Chapter 18 The Truth Comes to Light

Xu Zhizhi had no intention of asking Bai Sheng for help, as Bai Sheng had no reason to drag it out any further.

Although he continued to be picky as before and kept finding fault with the actors, things were different now. If he was overly picky for a long time, He Wen would definitely notice something unusual.

This would put him in great danger, because if he were killed, Qin Su would also be in pain.

It's not perfect, but it's just a piece of cake for He Wen.

As for letting the people on the scene restrain He Wen and wait for someone to arrest him?

It is even more outrageous that He Wen is a serial killer. Even if he is an ordinary person, he can kill dozens of people with just one weapon.

What's more, He Wen himself was extremely brutal, and Xu Zhizhi even suspected that he was carrying a weapon.

When the fighting starts, those who are present are ordinary people and will definitely be scared out of their wits, and will probably be like being cut leeks in the hands of the other side.

As for why Qin Suo didn’t send plainclothes officers, they couldn’t get into the crew at all!

Bai Sheng had no money, and the extras were all those people, and there were even various guest appearances by the crew's stagehands, assistant directors, and makeup artists. Xu Zhizhi even played an extra without showing her face.

All of these people are familiar to He Wen. If a few strangers suddenly come, with He Wen's personality, he would probably have seen through everything.

After much thought, she finally had to shoulder everything on her own. After the break, Xu Zhizhi glanced at Xu Yunlai.

Very good, it's you.

Xu Zhizhi took a deep breath and put all her energy into acting. She stopped staring around in a trance and started to concentrate on acting.

In an instant, Xu Zhizhi's expression changed, and both sides were ready.

The makeup on her face was mixed with blood, and her black eyes were filled with a terrifying shadow. She held Jiang Mu tightly with her hands. When she noticed that Jiang Mu wanted to struggle, she immediately raised her hand.

Jiang Mu, played by Fu Nian, had been stabbed in the head by his opponent and was dying with only his last breath left. He was pulled so hard that he vomited blood.

Feeling Jiang Mu's dying breath, Xu Zhizhi smiled wickedly, "What should I do? Your girlfriend seems to have only one breath left!"

She stared at Yu Fengqiao, and Yu Fengqiao stared at Xu Zhizhi.

Almost instantly, he was brought into the play by Xu Zhizhi, with expressions of pain, helplessness, anger, and heartache on his face, and all kinds of emotions erupted in an instant.

"You are trapped. Come to think of it, do you remember how your uncle died? Ah! I forgot. You were hiding in that room at that time. You should still remember it. After all, I dug out your uncle's eyes alive!" Xu Zhizhi had a provocative and extremely happy smile on her face.

She described such a terrifying scene so lightly.

Xu Yunlai has completely put himself into the role of Yu Fengqiao, and his eyes turned bloodshot under Xu Zhizhi's gaze. He struggled to break free from the shackles that bound him like an erupting volcano, wanting to avenge his uncle!

The emotional outburst was so intense that the original shooting schedule was completely lost.

As expected, Bai Sheng called a stop, but he rarely criticized anyone. Instead, he frowned and said, "Pay attention, Xu Yunlai, you have to wait until Xu Zhizhi makes another move to kill Fu Nian before you can break free from the ropes and rush forward."

There was a state of silence at the scene. They were already accustomed to Xu Zhizhi's acting skills, but only then did they realize that Xu Zhizhi had even more perverted acting skills.

The performance was so realistic that many people kept swallowing their saliva and took steps back to escape from Xu Zhizhi's influence.

Xu Zhizhi felt a sense of comfort when she heard the malicious value notification sounds that kept popping up.

After hearing Bai Sheng's words, Xu Yunlai realized that he was too immersed in the role, which disrupted the rhythm of the filming. He nodded and sat on the ground slowly.

Fu Nian's mouth was covered in artificial blood and he made a mocking sound towards Xu Yunlai.

"It's okay, at least you didn't get scolded!"

Xu Yunlai glared at her and said, "Your role doesn't require acting skills right now! I'm not scolded for my good acting skills! The difference is clear!"

The two started to curse each other, but neither of them cared about these things, and it didn't matter whether they offended each other or not.

Bai Sheng looked at it for a while and said, "Continue when you are ready. Don't continue. Finish work early and go home to sleep."

"Okay!" Xu Yunlai nodded.

The props come on stage to rearrange the rope that ties Xu Yunlai. He has a blunt knife in his hand, which he cuts as the plot progresses. Unexpectedly, Xu Yunlai is useless. He is so immersed in the role that he only wants to get rid of Xu Zhizhi in anger. He uses the rope's one end to get away easily.

After the props were dealt with, the two sides started performing again.

