Instance game: I signed a pact with the gods, and the gods accused me of cheating

Qin Shang could only purse his lips and reveal an indescribable expression of embarrassment.

During the meal, because there were one and a half Yanjing locals on the bus, the task of finding a place to eat fell on Zheng Gongwei and Xu Mingyang.

As for why he is half a native of Yanjing?

A free man, he is from Yanjing F4, so naturally he is a local.

As for the other one, it is Xu Mingyang. Like Qin Shang, Old Xu was born in Jizhou City.

But after graduating from university, Lao Xu was assigned to Yenching University.

I have been working in the system for more than three years now.

So Old Xu can be considered half a Yanjing person.

While they were eating, the task of finding a restaurant naturally fell on them.

Young Master Zheng was a real atmosphere creator. Qin Shang was worried at first, fearing that Young Master Zheng would accidentally tell Xu Mingyang about the "God Road" players.

As a result, Qin Shang found that he was completely worrying too much.

During the entire meal, Mr. Zheng hardly talked about work, let alone his identity as a Shenlu player.

He drank some wine and got drunk. He went crazy and pulled the other three people to play dice and drink.

He is a bar owner after all, and he is proficient in all kinds of drinking and table games...

Qin Shang was still in a better condition and could barely hold on.

It's not that he can drink a lot, but that he drinks little. However, honest men Xu Mingyang and Wanyan Xiaowen are in trouble.

They lost almost all the games, and the key point was that Xu Mingyang was a bit chauvinistic.

Every time when Xiaowen wanted to drink, Xu Mingyang was afraid that the two of them would make his new girlfriend drink too much.

So he tried his best to help block the wine, and Qin Shang's eyes were almost rolled to the sky.

Moreover, Xu Mingyang also called it beautifully;

"We drove here. As sheriffs, we must abide by the law. We can't drink and drive, right? We must leave one person sober..."

Thus, a very interesting scene appeared.

Obviously Qin Shang was deliberately trying to chat with Xu Mingyang and try to avoid their drinking games. However, Xu Mingyang, who obviously did not participate in the game, would always pick up the cup with a wry smile, accompanied by Master Zheng's hearty "Cheers!" after Xiaowen lost...

Although Qin Shang was curious about the relationship between Wanyan Xiaowen and Xu Mingyang, he could only worry throughout the entire dinner. He finally caught a chance when Master Zheng went to the toilet, and Qin Shang immediately grabbed Xu Mingyang, who was a little drunk.

"I was a bit busy during the day, so I didn't ask too many questions. Are you in charge of the 4.11 Xingfuli Community case now?"

"Didn't you say the case was closed? Why are you suddenly investigating the case together again in two different jurisdictions?"

The reason why Qin Shang asked Xu Mingyang to come to see him at night was actually related to this case.

He is not so idle that he would meddle in his brother's love life like an old lady.

It was simply because of Wanyan Xiaowen. This person's appearance was a bit too coincidental...

Especially considering that Xu Mingyang happened to be the person in charge of this case, and the two of them also knew each other because of the case.

Qin Shang didn't want to think too much, but he had to think too much.

"There have been similar cases in the North Shore area before, and then it just so happens that a similar case happened here, both times someone fell from a building accidentally in the corresponding area, so we suspected that it might be a roving crime."

"The murderer used a special method to target young, single women living alone."

"In the North Shore area, it was...hiccup~"

Just as Xu Mingyang was about to get to the key point, halfway through his words, Old Xu suddenly burped.

At this moment, Zheng Gongwei, who had just returned from the toilet, spoke again;

"Old Xu, it's your turn to drink. Your girlfriend lost again!"

"Old Qin, do you want to try a few moves? Or Old Xu, do you want to join in?"

Mr. Zheng is really humble. He adheres to the principle that meeting is fate. He believes that if several people can sit at the same table to eat and drink, they are already friends.

There is no barrier in the name at all.

When the four people were on the road, Master Zheng was the one who talked the most.

By the time they sat down, Master Zheng had already become the well-deserved atmosphere creator among the four.

No matter how cold the atmosphere was, Master Zheng could always find a topic to get everyone excited.

The corners of Qin Shang's mouth twitched. If it weren't for the fact that Master Zheng was his boss, he really wanted to kick him out.

Are you blind...

Didn’t you see we were talking about business?

Qin Shang took a deep breath and waved his hand to refuse, but Xu Mingyang on the opposite side had already picked up the wine glass and took another sip.

It can be seen that Old Xu can't drink much.

He drank the most during the half hour he sat down. At this moment, his dark face was covered with sweat and flushed.

It is not easy to make a person with dark skin look red on his face.

It is conceivable how much Xu Mingyang drank in just half an hour...

"Boss, Ms. Xiaowen is a girl, can't you just give her some space?"

Qin Shang took a look at Xiaowen, who always lost and basically never won no matter what game she played, and complained.

Hearing this, Master Zheng spread his hands innocently;

"No, it's not my fault. I saw that she kept losing when we played Floating Clover, Blackjack, and Bragging, so I just picked the easiest one and we played Big or Small."

