S.C.I Mystery Series [Book 5]

149. [Case V] On-Screen, ch.45 - Progress

Chen Fu was defeated by Zhan Zhao's alienation plan and honestly explained what happened.

Until he went to Zhao Jue's house to hide the USB flash drive, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both felt that this kid had a clear mind. How could he develop into this situation all of a sudden?

Chen Fu said that he was simply tricked by Chen Gui.

He hid in Chen Gui's house and usually pretended to be Chen Gui and went to work for a moving company. With his help, Chen Gui became more free and always went to find Xiao Liu.

One day, Chen Gui came back drunk again and told him that Xiao Liu's family had borrowed another debt. Xiao Liu was going to ignore it and immigrate with his husband and never come back again.

But just one day after saying this, Chen Gui came back and said that Xiao Liu's husband, Wang, died.

Chen Fu was also startled at that time and asked Chen Gui if he had killed someone.

Chen Gui said no, Wang was killed by someone else. He also mysteriously gave Chen Fu a USB flash drive, saying that Xiao Liu said that Wang seemed to be planning to use this thing to blackmail someone, so he was killed.

Chen Fu knew something was wrong as soon as he saw the USB flash drive.

Chen Gui didn't know much about computers and didn't have a computer at home, so he asked Chen Fu to see what was in the USB flash drive.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both stared at Chen Fu - this USB flash drive should be Lao Wang's, but Jiang Ping said that the USB flash drive was new and there was nothing in it.

Seeing Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang staring at him, Chen Fu said, "I... I accidentally lost that USB flash drive."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were stunned, "What?!"

Chen Fu scratched his head in distress, "Didn't I hide a USB flash drive in that villa before, and then I still have another one in my hand."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded - this should be the one who was later hidden in Xu Lie's house.

"What about the one Chen Gui gave you?"

"Because I didn't bring a computer with me when I left home, I wanted to borrow one from a friend. I just put the USB flash drive in my trouser pocket. Then I went out to find a friend, took a laptop home, and touched it. There is a hole in the pocket...

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at Chen Fu in surprise - isn't it...

I quickly went back to look for it along the way, but I couldn't find it. Finally, I had no choice but to buy an identical USB flash drive from the Computer City.

Chen Gui asked me what was in the USB flash drive, so I fooled him and told him that they were all encrypted hidden files that could not be opened without a password. Chen Gui knew nothing about computers, so he believed it and went out with the USB flash drive.

But he didn't come home all night, and came back the next day wearing dirty women's clothes, saying that Xiao Liu was dead.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang calculated the time, and it should be the time they bumped into Chen Gui at the flower market that day.

"Chen Gui told me that Xiao Liu was killed, and he escaped with his life by luck." Chen Fu sighed, "The two of us decided to hide, because I was afraid that the fake USB flash drive would harm him. The two of us were in trouble, so we asked him about it. As a result, he said that the USB flash drive was placed in a flower pot in the orchid shop next to the flower shop. We hid outside first, and while eating in a restaurant, the news happened to be playing... …Then Chen Gui pointed to a person and said, that was the person who killed Xiao Liu.”
