Chapter 194 Greed and Gluttony

At the same time, in the meeting room of the Xu Yun task force at the Donghai City Public Security Bureau.

"Tomorrow is April 4th. We must make a decision about the action tonight and early morning."

A male team member pointed at the photos on the projection screen one by one with a pointer:

"These five scientists are at risk of being exposed on the street at 00:42 tomorrow morning. However, for the sake of confidentiality and to avoid the murderer's ambush, our task force can only ambush in two places at the same time... I would not feel comfortable calling in police forces from other departments."

"Everyone has collected a lot of intelligence today. We must make a decision now. Let's start voting. Which scientist do you think is most likely to be assassinated at 00:42 tomorrow night?"

The team members in the conference room all pointed to the scientists who were studying hibernation.

This is obvious.

Because whether it is the guidance left by Ji Lin or the similarities between the cases of Xu Yun and Tang Xin, they are enough to show that the murderers were targeting these scientists in the field of hibernation.

And Lin Xian.

At this time, he firmly pointed his finger at one of the hibernation scientists:

"I think the two scientists at the airport were most likely not the murderer's target, because the passenger flow at Donghai Airport is really too large. At the same time, the internal roads are blocked, the taxi waiting area is lined up in an orderly manner, and the vehicles responsible for pick-up and drop-off are all parked in the underground parking lot. There is little possibility of a car accident."

"I think our main focus and police force should be on these two scientists who attended the science dinner."

All the team members nodded, agreeing with Lin Xian's opinion.

So the male team member in charge of the explanation operated on his mobile phone and directly removed the photos of the two scientists who arrived at the airport at midnight.

Now, the only people left on the screen are two scientists in the hibernation field who are attending the academic dinner, and Academician Lyon who is studying room-temperature superconductors.

“I think the Lyon academician can also be crossed out.”

The male member said:
"First of all, he is not a scientist in the field of hibernation. Secondly, he has been traveling around the world and attending many scientific banquets during this period, and he has been safe every time. The murderer will not have to kill him in Donghai City, right? And so far, there is no precedent of scientists in other fields being murdered. We have limited personnel, so we should focus all our attention on the two scientists in the field of hibernation. What do you think?"

"I agree."

Lin Xian raised his hand first, agreeing with the male team member's opinion, and said with a smile:

"We won't consider this person. According to Ji Lin's previous inference... Academician Lyon does not meet the characteristics of the deceased at all. He should be safe. We don't need to worry about him."

……

"I understand Ji Lin."

Inside a Japanese-style building in Kagawa Prefecture, the country of cherry blossoms.

Leon ate the snacks on the wooden table with big mouthfuls and laughed:
"So, all I have to do is delay the banquet tomorrow night and stand on the zebra crossing at 00:42?"

"Yes."

Ji Lin smiled with satisfaction:
"That's about it, but you have to remember the exact location. After all, we're just acting, not really causing an accident."

Ji Lin took out his tablet and clicked on a picture to show Leon:
"This is the zebra crossing at the back door of the Science Dinner Hall tomorrow night. Remember, it must be the back door. When you go to the banquet tomorrow, remember to check the spot in advance and remember the location."

"This zebra crossing is the fourth white line from the south. You must stand on this fourth white line at 00:42. Don't move. I have already made an agreement with [Gluttony]. He will drive the taxi past the fourth white line. As long as you don't move, you won't get hurt."

"In order to force out the person who disrupted history, we have to act realistically. So when the time comes, you must stand on the fourth white line and don't move. Gluttony will turn the steering wheel in time to avoid it."

"no problem!"

Lyon patted his chest and assured:
"My acting skills have always been good, otherwise how did I get my status and wealth?"

"Speaking of which, Ji Lin... I want to confirm with you again. Are you sure I can handle the patent licensing benefits of the room-temperature superconductor at will? Hehe... Several large international companies have contacted me about licensing issues, and the prices they offer are really irresistible!"

"When Pride gave me the manuscript, he didn't say so much, but since he didn't specify it, doesn't that mean I can do whatever I want with it? You two have to bear witness for me today that I have consulted you!"

Ji Lin lowered his head and smiled:
"Of course, you can dispose of all the patents we give you as you wish. You just need to do what you are supposed to do and don't let Pride down."

"Okay, okay, then I'm relieved hahaha! Leave tomorrow's affairs to me! It's just a matter of delaying the time until 00:42, and then standing on the fourth zebra crossing without moving. No problem at all!"

After saying that, he stood up from the low table and stretched himself.

"Is there anything else? If not, I'll leave... It's a rare opportunity to come to Sakura Country, so I'll take a leisurely stroll and fly to Dragon Country's East Sea for a meeting tomorrow."

