King Crazy Game

"Flowers are easy to see when they bloom, but hard to find when they fall. The person who buried the flowers in front of the steps is worried to death." Lin Zicheng walked to Liang Xijin and handed him a bottle of mineral water. "Your game is over, shouldn't you be happy?"

Liang Xijin took the bottle, lifted it up, put the bottle in front of her eyes, looked at Lin Zicheng and asked: "Do you think I am not a human now?"

"You were a human at first, why did you change later?" Lin Zicheng found a clean stone slab to sit on, and looked at Liang Xijin calmly, "Moisten your throat before you tell me, I guess it's not a short story."

Liang Xijin's expression froze for a while before she sneered, "A story of more than 20 years is indeed not short."

"My mother and Liang Fuming had a marriage of convenience. After my mother died, I dreamed every night that my father wanted to kill me. Fortunately, Liang Fuming was not at home all year round, so I was only afraid in my dreams. When I woke up, I was still the son of the Liang family, Master Liang. Later, Xihe's mother Xia Qing married me. She should be considered my aunt. She didn't like Liang Fuming. It was Liang Fuming who forced her to marry him, and it was Liang Fuming who forced her to have Xihe."

Lin Zicheng frowned: "How do you know?"

"That night, the school was temporarily closed, and I went home early. When I passed by the study, I saw him and Zhang Yueyang plotting inside. Zhang Yueyang said that since Liang Fuming had killed Liang Junming, he was just waiting for Xia Qing to marry him. Liang Junming is my uncle. When I heard that, my first reaction was that they were crazy. They killed my mother and my uncle because of a woman."

"Liang Fuming said that Xia Qing would rather die than marry him. Zhang Yueyang said that he had a way. I don't know what method he used, but later Xia Qing really married Liang Fuming and got pregnant with Xihe. My aunt didn't want children, so she seldom took care of Xihe since she was born. So I took care of Xihe every day. Liang Fuming was a cruel man. I guessed that after getting Xihe, he would definitely find a chance to kill me, so I held Xihe tightly in my hand like a life-saving straw."

Liang Xijin paused here, opened the water bottle, and took a big sip: "Xihe followed me every day. After Liang Fuming saw it, maybe he was old and his heart softened. He no longer ignored me and sometimes even talked to me. But I never longed for this kind of charity fatherly love. For me, he might as well give me more of his property."

"One day I received a package containing Liang Fuming's will. I only got one-fourth of the huge fortune, and I had to ensure Xihe would live a worry-free life. There was also a recording of him hitting my mother to death. It was ridiculous. If I didn't have his blood flowing in my body, he would have hit me to death. My mother did nothing, so she became the fish under Liang Fuming's knife. If I continue to do nothing, I will be the fish on the chopping board sooner or later."

"Wait." Lin Zicheng interrupted the excited Liang Xijin and asked, "Was that express mail sent to you by Zhang Yueyang?"

"Apart from him, who else can get such detailed information?" Liang Xijin snorted coldly, "He wants to use me to gain more money and power from the Liang family. We are just using each other."

Lin Zicheng: "He was the one who dragged you into this game?"

Liang Xijin's face suddenly tensed up, and she looked at Lin Zicheng coldly: "You're joining this game too? You want game rewards too?"

Lin Zicheng shook his head and smiled faintly: "To be honest, I was forced to participate in this game. I don't know what to do in this game, nor do I know what will happen at the end of the game. I feel like I was pulled here to watch you."

"A bystander?" Liang Xijin laughed, "A witness."

Lin Zicheng did not give him a chance to doubt, and said very bluntly: "I have no interest in this game, not now, and not in the future. You don't have to regard me as one of your competitors. I cherish my life and I am afraid of death."

"Lin Zicheng, if someone else said this, I would definitely not believe it, but if you say it, I believe it. Since I survived, I must not let Xihe's death go to waste. I will get the final reward, and I will make the Liang family stronger in my hands."

Liang Xijin burst into laughter after he finished speaking. Lin Zicheng stood up and sighed softly: "Good luck to you."

Walking out of the small garden, Lin Zicheng just took out his phone and was about to ask someone to check Zhang Yueyang further when the phone suddenly rang. It was Li Yize, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Li Yize said nervously, "When I was investigating Liang Fuming's brother Liang Junming, I found that it was Liang Junming who arranged for Zhang Yueyang to smuggle out of the country. Zhang Yueyang committed a crime in City B, Country B, and was later taken abroad by Liang Junming. You guys just happen to be in City B. Isn't this a coincidence?"

Lin Zicheng did not answer, but continued to ask: "What did Zhang Yueyang do in City B?"

Li Yize: "I don't know. I searched for a long time but couldn't find any case records."

Lin Zicheng smiled and said, "Officer Li, why is it that no one is interfering with you while you are looking into the case now?"

Li Yize was stunned: "After I came back, my superiors suddenly told me that they knew about the case on the cruise ship and received a thank-you letter from the passengers. Then I was commended and promoted without doing anything. Now I can look up old cases without any approval procedures."

After saying that, he asked carefully: "Lin Zicheng, you planned all this, right?"

Lin Zicheng smiled and said, "Officer Li, please don't let me down. If possible, I hope you can help me investigate the cases of accidental deaths in City B that were not claimed by their families 20 years ago."

Li Yize was puzzled: "Isn't that a lot? If you look for cases like this, you can fill up a whole room."

"Officer Li, I believe you can see at a glance the case I want."

Li Yize was so stunned by his words that he didn't know what to say and could only say "hmm" in agreement.

Tang Zhi stayed in the cemetery until the evening before returning home. On the way home, it suddenly started to rain. He looked at the umbrella in his hand, thinking about something, and suddenly he realized something and immediately strode towards Fang Yang's home.

Shen Qingning was walking on the road slowly, holding an umbrella and carrying snacks bought from a convenience store. Suddenly, a black figure rushed into him. Before he could see the other person's face clearly, the man pushed him away and ran straight ahead.

"How rude! Shouldn't you say sorry if you bump into someone?" Shen Qingning straightened the umbrella again, looked at the figure disappearing in the rain, and smiled grimly, "I have plenty of time to wait for your apology."

When Tang Zhi arrived at Fang Yang's house, it was already devastated by the fire. The walls on all four sides were pitch black, and the only things left were steel frames and other things. He kept digging in the four corners of the house. He once taught Fang Yang that if you want to keep something, the safest place is to hide it underground in the corner of the wall, the deeper the better.

"Are you looking for this? Tang Zhi."

A very faint voice, without a trace of warmth or ups and downs, came from behind him.
