Chapter 256 Decisive Evidence
The president waved his hand gently, and the old servant placed the paper and pen that had been prepared in front of everyone.
"Now, write down the names of the people you think are most suspicious on a piece of paper. As long as you have any suspicions, you can write them down boldly without worrying about anything."
The president ordered, "Let me see if any of you have found the murderer."
The four of them looked at each other. They didn't expect the president to use this trick. If they wrote it down, no matter whether they guessed it correctly or not, it would offend the person whose name he wrote down.
Seeing the four people looking hesitant, the president's face darkened slightly: "Why are you still standing there? Do you want me to help you write?"
Bi Lei was the first to start writing, writing down a name on the paper. Seeing this, Yi Xu and Fang Wei had to start writing as well.
The president tapped his fingers lightly on the dining table. He looked around and found that Shen Cheng had not even started writing.
He frowned and asked, "Boy, aren't you going to write?"
“Write it now.”
Shen Cheng withdrew his gaze from the others, picked up a pen and wrote a name on the paper.
After everyone had finished writing, the president leaned back in his chair and ordered, "Now, show me your papers so I can see what names you wrote."
Now that it was already written, everyone did not hesitate any longer and began to show the papers with their names written on them.
At the same time, they also looked at other people's papers, wanting to see what names others had written and whether their own names were written.
After seeing it clearly, except for Shen Cheng and the president, the other three people all showed surprised expressions on their faces.
Yi Xu's name is Bi Lei, which is reasonable. There was already a regional conflict between him and Bi Lei, and they had had many conflicts with each other.
However, Bi Lei wrote Shen Cheng's fake name, Zhong Yun. Not only him, but even Fang Wei wrote Zhong Yun's name.
What was most shocking was Shen Cheng, who actually wrote the president's name.
After being shocked, Bi Lei was the first to slam the table and glare at Shen Cheng: "How dare you suspect the CEO is the murderer!"
Shen Cheng asked back: "Why can't you doubt it?"
Bi Lei was choked for a moment. Just as he was trying to find a reason to refute, the president laughed and said, "Well said. Why can't I doubt it? I have already said that as long as you have doubts, you can write boldly without worrying about anything."
Seeing that the president said so, Bi Lei had no reason to continue to find fault with Shen Cheng.
Yi Xu found an opportunity and immediately questioned Fang Wei: "Fang Wei, we have helped you so much, why do you doubt Zhong Yun?"
"What do you mean by help me? If you are referring to the siege and killing of Gongye Si, didn't you get any benefits yourself?"
Fang Wei was quite dissatisfied with Yi Xu's questioning and asked back directly: "The president asked us to write down the most suspicious person. I now think Zhong Yun is the most suspicious. Is this wrong?"
"That's right. Isn't Zhong Yun the most suspicious person?"
Bi Lei's malicious gaze also fell on Shen Cheng: "This guy suddenly appeared after Zhu Jing's death, which is already extremely suspicious. Only a fool like you would believe him and help him deal with us colleagues."
"you!"
Faced with the two men's unreasonable arguments, Yi Xu was so angry that he was speechless.
"All right."
The president knocked on the table with his hand, interrupting the quarrel.
He turned to look at Shen Cheng: "You are the one who has the most suspicions now. Do you have anything to explain?"
"I have nothing to explain."
Shen Cheng still looked relaxed, not feeling nervous or angry at all because of Bi Lei and Fang Wei's suspicion of him.
Bi Lei immediately said: "So, you admit that you are the murderer?"
"My not explaining doesn't mean I admit it."
Shen Cheng said calmly: "The most suspected person does not mean that I am the murderer. You should come up with decisive evidence to prove that I am the murderer, instead of asking me to prove my innocence. Otherwise, everyone here is a suspect and everyone should explain themselves."
"You want conclusive evidence?"
There was excitement in Bi Lei's eyes, as if he had been waiting for Shen Cheng to say this.
He stood up, put his hands on the dining table, stared at Shen Cheng, and said loudly: "You are not the branch director Zhong Yun at all, you are the Star Ranger, is this enough evidence?"
The restaurant became quiet for a while.
Shen Cheng's leisurely demeanor finally disappeared, and his brows were slightly furrowed.
Could it be that his mind magic disguise was seen through? Otherwise, how could Bi Lei know about this?
