The Wizard's Secret Journey

Chapter 99: A Total Crush Victory (11)

Vinson neighborhood, brownstone street.

Lin En and the other two looked at Kaili and Theodore who suddenly appeared in front of them, and slowly stopped.

"What a coincidence, Mr. Lin En, Ms. Leah." Kelly and Theodore greeted them.

Lin En had a calm expression, knowing in his heart that someone must have tipped off Kaili and the other man.

He took Leah and Ethan and deliberately avoided the crowded roads, and also took off the school badge.

It is not the time for Kaili and his companion to patrol, so how could it be such a coincidence that they met them here!

However, the enemy is in the light while we are in the dark.

Even if he encountered it, Lin En was not worried about anything. He responded with a faint smile.

"Good afternoon, Your Excellencies."

Kaili glanced carefully at Lynn's expression, and after a moment, his gaze moved to Ethan, who was wearing a hood next to him.

"Who is this……"

Before he finished speaking, Theodore next to him screamed:

"Are you Ethan Ross, Becker Ross's brother?"

Ethan's face showed obvious panic, and Leah pursed her lips.

Lin En looked calm, raised his eyebrows and asked:

"Do you two know Ethan?"

His expression was very natural, and Leah didn't show anything abnormal, which made Kaili and the others feel slightly relieved.

The two nodded and said seriously:

“Sir Lin En may not remember it, but the wizard apprentice who sold counterfeit goods that we dealt with two days ago was named Becker Ross.

"And the wizard apprentice next to you is Becker's younger brother, Ethan Ross."

“I see.” Lin En showed a look of realization and said to himself, “I didn’t know about this.”

"That's right, Master Lin, Master Leah, although we don't know what this wizard apprentice said to you, he must have deceived you!" Kaili emphasized in a deep voice.

Theodore next to him continued:
"Mr. Lin En, please hand Ethan over to us. He may have been involved in the last case. We need to take him back for investigation."

Ethan's face had turned pale. Listening to Kelly and Theodore's sanctimonious words, Leah felt only anger and nausea in her heart.

She looked at Lin En. The young man's expression was still calm. He looked at Kaili and the others calmly and said puzzledly:
“What does Ethan’s brother have to do with selling fake goods?
"I'm sorry, Master Kelly, Master Theodore, I have to go on patrol in a while. I have something else to talk to Ethan about, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, Lin En took Leah and the other person and walked forward without looking around.

Kaili and the other man subconsciously stood in front. Lin En frowned and said in a cold tone:
"What are you two doing?"

Leah next to her also took a step forward and stood beside Lin En with a hostile look on her face.

"I would like to ask Mr. Lin En what exactly you want to do by shielding a suspect!"

Kaili said in a deep voice, with a serious expression, as if they were the one on the side of justice.
"I told you, Ethan is still a suspect, we need to take him back to continue investigating!"

Leah was very angry and she wanted to refute Kaili, but she said nothing and just looked at Lin En.

Lin En snorted coldly and said:

"Even if Ethan is a suspect, according to the rules, we should continue the investigation. You two want to take away the credit with just a few words, which is too fantastic!

"Besides, Ethan may not be a suspect!"

Kaili's thoughts turned, and he felt a little relieved.

He exchanged a glance with Theodore beside him, and finally smiled again:

“Your Excellency is right, we are all members of the Public Security Department and we cannot clash over such a small matter.

"However, Mr. Lin En, can I know why you took Ethan away?"

"This is none of your business."

Lynn remained indifferent in his response and continued forward with Leah.

Kelly and Theodore stepped aside and watched Lin En and the other two leave.

After a long while, Theodore whispered:

"How much do you think they know?"

"I don't know, but from the boy's last words, it can be seen that they should have just noticed some clues."

"Some clues?"

“Probably because I learned from Ethan that his brother didn’t sell fake goods,” Kelly replied.

"Will they believe Ethan?"

"I don't know, but I'm afraid we have to prepare for the worst." Kaili's face was gloomy.
Even if they arrived in time, they would stop Lin En face to face.

But there is not much information available, and not much that can really be done.

After all, they wouldn't fight with Lynn and the other two just to snatch Ethan.

If you really do that, it will only confirm your suspicion.

They could only act as if it was a business matter and find excuses to get Lynn and the other man to hand Ethan over to them.

But now it seems that the young man doesn't buy it.

Kaili pondered for a moment, finally made a decision, and said:

“The members of the society will help us monitor them.

"If they want to get any evidence, we will know."

