I thought I was just playing a game

June 6, evening.

Dongjiao Homestay Villa.

The weather is not good, a sudden heavy rain in the urban area completely paralyzed the already congested evening rush hour traffic on Friday.The main road sections are full of long queues, and the color of the roads on the electronic map soars from dark red all the way to pure black.Horns and road rage coexist, and the hot and humid weather is still cheering and fueling the flames.

In short, those who have an appointment on this evening, if they do not have the habit of leaving early, are almost doomed to be late.

But only almost.

Lawyer Jin drove his new Martha and stepped into the gate of Villa No. 4 on time. After entering the password to open the electronic lock at the gate, the first thing he saw was a banner hanging in a conspicuous place—"Chengnan No. 01 Middle School The 20th Alumni Reunion in [-]".

Gold letters on a red background, rough threads, and I don't know who chose it, the aesthetics are worrying, and it's tacky to the extreme.

Lawyer Jin couldn't help but frowned in disgust. This was too out of his style. As he thought about it, he put away the black umbrella with the Martha logo on his hand. One of the gifts you want from a salesperson.The quality of the umbrella is not important, what is important is the trident icon on the umbrella body, which is low-key and luxurious, but enough for everyone to see.

Luxury cars, famous watches, and Bai Fumei are the standard equipment for successful people that Lawyer Jin aspired to acquire when he was in school.

Now that he finally succeeded, he has what he thinks is a three-piece suit.

If he doesn't show it to the whole world, he will definitely not be reconciled.

When Lawyer Jin was about to put the umbrella on the umbrella stand at the entrance, he noticed that one had already been placed there, and there was a small puddle of water under the umbrella. It seemed that someone had arrived earlier than him, who was habitually early.

Is it Yingde?When Lawyer Jin thought of this name, his frown was a little deeper than when he disliked the banner just now.

The answer came uninvited, and appeared directly in front of Lawyer Jin.It wasn't Yingde, the classmate he thought before, but Doctor Pillow, who smelled like disinfectant.Dr. Zhen leaned out from the semi-open western kitchen. He was tall and long-legged, with the same appearance, as if the years had taken special care of him. Except that he had become more mature, Dr. Zhen was in the same state as the school grass he was back then.

Lawyer Jin was very impressed with Dr. Zhen, and it could even be said that the other party was one of the reasons he agreed to attend this class reunion.It's not that they had a good friendship in school before, but that the other party is now a famous surgeon in the city.

The relationships an adult will definitely draw at a class reunion are nothing more than doctors, teachers, and civil servants.

The best doctor is a surgeon from a tertiary hospital.

No matter what, the teacher must be the main subject teacher of a school above the key district level.

Civil servants are inseparable from taxation, police and courts.

"Old classmate, it's been a long time." Attorney Jin is good at dancing, and he is a standard social monster.As soon as they met, he enthusiastically stepped forward, wanting to give Dr. Zhen an exaggerated hug, as if they were half-brothers.

Doctor Pillow, also known as Pillow Flow, habitually refused physical contact and avoided the hug.

This behavior is not too abrupt. According to the setting, Dr. Zhen is a person with a strong cleanliness habit. The reason why he has a lingering smell of disinfectant is not from the office environment of the hospital, but from his Personal choice, he'd even want to shower with disinfectant every day if he could.

Lawyer Jin fully explained what is meant by "As long as you are not embarrassed, the one who is embarrassed is someone else". After being avoided so directly, he still kept his expression on and continued to chat vigorously: "Are you the only one here?"

"It should be, not sure." Zhenliu deduced according to the content given in the biography of the character, "I just arrived a few minutes earlier than you."

Lawyer Jin thought to himself, judging from the wet water stains under the umbrella stand, Dr. Zhen was not lying on this point.

Before the two of them continued to exchange pleasantries, the voice of a loud phone call came down from the second floor.Before the person arrived, the voice came first, which can be said to be extremely arrogant: "Oh, I said, man, why are you in a hurry? I promise, I will have a lot of money soon, and the only thing I owe you is to sprinkle water. Not yet? Why did I lie to you? If I don’t plan to pay it back, do you think you can still get through to my phone now? Right, that’s the reason, just relax 120 times, and I definitely won’t run away. "

This is Yingde, the deceased who is destined to be cold tonight.

In the biography of Dr. Zhen, he only saw Yingde once or twice in the 20 years after graduation. The quasi-deceased was neither tall nor short, neither thin nor fat, and average in all aspects. Very average. Dr. Zhen had almost no impression of him when he was in school. He only knew that he was a very gossipy person. After graduation, Yingde seemed to have worked as a gossip reporter for a while.

Doctor Zhen and Lawyer Jin recognized Yingde at a glance as Yingde's characteristic, that is, there is a big black spot on his chin, which looks like the dog traitor who saddled the imperial army in the anti-Japanese film.

Yingde also recognized the two old classmates downstairs at a glance, and his smile was piled on his face, not the kind of friendly smile, nor was it asking for others, it was more like looking at the money he kept in the bank .As he walked down the stairs, he opened his arms and exaggeratedly said: "Big doctor, big lawyer, busy people, I am really touched that you can come to attend the class reunion in person."

It's not just coming, the class reunion is actually tomorrow night, and the few of them came the night before to help with the preparations, purely voluntary, and paid out of their own pockets.

The initiator of the classmate association is Ying De, who suddenly became rich.

Lawyer Jin put away the dislike just now, and eagerly stepped forward to communicate with him, as if there was a strong relationship between them.One brother for each bite, and one brother for each bite. If there are yellow paper and chicken heads in the villa, I'm afraid they will be sworn brothers on the spot.

