Chapter 953: Chapter 442: Inspiration Strikes
Bai Bufan didn’t say much, swiped a few times on his phone, and then tossed it over.
Lin Li reached out and caught it.
The screen of the phone wasn’t locked, and it was on a chat interface with a QQ friend.
The chat was between Bai Bufan and a friend named Tian Lan, and the chat history was scrolled to the top, ready to view.
"Tian Lan: Bufan, you there?"
"Bai Bufan: Old Meng? How come you’re suddenly looking for me? Of course I’m here! As long as you’re looking for me! I’ve always been here! By the way, do you have money, lend me two hundred, I’m short on cash to buy skins lately."
"Tian Lan: You’re really being aggressive, huh? But I’m not here to lend money; no need for the ’Finger of Middle’ treatment."
"Bai Bufan: Sigh, if that’s the case, what is it then?"
"Tian Lan: I remember you got into Nansang, right?"
"Bai Bufan: Yeah, what’s up?"
"Tian Lan: Are you still at school today?"
"Bai Bufan: I am."
"Tian Lan: Wow! Really impressed!"
"Tian Lan: Bufan, why did you do it? I’m cracking up. You weren’t this weird before, right? How come you have a fetish for helping people pee now?"
"Tian Lan: You know, after my friend told me, we specifically asked other classmates at Nansang, and they said the school doesn’t have such values, and the school has never asked anyone to do such things. Haha, your lies can’t hold up!"
"Bai Bufan: ..."
"Tian Lan: What’s the matter, feeling embarrassed now? (Sneering)"
"Bai Bufan: Old Meng, I’ve been in the dorm all day today, including right now while chatting with you, I have no idea what you’re talking about (Smile)."
"Tian Lan: Huh?"
"Bai Bufan: Can you first tell me, what’s the deal with this outrageous Bai Bufan (Smile)?
"Tian Lan: It’s just a classmate of mine who went to your school for a competition. He was complaining in the group about meeting a strange person at your school who took him to the bathroom... Forget it, I’ll just send you the chat records."
"Tian Lan: [Chat Record]"
The chat record contained an anonymous victim’s tearful accusation of being harassed at Nansang Middle School, along with everyone’s laughter in the group.
"Tian Lan: That strange person introduced himself to my classmate, and my classmate remembered the name. When he said Bai Bufan, I was stunned, and of course I thought of you. It’s not common to meet someone with the last name Bai, let alone the same first name, so I wanted to confirm."
"Bai Bufan: ..."
"Bai Bufan: Was that strange person super tall and handsome (Smile)?"
"Tian Lan: To confirm if it was you, I even asked specifically. Pretty tall, at least 1.8 meters, medium hair, but he was wearing a mask, so I couldn’t see his face clearly. I think it matches you."
"Bai Bufan: ..."
"Bai Bufan: I shouldn’t have even asked that question."
"Bai Bufan: Old Meng, I can only say, some twisted creature is using my name. Tell your friends, that person isn’t me."
"Bai Bufan retracted a message."
"Bai Bufan retracted a message."
"Bai Bufan: There is indeed a strange person at Nansang Middle School, but his name is Zhou Baowei. If you want to seek revenge or justice in the future, find him, not me; it has nothing to do with me."
"Tian Lan: OKOK, got it, I’ll go tell them."
At this point, the chat record ended.
Lin Li blinked.
People in myths hung strange people on cliffs, people in the year 33 AD hung strange people on crosses, why do people nowadays choose to hang them online?
Really not a bit of respect for the privacy of strange people.
"Finished reading? Hah, Lin Li, don’t you have anything to say?" Seeing Lin Li look at him at that moment, Bai Bufan gave a cold laugh.
Lin Li thought for a moment, then looked at Bai Bufan:
"Bufan, in those two messages you retracted, was there something like ’this weirdo’s real name is Lin Li’ or similar? Did you retract them on purpose knowing that you would need the chat record to question me later?
To cover up, you deliberately sent a message about Bao Wei as a shield."
"No, it’s not just that; besides, you directly deleted a lot of your chat records with classmates, probably including many defamations and rumors about me."
Bai Bufan: "(゜▽゜)?"
Bai Bufan’s expression changed several times, then angrily began to look around:
"Damn! I knew you had more than one surveillance set up! Good thing I fought against my inner demons earlier this afternoon! Didn’t become a superconductor at room temperature in the dormitory! Otherwise, I would have fallen into the trap!
I get it now, the ancients invented the zodiac to prove that people are all beasts!! Damn it!"
Watching Bai Bufan rummaging through everything, Lin Li smiled: "There’s no surveillance, just flaws in your deletions."
"Where?" Bai Bufan stopped what he was doing upon hearing this, looked up at Lin Li, and frowned slightly.
"The timing. Your ’Bao Wei’ message was sent at 37 past, but Tian Lan’s ’OK’ reply was at 46 past.
You’re saying you two normally reply instantly, but suddenly there’s a nine-minute gap, and you have no reaction, just blissfully accepting it?"
Lin Li adjusted his non-existent glasses and laughed mockingly.
Really can’t even fake evidence properly.
The only remotely smart decision Bai Bufan made was choosing Bao Wei as a shield.
Bao Wei has a large presence, capable of covering a wide area, making him the perfect shield candidate, and Lin Li had to acknowledge that.
