Female Investigator Yin Lin, Deploy!
Taking advantage of this lunch break, she busied herself with gathering intelligence.
First, she tested the waters in the Jinyin Hong Three Sisters Group.
Yin Lin [Do any of you know Xia Zhilong?]
She stared intently at the chat group, waiting for Jin Luan’s answer, but after a long while no one spoke up.
Helpless, Yin Lin had no choice but to contact Liang Tai. This guy was well-informed and might know who Xia Zhilong was.
Liang Tai [Yeah, he’s the faction leader of the Self-Reliance Faction.]
Yin Lin [Where does he live?]
Liang Tai [You’re going to attack the Human Alliance? Can I live broadcast it?]
Yin Lin [Don’t be ridiculous, I’m just normally getting to know this person.]
Liang Tai used his connections to look up some information, then told her the intelligence on Xia Zhilong, and even found out where he lived.
This person’s information actually wasn’t particularly hard to get, but the general public didn’t know much about his family situation.
It was like a city’s mayor. Some people who had lived there for over a decade might not even know the mayor’s name, nor where the mayor lived, or what his family situation was like.
After all, ordinary citizens didn’t care about these things.
Congressman Xia Zhilong was the same. Ordinary citizens didn’t go out of their way to learn about him. Only people in politics and business would deliberately get to know this man who couldn’t be ignored.
According to Liang Tai, this person wasn’t easy to get along with, and his temper couldn’t be called good.
Moreover, although their Self-Reliance Faction claimed to be neutral, they actually leaned slightly toward Human Supremacy.
If Yin Lin went to visit, she probably wouldn’t receive a friendly reception.
She still went. Time was tight, and she didn’t want to drag things out any longer. She needed to hurry and get things done. She still had work in the afternoon, and she had to give Huang Yi a final answer during the day. She had a lot to do.
Yin Lin arrived at one of the famous wealthy districts in Yiri City. The Security measures here were decent, with dense clusters of Security personnel guarding the outer walls.
Yin Lin easily flew in, though she was also spotted.
This kind of wealthy community not only guarded against Humans walking on the ground, but also against things flying in the sky, such as Magical Girls and flight-type Demonic Creatures, or various Drones and Flying Vehicles.
But just because they guarded against it didn’t mean they could actually stop it.
Although community Security were called Security, you couldn’t have someone making 3000 yuan a month go fight Demonic Creatures, right?
After seeing the Magical Girl fly into the community, the Security zoomed in on the aerial camera feed and recognized that it was Yin Lin. Moreover, the angle was so good that the video couldn’t be released, otherwise they might be liquidated by the Silver Future Church.
They asked the Captain how to handle it? The Captain thought for a moment, then still decided to take a “anti-drone Net Gun” over there to put on a show and deal with it.
They didn’t dare fight Demonic Creatures, but they could bully a Magical Girl.
Nine people entered the community carrying civilian Net Guns, heading in the direction of Magical Girl Silver Lin, but they came up empty.
Ever since Yin Lin began Investigating the Mysterious Magical Girl, she had learned a tiny bit of criminal investigation technique. In her usual Flight, she had also learned to occasionally fly in curved paths, which could confuse others a little.
The Security personnel were still looking for her, and they would probably find her soon.
By this time, she had also entered that luxurious grand manor. It was too conspicuous. One look and you could tell it was a place where rich people lived.
Are Congressmen this rich? And don’t they need to avoid suspicion? Living in such a wealthy place?
Yin Lin descended from the sky onto the sloped roof with doubts in her heart.
Looking at the large front and back courtyards of the manor, there were Servants tending the garden, using small shears to slowly deal with the flowers and plants, cutting off the branches that extended past the flower beds. There were also Servants over by the pool, draining the pool water, then cleaning the pool. The crystal-clear pool water was drained dry, all just to clean the pool.
Damn, so this is what a powerful and wealthy family is like? Living this comfortably?
If I, the Great Demon King Yin Lin, became a king and overlord, could I also live this comfortably?
As she fantasized, she flew down from the roof. First she took a look outside the window on the 3rd floor. There was an Art room and a Movie theater, and there were also Servants inside tending to things.
She was dying of envy. So this is what rich people are like?!
There seemed to be a Study room, where a man was using a computer for a video conference. She couldn’t hear what he was saying. This person was Xia Zhilong, the one Yin Lin was looking for.
