Volume 1 Linglong Case Chapter 16 Cooperation
Hearing the sound, Lin Qianxing's flying knife, which had been infused with his internal energy, stopped in his palm.
After thinking for a while, he hid behind a tree a few hundred meters away and shouted, "What can you do to help me?"
Tan Lian was shocked when he heard the voice. He just saw the flying knife falling from the sky, and thought of the light martial arts that Banyi could fly, so he guessed that it was Banyi.
But this was just a test after all. The information he received did not say that Banzhiyi had such a weird hidden weapon technique.
"I know you didn't steal the exquisite jade gallbladder. I can help you investigate the case and clear your name." Tan Lian said quickly, "And we will send messages back every once in a while. If you kill me here, the court will notice it soon. If they really start investigating, there are also the Golden Detective, the Jade Detective, and the Great Commander above the Anti-Evil Division. You won't have a chance to survive at all."
"I'm a thief and don't need to be innocent. Besides, I've already killed your colleague. If I don't kill you, won't I be able to find evidence against you? It's better to kill you to silence you. That way, no one will know that it was me who killed you." Lin Qianxing said.
"No, you need this innocence. Linglong Yudan is the emperor's beloved. After it was stolen, the emperor was furious and issued a death order requiring the Anti-Evil Division to find Linglong Yudan. You will not have peace until Linglong Yudan is found." Tan Lian paused here, looked at his dead colleague, and then said: "In addition, Feng Jie died at the hands of a passing bandit. I have killed that bandit, haven't I?"
Lin Qianxing thought about the gains and losses in his mind.
If Tan Lian was really killed, it might alert the Anti-Evil Bureau.
Considering their previous ability to stick to him like taffy, Lin Qianxing had no doubt that the Anti-Evil Bureau could easily find him if they wanted to.
So killing Tan Lian might not necessarily be a better thing, and Lin Qianxing really wants some peace now.
He was tired of this kind of life of eating wind and drinking dew.
At least he wanted to find a softer bed to sleep on, take a shower every other day, and sit at the dining table to eat a normal meal.
Instead of hiding in the wild and sleeping in caves and treetops like this, without being able to take a shower for three to five days, and eating either game or dry food.
The only question is, why would the other party help him, and why should he trust the other party?
"Why should I believe you?" Lin Qianxing asked.
Hearing Lin Qianxing's words, Tan Lian was delighted. As long as he could convince Lin Qianxing, he would have a chance to survive.
So he said, "Don't worry, Your Excellency. I am a trustworthy person. This matter is closely related to me. If I don't find Linglong Yudan, I may never be promoted in my life. Moreover, catching you may not be a good thing for me. You should know that the Linglong Yudan case is related to some big shots. If I bring you back to Kyoto, I may be killed immediately. Therefore, only by helping you investigate the truth, finding Linglong Yudan, and clearing your name, can I have a chance to survive and be promoted..."
Lin Qianxing had no hope at all as to whether Tan Lian would keep his promise, but he believed that the other party did not want to arrest him.
Because he knew very well that the person who stole Linglong Yudan was a thief who was embezzling from his employer and was a powerful person.
If the silver police arrested him, it would not be surprising if he committed suicide by stabbing himself seven or eight times in the back.
He could just trust the other party for now. It wouldn't make much difference whether he killed him or not, and it would be difficult for the other party to pose a threat to him for the time being.
On the contrary, it would be more troublesome to kill him and let the Anti-Evil Bureau send someone else to hunt down Lin Qianxing.
"I'll believe you this time, but you have to tell me how you tracked down my location?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"We have a tracing ruler obtained from the Imperial Observatory. As long as we use the clothes you have worn or your blood and hair to record your traces, we can track you. We can find you even if you run to the ends of the earth." Tan Lian explained.
Lin Qianxing understood clearly that the methods of the Qigong practitioners in the Sitianjian were indeed not simple. Unfortunately, times have changed and it is difficult to practice Qigong now. Otherwise, he really wants to practice Qigong well.
"Where are the things?" Lin Qianxing asked again.
"It's in my arms. I'll throw it to you right now." As he said that, Tan Lian took out a palm-sized metal object from his arms and threw it hard in the direction of Lin Qianxing.
Under Tan Lian's huge force, the thing flew five or six hundred meters and then crashed into the bushes.
The thing was very solid and sank into the mud after falling to the ground without any damage.
Lin Qianxing looked at it carefully and even threw two flying knives to attack the thing. After finding that there was no trick, he wrapped his palm with cloth to pick up the thing and then put it in his arms.
"One last thing, what's your name?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"Tan Lian!" Tan Lian replied.
"You can go now. I will wait for you at the top of Wild Boar Hill outside Tongcheng at midnight three days later." Lin Qianxing said.
"Okay!" Tan Lian replied, then climbed up without hesitation, and dragged his broken body away.
When Lin Qianxing saw that Tan Lian's body was still able to move, he couldn't help but sigh that this was indeed a world of advanced martial arts. Even with so many flying knives stuck in his body, he could still move freely.
Although there was a reason why Lin Qianxing did not regard him as the main target of attack, Lin Qianxing felt that if he approached rashly, the possibility of being killed was definitely not low.
After Tan Lian went away, two flying knives appeared in Lin Qianxing's hands. He poured his internal force into each of them and threw them at Feng Jie's body.
