November 15th, at 9:40 p.m.
Ma Junxiao, the well-known professional player "Swallowing Ghost Xiao", was successfully rescued by the police.
It is said to be "rescued"... In fact, he was "released".
Shortly after Dongfeng was arrested, the three kidnappers received a "telephone order" to release the hostages. Although they hesitated, they followed suit.
A few minutes later, Gui Xiao, who left the residential building, was quickly protected by police officers hiding in the dark.
In the evening, at 10:15, after reuniting with his family, Gui Xiao went to the hospital for a simple examination. Then, at his own will, he followed Brother Chan back to the unit to prepare for the competition.
On the other hand, the three "executors" who kidnapped Gui Xiao executed the "retreat plan" at exactly ten o'clock, and as a result... they were arrested as soon as they left the house.
In the absence of hostages, it is easy for the police to subdue them... It was not until the three of them were escorted into the police car that they realized belatedly that the last few instructions did not seem to be issued by the "planner" himself.
Unfortunately... They realized it was too late.
Under the instruction of Jiu Ke, the police listed the three executors as the main suspects, and the case ended here. Deputy Director Zheng and the other undercover agent were also imprisoned soon... Their scripts were not clean, so they were threatened by Dongfeng; after this incident, the two were also dealt with.
And Dongfeng... fell into the hands of Jiuke, even Feng Bujue didn't know what the fate of this guy would be.
Anyway, Brother Jue didn't follow Bao Qing into the headquarters of the Nine Divisions. After he confirmed that Gui Xiao had been rescued, he asked Xiao Tan (tonight, this tall, rich and handsome doctor came to drive his friend in a trench car) to drive him away. I went back by myself.
Looking at the entire incident today, the only secret that has not yet been revealed is... the "identity of the mastermind", that is, the identity of the person who paid Dongfeng to hire him.
Of course, who this person is... doesn't matter. After Dongfeng entered the Ninth Division, he would definitely reveal the identity of this employer. Even if he is really professional, he will not say anything... With the ability of our section chief (for popular science, Gu Chen mainly had three professions when he was young, namely: doctor, ghost hunter, and detective). The identity of the mastermind can also be found out by reasoning alone.
"Having huge assets", "capable of participating in huge illegal gambling", "able to contact criminal consultants like Dongfeng"... It is not difficult to find people who meet these characteristics. Feng Bujue was also very aware of this, so he didn't go out of his way to dig deeper into the clue of the mastermind, he just rescued Gui Xiao, and then went home hiding his credit and fame.
...
November 16th, zero o'clock.
The last semi-final match of Peak Contest s2. It finally started after a delay of nearly twenty hours.
At the request of Gui Xiao and his family, Order did not release any news about the kidnapping incident during the day.
From the audience's point of view... everything is normal, just waiting for a wonderful outcome.
However, no one thought that the final result of this game would be...
...
"Abstain?" When Feng Bujue and his teammates saw this announcement in the conference room. Almost unanimously chanted such a sentence in a tone of surprise.
Who would have thought that... the pinnacle battle between order and the gods would end hastily with the gods abstaining.
"No way... There's no reason at all..." Hua Jian wondered after seeing the news.
"Could it be that... today's kidnapping case is really related to them?" Xiao Tan looked at Brother Jue and said, "When they found that Gui Xiao was safe and sound, they acted guilty... and just abstained?"
"No... Shi Long is not that kind of person." Feng Bujue answered in a firm tone.
Shilong is the real name of [Shiva], he used the name of an Indian god in the game, but in reality... he also has a quite famous name.
"Although I don't know him very well, I can see... this guy's character and disposition are not bad." Jue Ge raised his eyes to Xiao Tan, "Speaking of it... he is also a rich second generation."
"Hey, hey...why do you look at me when you talk about the rich second generation..." Xiao Tan couldn't help complaining.
"Okay..." Feng Bujue said, turning his head to look at the three beauties in the team. "And he... is also a rich second generation."
Before the words fell, the snacks in the hands of the three people flew out at the same time, quickly smearing brother Jue's face.
