Lin Yuan helps solve the case!

Lin Yuan felt a wave of helplessness. What was the motive? If he told him the motive was 'moving chickens', Team Chen's gaze towards him would probably be different.

Before, warning the homeless man was logical and well-founded, but what could he use to prove it now? He couldn't possibly tell him it was the system's reminder.

In his helplessness, Lin Yuan could only shrug his shoulders sheepishly: "I don't know that."

"Ai~~" Team Chen sighed: "I was too anxious. We haven't even confirmed the victim's identity yet, I'm overthinking it!"

Time passed minute by minute. Under the hard work of the Forensic doctors, all the bodies were taken away for examination.

The onlookers at the scene gradually dispersed.

After this incident, all the Fishing Enthusiasts obediently packed up their rods and went home.

Now, let alone a hundred-pound giant carp, even if there were a ten-thousand-gold ground tiger, probably no one would dare to fish here.

The most miserable among them was Xiao Hu.

He had painstakingly stood guard for a day and a night, throwing in several generations of corn as bait, but in the end, he didn't catch any fish, only a month's worth of psychological shadow.

At least for a short time, he wouldn't dare to casually look for such deserted fishing spots anymore.

And this area, being the primary crime scene, was completely sealed off.

As the first person to report the crime, Lin Yuan naturally had to follow Team Chen back to give his statement.

When Director Yang saw Lin Yuan, he was already numb. He personally brewed tea and conducted the interview while drinking it.

It didn't end until past 6 PM.

Just in time, Director Yang took the opportunity to treat Lin Yuan to a meal.

Because of what happened yesterday afternoon, Director Jiang had specifically called him to say that his appointment document would be issued in at most one month.

This felt like a dream to him.

A few days ago, he still felt that he was not far from retirement, but who would have thought that ever since Lin Yuan arrived, he had been like a person with a cheat code, continuously solving major cases.

The bureau had already nominated them for collective second-class merit several times, just waiting for the procedures above to finish. By then, promotions and salary increases for everyone in the police station would be a given.

Such a grand occasion made Director Yang sigh, why didn't Lin Yuan come earlier?

If he had come twenty years earlier, he might have even climbed to the position of director.

But when he thought about today's case, he suddenly felt a headache.

Risks often coexist with opportunities.

He could be promoted naturally because Lin Yuan helped the police solve major cases.

But today's matter was much bigger than the previous cases.

More than twenty people were missing from the vast West Sea City, and no one even knew about it.

This was infinitely more terrifying than the previous case of missing ashes at the funeral home.

That one involved dead people, but this case involved living people who were lost.

And their deaths were extremely tragic.

Once such a horrific and heinous murder case spread, it would inevitably cause panic throughout West Sea City.

Yesterday's mercury poisoning hadn't been suppressed yet, and today a terrifying dismemberment case popped up.

Damn, people living in this city were really unlucky, constantly living in fear.

But the question was, could they blame Lin Yuan for this?

He didn't commit the crime.

To say he was a jinx?

That was even more nonsensical.

If it weren't for him, these cases probably wouldn't have been discovered for many years.

It could only be said that Lin Yuan's arrival had rooted out the hidden diseases in the dark corners of West Sea City.

Looking healthy when you're not isn't true health.

Completely solving the illness, that's true health.

So Lin Yuan could definitely be considered a hero of West Sea City and a benefactor of their police station.

Therefore, he was not stingy with this meal.

He spent a month's salary to treat them, and Team Chen also got to benefit.

However, at the dinner table, after a few drinks, troubles came one after another.

Director Yang looked at Lin Yuan with a bitter face: "Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan, I just found out today that I'm getting a promotion, but if this case isn't handled well, I'm afraid I'll have to retire on the spot!"

Team Chen also smiled bitterly and sighed upon hearing this: "Director Yang, don't say that. We should all be grateful to Lin Yuan."

"Yes, yes, yes!! I misspoke, I'll punish myself with a drink!"

Lin Yuan looked at the drunk Director Yang and smiled helplessly: "Director Yang, if you're not feeling well, go back and rest."

"How can I do that? The higher-ups have already called me to put pressure on me. I'm afraid I'll have to work overtime tonight. How can I have the mind to sleep?"

"Hey Team Chen, later you help me contact the information department and have them issue an announcement. Say that for this case, providing actual clues will be rewarded with 10,000, and if someone can help find the true culprit, the reward will be 500,000!"

As soon as these words came out, Team Chen's expression changed, and he exclaimed in shock: "500,000!! Director Yang, is it that much?"

"Heh~~" Director Yang smiled bitterly: "This is what Director Jiang said. Because our city has continuously solved major cases recently, the higher-ups praised our city during a meeting."

"Now, suddenly, such a thing happens, isn't that slapping the leaders in the face!"

"Oh~~" Team Chen frowned and nodded, seemingly also feeling an unprecedented pressure.

However, what was said casually was heard with intent.

Lin Yuan, sitting on the side, raised an eyebrow and suddenly asked: "That... Director Yang, you just said that if someone helps find the culprit, the reward is 500,000, right?"

"Hmm?" Director Yang looked at Lin Yuan in surprise: "Yes, what's wrong? Don't tell me, you're not selling your house and you're going to help us find the culprit."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan grinned: "Uh, if there's 500,000... it's not impossible, you know~~"

Director Yang's expression froze upon hearing this, then he shook his head with a smile: "Forget it. The culprit is extremely vicious, it's not that easy to find."

Team Chen also smiled bitterly and advised: "That's right, Lin Yuan, don't look at the large sum of money, this money is not easy to get."

