Start a mysterious island

Chapter 874 The Price of Greed (two chapters in one)

In the early morning, there was a loud noise outside the window.

"twitter……"

In the quiet bedroom with a faint fragrance floating around, the graceful figure lying on the bed woke up to the sound of birdsong outside.

"Ha~"

Su Yue yawned after waking up, rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand, then lifted the thin blanket covering her body and got out of bed.

"I didn't oversleep, did I?"

Su Yue, who had just woken up, was a little confused, muttering vague words, and then picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table to check the time.

"Eh!"

"this late……"

Finding that Su Yue, who had overslept, immediately woke up and ran to wash up.

After a while.

After having a simple breakfast, Su Yue returned to the bedroom to change clothes.

When the bedroom door opened, Su Yue, who had changed into a bright floral dress, walked out of the room. The hem of the dress reached to her thighs, revealing a large section of slender white legs, which was quite eye-catching.

"That's too late."

Su Yue muttered, picked up her bag and ran towards the entrance hall.

The bright sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves and falls on the ground, forming many small light spots. Occasionally, the wind blows and the trees sway, and the light spots on the ground also sway.

Just as Su Yue walked out of the corridor, a gust of wind blew against her body, ruffling the few strands of hair in front of her.

"It's such a strong wind!"

He walked quickly to the parking shed and pushed out the white little sheep electric car parked in the carport.

Su Yue put on her helmet and was about to set off when an old man came over.

"Teacher Su."

"Uncle Wu, what's the matter?" Although Su Yue was in a hurry to rush to school, but now someone stopped her, she didn't seem very anxious, but asked patiently.

"It's like this. The area where our community is located organizes a badminton competition. If you want to participate, you can sign up with me..." The old man said and handed a leaflet in his hand to Su Yue.

After a brief chat, the old man left and continued to promote the badminton game to other people in the community.

Su Yue had to rush to school as soon as possible and had no time to read the leaflet in her hand.

She folded the flyer and put it away, then started the white Sheep electric car and rushed to school quickly.

"Why are the roads being built again? Wasn't it just built a few months ago?"

When people are unlucky, all kinds of bad things will happen one after another.

Su Yue, who had overslept, rode her white Little Sheep electric scooter to school. A section of the road she usually walked on was cordoned off, making it inaccessible to any means of transportation.

Su Yue quickly thought about the new route in her mind, and then changed direction.

…………

In the teacher's office, Wang Jiao, who has a round face and is slightly chubby, is playing with her mobile phone.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the corridor, and then a slim and beautiful figure walked into the office.

"Teacher Su, good morning!" Some young male teachers who had no romantic partners greeted them enthusiastically.

"Good morning." Su Yue nodded and smiled. After responding to her colleagues, she came to her desk and pulled up a chair to sit down.

"Why did you come so late today?" Wang Jiao raised her head and looked at Su Yue, asking suspiciously.

"I overslept." Su Yue explained, "After the alarm clock rang in the morning, I turned it off. I wanted to take a nap for a few minutes before getting up, but I accidentally fell asleep..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the class bell rang, and the entire campus gradually became quiet.

"One minute later and I will be late." Su Yue muttered.

"Why didn't you wear a bracelet today?" Wang Jiao asked curiously when she noticed that Su Yue's fair wrist was not wearing the transparent and expensive jade bracelet.

"I was in a hurry to go out and forgot to wear it." Su Yue said, then picked up the empty water glass on the table, got up and went to the water dispenser to get water.

"Didn't you say before that after get off work today, you would go to your parents' friend's house for dinner?"

"yes!"

"Then you didn't forget to bring the gifts you prepared, right?"

"Forehead……"

Wang Jiao saw that Su Yue was silent and immediately knew that the other party had left the gift at home.

"Alas..." Su Yue poured a glass of water, returned to her desk and sat down, sighed and said, "I should have known better of not sleeping in."

"It's quite quick to go home. Just go back and get it after get off work." Wang Jiao comforted.

"That's all." Su Yue nodded, then picked up the water glass and took a sip of water.

"Ding dong."

The phone on the table rang, and someone sent a message.

"Xiaoyue, I just sent you a courier, remember to check it."

