Lin Li smiled at the young man's question and answered casually.
"Being chased by soldiers wearing armor in broad daylight, any normal person would think of you as a fugitive or something like that."
"Uh..." the young man listened. Lin Li was speechless after hearing this answer, because if it were him, he would have thought the same thing when he saw another person being chased by soldiers in armor.
“Whose eldest son is this man?”
“To be able to dispatch so many soldiers, the elders in the family must be high officials.”
The passers-by watching the excitement pointed at the young man surrounded by soldiers and talked animatedly.
"Master, come back with us quickly! If you delay for too long, I will punish you severely." A soldier reminded the young man.
"..." No one likes to be pointed at by passers-by, and the young man is no exception. After listening to the soldier's persuasion, he nodded immediately.
When he was about to leave, the young man asked Lin Li, "What's your name?"
Although Lin Li was not afraid of the other party, he hated dealing with trouble, so when the young man asked, He simply ignored it and turned around to leave.
"Hey, don't leave!" The young man felt a little angry when he saw Lin Li ignoring him and leaving directly, and he was about to catch up and stop him.
The surrounding soldiers finally caught the young man, so naturally it was impossible to let him go.
"Get out of my way quickly." The young man shouted hurriedly when he saw Lin Li walking away.
"Master, the Lord of the City is very angry right now! If you cause some trouble again, I'm afraid my wife's intercession will be useless." An older soldier reminded.
"..." Li Mo's mind was filled with the angry look of Li Dingtian, and his body suddenly trembled. Then he watched helplessly as Lin Li, who had made him suffer, walked away.
"Master, let's go!" The soldiers surrounding Li Mo spoke again.
"Alas...I just ran out a few hours ago." Li Mo sighed listlessly.
This time he sneaked out and was caught. He could imagine that he would be grounded for a long time.
Then, soldiers in armor took Li Mo away from the scene and came to a luxurious carriage.
"Young Master." A servant from the City Lord's Mansion saw Li Mo and quickly jumped off the carriage.
"Why are you here?" Li Mo looked at the servant in front of him and asked in surprise, because this servant was someone close to his sister.
"Master, the lady asked me to come." The servant replied.
"What did Li Qian ask you to do?" Li Mo asked doubtfully, and at the same time, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Miss asked me to tell you that the Lord of the City is very angry with you for escaping out this time. He said that after catching you back this time, he will throw you into prison and lock you up." The servant said He took a step forward, approached Li Mo, and whispered,
"What?!!!" Li Mo's face changed drastically when he heard this, full of disbelief.
Although he has never been to prison, he knows that the environment in prison is very bad.
I am used to being pampered, but if I am thrown into prison, I will suffer a lot of punishment.
"Is it true? How can my father be so cruel?"
"It's absolutely true, it was said by the city lord himself... The lady asked me to tell you, after returning home , You must sincerely repent in front of the Lord of the City, there may be room for turning around."
"Huh..." Li Mo was startled, he took a deep breath, and then slowly. After exhaling, he adjusted his mood and said to the servant.
"Even if I sincerely regret this time, I definitely can't make my father change his mind... You go home first before me, tell Li Qian, and ask her to ask my mother to come and intercede for me."
"Yes." The servant nodded and responded, then quickly ran to a carriage parked on the roadside in the distance.
The conversation between Li Mo and the servant just now was heard by the surrounding soldiers, but now they did not urge Li Mo to get on the carriage.
After a while, Li Mo saw his sister's servant leaving in a carriage. At this time, he boarded the luxurious carriage and returned to the city lord's palace.
…………
The sun is setting in the west, and the sun is about to set in the sky, and most of the sky is rendered with a beautiful color by the sunset.
In the courtyard of the luxury villa, a figure with an ordinary appearance but an extremely graceful figure was collecting clothes to be dried.
"Chirping..."
On a large leafy tree not far away, some lively birds stood on the branches, making clear and sweet bird calls.
The sound of opening the door came from the gate. The bird standing on the branch closed its mouth and turned its head to look in the direction of the gate.
Qin Muqing had just put away the clothes on the clothes drying pole when she heard the movement at the door and was suddenly startled.
“Click.”
