Volume 1 Linglong Case Chapter 1: Crossing
“Hiss~! It hurts~!”
Lin Qianxing touched his neck. For some reason, he always felt a sense of cutting pain coming from there.
He couldn't understand why his neck would hurt if he stayed up late playing games.
Shouldn't it be a headache?
The moment I opened my eyes and saw the unfamiliar ceiling, a memory suddenly flooded into my mind.
That was the memory of another Lin Qianxing.
He was abandoned by his parents at a young age, and then picked up and raised by a thief. When his adoptive father died at the age of thirteen, he took over his job and became the new thief. Because of his excellent lightness skills, he became famous in the world and was called Half Wing.
Ten days ago, at the invitation of a mysterious man, he helped to do a big thing. He went to the palace and stole a treasure that was said to be priceless, which might be a bit of an understatement.
It's a priceless treasure!
The treasure seemed to be called Linglong Yudan.
He was responsible for the reception, and if the reception was successful, he would be rewarded with one thousand and two taels of silver.
The other party also gave him a deposit of one hundred taels in advance.
Faced with such high rewards, he decided to take the risk.
The things were taken out, and he escaped through the rat tunnel he had dug in advance and completed the transaction.
After returning home, someone came and wanted to kill him without much communication! ! !
Why?
He usually hides very well. When he goes out to steal money, he covers his face tightly , even with the soles of his shoes. Everyone else thinks Banzhiyi is a man over seven feet tall. The only person who knows his identity in Wuding City, apart from his adoptive father, is the shopkeeper of Jinyu Pavilion, right?
Phew~!
The blade fell on the neck and blood spilled.
…
Lin Qianxing came back to his senses from his memories and touched his neck carefully.
I didn’t feel any pain, was it a dream?
But why are memories so real?
Just as he was thinking, Lin Qianxing glanced at his palm, which was covered with sticky blood.
Lin Qianxing stood up and glanced at the ground where he was lying. The ground beneath him was covered in blood.
His eyes changed and his heart was filled with uneasiness.
"Traveled through time?"
Lin Qianxing's mind was filled with complicated thoughts, and he felt speechless about the current situation.
He just stayed up all night playing games, so how did he travel through time?
Moreover, he lives a happy and prosperous life. He has neither cancer nor broken up with his girlfriend. Apart from the condition that he is an orphan, the other conditions have nothing to do with being a time traveler, right?
Another thing, if you travel through time, why would you die if you choose a better identity?
This is a thief who was just involved in a big case and was just silenced! !
What should he do next?
Lin Qianxing forced himself to calm down and immediately looked around the house.
This is a bedroom with simple furnishings, including a bed, a table, a cabinet, and a chair. There is also a chamber pot under the bed that looks somewhat retro.
According to his memory, he found a bronze mirror in the cabinet.
This thing is an antique, but it is polished very smoothly, so it was kept by the predecessor and used as a mirror for disguise.
Lin Qianxing picked up the mirror and looked at himself in it.
In the mirror, there was a handsome young man with black blood on his neck. He looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, with long hair simply tied behind his head, and he had a good-looking appearance.
The most important thing is that he and Lin Qianxing looked almost exactly the same when he was sixteen or seventeen years old in his previous life.
Isotopes in different time and space?
Same name, same appearance.
Lin Qianxing couldn't think of a second answer.
After thinking about it, Lin Qianxing opened the window and observed the sky outside.
The memory in his mind instantly allowed him to determine the time. It was already the morning hour and dawn was almost approaching.
He walked to the kitchen, took some water from the tub and washed the blood stains off his neck, revealing a clean neck.
The wound has disappeared and there is no feeling of ischemia in the body.
Is it a time travel benefit?
Refresh status?
After cleaning the dirt off his body, Lin Qianxing found a set of clean clothes in the closet and put them on, then began to think about the current situation.
There is no doubt that Half Wing's identity was exposed.
It's even possible that the other party knew his identity from the beginning and just wanted to use him for support.
