Chapter 128 Internet Celebrity Festival ([-])
The microphone followed the table again and stopped in front of Kou Kou.Liang Xi pulled off the mouth mask, took a cup of black tea, walked to the side of the field, and drank tea against the pillars.

Johnson opened the last envelope and opened the question card: "Hello, the first question: Does your family factor help or hinder your Internet celebrity career?"

Before Kou Kou answered, Liang Xi said, "This question is wrong."

Johnson turned to look at Liang Xi: "Who are you?"

Liang Xi took two steps forward: "I am her assistant."

Johnson said: "Since you have such a strong desire to speak, why don't you use a headset? Are you reluctant to part with ten thousand pounds? Haha!"

Johnson's mocking laughter led many people to laugh, and Kou Kou blushed even more, unable to speak a word.

"I didn't plan to talk at first, but you are too bullying, and even bullied my boss, so I have to talk." Liang Xi flicked a poker in his hand, and then flicked the poker into a K. Simple hand speed magic.Liang Xi suggested that Johnson secretly changed the question.The camera can capture the problem, but the camera does not capture the replacement problem card.Why are the question cards so small?After confirming the candidate, Johnson hid the question card in the palm of his hand in advance, and then replaced the question card.

Ordinary people think it is incredible or difficult, but in fact this kind of technique is not uncommon in mahjong and poker, and you can even meet such good players on the street.

Liang Xi asked: "Do you understand what I mean? If you don't understand, I have to explain and then produce evidence. If you understand, we can skip this step."

Johnson is very experienced: "I would like to hear why you say the question is wrong."

Liang Xi replied: "Because Internet celebrity is not Kou Kou's career, and even Kou Kou didn't want to be an Internet celebrity at all, so naturally there is no promotion or hindrance. Anyone who knows Kou Kou knows that Kou Kou started because of her love for food. Upload a short video. Everyone has eyes, look at the natural beauty Kou Kou, isn't she very pretty?"

Liang Xidao: "Such a beautiful Kou Kou never shows her face in the short video, she just manipulates and explains the ingredients and food. This is a mentality of sharing delicious food with others. Unfortunately, due to reasons that cannot be chosen, Kou Kou offended Ke People from the Clement family. As a media tycoon, I think Mr. Johnson and the Clement family know each other?"

Johnson replied: "Hehe, of course I know."

Liang Xidao: "The matter is very simple. The husband of a woman from the Clement family fell in love with Kou Kou's mother, and she had Kou Kou. After learning that the other party had a wife, Kou Kou's mother resolutely left her and raised Kou Kou alone. Growing up, I didn’t take a penny from the man. Of course, for the sake of the child, Kou Kou would meet with his biological father several times a month. Because of Kou Kou’s excellence, the man repeatedly praised Kou while scolding his child in front of his wife Kou. Finally one day my wife couldn't take it anymore, and with the help of a pushing hands company, she wanted to kill Kou Kou completely."

Liang Xi said, "Mr. Johnson, you are the accomplice."

Johnson asked: "Are you making an allegation?"

Liang Xifan asked, "Tell me, have you met or called any female members of the Clement family within 24 hours?"

Johnson: "For business reasons, I do keep in touch with the Clements, and I don't think there is a problem."

Liang Xi said: "It doesn't matter. Kou Kou doesn't want to be an Internet celebrity at all. As her assistant, I hope she is safe and sound during my work. No matter whether you understand Mr. Johnson or not, everyone is safe and sound." The best thing. I'm not a policeman, I can talk nonsense, and you can sue me."

Others couldn't understand the last sentence. Johnson knew that Liang Xi threatened him. If he didn't want to live in peace, he would speculate that he was an Internet celebrity killer.There is no direct benefit, but it can completely disrupt Johnson's plans.When you can't figure out what the opponent's plan is, the shit stick tactic is the best tactic.

"Come prepared." Johnson looked at Liang Xi: "Want to be famous? Take off the mask and let me see if you are qualified to be famous." Come on, break the news, I am not afraid.

Liang Xidao: "I don't know the mentality of the people here, but I know that many people don't want to be popular, but they are targeted by those who want to be popular, and they can't do it if they don't want to be popular. For example, kind and ordinary people who just want to do small business, such as And me. Don't get me wrong, I didn't see your little money. Now it's live, we are discussing the first question of Kou Kou, after I explain and explain, you think the question is wrong Yet?"

Hell, Johnson wasn't afraid to stir it up himself, but was looking forward to talking about his suspected killer.The whole thing got weird.

Johnson looked for the steps and asked Kou Kou: "You don't want to be an Internet celebrity?"

