Infinity Throne

Thirty minutes later.

Litai City, Liangcheng County.

A hot pot restaurant.

Master Ma was holding a handful of hot hot pot ingredients. After carefully cooking it, he placed it in front of Emperor Wang Tian.

Wang Tiandi drooled, rolled up his tongue, buried the whole dog's head in his pocket, and ate loudly.

"I said, Uncle Dog, why do you follow that brat?"

"Follow me, Master Ma, and I guarantee that you will eat well and drink spicy food every day, and you will not have to sleep in the open air. As long as you agree to follow me, I will immediately place an order for a top-grade dog house. You will not be deceived!"

"Hey hey hey, I have a document here. If you stamp it with your paw, it will be treated as a fair deal. When the kid comes back, he won't be able to regret it."

"Anyway, that's what he said. As long as you agree, Uncle Dog, he won't care."

"Hey, do you really think that Master Ma is easy to fool? Tsk, tsk, tsk, you are still too young."

He spent the whole night studying the dog's recipe and the dog's taste, and today he finally made this pot of "dog food" made from leftover hot pot ingredients.

Master Ma smiled sinisterly, planning to take advantage of Emperor Wang Tian's lack of attention, use lightning speed to cover his ears, and use the principle of five lightning whips to suddenly drag the dog's paw over and stamp a paw print on the paper. Master Ma admitted that his approach was a bit of gambling, but who told the boy not to practice martial ethics first?

You're cheating, you're cheating, you're lying to me, an old man who runs a hotpot restaurant! Hum hum!

Um?

Master Ma pulled the dog's leg hard.

Didn't you break it?

It makes no sense!

When Master Ma tried his best to sip the milk and broke the dog's legs hard, Emperor Wang Tiandi had already finished the large bowl of dog food.

A mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he gently moved the plate away and pointed to the ground with his paw.

"Um?"

Master Ma was stunned.

This dog's expressive movements made him unable to recover for a while.

How many words are there under the dog bowl?

When was it written?

Who wrote it?

Master Ma took a closer look.

Suddenly his eyes widened.

Staring wide.

It's so big that a certain fat man can only dream about it but not dare to ask for it in his whole life.

Those three words are clearly...

——"Think beautifully"!

"Fuck ah ah ah ah!"

Master Ma's throat felt sweet.

A surge of energy and blood surged up.

Internal bleeding.

His health suddenly dropped by 0.6%.

This dog... Tewang is such a dog!

You are a real dog!

Master Ma was in a mess in the wind and couldn't recover for a long time. He just squatted in front of the dog plate and stared at the dog.

When passers-by saw this scene, they all cast strange looks.

I don’t know how much time passed.

"Hey, boss, let's have a mandarin duck hot pot! The kind with real meat!"

A familiar voice sounded from not far away from Master Ma, which finally brought Master Ma back to his senses after suffering a critical attack of 100,000 tons.

etc.

This time he felt something was wrong.

What is real meat?

When did Master Ma use meat or fake meat?

Isn’t synthetic protein meat?

Can’t they all be eaten?

Who is spewing blood and spewing blood in broad daylight?

Master Ma was very angry.

He looked up.

I was about to punch the person who said this.

But he didn't expect that the bright sky above his head, the broad daylight he imagined, was actually obscured by a shadow.

The head is not raised high enough.

Lift it higher.

A super plain man who was 1.99 meters tall was looking at Master Ma quietly with a kind smile.

And next to Super Su.

Yi Lin smiled broadly: "Hey, Boss Ma, don't bother you to call the police. I just came back from missing."

Master Ma: "..."

ten minutes later.

With tears in his eyes, Master Ma hung up the sign saying "Today there is good news for the owner, we will be closed for the day".

In fact, he wanted to say that he was "in mourning", but unfortunately he didn't prepare in advance.

It's not appropriate to reorganize it now.

Yi Lin, Li Erpang, Hu Sandao, Su Xiaosu, and Ou Lele were gathered around a small round table.

On the table, a piping hot pot of mandarin duck hot pot is fragrant and very tempting.

Li Erpang was already salivating. He subconsciously patted his slightly flat belly, imagining how much this hot pot meal would increase his fighting power.

Fat is king!

"Don't be anxious, the boss said you're welcome to treat him today," Su Xiaosu said softly, holding Li Erpang's head.

