Pokémon: From Magikarp

In another valley far away from the Tiger Mine.

A man came here quietly. He climbed up a stone wall at great speed and entered the cave.

After leaving the cave, he looked around carefully, kept moving forward, and finally arrived at his destination, which was a large area of ​​rocky hills.

"Still worried."

At this moment, a voice came from above. The figure was suddenly startled and looked up hurriedly. He saw a man sitting on a rock on the cliff, waving at him from a distance.

"Shouldn't you go arrest Secretary Wang?"

"Uncle Tuesday."

The person on the mountain was Lin Shi, and the person who came here secretly was Zhou Qizhe who was supposed to track down the traitor.

"Lin Shi?"

"How will you be here?"

Zhou Qizhe was surprised and looked at Lin Shi in disbelief, not believing that he could find this place.

"I should be the one asking you this, Uncle Zhou Er."

Lin Shi touched his chin and looked at Zhou Qizhe below with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Qizhe asked back with a calm expression.

"Tsk tsk." Lin Shi smacked his lips and shook his head.

"Do you still want to pretend now?"

"Aren't you the biggest traitor in Jinduoduo Mining Group?"

After hearing Lin Shi's words, Zhou Qizhe's face became uncertain, but he did not deny it. After all, his appearance here at this moment already explained a lot of problems.

"How did you find out?"

Lin Shi was not surprised to see the other party admit it so generously.

"It's too much. You leave too many questions."

"Oh? Really? Then I'm all ears." Zhou Qizhe said indifferently to Lin Shi with his arms folded.

Lin Shi raised his eyebrows, paused, and then began to tell the story.

"Have you ever heard a story?"

"A murder case occurred in a city. The case was very serious, but the sheriff in charge of the case found the worst detective in the city to help solve the case."

"What do you think is the reason?"

Zhou Qizhe remained silent.

"It's okay if you don't explain. I'll help you explain it."

"That's because the real criminal in this case is actually the sheriff. He thinks that this worst detective will never be able to find out the truth, so he is absolutely safe."

"But he didn't know that he had already become a suspect when he did this."

"Don't you think they look alike?" Lin Shi raised the corner of his mouth, with a hint of teasing in his words.

"You're the sheriff, and I'm the dumb detective you think I am."

"From the day you and Zhou Wanjin came to find me, I felt something was wrong. No matter how desperate you were, you shouldn't let a high school student join the exploration team casually."

"It's okay for Zhou Wanjin to act ridiculous, but as the vice president of the group, how could you follow him and even invite him personally?"

"Unless..." Lin Shi paused and spoke in a loud voice.

“You don’t expect anyone to find a brownstone.”

"So, you chose someone who seemed absolutely impossible to find, which was me."

"In order to ensure that I would join, you even found two unreliable people to ask me about the news of Brownstone."

"Isn't it strange?"

"Since they know where I eat and that I am the one who discovered the brownstone, they don't know that I found the brownstone in an abandoned mine, which is information that anyone in the exploration team can know."

"Also, I stayed in the abandoned mine for several days, but I never saw the Minghui Mining exploration team once. This can only mean that they didn't know that the brownstone appeared there."

"If there really is a mole, this is very strange, isn't it?"

Lin Shi spoke as fast as a machine gun. Bullets began to break through Zhou Qizhe's psychological defenses, and cold sweat slowly dripped down.

"Besides, even if they were really sent by Minghui Mining, they wouldn't have chosen two people with low IQ and weak combat power. Their elf level is really too low."

"So, these two people are just like stupid detectives. They can't catch me, so they let others use them without any worries."

"They just wanted to spread the message that 'I'm being targeted' so that I would have to seek protection from the Zhou family. After all, you should have checked and know that I had friction with Liao Hui of Minghui Mining. I will never give in to him."

"You've said so much. What do you think is so special about you that I've gone to so much trouble to get you to join the exploration team?"

Zhou Qizhe has recovered at this moment. Although what Lin Shi said just now was correct, he still wants to know how much Lin Shi has discovered.

"I'm quite special." Lin Shi smiled and continued.

"First, I am the discoverer of the brownstone mine. You must have a good reason to invite me to join."

"Secondly, as mentioned above, as a high school student, I definitely don't have the ability to find mineral deposits."

"Third, I am Zhou Wanjin's friend."

After hearing Lin Shi’s last sentence, Zhou Qizhe’s expression changed slightly.

"As Zhou Wanjin's friend, if the mine is not found due to my fault, it will definitely implicate Zhou Wanjin's father, Mr. Zhou."

"If it's more ruthless, this friend of Zhou Wanjin is actually a spy sent by Minghui Mining, and even leaked the location of the mine to them, then it's more than just a simple case of being implicated."

"I heard from Zhou Wanjin that it was his father who took on the responsibility of developing Brownstone. Regardless of whether he failed to find the site or was overtaken by competitors, Mr. Zhou could not avoid being pressured by all parties, and he was even directly dismissed from his position."

"Who do you think has the best chance of getting promoted?"

"Uncle Tuesday."

Lin Shi stood up straight, looked at Zhou Qizhe, and continued without giving him a chance to react.

"In fact, Uncle, you must have found the mine a long time ago."

"Although the mine is a bit far away, it is not buried very deep. It is impossible that it could not be discovered for such a long time."

"I guess when you learned from Zhou Wanjin that I found the brownstone from an abandoned mine, you should have immediately organized people to go there for exploration."

"After successfully finding it, you did not inform Mr. Zhou, but hid it and erased all traces. This is why there is not a single brown stone in the abandoned mine now. They were found and hidden by you and your exploration team a long time ago."

"Also, Secretary Wang is one of your men, right? Otherwise, it is hard to explain why the newly formed exploration team also found nothing, unless there is something wrong with their captain as well."

"Wonderful, indeed wonderful."

Zhou Qizhe clapped his hands and admitted that he had really underestimated Lin Shi.

"Then do you know why I killed you last night?"

Lin Shi had a blank expression on his face. He raised his foot and stomped on the ground twice, then slowly spoke:

"For the land beneath my feet, which contains brownstone deposits several times or even dozens of times more than that of the Tiger-Shaped Mountain!"

"I have been confused about what happened last night, because I have already told Mr. Zhou the address of the mine I found. Killing me will be of no use in this situation. Even if I die, Mr. Zhou can still bring people here."

"Until I saw the logo of your exploration team today."

"Logo?" Zhou Qizhe was stunned and looked a little confused.

"When I first came here, I was shocked by the huge brownstone deposits, but I also found that there were traces of artificial excavation here."

"At first, I just thought it was left over from the development of other mines, until I found that the logo of your exploration team is exactly the same as the logo on the earth wall over there."

Looking in the direction Lin Shi pointed, I saw a rectangular pattern printed in the soil of the wall. It looked like it was accidentally printed by a driver...

"So I boldly guess that the mine under our feet is actually being mined, and it is being mined without the approval of the Alliance."

"enough!"

Zhou Qizhe's face looked very ugly at this moment.

But Lin Shi did not stop, instead he spoke even faster.

"So, when you heard what Mr. Zhou said to me last night, trying to get me to continue helping him detect, you panicked."

"You are afraid that I will discover this place not far from Tiger-Shaped Mountain and the huge amount of brownstone it contains."

"If I find out, not only will you lose this gold mountain and your chance to become the head of the family, but you may also be found to have been mining illegally and be ruined!"

"So, in your opinion."

"I must die!"

Lin Shi's voice echoed in the valley...
