Chapter 74: Welcome to the Grand Death

"How is it? What I have confessed now is enough to sentence me to death, right?"

Another four hours passed.

In the interrogation room.

Ji Xinshui smiled gently and looked calmly at the interrogator who was writing down the transcript.

All the cameras in the interrogation room were recording him, and all the recording equipment was turned on.

Of course Ji Xinshui knew all this.

But...

These were just part of his "faked death and rebirth" plan. He couldn't wait to join the genius club and meet Copernicus, whom he regarded as a god.

"Devil!"

The female police officer in charge of the interrogation gritted her teeth and clenched her fists to stare at Ji Xinshui:

"As long as the evidence you said is verified to be true, the death penalty will be executed several times!"

"Haha, that's the best."

Ji Xinshui closed his eyes and began to enjoy the moment of being crowned and entering the cathedral.

The male police officer in charge of the interrogation was also extremely angry.

These bastards who despised human life were so arrogant and arrogant when they were about to die!

"Ji Xinshui."

The male comrade suppressed his anger and continued to interrogate:

"According to your confession, all your criminal plans were carried out by the Seven Deadly Sins organization you established, which has a total of seven people."

"You, Zhou Duanyun, Zheng Chenghe, Academician Lyon, Sergeant Sam, Ji Lin, Angelica. So far, you have confessed the criminal facts and evidence of the first five people. What about the remaining Ji Lin and Angelica? You need to confess their criminal facts here."

Ji Xinshui heard it, closed his eyes, and shook his head:

"Both of them are my adopted children, and they have not participated in any criminal activities. This question is the same no matter how many times you ask it."

"My confession ends here. Since it is enough to sentence me to death, let's try and execute it as soon as possible."

Afterwards, Ji Xinshui stopped cooperating with the interrogation.

He seemed to have seen himself bathed in a thousand-foot light...

For the omnipotent genius club, it was easy to replace the drugs in the death penalty syringe, issue a death certificate, and transport his "corpse" out.

Their powerful strength is far more than that, and it is not used to do such trivial things.

Finally...

He is also qualified to take a peek at the most mysterious secrets of this world, this time and space, and this genius club.

...

In the main monitoring room.

Lin Xian, Chu Shanhe, and Officer Liu wore headphones and listened to the conversation in the interrogation room at the same time.

In the notebook in front of Lin Xian, he wrote his own record:

Seven deadly sins.

Arrogance: Ji Xinshui, arrested and sentenced to death.

Jealousy: Zhou Duanyun, no entry information, no trace.

Rage: Zheng Chenghe, dead.

Laziness: Ji Lin, arrested and sentenced to death, no evidence of conviction so far.

Greed: Academician Lyon, dead.

Gluttony: Sergeant Sam, dead.

***: An Jie Lika, a famous Hollywood actress, has no criminal facts.

…

The above are all the contents of Ji Xinshui's confession.

Including the previously unknown assassination abroad, as well as the domestic cases of Xu Yun, Tang Xin, and Academician Lyon, Ji Xinshui explained them clearly.

The basic executors were Sergeant Gluttonous Sam.

The planners were Ji Xinshui and Zhou Duanyun.

Ji Xinshui also admitted that Zheng Chenghe was indeed a dead man he raised, but he was also very disappointed with Zheng Chenghe... He didn't expect that this was the first time he was asked to participate in the operation, and he made such a big mess.

"Sure enough, this kind of person can't become a big man."

When mentioning Zheng Chenghe, Ji

Xinshui was very disgusted:

"I thought he was a loyal and good dog, but the result was the one that disappointed me the most."

The previous reversal of the death of Zheng Chenghe's parents was also the same as Lin Xian's guess, and it was Ji Xinshui's powerful forces that intervened behind the scenes; naturally, Zheng Xiangyue's medical expenses were also funded by Ji Xinshui's foundation.

For Zheng Chenghe, his sister is everything to him, and Ji Xinshui is also his greatest benefactor, so he would naturally agree to help Ji Xinshui do some dirty work.

Zheng Chenghe himself thinks so too.

But...

Perhaps this man still underestimates his conscience.

Good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil. He often tells his sister this sentence to teach her to be good. Perhaps unknowingly, Zheng Chenghe's heart full of rage, revenge and world-weariness is constantly purified by gentle and kind people like his sister, Xu Yun and Lin Xian...

