep male voice sounded: "What benefit can you give me?"
"What you said doesn't make sense to me."
"real?"
"Okay, deal!"
"I have the key to the archives."
Wei Xi and Error Code 123 were surprised and delighted, and shouted in unison: "Found it!"
