Lin Yi didn't just make arrangements for Keke and Luoluo this time, of course, he couldn't forget about his own little Emperor Big Wife and Shadow Wife.

"Keke, eat quickly, follow me to Qiankun Palace later in the evening."

Ao ao—

Thinking about going out later, Keke excitedly howled.

Keke gnawed on the pig trotter voraciously, swallowing it whole after a fierce eating bout.

It's hard to imagine the ferocious combat power of Keke, a stark contrast to the polite and slow chewing when first having dog food, like two completely different dogs.

Ao ao—

Having eaten its fill, Keke circled around Lin Yi's legs, barely able to contain its desire to go out for a walk.

Luoluo obediently ate a big pig trotter at the feet of the little Emperor and Ying Yi.

"Luoluo, take good care of Your Majesty, Keke and I will go out for a bit."

After saying that, Lin Yi took Keke out of the Imperial Study Room.

It was Keke's first time wandering around the Imperial Palace, and it was very excited, curious about everything around.

The passing Palace Maids and eunuchs were terrified at the sight of the huge creature, but Lin Yi had no time to deal with them.

"Keke, just follow me obediently, don't act rashly, understand?"

In response to Lin Yi, Keke let out a burst of cheerful howls.

Soon, they arrived in front of Qiankun Palace, where Judge Zhong was holding two bowls of rice, with two plates of dishes on the ground.

He had been busy all afternoon and hadn't eaten dinner yet; it was time for the evening meal.

However, as Keke approached the dishes on the ground, it immediately let out an angry howl.

This sound was the same as the angry howl it had made in the Imperial Study Room towards the poisoned pig trotter.

Clearly, there was something wrong with the food.

'It seems the old eunuch can't wait anymore, knowing that I now value Judge Zhong, and acted against him immediately. That's really swift.'

"Shh, Keke, don't howl, little Zhong, let's take the food inside to eat."

Just as Judge Zhong was about to take a bite of the dish, Lin Yi stopped him and then walked into Qiankun Palace.

Judge Zhong, still confused, had to follow Lin Yi into Qiankun Palace with an empty stomach.

[Ding ding ding, host has successfully purchased braised eggplant, white-cut chicken, paid 3000 Heavenly Bead Coins, the goods have been delivered to the back door of Qiankun Palace.]

Lin Yi closed the door of Qiankun Palace and let Keke patrol around.

Then, Keke hesitantly retreated half a step beside the candle Lin Yi held, reluctantly letting out two whimpers.

Unexpectedly afraid of the dark, Lin Yi immediately installed several bright lights in Qiankun Palace, instantly lighting up the place.

Yet, Keke still refused to leave the side of those two bowls of poisoned food.

Seeing Keke's worry, Lin Yi moved the two bowls of food to a hidden corner, and got Judge Zhong to eat the newly bought food.

"You're being targeted too, be careful with your own safety, hurry up and eat."

Lin Yi assured Judge Zhong to eat at ease, while he followed Keke's footsteps, looking for clues.

But Keke was extremely cautious with every step, sniffing the floor over and over again, stopping and starting repeatedly.

From time to time, it would let out a muffled howl, which puzzled Lin Yi.

However, he was certain that there must be a secret chamber beneath Qiankun Palace.

Qiankun Palace was vast; it took Lin Yi five minutes to walk from the entrance to the deepest part, and it was very safe along the way, without any Hidden Weapons.

Lin Yi let Keke sniff the disassembled battery.

"Keke, go find out, who stole the Infrared Life Detector?"

Keke looked at Lin Yi with its big eyes, helplessly turning in circles, indicating it was powerless.

Only then did Lin Yi realize that he hadn't protected this sole clue.

This battery not only had been touched by the person or animal dismantling the Infrared Life Detector but also by himself and Judge Zhong.

With this, the scent had already been greatly diluted and dispersed, which was very unfavorable for Keke to find clues based on the smell.

"Never mind, Keke, let's go check if there are any wild beasts in this vast Qiankun Palace."

As soon as Lin Yi finished speaking, Keke's ears suddenly caught a faint sound; then, it turned around abruptly and dashed toward the bookshelf in the Political Discussion Room.

Woof woof woof!

Keke barked fiercely, as excited as if it had suddenly found the number one criminal at a crime scene.

"Be careful, Keke! There's a trap!"

Lin Yi quickly followed after Keke, but Keke was too fast, and Lin Yi couldn't keep up.

"Watch out!"

At that moment, a throwing knife flew towards Keke, and Lin Yi saw that it was already too late.

Just as the throwing knife was about to stab Keke, Keke leapt up, knocking down a bookshelf, and then clung onto something, refusing to let go.

"Whimper, whimper—"

Before Lin Yi could catch up, he suddenly heard a strange voice. At this time, Judge Zhong also put down his meal and ran towards the Political Discussion Room.

Then, a vicious tearing sound came from behind the collapsed bookshelf.

Clearly, Keke had caught the beast.

At the critical moment, Lin Yi had to use his Wave Riding Micro Steps to catch up with Keke.

When he saw the scene of Keke tearing into the beast, he was astonished.

That was not a beast at all, but rather a ragged, hunched old man.

Before Lin Yi could get a clear look, a beam suddenly fell from above, aiming straight for Keke.

"Keke! Watch out for your head!"

While Lin Yi yelled out loud, he pulled Judge Zhong to the side.

Keke, hearing Lin Yi's warning, bit tightly onto the ragged old man, swung forcefully, and then sprang up, jumping to a safe distance half a meter away.

Fortunately, it was all a false alarm. Keke successfully escaped the calamity.

The ragged old man refused to give up; he gathered energy in his hands, preparing to smack the bothersome Keke away.

At the critical juncture, Lin Yi pulled out a pistol and fired two shots at the old man's arms.

Bang, bang—

The old man screamed in agony, his hands released their hold, and he could only collapse on the ground.

Howl howl howl—

Keke kept barking fiercely, as if it was trying to tell Lin Yi something.

However, as Lin Yi approached the old man and tried to see his face, suddenly, a handful of blinding pepper powder was thrown at them.

"Ah!"

Lin Yi, who realized too late to close his eyes, was hit. Of course, Judge Zhong was not spared either.

Fortunately, Keke, well-trained, closed its eyes in time to escape the ordeal.

"It's no good, it's so spicy, it hurts, Keke, go get some water for me."

Keke kept barking at the old man, refusing to give up, while on the other side, Lin Yi and Judge Zhong were calling out in pain and anxiety for help.

"Keke. Water!"

Lin Yi immediately placed an order in the Nine-Eyed Mall.

[Beep beep beep, the host has successfully purchased 10 bottles of mineral water, 4000 Heavenly Bead Coins have been paid, goods are delivered to the host's right side.]

But even within this short distance of less than a meter, neither Lin Yi nor Judge Zhong could reach for it.

Keke hesitated for a moment, this was a tough multiple-choice question.
