    "She said she was Selena, and I have her letter here." The police chief rummaged through his breast pocket, "The letter is well written, and the handwriting is nice."

    Xia Xiang took the blue letter and stared at it.

    "It's on elegant paper, with beautiful handwriting, just like you said, very elegant, and it's paired with an equally elegant envelope. It was mailed on Friday night and addressed to the police station here. Well, let's see what this woman has  What did you say?"

    I read about the outcome of Link's case in tonight's paper and was very surprised to see my picture on it.  I can guarantee that I have nothing to do with this matter. I have no idea how the photo appeared on that corpse and signed a name that does not belong to me. I have never met a person named Link.  And the words on the photo are not my handwriting.  I'm a professional model and do a lot of photo shoots, so I figured someone must have gotten hold of my photos.  Sorry, I know nothing about this unfortunate Link, so I'm afraid I can't be of much help, but I thought I'd write this letter to tell you that the photo in the newspaper is mine.

    I don¡¯t know why this photo is connected to this case, but I¡¯m certainly happy to tell you everything I know.  This photo was taken by Prawn about a year ago.  I saved one and you can see it's the same as the one in the newspaper.  I used this photo to apply for a modeling contract and sent it to many heads of big companies and some agents.  I am now a contracted model with Tuzki, and he can tell you what kind of person I am.  I really wanted to know why the photo ended up in Link's hands because my fianc¨¦ was very upset about it.  Sorry to bother you, but I thought I should tell you, even though I'm afraid I won't be of much help.

    "What do you think, Xia Xiang?"

    "God knows. Of course, it's possible that this woman was lying, but I always had a feeling that she was telling the truth. I think it was the part about the jealous man that made the story feel real to me. Selena - it sounds like  Like a Russian Jewish woman - in my mother's words, this is definitely not a highly educated woman. But although her words are very verbose, they are very organized, and the information is all useful information. Also, if it is her in the photo  , then it is easy to recognize. What do you think about going to the Imperial Capital tomorrow and meeting this woman for a while? I will provide the car, and tomorrow is Sunday, she may be free. Should we go? Like two happy bachelors,  Go find Selena and take her out for tea?¡±

    ¡°It looks like the Sheriff thinks this is a good idea.

    "We will ask her if she knows Jiang Tiansheng, the big landowner. Do you have a photo of him?"

    The Sheriff has a very suitable snapshot, which was taken by a photojournalist.  They called Miss Selina and told her they would visit soon.  They made some necessary arrangements with the police station, and then the police chief put his big body into Xia Xiang's car, and then rushed to the imperial capital at lightning speed.  They arrived that night, found a hotel to rest, and went out to find Selena the next morning.

    The place where Selena lives is definitely not a high-end place, but in comparison, the rent in this relatively central location is relatively cheap.  Knocking on the door, the door was immediately opened by a beautiful young woman, the protagonist of the photo, who welcomed them in with a smile.

    "Chief Gu Pengfei?"

    "Yes, you must be Selina? This is Xia Xiang, he drove me to the imperial capital."

    "Nice to meet you," Selina said, "Come in." She led them to a pleasantly decorated room with blue curtains and tables with roses.  vase, the whole room has an artist's sophistication.  A black-haired man stood in the empty space, and he introduced himself with a frown.

    "Qiao Liang, my fianc¨¦." Selena explained, "Please sit down and smoke as you please. Do you need any snacks?"

    They declined the dim sum invitation and sincerely hoped that Qiao Liang could leave.  The Sheriff immediately asked questions about the photos, but soon he and Xia Xiang discovered that Selina had already told the entire situation in the letter.  Every expression on her face was marked with seriousness and sincerity, and she swore once more that she had never known Link, never used the name Annina, or given the picture to him under any name.  They showed her Jiang Tiansheng's photo and she shook her head.

    ¡°I am absolutely certain that I have never seen this person in my life.¡±

    Xia wanted to say that Link might have seen her at a modeling show and tried to strike up a conversation with her.