"Come on, Theodore, we have to go find Brother Sokol to discuss countermeasures!"

……

……

Lin En and the other two quickly left the Vincent neighborhood.

At a busy intersection, Ethan's eyes flickered and he suddenly disappeared!
Leah looked stunned, but Lynn next to her seemed to have expected this. He stretched out his arm like lightning and grabbed the invisible Ethan.

“What I said just now was just to confuse Kaili and Theodore, please don’t misunderstand.

"Liya and I both have our bottom line. We are not the kind of people who would wantonly hurt innocent people for our own desires."

After a moment, Ethan's figure reappeared. He looked uneasy and frightened. He looked at Lin En carefully and whispered:
"I hope you will keep your word."

Lin En didn't comment, and Leah next to her quickly figured everything out.

Just now, Lin En rejected Kelly and Theodore's request on the grounds that he did not want to share the credit.

I originally thought it was just an excuse to keep Ethan.

But now it seems that it can also confuse Kelly and Theodore. They thought that they and Lynn only discovered that it was a false case, but did not find out more.

"Kelly and Theodore would never have thought that we already knew they were from the Sokol Society, let alone that our real target was actually them."

Lynn also continued to explain.

This is indeed the case. Kelly and Theodore never thought that Lin En could know so much information.

"What should we do next?" Leah asked Lynn with a little admiration.

Kelly and Theodore had been cautious enough and hid deeply enough so that everyone was kept in the dark.

Even Becker's younger brother, Ethan, thought that this was just a conspiracy of the Sokol Society, and that the two security wizards, Kelly and Theodore, were just being used.

But Lin En had already seen through the conspiracy behind it and got to the essence of it!
“I need you to help me contact Lady Serena.

"As for me, I have to make some more preparations." Lin En replied after a moment's hesitation, then turned around and asked,

"Ethan, where did Becker put those photo crystals?"

"Brother Becker is always cautious. He usually puts these things in the property in the next block." Ethan replied.

Lynn nodded.

……

……

In the evening, at the North District Guard Office.

Kelly and Theodore were talking to Captain Wilson.

“…This is what happened, Sir Wilson, we need your help.

"If this matter is not handled properly, then the credit we earned in the past few days will turn into a fault."

After Kaili finished speaking, he pushed the wooden box in his hand towards Wilson.

Wilson frowned deeply and finally sighed:
"Remember to be more careful in the future. If this happens again, I won't help you."

Wilson stood up and sent the summoning order to Lynn and Leah through his security badge.

……

Ten minutes later.

North District Security Department, outside the office of the 11th Squad.

Lynn raised her hand and knocked on the door.

After a moment, the office door opened.

"Good evening, Mr. Lin En." Kaili opened the door for him with a smile on his face and said,
“Thanks to your reminder, Theodore and I went back and carefully investigated the incident of selling counterfeit goods.

"I discovered that this was actually a conspiracy by the three apprentices who reported me!"

As he spoke, he moved aside.

The scene in the office suddenly appeared in front of Lin En and the other two.

Ethan's pupils shrank slightly, Leah gasped, and Lynn also frowned slightly.

In the center of the room, three wizard apprentices were kneeling.

There were two men and one woman, all covered in blood and looking like they were dying.

"Don't panic, everyone. These are the three wizard apprentices who made the reckless report. They have been arrested by Theodore and I. We are just waiting for the next trial."

Kaili said with a smile, Theodore beside him sighed and said apologetically to Ethan beside Lin En:

“I’m sorry about your brother, but we were also deceived, and now the real murderer is right in front of us.

"I promise you, Ethan, they will pay the price they deserve!"

Leia, who already knew the truth, looked at the three wizard apprentices who were only breathing their last breath, and suddenly a chill rose in her heart.

She understood the current situation.

Kaili and his team believed that they had most likely discovered that the fake goods sales incident was a false case.

So in order to avoid being implicated further, he took the initiative to detonate the matter.

“Just because there was a possibility, he would attack his former comrade without hesitation…”

Leah had never thought that there were such sinister people in the world. She felt as if she was falling into an ice cellar until she saw Lin En in front of her, and then she finally felt relieved.

"If it weren't for Lin En, Kaili and the others' plan would have succeeded again. "But unfortunately, Mr. Lin En already knew the truth of the matter." Leah thought to herself.

But at the same time, she suddenly felt a little worried.