"Mom, there are too many things at home and there is almost no room. Please don't send me express delivery so frequently in the future!"

After Su Yue and Zheng Qiuyi finished chatting, Wang Jiao, who was playing with her mobile phone at the side, suddenly said, "Have you read the hot news this morning?"

"I haven't seen it yet. What happened?" Su Yue asked.

"Not far from where you live, a big bottomless hole appeared in the green belt on the street." Wang Jiao said, handing the phone to Su Yue and showing her the bottomless hole described in the news. Photo of the big hole in the bottom.

"This place looks familiar." After Su Yue looked at the photo, related memories came to mind.

"If I remember correctly, the place where this big hole appeared should be near the place where Lin Li sells breakfast in front of his house."

…………

Time passed and it was soon noon.

The sunny weather changed at noon.

The originally cloudless sky was now covered with clouds.

According to the weather forecast, it will rain lightly in the afternoon, so it is best to bring an umbrella with you when going out.

"Hiccup~"

After eating and drinking, Lin Li burped and walked out of a noodle shop.

After finishing his work in the morning, Lin Li returned home and played on the computer in his study until dinner time before leaving home to find a place to have lunch.

Now that it was almost time to meet up with Liu Jialin, Lin Li ejected the toothpick in his hand and accurately landed in the trash can in the distance.

This hand happened to be seen by some people passing by, with expressions of wonder on their faces.

Several people tried, but all failed without exception.

Lin Li quickly walked to the car parked on the roadside, opened the door and got into the driver's seat.

After fastening my seat belt, I was about to start the car when my phone in my pocket vibrated.

"I'm here, have you gone out?"

It was a message from Liu Jialin. After reading it, Lin Li immediately replied, "On the way. I should be at your place in another twenty minutes."

Putting away his cell phone, Lin Li started the car and headed to the agreed meeting place.

After reading Lin Li's reply, Liu Jialin put away her phone and said to Zhang Xiao beside her.

"He will arrive in twenty minutes. Let's check the surrounding situation again."

"Yeah." Zhang Xiao nodded when he heard this, and then quickly followed.

…………

The silver-white van drove in an orderly manner on the road, and Lin Li, who was tone-deaf, hummed a song.

In Lin Li's opinion, the task to be carried out this time was not too difficult. The only thing that had to be paid attention to was to ensure that all the criminals were caught.

I told Liu Jialin before that it would take 20 minutes to arrive at the meeting place, but it actually takes less time.

It took Lin Li fifteen minutes to reach the destination. He parked the car and walked quickly towards Liu Jialin's location.

On the left is a large construction site under construction, and on the right is a very old residential area.

Originally, the developer planned to develop all the land on the left and right sides, but some greedy people demanded too high demolition fees. As a result, the demolition plan for the old residential area on the right was shelved.

When everyone in the residential area that was demolished first received demolition fees, the people whose demolition was put on hold were furious at those greedy guys.

Lin Li walked into the residential areas where they had been demolished, and at a glance he saw many people standing in front of several houses and yelling curses.

"What is this for? Why are so many people blocking the door of these households?"

Lin Li didn't understand what was going on and was a little curious, but now he had other things to do and didn't have time to inquire.

After walking on the street for a while, I turned a corner and entered a small alley.

"Where are the people?"

When Lin Li arrived, he didn't see Liu Jialin. He subconsciously thought that he was in the wrong place.

So he quickly took out his cell phone from his pocket, opened the chat window, and looked through the previous chat history with Liu Jialin.

"I found the right place."

"Where did they go?"

Lin Li read the chat history with Liu Jialin and made sure that he was not looking for the wrong place. He was about to call and ask where the other person was when a familiar voice sounded behind him.

"Lin Li."

Lin Li turned around and saw Liu Jialin, with long wavy hair hanging behind her back and wearing a white T-shirt and blue jeans, walking towards him with a smile.

"I didn't see you just now, so I thought I was looking in the wrong place."

Liu Jialin explained, "You haven't arrived yet, so I will take someone to visit the place again to make sure nothing goes wrong."

Lin Li said, "That's it! Let's set off now! Solve the matter as soon as possible."

