Chapter 49: The Person Who Wants to Become a God (7)

  Xia Zhu didn't know how far away the future was, but one thing she could be certain of was that she wanted to cherish the person by her side, no matter how long they could walk together.

  Time is always playing tricks on people, it lets two people get to know each other and meet, then unknowingly sets up too many obstacles, dividing them into different paths. Xia Zhu thought so, and couldn't help but stop the action of peeling the fruit in her hand, looking up.

  It just so happened that Lin Yuanxiao's gaze met hers, and Xia Zhu's face turned slightly red as she realized someone had been staring at her all along. The person who was caught didn't react much, but she herself was taken aback. Lin Yuanxiao smiled faintly and pointed to the apple in her hand: "You eat it yourself."

  "Summer bamboo stunned: "You have to eat fruit every day."

  "Hmm, I've eaten already." Lin Yuan's expression was calm and didn't seem fake.

  Xia Zhu worked hard to recall, but also couldn't remember when someone had eaten fruit. Lin Yuanli had already lowered his head to look at the newspaper in his hand: "Something's happened."

  These days, Xia Zhu ran to Wang Lun every day. Zou Mianyuan gave her a big holiday and she actually forgot that she was still in the police station. She asked with a serious face: "What's wrong?"

  Lin Yuan's face was solemn as he nodded and pointed at something in his hand: "The police station is on fire."

  Xia Zhu's apple fell to the ground. Lin Yuanli raised his head and looked at her, covering her fingers with his hand: "No casualties for the time being, don't worry."

  "It shouldn't be like this..." Xia Zhu muttered, she grabbed the phone and struggled to open Lin Yuan's fingers as she walked out: "I'll go ask Captain."

  Lin Yuan's eyes flashed with worry, but she still didn't stop her.

  Xia Zhu walked out of the door in a daze and dialed the phone with trembling fingers. After a while, the other end of the line picked up: "Captain."

  "Ah, Xia Zhu," Zou Mu-yuan's voice was calm, not like his usual joking self at the police station. He paused for a moment before asking, "Hasn't it been a few days since you've had time to pass? Is Yuan Li doing alright?"

  "We're handling the discharge procedures over here today..." Xia Zhu tightened her grip on the phone and asked, "Captain, what about the police station's situation..."

  "Don't worry." Zou Muyuan's voice came through the phone, this time with a hint of the captain's authority and a slight smile. "We're trying to get it registered now, but there's not enough evidence. Once Far Seven's condition stabilizes, you can bring him over together. Let's forget about today's afternoon."

  Xia Zhu hadn't even had time to speak when she felt her phone being pulled out of her hand, Lin Yuanbo said calmly: "Do you have something or not?"

  His question was so abrupt that not only Zou Mu Yuan, but also Xia Zhu was startled. Lin Yuan Li's face turned solemn as he repeated: "The newspaper didn't say."

  "That guy smiled faintly: 'Nothing major, Shengyuan and the others are all doing well.'"

  "...We'll go this afternoon." Lin Yuanxi knew he was hiding something, and since they were on the phone, he couldn't ask in detail. He hung up with a cold face, then looked at Xia Zhu and said calmly: "He said it's nothing."

  Xia Zhu blinked her eyes and reached out to cover Lin Yuanqi's fingers: "I always feel that something is not quite right."

  Lin Yuanxie listened silently, and Xia Zhu said thoughtfully, "If nothing else, it doesn't make sense for Captain Mo to not let us go this afternoon."

  "He's in trouble, but judging from his tone, it doesn't seem like a big deal." Lin Yuan said, his gaze drifting off into the distance.

  Xia Zhu looked at him and suddenly felt that something was off: "Hey, why did you remove the IV drip yourself? Hurry back."

  Lin Yuanxi did not follow Lian this time either, and obediently followed Xia Zhu back.

  Wang Lun gave Xia Zhu a big thumbs up at the door, and Lin Yuanbo couldn't help but glance over with an expressionless face, unable to hold back his smile.

  Afternoon, police station.

