A food delivery worker—and you’re saying he’s a criminal investigation master?

The only answer he received was Lin Yuan’s silence.

Yesterday, the Criminal System taught him some hacking skills, and Lin Yuan planned to expand his side business. He thought that even if he served as a consultant, he could have two sources of income. Who would complain about having too much money?

Another point was that with so many cases being uprooted, it wouldn’t be difficult for the other party to realize what was going on.Full novel: A food delivery worker—and you’re saying he’s a criminal investigation master? — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

Lin Yuan sat in his seat, pondering.

If there was more than one owner of the Criminal System, then there would be many people who could exploit these cases, and some cases might even be improved upon.

Cases like this, placed openly in front of him, were like a hunter using food to lure prey.

Some people might choose to observe in secret, without exposing themselves, but Lin Yuan made a different choice.

If he had to hide, he felt that the Criminal System wouldn’t be as useful to him as if he didn’t have it at all.

[Congratulations, Host, Strength +10, Current Strength: 20]

The rewards from the Criminal System came again. Strength was perhaps the best way to feel secure. Lin Yuan had only been involved in these cases for a short time, but he already felt much better.

He wondered if others felt the same.

The police station’s monitoring system was protected by an advanced hacker’s strengthened firewall, but Lin Yuan discovered during his examination that by skillfully utilizing the code in the Criminal System, he could breach those firewalls with just a little time.

Everyone was just trying to live well. Lin Yuan strengthened the firewall and added an anti-tracking record.

If anyone tried to forcibly access the progress of Zhong Anguo’s case, it would trigger the recording system.

“You can do this too?”

Zheng Yunyin, who had some free time, casually came over to take a look.

The news that Zhong Wei had been temporarily detained was no longer a big deal at the station. Regarding Lin Yuan’s identity, everyone had pretty much guessed it.

“Just a little knowledge, at most I can understand it.”

“Oh, I see. Well, don’t mess with it, or the Internet Department will go crazy.”

After giving him a word of caution, Zheng Yunyin placed all the information about the people involved in the cases from a year ago on Lin Yuan’s desk. Electronic versions were never as clear as paper ones when it came to thinking.

“If you can’t remember, I can send you the information.”

“It’s okay, I can do it. Just send the things to me later.”

Lin Yuan needed to start investigating from all aspects, which would probably take him an afternoon, but since he was paid to do this, it was within his responsibilities.

He determined the general direction for himself, while on the other side of that direction, someone else was plotting.

The matter of Zhong Anguo didn’t cause much of a stir in Haishi. After all, it had happened a year ago. What could an old man do at his age?

Inside a luxurious presidential suite.

A man soaking in a rose petal-filled bathtub, swirling a glass of red wine in his hand, looked at the face on the tablet.

“Zhong Wei is exposed, looks like a fool took the bait.”

In the past year, this was the first one.

“It’s not necessarily a fool. Maybe he just wants to be a hero.”

When they first saw this system, they didn’t believe it either, but being in different positions brought different thoughts. Something so good was simply too wasteful to give to those cops.

So, the first owner started the so-called “experiment.”

These cases were all the results of his experiments. The people drawn in by these things were of the same kind.

In the past, a few of them had investigated quietly, mostly within Haishi. Only this one was an exception, wanting to cooperate with the police station?

What a joke.

After a few seconds of silence, the person on the other end of the phone sighed.

“These cases are too obvious. Even if they’ve passed through several hands, it’s hard to avoid being noticed. You should leave Haishi for now.”

“No, I want to stay here and watch the show.”

In this year, he had gained more than just that from the Criminal System.

If that person really dared to come knocking, he had ways to deal with it.

Now that things had reached this point, how could he just retreat?

Seeing that his persuasion was ineffective, the person on the other side didn’t continue. There was no apparent connection between them, and if something happened, he could only blame himself.

After finishing his work at the police station in the afternoon, it was already six o’clock.

Zhou Changfeng sent him a video of a large group of people squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands, while other police officers put handcuffs on them.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yuan thought of Zhang Ya and asked him out for dinner.

The rider platform, out of concern for privacy, didn’t issue a private announcement, but privately gave Zhang Ya a bonus.

When Lin Yuan saw Zhang Ya, he was all smiles.

“Lin Yuan, wasn’t it you who called the police for me? They checked the surveillance and said someone was following you from behind. If you hadn’t been careful, you might have been gone. Thanks, man.”

“It’s what we should do when we’re out and about.”

With so many people ordering food, the other party might not even remember Zhang Ya’s appearance, especially since everyone was wearing masks now.

At the barbecue stall, Zhang Ya and Lin Yuan got half a case of ice-cold beer and some barbecue.

“I’m saying, don’t you think your constitution attracts trouble? You were the one who saw those guys last time, and this time too.”

Fortunately, it was all a close call, or he would have been done for.

Lin Yuan paused his hand holding the barbecue. The Criminal System shouldn’t be able to interfere with these things, right?

“What are you thinking about? It’s just bad luck. Let’s go to the temple to pray one of these days.”

“That’s true.”

“By the way, the police officer who called me said he knew you. How come I didn’t know you knew an uncle from the police station?”

He didn’t just know someone. Now he was practically part of the police station.

“He’s a friend I know, but aren’t you a bit too old to call him uncle?”

“Haha, it’s all the same.”

The cool breeze outside felt refreshing. Wrinkles were starting to appear at the corners of Zhang Ya’s eyes, but he was smiling.

“This year, your wife and kids won’t have to work so hard when they go to school. Do you know how much gold costs these days? I’m planning to buy my wife earrings. She doesn’t want a bracelet.”

“Gold price? Why don’t we go check it out after we eat?”

“Sure, can you haggle?”

“A little bit.”

Lin Yuan and Zhang Ya looked at each other. There was no need to say anything about their unspoken understanding.

Zheng Yunyin, who stayed at the police station, was still a bit upset when she saw the things on Lin Yuan’s desk. It was rare to see such a chaotic scene at the police station.

In the empty space on the desk, a few pieces of paper were neatly placed.

“What’s this?”

She picked it up to take a look. It was a list of suspects from various cases, with clear indications of where the evidence was located.

“Could he really be a genius?”

In one afternoon, he had identified all the suspects in dozens of cases. One would think he was playing some kind of detective game.

Zhang Yaozhi, who was in charge of criminal investigation, hadn’t left yet. He was a little surprised when he saw Zheng Yunyin come over.

“Aren’t you off work?”

“Captain Zhang, take a look at this first.”

She handed Zhang Yaozhi the things from Lin Yuan.

“These…?”

“They’re all suspects in the cases. Some of the evidence is right here at our police station. I’ve already sent people to analyze it, and the results show that it’s as Lin Yuan said.”

Now that they could confirm the suspects, the sooner they caught them, the better.

Zhang Yaozhi was genuinely impressed by this young man, and a smile spread across his face.

“This guy shouldn’t be a consultant. He should come to my criminal investigation unit. That would be great.”
