Chapter 347 Shooting Yourself In The Foot
Boom! Boom!
A sudden knock on the door interrupted the conversation between the two old men in the room.
They noticed something unusual, and instinctively assumed a fighting stance immediately, staring at the door with a defensive expression.
what happened?
Why is there a sudden knock on the door?
There is a sign outside the house reminding us, and we have already told the inn that we are practicing in seclusion and cannot be disturbed under any circumstances.
Logically speaking, no one should be knocking on the door.
What happened?
Could it be that someone from the government investigated it?
Not quite.
If he was really targeted by the government, he wouldn't be able to alert him so easily, right?
The two old men stared at the door, their minds filled with thoughts and speculations about various possible scenarios.
Boom! Boom!
The person who received no response outside knocked on the door twice more and shouted outside the door: "Excuse me, two guests. I have something important to see you."
The first old man was relieved when he saw that he was from the inn, as long as he was not from the government.
But, what important things could come to him at the inn?
I had specifically told them before that they could not disturb me even if the sky fell.
Just as he was curious about going over to open the door and ask, he was stopped by a look from his companion.
Boom! Boom!
"Are the guests here?"
"I have something important to see you."
"If you don't come out, we will go in."
…
There was no response from the outside and the knocking on the door continued.
When they knocked on the door for the fourth time, their old companion pretended to be angry and opened the door to check.
"what happened?"
"Didn't I tell you not to disturb us even if the sky falls?"
"We are at a critical moment in our cultivation. If anything happens, you are responsible."
The old man who was my companion was furious. After opening the door, he started to deal with the damage without saying a word. He looked very confident.
The innkeeper was standing outside the house at this time.
Seeing the angry guest, he quickly smiled and said, "This guest is really sorry."
"We don't want to disturb you, but..."
"City Lord Chen wants to find you by name. We must cooperate with the government."
Said.
The shopkeeper looked at the city lord Chen Han next to him.
That's right.
In order to check the person in the direction of the invitation, Teacher Qi also invited the city lord Chen Han.
Although he was reluctant to investigate in this direction, now that he had accepted it, Teacher Qi was still very responsible.
Call the city lord Chen Han, so that anyone suspicious can be traced legitimately, and they must cooperate obediently.
If you don't cooperate, then there is something wrong in your mind, and your suspicion will be even greater.
really.
When the old man in the room heard that it was the City Lord who was looking for him, most of his anger dissipated and his attitude became much more polite. He cupped his fists at Chen Han and said, "I don't know what the City Lord wants to do with us two old men?"
Chen Han looked at the two old men opposite, with no good expression on his face, and said in a stiff tone: "There are some things that I need to invite you to the City Lord's Mansion to cooperate in the investigation."
Realizing Chen Han's unkind attitude, the two old men felt a little bit in their hearts. Could it be that they were exposed?
They felt anxious and forced a smile to ask: "Excuse me, Lord City Lord, what is going on?"
"We are still in a hurry to practice. Can you see if we can..."
Before they could finish speaking, they were rudely interrupted by Chen Han.
"Practice is nothing!"
"You can't understand people, can you?"
"Go if you are told to go."
"Where is all this nonsense!"
Chen Han pretended to have an attack, but in fact, most of his doubts about the two old men had been dispelled.
And the aggressive posture just now was naturally staged.
Before the investigation, Qi He had considered that if he really encountered a killer, they would easily be fooled by a simple investigation.
so.
Qi He told Chen Han when he set out that when checking these people, he must act like he is coming to arrest people with full evidence, don't give them a good look, and then observe their reactions.
If there is no problem, then seal their power and escort them back to the city lord's palace for further testing.
If there is no problem after further testing, it should be confirmed that they are really fine, and then they should be released.
Chen Han looked at the two old men who had no flaws and their reactions were very natural. Most of the doubts in Chen Han's heart were gone.
How could the killers be two old men with half of their necks buried in the ground?
Not to mention that they also submitted a greeting card and stayed in a nearby inn openly, and there was no problem with their true identity information.
Well, they should be fine, the killer is someone else.
