Use first and repay later: Advance the future cultivation fruits-Chapter 83 - 81, A Sky Net and an Earth Trap Part 2

Afterward, Lin Qing quickly donned the uniform of a Patrol Officer and, once his hair and collar were neatly arranged, he walked out of the booth with a calm expression and leisurely washed his hands at the sink.

"The cameras at the entrance of the hospital had also been sabotaged in advance, leaving only the more distant ones, which could only capture blurry images that couldn’t make anything out."

Lin Qing pondered to himself, "It’s just that this uniform isn’t very sturdy. My strength is too great now, and even the sturdiest clothes Jiayi helped me steal can’t withstand my outbursts for long. Thankfully, Xiao Peidong was weak; he went down in one hit..."

There might be fragments of clothing left at the scene, but that wouldn’t mean much.

The clothes he had worn had turned entirely to powder, and after being flushed down the drain, even if remnants were found in the city’s sewer pipes, they wouldn’t prove anything.

Unless there were pieces of his skin tissue left behind, which would be significant.

But with his current physical condition, and having deliberately activated the Combat Skill "Steel," the idea of his skin breaking when killing Xiao Peidong was out of the question.

Moreover, ’Chu Tianyao’ had fled in the opposite direction of the hospital, and under normal circumstances, no one would suspect that he had taken a route that was conveniently out of every camera’s blind spots.

Of course, the main reason was that he had the cooperation of Zhao Jiayi’s telekinesis, altering the angles of some cameras or disguising them as old and damaged beforehand.

Even if there were pedestrians passing by, Zhao Jiayi would use subconscious cues to make them turn their heads at just the right moment to avoid noticing him.

Added to his incredible speed, being seen clearly by ordinary people was even less likely.

For today, he had rehearsed the plan’s every detail with Zhao Jiayi over several rounds before finalizing it.

Even the time of his cousin’s surgery was manipulated by Zhao Jiayi with subconscious suggestions to his cousin, making it seem like a coincidence that it was scheduled for today.

"I’m innocent... I even had my colleagues send flowers for my coworker’s discharge, and I’ve been in the hospital all along, accompanying my sister through surgery..."

Lin Qing muttered to himself, shook the water droplets from his hands, and after exiting the restroom, casually took a few apples from a shy nurse, leaving a lasting impression for anyone who might need to corroborate his alibi, before returning to the waiting area outside the operating room.

In fact, from the time he left to his return, little more than a minute had passed.

The dash into the crowd to kill Xiao Peidong and retreat again took only a second or two.

Circling back to the hospital and dealing with evidence took a bit longer but was still not as long as it would take a normal person to urinate.

"Auntie, cousin, I got a few apples from a nurse."

When Lin Qing returned to the waiting area outside the operating room, his aunt and Chen Ruizhe, his cousin, were still waiting silently.

He sat down on a bench, handed out the apples, and picked up the phone he had purposefully left aside before he went to the restroom.

—Mobile phones endlessly emit signals, leaving traces when they pass through various base stations. It would be easy to trace if someone wanted to, so, naturally, he wouldn’t carry it with him.

"Being a Patrol Officer is a different story."

Cousin Chen Ruizhe chuckled as he accepted an apple, "That young and pretty Doctor Chi seemed quite proactive towards you."

"I’m still young; puppy love isn’t good," Lin Qing waved his hand dismissively.

"..."

Chen Ruizhe was at a loss for words. You’re already a Level One Patrol Officer and you’re talking about puppy love?

"Forget it, don’t try to set me up."

Auntie gave her son a disdainful look, "Lin Qing has just come of age and remains naïve. That female doctor seems experienced; we can’t have Lin Qing tricked by her. I think Lin Qing’s assistant looks good, pretty and polite, clearly innocent."

Lin Qing couldn’t help but cough, pretending to turn his head in embarrassed modesty.

Auntie and cousin couldn’t help but laugh.

Although he was a Level One Patrol Officer and could even pull strings to find high-end Mechanical Prosthetics they had never heard of, he was still just a shy and modest boy…

Lin Qing muttered to himself.

It made sense. An eighteen-year-old innocent boy wouldn’t be worth suspecting...

"Beep beep."

Just then, Lin Qing’s phone suddenly rang.

The caller ID showed that it was Zhao Jiayi calling.

"Hello?"

"What did you say?"

"Alright, I’m on my way now."

Lin Qing frowned, ended the call, and looked toward his aunt and cousin with puzzled expressions, "Cousin, auntie, something’s happened at the hospital entrance. I’m going to check it out. You two stay here."

Chen Ruizhe and Auntie could tell from Lin Qing’s expression that something big must have happened and nodded immediately.

"Go ahead, be quick."

...

