6:40pm.
Zhao Yan was sitting in a grilled fish restaurant called 'Baked Master' in Baida Plaza. Opposite him sat a young man with a short haircut who looked very capable.
The other party is Chen Zhengqi's cousin Xiao Dong. He is twenty-five years old this year, six years older than Zhao Yan and Chen Zhengqi.
Zhao Yan exchanged pleasantries with the other party and found that the other party was a very cheerful and straightforward person, so he stopped beating around the bush and asked what he wanted to ask:
"Brother Xiao, I plan to write a novel recently. The protagonist is a criminal police officer, so I plan to understand some relevant things so that the writing will be more realistic."
This is the excuse Zhao Yan came up with for himself.
It would be strange for him, a college student, to suddenly learn about a murder case and easily arouse suspicion, so he used writing a novel as an excuse.
"Writing a novel? Online writing?"
Xiao Dong laughed when he heard this.
"Hahaha, yes, I want to give it a try. It's relatively free anyway."
Zhao Yan said embarrassedly.
"It's very good, very good. I usually like to read novels. The protagonist you mentioned is a detective. I also like to read them, hahaha."
"Hahahaha, then I'll leave it to Brother Xiao."
"It's okay, just ask."
"..."
So Zhao Yan started asking about a lot of common sense and daily details, and did not ask about the murder case at the beginning.
The two chatted while eating. After chatting for about twenty minutes, Zhao Yancai suddenly asked:
"Brother Xiao, have you ever been involved in any major cases?"
"A major case? I was involved in one some time ago."
Xiao Dong said.
"What is it?"
Zhao Yan looked curious.
"Last month there was a murder case in Sichuan City. Do you know?"
Xiao Dong asked.
Zhao Yan was overjoyed, but on the surface he still shook his head calmly: "I didn't see the news."
Xiao Dong smiled: "The impact is not good. The news will definitely not report it extensively, but you can find it online."
"Oh, brother Xiao, please tell me. I will learn from it and I can write it into the novel in the future."
"The chairman of a large company was exterminated."
"The family was exterminated? So cruel?"
"Yes. Cases of massacre like this rarely happen in the country, not to mention in Sichuan City, so this is indeed the biggest case I have ever been involved in."
"Has the murderer been caught?"
"not yet."
"If the murderer is never caught in this kind of murder case, you will be under a lot of pressure, right?"
"Hey, the pressure was quite high at first, but then the case was no longer under our control."
"Transferred to someone else?"
"Yes, it's given to another department."
Xiao Dong said vaguely.
"Then, why did the murderer want to destroy the family? How big a hatred is this?"
"We initially determined that it was also a vendetta. Then we investigated all the suspects who had conflicts with the chairman and might have motives, but found that none of these people had the possibility of committing the crime on the day of the incident."
"Then the murderer didn't leave any clues at the scene? Didn't the surveillance camera capture any footage?"
Zhao Yan continued to ask, showing a curious look.
"The scene was very clean, and the murderer left no traces. This is actually not bad. What is really amazing is that the other party did not allow any surveillance footage to be captured."
"How did you do it?"
Zhao Yan showed a surprised expression.
Xiao Dong shook his head: "I can't say much more. In short, this case is indeed not simple."
"Then there's no direction? Wouldn't it be impossible to catch the murderer forever?"
"Haha, that's not a big deal. I believe the murderer will be caught sooner or later."
"Brother Xiao, if I want to write about such a case in a novel, and now the case is at a deadlock, which direction should the protagonist go to solve the case? How can I highlight the protagonist's power?"
"Then think about the problem from a different angle and break the stereotype. If your protagonist thinks of something that no one else has thought of, it will be awesome."
"What angle?"
"For example, in this case, since the suspects who have a grudge against the chairman have no possibility of committing the crime, let's check to see if anyone else in his family has offended anyone."
"Hey, this is a good angle. Brother Xiao is amazing!"
Zhao Yan's eyes lit up.
From the beginning of this case, everyone's eyes were naturally focused on Bi Qiuhai, the chairman of Dingtai Group. After all, he had a high social status and great energy. He started from scratch and has offended many people.
But what if the murderer wasn't targeting Bi Qiuhai at all?
This can explain why the security guards have never found the murderer, because they started in the wrong direction.
"Haha, no, this angle was thought of by my master later. Unfortunately, the case had been handed over at that time and we could not continue the investigation."
