After Lin Ke saw the choice, his heart suddenly sank.
The choice comes again...
And this time he was not given the chance to choose them all, but only two choices.
Justice or cowardice!
Danger or safety!
Lin Ke looked at Butcher Zhang and frowned slightly.
What the system means is...if he ignores it, Butcher Zhang will definitely be convicted.
But why would Butcher Zhang be convicted? This is unreasonable!
When he came back to his senses, he saw Bai Zhantang next to him, trembling all over as if he was in shock, but his eyes were still focused on Shopkeeper Tong.
It can be seen that although the two of them usually fight and fight, they seem to be enemies.
But when things really happened, it was still obvious that Bai Zhantang still had "feelings" for Shopkeeper Tong.
Bai Zhantang may be worried that shopkeeper Tong’s “pardon” will lead to conviction!
Lin Ke then shifted his attention to other places, looking for key figures.
At the door of Tongfu Restaurant, there was Butcher Zhang, the father and son storyteller in the teahouse, Wang Lin from the painting studio, and the matchmaker who was listening to music and singing, all standing there with their necks stretched out to watch.
At this time, Li Hanlin glanced at Captain Xing, nodded to him, then turned around and glanced, without saying anything, he just sat down naturally, and someone quickly brought a stool and placed it under him.
Captain Xing's eyebrows were filled with joy. He looked at Shopkeeper Tong and then glanced at Bai Zhantang Lin Ke. He looked away and asked: "Damn fat man, tell me, what's going on?"
Shopkeeper Tong took a step forward, raised his hands and bowed, and said: "Sir, Detective Xing, three people came here just an hour ago. The common people asked the boy Lin Ke to go to Butcher Zhang to get meat. Then, this young man came
Come in"
Captain Xing waved his hand to interrupt and asked quickly: "You said four people came? Then why are there only three bodies? Where is the other person? What happened to that black bear?"
Shopkeeper Tong also looked confused and said: "There are indeed four people. Three middle-aged men came first, one fat, one short and thin, one tall, and then this rosy-faced young man came right after..."
As he spoke, he took a breath and said with a smile: "We don't know either. They sat at two tables, with three people at the front and a table for the young man alone.
Everything was fine in the beginning. After getting the meat back from Butcher Zhang and finishing the dishes for the two tables, the three of us were in the kitchen planning to rest for a while and then go out."
"Is it that simple?" Xing Captou first smiled flatteringly at Li Hanlin, and then continued to ask shopkeeper Tong with a straight face: "Do you remember the face of the disappeared person? And... Butcher Zhang is also there.
Within the range of suspects?”
"Caomin remembers..."
…
But on the side, listening to the conversation between Shopkeeper Tong and Agent Xing, Lin Ke was moved in his heart!
Zhang Butcher!
"Okay, stop talking now!" Agent Xing quickly waved his hands to the others and said arrogantly: "You two go to the butcher shop and call Butcher Zhang."
"No need, I'm here!" a voice from the door responded.
Butcher Zhang strode over.
Butcher Zhang strode towards Mr. Xing, stood next to shopkeeper Tong and said, "Sir, Lao Xing, I'm here!"
Lin Ke saw Captain Xing roll his eyes, and even Shopkeeper Tong, who looked sad, relaxed a little.
Captain Xing smiled quickly, rolled his eyes, and asked with a smile: "Shopkeeper Tong said he asked his guy Lin Lin to go get some meat from you. Is this the case?"
Butcher Zhang glanced at Lin Ke, nodded heavily, and said: "Lin Ke, you got the meat from my place. I weighed a cow hind leg. The meat is seven pounds and the bone is six ounces!"
Captain Xing thought for a moment and walked quickly to the kitchen, where he saw the remaining meat on the chopping board.
He picked up the meat, looked at it, and touched it with his palm!
Suddenly he retracted his hand as if he was electrocuted.
Captain Xing quickly ran out of the kitchen and shouted: "Come here, arrest him quickly!"
Hearing Captain Xing's voice and looking over, he was already running up to Li Hanlin, who was carrying the meat. Lin Ke quickly shouted: "Sir, wait a minute!"
Everyone looked at Lin Ke and frowned.
Lin Ke walked towards Agent Xing with everyone watching.
He stood in front of Captain Xing, bowed to the man in official uniform behind him and saluted, "Young man, Lin Ke, I have met your Excellency!"
"Are you Lin Ke?" Agent Xing asked. When he saw Lin Ke nodded in response: "Come on! Catch him too!"
Lin Ke waved his hand and said: "Sir, wait a minute, I won't run. If I wanted to run, I would have run away long ago before you came. Why would I need to come to you and have you catch me?"
Li Hanlin squinted at Lin Ke, then waved his hand to stop Lin Ke and Zhang Butcher from being arrested.
He looked interested: "Oh? That's interesting. What do you want to say?"
Lin Ke smiled and said: "Sir, I am a waiter in the restaurant. I am the one who got the meat tonight. I can prove that Butcher Zhang is not guilty."
Captain Xing spoke at this moment: "Sir, don't listen to his nonsense, just watch!"
I saw him holding the half "cow hind leg" in both hands and walking forward to watch Li Hanlin.
