That day was not long after his old enemy "Gu Wuchang" Gu Chang came out of prison.

At this time, Gu Chang had just finished his sentence in prison, lost his job, had no chance of normal retirement, and his reputation was in ruins.

But after all, he is a member of the Gu family, which is attached to the Ai family. Even if he loses these things, his family wealth is still very strong.

He decided to put aside all grievances and live out his old age in peace, so he bought a small island on the East Qingmang Sea and built a villa on the island.

August 20, 2021 is his sixtieth birthday.

He didn't invite many guests. Apart from a pair of children, he only had a few old friends he often interacted with at work.

But among the invited guests was Fan Bu, an old enemy. What's even more amazing is that Fan Bu went there happily.

It is said that Gu Chang's only purpose in going to Boss Fan for the farewell banquet was to ask him why no evidence could be found for his insider trading.

He said:

"I have handled many cases, but none of them has been as strange as yours.

"I know you have done a lot of insider trading, but I just can't find any evidence of any of it.

"You drove me crazy. In order to send you to jail and receive the punishment you deserve, I went crazy and had to fabricate evidence. Instead, I ended up in jail.

"Now I'm not a prosecutor, and you don't do that anymore. Can you tell me how you managed to hide this from me?

"Don't worry, I won't report you. Even if I do, with my criminal record, it's impossible for the judge not to believe me, right?"

No one knows what Boss Fan said to the former prosecutor.

No matter what he said, Gu Chang would not reveal even a little bit. This is his shame, and he will take it to his grave.

What's really bad is that that night, everyone in Gu Chang's villa died except Fan Bu who was still alive!

The dead include Gu Chang's two children, Gu Rong and Gu Li, judge Zeng Gu, Xingdiao Xu Ying, plus Gu Chang, his chef and servants, a total of seven people.

Coincidentally, Judge Zeng Gu, Criminal Investigative Officer Xu Ying, and Prosecutor Gu Chang are the three most critical people in handling Boss Fan's insider trading case.

Fan Bu killed all three of them overnight, avenging his three-year detention, and also wiped out the whole family of "Gu Wuchang".

This was the most sensational murder case that occurred in Wutong City at that time. Even Meng Fei had heard about it on the news at that time.

Isn't Fan Bu's behavior a bit too cruel and brainless? You must know that there were only eight people on the entire island including him at that time. All seven other people were murdered, so who was the murderer if not him?

It is said that the ships on the island were being repaired at the time and were unable to go to sea. Moreover, electromagnetic interference equipment was installed on the island, causing communication interruption.

The electromagnetic interference equipment was confirmed to have been purchased in Fanbu. There is a record of his order on an online shopping platform, and the delivery address is also his home.

The next day, a cargo ship from a courier company came to the island to deliver goods. They found that everyone in the villa on the island was dead, so they quickly called the police.

Investigators searched the entire island and captured video footage from public areas of the pier. It was discovered that only one of the guests on the island was missing.

The missing person is Fan Bu, who is the most suspected. And all the evidence shows without a doubt that Fan Bu is the murderer.

The fingerprints on the murder weapon, the skin scraps and hair left at the scene, and the footprints all matched his. Meng Fei had never seen such a hard-hitting case.

The criminal investigators immediately wanted this person, and found that Boss Fan was lying openly in the VR sleeping cabin at his home, playing a killing game.

After being awakened, Boss Fan even said something astonishing. He denied that he had ever gone out. He said that he had been playing killing games at home and was very high.

He acted as a killer in a killing game that targeted several of his enemies, killing them all in one fell swoop.

After successfully advancing, he has become a supreme member player of the Cheetah Club, the world's top high-end killing game club.

You must know that there are only a dozen or so supreme-level players in this club in the world.

The interrogation officer asked him to describe the killing process in detail. Boss Fan described it honestly.

As a result, the process he described closely matched the mass murder case that killed seven people in Gu Chang's villa on Dujuan Island.

At this point, the investigating officer in charge of the case immediately put handcuffs on him as a matter of course.

By retrieving camera footage from public areas on the road, dock parking garages, etc., as well as ticket records from the dock, it was confirmed that Fan Bu's statement of "having been playing murder games in the sleeping cabin" was a lie.

According to him, he lay in the sleeping cabin from 3 pm on August 20 to 9 am on August 21 and never left.

However, according to the records extracted from the Cheetah Killing Game platform, he entered the sleeping cabin and logged into the game at three o'clock in the afternoon, but exited before entering the game room.

At 3:15, he had already appeared in his car on Truffle Street, very close to his home, and was captured by the street surveillance camera. After that, he went straight to Wusong Pier.

When he arrived at the dock, he parked his car in the garage and boarded the ferry. Ferry tickets purchased online are also part of the chain of evidence.

At seven o'clock the next morning, he appeared in the camera footage at the exit of the dock garage in his car again, neatly dressed.

At eight o'clock in the morning, he drove back to Truffle Street again until he entered his garage and disappeared.

At about 8:11, he logged into the Cheetah Killing Game platform again and played until the criminals rushed in.

His "Cheetah V-shaped Immersive Sleeping Cabin Supreme Edition" was completely taken away and sent to the Cheetah Club for technical analysis.

The record results analyzed are no different from the records in the Cheetah platform background. They both logged in twice, with a blank space in between.

This does not include his fingerprints on the murder weapon found in the Dujuan Island villa, the skin scraps and hair left at the scene, the Dujuan Island soil on the wheels of his house, and even shoes with blood stains on the deceased were found in his house.

With such an unshakable chain of evidence, is this guy still pretending to be crazy?

But Fan Bu firmly believed that the real-life case had nothing to do with him, and that he was really just playing an online killing game.

All the people who were killed, whether they were former prosecutor Gu Chang, criminal investigation officer Xu Ying, or others, were either just other players' accounts in the game, or just NPCs.

The character he drew in the game was the killer. So by killing all the other characters, he can advance through the level. What the hell does this have to do with crime?

So why should he be handcuffed and why should he be put in jail?

In his self-report, he once wondered whether this new prison incident happened in reality, or was it a follow-up plot in the killing game?

In other words, not only does he have to complete the murder mission, but he also has to escape the sanctions of the law before he can truly pass the level?