"The Star Ranger we saw next to Zhu Jing's body that night was you. You are not Zhu Jing's servant at all."
Bi Lei continued excitedly: "So your background and everything you said are all false. You are the real murderer of Zhu Jing!"
Fang Wei, who was sitting next to her, did not show any surprise on her face.
The reason why she considered Shen Cheng the most suspicious person was because the old servant had revealed this secret to her privately in the room during the day.
Who else could a person who is full of lies, disguised himself and lurks around them be if not the murderer?
Yi Xu was probably the most shocked. He turned his head and looked at Shen Cheng with his mouth wide open. He couldn't help but ask, "Is what Bi Lei said true? Are you really the Star Ranger?"
Shen Cheng did not answer. He was still wondering when his identity was exposed.
It must be related to the old servant's strange behavior during the day. He communicated with Bi Lei and Fang Wei in the room separately, and it should be at that time that he revealed his identity to them.
That's why Bi Lei and Fang Wei looked at me with strange eyes after I walked out of the room and wrote my name on the note.
So the question is, how did the old servant who lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests know his identity thousands of miles away?
Shen Cheng looked up at the president, who happened to be looking at him.
As the two sides looked at each other, the president's originally majestic eyes turned into a teasing look: "Now that the evidence has been laid out, do you have anything else to explain?"
Facing everyone's gaze, Shen Cheng slowly stood up from his seat: "I understand. This is a Hongmen Banquet specially set up for me tonight. I didn't expect that I would become the second Gongye Si so quickly and step into the trap prepared for me."
He looked at the president again: "No need to explain, but I'm curious, how did you know my identity?"
His current situation is very similar to Gong Ye Si's before. He has stepped into a trap. It is meaningless even if he explains that he is not the murderer.
The difference is that Gongye Si fell into the trap that was supposed to deal with the murderer because of greed, while Shen Cheng encountered the Hongmen Banquet that was specially prepared for him and was aimed at him.
"When you surrender, you will know the answer."
The president waved his hand. Bi Lei and Fang Wei were already staring at Shen Cheng, ready to take action.
There was anger of being deceived on Yi Xu's face. He stared at Shen Cheng intently, but seemed to have no intention of taking action.
Shen Cheng wanted to say something, but suddenly he covered his stomach with his hands and frowned.
"The fish soup just now is poisonous!"
Shen Cheng put his other hand on the table, seeming to be a little unsteady. He looked up at the president sitting in the main seat and laughed bitterly: "A legendary vampire like you would secretly poison a junior?" "Since you dared to sneak in alone, you must have known about me."
The president smiled faintly, without any shame on his face: "Poisoning is just a means for me. There is no distinction between high and low. The key is whether it is useful or not."
From Zhu Jing's memory, we can learn that the president is a person with life-type abilities. His ability is poisonous blood, which contains extremely deadly toxins.
Not to mention the master, even a strong man who is as ace as him is very likely to be poisoned.
"what!"
Yi Xu, who was standing by, actually cried out in pain as well and covered his stomach with his hands.
He looked at the president in panic: "Why... am I poisoned too?!"
The president glanced at him and said nothing.
Bi Lei laughed: "Because you are an idiot. Not only did you not realize that the murderer was Star Ranger, but you took the initiative to vouch for him. Now you can't even tell whether the fish soup is poisonous or not. You are not qualified to continue to be the vice president."
Yi Xu ignored him and looked at the president for help: "President, I was also deceived, I..."
Before he could finish his words, blood spurted out of his mouth, and even his eyes, nose and ears were bleeding.
The next second, Yi Xu fell under the table with a thud, his breath rapidly weakening.
The poisonous blood of the ace was so terrifying that it easily killed a master.
The president looked at the scene indifferently, his fingers still tapping lightly on the table, without any fluctuation in his eyes.
It was as if the person who was poisoned was not a subordinate, but just an insignificant rat.
Fang Wei sat in her seat, her face pale and her body stiff.
If the old servant had not reminded her before the meal, she would probably have drunk the fish soup without any precautions, just like Yi Xu.
Now Fang Wei is extremely glad that she defected in time and did not join forces with Yi Xu and Shen Cheng, otherwise her fate would not be much better than Yi Xu's.
The happiest person here is Bi Lei.
