I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 2400: Chapter 2401: Don’t Play With Fire Chapter 2400: Chapter 2401: Don’t Play With Fire “So you are well aware that this car is very likely a stolen vehicle, aren’t you?”

Li Xin gave an awkward smile, “Officer, I won’t hide it from you. This is a small place, we just want to make some quick money and might do slightly sketchy stuff, but we never break the law, so we took it.”

Li Xin stubbed out his cigarette.

“If you had come a bit later, I might have already flipped this vehicle. Now that you are here, I can only accept my bad luck.”

“Seeing that you are an honest person, we won’t hold you accountable for this, but we still need your cooperation.”

“Sure, sure, whatever you need, I’ll definitely cooperate.”

“The person who sold you the car is a murderer. We are currently tracking him down and need you to describe his appearance.”

“Ah! A murderer!”

Li Xin immediately looked deflated.

He had thought he was dealing with just a petty thief, but it turned out to be a murderer!

“I remember he was quite tall and strong, almost one meter ninety, wearing a mask, and there was a scar around his eyes. I don’t remember much else, but there are surveillance cameras in the house; you can check there.”

“Let’s go!”

The three were taken inside, where a computer as ancient as an antique sat on a table, displaying the courtyard’s surveillance footage.

The footage was of the very place they had just been.

Li Xin, knowing what he had to do, fiddled around at the computer for a while and pulled up this morning’s surveillance videos.

Soon, Lin Yi saw the van driving in from outside.

A person got out of the van, just as Li Xin had described: the individual was indeed tall, perhaps not exactly 190 cm, but close.

He was also very robust, weighing at least over 200 pounds.

Beyond that, he wore a mask on his face and gloves on his hands, dressed in long clothes that covered him well.

Even Lin Yi could not see much of his facial features with that kind of get-up.

But the general outline was distinguishable.

“Think again, besides the scar on his face, are there any other characteristics on him?”

“This…”

Li Xin tried hard to recall, “His skin was quite dark, and he had wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, he must be over forty years old, there’s nothing else that I remember.”

“How did you carry out the transaction? Cash or WeChat?”

“Cash.”

Lin Yi was not surprised. If it had been through WeChat, the person wouldn’t be fit to be the criminal in this case.

Just then, a police car drove in from outside.

Zhu Junchi arrived with Fang Zhiping, and Lin Yi also walked outside.

“Heard you found that car?”

Lin Yi nodded and pointed to the van not far away.

“Seems like that’s the one. Let Fang Zhiping take a look.”

Under the escort of two other policemen, Fang Zhiping walked up to the car handcuffed, took a few glances, and then said:

“It’s our family’s car!”

Fang Zhiping was visibly agitated, “Officer, have you found the murderer who killed my dad? Where is he?”

“We just have some clues, haven’t found him yet.”

After saying a few words to Fang Zhiping, Lin Yi turned to Zhu Junchi, “Brother Zhu, get someone to take the car back. This might be a big clue, there’s a very good chance his fingerprints are on it.”

“Will have someone take it back in a bit.”

Afterwards, Lin Yi and Zhu Junchi reviewed the clues they had just gathered.

The latter was very excited as this brought them a step closer to solving the case.

After handling everything, it was already past two in the afternoon, Lin Yi grabbed something to eat quickly and then went to Xiangyang Village.

Standing at the entrance of the village, Lin Yi looked towards Granny Sun’s house.

Under the scorching sun, it appeared even more eerie.

It was as if separated by a shadow into another world.

As an atheist, Lin Yi naturally wasn’t afraid of these things; he pushed open the decrepit courtyard gate and walked straight in.

Step by step, Lin Yi walked toward the courtyard.

But after just a few steps, he saw that snowy white fox, appearing about ten meters in front of him.

“All things have spirits,” best described the fox in front of him.

Man and beast locked eyes, Lin Yi drew the dagger from his lower back and stepped forward!

Seemingly sensing the murderous aura emanating from Lin Yi, the snowy white fox continuously retreated.

Then, it vanished like a wisp of smoke.

But Lin Yi did not sheathe his dagger; he continued walking into the courtyard.

Because this time, he was very aware that this mansion was not as simple as it appeared.

Step by step…

Lin Yi’s footsteps were light and slow.

But upon reaching the middle of the courtyard, he found no one there.

The old rocking chair was still under the sunlight, but Granny Sun was nowhere to be seen, and the snowy white fox had also disappeared.

“Could they be inside?”

Muttering to himself, Lin Yi walked to the door, preparing to go in and check.

But just as he touched the door handle, a hoarse voice suddenly erupted from behind Lin Yi.

“Young man, you’ve come.”

Lin Yi’s nerves tensed up, and he abruptly turned around!

There he was startled to see Granny Sun standing about half a meter behind him, with that snowy white fox perched on her shoulder!

Lin Yi’s heart pounded wildly!

He hadn’t noticed her approach at all!

If Granny Sun had attacked him from behind, it might not have killed him, but he certainly would have been injured.

Lin Yi turned around, abandoning the idea of entering the house.

But he didn’t speak, just standing face-to-face with Granny Sun.

The dim old eyes shrouded in wrinkles, looked like two hollow pits.

Facing Lin Yi’s fierce glare, they showed no discomfort.

But eventually, Granny Sun could not help but speak first.

“Young man, why is it just you today, heh heh… Where is that young lady…?”

“What if I said she’s dead, would you be surprised?”

“No, because I knew she would die.” Granny Sun said in a hoarse voice:

“You looked at what you shouldn’t have seen, so you must die. Now she’s dead, and you’re about to die too, so you can come to my house anytime, we don’t bother much with the dead.”

Lin Yi raised his eyebrows, looked at Granny Sun, and took a step forward.

The two were close together.

The next second, Lin Yi’s right hand shot out, grasping Granny Sun’s neck.

She had not expected Lin Yi to do such a thing, and her face showed panic.

“I don’t care whether you are really sick or just pretending, pass my message to the killer. If he dares to touch Gu Yiran again, I will come and kill you first.”

Granny Sun was restrained by Lin Yi, unable to utter a word, her face turning red, at any moment she might be choked to death by him!

But Lin Yi did not let go, muttering to himself:

“I don’t know if there’s any connection between you two, but I believe you’ll understand what I’m saying, so don’t play with fire.”
