Chapter 33 - 33 33 A Case Triggered by a Good Deed
33: Chapter 33 A Case Triggered by a Good Deed 33: Chapter 33 A Case Triggered by a Good Deed Early in the morning, Lin Xiaosu woke up to the sound of a dog barking and immediately felt the flow of True Qi throughout his body.
He lightly tapped his toes and reached the door, opening it to see Miao Ruolan.
Miao Ruolan was holding his clothes, which were surprisingly neatly pressed.
“You ironed them for me?”
Miao Ruolan smiled lightly: “Mainly because I was worried they wouldn’t dry.
I used an iron, and they dried by last night…
You’re going to handle procedures today, Mr.
Lin.
You can’t just run around wearing my dad’s old pajamas.”
Lin Xiaosu took the clothes: “Let me correct you, we’re partners.
I’m your boss and you’re mine.
Besides…
Ruolan, seriously, whatever job you’re doing, you’re worth more than 2000 a month.”
The corners of Miao Ruolan’s mouth stealthily curled up: “Why don’t you tell that to Old Zhou?
He pays me 750 for half a month’s work, acting as if he’s doing me a huge favor…”
“Once we’ve set up the Detective Agency, we’ll show him!” Lin Xiaosu’s response came from inside the room.
Miao Ruolan chuckled.
Whenever she was with him, she seemed to find herself laughing more than usual.
Lin Xiaosu stepped out of the room, dressed in neatly pressed trousers and a sharp jacket, giving off a vibe of Spirit that seemed to radiate from his hair tips.
In Miao Ruolan’s eyes, he was actually starting to look quite handsome.
In the courtyard, the electric motorcycle was fully charged.
As Miao Ruolan was about to hop on, she suddenly stopped: “Why don’t you ride?”
Lin Xiaosu didn’t decline, and straddled the electric motorcycle, taking off with Miao Ruolan like a gust of wind and a flash of lightning.
The mountain road was narrow, with cliffs on both sides.
However, the electric motorcycle stylishly kicked up leaves from both sides, swiftly cutting through the dense forest…
Miao Ruolan hugged his waist from behind, her cheeks flushing red once again.
It wasn’t from nervousness; with their current Ancient Martial skills, they wouldn’t have any accidents here.
Even if they flipped the motorcycle, they would still have the reflexes to handle it.
She just felt that she might have chosen the wrong way again…
Yesterday, she had ridden the bike with him hugging her from behind, which made her whole body go weak.
Today, she no longer dared to take the lead.
So she switched, letting him take the lead.
This change made things natural from behind, but from the front, it became somewhat sensitive.
If this guy rode slower, she could maintain a distance, but once the speed picked up, due to inertia…
She had wanted to remind him, not to be overconfident just because he had practiced Ancient Martial, and to not speed on roads that weren’t suitable for it.
But under this strange train of thought, she seemed to have grown lazy and no longer wanted to remind him.
What she didn’t know was that today’s ride with Lin Xiaosu had nothing to do with whether he had cultivated Ancient Martial or not.
Lin Xiaosu was already a top motorcycle rider.
At the 101 testing ground, he had completed countless maneuvers far more thrilling and difficult than this.
Some of those maneuvers were even included by the system as trial items for new members.
Once they left the mountain road and entered Fengcheng Avenue, the speed of the electric motorcycle actually decreased quite a bit.
They road all the way to Fengshan Police Station.
Miao Ruolan looked at the large building of the police station: “Are we handling procedures here?”
“Yeah, Detective Agencies are not like other businesses; they require police record registration…
Officer Zhou!”
Lin Xiaosu raised his voice for the last three words.
A car that had just come out from the station stopped abruptly, the window sliding down to reveal none other than Zhou Mei.
Lin Xiaosu could swear he saw a flicker of delight in the officer’s eyes.
What was going on?
“You…
why are you here?” Zhou Mei asked.
The young male police officer in the passenger seat leaned his head back slightly to facilitate the conversation between Zhou Mei and Lin Xiaosu.
“I need to talk to you for a moment.”
Zhou Mei said: “Alright!
little Sun, let’s put aside what we’re working on for a bit.”
“Sister Zhou, this matter can’t wait though, Captain Zhang is watching.
He instructed us to make sure…”
“Do you listen to me or to him?” Zhou Mei shot him a glare: “Get out of the car, take Mr.
Lin to the reception room and wait for me with some tea brewed!
I’ll park the car now!”
The young police officer named Sun had no choice but to get out, leading Lin Xiaosu and Miao Ruolan to the reception room and brewing tea for them.
He really couldn’t understand in his heart.
How urgent could the matter at hand be?
Sister Zhou was a seasoned cop, too.
How could she not see the priority of tasks at this moment, and be receiving guests instead…
As these thoughts crossed his mind, Zhou Mei walked in.
