Chapter 180: The Manipulator

"Hiding it from you?" Although Ye Yu, who was poked at the center, was secretly frightened, he still tried to pretend to be at a loss on the surface. "I'm sorry, I really don't know what you're referring to......"

"Hmm...... For example, the person who almost killed you this time. Qi Yu said meaningfully. I guess you have a number in mind, right?

"Oh, it's this......"

Ye Yu was a little glad that Qi Yu was not asking about his 'potential ability', but when it came to the culprit, Ye Yu couldn't help but recall the last words of the girl who was suspected of being Lin Yutang before the building collapsed.

"I swore to heaven that I would tear you to pieces!"

Why?? I don't know her at all, why does she hate me so much??

Ye Yu was a little confused, and the strange scene from the previous nightmare suddenly came to mind again.

Yuan Ling...... The member of the "Devouring" organization who was going to kill me in the first place, I heard that she had already been arrested, what does Lin Yutang have to do with Yuan Ling? Why do I have such dreams?

Ye Yu was puzzled and felt more and more headaches, but he didn't plan to tell Qi Yu about the dream, so he chose to be perfunctory.

“…… No, I don't know...... By the way, did you just hear me say something in my dreams? ”

Qi Yu didn't answer, but looked at Ye Yu thoughtfully, as if he wanted to see him through; And even if Ye Yu was weak-hearted, in order not to show his timidity, he could only look back at the other party with a hard head.

After a while, Qi Yu suddenly smiled.

"Heh, don't be nervous, I'm kidding." Qi Yu said, got up and walked to the tea table on the side, poured a glass of water and handed it to Ye Yu.

"Do you want water?"

Ye Yu looked at Qi Yu, glanced at his mummified hands and feet, and shook his head gently.

"Oh. Sorry, I almost forgot you can't move right now. Qi Yu shrugged, put the cup back on the table, and smiled at Ye Yu, who had an inexplicable face. Since the injury is so serious, I will arrange for someone to take good care of you, and you can stay here in peace for a while now. You don't have to worry about all the contact with the outside world. ”

"Wait...... Wait a minute! Ye Yu was a little anxious when he heard that the other party seemed to be in a position to close himself off. I...... I can't be locked up here right now! I still have some ......."

"Oh? What's up? Qi Yu still had a "gentle" smile on his face, but he could see Ye Yu's heart furious.

"No...... It's just that...... Forehead ......" Ye Yu hesitated, and couldn't help but look away.

"If nothing happens, you can take care of your injuries, and I won't let 'anyone else' bother you." Qi Yu stood up as he spoke, as if he was going to leave directly.

"Wait...... I...... Is there really something ......" Ye Yu was entangled, looking at Qi Yu who stopped and looked back at him, and finally decided to make a compromise.

"Something...... I'd like to check it out. Ye Yu pondered the wording. Said. "I'm sorry, I did hide some information from you just now, this time...... That is, the person who designed to plot against me, I ...... Actually, I saw it. ”

Ye Yu paused, looked at Qi Yu and said.

"The guy who led me into the building...... It's a little girl, huh...... It is also related to the previous series of headless female corpse cases......"

"Lin Yutang."

Qi Yu suddenly said a name, which made Ye Yu stunned.

"You...... How do you know?? Ye Yu was dumbfounded.

"As I said, I see everything in the bureau. Including those things that you and Shinoru investigated in private. The smile on Qi Yu's face faded.

"You...... Want to stop me from investigating? Ye Yu cautiously probed.

"Heh, I won't stop you if you're going to investigate something. But I hate being hidden from someone. Qi Yu looked at Ye Yu and said. Since you are now my subordinate, I want you to know some of the most basic rules. ”

“…… I'm sorry. Ye Yu lowered his eyes. However, I don't think this headless female corpse case is over, I suspect that Lin Yutang is not dead, and there is even some conspiracy behind it......"

"But none of this has anything to do with you." Qi Yu interrupted Ye Yu's words. "For you, helping me catch that man in a military coat is already considered a successful retirement, and the rest is the work of the police department. You don't need to meddle. ”

"But...... What do you say about this time? Since that girl came to assassinate me, how could it be that she had nothing to do with me? Ye Yu anxiously argued.

"Maybe it's because you're too much of a manager that you're going to kill you." Qi Yu said coldly. "I've heard that you're a 'troublemaker', and it seems that the rumors are true."

"......" Ye Yu wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to speak for a while.

It's just because I'm investigating Lin Yutang's matter that I'm being targeted? No, it's not! It's not that simple!

