Chapter 4193: Obvious Clues

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

The two women were just like Lin Yi at the beginning.

When they reached this stage of thinking, they all got goosebumps.

They couldn’t speak for a long time.

"We can consider the Dwarf Clan and Giant Clan as observers trying to intrude and occupy the abandoned area, but due to the unobservable property, they all failed."

Lin Yi said:

"Because of the unobservable property, their chance of a successful invasion is zero, although they don’t think so."

"No, there’s another problem here!"

Xiao Bing first reacted.

"The abandoned area is the gathering place of the Nakxi Clan. If it really is an unobservable state, how does the Nakxi Clan survive in there?"

"Think broader. I’ve said before, ’Heaven and earth are unkind to all creatures’."

Lin Yi smiled and said:

"Think about it, in the core area of Ailao Mountain, various creatures live. In nature, humans and animals are alike. The Nakxi Clan living in the core area is akin to insects living in the core area of Ailao Mountain."

The two listened with mouths agape, rubbing their arms continuously.

"If you look at it this way, I feel like it matches our traditional mythology." Xiao Bing said:

"There is an unconscious deity living in the core area, and the creatures like snakes and insects around it are equivalent to heavenly soldiers and generals. The situation on the island is the same, the Nakxi Clan is their heavenly soldiers and generals."

"If such a speculation holds, then the three major race wars on the island may not simply be racial wars, but rather the Nakxi Clan, under that kind of unconscious manipulation, waging war against the other two clans," Luo Qi said:

"And their ability to fight one against two and still win may also be caused by that ideology. In the future, whether it’s the Dwarf Clan or the Giant Clan, no matter how many times they attack, and no matter what point their technology tree reaches, their failure is destined."

Lin Yi nodded, "According to our investigation and analysis, the wars taking place in the abandoned area have occurred more than once, possibly lasting hundreds of years, but none were successful, so this aligns with our analysis."

"Lin Bro, this is terrifying, I’m a bit scared to think about that place." Luo Qi frowned. "If everything is true, wouldn’t going there be suicide for us?"

Lin Yi smiled, "This is just our speculation. What it’s really like will have to wait for the investigation results. Stay calm. I wouldn’t let you go unless I was absolutely sure."

"Come on, have a drink to calm the nerves. At our level, there’s no turning back." Xiao Bing resignedly raised her glass.

The three drank their wine in one go, Xiao Bing said:

"Lin Bro, I heard you’ve opened an apartment here and become a landlord?"

Lin Yi nodded, "Then we won’t go anywhere else tonight, we’ll stay here."

"I only have one bed there; I’ll arrange for you at the apartment’s hotel."

"No need for such trouble, we can just sleep together."

"Alright then."

Ring Ring Ring —

At this moment, Lin Jiang’s phone rang; it was a call from Cao Xiaohui.

"Director Lin, I was on a business trip today and just got back." Cao Xiaohui said:

"People below said the camera facing 5015 broke, the footage from that night wasn’t recorded, but it’s fixed now."

"Only the footage from that night wasn’t recorded, right?"

"Yes, we repaired it the next day."

"Alright, I got it."

After hanging up, Lin Yi was watched by the two women.

"Lin Bro, what’s up?" Luo Qi asked.

"There was a murder at our apartment."

In the following minutes, Lin Yi explained what happened to the two women.

"This was clearly a premeditated murder, with very thorough preparation."

"I still don’t understand how they got in and out."

"If they used the method of moving a mattress to get into the room, they must have left through the door, otherwise, they would have entered and exited by other means."

"I realized this later, but how they left is still a problem."

"Let’s go together and check it out, collective power is strong."

"Okay."

After finishing their meal, the three left.

Lin Yi took the two to the apartment, but they went to 5015.

"This smell..." The two said while covering their noses.

"Hasn’t completely dispersed yet." Lin Yi said:

"The important evidence has been taken away, not much left behind."

"Lin Bro, do you have the basic information? I can help check tomorrow." Xiao Bing said.

"I’ll give it to you tomorrow."

"Lin Bro!"

Luo Qi, standing by the window, looked at Lin Yi incredulously.

"You said you couldn’t figure out how they left?"

Lin Yi nodded.

"They walked on the air conditioning unit!"

"Hmm?"

The three went to the window, looking at the wall between the two rooms where the air conditioning unit was mounted, but it was quite far, making it difficult to operate.

Even Lin Yi felt he wasn’t up to the task.

"Are you sure it’s possible? Theoretically, yes, but practically, it’s very difficult, nearly impossible."

"Lin Bro, you’re a bit out of touch with the populace." Luo Qi teased with a smile.

"Those guys who install air conditioners are more capable than we imagined, it’s simply not a problem for them."

"It doesn’t seem too difficult." Xiao Bing said:

"My aunt lives on the 24th floor, and when they installed the air conditioner, the situation was worse than this. Those installers didn’t even use safety ropes and they just got the air conditioner installed in no time."

Lin Yi thought about it; he really never had such experiences.

He used to rent houses, and once he had money, he lived in villas, so he really didn’t have such experiences.

"According to what you say, the killer might have used the air conditioner unit to get to 5015, killed someone, and left the same way."

"It’s a very big possibility." Luo Qi said:

"Now we just need to check the surveillance and see which of the two adjacent rooms had someone entering or leaving, then we can largely infer who the culprit is."

"Let’s go back and check it out."

The three returned to 809, Xiao Bing was responsible for retrieving the surveillance, and indeed, at 5017, they saw three people coming out of the room before and after the incident.

"Look, these three people seem a bit off, but this murder must have been precisely planned, now we need to catch them and ask their motive for the murder."

"According to Lin Bro’s description, it satisfies the elements of a revenge killing, as Qi Qi said, the specific motive will have to wait until we catch the people."

"Alright, let’s talk about this tomorrow; it’s late now, let’s get some rest."

"Lin Bro, you lay between us, let’s sleep together."
