Chapter 260: The Snake Swallows the Elephant
30% for option 1, 40% for option 2 and 30% for option 3.
β¦β¦
[Option 2]
[Preliminary investigation]: The thing that can make a lot of money is a female corpse? It simply doesn't make sense. Look at your records and ask people you know if they know anything.
β¦β¦
The young woman said, "Leave it to Zheng Zhuo to decide", because Zheng Zhuo's [subliminal voting] can still work.
It does work, but Zheng Zhuo still has a hard time judging. Because three of the options given are pretty much the same.
But in the end, they were decided.
"Let's investigate first."
He said.
The white sedan drove into the flowing group of cars, and was carried away into the distance by the group of cars. When coming down from the viaduct, the deep hologlasses make a "beep" sound.
The light turns from red to green, indicating that it is full of electricity.
Zheng Zhuo didn't turn it on. He picked it up and tucked it into the inside pocket of his jacket.
It's a living man. Or perhaps, a cyber ghost of a living man. No matter how it is defined, Zheng Zhuo believes that it has a certain ability to analyze and think.
Since they have the ability to analyze and think, they will resort to means that may harm the interests of others in order to achieve their own ends.
Zheng Zhuo didn't plan to use it for the time being. At least not going to use it until he figured it out.
He was afraid that it would "kidnap" itself.
If he suddenly blew up his car or something, he really couldn't stand it.
β¦β¦
Because of the riots of some protesters, there was a traffic jam on the road. When Zheng Zhuo returned to his apartment late at night with two servings of "Abent Delicious" fried rice, it was already late at night.
I have to say, it's really messy here. It was past eleven o'clock in the evening, and there were still many gangster-looking guys spitting fog in the dark corridors.
Zheng Zhuo bypassed them from a distance.
"I'm kind of a company employee, right? The accommodation is so bad......" he whispered, unlocking the lock.
The staff is messy, and the walls of the corridor are also dirty. The lights don't come on, the elevators are rusty everywhere, and the terraces and corridors haven't been cleaned for I don't know how many years.
"Be content. You are clearly overestimating the level of accommodation in this world. β
As soon as Zheng Zhuo entered the room with his front foot, the young woman followed the door with his back foot.
She closed the door.
"I saw my apartment while looking at my holographic glasses. You never imagine what that would look like. β
β¦β¦
Curiosity made Zheng Zhuo finally watch it. It turned out to be a little regrettable for him.
He never thought that people could live so much like animals on a farm. He felt that he had renewed a lower limit of his understanding of people, society and ideology...... He doesn't think that's a good thing.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Zheng Zhuo ate some fried rice to suppress his shock. I have to say that [Level 2 Calming] may still have an effect, at the beginning, he would feel flustered because the young woman was sleeping next to him, and now, the young woman is changing clothes next to him, and he doesn't feel much anymore.
βοΌβ¦β¦ Isn't that a good thing? οΌβ
Zheng Zhuo faintly felt that something was wrong. But he decided to ignore the feeling that something wasn't right.
Deciding to investigate first, he began to examine the records kept in his hologlasses. This time, he was more meticulous than any before.
I checked it from the beginning of the trip.
30 days ago...... 15 days ago......
Zheng Zhuo believes that 15 days ago is a critical point in time. Because he still remembers that when he woke up, he heard the radio saying that "Wilt Fuss, the owner of Fox that was attacked 15 days ago, is dead."
But he didn't find out what happened to him at that point in time.
Company, apartment, two points and one line.
βοΌβ¦β¦ I'm living too monotonous, right? οΌβ
Zheng Zhuo began to pity the owner of this itinerary. Although that's himself.
And this trip from yesterday...... That is, the day before Zheng Zhuo woke up as "Zheng Zhuo", there was a change.
Before this day, Zheng Zhuodu had to work overtime at least until 11 o'clock in the evening. But that day, he left the company at 5 p.m. Records show that he took 2 days of paid leave at this time on the grounds that he was "suddenly unwell" and refused the company's joint medical services with the hospital.
At the same time, he ordered the cold storage item in an expedited manner and went straight there.
A few more hours later, Zheng Zhuo saw his own bank statements spending rapidly. He bought a lot of things...... Including the car's autopilot system and Level 2 components, and went to [Night Street].
Figured out the timing. Zheng Zhuo now knows that his course of action is [leave the company at 5 p.m. (he must have carried a deep corpse at this time)] - [go directly to the cold storage] - [go to Huatian Liquor Land after storage].
