Chapter 3483 - 3475: Level 1 Alert
Chapter 3483: Chapter 3475: Level 1 Alert
Seeing Lin Yi come out, the people standing outside were as if facing a formidable enemy, hardly daring to breathe.
Zhao Xiangyang was also quite frightened, standing beside Lin Yi and whispering:
"Lin Bro, did you really stab Peng Jianggang?"
"You guess."
Zhao Xiangyang grimaced in fear, feeling it was likely but also thinking Lin Yi wouldn’t dare do something so bold.
"Lin Bro, don’t scare me."
"Stop worrying about useless things, get to work."
Returning to the community, the two didn’t head to the west entrances again.
According to Ma Weiguo’s arrangement, they needed to patrol in the afternoon.
Zhao Xiangyang calmed down too, for he thought Lin Yi wouldn’t dare to stab someone.
After all, it’s a harmonious society now.
The two strolled around as they patrolled, Lin Yi looking everywhere, hoping to find noncompliant areas to address.
But came up empty-handed.
Are all the people in this community so well-behaved?
"Lin Bro, what are you looking at everywhere, as if you’re trying to catch a thief."
"I’m checking for noncompliant places."
"Huh? Should I interpret that as you finding something to do when there’s nothing to do?"
"Think bigger; when we take people’s money, we have to do their work."
"I feel like you’re interested in some female homeowner and are looking for her here."
"Get lost," Lin Yi said:
"When idle, you gotta find something to do."
"Then let’s go inside the building, check the fire safety equipment, and look for clutter in the stairways and fire escape corridors."
"Let’s go."
Unbothered, they casually picked a building and walked up the stairs.
Intending to see if there were any unreasonable places.
They climbed up to the 24th floor.
But only encountered small issues; if they nitpicked, it’d be like finding bones in an egg, all minor and trivial matters.
After inspecting a building, they found a place to slack off.
Ring ring ring—
Just then, Lin Yi’s phone rang.
The caller’s name was Huang Wenxu.
Lin Yi’s expression suddenly changed; Ji Qingyan’s safety was his responsibility.
Calling him usually meant trouble.
"What’s up?"
"Leader, we’re near the kindergarten and spotted that suspicious person again."
"I’m heading over now, stay in contact by phone."
"Alright."
After hanging up, Lin Yi stood up.
"I need to go out for a bit; if anyone asks, please excuse my absence."
"You’ve just started working and already taking leave; that’s not great."
"It’s okay, dock my pay at will."
Not daring to waste any time, Lin Yi didn’t even change clothes, hurriedly left, got into his car, and drove toward the kindergarten.
He ran red lights all the way, reaching the kindergarten in less than 20 minutes, then got into Huang Wenxu’s car.
"Where’s the person?"
"Not here now," Huang Wenxu said:
"He’s clever, doesn’t stay here constantly, but occasionally passes by, especially when kids are playing outside, the frequency increases."
"Let’s swap positions."
Without further words, Huang Wenxu got out and switched positions with Lin Yi, letting him sit in the driver’s seat.
Lin Yi checked the time; it was 3:30, and half an hour later, the kindergarten would be finished for the day.
Now, nanny cars were arriving one after another.
Probably another ten or twenty minutes before Ji Qingyan arrives.
"There!"
Huang Wenxu exclaimed, pointing at a narrow path beside the kindergarten, "It’s that person in black clothes with a mask."
Lin Yi looked over.
The person’s attire was odd, dirty clothes, long messy hair covered in various things.
Looked like a disorderly mental patient.
Such a person appearing among crowds would cause everyone to keep their distance and avoid eye contact.
Lin Yi stared at him intensely, noticing he merely passed by the kindergarten entrance.
Yet his gaze occasionally glanced inside the kindergarten.
He didn’t linger much, just glanced several times, passed the fence, and disappeared down another path.
"Did you attempt to investigate?"
"No," Huang Wenxu replied:
"We fear he’s bait; if we get out, those lurking might discover us, making it harder to catch them."
"You learned well from Brother Shan, truly capable."
"Thanks, leader."
Checking the time, another ten minutes passed, Lin Yi dialed Mo Hongshan.
"Brother Shan, there’s an issue here, need your assistance."
"Just say it."
"Send someone to watch Wenxuan Bridge, from Sanhe Road toward Hai Chuan Street."
"I heard from Xiao Huang, seems like something happened on your end, need road closures?"
"The situation is unclear for now, no need for big moves," Lin Yi said:
"Just watch for me, close off the road if necessary."
"Alright."
Wenxuan Bridge is the way home; after crossing, it’s a few hundred meters before reaching home.
If something happens, it’s the best spot for action.
Lin Yi sat in the car, unmoving, observing the outside situation.
Near dismissal time, kindergarten kids came out to play, awaiting their parents.
Around 3:50, Lin Yi spotted Ji Qingyan in casual attire outside the kindergarten, waving at Little Nuonuo.
But Little Nuonuo was playing joyously with other kids, completely ignoring her.
The situation was special; Lin Yi wasn’t in the mood to engage with the mother and daughter, his gaze locked on the right-side path of the kindergarten.
That beggar-like person appeared again.
This time, his pace was slower, watching longer.
Lin Yi astutely noticed his gaze seemed to switch between Ji Qingyan and Nuonuo.
During this, he didn’t stop, only slowed significantly.
Ring ring ring—
Just then, the kindergarten bell rang.
Kids dropped their toys, and under the teacher’s guidance lined up, each recognized and claimed by parents.
Ji Qingyan quickly fetched Nuonuo, holding her hand, boarded their nanny car, and left among many vehicles.
Coincidentally, Lin Yi saw a minivan tail Ji Qingyan’s car.
Without hesitation, Lin Yi started his car, not following behind, but overtaking Ji Qingyan’s car and observing the van’s actions via the rearview mirror.
Throughout, Lin Yi occasionally slowed down, switched lanes, gauging the van behind.
It consistently followed, without leaving.
The distance was just right, ensuring the target wasn’t lost and maintaining great secrecy.
Sitting inside must be a skilled expert.
Quickly, the vehicle reached Wenxuan Bridge.
Lin Yi squinted and dialed Mo Hongshan.
"Brother Shan, Level 1 alert!"
