Late, nine o'clock sharp, before the start of the game...... Three hours to go.

S City, in front of a residential area.

"Sir, all entrances and exits of the community have been blocked, and the streets around the outer wall have also been guarded." A police officer who led the team came to the car in which Bao Qing was riding and reported the situation.

"Okay, all on standby, wait for my orders." Bao Qing nodded at the other party and raised the walkie-talkie in his hand.

The officer answered and returned to his post.

"Then ......" Two seconds later, Bao Qing turned his head and looked at the man in the back seat of the car, "...... What's next? ”

At this time, Feng Bujue, Wang Sizhi and Meng Jingchan sat side by side in the back seat of the Phaeton; Bao Qing sat in the passenger seat, and the one in the driver's seat was ...... is Bao Qing's colleague and an agent of the Ninth Branch.

"Wait." Feng Bujue only replied with one word.

"What are you waiting for?" Before Master Bao asked, Xiao Si was suspicious.

"Wait for the call." Feng Bujue said, patting his jacket pocket with his hand.

He had it in that pocket...... It was Zheng Xian's mobile phone.

"What do you mean......" Bao Qing replied thoughtfully, "...... Will that 'mastermind' call Jung Heon again? ”

"Not necessarily." Feng Bujue replied, "So I'm going to wait and see." ”

"Uh...... Brother Feng. Brother Chan was a little anxious at this time, "Is this really good...... The other party's purpose was originally to make it impossible for Ghost Xiao to rush to the game before midnight...... Isn't the time spent playing into their hands? ”

"Hah!" Brother Jue laughed dryly, "Brother Chan, you seem to have made a mistake......"

When Meng Jingzen heard this, he said suspiciously: "What did I mistaken?" ”

"It's true that the other party's purpose is to make it impossible for Ghost Xiao to rush to the game......" Feng Bujue replied, "but...... There are many ways to achieve this, and what you call 'time-consuming' is just one of them. ”

That's it. Meng Jingzen's face changed, and his reaction was quite fast, and Brother Jue ...... Immediately understood the seriousness of the matter.

"It seems that you have already thought of it......" Feng Bujue saw the change in Brother Zen's expression, and continued, "That's right, I want to make Ghost Xiao unable to compete...... There are many ways to do it; There's no need to 'kidnap' at all...... Just find someone to break a few bones in him, or knock him in a slight concussion or something...... One step at a time. ”

"Then why didn't they do it?" Bao Qing asked at this time.

"Huh...... Of course they have their reasons......" Feng Bujue sneered, "According to my personal summary...... There are roughly five situations in which abnormal behaviors deviate from the general logic in the course of committing a crime - first, disrupting the investigation and intentionally doing it; Second. to serve the motive of the crime; third, in order to follow a special tradition (for example, there is an old tradition in the thief industry to pull at the crime scene before leaving); Fourth, whims; Fifth, stupidity. ”

After summing up, Brother Jue paused for two seconds before saying, "Taking the case in front of me as an example, I think it's the second case......

"Serve the motive of the 'mastermind'?" Xiao sighed.

"Yes." Feng Bujue said yes.

"Speaking of which......," Brother Chan continued, "I've thought about it too...... If Ghost Xiao can't participate, then the direct beneficiary will be our opponent 'Gods'; Could it be that the mastermind is from the studio of the gods? ”

"Not necessarily...... Feng Bujue squinted at Brother Zen and said, "The gods have always been a very well-behaved studio, and you industry insiders should know this better than me, right?" ”

"Yes...... But who else can profit from ...... other than them," Zen Ge chanted? ”

"Heh......" Feng Bujue said with a smile. Why are you still thinking about those things that are on the surface? Think about illegal deeds. ”

"This ......," something flashed through Dream Zen's mind.

"Oh! I know! Xiao Si also said loudly at this time, "Is it an off-court handicap?" ”

"I finally guessed correctly...... Feng Bujue spread his hands and said, "This is the most reasonable motive." ”

"Hmm......" Bao Qing followed his train of thought and continued: "Explain it like this." It's logical......" he said as he thought, "In terms of the attention and influence of today's game, there must be a handicap for off-court betting." And more than one; And the 'mastermind' of the kidnapping incident in front of him has undoubtedly made a big bet on the gods in a certain handicap...... You can't ...... win."