Kou Kou nodded: "I will donate all proceeds from the short video to the Love Shrimp charity."

Johnson nodded: "It's a great institution, founded by a great man."

Coco replied: "Yes."

Johnson said: "But you have already signed the contract, so..."

Kou Kou said: "I will cooperate with the contract to complete the recording of this Internet celebrity festival."

Johnson: "Okay, you don't need to answer the first question. You don't need to answer the second and third questions either. Thank you Miss Kou Kou, an internet celebrity who doesn't want to be an internet celebrity."

Kou Kou nodded and put the microphone back on the table.Johnson said: "The first program of the Internet Celebrity Festival is over, and no one has been eliminated, so everyone will get a bonus of [-] pounds. After a half-hour break, we will conduct the second program: the prisoner's game. One Internet celebrities have a bye, and the other twenty Internet celebrities will draw lots in groups of two, and the Internet celebrities who get the least bonus will enter the elimination pending area. Thank you everyone, take a break, and we will be back soon.”

Liang Xi watched the live broadcast on his mobile phone and entered the advertisement link.What children must read eight books.Parents must read eight books.Miracle-grade chemicals that eliminate oil stains in one spray... These advertisements have a characteristic, from manufacturers to publishers are unknown people.The second advertisement is a live broadcast of Internet celebrities, some are dancing, some are singing, and some are spoofing.

"Thank you." Kou Kou sat down beside Liang Xi.

Liang Xi looked at the advertisement and said, "Keep a kind character for a while, games can be lost, but people can't lose."

"Ok."

"I'll answer the phone." Liang Xi stood up and walked aside to answer the phone: "Helen."

Helen said: "Liang Xi, I'm in Fairy Tale Island. The situation is like this. We are worried that Johnson will take advantage of the Internet celebrity festival to take hostages or carry out secret murders." Helen is a police officer of the hostage crisis emergency response team and arrived from London with the emergency response team Fairytale Island.During the live broadcast, Helen recognized Liang Xi who was speaking, so she spoke to Liang Xi with the consent of the police detective in charge.

Liang Xi didn't ask the police why they suspected Johnson, but asked, "Do you think Johnson is planning an indiscriminate assassination, or a targeted murder?"

Helen said: "I can't draw conclusions, but we think that Johnson must want to do bad things at the Internet celebrity festival. Have you found anything?" She heard that Liang Xi already knew that Johnson was a suspect in the Internet celebrity killer.

Liang Xi said: "I found that Johnson is making a lot of Internet celebrities, which makes many people unhappy. If he wants to kill people, he should not put himself in a hostile position. It is strange that he doesn't care, and even wants to provoke me to say that he is Internet celebrity killer suspect. This behavior is very abnormal. In the previous Internet celebrity killer video, Johnson had an assistant who I suspect is related to Johnson's wife."

Helen replied: "Jesse, Johnson's brother-in-law, is 35 years old this year, a retired soldier, and a training bodyguard for a security company. After his sister died, he left the security company and is still unemployed."

Liang Xi asked, "Where is he?"

Helen said: "He boarded Fairy Tale Island wearing a media company staff vest yesterday morning, and was photographed by the pier camera. We checked the staff list and found no Jesse. Starting yesterday afternoon, our undercover agent and two police detectives in the hotel An initial search of the hotel and island was conducted and no trace of Jesse was found."

Helen said: "Jesse's car is still parked in the parking lot near Brighton Pier."

Liang Xi said: "From this point of view, the murderer at the Net Red Festival was not Johnson, but Jesse."

Helen said: "We have the same opinion as you. If possible, help us find Jesse under the condition of ensuring safety."

Liang Xi said, "No problem."

The hostage crisis emergency team has come, which shows that the police have a strong force on the island, and there are also undercover agents who have infiltrated the hotel staff.Johnson has been in the clear of the camera, and the only way to kill is Jesse.Jesse should have used some kind of identity to hide in the hotel.In the case that the police search did not find him, it proved that his lethality was very strong.

The logic is correct, in line with the clues.However, Liang Xi thought that Johnson was smarter and more experienced than he thought, and he should have already estimated this situation.The current development of the situation is in Johnson's prediction.To let Johnson show his feet, the shit stick must be stepped up until it threatens Johnson's plan.The simplest principle: the situation cannot develop according to Johnson's plan.If you want a lighter, I will find a way to give you a lighter.You want tea, but I want you to drink Coke.

It is now [-]:[-] in the afternoon, and there will be another program that will enter the dinner session. The first day of the Internet Celebrity Festival has come to an end.It was a long night, not knowing what was going to happen.

