Chapter 89: Tricky Things
Episode 89 "A tough matter"
In the secret passage of the Apollo Bar, Fu Lin and I didn't talk much.
But my actions were also in his eyes.
With his keen judgment, he should be able to understand that this is a signal.
Signal one is that I have only a superficial relationship with the person in the wheelchair. Since Fu Lin's action this time is not an individual one, I can maintain contact with Shang Hexing to ensure that Fu Lin can achieve internal and external cooperation.
Signal two was that he saw I had installed a signal tracker. He could also use this to control me and further gain the trust of the Vita organization by reporting my behavior.
Simply put, my move was a direct signal of goodwill.
If he is smart, he can cooperate with me; if he is unhappy, he can sell me out.
No matter what, at least I managed to become an undercover agent. In this way, if they really need to find an undercover agent, I can at least save one of the undercover agents or the traitors from death.
Of course, this still requires them to operate properly.
For me, I only need to live two more days to maximize the benefits. Even if there are mistakes in the process, I won't lose money.
At first I thought Miao Lunan was here to clean up the undercover agents.
After all, from the time I left the secret passage to the time I returned to the police station, there were about 12 hours in between.
If Fu Lin wanted to gain trust, he could expose me at any time during these 12 hours and then send someone to kill me and eliminate the undercover agent.
However, I kept thinking in my mind how Fu Lin would tell others about the bad things I had done.
He certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to say directly, "I saw Cui Shi installed a signal device on your wheelchair." Because once this sentence is spoken, it is easy for the person in the wheelchair to doubt - "Why didn't you point it out directly at that time, but waited for the right time to speak? What time are you waiting for?"
Such a move is obviously not a good idea.
Therefore, I think that even if Fu Lin wants to reveal my whereabouts, he must wait for a reasonable time. This timing at least allowed me to stay alive until I could start attacking the Vita base directly.
That is, I can actually control when I will be targeted.
Therefore, when Miao Lunan targeted me, my first reaction was "He came too early." This situation can only happen if——
Either Fu Lin did not do well or was not smart enough;
Either that or the person in Vita's wheelchair had wanted to clean me up a long time ago;
Either they discovered the signaler when they returned;
Or maybe there is something wrong with Miao Lunan.
The first one would violate the rules set for comic protagonists. If Fu Lin had been a highly intelligent character from the beginning, he would have had the leverage to protect himself and show off his abilities, but he was in a hurry to throw out his cards. This would have ruined his character.
Secondly, if Vita wanted to kill me earlier, he could have just insisted on killing me in the secret passage, instead of leaving me hanging around outside.
The third statement echoes the first one. If Fu Lin was a smart man, he would not use the evidence I gave him too early, nor would he let others discover the matter before him. So as long as you stick to the first point, there is no need to go into too much detail about the third point.
Then there is something wrong with Miao Lunan.
When I was confronting him, I was brainstorming in my head: What exactly does Miao Lunan want to do? For what purpose is the department doing this? In what way have I harmed his interests?
Also, the comic title "Orange" is supposed to be interesting.
Simply translating it into "citrus" or "orange" is still a little shallow.
So far, I have not come into contact with anything related to oranges, except for the cocktail "Screwdriver" given by Miao Lunan.
Based on all the information I have obtained, I think Miao Lunan himself is not just a Vita member.
So, I boldly speculated that he was Vita's undercover agent and began to guide him to reveal himself.
However, he was very cautious and was unwilling to reveal any information. He just spoke vaguely and ambiguously.
I'm not in a hurry actually. I'm just trying to buy myself two days of survival and don't want to cause myself any extra trouble. As for what his identity is, I don't care.
I care.
Or maybe what I wanted to do was just to protect my father who was involved in the incident.
I have such a blueprint in my heart.
With Cui Shi's appeal and influence, there is room for maneuver to reduce my father's presence in this incident.
First, the errors in the autopsy report of the Forensic Identification Center must be minimized, and someone must create an image of the Forensic Identification Center's innocence and its active participation in the investigation.
This part allows the system to help me solve the problem.
Second, to prevent my dad or anyone he protects from revealing any clues, I set the system to occasionally monitor the other party appropriately to prevent them from acting rashly. At least they have to hide well until this incident is over. After that, I changed back to my identity and planned carefully what to do.
For example, it is still allowed to recruit people and it is also allowed to make up for one's crimes with meritorious service.
I have seen many novels and TV dramas portrayed this way.
