Chapter 193 The decisive battle begins

Redress?

Dr. Ponsmer?
Lin Xian was completely confused after reading this introduction...but he couldn't see any more details if he wanted to, as only a preview was provided here.

Lin Xian directly found the title of the book "Prospects of Controlled Nuclear Fusion Technology", then found where it was placed, ran to the second floor of the bookstore, found the book and started reading.

"So there is such a thing..."

According to the records in this book.

Academician Lyon is actually an academic fraudster and academic thief. All his research results are not his own. They were all stolen or robbed through illegal means.

However, no one discovered this matter until three years after his death, when a clue was found in a research manuscript unearthed from Dr. Ponsmer's basement, which revealed Dr. Lyon's dirty face.

Lin Xian read the record again in detail.

Arranged in chronological order, the development of things should be like this -

Dr. Ponsmer was a German scientist who had not achieved any significant success before this.

Fellow Lyon was a scholar at the University of Ghana and enjoyed a great reputation during his lifetime.

At some point, Academician Lyon murdered Dr. Ponsmer, then stole Dr. Ponsmer's research and published it under his own name.

Subsequently, Academician Lyon's fame rose rapidly and shocked the world.

But an accident happened soon and Academician Lyon died in a car accident.

It was not until three years after Lyon's death that people accidentally found a manuscript of "Breakthrough in Room-Temperature Superconductor Research" in Dr. Ponsmer's basement; after comparison, it was found to be exactly the same as the one previously published by Academician Lyon, and even more detailed!
At this point, the truth was revealed and everyone understood that it was Academician Lyon who maliciously stole Dr. Ponsmer's research results.

Later, an investigation into Academician Lyon's past was launched, and people completely exposed Lyon's true face, proving that he was an uneducated liar and an academic scum.

……

"So, the truth is that Dr. Ponsmar of Germany made a breakthrough in the field of room-temperature superconductors, and Academician Lyon of the University of Ghana is just an uneducated [fake]."

Lin Xian closed the book and began to think.

So here comes the problem...

If the murderer who killed Dr. Ponsmer is the same person who killed Xu Yun and Tang Xin.

So why did they create another fake imposter scientist and kill him again?

This makes absolutely no sense.

"Let's return to reality first and look up information about Dr. Ponsmer's death."

Lin Xian flipped through the book casually again, but could not find any other useful information.

600 years of history is too far away.

There is no way to find out the time of death of Academician Lyon and Dr. Ponsmer.

Lin Xian stayed in the bookstore until 00:42. The white light that was supposed to destroy the world arrived as expected and sent Lin Xian back to reality.

……

……

After opening his eyes in bed, Lin Xian immediately got up, turned on the computer, and began to search for Dr. Ponsmer's death information.

It has to be said that Ponsmer is indeed a little transparent. The information that can be found on the Internet is very limited and almost non-identifiable.

But after switching to the German search engine, Lin Xian soon found a useful piece of news:

In the early morning of March 2023, 3, Dr. Ponsmer died in a car accident on a suburban highway in Wolfsburg. The vehicle that caused the accident is still being searched for.

"Sure enough, he died a month ago."

This piece of news verified what was recorded in the book 600 years later.

And look at the description of this short news...

The time of death was in the early morning, the cause of death was a car accident, and the vehicle that caused the accident was not found.

These tiny clues are enough to show that the murderer who killed Dr. Ponsmer is most likely Ji Lin, Ji Xinshui, and Zhou Duanyun.

"Did Academician Nalion participate in this murder?"

Lin Xian recalled what was written in the book, which said that Academician Lyon was the murderer of Dr. Ponsmer.

It is difficult for Lin Xian to verify this point.

but……

No matter what the situation is, the fact that Academician Lyon was able to obtain Dr. Ponsmer's research results proves that he and Ji Lin and Ji Xinshui are inseparable.

"[If they are accomplices, why did they stage a 00:42 internecine slaughter later?]"

Lin Xian closed his eyes.

He feels...

Some very important clues are hidden in it!

miss you.

Think about it carefully.

Countless details and clues floated, connected, emerged, and reorganized in Lin Xian's mind.

1. Ji Lin designed a trap for Tang Xin to lure himself into the trap and lead himself into Xu Yun's special investigation team, but he quickly evacuated before Academician Lyon came to Donghai.

2. Ji Lin repeatedly induced and repeated in the investigation team that the murderer's next target should be a scientist in the field of hibernation. He always inadvertently weakened the concept of scientists in other disciplines, and his colleagues also firmly believed that the next victim should still be a scientist in the field of hibernation.