"OK~ok~" Brother Jue wiped his face, and then said, "He is similar to Jin Fugui...he is also a rich second generation."
After all, he looked at the reactions of his teammates... Taking Atobe as an example, everyone seemed to have no opinion.
Therefore, Feng Bujue continued: "As we all know, the rich second generation is divided into grades... For example, your families are probably equivalent to the grades of the crown princes of Arab countries; and Jin Fugui's family. Counting real estate, assets It's also over 100 million, but it's far behind you." He paused, "As for Shi Long's family... it's more than ten times bigger than Jin Fugui's family. So, also in his early twenties Young, relying on family support to start a business... Jin Fugui can only start from a small game studio, while Shi Long started directly from a large company."
As Brother Jue said, he picked up the drink on the table and took a sip: "Just to make a digression... I think Jin Fugui will be able to catch up with Shi Long in at most two years in terms of real-world operating capabilities; The latter is more suitable to be a professional player. In terms of operation... Shi Long is basically a shopkeeper. In the past few years after the establishment of the gods, other people have taken care of the daily affairs of the studio for him. I think... This is also the reason why the gods are always overwhelmed by order; fundamentally speaking, Shi Long is not a businessman, he often looks at problems from the perspective of a player or a team leader, rather than a capitalist, From the perspective of the operator. Although in some respects, this approach also has its advantages, but in the long run... it is not conducive to the profitability and development of the enterprise."
"Okay, don't talk too far." Seeing that brother Jue's chat was getting better, Huajian quickly brought the topic back, "Tell me why you think he won't instigate the kidnapping."
"It's very simple..." Feng Bujue replied, "The motive is not valid."
"Eh? According to the usual logic... he is the most motivated one, isn't he?" Xiao Tan asked.
"No..." Xiao Ling interjected thoughtfully at this moment, "It looks like that, but the truth is just the opposite..."
"That's right." Feng Bujue nodded, "People are paying attention to the 'result' of the game, but they ignore the 'meaning' of the game..."
Having said that, Hua Jian's bright eyes rolled. Suddenly realized: "That's right! Shiva is not only interested in the 'result of victory', but more importantly, the 'process of victory'."
"Of course." Brother Jue snapped his fingers, and continued, "Since the service of "Thriller Paradise" has been launched. [Swallowing Ghost Xiao] this id has occupied the title of 'strongest' all year round, whether it is the official leaderboard, player Spontaneous rankings, or various media reports...he is recognized as the number one player in the game. Originally...the strength of Order's "drunk life and dream of death" may not be stronger than the "Four Heavenly Kings of the Gods", but because of a ghost, the gods are in the game. The aspect of 'combat strength' that I am most proud of has also been suppressed." He paused for two seconds, then continued. "And to change this situation, there is only one way... and that is to defeat Gui Xiao's Order 1 team in the competition and prove the strength of the gods."
"Understood..." Ruoyu on the side also followed Juege's train of thought, and pondered at this moment, "For Shiva, this head-to-head confrontation with order...maybe more important than the final. He is the last thing he wants A person who can't play in Gui Xiao... because he needs to defeat a team of order with Gui Xiao in order to justify his name to the gods. On the other hand... winning a team without Gui Xiao to enter the finals is meaningless."
"That's right..." Hua Jian also continued, "If the order is defeated today because Gui Xiao failed to play... People's evaluation of Gui Xiao will not be lowered, and it will even become higher..."
"So... Shi Long has no reason to do that." Feng Bujue said again at this time. "In addition, the motive we just discussed...'kidnapping the opponent's main player in order to advance to the final' is just a superficial motive that anyone can see; Naturally, I have already told my teammates what happened during the day), it should be related to peripheral gambling." He spread his hands, "And then... it is even less likely to be related to Shi Long... Not to mention that his family is not short of money, And he earns legal money... In terms of Shi Long's personality, he also belongs to the type who will never gamble. I have fought against him not once or twice, his steady fighting style and blade's [broken] Military]similar, is the kind of absolute intellectuals. This kind of people are very strong in spirit, but also very proud; luck, or gambler psychology, in their view, are the bad habits of the weak, intrigue and "luck". They are not very good at such methods... They are the kind of people who like to use their strength to convince the opponent to lose."
