King Crazy Game

"I don't know if you have any dietary restrictions, but I ordered dishes based on most of the locals' tastes."

Lin Zicheng sat at the head of the table in the box, smiling politely, and asked in a gentle, sincere, and casual voice: "Professor Zhang, are you a local?"

This was a common question that most people would easily answer, but Zhang Guan suddenly got stuck. After a few seconds, he explained, "After I went to college here, I moved my household registration here."

"Oh..." Lin Zicheng smiled at him and asked, "Where was Professor Zhang's hometown?"

Zhang Guan did not answer directly, but replied casually: "It's just an inconspicuous small village."

"A noble son is born in a poor family, and a noble official is born in a humble family. Professor Zhang is a rare talent."

Zhang Guan was not too humble and answered vaguely with a "hmm".

At this time, the door of the box was opened, and Li Yize rushed in with sweat all over his forehead. Zhang Guan's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly.

Li Yize looked at Lin Zicheng in shock. On the phone, Lin Zicheng kept asking him to hurry over. Li Yize thought it was something big, but it turned out that he was having dinner with Zhang Guan.

Lin Zicheng stood up and pulled out a stool for Li Yize. "I think you two know each other, so there's no need to introduce each other. Officer Li, come and sit down. We ordered a lot of dishes today. I wonder if they suit your taste."

Li Yize was confused and sat dumbly beside Lin Zicheng, opposite Zhang Guan: "You called me here just to have a meal?"

"Of course not." Lin Zicheng poured him a cup of tea. "The courier's death requires Professor Zhang's help. Now is the chance."

Li Yize looked at him in confusion. What help did he need from Zhang Guan?

When Zhang Guan heard his words, a trace of uneasiness flashed across his face, and then he said coldly: "I'm just a teacher, how can I help?"

Lin Zicheng smiled calmly: "It is because Professor Zhang is a teacher that he plays a key role."

Zhang Guan stared at him and snorted, "What's the function?"

Lin Zicheng: "When Fang Nanjin was taking the statement, she said that the deceased courier Ma Feng bumped into her on the road and asked where Jin Huan was. A courier, and not a new one, couldn't possibly be unfamiliar with the location of the most famous local entertainment club. So he deliberately asked Fang Nanjin, so the question is, why did he ask Fang Nanjin?"

Li Yize suddenly had an epiphany and immediately responded, "He already realized that he was in danger, but he had no other options, so he could only ask his friends for help. I checked his interpersonal relationships, and found that he rarely talked and had few friends. Moreover, those friends were ordinary people, and they wouldn't be able to help him if he really got into trouble."

Lin Zicheng smiled and nodded: "So he placed all his hopes on his capable friend, Professor Zhang Guan, who was his fellow villager. In the eyes of many people, teachers are like life-saving straws, and they think they will be as kind and moral as what is said in the textbooks."

Zhang Guan was stunned. It turned out that those common questions at the beginning were just to create psychological barriers for him.

"Professor Zhang, is that right?" Lin Zicheng looked at Zhang Guan with interest. "You and the courier must have known each other for a long time. Where were you when he died?"

Zhang Guan was not nervous at all, but sneered calmly: "I have known him for a long time, so what? You suspect I killed him? What evidence do you have?"

Li Yize's biggest headache comes when facing such a highly intelligent suspect. Without a heated debate, he won't be able to dig out any important information.

"I didn't say you killed someone. I just asked where you were? Are you waiting for him to be killed, or are you waiting for him to be killed?" Lin Zicheng put away his smile. His sharp aura made people feel a little scared. "Professor Zhang, I actually asked you and Police Officer Li to come here today to give you a chance to make amends for your mistakes."

"I have done some research on your background. Your father was in a car accident when you were young and lost both legs. He was unable to work, so all the family's income came from your mother, who eventually became ill from overwork. You had excellent grades since childhood, but the burden on your family prevented you from continuing your studies. Even your work-study salary and scholarships had to be contributed to this miserable family."

With every word Lin Zicheng spoke, Zhang Guan's expression became more severe.

"Later, your mother probably felt that she couldn't hold you back any longer, so on your first day at college, she set fire to all your burdens. You want to throw away what your mother sacrificed her life for?"

Zhang Guan placed his hands on the table, clenched them into fists, and tried his best to suppress the trembling of his body.

"Ha..." Lin Zicheng showed no sign of giving up, and instead added fuel to the fire, "And your lover Fang Nanjin has been successfully trained by you, but now she has to rely on you even to go out. If you go in, I'm afraid she and the baby in her belly will be in danger."