Jiang Mu vomited blood again, and looked at Yu Fengqiao, who was tied up tightly and lying face down on the ground, with a look of heartache.

Xu Zhizhi silently apologized in her heart, and then continued, she locked her eyes on Xu Yunlai's performance.

Xu Zhizhi's imitation ability is amazing. The aura of a real perverted murderer is extremely terrifying. Ordinary people dare not face such a person even through the screen.

What's more, this was a real scene. Unlike last time, Xu Yunlai was frightened and didn't follow Xu Zhizhi's lead.

Xu Zhizhi's existence is simply a dimensionality reduction and crushing blow to them.

Not surprisingly, Bai Sheng stopped filming.

He frowned and looked at Xu Yunlai, then looked at He Wen with some annoyance.

"Their scene is indeed difficult. Why don't you explain the scene to him, or ask Xu Zhizhi to be more restrained," He Wen no longer doubted Xu Zhizhi. After all, it was Xu Yunlai who could not follow up. Xu Zhizhi simply acted out her own unique style.

If they had known each other twenty years earlier, they would have definitely committed a case that would have caused a bigger sensation in Jiang City and even the whole country.

Bai Sheng's eyes flickered with emotion, and he stared at Xu Zhizhi for a few seconds, then called Xu Yunlai to come and tell the story.

Xu Yunlai was also very depressed. Today's scene was really difficult to shoot, and Xu Zhizhi's role was too difficult to follow.

It was such a terrifying situation that it was really difficult for him to control his instinctive reaction.

Like a sheep meeting a wolf, the fear of death overcomes everything.

"If you do this... and this again..." Bai Sheng suppressed his emotions and softly explained how to avoid this situation. However, he talked for a long time but nothing constructive was produced. It was a typical example of nonsense literature.

Xu Yunlai was so confused that he could only nod his head to show that he understood. In fact, he didn't understand at all, just like when the teacher asked him if he understood in school, he would just say he understood.

Bai Sheng knew it, but didn't ask.

Then they prepared to start filming again, and as expected, Xu Zhizhi crushed Xu Yunlai.

Xu Yunlai was almost dragging the rope, crawling to Xu Zhizhi, hugging her thighs and crying.

The key is that he can't just say, "You acted too well and too much like me, I can't pass it. Your acting was worse!"

If he had said this, he would have been scolded by the audience and netizens until he shut himself off. In the end, Xu Yunlai had no choice but to swallow the bitter fruit by himself, silently doing NG over and over again.

Perhaps out of consideration for his feelings, or perhaps out of pity for this unlucky child Xu Yunlai, Bai Sheng managed to hold back from scolding him.

It was so tiring that Bai Sheng finally showed mercy and let everyone rest. He also issued an ultimatum, "I don't care how you cooperate, you must pass the next one!"

Xu Zhizhi and the others replied weakly and simply sat down on the ground to rest. Acting was really exhausting.

Of course, it is definitely not tiring to fool around casually.

After Bai Sheng finished speaking, he took He Wen to drink some water, showing his attentiveness.

Xu Zhizhi took out her cell phone, looked at the screen which was still stuck on the conversation from almost an hour ago, sighed, then pressed the power button to turn the screen black with a complicated expression on her face.

Hurry up! We can't wait any longer!

She felt like she was on edge, and the resentful looks from Xu Yunlai and the others were almost piercing through her.

"Buzz"

At this moment, a shocking message appeared.

This was the vibration reminder Xu Zhizhi set to prevent others from knowing that she had news.

Her hand holding the phone trembled with excitement and she quickly opened the screen.

It’s news about Qin Su!

Qin Su: [Ten minutes.]

Ahhhhhh! Xu Zhizhi screamed in her heart!

She was as excited as if she was hoping that five million would fall from the sky, and then five million would really fall from the sky for her.

Ten minutes is just enough to finish this scene!

She typed to indicate that she had received the message, and put the phone into the inside pocket of her clothes, with a complicated look on her face.

The scene in a while is too dramatic. She is acting out the murderer's execution, and the murderer will also be executed outside the play.

Soon Bai Sheng brought He Wen back and filming officially started again.

Xu Zhizhi held the hammer and smiled.

Xu Yunlai seemed to have been tortured into courage by Xu Zhizhi. Since Xu Zhizhi did not hold back, he also insisted on performing.

Then the murderer played by Xu Zhizhi hammered the heroine Jiang Mu half to death with a hammer. Yu Fengqiao broke free from the rope in a frenzy and wrestled with Xu Zhizhi.

The two men kept fighting and tearing each other apart. Yu Fengqiao went crazy and the murderer Wang Ling laughed wildly.

Just then, the shrill sound of sirens rang out.

This is the sound arranged by the crew, and they will shoot additional scenes of police cars rushing over later.