"It's okay, let's go."

Leon pushed his fat body out of the sliding door, his footsteps faded away, and disappeared into the night with the sound of the car engine starting...

"It really deserves to be called [Greed]." Zhou Duanyun laughed:
"This is his last night of pleasure. Tomorrow night will be his death."

"Yes, we must make sure he dies tomorrow night no matter what."

Ji Lin also sat up from the tatami mat:

"If we want to verify Lin Xian's ability to predict the future and disrupt history, we must ensure that [Academician Lyon died in a car accident at 00:42] must have happened. Only in this way can we prove that Lin Xian does have some means of predicting the future."

……

"Just divide it into groups like this."

In the meeting room of the Donghai Police Station, a male team member pointed to the PPT on the projection screen, which divided the team members into two groups:

"Team A is lying in ambush near Scientist A, and Team B is lying in ambush near Scientist B. We set up a hidden blocking net in front of the road, and a hidden roadblock in the back. The primary goal is to protect the lives of the scientists, and the second is to catch the vehicle that caused the accident and prevent the murderer from running away again." "Why is Lin Xian's name not on the list?"

A female colleague discovered that Lin Xian’s name was not included in the grouping.

"Because Lin Xian is not one of our regular staff members, he does not have law enforcement authority and cannot participate in police operations according to regulations," explained the male team member.

"Sorry, I'll just give the command and coordination remotely." Lin Xian smiled embarrassedly:

"I'm not a professional, and if I rush to the scene, not only will I be easily exposed, but I might also hinder everyone. I will be responsible for the rear work."

"I believe everyone will gain something this time. Only if we catch the murderer, we can follow the clues and catch all the murderers behind the scenes!"

……

"So, we just need to wait here for the answer?"

In the wooden Japanese-style building, Zhou Duanyun also sat cross-legged at the low table and took a sip of tea:
"The Donghai City police are all paying attention to the hibernating scientists. If Lin Xian can really predict Greed's death, he will definitely find a way to stop it and arrest him."

"As long as he shows up at the scene, for whatever reason, we can consider this to be evidence that he can predict the future and disrupt history."

Ji Lin was silent for a while before answering faintly:

"Yes."

He stared at the teacup in front of him. The upright tea leaf in it rose and fell slowly with the rising hot steam, and finally sank to the bottom of the cup.

Ding-a-ling-ding-ling-ding-ling-ding-ling-ding-ling-ding-ling-ding-ling--

The cell phone rings.

He picked it up and saw that the caller ID was [Gluttony].

beep.

Press the answer button and put the phone to your ear:

"The road conditions at the banquet hall have been improved, right? Yes... You must count the positions of the zebra crossings clearly. At that time, the scientist will stand on the fourth white zebra crossing from the south at 00:42..."

Ji Lin picked up the teacup, took a sip, put it on the table, and nodded:

"That's right, just step on the accelerator and don't move the steering..."

"Just kill him."

……

January 4, 12 p.m.

There are still 10 hours before the Xu Yun task force begins action.

Lin Xian drove his Ferrari LaFerrari to the Tunghai University Affiliated Hospital, picked up a small bouquet of lilies on the passenger seat, entered the inpatient department, and pressed the elevator for the 17th floor.

He came to Xu Yiyi's ward.

Throw away the withered bouquet in the vase, replace it with a new bottle of water, then put the white lilies in the vase and place it on the table in the room.

He turned and walked to Xu Yiyi's bedside.

This girl, who had been sleeping for ten years, was thin and skinny, but when she was bathed in the sun, she looked as white and pure as a lily.

"Yiyi, tonight, everything is over."

He imitated Xu Yun and helped Xu Yiyi tuck in the corners of the quilt. Feeling that the wind was a little strong today, he walked to the bed and opened the window a little smaller.

"I will catch your father's murderer."

Lin Xian leaned on the armrest beside the bed and assured Xu Yiyi:
"I will catch them one by one... No one will be able to escape!"

He took a last look at the quiet Xu Yiyi.

Turn around and leave——

"Huh?" "Hmm?"

An unexpected man suddenly came in from outside the door.

A sturdy figure, a face full of scars, and a gentle smile:
"Mr. Lin, you are here to visit Yiyi."

The visitor was Zheng Chenghe, Zheng Xiangyue’s biological brother from the next ward.

Lin Xian looked out the window and saw the sun shining brightly.

It's daytime now...

He turned around and looked at Zheng Chenghe:
"You're not working today? At this hour...shouldn't you be working the day shift?"

"Ah, the night shift driver had something to do today, so we switched shifts."
