Genius Club.

Chapter 216 Falling to VV
Wow.

In the control room of the Donghai City Public Security Bureau, Lin Xian sat at the table and turned to the next page of the psychologist's consultation notebook.

He didn't read it very carefully, nor did he care much about what was written in it.

Now, no matter what is written in it, it doesn’t matter.

In fact, there is nothing very important written in it.

When he and Gao Yang went to see the psychiatrist, he was already well prepared. He basically didn't tell the psychiatrist anything about the content of his dream, and he didn't even mention anything about the genius club and the future world.

What's more, now that Zhou Duanyun and Ji Lin are dead, all members of the Seven Deadly Sins are dead except for the Hollywood actress Angelica.

The notebook is now back in my hands, so there is nothing to worry about.

only……

Obviously all problems have been solved.

All the enemies are dead.

The plan was executed perfectly.

Why do I feel anxious and unhappy at this moment?

Lin Xian couldn't figure it out.

squeak-

The door of the control room was pushed open, and Officer Liu walked in and looked at Lin Xian:

"Lin Xian, we have found out everything. Zhou Duanyun returned to China early. But he was very cunning and did not use his own identity information... He had several complete sets of identity documents on him. This time he returned to China using a set of documents with the alias Chen Le, so we were unable to find his entry information."

"I have to say...Lin Xian, your plan is really brilliant."

Officer Liu smacked his lips in amazement:
"I didn't understand at first why you asked us to remove Zhou Duanyun's criminal information from the notice. Now I finally understand it -"

"【You deliberately caused a conflict between the two of them and used Ji Lin to lure Zhou Duanyun out!】"

"Except for the two of them, Ji Xinshui has been sentenced to death, and all other criminal members have died. Ji Lin and Zhou Duanyun are the only two who have been acquitted and have not been charged with crimes."

"But they both know that each of them has evidence of the other's crimes and can disclose this information to the police at any time. Whether it is Ji Lin reporting Zhou Duanyun or Zhou Duanyun reporting Ji Lin... they were originally grasshoppers on the same rope, but now they have each other's handles."

"Zhou Duanyun's situation is obviously more unfavorable. His mother is in China. After Ji Lin is acquitted, it is hard to guarantee whether he will use any means against his mother... Or maybe Ji Lin has some secret that Zhou Duanyun must kill. In short, Ji Lin's bait has indeed lured Zhou Duanyun into the trap."

"It's a pity... Ji Lin's reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance capabilities are very strong, so in order to prevent him from discovering our plan, we did not send anyone to follow him around and maintained a very long range of surveillance. So we waited until the electronic legcuffs died and then we dispatched from a distance, but there was nothing we could do about it... There is also good news. We did find a lot of criminal evidence from Zhou Duanyun's phone, not only Zhou Duanyun's, but also Ji Lin's."

After Officer Liu finished speaking, he gave Lin Xian a thumbs up:

"Lin Xian, you are truly a genius!"

Snapped.

Lin Xian closed the notebook on the desk and said nothing.

What Officer Liu said...

I only guessed part of it right, but not all of it.

The police thought that they deliberately let him go in order to let Ji Lin lure out Zhou Duanyun.

Actually not.

In Lin Xian’s original plan, Zhou Duanyun, Ji Xinshui and Ji Lin all had to pay the price of murder for their crimes.

[Blood debt must be paid with blood].

That day, in Ji Lin’s interrogation room.

Without any evidence to prove that Ji Lin was involved in the murder... Lin Xian asked him twice:

"Did you have any involvement in the murder of Xu Yun and Tang Xin?"

Lin Xian only asked Xu Yun and Tang Xin, and did not ask Academician Lyon, Dr. Ponsmer, or even... did not ask them about their plan to kill him.

If it happened the second time, Ji Lin would still insist that there was no answer.

Perhaps Lin Xian would hesitate whether to continue with this cruel plan.

but.

There aren’t that many ifs.

Faced with Lin Xian's second question, Ji Lin remained silent.

that time.

Silence is affirmation.

Ji Lin used silence to admit to Lin Xian that he was involved in the murder of Xu Yun and Tang Xin.

Then.

From this moment on.

There is nothing to consider.

The two of them are destined to not stand together.

One squatted in the dark, the other stood in the light.

It was impossible for Lin Xian to sympathize with or forgive a murderer.

That is unfair to the dead.

Even Ji Lin.

Even though... Lin Xian did, for a moment, a split second, hope that Ji Lin really had not participated in these two murders.

Even that moment was fleeting.

In short.

Although the deaths of Ji Lin and Zhou Duanyun were somewhat unexpected to Lin Xian, they were generally within the plan.

It is nothing more than the difference of who dies first and who dies later, whether one is killed by the other party or sentenced to death by the law.

only……

The only thing Lin Xian couldn't figure out was...

[This plan went so smoothly and was realized so quickly. ]

He didn't understand why both Ji Lin and Zhou Duanyun were so anxious to resolve this matter.

