Story Club: Game of Death

　　Geng Cheng was upset after being laid off, and on this day he had a fight with his wife again, and he threw up his hands and went out of the door in a huff.

　　After going out, he wandered aimlessly through the streets, and unconsciously came to a small alley called Ziyun Pavilion. Suddenly, Geng Cheng saw a man walking in front of him shake a few times, and then fell to the ground. He hurried over, only to see that it was a well-dressed middle-aged man, now lying on his back on the ground, with his mouth wide open, and a delicate lockbox next to him. Geng Cheng probed the man's sniffles and was surprised to find that he had stopped breathing. Geng Cheng had never encountered such a thing in his life, his heart was beating like a drum, and the tip of his nose was sweating.

　　Just when Geng Cheng was helpless, the lockbox jumped into his sight, and the strange thing was that the lid was half open. As soon as Geng Cheng lifted the lid with his hand, a dazzling light shone through his eyes, and the box was filled with jewelry! How much is this worth, I can't earn it for a lifetime! Geng Cheng's heart beat even harder, and his hands kept shaking, as if he was holding a pack of explosives that had been lit with leads. Somehow, he suddenly tucked the box into his arms, let go of his steps and walked out of the alley.

　　Just after taking a few steps, Geng Cheng heard the footsteps of chasing behind him, and there were still people shouting faintly: "Wait... Wait a minute..." He didn't dare to look back, quickened his pace, and ran out of the alley with a puff of smoke.

　　When he got home, it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon, and Geng Cheng knew that his wife must have gone to buy vegetables at that time, so he closed the door and eagerly poured out all the contents of the lockbox. Diamond rings, jade bracelets, gemstone necklaces... While flipping the jewelry with his trembling hand, Geng Cheng thought: I am not stealing or robbing, but God sees that I gave it to me pitifully. Thinking like this, Geng Cheng was a little calm again.

　　He continued to search the table when he suddenly saw a business card fall in the corner of the table. Geng Cheng picked it up and looked at it, only to see that it said: Qian Baiwan, general manager of Hongxin Jewelry Company. It turned out to be the boss of the jewelry store, so it was no wonder that he carried so many valuable things with him. Just thinking, another small card next to the business card caught Geng Cheng's attention, only to see that the card read impressively: "I am not dead, I suffer from the special symptoms of ankylosing fainting." Once this disease strikes, its symptoms often mislead people into thinking that I am dead. If you find my body, please tell Dr. Zhang Zhongde quickly. I should be thankful afterwards! Remember! ”

　　The card also conspicuously printed Dr. Zhang's contact address and telephone number. Geng Cheng was so shocked that he didn't come back for half a day, he didn't expect that the person was not dead, or if he wasn't rescued in time, he would undoubtedly die. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get scared: If I didn't send him to the hospital, didn't I become a murderer? Thinking of the seriousness of the matter, he pulled out his leg and ran outside.

　　Geng Cheng's taxi hurried to the place where the stranger had fainted. He didn't want the driver to see where he was going, so he got out of the car early at a nearby intersection. After getting out of the car, he walked unhurriedly like a street, and only turned a corner at the corner.

　　Entering the alley, Geng Cheng took a look: the alley was empty, and the place where Qian Baiwan fell was now parked in a police car!

　　Geng Cheng rarely dealt with the police in his life, but now he had to learn about the situation from them.

　　"Comrade, what's going on here?" Geng Cheng asked stutteringly.

　　"Someone fainted here just now, and now his life and death are unknown." The police said, "We've sent him away first, can you give some clues about this?" ”

　　"No, no, I don't know anything, I just heard the sirens and came to see..." Geng Cheng said and waved his hand continuously.

　　Geng Cheng's face tried his best to pretend that he didn't care about himself, but his legs couldn't help but tremble and his steps faltered. "I'm a murderer!" This terrible thought flashed through his mind from time to time.

　　Just when Geng Cheng wanted to leave this place of right and wrong, another voice came from behind: "Please wait!" Geng Cheng looked back and saw that it was the policeman just now. He walked over to Geng Cheng and said kindly, "Just now you seem to be very concerned about the person who fainted, do you have any situation to reflect?" You say it, and maybe I can help. ”

　　"I, I..." Geng Cheng hesitated for a moment, and finally plucked up the courage to say, "I want to tell you, in fact, the person you just took away... He, he's still alive. You may think he's dead, but in fact he just fainted..."

　　"What are you kidding?" Listening to Geng Cheng's words, the police were surprised and had a look of disbelief.

　　Geng Cheng scratched his neck uneasily: "Where, I am telling the truth." This man is sick, he is often sick, you must not cremate him, he must not be cremated..."

　　The policeman was silent for a while, as if considering something. After a while, he finally said, "Can you come with me and tell me in detail what you know?" ”

　　What to do? There is no choice but to go to the public security bureau and make it clear in person. Geng Cheng believed that he could explain the ins and outs of the matter clearly, and if he acted cleverly, he might be able to hide the lockbox. Most importantly, before the cremation of Qian Baiwan...

　　In the public security bureau, a tall man known as "Captain Liu" received Geng Cheng. Geng Cheng said that Captain Liu was "brushing" the record on a notebook.

　　"In ziyun pavilion, right?" Middle-aged man, not very tall, in his fifties? ” 　　

　　"That's right, it's him!"

　　"You think he's not dead yet?"

　　"I know he's definitely not dead!"