Master Ma, who was serving the dishes, accidentally heard Su Xiaosu's words and almost burst into tears.

When did I say I had a treat?

Yi Lin smiled and added: "Deduct it from my salary."

"I don't plan to pay wages at all!"

Master Ma finally couldn't hold it back and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, which were still bloodshot.

"That's just right!" Yi Lin waved his hand: "If you eat it to death, it's mine!"

"Oh!" Li Erpang shouted happily.

After closing the store.

Hu Sandao picked up a thin piece of beef and was very surprised: "In this era, there are not many conscientious businesses, but the meat was cut into such a large piece. The knife skills are good!"

"Yes, yes!" Li Erpang happily rinsed the chilled hairy belly, he was excited and his technique was extremely skillful.

After serving the food, Boss Ma sat down at the table.

Since he couldn't get his money back anyway, he might as well have a portion himself. Eating more would mean losing less.

The calculations in Boss Ma's mind were rattling.

"Speaking of which, is this a showdown for you kid? I also want to know how long you can endure it."

Master Ma's mouth was filled with food, and his row of yellow teeth was smoking. He was eating and talking, for fear of losing money.

"Haha, I didn't expect to keep it secret for a long time."

Yi Lin shook his head. Ever since he marked Master Ma as "to be determined" on the "list", he had planned to show off his cards. Unexpectedly, he encountered a disappearance incident, so he decided to have a dinner here. It was not a loss.

"and……"

Yi Lin calmly picked up a piece of chrysanthemum, threw it into the pot, and said with a smile: "Since you know through your channels that I am investigating this matter, you dare to take the initiative to report my disappearance to the police. Don't you think so?" Force me to jump out on my own?"

"The result is as you wished."

I, I, I want you to be my sister!

Master Ma choked on a mouthful of chili pepper and coughed desperately, almost choking to death.

"I didn't ask you to bring a group of people to create a scene, did I? Are you here to seek revenge?"

"We haven't had time to make enemies yet, haven't we?"

Yilin's part-time job life during this period, coupled with a little understanding from her previous life, gave her a rough idea of ​​Boss Ma's temperament, and she spoke much more casually.

"Since you know that I specialize in selling information, and you used this method to come to your door, is there something...?"

Boss Ma took a sip of ice water and rubbed it with his index finger.

"Oh? Do you have a clue?"

Yi Lin was a little surprised.

"Hehehe."

Boss Ma smiled mysteriously, with a row of yellow teeth that were very dazzling.

Hu Sandao was very emotional: "I didn't expect that the legendary Master Ma would squat here and open a hotpot restaurant. I still remember that in the trial, Master Ma hid from the beginning to the end and won perfectly. This The desire to survive makes me amazed, huffing, huffing, huffing—"

"Hum hum."

Master Ma hummed softly and hurriedly took a few more bites without bothering to explain.

Apparently, Hu Sandao had contact with Master Ma during a certain trial.

And it was very impressive.

A few people chatted casually.

Li Erpang buried his head in eating without saying a word.

What you eat is what you earn, there is nothing wrong with it.

Su Xiaosu was silently picking up food and wiping sweat for Li Erpang. Seeing this scene in the eyes of others, everyone called her true love in their hearts.

Master Ma, who didn't understand why, said "f*ck".

They didn't talk about anything serious. After all, it was dinner time and it was not suitable.

After one hour.

Eat enough and drink enough.

With tears in his eyes, Master Ma stared dumbfoundedly at the mountain of empty plates piled up beside the table, and his heart was bleeding.

"Beast!"

Yi Lin threw down a pile of dirty dishes and beckoned the others to go upstairs.

"Wait, you don't wash the dishes?"

Yi Lin frowned: "Didn't I resign?"

Master Ma was stunned when he heard this: "When?"

"Oh, did you forget to tell me? Now I'm officially telling you that I'm resigning. As agreed in advance, this meal will be used as salary. You won't lose anyway. I'll lend you a room."

The others were no longer polite and ran upstairs.

When Su Xiaosu stepped onto the stairs, it seemed as if the whole house was trembling slightly.

After everyone else went upstairs.

Yi Lin walked at the end. There was something he had wanted to say to Master Ma for a long time, but he never had the chance to say it.

"When selling someone's information in the future, remember to add the information about parents, aunts, ancestors, godfather, godmother, etc."