Once they get the goods, the other party will kill to silence them.
If the other party knew that I was not dead, things would become serious.
Lin Qianxing didn't know how valuable the things stolen from the palace were, but the act of stealing things from the palace itself was a serious crime.
By then, those guys from the Anti-Evil Bureau will probably have to be dispatched.
And now that I think about it, when he went to meet the challenge, things went too smoothly, as if all the joints had been opened up.
If you think about it carefully, this is definitely the result of embezzlement by officials in the palace.
The best thing he could do now was to leave Kyoto as soon as possible, otherwise he would die without knowing how he died.
Thinking of this, Lin Qianxing also came to his senses.
Things have come to this, and he has no choice but to accept it.
Even if you start with a bad hand, you have to play it and you can't just lie down and do nothing.
Walking into the living room, Lin Qianxing started counting from the floor tiles at the door. After taking a few steps forward, he took three steps to the left. He then picked up the bolt against the door and pried open the floor tiles. There was a box underneath.
"Luckily it wasn't searched!"
Seeing the box, Lin Qianxing breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the other party did not have time to search these things, so he ran away after silencing them.
He took the box out and looked at what was inside.
A transparent red jade bracelet.
A stack of large-denomination silver notes of more than fifty taels and three bars of gold.
This is the life savings of his thief father, as well as the wealth he has accumulated over the years.
In an ordinary city, it might be enough to buy a decent property.
But in Kyoto, this is just enough money to buy a nicer house.
Even those close to the inner city can’t afford it.
But it doesn’t matter, Lin Qianxing doesn’t plan to continue staying in Kyoto.
After that, he left Wuding City and went to live in a more remote city. In his memory, there seemed to be some supernatural powers in this world.
You can then take your time to do it.
If you think about it carefully, even though the identity you traveled through was involved in a major case, he has been silenced, and the thieves should not be able to find him again. He still has a lot of initial funds on him, so it’s not bad! !
Thinking of this, Lin Qianxing packed his bag, put some dry food and water in it, then wrapped his box containing his gold and jade bracelets in it, and prepared to set off.
Of course not through the front door.
Whose thief came in through the front door?
Lin Qianxing came to the backyard and looked at the courtyard wall that was more than ten feet high. His intuition told him that this was a piece of cake.
Bend your knees and push slightly with your feet.
Lin Qianxing only felt his body lightly jumping onto the top of the courtyard wall.
And there was no sound from the soles of his feet after he landed.
Lin Qianxing's face lit up with joy, and he immediately used his lightness skills to walk towards the city gate.
He could leap thirty to fifty feet away with one leap, and land silently, and could easily jump anywhere on the rooftops.
"Holy crap! That's awesome!"
Lin Qianxing suddenly understood why the other party asked him to steal things.
Half Wing lives up to its reputation!
Wouldn't it be better to fly if you had one more wing?
Soon, Lin Qianxing had arrived near the city gate, but his heart sank.
The city gates, which were usually open, were now closed and surrounded by soldiers.
Lin Qianxing even saw the black dogs from the Anti-Evil Bureau.
The Anti-Evil Division is the official law enforcement agency of Dayu Country. Because they wear all black, they are called Black Dogs by thieves like Lin Qianxing who are not worthy of being in public.
Seeing them, Lin Qianxing felt scared from the bottom of his heart.
Because none of these black dogs are bad at martial arts. My adoptive father in my previous life was seriously injured by a man from the Anti-Evil Bureau and eventually died.
But my predecessor didn't resent these things.
If you want to eat this meal, you have to pay the corresponding price.
If you want to make money through illegal means, you must be prepared to die from it.
My predecessor has also verified this truth.
Although the knife mark on his neck has disappeared, Lin Qianxing can still vaguely feel the pain.
Lin Qianxing retreated quietly, not knowing what to do for a moment.
If the other party knows his identity, it would be difficult for him to go to places he is familiar with , otherwise he would most likely be exposed instantly.
