Chapter 43: I Am a Poet
Qingcheng Investigation Bureau prison.
Knock, knock, knock!
Ye Lin, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by a sound of knocking on iron.
A cup of soy milk and a fried dough stick with excessive aluminum, accompanied by two lymph-meat buns, were placed in front of Ye Lin.
"Ye Lin, time to eat."
Huang Huang Litian's apprentice, Xu Xiu, handed a breakfast to Ye Lin's door.
This instantly aroused the dissatisfaction of another person being detained.
"No way, Officer! We are both locked up, why does he get soy milk, fried dough sticks, and buns, while I get steamed buns and white porridge?"
"He is a college entrance examination candidate, taking the exam tomorrow. If you are a candidate, you can have it too." Xu Xiu glared at the man unhappily, and the man instantly shrank his neck, not daring to speak anymore.
Ye Lin looked up and found that the person locked in the prison opposite him was a thin man, like a monkey, with sunken eye sockets, looking like he was lacking in Yang energy.
Finding Ye Lin looking at him, the monkey-like man couldn't help but greet Ye Lin.
"Oi! Brother, you are a college entrance examination candidate, how did you get locked up here? This is unreasonable, what big thing did you commit?"
"Me? They suspect I killed Wang Kensen." Ye Lin said truthfully.
"What?!" The monkey-like man's voice instantly became sharp. "You? A high school student? And killed Wang Kensen? Brother, I've seen so many people in my travels, you are definitely the biggest braggart!"
"Brother, what about you? What did you get in for?" Seeing that the other party didn't believe him, Ye Lin didn't explain, picking up a bun and taking a bite while asking. Those who could be locked in the Investigation Bureau prison were all class-changers.
"Me? I didn't do anything bad, I'm just a poet. I held the tight, fair, and white fruits, sniffed the blooming lavender sea, explored the damp and warm deep valley, irrigated the dry riverbed with sweet rain full of vitality, and then I was caught." The monkey-like man spread his hands and said.
"Speak human language!" Ye Lin frowned.
"I'm a flower-picking thief."
Ye Lin: "..."
"Hey! Speaking of this, I get angry! Damn it, originally there was nothing wrong. I changed my class to the Swift Spirit Shadow Guest profession, and everything I did was fast. Many women didn't even know they had been taken by me until I accidentally got the wife of a big shot, and that's how I was caught." The monkey-like man sighed.
The corner of Ye Lin's mouth twitched slightly. It was the first time he had seen someone describe themselves as a quick-shooter from such a fresh and refined angle.
And Swift Spirit Shadow Guest, as far as he knew, was an S-rank rare profession, known for its extreme speed and agility, able to disappear from the spot in an instant, coming without a shadow and going without a trace. A high-level Swift Spirit Shadow Guest was the best scout and assassin.
But this monkey-like man had awakened the Swift Spirit Shadow Guest profession and actually used the speed of this profession to be a flower-picking thief.
Sure enough, there are talents in every profession.
"Brother, aren't you curious which big shot it is? When they caught me, they dispatched nearly ten investigators above Level 40." The monkey-like man chuckled.
Ye Lin was stunned for a moment, a curiosity rising in his heart. In a small place like Qingcheng, investigators above Level 40 were already the most powerful existences. What kind of big shot would make the Investigation Bureau go to such great lengths?
"Let's hear it." Ye Lin swallowed the last bun and looked at the monkey-like man seriously.
A flash of pride crossed the monkey-like man's eyes, as if he were recalling the wonderful scene at that time. "That woman's skin was really as fair and smooth as milk, those thighs, those breasts, those small hands, tsk tsk tsk..."
"..."
"Talk about that big shot, didn't let you talk about his wife." Ye Lin reminded.
"Hehe, you might not believe it, but that woman is the wife of the Deputy Director of the Qingcheng Investigation Bureau!" The monkey-like man said proudly.
The wife of the Deputy Director of the Qingcheng Investigation Bureau?
Ye Lin's expression became strange. No wonder the Investigation Bureau had to dispatch ten investigators above Level 40 to catch this kid; not killing him directly was already considered benevolent.
"Brother, you are truly bold, daring to touch anyone's woman." Ye Lin couldn't help but shake his head.
"Hey! Do you think that Deputy Director of the Investigation Bureau is a good person? I was hiding in his cabinet at the time and heard him talking on the phone with Wang Kensen. Wang Kensen even said he had something to offer him." The monkey-like man said disdainfully.
"What did you say?!" Ye Lin stood up instantly, looking at the monkey-like man with suspicion. The Deputy Director of the Investigation Bureau and Wang Kensen were talking on the phone?
If they were in the same group, wouldn't he be sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth?
Just after standing up, Ye Lin felt a sense of dizziness. It was clear that the breakfast he had just eaten had some unknown drug in it!
With a clatter, Ye Lin fell to the ground because he couldn't stand steadily. He felt that his whole body had no strength.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" The monkey-like man asked.
"Don't worry about me, worry about yourself." Ye Lin said with a bitter smile.
If the other party wanted to make a move on him, the monkey-like man opposite him would definitely not survive, because he was in a position where he could see everything on his side clearly.
"Me? What's there to worry about? I'll be released after another two and a half years."
The monkey-like man was a bit puzzled. The next second, a long blade attacked like a stream of light, directly pinning him to the wall. The monkey-like man never expected that someone could assassinate him in the Investigation Bureau prison, so he had no precautions at all. Blood kept overflowing from his mouth. He raised his hand unwillingly, seemingly wanting to say something, and then his head tilted, and he stopped breathing directly.
Crack.
After the monkey-like man died, the door of Ye Lin's prison was opened. A tall, thin man wearing a hat, mask, and sunglasses, wrapped tightly, walked in.
He grabbed Ye Lin's hair and lifted him up, shouting coldly.
"Speak! Where is the thing?"
"Thing? What thing?" Ye Lin frantically sacrificed his intestines and blood to clean up the toxins.
Bang!
The tall, thin man directly slammed Ye Lin's head against the railing. Ye Lin only felt a roar in his mind, golden stars dancing in front of his eyes, almost fainting.
"Don't play dumb with me! Wang Kensen died at your hands, the key must be with you!"
The tall, thin man's voice was cold and cruel, and the dagger in his hand swayed in front of Ye Lin's eyes, flashing with cold light.
"You give me the key you got from Wang Kensen, and Wang Kensen's death will be over. If you continue to play dumb, I will dig out your two eyeballs first."
Ye Lin had words he couldn't say. In order to avoid leaving evidence and traces, he hadn't taken anything from the underground black market at all. Even if there was any key, it had been burned to ashes by him.
But now, he couldn't show any abnormality, otherwise this tall, thin man would definitely make a ruthless move. By then, he would either have to expose the secret of his immortal body or be blind for the rest of his life.
"You try digging one out!" Ye Lin became ruthless, staring at the tall, thin man fixedly. "The key is with me! But it's not on me! If you touch me, I guarantee you will never find that key!" ===== CHAPTER 44 =====
"Try digging for it and see what happens!" Ye Lin said fiercely, staring intently at the tall, thin man. "The key is with me! But it's not on my person! If you make a move against me, I guarantee you will never find that key!"