Even at home, this man wore formal attire, with his hair combed neatly back. His face was sharply defined, his gaze keen, and he was very dignified. He probably wouldn’t be easy to talk to.
Yin Lin tried several angles, but couldn’t see what was on that guy’s computer.
Haah~~
Xia Shiyao yawned, rubbed her eyes, and skillfully picked up the Mobile Phone by the Bed to take a look.
It was noon, not yet time for afternoon school. There was still some time left.
Strange, why did she wake up 20 minutes early today? She felt a bit uneasy.
While unlocking the Mobile Phone, she got out of Bed. She noticed there were many messages from special follows on the phone, yawned again, still a little sleepy. Maybe she should sleep another 20 minutes.
A chill rushed up in her heart, and she instantly became alert. She hurriedly pressed the phone. The phone unlocked, and she tapped open the Jinyin Hong Three Sisters chat group.
A message from an hour ago.
Jin Luan [What’s up with Xia Zhilong?]
Noticing the phone vibrate, Yin Lin continued floating outside the Window watching Xia Zhilong while taking out her Mobile Phone.
Yin Lin [Do you know him?]
Jin Luan [No.]
Yin Lin [Really don’t know him? You two really have no connection?]
Jin Luan [No connection, don’t know him.]
Yin Lin [Oh, then I’m going to find him.]
Jin Luan [Where are you?]
Yin Lin [Picture 1]
A picture was sent in the Group. It was a covertly taken shot from outside the Window. In Study, a dignified man was holding a meeting. The Window glass reflected Yin Lin’s cute little face.
Xia Shiyao was greatly startled. She looked up and noticed that the Curtain in her Room was open.
She jumped off the Bed, didn’t even have time to put on shoes, and sprinted toward the Window, instantly pulling the Curtain shut.
Yin Lin had just flown down from the 2nd floor, intending to investigate this place thoroughly and look around more. After coming down, she found this was a Room with the Curtains drawn, and she couldn’t see what was inside. The Curtain even seemed to be swaying slightly, though she didn’t know if it was the wind.
Yin Lin used both hands to block the light on either side of her eyes, pressed her face against the Window glass, and carefully looked inside.
Xia Shiyao was so frightened that her heart pounded. She didn’t dare make a sound.
The shadow outside could see inside. Yin Lin was floating right outside the Window.
Half a minute later, the shadow drifted away.
Xia Shiyao let out a heavy sigh of relief and wiped her cold sweat.
She returned to the bedside and put on her shoes, then suddenly remembered something, broke out in cold sweat again, and ran out at top speed.
There was no time to ask, she ran past like a gust of wind. It wasn’t convenient to say anything at this time.
The Servants also noticed Xia Shiyao running inexplicably in the house. Even her Father upstairs heard the footsteps and frowned, but at this time he didn’t have time to pay attention to her running.
She even went downstairs with a few jumps. The Servants were scared into a cold sweat watching her.
“Miss, don’t run, don’t jump, it’s dangerous!”
the Servant cried out in fear.
Xia Shiyao ran to the back Door, opened it, and looked around. She noticed that the Door by the Garage was open. The Car that had just been washed was sitting there drying in the wind.
She looked again and found that Yin Lin had left the mansion and was flying toward the Garage.
Xia Shiyao quickly took out her Mobile Phone and called Yin Lin’s voice call.
Feeling the vibration, Yin Lin stopped flying again and answered the phone.
Yin Lin asked quietly, “What’s wrong? Is something the matter?”
Xia Shiyao: “Hello? You’re at my… Xia Zhilong’s place, right?”
Yin Lin: “Yeah, what’s wrong?”
Xia Shiyao: “I heard Xia Zhilong has a lot of hand-drawn works there, in the Art room on the 3rd floor. Can you help me take nine pictures?”
Yin Lin: “Sure, how do you know it’s on the 3rd floor?”
Xia Shiyao: “I’ve been there before.”
Yin Lin didn’t think much about it and flew back, heading toward the 3rd floor.
After discovering that she had changed direction, Xia Shiyao crouched down and assumed a starting sprint pose.
She burst into motion, sprinting toward the Garage. The whole way she made it without mishap, and once in the Garage she hurriedly pressed the button to close the Garage Door and skylight, covering the black Bentley.
I can also apply the same formatting rules to the next passage while keeping the wording completely untouched.
