Qin Yao said with some surprise, "So in the bidding for the ’King’s Judgment’ game, Lawyer Lin completely lost to Cai Zhiyuan?"

Wei Yinzhang shook his head: "It’s not that simple to discuss winning or losing.

"Because their situations were different.

"For Lawyer Lin, at that time he wasn’t the one being judged, he could choose not to participate in the game, not to take on the risk of death, so just attempting a simple game to try and save all the players in the same community was enough. There was no need to conduct the logical reasoning I mentioned earlier, or to consider whether the game was difficult or simple.

"If he designed a dangerous game and it was selected but he couldn’t tell other players the ’backdoor,’ then it would only put everyone in greater danger.

"But for Cai Zhiyuan, he was the one being judged in the game, he had to do everything possible to avoid the risk of death.

"There was no room for error; it had to be perfect.

"This was the key that led the two to make different choices."

Lin Sizhi replied frankly: "Yes, in the bidding for ’King’s Judgment,’ I lost to Cai Zhiyuan, which was evident."

Yang Yuting still didn’t quite understand: "But why did he have to kill Uncle Ding?

"This game is very targeted, obviously designed according to Uncle Ding’s personality template, but Cai Zhiyuan doesn’t have any deep hatred against Uncle Ding, right?"

Lin Sizhi explained: "It’s not that he wanted to kill Uncle Ding, but... he needed to find a ’scapegoat.’

"At that time, none of the imitators had experience designing judgment-type games, so they could only speculate on the intentions of the Walkway to design the game.

"Cai Zhiyuan, Wang Yongxin, and Ding Wenqiang, all of their profiles were in the selected state.

"Designing a ’full survival’ game definitely wouldn’t work, as analyzed before, the ’simple option’ wasn’t a viable choice.

"Cai Zhiyuan didn’t know much about the other community’s two players, and Boss Wang was considered a relatively strong player, not easy to calculate; so, only one choice remained.

"For Cai Zhiyuan, this was the safest, most controllable option that could also clear himself of suspicion.

"Of course, the drawback was that he had to suffer some hardships himself.

"Regarding this, Officer Cao had noticed some things.

"After the ’King’s Judgment’ ended, Cai Zhiyuan often went running outside or worked out in the community gym.

"His fitness movements were very standard.

"But there were no fitness coaches in our community, and no one specifically taught him.

"His physical condition wasn’t great, but it didn’t mean he never had fitness habits. The more likely scenario was that he had fitness experience for some time and was familiar enough with his body’s general data and fitness movement details. It’s just that he gave it up midway because of his work.

"In this type of white-collar group, similar situations are not uncommon."

Yang Yuting suddenly remembered something: "Oh, right, I recall Brother Wang mentioning while chatting later that he was in a similar situation: had fitness experience for a while but couldn’t maintain it afterward.

"So during the ’King’s Judgment,’ his performance was about the same as an ordinary person who hadn’t exercised.

"As an algorithm programmer, Cai Zhiyuan’s income must be quite high, and due to his profession, it’s very likely he tried to work out.

"Just like Brother Wang, he didn’t stick with it, but the requisite knowledge was enough." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Zheng Jie asked: "Lawyer Lin, you mentioned Officer Cao, does that mean, Officer Cao realized long ago that Cai Zhiyuan was the imitator of the ’King’s Game’?

"As for the ’Shelter Game’..."

Lin Sizhi nodded: "Yes, that was also by Cai Zhiyuan.

"In fact, in all the games we experienced, Cai Zhiyuan designed ’King’s Judgment,’ ’Wealthy Dynasty,’ ’Shelter Game,’ and ’Lifting Game.’"

Wei Yinzhang was silent for a moment: "A mimicking offender with an A base and S upper limit.

"Somewhat absurd."

Everyone present was profoundly impressed by these games; judgment and elimination types of games have always been intimidating, and ’King’s Judgment,’ ’Shelter Game,’ and ’Lifting Game’ were among the most outstanding.

In other words, also the most brutal.

Qin Yao asked belatedly: "So that means Cai Zhiyuan created the ’Shelter Game’ to kill Officer Cao because Officer Cao was constantly tracking him?

"In that game, it appeared that the players from other communities died in groups, and our community only lost Officer Cao, but in reality, the initial target was Officer Cao...

"Cai Zhiyuan knew that because of the existence of immunity coupons in the community, there had to be a double death mechanism.

"He turned this around, effectively making the other players entering the game ’hostages,’ forcing Officer Cao to make a self-sacrifice choice.

"But he didn’t have deep-seated animosity against Officer Cao, must he kill Officer Cao?"

Clearly, most people were still unable to accept Officer Cao’s death.

Lin Sizhi paused for a moment and said, "This point might need to be explained by understanding ’what kind of person Cai Zhiyuan is.’

"That might be content for ongoing discussion.

"Simply put, Officer Cao’s pursuit of the imitating offender is driven by almost instinctive behavior, something he couldn’t abandon.

"And Officer Cao indeed had enough capability.

"Moreover, Officer Cao was an important member of the ’Five Core Members,’ part of the core of the game.

"If Cai Zhiyuan really confessed to Officer Cao, admitting he was the imitator designing Ding Shu’s death, it might trigger a series of consequences he couldn’t accept.

"Like me, once Cai Zhiyuan figures out a problem, he never drags his feet, choosing the fastest speed to make a decision.

"He chose to kill Officer Cao using the ’Shelter Game,’ just as he targeted me with the ’Simple Roulette,’ using the fastest speed."

Lin Sizhi slightly paused and continued: "As for Officer Cao, he actually suspected Cai Zhiyuan quite early, but due to the unique murder method of the imitator, he couldn’t find any evidence; ultimately, it remained a suspicion.

"Before he entered the ’Shelter Game,’ he actually told me and Li Renshu all of his reasoning and guesses.

Zheng Jie recalled the scene from the game: "Oh! No wonder Officer Cao said that everything that needed to be said had already been said in the community at the end.

"So, it was about the imitate offender?"

Many people looked towards Li Renshu.
