Chapter 120 Chairman Gao Song
Mingpo also knew that Gao Fan had only chosen to remain silent on the surface.
In fact, he never forgot this incident. Perhaps it has always been on his mind.
When Mingpo asked Gao Fan about his wish and decided to take on his initial wish for participating in the Deceitful Game, Gao Fan's wish was to "resurrect his parents."
now----
Ever since meeting Virgil, Gao Fan's mood has been somewhat off.
He started acting strangely after he heard that his company had been defeated because of "paradoxical technology".
"You suspect—that a conman murdered your parents?"
Mingpo lowered her hand and gently patted Gao Fan's shoulder: "Right?"
"Because some con artists have their eyes on your company, do you think they might be like the Red Queen, using some despicable tactics in business warfare?"
"And, on that one day, your father didn't bring a driver—that's very strange."
This sounds somewhat like the appearance of being killed by a deceiver.
Traces of past murders by the deceivers have appeared in the current timeline in a "reasonable way" because the deceivers passed the preliminary rounds.
Those inexplicable and illogical deaths are basically all like this. For example, Gao Fan, who was clearly with his secretary who was acting as his driver, fell off a cliff because of his drunk driving. What they have in common is that when these "strange deaths" befell them, they did not struggle or resist.
Gao Fan simply nodded, then shook his head.
His expression was complicated as he slowly spoke, "I've thought about it too—but I also think it's unlikely."
"Because if my parents died from murder, it would mean there was a karmic connection between them and the perpetrator. But if there was a karmic connection, my parents wouldn't have died unjustly—but then their cause of death would seem strange. And, based on my understanding of them, if they had died unjustly, they would surely have become excellent con artists."
"But—they have never come looking for me."
That wouldn't be right.
"I remember----"
Mingpo frowned slightly: "Surely those who deceive the world don't have any rule about the dead not being able to return to face the living?"
"Yes, as long as you hand over the chips, you can do whatever you want."
Gao Fan nodded slightly: "If the continuous manifestation lasts long enough, even having a child with a living person wouldn't be a problem. As long as the pregnancy is confirmed, even if the manifestation ends, the child won't be confiscated."
Conversely, if Gao Fan's parents were fraudsters, there would be no reason for them not to come looking for him, after all, Gao Fan became an orphan with both parents dead when he was still in elementary school.
Which parents wouldn't feel heartache?
Their company was attacked by other con artists using paradoxical techniques, and if they were still alive, they probably wouldn't have given up the initiative so easily.
unless----
Gao Fan's parents have already died in the game of deception.
But if someone is deliberately targeted and murdered, then they shouldn't be included in the game of deception—only those who are innocently implicated and die unjustly can be included in the game of deception.
It was precisely because he couldn't figure this out that Gao Fan remained silent.
Seeing Gao Fan still silently pondering, Ming Po scoffed, "Hmph."
He got up from the sofa and went into the inner room.
Ai Shiping followed instinctively.
As Mingpo entered, she stopped and turned back to give him a warning look.
Ai Shiping thought to himself, "Does this mean I shouldn't go with them?"
Brother, can you say something? I'm not sure if my "eye contact method" is correct!
Aren't you going to close the door?
—Feed?
Should I close the door?
Once inside, Mingpo ignored Ai Shiping and instead took out her phone.
He entered the phone number Virgil had recently given him—it was her contact information.
It's not a regular 11-digit phone number; it has six extra digits at the beginning.
It was a 17-digit phone number that started with the number 3.
Even though there is no internet or signal in the world of the dead where they are now, this number can still be dialed!
This is precisely the special ability of the treasure "One Missed Call".
The phone rang only once before it was answered.
"What's wrong, sir?"
Virgil teased, "We just parted ways—and you already miss me?"
This is different from when discussing serious matters.
In private, Virgil seems to be much more relaxed.
"Since we signed the mutual support agreement—"
Mingpo asked directly, "Is it permissible for me to use Tianwen to investigate some people's information?"
Upon hearing that it was a serious matter, Virgil also became more serious.
"Some things are allowed, but information such as the location of anchor points or the treasures they possess is generally unavailable to us. Others require purchase."
Her voice was calm, as if she had clicked on something with the mouse: "Why don't you tell me first, what do you need me to look up?"
"My companion, Gao Fan—you should know him, right? Were his parents killed by those who deceived the world?"
Mingpo asked.
"Hold on."
After Virgil finished speaking, Minper heard a slight clinking sound as she placed her phone on the table.
Immediately following was the clattering sound of typing, like shuffling mahjong tiles.
About ten seconds later, the phone was picked up again.