And, as if on purpose, they gathered at the psychiatrist's villa.

During this period.

In the end what happened?
I guess we will never figure it out.

There is no evidence to prove the truth, and now both of them can no longer speak.

Officer Liu blinked.

Come over here.

Looking at Lin Xian who was bowing his head in deep thought:

"Lin Xian, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so unhappy?"

Lin Xian raised his head and shook his head:
"Maybe... this part is too tiring."

Officer Liu patted Lin Xian's shoulder seriously:

"You look really bad. You didn't look like this last night... Maybe you were stimulated by the bloody scene? You should go home and have a rest."

Lin Xian nodded, took the brown notebook, walked out of the Donghai City Public Security Bureau, and took a taxi to MX Company.

He didn't go home.

Because the company's front desk just sent him a message saying that a lawyer from the United States was looking for him.

An American lawyer?
whats the matter?
Lin Xian came to his office on the 20th floor and sat down, then asked the front desk to bring the American lawyer who was waiting in the VIP room to the office for a meeting.

"Hello, Mr. Lin."

When the lawyer came in, he had a pure Dragon face, either Chinese or a Dragon working in the United States.

While shaking hands with Lin Xian, he introduced himself:

"My last name is Wang. I own a private law firm in the United States, specializing in serving successful people. I came to see you today... as Mr. Ji Lin's lawyer."

"what's up?"

Lin Xian was not in high spirits and responded:
"You want to sue me?"

"No, no, no...you misunderstood."

Lawyer Wang quickly explained:

"The day before yesterday, Mr. Ji Lin called me and said he wanted to make a will. He said that if he died for various reasons, all his assets would be inherited by you."

"what?"

Lin Xian felt like he had heard it wrongly.

He looked up from his chair:

"Ji Lin wants to give me the inheritance?"

He laughed, feeling unreasonable:

"Why give it to me? I don't want his money. Do you know what crime he committed? Do you know what his legal status is now?"

Lawyer Wang smiled:

"Mr. Lin, please listen to my explanation first."

"I am very clear about Mr. Ji Lin's situation, but these assets are all his legal gains, not illegal gains. Even if Mr. Ji Lin is convicted of murder, these properties are still protected by law... What's more, most of Mr. Ji Lin's assets are in the United States, and the way he handles them in a will complies with relevant laws."

"Mr. Ji Lin's assets are quite complicated, including real estate, copyrights, stocks and bonds, film and television revenue, etc. These assets are all in the United States, and it will be very troublesome to handle them across borders. So I hope that Mr. Lin can come to the United States when he has time. It will be easier for us to handle it in the United States."

"Then... as for cash deposits, in this envelope, there is a check for 1200 million US dollars from Citibank and a note written to you by Ji Lin. I personally suggest that you spend this 1200 million US dollars in the United States... If you want to transfer it to China, it will be very, very troublesome-"

"Stop." Lin Xian reached out to stop Lawyer Wang from talking nonsense, and looked at him impatiently:
"Lawyer Wang, did I not make myself clear enough? You can do whatever you want with Ji Lin's assets, even donate them. It has nothing to do with me. I won't take his money, and I don't need it."

"Mr. Lin."

Lawyer Wang said patiently:

"Don't get excited, Mr. Lin. I know it may be difficult for you to accept it at first, but Mr. Ji Lin has designated all his inheritance to you... This means that you must be very good friends. You should accept his kindness."

"friend?"

Lin Xian leaned back in his boss chair and smiled tiredly:

"【Sorry, I never considered Ji Lin to be my friend.】"

Emphasize the tone:

"Not even a moment."

Lawyer Wang was stunned.

After a few moments of silence, he placed the white envelope on Lin Xian's desk and pressed his business card on it: "Mr. Lin, you should reconsider it. Although a cash check of 1200 million US dollars may not be a lot of money to you, it is also a token of Mr. Ji Lin's kindness. What's more... those copyright income, dividends, and stocks are worth hundreds of millions of US dollars..."

"Anyway, this is my business card. I'll come to talk to you anytime you're free."

After saying that, Lawyer Wang bowed slightly and left Lin Xian's office.

Lin Xian rubbed his forehead.

Some headache.

Today, he was really irritable.

He picked up Lawyer Wang's business card and threw it into the trash can.

Then he picked up the white envelope and took out the contents...

The first thing I saw was a Citibank check for $1200 million.

And underneath the check, there was a handwritten note.

Lin Xian took the note and saw Ji Lin's handwriting on it -

[I owe you a life, and now I'm giving it back to you. ]

"This……"

He pinched the piece of paper between his thumb and index finger, and the tips of his fingers gradually turned white.

This is a suicide note.

Ji Lin, he knew he would die!
But the question is, how did he know he would die?
How did he know that Zhou Duanyun would definitely kill him, rather than him wanting to kill Zhou Duanyun?

I owe you my life.

Now I give it back to you.

