Chapter 065 Killer Simulator

As soon as Ji Xu finished speaking, even the substitute employee who was cleaning up the mess nearby started to tremble, and the ice on the shovel fell to the ground with a clatter.

He and the young man in the jacket subconsciously looked over and saw the substitute employee who was being watched closed the ice machine in a well-trained manner. The man looked calm and nodded apologetically to the two of them. Then he picked up the broom under the window to clean the bar, adjusted the doorplate to the closed state, and ran to the hall very naturally to tidy up the messy table left by the guests.

There were only two of them left at the bar.

The young man in the motorcycle jacket accused faintly, "You scared him. He's just an ordinary logistics guy. He doesn't have the mentality to face a murderer."

In fact, he was also scared, but as the saying goes, contrast makes a difference. In the series of calm performances of the substitute employee, his blank expression for a moment seemed so normal, at least more normal than Ji Xu's expressionless and intimidating face.

"As for why I'm looking for you, it's actually very simple." The young man in the jacket sorted out his words, and his movements vaguely revealed his resistance to being too close to the 'golf club'. However, early in the morning, the bar was deserted, and Ji Xu was the first killer to come here to catch up with the early morning work. He proved with facts that even the unemployed vagrants wandering in the black area were unwilling to get up in the morning to work overtime.

In this case, even if Ji Xu was a psychopath, he would at least ask, "Have you heard about the Citong Group's promotional meeting tomorrow?"

Season sequence:…

He just heard about it yesterday, does that count?

The industry targeted by this mission hasn't appeared many times, Ji Xu thought in disbelief. It's just a promotional event. Shouldn't there be live broadcast and audience interaction? Why is it everywhere now?

The jacket-wearing young man didn’t mind his subtle silence. He thought that Ji Xu’s silence meant that he knew the answer, so he quickly added, “The weird thing they just developed—I’m sorry, I don’t know what its alias is this time. The Citong Group plans to bring the issue to the publicity conference to interact with the audience.”

"One of my clients requires that the target must die at the hands of this damn thing. Didn't you ask me before if I was keeping an eye on you? Yes. In fact, I'm keeping an eye on everyone who comes here today."

Ji Xu seemed to be thinking about something. He suddenly asked a question that no one expected: "Who do you want to find out killed Fan Nian?"

The young man in the jacket was stunned for a moment, then admitted frankly: "Yes, he was the last person to contact Fan Nian, and I wanted to ask him for some information."

In everyone's eyes, Fan Nian's sudden move to advance the press conference was very strange, and onlookers were complaining. Even if the Citong Group was a large company and the two companies were not on the same track, wouldn't it be enough to postpone it for a few days? But in the eyes of those in the know, this move had a hint of ulterior motives.

Fan Nian's move to convince his own board of directors against all odds added to the speculation. Liujing Company agreed too quickly, as if it was frightened by something, and did not even dare to investigate further, and hastily compressed the release time from two days later to forty minutes later.

However, when the clock struck midnight today, the experts who had rushed in overnight were stopped outside the gate. The audience who entered the live broadcast room were forced to stare at a black screen. Liujing Company was in chaos today. Others united to question angrily, but what they waited for was not a press conference that was ridiculed by everyone, but gray photos released by the official and a sad obituary.

The young man in the motorcycle jacket sorted out his thoughts and said, "Fan Nian's behavior is very strange. I suspect that he knows someone inside the Citong Group and knows the inside story of the announcement, so he is one of my focuses. After he died, I rushed to the scene. There was a pistol thrown on his chest. A man who was watching also happened to find the gun. He did a good job of expressing his shock, and it was obvious that he had rehearsed it for a long time. But he didn't seem to expect to see something unexpected, and subconsciously clenched his fists to hide his anger."

When he said this, the young man in the jacket seemed to remember something funny. He looked at Ji Xu deeply, but the black-haired young man smiled back without any reaction. He reached out and pushed his glasses, motioning for him to continue.

The young man in the jacket had no choice but to continue, "While he was secretly hiding the gun, I used the false evidence of the investigator to interrogate him. He told me with a guilty conscience that this was a new gun he had bought, but he didn't expect the killer to take it away. He did this because he was afraid of being implicated. I could see that he was not lying, and even a fool would know that the murderer was Fan Nian who ambushed outside the window, but he was drinking with his colleagues in the tea room on the 14th floor at the time, so I kindly reminded him that no one said the murderer was the killer, and he was so scared that his face turned pale."

The young man in the jacket could see that although his colleague's actions seemed casual, he had actually considered the consequences. He killed the man and left without hesitation, causing everyone's anger and panic. If there were no clues, the investigators' first reaction would be to investigate who in the company had a grudge against Fan Nian, but the presence of the pistol turned this farce into a provocative letter left by a murderer.