When Master Ma heard this, he was so angry that he blurted out: "Are you stupid? I'm in a serious business! What I sell is serious information! You asked me to buy one and get one free... ah no, buy it One for eighteen? Do you think I look like a loser?"

"But if you don't write down the information in detail, there will always be some idiots who think I'm an idiot."

Master Ma didn't understand Yi Lin's words. He suddenly looked at Yi Lin warily: "Wait a minute, I don't think you ever bought information from me. Have you ever been cheated?"

Yi Lin sighed, if you had... uh no, in another "future", you could write down the information about classmate Henry Zhang in more detail, you wouldn't have caused a series of bad things in the future.

But Yi Lin couldn't explain this to Master Ma.

All I can say is: "I have a good friend who has some opinions."

"Go away! I'm not a philanthropist! If you like to buy, buy, but if you don't, I'll pull you down!"

Yi Lin had no choice but to go upstairs as her persuasion failed.

The end.

Yi Lin added: "I removed the bug under the bed. You won't have any objections, right?"

"..."

…

Everyone was full of food and drinks, hiccupping, and huddled in Yi Lin's former dormitory to discuss important matters.

Yi Lin's small dormitory was originally very cramped.

This group of people squeezed in, making Yi Lin feel like she had entered a refugee camp by mistake.

Su Xiaosu sat cross-legged on the bed very aggrievedly, her head almost hitting the ceiling.

Li Erpang lowered his head worriedly and looked at the bed board.

That expression clearly showed that he was afraid that the bed would suddenly collapse. The little fat man has experience with this.

In front of everyone, Yi Lin took out the knife, stabbed it through the bed board, dug out the listening device hidden under the bed board, including the strapper, and threw it to the little fat man.

"What is this? A bug?"

The little fat man squinted his eyes and stared at it for a few seconds. Feeling bored, he put his palms together and smashed the bug to pieces.

Hu Sandao seemed to understand Yi Lin's plan, his expression remained unchanged, and he whispered: "Don't you plan to let that guy get involved?"

"No need for now." Yi Lin smiled slightly: "Now, no need to talk nonsense, let's get down to business."

After Yi Lin finished speaking, Hu Sandao smiled and said, "Isn't it obvious?"

Li Erpang rubbed his face three times from the left to the right.

The bruises have dissipated quite a bit.

"By the way, what are you talking about? What's so obvious?"

Yi Lin looked at Hu Sandao with a smile: "How did you tell?"

Hu Sandao thought for a moment, and then said: "If I said it was a man's intuition, it would probably be difficult to convince the public."

He took out the scalpel out of habit, turned it quickly on his fingertips, and said slowly: "The thing that makes me think the most problematic thing about Officer Cao is probably his eyes. Although he conceals it very well, he should be the same as what he has suffered." It’s related to professional training, but there is fear in his eyes.”

At this point, Hu Sandao squinted his eyes and smiled: "I am familiar with this look. I can see that he is very afraid of us."

This reason made Li Erpang couldn't help but complain in an instant: "As a surgeon, you are very familiar with this kind of fearful eyes. Do you think there is really no problem?"

"No problem." Hu Sandao said matter-of-factly: "I haven't done surgery for many years. Now my scalpel only kills people, not saves them. Is there a problem?"

Li Erpang: "..."

"Sister Su, where are you?" Yi Lin looked at Su Xiaosu again.

Sister Su lowered her head, stared at Li Erpang's little head and thought for a while, then said: "The reason is similar to that of Dr. Hu. But I noticed that he seemed to be relieved when he heard that Sheng Chunrou could not be cured. , he doesn’t seem to hope that we can cure Sheng Chunrou.”

Brother Su, your reason is completely unconvincing!

Who the hell would tremble when they see your figure, okay?

Li Erpang felt another big "fuck" feeling in his heart.

But this time he didn't dare to say it.

After all, that was Brother Su.

Just his fist as big as a clay pot is already full of persuasion, not to mention Brother Su's extraordinary physique.

Li Erpang decided to give up.

"Olele, what about you?"

O'Lele chewed the lollipop, lowered her head and clicked on the tablet randomly, while muttering: "Originally, I didn't find anything wrong at the time. But you all said there was a problem, if I said If there's no problem, doesn't it mean there's something wrong with my IQ? But now...hehe."