"Don't think that guessing the victims were homeless means the case will be easy to solve. It's still uncertain, and even if you're right, most of them hide in areas without surveillance, making it difficult to find clues."

Lin Yuan looked at the two constantly trying to dissuade him and smiled faintly: "What if I said I had a way to help you solve the case?"

As soon as these words came out, the two immediately looked shocked!

Their eyes widened simultaneously as they looked at Lin Yuan, exclaiming in unison: "Really or fake!"

The Photographer next to them also looked incredibly surprised.

Looking at their expressions, Lin Yuan smiled and waved his hand: "Fake! I do have a lead on how to solve the case, but I can't guarantee it will definitely solve it!"

Upon hearing this, Director Yang and Team Chen couldn't sit still anymore!

They stood up directly and said excitedly: "What's the lead? Even a tiny bit of hope is fine!"

Lin Yuan chuckled: "Well, it's not convenient to say. If you trust me, let me try. Oh, and for my safety, Team Chen, you'll have to cooperate with me."

"Okay!"

"No problem!"

As soon as the words fell, the two blurted them out without thinking.

The netizens in the live stream were all stunned by this scene.

[Popularity] +1+1+1+1

— [Goodness, you're not even hiding it anymore, are you? Halfway through selling your house, you go and help the police solve a case. You're really neglecting your proper work. You might as well just cooperate with the police directly from now on. Why bother selling houses?]

— [Crazy, crazy!! More than twenty people died, and it was dismemberment. You, a real estate agent, go solve a case? Isn't that seeking death? Seriously, I'm really afraid that if he keeps doing this every day, something will happen sooner or later.]

— [Don't say that, maybe Lin Yuan really can solve the case. Think about all the things he encountered before. If it were normal, which one wouldn't take a long time to solve? But he, he solves them on the same day every time. I have a hunch that this case might even be solved today.]

— [You're joking. This is a major dismemberment murder case. Do you really think the police are useless? Who dares to say they can solve a case overnight? Why can Lin Yuan? Anyway, I don't believe it!]

Team Chen asked doubtfully: "How do you want me to cooperate with you?"

Lin Yuan smiled faintly: "It's very simple. First, find three sets of dirty homeless clothes, then follow me closely and protect me. Just don't talk."

"Three sets of homeless clothes?" Team Chen's expression paused, and in the next second, he suddenly thought of something: "You're not planning to pretend to be a homeless person, are you?"

"Hmm? Wait a minute!" The Photographer looked left and right, completely bewildered: "Why three sets, bro... You didn't include me, did you?"

Lin Yuan glanced at him disdainfully: "Uh-huh~~ What else? Aren't you filming 24 hours a day?"

"No!!" The Photographer's expression was like a frost-bitten eggplant upon hearing the affirmative answer, his face grim: "Bro, that's a dismemberment case culprit, do we really have to go solve the case? I don't want to die!"

"What are you afraid of!" Lin Yuan waved his hand indifferently: "Isn't Team Chen protecting us, right, Team Chen!"

Hearing this, Team Chen's face twitched.

He secretly felt a little regretful. He was careless, agreeing too soon!

He had thought Lin Yuan had some amazing method.

But he wanted them to pretend to be homeless people?

What kind of police solve cases like that?

Isn't this child's play!

But when he thought about what had happened to Lin Yuan, which one wasn't beyond imagination?

Plus, he currently had absolutely no clues for solving the case.

Perhaps another miracle would happen with Lin Yuan?

After all, he was very good at creating miracles.

Thinking of this, Team Chen felt much more at ease and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I swear on my life to protect your safety!"

Director Yang looked at Team Chen in surprise, then at Lin Yuan: "Is this... is this method reliable?"

Lin Yuan shrugged: "It's up to you. Anyway, I have nothing to lose."

"No, no, no!!" Director Yang quickly stood up and said with a reassuring smile: "Okay, I'll go back immediately and have them help you guys dress up as homeless people."

"Good! And tell me where the homeless people gather in West Sea City."

Just like that, the dinner party ended abruptly.

The group rushed back to the police station and began to get busy.

Only the Photographer looked utterly lifeless, with a bitter expression.

He kept nagging Lin Yuan, trying to persuade him not to go: "Bro, we can't solve cases and stream, right? You're so popular now, the culprit might be watching your live stream. If the culprit sees you, won't he just hide?"

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and felt it made sense: "Hmm, you're right. But what does it matter? If he hides, he hides."

"If he watched my live stream, he would definitely know that the matter has been exposed. Even if I don't look for him, wouldn't he still hide?"

"Ah, this..." The Photographer was stunned by what was said. After thinking carefully, he really couldn't refute it, so he just remained silent reluctantly.

Lin Yuan smiled and patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, the probability of us finding the culprit isn't high."

The reason he agreed to help solve the case was partly for the 500,000, and partly because he felt this case couldn't be delayed.

Once the culprit discovered that the homeless were being noticed by the police, he would inevitably restrain himself and hide.

It would be much harder to solve the case then.

If the culprit wasn't caught, the dead wouldn't get justice, and the living would be in danger at any time.

Based on his understanding of the perverted nature of such culprits, they would definitely not stop here.

They would eventually come out to harm people again.

And Lin Yuan possessed hidden information that others didn't, making it relatively easier to find the culprit.

Right now, he was gambling that the culprit hadn't watched his live stream.

Tonight, he would personally act as bait to see if the culprit would take it. If not, then it would just be a wasted trip.
