Genius club

moment.

Ji Lin frowned slightly.

But in an almost imperceptible moment, his eyebrows relaxed again, as if the frown just now had not happened.

but……

This completely instinctive reaction did not escape Lin Xian's observation.

He did it on purpose.

In fact, for so long, he had not caught any clues about the substantive connection between Ji Lin and Zhou Duanyun.

The two of them seemed to be complete strangers in secret and overtly, and no one knew each other.

Although Lin Xian had always suspected that they were the same group of people...but suspicion was suspicion. Without evidence, these speculations were untenable.

but now.

Even Ji Lin reacted quickly, almost immediately.

But in the end he was caught.

The moment he frowned in disgust and impatience undoubtedly confirmed the fact——

[He knows Zhou Duanyun, and seems to have had some connections with Zhou Duanyun. 】

This is really an unexpected gain...

Lin Xian's original intention was just to trick Ji Lin and see his reaction in his eyes.

I didn't have any expectations at first, I just gave it a try.

Ah.

Now, many things became clearer.

In front of Ji Lin, Lin Xian pressed the dial button——

After a long silence.

A mechanical beep came from the phone:

"The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable, please call again later."

Lin Xian hung up the phone:

"My classmate is a big entrepreneur, and he is usually very busy. Since the call cannot be reached, maybe he is in the underground garage or the elevator?"

"It's also possible that he went abroad."

Ji Lin replied calmly:

"If you are going abroad and the corresponding service is not activated, this will be the same prompt when you call his mobile phone."

"I see."

This was Lin Xian's knowledge blind spot, but it didn't matter, he had already got what he wanted.

"Ji Lin, are you familiar with the name Zhou Duanyun?" Lin Xian began his second wave of testing.

"It's familiar."

Ji Lin said casually:

"The chat history extracted from Tang Xin's mobile phone at that time included the chat history between Tang Xin and Zhou Duanyun. The two of them prepared a gift for you together. Of course I remember it."

…

Lin Xian let out a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, Ji Lin is still Ji Lin.

He just showed a little bit of clues, but he quickly returned to his proper wit and intelligence.

His answer was seamless and reasonable. And to be able to react so quickly, I can only say that... he is indeed a genius mystery novelist.

"If you go abroad, then I, a classmate, probably won't be able to come to your birthday party."

Lin Xian chuckled:

"That's such a shame."

"It's no shame."

Jilin stall stalls:

"Do you have any other friends?"

"Then there is only one. In fact, I only have one friend in Donghai City. He works in a 4S shop and is my childhood friend. Are you sure you want to invite him? He may be able to eat your cake in two bites."

"That's impossible."

Ji Lin shook his head:

"What I ordered was a big three-layer cake, and the hippopotamus couldn't even finish it after two bites."…. .

Lin Xian recalled Gao Yang eating Husai with lobster shells at the MX Company celebration banquet...

Maybe in a sense.

Gao Yang is more powerful than a hippopotamus.

"Fine."

Lin Xian responded:

"I'll ask him then. This friend of mine is pretty easy to call. As long as there's something delicious to eat, he's basically always there."

Say it.

Lin Xian went to the bathroom, washed his hands, picked up his clothes, and left.

Before closing the door, he took one last look back at the festively decorated living room.

Bright.

beauty.

Colorful.

This is like a hymn of victory, but... I don’t know who it will be sung to.

"Goodbye, Ji Lin."

Lin Xian waved his hand and closed the door.

boom.

…

At ten o'clock at night, the mahogany double door was opened, and then pushed open by the old man's dry palm.

He hung his black woolen felt hat on a hanger by the door.

Looked up.

I was shocked when I looked at the brightly lit, colorful and tidy living room with flashing lights everywhere:

"When I got out of the car just now, I was wondering if the sun was rising from the west today, but you were willing to turn on the lights at night. But looking at it now...it doesn't seem like it's as simple as the sun rising from the west..."

