Chapter Seventy-Nine: The File
The man in the photo is naturally Xiang Kun. This photograph was taken when the four of them went archery together. They had asked the archery instructor to help them capture a group photo after they had put on their archery gear.
In the document, various details pertaining to Xiang Kun have been systematically recorded and categorized.
It even precisely chronicles each encounter or WeChat conversation with Xiang Kun according to time, guessing information about him.
Xiang Kun’s previous conjecture was not wrong. On the night he played cards at Tang Baona’s house, Xia Libing recognized him as the stranger she had previously exchanged glances with at the coffee shop.
However, it was only after the card game at Tang Baona’s house that she started this document. Even though the coffee shop incident occurred earlier, it was recorded later than the card game.
Xia Libing scrolled down to the end of the document and marked a new cell with the date: 2019/9/1.
She then input content in the following cells and placed corresponding analytical questions:
His ability to deduce others’ cards and thoughts at the poker table has greatly improved since the last time we played Dowlandlord together;
Is it because he now knows more about me, Tang Baona, and Yang Zhen Er, which makes it easier for him to make judgments?
Is he better at playing “Texas Holdem” than “Dowlandlord”?
Has he applied what he has learned from the numerous psychology books he read recently at the poker table?
Does he have some unknown ways to cheat?
It’s clear that he wants to win more than he did last time, but he remains very calm at the poker table, showing no significant changes whether he gets good or bad cards;
Does he not care because he knows he has a way to win overall, regardless of whether he gets good or bad cards in a single game?
Does he deliberately control his emotional changes because he knows I am observing him to ensure I do not detect anything?
He cooked meals for his neighbors. From their expressions while speaking, it appears they genuinely enjoyed both dishes. Judging from his personality, he usually would not offer his cooking unless he was confident about it; 3-1. Is he deliberately trying to build a better relationship with his neighbors?
Spicy rabbit and braised rabbit do not seem to be the dishes that he would like. Why did he choose to prepare these two dishes?
Why did he choose rabbit instead of other more common meats?
There are many types of seasonings in his kitchen, but they are scarcely used. Many matching kitchenware and dinnerware are missing. He doesn’t even own a rice cooker or a pressure cooker. The few kitchen utensils he has are new and were obviously purchased after moving. He claimed that he had just started learning to cook, which seems believable;
What prompted him to start learning to cook?
He’s raising three rabbits in his kitchen;
Why does he not simply buy prepared rabbit meat but raise live rabbits at home instead?
.
After the document was completed, Xia Libing looked at the questions she derived for a while. Then, she opened another file full of pictures and began viewing the images in it.
Upon browsing through these images, it was apparent that they were screenshots of detailed posts from Weibo or WeChat Moments.
The common feature of these posts was that they were either published by Xiang Kun or others and were related to Xiang Kun.
The username of Xiang Kun’s Weibo account is “Emperor Qiankun”. There are no details about his location, age, or college. His bio simply reads “1+1=10”.
Xia Libing found Xiang Kun’s Weibo through a graduation photo posted by Chang Bin in 2012, in which he had tagged “Emperor Qiankun”.
The last update on Xiang Kun’s Weibo was also the graduation photo in 2012. After that, there were no other activities, not even likes or reposts.
Before 2012, his posts were either about new technologies, such as VR, AR, machine learning, neural networks, and so on, or IT-related jokes, such as “Keyboard not found, please press Fl to continue…”, “A programmer bought one kilogram of meat and went home. He found it 24 grams short and unhappily went back to the butcher: You shortchanged me…”, “How to get rich using object-oriented programming? Answer: Inheritance.”
Alternatively, ne’d De engaged In aeDates witn netlzens ne didn’t even Know over a variety of issues, such as ‘Why do I need to learn PYTHON when I can use JAVA in my left hand and C++ in my right?” or “Pro Evolution Soccer is 100 times more fun than FIFA.”
Undeniably, these elements largely represent Xiang Kun during his college years.
Xia Libing believes that his confidence was the same as it is now, but back then, he had more of a reckless, fledgling fearlessness. The character of Xiang Kun that she had analyzed and interpreted now had considerable differences.
Most of the screenshots of WeChat Moments were from Xiang Kun, with a small portion from Chang Bin.
