Yonggye-dong Police Station.

At the front desk of the hall, a mild-mannered man in a white shirt and gold-rimmed glasses was sitting at a desk filling out a form.

Just as he was halfway through writing, the man looked up at the female police officer at the front desk who couldn't help but peek at him with his peripheral vision.

The female officer hurriedly bowed her head, pretending to be sorting out the documents that had been sorted out several times.

"That...... Hello! The man smiled politely and politely.

"Ahh Hello! Hello! When the woman heard the call, she looked up in a hurry and took the opportunity to glance at the applicant's name column on the form.

Zhuang Xie.

It turns out that this boy who looks so good with a smile is named Zhuang Xie.

The female officer thought.

"This pen is a little out of water, can you help me get a new one?"

Zhuang Xie held a signature pen in his right hand and said innocently.

"Oh! Oh! Over here! Here you go! The female officer scrambled to find a good pen and handed it over.

"Thank you!" Zhuang Xie, who took the pen, smiled and thanked him again, and lowered his head again to fill out the application form.

Zhuang Xie's act of borrowing a pen gave the female police officer a chance to provoke a conversation.

"What are you here for?" The female officer asked casually.

The pen in Zhuang Xie's hand did not stop, and he was still writing the application form.

"A colleague with whom I had a good relationship passed away a while ago, and he was the only son in the family, so I always remembered when I would go to their house. Who knew that he got the news two days ago, and his father seemed to have suffered an accident, so he felt a little overwhelmed and wanted to learn more about it. ”

Zhuang Xie lowered his head and wrote, his words were full of pain and regret, but in the eyes covered by glasses, there were no emotional fluctuations.

"Ahh I see! The female police officer looked at Zhuang Xie at this time, but her eyes were even more appreciative.

"I just don't know if the police officer in charge of my colleague's father is good or not, after all, you police officers are so busy, and I will increase your workload."

After Zhuang Xie filled out the registration form, he smiled and handed it to the female police officer opposite.

The female police officer took the interview registration form and looked at it curiously. "Oh! You say this case? The female officer seemed to understand, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she realized that something was wrong and stopped.

After all, due to the nature of the work, the sense of confidentiality has long been deeply rooted in the concept.

But when she raised her head to look at Zhuang Xie, and saw Zhuang Xie looking at herself as if she was looking forward to it, her heart couldn't help but move.

"Well, according to the rules, I can't reveal this!"

The female police officer hesitated, "This case is in charge of a police officer surnamed Wu, according to the analysis of the evidence at the scene of the case, it should be a very common case of sudden death of an elderly man at home, at the beginning Officer Wu also judged this, but at the threshold of the case, he suddenly said that the old man was killed, and there was a lot of trouble in the bureau, no, even if I am not in the field, I know about it." ”

Looking at Zhuang Xie's surprised expression, the female police officer persuaded, "This case is still under investigation, and now Officer Wu is also busy with this matter, and the case has not yet been determined, so you'd better not get involved, otherwise according to Officer Wu's wrong state, maybe you will also be taken away as a suspect for investigation!" ”

Zhuang Xie looked shocked and inexplicable, as if he was persuaded by the female police officer, hesitated for a moment, but still put away the application form, thanked the female police officer and left.

In the eyes of the female police officer, this is actually very normal, and most people will avoid it when they hear about the murder, and this little brother's reaction is also normal.

......

Walking out of the door of the police station, after turning a corner in the alley not far away, Zhuang Xie stopped and looked back at the police station.

At this time, where did he still have the gentle appearance just now, hidden in the eyes under the glasses, and the coldness vaguely revealed was like two people.

Just this morning, he learned from the future Oh Woo-hyuk that the box lunch was also killed by the murderer in the group, which did not match his guess.

The other victim turned out to be a hammer whose real name was Zhang Guangbei.

The problem is that after some investigation of Zhang Guangbei's personal information, Zhuang Xie finally found the common connection point of all the people who had been looking for it all night, and who had searched and summarized all night last night.

Zhang Guangbei's son, Zhang Jiaming.

This familiar name caught Zhuang Xie's eyes.

Zhang Jiaming, a year and a half ago, when Zhuang Xie was still the director of the game department of Netwing, he used to be directly under his subordinates, and he was an employee with first-class programming skills.

But during a game maintenance update, due to negligence in work, there was a very serious role imbalance and BUG after the game update, which seriously hurt the interests of players, and made many loyal players have a lot of emotions, and even was briefly on the top of Weibo hot search.

Follow-up emergency compensation and public relations finally got over this crisis and avoided the boom of withdrawal, but it still lost a lot of users.

As the first person responsible, Zhang Jiaming was dismissed without accident.

Zhuang Xie was the one who gave this order.

According to the investigation, after being dismissed, Zhang Jiaming did not slump and started the road of entrepreneurship, but he was suspected of being deceived by his partner, and he failed to go bankrupt at a very strange speed, and he lost his savings for many years, and he couldn't even pay the rent of the rented house, so he was directly swept out of the house by the landlord.

And Zhu Chaoyang, who seems to have nothing to do with all this, is the landlord who drives people out.

Zhang Jiaming finally seemed to be unable to withstand the successive blows, and then committed suicide by throwing himself into the lake in the early morning of the 14th of last month.

In this way, all the pieces of the puzzle seem to be put together.

The landlord, Zhu Chaoyang, the partner of the business, was a member of the same group as Zhang Jiaming, and Zhuang Xie, who gave the dismissal order.

Intentionally or unintentionally, it constituted various factors for Zhang Jiaming's suicide.

But at the end of this puzzle, the most important piece of the puzzle is missing.

That is, Zhang Guangbei, who has a perfect motive for killing and the ability to commit crimes, died before he did anything to himself.

And another person who is really unrelated, the clay sculpture, is positioned by the future Oh Woo-hyuk as the most likely suspect.

Zhuang Xie looked at the mobile phone in his hand, and on it was a surveillance screenshot sent by Xingmang.

It's very unclear, and you can vaguely see the posture of a woman and an elderly man facing each other.

But I couldn't see the faces of the two at all.

Wu Yuhyuk, a star in the chat group, said that this is the only way for Zhang Guangbei to go home.

He was extremely suspicious that the surveillance screenshot on the picture was the hammer Zhang Guangbei, and the woman in front of him was the last person Zhang Guangbei met, a clay sculpture of Hu Yan.

The motive for the murder was originally the most puzzling point of Starlight.

The two have no grievances or hatreds, and their relationship networks have no intersection at all.

If it is a murder of passion, then the subsequent death of Zhuang Xie seems very unreasonable.

But everything, after the software update, Xingmang Oh Woo-hyuk said to Zhuang Xie that he finally made up the motives.

That is, after the update, this chat group has not only refreshed the game, but more importantly, added a point system.

Points are accumulated through the game, and the group member with the highest points can be promoted to the group owner after meeting the conditions, and the management authority of the exclusive group owner will be opened.

In other words, this magical and weird chat group can be completely owned by one person from now on.

This is a motive that is completely enough to make ambitious people rise into great greed.

Some people will follow the rules and work hard to beat the game to earn points, and naturally there will be people who want to take shortcuts.

After all, rather than competing in the standings, some people may feel that it is quicker to get rid of their competitors.

Clay sculpture Hu Yan, in the eyes of Xingmang Wu Yuhe, it cannot be ruled out that he is such a person.

Motive for killing, enough.