He turned his head and looked at Ji Lin, who was still sitting in the same place on the floor, half-lying and admiring the light pollution in the room:

"Are you going to hold a party?"

Ji Xinshui--\u003e\u003e

He couldn't accept the scene in front of him. He had watched this child grow up since he was a child, but now he didn't recognize this child even more.

"hybrithday."

Ji Lin raised his hand and pointed at the large banner hanging above the TV, with these two English words written on it in colorful fonts——

hybrithday

"It's not a party." Ji Lin closed his eyes:

"It's a birthday party."

Only then did Ji Xinshui understand, and nodded slowly as if enlightened...

"I see, May 3rd is your birthday."

immediately.

He smiled and looked at Ji Lin with admiration:

"Well done! I was wondering before I came. Now that Lin Xian is so cautious, what chance do we have to expose him outdoors at 00:42... I didn't expect you to still have this trick! Birthday party, It's perfect so we can control exactly when he leaves here."

"But Ji Lin... you're still not smart enough."

Ji Xinshui clasped her hands behind her back and looked at the latte art ribbons all over the room, as if she was already in the midst of victory:

"If you are smart enough, you should hold your birthday party on the night of May 2nd, so that you can use a more reasonable and unnoticed reason to keep Lin Xian until the early morning to celebrate your birthday."

hehe.

Ji Lin chuckled.

Ji Xinshui never cared about which day his birthday was. He only cared about how to use his birthday as an excuse to kill Lin Xian. Even if...May 2 was not his birthday at all, he didn't care.

"arrogant."

Ji Lin stood up from the floor and looked at Ji Xinshui:

"Will you give me a birthday present?"

"This is really an interesting question." Ji Xinshui put his hands behind his back, turned around, and looked at Ji Lin sitting on the ground:

"I think... you are no longer a child looking forward to birthday gifts, right? For us, I think that after we successfully kill Lin Xian at 00:42, the invitation letter to the Genius Club will belong to you. The best birthday gift ever!”…. .

Ji Lin didn't say much.

He curled up his legs, stood up from the floor, and stretched:

"Arrogance, are you sure that after killing Lin Xian, you will receive an invitation letter from the Genius Club? Was it promised to you by the person in charge of the Genius Club?"

"I am not sure."

Ji Xinshui shook her head and continued:

"But I think this is very close... [Because I found Lin Xian, the person who disrupted history, myself."

He looked at Ji Lin with dry eyes and said slowly:

"Now that things have happened, you have guessed many things, and I won't hide them from you anymore."

"Those people I killed before, Xu Yun, Tang Xin, Pang Simai...etc., etc., actually I don't know how they disturbed history. I was just following orders. That's why these people killed so cleanly, because There is no possibility of killing by mistake.”

"But Lin Xian is different... I found him myself! This has a completely different meaning! I think the best way to prove to the genius club that we are capable... is to personally find a person who disrupts history, and then Kill him!"

"You did a great job in forging history. Although you sacrificed Greedy and Gluttony...but it doesn't matter, they themselves are used for sacrifice. I can add the next Greedy and Gluttony at will, just like their code names... …The seven deadly sins of human nature all come from desire. As long as they have desire, they will eventually become my pawns.”

Ji Lin walked to the dining table and looked at the flying chess pieces placed on it.

"Arrogance." He picked up a black chess piece and placed it on the table.

"Jealous." He picked up a green chess piece and placed it next to the black one.

"Rage." Red.

"Lazy." White.

"Greed." Yellow.

"Gluttony." Brown.

"Lust." Purple.

"You are right. All the seven deadly sins come from the most primitive desires of human beings. As you said, desires will make humans become your pawns."

"But... you seem to have forgotten one thing."

Ji Lin looked up at Ji Xinshui, picked up the first black chess piece, and placed it in front of the other chess pieces:

"Arrogance, you are also in desire, and it is desire that is considered the first of the seven deadly sins."

"perhaps……"

"[You are also a chess piece.]"