He smiled warmly, “Let’s start with what brings you looking for me?”
“Officer Zhou, it’s like this, I’m planning to open a detective agency in Fengcheng, and according to the establishment regulations, I need to file a case with the public security authorities…”
Little Sun interrupted, “Mr.
Lin, the reception desk handles case filings, just go to the window for that.
Sister Zhou, we should be going…”
Zhou Mei didn’t get up, she simply smiled, “Sorry little Su, this little Sun is newly assigned here, he doesn’t know better.
Keep talking!”
Lin Xiaosu gave a slight smile, “Officer Sun stayed up all night watching the footage, not sleeping a wink, all with the thought of working the case.
Such dedication is commendable.
If you two have urgent business, go ahead with that.
I can handle the filing at the window just as well.”
Officer Sun’s brows furrowed sharply, “How did you know I watched the footage all night?”
“…” Zhou Mei expressed her surprise as well.
Even if she knew about Lin Xiaosu’s methods, she still found such a magical incident hard to accept.
Noticing someone didn’t sleep all night is already good eyesight, but knowing they stayed up watching footage all night, unless you were hiding outside their window…
Lin Xiaosu laughed, “Just look at Officer Sun’s eyes and you’ll know!
The signs of not having slept are quite obvious, so, what was he doing up all night?
Doing different things causes different signs in the eyes.
There is a degree of bloodshot around his eyelids, showing that he kept his eyes wide open for a long time without motion.
Combined with the rush you two seemed to be in when leaving, I boldly guessed that Officer Sun was watching surveillance footage last night to look for criminal clues.”
Zhou Mei and Officer Sun looked at each other.
Exhaling softly, Zhou Mei said, “I’m convinced!
Are you telling me this proves you have what it takes to run a detective agency?”
“Yes, since I plan to open a detective agency, I naturally need the corresponding professional skills.
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a joke?” Lin Xiaosu lifted his teacup.
Zhou Mei said, “Opening a detective agency isn’t just filing a case, there’s a whole slew of procedures.
If you were to tackle it yourself, I reckon you wouldn’t finish in two months.”
“I know!
But what can you do?
Just take it slow.”
Zhou Mei said, “I can handle it for you.
I’ll take care of it, and everything will be in place within a week at most.”
Lin Xiaosu laughed, “…”
“Don’t get too excited yet, I have my conditions!” Zhou Mei said, “I have a case on my hands, help me figure out a solution!
As long as you can help me crack this tough nut, I’ll focus on helping you!”
Officer Sun, who was sitting askew in the office chair, flinched, his gaze shifting towards Zhou Mei with a touch of disbelief.
Inviting an outsider for help…
Does that comply with procedures?
Lin Xiaosu shook his head slightly, “I guessed you would pull this!
What can I do when I’m the one asking for a favor?
Alright, I help you, then you help me!”
Zhou Mei got excited, “Little Sun, get the case record!”
“Sister Zhou, this…” little Sun hesitated.
“I know what you’re about to say, no need to speak, just bring it here!”
Both wanted to speak further, but Miao Ruolan obviously didn’t understand.
If it had been the Lin Xiaosu of the past, he wouldn’t have understood either.
But is he still the same person as before?
He knew this was the rule!
Not to leak information on an ongoing investigation is discipline.
Zhou Mei was compelled to ask for his help due to the urgency of solving the case quickly, but fundamentally, it was a breach of protocol.
To tackle such a dilemma, the best approach is to not get involved in the specifics but to solve the most crucial point…
Lin Xiaosu spoke up, “No need for the record, Officer Zhou just tell me with words…”
“Alright, this matter started with a good deed…”
A person found a wallet but couldn’t find the owner, so they brought it to the police station.
If it were just an ordinary wallet, this action would be the standard good deed of a good Samaritan.
The problem is, upon opening the wallet, there was no cash, but there were drugs!
A full three kilograms!
For a drug case of such a terrifying amount, in this small county, it’s unprecedented!
Now the Criminal Investigation Team is searching for this lost property owner, the spot where the finder claimed to have picked it up was out of the camera’s view, and they reviewed a plethora of surrounding footage for analysis (the footage little Sun was watching last night), yet they still haven’t found the owner.
That’s the situation, a massive case triggered by an act of kindness.
Typically, with such honesty in finding lost items, the owner would thank the finder for their integrity, but in this case, whether the owner would be grateful or curse their ancestors is anyone’s guess.
Regardless, everyone in the squad finds the situation agonizingly funny.
No matter how many laughable aspects there are to this case, none of them can laugh because the higher-ups have issued an absolute command, solve the case within three days, otherwise, as time goes by, those involved in the crime will transfer assets, move people around, and in the end, you won’t be able to catch anyone…