"It was just a simple comparison of which of the three dice was bigger and which was smaller... She rolled three ones and actually dared to open the match with me. Can you believe this?"

When comparing the size of dice, the number of dice varies according to the different playing methods and customs in different places.

There are slight differences in the basics, but the core gameplay is not much different.

Qin Shang and his friends were playing with three dice today. Even those who didn’t know how to play the game knew that three ones were very small numbers, right?

Xiaowen shook out three of them herself, and she still dared to open the door to Master Zheng?

Qin Shang's eyes widened and a guess flashed through his mind.

Either he is a complete novice at the drinking table and has never been exposed to any drinking table games, or he is doing it purely on purpose.

He was more inclined to the latter. After all, this woman had appeared in the base of "Skull" four years ago.

At this moment, Wanyan Xiaowen seemed to have read Qin Shang's thoughts and immediately pursed her red lips;

"Oh, I did have a six, but when I opened the sieve just now, I accidentally bumped the dice, and the six turned into a one."

"I really didn't mean it..."

Qin Shang glanced at her and was completely silent. This woman...

My sixth sense turned out to be accurate, something was wrong with her!

How can there be a gambler who loses every day, or a child who cries every day?

Is there anyone who... has never won a drinking game?

Even if Master Zheng is a master at the drinking table, as a girl, could it be that she has forgotten her nature and the skill of not being able to drink?

He was too lazy to pay attention to Wanyan Xiaowen, and his eyes fell on Xu Mingyang again.

"Go on, what cases are being investigated together?"

Xu Mingyang was never on guard against Qin Shang. He spat out his tongue which was a little hot from the spicy liquor, and then spoke haltingly;

"Do you remember when we last met, I told you about your mother's case? Well, this matter..."

Xu Mingyang has started to have a lisp and speaks slowly.

Before Qin Shang could complain about his slowness, Wanyan Xiaowen beside him suddenly pulled up a strand of her hair and looked at Qin Shang with a smile;

"It's quite complicated. It involves the case of economic investigation. We are investigating the case together. It just so happens that a similar case has occurred in the North Shore District, and it is also related to the major economic investigation case we are investigating."

"There was a suspect we had previously identified who happened to be a key person who had laundered money for the overseas organization 'Skull'. He is dead..."

"The way she died was exactly the same as Zhang Xiaofen who fell from a building in Xingfuli. She also fell from a corner that was not captured by the surveillance camera in the corridor."

"The strangest thing is that both cases were closed very quickly after the initial investigation, but afterwards the Sheriff's Office could not find any relevant files related to the case closures. For example, all the surveillance footage from other places in the community at the time of the incident was gone."

"Almost all surveillance footage related to the suspect has no trace at all. The timing of the failure is just right, just like..."

A voice that was a bit higher in volume and sounded a bit cold and stern suddenly sounded.

"Someone deliberately deleted these contents behind the scenes, as if they wanted to quickly suppress the case."

Qin Shang said this last sentence with his eyes narrowed.

But Qin Shang regretted it after saying this.

Damn, this woman Wanyan Xiaowen has some problems herself.

Wouldn't it be embarrassing for me if I interrupted now?

As expected, as soon as these words were spoken, Wanyan Xiaowen suddenly put down her hands that were playing dice with Zheng Gongwei, looked at Qin Shang and clapped twice.

clap clap-

"Yes, Mr. Qin's thinking is the same as our Public Security Bureau."

"We also suspect that there was something man-made behind these two cases, and someone deliberately erased the surveillance video, including the case of Zhang Xiaofen's daughter's car accident."

"That case happened half a year ago, but it was also handled by our jurisdiction and was classified as...an accident at the time."

"But in fact, the dashcams of both cars are gone..."

"The photos of the accident scene don't reveal much, and it's impossible to tell who hit whom, so we speculate that there is a deeper connection behind Zhang Xiaofen's case."

Qin Shang frowned.

Why would this woman take the initiative to mention these things to me? Could it be that she and Xu Mingyang really came to ask for advice from me?

But I'm not a criminal investigation expert. Even if Xu Mingyang likes to say that he has a friend who is very smart, a normal person wouldn't believe this introduction so firmly after just a few words, right?

The next moment, noticing the strange look that flashed across Qin Shang's eyes, Wanyan Xiaowen chuckled and said;

"In fact, Mr. Qin Shang can speak freely. This is how police-civilian cooperation works. If you have any ideas or clues, you can also provide them to us."

"Regarding the disappearance of surveillance footage, our people are already investigating."

"It's just that the North Shore District's special case team members are a little short of manpower because they have to transfer some people to the economic investigation department to handle the money laundering case. The investigation of the Xingfuli community case and another key suspect has been slow for the time being."

"But after discussing with Xu Mingyang over the past two days, we have identified a suspect..."

"We suspect that the murderer is most likely the younger sister of the person involved in the second case, that is, the younger sister of the victim who fell from the building in Xingfuli Community... Zhang Xiaofang, former captain of the Economic Investigation Team of the North Shore District Public Security Bureau."
