Deadly Game: Almighty Boss’s Guide to Making Money

Chapter 915. The Secret of the Villa (915)

Lin Xi and Huang Jingjing were drinking juice. When they saw the people at the next table finishing their meal and leaving, they hurriedly followed them.

"Two beauties!" Lin Xi called out to the two people and walked forward, lowering his voice. "What's the matter with the dismemberment case you just mentioned?"

"Haven't you heard about it?" one of the girls asked, and then added, "Don't be so secretive, everyone is talking about it."

"We are here to travel from other places!" Huang Jingjing said.

"He was a very famous person here. He was killed and cut into many pieces and thrown into several garbage bins."

"I just heard that it's because he cheated on me?"

"At first, everyone thought so. But now that his wife and mistress have been released, it shouldn't be the case."

"It's all because of money. They want to kill for money." Huang Jingjing said.

"He is the CEO of a listed company and his family is indeed wealthy, but I don't think I've heard that he was kidnapped or anything like that."

"It must be a revenge killing, otherwise it would be impossible to dismember the body." Lin Xi said, and then asked, "Are there many such cases here?"

"If this happens more often, it will be terrible!" said the slightly older woman. "If it happens once, it will cause a sensation."

"Oh, that's okay. We are also worried about safety issues!" Lin Xi said.

"Don't worry, it's safe. Most people are good people."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

"By the way, what was the name of the dead person?" Lin Xi asked again.

"I'm not sure. His last name is Weng, and everyone calls him Mr. Weng."

After saying goodbye to the two girls, Lin Xi and Huang Jingjing began to stroll along the street.

Occasionally, you would hear store clerks or passers-by talking about Mr. Weng.

It seems that this incident really caused quite a stir in the local area.

There is a small open park in front, where many old men and women are taking a walk.

On the bench, three old men were also talking about this.

"We had a similar incident a few years ago." An old man said. "It's been several years, and the murderer hasn't been found yet!"

“I guess he’s too rich.”

"That guy doesn't have much money, but he's pretty good-looking! I heard that in addition to his wife and children at home, he also has an illegitimate child outside. For so many years, he has been supporting two families."

"He is quite capable!"

"In the end, he was still killed and dismembered!" an old man said disdainfully. "So, people should not be too pretentious."

Lin Xi and Huang Jingjing didn't intend to interrupt. They listened silently for a while and then left.

After walking for a while, I didn't hear anything new. Most people were talking about the recent dismemberment case.

Lin Xi sent a message to Guo Yuelang and walked back with Huang Jingjing.

When they arrived at where Guo Yuelang parked his car, Guo Yuelang, Bai Yueming and Yi Quan had already arrived.

"Weng Jieming and Zhao Liang haven't come back yet?" Lin Xi asked.

"Not yet. Before we separated, I gave Weng Jieming a cell phone. I called him just now, but no one answered..."

Before Guo Yuelang could finish his words, his cell phone rang.

Guo Yuelang picked up the phone.

"Okay, got it. Send me the location and we'll be there right away."

After hanging up the phone, Guo Yuelang spoke to Lin Xi and the others.

"Weng Jieming and Zhao Liang found a yard that looks very similar to where we live."

Lin Xi and the others got in the car, and Guo Yuelang turned on the navigation.

"Have they walked quite far?" Bai Yueming asked.

"It's not far, just a ten-minute drive."

Lin Xi calculated and it wasn’t very far.

It should be Weng Jieming and Zhao Liang who have been walking.

After driving for seven or eight minutes, we saw Zhao Liang standing on the side of the road.

Seeing the car stop, Zhao Liang trotted over.

"Xiao Mu..."

"Where is the villa?"

Lin Xi and Zhao Liang spoke almost at the same time.

"Oh, over there, follow me." Zhao Liang immediately became serious. "There are also three villas, but they look abandoned."

After walking a few minutes and turning a corner, Lin Xi and the others also saw the three villas. "It's amazing that you found this place," Huang Jingjing said.

"I saw it was dark here and didn't want to come over, but Brother Weng asked me to come and take a look."

It is indeed a bit desolate here, which is at odds with the hustle and bustle just now.

The yard outside is fine, there are street lights and you can see that someone is cleaning it regularly.

When I walked into the yard, it was pitch black and had a spooky feeling.

Weng Jieming had already summoned flashlights, and Lin Xi also summoned a few and handed them to Huang Jingjing and the others.

Several people walked slowly forward with flashlights.

"Look, the studio." Huang Jingjing's flashlight shone on the right side.

"It's very similar to what we saw during the day," said Yi Quan.

"It's not very similar, it's exactly the same. The only difference is that it's dilapidated," said Guo Yuelang.

"Nian Garden." Bai Yueming looked at the sign above the villa.

"Do you want to go in and take a look?" Huang Jingjing asked.

"Yes." Lin Xi said, and walked in first.

——123 is really brave.

——There are so many people!

——Even if it’s just one person, 123 dares to go in.

——How can there be two places that are exactly the same?

——Maybe there was a fire in this place, so Hailing rebuilt three villas.

——Hailing does look very rich.

——Which eye of yours saw the villa catch fire?

——There was no fire, it was just abandoned.

Lin Xi walked in and found that there was also a large hall inside, but there was nothing else except various dusty cushions.

No painting.

Others have discovered this, too.

"Maybe all the paintings were taken away by Hai Ling? They should be her most treasured ones." Yi Quan said.

"It's possible." Zhao Liang agreed.

"Go upstairs and have a look."

Lin Xi and Huang Jingjing were not familiar with the second floor, but they were quite familiar with the third floor.

The two went to the bedroom first.

The bed and cushions in the bedroom were there, even an old quilt, but there were no paintings.

——It doesn’t look like moving.

——Yes, how could you not even want the quilt?

——It took too long.

——Don’t speculate about the world of rich people. They don’t need a few quilts.

——I can’t, I’m nostalgic.

——I can’t, I don’t have money.

——Hahahahahaha. The truth is often very painful.

Lin Xi and Huang Jingjing looked at each other, left the bedroom, and walked towards the study room tacitly.

Guo Yuelang and the others didn't say anything either and followed behind.

In the study, the bookshelves are there, the workbenches for painting and sculpture are there, but the piano is not there.

"I guess Hai Ling liked the piano very much, so he took it away," said Huang Jingjing.

“Those books aren’t there either,” Lin Xi said.

"So, she really moved. What we see now is her previous home?" said Weng Jieming.

"It's not impossible. But she is really rich!"

As soon as Lin Xi finished speaking, he heard footsteps.

The footsteps were light, but audible. They were getting closer.

A few people looked around and found there was nowhere to hide, so they had no choice but to face it head-on.

With a "click", the light came on.
