Zhou Changfeng didn’t ignore the breakthrough that Lin Yuan provided and started questioning Zhong Anguo again.
After the interrogation, they obtained a confession that was different from the previous one.
“This case may have to be investigated further. We originally thought that catching the murderer would be enough, but now it seems that this was a premeditated crime.”
A solemn expression appeared on everyone’s face. This was no joke.
With such a dangerous person in Haishi, no one knew what would happen next.
After sending a copy of the recording and notes to Director Guan, Zhou Changfeng finally had time to talk to Lin Yuan.
“What did you mean by those two sentences you asked me to say earlier? The raincoat wasn’t his own that he lost?”
Even though Zhong Anguo didn’t explicitly say who he was related to, the meaning was that someone else must have helped him dispose of the raincoat.
If that was the case, the case involved a third party.
“Whether he threw it in the trash can or nearby doesn’t make much difference. You’re just making a guess, Officer Zhou. I think, would an ordinary person commit such a crime for no reason?” Lin Yuan said.
“‘Maybe that raincoat is someone else’s handle on him.'”
A handle?
Indeed, even if a local in Haishi’s son lost his job, it wouldn’t be a big deal. He wouldn’t need to commit such a crime.
After some simple thinking, Zhou Changfeng decided to investigate what Zhong Anguo and his son were hiding.
The police station had a rough direction. Lin Yuan asked Zheng Yunyin for a piece of paper, wrote his bank card number on it, and strode away.
“After the case is over, please transfer the money over, officer. Thank you.”
When the paper landed in her hand, Zheng Yunyin completely lost her good impression of Lin Yuan.
She said to the female police officer beside her speechlessly, “I thought this guy was helping the police station out of goodwill, but it turns out he’s just in it for the money.”
The female police officer was much younger than Zheng Yunyin. After hearing her say that, she shook her head and explained, “It’s already good that he’s going to the police station. Some people wouldn’t even say anything even if they knew the clues, wasting people’s time.”
That was the problem of human nature.
Moreover, the price offered by the victim’s family wasn’t high, which could help Lin Yuan to live a better life. The vast majority of people in their police station weren’t in such a bad situation.
But that Lin Yuan, it was said that he was an orphan.
After returning on the subway, the first thing Lin Yuan did was pack his luggage to move. Exposing his address wasn’t a good sign.
If the other party also had a Criminal System like him, wouldn’t that mean that their ability would be stronger than his?
Lin Yuan didn’t dare to gamble. He planned to leave after taking the money.
But things often didn’t go as well as he thought. The District C Police Station had obtained a key clue in Zhong Anguo’s case.
Initially, what determined Zhong Anguo’s involvement wasn’t the raincoat, but the bloodstains on the pillar. The police station compared the blood with Zhong Anguo’s, and the results matched.
Zhou Changfeng was the one who called Lin Yuan to tell him about this, but after speaking, he realized something.
Lin Yuan was just a member of the public, and he didn’t need to explain the details of the matter to him, after all, he also had to work.
“It’s good that the right person was found. Officer Zhou, thank you for your hard work.”
After that, a sum of money was transferred to Lin Yuan’s bank card. If Zhou Changfeng hadn’t stopped them, they would have come to thank him.
Money wasn’t everything.
“The biggest credit for this case still goes to him. It would be great if he could tell us all of his thoughts.”
The District C Police Station still had many unsolved cases. If Lin Yuan could give them novel ways of thinking, it would be very beneficial for their next actions.
It could be said that it was to be used as an example.
Looking through the announcement issued by the police station in the morning, it had been confirmed that Zhong Anguo was the one who committed the crime. As for the motive, the official explanation was that his son was unemployed and under a lot of pressure and didn’t think clearly.
In fact, this sentence was still worth considering.
Lin Yuan found a screenshot from a few days ago. Zhong Anguo’s son’s current company was a private enterprise. According to his son’s resume, he shouldn’t be able to get such a high salary.
Almost every month, there was also an extra bonus.
The relationship between them would depend on the police station’s further investigation.
The moment for him to appear was over. Lin Yuan sighed, the insulated box on the back of the electric scooter was empty.
Before Officer Zhou contacted him again, he still had to deliver food.
…………
District C Police Station meeting.
Many people attended this meeting. Apart from Zhou Changfeng, who didn’t belong to District C, the others were captains in charge of various departments.
They were holding this meeting to discuss Zhong Anguo’s case.
On the conference table were more than a dozen photos of the deceased. The connection between these cases wasn’t strong. It could be said that they were all confusing.
Only one thing, unlike those few girls, there wasn’t a case where the same method was used multiple times.