However, the client did not seem to trust the moral standards of his peers, and instead got himself into trouble.

Ji Xu said "Oh" indifferently. Ever since he knew that this farce was just a small disturbance among his subordinates and had nothing to do with the CEO of Ci Tong Group, he became absent-minded.

"I don't care what he thinks." Ji Xu said this, admitting that he was the colleague who killed Fan Nian, but he really didn't care. Whether it was admitting his identity or helping the client deal with the worries, he was counting the time in his mind, waiting for No. 8 to send him the information, and asked: "What do you want, and what are you willing to give for me?"

The young man in the jacket glanced at the golf club on the table, then at Ji Xu. He calmly and secretly explained his actions: "I guess you are short of weapons now." Although this method is bold and unique, it is not necessary unless the person involved has a pressing problem. "That's why I came here to wait for you. This is much faster than looking for people on the forum. As for the information I want, you can pay for it."

Seeing the young man opposite him being indifferent, he suddenly had an idea, remembering Ji Xu's change of mood just now, "—— Citong Group."

Ji Xu stopped tapping his fingers and looked over.

The young man in the jacket felt safe and assured immediately: "What do you want to know? I will be back from the publicity meeting tomorrow and can bring you the information you want, provided that the two are sufficiently equivalent."

Time passes by every second.

After an unknown amount of time, Ji Xu finally looked up and said, "Okay, I want to know where the artificial oasis of the Citong Group is located."

"This is a bit difficult. I checked before. The Citong Group claims that this artificial oasis is the retreat of its CEO. The location has never been exposed. So as for the price difference, you can raise the price as you like when you come back."

He paused, then said in a softer tone, "As for the information you want, when I went to find Fan Nian, he was on the phone with someone, explaining why he wanted to hold the press conference in advance, and Fan Nian told the person on the other end that he would rather join the Super Brain research."

The young man in the jacket took a deep breath, his expression even more eager. Who wouldn't be happy if a small thing that could be done easily brought extra income? Just at this moment, the door of the VIP room opened, and the bartender gestured from a distance that the time was up. He stopped disturbing Ji Xu and said kindly before leaving: "Add a contact number?"

Ji Xu looked at the QR code handed over and fell silent.

You bunch of killers, how come each of you is more lively than the other?

Mistaking Ji Xu's silence for rejection, the young man in the jacket changed the software and clicked on the dark web forum. "Or tell me your code name and I'll chat with you privately. I'll be rushing to other cities to complete missions in a while."

Ji Xu said: "c." Okay, he started saying the letters too.

The young man in the jacket paused typing. He suddenly raised his head, his expression switching between surprise and sudden enlightenment. After a moment, he doubted his life and said, "So you are the famous newcomer today? Your first mission is B-level?! No wonder the administrator came out to welcome you personally. It's no wonder you are short of weapons... No! It's still outrageous. How did you do it?!"

The impact of this incident was so great that he didn't even care about the club on the table.

Ji Xu hesitated for a few seconds. He didn't like to deal with other people's nonsense. However, the young man in the jacket had just accepted his commission. Strictly speaking, the young man in the jacket would be under Ji Xu's attention until the commission was over. This was one of the reasons why Shudong often complained about his territorial awareness.

He evaded the point by saying, "First, you have to be a thief for a few hours."

Young man in jacket: "Then?"

Ji Xu tentatively concluded hesitantly: "Then do a live broadcast, wait for someone to help you start a company and then transfer the position to you, and finally collect money to rob a prison?"

For some reason, every step Ji Xu said was very precise, but one could feel the abrupt transitions. He decided to wait until he got back and look at it himself. The client and the executor could check each other's resume. With some kind of confusion that he couldn't understand at all, he stood up and left.

Ji Xu arrived at the VIP room. The bartender had been waiting near the side door. He didn't know why the substitute had left, and mistakenly thought that the two guests had something important to discuss, so he had to wait at a distance. He didn't get close enough to hear their conversation. When he saw Ji Xu coming in with a sniper rifle, he had a very normal attitude and said directly to the point, "Your car has been driven to the underground garage, you can get off from here."

After the bartender finished speaking, he pushed the window covered with a thick layer of decorative film, only to find that there was no natural sunlight and outdoor scenery inside, but an elevator that was always lit with artificial sunlight.

It has no door, so the only way to get in is by jumping through a half-person-high window. However, it is extremely concealed. By taking advantage of people's misconceptions, even if the bar is later discovered to be a killer's den, investigators' first reaction when looking for a secret door will not be to push the window.

Ji Xu walked in and soon arrived at the underground garage hidden under the bar.