Xiao Dong smiled.
"That's really a shame."
"..."
The two of them chatted for a while. In order not to arouse suspicion, Zhao Yan did not dwell on the family murder case, but asked about many other cases.
The meal lasted for nearly two hours. When Zhao Yan finally wanted to pay the bill, Xiao Dong stopped him. The other party insisted that he should pay:
"You are still in school, how can I ask you to treat me to a meal? Your brother Xiao is a salaried person, so I will treat you to this meal."
"But......"
"Hey, it's just a small matter. If you want to consult anything in the future, you can always ask me. When your novel is published, remember to let me read it, hahaha."
"Hahaha, okay, thank you, Brother Xiao."
In the end, Xiao Dong bought the order and the two separated.
Zhao Yan looked at the other person's back and felt that Chen Zhengqi, his cousin, was indeed a nice person. Although he was a few years older than him and he was a detective, he had no airs at all and it was quite pleasant to chat with him.
And he got a very important clue from the other party:
Since the suspects who had the motive to kill Bi Qiuhai, the chairman of Dingtai Company, have no possibility of committing the crime, we can check whether other members of Bi Qiuhai's family have offended anyone.
In addition to Bi Qiuhai, the five members of the family who were killed also included his wife, his parents and his son.
Bi Qiuhai's parents are already over eighty years old. It is unlikely that they will offend anyone. The only possibility is that his son offends someone outside.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yan found a milk tea shop nearby, sat down, and searched for information about Bi Qiuhai's son on the Internet.
Bi Qiuhai's son was named Bi Shubin, and he was only 20 years old when he died.
"Sichuan-Shu University?"
Zhao Yan quickly found out that Bi Shubin was a junior student at Sichuan University.
"He's actually still my senior."
Zhao Yan murmured.
He is also from Sichuan University and will be a sophomore when school starts.
Zhao Yan felt more and more that this mission was specially prepared for him by the world of "Gunfire".
He thought for a while and found his roommate Guo Hai on WeChat.
The other party is a cadre of the student union, and he is usually very well-informed. Zhao Yan often has some exchanges with the other party on 'culture and art'. The two of them like the same teacher, so they have a good relationship.
Zhao Yan planned to ask the other party about Bi Shubin:
"Haier, do you know Bi Shubin? He is also from our school, a junior in the computer science department."
Guo Hai quickly replied to the message:
"I know him. He was also in our student union, but he died some time ago."
Zhao Yan was delighted:
"I know, it's a case of extermination."
"Yes, yes, it's so tragic. The whole family died."
"Do you know who Bi Shubin has offended? Or who he has a particularly bad relationship with?"
"What, why do you suddenly care about this?"
"Someone asked me to ask. If you know anything, just tell me."
"How should I put it? Bi Shubin is a second-generation rich man. He is usually very flamboyant. If you want to say who hates him, almost all the men in our student union hate him. But if you want to say that the relationship is particularly bad, then that's okay. No, they are not in the same circle after all."
"If you think about it again, has he had any conflicts with anyone before?"
"I suddenly remembered that he had an incident when he was a freshman, which was quite sensational at the time."
"What's going on?"
"I also heard from other people that he was in love with a senior who was a junior in college at that time, but this senior had a boyfriend, but her boyfriend was studying in college away from home. Later, this matter was revealed by the senior Her boyfriend found out and came to our school from out of town to find her. Bi Shubin was also present at that time. The senior sister broke up with the boy in person, and then the boy got angry and had a fight with Bi Shubin."
"How did it end?"
"Bi Shubin called the police, and the boy was taken to the police station. It is said that he was not only detained for a few days, but also paid a sum of money. In the end, his girlfriend was gone."
"grass!"
"So if you want to say who Bi Shubin has a bigger conflict with, it must be with this boy. But it's not like the other party came and killed Bi Shubin after two years, and also killed Bi Shubin's whole family."
"Well, what's that boy's name? Where is he from? Where did he go to college? Do you know this?"
"How do I know this?"
"Then you can help me find out."
"OK."
"Thank you."
Zhao Yan put down the phone and made up a plot in his mind:
The boy who had his girlfriend stolen by Bi Shubin two years ago held a grudge, but was unable to take revenge. Two years later, he was selected by the world of "Gunfire" and became a player. With powerful power, he chose to take revenge for that year!
So is this a murder caused by pure love for the God of War?
