New and dark light years

Chapter 247 Unwilling to Let Go

Tang Nan looked at Li Lin and said with a fawning smile, "Young master, you are of noble birth, how could you be like ordinary people? Of course not."

Cold sweat streamed down his forehead, for he could already sense Li Lin's murderous intent.

Even if they don't think that way, they don't dare to say it out loud.

Li Lin stood up: "As I just said, your life or death will depend on whether your answer satisfies me."

Tang Nan asked cautiously, "Is the young master satisfied?"

Li Lin stood up and shook his head: "Not satisfied."

"Why..." Tang Nan couldn't help but say angrily, "My Lingtai Bureau is doing its work for the peace of the world and the safety of all living beings. If losing one or two people can save the world, what wrong could I have done?"

Li Lin stepped forward and appeared in front of the other party: "What you said makes sense, but similarly, the absence of one person from the Lingtai Bureau will not affect the others' ability to continue saving lives. Whether you live or die is equally unimportant."

"No, I am different from them."

"Nothing is different."

Tang Nan saw the murderous intent emanating from Li Lin. He wanted to escape, but it was too late, and he could not escape.

Just as he tried to move, he felt weak all over. When he looked down, he found that a black dagger had pierced his heart.

Li Lin withdrew the 'Fiendish Bone Cough'. This thing truly lived up to its reputation as a magical artifact; after piercing a person, it wouldn't leave a trace of blood.

Tang Nan covered his chest with his left hand and reached out to Li Lin with his right.

But Li Lin only took two steps back, then flipped over and jumped out of the window.

Not long after, someone knocked on the door, but Tang Nan did not respond.

Then someone broke down the door and found Tang Nan lying in a pool of blood.

What followed was chaos.

An hour later, a middle-aged man, dressed in official robes, walked in with his hands behind his back.

Behind him followed a group of soldiers.

And...the people in the Tang family.

The official found a chair and sat down. Several soldiers emerged and began to examine Tang Nan's body.

Before long, one of them clasped his hands and said, "Reporting to the Commander, judging from the wound marks, Captain Tang was stabbed to death by a short sword. It was a fatal blow, and the attack was very swift. Captain Tang showed no signs of resistance."

"Is it because they didn't have time to resist, or because they didn't dare to resist?"

"I feel that there is no way to resist."

The official nodded slightly and said, "Captain Tang was an official after all, and he died at home under mysterious circumstances! This matter must be investigated, and thoroughly investigated. Send all the patrolmen from the branch office here; don't let any clue slip by. If the culprit cannot be caught within half a month, you will all be punished."

A group of people knelt down: "Yes!"

After the official left with his soldiers, Yueyue and the others gathered together.

These were all Tang Nan's subordinates.

Weiwei looked at Tang Nan on the ground with tears in her eyes.

They cannot collect the body yet, as it needs to be examined by the coroner first.

At this moment, Yueyue, dressed in gorgeous clothes, asked, "Who do you think is most likely to make a move against Commandant Tang?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"So what has Captain Tang been doing lately, and who has he been involved with?"

"We are preparing to carry out a treacherous plan against two people, one named Wang Dong and the other named Li Shuangmu."

Yueyue frowned: "I know Li Shuangmu, he's a rich young master. Who is that Wang Dong?"

“Another dark-skinned young man from the martial arts world,” Vivi said, somewhat puzzled. “Haven’t you seen him before?”

Yueyue said, "Oh, I remember now. That silly boy who suddenly appeared while I was talking to Li Shuangmu, he's really stupid. Who was put in charge of him?"

"Lele!"

Yueyue then asked, "Besides those two, does Captain Tang have any other plans?"

"No."

"Have you had any arguments or disputes with others recently?"

"nor."

Yueyue thought for a moment and said, "Can we find someone to kill those two and use them as sacrifices for Captain Tang?"

At this moment, a man stepped forward and said, "That young master is easy to deal with; he's weak and helpless. But Wang Dong is not simple."

