Chapter 532: Many Offenses
"No." Lin Yilan denied it and successfully shifted the subject to Song Siyu: "You suddenly disappeared this afternoon. You must have gone to look for Song Siyu."
Huo Juncheng's eyes paused, but he didn't hide anything: "Well, I want to know if she is the murderer."
"Got an answer?" she asked.
"Not yet."
However, Huo Juncheng's first guess was that this matter must be related to Song Siyu.
Lin Yilan hugged Huo Juncheng tighter, trying to give him a sense of security in this way. When the two came out of the shopping mall building, they actually saw Taohua J!
"Third Brother."
At that moment, Taohua J was crossing the street lights, clutching snacks. He seemed to be practicing his Qinggong skills. After sprinting forward a meter, his feet miraculously left the ground. Huo Juncheng and Lin Yilan watched Third Brother's maneuver from a distance with bated breath, but the next second, before even five seconds had passed, he fell from mid-air.
Obviously, Taohua J failed in this attempt!
Taohua J seemed very depressed, and dejectedly threw the snacks in his hand into the trash can on the side of the road.
This scene was particularly heartbreaking. Lin Yilan looked at the tears in her eyes and they were about to flow out... They had all been practicing martial arts in the mountains since they were young. They all knew how big the dreams of each person were. Although Taohua J was not very interested in martial arts, he was able to perform light work independently under the pressure of his master.
There are only a few of them on their mountain!
Now he has lost even what he was best at... Perhaps only Lin Yilan can understand this feeling of loss.
"Third Senior Brother..." Lin Yilan called out in pain, and then ran across the street.
Huo Juncheng followed her closely, fearing that something might happen to Lin Yilan. After the two of them ran to the other side, they discovered that the third brother was followed by Zhang Suo, who was recording everything that was happening in front of him with a video recorder.
Lin Yilan looked at the two people in confusion, tears still hanging in her eyes: "What are you doing here?"
When Zhang saw Lin Yilan and Huo Juncheng, he immediately told Taohua J to stop for a moment and wait for a while. "Why are you two here? Oh, we were just simulating a criminal."
"A simulated criminal?"
"Yes, we've made some progress on that case where you helped us retrieve a body from a cliff crevice. We're currently simulating the criminal's Qinggong techniques. Your Third Senior Brother is cooperating with me." Zhang mentioned Taohua J with admiration. "I have to thank you all, though. If you hadn't introduced Taohua J to me, I'm afraid I would never have witnessed the profoundness of this martial art."
Lin Yilan finally felt relieved and pointed at her third senior brother: "Then you did that light skill on purpose?" Flying so low?
"yes."
Lin Yilan: “…”
After hearing this answer, she stepped forward and hugged Third Brother, not caring at all about the sweaty smell on Taohua J's body: "Third Brother! You are so mean... I thought something happened to you, I thought you had lost all your confidence."
Taohua J was startled, and her eyes met Huo Juncheng's in mid-air for a moment, as if to say, can you control your woman?
It's outrageous to hold him like this in broad daylight.
Huo Juncheng wasn't jealous of Taohua J. He knew in his heart that anyone in the world could become his love rival, except Taohua J! He shrugged and spread his hands helplessly.
"Junior sister, have you cried enough? My clothes are very expensive! Very expensive!"
Lin Yilan sobbed twice, and only after Taohua J's strong push did she let go! Zhang Suo, watching the two of them show such a deep brotherly and sisterly affection, couldn't help but sigh, "That's wonderful! I wish I had sent my son to the mountains when he was little. I hope he can become an upright person and a pillar of the country in the future."
"I advise you not to. It's not something that ordinary people can adapt to."
Chief Zhang chuckled twice. "Alright, we've been investigating the case for almost a month now, and there's been no progress. Since we've met here, why don't we have dinner together? I'll treat you!"
Huo Juncheng wanted to refuse, but he agreed when he saw Lin Yilan was still talking to Taohua J. They found a simple Chinese restaurant that looked clean.
Zhang praised the boss's cooking skills to them and arranged for everyone around him to sit down one by one. "I often come to their restaurant for dinner. I'll order some of their specialties."
"Okay, but don't order too much. We're not too hungry."
"Don't be polite with me! We have to order at least eight dishes." Chief Zhang ordered several dishes warmly and hospitably, and then mentioned this suspenseful case to Huo Juncheng and the others. He did not treat Huo Juncheng and Lin Yilan as outsiders, and also told them about the mysterious totem found on the back of the corpse.
After Zhang's description, the two people's faces changed... Isn't this the pattern of the mysterious organization?
They investigated this pattern for a long time, but they never expected that this bizarre case on the cliff was just as they thought, that is, it was related to a mysterious organization!
Temples... statues... piles of corpses... every scene looked just like the sacrifices in the movies!
This is consistent with their previous speculations.
Huo Juncheng feigned ignorance, not intending to share with Zhang Suo what they had discovered about the Flower Cult and the Son of God. Unexpectedly, after hearing Zhang Suo's description, Taohua J immediately said, "Junior Sister, isn't this the same totem you asked me to help you look up a while ago?"
"What?" Lin Yilan had never expected Third Brother to say that in front of Zhang Suo. She reacted quickly, replying, "Brother! Mine is a tattoo...it's different from his."
"Really?" Taohua J looked at Huo Juncheng again, not quite understanding what she said. Huo Juncheng pretended not to understand and played with his phone.
Zhang Suo has always been extremely wary of the people around him. His sense of smell is very sensitive. When he heard a few words from Taohua J, his mind immediately started to run wild... He even connected this incident with Lin Yilan.
Zhang, in his Detective Conan-like manner, asked sharply, "Brother Huo, what were those handcuffs you asked me for a while ago for?"
Huo Juncheng felt very uncomfortable being questioned like this. He raised his eyes and met Zhang Suo's gaze.
The two people are equally strong and both want to peek into each other's inner thoughts.
Seeing the situation was getting worse, Taohua J stretched out his fat hand in front of the two men, and the tit-for-tat scene finally stopped. Zhang's face quickly changed into a smile: "Look, my occupational disease has really come back. I'm so sorry, Brother Huo."
"It's okay. It's always good to be prepared."
Taohua J realized that he had said the wrong thing, and tried to correct it while eating, but it was just like adding legs to a snake, and it was completely useless!
This only brought Zhang Suo's suspicion to its peak.
Lin Yilan didn't know what happened to her third senior brother. After finishing the dinner with Zhang Suo, she immediately apologized to Huo Juncheng: "Don't blame my third senior brother. He doesn't interact with people much and doesn't understand the insidiousness and cunningness between people."