If it weren't for Mr. Lin En's caution and wisdom...what would I do if I faced such a thing?
Wilson came over at this time and said with a smile:

"Well done, Lin En and Leah. I will report this to the higher-ups in the Public Security Department later. You have done a great job!
"Otherwise, Becker's injustice will probably never be redressed, and these vicious apprentices will still be at large!"

Wilson paused here, and finally revealed his true intention:

"However, this matter will have a bad impact after all. If I report it directly, Kaili and Theodore will inevitably be punished, and I will also be in trouble."

Lin En raised his eyebrows slightly and sneered in his heart.

Wilson emphasized again: "I don't mean not to report it, but I just mean that we may modify some of the wording."

He looked at Ethan again and said:
“No matter what, Kelly and Theodore killed your brother by mistake, and I know it’s hard to forgive them.

“But I hope you can understand that these two people didn’t really mean it that way, they were just deceived by the bad guys.

"If you are willing to write a letter of understanding, the two of them are willing to meet some of your requests within their capabilities, whether it is magic stones or something else."

Wilson's meaning was very clear. He wanted them to speak with one voice, downplay the faults of Kelly and Theodore, and at the same time emphasize the two's timely compensation actions.

This will allow the two to receive less punishment.

It is obvious that Wilson may have accepted benefits from Kelly and the other man again.

Kelly and Theodore probably felt that their proactive action of detonating this incident ahead of time had resolved all the hidden dangers.

They believe that no one will doubt anymore that they were the ones who caused this unjust, false and wrongful conviction.

No one could know their connection with the Sokol Society.

So now we are trying to minimize the losses as much as possible.

"Mr. Wilson, you just said that you would report our achievements to the higher-ups in the Public Security Department.

"I want to know how many school contribution points I can get for this contribution?"

Lin En was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked.

Wilson pondered for a moment and said:

“If I report the current situation, you have only inspired Kaili and Theodore, and I’m afraid the contribution points you can get will not be many.

"I estimate... no more than 20 points."

"But what if Kelly and Theodore were the first to discover something was wrong and then asked you for support.

"Finally, the four of you successfully subdued and captured the three apprentices."

"Then the contribution points you can get will be increased by at least half. At the same time, Theodore and Kaili will receive less punishment because they discovered this matter completely on their own initiative."

It was only after someone else reminded me that I discovered the mistake, and I had felt something was wrong from the beginning, so I took the initiative to investigate and corrected the mistake.

The two may seem similar, but they give completely different feelings.

"That's right, Mr. Lin En, this is a win-win result for us." Kaili agreed.

"Of course, Theodore and I are willing to pay you two due compensation for your help."

"It sounds really good." Lynn smiled and suddenly looked at Wilson and said bluntly,
“I guess, Master Kaili and Master Theodore, must not have told you that they are from the Sokol Society.

"You must not know that the three apprentices who reported it are actually members of the Sokol Society."

As soon as Lin En finished speaking, the whole office fell silent.

Wilson frowned and turned to look at Kelly and the other man.

The two wizards had a hint of panic in their eyes, but they remained calm overall. They frowned and said in confusion:

"Sokol Society, I have never heard of this gang, Mr. Lin En, what are you talking about?"

Kaili and the other man had never expected that Lin En would know about their connection with the Sokol Society.

At this moment, a lot of thoughts flashed through the minds of both of them, but no matter how they thought, they couldn't figure out where Lin En knew this!
Kaili suppressed his panic, turned to look at Wilson, and motioned for him to say something.

Wilson had already noticed that something was wrong. His mind flashed quickly. Thinking of the deal between him and Kaili, he panicked and subconsciously said in a deep voice:

"Lynn..."

"Mr. Wilson." Lynn interrupted him.

"Taking a bribe is just a small matter. This matter has little to do with you. It is not a wise choice to rashly get involved."

Perhaps it was because Lynn's tone was too condescending, Wilson felt angry.

But just when he wanted to continue speaking, he heard Lin En say to Leah:
"Please come in, Senior Serena."

Leah nodded, and before she reached the door, she saw Serena, wearing the badge of deputy sheriff, striding in.

"Okay, Lin En, why waste time talking to them? Show us your evidence."

Upon hearing this, Kaili's expression changed slightly and he turned to look at Theodore.

The latter also looked puzzled.

Their people kept an eye on Lin En and the other two throughout the afternoon, but did not receive any unusual information.

The three people stayed in Lynn's house and did not go out.

Logically speaking, there should be no time to look for the so-called evidence.

...Could it be that it was obtained from Ethan?

Lynn nodded and took out the photo crystal from Becker.