And now, a group of police rushed over, some of them took away the extremely excited Yu Fengqiao, and some of them went to control the suspect Wang Ling who had been beaten and injured.

Wang Ling was lying face down on the ground. She still raised her head and watched Yu Fengqiao provoking him with words.

Yu Fengqiao was so excited that he wanted to rush over and kill Wang Ling, tears and blood dripping from his body.

At this moment, Xu Zhizhi saw Qin Su and three others slowly approaching He Wen.

Everyone was so immersed in this explosive play that they didn't notice that many more people had quietly arrived on the set.

Xu Zhizhi continued to act and was scolded by the police for provoking others, and then forcibly held down by several people.

The camera moves in and Xu Zhizhi's hands are tied behind her back, and the snow-white rose gold bracelet makes a "click" sound.

Five meters away from Xu Zhizhi, He Wen was also pinned to the ground and handcuffed.

Xu Zhizhi looked at the other person and smiled with relief.

Next, she is escorted out of the picture.

Originally Xu Yunlai was unable to get out of the role because he was acting too intensely, but he suddenly came to his senses when he saw Qin Suo being taken out with an arrest warrant and He Wen being handcuffed.

What's going on? They are pretending, but the show is real?

The entire set was filled with rustling sounds because of this episode. They were acting out the scene of catching a murderer, but why was there a real-life arrest scene?

"What are you doing! Why are you arresting me?" He Wen, who was arrested, was obviously still a little confused and shouted loudly.

Unexpectedly, the next second, Qin Xu took out a piece of paper and unfolded it in front of her, "This is the arrest document, take a look, Chen Xu."

After reading out that strange yet familiar name, the person in front of him suddenly stopped and his eyes were fixed on Qin Su.

"Did you find her?" Chen Xu seemed a little surprised, but asked quickly.

Qin Su looked at him indifferently, "So, go and embrace your original destiny."

After he finished speaking, two plainclothes policemen held Chen Xu down and prepared to leave.

Bai Sheng stood aside, his expression calm, even with a hint of relief.

Xu Zhizhi was released, wiped her face and walked over to look at the man named Chen Xu. It was also the first time she heard this man's real name.

The corpse-mutilating murderer who killed others, replaced more than a dozen years of others' lives, and destroyed more than a dozen families was finally caught.

Chen Xu paused when he saw the three people looking at him quietly. Despite the two policemen's forceful pulling, he still turned his head and looked at the person standing there with tears in his eyes.

"Bai Sheng, are you so heartless? I have loved you for ten years, and you treat me like this?" He looked emaciated, with a heart full of sadness for having his sincerity betrayed.

Xu Zhizhi almost vomited. This guy has already been arrested, yet he is still acting like this!

Sure enough, unless a murderer is really sentenced to death, he will still try to escape responsibility.

But they knew it was not their turn to answer, so Qin Su and Xu Zhizhi had no intention of opening their mouths.

The scene was silent. They didn't know what had happened, but they knew the police wouldn't arrest anyone for no reason.

What's more, it seems that Bai Sheng also knows about it, and it was he who did something to cause this person to be arrested.

Moreover, the police called He Wen Chen Xu, and she did not refute it.

The escorting plainclothes detectives also stopped. They knew Bai Sheng through Qin Su's relationship, and it seemed that the two had something to talk about, so they simply stopped and let Bai Sheng speak.

Ever since Chen Xu started speaking, Bai Sheng has been staring at him, never moving his eyes away.

"I did like you before, I even loved you, you were my lover, but everything disappeared the moment I found out you were the murderer. No normal person would fall in love with a murderer, not to mention you, don't you remember? The Qin Jun you killed and boasted about was my friend since childhood, we have known each other for twenty-two years." Bai Sheng's eyes were red, "He and I went to college together, we agreed to realize our dreams of being actors and directors, I wanted to be a movie star, he wanted to be a director, but everything ended the day you killed him."

"You don't remember, or you don't care about what I said at the time. You treat me as a tool to be used and my love as a joke."

"I saw his body with my own eyes. It was so mutilated and horrible. You boasted about digging out Qin Su's eyeballs to intimidate him. I saw Qin holding his eyes and crying bitterly. He was so sad that he fainted."

"How can I forgive a deep blood feud? Besides, I love you for the way you appear."

Bai Sheng stared at Chen Xu, word by word, his eyes filled with tears for himself and all the victims.

In his half-life, he lost his best brother, his illusory love was a joke, the other party was laughing at him all the time from a third-person perspective, he slept in the same bed with his enemy for more than ten years, and was considerate and caring to his enemy.

He is not a jerk and will not continue to play dumb and pretend nothing happened.

