Episode 9

Shi Luo and Jiang Guangming once again came to Fanghai City to handle the case, and still chose the Seaside Hotel as their destination, and the room number remained unchanged.One day, Jiang Guangming was on the phone with Xu Kang and was overheard by Shi Luo. Shi Luo immediately noticed that there seemed to be reconciliation between the two.He guessed that the previous conflict might be related to the child, and Jiang Guangming was slightly taken aback by this.

Shi Luo suddenly received a notice that the investigation procedures for Jiang Na had been approved. He quickly went to the Public Security Bureau to learn about the situation and temporarily stored his luggage with Jiang Guangming.At the same time, Jiang Guangming took Jiang Na's diary and got on the bus that Jiang Na often took, as if following the records in the diary and immersing himself in Jiang Na's life.

An investigation by the Fanghai City Police showed that Jiang Na did not report missing, nor did she have any long-distance or entry-exit records.However, a strange clue caught their attention: from May to mid-August last year, Jiang Na frequently checked in at the Red Star Hotel on Pedestrian Street.Jiang Guangming followed the clues in the diary and came to the Zhuoyu Bookstore near the Red Star Hotel, but found that the bookstore was closed and there was a rental notice posted above.Shi Luo informed Jiang Guangming of this abnormal situation, and the two discovered that Zhuoyu Bookstore was located next to the Red Star Hotel.

Shi Luo quickly rushed to the pedestrian street and went to the front desk of the hotel with Jiang Guangming to learn about the situation.The staff confirmed that Jiang Na did stay here frequently last year, always in the same room.Jiang Guangming noticed the surveillance camera above his head and asked about it and learned that surveillance videos are generally kept for three months.Another staff member revealed that Jiang Na checks in personally every time, but there is another man who often appears with her.Shi Luo took out a photo of Gu Jiming for the other party to identify, and the other party said that the man looked a lot like Gu Jiming.

Recalling the past, Gu Jiming was depressed because Maisui was not selected on May 5, 2018. After meeting Jiang Na, the two gradually became familiar with each other.The editor-in-chief forbids the editor to fall in love with the author, but Gu Jiming and Jiang Na walked hand in hand while walking on the beach.By chance, when Gu Jiming was dating Jiang Na in a hotel room, he accidentally learned that Tang Xun was writing a suspense novel in retreat at a seaside hotel.Jiang Na once secretly read Tang Xun's novel, and Gu Jiming asked her to find a way to read it herself.

At another drinking party, Gu Jiming shamelessly handed his work to Su Zhe, but was called back to his original position by the editor.Su Zhe did not take away his novel, so Gu Jiming was ridiculed by the editor-in-chief and his confidence was severely hit.When he was dating Jiang Na in the hotel room, he mentioned Tang Xun's novel again, and the two became closer.

Jiang Guangming and Shi Luo found Gu Jiming and asked him again about his relationship with Jiang Na.Gu Jiming still denied knowing Jiang Na, but at this time Jiang Na's call records had been sent.Jiang Guangming read out in detail the time and duration of the call between Gu Jiming and Jiang Na, and warned him that if he continued to deny it, the nature of the matter would become different.
