Chapter 63 The Final Case (Part One)

  Zou Mianyuan stared at Xia Zhu for a long time before silently beckoning Lin Yuanke over.

  Lin Yuan stopped in front of Zou Mu Yan, his expression extremely calm.

  "You think Xia Zhu might be his chosen mole." Lin Yuan said, his tone still calm, calmly to the point of being frightening.

  Zou Muyuan furrowed his brow: "I think anyone is possible, but I haven't confirmed Xia Zhu."

  "Your eyes told me your thoughts," Lin Yuan said calmly, reaching out to grab a cigarette from Zou Muyuan. For some reason, the smell of smoke helped him focus his mind, although it was a kind of nerve anesthesia: "I have to say, your concerns are very reasonable."

  Zou Mianyuan was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Lin Yuanliu, this is the first time you've spoken to me like that."

  "You should feel honored instead." Lin Yuan said with a gentle smile.

  Zou Muyuan sighed: "Believe me, no one wants Xia Zhu to be a traitor."

  This time Lin Yuanxi did not respond, he just silently looked up at the sky, without saying a word.

  "Two hours isn't a lot," Zou Mianyuan stretched out his hand to take the cigarette from Lin Yuan's fingers and trampled it on the ground: "Let's start."

  "Hmm." Lin Yuanxi's body leaned back slightly, and he let out a breath.

  Two hours is indeed not a lot, especially in the midst of all these mysteries.

  As he looked up, Xia Zhu was standing beside him, with a somewhat forced smile.

  "If you don't want to laugh, then don't laugh." Lin Yuanxi stretched out his hand and gently patted Xia Zhu's face.

  This action was really intimate, Xia Zhu's eyes flashed slightly, and she didn't speak.

  Lin Yuanqi had no choice but to continue: "I know your concerns, and I also know what you're thinking now... Xia Zhu, trust me."

  Simple five words, Xia Zhu, please believe me.

  Xia Zhu's tears welled up in her eyes but ultimately didn't fall: "I believe you."

  What they never expected was that a rumor spread from somewhere, saying that Xia Zhu's father died because of Xi Zuo, or to say...because of Lin Yuanke.

  The news spread quickly through the police station, with no room for maneuver.

  "If this continues, everyone will likely think that Xia Zhu is a traitor and advocate for handing over Xia Zhu." Sheng Yuan's face was not pleasant.

  "Where did it come from? Can we find out the source?" Zou Mingyuan asked calmly.

  Sheng Yuan shook his head: "From the intranet, you also know that it's impossible to find the source from the intranet."

  Zou Muyuan smiled: "Who said that? If it's an intranet, it's best to check the source, each person's machine code is different. The technical group back then won the gold award that year because of this design."

  This matter is not difficult, and soon the source was found out.

  "But this time, everyone's face looked even more unpleasant: 'Shengyuan?'"

  Zou Yun looked back with a frown: "Someone has touched your computer."

  As a forensic doctor, he was rarely in front of the computer, but Shengyuan's machine password was simply abnormal, and it didn't make sense to be moved by someone.

  "Is there surveillance?" Sheng Yuan asked.

  Zou Muyuan shook his head: "It was premeditated, and the surveillance had already been turned off beforehand."

  So things went back to square one, with no leads at all from the start.

  "There actually is a clue." Lin Yuan suddenly said.

  "Absolutely not."

  Zou Mianyuan furrowed his brow: "Yuan Qi hasn't spoken yet..."

  "He wants to go to Shibei." Xia Zhu's expression was pale, but she remained firm: "Too risky."

  "Are you serious?" Zou Muyuan furrowed his brow.

  "Yes," Lin Yuanqi said calmly without looking at Xia Zhu, "I have a way to get out of this unscathed."

  "It's impossible." Zou Mianyuan said resolutely: "Don't forget what happened in the past."

  Lin Yuanxi's expression didn't change at all: "What happened in the past?"

  "Lin Yuanqi." Zou Mianyuan gritted his teeth, forced to turn over old accounts: "How desperate were you back then? Have you forgotten all about it now?"

  "This time Lin Yuanxi slightly tilted his head: "Zou Muyuan, I'm more aware of past events than you are, but I've already moved on."