The doubts in Chen Han's heart were gradually dispelled, but the two old men did not know that all this was a test for themselves.
Seeing Chen Han's aggressive and determined look, they felt very anxious in their hearts, fearing whether they had really been exposed.
However, they still kept their disguises on their faces, pretending to be ignorant and aggrieved, and said to Chen Han: "Lord City Lord, there must be some misunderstanding here."
"We didn't commit any crime. Isn't it a bit unreasonable for you to arrest us indiscriminately into the city lord's mansion?"
Older gingers are more spicy.
Chen Han didn't see any flaws in the appearance of the two of them, and subconsciously thought that the two of them were really innocent. Even Qi He next to him began to gradually give up his doubts about them.
However, dispelling doubts is all about dispelling doubts, and the previously agreed upon plan must continue.
So Chen Han ignored the protests of the two old men and continued to say viciously: "You yourself know what you have committed."
"Murder... human life! Do you think we really don't know your purpose of coming to Riverside City?"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and let's capture him without any hesitation."
When the two old men heard the words "murder of human life", especially when Chen Han paused for a moment before he could speak, their heads froze for a moment, and they subconsciously began to believe that the other party really knew that they were plotting against Lin's father and Lin's mother.
Then Chen Han turned to look at Qi He and said, "Master Qi, please take action to seal their power and bring them back to the city lord's palace for interrogation."
Qi He nodded, raised his legs and moved forward to approach the two old men, while not forgetting to show off his strength.
This is the second trial.
Under normal circumstances, if they have been wronged and have a clear conscience, they will definitely cooperate honestly.
After all, the city lord Chen Han is here, so it is justifiable to arrest the suspect and take him back. Not to mention the strength of Qi He to endorse Chen Han, no smart person will resist.
Unless they have something wrong with them.
The two old men looked at each other's confident and aggressive posture, and felt fear in their hearts. They were afraid that if they followed, they would never come back.
They didn't suspect that all this was staged by the other party.
But they dare not gamble.
If he is really taken to the city lord's palace by the sealed power, he will become a lamb to be slaughtered.
Who knows if they have some special means to dig out the secrets in themselves.
so.
Prompted by fear, the two subconsciously took a few steps back, trying to create a safe distance.
But in the eyes of Qi He and Chen Han, something was very wrong.
There is nothing wrong with you, what are you hiding from?
If I were really innocent, I wouldn't be able to wrongly accuse you.
Unless, you really have a problem.
This is the thought.
The suspicion in the hearts of Qi He and Chen Han rose instantly, and they wanted to forcefully take them back to investigate.
At this time, the two old men finally couldn't pretend anymore when they saw this.
They dare not gamble.
So I didn’t dare to follow him to the city lord’s mansion.
Forced to have no choice but to try to escape.
but.
With their little strength, no matter what they do in front of Qi He, they will struggle to the death.
As soon as they made a move, Qi He immediately took action and subdued them, and their hearts fell completely to the bottom.
‘There’s something really wrong. ’
Qi He and Chen Han both wanted to run away when they saw each other, and they felt certain in their hearts.
I really didn’t expect that I could actually find something by following the direction of the invitation.
have nothing to say.
After Qi He subdued the two men, he asked the innkeeper to keep it strictly confidential, and then returned to the city lord's palace with Chen Han to interrogate the two old men.
These two people are also a bit tough.
At first they refused to admit it, and it took Chen Han a long time to open their mouths.
They all know the consequences of admitting, especially if the target is Father Lin and Mother Lin, they cannot admit it even if they are beaten to death.
In the end, Qi He took action and used some tricks to get them to admit obediently.
Seeing that they really came to Riverside City to assassinate Lin Fei's parents, Qi He immediately reported to Principal Chang and Lin Fei.
"The killer was caught so quickly?"
When Principal Chang heard Qi He say that the killer had been caught, surprise appeared on his face.
He had told Lin Fei before not to have high hopes, as the killer would not be easy to find.
Unexpectedly, less than a day later, the killer was caught.
Qi He glanced at Lin Fei and said, "Thanks to Lin Fei."
"He mentioned the two most suspect people before."
