Chapter 101 Making a feint to the east and attacking in the west
Lin Zhiqing subconsciously held his breath.

Lin Yangyang stepped back, and the two of them disappeared under the eaves.

At the same time, a figure leaped over their heads and chased in the direction of the two yamen runners.

He had a nimble figure, was over eight feet tall, and was quite skilled at climbing walls and climbing rooftops. He kept turning his head around, and it was obvious that he was observing the environment.

It was not until the person had left for a while that Lin Yangyang let go of her hand.

Lin Zhiqing didn't relax yet, just breathed in the fresh air gently.

"This man's martial arts skills are inferior to mine, but his Qinggong skills are excellent. I think he must have been specially trained, but he doesn't look like a spy."

"He's agile, leaving no trace when he moves, and he smells like death." Lin Yangyang fanned his nose in disdain and quickly defined him as a "death warrior."

"Death squad?" Lin Zhiqing frowned slightly.

Lin Yangyang nodded: "There are quite a few families in Shengjing City that raise assassins, but no one dares to say it openly."

"This thing is a waste of money and labor, and only those big families would cultivate it. Now it seems that the Ministry of Justice is really busy."

Lin Zhiqing felt a little uneasy: "Cousin, you just said that his martial arts skills can't match yours. How sure are you?"

Lin Yangyang pinched her chin. Although she didn't know why Lin Zhiqing suddenly asked this, she still thought about it seriously: "80% sure."

After getting a definite answer, Lin Zhiqing nodded: "Cousin, do you know where the Ministry of Justice prison is?"

When Lin Zhiqing met his fourth uncle before, Lin Yangyang did not come with him, so he asked this question.

Lin Yangyang nodded and pointed in a general direction.

Lin Zhiqing said decisively: "Cousin, I can go to the morgue by myself. You should go to the prison of the Ministry of Justice now."

"After entering the prison, walk about 1,800 steps and then turn right. Fourth Uncle is in the third cell."

"You must find a way to sneak into the prison and protect your fourth uncle!" Lin Zhiqing said with a serious expression.

Lin Yangyang didn't understand the situation for a moment: "Aren't we here to look for a body? Why is Fourth Uncle involved again?"

"Cousin, the assassin just now had an unknown origin. It's better to be safe than sorry. I'm afraid someone can't hold back and wants to attack Fourth Uncle." This matched Lin Zhiqing's previous concerns.

If someone attacks Fourth Uncle and then creates the illusion that he committed suicide out of fear of punishment, there will be no evidence to prove the crime and the Lin family will have no chance of recovery.

Although only one assassin appeared and might be targeting other people, Lin Zhiqing did not want to miss any possibility.

Fortunately, Lin Yangyang is an obedient person. She may not know why Lin Zhiqing asked her to do this, but she will definitely obey the arrangement.

"Okay, I got it. Be careful when you are alone." Lin Yangyang nodded heavily, without any hesitation and worrying about Lin Zhiqing.

She pointed in a direction for Lin Zhiqing: "Go over there. Do you see that pointed roof? That's where the mortuary guards are. The mortuary is next to it."

After seeing Lin Zhiqing nod, she pulled out an exquisite jade whistle from somewhere and said, "This is a gift from your father when I was a child. It makes a very loud sound when you blow it. If you need anything, just blow the whistle. I will come as soon as possible."

Lin Zhiqing took the whistle without hesitation. She had no martial arts skills, so she really wanted to keep the thing just in case.

Lin Yangyang took out some small mechanical props and gave them to Lin Zhiqing, then flew onto the roof and rushed towards the Ministry of Justice prison.

Lin Zhiqing put the things away and looked around more carefully.

After making sure there was no one around, she moved along the wall towards the morgue.

The structure of the Ministry of Justice was not complicated. All Lin Zhiqing had to do was avoid the jailers patrolling everywhere.

According to what the two jailers said earlier, the frequency of their patrols should have increased recently.

This caused the guards to yawn constantly while patrolling, making them less rigorous, which in turn created an opportunity for Lin Zhiqing. Without Lin Yangyang by his side, Lin Zhiqing didn't dare risk his life, so he could only concentrate, slow down, and advance slowly.

After half an hour, she finally approached the guard concentration area next to the morgue.

She didn't dare to approach rashly, so she could only crouch down and observe from a distance.

From the outside, the morgue looked very large, as big as three of Lin Zhiqing's courtyards.

There was a white cloth hanging on the beams, and two jailers were standing at the gate.

It didn't look like there were many people, but the room next to the morgue seemed to have been deliberately raised. Four people were standing on it, just enough to bring the entire morgue into view.

Lin Zhiqing pursed her lips. It was really difficult for her to hide from the sight of so many people.

Time passed by minute by minute, but she still couldn't think of a safer method.

The building was so tall that Lin Zhiqing couldn't even find the blind spot where those people were looking.

Making a feint to the east and attacking in the west? Lin Zhiqing slowly squatted down and took out the stone he had just picked up on the road. He wanted to throw it out to attract the attention of the guards, but he felt that this method had some loopholes.

A piece of stone not only attracts few people, but also makes very little noise. At most, others will just glance at it and move on.

She also couldn't get close to the morgue in those few seconds.

Is there any way to get people from tall buildings to come down?

Lin Zhiqing touched his chin, and his eyes lit up immediately when he met the large water tank in the corner.

She carefully walked along the wall to the window of the house behind her. After confirming that there was no movement inside, she poked a small hole in the window with her finger.

The room was pitch black, without any light at all.

Lin Zhiqing looked around in the moonlight, but did not find what he wanted in the room.

She groped her way back along the path she had just taken, returned to the place where she had just separated from Lin Yangyang, and then followed her memory to find the room of the two jailers at the beginning.

She listened carefully and made sure that there was no one in the room before she gently pushed the door open.

After slipping into the room, Lin Zhiqing moved his nose and caught the smell of lamp oil in the air.

By the moonlight, she found the place where the oil lamp was placed and began to search gently on the cabinet.

After moving the debris away, Lin Zhiqing saw a few candles.

After thinking for a while, she took two candles, and then, her hard work paid off, she found what she wanted at the corner of the table.

With the experience of the previous two times, the time she spent rushing to the morgue was almost cut in half.

After finding an empty room, Lin Zhiqing took the lead in observing it.

After seeing that there were tables, chairs and benches with broken parts inside, she took out the tinder she had just found, lit a candle, and then placed the candle under the pile of tables and chairs.

Only after seeing the candle explode into a few sparks did Lin Zhiqing sneak out of the house.

As her figure got farther and farther away, the room became brighter and brighter.

Lin Zhiqing squatted for a while at the base of the wall of the room opposite the morgue.

Soon, she heard a high-pitched scream.

"Someone come, there's a fire!"