  Lin Yuan and Xia Zhu went straight to the police station after leaving the hospital. The dilapidated state of the police station they had imagined did not appear in reality, which made both of them breathe a sigh of relief.

  "You're still recovering from your illness, what are you doing running around here?" Sheng Yuan was waiting at the door and saw Lin Yuan first with a scowl.

  Lin Yuan's expression remained unchanged: "Where is Zou Mianyuan?"

  He rarely called Zou Muyuan by his full name, in fact, even at the police station, they would usually address him as Captain Zou. But this time, Shengyuan understood that he seemed to be angry.

  Shengyuan looked at Xiaozhu and raised an eyebrow, hinting that Xiaozhu should take care of it, but this time no one could stop them. Lin Yuanxiao saw Shengyuan not responding, directly led Xiaozhu inside, the two were familiar with the place, soon they reached the captain's room.

  When he went in, Zou Mu Yuan was facing away from the two of them and didn't hear the knock on the door. He thought it was Sheng Yuan who had come in and lazily asked: "Not here yet?"

  "Here." Lin Yuan replied coldly.

  Zou Mianyuan seemed to be startled, subconsciously wanting to cover his arm, Lin Yuanli's hands and mouth were quick, took a look and said: "The injury is quite serious, not going to the hospital?"

  His tone remained calm, Zou Mianyuan had known him for a long time, but he understood too well the calmness under this stormy weather, and couldn't help but look up at Xia Zhu.

  Lin Yuanxi hugged his arms and nodded: "Only you are injured, no one in the major crimes unit is fine, even the gatekeeper is intact, what's wrong with you?"

  Zou Mianyuan knew in his heart that he couldn't deceive him, so he could only bitterly smile and say: "At the time, wasn't it true that none of the blasting team had arrived? I just..."

  "Explosives?" Lin Yuan furrowed his brow.

  Zou Mingyuan nodded: "Hmm, someone said it was our own ammunition depot that caught fire. What ammunition depot do we have here? Ah..." As he spoke, he straightened his body and accidentally touched the injured part of his arm, gritting his teeth in pain.

  Lin Yuan furrowed his brow: "Something's off."

  Sheng Yuan, who had just come in, closed the door: "I also feel that something is not quite right."

  "Before, it was all about arson, for the pleasure of purifying people, but this time it's explosives, which feels very out of place." Xia Zhu explained.

  Zou Muyuan looked up at them: "If I'm not mistaken, it should be a replacement."

  "The person who came to find us before, their expression didn't seem fake," Xia Zhu tried her best to recall: "If I'm not mistaken, maybe that person was the real culprit."

  Lin Yuan also recalled that person, who had a humble and unassuming expression, looking completely ordinary. Yet, perhaps it was under such an expression that he truly hid his killing intent. Thinking of this, Lin Yuan furrowed his brow: "Is there anyone who can draw a picture?"

  "I'm worried that he was disguised at that time." Xia Zhu said thoughtfully.

  Lin Yuanxi directly denied: "No," he paused and explained, "That person has extreme confidence in his own means, and will not humiliate himself by disguising himself."

  Xia Zhu looked at Lin Yuanke, just as she had thought before, every time he talked about the psychology of criminals, Lin Yuanke would show extremely high enthusiasm, such enthusiasm hidden under his icy mask, became his last reliance.

  Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask: "By the way, did Xi Zuo surrender himself earlier? Did he say anything?"

  Zou Muyuan thought of this and felt annoyed. He nodded and handed over a piece of paper: "This is all you've said in so many days."

  "The play has begun." Lin Yuanbo furrowed his brow, picked up the paper and looked at the bold handwriting on it, which was just like Xi Zuo's personality.

  "He's an insider." Xia Zhu furrowed her brow.

  Zou Mianyuan looked at the two of them, who were as alike as peas in a pod, and could only sigh: "But now he won't say anything, and we don't have any other way to deal with him. If we push him too hard, he'll just start pretending to be crazy."

  "He doesn't need to pretend to be crazy." Lin Yuanbo put that paper back, his expression ambiguous.

