Chapter 168 Trap
Lin Xian took the information and opened it to look through it.

The vast majority of them were printed out WeChat chat records, a lot of them, sorted by time, including the chat records between himself and Tang Xin.

Obviously, this was extracted from Tang Xin's mobile phone.

but……

Except for the chat records with herself which are relatively normal, the chat records with other men are really disgusting, like a slut.

Lin Xian tried to find some flaws in it, but found it difficult.

In these chat records, Tang Xin's typing habits, punctuation habits, and even common emoticon habits are exactly the same as when he was chatting. It is impossible to tell the truth from the false just from this.

It’s hard to believe…

If all of this was really fake, then how much effort did Zhou Duanyun and his team put in to make it so detailed?
however.

As Lin Xian flipped through the pages, he still found a [loophole]!
00:42
He discovered that Tang Xin would chat with a man until very late every day, and her words were naturally very explicit and ambiguous, and some of her remarks were really unbearable to watch.

There are chat records with this man almost every day around 00:42.

But Lin Xian remembered it clearly!

On the night of the class reunion, I pulled Tang Xin aside at 00:41 and chatted with her for a long time. During this time, Tang Xin had no time to use her mobile phone at all!

Also, on the day when Gao Yang, Zhou Duanyun, and Tang Xin and I had dinner together in Donghai City, I also stopped Tang Xin at 00:42, and then stood and chatted for a while. Tang Xin also did not use her phone! It was not until she got in the taxi that she took out her phone to show the driver the location of the bar.

and so.

Here comes the problem——

[Since Tang Xin did not use her phone around 00:42 on these two days, where did the ambiguous messages she sent to other men at this time come from? ]

【Isn't this obviously fake? 】

Lin Xian turned to the last page of the information...

There were also some ambiguous chat records like those of a sea king scumbag, and there were also chat records with Zhou Duanyun, which were sent in the afternoon. Zhou Duanyun said that the gift was ready and he would call her when it was almost evening.

That’s all for the information.

Judging from the chat messages at 00:42 that shouldn’t have existed on those two days, Lin Xian was sure that all these chat records were forged.

but……

He didn't tell Ji Lin directly.

Not right.

He sensed something was wrong.

But I'm not sure what's wrong yet.

"what happened?"

Ji Lin looked at Lin Xian in silence and asked:
"Did you discover another side of Tang Xin that no one knows about? Are you feeling uncomfortable? You've also seen your chat history with Tang Xin. Although it's not as cheesy and explicit as with other men, we can all see that you two are actually quite intimate."

Lin Xian neither answered nor denied.

These are all facts.

In his heart, he was still thinking about these fake chat records, and... the role that Ji Lin played in today's smooth events.

"Like you said, Lin Xian, chat records cannot be considered absolute evidence. You and Tang Xin are relatively familiar with each other. If you find anything wrong, you can tell us and we can verify and investigate further."

Lin Xian nodded and looked at Ji Lin:

"Can I look at it again? I didn't look at it carefully just now."

"Of course, take your time to look at it." Ji Lin spread his hands, sat on the chair, folded his arms, and stared at Lin Xian silently.

Lin Xian naturally noticed his gaze, but pretended not to notice and continued to read the materials from the beginning.

He seemed to be looking at each page carefully...but in fact he was deliberately making sure that the time he spent on each page was balanced and similar.

There were only two pages he really wanted to read, but in order to prevent Ji Lin from noticing that he was particularly concerned about those two pages, he had to make sure that the time he spent on each page was roughly the same.

at last.

He turned to the records of the day of the class reunion.

Some were with Gao Yang, and some were with many other men.

That's right...

This time Lin Xian saw it clearly.

At 00:42:12, Tang Xin sent the man an extremely ambiguous message:

"I miss you so much and can't wait to go back and see you."

Wow.

Lin Xian didn't pause for too long. He just turned the page and continued to read the next one.

This record is absolutely forged.

At that time, Tang Xin was chatting with me and her hands were handcuffed by me. How could she have the time to send a message?

Since this piece of information is definitely fake, it goes without saying that when you find a cockroach, your whole house is already full of cockroaches.

This is enough to show that all these chat records are almost forged and false.

Lin Xian continued to keep turning the pages at a constant pace until the day when the four of them met for dinner in the East China Sea.

same……

00:42:47 seconds.

Tang Xin still sent a message to the man:

"I'm having dinner with my classmates tonight, so I can't come to see you. Hehe, I'll go to your house early tomorrow."

It also comes with an emoticon pack that Tang Xin often uses.

At this time, Lin Xian had just pulled Tang Xin back from the taxi. The two were standing on the sidewalk, discussing where to go and chatting for a while. Tang Xin also had no time to play with her phone.

Wow.

Lin Xian still didn't stay on this page for too long, he just turned it over and looked at the next page.

By now, he had understood it completely.

I can easily prove Tang Xin's innocence. I just need to tell Ji Lin that Tang Xin was with me at these two points in time and she had no time to play with her phone. I can be very sure that Tang Xin definitely did not play with her phone during the two minutes from 00:41 to 00:43.

In this way, Tang Xin's innocence can be proved and all the chat records can be directly overturned.

[This is something that only I can prove. Only I would pay so much attention to the time point of 00:42. Only I can be 100% sure that Tang Xin was not playing with her phone at this time.]

【Only myself. 】

Wow.

Lin Xian calmly flipped through the documents in his hand, still maintaining a balanced pace as he examined each page.

But I am thinking quickly in my heart.

only myself……

But here's the problem.

Why am I the only one who cares so much about the time point 00:42?
At any other time of the day, he couldn't remember what he was doing. But at 00:42 on the side of the road, he remembered it clearly every time.