Liu Jialin said "hmm" and then led Lin Li out of the alley and quickly headed to the place where the criminals were hiding.

"On my way here just now, I saw a lot of people blocking the door. Do you know what happened?" Lin Li asked about what he had seen before.

"I know what you said. The families whose doors were blocked are responsible for themselves..." Liu Jialin recounted what she learned.

Lin Li said, "It's really greedy to go back on your word after negotiating the price. Now that you are like this, you have paid the price you deserve..."

After a while, the two people arrived at the edge of the old residential area.

Logically speaking, there are very few residents in the fringes of old residential areas, but the old residential area in front of us is very large, and even in the fringes, the number of residents is quite considerable.

Investigators arrest criminals, and security guards assist on the periphery. Setting up a cordon to clear the area is the most common method.

Lin Li didn't see any security guards setting up a cordon nearby, so he asked doubtfully, "Aren't there any security guards clearing the place?"

Liu Jialin explained with a smile, "Before we started taking action, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, the security officers were temporarily on hold."

"Captain." Zhang Xiao saw Liu Jialin and Lin Li arriving and hurriedly walked over from the corner.

"How is the situation inside?" Liu Jialin asked Zhang Xiao, looking at the two buildings dozens of meters away.

"They didn't notice us. The takeaway they ordered just arrived a few minutes ago, and they should be dining now," Zhang Xiao reported.

"You tell them they can start raising the cordon now."

"yes."

Lin Li saw Zhang Xiao take out his mobile phone from his pocket and make a call. Within a few seconds, all the security guards who had been hiding appeared, and then cordoned off the place where the criminals were hiding.

"What happened?"

"Isn't it obvious? The security guards want to catch the criminals."

"I think the investigators are going to take action, and these security officers are clearing the area."

Some nearby residents and passers-by saw the security guards setting up a cordon and immediately started talking enthusiastically.

A few people who were bolder and liked to watch the excitement approached and were immediately stopped by the security guards.

"Zhang Xiao, you stay outside to prevent any fish from slipping through the net." Liu Jialin said.

"Okay captain." Zhang Xiao nodded.

"Let's go." Liu Jialin greeted Lin Li, and then ran towards the building where the criminals were hiding.

Upon seeing this, Lin Li quickly followed. Liu Jialin was very fast. The two of them arrived at the wall in less than half a minute.

He bent his knees, jumped up, and climbed over the wall easily.

"I'm in charge of the building on the right," Liu Jialin said.

"Yes." Lin Li nodded, and then the two of them acted separately.

According to intelligence tips, this cunning group of criminals stole more than a dozen stores in a row in the past week, involving a total amount of over 100 million.

When Lin Li first learned about the case, his first thought was that these criminals had been stealing for a week continuously and had succeeded without exception. They were too greedy to not escape Rongcheng and continue to commit crimes after getting so much money.

Quietly approaching the building full of traces of time, this is a three-story building.

Because the location is relatively remote, the rent is very cheap.

The two buildings within the wall are all rented, and the monthly rent does not exceed 10,000 yuan.

Lin Li reached out and grabbed the door handle, tried it, and the door opened.

"You didn't lock the door?"

"You have committed such a big crime and are still so careless. What are you thinking in your head?"

Lin Li complained a few words, then opened the door grandly and walked in.

As soon as they entered the room, there was a burst of discussion from the direction of the living room.

“I didn’t expect money to come so easily.”

"If I had known this, why did I have to work so hard in the first place!"

"I'm so stupid. If I had done this earlier, I would have been rich."

There were several people sitting on the sofa, and their leftover takeaways were on the coffee table.

There is a lot of garbage on the ground, which was created by these people during the past few days they lived here.

"boom."

Continuous successes and a lot of money were obtained, which made these criminals feel very good. While they were chatting in full swing, there was a loud noise outside the window.

"what happened?"

"No, something happened to them."

"Let's run away quickly."

These criminals react very quickly. When they hear an unusually loud noise, their first thought is to run away with their illegal gains.

He hurriedly picked up the handbag containing a large amount of cash and ran towards the door, only to see a stranger standing at the door, blocking the way.
