Chapter 41: Huang Litian's Terrifying Intuition

"I'm asking you, can this car move?" Huang Litian said, his head aching.

"It can move, all the way to Erxian Bridge." Ye Lin nodded earnestly.

"No, I'll be damned!"

Huang Litian realized he had been led into a ditch by Ye Lin.

"Ye Lin!"

"Present!"

"I'm going to ask you a few simple questions, just answer them. Don't say anything else, understand?" Huang Litian said.

"Understood, Investigator Huang. Sorry, I just thought you looked too serious and wanted to crack a joke to liven up the atmosphere." Ye Lin scratched his head with a naive look.

"I'll thank you for that," Huang Litian said in a low voice. "Do you know Xu Zhihu?"

"Don't know him, haven't even heard the name." Ye Lin answered truthfully; he really didn't know that the black-hearted boss who bought his organs was named Xu Zhihu.

Huang Litian confirmed that Ye Lin was not lying, but he still asked persistently, unwilling to give up.

"Then have you been to the farm?"

"I have." At the mention of this, Ye Lin's expression suddenly turned fearful.

"What was in the farm?"

Huang Litian stared fixedly into Ye Lin's eyes; the clue was coming!

"In that farm! There were chickens!"

Huang Litian was so angry he almost punched Ye Lin: "Nonsense! Of course there are chickens on a farm!"

"No, Investigator Huang, not ordinary chickens, the kind that weigh a hundred pounds or so." Ye Lin said with a serious face.

When the hundred-pound chickens were mentioned, the people around were instantly wide awake, stretching their ears to hear what Ye Lin would say next.

"That chicken even asked me if I wanted to play, saying my condition was good and I wouldn't have to pay. I was very scared, so I ran away." Ye Lin blinked and said. He was telling the truth; back when he lived in the slums, there were always elderly bad women trying to trick him into giving up his "goods."

Huang Litian: "..."

He fell silent, because he realized that every word Ye Lin said was true.

There were two possibilities now: one, Ye Lin was an old fox more cunning than Father Ji, playing the fool; two, Ye Lin really had nothing to do with Xu Zhihu's death.

Huang Litian leaned toward the latter, so he didn't ask about the farm anymore, but instead asked where Ye Lin was tonight.

But asking this yielded even fewer results, because Ye Lin had indeed been practicing his blade work with Ji Lingyu at the Class Changer Guild tonight. The guild had records of that, which could be checked at any time.

Huang Litian quickly pulled up the records from there. When he saw that Ye Lin had destroyed a dummy capable of withstanding attacks from class changers under level 40, Huang Litian's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Ye Lin, can you explain why you are only level 16, yet you were able to destroy a dummy that can withstand attacks from class changers under level 40?" Huang Litian asked with a half-smile.

"I'm born with great strength," Ye Lin said without blushing or skipping a beat.

"Born with great strength? I advise you to tell the truth, otherwise I might have to keep you here overnight." Huang Litian tapped his fingertips lightly on the table.

Ye Lin thought to himself, "Damn it." It would certainly be impossible for others to pull up the detailed records of the Class Changer Guild, but the Investigation Bureau naturally had that right.

Had he known he was going to kill Kensen tonight, he wouldn't have been so flashy over there.

"Thanks to Uncle Ji buying me a set of good equipment, plus my status as a Forbidden Spellcaster, with a burst of power, I reached that level. After all, the dummy doesn't dodge," Ye Lin said truthfully.

Huang Litian narrowed his eyes, his fingers tapping the table lightly.

If he put it that way, there was actually no problem. After all, the power of a forbidden spell was inherently terrifying, and with a set of good equipment, a level 16 might not be unable to destroy a level 40 dummy puppet.

"You released a forbidden spell regardless of your physical health just to test your strength on a dummy? Why?" Huang Litian asked with a frown.

"Didn't really want to live anymore, is that against the law?" Ye Lin asked, blinking.

"It is not."

Huang Litian didn't continue to press on this, but changed the subject and said suddenly.

"Do you know Kensen?"

"I do, one of the top ten outstanding philanthropists in our city, though I haven't seen him much on TV."

"Oh? How so?" Huang Litian's gaze sharpened.

"My family is poor, we can't afford a TV."

Huang Litian: "..."

"Ye Lin, it seems you really do know something about Kensen's death." A glimmer of sharpness flashed in the depths of Huang Litian's eyes. "From the beginning until now, you have been digressing to distract my attention. Clearly, you don't want me to keep asking."

At the same time, a bold guess emerged in Huang Litian's mind.

A Forbidden Spellcaster! Capable of destroying a level 40 dummy!

The Ye Lin before him might be the mysterious Ling Ye! And Ling Ye might not just be one person, but possibly a well-trained organization!

Once this thought appeared in his mind, it could no longer be shaken off!

In this way, many things could be explained!

After the incident at Xu Zhihu's farm, Ye Lin was taken to the Ji family. Immediately after, the Ji family suffered retaliation from Kensen, and immediately after that, Kensen was silenced.

"You have something on you that attracted the attention of Kensen and the Ji Group. Xu Zhihu discovered this thing first, so you silenced him! Along with the farm and everyone else in it, you burned it all to the ground."

"Subsequently, Kensen suppressed the matter, secretly gathering strength to retaliate against the Ji Group, killing everyone in the Ji family villa, and President Ji also had a hand cut off. You... or rather, the force behind you, took action and wiped out Kensen's family! Am I right? Ling Ye!"

Huang Litian stared intently into Ye Lin's eyes, seemingly trying to see a panicked expression in the depths of them.

But he was disappointed. Although Ye Lin was panicked to death inside, on the surface he still maintained a naive and cute appearance, even blinking at Huang Litian.

"Investigator Huang, what are you talking about? Don't say things without evidence that are detrimental to unity."

With that one sentence from Ye Lin, Huang Litian immediately wilted like a deflated balloon.

That's right!

No evidence!

Whether it was the farm or the underground black market, everything had been burned clean by the karmic fire, leaving no trace behind.

Even if his guess was the truth, so what? Without evidence, he still couldn't define the matter.

Huang Litian took a deep breath. He firmly believed that even if his guess wasn't the absolute truth, it was close enough. Only this could explain the series of events that had occurred recently.

However, there was one point he couldn't figure out: the wiping out of the Ji family villa happened after ten o'clock at night, and the fire at the underground black market was after three o'clock in the morning. What happened in those five-plus hours in between?

If there had been a large-scale clash of class changers at the underground black market, their Investigation Bureau would definitely have received the news immediately.

But for those five-plus hours, it was dead silent, as if nothing had happened, and then the fire suddenly ignited, burning the entire underground black market to nothing.

Huang Litian looked deeply at Ye Lin. He understood that asking Ye Lin again would not yield anything. He glanced at his watch and said.

"Ye Lin, it is now five in the morning. There are twenty-seven hours left until the college entrance examination trial begins. You had better hope that within these twenty-seven hours, I don't find any evidence."
