secret chat room

Yonggye-dong Police Station.

At the front desk of the lobby, a gentle man wearing a white shirt and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses was filling out a form at his desk.

In the middle of writing, the man raised his head and looked at the female police officer at the front desk who couldn't help but peek at him out of the corner of her eye.

The female police officer quickly lowered her head and pretended to sort out the documents that she had sorted out several times.

"Um...hello!" The man said politely with a gentle smile on his face.

"Ah! Hello! Hello!" After hearing the call, the woman raised her head hurriedly and took the opportunity to glance at the column of the applicant's name on the form.

Zhuang Xie.

It turns out that this boy with such a beautiful smile is named Zhuang Xie.

The female police officer thought.

"This pen is out of water, can you help me replace it?"

Zhuang Xie said innocently, holding a pen in his right hand.

"Oh! Oh! Here! Here it is!" The female police officer found a intact pen in a hurry and handed it over.

"Thank you!" Zhuang Xie took the pen and thanked him with a smile again, then lowered his head to fill out the application form.

Zhuang Xie's act of borrowing a pen gave the female police officer an opportunity to start a conversation.

"What are you here for?" the female police officer asked nonchalantly.

The pen in Zhuang Xie's hand did not stop, and he was still writing furiously on the application form.

"A junior colleague with whom I had a close relationship passed away a while ago. He was an only son, so I had been thinking about when to visit their home. Who knew that I got the news two days ago that his father also seemed to have suffered an accident, so

I feel a little bit uncomfortable and want to know the details."

Zhuang Xie lowered his head and wrote, his words full of pain and regret, but there was no emotion in his eyes blocked by his glasses.

"Ah! So that's it!" The female police officer looked at Zhuang Xie with even more appreciation in her eyes.

"I just don't know if the police officer in charge of my colleague's father is nice to talk to. After all, you police officers are so busy. I'm going to increase your workload."

After Zhuang Xie filled out the registration form, he handed it to the female police officer opposite with a smile.

The female police officer took the interview registration form and looked at it curiously. "Oh! Are you talking about this case?" The female police officer seemed to understand something, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she realized something was wrong and stopped.

After all, due to the nature of the work, the awareness of confidentiality has long been ingrained in people's minds.

But when she raised her head and looked at Zhuang Xie, her heart moved again when she saw Zhuang Xie looking at her expectantly.

"Oh, according to the rules, I can't reveal this!"

The female police officer hesitated for a moment, "This case is in charge of a police officer named Wu. According to the analysis of the evidence at the case scene, it should be a very common case of the sudden death of the elderly at home. Officer Wu also judged this way at the beginning, but the case was soon closed.

At the critical moment, he suddenly said that the old man had been killed, causing a stir in the bureau. No, even I, who was not in the field, knew about it."

Seeing Zhuang Xie's surprised expression, the female police officer advised, "This case is still under investigation. Officer Wu is also busy with it now. The case has not been finalized yet, so you'd better not get involved.

Go in, otherwise, judging from Officer Wu's unusual state, you might also be taken away as a suspect for investigation!"

Zhuang Xie looked shocked and inexplicable. He seemed to be persuaded by the female police officer. After hesitating for a moment, he put the application form away, thanked the female police officer and left.

From the female police officer's point of view, this is actually quite normal. Most people would avoid hearing about murder cases, so this guy's reaction was perfectly normal.

...

After walking out of the door of the police station and turning the corner of the alley not far away, Zhuang Xie stopped and looked back at the police station.

At this moment, he doesn't have the same gentle look as before. Hidden in his eyes under his glasses, there is a vague coldness that is completely different from the one before.

Just this morning, he learned from the information from the future Wu Yuhe that the lunch box was also killed by the murderer in the group, which was consistent with his guess.

The other victim turned out to be Hammer whose real name was Zhang Guangbei.

The problem is that after conducting some research on Zhang Guangbei's personal information, Zhuang Xie finally found what he had been looking for before. Last night's search summarized the common connection points of all the people who died strangely throughout the night.

Zhang Guangbei’s son, Zhang Jiaming.

This familiar name caught Zhuang Xie's eyes.

Zhang Jiaming, a year and a half ago, when Zhuang Xieshang was still the director of the game department of Netyi Company, he was directly under him and was an employee with first-rate programming skills.

However, during a game maintenance update, due to negligence, a very serious character imbalance and BUG appeared after the game was updated, which seriously harmed the interests of players and caused many loyal players to have great emotions.

It was even briefly featured on Weibo’s hot search.

With subsequent emergency compensation and public relations, the crisis was finally overcome and the wave of withdrawals was avoided, but a lot of users were still lost.

As the first person responsible, Zhang Jiaming was fired without any surprise.

Zhuang Xie was the one who issued this order.

According to the investigation, after being fired, Zhang Jiaming did not fall into despair and started his own business. However, he was suspected of being deceived by his partners. He went bankrupt in an extremely bizarre and rapid manner. He lost all his savings over the years and was unable to even pay the rent for the house he rented.

The landlord immediately kicked him out.

And Zhu Chaoyang, who seems to have nothing to do with all this, is the landlord who kicked people out.

It seems that Zhang Jiaming finally couldn't bear the successive blows, so he committed suicide by throwing himself into a lake in the early morning of the 14th last month.

In this way, all the puzzle pieces seem to fit together.

Landlord Zhu Chaoyang, a business partner and a member of the same team as Zhang Jiaming, gave Zhuang Xie the dismissal order.

Intentionally or unintentionally, various factors contributed to Zhang Jiaming's suicide.

But at the end of the puzzle, the most important piece is missing.

That is, Zhang Guangbei, who had the perfect motive to kill and the ability to commit crimes, was already dead before he took action against himself.

But another person who was really unrelated, the clay sculpture, was positioned as the most likely suspect by the future Wu Yuhe.

Zhuang Xie looked at the phone in his hand, which showed a surveillance screenshot sent by Xingmang.

It's very unclear, but you can vaguely see the confrontation between a woman and an older man.

But they couldn't see their faces at all.

Wu Yuhe, a star in the chat group, said that this is the only way Zhang Guangbei needs to go home.

He was extremely suspicious that the surveillance screenshot in the picture was the hammer Zhang Guangbei, and the woman in front of him was the last person Zhang Guangbei met, the clay sculpture Hu Yan.

The motive for the murder was originally the most puzzling aspect of Xingmang.

The two have no grievances or grudges, and their relationship network has no intersection at all.

If it was a killing of passion, then Zhuang Xie's subsequent death would seem very unreasonable.

But everything, after the software update, Xingmang Wu Yuhe told Zhuang Xie that he finally completed the motive.

That is, after the update of this chat group, in addition to refreshing the game, the more important point is that a points system has been added.

Points are accumulated through games, and the group member with the highest points will be promoted to the group leader after meeting the conditions, and will be given the exclusive management rights of the group leader.

In other words, this magical and weird chat group can be completely owned by one person from now on.

This is a motive that can make ambitious people develop huge greed.

Some people will abide by the rules and work hard to clear the game to earn points, but naturally there will also be people who want to take shortcuts.

After all, rather than competing in the standings, some people may feel that it is faster to eliminate competitors.

Clay Hu Yan, in the eyes of Xingmang Wu Yuhe, cannot be ruled out as such a person.

The motive for murder is enough.