However……

Ji Xinshui smiled disapprovingly and shook his head:

"Ji Lin, you think too much about these things. The moment you see the invitation to the Genius Club... you will understand everything."

"The most important thing you need to consider now is how to keep Lin Xian from this house until 00:42 on the night of May 3."

"The time from your birthday party to 00:42 is really too long... If you can't find a reasonable reason and motive, it will 100% arouse Lin Xian's suspicion. He is not a fool, why did you Can you guarantee that you can keep him?”

Ji Lin sat on the chair next to the dining table.

Pushing down the two yellow and brown flying chess pieces, he then looked up at Ji Xinshui:

"Remember what I said to you at the beginning, right?"

"I asked you if you would mind if I deliberately revealed some of our intelligence to the person who disrupted history in order to catch him. You said at the time that it would be no problem."… .

"Of course, no problem." Ji Xinshui replied:

\u003e "For such a dying person, it doesn't matter if you say more. Just make sure that Lin Xian can die at 00:42."

Ji Lin nodded:

"Then you don't have to worry, I have a way to keep Lin Xian."

"Then I'll... wait and see what happens." Ji Xinshui walked to the door, took off the hanging black woolen felt hat, and covered her head:

"I'll find a good seat nearby to watch the show."

…

At the same time, in the living room of Chushanhe Manor.

Lin Xian and Chu Shanhe sat on chairs, with hand-drawn sketches of the lakeside villa area in front of them.

Lin Xian pointed to the four circles marked with red pen on the manuscript paper:

"The location of these four manhole covers is very important."

Chu Shanhe nodded:

"I remember."

After saying that, he raised his head:

"Ji Xinshui's entry information has also been found. He has indeed returned to China. However, there is no entry information for Zhou Duanyun... His last departure information was from Donghai City to Sakura Country, and the subsequent itinerary cannot be found."

Lin Xian leaned back and leaned on the back of the wooden chair:

"There's nothing we can do about it. Although we all want to close the net and catch them all in one go, it's not our decision. But as long as we can catch Ji Lin and Ji Xinshui, it's enough. The rest can be done slowly Come. At least... Ji Xinshui is an important figure among them, even if he is not their core."

Chu Shanhe also leaned back on his chair, feeling quite worried:

"Lin Xian, there is another most critical issue that we have to consider now."

"You also know that under the laws of the Dragon Kingdom, if a suspect is only suspicious but does not have any evidence to prove his crime, then the most we can do is summon him and assist in the investigation."

"This kind of investigation has a time limit. If there is no evidence directly related to the case, the person must be detained for up to 24 hours and then released. Of course, if there is evidence, even a little bit of relevant evidence, this time can be extended."

"But... based on your current plan, I'm very worried about this."

Chu Shanhe crossed his arms and looked at Lin Xian:

"Ji Lin is a very smart person, not to mention that Ji Xinshui is also a very capable and powerful person. When you told me the names of these two people today, I was really surprised. I never thought it would be them."

"Ji Xinshui's power is very huge, and he is also a very high-status presence in the fields of national medicine and world medicine. I think with the cooperation of the two of them, as you said, they may have cleared away all the suspicions. ”

"Even if a taxi driver hit you on the night of May 3... Let's not talk about anything else. Even if we can really determine that the taxi driver committed murder intentionally, how can we prove it? Is it related to Ji Lin, Ji Xinshui, Zhou Duanyun and others?"

"Just like what happened with Sergeant Sam, I naturally believe what you say. Behind Sergeant Sam, Ji Xinshui and Ji Lin are commanding. But it's useless for the two of us to just believe it out of thin air. Evidence is more important than anything else. Solving the case and trying it It’s also inseparable from evidence.”

"so……"

Chu Shanhe paused and continued:

"If we arrest them, but all the evidence shows that the case has nothing to do with them, and they do not admit any criminal facts within 24 hours, and all clues and evidence prove that they are innocent..."

"What should we do?"
