Chapter 6: Must Contact That Buyer!

~8 min read 1,499 words

Seeing his parents speaking up for him, Liu Xu, who had already been scared pale, seemed to suddenly find his courage.

At this moment, he kept saying, "It's true, Officer, this account was mine to begin with, and the game officials don't support account trading, so I used my Real-name Registration to get it back; how is that theft!"

Liu Xu spoke quickly and urgently; although Liu Jianguo and his wife still didn't quite understand, they at least had a starting point.

Being surrounded by a crowd and constantly argued with, even a veteran criminal investigator like Lao Zhang found it a bit unbearable.

The key was that many people were watching, so Lao Zhang could only signal to the apprentice beside him to make sure the body camera was aimed correctly.

"Stop arguing, Teacher Zhou, and Teacher Liu, right now, this is a Criminal Case detention; if you have anything to say, you can use legal channels to protect your legitimate rights and interests, instead of yelling in front of me!"

After all, he was a veteran criminal investigator; although he usually looked smiling and kind-hearted, when he got angry, that aura could truly intimidate people!

"Cuff him and take him back!"

Colleagues from Jingzhou City would be arriving soon, and he could not afford any more delays.

The young criminal investigator behind him had already taken out the Handcuffs and stepped forward to cuff Liu Xu.

Suddenly, Liu Xu, who had been rambling on, was dumbfounded.

Handcuffs, along with the interrogation table and interrogation chair in the interrogation room, basically made up the Regret Series.

For example, some internet celebrity who acts all high and mighty online, being arrogant and overbearing, spouting nonsense that you can call the police all you want, and that he isn't afraid at all.

But, when they put on these "regret bracelets" and sit in the Regret Chair, that expression, that contrast between before and after, is truly extremely vivid!

Therefore, after being put in Handcuffs, Liu Xu was completely stunned.

"Officer, Officer, please wait and let Xiao Xu finish, this matter..."

However, Zhou Chun's words were cut off directly by Lao Zhang before he could finish!

"This is my final Warning; this is the Public Security Bureau carrying out an arrest. You two, if you continue to obstruct, that will be Obstruction of Official Business, and I will take you both away too, understand!"

"This is not a joke!"

With an extremely serious expression, he dropped these words, grabbed Liu Xu, put the phone logged into the account into an evidence bag, and then left directly.

Some people just keep pushing their luck; he had originally intended to show some consideration for their face and take the person back quietly.

But he didn't expect them to keep going; don't they know what a Criminal Case detention is? They were still there saying it was a mistake.

Lao Zhang really couldn't be bothered with nonsense; he had already been very polite, but these two seemed a bit confused, not knowing the meaning of the four words "Criminal Case detention," and had even forgotten the meaning of the police!

Liu Xu was taken away, and Zhou Chun and his wife stood there blankly, not knowing what to do.

Suddenly, Liu Jianguo seemed to remember something and hurriedly said, "Xiao Wu, you guys are all Xiao Xu's best friends, tell us what exactly is going on..."

These few, who had also been startled by the scene just now, started speaking one after another.

"It's like this, Auntie, Liu Xu should have sold a 'Genshin' account last year, I remember it was last year..."

Listening to Liu Xu's friends, Zhou Chun and Liu Jianguo's eyes grew brighter, and they suddenly said, "So, if we can return the account and let that... that buyer stop making trouble, would Xiao Xu be okay?"

"After all, Xiao Xu didn't do anything; he's still a child, just started university, and his life has only just begun."

"And it's just an account, it wasn't broken, how is that theft."

"Oh right, do you know how to contact that buyer?"

The friend called Xiao Wu shook his head and said, "We don't know about that; it should have been sold through some trading platform. You can hire a Lawyer to ask Liu Xu."

…………

Jingzhou City, inside a rented room.

Zhou Yi, who had just finished editing, stretched comfortably.

This video was different from his previous ones; before, they were all just game videos that could be edited casually.

This time, it was all filmed by himself; it needed voice-overs, memes, and had to reflect his own anger.

The goal was simple: to resonate with those who had their accounts reclaimed or had previously had them reclaimed.

As for educating the "reclaimers," that was mainly reserved for the second video.

Zhou Yi believed that once this video was released, some people would definitely bash it, saying things like calling the police was useless.

The reason was also simple: indeed, many people called the police, but the value of many people's accounts didn't meet the standard for Case Filing.

Even if a Case Filing was made, for a small amount of money, it was impossible to invest much effort into helping you find the person.

And what Zhou Yi wanted to do was to slap them in the face!

Moreover, Zhou Yi had already decided that this time, getting the "reclaimer" inside was only one aspect; the other aspect was that trading platform!

They promised compensation for reclamation, but when it happened, they actually told him to negotiate, so he had decided to file a Lawsuit against the platform directly.

Didn't you say you'd compensate for reclamation? Fine, my one million, we need to talk about that.

Of course, Zhou Yi had no idea at this moment that the "reclaimer" he was obsessed with had already been caught by Qingshan County, because the speed was truly too fast.

After all, he had just called the police, and it had only taken a few hours to come back and edit the video, including eating and resting, at most no more than six hours!

And yet the person had already been caught; the speed was lightning fast...

According to the previous agreement, the video had to be reviewed, so Zhou Yi sent it to the Officer Zhou who had left his contact information earlier.

After waiting for about an hour, there was a reply: no problem, it could be released directly.

That was that; he very skillfully opened Bilibili, logged into his account, and chose to upload.

Everything was done, and it was getting late. Thinking the video probably wouldn't pass review and be released until the middle of the night, Zhou Yi didn't wait and went to wash up and sleep.

A working stiff, a working soul, he still had to go to work tomorrow.

In fact, it was just as Zhou Yi had expected; the time the video passed review and was actually released was already past one in the morning.

However, for some night owls, one in the morning was the most exciting time.

For example, Yuan Jie, who was playing games and watching videos at this moment.

Yuan Jie, whose full name was Lin Mengyuan, was from Guang City; her age was a mystery, and her side job was filming videos and live streaming. Relying on her slender figure and decent looks, she made many otaku contribute their tissues.

Actually, her main job was collecting rent...

She claimed to have been hurt in love before, and now she even declared "only doing it, not loving," and at this moment, sitting on a swivel chair, her long, slender legs were visible beneath her sky-blue denim shorts.

A white short-sleeved T-shirt completely accentuated her proud figure.

However, Yuan Jie was currently frowning in great indignation, and the reason was simple: her Original Demon account had been recovered.

For a second-generation like Yuan Jie, playing games was just for fun, and buying accounts was a daily routine.

As it turned out, she hadn't expected that the verification method with the highest weight, which had been perfectly fine as an email, had suddenly changed to Real-name Registration, and then the account was recovered.

Then, going to places like Tieba and forums to look, everywhere was filled with the gloating of those who had recovered accounts.

It made Yuan Jie so angry that her liver hurt today, and she didn't even eat dinner!

Aimlessly scrolling through videos, suddenly, Yuan Jie scrolled to a video update, and upon looking, it was that A Yi, whose video quality was good but who could never seem to get popular.

And the new video the other party had released was actually not a gaming video, but...

"Account recovered? I'll backhand a recharge of one million!"

Reading this title word by word, Yuan Jie suddenly froze.

Begging for collections, begging for recommendations, begging for everything, everyone.
