Ye Laogui was extremely nervous, to the point of being terrified.
His fear of Ye Longlin had burrowed deep into his soul. The things Ye Longlin had done in the Mobei Prison had chilled countless war criminals, who had even experienced punishments they had never heard of before.
Although the physical damage was not significant, the psychological trauma was something they would never forget.
Therefore, upon seeing Ye Longlin, his ingrained nervousness made his entire body tense and unnatural.
“Old Luo, why are you sweating? Did you get tired so quickly after doing so little work? I told you, married men should sleep early at night, but you didn't listen. Now look at you, hahahaha.”
Luo Zhijun rolled his eyes and said irritably, “I think you’re just envious and jealous. What’s the use of earning so much money when you don’t get married? And you’re working yourself to death today, what’s it all for?”
“You don’t understand. Do you know how expensive it is to get married these days? The bride price alone is probably a hundred thousand, a car around two hundred thousand, and even if it’s not a big house, at least a hundred square meters. In our city, Qing City, with the current housing prices at ten thousand per square meter, it’ll be at least a million. Not to mention the wedding banquet, the wedding convoy, wedding photos, etc. All those miscellaneous expenses add up to at least 1.5 million.
Since I have this money, why would I still get married? You should know, in this society, men look down while women look up. With this 1.5 million, I can go back to my hometown, build a villa for two to three hundred thousand, marry a wife for two to three hundred thousand, and even buy a car for two hundred thousand. I’ll still have plenty left. Don’t you think so?”
Upon hearing this, the people around them were speechless, but after a moment of thought, it seemed to be the truth.
After all, everyone has different ideas and different ways of doing things.
But now, Luo Zhijun didn't want to linger here any longer, or rather, he didn't want to attract Ye Longlin's attention. If he were to face him directly, he might expose himself, and that would be trouble.
So he quickly said, “If you have nothing else to do, hurry back to your work. I’m going to take a nap, I have to work hard this afternoon.”
But it was at this moment that Ye Longlin had already walked up to his stall.
Ye Longlin’s appearance also drew the attention of many people in the vegetable market. In a place as mixed as a vegetable market, all sorts of people could be encountered. However, they had never seen such a young man with such an extraordinary aura.
Wealthy families usually hired nannies, so the people who came to buy vegetables were generally nannies. Moreover, these nannies wouldn't even buy vegetables at the market, but would go directly to supermarkets.
Middle-class families or those below would personally come out to buy vegetables so they could pick the good ones.
Therefore, the people they encountered the most were ordinary families, or those with a net worth of several hundred thousand or a million at most.
But Ye Longlin’s aura clearly indicated he was no ordinary person. The official demeanor he exuded was too strong, and he gave off a feeling of decisive action.
No one dared to step forward and speak.
After all, when one stays in a certain position for a long time, the accompanying aura, or dignity, will be unconsciously exuded.
“You’re very nervous?”
Ye Longlin suddenly looked at Luo Zhijun and asked.
His cold face showed no emotion, and his expression was stern.
“No, I’m not.”
Luo Zhijun had just lay down and was about to sleep when he heard Ye Longlin’s voice. Almost instinctively, he stood up from the lounge chair, standing ramrod straight.
Seeing this action, a faint smile appeared on Ye Longlin’s lips.
He had found the person.
An ordinary person would not react like this.
Either it was professional soldiers who had undergone years of training, like the Dragon Guard, or prisons with military management.
So, in general, there were only these two possibilities.
“Although you hid yourself well, you were betrayed by your own people. Of course, I estimate you won’t know who did it.”
Ye Longlin said with a smile.
Luo Zhijun looked surprised, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
His heart sank, and he thought to himself, this was obviously discovered. However, he wasn't that panicked, after all, this was on his turf.
The original owner of the name Luo Zhijun was a small stall supplier in the North City vegetable market, in other words, a vegetable vendor.
This was also why many people in the North City vegetable market respected him. Although they often teased him, they still had to listen when he spoke.
“Number 23, alias Ye Laogui, S-class war criminal.”
“Do you understand now?”
Seeing that the other party had stated his name so definitively, Luo Zhijun still showed no reaction. He lowered his head, lit a cigarette, and exhaled a puff of smoke.
“If you’re here to buy vegetables, you’re welcome. But if you’re here to cause trouble, I’m not a coward.”
However, Ye Longlin ignored him and continued speaking to himself.
“Let me guess, the reason you chose to kill this family was because the target was a nobody, and he could access the cold storage. After completing the murder, you stuffed the victim into the cold storage.
You possess a perverted personality gene and cannot tolerate not killing for extended periods. In Mobei Prison, you were incarcerated for 20 years. During these 20 years, you were constantly thinking of ways to commit the perfect murder. Currently, your method for the perfect murder is indeed good, but you overlooked the most crucial point.
You are a war criminal yourself, and you cannot tolerate not committing crimes for extended periods. Therefore, for this loose end, you disguised yourself as him, perfectly using his identity to conceal your own true identity.”
After finishing, Ye Longlin nodded and praised, “You did quite well, but unfortunately, you were still discovered.”
Luo Zhijun’s expression darkened slightly. Such a secretive matter, only he himself knew, but this person had completely guessed it based on conjecture?
This… how is this possible? How could he guess my plan?
“You thought no one could find you hiding here? That’s just what you thought.”
Ye Longlin continued speaking, as if everything was under his control. This feeling made Luo Zhijun feel extremely uneasy.
Since the other party was so certain, there was no need for him to continue hiding.
“You guessed correctly, it is me. But what of it?”
“Back then in prison, we were prisoners, and you were the warden’s son. We definitely couldn’t resist, but it’s different now that we’re out.
I can tell you clearly, although I don’t know who betrayed me, I can also guarantee that you absolutely will not leave this door today! If you think I’m just joking, then you’re welcome to try.”