"We went over there as soon as possible and tried these two people under the pretense that the evidence was solid."
"The two of them failed the test. They were indeed very suspicious. They were brought back to the city lord's palace for interrogation. It took them a while to admit it."
When Lin Fei heard this, he scratched his head and was quite surprised.
I had been suspicious before, but I didn't expect it to be them. What a coincidence.
However, this is a good thing, it can be regarded as solving one of my worries.
Chang Qindong also clapped his hands and said, "Well done."
"Let's go see them now and hear what they can tell us."
The purpose of Qi He's coming was to invite the principal and Lin Fei to meet the two killers together. After hearing this, he naturally led the way immediately.
Wait until we get to the interrogation place.
Lin Fei looked at the two old men with extremely pale faces and couldn't wait to ask: "When did you take over the mission? And when did you come to Riverside City?"
The two old men had been subdued by Qi He, and they replied obediently: "One...the task I took over a week ago."
"Then he rushed over non-stop, ready to find an opportunity to take action."
Lin Fei nodded and continued to ask: "Then why did you submit a greeting and use your true identity?"
"Don't you know that this is very risky?"
The old man who came up with the idea said regretfully: "The most dangerous place is the safest."
"We thought that it might be harder to suspect an honest contact target."
"who knows……"
To the end.
His voice was choked and he couldn't speak anymore.
If he could be given another chance to do it again, he would definitely not do these things again.
If it weren't for Na Laoshizi's invitation, Lin Fei and the others might not be able to find him now.
This is shooting yourself in the foot.
When Lin Fei heard this, he didn't know what to say.
In theory, their idea was indeed correct, and I was almost deceived by them.
However, if there is doubt, there is doubt.
Out of caution, even if he knew there was a high probability that it was not the case, he would check it out.
Wouldn't it come in handy this time?
Qi He and Chen Han next to them couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when they saw this.
At first, they objected to the investigation from the direction of the invitation.
They subconsciously thought that it was impossible for the killer to pay homage to the target. Unexpectedly, people thought the same way, and even made a reverse operation, almost deceiving them.
If Lin Fei hadn't been cautious, they might have classified these two people directly into the no-problem crowd and never discovered them.
It seems that in the future, we must learn from Lin Fei, not to let go of any doubts, and to be cautious in everything.
Qi He and Chen Han looked at each other, and then heard Lin Fei continue to ask: "Who issued this reward mission?"
"I don't know." The two old men shook their heads in unison.
Chen Han didn't believe it and pretended to be angry: "When you accept the mission, don't you know who issued the mission?"
"Are you kidding me?"
"Explain to me honestly."
The two old men still shook their heads and said sincerely: "We really don't know."
"We have always been in contact with them by means of communication. We have never met in person, and we have only had few contacts."
Lin Fei saw that they didn't look like they were telling lies, but if the person who issued the mission couldn't be found, it would be a bit troublesome.
If we want to completely solve this problem, we must find out the person behind it.
Lin Fei thought for a while and continued to ask: "You have never met the person who issued the mission, so how did he win your trust?"
"After completing the mission, how can you be sure that they will give you the bounty as promised?"
"This..." The two old men looked at each other and said honestly: "We actually have to believe it."
"What's the meaning?"
"Our lives have come to an end and we only have a few days left."
"The other party said they could help us advance to Level 40, so we were willing to risk our lives and take on this mission."
"Otherwise, even if you give us a hundred courages, we won't dare to murder your parents."
The two old men burst into tears, not knowing whether they were regretting taking on the mission or sad that their Lifespan was approaching.
After listening to this, Lin Fei finally understood.
No wonder two waning old men would become killers.
It turns out that there is such a layer of temptation.
For the elderly who are dying soon, more lifespan is indeed a fatal temptation, and they will do anything for it.
They are already Level 39 and can continue to live as long as they advance to Level 40.
That's why they take desperate risks.
but.
Lin Fei still didn't understand: "Why do you believe so much that the other party can help you advance to Level 40?"
For high-level professionals, there is almost no external force that can help them improve their level, otherwise the special Secret Realm would not be so precious.
