Chapter 195 I'm No Worse Than You
Lin Xian looked at Zheng Chenghe silently...

In fact, Lin Xian has always been conflicted about this strong and gentle man.

He still couldn't figure out what Huang Que's purpose was in deliberately leading him to the hospital.

At first, he thought Huang Que was hinting at him that Zheng Chenghe was the murderer who killed Xu Yun and Tang Xin.

However, I later learned from Zheng Xiangyue that Zheng Chenghe spent the entire New Year's Eve with her, and even gave Zheng Xiangyue a New Year's gift at 00:00 on New Year's Eve.

He doesn't know how to clone himself, nor does he have the ability to teleport...

Therefore, physically speaking, it is impossible for Zheng Chenghe to be in the hospital and on the road where he hit and killed Xu Yun at the same time.

Therefore, the murderer who hit and killed Xu Yun was definitely not him.

So before this, Lin Xian had already ruled out the suspicion that Zheng Chenghe was the murderer.

but……

Coincidentally.

At this crucial "decisive battle" moment tonight, Zheng Chenghe happened to switch to the night shift driving.

It was hard for Lin Xian not to doubt his true identity and motives.

Is it intentional?

Still a coincidence?

Lin Xian wasn't sure either.

But then again, no matter whether Zheng Chenghe is the murderer or not, Lin Xian will not alert the enemy at this time.

This time, he chose to [enter the game himself] and [intentionally take the bait] with the purpose of catching the three big fishes: Ji Xinshui, Ji Lin and Zhou Duanyun.

What’s the point of arresting Zheng Chenghe now?

Ji Lin is such a smart person, he must have dealt with all the follow-up issues cleanly long ago.

Even if Zheng Chenghe was caught immediately and the so-called "evidence" was found on him, I am afraid that Ji Lin, Ji Xinshui and Zhou Duanyun would be able to get away with it completely.

Zheng Chenghe was sure to take all the blame alone, and the clue he had been following for a long time was cut off.

What's more, Zheng Chenghe's sister is lying in the hospital. No matter whether he is the murderer or not, he can't escape. It's not too late to settle the account later.

It must not interfere with my plans tonight...

"Take care of yourself."

Lin Xian didn't say anything else.

He picked up his coat, walked past Zheng Chenghe, and patted his shoulder.

Left the ward.

If possible...

He still didn't want to meet Zheng Chenghe at the crime scene at night.

He did not hate the brother and sister, but rather felt very sorry for them.

When Zheng Xiangyue talked about her brother, stars appeared in her eyes and she regarded him as a true hero.

If she knew that her brother was a murderer...

This may be a heavier blow to her than congenital heart disease.

"I hope it's not you, Jung Sung-ha."

Lin Xian walked out of the inpatient building, opened the door of the Ferrari LaFerrari, got in, and drove away from Tunghai University Affiliated Hospital.

This is a fight to the death.

Both himself and Ji Lin must personally step down and come to the front stage after tonight's drama.

If I didn't take the bait, how could Ji Lin choose me as the next target to be killed at 00:42?

Lin Xian thought that he was still difficult to kill now.

Not only did he roughly understand the opponent's behavioral logic and the details of the murder, but he also directly locked on to several core members. At present, his advantage is obviously greater than that of the opponent.

"Now, we can't hide anymore."

Lin Xian turned on the turn signal, and the flaming red Ferrari LaFerrari merged into the viaduct:
"Let's have a head-on fight."

……

At midnight.

At the Donghai Public Security Bureau, the Xu Yun task force office was empty, as all members were out on duty.

"Group A is in place, and the hidden blocking net has been deployed."

"Team B has entered the banquet hall, and the subject is within surveillance range."

Lin Xian stayed alone, and the team members' reports came over the intercom. He had no law enforcement power, so he had no mission today, just staying here to be prepared.

This was exactly what he wanted.

The hands on the clock are ticking...

at last.

The hour, minute and second hands meet at 12 o'clock.

[August 4, 13:00]

"It's time to go."

Lin Xian walked out of the office and got into the Ferrari LaFerrari in the Public Security Bureau parking lot.

boom------

The roaring Ferrari shuttled through the night.

Lin Xian gripped the steering wheel tightly, aiming directly at the hall where Academician Lyon was.

He had already studied the terrain there.

