Don't worry, let me start a game first

Lin Qianxing would never go to such a beautiful place to meet him just by hearing about it.

However, Lin Qianxing guessed that Tan Lian also knew that he would definitely not meet him there, so he probably planned to ask Lin Qianxing to give him a new meeting place when the time came.

Lin Qianxing hesitated for a long time about returning to Kyoto, not knowing whether he should go or not.

He is a thief to begin with, and even if Linglong Yudan's case is investigated clearly, he will still be a thief who can't see the light of day.

So there was no need for him to take the risk.

But Lin Qianxing was a little unwilling.

He didn't want to just take the blame and run away for the rest of his life.

So he faced two choices.

The first one is to slowly improve your strength until you can ignore the pursuit of the Anti-Crime Department.

The second one is to participate in the investigation, find out what happened to Linglong Yudan as soon as possible, and get rid of the fate of being entangled by the Anti-Crime Department.

The theft of exquisite jade gallbladders may require a wanted warrant and arrange for the arrest of the Anti-Crime Department to take action, but it is not necessary if it is just to catch a small thief.

Then he could sleep in a bed again instead of in a cave, sit at the dinner table and eat hot meals instead of eating dry food and stolen cold cooked food in the wilderness.

Lin Qianxing is not an impatient person, but he has been waiting for almost three months.

It was already late September, and the weather where he was was starting to get cooler from hot.

He really couldn't imagine the miserable situation he would be in when he slept in the wilderness in the winter.

I can't bear it anymore. Isn't it just stealing something in the capital?

Now he is no longer a "half-wing" who can only climb the courtyard wall, but a "flying dove" that can come and go freely in the sky. Isn't it easy to steal something?

As a result, Lin Qianxing began to return to the location of Wuding City in Kyoto.

He went straight and returned to Kyoto in less than three days.

This was because he took a short rest in the middle. Otherwise, with Lin Qianxing's full firepower, one day would be enough to reach the location.

After arriving at the location, Lin Qianxing informed Tan Lian.

Tan Lian and he agreed to meet at noon.

When Tan Lian arrived at the location, Lin Qianxing found that no one was following him, so he used a flying knife to notify him to meet at the designated place.

The meeting place agreed by Lin Qianxing was by a small river, surrounded by flat land. There were no obstacles and it was difficult to set up an ambush.

When Tan Lian arrived at the location, he saw Lin Qianxing's figure appearing on the other side of the river.

"You are too cautious." Tan Lian said speechlessly.

"Have you never been poisoned by anyone? Have you ever been trapped in a trap? Have you ever been ambushed? In the past two months, I have encountered it more than a dozen times!" Lin Qianxing said with some exaggeration. .

In fact, he only encountered one ambush and one poisoning. Then he became vigilant and did not even go to the city to rest. Since then, no one has been able to use underhanded tactics to trick him.

Tan Lian was silent for a while, then said: "Now that we are here, let's talk about business!"

"I don't intend to talk nonsense." Lin Qianxing said.

"I guess the Linglong Jade Gallbladder is in the hands of Tian Shouping, the deputy commander of the Anti-Crime Department. You should go to his residence and look for it to see if the item is in his home," Tan Lian said.

"What is his cultivation level?" Lin Qianxing asked.

"The great achievement of refining the gods." Tan Lian said as calmly as possible.

Lin Qianxing raised his eyebrows, and then said: "I remembered that I had something else to do, so I left first!"

Just kidding, after the body tempering realm comes the god refining realm. He doesn’t even dare to touch the body tempering master. When he encounters a master who has mastered the god refinement, will he go up and give it to him?

"Don't worry, you won't run into him head-on. I found out that every night on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, he would go to the palace and play chess with the Holy Master. It's okay." Tan Lian quickly stopped him.

"You know such a secret thing?" Lin Qianxing was a little surprised and asked, "Can you tell me the details of the case you investigated?"

Tan Lian nodded and said, "I started investigating what happened in the palace on the fifth day of July."

"Later I investigated and found out that that night, there was a flood in Xuanru Hall, and a large number of guards went to Xuanru Hall to put out the fire. Coincidentally, at that time, the Holy Sage was playing chess with Deputy Commander Tian with exquisite jade gallbladders in Xuanru Hall. When he saw the fire When he got up, he handed the exquisite jade gallbladder to the imperial eunuch Jiang Chamberlain and asked him to take it back and keep it, along with a palace maid named He Hua and two guards from the Qixuan Army."

"The exquisite jade was not missing even when Chamberlain Jiang took it back to the imperial prison. It was not until the next day that anyone discovered that the item was missing."

"At the beginning, I didn't think about Vice Commander Tian. Firstly, it was unrealistic to steal the exquisite jade in front of the Holy Master. Secondly, he shouldn't do such a thing until I investigated the leakage of Xuanru Palace. , I accidentally looked up a name.”

Having said this, Tan Lian paused slightly.

Lin Qianxing was shocked by Tan Lian's ability to investigate the case and asked, "What's your name?"

"Tian Xuanru!" Tan Lian replied: "A concubine who was once extremely favored by the emperor was accidentally killed by the emperor because she was involved in a case in the palace. In order to commemorate her, a palace where she lived during her lifetime was named Xuanru. temple."