"I've been very busy lately. There's really no time to put an end to the troubles you've caused. Qi Yu pinched his eyebrows and sighed softly. Just stay here in the meantime. ”

After Qi Yu finished speaking, he walked straight to the door.

"I'm not the only one investigating this matter, why did the other party only target me?!"

Qi Yu stopped again and looked at Ye Yu who suddenly questioned himself with an expressionless face.

"The other party's target is obviously me, and there is also a hatred that will not kill me, and there is only one organization that has tried to kill me in such a way before this!"

Ye Yu stared at Qi Yu, although his hands and feet couldn't move, but a sharp light crossed his eyes, and all the previous experiences gradually converged into a terrifying hypothesis in his mind-

"The hidden hand behind this incident...... I'm afraid it's 'devouring'!! ”――

"Zizi ......"

On the yellowed ceiling, a dilapidated white woven lamp hummed like hypnosis, and several moths fluttered around the bulb, making the light appear flickering and dimming, and the atmosphere of the cold prison was even more oppressive.

Under the light, a man was sitting on the concrete floor, tilting his head, staring at the moth that pounced on the white weaving lamp, silent.

Heavy shackles wrapped around the man's limbs, confined him to a corner of the cell; The man's sunken eyes were like two holes, lifeless, only a black hole-like emptiness; And there was no expression on his face covered with black scorched marks, or rather, he could no longer show any expression.

Overhead, bits of rain gradually pooled, drip by drop on the man's forehead along the cracks in the ceiling.

"Bang...... Smack...... Syllable! ”

A drop of water dripped into the man's eyes, and under the conditioned reflex, the sluggish man finally reacted a little, and between opening and closing his eyes, the world around him changed abruptly.

The white weaving lamp suddenly went out, and the cold prison suddenly fell into darkness, but the man did not feel any panic because of this, on the contrary, the sudden darkness injected some vitality into the lifeless him, like a walking corpse in the middle of the night.

The man blinked, and only after his eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness did he notice that in front of him, there seemed to be a person standing.

I saw a tall man wearing a white mask, looking down at him in silence.

"Jiang Yun."

Hearing the masked man call his name, the man seemed to be surprised for a moment, but soon, a contemptuous smile hooked the corner of his mouth, only to hear him snort softly, and a thin and strange voice slowly came out of his throat:

"Are you here to kill me......"

Jiang Yun sneered and stared at the masked man, his face seemed to show a mocking expression, but it could only become more and more hideous.

"Kill you? Hehe, I don't want to get my hands dirty. The masked man said coldly.

"Oh? Not to kill me...... You're here to pick me up? Jiang Yun suddenly changed his words. Hehehe, I can't imagine that at such a time, I still have the value of use......"

"Hmph, I think you're stupid enough to daydream like this. Committing such a crime, do you think you can get away with it? The masked man's words were merciless. But one thing you are right about, even if you are searched, you still have some usefulness. ”

The sneer on Jiang Yun's lips gradually smoothed out, and he stared at the masked man expressionlessly, and a sharp fierce light suddenly burst out in his originally lifeless eyes.

"Who the hell are you!" The shrill voice was full of vigilance.

"At least not on the same side as the group of people who searched your brain." The masked man didn't answer directly, he looked at the man sitting on the ground with eyes like vicious dogs, and sighed softly. "There are some things, the more you investigate, the more shocking it becomes, I can't imagine that the elite of the original 'dark department', the 'black wolf' Jiang Yun, will fall to this ......"

"......" Jiang Yun didn't speak, and after being silent for a long time, he suddenly sneered again.

"Hehehe...... No matter what kind of person you are, since you know me in the past, you should also know that I am not the kind of person who can be called at will, and if you want to get something from me, you have to get me out first! ”

"I'm sorry, I don't have time to negotiate a deal with you, and you're not qualified." The masked man paused, and said with a straight face.

"I don't have much time to buy, you only have two choices now, tell me the truth about that 'massacre' back then, or...... Take this grievance to the grave, and let the truth be buried in time forever. ”

“……! You...... You know what it was like back then......!?? The masked man's words obviously caught Jiang Yun off guard.

"Indiscriminate killing of innocent people in the line of duty...... That's why you were expelled from the Shadows and wanted. The masked man said calmly. However, as far as I know, the reason why you are really wanted is because of the attempted theft of the Blood Keystone, and the reason why you did this is probably the same as Zhou Jinping...... I think your body was already rotting, and the reason for the decay was a 'covert operation' many years ago. ”

The masked man stared at Jiang Yun, and the temperature in his words dropped suddenly.

"You were ...... back then What the hell did you do! (To be continued.) )
