Chapter 52 The Drama Begins

"But there are indeed geniuses in this world, and appearance has nothing to do with occupation."

Ji Lin changed the subject and projected more than a dozen news screenshots on his mobile phone onto the big screen behind him for the members of the special task force to see:

"During this period, the development of scientific research has been changing with each passing day. Because of Xu Yun and Tang Xin, we predict that the next murder target of the murderer is likely to be scholars and experts related to the field of hibernation technology."

"This is what I have summarized during this period. Scientists who have made major breakthroughs or have great potential in the field of hibernation research, everyone, take a look."

Following Ji Lin's gesture, everyone in the task force raised their heads and looked at the dozen scientists in the field of hibernation listed on the projection screen.

Some of these scientists have made breakthroughs in the field of hibernation equipment, some have developed maintenance drugs during hibernation, some have proposed some innovative hibernation theories, and some have proposed new ideas in the rehabilitation stage after waking up from hibernation...

There is no doubt that these scientists listed on the screen are all leaders in the field of hibernation. According to the task force's speculation, these people are most likely to be the next murder targets.

Lin Xian noticed that most of these scientists were from abroad, and there were three from China, but they all lived and worked in cities outside Donghai.

The male colleague next to him also realized this, and looked at Ji Lin and asked:

"But Ji Lin... Most of these scientists are abroad, and their itineraries are not within our surveillance. If the murderer really wants to kill them, we can't ambush them in advance. And there are too many of them... We can't ambush them!"

Ji Lin nodded:

"That's right, our police force and authority are limited. Except for Donghai, we don't have that much power to mobilize local police forces to cooperate. Moreover, the vicious incident of 00:42 only occurred in Donghai City, and the Donghai City officials do not want this impact to expand."

"But... our opportunities are also limited. Maybe the next time we plot If we can't catch the murderer at the murder scene, we will miss them forever and never find any clues about them. "

"Therefore, I decided to act separately from everyone."

After a pause, Ji Lin looked around and said seriously:

"I personally have a certain amount of connections and influence in the foreign police community. I have helped foreign police solve many cases in the past. They are very willing to cooperate with me."

"So, in the future, I plan to act separately. I will use my influence in foreign police to organize ambushes and arrests abroad; and you will continue to stay in Donghai City and look for the right opportunity to ambush the murderer. This time, we must not let the murderers escape again." ? ? ?

Ji Lin's words made all the team members open their eyes wide, and then shouted:

"No, Ji Lin, what you mean is...you are leaving Donghai?"

"This, this is too sudden, right?"

"Why do you want to go abroad at this time? Have you found any clues?"

"Since Ji Lin has decided to do so, he must have his reasons. He must have locked on a certain scientist, right?"

The news of Ji Lin's departure surprised everyone for a while, but after careful consideration, they felt that Ji Lin was not the kind of person who would give up halfway or escape at the last minute. He must have a reason for doing so.

Sure enough...

Ji Lin nodded, stood up, and pointed to the photo of one of the scientists on the projection screen behind him.

That was a white-haired old man who worked in a laboratory in Sakura Country. He was an academic leader in the field of cryogenics earlier. Now he was entrusted by Sakura Country with an important task and became the leader of the country's hibernation project:

"This academic leader of Sakura Country has been out frequently recently. I think the murderer is likely to list him as a murder target, so I need to go to Sakura Country to see if I can use the power of foreign police to ambush and capture the murderer in advance."

...

So that's it.

Everyone nodded.

What Ji Lin said made sense.

At present, there are so many possible murder targets in the world. If the murderer commits crimes all over the world, what's the point of them staying in the East China Sea?

And overseas, except for Ji Lin who has connections and influence, it's useless for others to go there. No one can replace Ji Lin to perform overseas tasks.

As for the investigation team left in the East China Sea...

Ji Lin left, but he has left a detailed work plan. They just need to follow it step by step.

But.

Lin Xian's idea is different from everyone else's.

He can't figure out what Ji Lin is up to.

Although Ji Lin's explanation to everyone was perfect, it was to ambush the murderer abroad and take into account the possibility that the murderer could not have been committing crimes in the East China Sea all the time.

