Chapter 336: Chapter 337: Giving You a Shoulder Throw

Lin Qingzhu immediately crouched down, using his clothing as a form of concealment.

His gaze flickered uncertainly, and soon he quietly peered over to check on Wang Tao.

Wang Tao was looking around, his head continuously moving from side to side, but he did not notice Lin Qingzhu.

Lin Qingzhu crouched down and, through a gap in the clothing, confirmed Wang Tao’s position and began to move to another hiding spot.

No sooner had he moved to another place than Wang Tao also crouched down to observe through the gap under the clothing, finding nothing.

Wang Tao frowned and muttered quietly, "Where has this kid hidden? He’s so good at hiding, he couldn’t be in the cabinet, could he?"

"That’s not right, hiding in the cabinet is too obvious, he couldn’t possibly be in there..."

While Wang Tao was still mumbling, Lin Qingzhu had already started running towards the escalator exit.

Wang Tao took a few more steps and soon reached the end of the corridor, he thought for a moment and stood on top of a tall clothes cabinet, striking Sun Wukong’s classic pose of surveying from a high place.

Starting from the far west, he slowly swept his gaze toward the escalator exit.

Upon this sweep, Wang Tao couldn’t help but stare in surprise and exclaimed, "Damn!"

Cunning Lin Qingzhu, when had he stealthily positioned himself by the escalator exit?

Fortunately, if Lin Qingzhu were really the murderer, he couldn’t harm anyone other than the killer himself, so He Jinxia’s confrontation with him wasn’t overly dangerous. Otherwise, Wang Tao would have risked using all his skill to shout from there, urging He Jinxia to be cautious.

Wang Tao immediately jumped down from the cabinet and ran towards He Jinxia.

At the escalator exit, He Jinxia was still cautiously observing her surroundings.

Without the need for Wang Tao’s lion’s roar, she had already spotted Lin Qingzhu sneaking up.

The escalator exit was only so big; no matter how well one hid, the moment they tried to go down, they couldn’t remain hidden.

He Jinxia took a few steps forward, crossing her arms in front of her chest adopting a defensive stance, fully prepared.

Knowing he had been spotted, Lin Qingzhu no longer hid, appearing openly. Seeing her posture, he couldn’t help but be stunned.

"You..."

Do you really want to fight me?

That’s what Lin Qingzhu thought, but ultimately did not say it aloud.

Fighting with a woman, he believed, was not something he could bring himself to do—not a matter of strength or weakness, but of principle.

"Step aside, I won’t push your button," Lin Qingzhu said, looking at her.

He Jinxia shook her head, a confident smile crossing her face, "You can’t press my button because you are the murderer, and you can’t kill me."

Lin Qingzhu lied without hesitation, calmly stating, "I am not the murderer, it’s Ren Xiao, the troublemaker."

He Jinxia still maintained her stance, blocking his way, resolutely saying, "I don’t believe it, you are the murderer."

Lin Qingzhu tried to appear earnest, speaking earnestly, "You’ve got the wrong person."

He Jinxia’s eyes curved, the plump crescents below them evident as a sly look crossed her eyes, "I don’t believe it, we’ll just die together then."

Lin Qingzhu: "..."

He Jinxia changed her tone, smiling, "If you want me to think you’re not the murderer, hand over your card for me to see the keyword on it."

Lin Qingzhu reluctantly nodded, "Alright, alright, I truly am not the murderer, it’s Ren Xiao, the troublemaker you should watch out for. Be cautious of him, especially if Baoer ends up in his hands, it will likely end badly."

He Jinxia saw him hemming and hawing, his movements to hand over the card were very slow, which made her internally scoff: As if anyone would believe you!

If he really wasn’t the murderer, why conceal himself like this? Why not simply show the card?

Lin Qingzhu produced the card, with its back facing He Jinxia, so she still couldn’t see the text.

He subtly gathered strength in his legs, and just as the card was about to flip over, he darted out like a bolt of lightning!

As Lin Qingzhu ran out, Wang Tao’s shout also arrived, "Jinxia, his card reads ’detective’, the police kind of ’detective’, he’s the murderer, stop—"

With a loud "Bang!" Wang Tao was suddenly silenced.

Wang Tao ran over, staring at the scene before him and spat out the rest of his words in shock, "Stop, stop... him."

He Jinxia clapped her hands, flicked non-existent dust from her shoulder, and gave him a bow with a casual and comfortable attitude, "Mission accomplished, successfully stopped him."

Wang Tao looked at the person groaning on the ground, then back at He Jinxia, swallowed his words, and said awkwardly, "Just now you... "

He Jinxia nonchalantly shrugged, "Oh, I just did a shoulder throw."

Thinking of something, she laughed and said, "Don’t worry, I was very careful, he won’t end up with any fractures. He just needs to rub his muscles a bit after getting up, and he’ll be fine."

Wang Tao swallowed again, his lips twitching into a very stiff smile, and gave her a thumbs up, "Impressive, impressive!"

He Jinxia returned the gesture with clasped fists, "My apologies, my apologies."

"Who would have thought that despite looking frail, you are so skilled," Wang Tao exclaimed.

He Jinxia modestly replied, "Just a little trick, not worth mentioning!"

At that moment, a feeble groan came through, Lin Qingzhu was rubbing his aging waist, and pleaded, "Stop talking, will you please help me up, ow, my back!"

Wang Tao quickly helped him up, firmly pressing on the shoulder where the button was located, while He Jinxia stood beside them, intently watching Lin Qingzhu.

Should Lin Qingzhu make any sudden move, the two of them would immediately press the button and "kill" him.

The card on Lin Qingzhu also surfaced, indeed bearing the police "detective" symbol.

Wang Tao smiled and said, "I glanced at it when I was running over from behind, afraid I might have seen it wrong, but now, it’s clear, the murderer is indeed Qingzhu."

He heavily patted Qingzhu’s shoulder, with a tone of settling accounts after autumn, "Qingzhu, we’ve had such a long friendship, and yet today you had to scheme against me, that’s going too far!"

Last round, his proposal to find new clues was mercilessly rejected by Lin Qingzhu, who insisted on something like "the simplest is often the truth" and "the answer isn’t that complicated, it’s right beside us but no one believes it" among other reasons.

The traces of his attempts to cover his tracks were too blatant, suspicious at a glance.

A bitter smile lifted on Lin Qingzhu’s face, now that his "life" was in their hands, there was nothing he could say, but—

He looked at them, meaningfully stating, "Do you really think it’s just this simple?"

He Jinxia and Wang Tao exchanged glances, a bad premonition rising within them.

He Jinxia furrowed her brows and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Lin Qingzhu maintained a faint smile, only shaking his head without speaking.

Wang Tao furrowed his brows deeply and pondered out loud, "You are the murderer, and by capturing you, Baoer won’t be in danger, we’ve won this game."

As he finished speaking, a flat electronic voice suddenly transmitted through everyone’s earpieces:

"Warning! Victim Ouyang Baoer has been murdered! Warning! Victim Ouyang Baoer has been murdered! Warning, Victim Ouyang Baoer has been murdered!"