3. I was obviously just a pendant of Ji Lin in the beginning, but Ji Lin deliberately let me establish prestige in the Donghai City Public Security Bureau and solve cases. Even many clues were fed to me by Ji Lin so that I could take credit, as if he deliberately let me gain the trust of my colleagues in the investigation team.

4. Dr. Ponsmaier has been dead for almost a month. As soon as Academician Lyon published the results of his paper, Ji Lin immediately asked for the follow-up plan, and then left Donghai as soon as possible, leaving the "mess" to himself.

5. Ji Xinshui once wanted to kill Zhou Duanyun. Ji Lin and Ji Xinshui also conspired to kill Xu Yun, who was their relative... Since they could kill their own relatives, it is not surprising that they would kill their accomplices for some purpose.

6. The most important point is that they have obviously killed the real scientist Dr. Ponsmer, but they deliberately gave the research paper to their companions and forged a fake scientist Academician Lyon to come to the East China Sea to die... This looks like a deliberate [trap] and [bait]!
……

In an instant, Lin Xian opened his eyes and something enlightened him.

"I see."

Lin Xian took a deep breath, and finally saw through the huge trap that Ji Lin had painstakingly created for so long -

[He deliberately designed a fake scientist as bait, and also left himself a certain amount of say in the Donghai City Police Department... The purpose was to lure me into taking the bait and rescue this fake scientist! ]

"Ji Lin, you really hid it too deeply."

At this moment, Lin Xian really realized that this genius mystery novelist was really thoughtful and had played such a roundabout game of chess.

Normally, if I didn't have the supernatural ability to dream about the future, I would definitely not pay attention to Academician Lyon who was studying room-temperature superconductors, and would definitely focus on those hibernating scientists.

If I had the ability to predict the future, I would definitely know the death of Academician Lyon in advance. Under this premise, I would definitely send people to ambush near Academician Lyon, intercept the vehicle that caused the accident, and catch the driver and murderer in the car.

Lin Xian really wanted to catch the murderer as soon as possible and seemed to be almost impatient.

If it weren't for the information in the future book that stated that Academician Lyon was an academic fraud and a fake scientist, he would have really taken the bait this time; he really couldn't realize that this scientist was a fake, forged bait.

"but……"

Lin Xian frowned.

If I give up this opportunity to catch the murderer, will I have another chance?

Will Ji Lin give himself another chance to predict the murder scene?
think carefully.

Ji Lin’s trap was really too vicious.

I can hardly find a perfect solution.

If the police were to ambush near Academician Lyon in advance, Ji Lin could directly stop the murder attempt, and directly judge that he had the ability to predict the future, and he would directly [lose] the cat-and-mouse game. If the police were to ambush all the scientists in danger on April 4, this saturation rescue activity would also make Ji Lin stop the murder attempt. Although he avoided exposing his ability to predict the future, he lost a good opportunity to catch the murderer, which was also a disguised [loss] of this cat-and-mouse game.

If I completely ignored Academician Lyon and didn't ambush him in advance, then Academician Lyon would be killed, and the murderer would most likely successfully escape again... I would have worked in vain for so long, and in a disguised way [lost] this cat-and-mouse game.

……

Lin Xian scratched his head.

Is it really impossible to find a way to have the best of both worlds, without exposing yourself and yet catching the murderer?
After thinking for a long time, Lin Xian still couldn't find the answer.

The main reason is that Ji Lin can know his plan from the police at any time, know whether he intends to ambush near Academician Lyon, and adjust his murder plan at any time.

This is too difficult.

"It seems that there is no way to avoid being exposed."

Lin Xian felt that since Ji Lin had already done this, he had most likely already been locked up, but he just lacked hard evidence.

But for demons like them who kill without blinking an eye, if they are really forced into a desperate situation, whether there is ironclad evidence or not may not be that important.

"I don't have much time left. This trap is more like a challenge to a decisive battle issued by Ji Lin."

Lin Xian opened his eyes, looked at the neon night scene outside the window, and squinted:

“It’s time to… [get involved].”

He already had a plan in mind.

one……

A plan to deliberately fall into a trap, take advantage of the opponent's strategy, and turn defeat into victory!

……

the next day.

Lin Xian came to Zhao Yingjun's office.

"what happened?"

Zhao Yingjun, who was reviewing documents, raised his head.

"I want to lend you a car." Lin Xian said bluntly.

BORROR car?