But in Lin Xian's imagination, Ji Lin is the murderer!

He was clearly the thief crying "Catch the thief" and playing a cat-and-mouse game with him in the name of catching the thief. Why is he suddenly dismissed now?

Suddenly.

Ji Lin looked over, smiled at Lin Xian, and looked around:

"Everyone, although Lin Xian was invited by me, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of Lin Xian's level through working with him during this period of time. During this period, many old cases were solved by Lin Xian and I together. His keen insight and analytical ability are obvious to everyone."

"In addition...the most important thing next is to screen out the murderer's most likely murder targets in advance and then ambush them in advance. At this point, I think Lin Xian, who has personally experienced the crime scene twice, should also be better than I am more aware and have trustworthy intuition. Therefore, during my time away from Donghai, I hope everyone will refer to Lin Xian's opinions more when determining the murderer's target. I believe he will not let you down. "

After listening to Ji Lin's words, the other team members nodded without any doubt.

In their opinion, Lin Xian was indeed a very trustworthy person. During this period, he performed very well and assisted his colleagues in solving many cases. He is also a very prestigious person in everyone's mind.

…

"Do you really want to leave?"

In the double dormitory where the two had lived together for more than ten days, Ji Lin was packing his personal belongings. Lin Xian leaned against the wall and looked at Ji Lin:

"There are also many scientists coming to the East China Sea during this period. Aren't you afraid of missing out?"

Ji Lin was surprised, stopped what he was doing and looked at Lin Xian:

"I thought you were happy that I was going on a business trip. Wouldn't it be nice for you to be free again?"

He smiled:

"Starting from tomorrow, no one will restrict your freedom. You can go home at any time, go out at any time, and go out to play at any time. What are you going to do on the first day of freedom? Do you want to take a vacation?"

"Tomorrow?"

Lin Xian picked up the phone and looked at the date:

「

I really have something to do tomorrow, I have to celebrate a little girl’s birthday. "

Ji Lin raised his head:

"How do you know so many little girls?"

"No, no, this time it's a real little girl." Lin Xian smiled and said:

"A fourteen-year-old girl is a patient. I want to go to the hospital to celebrate her birthday."

"You are so warm-hearted."

Ji Lin continued to pack his clothes:

"He is enthusiastic and kind."

He zipped it up, pulled the suitcase and walked out the door.

"When will you come back?" Lin Xian asked, looking at his back.

"It won't be long before I catch the murderer or eliminate the risk of that academic leader, and I will be back."

Ji Lin turned around and looked at Lin Xian:

"If you can catch the murderer in the East China Sea in advance, I will definitely come back to congratulate you. Anyway, it will not be past my birthday at the latest. I will definitely come back before my birthday on May 3rd. I am still waiting for your birthday. There’s a gift.”

Lin Xian was really amused.

Even now, I still care about his birthday.

"Birthday to you

Are words so important? "

"Of course." Ji Lin nodded affirmatively:

"Because...didn't you make an appointment with a friend?"

"Chu Anqing?"

"And you." Ji Lin replied.

…

…

The air was suddenly quiet.

The distance between Lin Xian and Ji Lin was only two or three meters, but their eyes looked at each other as if they were separated by an insurmountable galaxy.

"Goodbye, Lin Xian."

Ji Lin turned around and walked away with his suitcase.

Lin Xian stood there and did not go out.

He did not watch Ji Lin leave.

I just stood in the room, listening to the sound of the suitcase rolling away, then stopping, and then the elevator door opened with a ding.

Then...

No more sound.

"goodbye."

Lin Xian whispered.

He never thought about attending Ji Lin's birthday party, nor did he think about preparing a birthday gift for him.

At present, the suspicions of Ji Lin, Ji Xinshui, and Zhou Duanyun cannot be cleared.

eye for eye.

This cat-and-mouse game can only end with the death of one party. There is no draw, no tie, and no other outcome other than life or death.

Maybe Ji Lin really regarded himself and Chu Anqing as friends in his heart.

But Lin Xian didn't.

