980 Difficult investigation
After logging out of the game, Lin Chi logged into the chat software and immediately added the id sent by Blood Blade, and then found that the other party was still online.
Like the "wandering businessman" I just met, this person also used the initial avatar, and the nickname was a string of texts suspected to be drawn from the keyboard with a face-rolling face: tyuo12300.
——However, Blood Blade is not his "friend", and the possibility of providing false information is not low. After adding the other party, Lin Chi first tried to open the other party's personal space page, but found that he needed a password to enter.
"Can you help me in?" Lin Chi asked Frankenstein.
"Voyeurism." Frankenstein's answer was very concise.
"All right."
Seeing that Frankenstein was reluctant to help, Lin Chi didn't say much. He was about to say hello to the other party, but the other party had already sent a message:
"Hello, who are you?"
"I came here after reading the advertisement." Lin Chi sent a tentative message.
"Oh..." The other party entered quickly: "Come and buy medicine, sir."
Seeing the message sent by the other party, Lin Chi simply typed four words: "I am a girl."
"Can humans change gender quickly?" Frankenstein's voice rang.
"I'm just fooling him." Lin Chi didn't have time to talk nonsense with Frankenstein, but just continued to communicate with the other party using the chat software on his phone.
——As an old salted fish who is too lazy to socialize, Lin Chi’s information in the chat is also very simple. Apart from the nickname "Gas Can", there is basically no other information provided. The avatar is also a mango icon selected from the official avatar Curtain, and it is impossible to tell whether it is a man or a woman.
Of course, for merchants selling psychedelic agents, the gender of the customer is basically meaningless. However, what Lin Chi wants to confirm now is another possibility:
"Girl????" The other party sent a string of question marks: "Really?"
"It doesn't matter, I'm just here to buy medicine." Lin Chi reached out and tapped the "air keyboard" of the holographic projection and typed a string of words: "Well, is psychedelic agent sold here?"
"You saw the advertisement, right, right, I have psychedelics here, which guarantees you to make you more energetic." The other party immediately started selling the products: "If you need it, you can send me a red envelope directly, and then send me the address and name information, and deliver the goods to your doorstep."
——Send red envelopes?
Seeing the other party's transfer method, Lin Chi's face muscles twitched, and a feeling of pain surged in his heart.
After a few seconds of silence, he finally typed the keyboard again and entered a string of text:
"Okay, I know you're a blood blade, please stop pretending, thank you."
Generally speaking, people who trade contraband will not choose an unsafe transaction method such as sending red envelopes. Virtual currencies similar to the past "Bitcoin" and are difficult to track down are the best choice for illegal merchants.
If a real psychedelic merchant had used the method of receiving red envelopes to obtain money transfers, his true identity would have been found by the Game Administration long ago and it would not have been hidden until now.
What's more, the extremely accurate memory of Bloodblade when reporting this string of ids, and the surprise that the other party showed when he heard that "the buyer is a woman", all aroused Lin Chi's suspicion.
It would be fine if there was only one suspicious point, but if so many suspicious points were combined, the conclusion would be very obvious:
"Ha, was it exposed so soon..."
The other party admitted that he was the "blood blade" and quickly entered a string of information: "Actually, I just want to tease you. Those flaws were intentional. You kid are quite smart."
"Next time, let's find someone else to cheat." Lin Chi sighed and tapped on the projection keyboard that appeared above his phone: "I'll get it off first."
Since it has been confirmed that Blood Blade and Psychedelics have nothing to do with him, he doesn't want to talk nonsense with this woman, but Blood Blade seems to be in high spirits, and the input speed is faster than before:
"Don't leave, I still have information."
"Can you stop wasting my time?" Lin Chi shook his head.
"No, this time I'm serious, believe me, sir~" The punctuation point input by the Blood Blade looks sarcastic and reveals an unreliable atmosphere: "I admit that the id is lying to you, but I really saw the ad for psychedelics in the toilet compartment of the City of Chaos. The id at that time was forgotten by me."
"Recalling carefully, can you still remember it?" Lin Chi asked.
"I've forgotten a long time ago. I'm not a drug addict, so I don't want to remember that kind of thing." Blood Blade replied: "I didn't contact that person after the game, I just thought he was stupid..."
"Okay, thank you." Lin Chi said.
——If there is no problem with the information provided by Bloodblade this time, that is, the hope of investigating from this direction will almost disappear.
Even if the guy who knows that he sells psychedelics is advertising in the game map to attract players to buy, Lin Chi has no idea how to start in the face of dozens of maps in "War Paradise".
After all, the chances of placing a map with advertisements and accurately finding the location of the advertisements is too low. In the past dozen games, he has never seen any psychedelic advertisements at all. Now, when he comes to a passerby, the possibility of finding psychedelic advertisements is almost zero.
Perhaps, the reason why psychedelics only cause single-digit players to go crazy is that it is difficult to find advertisements. Even if someone sees them, it is very likely that they will be ignored directly as the background board in the game map.
In this way, those players who were hit are the kind of unlucky people who were idle and curious about the advertisements and ended up being unlucky. In a sense, they were also very "lucky"...
Realizing that the clue was interrupted again, Lin Chi was about to quit the chat software, but saw Blood Blade sending another message:
"Mr. Holmes, why did you investigate this?"
"Don't give me a nickname, Watson." Lin Chi retorted.
"No, no, no, I am your eldest brother, Mycroft. How are you doing recently, Sherlock?" Blood Blade joked with interest.
"Then can you tell me why psychedelics drive players crazy, brother?" Lin Chi replied.
The clues are now interrupted again. While continuing to think about the investigation plan, Lin Chi started to talk nonsense with the Blood Blade. He leaned on the sofa and looked at the front door of the living room with his godless eyes.
It seems too much to rely on yourself and Frankenstein to determine the position of the psychedelic merchant. This job is not even possible for the Game Administration. It seems that it is impossible to rely on yourself as a "amateur detective".
So, are you looking for other "foreign aid"?
While Lin Chi was thinking, he saw a message from Blood Blade:
