Chapter 86 Secret Weapons Are Poisonous
Lin Ye closed the file and looked at Yan Xiangzhen.
"Uncle Yan, wasn't there a moon wheel emblem back then? Why wasn't it recorded?"
Yan Xiangzhen glanced at the file. "It wasn't written? I didn't notice."
"This file was written by Old Li back then, who is now the police chief."
Lin Ye nodded without saying anything.
The Moon Wheel Chapter appeared at the scene, then mysteriously disappeared, and the case was shelved.
It was probably done by the Bai Yue family, who then used the bombing as a cover-up.
Just then, Yan Yi suddenly looked at Yan Xiangzhen with a somewhat cold gaze.
"Dad, how many things are you still hiding from me? Do you really want me to die without knowing why?"
Yan Xiangzhen's gaze towards his daughter became somewhat evasive.
"I...I didn't! Daddy never intended to harm you!"
Yan Yi looked at Yan Xiangzhen without saying anything, just staring at him.
Half a minute later, Yan Xiangzhen lowered his head and sighed.
"Your mother knows about this. In fact, we discussed it with her before deciding to do it."
"Actually, it was originally the Nuo Snake God Cult, which is the cult that has recently been rumored to have entered the country."
"They were the ones who first approached me and wanted to work with me."
"Give me the complete secret martial arts lineage if I can help them cover up the disappearances."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Yi lost her balance and leaned against the door, the door frame slamming against the wall with a loud bang.
"Dad! How...how could you?!"
She never imagined that her upright father would do such a thing.
Yan Xiangzhen looked pained and lowered his head.
"Xiaoyi, I didn't want to either, but... but it's a secret martial arts tradition!"
"That's a secret martial arts lineage! Not some ordinary martial art like the Spirit Thread Fist, it's true secret martial arts!"
"Do you know that becoming a secret martial artist is like ascending to heaven in one step!"
He suddenly raised his head, his expression turning slightly red, but when he saw Yan Yi's eyes, he was startled and lowered his head in shame.
"But... I just didn't expect that you were also one of their targets."
Neither the father nor the daughter spoke again, and Lin Ye looked at Yan Xiangzhen.
"What about the bombing? How did it get involved?"
Yan Xiangzhen pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "I'm not quite sure either."
"That day, they asked me to bring them the complete case file of the bombing."
"But then, for some reason, they suddenly attacked me."
"However, after you deduced that there were two religions that day, I guessed that it might not have been the Nuo Snake Cult that was behind it."
"They left behind the Moon Wheel emblem, so they must be members of the Moon Wheel Cult."
Lin Ye shook his head slightly upon hearing this, "Not necessarily."
"Perhaps what you encountered from the very beginning was the Nuo Snake Cult disguised as the Moon Wheel Cult."
"It's always been just the Moon Wheel Cult putting on a show."
Two key points.
The first point is that the real Nuo Snake God Cult isn't even afraid of the Red Whale Cult, so they don't need Yan Xiangzhen's help to cover anything up.
In their eyes, even Yan Xiangzhen himself was no different from an ordinary person, and was even less than a sacrificial offering.
Secondly, he knew that the Moon Wheel Cult was actually composed of the Bai Yue family from Haishan City.
Even if the Nuoshe God Cult were to seek Yan Xiangzhen's help, the reward they would offer would not be secret martial arts.
Only secret martial arts forces like the Baiyue family would habitually say such things.
With this in mind, Lin Ye's thoughts gradually became clear.
The Bai Yue family may have initially wanted Yan Xiangzhen to help cover things up so they could use the Nuoshe God Cult's name to kidnap furnace vessels.
After all, they are an outside secret martial arts force. If they are discovered by the local secret martial arts forces in Coastal City, it could cause a lot of trouble.
However, the Nuo Snake Cult later became associated with the Dark Predator because of the altar, which led to the bombing and the truth behind the coffee shop owner's death.
This touched a nerve with the Bai Yue family, so they made an emergency break and abandoned Yan Xiangzhen.
The reason why the moon wheel seal was left for Yan Xiangzhen was perhaps to deliberately send a message to certain people, expressing that they did not want to participate in this matter.
On the other side, Yan Xiangzhen's mind went blank when he heard Lin Ye's guess.
"This, this..."
He could hardly believe it; how could these guys be so sneaky?
Lin Ye nodded. "You'll know once you try it."
"Uncle Yan, you should still remember the location of the Nuo Snake Cult's stronghold, right?"
"If we can find your family's bronze mask there."
"This means that the Nuo Snake Cult that initially came into contact with Uncle Yan was actually a member of the Moon Wheel Cult in disguise."
Yan Xiangzhen was taken aback, then slowly nodded after thinking for a moment.
Indeed, it was the Moon Wheel Cult that took the bronze mask that night, and if the mask is found at the Nuo Snake Cult's stronghold, it would prove this point.
"They are located upstream on the Qingshui River in the suburbs, about 300 meters uphill from the waterfall, where there is a hidden cave..."
Lin Ye noted down the location; he knew the Qingshui River and had roughly determined the location of the cave.
"Then there's no time to lose, I'll go take a look right now."
If we can really find that bronze mask, I wonder if there will be a complete "Qi" on it?
It must be at least a lord-level ingredient, right?
After he left, Yan Yi stood silently in the bedroom.
After a while, she looked at her father and said, "Dad, I'm going to practice my boxing. Call me if you need anything."
Yan Xiangzhen opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.
"Go ahead, and don't be too hard on yourself."
Yan Yi pursed her lips. "I understand."
After she left, Yan Xiangzhen leaned against the bedside table, staring blankly at the ceiling.
"Secret Weapon...it's poisonous..."
He regretted it; over the years, he had seen countless people die for the sake of secret weapons.
Among them are many masters of earthquake-level control, and some have even mastered earthquake-level control to the point of achieving perfect circularity.
If I hadn't agreed back then...
He shook his head. He had no choice; he had no choice from the very beginning.
Whether or not it is the real Nuoshe God Cult, he has no way to resist it.
When those people approached him, he had no other choice.
If it weren't for Lin Ye's unexpected intrusion, the ending would have been predetermined long ago.
Ordinary people are too insignificant in the face of extraordinary forces.
......
In the suburbs, the woods and fields stretched along a river that wasn't very wide.
Not long after, he crossed a waterfall and stopped after walking more than 300 meters.
Looking at the cave in front of him, Lin Ye curled his lips in exasperation.
In the dense jungle, several large trees grow symmetrically, like a gateway, with a cave right in the center of the gateway.
So, where exactly is it hidden?
Isn't this just because they're afraid others won't be able to find it?
Looking inside the cave, it wasn't dark even with the weak night vision.
After scanning the area and confirming that there were no cameras or similar devices around, he stopped and entered the cave.
After turning a few corners, Lin Ye stopped behind a stone wall and cautiously peeked out.
???
He emerged from behind the stone wall and looked at the cave in front of him, which now consisted of only a few broken wooden tables.
Have they already abandoned this outpost?
He sighed with some disappointment and was about to leave when his gaze suddenly fell on the wooden shelf on the other side of the wall.