What's more, Chen Xu wanted to use him to do evil.

"Chen Xu, you deserve to die! Waiting for the fate you should have accepted sixteen years ago!"

Tears welled up in Bai Sheng's eyes, and he took a few steps back. Qin Su stood between him and Chen Xu, "Take it away."

Xu Zhizhi stood there with her lips pursed, the heavy stone in her heart finally falling to the ground.

Fortunately, the dead are cared for by others, and "love" cannot defeat justice.

Qin Su was walking at the end. After asking someone to question Chen Xu, he stopped and walked to Bai Sheng's side.

"Uncle Bai, thank you." No matter what, he wanted to thank Bai Sheng for his calmness and help.

Bai Sheng shook his head, "No, this is what I should do. This is the only way to be worthy of the Qin army."

Xu Zhizhi smiled slightly, turned around and prepared to call it a day. The rest was not her business! Just when Xu Zhizhi thought she had finished successfully and was about to quickly run to remove her makeup and leave work, and then plan where to go to have some fun and relax, she was called out.

Bai Sheng looked at Xu Zhizhi who was preparing to quietly escape, and then looked at Qin Su, "Don't you think she should be investigated as well?"

Xu Zhizhi: ? ? !

Xu Zhizhi turned around suddenly and glared at Bai Sheng.

"Director Bai! I have helped you so much, and I was the first to discover the murderer. How can you just cross the river and then destroy the bridge!" Xu Zhizhi was stunned, and then quickly accused the other party.

Bai Sheng was also stunned, "You...are not a pervert?"

Xu Zhizhi was completely stunned by these words.

Qin Su quickly reached out and grabbed Bai Sheng, with a look of confusion.

"Uncle Bai! Xu Zhizhi is really not a pervert. She was the one who discovered Chen Xu's identity and cooperated with you. Didn't you notice that she took a long time tonight?" Qin Su looked at Bai Sheng helplessly, and then looked at Xu Zhizhi with an apologetic look.

It was all his fault that he didn't explain it clearly, causing Bai Sheng to misunderstand.

Xu Zhizhi was so angry that her face turned red. "I'm just a good actor, I don't kill people!"

Bai Sheng also reacted, that was indeed the case, he had misunderstood, and thought that Xu Zhizhi was on the verge of a perverted murderous desire. Thinking that he had not made any mistakes, he let Qin Su teach him a lesson to prevent him from becoming the second Chen Xu in the future.

He didn't expect that Xu Zhizhi's acting skills were so good that she deceived him.

"I'm sorry, I was overly suspicious," Bai Sheng apologized solemnly, and also remembered the message from Qin Su that he could get Xu Zhizhi to cooperate.

Xu Zhizhi was speechless. She thought they were sharing what they had today, but unexpectedly they were acting their own roles. "Oh, forget it. Director Bai, just remember that I'm a good person."

When the other members of the crew watched this scene, the emotions that had just exploded in Bai Sheng dissipated, and they became confused as to whether to laugh or cry.

Xu Yunlai and Fu Nian came to Xu Zhizhi's side and said, "It's okay. You did a good thing. We believe you! But your acting is so good that even Director Bai can't tell the truth from the false."

They were all normal people, and they knew what had just happened after a little guessing. Although they were shocked, the police always had evidence to arrest people.

Now they even knew that the other party was the murderer, so naturally there was no doubt. Bai Sheng was a good friend of Qin Jun, and they knew and studied the prototype of this crime drama. So after Bai Sheng's accusation, several leading actors and assistant directors immediately knew that the murderer who was caught was actually the murderer of the serial dismemberment case.

They found out and were shocked, because it seemed that only Bai Sheng and Xu Zhizhi knew about this matter, and no one else was aware of it.

"You've worked hard!" Fu Nian patted Xu Zhizhi's shoulder and said with emotion.

Xu Yunlai nodded, "Yes, it's too hard to play a pervert all the time."

Xu Zhizhi looked at the two of them, lost her temper, and then decided to call it a day!

As for Director Bai, as the financial sponsor, she felt she could forgive him.

Bai Sheng watched Xu Zhizhi and the others leave, pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then asked the assistant director for a red envelope and stuffed some cash into it.

He caught up with Xu Zhizhi and said, "Killing means your character will be sentenced to death, and will be considered dead. Give me a red envelope to get rid of the bad luck."

"Okay! Thank you, director!" Xu Zhizhi took the red envelope neatly and said with a smile.

After doing all this, Bai Sheng asked everyone in the group to keep today's events confidential. After all, this matter has not been completely concluded yet.

Qin Su looked at Bai Sheng as usual and invited him to go home and burn incense for his uncle.

This matter has come to a conclusion.

Bai Sheng nodded, thought of something, and sent a video to Qin Su.