Without Zheng Chenghe realizing it himself, his heart has long been extremely calm.

Lin Xian doesn't know why Zheng Chenghe slammed on the brakes and turned the steering wheel at the end of hitting himself to death.

Did he hear Ji Lin shouting his name?

Or did he not know that the person in front of the car was himself, but his conscience emerged at the last moment of hitting someone to death?

Don't know.

Not sure.

But Lin Xian would feel fortunate for such a man with a tragic childhood and scars on his face, fortunate that he made the right choice at the end of his life, and in Zheng Xiangyue's heart, he is still as clean as moonlight.

So far.

Ji Xinshui's matter has been roughly settled.

Lin Xian had instructed Officer Liu and Chu Shanhe not to let him have contact with anyone during the period before his execution.

Anyway, the criminal evidence he has spit out now is enough to sentence him to death, and because the nature is extremely serious and the impact is extremely bad, this death penalty must be executed immediately, and the procedures are very fast, saving a long night and many dreams.

So next...

There are only two questions left].

Lin Xian looked at the white paper in front of him with the names of the seven deadly sins written on it, and looked at Ji Lin's name on it.

Ji Lin......

So far, there is still no evidence that he was involved in the crime.

He himself is extremely smart, leaving no flaws.

Even though he had stepped into the trap set for him, he had finally withdrawn his hand due to a strange combination of circumstances.

Moreover, Ji Xinshui insisted that Ji Lin and Angelica were innocent because the evidence he spit out was enough to sentence him to death.

This leads to...

A few hours later, Ji Lin's detention time was up to 24 hours. Because there was no evidence to prove his guilt or involvement in the murder, the police had to release him.

Lin Xian had no clue about this.

Is Ji Lin really innocent?

He personally believes that it is absolutely impossible.

But can you find a shred of evidence?

For example, the evidence that he participated in the murder of Xu Yun and the murder of Tang Xin could not be found.

All are my own subjective judgments and conjectures.

This is the first question, and there is a second question.

Lin Xian picked up the red pen and placed a red circle on Zhou Duanyun's name behind the word jealousy.

"Zhou Duanyun."

Lin Xian silently recited the name of this former classmate.

Different from Ji Lin.

The facts of Zhou Duanyun's crime are undeniable. Not only did Ji Xinshui tell the truth, but she also witnessed his participation in the murder of Tang Xin. This revenge would not be allowed without avenging it.

and.

If Zhou Duanyun is allowed to wander outside, it will also be a huge threat to his own safety.

Immediately, he will bring Liu Feng to Donghai, push his overall plan to the next step, and start to get closer to the Cosmological Constant and the Genius Club.

At this time, there is an unknown risk like Zhou Duanyun

Outside, Lin Xian was really worried.

To cut the grass, we must remove the roots.

Otherwise, there will be endless troubles.

You must catch all the Seven Deadly Sins in one fell swoop to ensure your absolute safety and develop your power with peace of mind.

Of course, things about talent clubs also need to be considered.

It's just that Huangque himself is a member of the Genius Club, and so far, Lin Xian feels that he has no substantial interaction with the Genius Club, nor any friction. There may be some reasons for this that he is not aware of... But, these Things need to be thought about later.

In front of you.

We must find a way to solve the two big problems of Ji Lin and Zhou Duanyun.

Lin Xian took off the headphones on his head.

Looking at Ji Lin sitting safely in the interrogation room on the surveillance screen, he looked at the time subtitles jumping on it.

May 4th, 22:30 at night

There are only three hours left before Ji Lin is acquitted.

You have to think of a way.

Lin Xian closed his eyes... and began to think deeply again.

He found.

Ji Lin is much more difficult to deal with than Ji Xinshui.

To put it bluntly, the reason Ji Xinshui was able to take the bait in his plan was ultimately due to the endless desire in his heart.

arrogant.

In Tianzhu teachings, arrogance is the first of the seven deadly sins.

It turns out.

Ji Xinshui is indeed arrogant.

If today's invitation letter was used to deceive Ji Lin, it would definitely not be able to deceive him. Ji Lin's reason would never let him make such a mistake.

Even if it is used to deceive people like Zhou Duanyun, it still cannot be deceived, because Zhou Duanyun's desires are obviously still at the practical level, more money, fame, status, respect, etc...

