Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 538 "Framed"

After a long night, the sun of the city that never sleeps rose again from the gray sky, illuminating this huge and bloated megacity.

There are less than 48 hours left until Huo Xing's birthday party in Buyetian.

Lin Yu sat in the room of the White Jade Palace in the sky and waited quietly.

The White Jade Palace in the Sky is an industry under the Universal General Chamber of Commerce. Black Snake and the other three middlemen whose names he doesn't know are also people with a certain status in the City That Never Sleeps.

Whether three people were killed in the White Jade Palace in the sky, or three top middlemen died in an accident, it would definitely attract a certain amount of attention.

Anyone with a little bit of interest will find out...

Last night, after the legendary "detective" Forboluo was attacked in the Wanjin Tianzuo, he mysteriously appeared in the White Jade Palace in the sky.

And before coming here, he went to the Public Security Bureau and Sheng Lan's house!

Anyone who has a little understanding of the current situation in the City That Never Sleeps can sense that there may be some intricate connection between them.

This is also why Lin Yu deliberately ran around as "Forbolo" yesterday.

Sure enough, not long after he rested in the room, there was a knock on his door.

“Knock, knock!”

Lin Yu walked over slowly, opened the door, and then saw two on-duty officers from the Public Security Bureau.

Behind them stood a familiar face—the squad leader of the Public Security Bureau known as “Captain Three.”

The two officers on duty turned on the recording devices on their shoulders and said seriously, "Mr. Forbolo, are you aware that three people died on the 70th floor of the hotel last night..."

When Lin Yu heard this, a look of shock first appeared on his face, and then he spoke naturally.

"I see. Pretty tough case, right?"

"Looks like it's my turn again, a super-famous 'detective' whose body hasn't shrunk but whose mind is incredibly sharp, to take action!"

“Take me to see the scene!”

As Lin Yu spoke, he was about to walk out the door naturally, but was then stopped by two on-duty personnel.

The two looked troubled, and another officer on duty spoke again: "Mr. Forbolo, that's not the case..."

"Based on the current evidence, you may be the prime suspect."

The officer on duty said this, and Captain Three sighed.

"That's it, Mr. Forbolo."

Lin Yu was stunned: "What evidence? This is not right. Someone must have framed me!"

Lin Yu said, and the third captain then said: "About an hour before the three victims died last night, you checked in at the hotel front desk."

"Can this be considered evidence?"

Lin Yu's face showed a look of shock, and he said in confusion.

"Of course, this isn't evidence, but... the surveillance cameras in the hotel corridor last night didn't capture you. And based on the records of your fight with the suspect 'Zhu Rong' at Wanjin Tianzuo and the surveillance footage from last night, it seems you have some way of evading surveillance and deceiving people's vision."

Lin Yu looked at the third captain, holding onto the door frame, and spoke in a relaxed tone: "And then, based on this... are you going to convict me? What's my motive for committing the crime?"

"Of course, we don't convict you based solely on your ability," the third captain said helplessly. "Rather, we're listing you as a suspect primarily based on your motive."

"According to the testimony of the Shenglan family's housekeeper... last night you asked the respected Lord Sheng Lankui for the location of 'Black Snake,' a well-known middleman in the Never-Sleeping City. So, at Sheng Lankui's instruction, he invoked the highest 'query' authority in the Never-Sleeping City and locked onto Black Snake's location through the network node—it was in this hotel."

Lin Yu was even more stunned: "There was a black snake among those three dead?!"

"No, Black Snake is missing," the third captain whispered. "Last night, he and three other well-known middlemen gathered in a room on the seventieth floor of the White Jade Palace in the sky. The result is... except for Black Snake, the other three are all dead, and Black Snake himself is nowhere to be found."

Lin Yu said, his expression becoming more serious: "It seems that this is directed at me."

The third captain nodded, then reached out and turned off the recording devices on the shoulders of the two officers on duty. He lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Forbolo, this may not be a setup targeting you, but... your arrival may have caused them to change their plans."

Obviously, Fu Luo's good reputation in the past made Captain Three believe that this case was not really committed by him.

After all, it is common for a "famous detective" to be framed as a murderer.

Unfortunately……

"I really am a murderer."

Lin Yu sighed silently, but continued to act.

"Your Public Security Bureau was able to obtain the Shenglan family's testimony so quickly and come to arrest me. I'm afraid someone is behind this... Who is it?"

Lin Yu looked at the third captain and asked seriously.

He could tell that the other party was definitely not just asking questions.

The configuration of a captain and two senior on-duty personnel is not common in ordinary visits and investigations. Moreover, Lin Yu also saw that they were all fully armed.

"The Universal Chamber of Commerce directly put pressure on me. After all, it was them who reported the case, and... they were definitely targeting you!"

The third captain gritted his teeth and said, "Today, an A-level supervisor from the Wanyong Chamber of Commerce came directly to our Public Security Bureau and used the company's authority to directly issue an arrest warrant, demanding that you be brought back to the Public Security Bureau first."

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes.

Universal General Chamber of Commerce...

Regardless of their mentality, this means that the last royal noble family has finally come to an end.

As expected, in today’s city that never sleeps, no noble family can stay out of it.

However, Lin Yu still didn't know what role they played and what attitude they had in this matter.

"I see, you're here to arrest me... It's okay, I won't embarrass you."

Lin Yu said this and patted the two on-duty personnel.

"Turn on your recording devices and follow the procedure."

He said this, and then the two officers on duty did as he was told.

The third captain pulled out the handcuffs from his back and said loudly, "Mr. Forbolo, please come with us. It will be beneficial for all of us to cooperate with our work."

Lin Yu looked at the camera that was clearly pointed at him and laughed.

"Sorry...I'm under arrest."

Then, Lin Yu drew out two swords from his arms.

"Ding! Dang!"

With two crisp sounds, Lin Yu cut off the standard short sticks drawn by the two on-duty personnel, and then lowered his elbow to hit the shoulder, knocking one person to the ground.

The officer on duty groaned and fell to the ground.

Lin Yu then turned around and kicked sideways, kicking another on-duty officer who was about to pull out a tranquilizer gun backwards, and then crossed his two swords and slashed at the chest of the third captain.

"Shh!"

The third captain's clothes were torn, revealing the tactical anti-cut vest underneath - although it had also been cut, it did not hurt the other party.

The other party looked at Lin Yu and spoke in a deep voice.

"Mr. Forbolo, your two moves might be able to knock down my team members, but they can't stop me!"

Lin Yu let out a breath.

This captain of the Public Security Bureau is really a shrewd guy...

The nobles in the city that never sleeps have high rolls, and the common people have even higher rolls. Every guy with a little power is not simple.

It was as if these three captains were obviously delivering a message to him.

"I'd be embarrassed if I let you go after just this level of fighting. You'd better kick those two guys twice as well."

"excuse me."

Lin Yu whispered, then drew his sword again.

"Shh!"

A knife was slashed down, and the third captain of the Public Security Bureau raised his hand to block it, and his forearm was instantly hit by a deep wound that could see the bone.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Yu brought out Lao Zheng.

"Knock them out!"

"Hey—I got it!"