According to the personality of Zhenliu, Yingde didn't put on a good face. Dr. Zhen is not a character who can flirt with others, but when Yingde strongly asked to shake hands with him for the second time, Dr. Zhen reluctantly touched it. side, then went up to the third floor, went to the pre-arranged room, and ignored the two people downstairs.

Yingde laughed even louder. He knew that Dr. Zhen was a clean freak, that is to say, he did it on purpose.

An hour later, Zhenliu, who had changed into another outfit, came out of the room with red hands.The big living room downstairs was very noisy, it seemed that many people came.

As a result, as soon as he reached the corner of the corridor, Zhenliu almost bumped into someone.

The other party opened the door suddenly and was caught off guard.

Doctor Zhen hurriedly retreated, his first reaction was to be glad that he didn't really get in touch with the other party, and he didn't have to change his clothes again.The second reaction is to see who you bump into.

The other party was half a head taller than the not-so-low Pillow Doctor, and his figure was a bit thin, but from the muscle lines exposed by the shirt, it could be seen that the other party was not as easy to bully as he appeared on the outside.On top of the good figure, there is also an equally eye-catching good face. The rimless glasses cover the sharpness of the eyes, leaving only the silence and gentleness of the years.

"Are you okay, pillow..."

The other party accurately called Dr. Zhen's last name, but unfortunately, Dr. Zhen did not recognize the other party as his old classmate: "You are?"

"You definitely don't remember me. My surname is Lu, and I'm a teacher in a university now."

The preoccupied Professor Lu.

Zhenliu, however, got the information about the character right away. The biography did not say that Professor Lu's appearance is so outstanding.Combined with the arrogant character shown by the other party in the answering session, he seems to be a completely different person at this moment. He looks like an honest and responsible professor, taciturn and non-aggressive.

Zhenliu went downstairs side by side with the other party, and at the same time inquired about the known information with the other party: "When did you come? Have they arrived yet?"

Professor Lu was very cooperative, and he looked like he knew everything about Zhenliu: "I should have arrived after you. Yingde said you went upstairs. It's a pity that I didn't see you right away. You. Qiao Basketball and Zhao Erdai are both behind me. They said they met while walking on the road, so they came together. Qiao Basketball brought milk tea, and Zhao Erdai asked the housekeeper and bodyguards to bring ingredients. The momentum was very large. "

When they reached the second floor, Lawyer Jin just walked out of the room and joined the procession of going downstairs together.

"I just had a headache, so I wanted to go back to the house, take some medicine and have a rest." Lawyer Jin didn't need anyone to ask, he took the initiative to explain the reason for going back to the house.

To be honest, not greeting people below is really not in line with Lawyer Jin's personality as a young sociable expert.

When Lawyer Jin joined, the pattern of the three going downstairs became Lawyer Jin at the head, Doctor Zhen in the middle, Professor Lu was like a silent shadow, always protecting behind Doctor Zhen, he had no sense of harmony at all. The talkative doctor pillow has completely turned into a taciturn and preoccupied person.

Therefore, no matter how much Attorney Jin tried to mobilize the atmosphere, he was still a clever woman who couldn't cook without rice when the other two were not cooperative.

Fortunately, the stairs were not too long, and they came to the hall in no time.

Downstairs, Yingde was shouting at Joe Basketball, who is now a basketball coach. This big guy was the tallest of them all, almost two meters one.Tall and big, but matched with a somewhat wimpy personality.At least in Zhenliu's biography, the role he played was judged in this way.

But obviously the player playing Joe Basketball is not a very tolerant person.After a few words, he got seriously angry and almost started fighting with the NPC.

The noise Zhenliu felt just now was caused by Yingde and Qiao Basketball.

I don't know if it's the program setting or what. Yingde was almost beaten by Joe Basketball. After all the people were gathered, he started to focus on Joe Basketball again, saying that everyone was a successful person after graduation, and only one Joe basketball, I hope he can work harder.

Joe Basketball's fist was hard again.

While recording the interactions of several people, Zhenliu was also observing the environment on the first floor. At this time, the place has taken on a new look and is filled with all kinds of things. There are new decorations that have not yet been arranged, and some tables are piled up Melon and fruit snacks, as well as luxurious dinners that have been set up one after another.Of course, it wasn't picked up by any old classmate, but someone brought by the rich second generation surnamed Zhao.

Zhao Erdai's housekeeper and bodyguard left after doing everything.So, at the final dinner table, there were only five players left, and one victim tonight.

Quasi. The victim Yingde raised his glass. Zhenliu noticed that what he opened was the wine he put in the kitchen before. It was a bottle of red wine sent by the family members of Dr. Zhen’s patient in order to thank him. The vintage was good and the taste was said to be Also very mellow.Dr. Zhen didn't drink, so he brought it along with him when he was buying wine. He planned to serve it at the class reunion tomorrow night, but Yingde had already drank it on his own.

I don't know where Yingde found the goblet for the red wine, it wasn't the paper cup they agreed to bring over in advance.

"Come on, students, let's raise our glasses."

The faces of the five people sitting on the scene were all different, and Joe Basketball laughed very loudly, but in the end, under the insistence of Yingde's slightly threatening words, even Professor Lu, who seemed to be the least face-saving, followed in the ceremony. He picked up the cup in his hand.Even though Dr. Zhen has a cleanliness habit, he still picked up the goblet with a cloth.

Yingde looked very happy, he looked down at the famous people on campus, at this moment they are all like dolls in his dollhouse, he took a deep breath complacently, pouted his stomach, and raised his glass with his left hand: "Respect friendship."

Everyone echoed in unison: "Respect friendship."

The next day, before dawn, accompanied by a scream that pierced through the roof of the entire villa, this person who had just begun to respect friendship was found dead in the room on the second floor.

And the other five people whom he respected were the ones who were suspected of killing him.

There is no such thing as a good banquet, but that is the case.