Zhao Yingjun raised his eyebrows.

Lin Xian had never made such a request to her before...she certainly wouldn't refuse.

But why would Lin Xian, who has never been interested in luxury cars, borrow a car?

She was curious.

But in the end...

Wow.

She opened the drawer and took out all the car keys, placing them on the table:

"Open it at will."

Lin Xian didn't expect it to be so smooth:

"Aren't you going to ask me why I'm going to borrow the car?"

"I believe you."

Zhao Yingjun smiled and said:

"If you're going to do something interesting... remember to tell me when you're done."

"I will, thank you."

Lin Xian walked forward and directly picked up the red key of the Ferrari LaFerrari:
"I'll just drive this one."

Recalling that thrilling rainy night, and the high-speed race with Huang Que on the viaduct some time ago, Lin Xian smiled slightly:
“I love this Ferrari.”

……

boom! ! ! ! ! ! !
In Chu Shanhe Manor, the roaring Ferrari LaFerrari instantly stalled and stopped in the yard.

Chu Shanhe came towards him:
"Lin Xian, what's so important? You want to arrange a meeting with me."

"Mr. Chu."

Lin Xian got out of the car and looked at Chu Shanhe:
"I have something difficult to do and I need to trouble you."

He knew that Chu Shanhe would not refuse.

Because I saved Chu Anqing before, Chu Shanhe owed me a huge favor, so no matter what kind of request I made in the future... with Chu Shanhe's character, as long as it does not violate his principles, he will not refuse.

“Hahahahahaha…” Chu Shanhe laughed heartily, patted Lin Xian on the shoulder, and invited him to go inside:
"For me, there is nothing particularly difficult to do in this land of East China Sea. In fact, I'm very happy that you came to see me. Let's go in and talk about what you want. I will definitely help you get it done!"

……

night.

The country of cherry blossoms, Kagawa Prefecture.

In a Japanese-style wooden stand-alone building, Ji Lin was sitting at the tea table and Zhou Duanyun was leaning against the wall. The two seemed to be waiting for someone.

"【Greed】 is so slow." Zhou Duanyun complained.

"He's already a dead man, so don't rush him." Ji Lin said calmly.

"He has enjoyed enough in these years. His life is already worth it." Zhou Duanyun picked at his nails:

"An academic fraudster could become a national academician and almost win the Nobel Prize... It's magical."

After saying that, he raised his head and looked at Ji Lin:

"What if Lin Xian doesn't take the bait tomorrow? What if he's a coward?"

Ji Lin shook his head:
"He still has a strong sense of responsibility. Especially when faced with an opportunity to catch the murderer, he will not let it go easily."

"If he is a coward who is afraid of death, then he would not accept my invitation to join the task force. Obviously, while we want to catch Lin Xian, Lin Xian also wants to catch us. Maybe he has been eager to avenge Xu Yun and Tang Xin for a long time and is tired of playing house with us."

"So, we just need to wait here to see if Lin Xian will ambush around Lyon tomorrow. The members of the special investigation team of the Donghai Public Security Bureau will definitely target those scientists in the field of hibernation. This is the route we have reserved for them and the guidance we have always given them."

"So under this premise, if Lin Xian still insists on ambush near Academician Lyon... then the result is self-evident. Lyon's death itself is a false history we forged, but Lin Xian really took the bait, which is enough to prove that he must have the ability to predict the future and disrupt history. By then... we can kill him with good reason."

"Finally this day has come." Zhou Duanyun chuckled:
"I can't wait any longer."

Wow————

Wooden sliding door opens.

A fat, bald man walked in and looked at the two young men sitting inside:
"Ji Lin, I'm going to the East China Sea for a meeting tomorrow. Why don't you wait for me there? Why do you have to make me come to Sakura Country?"

After saying that, he looked at the man next to Ji Lin:
"Who is this?"

"This is [Jealousy], you haven't met him yet." Ji Lin said, pointing at the fat and big-eared man and introducing him to Zhou Duanyun:
"This is Greed. You joined the organization relatively late, and this is the first time you meet."

"Academician Lyon, I have long heard of your name. It is a pleasure to meet you."

Zhou Duanyun stood up with a laugh and took the initiative to shake hands with Academician Lyon.

"Okay, close the door." Ji Lin placed the teacup in his hand on the low wooden table and looked at Academician Lyon in front of him:
"Tomorrow morning's operation is crucial to Pride. If you mess it up, Pride will be very angry..."

"So, you have to remember every word I say."