"I took a little time to screen all the published lists of missing persons. Although on the surface, it seems that these missing victims have nothing in common regardless of age, gender, social background, or occupation. Point. But I discovered one thing. Among these eighty-four victims, seventy-five of them had money flows with the same psychological counseling agency."

O'Lele showed the tablet. On the screen was a table filled with various data... which he couldn't understand.

Ou Lele chuckled: "Although this little bit of money flow is not a big doubt, but when taken together, it should be regarded as an obvious common point. I think, that one It’s impossible for Officer Cao not to see it. Unless he pretends not to see it.”

"oh?"

Yi Lin quickly grabbed the tablet from Orele's hand.

This is a blind spot that Yi Lin didn't notice.

After all, there are specialties in the art industry, and Ou Lele specializes in this. It is not surprising that he discovered this matter in such a short period of time.

"Dawn Counseling Center?...Dawn?"

After a while.

Hu Sandao and Yi Lin looked at each other and said in unison: "Shuguang!"

The meaning of dawn is no different from dawn.

They were already investigating this organization, and the name "Breaking Dawn" made it clear.

"Am I awesome?"

Ou Lele raised her chin with an expression that said, come and praise me, come and praise me.

Yi Lin gave Orele a thumbs up in cooperation: "Awesome!"

"That is required!"

"While you're at it, check this psychological counseling center. I'll ask for it later."

"OKKK~ Keep it with me, O Lele!" Ou Lele was praised, her expression was like a blooming chrysanthemum, and she happily agreed.

Children are children, easy to fool.

Such an idea silently flashed through the minds of others, but they did not point it out.

Next.

Li Erpang, Su Xiaosu, and Hu Sandao looked at Yi Lin at the same time.

It seems that he wants to hear Yi Lin’s opinion.

"Well..."

Yi Lin smiled mysteriously.

He wanted to show off.

But Su Xiaosu and Li Erpang had clenched their fists at the same time, looking unkind.

Yi Lin was helpless, knowing that she probably wouldn't be able to sell it at this point.

Maybe... I'll get beaten.

So Yi Lin smiled and said: "I went to the Itai City Police Station not long ago to check the surveillance video in front of Sheng Chunrou's house. From September to yesterday, the video was well preserved. In other words, the video in front of Sheng Chunrou's house was very well preserved. , this only entrance has been completely 'under surveillance' from the day Sheng Chunrou disappeared until now."

Li Erpang's expression was slightly stunned. He didn't understand, but he didn't dare to pretend to understand. He could only ask honestly: "Then what? Where can I see any doubts here?"

Yi Lin shook his head and did not despise the little fat man's IQ: "Have you forgotten what we found at Sheng Chunrou's house?"

Fatty Li Er moved his mouth and was about to speak.

But Yi Lin thought about it, fearing that the little fat man would say something he shouldn't have said, so she spoke quickly and held back the lines that Li Erpang had finally thought of.

"Before the little fat man and I sneaked into Sheng Chunrou's house, someone had already visited there."

"But that 'someone' who visited Sheng Chunrou's home did not discover Sheng Chunrou's real secret."

"Because that secret can only be discovered by us who are also 'apostles'. It can be regarded as... a simple expert encryption process."

"I checked Sheng Chunrou's home. The anti-theft facilities on the balcony and windows are very complete. It doesn't look like they have been forcibly broken through. And the only entrance is the door of Sheng Chunrou's home."

"What the police officer surnamed Cao conveyed to me is that from the surveillance video, no one has entered Sheng Chunrou's home through the front door, including the police, since Sheng Chunrou's disappearance."

Li Erpang was furious and stood up angrily: "Fuck! That old boy is so cunning!"

"No rush. It's not that simple."

Yi Lin laughed and said, pressing her palms slightly to signal the little fat man to calm down, and continued: "Of course, this alone is not enough reason for me to doubt him."

"Actually, there are two possibilities. First, there is a highly skilled 'thief' who entered Sheng Chunrou's house without anyone knowing."

"But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't make sense. A thief with such skill would actually visit the home of an ordinary university teacher? And he didn't take away anything valuable? Fatty, you even went through his private wardrobe. I’ve read it several times, you should know best.”

