Chapter 2630: Chapter 2631: Lin Yi Takes Action

The two were stunned when they saw the document on the table.

They didn’t expect to encounter such a big shot while investigating a situation!

So young and already at this rank, not everyone can achieve that.

“Hello, Chief!”

“No, no, no, I’m a Daoist priest now; no need to be so formal.”

Lin Yi waved his hand, gesturing for the two to sit down.

“Take your time explaining. What happened? How did he end up in the ICU?”

“It’s a gunshot wound.”

“Gunshot wound?”

Lin Yi paused; in a place like China, not just anyone has the privilege of sustaining such an injury.

It would have to be someone at the level of the Central Guards Brigade leader or a major conglomerate CEO.

But Zhang Youfu is just an old lecherous Daoist; it seems unlikely he’d be involved in such matters.

“Where did you find him?”

“At the Spring Hotel in the city,” the short and thin detective said:

“Because the victim had only paid for one day, and the next day at noon, when he hadn’t checked out, according to procedure, they entered the room to check and found the victim.”

Lin Yi’s gaze turned grave. Based on their description, the crime scene should be the hotel.

“Did you check the surveillance footage?”

“We did. During the time of the incident, the hotel’s surveillance happened to be broken, so we didn’t find any suspicious individuals.”

“Surveillance broken…”

Lin Yi muttered, sensing this wasn’t a simple matter.

It was highly likely intentional.

If that were true, then this incident is much more complicated.

“How many shots were fired?”

“One shot to the chest,” the short and thin police officer said:

“But his body structure is different from others. His heart is situated on the right side, so he narrowly escaped disaster.”

“The perpetrator must be quite professional,” Lin Yi murmured.

“Hmm?” The two were surprised, “How can you tell, sir?”

“The fact that the assailant acted in such a way indicates a clear intent to kill him, and firing only one shot at the chest shows incredible confidence in their method. It must be a professional assassin.”

Upon hearing Lin Yi’s analysis, the two nodded repeatedly.

They hadn’t thought of this before.

“Aside from that, have you discovered anything else?” Lin Yi looked at the photos, “It seems like this didn’t just happen.”

“It happened the day before yesterday, but we couldn’t find any information about him at the scene. It wasn’t until he was taken to the hospital that we conducted a thorough investigation and found out he was from Longhu Mountain, and that’s why we came to you.”

“The day before yesterday…”

Lin Yi touched his chin. According to Zhang Youfu’s previous plan, he should have returned to Shangqing Palace on that day.

If nothing had happened, he’d have been back already.

“Which hospital is he at?”

“Nanda Affiliated First Hospital.”

Lin Yi nodded, “You should report this to your leaders, saying Zhang Youfu is very clean with no prior criminal record. You can hold off on gathering evidence for him.”

Saying this, Lin Yi typed his phone number into his phone:

“This is my number. If your leaders have any issues with such arrangements, let them call me.”

“Alright, alright…”

Although the two were older than Lin Yi, the difference in aura was significant.

“We’ll leave it at that for now, I won’t keep you.” Lin Yi said:

“Leave me your number too. I may need to contact you later.”

“Calling it ‘trouble’ is too distant. Just reach out if you need us.”

“Alright.”

After leaving their numbers, Lin Yi saw them off.

Meanwhile, Li Yongnian and Zhuang Xiaoyun approached.

“Uncle Master, Master is in trouble, let’s go check on him.”

The others were somewhat okay, but Zhuang Xiaoyun was already wiping away tears.

“He’s in the ICU, and you won’t be able to see him even if you go. Just wait at home.” Lin Yi comforted:

“Besides, he’s out of danger now, so don’t worry about it. Attend to your own matters and don’t stress over this.”

“Understood.”

Everyone left with worried expressions, clearly still uneasy.

Once the area was quiet, Lin Yi took out his phone and called Xiao Bing.

“Where are you guys?”

“We’re resting in Yanjing; anything going on, Lin Bro?”

“Is there a new mission?” Lin Yi asked.

“Not yet. Since we’re free, we voluntarily stayed with the brigade, hoping to enhance our skills.”

“Notify the group to gather as soon as possible and come to Longhu Mountain Shangqing Palace. I’ll help you take leave.”

“Yes!”

Xiao Bing didn’t inquire further; that’s the rule of the Guardian Brigade!

Once an order is issued, it must be executed unconditionally.

After hanging up with Xiao Bing, Lin Yi called Liu Hong.

At such a time, notifying the group requires making a phone call.

Liu Hong was easy to deal with, granting a week’s leave, extendable if no issues arise.

If anything happens, they must regroup immediately.

About four hours later, around two in the afternoon, the group arrived at Shangqing Palace.

“Boss, why are you experiencing life in a place like this? There’s not even a proper Big Treasure Sword spot,” Zhao Yunhu said.

“You’re talking Big Treasure Sword, who cares if it’s proper or not?” Shao Jianfeng said.

“Everyone stay serious, I have important things to discuss with you.”

Lin Yi turned around, standing at Blessed Land Gate, pointing to Zhang Youfu’s room not far away.

“I need to leave soon. You must guard that room well, and no one, including the Daoists of Shangqing Palace, should approach.”

“Understood!”

Everyone responded in unison!

“This is the only task you have. Guard that room during my absence.”

“Understood!”

After leaving instructions, Lin Yi walked away.

He wasn’t acting without reason.

Because the situation at hand exceeded his expectations in complexity.

If Feng Jiaming came to steal something, it might merely be for money.

Perhaps Zhang Youfu truly hid gold and resorted to this.

But now, Zhang Youfu was attacked, making matters serious.

Feng Jiaming is just a small thug; even with a hundred guts, he wouldn’t dare do such a thing to Zhang Youfu.

Combining various factors, the situation becomes clear.

In the shadows, another group might be eyeing Zhang Youfu’s possessions.

And that group is more professional and ruthless!

Taking into account Li Yongnian’s previous remarks.

Five years ago, someone tried to steal from Shangqing Palace, preventing Zhang Youfu from descending the mountain all these years.

This indicates Zhang Youfu’s possessions might be more than just valuable.

That’s why he brought the group here.

Lin Yi trusts no one else, and with such an incident, ordinary people certainly can’t guard Shangqing Palace.

“That old man is quite mysterious.”

Muttering, Lin Yi smirked and then headed towards the hospital.