　　"I'm afraid it's impossible." Captain Liu closed his note, "When we found this man, he was dead, he had no pulse, and his breathing stopped." Just now, the doctor confirmed that he had died, and the cause of death was a heart attack. His body is now parked in the morgue, waiting to be cremated — so your fears are unfounded, so go back and rest..."

　　What the? In the morgue, waiting for cremation? Geng Cheng was anxious: "What I said is true, I have seen this person's condition card, which is in his lockbox..."

　　"Lockbox? We didn't find out that he had any lockbox..." Captain Liu looked at Geng Cheng suspiciously, "What the hell is going on?" ”

　　Oops, at this time Geng Cheng found that he had slipped his mouth, and the matter had reached this point, and he could only explain it truthfully.

　　"Lockbox, I took it." Geng Cheng said with a dejected head, "At that time, I thought that this person was dead, and things would be useless to him." Now I have only one request: get an experienced doctor! ”

　　Captain Liu looked thoughtfully at Geng Cheng, then picked up the phone: "Xiao Li? Is the body that was just sent still with us? Still here? That's great! He put down the phone and said to Geng Cheng, "Please come with me." ”

　　Geng Cheng went out with Captain Liu through the reception room and walked outside. After a while, they came to a dark corridor, and Captain Liu opened a frosted glass door and led Geng Cheng into a basement.

　　"Please come here."

　　Captain Liu pulled open a freezer and ripped off the sheets covering the body.

　　"Do you know this person?" Captain Liu asked.

　　Geng Cheng swallowed a mouthful of spit and looked at it with courage, just this glance, Geng Cheng was confused: "No, no, no, not him, he is not Qian Baiwan!" The man in the freezer had a thin face and a blue birthmark on the side of his nose, he was not the middle-aged man that Geng Cheng saw!

　　"Qian Baiwan? Of course he is not, his name is Gou San, we are old acquaintances. Captain Liu looked at Geng Cheng in surprise.

　　"Old acquaintance?"

　　"Yes, Gou San is a habitual thief, and I don't know how many times we have caught him." This time, he committed a crime near the Ziyun Pavilion and suffered a heart attack while escaping, which was entirely his own fault. Captain Liu said solemnly.

　　Geng Cheng's whole body began to tremble and murmured, "This is impossible, it is impossible..." If the person lying here is Gou San, what about Qian Baiwan? Where is he now? Dead or Alive? Geng Cheng was stunned.

　　Back in the bureau, facing the majestic characters on the wall, "Confess and be lenient, resist strictly", Geng Cheng told the details of the incident with trepidation.

　　After Captain Liu listened, he frowned: "This matter is a little complicated." "It seems that only by finding the man named Qian Baiwan can the mystery be solved." Under the arrangement of Captain Liu, everyone soldiers acted in several ways.

　　The police first looked up Qian Baiwan's jewelry company based on the address on the card, and soon found that it was a fake address. Captain Liu dialed Dr. Zhang Zhongde's phone again, but the other party told him that Dr. Zhang was not there and that he was on vacation in Xishuangbanna. Captain Liu asked if he knew about a patient named Qian Baiwan, but he got a reply that he had never heard of this person.

　　At this time, Captain Liu's assistant had already accompanied Geng Cheng to bring the lockbox back to the Public Security Bureau. After identification, the jewelry in the box was fake and not valuable. Geng Cheng was very angry, he didn't expect that he had actually been deceived. It is no wonder that at that time, Geng Cheng saw so many jewels at once, and he was overjoyed, where would he carefully distinguish its authenticity!

　　Just as the case was at an impasse, a criminal police officer came in to report that a television director had asked for clarification at the door. television station? Geng Cheng was even more confused, and Captain Liu thought about it and waved his hand to invite him in.

　　When the director entered the door, he introduced himself as Zheng, and he asked for a video before giving his explanation of the case. As he spoke, the cameraman who was traveling with him took the tape from the camera and borrowed the equipment of the Public Security Bureau to play it.

　　Everyone didn't look at it or tighten it, and after watching it, they were all stunned: the scene of Geng Cheng taking away the middle-aged man's lockbox in the Ziyun Pavilion clearly appeared on the screen. After the video was released, the director apologetically explained that this was actually a new program set up by the TV station to increase the ratings, and the theme was to test how an ordinary person would react when faced with a large amount of wealth.

　　In order to enhance the authenticity of the program, the cameraman secretly filmed in a state of unknown to the subject of the test. The so-called Qian Baiwan is actually disguised by actors, and jewelry is of course only a worthless fake. According to the shooting plan, when Geng Cheng took the lockbox, the director should come out of the hiding place to explain the truth to him, but they did not expect geng Cheng to run faster than the rabbit, and the TV station staff did not catch up. Just when the director did not know whether to continue shooting, there were new situations such as the habitual illness of Gou San and the return of Geng Cheng, and the director immediately decided to plan and shoot all the processes.

　　The truth came out, Geng Cheng bowed his head in chagrin, and Director Zheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Old Geng, your behavior has taught us a lesson. If you agree, we want to make a documentary about everything that happened to you, and I have the title of the film, it's called "Game of Death", how about it? ”

　　"That's a good idea." Captain Liu answered the phone on the side, "But Director Zheng, are you also suspected of disturbing public order by making programs in this way?" On this issue, I would like to ask you to stay first, and then we will talk about it in detail..."

　　"Huh?" Director Zheng was dizzy...