……

The police detective in charge of the Internet Red Festival is an acquaintance of Liang Xi, the Kent police officer who was in charge of investigating John's death.Police officer Kent was transferred to Brighton as the deputy commander of the criminal investigation department of the police station after half a month of investigating the murder of John.Liang Xi once thought that Kent was dispatched because he found clues. After his own investigation, Liang Xi confirmed that Kent had decided to take up the post in Brighton before accepting the case.His girlfriend is from Brighton, and Kent also likes the sea. After four months of application and hearing, Kent finally got his wish.

After connecting with Kent and Helen, Liang Xi agreed to assist in the investigation of possible murders.There are three reasons for not taking money so readily.The first reason is that the police have been investigating Johnson as a suspect and have a lot of information. Kent is willing to share information with Liang Xi, and Liang Xi needs this information.The second reason is that this case aroused Liang Xi's curiosity. Liang Xi was not curious about who the murderer was, but Liang Xi was curious about how Johnson and the invisible Jesse planned to kill people?The third reason is that Kou Kou is Mary's student after all, and Mary will be sad when she dies.

Liang Xi asked: "Kent, how popular is Milu from the outlying island in Europe this afternoon?"

Kent replied: "Super popular, ranked first among the invitees. She has fans all over the world. Some foreign netizens recorded live videos, added subtitles and played them in their own countries. The number of views is still very high. Mi Lu's mother asked established an international legal team, recently dealing with international copyright issues."

Liang Xi asked, "Where's Kou Kou? My boss."

Kent replied: "If there is no such thing as an illegitimate daughter, Kou Kou is equivalent to the Seven Sisters Cliff."

Liang Xi wondered: "Where is it?" What does it mean.

Affirmed: "Seven Sisters Cliff is a scenic spot that people in Brighton basically know, and people who are not in Brighton basically don't know it. The illegitimate daughter incident is equivalent to a passenger plane crashing on Seven Sisters Cliff. The whole world has hearts and minds. Anyone who knows knows about Seven Sisters Cliff."

Liang Xi said: "She is not very popular."

Kent replied, "It's fine."

Liang Xi said: "The second show is about to start, I will observe it for a while. I am full of question marks now. I think Johnson is going to kill, but I am not sure how he will kill and who he will kill."

Kent said: "I will contact you when I have news."

……

The big table has been removed, and the Internet celebrities are sitting in the teahouse. Johnson stood in front of them and said with a microphone: "First of all, we must select a bye. The bye will not be eliminated and will not participate in the game. At the same time, he will completely I completely missed the £1 million bonus in the second show. But the bye is not without gain, because the bye is regarded as the smartest person by everyone. This show is a game, please vote now to select the bye .For reasons unfamiliar to everyone, everyone has a number plate on their left chest, please write in your ticket who you wish to expel from the second million-pound prize fight."

Johnson said: "Active participation in the game and the show is a contractual clause. There are no waiver votes for this game. You can also write yourself."

Five of the 22 Internet celebrities are from the UK, and the rest are from various European countries. In addition, there are many types of Internet celebrities, so most of them are not familiar with each other.Liang Xi had already guessed who would be the bye.The first point, because of unfamiliarity, everyone will choose from the seven people who answered the questions in the first round.

The second point, petite, beautiful and her boyfriend is a sensation, and there are also morally corrupt people among them, but this is not a moral model, so they are safe.

Among those who answered the question, Kou Kou was a bit stupid and not good at expressing herself in front of the camera, so she was naturally excluded.The best performer is the No. 1 internet celebrity.He is an Irish farmer who has made a name for himself by shooting short videos of himself and his wife's daily farm life.He is the number one candidate.

The No. 2 candidate is the No. [-] lawyer internet celebrity who speaks for Mi Lu. It is a basic ability for a lawyer to be eloquent, and he may be bye.

Liang Xi had already discovered Johnson's tampering with the question before. Lawyer No. 3 seemed to excuse Mi Lu, but in fact made Johnson ask a fatal question. Nine times out of ten, Lawyer No. 3 was in cahoots with Johnson.But it's just that he's in collusion in the show, he won't be reduced to being an accomplice of others.Therefore, the No. 3 lawyer's bye is guaranteed not to be eliminated, which is most beneficial to Johnson.

Sure enough, Johnson seemed dissatisfied with the previous lawyer's refutation of his words.While everyone was thinking, he had a few words with the lawyer without using the microphone.Liang Xi was far away and couldn't hear clearly. Watching the live broadcast probably meant that Johnson mocked the lawyer, and the lawyer responded calmly to Johnson, which made Johnson a little embarrassed.

As a result, the lawyer was elected as the bye of the second show with nearly half of the votes.