Once Yi Xu dies, the outsiders in the Red Dinner Banquet headquarters will completely lose their power, and the president will not be able to make a comeback. Fang Wei, who likes to stay at home, is not worth mentioning. Apart from him, who else can take charge of the headquarters?
At this moment, Bi Lei was extremely grateful for his foresight. After receiving the secret order from the president, he decisively betrayed Gong Ye Si and eliminated a competitor.
With the support of the president behind them, both Yi Xu and Shen Cheng are just clowns.
Yesterday he was alone, but today he was the only one who had the last laugh.
"Have you laughed enough?"
The president snorted coldly and ordered, "Catch the murderer."
"Yes, President."
Bi Lei put one hand on his chest, bowed slightly to the president, then turned his head and looked at Fang Wei: "Assist me."
Fang Wei nodded and did not refuse.
Bi Lei then turned to face Shen Cheng, his arms swelled up and turned into a pair of huge claws that almost reached the ground.
With the help of Fang Wei's ability, the power he brought after his transformation increased several times, and now he has reached the threshold of an ace.
In contrast, Shen Cheng, who was poisoned, looked pale and was on the verge of collapse.
Feeling the vigorous power in his body, Bi Lei's face showed a smug expression.
"You know what? On your first day at the headquarters, I was very unhappy with you. You are just a branch director, so why are you so proud? You don't even respect me at all. But I don't blame you."
Bi Lei smiled at Shen Cheng: "After all, you are going to die, and I never bother with the dead."
Shen Cheng also forced a smile: "Well said, but the target is reversed. I will not die, but you will soon become a dead person."
Bi Lei didn't expect that Shen Cheng would be so stubborn even when he was about to die.
He didn't waste any more words and leaped into the air, smashing down towards Shen Cheng like a meteor, and chopped down with his huge claws.
Shen Cheng barely raised his hand to block.
boom!
Shen Cheng's arms were chopped off directly, and the force penetrated his body and poured into the ground, causing the ground within ten meters around him to collapse.
Bi Lei landed in front of Shen Cheng, poked forward with his claws, easily pierced Shen Cheng's body, lifted him up, and threw him heavily to the ground.
Shen Cheng was lying on the ground. Like Yi Xu, his facial features were bleeding. His breath was rapidly weakening, and soon he was breathing out more than he was breathing in.
Bi Lei was just about to continue to draw out the source blood and eternal blood from Shen Cheng's body.
"All right."
The president suddenly said, "Keep him alive for now. I have something to ask him."
Bi Lei felt a little unhappy, but he did not dare to disobey the president's order and stopped in time.
This group of vice presidents all came to the position later. Although they had heard about the president's legends and deeds, they had never seen him take action with their own eyes.
Today was the first time I saw the president’s true power. It was worthy of being the legendary poisonous blood. He easily poisoned two top masters and made them completely lose their combat effectiveness.
This also made Bi Lei and He Fangwei more respectful and fearful of the president.
"You two did a great job."
The president encouraged Bi Lei and Fang Wei in a gentle voice.
Their faces were flushed and they were inevitably a little excited, but compared to Fang Wei, Bi Lei was a little dissatisfied besides being excited.
It was obviously me who did a good job. What else did this woman Fang Wei do besides hiding at home?
He made up his mind that he would find a way to exclude Fang Wei as soon as he returned. The headquarters of the Red Dinner Party did not need a third voice besides the president and him.
The president continued, "From now on, you two don't have to worry about anything. You can take a good rest for as long as you want."
Bi Lei quickly expressed his loyalty: "President, the headquarters is busy with affairs, how can we rest at this time? We must always do our best to share your worries."
The president smiled gently: "Didn't you understand what I meant? It seems that you are not qualified to be the vice president."
Bi Lei was a little stunned. He really didn't understand what his leader meant.
Fang Wei vaguely felt that something was wrong.
She subconsciously stood up from the chair again, but suddenly her legs felt weak and she sat back down on the chair with a plop.
This situation suddenly made Fang Wei have an extremely frightening thought.
Am I poisoned too?
As if to verify this, Fang Wei felt a sharp pain starting from her abdomen, which then quickly spread to her limbs and bones. Every part of her body was in pain.
My nose suddenly felt cold and blood flowed out uncontrollably like a spring.