Only with Ji Xinshui's status and height could he be so obsessed with the Genius Club.

Because the real world can no longer satisfy their inflated desires. Only a mysterious, powerful organization like the Genius Club that runs through time and has more unpredictable goals is their ultimate pursuit.

so……

What should Ji Lin do here?

After thinking for a while, Lin Xian opened his eyes and looked at Officer Liu:

"Officer Liu, when we announce Ji Xinshui's guilty plea tomorrow, can we also erase Zhou Duanyun's name?"

Officer Liu was very surprised when he heard this:

"Lin...Lin Xian, what does this mean? Zhou Duanyun has done so many excessive things, I have already planned to contact the country and list him as a globally wanted criminal. What do you think about erasing his crimes... None of them are suitable."

Lin Xian shook his head:

"It's just a temporary wipe. I have a plan, maybe... I can hook him."

Lin Xian smiled:

"I'm not going to hide it from you, Zhou Duanyun and I are high school classmates, and we often interact with each other. I know him quite well, and I also know what he has always wanted... Please cooperate with me. "

Officer Liu and Chu Shanhe looked at each other, then both nodded.

During this period, they had truly witnessed Lin Xian's strategies and brains.

Whether it was the arrest plan or the miraculous attack just now, Ji Xinshui honestly confessed all the facts of the crime, which was proof of Lin Xian's strength.

"No problem, Lin Xian."

Officer Liu nodded heavily:

"I believe you! From now on, just follow your plan and I will take care of the rest!"

…

Early morning.

Ji Lin closed his eyes and rested in the interrogation room, feeling the passage of time.

He knew that the 24 hours were almost up.

I will leave here soon.

Squeak————

The heavy door of the interrogation room was pushed open

, someone walked in.

He looked up...

It's Lin Xian.

The two people's eyes connected, and they looked at each other speechlessly.

Just like the two people's gaze in the gorgeous fireworks-like explosion last morning, you know me, I know you, but there is an uncrossable galaxy between them.

Lin Xian pulled out his chair, sat opposite Ji Lin, and looked at him:

"Ji Xinshui explained everything."

Ji Lin was amused and shook his head gently:

"impossible."

Lin Xian took out the videos and transcripts that he had prepared and showed them to Ji Lin.

In the video, Ji Xinshui was smiling and nonchalantly recounting the incident in which he killed Dr. Poonsmer in Wolfsburg, Germany.

Ji Lin's expression changed slightly.

He knew Ji Xinshui so well that this was not something he should be able to do.

This is tantamount to sentencing yourself to death.

Why did he do this?

Ji Lin couldn't understand.

"However, Ji Xinshui said that you and Angelica are innocent."

Lin Xian put away the tablet playing the video and looked up at Ji Lin:

"This is quite beyond my expectation. I didn't expect that such a ruthless person who attacked his own students, ah, no, to be precise, his own son-in-law... actually chose to protect his own children at the end of his life... even if They are not biological, they are all adopted.”

"It's hard to imagine that the tiger's poison could not eat its seeds, but it would happen to Ji Xinshui."

Ji Lin heard this and spread his hands:

"That's because Angelica and I are innocent."

He smiled and looked around at the interrogation room, which was narrow and tightly covered with soft sponge:

"Lin Xian, this is the birthday gift you really want to give me, right? To be honest...compared to the Gothic version of the Rhine Cat, this gift is more of a surprise."

Snapped.

Lin Xian snapped his fingers.

Bang, a familiar muffled sound.

The one-way viewing glass went out and turned into a black screen. All electronic surveillance equipment in the interrogation room was turned off. All conversations in the interrogation room became secrets and were not known to any third party.

Ji Lin looked at the surrounding cameras with their heads lowered, then looked back at Lin Xian, wondering what trick he was trying to play.

I saw...

Lin Xian took out a brown document bag and untied the white cotton thread on it.

from the inside.

Take a folded piece of white drawing paper.

He put the white drawing paper on the table and pushed it in front of Ji Lin:

"This is the birthday gift that Chu Anqing and I really want to give you."

Wow...

Lin Xian opened the drawing paper.

Ji Lin took a deep breath and looked at the superb pencil sketch in front of him——

The clean paper surface and smooth pencil lines depict three young men and women who are warm and harmonious.

