Lingqiu Lake and Wander (10)

  "If it were up to you, who would you think is scarier, Jin Xin or Yan Cheng?"

  Xia Zhu asked.

  Lin Yuan furrowed his brow, seemingly exerting great effort to comprehend the meaning of the word "fearsome". After a long while, he replied faintly: "If I had to say, it would be Jin Xin."

  "Why?" Xia Zhu was somewhat perplexed.

  No one would think that a dead person is a threat, and an easily dying person is even less likely to inspire fear. Yet this way of death is inexplicable, and for some reason it sends shivers down people's spines.

  Lin Yuanxiao smiled: "Jin Xin is in charge, and from the current situation, Yan Cheng is being controlled," he paused for a moment before continuing: "But they are just puppets on strings."

  Puppet on Strings...

  For some reason, Xia Zhu thought of the man wearing a motorcycle helmet last time. He looked clean and gentle, without any intimidating meaning at all, but Xia Zhu felt inexplicably panicked that time.

  That kind of panic slowly rose from the bones and was impossible to resist.

  "Senior." Xia Zhu said seriously.

  Lin Yuan stopped his actions and looked over, just in time to hear Xia Zhu say seriously: "You are much stronger than him."

  Although Lin Yuan didn't mention that person's name, he somehow understood, his eyebrows slightly raised, without asking Xia Zhu where she got this conclusion from, he just smiled faintly: "I remember I told you something."

  Xia Zhu made a gesture of washing his ears and listening respectfully, just as Lin Yuanli slowly stretched out his hand to stroke Xia Zhu's hair: "Name."

  "What's your name?" Xia Zhuo asked in confusion.

  Lin Yuanxi didn't respond again, but instead gave her a deep and meaningful look, his expression somewhat like a smile yet not quite, before walking away.

  Summer Zhu was still deep in thought, and even when Zou Mu walked over, he didn't notice, and continued to ask: "Officer, just now my senior asked me to think of a name."

  "Name?" Zou Mianyuan blinked his eyes.

  Just then, Sheng Yuan walked over after finishing the autopsy and asked: "What's his name?"

  "I see..." Xia Zhu thought of Lin Yuan's profound gaze earlier and suddenly understood. She touched her chin, shook her head and smiled: "Nothing, sorry Captain."

  She greeted Zou Muyuan and Sheng Yuan before chasing after them: "Far Seventh Senior."

  Lin Yuan's footsteps paused slightly: "Come with me to take a look at their home."

  "Good." Xia Zhu smiled slightly, her expression somewhat like a cat who had stolen a fish.

  Lin Yuan saw her expression and was about to say something, but he swallowed it back after a moment of silence, with a hint of a smile in his eyes.

  Jin Xin and Na Yan Cheng's homes were not far apart. Jin Xin's home was a small building with a separate entrance, which had some similarities to Lin Yuan Ke's layout for no reason. Xia Zhu looked at it for a while before asking: "Are these houses from the same period?"

  "It should be," Lin Yuanqi quickly scanned the furnishings in the house, which was very clean and tidy, not looking like a single man's residence at all, but rather like that of a severe cleanliness enthusiast. "There are fewer things in this house."

  Xia Zhu also looked around in all directions. There were very few things in the house, and it looked brand new, almost as if no one had ever lived there before.

  The most crucial thing is that there are no signs of anyone having lived in this house before, it's clean and empty.

  Lin Yuanxi wiped his hand lightly over the single bed, leaving a thin layer of dust on it: "No one has lived here."

  "Why buy such a big house and not live here?" Xia Zhu asked in puzzlement: "Then, this is just a blind."

  "No..." Lin Yuanxiao continued to look around, saying in a low voice: "If someone buys a big house but doesn't live there, there's only one reason. That is, he needs to use this house for something more important. Without this room, he can't do what he wants."

  What's the point of having such a big house?

  Xia Zhu thought for a hundred times but couldn't figure it out, yet she suddenly remembered an experiment she had seen before: "Yuan Qi".

  She suddenly said.

  Lin Yuanxi turned his head to look at her, and just heard Xia Zhu say seriously: "There is a secret passage in this room."

  Lin Yuan: “...... Some brain-dead videos are better watched less often, watching too many of them will affect your already low IQ.”

  "No... I mean there's a place in this house where he can conduct experiments or receive some people."

  "Have you watched too many martial arts films?" Lin Yuan was silent, but also followed Xia Zhu's intention to look at the decorations behind the bookshelf.

  When Lin Yuanxi forgot his usual elegance and moved the entire bookshelf, covering himself in dust, he and Xia Zhu looked back at the white wall behind them and let out a faint sigh: "Secret passage?"

  "Sorry, sorry." My fault for having too many ideas. I almost said that there was someone else recovering from injuries in the back, which is absolutely impossible and still a vacant ancient times.

  Lin Yuanxiao weakly waved his hand: "Forget it." The thinking that could be led astray by Xia Zhu was beyond salvation, and he felt extremely helpless towards himself.

  "Perhaps there's a cellar... or maybe not."

  Seeing Lin Yuan's expression, Xia Zhu lowered her voice knowingly.