Lin Xian looked at the handwriting that was as beautiful as a girl's again...

Suddenly.

He figured it out.

thump.

His left hand holding the note fell limply onto the table.

Look straight ahead.

Looking at the office door that the lawyer just closed when he left.

perhaps……

Because he successfully deceived Ji Xinshui, Lin Xian thought he was a little "arrogant".

Ji Lin.

What a clever genius this is.

Even Officer Liu could half-guess his plan... let alone Ji Lin?

As smart as Ji Lin.

Probably when he saw that Zhou Duanyun's name was not on the police's public notice, he had already guessed his plan.

No wonder……

No wonder Zhou Duanyun was able to take the bait so quickly.

Now let’s see.

There was a high probability that Ji Lin deliberately lured him into the trap!
The bait that Ji Lin used to lure Zhou Duanyun was not only the evidence of Zhou Duanyun's crime that he had, but also the psychiatrist's consultation book about himself!
This is a plan that kills two birds with one stone...

It can help me lure Zhou Duanyun into the trap.

It can also remind yourself to take back the psychologist's consultation book.

"It seems that Ji Lin did it on purpose and fell into my trap on purpose."

Lin Xian felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Just now at the Public Security Bureau, he was wondering why this plan was going so smoothly and efficiently.

original……

Ji Lin was deliberately cooperating with him.

Ji Lin said that he owed himself a life, probably referring to the fact that he once planned to kill himself.

And what was returned to him... was his own life. He used this life to help him lure Zhou Duanyun out.

This is also a gamble for Ji Lin.

He certainly wasn't sure that Zhou Duanyun would definitely kill him, but there was such a possibility, so he made a will in advance just in case.

This is in line with Ji Lin's style.

He is always like this, planning everything in an orderly manner and taking every situation into consideration.

Perhaps, according to his original intention, he could hand Zhou Duanyun over to himself beautifully.

Unfortunately……

Although Ji Lin won the bet this time, his win was rather embarrassing. He drew a bad lot and was shot and killed by Zhou Duanyun.

"Hey……"

Lin Xian sighed inexplicably.

It’s not for Ji Lin.

Just feeling everything that has happened during this period of time.

Xu Yun's death, Tang Xin's death, the cat-and-mouse game, Zheng Chenghe's death, Ji Lin and Zhou Duanyun's death.

So many lives lost, so many lives saved, and finally all the blood that was shed gathered together...

However, it was just a dark red invitation...

Lin Xian touched the back of the note and found some writing on it.

He picked up the paper again.

Flip to the back.

In the lower left corner, there are three equally beautiful, yet poignant words:

【sorry】

……

……

……

呲!
Xindonghai City, at the city entrance checkpoint, next to the garbage truck.

Lin Xian raised his knife and skillfully cut the male inspector's throat to let the blood flow.

Now he is already very skilled.

Not only can it ensure that the knife is fatal, but it can also accurately control the direction of blood spraying from the wound, preventing a single drop of blood from dripping onto the inspector's uniform, ensuring that it is comfortable to put on and not sticky at all.

Today, in the office, Lin Xian was really sleepy.

He didn't even bother to go home.

I locked the office door, went to the lounge, and fell asleep.

Entering the dream, just like a robot following a script, he numbly found CC, joined the Face Gang, sneaked into the garbage dump through a human ladder, hid in a garbage truck, cracked the password door, and went to the checkpoint with CC, ambushing and assassinating the male and female prosecutors.

He couldn't even remember how he got here.

And just like that, we got here.

Even the slash of the knife on the male prosecutor's neck just now was done like a conditioned reflex.

Like a machine.

A machine without emotions.

puff.

When the blood stopped flowing, Lin Xian threw the male inspector's body on the ground and began to strip off his uniform.

At this moment, he noticed a different gaze.

Looked up.

He found CC standing there, motionless, looking at him.

"what happened?"

Lin Xian looked at her.

CC just stared at him quietly, her eyes seemed to be a little evasive, but in the end, she pursed her lips and said softly:

"In the grove behind Li Cheng's house this afternoon, you told me that you were not VV."

"Of course I'm not." Lin Xian answered casually: "Didn't you say that I couldn't be VV?"

"but……"

CC looked at Lin Xian:

"【You really look like VV now.】"

Ha ha.

Lin Xian couldn't help but laugh.

He threw away the dagger in his hand and turned to look at CC:

"I know what you want to say. You said before that VV is cold-blooded, ruthless, and cruel."

"So... you think I was cold-blooded when I killed someone just now, so you say I'm like VV—"

"No." CC shook his head and interrupted Lin Xian:
"It's not because of this, it's because of the expressions on your faces and the feeling they give you..."

"The same sadness..."

Lin Xian looked at CC in confusion.

He turned his head to look at the window of the garbage truck next to him. In the glass, his own reflection slowly turned around and looked at him.

That's a picture...

Familiar faces,

Strange face,

Sad face.
