Chapter 167 Incremental
The [-]nd Internet Celebrity Festival has already started to spread the sky and cover the publicity. This time the Internet Celebrity Festival will come to the big guys who started with millions of fans in Europe.What is the concept of millions of fans?Taking Xiami as an example, a thousand subscriptions is enough for him to survive. It is conceivable how much a millionaire fan is worth, and the income of one person is enough to support a thousand Xiami.

Not only that, most of the participants were leading figures from various sectors, the king of talk shows, the little prince of death, the queen of waves, the queen of innocent love, Frankenstein, etc. There were [-] guests in total.

They arrived in Brighton one week before the Internet celebrity festival.The police are on high alert, and the Metropolitan Police Frontline Command has taken all the property to Brighton.Not only the police, but the majority of netizens are convinced that the flamingo will inevitably reappear in the second Internet celebrity festival.also
In addition to the Internet celebrities who were invited to Brighton, some small anchors also came to Brighton to catch traffic.Some people perform performance art outside the hotel where Internet celebrities stay, pretending to be mentally retarded or disabled to gain attention.There are also small anchors who attack the police in live broadcasts in order to become famous.At the same time, there are also many Internet celebrity wires flocking to Brighton.They are either members of the support group, or they just want to meet their idols.

For a time, three religions and nine streams gathered in Brighton, making the Internet celebrity festival the biggest focus in Europe at present.The highlight of this Internet celebrity festival is that in addition to the flamingo that everyone guesses can appear at any time, the bonus of up to 20 million pounds has also become a talking point for everyone.According to professional analysis, judging from the traffic currently attracted by the Internet celebrity festival, Johnson can earn at least five 20 million in the Internet celebrity festival.

Although the police controlled the live broadcast of the flamingo, the video of the flamingo appeared on the Internet five days before the festival started.The protagonist of this video is the No. 6 scientist who appeared in the first Internet celebrity festival.The video is like a trailer, and the clips are cut and subtitled. It seems to tell everyone that the theme of the second Internet celebrity festival is to save scientist No. 6.

There are still 24 hours before the opening of the second Internet celebrity festival. The police officially responded to the live broadcast rumors at a press conference. The British police will not allow any crime to be broadcast live, nor will it allow any crime to set up a vote.

A reporter asked, if the flamingos demanded to start the live broadcast as a hostage, would the police agree?

The assistant to the new director of the frontline police department is a woman wearing glasses, and she calmly replied: "I will not agree."

A reporter hangs up the phone and raises his hand, asking: "If Flamingo takes the royal family hostage and asks to start a live broadcast, will the police agree?"

The assistant asked back: "Do you have such news?"

The reporter replied: "I just received an anonymous call from someone who claimed to be a flamingo. He said he wanted the police to answer this question directly. If the police disagreed, he would kill the members of the British royal family he kidnapped after the Internet celebrity festival began. .”

The assistant immediately said: "This is the end of the press conference."

The reporter asked: "Please answer the question."

The assistant ignored the reporter, got up and left the press conference.She needs reporters to deliver information, she doesn't need reporters to ask questions.

……

Liang Xi and Karin sat on the sofa, eating salted duck and watching the press conference.Karin was very busy at work that day, and felt sorry for not savoring the salted duck carefully, so today's dinner is still salted duck.

Liang Xi switched the signal to the Internet Red Festival channel, and randomly selected a video related to Kou Kou.Karin asked: "The flamingos kidnapped the royals?"

Liang Xi: "It's hard to say whether it's true or not, but we can see the flamingo's way of committing crimes: using life to represent the inequality between people. If the police department compromises, it means that the lives of royal family members are extremely sacred. If the police department Without compromise, members of the royal family are killed, and the new director's career will be in great trouble."

Karin tore off a piece of duck meat and sent it to Liang Xi's mouth. Liang Xi mischievously sucked Karin's finger, and Karin slapped Liang Xi. It was not painful but very sweet.Karin watched TV: "You seem to have a soft spot for Kou Kou."

Liang Xidao: "Kou Kou is the only one who has experienced cyber violence among the invited Internet celebrities, and she is also the biggest winner of the first Internet celebrity festival. I can't help but notice her. If I guessed correctly, the second Internet celebrity The victims of festivals, or the first victims should be trolls. But I can't guess how they will play. Before I thought that Johnson spent a lot of money on Internet celebrity festivals, the purpose was to vent his anger. Now I have to admit that I am Stupid, because Johnson seems to be trying to make money."

Liang Xi said: "I changed my mind to think that Johnson is probably not the culprit, he is just a businessman. But this cannot explain the internet celebrity killer."

Karin looked at Liang Xi who was thinking, and asked, "Is it possible that Johnson is both an Internet celebrity killer and a businessman?"

