Chapter 183 To the Moon

Secondment letter?
I'm not a detective, why would the Donghai City Public Security Bureau send me this thing?

Lin Xian took it.

On the lower right side, there is indeed the administrative seal of the Donghai City Public Security Bureau, and the header reads "Second Transfer Letter", addressed to MX Company.

Looking at the content, it is a very templated statement, which is to send a letter to MX Company to notify it that in order to solve the case, MX Company will second Lin Xian to the [Xu Yun Case Special Investigation Team] to assist in the work for a period of one month, which can be extended if necessary.

"Why do you suddenly want to second me?" Lin Xian was puzzled.

"I don't know." Zhao Yingjun shook his head.
"We don't know about that. Generally speaking, the police won't release details of this kind of case until the case is completely solved. But this kind of secondment letter is not mandatory. If you want to go, you can go. If you don't want to go, you don't have to show up. Our company can just reply and refuse."

Lin Xian lowered his head and looked at the red seal on the secondment letter.

Normally, the Donghai City Public Security Bureau would never second a small fry like me. I really can't help at all in the field of solving cases and I don't have any experience.

Then, after thinking about it, there is only one possibility -

[It was Ji Lin who recommended me to the Public Security Bureau. In other words... it was Ji Lin behind the scenes who invited me to join the special investigation team for the Xu Yun case.]

Ji Lin now has a very high prestige in the Donghai City Public Security Bureau and has a lot of say, so it would be easy for him to accomplish such a thing.

This secondment letter... really has a bit of the flavor of the Hongmen Banquet.

Now, Lin Xian has basically confirmed that Ji Xinshui, Ji Lin, and Zhou Duanyun are in the same group.

The three of them are not only related to the murder of Xu Yun and Tang Xin, but are also currently trying to find flaws or evidence in themselves... and once this is confirmed, they will almost 100% find a way to kill themselves in the same car accident at 00:42.

This is what Huang Que calls his own “cat and mouse game”.

Some time ago, Lin Xian ran around in an attempt to find more information about the murderers.

It is conceivable that the opponents should not be idle during this period.

Ji Lin sent me this "secondment letter", which was actually like a challenge. His purpose must be to call me to his side, and then find out my secrets in daily contact and work.

"wrong."

Lin Xian thought to himself... this couldn't be considered a declaration of war, because what he had discovered so far about the name Ji Xinshui, as well as the past between Ji Xinshui and Zhou Duanyun, were all accidental incidents, and Ji Lin probably didn't know about this.

In other words, Ji Lin didn't know that he had been exposed.

From his perspective, he did not realize that he was also one of the murderers; he was still playing a good guy, a good guy who tried to find the murderer who killed Xu Yun, and a good guy who mourned for Tang Xin.

Looking at it this way...

The advantage actually returned to his side, as he had more intelligence information than Ji Lin.

Then.

Should I go to this Hongmen Banquet?
Lin Xian was still a little hesitant.

Reality is not a dream. We don’t have enough lives to try and make mistakes countless times.

Although there is a saying that one cannot get a tiger cub without risking it, it is very dangerous to come alone to Ji Lin's territory and under Ji Lin's nose.

Ji Lin is so smart that he will definitely set many traps for himself. If he is not careful, he might be in trouble.

But then again.

Since he had already locked onto Ji Lin, Ji Xinshui, Zhou Duanyun and the others... then if he wanted to bring them to justice and avenge Xu Yun and Tang Xin, he would indeed need to contact them to look for flaws and clues.

This cat-and-mouse game of hide-and-seek is about who can find the other's weakness first and who can eliminate the other first.

From this perspective, there are risks and benefits. I should really get involved, pretend to be unaware, pretend to fall into Ji Lin's trap, and then turn the tables.

after all……

Since Ji Lin and the others were able to set a trap for me, why couldn't I take advantage of them and then design a trap for Ji Lin and the others that would expose myself?
"Let me think about it."

Lin Xian put away the secondment letter and looked at Zhao Yingjun:
"To be honest, Professor Xu Yun has such a good relationship with us and has helped us so much. If I can really help the police and catch the murderer as soon as possible... I am still willing to help."

Zhao Yingjun nodded:

"It's up to you to decide."

……

After coming out of Zhao Yingjun's office, Lin Xian looked at his watch.

It was still early, and there was still a long time until noon.

Zheng Chenghe said yesterday that he works the day shift as a taxi driver and now is his working time.

So if you go to the hospital at this time, there is a high probability that you will run into Zheng Xiangyue who is alone in the ward.

If you want to know whether Zheng Chenghe is suspected of killing Professor Xu Yun and Tang Xin...you just need to ask Zheng Xiangyue.

Besides, Lin Xian was also very curious about Zheng Chenghe's true identity and real experience; it seemed that he himself did not want to talk about the past, while Zheng Xiangyue was much simpler, and he should be able to find out the truth by just asking.

After leaving the company, Lin Xian took a taxi directly to Tunghai University Affiliated Hospital and arrived at Xu Yiyi's ward on the 17th floor.

The curtains inside were drawn, and the sunlight poured in, shining on Xu Yiyi, bathing her eyelashes and hair in a layer of glory.