  Shengyuan remained silent for a long time, before slowly opening his mouth: "Xi Bao's goal is not to torture Lin Yuanxi, he just wants to create a second version of himself."

  "I know," Lin Yuanxiao smiled, which was a confirmation of Sheng Yuanyu's words. His tone was full of arrogant confidence: "And I can give him an illusion, making him think he has successfully transformed."

  "Far away......" Xia Zhuo waved his hand: "You're going to take a risk, and it's a big one. Believe me, Xi Bao isn't that easy to deceive."

  Even if you have to become a completely different person, you can deceive heaven and cross the sea.

  "No one is better at changing their appearance than me." Lin Yuan said calmly, reaching out to gently rub Xia Zhu's head: "Don't worry."

  He finished speaking and didn't wait for anyone's response, directly sitting in front of the computer and lightly typing a sentence on the company network.

  After doing all this, Lin Yuanxi did not stay. He walked out of the door cleanly and dialed Xi Bao's mobile phone number.

  "Where are you?"

  "Are you here to catch me? No, no, no. Seeing your actions, I'm really delighted." Xi Bao's tone was full of joy, he softly reported an address and smiled: "If you bring good friends along, then our game will be over."

  "Of course," Lin Yuan's eyes flashed, his voice filled with indifference and madness: "Our game has just begun, how can we end it hastily?"

  "You really want to go." Xia Zhu suddenly grasped Lin Yuan's fingertips.

  Lin Yuanxi looked over and smiled slightly: "The person who can replace you as a mole can only be me."

  "I'm really not a traitor." Xia Zhu's eyes were silently filled with tears, she suddenly felt heartache, that feeling was almost like a knife twisting in her heart, yet she couldn't express it.

  Lin Yuan stared at her for a long time, shaking his head slightly: "You don't have the ability to deceive me yet."

  He walked away with big strides, as if he was going to step out of her life from then on.

  Xia Zhu stood silently in place, suddenly turning his head to look at Sheng Yuan and Zou Mianyuan: "Captain, I want to resign."

  "No way." Zou Mianyuan calmly shook his head and lightly gestured with his fingers.

  A slight movement made Xia Zhu thoroughly quiet.

  There is a traitor in the police station——

  People think the insider is Xia Zhu -

  Lin Yuan replaces Xia Zhu as the insider and walks into Xi Zuo's trap.

  No, no, it's not right.

  Because I am not a traitor, this logic has been invalid from the very beginning.

  The only reason is that they must go their separate ways.

  To prevent Xi Bao, this madman, from doing something even more terrifying, Lin Yuanlie must become the target of public criticism in the police station. This way, he can leave the police station to confront Xi Bao, and the police station can quietly start capturing the internal traitor.

  From the very beginning, this trap was double-layered.

  Xia Zhu calmed down and only then did she notice the faint chill in her palm.

  Lin Yuanxi left, she was the only psychologist in the police station, and she had to take on her own responsibilities.

  From now on, without Lin Yuanxi as a teacher, she has to be alone and take on more responsibilities.

  "It's all up to you." Zou Mianyuan patted Xia Zhu's shoulder lightly and whispered in her ear, "Believe me, no one is more worried about you than Lin Yuanliu, yet also more at ease with you."

  This sentence is somewhat subtle, but Xia Zhu suddenly felt like crying.

  She didn't know when she and Lin Yuanxi had become so intimate with each other.

  I miss you so much, even now that you've just left.

  "Alright," Xia Zhu nodded calmly: "Leave the rest to me."

  "Of course," Sheng Yuan also smiled and gently patted Xia Zhu's shoulder: "It's all up to you."

  At this moment, Lin Yuan was heading towards the address Xue Bo had told him.

  It was an ordinary house, just as Lin Yuan was approaching, the phone rang again.

  "I know you won't let things go that easily."

  "So..." The person opposite him, Xi Bei, let out a pleasant laugh: "Are you prepared to leave behind your beloved girlfriend and your lovely team from now on?"

  From now on, leave the human world, and from now on, there is no possibility of any communication.