Zhang Guan slammed the table hard, stood up, his eyes red, like a ferocious beast ready to pounce and bite Lin Zicheng at any time.

Lin Zicheng looked at him calmly, with the corners of his mouth raised: "What do you think? Professor Zhang, do you want to seize this opportunity?"

Zhang Guan stared at him intently. After a few minutes, he finally suppressed his anger and sat down again.

"I said," Zhang Guan's throat was a little dry, and he took a sip of tea, "I met Ma Feng when I was delivering a courier. He spoke to me in dialect, and I replied casually. When he found out that we were from the same hometown and that I was a university teacher, he was particularly kind and respectful to me. A few months ago, he suddenly found me and said that he was in trouble."

"I asked him what happened, and he said that when delivering the package, he mistakenly sent a box of medicine from Jinhuandai to another customer. I thought it was no big deal and comforted him, saying it was just a box of medicine, so it was just a mistake. He looked nervous at the time, but he didn't say anything. A few days later, Jinhuandai was suspended for rectification, and I realized that the box of medicine was definitely not ordinary medicine."

"Because of the last incident of delivering the wrong medicine, he stopped delivering any packages to Jinhuandai, thinking that this would be fine. But Jinhuandai specifically asked him to go and receive the package that day. He was very scared and nervous that day. When he was at Hotel C, he even had an argument with Fang Shanchi over the package number."

"He knew Xiao Jin was my fiancée, so he bumped into her on the road on purpose, and even specifically asked how to get to Jin Huan Dai. As you said, Xiao Jin would tell me whatever happened, so she called me at the time and told me about Fang Shan Chi's fight with Ma Feng. I realized something was wrong, and immediately drove to Jin Huan Dai."

"I didn't dare to call Ma Feng, so I could only pretend to search for fun at the scene, but I found nothing. Finally, when I was about to give up, I saw a figure dragging Ma Feng's body into a van on the road opposite the back door of the club."

"I didn't dare to follow him. Later I learned that someone used Fang Shanchi's car and dumped Ma Feng's body on that road." Zhang Guan lowered his head, thought for a while and said, looking up, "That's all I know. It was too dark at the time and I couldn't see clearly. I could only roughly see that the figure was about 1.8 meters tall. I don't know if he was the one Jin Huan was waiting for."

"I've seen the video of Ma Feng entering the Jinhuantai." Li Yize's voice sank. "He followed the procedure and received the package. At the same time, he looked around with a very nervous expression. Later, he went to the toilet and then left in a hurry."

"Why would someone who is afraid of Jin Huandai go to the toilet? Shouldn't he finish quickly and leave? And the box of medicine Jin Huandai asked to be delivered, did he do it often? Or was it just that one time? If he had asked the courier to deliver the medicine frequently, it means that Jin Huandai and Ma Feng were in a cooperative relationship, and an accident just happened that time."

Lin Zicheng raised his lips meaningfully and looked at Zhang Guan, "Professor Zhang, didn't Ma Feng tell you what that medicine was?"

Zhang Guan was stunned. In his previous words, he had clearly stated that he didn't know what the medicine was. Lin Zicheng was asking again now. Was he really giving himself a chance?

He turned his gaze to Li Yize, his eyes complicated, suspicion mixed with fear.

Li Yize felt a little uncomfortable when he was staring at him. He swallowed a mouthful of water, pretended to cough and said, "I won't reveal any of your information to others."

Zhang Guan seemed to be still hesitating, his eyes wandering.

Lin Zicheng said threateningly, "Professor Zhang, if you don't clean it up before the enemy finds you, you'll be next."

Zhang Guan took a deep breath and said, "When he said it was sent to the wrong place, he mentioned that this drug might make people unconscious and they would not resist anything."

Li Yize was stunned for a moment, holding the chopsticks tightly with both hands. If it is true, Jin Huandai must be investigated strictly.

"Officer Li, please cherish your life." Lin Zicheng seemed to see what Li Yize was thinking. "Last time when Jinhuantai was closed for rectification, whoever was responsible was keeping a close eye on you, so Officer Li can only keep climbing up to find the deep-buried roots."

Li Yize looked at him, bit his lip and said nothing.

Shen Qingning had afternoon tea with Jiang Yunyun and easily found out who Jiang Quanyang was related to, and then asked someone to find all of them from these friends. There was no major discovery at present, and only a detailed investigation could tell who was the NPC in this game.

Just after returning to the hotel, the front desk called him to pick up a courier.

Shen Qingning opened the envelope and found only a USB drive inside.
