Genius Detective - Chapter 340

Chapter 340: 340


The three sat at the table with three cups of tea, calm as if they were holding a family meeting .

Reuniting with his old online friend, Chen Shi also felt lots of emotions inside of him .

Most of the young people back then were mostly not content with their lives and kept bumping into obstacles in real life . That’s why they came up with such a game to release stress . They learned and exchanged criminal skills and issued tasks to each other every Wednesday . There were pranks, simulated robberies, simulated kidnappings, and simulated murder . In the quiet midnight city, no door or wall could stop them . This group of restless young people felt like they were wielding superpowers .

Breaking order was so interesting that they never considered the dangerous consequences of tasting this "Black Honey" .

Chen Shi said, "It was just ignorance at that time . I thought it was cool to have a skill that others didn’t . We called it cathartic, but now that I think about it, did these people join 'Black Honey' just for fun? It’s hard to understand people’s hearts . Part of it is due to hatred towards someone and wanting to learn criminal skills to take their revenge . There were also some people who were the original kind, but found that taking shortcuts could achieve their goals faster and then went onto the wrong path… I often thought that this game should never have started . ”

Gu You rubbed the edge of the tea cup with a slight smile . "But you and I have not taken on the evil path . You used it to overcome the crime . To me, it was really a means of catharsis . . . I was studying for graduate school and had a repetitive and monotonous life . The obstacles mentors purposely gave me and the indifference among my classmates annoyed me . This prank-type game allowed me to breathe . I feel that the evil of the human heart needs to be released regularly, otherwise it will change its form due to suppression . ”

"There are many people in this world . They all have their own stress factors . Do they all have to dive into other people's houses late at night to release their stress to have a good life? Some evils are better buried in the heart . They are like fire . After leaving the furnace, they will ignite everything around them . ” Chen Shi paused . "Let’s not discuss the concept first . I have a question for you . Is Zhou Xiao also a member?"

"Yes! In fact, I have been looking for him for the last few years . I want to kill him myself!" Gu You gritted her teeth .

Tao Yueyue looked at Chen Shi and Gu You, saying, "Uncle Chen, Sister Gu, have you not met before?"

"No!" They said in unison .



"Then, how did you play together?"

"Internet!" Chen Shi smiled . "The ‘Black Honey’ platform was a very hidden website . We discussed with each other anonymously over the Internet . There were more than 20 people at its peak . Later, something happened and ‘Black Honey’ changed . ”

"The tragic case at Villa Luolin!" Gu You’s eyes looked as though they were glowing . "It was all planned by Zhou Xiao that time . The different parties were cleaned up . Those willing to join him were allowed to survive . Those unwilling were all killed . ‘Black Honey’ was dirtied by the poisonous snake, Zhou Xiao . ”


"It seems you joined earlier than me . "

"A lot earlier . "

"How much do you know about Zhou Xiao?"

"I haven't seen him before and I don't know his real name . He suddenly appeared like a ghost and began to spread his crazy thoughts, inciting evil in everyone to commit real crimes . "

"Your name…"

"kk!"



Chen Shi widened his eyes and stared at Gu You for a long time . Gu You touched her short hair . "What? Does my real identity make you disappointed?”

"Ahem . . . Not the type I like . " Chen Shi said awkwardly .

"You haven't been online dating, have you?" It was the first time that Tao Yueyue saw Chen Shi act so coy .

"No . . . no . But at that time, we were relatively close and found it easy to talk to each other, so I proposed to meet . . . " Chen Shi looked at Gu You . "You also agreed, but when we got to the place, you sent me a bunch of puzzles . When the solution came out, you said that the time was up . It was unfortunate that I didn't see you in person . "

"You must have been obsessed with me back then?" Gu You smiled . "You said a lot of cheesy words as well . Yueyue, do you want to hear about it?"

"No, no . Just forget about the past!" Chen Shi held his forehead .

Gu You looked around . "Purposefully renting a house, Mr . Chen, you played a bit big this time . What’s your motive?"

"I want to confirm first . Are you intending to lead Yueyue down the wrong path?"

"Of course not . I just think that she is the same kind of person as us . I want to pass things on to her . "

Tao Yueyue jumped in, "I like being a criminal . It's fun . "



Chen Shi sighed and pointed at her . "We’ve already negotiated this . I allowed you to do bad things, but you must report to me truthfully . "

Tao Yueyue pouted, "You were just talking about school . "

"Okay, I will not pursue the matter of you breaking into the house . From now on, if you play this dangerous game again, I must know what criminal skills you learn… Of course, it mustn’t be illegal . "

Tao Yueyue nodded earnestly . "I won't cross the line . Just pranks . "

"Back to the question earlier!" Gu You said, "What’s your motive?"

"I'm helping the police with a case and I’ve locked onto a suspect . However, her defense is too perfect and conventional methods can't move the case forward . I need the help of an old friend and I happened to find you!"

"What's her name?"

"Yi Qing . An elegant beauty . "

"Yi Qing . Yi Qing?" Gu You recalled . "Was that the quiet girl who was said to have been sexually abused as a child?"

"Oh, you know her?"

"There aren’t a lot who know each other’s real identities . "

Chen Shi thought to himself . Fortunately, no one knew his true identity . No one knew that he was the police student Song Lang at the time and not Chen Shi .

It was fortunate because if he had met kk back then, he wouldn’t be able to talk so freely right now .

"Who else do you know? If they’re still comrades, we’ll invite them here, and this will be used as a temporary gathering place . If they’ve changed, I will kill them through the police . "

"Using evil to control evil, I like it!" Gu You laughed, "I still know one person . Master Ge . "

"Master Ge? That kid . . . I only know Little Worm’s real identity . "

"The four of us should be able to bring Yi Qing down . "

"I hope so!"

Tao Yueyue clapped . "You’re going to find former partners? How cool!"

"Cool my ass . " Chen Shi smiled . "In reality, they’re all just people who suffered losses in life . "

"Can I sleep in this room tonight?"

"No, you’re not allowed to come to the temporary command center or show your face in front of them . This time, it’s only to deal with Yi Qing . I will return the house when everything is done . "