Lin Li pushed the door open and immediately noticed a gaze looking at him in the distance, so he turned his head to look.
"Mr. Lin, you are back!" When Qin Muqing saw that the person pushing the door was Lin Li, she immediately relaxed her nervousness, then walked over and said hello with a smile.
Lin Li didn't come back yesterday. Qin Muqing thought Lin Li would be away for a while again.
Unexpectedly, she came back the next day, which made her very happy.
After all, not long ago, a group of gangsters broke into the house. Even if no one was in trouble, the gangsters had been caught, but they still felt a little scared.
At this time, if Lin Li could spend more time at home, it would be very effective in soothing his emotions.
"I bought some things while shopping just now. Take them to try." Lin Li had an idea in his mind and took out the things he bought while shopping from the mysterious island and handed them to Qin Muqing.
"Thank you." Qin Muqing took the paper bag and thanked her, then asked Lin Li what he wanted to eat for dinner.
"I can do it. Just watch and do it." Lin Li said with a smile, and then walked into the villa.
There was still some time before dinner. He had been walking outside all day today and his legs were a little sore. He wanted to go back to the bedroom and lie down for a while.
Qin Muqing saw Lin Li walking into the villa. At this time, she opened the paper bag that Lin Li had just handed over.
Some exquisite pastries came into view. Qin Muqing picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite. She nodded slightly and muttered to herself.
“Although it’s not as good as the pastries made by Master Wu at home, it’s still quite delicious.”
After eating a piece of pastry, Qin Muqing returned to the villa with the packed clothes. After a while, a busy figure appeared in the kitchen.
…………
Blue Star, Superpower Management Bureau.
Liu Jialin finished the work at hand, raised her hands and stretched. Her broad mind immediately made the white shirt on her body become tight, and the buttons were under tremendous pressure.
Clenched five fingers together into a fist and tapped on the shoulder.
I soothed my body and felt relaxed all over.
At this time, Liu Jialin looked at the time displayed on the computer screen, and then picked up the mobile phone placed on the desk.
Open the call history and click on the familiar number displayed on the screen with your slender fingers. "Sorry, the number you dialed has been turned off. Please call again later..."
A familiar tone came from the mobile phone. This was the third time Liu Jialin called Lin Li today. Three calls.
"Strange, why is Lin Li's phone always turned off? What is he busy with?" Liu Jialin was a little confused. Then she hung up the phone, opened the social software, found Lin Li's chat box, and sent a message to the other party.
"Lin Li, if you see the message, give me a call if it's convenient."
After sending the message, Liu Jialin put the phone back on the table, then picked up the water glass to drink.
The cup was empty, Liu Jialin stood up and walked to the water dispenser to fill it with water.
The door of the office was pushed open, and Zhang Xiao, who went to submit materials, walked into the office. She saw Liu Jialin pouring water and said with a smile.
"Captain, are you hungry?"
Liu Jialin took a sip of water and nodded, "I'm a little hungry."
"We won't go to the cafeteria today, let's find a restaurant outside. Let’s eat!” Zhang Xiao suggested.
Liu Jialin smiled and said, "Okay! What do you want to eat tonight?"
Zhang Xiao thought about it carefully, "There is a barbecue buffet across the street. Tonight Let’s go to that restaurant for dinner!”
"Okay." Liu Jialin said, and then the two of them cleared the desktop and left the office.
…………
The sun disappeared from the sky, and the dark night enveloped the world. The crooked bright moon became the protagonist of the world at this moment.
The street lights on both sides of the street emit dim light, providing lighting for passing pedestrians and vehicles.
Business in the cafeteria is very good, and many people queue up to get their numbers.
The arrival of Liu Jialin and Zhang Xiao immediately attracted the attention of many people, and the volume of everyone's chats involuntarily lowered a few decibels.
“There are so many people!” Zhang Xiao sighed as he looked at the store filled with customers.
"How about we change a restaurant!" Liu Jialin thought about finishing the meal early and going back to handle other work early.
"Let me ask how many people are still waiting in line in front of me? If there are a lot of people, we will change to another restaurant." Zhang Xiao said.
