Chapter 33: A Case Triggered by a Good Deed

Early morning, Lin Xiaosu was awakened by a dog’s bark. As soon as he woke up, he felt the flow of true qi throughout his body. With a tap of his toes, he reached the door, opened it, and saw Miao Ruolan.

Miao Ruolan was holding his clothes, which were surprisingly crisp.

“Did you even iron these for me?”

Miao Ruolan smiled faintly, “I was mainly afraid they wouldn’t dry in time, so I ironed them, and they dried last night… The boss has to go through procedures today; you can’t go running around in my dad’s old pajamas.”

Lin Xiaosu took the clothes. “Let me correct you. We’re partners. I’m your boss, and you’re my boss. Besides… Ruolan, no matter what you do, it’s worth more than 2,000 a month.”

Miao Ruolan’s lips quietly curved up. “Why don’t you tell Lao Zhou? He gives me 750 yuan every half month, acting like it’s a great favor…”

“Once we set up the detective agency, we’ll take him down!” Lin Xiaosu’s reply came from inside the room.

Miao Ruolan chuckled.

Being with him seemed to make her particularly happy.

Lin Xiaosu stepped out of the room, his crisp pants, crisp jacket, and the special vibe that radiated from the tips of his hair, making him look quite handsome in Miao Ruolan’s eyes.

In the yard, the electric scooter was already charged. As Miao Ruolan got on, she suddenly stopped, “How about you ride?”

Lin Xiaosu didn’t refuse. He got on the electric scooter, and with Miao Ruolan, they sped off like the wind.

The mountain road was narrow, with cliffs on both sides. However, the electric scooter gracefully stirred up the leaves on both sides, whizzing through the dense forest…

Miao Ruolan hugged his waist from behind, a blush rising on her cheeks again.

It wasn’t nervousness. With their current ancient martial arts skills, nothing could happen to them here. Even if the scooter overturned, they would both have the ability to react.

She just felt like she had chosen the wrong approach again…

Yesterday, when she rode, he hugged her from behind, making her body feel weak all over.

Today, she dared not have him behind her again.

Instead, he was driving with her behind him.

With this change, things were natural in the back, but the front was a little sensitive. If this guy drove slower, she could naturally keep her distance, but once he sped up, due to inertia…

She had originally wanted to remind him not to rely on his ancient martial arts skills and speed on unsuitable roads.

However, under this strange feeling, she seemed to have become lazy and didn’t want to remind him.

What she didn’t know was that today’s driving had nothing to do with whether Lin Xiaosu practiced ancient martial arts or not. Lin Xiaosu was already a top-notch motorcycle rider. At the 101 Training Ground, he had completed countless high-difficulty maneuvers that were a hundred times more thrilling.

Some of his moves were even adopted by the system as trial projects for new members.

The electric scooter came off the mountain road and onto Fengcheng Avenue, and the speed slowed down.

They drove all the way to Fengshan Police Station.

Miao Ruolan looked at the police station building. “Do we process the procedures here?”

“Yes, detective agencies are a little different from other businesses, they need to register with the public security bureau… Officer Zhou!”

Lin Xiaosu’s last three words were spoken louder.

A car that had just come out from inside stopped abruptly, the window rolled down, and it was Zhou Mei.

Heaven is my witness, Lin Xiaosu clearly saw a hint of surprise flash in this officer’s eyes. What was going on?

“You… why are you here?” Zhou Mei asked.

A young male police officer in the passenger seat leaned his head back slightly to allow Zhou Mei to talk to Lin Xiaosu.

“I need to see you about something.”

Zhou Mei said, “Okay! Xiao Sun, put your work aside for now.”

“Sister Zhou, this can’t be put aside, Team Leader Zhang is watching, and asked us to be sure to…”

“Are you listening to me or him?” Zhou Mei glared at him, “Get out of the car and take this Mr. Lin to the reception room and make tea. I’ll park the car!”

The young police officer surnamed Sun had no choice but to get out of the car and take Lin Xiaosu and Miao Ruolan to the reception room, where he made tea for them.

He really didn’t understand.

How urgent was the task at hand?

Sister Zhou was an experienced police officer. How could she not distinguish between what was important and what was not at this time? She was actually receiving guests at this time…

While he was pondering this, Zhou Mei came in.

She smiled warmly, “Tell me, what can I do for you?”

