Startled by the sudden sound of police sirens, the opponent hesitated for half a second. It was this brief moment that allowed Lin Yuan to knock the weapon out of his hand.
That brat!
Due to their proximity, the opponent was finally able to see Lin Yuan's face clearly. Realizing that this was the person he intended to deal with, he wanted to make Lin Yuan suffer a bit. However, the police car was approaching quickly.
"Stop!"
A shout came from not far away as several officers in uniform raised their weapons, locking onto the two men in front of them. The clothes Lin Yuan was wearing made it difficult for them to identify who they were supposed to confront.
"You actually called the police?"
The words slipped out instinctively, making it clear to the officers what they needed to do. They quickly rushed over to Lin Yuan's side, eyeing the man across from them.
"Crouch down and cover your head!"
The leader among them was the officer who had previously interrogated Lin Yuan. After receiving the news, he had rushed over without delay. Although he didn't understand why this incident involved Lin Yuan, he knew that it was absolutely crucial to ensure nothing happened to him. The scene before him only confirmed this urgency.
With a determined gaze, he looked at the unarmed man and said in a deep voice, "Take him away!"
Knowing he was no match for them, the man turned to flee. However, at such a short distance, if he managed to escape, it would be an embarrassment for the Haishi Police Department.
Lin Yuan quietly observed this scene until the man was captured. Only then did he remove his raincoat.
One of the junior officers stared at Lin Yuan's familiar face, momentarily stunned.
"Lin Yuan?"
No way! The captain hadn't mentioned who had made the call when they responded; it turned out to be him?
Most of them had heard about Liu's incident from their genius colleagues, so even if they hadn't seen Lin Yuan before, they were somewhat familiar with his name.
Lin Yuan smiled slightly at him and then turned to the officer, saying, "When I was following them earlier, they mentioned something about hiding something over at Tianshui Bay. If the police department hasn't started investigating yet, they should look into it soon."
"Something?"
The people who had come out of nowhere were intent on taking Lin Yuan's life; this was something he had anticipated.
Zhou Changfeng nodded, his voice carrying a sense of seriousness. "I will report this to my superiors. In half an hour, we will send someone to investigate Tianshui Bay. You need to come with us to the police station."
This incident was no longer just about Lin Yuan; the current situation was a murder case. Lin Yuan had not intended to stay out of it, so he readily followed along.
The man was pinned to the ground, while the other two were also restrained and taken to the police car. His gaze remained fixed on Lin Yuan, filled with resentment. They had fallen into a trap! This was far from over!
Lin Yuan paid no mind to those glares. When he arrived at the police station, he recounted the events as he had before. However, when it came to Zhou Changfeng's request not to involve Zhang Ya, Zhou nodded in agreement.
If another person were called in, it would only complicate matters further.
"By the way, I want to ask—has Liu's case not been solved yet?" Lin Yuan was genuinely curious.
Upon hearing this question, Zhou Changfeng's stern expression softened somewhat as he replied, "The person is now within our control. Based on the clues we previously gathered, we thought the situation was related to the murderer; we didn't expect that it would inadvertently lead to Liu's death."
"Are there other cases?" At this point, Lin Yuan realized he shouldn't pry any further; the more involved he became, the harder it would be for him to extricate himself from this mess.
It wasn't that Lin Yuan was unwilling; at least he needed an identity, right?
The three captured individuals were taken to separate interrogation rooms to prevent them from colluding.
"Now tell me, why did you target Lin Yuan?" a police officer asked the man who had not sustained much injury.
"I just found him annoying—he’s just a delivery guy," the man replied defiantly. "What’s wrong with having a little fun? The officer wouldn’t treat us like this, right?"
As long as he didn’t mention anything related to the white substance, these police officers were nothing more than a minor annoyance. If they resorted to excessive force, it wouldn’t end well for them either.
Faced with such a brazen attitude, the officer remained calm and pulled out a photograph from below the table. A cold voice echoed in the room.
Li Dawei, do you think that just because you've changed your face, no one will recognize you? Don't forget that Huaguo still has your fingerprints. Once the situation at Tianshui Bay is clarified, there might still be a chance for redemption!
This isn't just empty talk; if you perform well, there is indeed an opportunity to make amends. Besides, I remember you have a son who is about to enter university, right? Even someone like Li Dawei wouldn’t want his promising son to get into trouble.
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Dawei's expression stiffened. Due to his circumstances, he hadn’t seen his son in a long time. A hint of melancholy flickered in his eyes—his son was already about to start college?
Just when everyone thought he might say something significant, Li Dawei coldly replied, "As long as my son is safe, I don’t care about anything else. After all, you wouldn’t let him die, would you?"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the others turned sour. Moreover, you all seem so anxious despite not having found anything yet. I’m just causing some trouble; it’s not serious enough to warrant such urgency.
Li Dawei realized at this point that these officers were asking him questions without any evidence. They were merely trying to extract information from him, and he wouldn’t fall for it. If they wanted proof, they could wait.
They had already sent someone to search the area, and this time they brought drug-sniffing dogs along; they certainly wouldn’t return empty-handed.
Meanwhile, Lin Yuan walked out of the police station and heard the system's voice for the first time during the day.
[Host has successfully contacted a drug dealer; combat power increased.]
As the system's voice faded away, Lin Yuan distinctly felt a slight surge in his strength. He glanced at the shared bicycle nearby. He hadn’t ridden an electric bike this time; he had opted for sharing instead.
He walked over and effortlessly lifted it with one hand—easy as pie! A smile crept onto Lin Yuan's lips. Did this mean he could climb nine flights of stairs without breaking a sweat?
Ah, but there’s no escaping the fact that delivering food is such a tough job.
At that moment in Tianshui Bay, police cars quietly made their way there. Before their arrival, those hiding in the area had already slipped away. However, with the entry of the police dogs, some obvious remnants began to surface slowly.
To the surprise of the officers, these individuals had actually taken to cooking for themselves to avoid raising suspicion about ordering takeout. However, there were surveillance cameras nearby, and since they had to go out, it was impossible for them to leave without leaving any traces. Thus, in the middle of the night, Zhou Changfeng received a segment of the surveillance footage, and one person captured in it was Li Dawei.
Now, how would he explain this?
