Men are like this, let alone women.

The police pay attention to details in handling cases. Since Yang Shiqi said that he was having dinner with his girlfriend, as a witness, she must stand up and provide testimony.

Yang Shiqi suddenly became a little nervous.

He stood still and didn't seem to hear Hu Pingtao's words.

Seeing this, Hu Pingtao felt a little strange. He increased his volume and repeated the previous question: "Where is your girlfriend? Ask her to come out."

Suddenly, Li Ziyu sneered dismissively from the side: "Where does he have a girlfriend? A man like him deserves to never find a partner and deserves to never get married."

Long Xu had a bad impression of the waitress and frowned and scolded her: "Be careful what you say. With your attitude, you will cause trouble no matter what."

When Li Ziyu heard this, she exploded and yelled at Long Xu angrily: "Why did I talk nonsense? He is a man that no one wants. Girlfriend... you think too highly of him, he has a stupid girl friend."

Hu Pingtao listened a little strangely and raised his hand to block Li Ziyu. Then he turned to Yang Shiqi and asked doubtfully: "Didn't you say you brought your girlfriend here to eat? Where is she?"

"I……"

Yang Shiqi looked very embarrassed. He lowered his head and muttered for a long time without saying a complete sentence.

Hu Pingtao patiently advised: "Don't be afraid, anything can be discussed. Since you called the police, we are here to solve the problem. If you have anything, just say it. As long as it is a legitimate act, the police will make the decision for you."

Yang Shiqi raised his head, pondered his emotions for a while, and seemed to have made up his mind.

He was carrying a sports bag.

He unzipped the bag and took out a doll about twenty centimeters tall.

The cartoon doll of a female version of Loli is very exquisitely made. She is wearing a pink skirt, beautiful little leather shoes, and a purple ribbon. She has an excellent body proportions, and is the kind where the breasts are all legs.

The doll has a black base and a transparent cover on the outside. It can be seen that Yang Shiqi cherishes this cartoon doll very much and protects it very well.

Hu Pingtao and Long Xu looked at each other, seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

For a long time, Hu Pingtao pointed at the cartoon doll and asked tentatively: "This...is your girlfriend?"

Yang Shiqi was mentally prepared. He nodded firmly, held the base with his right hand, and raised the doll in front of him: "Her name is Hatsune."

Long Xu couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

The crowd of onlookers immediately started talking.

"Is there something wrong with this man's brain? Is he going to use a doll as his girlfriend?"

"I noticed when we were eating just now that he ordered a dish for two people, specifically ordered a set of bowls for the doll, and even used a spoon to scoop out a salad for it to eat."

"Are you kidding! Do toys even eat?"

"I definitely won't eat it, but he keeps feeding it. Anyway, I can't understand it. I think it's quite scary. It feels like a horror movie. Well... you have watched "Hanako the Ghost Doll", it has a bit of that flavor. .”

"You are a real person. He is free to do whatever he likes. It is no different from raising a pet! I don't often take the Labrador out for wandering. I will also give it to him when eating. It’s ordered a la carte.”

"Can you please don't confuse the two? Yours is a dog and this is a toy. One is alive and the other is dead. They are completely different."

Hu Pingtao pursed his lips tightly and frowned subconsciously.

He had previously thought that this doll might be a relic of Yang Shiqi's girlfriend. The reason for this idea was because he had dealt with a similar case before - his girlfriend died unfortunately, and the man left a relic as a souvenir.

There are different types of relics: photos, worn clothes, souvenirs purchased together, a stone, a mobile phone, or even cosmetics used by the deceased, etc.

When you see things and miss people, you take the relics with you so that you can keep the good memories no matter where you go.

This approach is completely understandable.

But when Yang Shiqi said the word "Hatsuyin", Hu Pingtao instantly understood that this was most likely a young man who was immersed in the two-dimensional world and couldn't extricate himself.

In fact, Yang Shiqi's appearance is not bad, and can even be said to be very good - he is nearly 1.8 meters tall, stands tall and straight, has fair skin, a thin face, and slightly long black hair, giving him an overall appearance.

Yu Wen is weak and bookish, masculine with a hint of femininity, and is the type that little girls like nowadays.

With such appearance capital, if he said he couldn't find a girlfriend... Hu Pingtao wouldn't believe it anyway.

The full name of "Hatsune" is Hatsune Miku. It is a sound source library developed by the island nation in 2007 based on the Yamaha series speech synthesis. The data is sampled from voice actor Fujita Saki. The result of the development of Hatsune Miku-style two-dimensional culture, as a virtual idol

, it perfectly represents the most beautiful fantasies in people's hearts, conquered many 2D fans with its sweet voice, and has also produced many familiar songs. Especially after the beginning of the music became popular a few years ago, major endorsements have been reluctant to accept it.

But no matter what, Miku is a virtual idol, and her identity is that of a beautiful girl.

Not to mention Yang Shiqi, Hu Pingtao also liked her before. The difference is that Hu Pingtao clearly distinguishes between virtuality and reality.

At this time, Li Ziyu once again let out a series of sharp screams.

"What else is there to say? He himself admits that there are no women around him. He is sick of ordering so much food by himself!"

"Putting a doll on the table and pretending to feed it, isn't this a lunatic?"

