Chapter 10 Why not practice singing and dancing instead?
"What kind of infuriating things has Min done in the past?" Mo Shang's lips twitched as he slid his finger across his phone screen. "I just did a search, and Min and Vic are actually the most popular couple in their group..."
Wang Bo patted Mo Shang on the shoulder with an "I understand" expression and said, "It's all business tactics. If you don't believe me, watch this video."
The picture shows a lively autograph session. Min is answering the host's questions with a smile on his face, while Vic is standing next to Min.
At first the atmosphere was normal, but soon even people like Li Xiaogou and Mo Shang who were not sensitive to the male group's palace intrigues could sense the turbulent situation.
Every time after answering a question, Min would always find a way to show her affection to Vic. But when Min leaned closer to Vic, the latter would reflexively move aside, his face gloomy enough to squeeze water out of it.
"I followed the comments and looked at their page, and I realized there's a lot going on here." Wang Bo lowered his voice. "At the time, Min was the most popular member of the group, with Vic firmly at the top. He didn't want to be paired with Min, but he made it too obvious on stage. Because of that live broadcast, the group's fans felt sorry for Min, and his popularity shot up immediately, charging into the top spot."
"Ah... instead of wasting time practicing singing and dancing?" Mo Shang was stunned.
Li Xiaogou suddenly remembered another melon he had eaten.
Before the concert, Vic used the excuse of a recurrence of his back injury to avoid training, and ended up staying in the dormitory to help his girlfriend score points, but was caught by Min.
Min leaned over by the back of the gaming chair and asked for three rows of people. The live camera "happened" to sweep across Vic's mobile phone screen.
The couple ID of Vic and the girl on the settlement interface was exposed.
Min once again became the heartbroken little pitiful thing in the eyes of CP fans.
Vic also lost a lot of fans because of this, and his popularity has been lower than Min's since then.
"Min's tactics of bullying his fans to purify them are truly amazing." Wang Bo curled his lips. "Min is the team bully and scheming guy, and Vic has no druid skills. He even dares to bring a girl with him to his electronic pet. These two should be tied together and thrown into the river!"
Mo Shang asked curiously, "What is the big show Vic is talking about?"
Li Xiaogou frowned: "It's a video."
Although Vic and Min are fighting, they are not the most popular in the group. The most popular person in the group is a guy named Murphy.
Murphy is plain-looking, but he has been at the top of the popularity list since his debut, so naturally he became the object of Vic's jealousy.
"Vic didn't let Murphy off either. The day before yesterday, at a concert at the same venue, he spiked Murphy's drink with laxatives, hoping to make the stunner inflict incontinence in public."
"..." Wang Bo squeezed his finger bones until they cracked, "What a bitch."
"Did he succeed?" Mo Shang asked.
"The laxative dosage was not controlled correctly, so Murphy did not become incontinent in public, but he fell to his knees on the lifting platform in pain during the curtain call."
"The ambulance drove straight in through the side door of the venue," Li Xiaogou stared at Wang Bo with a sarcastic smile, "The emergency room photo generated 30 million in personal endorsement sales."
"Is this a blessing in disguise?"
Mo Shang brought the topic back to the topic: "The big gift that Min prepared is the surveillance footage of Vic drugging me?"
"Yeah." Li Xiaogou's eyes flashed, and he smiled contemptuously. "After being cheated twice in a row, Min has been planning revenge. He hid four pinhole cameras in the locker room and deliberately said in front of Vic that Murphy's endorsement fee was twenty times his."
Mo Shang's pupils suddenly lost focus and he fell into silence again. This time no one disturbed him.
After a while, Mo Shang woke up from his familiar state, and his voice still had a cold metallic texture.
"After releasing the video—"
"The probability of a fan brawl is 98.7%, and the probability of it turning into a stampede within three minutes is 76%."
"That's it!" Wang Bo was delighted. "Xiao Gou, do you know where that video is?"
Li Xiaogou turned around, his slightly drooping black eyes curved up, with a long and narrow arc of light trailing out from the corners of his eyes, like a sated fox.
Being stared at, Wang Bo involuntarily took two steps back, and the hairs on the back of his neck suddenly stood up.
I had the illusion that I was about to be chopped into pieces.
"Your ability is the most powerful among the three of us, so it's up to you to do it next."
The most combative.
It’s up to you.
you.
Wang Bo jumped twice on the spot: "What do you want me to do?"
Li Xiaogou leaned over and whispered.
Wang Bo's pupils trembled: "Can it really work?"
"With your ability, I think it's possible." Li Xiaogou showed his sharp fangs.
Wang Bo puffed out his chest and said, "Okay, then you guys wait for my news."
Watching Wang Bo leave, Mo Shang jokingly asked, "Where did you learn these dirty tricks?"
The two of them huddled backstage in the shadows, hugging the fire hydrant. Li Xiaogou stared at the dust flying under the spotlights. "How do you approach someone whose status and power far surpass yours, and then defeat him with a single blow and kill him?"
"I have been thinking about this topic for more than ten years."
The corners of Mo Shang's mouth suddenly froze, because he knew that Li Xiaogou was serious.
Staring at the fluff on the back of his companion's head, he suddenly realized that the light at the ends of Li Xiaogou's hair was cold.
The back of the stage was the busiest place. Li Xiaogou and Mo Shang stood in the blind spot of everyone's sight, but if they stood there for a long time, people coming and going would definitely notice these two unfamiliar people.
However, soon, the busy crowd had no time to pay attention to them.