It is a video of the other party in the lounge explaining the play to Xu Zhizhi. He took it using the surveillance camera in the lounge, and it should be able to serve as part of the evidence.

Qin Su reached out and hugged Bai Sheng, saying again: "Thank you, Uncle Bai."

He knew that the relationship between him and that person that lasted for more than ten years, from love to marriage, was not so easy to turn over, but Bai Sheng insisted on justice and insisted on seeking justice for the dead.

This is a personal moral choice, not an obligation, so we need to be grateful.

"Let's go and burn incense and pay our respects. I'll also go back to see He Wen's parents. I will return everything related to He Wen to the couple, and I'll visit them often and take care of them in the future."

He Wen was an only child, and losing her child in old age was a huge blow to both her and her husband.

Xu Zhizhi was thinking, what should she do next now that she has lost her job?

She still has 70,000 or 80,000 yuan in her hands. Why not set up a stall to sell pancakes and take the civil service exam at the same time?

This is one way, but she is reluctant to give up this high-paying job. She feels that she is a typical person who feels tired when doing it, but feels insecure after finishing it.

Holding the red envelope, Xu Zhizhi happily called Fu Nian and Xu Yunlai to go out for a barbecue together.

It was mainly Xu Yunlai. I had deliberately messed with him just now and made him NG so many times.

She felt bad for not inviting anyone to dinner.

Including Lin Yu, there were four of them in the group.

For young people, nothing affects eating and drinking, so they happily went to the barbecue restaurant.

Although Bai Sheng said that the news should not be spread outside, there was no problem for insiders to communicate with each other, so the two funny guys soon started to find out the related gossip about this matter.

For this reason, Xu Zhizhi specially found a partition and sat down for the two of them to eat melon.

The main purpose was to make up for the fact that two people had to accompany her for almost five hours. After all, for her, making her colleagues work four or five hours of overtime was a crime!

After ordering the dishes, looking at the expectant expressions of Lin Yu, Xu Yunlai and Fu Nian, Xu Zhizhi started talking about the audition.

"Qin Su is the captain of the criminal investigation team. After seeing my performance, he thought there was something wrong with me, so he came to find me..." Xu Zhizhi was a lawyer in her previous life. She had no problem with logic and expression. She told me everything that happened during this period.

From suspicion to confirmation, then integration, and finally tracking down the murderer and finding evidence together. They searched for clues together, and Director Bai made great efforts and sacrifices.

Originally, several people came here just to watch the show, and most of them thought it was curious and mysterious, but they didn't expect that so many things happened behind the scenes.

Lin Yu sighed, "No wonder you went out to buy snacks late last night when you were half drunk. I thought you were just going out to get some fresh air, but I didn't expect you to go and act with Director Bai."

"Let's not talk about it anymore. We almost lost all our efforts. Director Bai was just too awesome," Xu Zhizhi sighed.

He then talked about what happened today and apologized to Xu Yunlai and Fu Nian.

The two of them were not the type to care about this matter, and they immediately waved their hands to indicate that it was okay and they didn't take it to heart at all.

Fu Nian is a know-it-all. Suddenly thinking of Bai Sheng, he said with some emotion: "In fact, there are traces of Director Bai's acting skills. I remember that he was in the same class with the popular actor. The actor also said that Director Bai was the undisputed best actor in the class at that time."

"I also remember that the Best Actor once lamented that if Director Bai had not changed his career, he might not have won the Best Actor trophy." Xu Yunlai immediately added.

Lin Yu sighed helplessly, "I didn't expect that there was such a story behind it. If it weren't for that Chen Xu, Director Bai and Qin Su's uncle would probably be invincible in the entertainment industry! Director Bai is fulfilling his deceased friend's dream of changing careers..."

"The real He Wen is the same. I remember Director Bai said that his wife is the only child in her family." Fu Nian held his face with his hands, looking uncomfortable.

If we take a closer look, Chen Xu is an example of a heinous criminal because his viciousness has harmed so many people.

Thinking of this, several people looked serious and the atmosphere was gloomy.

Xu Zhizhi picked up the chopsticks and played with them for a while before saying, "It's okay. Fortunately, the real murderer has been caught. Chen Xu will definitely be sentenced to death for what he did."

After hearing this, a few people were reluctantly happy, but they knew in their hearts that this drama might not be broadcast.

Because it is too mysterious and the development is too dramatic, and Director Bai spent more than ten years with the murderer, the review may be stuck.

Even though this drama is mainly a network crime drama broadcast on an online video platform.

After we finished chatting, the barbecue and beer were served.

After working hard for several hours, only food can make a few people happy.

So as soon as it came up, everyone couldn't wait to start eating.