Not even a moment.

There was no way he could be friends with the murderer of Xu Yun and Tang Xin.

Blood debts can only be paid with blood.

…

"Xiangyue, happy birthday to you!"

April 1, Tunghai University Affiliated Hospital, 17th floor, in Zheng Xiangyue’s ward.

The burning candle on the file was blown out by Zheng Xiangyue. She chuckled, straightened the birthday princess hat on her head, and made a pious wish.

"This is a birthday present for you."

Lin Xian took out a huge tinfoil sack from behind, beautifully packaged, with a huge pink bow tied at the top. It seemed like there was a huge gift inside, even bigger than Zheng Xiangyue's body!

But the weight didn't seem that heavy, and Lin Xian could lift it easily.

"Wow! So big!"

Zheng Xiangyue rushed forward excitedly! So soft that the whole person fell into it:

"Brother Lin Xian! Can I open it now?"

"Of course." Lin Xian smiled and said, "This is your birthday gift, it naturally belongs to you."

Zheng Xiangyue excitedly tore open the bow and pulled off the colorful tinfoil, revealing the soft doll inside:

"What a big Rhine cat!! A style I have never seen before!"

Zheng Xiangyue's eyes widened and she couldn't imagine that there was such a big Rhine Cat doll in the world! She tried to pick her up several times...but she couldn't use her strength because her arm span was not enough. In the end, Zheng Chenghe carried her on the bed together with the oversized Rhine cat doll.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Lin."

Zheng Chenghe looked at Lin Xian and thanked him sincerely:

"Xiangyue has always liked Rhine Cat dolls very much, and I bought a lot of them for her...but I have never seen one as big as the one you brought here today, and they are not sold in any first supermarket toy store. of."

"Because it is not for sale, there are only two of them in the world." Lin Xian explained with a smile:

"When we first designed this doll, the factory directly made two samples and showed them to our company, but in the end, considering that the cost was too high... our boss didn't want to sell something too expensive, so we put this plan aside for the time being. cancelled."

"The Rhine cats on the market now are all small-sized. This large-sized experimental product has been out of print before it was released. I brought it to Xiangyue from the warehouse."

"Wow! There are only two of them in the whole world!"

Zheng Xiangyue rolled around in her arms with the oversized Rhine cat and was so happy:

"The other one

In whose hands is it? "

"The other one..."

Lin Xian recalled the oversized Rhine cat doll that Chu Anqing drew at the MX Company celebration banquet. He touched Zheng Xiangyue's head and said softly:

"The other one is in the hands of another little princess. You are both little princesses."

Zheng Xiangyue laughed out loud and refused to let go of the Rhine Cat. She couldn't put it down.

After the three of them finished eating the cake and packing away, Lin Xian was ready to leave.

"Mr. Lin, how did you come to the hospital?" Zheng Chenghe asked.

"Come by taxi."

"Then I'll take you back."

Zheng Chenghe smiled and pointed to the parking lot outside the window:

"My taxi is parked in the parking lot. I missed work today to celebrate Xiangyue's birthday. It's time to go to work. I'll take you back to the company first."

Lin Xian nodded.

Right.

Zheng Chenghe usually drives a day shift taxi, and it happens to be his working time now.

The two said goodbye to Zheng Xiangyue and came to the parking lot.

Zheng Chenghe opened the door and Lin Xian got in from the passenger seat.

"Mr. Lin, where are you going?"

"Go to the Donghai City Public Security Bureau." Lin Xian replied.

Ji Lin has left Donghai, and what follows is a busier work...especially since many things have just been taken over, and he is still in the adaptation stage.

Zheng Chenghe started the car, then took out a mask from the storage compartment and put it on, and then took out sunglasses and put them on.

Lin Xian straightened up when he saw this scene:

"Do you always cover yourself up so tightly when driving?"

"there's no way……"

Zheng Chenghe smiled bitterly and pointed to the right side of his face:

"You know, the right side of my face is covered with scars. I'm afraid of scaring customers..."

"..."

Lin Xian didn't speak, but nodded slightly:

"All right."
