Chapter Fifteen: The Theft Case

  Jin Tian Xing stomped his foot in frustration and asked, "Why did you let him go? We could have gotten a lot of valuable clues from him. Now we're left with nothing."

  "I know you want to find a lead quickly, but using coercive methods won't work. He'll just fabricate a lead and send our investigation in the wrong direction, wasting even more time. Trust me, he'll find us soon enough, and you have information that he wants most."

  "I hope you're right." Jin Tianxing sat on the ground, exhausted and frowning, "Zong Kuai was actually the only one who walked out of Lao Ye Temple alive before me. Considering what Zongtian Group has been doing, it seems like they are hiding something. What kind of secret is hidden in the waters of Lao Ye Temple that makes Zongtian Group so crazy? And with Zong Kuai's status, he shouldn't have any connection to Huang Fuzi, why was Huang Fuzi so afraid of him?"

  Lan Xinlin also said, "I don't know when Zong Kuo came out of the Old Master Temple's water area. I have a feeling that his rapid rise has something to do with the Old Master Temple's water area."

  Jin Tian Xing used a small stone to write on the ground: Lao Ye Miao Shui Yu, San Yan Shen Xian, Zong Tian Group, Huang Feng Zi, Luo Yi. He couldn't connect these words together at all, not even a little bit of clue.

  Lan Xinlin patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Don't be discouraged, one day we will solve all the puzzles, find our missing relatives, take down the Zong Tian Group, and no one will mysteriously disappear for accidentally entering the old temple's waters again. Believe in yourself, we can do it."

  Jin Tianxing wiped away the words he had written with his foot, "What you said is right, I will definitely find Roy, and you can also find your sister. The bad guys will get their due punishment." The two looked at each other and smiled. It was getting late, so they headed back to the village to look for Lan Tian and Chen Ya. They found the two of them drunk in the wheat field. After bidding farewell to the villagers, Jin Tianxing started the car and drove towards the city.

  The way back was just as bumpy, Lan Xinlin hugged her dad with one hand and her mom with the other, complaining, "Seriously, neither of you can hold your liquor, yet you both drank so much."

  Jin Tianxing said, "It's just that the villagers are too enthusiastic. I think the old couple is also very happy. They can just go back and sleep it off." Lan Xinlin turned her head to look at the old couple. Since her sister went missing, they had never been happy again. Every time she thought of her sister, her heart ached secretly. Sometimes Lan Xinlin woke up in the middle of the night and found that her parents' room was still lit. She walked in and saw her mother crying softly in her father's arms. At this moment, under the influence of alcohol, the old couple had temporarily put aside all their worries and fell asleep quietly.

  The car drove over a big rock, jolted, and Blue Sky opened his eyes to look at Blue Heart Lin, murmuring, "Heart, you're back, Daddy misses you so much." He reached out to touch Blue Heart Lin's face.

  Lan Xinlin was taken aback and didn't know how to react. Jin Tianxing said in a low voice, "He thinks you're his sister, so just indulge her for now and let him be happy."

  Lan Xinlin lowered her head and said softly, "Dad, Xin'er is back." Lan Tian's hands never touched Lan Xinlin's face, he lightly called out, "Old wife, your eldest daughter is back." A satisfied smile appeared on his face before he fell asleep again. Meanwhile, Chen Ya didn't say a word, it wasn't until Lan Xinlin turned to look at her that she noticed tears silently streaming down her cheeks.

  Lan Xilin gently wiped away her mother's tears, gritting her teeth and saying, "I must find my sister and bring those bastards to justice."

  "And me." Jin Tianxing's heart was also aching, in just a few more days it would be the third anniversary of his acquaintance with Luo Yi. He said without turning back, "I believe we will definitely investigate the truth about Lao Ye Temple waters and make it known to the world." Jin Tianxing held onto the steering wheel with one hand and stretched out his right hand behind him, "Let's seal our promise with a high-five."

  Crack! Blue Heart Lin slapped a palm with force, "You focus on driving your car, don't drive too fast."

  An hour later, the car drove into **City. Jin Tian Xing turned his head to take a look, Er Lao was sleeping soundly, and Lan Xin Lin was studying the Tian Yan token. "Any discoveries?"

  Lan Xinlin sighed, "No. This brand is too strange, and I don't know what it's used for."

  Lan Xilin's home was just ahead, Jin Tianxing slowed down the car and turned around to say, "Qingqing hid it so secretly, it must be something very important. We can't figure it out, let's ask an expert to take a look. Who knows, maybe it's the key to finding the truth. You'd better keep it safe."

  "As long as I'm still alive, no one can snatch it from my hands. The card is with me, and the card will die with me."

  "Are you kidding me? Even if the token is lost, as long as you're still alive, that's all that matters. A person without a token is useless."

  Lan Xinlin saw Jin Tianxing really get angry, playfully stuck out her tongue and nodded slightly as if in agreement.

  Lan Xinlin's family arrived, Jin Tianxing stopped the car and helped the two elderly people up to the house with Lan Xinlin. When they reached the door, Lan Xinlin, who was supporting Chen Ya, stopped and didn't move forward.

  "Come on, we're already at the door, why aren't you going in?" Jin Tianxing urged, propping up the blue sky behind him.