This movie theater is not big and not very famous, so the barbecue tastes good and the price is moderate. In addition, they are not famous people, so they also served beer and clinked glasses.

"I wish us a bright future and all the best!" Xu Yunlai raised his glass and said.

Xu Zhizhi also raised her glass, "I wish everything goes well, I have found a new job!"

Lin Yu and Fu Nian were similar. The four of them smiled at each other, clinked their glasses and drank their beer.

After eating and drinking for a while, Xu Zhizhi got up and went to the toilet.

The bathroom is the most boring time for humans, when they are focused on everything. Xu Zhizhi suddenly had an idea and clicked on the page of the crime system.

The crime assistance system is divided into two parts: one is to provide crime simulation, and the other is to provide the skills required for crime.

Crime simulator is the tool Xu Zhizhi uses most during this period, and it is also the biggest boost to her acting skills.

Another skill that Xu Zhizhi has never used is his criminal skills.

At that time, she didn't buy it and didn't care at all, because she had no Malice at all, because at that time, a skill required at least 888. Now it's different, she has accumulated 1124 Malice.

People are curious, even if the above describes criminal skills.

The key is that she is already unemployed in the entertainment industry and has to find a job for herself.

Maybe these skills will be useful.

Anatomy? Xu Zhizhi was the first to pass. This thing was not a good thing for her.

Fraud? It would be better to let Qin Su arrest her directly. It is not right to commit a crime.

There were also skills in making dangerous goods or using firearms, etc. Xu Zhizhi saw that everyone rejected them.

Finally, her eyes fell on theft, lock picking and counterfeiting. Lock picking is actually not bad. Although this kind of craftsmanship seems insignificant, it is actually very profitable. Xu Zhizhi remembered that once she forgot to bring her key and asked a master to open the lock. It only took her 30 seconds to take out the tools and open the lock, and she charged her 80 yuan!

She felt very distressed at the time and paid the money with tears in her eyes.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhizhi was very satisfied with this skill and clicked to redeem.

The number 1888 reflected in her pupils, and she felt her breathing stop. This thing was so expensive!

Without her acting career, it is difficult for her to accumulate malicious value on a daily basis. She needs to be truly malicious towards others to gain malicious value.

In other words, for a long period of time, she simply could not accumulate more than 700 Malice Points.

Xu Zhizhi sighed, cleaned up and walked out of the bathroom, absentmindedly clicking on the counterfeit that she didn't care too much about. This thing was more likely to violate the criminal law, and she was not prepared to consider it.

But thinking of a possible surprise, I included it while I was considering it.

1080, the price was just at the bottom line of Xu Zhizhi's malicious value balance. Xu Zhizhi looked at it, gritted her teeth and clicked the blue redemption button.

The next second after she clicked, a black box appeared out of thin air in Xu Zhizhi's hand.

Xu Zhizhi looked at herself in the bathroom mirror, but there was no box.

After thinking about it, Xu Zhizhi clicked to open it.

Instantly, the black box opened and turned into a large amount of smoke, which penetrated into Xu Zhizhi's mind. A large amount of knowledge was instantly imprinted in Xu Zhizhi's mind, and Xu Zhizhi could read it anytime she needed.

This also solved Xu Zhizhi's previous doubts about whether she should learn it by herself or the knowledge should be directly instilled into her.

Xu Zhizhi felt a little dizzy after receiving so much knowledge, and she took a moment to calm down before walking out.

She stayed in the bathroom a little too long, and if she stayed any longer they would think she was drunk in the toilet.

Before sitting back in her seat, Xu Zhizhi saw two middle-aged men with boxes in front of them coming over from the next room and talking about something while sitting together.

Xu Zhizhi didn't care and sat back in her seat.

After sitting down, they suggested playing a card game. Neither Xu Zhizhi nor the original owner were familiar with it, so they just let the three of them play.

Xu Yunlai, Fu Nian and Lin Yu were playing, while Xu Zhizhi was playing with her cell phone.

She hasn't yet discussed the situation with Qin Su, mainly because she wants to know how much error her previous guess was.

Knowing to be Unknown: [How did you find that person's identity information? I'm curious! ]

Qin Suo: [I just found him in the database. He used to be a teacher. He has similar characteristics to the one you analyzed before, but there are some errors in his appearance.]

Knowing to be Unknown: [What about the portrait before that? ]

She had been curious for a long time, wondering under what circumstances one could draw such an ugly face.

Qin Suo: [It is possible that the witness made up stories, had a confused memory, or deliberately vilified the situation. The person who stood by me more than ten years ago probably can't remember it. I was put on the spot because I reported this incident, so I can only make up stories.]

Knowing that you don’t know: [……]

The false physical evidence was misleading, and she guessed that Qin Su was desperate and had tried all kinds of treatment.