They didn't say that they would convict the characters right away and then force them into a dead end.
Also, even if my father is really guilty and not innocent, and is taken to the police station or put in jail, the worst that can happen is that he will be locked up. I will still try to find time to visit him every month.
My inner feeling towards him will always be "he is my dad".
No matter what he did, even if some people would say that they could never forgive him, or have other excuses, I am willing to atone for my father's sins. I am also willing to work like a slave for them. As long as they don't force my father to death, I will definitely be willing to do anything.
So, I have a plan.
If necessary, I can exchange my life for a promise.
During these two days, my mind was fermenting. I carefully thought about everything I could do, including the people I could use, and also took the worst-case scenario into account.
I wish I had three thousand universes to help me think through all the possibilities.
And afterwards... afterwards I realized that I had made a lot of cognitive errors.
For example, there are some people whom I actually don’t understand at all.
This may be because I don’t want to know, or it may be because I don’t care.
This caused me to have so-called blind spots when calculating the results, and also produced many consequences that I could not reverse.

No matter what, thanks to the prerequisite that "Li Zhi" took the initiative to get close to me, when I was interacting with "Li Zhi", I was actually able to interact with Shang Hexing indirectly.
These two days, while I continued to investigate the case as Cui Shi, I was also finalizing the details of the investigation with Shang Hexing.
Just because Shang Hexing doesn't care about criminal cases doesn't mean he has no sensitivity to them. When he wants to do something, he can still do it very well. When he followed "Li Zhi" to ask for a new autopsy report, he determined that the first fake report was made by Xiaozhuang based on the traces of the software used to make reports in the laboratory.
Shang Hexing didn't want to expose her directly.
If exposing a crime ends the crime, it is a valid act.
If exposing it will only alert the enemy or even make them desperate, then there is no need to rush.
Shang Hexing said: "I have installed monitoring software on her computer and mobile phone."
In this way, all her application usage records and text message records will be in Shang Hexing's hands.
The good news is that I was able to successfully see the assassination order for "Cui Shi" on it.
The bad news is, this is a mass message.
I don't know who will do it to me, or when or where.
But this matter is not enough to become a threat or trouble.
Because we can spread fake news.
"If we release the best time and place to snipe Cui Shi, wouldn't it be possible to reversely control their actions?" ”
Shang Hexing thought my idea was crazy, "How to control it?"
"Well, all we need to do is know how to choose the location for the sniping. We are not fools." I think this is very simple. "Just like drinking hot water when it's cold and eating ice cream when it's hot, if we want to complete the sniping mission simply and easily, this shouldn't be such a difficult problem for the people who are carrying out the mission, right?"
Shang Hexing: “…”
I realized that I had never considered the possibility that the people around me might be stupid.
I asked, "So, you're worried that those who received the notification are actually sniper novices or have no basic knowledge?"
Shang Hexing: "...I'm afraid you'll die too early."
Because I didn't believe that he really cared about me, and I didn't want to expand the topic, so after "oh oh oh", it was over.
Things went just as I imagined.
After successfully destroying a reservoir base, I calculated the time to return to the Forensic Identification Center.
I let the system monitor my dad and Xiaozhuang's movements. As long as they don't do anything during this period of time, I can always provide a backup later.
However, what I didn’t know was that I had miscalculated the time.
Because I was drunk on the first day, I counted the time from the moment I woke up. But in fact, since I changed my body, I have already started counting time.
So I encountered a very difficult problem.
When the car arrived at the Forensic Identification Center, I switched back with "Cui Shi". At that time, the dizziness caused by the change of body made me forget the time. When I woke up, my father and Xiaozhuang were gone.
He Qisi's car slowly stopped downstairs.
By the time I arrived, gunshots had already started.
The first shot missed.
I quickly looked up to lock my position and met the eyes of someone in the window.
When he fired the second shot, I could hardly think of anything and rushed straight towards Cui Shi's position. There was only one sentence at that time, and that was the only sentence that came to my mind.
When people are suffocating, whether physically or mentally, they actually feel like vomiting.
I felt like I had experienced the most disgusting thing in the world, and my internal organs were churning inside me. My body was hot and cold, and I felt dizzy.
At that time, Cui Shi, who pulled me over and stood in front of me, held my head and said something to me before falling to the ground.
“Don’t make the same mistake again this time.”
My consciousness was in a state of confusion, and I wasn't even sure if this sentence was real or just an illusion lingering in my mind.
Soon, I was drowned out by the crying.
