Chapter 120: Diverting trouble to the east
Captain Yan!
Li Lin didn't have much impression of this person.

He and the county magistrate are similar types. They have their own small circle, rarely interact with outsiders, and are equally low-key.

This type of person also does things when there is something to do and stays at home when there is nothing to do.

Li Lin raised his eyebrows and smiled.

This is what he was waiting for.

Crumpl up the paper and immediately go into stealth mode.

He jumped onto the wall and looked around, but didn't see anyone special, but he didn't go looking for the so-called Captain Yan.

Instead, he went straight to the county magistrate's house.

He climbed over the wall and entered the county magistrate's house, then he saw two yellow dogs lying not far ahead.

As if they heard some sound, the two yellow dogs looked towards Li Lin.

Li Lin thought to himself that he was unlucky, because dogs have a very sensitive sense of smell. Even if they can't "see" people, they can still smell the scent of people.

Just like before, even someone like Eunuch Qi could smell the blood on him, let alone a dog's nose.

But unexpectedly, the two yellow dogs just glanced over here and didn't react at all. They just lay there and looked in the direction of the gate with their tongues sticking out.

Li Lin was stunned for a moment, then he understood what the new ability of stealth was.

Eliminate your own odor.

This is a good ability.

He then slowly bent over and walked towards the backyard. The two dogs looked in his direction from time to time, but because they could not see anyone or smell anything, they did not react.

When Li Lin arrived at the third door of the three-entry system, he climbed onto the roof and came to the room where the "light" was still on. He gently lifted the tiles and looked down.

He saw the county magistrate chatting with a man.

Because I can only see the head, I don’t know who this person is.

"What's the matter?" asked the county magistrate.

"I've already thrown a stone at Li Lin's house. It says Captain Yan on it. He should investigate."

"Although we may not be able to completely guide Li Lin to investigate Captain Yan, it can at least buy us some time." The county magistrate said this and snorted, "You must quietly move all those women away tomorrow."

"it is good."

"And that guy called He Shangjin... did you kill him?"

"I let a whore ghost suck his essence. He should have died tonight, and ordinary people wouldn't be able to find out." The man said angrily, "But for some reason, that bastard Li Lin actually went to see him, bought him ginseng beard, and forcibly woke him up."

Li Lin felt that the man's voice was a little familiar.

Then he remembered.

Yu Tong!

If the person who ran errands to buy ginseng beards hadn't mentioned the matter of ginseng beards, Li Lin wouldn't have remembered him.

"Then forget about He Shangjin for now. Li Lin should send someone to protect him."

Yu Tong nodded.

The county magistrate said, "As long as we don't give Huang Yan any evidence, we can get away with this. I originally thought... that after I retire and he is promoted to the prefect of Jincheng, I would plot against him, but Li Lin discovered it in advance."

"County Magistrate, do you think Li Lin will tell Huang Yan about this?"

"Of course he will." The county magistrate sighed, "He's almost the Huang family's son-in-law, how could he not discuss it with his father-in-law? It's a pity that my family doesn't have a granddaughter, otherwise how could Huang Yan snatch a talented person back home?"

Yu Tong bowed and said, "Then I'll go do my work first."

"Okay, be careful and don't show your true colors to others."

"clear."

Yu Tong left the county magistrate's room.

Li Lin waited for a while, put the tiles back to their original place, and then followed Yu Tong.

Then we saw Yu Tong taking many detours and finally arriving at Xingzhuang.

At this moment, Li Lin felt a gloomy aura surrounding him.

He squatted on top, motionless.

Yu Tong suddenly said, "Come out, I know you are following me."

Li Lin didn't move.

The other party looked around with a puzzled look.

Then Yu Tong blew a whistle softly, and a female ghost appeared beside him.

[Ghost Raising Skill +1]

Li Lin couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This world is truly full of hidden talents. An insignificant yamen runner could actually raise ghosts. Then Li Lin discovered that the female ghost was the one he had seen last night. The ugly ghost could move freely and had no resentment.

Yu Tong stood in place, and the female ghost floated up and looked around. It passed by Li Lin several times but did not see the latter.

Finally, it descended again and penetrated into Yu Tong's body.

Yu Tong shuddered and muttered softly, "Is this an illusion?"

Then he continued walking forward and came to a low room.

Li Lin used the light body technique to land on the roof and then opened the tiles.

Yu Tong is not in this house.

Only one man walked to the bed and lay down to sleep again.

There is a secret passage.

Li Lin did not continue to pursue, but returned home.

The next day, he arrived at the county government office and saw Yu Tong and others waiting outside the courtyard. He asked, "Has anyone seen Captain Yan come to work?"

"In the torture chamber." someone answered.

Li Lin thought for a moment and asked, "Is there anyone who knows Captain Yan and could introduce him to me?"

Li Lin and Captain Yan were just nodding acquaintances and had hardly ever spoken to each other.

Yu Tong stepped forward and said with a flattering smile, "I have a say with Captain Yan."

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you."

"No trouble, no trouble."

Li Lincong brought Yu Tong to the torture room.

At this time, Captain Yan was interrogating a man through the iron fence.

Seeing Li Lin coming over, he looked a little surprised and said with a fist: "County Lieutenant, may I ask what your instructions are?"

Li Lin waved his hand. "I heard that Captain Yan has a wide circle of friends. Is that true?"

"No, I've never been out of the county." Captain Yan asked curiously, "Who told the county lieutenant about this?"

"I don't remember either, but I seem to have heard someone say that." Li Lin asked again, "Do you like money?"

Captain Yan's expression became even more strange: "Who wouldn't like it? What does the County Lieutenant mean by this?"

His expression was a little uneasy.

Li Lin said with an unnatural smile: "It's okay, it's okay, I just asked."

Then he left.

This made Inspector Yan look confused and even a little uneasy.

Because he also heard that Li Lin was investigating something recently.

Li Lin actually felt a little guilty in his heart. In order to stabilize Yu Tong and the county magistrate, he had to make things difficult for Captain Yan.

Back in the barracks, Li Lin reassigned patrol tasks.

He brought ten yamen runners and went to He Shangjin's house again.

Zhao Hao climbed down from the roof and said, "I stayed there all night, but I didn't find anything."

"Thank you very much. You can go and rest first." Li Lin clasped his fists and said, "I'll treat you to a drink in the evening."

"Haha, then I'll be waiting for you."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Hao left yawning.

Li Lin entered the house.

When He Shangjin saw Li Lin, he quickly got out of bed, clasped his fists and said, "County Lieutenant."

"Well, you look much better. Come back to work in two days."

"Thank you, County Lieutenant."

Yu Tong was standing next to him, smiling naturally.

Li Lin took ten yamen runners and patrolled the market twice before letting them go.