"And that 'mastermind'..." Hua Jian followed Jue Ge's words. "Is he just a dirty gambler?"
"Heh..." Feng Bujue sneered, "The word 'gambler' is not suitable for that person, and the use of 'dirty' is not accurate. But I understand what you mean." He shrugged, "Anyway, Shi Long will never have anything to do with today's kidnapping incident, he is totally unaware of what happened during the day..." As he spoke, Brother Jue looked up at the ceiling with a pensive look on his face. "The gods abstained suddenly... there must be some other reason..."
...
On the sixteenth, at three twenty in the morning.
After being bombarded with various messages, emails, and phone calls for several hours, the exhausted Shi Long finally returned home.
About three months ago, Shi Long and his fiancée held a wedding, but they lived together for several years ago.
Their home is a villa in the urban area of S City (there are very few villas in the urban area, but there are still some, of course, the price is very... very expensive), the villa is not far from the headquarters of the gods, and it takes ten minutes to drive arrive.
Shi Long's wife works in his company and serves as his assistant; the two go in and out together every day, and they are very affectionate.
But tonight, after Shi Long drove his wife home, he let her go back to the room alone to rest.
And Shi Long himself... came to the study, locked the door, sat behind a desk... lost in thought.
His wife didn't come to disturb him, she understood... She didn't have to ask or say anything at this time.
This is the moment when a man needs to be quiet.
However, I'm afraid he won't be able to do so...
huh huh—
After a sound of metal roller friction, a bookshelf wall behind Shi Long moved halfway horizontally.
A man came out of it.
When Shi Long heard the voice, his expression changed abruptly and he turned his head suddenly, but he saw...
"Feng Bujue?" Shi Long was shocked, "Why are you in my house?" He paused for half a second, and then said, "How did you get into the refuge room?"
"I want to talk to you, but I think you'll be very busy tonight." Feng Bujue walked out with a smile, and strolled to the sofa next to the desk to sit down, "And... something to say in person It was more convenient, so I came directly here."
"I didn't ask why you came here..." Shi Long's expression was still not very friendly. Of course, this is also human nature... Even if your good friend sneaked into your home without your knowledge, you would be surprised. Angry, not to mention that they don't have a deep friendship, "I'm asking how you got in!"
"Oh... that..." Feng Bujue replied with a lazy expression, "Your home's anti-theft system hasn't been upgraded since you bought this villa, right? It's more than enough, but when you meet a master, it's like window paper..." As he spoke, he took out a note from his pocket, "Here... This is my invasion route map, just now when I was waiting for you in the refuge room I drew it when I was idle and bored; the method of intrusion is marked next to it, and some of my guidance on this anti-theft system are also attached. Take your time to show it to the security company and ask them to upgrade the system for you. Guaranteed... After it's done, no one will be able to get in except agents of Ethan Hunter's level."
Shi Long looked at Brother Jue with a dull expression, he was speechless, but in his heart, there were thousands of grass-mud horses roaring past...
After standing there for a few seconds, Shi Long took the paper, glanced at it, folded it carefully, and put it in the desk drawer...
"Oh, by the way, I discovered that 'refuge room' by accident." After sending out the note, Feng Bujue put his hands on the back of his head, leaned back on the sofa, and continued in a chatty tone, "I Originally, I wanted to wait for you in the study, but during the sneaking process... I found some abnormalities in the structure of the villa through observation, so I searched for it... "
"Brother Feng..." Shi Long was not in the mood to listen to his nonsense at the moment, he interrupted Brother Jue, and said, "I... am not in the mood to chat with you right now. Whether you are a family member or a hidden international thief... at this moment , I just want to ask you to leave my house." When he said this, his expression was very serious, "I won't say any bad words, I will just say - 'Please get out, or I will call the police'."
"Call the police?" Feng Bujue didn't intend to get up from the sofa at all when he heard the words, he smiled meaningfully and replied, "Oh...you and I both know what happened to you...the police can't help you Solve it..."(.)
