Chapter 5: Evil Retribution (8)

Cao Ling: "Don't forget, at that time, Zhao Quanrui will be eighteen years old in more than a month, and he can make his own decisions at that time, at least in the legal sense." ”

Me: "And then?" ”

Cao Ling: "As you know, the bow and eagle archery was not easy to do as an entry test for professional teams at that time, and the most difficult step was to go to the Yulin Army camp to dig for treasure while another person killed a powerful elite monster. ”

Me: "That's good. ”

Cao Ling: "Fortunately, Zhao Quanrui participated in the internal test at that time and had four envoy tokens, so it was easy for him to go to the Yulin Army camp to dig up treasures, and at the same time, in order to increase my tolerance rate for killing elite monsters, before we split up, he used the skill 'Blood Pact' on me. ”

Me: "I see. ”

Blood Pact is an empty-handed skill that has the effect of taking damage to the target for a short period of time. Indeed, if you operate it like this, Cao Ling is equivalent to having the blood bar of two people, and the certainty of killing that elite monster is naturally much greater.

Cao Ling: "Not long after we split up, his father suddenly came back, and Zhao Quanrui was wearing headphones at the time and didn't notice this, so he was caught by his father. ”

"It's a tragedy." I remember that when I was a child, I also had the experience of being too involved in watching a game and being caught red-handed by my mother.

Cao Ling: "Then he and his father had a fierce quarrel, I don't remember exactly what they quarreled about, in short, in a hurry, Zhao Quanrui told his father about his idea of leaving this house and preparing to play a career." Then his father seemed to get very angry, and scolded a lot of ugly words, such as 'I don't have your son'. I heard the two of them turn from a verbal altercation to a push, and then I heard two sounds, and now I think it should be Zhao Quanrui who was pushed down by his father and hit a hard object such as a table corner. ”

Me: "......"

Cao Ling: "Then I heard the movement of Zhao Quanrui on the other side, but Zhao Longjun was still saying, 'Don't play dead, as for pushing it, you can't get up?' Son? Son? His voice grew quicker and faster, apparently realizing that his son wasn't pretending. ”

Me: "So, Zhao Quanrui was mistakenly killed by his father in a dispute?" ”

Cao Ling: "It should be like this. ”

Me: "So what did you do at the time?" ”

Cao Ling: "I originally thought it was just an ordinary dispute between father and son, and there was nothing big going on, and I kept listening to it with the mentality of watching the excitement, until I heard that something seemed to be a big incident on the other side and found that things were not good." At that time, I didn't know that Zhao Quanrui was dead, but the situation at that time really scared me, I was fighting the elite monster, because this matter was out of action for a few seconds, and when I reacted, my character had been killed. ”

I thought to myself, this is probably the cause of death of Zhao Quanrui's game character, since Cao Ling is dead, then Zhao Quanrui, who signed a "blood contract" with him, will definitely die first. That's why he died in such a strange location. A real-life living person actually died at the same time as his game character. When I heard about this unfortunate fate, I really didn't know how to react.

Me: "Didn't you think about giving the police the news that your good friend had died in an accident a few days later, and the report was unknown?" ”

Cao Ling: "At that time, his father didn't find out that I was on the other side of the network, which was a blessing in misfortune, and you still want me to throw myself into the net?" With his father's power, not to mention the black, he will definitely be able to wash it white, but I, an Internet addicted teenager, is soft-spoken, and there is no conclusive evidence in my hands. And you say that if someone like him knew that I had overheard the situation, he might have used some means to deal with me. ”

I nodded, "You're not wrong. ”

Now, I somewhat understand why Cao Ling has concealed this matter until now, and has repeatedly asked me to keep it secret, so he is willing to tell the truth of the matter. Indeed, that is, the mastermind behind the scenes does not know much about the game itself, otherwise, with his means, if he knows that there is such a fish that has slipped through the net, the past few years are enough time for Cao Ling to live and die in life.

Cao Ling: "You'll keep it a secret." ”

Me: "Don't worry. ”

"Do you have a way to deal with him?" He asked tentatively.

Me: "The information you provided is very helpful, don't worry, even if it is not available for the time being, it will be soon." By the way, I have one last question that might be a bit offensive and you can choose not to answer it. ”

Cao Ling: "Well, you ask." ”

Me: "What do you think about Zhao Quanrui's death?" ”

Cao Ling: "I...... I don't know, but I really don't want to play this game anymore, because as soon as I play the game, I will see the ID that never lights up again, and you know, this feeling is completely different from simply replaying the game. But I'm still paying attention to the game, after all, I used to love the game, and playing professionally was my dream. ”

On the way back, I sorted out the whole thing: Zhao Longjun didn't agree with his son playing the game, so he had an argument because of his son's confrontation after breaking the scene of sneaking into the game, and Zhao Longjun accidentally killed his son in the dispute. After that, he arranged the scene through some positional means, disguising his son's death as a pure accident, but he never expected that his son's game had been on, and the process of his killing was listened to by the "teammates" who formed a team voice in the game.

However, because he didn't know anything about the game, he didn't expect this situation at all, and Cao Ling on the other end hurriedly withdrew from the team, so the mastermind behind the scenes, who had always been meticulous, did not find this biggest omission.

He must have been in pain when his son died, but an extreme elitist like him would most likely not blame himself for his son's death, on the contrary. Throwing the blame on the "harmful game" can not only make it easier for me to accept the fact of "killing my son with my own hands" psychologically, but also find the foothold of the behavior. Therefore, he was psychologically unbalanced, and in the next few years, he frantically tried to bring down the game of "killing his own son".

In this way, the identity and motive of the mastermind behind the scenes can basically be confirmed, and we have even found him for a crime that is far more serious than "breaking the game".

However, the problem has not been completely solved, as Cao Ling fears, although there must be a price to pay for murder, manslaughter is no exception. But we still have no evidence, and it has been so long since the incident, he must have dealt with all the incriminating evidence at that time, let alone today, many years later.