"Yes."
Virgil answered simply and clearly.
really.
Mingpo understood.
"How much would it cost to buy information about the killer?"
Mingpo spoke slowly, turning on the speakerphone on her phone at the same time.
"What a responsible captain!"
Virgil's tone lightened again, and he teased, "Call me 'sister,' and I'll give you a free consultation, how about it?"
"Give me a quote."
"What a hypocrite!"
Virgil muttered under his breath, "Anyway, it's free for you this time. Don't get me wrong, it's not a newcomer discount—"
It's not because he belongs to our rival organization—the Chinese Business Association. This is actually an illegal, deceitful organization that collectively refuses to sign the mutual aid agreement.
"If it's a charlatan who joins the Watchmen Mutual Aid organization, their intelligence will be very expensive. Not only will it be a bargaining chip, but it will also require merit to exchange for it. However, if it's an individual who refuses to sign the Watchmen Mutual Aid agreement, their intelligence will be priced at 30%; if it's an organization that refuses to sign the Watchmen Mutual Aid agreement, their intelligence will be priced at 10%."
"As for malicious sabotage, the intelligence fees for organizations that are blacklisted by us will be free for a limited time until they are removed from the blacklist."
"----I see."
After listening to Virgil's answer, Mingper nodded slowly and meaningfully.
Virgil's implication was that since the other party had provoked them, his intelligence would be given away for free.
This is probably why the Watchers Mutual Aid Organization, despite lacking clear benefits, a formal military structure, and a rule requiring all members to disclose information, has still managed to become a large, lower-middle-class organization of con artists.
—Although the Watchmen's Mutual Aid Organization will not send troops to besiege or attack other organizations, if no Watchmen's Mutual Aid Agreement is signed, then everyone can buy their own intelligence at a very low price.
"The feedback from Tianwen is out," Virgil read the intelligence report. "The individual who killed the lucky survivor of the Deceiver on June 25, 2010, Gao Fan's biological parents has been confirmed to be the Deceiver."
"Title: Lucky Parasitic Silver Crown," personal name: Gao Song, current chairman of Gaotian Construction Group. ID number: 310-. He became a wrongfully executed person in April 2010 and passed the preliminary rounds. In July 2010...
The monthly access permission was changed to "Sun's Pseudo-Gold," and in January 2020, the access permission was changed to "Weekly Blue Lead."
Mingpo blinked.
He was promoted to Pseudo-Gold in three months, but in the end—it took him ten years to become Zhou's Blue Lead?
That doesn't sound very strong.
but----
"—Gao Song?"
Mingpo murmured softly.
He did remember the name.
This is the name he saw when he searched for Gao Fan.
Gao Fan himself is the vice chairman of "Gaotian Construction Group," and this chairman—looks to be in his fifties. Judging from his age, he might be one of Xiao Fan's uncles.
But that doesn't seem right.
If the chairman of Gaotian Construction Group is the one who killed his father, then why was Gaotian Construction Group so severely attacked by Paradox Technology? And how did he manage to kill his own brother without being tainted by karma, making him a wrongfully deceased person?
Despite knowing the important information, Mingpo felt even more confused.
"Are you sure you've found the right person?"
Mingpo asked somewhat hesitantly.
"certainly!"
Virgil was somewhat displeased.
She was clearly quite confident in "Tianwen".
"Heavenly Questions" is one of the greatest masterpieces of our divine tale. The characteristic of this computer is that it does not need to obtain all the intelligence—as long as it obtains most of the intelligence, it can directly calculate the intelligence.
"It can directly bypass intelligence and analysis and capture a priori intelligence by capturing the characteristic that the same existence is located in the history of every possibility. When its data is complete, the accuracy of this machine will be infinitely close to absolute accuracy, and it is currently in a state of data completeness."
"It even possesses a peculiarity that allows it to be absolute in the near future, like a deceiver. Even going back in time, it's impossible to change anything it presents."
"----so?"
"Any answer that Tianwen gives explicitly is definitely correct. Tianwen will not report information that is uncertain."
Virgil gave an absolutely certain answer: "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now. I'm pretty busy here, little rascal."
"Thanks, Virgil."
Mingpo paused, then added, "I'll treat you to drinks another day."
"Then I'll be waiting."
Virgil spoke in a lighthearted tone.
Mingpo turned off her phone screen and looked up at the doorway.
Gao Fan was already standing in front of the door, his lips pursed as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
In fact, Mingpo had already seen him arrive.
That's why I just switched my phone to speakerphone mode.
"What do you think, Xiaofan?"
Mingpo asked softly.
