Genius Club-Chapter 260 - 74 Welcoming the Grand Death_2

So next...

there are only [two problems] left.

Lin Xian looked at the white paper in front of him with the names of the Seven Sins written on it, looking at the name Ji Lin.

Ji Lin...

To this day, there is still no evidence proving his involvement in any crime.

He is extremely smart and hasn’t left a single slip-up.

Even the trap that I personally set by getting involved ended up being retracted due to a series of lucky coincidences.

Moreover, on Ji Xinshui’s side, because of the evidence he provided, which was enough to sentence him to death, he insists that Ji Lin and Angelica are innocent.

This leads to...

In a few hours, the 24-hour detention period for Ji Lin will expire; without any evidence of his guilt or involvement in the murder, the police must release him.

This is something Lin Xian also has no clues about.

Is Ji Lin really innocent?

I personally believe it’s absolutely impossible.

But can I find any evidence?

For instance, evidence of his involvement in Xu Yun’s murder, in Tang Xin’s murder, cannot be found either.

All are based on my subjective judgment and conjecture.

This is the first problem, and then there’s the second one.

Lin Xian picked up a red pen and circled Zhou Duanyun’s name with a red circle behind the word Jealousy.

"Zhou Duanyun."

Lin Xian silently recited the name of his former classmate.

Unlike Ji Lin,

The criminal facts about Zhou Duanyun are nailed down. Not only did Ji Xinshui spill everything, but I also witnessed him participating in Tang Xin’s murder. This enmity must be settled.

And moreover,

If I let Zhou Duanyun roam free, it poses a huge threat to my own safety.

Soon, I will bring Liu Feng to Donghai and push my overall plan to the next step, getting closer to the Cosmic Constant, the Genius Club.

At this moment, having Zhou Duanyun, such an unpredictable risk out there, Lin Xian truly isn’t at ease.

To cut the grass, you must remove the roots.

Otherwise, endless troubles will ensue.

Only by capturing all the people of the Seven Sins can I ensure absolute safety and peace of mind in expanding my own power.

Of course, I also need to consider the affairs of the Genius Club.

But Huang Que himself is from the Genius Club, and so far, Lin Xian feels that he has not had any significant intersections or frictions with the Genius Club. There might be some reasons he’s not aware of yet... However, these things will need to be pondered later.

Right now,

I must find a way to deal with Ji Lin and Zhou Duanyun, these two major problems.

Lin Xian took off the headphones from his head.

He looked at Ji Lin sitting calmly in the interrogation room on the surveillance screen and watched the time caption ticking above.

May 4th, night at 22:30

There are only 3 hours left until Ji Lin is released as innocent.

I must think of a way.

Lin Xian closed his eyes... and once again started to think deeply.

He found,

Ji Lin is much more difficult to deal with than Ji Xinshui.

Plainly speaking, the reason Ji Xinshui fell for my plan is primarily due to his never-ending desires.

Arrogance.

In the Celestial Doctrine, Arrogance is, after all, the chief among the Seven Sins.

The facts have proven,

Ji Xinshui is indeed arrogant.

Today’s invitation, if it were used to deceive Ji Lin, would definitely not work. Ji Lin’s rationality would never allow him to make such a mistake.

Even if it were used to deceive someone like Zhou Duanyun, it would still fail, because Zhou Duanyun’s desires are clearly grounded in reality—more money, fame, status, respect, and the like...

Only those at Ji Xinshui’s level and height would be so obsessively fixated on the Genius Club.

Because the real world can no longer satisfy their inflated desires. Only organizations like the Genius Club, mysterious and powerful, forging through the long river of time, present the ultimate pursuit for them.

So...

What to do about Ji Lin?

After thinking for a while, Lin Xian opened his eyes and looked at Officer Liu:

"Officer Liu, when we announce Ji Xinshui’s confession fact to the public tomorrow, can we also erase Zhou Duanyun’s name in the process?"

Officer Liu, surprised, said,

"Lin... Lin Xian, what do you mean? Zhou Duanyun has done so many excessive things, I was planning to contact the state to put him on the global wanted list. Erasing his crimes... it doesn’t make sense."

Lin Xian shook his head:

"It’s just temporary. I have a plan... Maybe I can lure him into a trap."

Lin Xian smiled:

"I’m not hiding it from you all, Zhou Duanyun and I were high school classmates, and we’ve had some interactions. I understand him well and know what he has always wanted... I ask for your cooperation."

Officer Liu and Chu Shanhe looked at each other and then both nodded.

They had really witnessed Lin Xian’s strategies and intellect in recent times.

Whether it was the recent capture plan or his miraculous action that made Ji Xinshui honestly confess all his crimes, these were all proofs of Lin Xian’s strength.

"No problem, Lin Xian."

Officer Liu nodded firmly,

"I trust you! From now on, just proceed according to your plan, and I’ll handle the rest!"

...

Late at night.

Ji Lin in the interrogation room closed his eyes to rest, feeling time passing by.

He knew the 24 hours were almost up.

He would soon leave this place.

Creak————

The heavy door of the interrogation room was pushed open, and someone came in.

He lifted his head to look...
