Chapter 13 The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada
Facing the puzzle solver again, Shi Qianjun did not hide the appreciation in his eyes, because the other party told him that he had found some clues, and such an efficiency made Shi Qianjun have to be impressed.
"Shen Meng is the eldest daughter of your Tianxiang Vice President Shen Chongyang, and she has been studying at the No. 52 Middle School in Sunset City before being recalled, these are the images left by the surveillance device that secretly protects Shen Meng." The puzzle solver stretched out his right hand wearing black gloves from under the black robe, pointed to the image on the display screen in front of the two of them.
Shi Qianjun listened quietly and did not say anything. He knew everything the other party said, and he also knew the agreement between Shen Chongyang and her daughter. He knew that the puzzle solver had come to call him in just to repeat what he already knew.
"I checked all the information related to Tianxiang's important people, and found that you have been normal for a while now, and there is no big suspicion. In the end, I finally found an interesting person in Shen Meng's surveillance video. ”
"Oh? What's the fun way? Shi Qianjun raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but ask. To be able to be described as interesting by the puzzle solver should be quite different.
Under the control of the puzzle solver, the image changes, and the image transforms into the appearance of Luo Fan.
"This young man is Shen Meng's classmate, named Luo Fan, who usually has no outstanding performance in school, and on the surface belongs to a dispensable existence, but I think this young man named Luo Fan seems to have been deliberately concealing his strength."
Seeing that Shi Qianjun didn't mean to interject, but just put on a posture of listening, the puzzle solver continued:
"Let's start with school. Every time he took an exam, he always looked relaxed, and his speed of solving questions was almost constant, no matter how difficult the questions were. In other words, whether he is doing fill-in-the-blank questions, multiple-choice questions, or even answering questions, or even writing essays, the speed at which he writes and answers has never changed significantly. What does this mean? No matter how difficult the problem is, he doesn't need to spend more time than doing a simple question. And the correct rate of those answers is always at an average level. I counted every test he had taken in all subjects in his more than two years of high school, and this Luo Fan would always score a little above the middle level, and the distribution of the wrong questions that caused him to lose his score was also very even. Basically, it is 1 or 2 big questions, 3 to 5 small questions, which appear evenly in different places on the test paper, never get all right, and never make mistakes in a row, including some very difficult questions. So I suspect that it's not that he doesn't have the ability to get a higher score or even first place, it's just that for some reason, he doesn't want to be too showy and get attention from others. The question is, is it necessary for a student to deliberately endure to such an extent? If he was deliberately keeping a low profile, what was his reason for doing so? ”
"Well, it seems a little special." Shi Qianjun nodded, "But the reason for suspicion is not sufficient, are there any other doubts?" ”
"Of course it's more than that." The puzzle solver's voice continued to come from under the black robe, "This Luo Fan also participated in the survival skills training class, which is the kind that is very common in the market. This kind of training course is basically selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and there is almost nothing valuable to teach except for a bunch of common materials on the Internet for students. But if you look at the next few videos......"
The puzzle solver was about to switch the screen, but was stopped by Shi Qianjun waving his hand: "Don't look at it, I believe in your observation and judgment, you just need to tell me the conclusion you have reached." ”
"Okay." The puzzle solver was not hypocritical, and continued to state his reasoning, "There are also surveillance videos in the training class where Luo Fan is located, and I found by looking at these images that he has reservations when conducting various tests, and has never shown his true strength. Moreover, his skill in hiding his strength is very clever, even if an ordinary master encounters it, I am afraid it will be difficult to detect the abnormality. Unfortunately, I happened to know a friend who was proficient in this way, and his name was One-Armed Guest. Through him, I know a little bit about these kinds of techniques. Because of this, I am even more curious about this young man named Luo Fan. So, I found a small problem in his archives......"
Speaking of this, the puzzle solver deliberately paused, and hung Shi Qianjun's appetite with a little wickedness, and when Shi Qianjun showed an inquiring gaze, he continued: "Luo Fan is an orphan who has lived alone since he was 12 years old. And until he was 12 years old, he lived with an adoptive father who picked up rags. I couldn't find any valuable information about the adoptive father, except for one detail......"
Halfway through his sentence, the puzzle solver stopped talking again. Shi Qianjun, who had already aroused a trace of interest, smiled helplessly: One of the four major killers in the dignified dark world, how can he have such a bad problem of selling off?
He couldn't say it, so he had to ask cooperatively: "What details did you find?" ”
The puzzle solver's words continued to come, and there was a bit of pride in his voice, and he didn't know if it was because of his own investigation results, or because he was able to tease the president of Tianxiang Group a little: "Although all the archives do not record those details, by secretly questioning nearby neighbors and the staff of welfare institutions, I finally confirmed that Luo Fan's adoptive father is a disabled person, and he only has one left arm. And Luo Fan's adoptive father died of illness when Luo Fan was 12 years old, that is, six years ago. ”
Shi Qianjun's face, which had always been calm and breezy, finally changed. The gap between rich and poor in today's world has become even greater than before, and no one will remember the little people living at the bottom of society even if they die, and no one will pay attention to a disabled person who died six years ago. However, also six years ago, an important character on Earth suddenly and mysteriously disappeared, and there were all kinds of signs that that most of that person was no longer alive, and that person was also a disabled person.
"He's the adopted son of a one-armed man?"