Whether you exit from the main gate or the side door, the only way for vehicles is at a T-junction.

and so……

He just had to park the car there and wait for the murderers to act out their own actions.

Lin Xian didn't care about the life or death of Academician Lyon.

He was not a good person to begin with, and he was in cahoots with Ji Lin and the others. There was no need to save him at all.

On the contrary, the death of Academician Lyon may bring some value to the advancement of the case.

of course.

The greatest value lies in the driver who killed Academician Lyon.

In the first two cases of Xu Yun and Tang Xin, the drivers were able to escape unscathed and disappeared every time.

Lin Xian didn't know what tricks these drivers used to be able to appear and disappear so elusively.

Therefore, this time he was no longer confident in handing over the task of chasing the vehicle that caused the accident to others.

"I've never lost in drag racing."

Lin Xian closed his eyes and felt the vibration of the engine idling.

This time he personally chased the vehicle that caused the accident... He couldn't let the murderer get away, could he?

Then the car in this dream that has been used for more than ten years is really wasted.

He raised his wrist and looked at the time.

【00:40】

Three or five laughing men came out from the side door of the club. Lin Xian saw them clearly in the rearview mirror.

After exchanging a few words, they waved to each other and left. Three of them walked back to the club, obviously to see the guests off; and the remaining two also parted ways at the door, one went to the parking lot, and the other... looked at his watch, lit a cigarette, and slowly walked towards the zebra crossing on the road.

This body type...

Lin Xian squinted and looked at the rearview mirror.

Although it's not very clear, the fat, bald man with big ears is definitely Academician Lyon.

He raised his watch again.

【00:41】

Academician Lyon walked very slowly, as if he was deliberately slowing down his pace, swallowing and exhaling smoke while moving his body, and finally stepped on the zebra crossing. He lowered his head and took a few steps carefully.

Then he stretched his arms as if he had completed a task, holding the cigarette between his fingers and stretching lazily——

boom! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Coming suddenly!

A taxi without headlights suddenly appeared from the other side of the night, and directly knocked the fat-bellied Academician Lyon off the zebra crossing!

The taxi was very fast! It was ridiculously fast!

Without any pause or slowdown, the taxi rushed straight towards the intersection!

thump.

Academician Lyon's torn body fell heavily to the ground, blood gushing out.

At the same time, the taxi without its lights on passed by the Ferrari LaFerrari.

Lin Xian, who was well prepared, stared at the taxi driver passing by through the open car window.

Long-term practice in dreams... has made his dynamic vision very strong.

Even if the two cars crossed for only a moment.

But Lin Xian had already seen the driver's appearance clearly——

Masks, sunglasses, and hats!
He was dressed exactly the same as the taxi driver who murdered Xu Yun!

Whoosh! !

The taxi emitted foul exhaust fumes and dust as it sped off into the darkness.

boom------

Ferrari LaFerrari starts with a burnout! Launch start!
Automatic headlights come on!

Follow the taxi that is speeding away in front of you!

Lin Xian stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the aggressive Ferrari slid in a strange curve and quickly approached the taxi!
Taxi VS Ferrari...

Are you sure you can run away?
Whoosh!Whoosh!
Blue taxis and red Ferraris speed along the suburban roads of Donghai...

The two cars completely disobeyed any traffic rules and ignored traffic lights, swerving back and forth on the road in the early morning.

The Ferrari behind was very close to the taxi, almost sticking to the rear of the car, but it never overtook it, as if it was waiting for some opportunity...

Lin Xian skillfully controlled the vehicle and followed the taxi in front closely.

Given the huge performance gap between the two cars, it was not difficult at all to catch up with the taxi.

So it goes without saying…

The last time Zhou Duanyun said he “lost himself halfway” was purely self-directed and self-acted.

It was so late and there were basically no cars on the road. How was it possible that I couldn't even catch up with a taxi?

Lin Xian never believed that these vehicles that caused the accident would disappear out of thin air. They must have played tricks and hidden themselves somewhere and at some stage.

That's why he wasn't in a hurry to catch the taxi.

Anyway, they won’t be lost... He wants to see how Ji Lin and the others can make these vehicles disappear out of thin air!

……

In the cherry blossom country, Kagawa Prefecture, inside a Japanese-style building.

Ji Lin hung up the phone in his hand and said nothing.