If he can't leave the city now, he'll be like a frog in boiling water. With the sense of smell of those black dogs in the Anti-Evil Bureau, they will probably find him soon.
“Woof woof woof~!”
Suddenly, a series of dog barking sounds were heard, startling Lin Qianxing.
He turned his head and saw a pitch-black dog barking at him.
At just one glance, Lin Qianxing couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.
These are the spirit dogs raised by the Anti-Evil Bureau. They have a strong sense of smell and can smell scents as far as three miles away. They are extremely terrifying.
The arrival of the spirit dog proves that the people from the Anti-Evil Bureau should also arrive.
Without thinking, Lin Qianxing turned around and used his lightness skills to run away.
“Woof woof woof~!”
“Woof woof woof~!”
The sound of dogs barking was heard one after another, and Lin Qianxing felt a chill in his heart.
It’s over, it’s over!
Next, he will definitely be arrested and thrown into a black prison for interrogation. Death will be a good thing by then. I am just afraid that life will be worse than death!!
"stop!"
Suddenly, a middle-aged man in a black robe from the Anti-Evil Division jumped high in front of Lin Qianxing, with the blade in his hand pointing directly at Lin Qianxing's chest, forcing him to stop.
At the same time, four or five people rushed over from the left and right sides and behind, led by spirit dogs.
Lin Qianxing's forehead was covered with sweat. How should he run now?
Let’s compete in lightness skills to see who is faster?
Not to mention that he was surrounded , the badge on the middle-aged man's waist was a bronze medal, right?
The identity level of the detectives in the Anti-Evil Bureau is determined by the badges they wear.
Iron medal, bronze medal, silver medal, gold medal, jade medal.
Iron-plated constables usually solve criminal cases involving ordinary people, while bronze-plated constables deal with underworld masters.
This guy's movement was so fast just now, and his Qinggong skills were not necessarily slower than his. Moreover, his companions were also surrounding him. If they really fought, Lin Qianxing felt that he was in great danger.
"Half a wing?" The middle-aged man looked at the stunned Lin Qianxing and suddenly asked.
Lin Qianxing didn't understand how the other party recognized his identity, but he still said: "Since you know me, it's easy to deal with. This is just a small gift. Please let me go today. I will give you a big gift in the future."
Lin Qianxing said this and threw out a gold bar.
"Not enough!" The middle-aged man looked at Lin Qianxing jokingly and said, "We have so many brothers, and you only give this little?"
Lin Qianxing gritted his teeth, threw out another gold bar and said, "I came out in a hurry, this is all I have, please be merciful, sir."
The middle-aged man put away the gold bars and winked at his two colleagues, asking them to slowly approach Lin Qianxing.
This scene startled Lin Qianxing, and he asked, "Sir?"
The middle-aged man sneered and said, "Seeing that you are so sensible, I would like to let you go, but unfortunately, you are too brave and even dare to steal the exquisite jade gall. The court has ordered us to catch the real culprit within three days, so don't blame us."
Hearing the voice, Lin Qianxing felt a chill in his heart.
The other party directly linked him to the Linglong Yudan incident, and it is very likely that this guy was also instructed.
Yes, otherwise why would I recognize his identity the first time I saw him?
It seems that the person who embezzled the property is planning to make him take the blame.
Perhaps this is also intended to leave no evidence.
But he is still alive!
In other words, even if he was caught and confessed everything, he would probably be dead.
Can't be caught, absolutely not!!
Lin Qianxing looked at the approaching person and became extremely nervous. He began to try all kinds of methods and called out the name of the golden finger he had seen in novels.
Chat group?
System dad?
Sign in?
Dark blue, add some!!
…
Damn it, other people who travel through time have golden fingers for systems or something, why don’t I have it?
"I told you not to play games all night long!"
In the end, Lin Qianxing sighed and prepared to accept the cruel fate that was to follow.
【Ding Dong~! Rubik's Cube Game is at your service. 】
