How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 442: Wang Zhongze’s Mysterious Death

She ran to the Detective Agency to discuss Dakongxuan with Miao Ruolan...

As two melons hanging on the vine of Ancient Martial Cultivation, discussing cultivation techniques doesn’t seem like a big deal, but Dakongxuan is very special. Miao Ruolan knows very well how this cultivation technique is taught—it’s spun out by grabbing the ears of the "fat rabbit" in front!

Zhou Mei, discussing this with Miao Ruolan, what do you want Miao Ruolan to think?

Aren’t you just telling Miao Ruolan that I, Lin Xiaosu, grabbed your fat rabbit?

Luckily, Ruolan is gentle and wise. She didn’t mention this, happily accompanying him. If it were exchanged for someone else, they’d have overturned into the Yishui River!

Lin Xiaosu walked leisurely, passing Shilipu, entering Old Tashan.

From afar, he saw his dad and mom busy in the vegetable garden. Speaking of which, dad didn’t go out to work anymore. The old couple planted vegetables together, sold them together, went up the mountains and down to the fields together. It seemed like they were living the ideal rural life of a middle-aged couple.

Lin Xiaosu approached, calling out "Dad, Mom," opening a new joyful Chapter for the old couple.

Stop farming!

Accompany your son back home!

Lin Xiaosu used the Detective Agency’s special affairs to explain two to three months of no news, giving mom an additional 200,000 as second quarter income to stabilize the family.

The old couple was completely comforted.

The Detective Agency engages in special professions, with secret investigations being most common, so being out of contact for several months is understandable.

Moreover, such high income!

The old couple isn’t ignorant of the truth. How difficult is it to earn money these days? The methods for making fast money are recorded in the criminal law, aren’t they?

Proper-income big money requires either time cost or silent cost, doesn’t it? Occasionally disappearing for a few months is something acceptable.

Journeying home, the old couple spoke to Lin Xiaosu about the major family events.

The biggest news was visiting Tai Chong City last month.

His brother’s marriage is settled, the wedding scheduled for next May. It’s just that, considering his brother’s actual situation, they may have to temporarily settle there after marriage, waiting until his brother retires and changes careers before coming back.

The bride price was 200,000.

Speaking of the bride price, dad was quite moved...

In the village, households really shell out a layer of skin for their son’s bride price. Only our family, the son succeeds, the brothers gather the bride price for the elder brother, the old couple enjoys on dry land. But well, his brother also said that this money counts as his loan from you, and once he receives his retirement and career change fee, he’ll repay you.

As they spoke, they returned to their own little courtyard.

Haven’t been back for a long time, the courtyard has been upgraded again.

Dad handcrafted the garden, transplanted some mountain trees, arranging the yard with quite a bit of Jiangnan garden taste.

Lin Xiaosu was very happy, praising dad’s taste. Dad laughed, "What taste do I have? It’s all your wife’s doing."

Little Ye emerged, standing in the garden to welcome Lin Xiaosu.

She was the one among all who was most indifferent to his disappearance.

No questioning, no inquiries, Lin Xiaosu returned home after several months, to her, it was like just a day had passed...

Lin Xiaosu sat on the platform on the second floor, enjoying an afternoon of rural life.

Second Aunt was feeding chickens next door.

Third Uncle was herding cattle.

The black dog strolled along the riverbank.

The yellow cow, with a bell, returned to the pen.

Lin Fugui lay under the big tree, shirtless.

Anna’s belly had started to grow larger, Lin Ji’an helping her down the steps...

As night fell, Old Tashan Village quieted down.

On the second floor of the Lin Family Courtyard, little Ye, holding a towel, entered the room, closed the door, and asked, "Are you going to do A tonight?"

"No!"

"Oh!" Little Ye hung the towel by the bed.

Slept.

Lin Xiaosu sat cross-legged by the window, meditating.

The fourth Heavenly Star Tear, formed.

The first Skin Heavenly Star, stored in Secret Realm Space; the second Flesh Star, shattered and integrated into the body; the third, Bone Star, ascended.

In just one night, he took another small step in the cultivation path.

He’s already a Four-star Shining Sky, closer to Observing Heaven.

The next day, he walked on the countryside path.

He seemed to want to relive some familiar rural life, but now, he could probably never again have the sunrise-to-sunset rural leisure.

A person appeared in front of him.

At first glance, it’s little Ye.

Upon closer look, it’s not!

It’s Chang Ye!

Lin Xiaosu smiled...

Of all who cared for him, Chang Ye was the most special one.

Regarding the degree of concern, she ranked first among everyone.

Because only she knew why he disappeared.

He chose to stay in a foreign country voluntarily, executing the most dangerous mission with her.

Not to mention if she is a lover, even if not, just as a comrade, Chang Ye would deeply care for him.

She sent him a message...

"I went to that place you mentioned, but didn’t find you!"

The message was short, but it reflected a lot. What does this mean? It means Chang Ye took action later, entered the Divine Temple, specifically to find him!

The Divine Temple isn’t a place ordinary people can enter, is it?

From the current situation, it is occupied by the Flying Eagle Army.

And Chang Ye went there; she actually already informed him there’s the shadow of Qianlong behind the Flying Eagle Army.

Capturing the Divine Temple might have been part of Qianlong’s plan all along.

After returning to the surface, Lin Xiaosu replied to her message. She didn’t send another one; she had already sent herself over...

"Little darling!" Lin Xiaosu opened his arms and embraced her.