Lin Xian and Ji Lin stood behind, looking down at Chu Anqing who suddenly jumped over.

Chu Anqing, who was well prepared, smiled with her eyes shaped into two shallow crescents, and squeezed in front of the two of them with two cute scissor hands.

The shutter was pressed at that moment, capturing the heartwarming moment of the three of them taking a photo together.

"In that case... let's exchange gifts! We agree to give each other gifts on every birthday in the future! This way, everyone is guaranteed to receive at least two gifts on every birthday!"

"Since we are good friends, of course we should celebrate together until our last birthday!"

"Ji Lin, just wait. Lin Xian and I will definitely prepare a big gift for you! We need to make up for all the birthday gifts you haven't received in the past few years!"

"Ji Lin...if you can't express your wish, it won't work if you express it!"

"There is a word that generally refers to two people who have a good relationship and like-minded people. It is the title of the most classic masterpiece of the famous singer Zhou Huajian, and it is also used in the famous comic book adaptation

The codename of the villain in the movie "20th Century Boys!" What is this word?"

…

Look at this sketch.

These words that Chu Anqing once said were like the returning sea water, coming from the depths of memory...reverberating in Ji Lin's ears with joy and laughter.

"Originally, Chu Anqing planned to color it with watercolors based on the sketch and then give it to you."

Lin Xian said softly:

"But later I ran out of time, so I gave you other gifts."

He leaned back in the chair, changed his posture, and looked at Ji Lin:

"I don't mean anything else. I'm not here to play any emotional cards for you. I just think that after today, we won't have much interaction. Now that this painting is finished... I'll give it to you."

Lift your wrist.

Lin Xian checked the time:

"In a few minutes, your detention time will reach 24 hours. All surveillance here has been turned off. Besides, I am not a professional interrogator, and the confession information I obtained has no legal effect."

"I came today just to ask you a question."

He raised his head again and looked into Ji Lin's eyes:

"Were you involved in the killing of Xu Yun and Tang Xin?"

…

There was a brief silence.

Ji Lin shook his head:

"No."

Lin Xian just looked at him.

There was a long pause.

Neither of them spoke.

Ji Lin's eyes were always fixed on the sketch on the table, while Lin Xian kept staring at the silent Ji Lin.

Beep.

Lin Xian's electronic watch made a slight sound.

That was the time reminder he had set during this period.

Turn over his wrist.

00:42

Clatter.

Lin Xian took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and threw them on the drawing paper in front of Ji Lin:

"You are free."

Those were the keys to his handcuffs and leg cuffs.

Lin Xian stood up and walked out the door.

"Lin Xian."

He had just taken two steps and held the door handle when Ji Lin behind him called him.

Lin Xian did not look back.

Ji Lin's voice came from behind:

"Are we friends?"

Lin Xian stared at the door handle below and did not continue to turn it:

"What is considered a friend?"

Ji Lin smiled:

"I don't know how to define it. This kind of thing seems easy, but also seems difficult. Just like I told you last night... If you will be sad after the other person dies, then you probably regard him as a friend."

"I have another opinion."

Lin Xian's right hand left the door handle and turned back:

"I think that only those who can not lie to each other can be considered true friends."

He looked into Ji Lin's eyes again:

"Tell me, Ji Lin, did you participate in the murder of Xu Yun and Tang Xin?"

This is the second time Lin Xian asked this question.

At this moment.

He didn't even know what answer he wanted to get.

Is it still a denial?

Or a reversed admission?

However...

Faced with this question again, Ji Lin was silent.

For more than a minute, the two looked at each other like this, as if time stopped, without a trace of words.

Lin Xian sighed lightly through his nose.

The silence at this time was basically an affirmation.

He couldn't tell what he felt now.

However, this was the answer he wanted to find out the most, to prove that he had not guessed wrong all along, and had not wrongly blamed anyone.

At least this time, Ji Lin did not lie to him.

"Lin Xian."

Ji Lin chuckled and spoke:

"If I die one day, will you be sad?"

He asked the same question for the second time.

It seems that he also wants to know Lin Xian's answer.

But...

Lin Xian turned his head, turned the doorknob, and walked out.

Bang.

The heavy door closed, leaving Ji Lin in the dim interrogation room. Lin Xian strode through the brightly lit corridor and came to the main monitoring room under the dazzling incandescent light:

"Plan, start."