Zhou Duanyun didn't say anything either. He looked at Ji Lin with interest, as if he was waiting to see a joke.

finally.

Ji Lin let out a long breath, stood up from the cushion he was sitting cross-legged on, and looked at the ukiyo-e hanging on the wall:

"A red Ferrari, chasing Gluttony."

Zhou Duanyun laughed out loud:

"Rafa, right? That's Lin Xian's car, his female boss's car. Now we can draw a conclusion, right? If he didn't foresee the accident, why would he be waiting there alone in advance?"

"That's the problem."

Ji Lin said softly:

"Why would he come here alone? This is clearly not a rational behavior."

"Why do you care so much?"

Zhou Duanyun paced in the room, making the tatami mats creak under his feet:
"Since it has been proven that he has the ability to predict the future and disrupt history, let's just kill him! Detonate the bomb in the taxi and kill Gluttony and Lin Xian together!"

"No."

Ji Lin shook his head:
"Lin Xian must have died at 00:42, and it must have been a car accident. This is what Pride has emphasized several times."

"Are you guys fools? Or do you think Lin Xian is a fool?"

Zhou Duanyun frowned:
"He is so familiar with our killing routine that he even set up an ambush in advance! Do you think he will still give you the chance to kill him at 00:42?"

Ji Lin chuckled and looked at Zhou Duanyun:
"How dare you go against your arrogant words?"

"Why don't you dare?"

"Then come here." Ji Lin handed the phone on the table to Zhou Duanyun:
"Dial this number and the bomb under Gluttony's car will explode. Lin Xian and Gluttony's car are so close now that they will definitely be killed together. Here you go."

He handed the phone to Zhou Duanyun again.

however……

Zhou Duanyun just frowned and gritted his teeth, but did not take the phone.

"Ji Lin..."

He said viciously:

"You are really a good dog of Ji Xinshui!"

"how about you?"

Ji Lin looked at Zhou Duanyun:
"What about you, Zhou Duanyun? What are you?"

He chuckled and glanced away:
"In my opinion, you don't even have the qualifications to be jealous of Lin Xian. Although Lin Xian is the person we want to kill, it doesn't stop me from admiring him. And what about you, Zhou Duanyun? You disguise yourself so pretentiously just to cover up the fact that you are a loser who cheats and deceives people."

Bang!
Zhou Duanyun kicked over the tea table:
"That's not who I am now!"

"You now?" Ji Lin laughed disdainfully:
"You are still alive now, but it is just the pity of arrogance. Without arrogance... you are nothing."

"You can stand here and vent your anger for the twisted mentality of your youth, repaying kindness with hatred, all because I was arrogant and pitiful towards you back then."

……

The air became silent for a moment.

The spilled tea seeped under the tatami, leaving dark stains.

Only Zhou Duanyun's breathing sounded extremely harsh in this silent environment, like a broken blower.

"Don't look down on people, Ji Lin."

Zhou Duanyun's eyes were sharp, and he pointed his index finger at Ji Lin:

"【I am no worse than you. I have never been worse than you!"

"You are just lucky. You were born into a normal, well-fed, and complete family! You are lucky to be able to live such a happy and smooth life! You were born into a family that is capable of making you happy! This is not the result of your hard work!"

"You have never had to worry about food and clothing since you were young. Your parents support you in everything you do and are willing to spend money on you. You can write novels because someone bought you books to read since you were young! Lin Xian is popular because of his family, his clothes, and his parents' ability to give him the confidence to make friends! To treat his friends to snacks! He has money to buy birthday gifts for his classmates!"

"You think you got all this by yourself? Bullshit! You are just luckier than me! You just have a better background than me!"

Ji Lin snorted lightly, disdainful:
"At least you still have your mother, but both my parents are dead."

"Who adopted you, Ji Lin?"

Zhou Duanyun laughed:
"You are so arrogant! It was Ji Xinshui who was so rich that he could rival a country who adopted you! If my mom had adopted you since you were a child, you would have eaten peanuts, peanuts, and peanuts every day, worn clothes with holes and worn-out sneakers, and you wouldn't even dare to go to physical education classes. All your classmates would laugh at you... You would have written a shitty novel!"

"So, you have no right to look down on me, Ji Lin."

Zhou Duanyun violently opened the sliding door, turned around and squinted his eyes at Ji Lin:

"Even if I put you in my life, you may not be as successful as I am."
