Chapter 33: Chess Meets Opponents

For the whole night, no, it's not accurate to say this, it should be the time between taking a bath and falling asleep, Mo Ming has been thinking about the modus operandi of "Office Murder".

After Mo Ming finished reading the entire serial novel, he was a little confused. Regarding the motive, the deceased Chairman Chen was a shrewd and cunning person, perhaps this is also the essence of a businessman, such a person is indeed difficult to attract the closeness of his subordinates, as his subordinates are more afraid to say that they hate it, so the motive for committing the crime is a little incomprehensible. What's more, the possible perpetrators in the case, except for Secretary Wu, are not Chairman Chen's subordinates, and there are not many contacts described in the novel, that is to say, this case is not only confused in modus operandi, but also the motive for the crime is puzzling, at least not from the novel.

Speaking of methods, all employees have alibi, Secretary Wu, when Chairman Chen was killed, there was still a considerable distance from the company, and he was on the way to the direction of the company.

Then there is Xiao Zhang, the parking lot manager, who has been on duty, has surveillance to testify, and there is no remote-controlled killing or anything, and his words and deeds are bound by work. This is probably also a kind of pathology and distortion of modern life, people have no free privacy, and Chairman Chen's reluctance to install monitoring is also the reason, Mo Ming sighed inexplicably.

Lao Ma is the same, no matter when, he is on duty at the gate of the office building, and he may leave for a while, but not for too long, otherwise his salary will be deducted. Therefore, the conditions for committing the crime do not exist, but the reason for listing him among the potential criminals is the motive, and Chairman Chen has a very probable nouveau riche character, that is, self-confidence, a kind of self-confidence that comes from devaluing others, in short, this self-confidence is physically uncomfortable, and Lao Ma has also suffered this kind of treatment. So during the shift, it can't be completely ruled out that you desert someone and kill someone, but this possibility is a little unexpected.

Xiao Li, who was on duty in the security room, never left the building, which means that there is no possibility of sniping, and after killing someone, it is quite shocking to be able to calmly discuss with witnesses and call the police.

The most suspicious thing is this Manager Liu, the performance at the time of the record is suspicious, coupled with the frequent business contacts, the motive is absolutely sufficient, and the grievances between businessmen are not too many times to kill each other. But there is still the problem of the modus operandi, Manager Liu's whereabouts are all verifiable, and there are so many people who can prove it in his words, he can't buy them all, and he doesn't worry about doing so. Hire someone to kill? It's also hard to make sense, why do you have to kill people so openly, it's too ostentatious, it's too easy to be suspected. Didn't Officer Ouyang become suspicious of him? Therefore, this Manager Liu is difficult to determine.

Mo Ming prefers novels compared to film and television works and novels, and between the lines of the novels, the sincerity of the original author is revealed, which is what they want to express. After TV or cinema, those disadvantages are obvious, not cautious enough, and it is difficult to be satisfied. This is the reason why Mo Ming likes to watch bad movies and good books, and Mo Ming will not touch the original film and television works that have been changed to this kind of film and television work.

So Mo Ming won't have too much trouble reading the novel. In the same book "Office Murder", Mo Ming did not have difficulty in reading, because it fully conforms to the Ten Commandments of Reasoning, the Twenty Rules, the Nine Propositions, etc., that is, the orthodox ontological reasoning novel, but the difficulty is that this novel has no ending. Although Mo Ming also has the habit of guessing the murderer when reading mystery novels, this is based on the condition that his conjecture will be confirmed or denied, and it is the first time for Mo Ming to guess a story without an ending.

There is no doubt that Mo Ming is at an impasse, thinking that it will only take two days to come up with an answer, and Mo Ming is indeed overestimating himself.

At half past seven on Saturday morning, Mo Ming had already woken up, staring at the ceiling, recalling the picture of Chairman Chen's murder in his mind, "Ah, who is the murderer?"

"Bang", Mo Ming's room door was pushed open, An Xiaofei was wearing a white dress, and the ponytail that was usually tied up was scattered today, the curvature of the tip of the hair was the traces of using a curling iron, and there seemed to be something pink on her lips.

"Huh? Isn't it okay to eat chicken thighs early in the morning?"

Mo Ming's reaction was not too radical at all, he was broken into the room by his cousin or something, and he saw a lot.

So for the cousin who was at the door, Mo Ming only glanced at it slightly.

"What a chicken leg!"

An Xiaofei's cheeks suddenly flushed, crossed her waist, pouted, and pointed her finger at her lips.

"It's lipstick! lipstick!"

"Huh? I thought you had eaten a chicken early in the morning, and there was still oil in the corner of your mouth......

Mo Ming was really surprised, and he was really bold, and he would say anything directly. Of course, the price of saying this kind of thing is that An Xiaofei strode forward with a kind expression, grabbed the corner of the quilt covered by Mo Ming, pulled it hard, and then lifted it whole.

"Hey...... Wait, Phifi, don't be so rude."

Mo Ming hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Yo? So you're a four-cornered faction?"

An Xiaofei stared at Mo Ming directly, with ill-intentioned eyes.

"Anyway, you're a high school student...... No, I'm telling you that! Get out of here!"

"Hey? Don't you forget what you're going to do today?"