  Xia Zhu looked back and saw that Lin Yuanxi had already withdrawn his hands into his sleeves, his eyes averted, lost in thought.

  "When will be the next attack?" Zou Mianyuan changed the subject.

  Lin Yuanxi looked at Zou Muyuan with a glance, and his eyebrows were still furrowed: "Today."

  Zou Muyuan was stunned: "Why?"

  "If I'm not mistaken," Lin Yuan's eyebrows were filled with a sharp and fierce aura: "The battle between them, has begun."

  Xia Zhu picked up the portrait she had just finished, and the person in the portrait was really too good at capturing all sorts of expressions. Xia Zhu looked at it for a while, then suddenly said "hmm", covering her mouth and chin with her hand, muttering to herself: "I think I remember this person."

  "Your Aunt Xiao." Lin Yuanli said, grabbing the portrait on the table and rushing out.

  Xia Zhu followed closely behind, Lin Yuanxi's strides were too big, she had to try hard to keep up, and could only attempt to pull on his sleeve: "Yuanxi, wait for me."

  Lin Yuan's footsteps slowed down slightly, and he also slowed down.

  Zou Muyuan originally wanted to follow up, but after a moment's thought, he called Sheng Yuan over: "You're in charge of supporting them."

  Sheng Yuan hesitated for a moment, his hand slightly slowing down as he tucked the gun into his waist: "Are you still planning to go out on patrol?"

  "I have a premonition," Zou Muyuan said seriously: "This time is very dangerous."

  "It's very dangerous, so you shouldn't go," Sheng Yuan said with an unpleasant expression: "You're still injured, which will affect the coordination."

  Zou Mianyuan stared at Sheng Yuan for a while, shook his head and called Bi Tianqi: "Old Bi, check the residence of the person in the portrait, and also contact the telecommunications bureau to see if it is possible to locate him through mobile phone."

  "Alright." Bi Tianqi glanced at the two of them and left with his belongings.

  Shengyuan looked at Zou Muren, and saw that Zou Muren's expression became increasingly cold: "Stay here and pass on messages to them," he paused before continuing: "This is an order."

  Sheng Yuan quietly looked at Zou Mu Yan for a long time before nodding: "Yes, Captain."

  Zou Muyuan led the three members of the serious crime unit in a rush: "This mission is very dangerous, we'll first contact Lin Yuanbo and his team to do our best to provide support."

  The three of them responded and rushed into the police car together.

  Zou Mianyuan took a look at the garage, and as expected, one police car was missing. It was Lin Yuanbo who had taken it away. This guy... he thought that after this matter is over, he must sign a contract with him to establish some rules, cannot let people be so lawless...

  Lin Yuanxu hastily led Xia Zhu on their way, and saw that Xia Zhu had been frowning: "What's wrong?"

  Xia Zhu furrowed her brow and said: "I always feel like I've missed something... If it's Xiao Yi, why didn't I notice at first?"

  "I didn't find anything either," said Lin Yuanxi, implying that he shouldn't blame himself.

  Xia Zhu shook her head: "It's not like that." She refocused her gaze on the portrait: "And the voice is different too, most importantly... I always thought he was a man, this is hard to fake, let alone I know Xiao Yi very well."

  "Where do you think I'm going now?" Lin Yuan asked suddenly.

  Xia Zhu was taken aback and looked up: "I don't know."

  "I'm going to Yuan Yang Company." Lin Yuan threw the steering wheel and handed the ringing phone to Xia Zhu: "Answer it, Captain's."

  "Oh, okay." Xia Zhu replied, connecting the phone: "Captain, we're going to Yuan Yang Company."

  It seems that was what he said. Xia Zhu looked at Lin Yuanxi and responded, "Uh-huh, I think we know who the real culprit is now."

  Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows and a hint of a smile crossed his lips, just as Xia Zhu said: "We're going to have a good talk with the chairman of Far Yeung Company."

  The steering wheel turned slightly, and Lin Yuanxi looked ahead: "We're here."

  The chairman of Far Yeung Company sat in the car with a calm expression.