She is still so quiet.

It was as if the world had never changed and would always be the same as when she fell off the slide.

Unfortunately……

In the years since she closed her eyes, the whole world has changed dramatically, and even her father who loved her the most has passed away.

The nurses here take good care of Xu Yiyi every day, and the bed sheets and quilt covers are very clean. Lin Xian is still very relieved about this. Zhao Yingjun has always been very thoughtful in doing things, and she will definitely not treat Xu Yiyi unfairly.

Lin Xian paced in the room, making some noise from time to time.

He knew that Zheng Xiangyue should be staying in the next room by herself at this time. If she was bored and had nothing to do, she would most likely come in. If she didn't come over after a long time, he would have to go to the next ward to talk to her.

However, children's minds are easy to understand. After a while, Zheng Xiangyue's cute little face with long black hair poked in from the half-open door.

"Brother Lin Xian?"

It must be that after he returned yesterday, Zheng Chenghe told Zheng Xiangyue his name, and she called it out directly today.

"Miss Yue?" Lin Xian pretended to meet by chance, turned around and smiled:

"I came to see Yiyi, where is your brother?"

"My brother went to work driving a taxi!"

Since they had just met yesterday, Zheng Xiangyue didn't feel strange at all and walked in cheerfully:

"Usually my brother goes out to work during the day, so I stay in the ward by myself... Sometimes I come to chat with Xu Yiyi, but I always talk to myself, and she probably can't hear me."

"It's hard to say." Lin Xian turned his head and looked at the calm Xu Yiyi:

"Maybe she can vaguely hear it. When she wakes up one day, you two will be good friends right away."

Afterwards, Lin Xian started chatting with Zheng Xiangyue.

Just as he thought.

Zheng Xiangyue has a serious congenital heart disease and must be under constant surveillance. Therefore, she has not left the hospital in all these years. At most, her brother would take her downstairs for a walk.

She had monitoring equipment on her body 24 hours a day. Zheng Xiangyue proudly showed the equipment to Lin Xian, saying that she felt very cool and like a robot.

Because she had no friends and no one to chat with during the day, she was very talkative when she met Lin Xian... There was no need for Lin Xian to deliberately guide her at all, Zheng Xiangyue directly told her about her family background.

According to Zheng Xiangyue.

She and her brother were both born in a poor rural area in Jiangsu Province, but she has few or almost no memories of her childhood, and most of them are from her brother. Their parents had a dispute with a village tyrant over the issue of homestead in the village in their early years. When Zheng Xiangyue was very young, the village tyrant led people to fight, and her parents died.

However, the village tyrants were not brought to justice as Zheng Chenghe said yesterday. In that era, the countryside was not so developed and there was not enough surveillance. After a series of actions by the village tyrants, the parents of the brother and sister were the first to take action.

In the end, the incident ended with one of the village tyrant's subordinates being sent to jail for a few years. After that, Zheng Chenghe and Zheng Xiangyue became orphans.

Zheng Chenghe was already an adult at that time and witnessed the tragic scene of his parents being beaten to death. However, for the sake of his young sister who had just been weaned, he could only endure it and support Zheng Xiangyue by doing physical work.

But the bullying of the village bully knew no end. Zheng Xiangyue couldn't remember what happened afterwards. She only remembered that the village bully's family kept a big hunting dog, which was very fierce and barked loudly. They let the dog out to chase and bite her and her brother.

The wound on Zheng Chenghe's face was sustained at that time.

"In fact, my brother has more injuries." Zheng Xiangyue continued:

"In fact, he could have run away earlier. Brother is very strong. But in order to protect me...that's why he was bitten like that."

"I heard all this from my brother. My memories before this are very vague. The doctor said that witnessing my brother being bitten was too much of a psychological shock for me, so I developed a certain degree of protective amnesia. I don't know if this is the reason."

Lin Xian sighed and touched Zheng Xiangyue's head:
"So what then? How did you come to the East China Sea?"

"My brother said that from then on, he knew he couldn't stay in the village, otherwise he would be bullied to death by these people sooner or later, so he took me far away from the village and came to the East China Sea."

Zheng Xiangyue felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke:

"At first I didn't live here, I lived in a rented house, but later my illness became more and more serious, so I was transferred here to be hospitalized. But my life got better afterwards, my brother also found a job as a taxi driver, and those bad guys were caught and put in jail!"

The child's expression really changed instantly. Zheng Xiangyue wiped her eyes and became happy again:
"My brother always says that good is rewarded with good and evil is punished with evil. This is really how the world works!"

Lin Xian smiled and said nothing more.

In Zheng Xiangyue’s little head, the world is so simple.

But if good is really rewarded with good and evil is really punished with evil... then what did Xu Yun and Tang Xin do wrong? What did Ji Lin and Zhou Duanyun do right?
but……

The more complicated you think, the unhappier you will be. Lin Xian has no intention of destroying Zheng Xiangyue's innocent happiness.

"Yes, since life is getting better and better, why do you always want to bury yourself on the moon? You are also a good child, your illness will definitely be cured, you should think about what you want to do when you grow up."