“I think it’s very necessary to let Lin Yuan take a look. He knew the location of the raincoat from the beginning, and he also knew what Zhong Anguo was hiding. Maybe he can be a breakthrough.”
If Lin Yuan said what he knew, then everything could be easily solved.
“What if he only knows a small part? Can’t our police station rely on the existing clues to analyze these cases one by one?”
Some people also raised objections.
Zhou Changfeng was typing on his phone while they were talking. He was one of the younger captains, and this wasn’t a formal meeting, so there was no need to be too restrained.
After they finished speaking, Zhou Changfeng said, “Whether it’s the case or the internal affairs of the police station, the best way to involve Lin Yuan is to give a reasonable reason. In addition, this matter may be a coincidence. Even if we directly interrogate Lin Yuan, he may not be able to give us the corresponding answers.”
From an ordinary person’s perspective, Lin Yuan was just a food delivery worker. Would involving him mean that the police’s ability was insufficient?
Furthermore, Lin Yuan had his own job.
Would there be compensation for someone to spend their time and energy helping their police station?
These were all things that Zhou Changfeng didn’t want to say explicitly. They were in the police station to work, and perhaps some people were there for a higher title.
But Lin Yuan was different from them. Realistic factors needed to be considered.
“…I remember, the position of consultant in District C has always been vacant, right?”
Director Guan spoke after he finished speaking.
“Director, you want this Lin Yuan to be our police station’s consultant?”
The police officer from the Archives Department frowned.
Not everyone could sit in the position of consultant. If this Lin Yuan was just lucky, wouldn’t giving him the spot be a laughing stock?
If Director Guan could say it, then he must have already thought of a solution.
“I will negotiate with the platform. Lin Yuan will only stay here for a week. If there is any change in the cases in the bureau within a week, I will decide on Lin Yuan’s position as a consultant.”
The salary during this period would be paid normally, which would be easier and higher than delivering food.
But that was the cost that the police station had to pay.
“Isn’t it a bit too childish? Making such a rash decision, if it’s a waste of time…”
The criminal investigation captain only said half of his words when he saw Director Guan staring at him with a smile.
“The Zhong Anguo case was your responsibility, right? What have you found after so long?”
“If we’re talking about wasting time, I’m doing the same.”
There was nothing that didn’t require a sunk cost. Director Guan understood this principle, and so did the others.
The criminal investigation captain said that because he wanted to save face, he was indeed a little embarrassed on this trip.
The matter was settled like this, and Zhou Changfeng was of course responsible for contacting Lin Yuan.
He chose a time to eat dinner and called Lin Yuan.
At this time, Lin Yuan was eating with Zhang Ya and answered the phone.
“Hello?”
“Lin Yuan, Director Guan of District C hopes that you can serve as a consultant for the police station, but you need a week to prove your ability. I have sent you the requirements and salary for the consultant. Would you like to consider it?”
So fast?
Lin Yuan was surprised by the other party’s speed, and he quickly agreed.
Before he could say anything to the platform, the platform automatically requested leave for him, and it wouldn’t deduct any rewards.
“Who was that calling? And about the last time I told you, it’s really easy to deliver food there. We don’t need to spend much time. Basically, it’s a company ordering food.”
Zhang Ya had barbecue sauce on the corner of his mouth.
Tonight, Lin Yuan treated him to barbecue. The two of them had run a lot of orders these past few days, and they could finally rest well.
In addition to Lin Yuan’s move a few days ago, Zhang Ya felt that he had to treat him to a meal since he didn’t tell him.
“Just a friend, I probably won’t be able to have dinner with you for the next week. I’ll treat you to a meal when I get back.”
“Ah? Are you going back to your hometown?”
Zhang Ya asked in confusion.
Didn’t you just go for a month?
“No, it’s just a personal matter. I should be back when it’s done.”
Lin Yuan didn’t explain too much. He couldn’t say, “Brother, I’m going to hang out at the police station for a while now, can I?”
After finishing dinner, Lin Yuan was walking on the road, thinking about the police station. The other party would definitely not simply use a case. In his mind, he had formed a relationship chart of the people involved with Zhong Anguo.
Currently, the most room for maneuver was on Zhong Anguo’s son.
The other party didn’t do anything out of the ordinary, but he was fired just like that. It was impossible that there was nothing fishy about it.
After getting a little clue, Lin Yuan turned on his phone and asked Zhou Changfeng to prepare the case first, and he would go over to take a look tomorrow.
As a result, Zhou Changfeng sent him Zheng Yunyin’s contact information. He wasn’t from the District C Police Station, and he couldn’t work for free all the time without pay, right?
Lin Yuan didn’t mind and clicked on the friend request.
