The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 196

[Chapter 196: Poor Assassin]

“Sure enough, there is something, Lin Kang, how did you know?”

Lei Ting asked in shock. Who

could have thought that this thing was hidden in the boots! “Hehe, the young master taught me before, don’t tell anyone, this is our secret!”

Lin Kang smiled and explained.

This is a good place for Lin Tian to hide his private money, and most people would not tell him.

At the beginning, Lin Kang said what’s the use of knowing this, he doesn’t have any private money now.

Now it really comes in handy, Lin Kang admires his young master even more.

“Ahem, come and see what it is, it’s almost stinking, has this assassin not washed his feet for several years!”

Song Zijie said with disgust, his nose was crooked by the fumes.

“Leidian, come on, such an important thing is handed over to you!”

Lei Ting covered his nose and said vaguely to Lei Dian on the side.

“Why do you want me? You took off your boots, of course you have to come, I won’t compete with you for the credit!”

Lei Dian waved his hand and refused. No one wanted to see the pile of papers that exuded a foul smell.

Just as everyone was pushing and shoving, an old voice came from behind.

“Let me do it. I’m old, my nose is not working well, and I don’t care about these things!”

It turned out that the old man came, and he also felt guilty about Lin Tian.

Lin Tian saved his life, and now he is under the protection of the Lin family, and he has just come back from the gates of hell.

Lin Kang was about to speak out to stop him, but the old man’s hand had already touched the pile of papers. The old man shook the pile of papers, and another stench came.

The old man frowned and continued to flip the papers, trying to find clues.

Seeing that an old man didn’t care about these, everyone felt a little guilty and stopped hiding far away.

“Lei Ting, go and see if Miss Lu and the others are asleep, and ask them for some incense powder to cover the smell!”

Lin Kang said to Lei Ting who was standing aside. He had difficulty walking, so he had to let Lei Ting go.

After a while, Lei Ting came over with a box of incense powder and sprinkled a handful of it on the pile of papers, so that the smell was not so bad.

Everyone could see clearly that most of them were banknotes, but they were all a bit tattered. It seemed that the assassin was a frugal person.

There was an envelope inside the banknotes. The old man opened the envelope and took out a piece of letter paper full of words.

“Look, I don’t know too many words!”

The old man handed out the letter. Everyone looked at Song Zijie, because he was the only one who knew more words among the few people here.

Song Zijie had no choice but to take it and took a look at the letter.

It turned out to be not a letter, but something like a contract.

It said who asked him to assassinate the old man and the arrested yamen runner, and even Lin Tian, as well as their specific locations and the price for a successful assassination.

If the above is not enough to know who it is, because it is entirely possible to change the name, or say it is a duplicate name, but there are fingerprints printed below, and there are two red seals.

Song Zijie recognized that one was Zhu Jinquan’s private seal, because his name was engraved on it, and there was another seal that could not be seen.

But don’t worry, the assassin is not dead yet, just wake him up and ask him and you will know.

Lei Dian went to get a basin of cold water and poured it on the assassin, because the assassin’s clothes were stripped and he woke up from the cold.

When the assassin woke up, he used his tongue to push the poison sac in the molar, and found that even the molar had been pulled out. Then he wanted to bite his tongue to commit suicide, but there was a cloth strip in his mouth, so he couldn’t bite it at all.

“Don’t struggle, it’s useless, be honest, confess and be lenient, resist and be strict!”

Lin Kang threatened fiercely with a stern face.

“I think you are also a poor man, you don’t even want to spend money, then why do you make this money?”

Song Zijie held up the tattered banknotes and said to the assassin with some sympathy.

The assassin’s job is to lick blood on the edge of the knife. Basically, they have a life to make money but not a life to spend. There is no one like him who hides the banknotes until they are rotten and is reluctant to spend them.

“We have obtained the evidence of who ordered your assassination. Whether there is your confession or not, it has no effect on us!”

Lin Kang said slowly, holding up the letter to show the assassin.

“If you cooperate well, maybe we can spare your life. If you don’t know what’s good for you, don’t blame us for being rude!”

“You’ve made so much money and you’re reluctant to spend it. I guess you have someone at home. You have to do this job. A prodigal son who returns is more valuable than gold!”

Song Zijie pretended to sympathize and comforted the assassin.

Lin Kang and Song Zijie played the good cop and the bad cop respectively. The assassin seemed to be “moved” by them. Tears suddenly flowed from the corners of his eyes, his nose was sniffing, and his snot flowed.

Men don’t shed tears easily, but they just haven’t reached the point of being sad.

For a dead soldier to shed sad tears, there must be something particularly uncomfortable.

“Let’s take the cloth away. Don’t think about committing suicide. Think about your family!”

Song Zijie saw that he seemed to be persuaded, so he spoke.

The assassin nodded, and Lei Ting took the cloth out of his mouth, but held his chin to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide.

“I can testify for you, but you have to promise me to take care of my old blind mother!”

The assassin said with tears in his eyes.

“I have no choice but to do this job. I don’t care if I die, but you have to give this money to my mother!”

As a dead assassin, if the mission fails, not only will he not end his life, but he will also expose the identity of his client. He will be hunted down by all assassins and have no chance of survival.

Now he can only hope that these people can help him take care of his old mother. This is the only way for him now!

“Okay, as long as you can testify in court and identify the mastermind behind the scenes, we will definitely help you take care of your mother!”

Seeing that he was willing to testify in court, Song Zijie also promised to take care of his mother for his poor sake. After all, the old man did nothing wrong.

“Tell us everything that happened, don’t leave anything out!”

Lin Kang said expressionlessly.

“Oh, by the way, the people in the cell, the two yamen runners, and your young master, I poisoned the water!”

The assassin suddenly remembered and said hurriedly.

When Lin Kang heard this, the expression on his face changed all of a sudden.

“Quick, Lei Ting, go to the cell to remind the young master!”

Lin Kang said to Lei Ting anxiously. He himself was not well yet and could not run fast, so he could only shout to Lei Ting. When

Lei Ting heard this, he ran out immediately, dodging the patrolling officers and soldiers all the way, came to the cell, and sneaked in while the jailer was drowsy.

“Young master, be careful, the water is poisonous!”

Lei Ting said to Lin Tian who was sleeping on the bed.

“Oh, it’s Lei Ting, it doesn’t matter, I already know!”