"He even poured orange juice for the doll, but it seemed like he was the only one around. We don't accept mentally ill patients in our store. You policemen should get him away quickly and don't let him get in the way of others. We still have business to do!"

Yang Shiqi could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He strode up to Li Ziyu and issued a shocking question.

"Didn't I pay for my meal?"

"Did I break any rules in the store?"

"What I do is my freedom, what does it have to do with you?"

Seeing this, Hu Pingtao quickly stepped forward to stop him.

"Okay, just say a few words." He raised his hand to signal Long Xu to pull Yang Shiqi aside, then turned to look at Li Ziyu, frowned and said, "Hurry up and call your boss."

Li Ziyu's resistance was very strong: "What do you want to do?"

Hu Pingtao said: "As I said just now, you don't have the final say on this matter alone. Your boss must come forward."

Li Ziyu shouted angrily: "Whose side do you policemen stand on? It's clear that a madman came to the store to cause trouble, and you still want to protect him?"

Hu Pingtao said calmly: "His behavior is normal. I don't think there is anything wrong with his brain."

Li Ziyu shouted: "He doesn't have a girlfriend at all. He sits there by himself, laughing at the doll, croaking, talking to himself and saying things that others can't understand. What is he other than a lunatic?"

Hu Pingtao became a little angry and asked, "Is it wrong that he likes that doll?"

Li Ziyu has her own theory: "The problem is that he treats the doll as a living person and feeds it food."

Hu Pingtao said coldly: "That's his business. He also said just now that he came to the store and ordered something and paid for it. How to eat it is his business."

Li Ziyu's fat face showed obvious anger, and he kept saying the same words over and over again: "He is a madman, he is an idiot!"

Hu Pingtao's eyes became sharp: "You... keep your moral integrity!"

"Everyone has their own favorite things. Whether he has a girlfriend or not, or whether his girlfriend is a real person, it's none of your business. There's nothing wrong with liking Hatsune. It's his own obsession to get a doll as his girlfriend.

.This is the peace that belongs to him deep in his heart. Even if you don’t understand it or find it strange, there is no need to break it.”

"To put it bluntly, his parents don't care, so why are you talking so much?"

Li Ziyu looked rigid and sarcastically said: "You mean I was wrong!"

Hu Pingtao was very indifferent to this: "Since you think he is a madman, why are you arguing with a madman? Haha... Aren't you afraid that the madman's madness will come up and beat you up, and then destroy the store?

Smashed?"

The words hit the point, and Li Ziyu opened her mouth. She didn't know how to answer for a moment, and an unspeakable fear subconsciously surged in her heart.

Yes! Before, I was just trying to be nice, but I forgot about this. If Yang Shiqi is angered, he will get angry regardless, smash the store, beat people, and even throw chairs and use knives... What should I do?

Hu Pingtao whispered to make peace and went straight to the point: "Call your boss! Apologize and let this matter be over."

…

On the way back to the institute, Long Xu was still thinking about this matter.

He thought about it and couldn't help but ask Hu Pingtao: "Boss, the more I think about it, the more I feel that that woman... Li Ziyu is right. If Yang Shiqi treats a doll like that, there must be something wrong with his brain, right?"

?”

Hu Pingtao shook his head and explained: "You don't understand this. But it's no wonder, your parents are both in the system, and you have received orthodox education since childhood. I guess when you were in school, let alone animation and games, you probably didn't even read extracurricular books.

They seldom read and study hard just to get into college?"

Long Xu was a little embarrassed by what he said and nodded: "I can't help it! In fact, my father is not that strict with me. Mainly because of my mother, who stares at me all day long and doesn't let me go out to play. Basically, during weekends and holidays

I stayed at home all the time studying for exams. I was still young at that time, and I could only listen to what the adults said. Now that I think about it... Oh, it’s really hard! Sometimes I don’t even have a chance to go out for a whole summer vacation.

After that, my mother bought a lot of test papers, several times more than my normal holiday homework."

Hu Pingtao smiled deeply and said: "Now that you are working, you are relieved."

"I will be relieved when I get into college." Long Xu blurted out: "When I grow up, my mother can't control me. But as for my girlfriend, she still keeps a close eye on me, saying that she must pass her level no matter what."

Hu Pingtao said: "So you can't understand Yang Shiqi's feelings for Miku. He is not a madman, and there is nothing wrong with his brain. Everyone's living environment is different, they have encountered different things, and their feelings for different things are different."

"Yang Shiqi likes the second dimension and animation, and has a high degree of acceptance of Miku. As time goes by, he feels that any woman in reality is inferior to Miku. Moreover, Miku is in line with his values ​​​​and ideal life, and will not raise objections, no matter what Yang Shiqi says

It listens to everything honestly. More importantly, it always has a smile on its face."

Long Xu found it a bit unbelievable and couldn't understand: "The expression of that doll is fixed, it will always look like that, okay?"

Hu Pingtao said seriously: "So I said you don't understand Yang Shiqi's feelings. When you have time, you'd better find a few excellent animation movies to watch, or I can take you to play games when you have time. In our line of work, you need to be smart.

Just be lively and lively.”

Long Xu said "hmm", still a little disapproving in his heart. He knew that he could not compete with Hu Pingtao in this regard, so he changed the subject: "Boss, that Li Ziyu is about the same age as Yang Shiqi. Even if the two people live in different circles, I