  Shh…… Lan Xinlin made a slight movement. Jin Tianxing peeked out and saw that the door to Lan Xinlin's house was slightly ajar. "Help me support my mom, I'll go take a look." Lan Xinlin leaned Chen Ya against Jin Tianxing.

  "Be careful," Jin Tianxing reminded him.

  Lan Xinlin gently pushed open the door and walked in, only to see a mess. The house had been turned upside down, with things scattered all over the floor, as if it had been looted by thieves.

  Two minutes later, Blue Heartling walked out and said to Jin Tianxing, who was sweating profusely, "It's strange, nothing valuable in the house is missing. From the scene, it looks like the perpetrator is an old hand, leaving no clues behind, and there are no signs of forced entry on the door lock."

  Jin Tianxing supported the two old men with both hands and hinted at the backpack on Lan Xinlin's back with his eyes, "Will it be coming for this?"

  "It's very likely." Lan Xinlin took out the Tianyan Order from her bag and hid it on her body. She walked over to support Chen Ya, putting the two elderly people on the bed in the bedroom. The two elderly people slept soundly, completely unaware of the burglary at home.

  Jin Tian walked around in a circle and asked, "Should we call the police and let Captain Han bring people over to take a look?"

  "It's okay." Lan Xinlin waved her hand, "I've checked and nothing is missing at home. In order not to arouse the suspicion of the Zongtian Group people, we should minimize our contact with the police as much as possible."

  Jin Tianxing picked up a cup from the ground and put it back in its original place, then asked, "What kind of person do you think did this? Could it be someone from the Zongtian Group?"

  Lan Xin's eyebrows furrowed, "I'm not sure either, it's very possible that it was the thieves we met in the old house at night. They didn't seem like people from the Zong Tian Group. If the Zong Tian Group wants something, they'll just come and take it, or else they'll kidnap my parents as a trade-off, they wouldn't go to so much trouble."

  Jin Tianxing's head got a bit bigger, "Who could that be?"

  Lan Xilin helplessly shrugged her shoulders, "You ask me who to ask, as long as the Tianyan token is in my hands, they will definitely come looking for us. At that time, I'll settle this account with them properly. Now let's clean up the house first, I don't want my parents to see the house in this state when they wake up."

  Two people worked together to clean the house. Jin Tianxing rarely did household chores and got tired after a while, so he snuck away to rest on the sofa in the living room. When he looked up, he saw the dartboard hanging on the wall. Before leaving the old house, he was the last one to play darts. The five darts were randomly stuck on the board, but now all five darts were stuck in the red center. He walked up to the board and observed carefully. The holes left by the darts in the red center seemed to be more than before, and the five darts were stuck very deeply, showing that the person who threw them had a lot of strength. For some reason, Jin Tianxing suddenly thought of Qingqing.

  "You're lazy again." Lan Xinlin walked into the living room with several food bags.

  Brocade Heaven Row said, "I didn't slack off, I was studying the case, this thief has played dartboard before."

  Lan Xilin walked in, took a look and said, "This thief's flying dart technique is not bad, comparable to my sister's." She looked at the dart body again, "No fingerprints, this thief is really cautious."

  Jin Tianxing had a strange feeling, this thief was quite familiar with the situation of the Lan family, whether it was the old house in the countryside or their current home, he hesitated about whether to tell his feelings to Lan Xinlin.

  Lan Xinlin said angrily, "This thief is really infuriating, nothing was stolen, but all my snacks were eaten. Just like my sister, she would often sneak and eat my snacks when she's at home."

  A thought flashed through Jin Tianxing's mind and he shivered with cold sweat, could this thief be Blue Heart Lin's sister?

  Lan Xinlin pushed him slightly, "What are you spacing out again? Hurry up and work, my parents will wake up soon."

  Jin Tianying let out a low voice and continued working with his head down. The two of them worked non-stop for the entire afternoon, finally restoring the house to its original state before Chen Ya and Lan Tian woke up. Exhausted, they sat on the sofa without moving, Lan Tian smiled and said to Chen Ya, "Young people these days are really not good enough, when we were young, after finishing farming, we could still go fishing and catching shrimp in the lake, and at night, we could climb mountains to watch the stars. Look at them two, they're already exhausted from coming back from the countryside."

  Lan Xinlin glanced at Lan Tian, thinking that you slept all the way back, and didn't see anything at home. If young you were like us, doing it for an afternoon would be much better than us two.

  Chen Ya made a few small dishes, and after a tired afternoon, Jin Tian Xing and Lan Xin Lin wolfed down the food in an instant. Chen Ya couldn't help but say, "Eat slowly, don't choke, your eating manners are like those of a malevolent spirit reincarnated. Let Jin have some, he's our guest." Lan Xin Lin pretended not to hear and competed with Jin Tian Xing to scoop food into her own bowl.

  After dinner, Jin Tianxing sat at Lan Xinlin's house for a while and returned to his own residence with fatigue. All the way, he was thinking about a question: would the thief be Lan Xinlin's sister? Opening the door, Jin Tianxing was stunned. His place was like Lan Xinlin's home, messy and chaotic. Jin Tianxing's eyes turned black, almost fainting.