One flying knife was aimed at the heart, and the other flying knife was aimed at Feng Jie's lower body.
Puff, puff!
The sound of the flying knife piercing the flesh made Lin Qianxing breathe a sigh of relief.
It seems that he is really dead.
Lin Qianxing walked out from behind the tree and came in front of Feng Jie. Looking at his body full of flying knives, he suddenly kicked him.
Bang!
After one kick, Feng Jie's body flew out, and Lin Qianxing used his lightness skills to chase after him and kicked him again.
Then he stopped and began to search Feng Jie's body.
Although he was a silver medal constable, Feng Jie did not have much money on him. Lin Qianxing only found a few taels of silver and two twenty-tael silver notes.
There is no doubt that this is a poor guy.
In order to prevent the corpse from resurrecting, Lin Qianxing dragged Feng Jie's body into the forest and then set it on fire.
He watched the flames burn for half an hour from a distance before leaving.
Lin Qianxing considers himself a magnanimous person. He certainly does not do this for revenge, he is just being cautious.
Well, be cautious!!
…
On the other side, Tan Lian, who had walked a long way away, seemed to sense something. He turned around and saw the rising smoke, and his eyes narrowed involuntarily.
He still hasn't figured out where Lin Qianxing got so many flying knives.
Could it be the Qiankun bag made by the Qigong practitioner of the Sitianjian?
But where did a thief like him get the Qiankun bag?
Perhaps only the three deputy commanders holding the Jade Detective Badges in the Anti-Evil Bureau can have this thing?
Tan Lian couldn't figure it out, but as for Feng Jie's death he could only say that it was bad luck.
After all, the dignified Wind Chaser was quite famous in the martial arts world. Unexpectedly, he would capsize in such a gutter. Anyone who saw this would have to say that it was fate that played tricks on him.
…
Time passed, and three days went by quickly.
Within three days, Lin Qianxing's cultivation level also improved.
Now, without using his internal force, the strength of his single arm has reached 2,500 kilograms. If he uses his internal force, the strength can reach over 4,000 kilograms.
His cultivation speed seems to be getting faster and faster .
On the one hand, the change in talent brought about by the character template is the other reason is that the tendons and veins have become stronger, making the circulation of internal force easier and the speed of refining medicinal power faster and faster, so that Lin Qianxing can now almost eat the Yi Jin secret medicine as a meal.
The time came to midnight.
On the Wild Boar Hill outside Tongcheng, Tan Lian, dressed in the uniform of the Anti-Evil Division, had been waiting here for a long time.
whoosh!
Suddenly, a flying knife fell in front of him, with a .
Tan Lian stepped forward and picked up the flying knife. It was written on it that the conversation location had been temporarily changed, and he was required to arrive within a quarter of an hour, otherwise no one would be allowed to arrive after the time limit.
Tan Lian was speechless at Lin Qianxing's caution, but he didn't say much. Instead, he quickly walked to the conversation location written on the paper.
He knew in his heart that Lin Qianxing might be watching his every move at this moment. If he showed any sign of abnormality, he might have to face the opponent's flying knife.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Tan Lian arrived at the location on time.
This place is actually on the edge of a cliff. If an ordinary person falls down, he will definitely die. But for Lin Qianxing, as long as he escapes from here, it will be difficult for anyone to catch up with him.
"You are very punctual. It seems that you really want to cooperate with me."
Lin Qianxing's voice suddenly appeared in the sky.
Tan Lian looked up and saw Lin Qianxing's figure slowly falling from the sky until he landed in the void outside the cliff that was level with him. The two were at least ten feet apart. It was difficult for him to launch an attack at this distance. Even if he could, he would have to consider whether he would die if he fell off the cliff from such a height.
"I'm just a chess piece. If I want to control my own destiny, I must seize every opportunity." Tan Lian said.
Lin Qianxing switched his toes, jumping in the air without leaving a trace, keeping his body suspended in the air, and said, "You said you could help me investigate the case, but this case involves a big shot in Kyoto. What can you do?"
"I am only nineteen years old now, but I have already reached the initial stage of marrow cleansing. The silver badge on my waist is the best proof of this." Tan Lian said.
"You are nineteen years old?" Lin Qianxing looked at Tan Lian's face, which looked at least thirty years old, and complained in his heart.
But then again, a 19-year-old marrow cleansing master, this guy is no simple matter!
Lin Qianxing knew that the practice of body tempering became more difficult with each step.
It may take a year to train the skin, but it takes at least three to five years to train the muscles, not to mention the strengthening of bones. Even if one is a bit more talented, it will take at least ten years. To be able to reach the level of marrow cleansing at the age of nineteen, Tan Lian can be said to be very talented.
Compared with his talent, his ability to handle cases is obviously more powerful.
The badge of the Anti-Evil Bureau is not awarded entirely based on your strength, but also depends on your means of handling cases. To be able to get a silver medal, either Tan Lian has a good background or he is very capable in handling cases.
If he has a good background, he would definitely not be pushed by his superiors to do the unpleasant task of arresting himself, so he naturally has strong case-handling capabilities.
Tan Lian's forehead was covered with black lines. He asked, "Your Excellency called me here just to ask these questions?"
Lin Qianxing suppressed his emotions and said, "In that case, tell me, how are you going to help me?"