  Lin Yuan stretched out his hand: "I'll go out and take a look with you."

  "If a professor were to build a secret base at home, where would he choose?" Xia Zhu pondered, muttering to himself.

  "Where would you build if you were in charge of alternative analysis?" Lin Yuan asked.

  Xia Zhu thought for a moment: "I will choose the simplest place, generally the more obvious places are less likely to be discovered."

  Lin Yuan stopped at the entrance of the villa and looked down at the canal, then smiled slightly: "That's right."

  Xia Zhu blinked: "Huh?"

  "A city's summer rainy season is long, and the most important thing is to pay attention to the problem of water accumulation in the sewers. Therefore, each villa has an independent sewer that connects to the entire city's sewer system. If I were you, I would choose this place." Lin Yuanbo looked at the unusually clean sewer and frowned.

  Xia Zhu nodded and leaned over to look inside. She saw a narrow entrance, just wide enough for one person, with a ladder leading down. It looked like it was meant for maintenance workers.

  "Want to go in and take a look?" Xia Zhu turned her head around, only to see Lin Yuanbin frowning, clearly extremely unwilling.

  "Alright..." Xia Zhu sighed and said quietly: "I'll go in."

  At this time, don't get tangled up anymore. Lin Yuanxi is unlikely to suddenly magnanimously decide to go down himself, so Xia Zhu is very self-aware.

  "No need," Lin Yuanxi looked over and shook his head, before Xia Zhu could even react, he heard Lin Yuanxi say calmly: "Let Captain Zou send someone over."

  "Didn't Captain Zou's people find this place before?" Xia Zhu was somewhat perplexed, this place looked very strange, it didn't make sense that they couldn't have found it.

  Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow and glanced at Xia Zhu beside him, with a deep smile: "Except for you, I don't think anyone else would want to take a walk in the sewer."

  Xia Zhu retorted: "Not necessarily, you see Jin Xin has also thought about it."

  She stretched out her hands in a cute manner, reflecting the small oval face of Xia Zhu, which made Lin Yuanbo unable to refute, and only frowned at Xia Zhu: "Make a phone call."

  "Oh, okay." Xia Zhu obediently went to make a phone call.

  "Summer Bamboo." Lin Yuan suddenly said.

  Xia Zhu was caught off guard and immediately looked up: "Yuan Qi?"

  The voice accurately passed to the other side of the microphone, Lin Yuaner knew it in his heart and smiled slightly: "Nothing, you continue."

  Xia Zhu was somewhat skeptical, but continued to make phone calls anyway.

  After a while, she finally put down the phone and reported: "Hmm, the one who just answered the phone was Sheng Yuan. He said that the captain is going crazy now."

  Lin Yuan didn't expect the person on the phone to be Zou Muyuan, and he was taken aback for a moment. After hearing Xia Zhu's words, he chuckled: "When is he not crazy?"

  "No, it's said that someone went over there and just sent something." Xia Zhu frowned.

  "What is it?" Lin Yuan asked.

  Just then, a voice suddenly came from beside him: "Oh..." His tone was slightly raised, with a hint of playfulness: "Of course it's very interesting, right, A Qi?"

  Lin Yuan's eyebrows moved slightly, and he looked over with a furrowed brow.

  Xia Zhu had never seen Lin Yuanqi like this before. In an instant, his entire body emitted a fierce aura, but then slowly and extremely restrainedly retracted it. He heard him say word by word: "You're here again."

  "That's right," he smiled slightly, and although Xia Zhu didn't get a clear look at his face that day, she did this time. There was a faint scar on his face, which had almost healed by now. However, the scar didn't affect the warm feeling he gave off; instead, it added a bit of flavor. At this moment, he smiled slightly and said, "Is there a welcome for me to come back?"

  Lin Yuanxu gazed at him deeply, a faint, cold smile spreading from the corners of his lips: "Welcome back?" He sneered: "Now that you're back, you should understand that you're about to enter hell."

  The man's outstretched hand hovered in mid-air, thought for a moment and shook his head: "Being so indifferent, Ah Qi, after all, we were once under the same roof, don't you think?"

  Lin Yuanzhi handed over to Xia Zhu: "Let's go."

  Xia Zhu had never disobeyed Lin Yuanqi's meaning, especially in front of this person. However, the moment Xia Zhu stretched out her hand, she suddenly saw the man smile. The man's smile was somewhat intimidating, and he looked at Xia Zhu like that, then shook his head: "I'm not seeing you for the first time, but I still have to compliment you, it's simply a perfect work."

  "Xí Bó." Lin Yuǎn Qī rarely called people by their names in such an unceremonious manner, with a hint of warning. He looked at Xí Bó deeply for a moment, then shook his head: "You'd better pray every day that you don't leave any handles behind, otherwise you'll never be able to leave A City again."

  "A Qi, you once lost to me. It seems that the one who should be careful isn't me." Xi Bao's smile grew even deeper as he gazed at Lin Yuan for a while before nodding twice: "Let's meet again."

  He walked out freely, got into the luxurious but low-key car outside, whispered a few words to the driver, then turned back and waved at Lin Yuan and Xia Zhu with a smile, being extremely arrogant.