  Lin Yuanqie tossed his mobile phone far away, picked up the walkie-talkie from the letter tube and said calmly: "If I'm not mistaken, the range of this model of walkie-talkie is only two kilometers, so you're very close to me now."

  "Your observational skills are top-notch, you're indeed Ah Qi." Xi Bao chuckled in a low tone: "Come find me, if you come late, something big will happen, oh."

  He finished speaking, and the other end of the intercom turned into a hissing static noise.

  Lin Yuan stared at his intercom for a long time——

  Birds chirping, water flowing.

  These two symbolic sounds are really too easy, let alone Xi Zuo's temperament, must choose a place to be quiet in the midst of noise.

  Thinking of this, Lin Yuanxi didn't hesitate and walked in one direction.

  Half an hour later, he knocked on Xi Bao's door with precision.

  Against his expectations, there was another young boy in the house besides Xi Bao.

  "It's just a food delivery guy, we have to survive." Xi Bao smiled and whistled ambiguously at the delivery guy: "So, see you tomorrow then."

  Lin Yuanxiang silently stepped aside, furrowing his brow: "It's not takeout, you don't need to test me with such a low-level question."

  Xie Bei closed his eyes contentedly: "You're also here to test me. Your brooch, it's been a while since you could take it off."

  Opposite him, Zou Mu Yuan's eyebrows slightly furrowed: "If the brooch is removed, he'll only have his watch left to use."

  "He wouldn't just bring so few communication tools." Xia Zhu furrowed her brow.

  But the next second, a loud crash was heard.

  Nothing can be heard clearly here.

  Xia Zhu and Sheng Yuan stared at each other for a moment before finally coming to a conclusion: now it was really up to Lin Yuanbai himself.

  Lin Yuan quietly removed his brooch and thought for a moment before taking off his watch as well.

  However, Xi Bao did not let the matter drop. He reached out and patted Lin Yuan's body lightly, laughing: "Since I don't think you'd implant a subdermal probe or communication device, to be on the safe side, please change into a new set of clothes."

  A moment later, Lin Yuan was pushed into the bathroom by Xi Zuo.

  After a little while longer, there wasn't a single piece of clothing on his entire body that belonged to him.

  This time it was truly and completely severed all contact, Xi Bei politely put a blindfold on Lin Yuanxi, the engine sound...

  Xie Bao seemed to be doing it on purpose, worried that Lin Yuan would remember the way, so he kept turning left and right all along, until finally Lin Yuan was completely lost and stopped.

  They appeared in an underground parking garage, which looked no different from any other shopping mall's, with nothing special about it.

  Xie Ba locked the car and took Lin Yuanxiao up, laughing: "From now on, this is our kingdom."

  In front of me was a house that could be absolutely called luxurious.

  From start to finish, Lin Yuanxi remained silent.

  Xie Bao smiled slightly: "It seems we need some appetizers."

  "I assume you're not planning on feeding me, since I'm not feeling hungry." Lin Yuan said calmly.

  Xie Ba looked at him with interest: "Oh, of course not. In fact, I'm more interested in the fact that you haven't found the mole yet, so...I can only give the police department a big gift."

  He twisted open the computer screen, turned it around and faced Lin Yuanxi, smiling: "Do you like it?"

  It seems like a real simulation animation, above him is the police station he's most familiar with, and people are running around in panic.

  The screen was blown open and finally fell into a dead silence.

  "In three minutes, this is what you will see. Oh sorry, now there are only two minutes left." Xī Bó raised his watch and smiled slightly: "I think you have already chosen me, so this is a gift for my dear ā Kè to meet."

  His voice was calm and composed, but Lin Yuanxi still had no expression on his face. He just silently looked at the screen, without showing any emotions.

  Lin Yuan's expression made Xi Zhe unable to discern any depth or fluctuation of emotions.

  He finally realized that Lin Yuanxi was no longer the same person as before.

  However...

  A powerful opponent makes Xi Bei even more excited, even excitedly trembling.

  "There's just one minute left." Lin Yuan suddenly said: "I hope you're sure your bomb is set to the right time."

  "Of course." Xi Bao adjusted his mood and smiled: "I'm just as eager as you are."