"I can't forget this, I'll get up now, okay?"

"Hurry up, I've made breakfast."

"Did you make breakfast?" …… Why don't you go out and eat?"

A woman like An Xiaofei can't even grasp the proportions of water when eating instant noodles, you tell me, you made breakfast? Mo Ming couldn't believe it.

"Hey...... You're rude like this, come down quickly, and if you don't eat it, you'll be done."

An Xiaofei turned around and went downstairs, Mo Ming curled up in the quilt, thinking suspiciously, "What are you doing?"

Really.

"Fei Fei, put more water next time."

Mo Ming used a plastic fork to stir in the instant noodles in a paper bowl, this kid, he really thinks of instant noodles as breakfast. Oh, apologize to my mom all over the world. Besides, you can at least have a bowl to put it nicely, okay? How can you see the part of you that you play independently? It's perfunctory.

"Oh, okay."

An Xiaofei sat opposite Mo Ming, with her hands and chins, watching Mo Ming eat breakfast.

"What are you looking at me for? Won't you eat it?"

Hearing this, An Xiaofei looked incredulous.

"What are you kidding, who can eat this kind of stuff?"

Mo Ming was stunned.

「…… And why are you going to make me breakfast?"

"Just want to practice your hands, it's bad that girls can't cook, right? Guys probably don't like that, do they?"

Mo Ming's good temper towards An Xiaofei is about to run out, this guy is too deceitful.

"Boys don't like girls who make instant noodles for breakfast."

Mo Ming put down his fork with a dissatisfied face.

"Hey! I didn't eat it myself, so I made it for you, what are you dissatisfied with?"

An Xiaofei actually felt wronged.

"Uh...... I was about to ask this, why don't you eat it?"

"Oh, well, we'll make an appointment for breakfast later."

「…… So what are you trying to do with me eating this bowl of unpalatable noodles?"

"I'm afraid you'll eat it when you go later, and I'll be very nerve-wracking, and it will give people the impression that my boyfriend can eat it. I still hope my boyfriend is colder."

An Xiaofei said this kind of thing seriously, and didn't see Mo Ming's complaining eyes at all.

"Hey! You've gone too far."

"It was, do you remember your character?"

The so-called role setting is An Xiaofei's requirement for Mo Ming's boyfriend, first of all, to be tall and handsome, but this is estimated to be a choice, so she can only regretfully skip it.

"Cold, cold, calm, right......

Mo Ming thought about it carefully, in fact, this requirement is super simple, how to do it, Mo Ming is familiar with it, as long as he doesn't speak, it's okay, how much physical strength does this have to save.

"That's basically true, but you also have to pay attention to the fact that you are calm on the outside, but you must be positive on the inside."

Aggressive? Mo Ming was very puzzled, does inner positivity mean that there is a lot of mental activity, then I can do it, and the theater in my brain is amazing. So Mo Ming nodded very clearly.

"I don't mean enthusiasm, it's the kind of positivity that makes it bad."

An Xiaofei hurriedly added, and looked very serious.

"What are the aspects of evil?"

"Of course you cheated him! Aren't you good at that?"

Mo Ming smiled awkwardly, what she was referring to was Mo Ming's ability to make fun of people. Although Mo Ming is not the type to take the initiative to provoke trouble, once others provoke him, he will resist.

Once Mo Ming and An Xiaofei were slandered by a person, An Xiaofei was so anxious that she almost cried, but Mo Ming calmly reasoned out the person's age, job, address, habits, and what he did the night before, and even more absolutely, he also threatened people and said, "I've been watching you." directly scared away the person who slandered the two of them.

"Don't laugh, I don't have the habit of snooping on other people's privacy."

Mo Ming waved his hand, indicating his reluctance. His principle is that when one's own interests are damaged or about to be damaged, it is the right way for people not to offend me, and for me not to offend.

"But...... In this way, we may lose."

An Xiaofei's expression suddenly became a little serious, Mo Ming became a little nervous, it was rare to see his cousin like this.

"Why do you say that?"

"Actually, he is a very arrogant person, he never misses what he thinks, his mind and sense are very sharp, and he likes to play with others."

When An Xiaofei said such words, it seemed to evoke some memories.

"Is that so? When he dated you, he probably hadn't graduated from elementary school yet, right?"

Mo Ming really didn't think that an innocent elementary school student could have such a deep city, even if Mo Ming was in elementary school, he was just able to play games and never lose.

"Yes, I just thought he was smart at the time, but now that I think about it, his cleverness was completely used in the evil way."

An Xiaofei's evaluation of her ex-boyfriend was merciless.

"That's pretty powerful......

Mo Ming didn't know how to answer this, so he prevaricated with a sigh.

"When he broke up when he graduated, he decided that I wouldn't agree, but I just couldn't get used to that, so although I was sad, I still firmly agreed, and I also made it clear that I dumped him and asked him not to be sentimental or anything."

After An Xiaofei finished telling the story seriously, Mo Ming was very confused, ah, it turned out that his cousin's stubbornness had been revealed a long time ago.

"Well...... Well done."

"So, we can't be careless today, and we must not let that person humiliate us. Because, that person is probably an opponent with Brother Mo Ming."
