Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1514

After knocking on the teahouse door, he threw a silver ingot into the innkeeper's arms and simultaneously showed the token representing his identity as a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

This was originally made by Zhu Biao to make things easier for Shen Lin and his team, and now it's coming in handy.

Meanwhile, the teahouse owner was stunned when he saw the Embroidered Uniform Guard token. Why would the Embroidered Uniform Guard come to his door in the middle of the night?

However, when he saw the silver ingot that Shen Lin had given him, he understood that this person was not there to arrest him, but simply to ask for his cooperation.

Relieved, the shopkeeper quickly handed the silver back to Shen Lin; how could he dare accept money from the Imperial Guards!

"Sir, just tell me what you need me to do. No need for money, I would never accept your money!"

"Just take it. Once you've received the money, don't look at it, ask about it, or think about anything else. Go back to your room and get some sleep!"

Shen Lin did not take the money back, but simply responded before leading Lu Hu and the other man up the stairs.

But this was a spur-of-the-moment decision; I hadn't scouted the place beforehand, and I only knew of the existence of this teahouse from my memory.

It wasn't until Shen Lin went upstairs that he realized the area of ​​the teahouse facing the old woman was completely blocked off.

Left with no other choice, they went to the teahouse owner again and borrowed a ladder from him, preparing to climb onto the roof of the teahouse from the balcony.

Throughout this process, Lu Hu remained silent, because he had no idea what Shen Lin was doing or why he had come to the teahouse.

But at the same time, he didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he could only follow silently, knowing that he would understand when the time was right.

And so, Lu Hu followed Shen Lin to the rooftop without saying a word, and carefully moved to the sealed-off side of the teahouse.

It wasn't until the two found a place to sit down that they saw Shen Lin take something out of his pocket.

"You're curious why we didn't just go and arrest them, but instead went and sat on the roof of the teahouse."

Looking at Lu Hu, who was standing to the side with a face full of question marks but dared not speak, Shen Lin suddenly asked a question.

Lu Hu, on the other hand, was quite honest and didn't put on airs. Instead, he nodded very readily.

"Yes, Lord Shen Lin. However, I overheard your conversation with the Duke of Zhenguo. You must have been doing what the Duke instructed."

"Ok!"

Shen Lin was very satisfied with Lu Hu's answer, so he nodded and continued:

"Young Master is kind-hearted and doesn't want us to wrong innocent people or disturb the common people, so we need to find out the specific situation before we take action."

As Shen Lin spoke, he placed the night vision binoculars on his eye sockets and adjusted the lens's focus and angle little by little.

After confirming that there were no problems, he reached out and handed the night vision binoculars to Lu Hu, saying:

"As for how to check the situation inside that room, just take a look over there with this and you'll understand."

Lu Hu carefully took the night vision binoculars and, imitating Shen Lin, placed them on his eye socket.

When the old woman's house came into clear view and up close, Lu Hu was so shocked that he froze.

He stared blankly at the old woman's house for a long time without being able to say a word. It took him about a minute to slowly come back to his senses.

"This...this is just too, too amazing! The old woman's house is practically right in front of me, and so clearly!!"

"It's dark now! I can't even see the street downstairs clearly, so how can I see that house so clearly!"

"This is amazing, truly incredible... Wait, no, I see it! That old woman, she, she really has something wrong with her!"

Land Rover, who was initially marveling at the night vision telescope's capabilities, suddenly changed his tone and began to tremble with excitement.

Seeing his condition, Shen Lin reached out and took the night vision binoculars back from Lu Hu without saying a word.

While placing it on his eye socket, he didn't forget to ask questions.

Tell me in detail what you just saw.

Land Rover was somewhat disappointed that his night vision binoculars had been taken away, and he could no longer experience this amazing device.

However, upon hearing Shen Lin's question, he immediately realized that they were on official business, so he quickly replied:

“Lord Shen Lin, I just saw that old woman walking upright. Although her steps were a little limping, she was walking very fast.”

"When I first met her, the old woman was clearly using a cane and couldn't even straighten her back when she walked."

"Also, I saw that she was carrying something in her hand. I couldn't see exactly what it was, but it certainly wasn't a light or delicate item."

“An old woman walking at a similar pace to a young person, while carrying heavy objects, is clearly a big problem.”

While Lu Hu was speaking, Shen Lin's gaze had already followed the binoculars and seen the situation inside the room.

As Lu Hu had predicted, Shen Lin also noticed that the old woman's steps were far too light.

Although his face and clothes suggested old age, he didn't look old or frail at all when he walked.

Just as Lu Hu described, the old woman was indeed carrying something in her hand, which was also the most incongruous thing about her.

Lu Hu was focused on observing the old woman's movements, so he didn't see it clearly, but Shen Lin saw it very clearly.

The old woman was carrying a pottery urn, and it was clear from the mouth of the urn that it was full of things.

This is a big problem. Normally, an elderly person shouldn't be unable to lift a pottery jar full of things.

But it's absolutely impossible for someone like this old woman to be able to carry a pottery urn with one hand and move around as freely as a young man.

That straight back, agile legs, and strength beyond his years all point to one thing: this old man has a problem.

Or perhaps it wasn't an elderly person at all, but rather a young man in disguise.

Although there are many people in the world who can pretend, given the current situation, the White Lotus Taoist is the most likely candidate.

Having made his decision, Shen Lin did not hesitate and immediately took out the walkie-talkie to contact Wei Wu.

“Young master, I’ve noticed a problem. This old woman is definitely suspicious. She doesn’t seem like an elderly person at all…”

Shen Lin knew that Wei Wu was definitely still waiting for news from him, so he took out the walkie-talkie and gave a brief description.

After recounting everything he had discovered, Wei Wu's voice soon came through the walkie-talkie.

"Now that we've found a weakness, let's make our move! This time, we can't let him escape again."

"Don't worry, young master. If he gets away again this time, I, Shen Lin, will change my name and call you Aunt Lin from now on!"