Before Tang Xin's death, no one in the real world would pay special attention to the time point of 00:42.

Because if there is no second case, the time when Xu Yun died at 00:42 is just an extremely ordinary time point, without any special meaning. No one would pay attention to it.

I paid special attention to it at that time because Big Face Cat's father in the dream also died at this time. So after comparison, this time point has special significance.

therefore……

This is a trap!
If I stand up now, tell Ji Lin about my discovery, and insist that Tang Xin was not playing with her phone at 00:42.

This is so weird!

It is very likely that Ji Lin’s next sentence will be:
"Why do you remember the events of 00:42 so clearly these two days? Is this time point important to you?"

Looking at it now, Tang Xin and Xu Yun both died at 00:42, which can be explained clearly.

But at that time, Tang Xin was not dead yet, and only Xu Yun died at 00:42. What reason was there to care about this time point?

This time point is too ordinary and too normal.

If Ji Lin really asked this question, it would be very difficult for me to explain.

You can't say that I just happened to look at my watch on those two occasions, and just happened to grab Tang Xin and just happened to chat with her for a long time, so I remember it so clearly?

Too fake.

Lin Xian can't take this risk.

After Tang Xin's death, he had reason to care about this time point; but before Tang Xin's death, he had no reason to care about this time, unless -

[He admitted that he learned in the future that Big Face Cat's father also died at 00:42. ]

Snapped.

Lin Xian turned the last page, put the thick document back on the table, and sighed:

"I have nothing to say."

"Are you feeling disappointed?" Ji Lin asked.

"Kind of."

Lin Xian replied:

"It's quite surprising. I don't know what to say. After all, my chat history is also in it... I don't know what kind of existence I am in Tang Xin's eyes."

Ji Lin narrowed his eyes, looked at Lin Xian, and said nothing.

"Thank you for today."

Lin Xian stood up and walked towards the door:
"Thank you for letting me see this. Although I feel very complicated, it is better to know the truth than not to know it."

He strode away.

To retreat in order to advance, this is Lin Xian’s strategy.

He thought that since he and Ji Lin had only met once, the other party should not bring him to see these police secrets.

So what is his purpose?
Did he think he was a criminal suspect and wanted to trick me into telling the truth? To find my flaws?

Or... is there another purpose?
But no matter what, he couldn't joke about his own safety.

"Farewell."

Lin Xian opened the office door and strode out.

He was quite surprised.

According to his guess, if Ji Lin had any purpose, he should have called him. In fact, when he explained the relationship with Xu Yun before, there were still some untenable points, but Ji Lin did not ask in detail.

Lin Xian really couldn't understand this person.

He also thought about it along the way...

Huang Que said that her cat-and-mouse game had begun, and from her point of view, she was definitely the mouse.

Who is that cat?
Zhou Duanyun is undoubtedly part cat.

What about the other part?
Could it be Ji Lin?

According to my previous guess, these cats will come to me sooner or later. If their purpose of killing is related to "hibernation research"... perhaps what I lack now is to prove that I have provided help to Xu Yun.

Xu Yun died because of his research on hibernation, Tang Xin died because of his research on hibernation, and if it is finally proved that he is also related to the hibernation research, will he kill himself because of it?

But... then again.

There are so many people studying hibernation around the world, we can't just kill them all, right? What are the criteria and screening mechanisms for the murderers?
At the gate of Donghai City Public Security Bureau, Lin Xian stopped a taxi.

He didn’t know whether Ji Lin was the “cat” or not.

But he believes...

If Ji Lin is really the cat, he will definitely come looking for me again.

If he is not, then the two will most likely not have any intersection in the future.

Donghai City is so big.

If you don't specifically want to see someone, it's difficult to see them.

"I hope you're not."

The taxi started, Lin Xian turned around and looked through the window at the Donghai City Public Security Bureau which was gradually moving away.

He likes the books written by Ji Lin very much.

It is said that a book reflects its author. Ji Lin's book gives people the feeling that the author should not be such an unforgivable person who kills without blinking an eye.

but……

Who can say for sure?
……

A lakeside villa in the suburbs of Donghai.

"I heard you failed?" Zhou Duanyun sat on the sofa, twirling the car keys with his fingers, looking at Ji Lin squatting among the books with a mocking look:
"Is this rat so hard to catch?"

"He is smarter and more cautious than I thought." Ji Lin said softly:
"But he seems to be a little weaker than I thought... According to my previous guess, since he has the ability to disrupt history, wouldn't it be easy for him to kill someone silently?"

Ji Lin looked up at Zhou Duanyun:
"In the end, you were fine. I thought Lin Xian was going to kill you."

"You fucking bastard!" The key in Zhou Duanyun's hand flew out, and he glared at Ji Lin:

"Don't tell me you guessed the wrong person! If it wasn't for killing Lin Xian, I wouldn't have come to partner with you!"

"There are two possibilities." Ji Lin lowered his head and said:
"First, maybe I guessed the wrong person. The person who disturbed history was not Lin Xian."

"Secondly, Lin Xian is indeed the one who disrupted history, but his abilities are very limited. He does not have the supernatural powers we imagine, and he cannot do whatever he wants to a certain extent. He is still bound by the rules and laws of reality."

"Then what should we do?" Zhou Duanyun was very impatient:

"He is so cautious, and we don't know the original history. How can we prove that he has disturbed history? This is an impossible task!"

"It's okay." Ji Lin raised his head and stood up from the pile of books:

"Since we don't know the original history..."

"【Then let's artificially create a... fake history.】"