    "Of course, he might have seen me; so many people have seen me," Selina replied, with a hint of undisguised conceit.It is natural that some people want to be close to you.  But I think if I had seen this face, I would definitely remember it.  You see, a young man with a beard like that is quite attractive, isn't it?  "

    She handed the photo to Qiao Liang, who lowered his black eyes and looked at it contemptuously.  Then, his expression changed.

    ¡°You know, Selina,¡± he said, ¡°I think I¡¯ve seen him somewhere.¡±

    "you?"

    "Yes. I don't know where it is, but I always feel that there is something familiar on his face."

    "Anyway, you weren't with me when you saw him." The girl responded quickly.

    "No, I don't know. Now that I think about it carefully, I don't know if I have seen him before. All I can think of is an older face, maybe a photo I have seen, not  A living person. I don¡¯t know.¡±

    "This photo has been published in newspapers." Gu Pengfei said.

    "I know, but it's not like this. I saw a similarity - similar to someone, I found it the first time I saw it. I don't know what it was, maybe it was the eyes"

    He paused thoughtfully.  The Sheriff stared at him, as if expecting him to lay a golden egg, but nothing came of it.

    ¡°No, I can¡¯t think of it,¡± Qiao Liang said.  He handed the photo back.

    "Anyway, looking at the photos, I can't remember anything." Selena said, "I hope you can believe me."

    "I believe you," Xia Xiang said suddenly, "but I want to make a very abrupt assumption. This guy named Link is a very romantic young man. Do you think he would have seen such a photo somewhere and then fell in love with it?  Did it? I mean, maybe he allowed the development of his own imagination - an idealized passion. He imagined that the person he loved loved him back and gave her an imaginary name.  , makes the whole illusion more complete. You know what I mean¡ªhow about this?¡±

    "It's possible," Selena said, "but it's ridiculous."

    "It seems very ridiculous to me." Gu Pengfei curled his lips and said with a smile, "Besides, where did he get such photos? This is what we want to know."

    "That shouldn't be too difficult," Selina said. "He was a dancer at a big hotel and could easily have met someone relevant, and maybe one of them gave him the photo. You know, these people could  Get the photos from the agent.¡±

    Gu Pengfei asked who these agents were, and got the names of three people. They all had offices.

    "But I don't think they necessarily remember it," Selina said. "They have to meet so many people. But you can try. If I can figure this out, I would be so happy.  But you believe me, don¡¯t you?¡±

    "We believe in you, Selina." Xia Xiang said seriously, "It's as pious as trusting the second law of mechanics."

    "What is this?" Qiao Liang said doubtfully.

    "The second law of mechanics," Xia Xiang explained, "is a theorem that allows the universe to operate in an orderly manner. Without it, time would go back, just like a movie film played backwards."

    "No, is this possible?" Selena shouted excitedly.

    "The altar may be rolled up," Xia wanted to say, "Now I have reached a state. In this ridiculous case, even the smallest glimmer of normality will not only make me panic, but even  It hurts my heart. I've seen disgusting cases, tough cases, complex cases, even contradictory cases, but I've never come across a case that was based on complete irrationality. This is a  New experiences, and for someone as jaded as I am when it comes to pleasure - and I have to be honest - I was just overexcited."

    "Okay," Chief Gu Pengfei said as he stood up, "You have provided so much information, and we are very grateful to you, even though it doesn't seem to be of much help for the time being. But if you think of anything related to Link  , or you, if you suddenly remember where you have seen Link, we are more than happy to find out. Also, don't mind what Xia wants to say here, because he sometimes talks very funny."

    Hoping that this would restore Selina's faith in them, the Sheriff dragged his companion away.  But just as Gu Pengfei was looking for something he had dropped on the ground in the aisle, the girl turned to Xia Xiang.

    ¡°The policeman doesn¡¯t believe a word I say,¡± she whispered anxiously, ¡°but you do, don¡¯t you?¡±

    "I believe it," Xia Xiang replied, "but you see, for me, believing in something does not necessarily require understanding it. This character of mine is just the result of training."