"Presumably, the 'mastermind' didn't intend to 'gamble' from the beginning, he went to 'win'......" Feng Bujue took over the conversation again, and said, "Since it has long been decided to rely on off-field means to determine the outcome of the game, then he will naturally put all the money on the side of the gods with higher odds...... "So, he found the 'mastermind' and directed today's good show." ”

"The 'mastermind' is indeed a very clever man...... "he planned a 'kidnapping,' not an 'attack,' if it was...... If it is a violent crime, the police will investigate as soon as possible. Kidnapping is different...... As long as they don't call for ransom, even if the family reports it, it's a missing person at best...... And the missing man is a big guy, and the time is less than half a day, so it usually doesn't attract much attention. ”

"In addition......" Feng Bujue said at this time, "the mastermind's 'motive' can also be well concealed." He tapped his finger on his forehead, "If it had been an attack today, the headline would have been 'Famous esports player attacked on the day of a key event', but what about the current situation...... If everything had gone according to the 'planner', tomorrow the media would have written, 'Well-known e-sports players were absent from key events for no reason, and the person in question argued that he was being illegally detained'......" After that, he looked at the dream and said, "Do you understand, what's the difference?" ”

"The former is a sure thing that someone is maliciously manipulating the game." Brother Chan thought for a few seconds and replied, "The latter...... It's not clear. ”

"To sum up......," Feng Bu said, "combined with the 'mastermind' instructing Zheng Xian to delay the investigation...... At least for now, their plan should still be to 'restrict the personal freedom of the ghost before the game starts'. He paused, "But ...... If we don't handle it properly, or if we push them too hard...... Maybe the other side will escalate the action......"

"When you say 'mishandled', don't you mean ......" Xiao Si seemed to have thought of something, and he turned his gaze out the car window.

"Hit the grass and scare the snake." Feng Bujue summed up the answer in four words.

"Then what you mean by 'action escalation' is ......," Brother Chan asked again.

"Isn't this clear...... Brother Jue said with a blank eye, "As long as the 'masterminds' make a phone call, the three executors who kidnapped Ghost Xiao can immediately give Ghost Xiao a stick, do you say they are fast or we are fast?" ”

"After you say so...... "Dream Zen frowned, "Let's not save this person......" Brother Zen's three views are obviously relatively correct, "The game is small, and the life is big...... Anyway, after the game time, they will release them, so let's wait here...... Let's give top priority to the safety of the hostages. ”

"Yes...... Xiao Si also responded, "In case you alarm the other party in the process ......of rushing in, a fish will die and the net will be broken."

"Hmph...... You guys are so naïve......" At this moment, Feng Bujue snorted coldly and interrupted the words of the two of them, "As early as when Zheng Xian was brought into the interrogation room, we had already 'scared the snake', and there was no way back for a long time in this matter......

"What?" Bao Qing was stunned when he heard this.

"Could it be that Zheng Xian has found an opportunity to report the news?" Xiao Si and Brother Chan also had similar reactions.

Feng Bujue glanced at them separately, and said in a deep voice: "Huh...... Have you forgotten...... Previously, Zheng Xian 'received' a call from the planner, and then passively carried out the task. So...... Until then, how did the 'planners' know the progress of the investigation? How did he know that you had reported the crime, where you had reported it, and that the police had set up a task force? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the car changed their expressions.

Woo-woo-woo

At this moment, there was a vibrating sound of a mobile phone...... It sounded in an atmosphere of silence and amazement.

Feng Bujue picked up Zheng Xian's mobile phone (which had been taken out of the evidence bag), glanced at the caller number, and picked it up: "You finally called, I'm almost impatient." ”

"Actually, I could have avoided the call, but ......" came an obviously processed, hoarse voice on the other end of the line, "I'm curious...... Who are you sacred? ”

"I don't dare to be sacred, I'm almost crazy." Feng Bujue replied with a smile.

"Heh......" the voice laughed too, "Well, Mr. Mad ......" he then threw a question, "Looks like you're planning to play a game with me?" ”

"Yes, yes." Feng didn't feel the answer.

"Heh......" the other party sneered, "In this situation, do you really think you have fun?" ”

"Absolutely." Brother Jue replied, "I'm afraid you won't dare to play." ”

"Hehehe...... Hahahaha...... "The planner laughed again and again when he heard this, "You're funny......" He retracted his smile and continued, "But being interesting doesn't mean you're capable." ”

"You're funny too." Feng Bujue replied in a lazy tone, "I'm already looking forward to your reaction when you lose miserably." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone......

Three seconds later, the hoarse voice spoke again: "I'll give you fifteen minutes to find out the 'exact location of the target' and text me to this number." He paused for half a second, "In fifteen minutes, this number will be invalidated, and then ...... If I haven't received the text message, or if you've sent the wrong answer, then we don't have much to talk about. ”

"Heh......" Feng Bujue chuckled lightly and continued, "You're not afraid that after I find the target, I will directly lead people to break in...... Hold the audience with a burst of tear gas before you have time to give any instructions? ”

"You can try." After the planner said this, he hung up the phone...... (To be continued......)
