Chapter 128 The Power of the "Book of Prophecy"
Ever since the man appeared at the bank entrance, Wu Zheng was convinced that everything Lin Xi had foreseen was true.
So, it's absolutely true that he's going to rob a bank.
"You have an electronic alarm clock in your backpack, don't you?"
The man scoffed, "So what? Is there a rule against bringing an alarm clock out?"
"I plan to put it in a corner of the bank and pretend it's an electronic bomb."
The man's eyelids twitched, and he immediately retorted, "No!"
"You have an accomplice."
"He's a wanted criminal."
"He has a gun."
"You've decided to carry out the robbery tomorrow before the bank closes for the day."
"The plan to rob the bank was devised by the wanted criminal."
……
Yan Feng and Wu Zheng didn't give him a chance to argue. They went back and forth, explaining the robbery plan in detail.
She even revealed that the man originally didn't want to be caught, but was instigated by the wanted criminal, who told him not to be afraid of being caught, that the police were nothing, and that they hadn't caught him in all these years.
After robbing the bank, the two went abroad to enjoy themselves.
The man was utterly shocked and furious. He was certain that the wanted criminal had framed him; otherwise, how would the police know so many details?
His face contorted with rage, he shouted, "I'm going to report him! Arrest him right now! He orchestrated everything!..."
Wu Zheng and Yan Feng exchanged a glance, then quietly put away the "prophecy book" under the table, their faces beaming with smiles.
This feeling is so amazing!
The wanted criminal was just as bewildered as a man when he was arrested, followed by overwhelming rage: "You bastard! You betrayed me! I genuinely considered him my underling..."
In the original outcome of this case, the fake bomb the man had planted was discovered by bank employees, who assumed the gun was also fake and refused to cooperate.
Seeing that no one was afraid of him and still wanted to arrest him, the wanted criminal opened fire in a fit of rage, killing a bank employee and a customer who was mocking him.
Although the police arrived in time and successfully arrested the suspects, two precious lives were lost, and the loss was irreparable.
In the news report, the long-haired man's face was blurred, but Lin Xi remembered his attire and long hair, which led to this early arrest.
The fates of the bank clerk and the customer were forever changed...
The "prophecy" was confirmed, and Yan Feng and Wu Zheng came to Niulanshan's office. "Director, we've come to give you a magic weapon..."
The reason the two trusted Niulanshan was that Niulanshan trusted Lin Xi more than anyone else, treating her like a goddess and being her faithful follower. Therefore, the two were not worried that if the director knew about this, it would be detrimental to the girl.
After a long pause, Niu Lanshan's hand holding the paper trembled slightly. He glared at Yan Feng and said, "Such an important thing! You...you just casually put it in your pocket!"
"Come on, memorize the next case."
Wu Zheng: "Director, is it okay if I copy this down?"
"no!"
Half an hour later, Niulanshan smoothed out the creases on the paper, put it in the document bag, and then put the document bag in the safe.
"Remember, don't talk nonsense. After you finish this case, come back to me and memorize the next one."
With wry smiles on their faces, Wu Zheng and Yan Feng left the office and immediately took out paper and pen to write down the details of the case, afraid that they would forget it in the next second.
Actually, they have a very good memory, but they deal with too many cases every day, and over time, it's easy for them to get overwhelmed with too many things to remember.
On the other side, Xiao Ran was also painstakingly memorizing the "prophecy book".
He can't exactly hand the stationmaster a piece of paper and read aloud what dream he had yesterday.
Just as he was hiding in the corner, arguing vehemently, there was a knock on the door. "Captain, the station chief is looking for you."
He glanced at it one last time and then hid the paper.
Inside the office, station manager Li Gang looked at Xiao Ran with a grin, "Little Xiao, did you sleep well last night? Did you have any dreams?"
Xiao Ran said in a serious tone, "Stationmaster, I dreamt about..."
"Okay, then go now..."
After Xiao Ran left, Li Gang started humming a song.
He hadn't believed in such things before, but reality gave him a resounding slap in the face.
The last time Xiao Ran dreamed that Yuanmeng Community was on fire, he received a distress call the next day. The cause of the fire was exactly the same as what Xiao Ran had dreamed about.
If he had trusted Xiao Ran and made arrangements in advance, this fire could have been completely avoided.
So, ever since then, he has made it a habit to ask Xiao Ran every day if he had a dream.
Subsequently, cases and fires continued to occur in Danbei City, but the probability dropped sharply, earning praise from higher authorities.
Lin Xi also gained a lot from this, and received system reminders from time to time.
Preventing a bank robbery, saving two lives, and curbing the arrogance of criminals... Reward: 15,000 Love Coins.
A fire was prevented, three lives were saved, and property damage was avoided... A reward of 25,000 Love Coins will be given.
……
The afterglow of the setting sun filtered through the willow trees and fell on the stone table in the courtyard, where a sliced watermelon sat, its red flesh and black seeds glistening with raindrops.
Lin Guojun lay on a bamboo chair, half-closing his eyes as he watched his granddaughter practice boxing. Her movements were crisp and clean, her little fists were powerful and swift, and every move was precise and skillful.
Lin Guiying fanned herself with a palm leaf fan, her eyes full of affection. "Old man, how long has it been? The watermelon won't be cold in a little while."
"Hehe, it's been almost an hour, it'll be over soon."
It's common knowledge in the Lin family that Lin Xi practices boxing for an hour every day. At first, her awkward movements gave Lin Guojun a headache, but now he watches his granddaughter practice for as long as she wants.
If it weren't for my age, I'd like to learn a few tricks; who doesn't dream of being a martial arts hero?
Xiao Yi reminded him in his mind, "Host, time's up!"
Lin Xi, panting heavily, took off her boxing gloves.
Lin Guiying picked up a washed towel from the table and wiped the child's sweat. "You're becoming more and more like a tomboy. Your sister Lin Jing is learning to dance, but you're doing the same thing every day, learning how to beat people up."
Xiao Yi: "Host can learn to dance if they want."
Lin Xi: "Never mind, boxing is fine."
I didn't like it at first, but now I'm getting more and more addicted. I feel itchy if I don't practice for a day.
Lin Guojun picked up a slice of watermelon and handed it to his granddaughter, saying, "I think boxing is good; it strengthens the body and can also help you protect yourself."
Lin Guiying nodded, "That's good. We can practice dancing together too. A few days ago, a group of people came to the village and set up a stage to perform. I saw that the young girl danced so beautifully. If I weren't too old, I would like to learn from her."
Lin Xi spat out a watermelon seed. "Grandma, you can learn now too."
"No, no, I'm too old for that. What kind of talk would that be? Besides, my heart can't take it."
It's okay, Grandma. Next time we save up enough Love Coins, we'll buy you a Qi-Strengthening Pill.
Lately, she's been checking the system's online store whenever she has free time, and if she had a shopping cart, it would probably be full by now.
Besides the Enlightenment Pill, the one I most want to buy is the Vitality-Strengthening Pill.
Grandpa and Grandma are so old and have many chronic ailments. Gu Yuan Dan can repair hidden ailments and restore vitality, making it most suitable for the elderly.
As I was thinking, a system notification sounded in my ear.