But what happened that day in the company building, he still didn't understand.
"Based on what I've seen on the cards...... Deep should have been killed after shooting Wiltforth. That is, he was killed 15 days ago. β
How could the body have been found by itself 2 days ago? Didn't the police take the body away? And why is this corpse valuable?
Zheng Zhuo thought that there would be a wanted warrant for Shen, so he asked the young woman to investigate the news, but there was no gain.
In order to get further information, he thought, he would have to contact the only person who might know......
β¦β¦ Contact the old bear to come out.
β¦β¦
Zheng Zhuo kept checking that information until the sky was dark. After that, he slept all day, and then asked out the old bear at night.
The lights are on.
The smell of tobacco leaves wafts everywhere in the open-air tavern.
The lights are dazzling. The bladeless fan is blowing whirl-la-la.
Zheng Zhuo propped his hand on the table. On his left hand is a dozen cannonballs of beer, and on his right hand are plates of fried meat made from an unknown cooking bag.
And across from him sat a big fat man with a scruffy beard. He wore oversized square-rimmed glasses, tall and strong, and could hold two Zheng Zhuo alone.
"Are you still looking for a co-worker on vacation?"
This person is none other than Lao Xiong. He held up a bottle of beer.
"Cheers."
Zheng Zhuo also raised a bottle and clinked glasses with him.
"Have a drink, please."
"I heard that you made a lot of money, and you won't reply to me...... Just drink beer? β
"Harm. Don't mention it. On the day I called you, I don't know why I drank too much and woke up and I don't remember anything. Zheng Zhuo said.
"Don't remember anything?"
The old bear exaggeratedly shrunk his neck, which he didn't already have.
"I don't remember anything. I called you out just to ask, what happened to me that day? β
"Oh my God, what's wrong with you, how would I know? Hey, can you drink like this? Did you buy some unorthodox reinforcement components privately and burn out your head? The old bear looked Zheng Zhuo up and down with difficulty, "That day...... What happened that day? I want to think about it...... Nothing really happened. I remember that the foreman was busy, and the guy who was in charge of the utility room asked for leave again, so he asked you to go to the utility room of the building to get the printer's cartridges. Unexpectedly, after ten or so minutes, you ran back very nervously, and the cartridge was thrown on the table, saying that you were going to ask for leave and leave early. I got off work at night and wanted to call and ask you what's wrong, or did you tell me what a lot of money is not big. β
"Ahaha."
Zheng Zhuo smiled dryly.
"Hey, I said that you are really, asking for leave at this juncture, and forgetting what you are doing." Old Xiong waved his hand at Zheng Zhuo, "Look at how you explain to the supervisor." He was already busy because he couldn't find the key. You don't have to take a leave of absence. He was so angry that he almost breathed fire! β
"Can't find the key?"
"You can't even forget about that, do you? Mr. Fox, didn't they have a [Paradise Project]? About the superficial work of the simulated personality, let the deity play in his sleep...... Something like that. It's the kind of regular micro-innovation dive game project. The key to each project is only owned by the head of the development department and Mr. Foss, and now that Mr. Fosss is dead, the supervisor has suddenly lost the key authority, and now the whole department is looking for who the key was accidentally transferred to! Before you asked for leave to leave, you were also pulled and searched for holographic glasses, can you forget this? β
"Uh......"
"Hey, you've been on leave for the past two days, and Foss's brother has taken over the company. Even he went out to look for this thing. After all, without the key, the entire project would not be able to continue to be entered and would be completely shut down...... The company's stock has already fallen, and this kind of small project can't be left alone. β
"I see."
Zheng Zhuo took a sip of wine. He already knew it in his heart.
This so-called "key" may have been stolen by Shen. After all, she said that her goal was to shut down the [Paradise Project].
I said I could make a lot of money......
I'm afraid I didn't find out that the "key" was related to Shen, and I plan to sell this secret to the next head of Foss, right?
Zheng Zhuo pondered.
The old bear on the side had already cleaned the dishes on the table and drank several glasses of beer.
"Hey, man, are you leaving? It's almost ten o'clock. β
"You go first. I'll sit down a little longer. β
"Eh, you're still staying up late? You're going to work tomorrow. β
Yes.
He didn't say it, Zheng Zhuo almost forgot about it.