After discovering that he might be watched in secret, he would not go out openly again.

This crystal was obtained by asking Adeline.

The crystal image begins playing.

Several members of the Solko Society are blackmailing Becker in the picture. In the middle, Kelly and Theodore walk past the store.

Becker took the initiative to greet the two people, and one could hear a message for help in his words.

But Kelly and Theodore just left calmly.

The images captured by the crystal were quickly played out. Looking at these ambiguous images, hope rose in the hearts of Kaili and Theodore.

"Mr. Lin En, just based on these few pictures, you say that we are from the Sokol Society. Isn't that a bit too much of a joke?" Kaili said in a deep voice, with grievance and anger on his face.

"That's right, we just didn't hear the hint in Becker's words." Theodore also echoed.

Lin En glanced at the two of them and said nothing. He just took out another photo crystal, his photo crystal.

He dared to bring Leah and Ethan here, so he must have made all the preparations!
With a faint buzzing sound, the new image crystal began to play the picture.

The protagonists are Kelly and Theodore in disguise.

Opposite the two of them was a middle-aged first-class wizard apprentice, who was Sokol.

"impossible!"

"This is fake!"

Kelly and Theodore's faces suddenly turned pale and their pupils shrank as small as needles.

This scene was exactly what happened when they went to discuss with Sokol this afternoon!
Judging from the perspective of the picture, the person recording was right between the three of them at the time...

However, they had clearly checked the surroundings at that time and there was nothing there!
For a moment, Kelly and Theodore felt an inexplicable fear of Lynn.

They had no idea how this young-looking boy in front of them could have accomplished all this.

They've obviously done a good job...

From joining the Public Security Bureau in the beginning to decisively giving up those members now... they acted very cautiously and have almost kept it a secret from everyone!

But now looking back, he suddenly realized that in the eyes of this young man in front of him, they had no secrets at all!

Kelly and Theodore fell silent.

The scene became extremely quiet. Wilson, who was standing next to her, looked pale. He walked over to Serena and whispered:

"Senior Serena, I swear I didn't know they dared to do such a thing. I was just not sober for a moment, so I accepted a little bribe."

Wilson said this and even wanted to attack Kaili and the other man to show his attitude.

Serena stopped it and said calmly:
“You three will be judged later.

"I advise you not to resist, lest you kill your only hope of survival."

Wilson nodded repeatedly, while Kelly and Theodore behind him kept changing their expressions, but finally they surrendered dejectedly.

This is the North District Security Bureau headquarters. Resistance is meaningless.

"Lynn, Leah, you two really did a great job this time!" Serena said with a smile.

Her words were not exaggerated in the slightest.

Wizard gangs will be the focus of future Public Security Department management, so the Sokol gang can be used as an example.

At the same time, this was also the first case of internal corruption in the Public Security Department.

The wizard above also intends to use this as a typical example, impose severe punishment and reward generously, so as to make an example of others.

Just like the thorny blood tree in the central square.

……

The incident ended here.

Because of their heinous nature, Kelly and Theodore were directly sentenced to death.

The Sokol Society behind them was also completely destroyed, and the first-class wizard apprentice named Sokol was also executed by the school.

This killing spree not only intimidated the remaining gangs in Cuilin City, but also made the wizards who came to Cuilin City to do business more trustful of the Horsens School.

As for Wilson, although the fault he committed was not serious, he was punished more severely because it was the first case.

Not only were a large number of magic stones and contribution points confiscated, but he was also deprived of the qualification to become a Silverthorn apprentice by the school.

Now he has been transferred from the Public Security Department and has become a Bronze Thorn apprentice who handles miscellaneous matters for the school.

And two more days passed.

Lynn and Leah’s rewards were finally distributed.

Despite Serena's prior warning.

But the generosity of this reward far exceeded Lin En's imagination.

The contribution points alone are as many as 500!
200 points came from Wilson's bribery, and 300 points came from the Sokol association incident.

In addition, each person will receive 500 primary magic stones, and the magic energy supply they enjoy will be increased by a small level in the next two years!

'I don't know if the bonus of increased mana supply will also take effect after becoming a Goldenthorn apprentice.'

Lynn looked at his reward and felt delighted.

'There are still three weeks left until the deadline... Next, it's time to exchange the promotion course with Teacher Chris.

'First-class wizard apprentice...'

Lin En breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of the generous treatment of the Golden Thorn apprentices and the Silver Ring Academy described by Lucas, he was filled with anticipation!