Liang Xi did not answer directly: "The flamingo factor makes it difficult for me to judge Johnson's situation. I intuitively think that there should be two groups of people in the second Internet celebrity festival." Liang Xi read this from Thresh's information. a message.

Karin asked, "Johnson and Orphan?"

"No, the Lonely Elderly Society is just the operator and executor." Liang Xi's phone vibrated, glanced at the number, then at Karin, hesitating for a moment, finally answered the phone, and turned on the speakerphone: "Hi."

Thresh: "Where are you?"

Liang Xi replied, "At home."

Thresh: "Fack."

Liang Xi: "Fake oil."

Thresh: "Don't you know the game has started?"

Liang Xi questioned: "There are still 24 hours until the Internet celebrity festival officially begins."

Thresh: "I mean, don't you know the game has started?"

Liang Xi replied: "I don't know, what game?"

Thresh said: "Dell, the new director of the frontline police department, hasn't looked for you?"

Liang Xi asked back: "My special, what's the matter?"

Thresh said: "We have notified the front-line police department three hours ago and asked them to invite you to participate in the game. Let me briefly introduce that we have hostages in our hands. The time is based on each unit of the Internet Red Festival. The unit is about to execute a hostage. The police need to follow the prompts and find the hostage before the end of each link."

Liang Xi said: "It sounds a bit wrong."

Thresh said: "Yes, I seem to be treated as a tool." For example, a wrench is one of the tools. The wrench knows that its goal is to turn a screw, but the wrench does not know and does not need to know what the purpose of turning the screw is.

Thresh said: "Now I need you to follow the steps and join the game of finding hostages."

Liang Xi said, "Just tell me the location."

Thresh said: "I'll tell you the address, and you take me and the hostages directly." Leave the hostages to Liang Xi?Then the task will fail.Don't think that Liang Xi and Thresh are friends, Liang Xi will never let go of the opportunity to capture Thresh.

Karin seriously ate the salted duck and watched TV, neither asking nor watching Liang Xi.

Hearing what Thresh said, Liang Xi seemed to understand something, and he solved the previous puzzle.What is the relationship between Internet celebrity killers, Johnson, and flamingos?The answer to the puzzle is an increasing relationship.For example, there is a person who sells chaos on the street, and the business is good. Some people think it tastes good, so they invest and open a store with this person.A thoughtful businessman discovered the store, found the owner, and a franchise store emerged.

This farce started from the Internet celebrity killer, upgraded to the Internet celebrity festival and the flamingo, and this time a new shareholder was added, and some people wanted to use the Internet celebrity festival to cause trouble.Even the holy flag has this kind of thinking.As a detective, you must consider a problem: Internet celebrity killers, Internet celebrity festivals, and the second Internet celebrity festival have different purposes.

Liang Xi analyzed according to this line of thought, and his conjecture was correct.Johnson and his brother-in-law Jesse are Internet celebrity killers.The protagonist of the Net Red Festival has transformed into a flamingo.As a supporting role, Johnson assists Flamingo to do bad things, earns money and at the same time conceals his identity as an Internet celebrity killer.Who is the protagonist of the second Internet celebrity festival?
I don't know, no one knows yet, including Thresh.

Liang Xi said: "A new force has intervened in the Internet celebrity festival, and the purpose is unknown."

Thresh asked: "Because it's different from the first Internet celebrity festival?"

Liang Xi said: "That's right, the models of the first Internet celebrity festival and Internet celebrity killer are also different."

Thresh said: "OKOK, we don't care how many. Now Dell won't let you participate in the game, what should we do?"

Liang Xi asked, "What's the first game?"

Thresh said: "Among the serving police officers with the rank of Chief Superintendent and above, one of the police officers' immediate family members has been kidnapped. Please fill in the date of birth of the kidnapped and send it to the designated mailbox. If it is correct, the hostage will be released. There are a total of Three wrong chances, every wrong one, the hostage will have a body part removed, three wrong answers, the hostage will be executed. The time is limited to the opening time of the Internet celebrity festival, tomorrow Saturday night at [-]:[-]."

Liang Xi asked, "Who is it?"

Thresh replied, "I don't know either."

Liang Xi asked, "Is the hostage not in your hands?"

Thresh replied: "Before the game started, I received the hostages. The hostages were wrapped in black cloth bags, wearing big robes, in a coma, and tied into a cross."

Liang Xi said, "Open the black cloth bag to see who it is." You Thresh won't cheat?
Thresh was silent for a while: "Liang Xi, I am also a part of their game. They want me to kill people. There are cameras here to monitor every move of me and my subordinates. I need you to rescue him."

