Genius Club Chapter 266

Chapter 266: Chapter 77 Falling Towards VV Chapter 266: Chapter 77 Falling Towards VV “` In the control room of Donghai City Public Security Bureau, Lin Xian sat at the desk and turned the psychologist’s notepad to the next page. He did not look too carefully, nor did he care much about what was written inside. Now, whatever was written inside did not matter anymore. Actually, there was not much important stuff written within. When he accompanied Gao Yang to see the psychologist, he had been well-prepared and had hardly disclosed anything about the contents of his dreams, not mentioning anything about the Genius Club or the future world. Moreover, now that Zhou Duanyun and Ji Lin were both dead, all the members of the Seven Sins, except for the Hollywood actress Angelica, were dead. This notebook had returned to his hands, and there was nothing to worry about. All the matters had been resolved. All of his enemies had died. The plan had been executed perfectly. So why did he feel a sense of loss at this moment, feeling unhappy? Lin Xian could not understand. Officer Liu walked in as the door to the control room was pushed open, looking at Lin Xian: “Lin Xian, everything has been cleared up. Zhou Duanyun had actually returned to the country a long time ago. But he was very cunning and didn’t use his own identity information…He had several sets of complete identification documents on him, and this time he came back using a set of documents under the alias Chen Le, which is why his entry information was not found.” Lin Xian, your plan was really brilliant.” Officer Liu clicked his tongue in amazement: “At first, I didn’t understand why you asked us to remove Zhou Duanyun’s criminal information from the announcement. Now it’s completely clear to me—” “[You deliberately stirred up conflict between the two of them, using Ji Lin to lure Zhou Duanyun out!]” “Now, besides those two, Ji Xinshui has already been sentenced to death, other criminal members are all dead, and Ji Lin and Zhou Duanyun are the only two who were acquitted without their past crimes investigated.” “But both of them know very well that they have evidence of each other’s crimes and can report this information to the police at any time. Whether it’s Ji Lin reporting Zhou Duanyun or Zhou Duanyun reporting Ji Lin… Originally they were on the same side, but now they each hold the other’s weakness.” “And Zhou Duanyun’s situation is clearly a bit more disadvantageous. His mother is in the country, and after Ji Lin is acquitted, it’s hard to guarantee that he won’t use some means against his mother… or maybe Ji Lin has some secret on Zhou Duanyun that compelled him to kill him. In any case, Ji Lin as bait really hooked Zhou Duanyun.” Ji Lin’s investigation and counter-investigation capabilities are very strong, so to avoid letting him notice our plan, we indeed did not assign anyone to follow him closely, maintaining a large distance for caution. That’s also why we only mobilized from afar after the death alert of the electronic anklet went off, but that was necessary… Another piece of good news, from Zhou Duanyun’s phone, we did find a lot of criminal evidence, not only his but also related to Ji Lin.” After speaking, Officer Liu gave Lin Xian a thumbs-up: “Lin Xian, you really are a genius!” Lin Xian closed the notebook on the desk without saying a word. The words spoken by Officer Liu… Only got part of it right but not the whole picture. The police thought that he had purposely let Ji Lin go just to draw out Zhou Duanyun. But it wasn’t like that. In Lin Xian’s original plan, Zhou Duanyun, Ji Xinshui, and Ji Lin—all three—had to pay the price of murder for their crimes. That day, in Ji Lin’s interrogation room. Without any evidence to prove Ji Lin’s participation in the murders… Lin Xian asked him twice: “The matter of killing Xu Yun and Tang Xin, did you participate in it or not?” Lin Xian only asked about Xu Yun and Tang Xin, without mentioning Academician Lyon, Dr. Pang Simai, and even… he didn’t ask about their plan to kill himself. If Ji Lin had still insisted he didn’t the second time. Perhaps Lin Xian would have hesitated about whether to continue with the cruel plan. But there weren’t so many ifs. Facing Lin Xian’s second inquiry, Ji Lin fell silent. Silence was affirmation. Ji Lin confirmed, with his silence, that he was involved in the murder of Xu Yun and Tang Xin. There was no need to consider anything else. The positions of the two of them were destined not to be on the same side. One lurked in the dark, the other stood in the light. Lin Xian could never sympathize with or forgive a murderer. That would be unfair to the victims. Even if it was Ji Lin. Lin Xian truly, for a moment, for an instant, had hoped that Ji Lin really hadn’t participated in those two murders. Even if that instant vanished in a flash. The deaths of Ji Lin and Zhou Duanyun, although somewhat unexpected to Lin Xian, were largely within the plan. It was just a matter of who died first, who died later, whether they were killed by each other or sentenced to death by the law. The only thing Lin Xian couldn’t understand was… [The plan went too smoothly, accomplished too quickly.] He didn’t know why both Ji Lin and Zhou Duanyun were so eager to resolve this matter. And seemingly with a purpose, they gathered at the psychologist’s villa. What exactly happened? Presumably, that would never be clear. Without any corroborating testimony, both people would now remain silent forever.