"Then go kill the young master first. Remember to do it at night, don't alert anyone, and remember to dispose of the body properly."

The men nodded and then left.

It was nearly midnight.

Li Lin returned to his 'home' to rest.

I had only slept for about two hours when I suddenly opened my eyes.

Because the paper figures hidden in the courtyard have been frantically calling the police.

Li Lin got up and bent down to take out the red-tasseled spear from under the bed.

He then walked quietly into the hall. He then looked towards the doorway.

A copper wire reached in and easily and silently opened the latch.

Then the door was gently pushed open.

A masked man in black squeezed through the crack in the door.

As soon as he arrived, he saw a silver light appear in the darkness.

Then he was shot in the throat.

The man in black stared wide-eyed, gripping the gun handle with all his might.

But his vitality was rapidly fading, and his strength was also rapidly diminishing.

There was another man in black behind him. He saw his companion standing motionless at the door and was about to ask in a low voice what was going on when he smelled a very strong stench of blood.

He immediately realized what was happening and tried to run away.

But his companion's body slammed into him so fast that before he could react, his throat was pierced by the bloody tip of a gun.

The two men stood close together, took a few steps back, and as the spear was pulled out, they both fell to the ground.

The sound also caught the attention of the two children sleeping in the room.

"Master, what happened?"

Xiaoping, carrying an oil lamp, prepared to come out.

"Don't come out," Li Lin whispered.

But it's too late.

The place is too small; Xiaoping can see everything as soon as she opens the window.

She saw the master holding a blood-stained spear, and in the courtyard, there were two men in black lying on the ground.

"ah!"

Xiaoping let out a soft cry and immediately blew out the oil lamp.

Then she patted Xiao Zhen: "Little brother, get up."

Xiao Zhen also got up. He went to the window and saw two men in black, but he didn't say anything.

Before Xiaoping was sold to the brokerage firm, the two were already homeless.

The darkness they had witnessed was actually far greater than Li Lin had imagined.

"Sir, we're here to help you."

After saying that, Xiaoping led Xiaozhen to the doorway.

At this moment, Li Lin had already removed the masks from the two men in black and could see their faces clearly.

It's someone he 'knew', the one who had been monitoring him before.

After Li Lin got up, the two began to work together to drag the body.

Don't let their small size fool you; they're surprisingly strong, especially after they've eaten their fill.

The two dragged the two corpses to the back of the yard, where the wall was higher and there was a patch of soft soil, making it easier to do things without being easily discovered.

The two siblings worked together and, after an hour, dug a pit in the ground and pushed their bodies inside.

It's fortunate that Li Lin bought a detached house, which is a bit far from the other houses; otherwise, digging in the ground in the middle of the night would definitely have been noticed.

The two of them tamped down the ground and sprinkled some fallen leaves on it.

Then he went to the well to fetch water and washed all the bloodstains in the yard clean.

Li Lin didn't need to lift a finger at all during the entire process.

As dawn was approaching, the three returned to the hall.

Li Lin sat down and asked the two men, "Do you often do this kind of work?"

“It wasn’t something we did all the time,” Xiao Zhen said in a low voice. “When we were beggars, there were always other beggars who wanted to take advantage of you. Once we killed one, and this is how we buried him.”

"You're indeed experienced," Li Lin laughed. "I didn't expect you to have such skills."

The two little ones looked at Li Lin, but they were actually more surprised than anyone else.

In their minds, Li Lin was just a weak scholar, but they never expected that the two men in black who came to their door would be killed by the master.

"You guys go to sleep first," Li Lin said with a smile.

"how about you?"

Li Lin shook his head: "There are some things to do."

Although the way the two siblings handled things seemed to be good.

But for officials, even if you bury a body in your backyard, they can find it in no time if they want to.

Next, he needed to go to the Tang residence again before it was fully light.

He felt that killing the main culprit would have been enough.

But now it seems that it wasn't that he wanted to kill more, but that someone was unwilling to let him go.