Lin Xian looked at Zheng Xiangyue:
“What do you want to be when you grow up?”

"Growing up..." Zheng Xiangyue sighed, smiled weakly, and looked at Xu Yiyi lying quietly on the hospital bed:
“I never thought about what I was going to do when I grew up.”

"why?"

"Because of me..." Zheng Xiangyue blinked her eyes: "Because of me, I can't grow up..."

She raised her head and looked at Lin Xian:

"I actually know, you are all just trying to comfort me. But I have secretly overheard the doctors and nurses' whispers many times... They all say that I will never grow up, that I won't live long, and almost every year they say that I won't live to see the New Year."

"But aren't you still growing up? You have to believe in miracles."

"The doctor said that the older you get, the more dangerous it becomes."

Zheng Xiangyue raised her hand and stroked her heart:
"My heart is so weak, the doctor said it can't support my growing body... and because of my special blood type, it's impossible to wait for a suitable heart... They said some time ago that I wouldn't live past my 14th birthday."

Lin Xian thought of what Zheng Chenghe said yesterday, that Zheng Xiangyue’s birthday is next month.

It wouldn't be long before they got there, and she would definitely survive.

I think there should be no problem, otherwise Zheng Chenghe wouldn't go to work so confidently.

"Look, it's your birthday soon, and the doctors are wrong again." Lin Xian took Zheng Xiangyue's hand:

"You will grow up to be tall and beautiful. Believe in yourself and believe in the scientists. They will definitely build the hibernation chamber soon."

"By the way, since you like the moon so much, your dream when you grow up should be to become an astronaut!"

"Astronaut?" Zheng Xiangyue tilted her head.

"Yes, astronaut." Lin Xian nodded and said seriously:

"When you become an astronaut, you can take a rocket to the moon for sightseeing. It must be beautiful to look back at the earth from there."

He took Zheng Xiangyue's little finger and made a pinky promise with her:
"Then it's a deal. When the time comes, you can stand on the moon and wave to me and your brother. We will definitely see it."

"Hehe, okay!" Zheng Xiangyue's world is very small, and she doesn't think too much about everything. She smiled and made a pinky promise with Lin Xian.

Lin Xian stood up:
"Your brother won't be home until the evening?"

"Yes." Zheng Xiangyue nodded obediently:

"He would switch cars with the night shift driver at around six every day, and then come to the ward to accompany me at around seven or eight."

"Does he work the day shift every day?" Lin Xian began to test the main purpose of today.

"It's basically the day shift. Occasionally, when the night shift driver has something to do, the two of them will switch... At that time, he will accompany me during the day and work the night shift at night."

Zheng Xiangyue answered every question very seriously:

"Actually, I really want my brother to have more rest...but he always comes to spend time with me whenever he has time, and he is really very good to me. And he gives me gifts on every holiday! Not just on my birthday, he brings me gifts on all holidays!"

"[So...what gift did your brother give you on New Year's Eve?]" Lin Xian asked with a smile:

"Although New Year's Day is not a holiday in the strict sense, your brother will definitely not miss it, right?"

"Of course!"

Zheng Xiangyue puffed out her chest proudly:

"On New Year's Eve, my brother and I watched the fireworks outside! And just after midnight, he gave me a surprise! He brought me a Rhine Cat doll that I could never put together! I love Rhine Cat the most!"

"Really? What a good brother."

Lin Xian stood up, and the stone that had been hanging in his heart fell down.

This place is located on the east side of the East China Sea and the other is located on the west side of the East China Sea. Even if you speed there at night when there is no traffic, it will take at least an hour.

So since Zheng Chenghe was still in the ward watching fireworks with Zheng Xiangyue at midnight...that means the driver who hit and killed Professor Xu Yun at 00:42 was not him.

After all, he doesn't know how to clone himself, and Zheng Xiangyue can't lie.

This result is good.

Deep down, Lin Xian still hopes that Zheng Chenghe, this unfortunate but strong big brother, is a good person. He hopes that good will be rewarded with good and evil will be punished with evil in this world. He hopes that one day he can really see Zheng Xiangyue waving proudly on the moon.

"What gift do you want for your birthday?" Lin Xian looked down at Zheng Xiangyue:
"I'll come and celebrate your birthday with you then."

"I want to go to the moon!" Zheng Xiangyue said stubbornly.

"But you really can't go now." Lin Xian smiled helplessly:
"At this stage, no country has the capability to land humans on the moon."

"No way! Tickets to the moon are already on sale!"

"what?"

Lin Xian was completely confused:

"In the game?"

"It's not a game... it's real! It's all on the news! I'll get it for you when I get back!"

Seeing that Lin Xian didn't believe her, Zheng Xiangyue trotted back to the next ward, then took out her phone and clicked on a news screenshot in her photo album:
"Brother Lin Xian, look, everything I said is true!"

Lin Xian took the phone with a doubt, and saw that it was indeed a piece of news not long ago -

《SPACE-T CEO and the world's richest man, Jaske, announced that while selling space travel tickets, he will also open reservations for moon travel tickets! Only ten seats available!》