“Officer Zhou, it’s like this, I plan to open a detective agency in Fengcheng. According to the regulations, I need to file a record with the Public Security Bureau…”

Xiao Sun interrupted, “Mr. Lin, there’s someone at the front desk to handle registration matters. You can go directly to the window, Sister Zhou, we should go now…”

Zhou Mei didn’t get up, and smiled gently, “I’m sorry, Xiaosu, this Xiao Sun is new and doesn’t know better. You can continue!”

Lin Xiaosu smiled slightly, “Officer Sun watched videos all night and didn’t sleep. He just wants to solve the case, that kind of spirit is commendable, if you have something urgent, go ahead and do it, I can handle it at the window.”

Officer Sun frowned suddenly, “How do you know I watched videos all night?”

“…” Zhou Mei was also surprised.

Even though she knew Lin Xiaosu’s abilities, she still couldn’t accept such a magical thing.

To be able to see that someone hadn’t slept all night was already a sign of good eyesight, but to know that they hadn’t slept because they were watching videos, unless you had been hiding outside their window watching them…

Lin Xiaosu smiled, “You can tell from Officer Sun’s eyes! The signs of not sleeping all night are very obvious. So, what would he do if he hadn’t slept all night? When doing different things, the eyes will have different expressions. The edge of his eyes are a bit bloodshot, showing that he has had his eyes wide open and unmoving for a long time. Combining that with how hurriedly you two came out, I can confidently determine that Officer Sun was watching videos last night to search for criminal clues.”

Zhou Mei and Officer Sun looked at each other.

Zhou Mei let out a soft breath, “I’m impressed! Are you telling me that you have the ability to open a detective agency?”

“Yes, since I plan to open a detective agency, I naturally need to have the corresponding professional skills. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a joke?” Lin Xiaosu raised his teacup.

Zhou Mei said, “Opening a detective agency is not just about filing a record, there are also a pile of procedures. If you handle it yourself, I estimate it would take you two months to complete.”

“I know! But what can I do? I’ll just take it slowly.”

Zhou Mei said, “I can help you with it. If I handle it, everything will be ready in a week at most.”

Lin Xiaosu smiled. “…”

“Don’t get too happy too soon, I have conditions!” Zhou Mei said, “Help me think of a solution for this case I’m dealing with! Only if you can help me solve this problem will I focus on helping you!”

Officer Sun, who was sitting sideways on the office chair beside them, trembled slightly and looked at Zhou Mei with some disbelief.

Inviting an outsider to help…

Was that within protocol?

Lin Xiaosu shook his head slightly, “I knew you would pull this move! Who asked me to need your help? Alright, I’ll help you, and then you’ll help me!”

Zhou Mei was excited, “Xiao Sun, bring the case file over here!”

“Sister Zhou, this…” Xiao Sun hesitated.

“I know what you want to say, don’t say it. Bring it here!”

Miao Ruolan clearly did not understand the conversation between the two.

If it were the previous Lin Xiaosu, he wouldn’t have either.

But how could he be the same as before?

He understood that this was about rules!

Confidentiality of ongoing cases was a discipline.

Zhou Mei, based on her urgent need to solve the case quickly, had to ask for his help, but this was essentially a violation of regulations.

To solve such a dilemma, the best approach was to avoid details and only solve the core issue…

Lin Xiaosu said, “There’s no need for the case file. Officer Zhou, just tell me about it…”

“Okay, this whole thing started with a good deed…”

Someone picked up a bag and, not being able to find the owner, sent it to the police station.

If this was just a regular bag, this action would be a standard good deed.

The problem was, when the bag was opened, there was no cash inside, but there were drugs! A full three kilograms!

For a drug case with such a terrifying scale, in this small county, it was already a huge deal!

Now the Criminal Investigation Team is looking for this owner. The place mentioned by the person who picked up the bag was in a video monitoring blind spot. They had reviewed a bunch of surrounding videos for analysis (this is what Xiao Sun was watching last night), but they still can’t find the owner.

That was the situation, a shocking case caused by a good deed.

In a normal lost and found situation, the owner would thank the finder for their honesty. But this time, it was not known if the owner would thank the finder or curse them.

Anyway, everyone in the team was laughing and crying.

No matter how funny this case was, they couldn’t laugh, because their superior gave a firm order that the case must be solved within three days, otherwise, after a long time, the people on the criminal line would transfer their assets and personnel, and in the end, they wouldn’t be able to catch anyone…