"Is she related to Tian Shouping?" Lin Qianxing asked.

"Yes, she is Deputy Commander Tian's biological sister." Tan Lian said.

"So, Tian Shouping's ability to reach the position of deputy commander of the Anti-Crime Department is also related to the death of his sister? Is this the Holy Spirit's compensation for him?" Lin Qianxing said suddenly.

"Not entirely, he is indeed very capable. At least as far as I know, since he took office, many old cases in the capital have been easily handled by him, and he has always been selfless. He has never heard of accepting bribes. You know, even the commander-in-chief has more or less collected things from others." Tan Lian retorted.

"Even so, how did you connect the two things together?" Lin Qianxing asked.

"The palace has always taken good precautions against flooding. The last time there was a flooding in the palace was more than a hundred years ago. In addition to the Holy Emperor, the only person in Xuanru Hall who can come and go freely is Deputy Commander Tian." Tan Lian said.

"It is impossible for the Holy One to burn down the Xuanru Temple, so Tian Shouping has a problem?" Lin Qianxing said suddenly: "He caused a fire, attracted attention, and took the opportunity to arrange for someone to steal the exquisite jade gallbladder. At the same time, because he has been following the Holy One , and removed the motive for committing the crime."

"That's pretty much it. Besides, besides the Imperial Prisoner, Deputy Commander Tian has the most contact with the Holy Linglong Jade Gallbladder, so he is also the most likely to steal the Linglong Jade Gallbladder." Tan Lian nodded.

"What do you think that thing is used for?" Lin Qianxing asked.

"I don't know, but I did find out its origin from ancient books." Tan Lian said.

"Tell me about it." Lin Qianxing said.

"Five tripods are made of sacred gold and precious jade, but one part of the pure heart is left behind. Skilled craftsmen carve and leave jade pills, and the yin and yang are combined into one exquisite number." Tan Lian opened his mouth and spat out a poem.

"What does this poem mean?" Lin Qianxing blinked, not understanding the allusion.

"Do you know the origin of Wuding City?" Tan Lian asked.

Lin Qianxing shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"At the beginning of the founding of our country, Emperor Taizu of our Dayu Kingdom collected rare materials from all over the world and built five tripods to suppress the fate of Dayu Country. These five tripods are the Mountains and Rivers tripod, the Ten Thousand Beasts tripod, the rivers tripod, and the Humanity tripod. As well as the Changnong Tripod, each tripod has a corresponding mysterious power, which made the Dayu Kingdom prosperous at that time. The place where the Five Tripods were cast was here, so it was called the Five Tripod City." At this point, Tan Lian paused for a moment, then continued: "And that exquisite jade gallbladder is a toy carved out of the materials left over from the time when the Five Cauldrons were cast. Now that the five tripods have been lost, this exquisite jade gallbladder has been passed down. "

Lin Qianxing was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He didn't expect that there was such a legendary story about the origin of the name of Wuding City.

What made him even more unexpected was that the exquisite jade gallbladder was actually made from leftover materials left over from the founding of Wuding.

It’s not easy to think about the scraps of Wuding that can suppress a country’s luck, right?

No wonder the emperor of Dayu was so angry when something was lost.

But compared to this, Lin Qianxing's view of Tan Lian was refreshed again.

He also knew that even if Tan Lian was covered by the skin of the Anti-Crime Department, he would definitely not be allowed to investigate the secret information in the palace, let alone know some small details about the emperor.

It can only be said that Tan Lian's ability to handle cases and investigate matters is indeed very powerful.

"In that case, when should I act and where should I act?" Lin Qianxing asked.

"There are still two days until the fifth day of October. If you come back later, you will probably have to wait until next month before taking action." Tan Lian said, took out a map and placed it on the ground, pressing it down with a stone. Then he said: "This is the map I drew in the inner city of Kyoto. The residence of Vice Commander Tian is marked on it. He will be inspected when he enters the palace to meet the Holy Lord, so he will not bring anything with him, so you go there on the fifth day of October. A search of his house will reveal whether it is the exquisite jade gallbladder he stole."

"What if the thing is at his place?" Lin Qianxing asked.

"You inform me directly and I will take people in to search. As long as we find the exquisite jade gallbladder, everything will be easy to handle." Tan Lian said.

"Are you so reckless? Aren't you afraid that I will be greedy for something, or lie that there is Linglong Jade in it to trick you?" Lin Qianxing asked.

Tan Lian shook his head and said: "You dare not and cannot do this. We are now grasshoppers on a rope. Once something happens to me, I will definitely tell you about killing Feng Jie as soon as possible, and then With the methods of the Anti-Crime Department, it will be easy to find you..."

"You're right, I really can't do this." Lin Qianxing nodded.

Tan Lian glanced at Lin Qianxing. He actually had something he didn't say, which was that he felt that the Holy Emperor already knew that Tian Shouping had stolen the exquisite jade gallbladder, and he was just pretending not to know.

But there was no need to say this out loud. He was afraid that if he did, Lin Qianxing would not dare to take the risk given his courage.

"You already know the matter, so let's do it. I'll go back first." Tan Lian said hello and planned to leave.

"Wait!" Lin Qianxing called out to Tan Lian and said, "Um, do you know how to forge bones?"