The puzzle solver nodded slightly: "Theoretically, this is very likely. ”
Shi Qianjun took a light breath, and his expression returned to normal again. He blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "In this way, Xiaomeng has met a very interesting friend." ”
"Do you want me to tempt him?"
"Not for now." Shi Qianjun waved his hand lightly, "It is written on your information that he has signed up for this year's holy police assessment. Whatever secrets he has, let's wait until he comes back alive. ”
The puzzle solver was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "It seems that this assessment is a bit difficult." ”
"Hmph", Shi Qianjun snorted lightly: "In order to compete with me, the three families of Sea Dragon, Earth Emperor and Mountain King have done some tricks behind their backs. They thought I was too busy to take care of myself and didn't notice their little tricks, and they really underestimated me. ”
The puzzle solver suddenly understood in his heart. At that time, Tianxiang Group and the other three were comparable in strength, but later with the expansion of interstellar business, Tianxiang's strength became stronger and stronger, and now it has been faintly able to compete with the United Capital, and the other three consortia that were far away were unwilling, although they did not dare to turn their faces face due to various concerns, but it was inevitable that they would make some small moves behind their backs.
A smile tugged at the corner of the puzzler's mouth hidden behind the mask.
It seems that this year's holy police assessment is a bit interesting.
……
At the same time, at the headquarters of the Hailong Group.
Hailong Group is the second largest consortium on the earth, and although its status is not comparable to that of Tianxiang Group, it is also one of the highest forces that can call the wind and rain on the earth. At this moment, Dong Hailong, president of Hailong Group, was reclining on a tall chair to listen to the report of his subordinates. With the words reported by his subordinates, Dong Hailong's face became more and more gloomy. When his subordinates finished reporting, Dong Hailong fell into deep thought.
"How reliable is the message?" After a long time, Dong Hailong finally spoke.
"More than ninety-five percent."
"Well, that's pretty believable. I really can't imagine that Tianxiang Group can even get such a terrible thing as a beech egg, it seems that I still underestimate Shi Qianjun. However, if you can steal something from Tianxiang, there can never be only one person on the other side, and there must be someone behind you who is secretly supporting. Glancing at his subordinates who were respectfully standing aside and listening to his speech, Dong Hailong said in a cold voice, "Tianxiang's people will never give up easily, keep an eye on them for me, and report to me immediately if they find any traces of that thing." ”
"Yes!" The subordinate replied respectfully.
"The future is an era of the strong and the star pets, and everyone understands this truth, so the sense of urgency is very strong. The water in this matter is very deep, don't act rashly, just keep an eye on it for the time being. The most important thing right now is to arrange the affairs of XH-12, you know? ”
"My subordinates understand!"
"Well, go ahead."
His men bowed and saluted, then turned to leave.
Dong Hailong squinted his eyes, looking at the back of his subordinates leaving, his eyes couldn't help flashing, he didn't know what he was thinking.
……
At the same time, the largest hotel in the city of Sunset, the Heavenly Hotel, was in a luxurious private room.
"Cheers to our cooperation!" Wang Chongshan, chairman of Shanwang Company, looked at each other with a smile and raised the wine glass in his hand.
"It is an honor for a little woman to cooperate with a senior like Uncle Wang." The young woman sitting opposite Wang Chongshan raised her glass to greet her, and the two of them touched their wine glasses in mid-air, making a crisp sound.
At the same time, the wine in the glass was drunk, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Taking the opportunity to pour wine into the cup, Wang Chongshan peeked at the woman opposite: who would have thought that this beautiful and innocent petite girl who looked like a schoolgirl who did not understand the world was unexpectedly Huang Ying, the executive director of Dihuang Group.
Although Huang Ying rarely appears in the business world, her fame is by no means below Shi Qianjun, Dong Hailong and others. She is superb and scheming in the competition in the business world, and has laid a large foundation for the Dihuang Group. Huang Ying is especially good at creating chaos, allowing competitors to kill each other, and then profiting from it, so people give the nickname "Yellow Sparrow", which means "praying mantis catches cicadas, and Yellow Sparrow is behind".
Although she looks like a good girl next door on the outside, her smile is even more pure and lovely, and she looks harmless, but in fact, she doesn't know how much she is calculating in her heart. Wang Chongshan secretly reminded himself that he must be careful, and he must not let himself become the praying mantis in this woman's plan.
"Miss Huang," after thinking about it in his heart, Wang Chongshan put away his smile and spoke cautiously, "Since we have already determined the cooperative relationship, can you please give me an explanation, how sure are you about this plan?" ”
Huang Ying smiled lightly, as if it was not surprising that Wang Chongshan asked this question. After taking a sip of the wine in the glass, she replied with a smile: "Uncle Wang, don't worry, unless Shi Qianjun is willing to give up that thing, and at the same time give up the plan he has worked hard for many years, otherwise, he will definitely fall into this situation that we have carefully laid out for him." ”
"Do you think he would be willing to give up?"
Huang Ying stared at Wang Chongshan with a pair of bright eyes, and said with a smile: "As long as there is a suitable bait, there is no fish that will not be hooked." ”
"So, what kind of bait do you have in place?" Wang Chongshan asked with interest.
Huang Ying smiled mysteriously: "XH-12 planet." ”
"Planet XH-12?" Wang Chongshan was slightly stunned, but after a little thought, he immediately understood what the other party meant, immediately laughed, picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all.
At this moment, Huang Ying's communication bracelet showed that a message had been sent. After checking the information, Huang Ying smiled at Wang Chongshan and said softly, "The fish has been hooked." ”