Liu Jialin nodded. Not long after, Zhang Xiao came back happily and said with a smile, "There are six people in front of us. The waiter said it will be our turn in ten minutes."
"It's okay if it takes more than ten minutes, then let's wait!" Liu Jialin said.
"Captain, there are chairs over there. Let's sit and wait." Zhang Xiao said.
The waiter in the restaurant estimated the time quite accurately. Liu Jialin and Zhang Xiao waited for more than ten minutes before it was their turn.
However, the development of things is always unexpected.
Just as the two people followed the waiter into the restaurant and sat down at the empty table, Liu Jialin's cell phone suddenly rang in her pocket. The caller told her important news.
"Captain, what's wrong?" Zhang Xiao asked quickly when he saw Liu Jialin's expression became serious after answering the phone.
"The murderer of that case this morning has been found. We have to go there and arrest him now." Liu Jialin said as she got up and walked out of the restaurant. At the same time, she said sorry to the waiter.
Zhang Xiao quickly followed after seeing this. After the two left the restaurant, they immediately crossed the road and returned to the Superpower Management Bureau.
"Boom..."
The roar of the engine sounded, and a car with the logo of the Superpower Administration quickly left the parking lot.
"I didn't expect the murderer to be hiding in a place like that." Zhang Xiao drove the car towards the destination. When Liu Jialin said where the murderer was hiding, a surprised expression appeared on his face.
"He is hiding in that place. He probably wants to wait until dawn tomorrow morning, run to the dock, secretly climb on the transport ship and leave Rongcheng." Liu Jialin speculated.
Half an hour later, Liu Jialin and Zhang Xiao arrived at the place where the murderer was hiding.
In front of you is a large pig farm, located at the foot of the mountain, with a river in the distance.
Every morning, transport ships dock at the docks by the river to transport raw pork slaughtered by pig farms to other cities.
It is now confirmed that the murderer is hiding in the pig farm, and the security guards who arrived at the scene in advance have set up a cordon.
Since the murderer is a practitioner, the security officers cannot directly rush into the pig farm to search for the murderer.
When Liu Jialin and Zhang Xiao arrived, they immediately met with the security officers responsible for maintaining order at the scene.
After a few simple greetings, Liu Jialin and Zhang Xiao immediately crossed the cordon and entered the pig farm to search for the murderer.
Zhang Xiao felt that the search efficiency of two people working together was a bit low, so he suggested it after searching an area.
"Captain, let's act separately! This way, the efficiency of searching for the murderer will be higher."
Hearing this, Liu Jialin frowned slightly and said, "With your current cultivation level, it is very likely that you will be attacked by the murderer. Something will happen."
Zhang Xiao mobilized the spiritual energy in her dantian, and the first-level spiritual energy fluctuations were released instantly, and then she said confidently.
“My cultivation has increased a lot recently, and I am a big step closer to breaking through to the first stage of the second stage.
The murderer only has the cultivation of the first high stage, even if he attacks me sneakily, I can handle it calmly, so don’t worry, captain!”
Seeing what Zhang Xiao said, Liu Jialin nodded slightly, "Okay! But you have to be careful. If you find the murderer, contact me immediately."
Zhang Xiao nodded, and then the two of them acted separately. The pig farm was quickly searched for the murderer.
With the help of the bright moonlight in the sky, the little pig in the pig pen looked curiously at the stranger walking in the distance, and hummed.
Zhang Xiao had already searched several places but could not find the murderer, so he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
“Although the hygiene of the pig farm is very good, there is still an unpleasant smell. The murderer can really endure it.”
"Hmph..." The little pig in the pig pen looked at the approaching stranger, and the humming sounds from his mouth became more and more urgent.
Zhang Xiao suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at the pig pen where the grunting was the loudest. He narrowed his eyes slightly, took a few steps back, and shouted.
"Stop hiding, I've found you, come out quickly."
The piglet was still barking hastily, Zhang Xiao stared at the pigpen intently.
Everything was as usual, it seemed like nothing happened, but the next second, a strong figure stood up from the pig pen.
Zhang Xiao raised his left hand, touched the headphones on his ears, and then said to the figure standing up in the pig pen.
"Yang Tiezhong, you are suspected of murder, please come back with me for investigation..."