The stage producer and the sound engineer were discussing the choreography for the next part, but the noise behind them kept interrupting their train of thought. They turned around impatiently and found that the place behind them was as messy as a hornet's nest that had been punctured.
What's going on?
Following the gazes of these people, the sound engineer's pupils suddenly shrank.
"Oh my God..." The sound engineer knelt on the mixing desk with his legs weak.
They saw that the horizon not far away was covered with black, and dozens of birds were swooping towards them.
"Run, run!"
Someone spilled the coffee in a hurry, and as the aroma spread, flocks of birds came and rained down bird droppings from the sky.
The sound engineer didn't care about anything else and rushed straight into the dressing room.
The bustling backstage was soon deserted.
"Isn't this noise a bit too loud... Is Wang Bo's ability so strong?" Mo Shang glanced at Li Xiaogou. How did he lose when he was so powerful?
Li Xiaogou's eyes widened slightly, his demeanor still lazy. It was hard to tell whether he was serious or joking when he said, "The child just needs a little encouragement to unleash his unlimited potential."
The protagonist at the center of the public opinion whirlpool arrived late. He gave Li Xiaogou and Mo Shang a thumbs up from afar and showed his white teeth.
…
This is the code he insists on.
Li Xiaogou skillfully destroyed the cameras in several corners, and then the few of them walked into the backstage as if they were in an empty space.
"Which computer is the video on? I'll delete it." Mo Shang said, and there was a bang behind him. Looking back, Li Xiaogou had already smashed the computer with the speaker.
Mo Shang: ...
Li Xiaogou:?
Wang Bo finally ran out of energy and collapsed on the ground with three bird feathers still stuck to his head. "This young master is so brave! I can brag about this heroic act forever!"
Mo Shang interrupted his fantasy: "Don't lie down, those people will come back after the bird leaves, we have to leave quickly."
While the two were talking, Li Xiaogou had already wiped off all the fingerprints and other things left behind.
…
Mo Shang: What should I do if I suspect that my teammate was an illegal element in the past?
After confirming that no traces were left, Li Xiaogou and Mo Shang carried Wang Bo to the hot water room temporarily set up by the staff as if he were moving fresh frozen meat.
"Now all we have to do is call the police and have Min arrested, and we'll be done, right?" Wang Bo's head spun rapidly, hitting the water dispenser. "When I ran over here, I saw that Sus was still standing there in a daze. He's still got the nerve to call himself a genius."
"Standing?" Li Xiaogou spun the last word, his fingers hovered above the keyboard, and then slowly retracted.
Mo Shang asked sharply, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Li Xiaogou asked a confusing question: "What is Sus's ability?"
"Why do you care what his powers are right now? If I really want to know, I'll ask my dad after the mission is over!"
Li Xiaogou remained unmoved. Mo Shang guessed what Li Xiaogou was thinking and asked, "You don't know anything at all?"
Wang Bo was instantly cowed by the two men's stares and muttered, "I know a little bit. My dad got drunk one time and grabbed my face and asked me why I didn't have superpowers like Sus. That way, I wouldn't have to fight and could just talk and provide some direction to gain a foothold in the team."
Li Xiaogou and Mo Shang looked at each other.
"Something like a prophecy."
This also explains why Suss insisted on waiting and seeing what happened.
But after guessing Sus's special ability, a bigger problem arose.
Suss's inaction suggests the impending stampede has not changed.
The blue light of the mobile phone reflected Li Xiaogou's cold face.
——They arrested the wrong person. Min is not the murderer.

Behind the light curtain.
Wang Zheng dodged the mocking glances from both sides and shouted, "Don't listen to that brat's nonsense! When I'm drunk, I can only talk about how I beat up Yun Lou when he was still wearing open-crotch pants—"
Yunlou looked at him indifferently - Wang Zheng closed his mouth.
Baili Meng smiled sweetly: "How are you going to deal with this, kids?"
Du Tu was already sprawled on the sofa, half asleep, mumbling in a dreamy voice, "The other teams are either stagnant or using ordinary police methods to investigate. Yunlou, with your rigid nature, you've picked up a tightrope-walking treasure."
Wang Zheng was unconvinced: "I think he has great criminal potential!"
After thinking for a moment, he stiffened his neck and added, "Of course, my son will never be led astray."
*
In the light curtain.
Li Xiaogou sorted out what he saw and heard after entering the system in his mind three times, and finally found the crux of the problem.
——"Who is the mutant?"
"?"
"?"
Mo Shang and Wang Bo slowly widened their eyes, their memories slowly returning, and they remembered the discussion at the beginning of the case.
"A-level mission, involving people with special abilities." This was our previous conclusion.
As his thoughts became clearer, Li Xiaogou's tone became calmer. "Even someone with special abilities would let their guard down when facing a cat alone. But Min and Vic didn't show any signs of being weird. They're not special abilities."
"Could there be someone with special abilities among the audience?" Wang Bo rubbed his hair. "That would be tricky. With so many people here, it's impossible to find out."
Li Xiaogou smiled softly: "I already have a candidate in mind, but I need to eat some melon to confirm it."
"Whose melon are you eating?" Wang Bo asked. "Sus's? He's annoying, sure, but isn't it too despicable to just steal the fruits of his labor?"
Li Xiaogou flicked his forehead and said, "Why would you eat his melon? He might not know what we know."
"I'm going to eat the melon from the lucky bamboo pot in the room."
The cat moved around a lot and didn't eat all the melon. Li Xiaogou clearly remembered that there was a pot of lucky bamboo in the lounge.
It stays quietly in the corner and can't go anywhere. It should know everything that happens in the house, right?