Li Hanlin looked over with a nonchalant expression, and suddenly saw him standing up suddenly!
The chair under Hanli immediately shattered into wooden pieces after he stood up.
He turned directly to look at Butcher Zhang: "Catch him!"
Immediately, two people came forward and held down Butcher Zhang's arms.
"Wait a minute!" Lin Ke took a step forward: "Sir, although this is demon meat, I have a question, sir. Can this demon meat kill people?"
"As far as I know, there will be no problem if you eat the demon meat man. On the contrary, it can strengthen your physique. Is that right, sir?"
These were all what Butcher Zhang told him when he was in the cellar, after he and Butcher Zhang resolved the "scare" misunderstanding!
Butcher Zhang said...his true identity is the demon slayer!
You don’t know if you don’t hear it, but you will be shocked when you hear it.
In the small Chaoyang Street, apart from Wang Lin and shopkeeper Tong, as well as weirdos like the matchmaker and Li Chungang, and Qi Dayan, the crooked minister, there is such a demon exterminator?
What is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon?
As for why Lin Ke felt cold at that time?
That's no nonsense, the meat of the monsters that Butcher Zhang was slaughtering at that time was exactly monsters related to Yin Qi.
His meat is sold cheaply because it costs nothing to eliminate demons, so demon meat is cheaper than pork for him.
And he could tell that Butcher Zhang was a very careless person, and he would just say whatever he said.
It was only the first day I came into contact with him, and I told him my details.
The character of Butcher Zhang is evident!
At this time, Lin Ke saw that the man wearing Li Hanlin did not speak, but nodded slightly.
He also breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Sir, Brother Zhang is actually a demon slayer!"
Although I don’t know why Butcher Zhang didn’t talk about this, and I don’t know if Butcher Zhang was really unjust.
But the system has said that saving Butcher Zhang is definitely justice, and that's enough!
Then, he turned to Zhang Butcher, who was being held by two policemen, but looked at Lin Ke in shock, and said, "Brother Zhang, if you don't admit your identity, you will become a murderer."
Li Hanlin, who was wearing the suit, also looked at Butcher Zhang in shock.
There are actually people from the Yaosi here!
Yaosi!
It belongs to the Demon Department, one of the twelve departments of the Holy Dynasty.
There is a demon extermination group under the demon department, and the demon extermination group has six major groups.
Each group of ten people, each outstanding, can serve as the city leader in any city.
And each group member is called a "demon slayer"!
The demon exterminators of the demon extermination team have the right to kill demons first and then report them.
Of course, although he is the same sixth-grade official as himself, he is located in the imperial capital and is within his jurisdiction. His power is slightly greater than that of the demon slayer.
Li Hanlin first waved, and a policeman came to him. He whispered a few words in his ear. After the policeman left, he looked at Butcher Zhang.
I heard him directly ask: "Butcher Zhang? Are you the demon exterminator? I have admired you for a long time, so these corpses on the ground, Mr. Zhang, were accidentally injured by you in order to exterminate demons?"
Butcher Zhang had already shaken off the two men's grasps, released his fierce aura, and said to the person in front of him:
"Jingdong Shaoyin Li Hanlin, Mr. Li! I am a demon exterminator, but I am only selling demon meat here. I have not exterminated demons. I don't know what happened. I only came out when I heard the noise!"
"Well, if you put it that way..." Li Hanlin nodded and turned to look at Lin Ke: "You are the second person who has come into contact with demon meat. You are the most suspected, along with your shopkeeper and Bai Zhantang."
At this time, Butcher Zhang spoke again: "Li Shaoyin, it shouldn't be possible for shopkeeper Tong, because he has been buying my monster meat for twenty years and has never had any problems. Bai Zhantang has also been with him for more than ten years and has never had any problems."
What a mistake!"
"Oh?" Li Hanlin looked at Lin Ke and said, "You stopped us from arresting Mr. Zhang. What did you say to yourself?"
Lin Ke's eyes were unusually calm and he smiled and said: "It's okay, sir. Since I dare to stand up, it means that I am not afraid of being framed. I need time to find the murderer!"
Lin Ke was actually cursing his mother, this butcher is too damn upright!
I saved him, but why does he seem to doubt himself?
Li Hanlin stared at Lin Ke calmly for a while, then looked around at the people around him and said: "Hahaha, okay, with your courage to speak for Mr. Zhang, I can give you this opportunity.
, allowing you to prove your innocence."
"Five days!"
Li Hanlin looked sternly: "Your life is at stake. I only give you five days. If you don't come out, you can come to the Yamen to report yourself. You will just catch up with the seven-day investigation, so it will save trouble!"
Lin Ke nodded solemnly upon hearing this.
really!
The man in black gave Li Hanlin five days to find the murderer, and Li Hanlin gave himself five days.
If the murderer is not found, he will really become a scapegoat.
"Ding!"
"The decision is made!"
"The reward has been distributed!"
"At the same time, an additional reward is triggered - [High Rank Appreciation]!"
[Appreciation from a higher personality: Your justice and fearlessness of danger have been appreciated and paid attention to by a higher personality. 】
High status?
Lin Ke was shocked and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