Finally, the two chatted about some information about Chen Xu, such as he was a teacher in a public junior high school in the early 20th century. Although his income was not particularly high, it was still quite comfortable, and teachers also had a status in society.

The source of all the distortions was the other person's body. Just as Xu Zhizhi had guessed, the other person had physical defects.

The society at the beginning of the century was relatively closed, and people didn’t even have the habit of seeing a doctor. It was not until he went to the hospital for illness that Chen Xu realized that he only looked like a man, but actually had two reproductive systems.

The key is that both systems are imperfect, which means that he is a monster that is neither male nor female.

In addition, he witnessed his father's domestic violence and his mother's suicide by jumping into a well when he was a child, so it was natural that he became mentally distorted.

Or it was this incident that exposed Chen Xu's twisted mind.

At first he would destroy things, such as flowers, trees, and small animals, but later he began to like killing animals.

Originally, he did it secretly, but was later discovered by the school and was forced to resign.

After losing his job, Chen Xu became even more twisted. Later, when he came to Jiang City, which had just been developed at that time, he completely released the darkness in his character.

That was later known as Chen Xu.

He Wen is someone he met online. He likes He Wen and He Wen is his first love.

Unfortunately, He Wen's parents disagreed. They didn't like the friends you made online in that era.

He Wen had a conflict with them and decided to move out.

Chen Xu was very excited, but at the same time he felt very inferior. He knew that He Wen's family was well-off, so he wondered if he was a rich man, would He Wen choose to forgive him for deceiving her online when she saw him in person for the sake of money.

So He Wen chose to live in the villa area, and the happy family of four took away a lot of money.

He plucked up his courage and made an appointment with He Wen to meet in front of a famous real estate project in Jiang City at that time.

However, the person He Wen likes is the picture downloaded by Chen Xu. The person he likes deliberately creates an image of being elegant, gentle and considerate.

Instead of the man who is about the same height as her, has only pretty looks, and most importantly, deceives her man.

He Wen was so angry that he killed He Wen.

Because they were at a construction site at the time, he simply melted her body into the concrete along with the tools.

Later, Chen Xu felt that he would be found sooner or later, so he found a top plastic surgeon in China to adjust his appearance and move closer to He Wen.

The two of them were already 20% similar, and after minor adjustments they were 60% or 70% similar.

Afterwards, Chen Xu applied for a passport using He Wen's identity and went to study abroad on the other side of the ocean. Then, while slowly adjusting his appearance, he removed his male reproductive system and only retained the female reproductive system.

Then he had a slight breast augmentation and used makeup to hide his appearance, which gradually turned him into He Wen. However, his desire to kill and destroy did not decrease much, so he began to plan a perfect crime.

Qin Suo was able to find He Wen, thanks to God, as the construction site had been left unfinished. He specifically dug for places where people could be hidden, and finally found He Wen's body.

The most important thing is that Chen Xu's fingerprints were found on the murder weapon.

This is strong evidence.

There was other evidence, all in the darkroom of Ho Man's house, including fishing line stained with the victim's blood, a knife that was fluorescent, and so on.

The evidence was overwhelming, and Chen Xu's defense seemed so weak.

The serial murder case involving thirteen victims, which lasted nearly twenty years from the time the first victim was found, was finally solved.

At the end of the conversation, Qin Zhengzhong thanked Xu Zhizhi.

Her understanding of the criminal provided a breakthrough in the case, and she later cooperated with the investigation, bringing the case to a perfect conclusion.

Each party is indispensable, and Xu Zhizhi is the most indispensable party.

Xu Zhizhi accepted it. Don’t be pretentious when doing good things!

Qin Su also wished her a good sleep.

Xu Zhizhi laughed out loud. The other party still remembered that she sent a message in the early morning saying that she had a nightmare!

At this moment, Xu Zhizhi heard a low conversation behind her.

"Can this thing really fool that old man? He is an old collector of antiques..." the man said in a low voice.

Most people naturally couldn't hear it, and neither could Xu Zhizhi. But there was nothing she could do. The partition was made of carved wood, and she and the other person were sitting back to back, so it was difficult not to hear it.

The other man nudged the man who had just spoken and looked around, "Don't tell anyone! This is a cup made by a professional I hired. He hasn't met an opponent in decades, so he must be able to do it!"

"So how much do we bid?" asked the man who spoke first.

The other man held up five fingers. "This number?"

"Five hundred thousand? It's a bit expensive, but worth it!"

"Five million! What are you doing with half a million?"

The first man who spoke took a deep breath and said, "This, this, this, this..."

Xu Zhizhi also took a breath of cold air. Is it so expensive to make a fake antique?