Liang Xi asked curiously, "What did you do?"

Thresh: "Forcing the palace. At first I thought I won, but I didn't expect them to make a move."

"Wait." Liang Xi whispered in Karin's ear, "Can you contact Yisha?"

"Hmm." If Liang Xi didn't say anything, Karin would pretend she didn't hear. She didn't want to use Liang Xi's trust in her to steal Liang Xi's information, unless it was related to national security.

Liang Xi continued on the phone: "In this case, you have to pay more."

Thresh anger: "Compared to being blackmailed by you, I think it's better to kill him. But you remember, this man was killed because of your greed for money."

Liang Xi was unmoved and asked, "Didn't you get killed because you were stingy?"

Thresh said: "Liang Xi, you must be trustworthy in life. We have agreed before that one life is ten thousand."

Liang Xi said, "That's because I don't know your situation."

Thresh said, "But you agreed."

Liang Xi said: "The rules remain the same, one life is [-] pounds."

Thresh was silent for a moment, and asked, "Will Bobby help you pay?"

Liang Xi was surprised: "You also know this?"

Thresh burst into tears: "Liang Xi, I don't have time to discuss this issue, can you find a way to contact the police?"

Liang Xi asked, "How do you know that the police won't enter the correct number?"

Thresh said, "Because I don't think this question is that simple."

Liang Xi said: "I will communicate with the police, but I can't guarantee whether the police will look up to me. I'll hang up first, and I'll email you if I have any news."

Liang Xi hung up the phone.Karin said to wait for the phone, and then introduced the current situation to Liang Xi: "People above the chief superintendent are contacting their immediate family members. A commander (one level higher than the chief superintendent, the highest commander of the frontline command) It is an assistant director, and there is a deputy assistant director. The boss of the assistant director’s department is the commander.)’s 19 years old daughter went to Brighton to participate in the Internet celebrity festival carnival. During the phone call, the technician judged the commander’s status from the instrument The daughter uses an unnatural voice." In short, someone recorded the daily voice of the commander's daughter and used the typing voice to talk to the commander.

Karin said: "Isha told me that the situation is a bit chaotic now. The new director Dale asked the police officers above the chief superintendent under him to find a way to meet all his immediate family members. Everyone's situation is different, and some people's parents are abroad. Some people's parents are in remote towns, and some people's children have run away from home. As the strength of the frontline police department is invested in Brighton, judicial agencies such as the Special Operations Department are assisting police officers to confirm the current situation of immediate family members. "

Karin said again: "Isa recommended you to Dell, but Dell thinks that the most important thing to do now is to confirm the immediate family members of the police officer, rather than let a detective determine who is missing."

Liang Xi reached out and took the phone: "Isa, don't worry. The first dish is just an appetizer, which made you flustered for a while, and at the same time told you that they are for real. The other party gave 24 hours in particular, it is worth pondering."

Isa asked: "You mean the bad guys look down on us? I'm afraid we won't be able to enter the correct number within 24 hours."

Liang Xi laughed: "I just don't think it's that simple."

Isa said: "Let me ask a question, how did you know about this?"

Liang Xi replied: "Isa, I am a detective and know everything."

Isa said: "Well, you know everything. If you have anything to do, you can contact me directly. Karin, you must go back to your job. Since the Flamingo starts the game 24 hours in advance, maybe the Holy Banner will also be in advance. Attack the hospital. Anti-terrorism is our main business." The plan has been arranged, and the gangsters are waiting for themselves to fall into the trap.

Liang Xi said: "I think this group of people may not be flamingos."

Liang Xi told Isa about her thoughts, and Isha said: "I think your opinion is right. How about it, Fiona recommended a netizen to take up her position temporarily. She is the boss of Diamond Network Security Company. She is the only one in the company. I don't have time to find out about her details, and it is impossible for her to really replace Fiona, so I will send someone to you."

Liang Xi: "Understood."

Robert's voice came: "The hourly wage."

Liang Xi laughed loudly: "Robert, you're offended by saying that."

Robert: "Good job and bonus."

Liang Xi said: "Hurry up, let someone come over." This kind of money with both fame and fortune is the most enjoyable.Not only contribute to the country, the people, and the society, but also collect money confidently without paying taxes.

　What, this, money is tight at the beginning of the month, and I don’t know if there is any surplus food at the end of the month. I forgot which two leaders needed to be added last month...

　　There are some things, everyone understands it.

　　For example, if I borrow 100,000 yuan from the bank, I have to pay it back, and I will not be sanctioned as scum.If I owe the bank one billion, I can't pay it anyway, right?

　　There is no other meaning to the above. Please don't worry the leaders. At present, there is not much owed. Even if it is not paid this month, it can be paid next month.
