Chapter 31: The Decoded Cipher (11)

  "He's dead," Lin Yuanxi's voice echoed in the vast room, bringing out a chilling feeling: "Death certificates aren't hard to make, but the question is, why did they want to do it."

  Xia Zhu raised her eyes to look at him, his gaze was clear and bright.

  "If it were me," Xia Zhu said slowly, "perhaps they're going to do something big."

  "Opening a coffee shop isn't a big deal for two people who are willing to keep a low profile. What they need to do is absolutely not just these things in front of them." Lin Yuan said, stretching out his hand and heavily pulling the thick bookshelf, this time he directly pulled it down to the ground, and all the books on it slid down.

  Lin Yuan stood calmly, looking at a stack of books with furrowed brows: "The secret should be right here."

  "I thought there would be a native road behind." Xia Zhu said with a smile.

  "Oh..." Lin Yuanqi drew out his voice, with a hint of embarrassment: "It's nothing."

  Just then, Xia Zhuo was puzzled as to why Lin Yuan would comfort someone, and the person continued: "Generally speaking, children who watch more movies tend to have such naive and romantic ideas."

  Xia Zhuo silently turned his head away and endured it.

  "Flip through it." Lin Yuan ordered a sentence, and he himself was pressing on the bookshelf.

  Xia Zhu was engrossed in reading while stealing glances at him, until the sound of sliding came from the floor.

  "Ah......" Xia Zhu lost his voice and shouted: "Tunnel?"

  "That's right." Lin Yuan said calmly.

  "Earlier, someone said..."

  "Oh, what a naive and romantic idea," Lin Yuanxiao smiled casually: "It's not bad, life needs a little romance."

  Xia Zhu smiled, in this gloomy place, having such a superior by her side was actually a good thing, at least it made her smile and feel ten years younger.

  Lin Yuanxi turned around and took a candle holder, and then teased: "With this candle holder, the place looks even more like a horror movie scene."

  "I never thought I'd be able to go down into the subway in person." Xia Zhu's face was filled with joy.

  Lin Yuan suddenly felt a bit helpless, he wanted to say something but held back, and only said lightly: "Follow up." His eyebrows and eyes were also filled with smiles.

  "This underground passage should have been dug out for a long time." Lin Yuan said.

  "Hmm," Xia Zhu lightly tapped on the green moss beside her, looking puzzled and asked: "If it were you, what would you do in the tunnel?"

  "Me?" Lin Yuanxiao raised an eyebrow, his expression pleasant: "My words should be placed below to manipulate the corpse."

  "......Oh, sorry, I asked the wrong question."

  Lin Yuan did not express approval or disapproval.

  The two walked down the long staircase and arrived at the place below. The space below was not large, but it was enough to be bloody and cruel.

  The operating table was covered in blood, but it gave a sense of coldness and cleanliness. What was most surprising was that all the corpses inside were animals, such as deer without heads, and eagles with their heads held high in flight.

  She suddenly remembered the vivid deer head at the entrance when she came in, and Xia Zhu felt nauseous.

  "There are usually only two kinds of people who like this kind of place." Lin Yuan said.

  "The first type should be creative literary young people, and the second type is... wanting to do animal experiments."

  "They're testing medicine." Without any needles in sight, Lin Yuan looked at the animals that had died miserably and came to this conclusion.

  He called Zou Mu yuan, and as expected, Sheng Yuan had detected a drug reaction on the corpse, which was identical to that of the animals here.

  "Drug dealers?" Xia Zhu furrowed her brow, finding it hard to associate this term with the kind couple she had seen before. However, looking around at the shocking scenes and thinking about the carefree people laughing and chatting on top, she couldn't help but feel a little disillusioned.

  Lin Yuan smiled coldly: "Most of the time, people know each other's faces but not their hearts."

  Xia Zhu raised her head and looked at him, somewhat unexpectedly asking: "How could you think that?"

  The light below was poor, and Xia Zhu could hardly see Lin Yuanqi's expression, only to see his cold and tight lips: "Nothing."

  Most of the time, Lin Yuanxi was talkative and wanted to grab the other person's ear to explain the case, but when he fell silent, Xia Zhu usually chose to wisely retreat.

  Today Xia Zhuo couldn't back down, it seemed that just one sentence from himself made Lin Yuanqi fall silent.

  But when this silence continued until the two returned home, Xia Zhu finally couldn't help but ask: "Yuan Qi."

  Her tone was calm and gentle, with a warmth that made him like her.

  Lin Yuan raised his head and looked at him: "Speak."

  Xia Zhu looked into his eyes, as if wanting to see deep into his pupils: "I don't think I've ever heard your story."

  Lin Yuan's expression suddenly turned cold: "What do you mean."

  Xia Zhu handed over two cups of coffee to Lin Yuanxi, one of which he took himself, and only then sat down across from Lin Yuanxi, looking at the furrowed brow: "Sorry."

  This time, Lin Yuanxi looked at her with some astonishment, and after just one glance, he understood everything. He stiffly nodded his head and remained silent for a while before whispering: "I'm not very used to finding a kindred spirit."

  "Oh, it's nothing," Xia Zhu laughed, she covered her coffee with her hand, hiding the loss in her eyes: "Hmm, the coffee is getting cold."

  "Good," Lin Yuan nodded and thought for a moment before picking up his cup and asking lightly, "By the way, Xia Zhu."

  Xia Zhu stopped in her tracks and turned around to see Lin Yuanxiu rarely break into a smile: "If there's nothing else, let's go out this weekend."

  For some reason, Xia Zhu's heart suddenly started racing wildly, and that feeling was a bit like what was written in manga...

  Tense and excited, with a little bit of nervousness, and a little bit of anticipation.

  Xia Zhu felt that her emotions had already become contradictory and couldn't be explained by psychology, so she listened to Lin Yuanbo continue: "Hmm, your clothes..."

  Xia Zhu immediately lowered his head to check and after a long time found that there was nothing wrong, Lin Yuanqi had already added: "It's time to change the style."

  Xia Zhu nodded blankly: "Oh, okay." Although it seems like it has nothing to do with you either.

  "The shoes too."

  "Oh... I'll be careful."

  "And there's another thing to change the style."

  Xia Zhu raised her eyes to look at him, no longer having any expectations, and saw Lin Yuan Xi slowly and elegantly holding up a magazine: "Is this the type you like?"

  The muscular man above was showing off his cool and handsome muscles, but Xia Zhuo inexplicably nodded and said with a suppressed smile: "Yeah, I guess so."

  Lin Yuan threw the magazine aside, his expression disdainful: "This one should change its style."

  *Hmph.*

  Starting tomorrow, three thousand and one chapters! (o￣ヘ￣o＃) Fists clenched!
