Chapter 99 Yes, isn’t that how movies are played?
"This Feng Yuxiu is like the criminal suspect in this case. The peak duel between the two masters is not only about who is better, but also about life and death... Do you all understand?"
In front of the projector, Su He held a stick and pointed at Feng Yuxiu, the character played by Wang Baoqiang on the screen.
In order to help everyone better understand his ideas, he organized all the police officers in the Public Security Bureau, including the director, to watch the movie "One Man's Martial Arts".
At this time, the director raised his hand.
"Director, you say!" Su He said with a smile.
"You assume that there is a chess player like Feng Yuxiu, who was born for chess, lives for chess, and is obsessed with chess... He gambled his life to challenge these folk chess masters. So the deaths of these people were caused by the mysterious chess player?"
"Yeah, isn't that how movies work?"
Hiss, it suddenly made sense to me… The director didn’t know how to refute it for a moment, and asked, “Then how do we find this mysterious chess player?”
"You're stupid... No, sorry, Chief, you see... Later in the movie, it was Xiahou Wu, played by Donnie Yen, who defeated Feng Yuxiu. All we need to do is find a chess master to lure the snake out of its hole, then catch the turtle in the jar, and finally beat the drowned dog and make him scream!"
"Ahem!" Zhao Shaoyang coughed and said, "Su He, the last step can be omitted... You seem to be talking so excitedly, so you must be the chess master, right?"
Su He scratched his head and said with a silly smile: "Playing chess... I only know a little bit..."
"That's enough! Don't be so modest. We have all your information. You can sing a little bit, perform a little bit, and do a little opera... You can even fly a little bit, so you must be the national champion in chess, right?"
"I really only know a little bit!" Su He had a sad face. How could he be modest? He was fighting with the rookie Old Zhang, and Old Zhang could still beat him for a few games.
"However, I have found a master for you. He is the famous chess king Ma Mingzhe. No one in our dormitory can beat him!"
As she said that, Rong Xue went outside and called Ma Mingzhe in.
Ma Mingzhe walked in wearing a delivery uniform. When he saw a room full of police officers, he stood up straight instantly.
"Brother Ma, don't be nervous, you say a few words." Su He pulled Ma Mingzhe and walked to the middle.
Ma Mingzhe looked at the room full of policemen, closed his eyes, and said loudly: "I...cannot reconcile with gambling and drugs!"
"Ahem, Brother Ma, let me ask you to talk about playing chess..."
"Oh, I once won the Jinnan Folk Chess Championship three times in a row... Later I stopped participating because the organizers were too stingy. Even the medals were made of plastic. The first prize was a bag of rice. The second year it was a bucket of rapeseed oil. The third year was the most outrageous. They gave me two bottles of soy sauce..."
"That's about it, Brother Ma, the rest is not important..."
Looking at the two deliverymen on the stage, Zhao Shaoyang always felt something was strange. Su He's guess was not unreasonable, but he was still a little confused. He stood up and said, "Su He, movies are movies. Feng Yuxiu beat others to death, but in reality, Huang Zhiyuan and the others committed suicide. They committed suicide after losing the game. Can't they just deny their debt?"
"Maybe the mysterious chess player has evidence against them, some reason that forced them to commit suicide..." At this time, Rong Xue took the initiative to explain for Su He.
Su He nodded and said, "Officer Rong is right! First of all , they are all chess masters. Since they accepted the challenge, they still have pride and are willing to accept the defeat if they lose... However, they may refuse to pay the price with their lives. They must have reasons for committing suicide..."
"Su He, what are you talking about?"
Ma Mingzhe was confused as he listened. Su He called him over and said that the Public Security Bureau was organizing a chess competition and the winner could eat in the cafeteria for free for a month.
"The situation has changed. The competition has been cancelled and changed to a special exercise. You have to play the role of a chess master to lure out another chess master..."
"Su He, do you think I'm a fool? I'm easy to fool?"
"Hey, just kidding... The police said they'll give you a reward of 50,000 yuan if you solve the case..."
Zhao Shaoyang didn't expect Su He to be so shameless. He just made up the story about the 50,000 yuan! After saying that, he looked at the director and said, "If you don't believe me, ask the director."
"Alright, brat... Follow your plan. As long as you can catch this mysterious chess player and prevent more people from suffering misfortune, the bureau will reward you two... During this period, the bureau will reimburse your lost wages!"
Seeing the director speak, Ma Mingzhe stood at attention, saluted, and said loudly: "I guarantee to complete the task!"
After that, he turned around and asked in a low voice: "Su He, what is my mission?"
Su He said calmly: "There is a chess player who is ruthless and vicious. He has killed four chess masters in a row. Your task is to act as bait and lure him out..."
"This, this, this...Su He, are you kidding me?"
"Mr. Ma, Su He is not joking. Don't worry, our police will provide you with 24-hour protection and will not let you come into harm's way..." Rong Xue said at this time.
In order to show the police's sincerity, Su He also brought Ma Mingzhe to the cafeteria.
"Sister Wu...six bowls of rice..."
Su He whispered to Ma Mingzhe: "Brother Ma, you don't have to pay for meals here... I eat three meals a day here..."
Ma Mingzhe was stunned and said with a smile: "Can we pack it up?"
"Sister Wu...give me six more bowls of rice to take away!"
Wow, my goodness, even Ma Mingzhe was stunned.
After dinner, Su He gave the packed meals to Dong Yong and Pan Zhigang, and then took Ma Mingzhe to the small park.
"Brother Su He, why did you come just now?"
Old Zhang sat on a stone bench watching others play chess, but no one wanted to play with him. He came here early this morning, but there was no sign of Su He. He has been waiting until now and has not even gone back for lunch.
Oops, I forgot about the uncle!
Su He finally reacted and apologized repeatedly: "Brother Zhang, I felt uncomfortable when I woke up this morning, so I went to the hospital for a check-up. I came straight here right after I came out..."
Ma Mingzhe was stunned as he listened to this. Su He lied without hesitation.
"Brother Su He, are you okay?" Old Zhang said as he placed the chess pieces on the table.
"It's okay, just a minor problem...Brother Zhang, let me introduce you to this person. This is my friend. He also loves playing chess. In our Jinnan City, he is nicknamed the Chess King!"
"Oh, no, no, something bad will happen, young man, you can't control yourself with this name!"
Following Old Zhang's exclamation, many uncles looked over. Ma Mingzhe straightened his chest and raised his head, saying bluntly: "I have been playing chess since I was three years old. To be honest, no one here can beat me!"
Old Zhang shook his head and said to Su He, "Brother Su He, can you take me with you to the banquet?"
