Due to this phone call, Lin Yuan arrived at the police station from the young girl’s doorstep half an hour later.
He hadn’t expected to encounter such a thing right after leaving the hospital; he estimated he’d lose today’s orders again.
“You’re Lin Yuan?”
The police officer sitting in the interrogation room stared at Lin Yuan suspiciously for a while, as if already certain he was connected to the case.
It was Lin Yuan’s first time in a police station, but it didn’t feel unfamiliar.
He had practiced many times in the Criminal System, and this level of oppression was nothing to him.
“I am.”
Lin Yuan nodded honestly.
“Before Liu Ming’s restaurant had the incident, did you just go there to pick up an order?”

The police officer’s tone was serious, his gaze fixed on Lin Yuan.
“Yes, the couple seemed to be arguing at the time. I left after picking up the meal, so I don’t know what happened after that.”
Logically speaking, this matter couldn’t possibly involve him.
He was just there to pick up food; if he was blamed for this, that would be absurd.
“Three minutes before you left, Liu Ming was alive outside the restaurant. When the passerby found him, his wife wasn’t present. Tell me about his wife, what does she look like?”
Indeed, their purpose in finding Lin Yuan wasn’t to think he was the murderer, but there must be a connection.
Now that Liu Ming’s wife was missing, and Lin Yuan, the only food delivery worker who saw her, might know something?
“What does she look like? I remember she had short hair and several ear piercings…”
Lin Yuan gave a simple description of her features.
The police officer was clearly professional, not interrupting Lin Yuan at the first moment but waiting for him to finish speaking before opening his mouth.
“The person I’m talking about is not Liu Ming’s wife. His wife looks like this.”
In Lin Yuan’s line of sight, a photo appeared.
It was a gentle and graceful man, definitely not the same person he saw outside the restaurant.
Lin Yuan said:
“Then Liu Ming cheated?”
“Now we’re asking you questions, you just need to answer.”
The police officer’s eyes didn’t relax in the slightest.
“How much of the content of their argument did you hear?”
“It seemed to be about the children’s schooling. School District Housing in Haishi are very expensive. The Boss Lady said she wanted her children to go to the best junior high and high school, but the Boss couldn’t give that much money, at most three million.”
To be honest, Lin Yuan really thought the restaurant’s profits were that low.
“Oh, right, they also mentioned a house, in Di Shui Wan, A District.”
If he didn’t have the Read Once, Never Forget skill, Lin Yuan probably wouldn’t be able to remember so much now.
After speaking, the police officer across from him looked at him with a hint of surprise. ‘Isn’t this kid just a delivery guy? He was only in the store for a short time, how does he know so much?’
“Okay, the clues you provided are very important, let’s end it here for today.”
The police officer stood up, and Lin Yuan also got up from the chair smoothly, without any sense of restraint.
This appearance made the Young Police Officer working beside him feel a bit amused; he was the first person who wasn’t afraid of the captain.
To leave the interrogation room, Lin Yuan needed to pass through a long corridor, where several doors were closed. Looking slightly inside, one could see the scene inside.
And with that one look, Lin Yuan saw Liu Ming’s death.
On the blackboard, pressed down by magnets, was a very bloody photo. In the photo, Liu Ming’s body was almost dyed red with blood. Generally, with such blood loss, one definitely wouldn’t be able to survive.
But next to him were written three words: Heartless Man.
If this wasn’t done by the Boss Lady, then the most likely person to write these three words would be his wife.
Love and relationships are the hardest things to understand. Lin Yuan sighed. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly seemed to notice something, taking a few steps back to look at the photo again.
“Lin Yuan?”
The Young Police Officer who was sitting earlier was about to print the transcript and couldn’t help but be curious when he saw Lin Yuan standing there.
“If I had left a little later, I probably would have witnessed that scene firsthand. Glad I left quickly.”
The Young Police Officer sighed, also closing the door.
They could look at these things, but it was best not to let the public see them.
Lin Yuan smiled.
“The other party wouldn’t necessarily choose to strike when you’re there, so Liu Ming faked the affair?”
“So interested?”
After all, Lin Yuan wasn’t part of the police station, so the Young Police Officer couldn’t say anything definitive.
Before things were confirmed, everything was just a reasonable guess.
“No, I’m just asking out of curiosity. It’s quite mysterious how a woman can be dealt with by a man in such a short time as three minutes.”
After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he had already left.
Standing in the corridor, the Young Police Officer pondered that this was indeed quite reasonable. Did the men who ran restaurants have more strength?
Leaving the police station, Lin Yuan opened his phone.
They, the food delivery workers, also had their own groups, but since the number of people in a single district group was too small, Lin Yuan basically wouldn’t speak in it.
But perhaps because many food delivery workers had been to that restaurant, the discussion was particularly intense.
“I think his wife did it, but it’s impossible for someone to get there so quickly, and there’s still a mistress involved.”
“Usually, the Boss Lady seems quite nice. To be fair, even if divorced with a child, there’s really no need to go this far.”
“What if that child is Liu Ming’s? There’s nothing shameful about raising your own child.”
Since he was bored anyway, it was better to say something useful.
Some people also knew that some of their food delivery workers were involved, and many people in the group wanted to find that person, but at this time, everyone was busy picking up orders, who would pay attention to this?
Lin Yuan silently put away his phone; these were his former colleagues, he couldn’t expose himself.
As for the photo…
After seeing the photo, Lin Yuan already had a simple guess in his mind, and this guess could be quickly understood after the forensic examination.
The person who killed Liu Ming wasn’t one person.
But two.
As for why it was two people, maybe they had been beasts for too long and didn’t know how to be human anymore.
The Criminal System didn’t forcefully require Lin Yuan to commit crimes, so Lin Yuan had the final say on what to do with the system. If the police station couldn’t figure it out… No, according to the clues on the corpse, it should be possible to figure it out.
Lin Yuan looked at his phone a bit helplessly; he hadn’t even earned any money and was already thinking about this and that. Last month’s salary would only be issued in a while.
He rode his Little Donkey away from the police station entrance, and this scene was also captured by someone.
The face belonging to Lin Yuan on the phone was very clear. With a tap of a finger, the photo of Lin Yuan was sent out. As for why the other party secretly took the photo, there were bigger calculations ahead.
