Chapter 26 What?
The two sat opposite Su Chen, who took out a medical glove and said, "Some thieves are so stupid that they think there's nothing wrong with wearing gloves, but they don't know that gloves can leave fingerprints. Some smarter thieves pay attention to fingerprints but forget about palm prints. Cui Jian, wait for me at the door first."

Cui Jian walked to the door. Su Chen said a few words in Yu Ming's ear, then asked Yu Ming to leave and invited Cui Jian in.

Su Chen whispered in Cui Jian's ear: "The difficulty of this question lies in what it is, not who can answer it. If you can tell me what it is, I will pay you 10 million. There is no penalty, but whoever tells it first between you and Yu Ming will get 10 million. The time limit is until the end of the second class, which is within one hour. Okay, let's go back."

After Yu Ming and Cui Jian returned, an announcement was made at the back of the car that everyone could stay in the playground outside the classroom and move around freely.

Ten million! Cui Jian was thinking whether he could take the ten million. It was not that Cui Jian was greedy for money, he was thinking of sharing five million with Yu Ming. After all, there was no punishment, and it would be a jerk not to take the money. However, Cui Jian could not be sure whether Su Chen was blackmailing him and Yu Ming.

Yu Ming was praying, "Don't look at me, don't look at me." He was just reading our eye contact. But you can't not look at me. You stayed with me when I was sick, which shows that we have a good relationship. We were called in separately again, and you can't not look at me.

How do you find the right balance? Damn detective!

Cui Jian and Yu Ming gave the instructor questions, and Su Chen gave the counter-questions. Yu Ming and Cui Jian knew they were the most suspicious because they were the only two students left in the teaching building. Although Cui Jian blocked Li Ran's kill with a black card, Li Ran should have remembered some of Cui Jian's characteristics.

Cui Jian and Yu Ming now regretted not colluding with each other. They had not expected Su Chen to appear among the instructors. Those two simple words made them feel very uncomfortable. Now Su Chen was checking all the items in the school office, obviously looking for the answer to the second question. Several instructors were on the stage, and they had a full view of everything that happened on the playground.

Should I admit defeat and take the 10 million, or should I fight them head-on?
Cui Jian thought that since Su Chen had contributed 10 million, it meant that the second problem would be difficult for him. If he and Yu Ming shared the 10 million, it would mean that both problems would be solved.

Thinking of this, Cui Jian directly called Yu Ming over: "We have been targeted. Two points. One is that Li Ran saw our forehead and hair. He probably also knows our height and weight data. The second point: Our condition is to cancel the afternoon class. We two happen to be the only two victims of the afternoon class."

Yu Ming smiled bitterly and put a hand on Cui Jian's shoulder: "Brother, are you short of money?"

Cui Jian: “It’s in short supply, but I’m really not convinced that they just sold it like that.”

Yu Ming had a quick mind and thought: "Let's play the open chess game. We did it. Anyway, there is no restriction on us doing this. The only topic to discuss is whether to sell it or not."

Cui Jian: "Do you think they can find the answer?"

Yu Ming said: "The focus is on the black card instructor. Unless they contact the black card instructor, it will be difficult to know what we have taken. But I am not sure about facing Su Chen. If I knew he would come today, I should have cleaned up last night."

Cui Jian: "I have found the black card instructor."

Yu Ming didn't look around, and asked, "Where?"

Cui Jian: "He wore a mask, had makeup applied to his face, and had some wigs applied to his face. He looked to be in his early 20s."

When Yu Ming heard Cui Jian say this, he immediately said, "Shi Feng."

"Ah."

Yu Ming: “Let’s do it.”

Cui Jian and Yu Ming separated.

Shi Feng's phone vibrated. He took out the phone and took a look. Cui Jian's voice came from behind him: "You shut up, I shut up." If you dare to cooperate, I will sell your black card identity.

Shi Feng answered the phone: "Hello, I'm going to sleep in the office. Well, the office is cool. Whatever you think."

After hanging up the phone, Shi Feng walked away without going to see Cui Jian.

...Su Chen pulled up a chair and sat at the entrance of the school affairs office, holding a cup of black tea in his hand, scanning the entire office. Behind him were four instructors and two school affairs staff.

Ellie hung up the phone: "He refused to explain why he came into the office."

Su Chen nodded and asked, "Are you sure nothing is missing?"

The school administrator replied: “No.”

Su Chen: "According to Brother Li, Black Card and the two bastards probably met in the office. Since Brother Li saw Cui Jian leave, it means Black Card must have been taken down. The two bastards knew what Black Card looked like and used it as a threat, so Black Card refused to cooperate with the work. Nothing was lost but he was robbed, so what was lost should be data."

The school administrator asked, “Could it be corporate espionage?”

Su Chen: "Impossible, if they were corporate spies, they wouldn't have provoked us on the blackboard. We overturned all the clues and re-examined them. The two bastards were admitted to the infirmary by accident, right?"

Lin Chen nodded: "That's right."

Su Chen: "That is to say, invading the office was not part of their plan, which means it was an unpremeditated crime. Unpremeditated crimes are interesting. Let's count whether there are any gloves missing in the infirmary. Masks cannot be counted, but gloves should be fine. After all, they are the first pair of people to arrive at the infirmary."

Li Ran said: "Su Chen, isn't the problem now the second one?" It has been confirmed that Yu Ming and Cui Jian did it.

Su Chen said: "Brother Li, you must collect as much information as possible before blackmailing people. They have already given up and stood together to discuss countermeasures. They decided to abandon the first question. We can investigate the gloves and give them a false impression. No matter whether it is useful or not, as long as I release enough information, they will not be able to digest it."

Lin Chen was dissatisfied: "Hey, why do you call him Brother Li and call me by my name?"

Su Chen smiled: "I have received favors from Brother Li."

Li Ran: "No, I just did my job."

"I know how precious my life is." Su Chen pondered for a while. "If the stolen items are data, they need to hand over their phones. But if they hand over their phones, I will look inferior. If there is nothing I want in them, I will look too cheap. Did anything special happen yesterday? Something related to the black card?"

Ellie talked about the girls' restroom incident.

Su Chen asked: "Monitor?" No, why do we need to monitor? There is absolutely no benefit.

Su Chen asked: "Will the surveillance video be any good to them?"

Li Ran said: "5 extra credits for being a traitor."

"Oh, I see. It seems the answer to the second question is there." Su Chen stood up and walked to the corridor to look down: "Is that country bumpkin an independent investigator?"

"Yes."

Wise people are suspicious. Su Chen thought for a long time and sat back down. "It feels like a trap. The independent investigator couldn't have been unaware of me, and I have a class today. That's right, I'm the one he wants to provoke. The surveillance is a trap he deliberately dug. That's right, the time is right. I arrived in Hancheng at 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon. They were staying in the infirmary by accident. The country bumpkin heard that I was here, so he wanted to make things difficult for me."

Su Chen frowned, "But it's not a premeditated crime, surveillance should be the answer. Is it, or is it not? I hate evidence the most, and I hate multiple-choice questions even more. No, I can't answer rashly and let the stupid investigator laugh at me. I have to play the prisoner's game, two dead losers, I'll see if I can't kill you."
