Night watchman?

A look of doubt appeared on Lin Qiye's face.

"Why did you stop?" Baili Pangpang rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat up from his chair. When he saw the two figures standing in front of the car, he was startled at first and asked in surprise:

“Isn’t that a lot of money?”

Of the two figures blocking the way of the car, one was one of the new recruits trained by Lin Qiye and others, and the other was a little unfamiliar. He should be an experienced night watchman who had been stationed in Linjiang City before.

The strange night watchman walked up to the car and knocked on the window.

The window rolled down, and the man looked around the car with a serious expression:

"Excuse me, is this the Nightfall team?"

"Yes." Lin Qiye nodded, "I am the captain, Lin Qiye."

"My name is Shi Wenxuan, and I'm the captain of the night watch team stationed in Linjiang City." Shi Wenxuan took out his emblem and revealed his identity.

"What's the matter?"

"Did you go to the Li Group's manor last night?"

Hearing this question, the five people in the car looked at each other at the same time, and Lin Qiye sighed inwardly.

It still couldn't be concealed from the local night watch team... It seems that Li Jianbai finally called the police.

As long as Li Jianbai called the police and described what happened to the local police station, due to the occurrence of some supernatural phenomena, the case would be transferred to the desk of the local night watch team. As long as they did a quick check, they would know that they had come to Linjiang City.

Lin Qiye had anticipated this would happen and was mentally prepared to accept punishment.

Lin Qiye was silent for a moment, then simply nodded in agreement:

"Yes, I have been there...but it has nothing to do with them."

The four people in the car turned to look at Lin Qiye at the same time.

Shi Wenxuan's expression became more solemn. He took a deep breath and spoke slowly:

"I'm sorry, please come with me."

…

The headquarters of the Night Watch Squad in Linjiang City.

In the cramped single room, Shi Wenxuan pulled out a stool, sat down opposite Lin Qiye, and stared into Lin Qiye's eyes with a frown.

"I did this all by myself." Lin Qiye said slowly, "Whether it's punishment or criticism, it's all directed at me alone. It has nothing to do with them."

"..." Shi Wenxuan sighed.

"Captain Lin, why are you so confused... I don't know what feud you have with the Li Group, but they are ordinary people after all, and you are the captain of a special team.

Isn't it too much to exterminate an entire family?"

Lin Qiye opened his mouth to say something, but was suddenly stunned.

"Destroy the whole family?" Lin Qiye frowned tightly, "What do you mean by destroy the whole family?"

Shi Wenxuan took out a few photos, placed them on the table one by one, and spoke slowly:

"At about six in the morning today, Li's housekeeper drove back to the manor, discovered the crime scene, and reported the case to the police. These are photos of the scene... Take a look."

Lin Qiye's eyes swept across the photos on the table one by one, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

Inside the magnificent mansion, there were bloody and hideous corpses everywhere. Broken wine glasses and gorgeous jewels were all soaked in a pool of scarlet blood. Deep knife marks were imprinted on the walls, like the claws of a wild beast, tearing open half of the mansion.

One of the photos was taken in the ditch outside the mansion. It showed a corpse with its neck cut open and the head separated. Lin Qiye was very familiar with the face of this person.

It was Li Jianbai, whom he had just met last night!

Lin Qiye flipped through the photos one by one, his face looking extremely ugly.

"More than 50 people who participated in the cocktail party were all buried here, and all the executives of the Li Group were killed. Not a single person was left alive... This is the largest murder case in Linjiang City in decades.

Those marks on the wall and the scars on the bodies don't seem like something that ordinary people can do, so the local police contacted us immediately. After investigation, we found that the only one who visited Linjiang City recently was your [Nightfall] team. "

Shi Wenxuan looked at Lin Qiye with complicated eyes.

"Captain Lin... why are you doing this? If you do something so heinous, you will receive more than just a simple punishment..."

"No." Lin Qiye shook his head decisively, "Impossible, I did go to the Li's Manor last night, but I only warned Li Jianbai alone. I didn't do these things."

Shi Wenxuan was stunned.

He frowned and thought for a moment, then slowly spoke,

"Captain Lin, I have often heard about your affairs from Duoduo before. He admires you very much. To be honest, I don't believe that you did this.

However, our Linjiang City has been peaceful and stable in recent years. Not even a 'mysterious' has appeared. Apart from you, no other superpowers have come here..."

"Where's the surveillance?" Lin Qiye frowned and asked, "There should be surveillance equipment in the Li family manor, right?"

"All surveillance cameras in the manor failed at the same time last night. This is also an important factor that makes me suspect that this incident was man-made. After all, even if there is a 'mystery', it is unlikely to use technical means to hack the surveillance..."

Monitoring failure?

The first person that came to Lin Qiye's mind was Jiang Er.

"Captain Lin, if it wasn't you, is there any possibility among your team members..." Shi Wenxuan spoke tentatively.

"Absolutely impossible." Lin Qiye's expression was extremely serious. "We do have some grievances with the Li family, but they would never do something like exterminating the entire family."

Shi Wenxuan's brows furrowed more and more.

"If that's the case, then this matter..."

Ding ding ding——!!

Shi Wenxuan had just said half of his words when Lin Qiye's cell phone rang.

Lin Qiye took out his cell phone, looked at the number on it, and immediately pressed the answer button.

"Hello? Commander Zuo?"

"I just received news about the Li family." Zuo Qing's voice came from the other end of the phone, "You guys are now..."

"We didn't do this." Lin Qiye said in a deep voice.

"Don't be nervous. Of course I know it wasn't you who did it. Everyone has seen what you did for Daxia." Zuo Qing's voice was extremely calm.

"You don't have to rush back to Beijing now. Stay in Linjiang first and investigate this matter thoroughly. Besides, there are indeed some strange things about Linjiang... It's a good opportunity for you to investigate it together. Shi Wenxuan will tell you the details."

When Lin Qiye heard these words, he finally felt relieved.

In any case, as long as the Night's Watch leaders trust them, things will be much simpler.

"I understand." Lin Qiye nodded, "I will find out."

Lin Qiye hung up the phone.

"Captain Shi." Lin Qiye looked at Shi Wenxuan in front of him and said seriously, "I may need the help of your local Night Watch team for this matter..."

"No problem." Shi Wenxuan agreed readily.