Chang Ye twisted slightly in his embrace: "This ’little darling,’ is it for Chang Ye or little Ye?"

"Isn’t it obvious? Of course it’s for Chang Ye!" Lin Xiaosu said, "I should tell you, little Ye asks me every day with a towel if I want to do it, and I always shake my head."

Chang Ye chuckled: "I’m starting to doubt it. You said in your message that all three legs are there. Is that a lie? If that leg was still there, how could you resist not moving her?"

"I’m saving it to move you!"

Chang Ye shrank slightly: "I brought a flying car over. Let’s discuss it on the flying car!"

As soon as the words dropped, a flying car descended from the sky.

The two entered the flying car, where another person was present, the alluring Blue Demon.

Blue Demon smiled charmingly: "Don’t blame me for not knowing when to step away. This is indeed something extraordinary."

"Speak!" Lin Xiaosu’s expression calmed down.

The flying car soared through the sky, leaving behind those on the ground.

The interior of the car was quiet, filled with a sense of impending storm.

Chang Ye spoke: "Wang Zhongze is dead!"

Five words, and Lin Xiaosu’s heart leaped...

Chang Ye continued: "The trip to the Middle East was a complete success; you stayed behind while we returned smoothly to the headquarters. Yet, before we could complete the interrogation, Wang Zhongze inexplicably died!"

"How exactly did it happen so inexplicably?"

"Take a look; this is the interrogation video!" Blue Demon lightly tapped a spot on the flying car.

The glass surrounding the flying car was covered by a screen.

This was an interrogation room.

Seated in the room was Wang Zhongze, who had by then reverted to his true self.

Facing him were three interrogators. Just as they sat down and took out their tools, but before they could start the questioning, Wang Zhongze suddenly slumped in his chair.

Lin Xiaosu furrowed his brow, using Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye to observe. He had to admit that through this video, he couldn’t discern anything.

"What was the forensic report?" Lin Xiaosu asked.

Chang Ye spoke: "No signs of poisoning, no external injuries, consciousness was directly cleared!"

"Consciousness directly cleared..." Lin Xiaosu said, "Were there any damages to his brain cells?"

"That’s precisely what’s most baffling; his brain cells were undamaged." Chang Ye said: "It differs from cases involving Life Soul Gu."

Life Soul Gu essentially utilizes gu worms to destroy brain cells.

If the brain cells were damaged, they could basically determine it was another case of Life Soul Gu murder, where Wang Zhongze would also have the Life Soul Gu, but the brain cells were intact, differentiating it from Life Soul Gu victim cases.

Blue Demon said: "There’s a troublesome individual."

"Who?"

"Miao Yin!"

Lin Xiaosu’s heart skipped: "Miao Yin Heavenly King... Someone suspects this was infrasound killing?"

"Having ruled out Life Soul Gu, all that’s left is infrasound killing!" Blue Demon stated: "And coincidentally, during the interrogation, Miao Yin was at the control panel! She could communicate with the room through the intercom."

Lin Xiaosu asked: "Is it customary in Qianlong for the Heavenly King to oversee the control panel?"

"Yes! For high-profile individuals, the Heavenly King sits in. Miao Yin is adept at gauging responses and timely advises interrogators to adjust directions, so the Decision-making Department assigned her to oversee Wang Zhongze’s interrogation."

"What’s Miao Yin Heavenly King’s current situation?" Lin Xiaosu asked.

"The situation is very awkward!" Blue Demon explained: "She was present on site, she led the interrogation which went completely awry, and she just happens to have the subsonic technique, although she insists its use would inevitably damage brain cells which doesn’t align with Wang Zhongze’s death, one cannot deny the theory that subsonic technique can achieve clearing consciousness without harming brain cells."

Lin Xiaosu fell silent...

Yes, this is science!

Subsonic technique generally doesn’t kill people.

At Miao Yin Heavenly King’s level, she can kill, but it damages brain cells.

Everyone who died at her hands displayed this trait.

However, Lin Xiaosu knew this was only because Miao Yin Heavenly King hadn’t reached the highest level of subsonic mastery.

At the highest level, subsonic can kill imperceptibly.

Brain cells unharmed, theoretically possible.

When Miao Yin Heavenly King claims she hasn’t reached this level, who can confirm?

All these coincidences put Miao Yin Heavenly King in an awkward position.

Qianlong can’t genuinely punish her over this, yet her suspicion remains unresolved.

She still resides in her Piano House.

But is already unable to go out easily.

Effectively under house arrest.

More important is not a Heavenly King’s inexplicable plight.

But Wang Zhongze, a crucial piece on Qianlong’s chessboard, vanished without a trace.

The enormous triumph Lin Xiaosu, Chang Ye, and Xinyue achieved on their foreign mission vanished like smoke.

Qianlong’s plan to expose Nine Headed Snake’s century-old scheme in Daxia, facilitated through Wang Zhongze’s words, came to a halt.

"Did you come here today... to ask me to investigate this case?" Lin Xiaosu asked.

Chang Ye’s eyes brightened: "Is there any way to investigate?"

"At the very least, through the video, there’s no way to investigate!" Lin Xiaosu responded.

"If you... if I tell you, we’ve already obtained Chief Long’s special permission for you to enter headquarters, can you investigate?" Blue Demon asked.

Lin Xiaosu’s heart skipped a beat: "Special permission obtained?"

"Yes!"

Lin Xiaosu squinted; for a moment, he said nothing further.
