secret chat room

"clatter……"

"clatter……"

"clatter……"

Zhuang Xie stretched out a finger from his right hand and tapped it rhythmically on the table. The thumb of his left hand slightly held his chin, and his index finger restlessly rubbed his eyebrows.

This is Zhuang Xie's habitual way of thinking about problems.

He has found it difficult to concentrate since he was a child, so he uses some small body language to give himself some psychological reminders to help him concentrate.

Over time, the habit of inattention changed, but those small actions remained.

Whenever he makes this little move, people who are really familiar with him tend not to bother him, even Cheng Najing who always likes to stick to him like chewing gum.

Well, speaking of it, Zhuang Xie really doesn’t have many acquaintances...

He didn't spend too much time obsessing over Xingguang's prediction of his own death, but began to tease out the existing clues.

Zhuang Xie has never believed in fate. Even if what Xing Mang Wu Yuhe said is true, the future will definitely change from the moment he learns the news.

Yes, Zhuang Xie did not believe everything Wu Yuhe said, and he still had reservations about it in his heart.

Appropriately doubting everything is an excellent quality that a strategy player who is good at conquering games must possess.

However, after the chat room was updated and unavailable last night, Zhuang Xie still searched the Internet for recent death cases in Jiangnan District.

Due to network control, most of the cases found are actually incomplete. For truly difficult cases, most cases will be communicated with the media and the reporting time will be postponed to buy time to solve the case, which is also to reduce the pressure of public opinion in society.

But after all, the entire Jiangnan region is too big.

As far as the cases that can appear on the Internet are concerned, they are already densely packed.

Zhuang Xie, who rarely came into contact with information in this area, was slightly surprised to find that the area he was in was far less safe than he had imagined.

Underground fights with vigorous organizations are of little relevance, so they will be crossed out for the time being.

The husband and wife quarreled, and the old Wang next door sent condolences, triggering a series of bloody incidents. Najing should be interested in this, so I will cross it out for now.

The brothers' inheritance was unevenly divided. In order to forge wills, the brothers killed their fathers one after another... The plots of the story submissions have been crossed out for now.

...

After spending a lot of time classifying and analyzing, Zhuang Xie finally identified several events.

These deaths all have one thing in common, that is, most of them are judged to be sudden death cases.

It stands to reason that in first-tier cities, young migrant workers are under too much work pressure and have irregular work and rest schedules. It is common for one or two sudden deaths to occur occasionally.

But exceptions are often hidden in ordinary things.

Most of the people identified by Zhuang Xie had no family history of hereditary disease. According to family members during the investigation, they claimed that they were usually in good health, but suddenly they could not breathe. In just a few seconds, they died.

The reason why these were singled out by Zhuang Xie was that in addition to the unique way of death, they also had one thing in common, the circle.

From the day everyone becomes independent from their family and enters society, they will begin to enter circles, such as circles derived from career, hobbies, and interactions with classmates.

If some people are a little content with the status quo, they will actually go around in the same or several circles throughout their lives.

The people Zhuang Xie circled, based on their professional judgment, all belong to the IT industry circle.

The most important thing is that some of them are even people Zhuang Xie knows.

For example, there is a photo of the deceased on the computer desktop at this time. This person's name is Zhang Yuge. Before Zhuang Xie left Wangyi Company to start his own studio, he had worked for Zhuang Xie for a period of time.

But the clue ends here.

After all, there are many things that have not been investigated in depth on the spot, and it is impossible to find out what happened by looking at the case alone.

What's more, this is just information that Zhuang Xie found through searching on the Internet and spliced ​​together from fragmented news reports.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhuang Xie suddenly thought of something and entered a line of words on the computer screen in front of him.

"Group member's lunch box, real name: Zhu Chaoyang."

Zhu Chaoyang also died suddenly and suddenly.

The accidental death cases identified by Zhuang Xie, including Wu Yuhe's claim that he would die in the future, were all related to the IT industry, except for Zhu Chaoyang.

Zhu Chaoyang's parents died. Before that, he was an unemployed vagrant who owned more than a dozen houses in Lianyundong.

Referred to as charter company.

But for some reason, Zhuang Xie's intuition told him that Zhu Chaoyang's death should be inextricably related to this incident.

There must be some kind of connection between myself, Zhu Chaoyang, Zhang Yuge and other people who died suddenly and strangely.

Murderers are generally divided into two types. One is the indiscriminate murderer, who commits crimes of passion and desires. The scope of the victims cannot be delineated and analyzed, which is often the most difficult to investigate.

The other type is a murderer who has traces to follow and a motive to kill. He can often find clues by investigating the network of connections around the victim.

It is obvious that Zhuang Xie has found the first commonality. As long as he continues to find out the connection between himself and those people, who the suspect is will naturally surface.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Xie couldn't help but glance at the corner of the computer screen.

That's a cute cartoon penguin icon.

Then look at the electronic clock on the wall.

July 06, 2019, 07:00.

It has been one night since the chat room was updated.

Zhuang Xie stayed up all night. In addition to investigating information, he was waiting for the chat room to be updated.

...

Just when his eyes were half closed, he was lying on his back on the computer chair with his eyes closed to relax.

"bite!"

There was a sound, and Zhuang Xie opened his eyes instantly, and his bright light suddenly appeared.

It is hard to imagine that a person who has stayed up all night can still send out such a heart-wrenching gaze.

Zhuang Xie clicked on the chat room and finally entered unimpeded this time.

A prompt box popped up.

"Dear user, the software has been updated. The main update matters can be found in 'Related to this software'. I wish you a happy use!"

Zhuang Xie quickly closed the prompt box, slid down the mouse, and clicked into the chat interface with Xingmang Wu Yuhe.

Gear: "Who is the suspect you mentioned?"

It took a long time for the other party to reply.

Xingmang: "You came in just after the update was completed. You didn't sleep all night, did you?"

Gear: "Stop talking nonsense and get down to business. One more thing, how do you confirm that I am really dead?"

Xingmang: "Zhuang Xie, right? Your real name. This is the information I learned after your death was confirmed. By the way, I am also responsible for your case."

Gear: "Why don't you tell me the key point? Tell me, who is the murderer? Didn't you say you want to cooperate?"

Wu Yuhe was silent for a longer time this time, seeming to be thinking about something.

Xingmang: "Okay, actually, I was thinking about whether to tell you about this last night. Before you, there were two other group members who were also suspected to have been killed by the murderer. They were Zhu Chaoyang, the lunch box, and

as well as......"

Xingmang: "Zhang Guangbei whose ID is Hammer."

Xing Mang: "After analyzing our respective timelines, I can almost guess that the biggest suspect is actually the member whose ID is Clay Sculpture.

And the most important thing is that when she disappeared, it was like she disappeared from the world.

In my current timeline."
