Chapter 204: We still have to let professionals do it



Valentina Zindello's miniaturized Runeterra technology is crucial.

Accurately locking onto a person on Runeland is much more powerful than the positioning of artificial satellites on Earth.

This belongs to the Rune Technology System. Li Lin must be at least level 50 to unlock the theory, and there is no identical or similar technology in the skill branch.

He attached great importance to this technology and naturally would not let anything happen to Valentina.

Valentina was stunned by Li Lin's words. "Drug...drug?"

"Based on my experience, this should be some kind of alchemical potion that can cause hallucinations." Li Lin's voice brought her thoughts back to reality.

"But I've never drunk any alchemical potion before."

Li Lin shook his head and looked at Valentina's slightly distracted eyes. "Some things don't have to be consumed to be effective."

“…”

Valentina fell silent.

After more than ten seconds, she raised her head in fear and asked, "You mean... someone around me wants to harm me?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out. After all, your invention may affect the interests of the powerful."

Li Lin paused for a moment. "Of course, that's just a possibility. I need to go to your residence first to see the specific situation."

"I, I used to live at home in the northern part of the city, but then... later on, this happened, so I applied to the college and was assigned to the professors' apartment building..."

"Let's go to your dormitory first. There might be clues there. We'll go to your house later."

When she heard that she was going to leave the academy, Valentina suddenly became nervous and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.

Li Lin raised his eyebrows slightly. Valentina's condition was more serious than he thought.

If she hadn't found her today, perhaps within a few days, her spirit would have completely collapsed and she would have been kidnapped by the mastermind behind the scenes.

As for what the consequences will be...it's clear without even thinking about it.

"Don't worry, I'm here, no one will hurt you."

Li Lin controlled Infinity and sent a command signal in the direction of Jiraman.

In less than 10 minutes, five storm robots will fly over.

Then he looked at Kassa, who was confused and didn't know what was going on, and quickly explained to her what happened to Valentina.

Kassa's face, full of justice, was immediately filled with anger. She waved her fist and said, "We must catch those bad guys!"

Compared to shopping, this kind of fighting activity is obviously more attractive to her.

Seeing that Kassa didn't seem disappointed at all about the change in itinerary, Li Lin immediately looked at Valentina again.

"Take us to your apartment first."

The Piltover University faculty housing is located in a corner of the college.

In order to stimulate everyone's passion for innovation, schools that have no shortage of funds give preferential treatment in all aspects to teachers or students with great talent for invention and creation.

Generally, faculty and students live in mixed dormitories.

Those who have patented inventions and achievements, or who are favored by a family and have invested in advance, are eligible to apply for higher-end personal apartments.

Not only are there no rent and meal fees, there is even a dedicated servant service. You don't even need to do daily chores, all you have to do is focus on studying and making progress.

Under Valentina's guidance, Li Lin showed her exclusive custom-made badge of the Gilaman family to the guard at the apartment door and the law enforcement officer on duty on the same floor as her, and was then allowed to pass.

Gu Hou

There was even a female law enforcement officer who admired Li Lin so much that she asked him for an autograph...

Valentina lives in room 1048 on the 14th floor.

When she opened the door, Li Lin first smelled a very strange smell that was hard to describe.

Noticing his expression, Valentina explained, "This is a special kind of incense...made in Bandle City. Professor Heimerdinger gave it to me. He said it can relax...the mind."

You don't look relaxed at all.

Li Lin quickly looked around and the layout of the entire room came into view.

The apartment had one bedroom, one living room, one bathroom, and a work laboratory, and the total area was roughly the same as his room at Gilaman's house.

"Where is the incense the professor gave you?"

"This... I don't think the professor would harm me..."

"It's just a precaution. The professor won't harm you, but there's no guarantee someone else won't secretly add something to it."

Valentina hesitated for a moment and pointed to the second layer of the coffee table in the living room.

Li Lin activated [Data-Based Thinking], walked to the sofa, picked up the incense under the coffee table, and examined it. "It's not that problem..."

Afterwards, he walked around the room several times, including the studio, bathroom and even the bedroom.

Even with his digitized thinking, he didn't notice anything unusual.

As expected, even after learning so much detective stuff from Caitlin, I still didn’t acquire detective thinking skills... I really don’t have the talent for this.

At this moment, Valentina approached him with a melancholy look on her face and asked, "Did you... notice anything unusual?"

"Uh, not yet. I think we need to call in a professional."

Li Lin shook his head and looked at a small round table in the corner of the living room, where Kasa was staring at the landline phone curiously.

"Is your phone working?"

"Before, someone kept calling me with death threats, but law enforcement officials said they couldn't find out who it was... so I unplugged the phone.

"But even if I unplug the phone line, I'll still hear it ringing every day, right next to my ear... If I hadn't met you today, I would have thrown the phone away."

"This is an illusion caused by the drug you were given. It's just like the guy who threatens you in your ear every day while you sleep. It doesn't exist."

What puzzled Li Lin was another point.

The telephone lines are fixed, one for each household, and unlike on Earth, you can't use virtual hidden numbers.

Even if the other party paid to use the public phone at the newsstand, the threat actor should at least make the call in person, right?

It is not difficult to find the mastermind behind the scenes by just following the clues.

But I didn’t find any…

Li Lin was stunned for a moment, then showed an expression of sudden realization.

Wow, it looks like a family from Piltover has taken action this time.

He folded his arms and lowered his head, lost in thought.

The Philos and Midalda families would certainly not do such a thing, let alone the Gilaman family.

As for other families, according to Mrs. Karina's attitude, if they are allies, they can discuss and solve this problem.

But if it is a hostile family, it will be even more convenient. You can directly attack them or even remove them from the list through public pressure, oppression at the parliamentary level, and on the grounds of violating Piltover's "Regulations on the Protection of Craftsmen".

However, Li Lin doesn’t think that the family behind the scenes that can bribe the law enforcement officer is an ordinary family.

Li Lin walked to Kasa and looked back at Valentina, "Let's plug in the phone line first. We need Kate to help with this case."