She is just uninformed.

But Xu Zhizhi is not going to care, as it is not certain whether these two people can be deceived!

Thinking of this, Xu Zhizhi continued playing with her phone. Happy Match 3 is so fun!

At this time, someone came from next door. Xu Zhizhi tilted her head and took a look through the small gap in the partition. It was an elderly man with gray hair. He had a kind face and bright eyes, which was out of place in a barbecue restaurant at night.

Xu Zhizhi didn't care. She ate something and continued playing with her phone. A faint ring tone came from the phone.

The other side also progressed to looking at the cup. The old man's assistant stood aside, took out gloves and picked up the cup for the old man to look at carefully.

The old man was fully prepared. He picked up the magnifying glass and began to look at it bit by bit.

Then he carefully touched the cup, a look of satisfaction gradually appearing on his face.

"Tell me the price!" He continued to look, but asked the two people to quote a price.

However, something unexpected happened in an instant. The two men ordered the food and the waiter came over with a dry pot burning alcohol cubes.

It was inevitable that two people would feel cramped sitting in the small booth separated by a partition. The middle-aged man sitting outside had no manners and stretched out his legs because he felt cramped.

The waiter didn't notice the leg that suddenly stretched out and was tripped.

The small pot in his hand broke away from the waiter's hand and went straight to the assistant holding the cup.

The assistant was already nervous, holding the cup and preparing to hide, but he didn't expect that the barbecue shop was narrow and the cup hit the partition next to it and broke. It fell to the ground and the whole cup broke into five pieces.

The small round pot also fell to the ground with a loud noise, but fortunately the boiling food inside did not hit anyone.

The waiter half-knelt down and looked at the sudden scene in front of him, his face as pale as paper, because the thing in the other person's hand looked very expensive.

She only makes 4,500 yuan a month working here, and she probably can't afford the loss even if she sells the cup.

The movement at this table also attracted the attention of the entire store. Xu Zhizhi was paying close attention to this scene. She swiped her phone and took a photo of the scene while the man's feet were still there.

The moment he finished filming, the man took advantage of the waiter half lying on the ground and quickly retracted his feet. Then he stood up and shouted angrily: "How do you do things in your store! Where is your store manager? Get out here! You broke my cup, and my cup is worth five million!"

As soon as these words came out, not only the customers but also the manager came over quickly.

The waitress' eyes were already filled with tears. She couldn't possibly afford something worth five million!

"It was you, the guest, who suddenly stretched out your leg. I tripped and bumped into him, and the cup broke," she said in a soft but firm voice.

The man sneered, "Do you have evidence? You are not saying this because you can't afford to pay!"

"Calm down, sir. There are surveillance cameras in the store, and they should be able to capture what happened!" He didn't dare to throw the five million dollar cup at the waiter or the store.

The man felt guilty, but he continued, "Whether you can take the photo or not has nothing to do with how the customer placed his feet. This is your mistake. You better explain it quickly, or I'll call the police!"

Xu Zhizhi stood up, and Xu Yunlai and the others also stopped playing to watch this scene.

The old man and his assistant were a little confused when they saw this scene.

Xu Zhizhi noticed that the deputy store manager was already monitoring the situation at the bar.

But looking at the other person's expression, Xu Zhizhi knew that the situation was not good.

Sure enough, the deputy store manager trotted over to the store manager and whispered in his ear what had not been photographed.

Originally the responsibility was 50-50, but now it has become all the responsibility, and the store manager's face is as gloomy as water.

"We need to discuss this matter. We need to appraise your cup before we can determine the compensation." The store manager said slowly, "We are a chain store, you can rest assured about this. The waitress will bear the responsibilities she should bear, and the store will not shirk its responsibilities."

The man who stumbled the waiter lifted his sleeves, revealing his tattooed arms, and looked at the old man. "This is the authoritative expert, Mr. Wu Yuwen. He has just looked at it and asked us to make a quote. Our quote is 5 million."

“Although the price is a little high, it’s authentic and worth it,” the old man added, nodding slowly and uncertainly.

The store manager's face turned extremely gloomy. He didn't know exactly who Wu Yuwen was, but he was obviously not an unknown person.

But they couldn't afford the loss at all, and they were just trying to delay the issue and solve it later.

The waiter was so frightened that he couldn't say anything. He was shaking like a sieve and his eyes were filled with despair.

Xu Zhizhi had seen this kind of look many times, from the people killed by Chen Xu, it was an expression of resignation to death. She knew that the other party wanted to pay with his life.

She asked herself whether she could bear to see a girl in her prime go into debt and possibly even commit suicide.

She pursed her lips and stepped out from the partition. "Let me take a look to see if this thing of yours is genuine or a fake."