At the entrance of Xiao Shan District People’s Hospital.

At this moment, a temporary cordon had been set up in the area, preventing any vehicles or crowds from passing through.

A fleet of unmanned drones equipped with heavy machine guns, known as ’Tiger Bee Hunters,’ had also taken flight, forming a net around the vicinity on patrol, effectively creating a firewall.

"What’s happened?"

Lin Qing frowned deeply as he looked at the corpse and bloodstains on the ground, his voice cold, "Captain Xiao just got discharged from the hospital, and Chu Tianyao is already attacking?"

He suddenly turned his head, his eyes sweeping over the assembled Patrol in an icy glare, "Only those of us present in the Patrol knew about Captain Xiao’s discharge information and the exact timing. How could Chu Tianyao choose such a perfect moment?"

The Patrol members met his gaze with silence.

Everyone present understood, Chu Tianyao was like a madman, pure and simple—a desperado, attacking a Patrol Officer in public. How insane was that?

But in the end, only Captain Xiao was killed; even when other Patrol officers fired their guns, Chu Tianyao did not fight back.

That in itself was suspicious.

It was enough to raise the suspicion that among the Patrol members present, there may be informants for Chu Tianyao.

"Get ready to be investigated."

Lin Qing spoke in a low tone, "After such a big incident, someone from the Headquarters will be here soon."

...

Xiao Shan District branch office.

In the director’s office.

"Director Kou."

Lin Qing frowned at Director Kou, who sat behind the desk, and asked, "When will someone from the Headquarters arrive?"

"They will be here soon," said Director Kou in a grave voice. "The central office is furious, and I heard they’re sending an ’Inspector’ along with three ’Senior Patrol Chiefs’. They’re also bringing high-tech searching equipment, ready to conduct a thorough search of Lin’an City and the surrounding areas."

Good... Lin Qing silently praised.

The Original Research Institute targeted him, and he couldn’t handle such a behemoth on his own; naturally, he had to rely on the Inspection Headquarters to deal with it.

"An Inspector? What rank is that?" Lin Qing asked curiously.

He had only heard that above the Patrol Chief were the various Senior Patrol Chiefs, this was the first time he was hearing about an ’Inspector’.

"It’s normal for you not to have heard of it,"

explained Director Kou. "This is the highest rank within our Patrol system, and it’s really the elite at the Headquarters."

"Is it a Genetic Awakened?" Lin Qing couldn’t help but ask.

"To be precise... it belongs to the strong among the Genetic Awakened," Director Kou nodded slightly.

"It seems the Headquarters takes this very seriously."

Lin Qing felt increasingly at ease, then frowned and said, "But... I’m worried that Chu Tianyao might escape before they arrive?"

"He won’t."

Director Kou said gravely, "At this moment, three near-Earth orbit ultra-resolution Patrol satellites have already locked onto Lin’an City. Drones are sealing off and checking every main road and even the sewers. Under a net that covers the heavens and the earth, Chu Tianyao can’t escape."

Lin Qing nodded slightly, relieved, "That’s good. I still don’t understand why Chu Tianyao would want to kill Captain Xiao."

"Perhaps it’s revenge."

Director Kou sighed, "Not long ago, didn’t Chu Tianyao just launch a sneak attack on the Yuanhong Society’s stronghold? Clearly, he has a vendetta against the Yuanhong Society. Maybe he killed Captain Xiao today in order to draw the Inspection Headquarters into a thorough investigation, which would then deal a severe blow to the Yuanhong Society."

"That’s insane," Lin Qing exclaimed.

...

...

South Bank Street.

Inside a hidden basement of a bar.

"Here we go again..."

The bald and lean Chu Tianyao looked at the emergency intelligence he had just received on his phone, a slight smile curling at the corner of his mouth, "Impersonating me and making such a big fuss? Truly audacious... Good, kill more, the more the better..."

He pleasantly viewed the message, which sparked even more anticipation.

He did not dare to be so crazy because he knew that after such a deranged act, there would be no escape.

But someone else going crazy in his place gave him a sense of satisfaction.

Suddenly—

"Beep beep."

His phone received another message.

Chu Tianyao opened it with delight and discovered it was an order from the BOSS.

[The Headquarters’ Inspector will arrive in Lin’an City in two hours. You must immediately capture Lin Qing and Zhao Jiayi and escape through the underground tunnel of route β. Someone will meet you at point three to pick you up.]

"Are they giving up on me? Seems like there’s no escaping..."

Chu Tianyao suddenly burst into a radiant smile, "Well then, I might as well make it even crazier. You want me to capture Lin Qing and Zhao Jiayi alive? I’ll kill them all instead. Oh right... and his sister’s family too. I didn’t finish them off last time; a family should be complete."