The little fat man did not doubt that he had a car, and nodded subconsciously, with a stern look on his face: "It must be clear! It can't be clearer! No one knows better than me! Please call me Fatty Li Er with fiery eyes!"

suddenly.

Just when Li Erpang finished these words triumphantly, a boundless killing intent surged silently behind his head, head, and behind. Li Erpang felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. His whole body shivered, and his whole body was trembling with fat.

Click.

Su Xiaosu pressed down on Li Erpang's head with a slap, the veins on his fingers were exposed, and Li Erpang's skull was squeezed so hard that it made a cracking sound.

"Private wardrobe?"

Su Xiaosu's face was expressionless.

There was a pause.

Su Xiaosu asked again: "How many times?"

Click click click.

There was a clear sound of fracture from Li Erpang's skull.

Li Erpang did not look back.

It’s not that I don’t dare.

But can't.

Su Xiaosu held his head tightly, unable to move at all.

"Brother Su, Su, Su, ah...Sister Su, you would rather listen, listen, listen to my explanation."

Li Erpang stammered, trying to fight to the death.

Su Xiaosu looked apologetic and smiled softly at the others: "Sorry, Er Fatty and I went out to get some fresh air."

Finished.

Regardless of other people's reactions, Su Xiaosu dragged the snarling Erpang classmate out of the room.

In an instant, the small room became a lot more spacious.

O'Lele held her lollipop in her mouth and said vaguely, "A moment of silence."

Hu Sandao nodded: "I hope everything is fine."

Yi Lin smiled and continued: "It's not important. Let's continue the discussion."

This little incident was not taken seriously by the remaining three people.

After all, beating is love, and scolding is love. If Su Xiaosu can beat Li Erpang to death, it means that she loves her so deeply that she can fight to the death.

Ou Lele suddenly felt a little envious of this pure love.

Ah, real name envy, but I, Orele, don’t want it.

After the room emptied, Yi Rin continued to talk about the blind spots he discovered.

I saw Yi Lin's expression was calm, without any embarrassment because he had just cheated the little fat man.

As long as he doesn't feel embarrassed, then others will be embarrassed.

Where were you talking about?

Oh, thief.

"Then the second possibility is that the 'someone' who sneaked into Sheng Chunrou's house is also an apostle."

"But here comes another problem. If it's an apostle, unless he has a low IQ, it shouldn't be difficult to discover the secrets in Sheng Chunrou's computer. Even if 'he' doesn't have the rich experience of the little fat man, he can detect the change of the file suffix name , find out the true identity of that file, and at least we won’t let that special file stay.”

"Ah this?" Ou Lele asked casually while tinkering with the tablet: "You haven't said what secrets are in Sheng Chunrou's computer?"

"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that Sheng Chunrou left a video and said the name 'Shuguang Sect'." Yi Lin didn't blush and her heart didn't beat. This sentence sounded as if it was true.

Hu Sandao was thoughtful.

Ou Lele has no doubt that he is there.

I feel sorry for you, Erpang.

Who told you to have a big mouth?

Yi Lin quickly continued: "To sum up, if there is something unreasonable about the above two possibilities, then naturally, I thought of the third possibility."

"There may have been a problem somewhere along the way."

"So I carefully recalled all the videos and found that on December 7th, shortly after Sheng Chunrou was picked up from the river, in the short period of one minute from '3:40' to '3:41' in the morning The time is wrong. The image was shortened by about forty-two seconds."

"In other words, it's been edited here."

"What Cao Anbang got from the community surveillance is first-hand information. If the infiltrator was someone else, it would be impossible to go to great lengths to process the forty-two seconds of video and then put it back intact. If it were done differently It’s me, I will completely destroy the videos of these three months, so that there is no way to investigate them and it will be more trouble-free.”

"So, the infiltrator must have sneaked into Sheng Chunrou's home within these forty-two seconds. And the AI ​​butler at Sheng Chunrou's home, like most apostles, does not bring video or audio recordings, so as not to have to worry about it at home. I was caught in the act when I was doing something.”

This principle is actually the same as that most driving recorders only record video and not sound.

——Avoid cheating yourself.

Yi Lin recalled that when he accidentally pressed "pause" that day in the police station, something was wrong with Cao Anbang's expression.

Now that all the clues are connected, everything can be explained.

there is only one truth.

"The murderer... uh no, Cao Anbang, there is a problem!"
