Chapter 488 - Chapter 488: Chapter 303 I Want to Arrest Him! (2/2)
Li Tong then continued reading.
Ten minutes.
Half an hour.
Two hours.
Until two-thirty, Anling Police Station had resumed its working hours, yet she was still engrossed in Lin Chuan’s “Ace Agent.”
Thud, thud.
Qin Yun walked in dressed in a police uniform and saw Li Tong holding her phone. He chuckled, “Sister Li, still watching?”
Li Tong finally snapped out of it and looked at Qin Yun.
She put down her phone, “Qin, is Lin Chuan still at the police station?”
“He left early in the morning with Officer Shen. What’s up, do you need him for something? I can try contacting him now,” Qin Yun asked.
Li Tong pondered for a moment, then suddenly blurted out, “I want to arrest him!”
“Ah?”
Qin Yun’s eyes widened in surprise.
Arrest Lin Chuan?
Lin Chuan was currently our key protection target.
He was also repeatedly emphasized as an important figure by both Han River Police and Anling Police.
Why arrest him?
“Sister Li, I don’t understand,” Qin Yun hesitated for a long while before managing to say.
Li Tong chuckled, probably laughing at herself, “He’s too much like an agent.”
“Like?”
“No, wrong!” Li Tong corrected herself, then quickly changed the subject, “He is a professional agent, even more professional than me!”
“Really that professional?”
Qin Yun was just an ordinary International Police, relatively less experienced compared to Li Tong, especially inexperienced in going undercover. He didn’t have a deep understanding of the agent profession. Hence, when he read “Ace Agent,” he could only sense Lin Chuan’s professionalism.
But exactly how professional, he wasn’t sure.
“Indeed, very professional,” Li Tong nodded and said, “That’s why I really want to arrest him.”
“There should be a presumption of innocence!”
Qin Yun quickly corrected Li Tong.
Li Tong smiled, “I still have that much common sense. But if this is somehow related to a case, this novel is very likely his criminal record.”
Qin Yun laughed out loud, “Sister Li, are you also joking?”
“Is this a joke?” Li Tong’s eyes widened, “This is the truth!”
“His comment section mostly contains these types of comments, ‘criminal record’, ‘criminal suspect’, ‘you’re supposed to write novels, but you actually experienced it’, ‘this is your autobiography’, haha,” Qin Yun laughed.
Li Tong also smiled warmly, a few laugh lines showing at the corners of her eyes.
Suddenly, she remarked wistfully, “If Lin Chuan were part of our Criminal Police Brigade or on our side, our undercover police would have a significant improvement.”
“Sister Li, are you serious?” Qin Yun asked.
“Of course.”
“But, it seems the rules don’t allow it,” Qin Yun said. “Lin Chuan has also repeatedly declined Anling Police’s invitations. I heard that Modu Police also invited him to join, but he declined that too,” Qin Yun threw out the information.
“That means he’s quite in demand,” Li Tong said with a smile. “If his identity is verified, as for the rules, well, there might be some flexibility.”
Now it was Qin Yun’s turn to be surprised.
Sister Li, I just recommended a novel to you, and you’ve taken a fancy to this author?
“Do you want him to give us International Police some undercover or agent training?” Qin Yun asked hesitantly.
Li Tong smiled, took a sip from her thermos to moisten her throat.
Then, she said with a laugh, “It’s just a preliminary idea, an impulsive thought. Whether it can be implemented, or should be implemented, depends on how he continues to write and the intentions from above.”
“Above” meant reporting to Zhao Haiping.
If Zhao Haiping also nods his approval, then it becomes feasible.
Unknowingly.
Li Tong felt conquered by “Ace Agent.”
She finally understood why such seemingly ordinary web novel writers could gain the recognition of Anling, Han River police, and even Zhao Haiping’s old partner—Zheng Ming.
Being a web novel writer could very likely be just his cover!
“Sister Li, you might want to check out Lin Chuan’s other books, you might find something else,” Qin Yun laughed again.
Li Tong raised her eyebrows.
Lin Chuan had so many other books.
Theft, swindler, assassin, hacker, fraud, antique forgery…
Eh?
Last time he had arrested Croney.
This English “King of Killers” had also fallen into his capture.
His assassin novel?
“This Assassin Is Too Professional”!
That’s the one!
Li Tong thought for a moment, exited “Ace Agent,” and opened up “This Assassin Is Too Professional!”
“…”
Time slipped by without notice.
An hour.
Two hours.
Three hours.
Until five-thirty, Li Tong remained immersed in Lin Chuan’s novel.
She read very carefully, and very quickly.
Tens of thousands of words from the novel were absorbed by her vision.
At that time, Qin Yun was organizing some files and wasn’t very busy. He occasionally glanced at Li Tong, clearly seeing the complexity in her gaze.
There seemed to be doubt, surprise, anticipation, and contemplation.
“That’s it, Sister Li has fallen in,” Qin Yun thought secretly to himself.
Lin Chuan’s novels were just like that, having a special kind of reader.
Indeed, they were crafted precisely for a certain group.
Oh no, two groups.
Police and criminals.
Readers from these two groups, upon seeing Lin Chuan’s novels, couldn’t take their eyes off.
Even someone as strong as Li Tong was no exception.
It was time.
End of work hours, Qin Yun quietly reminded, “Sister Li, shall we go eat something first?”
“Eat?”
Li Tong looked up, slightly coming back to her senses.
“This is Anling, it will be dark soon,” Qin Yun explained.
“Oh, oh.”
Li Tong quickly agreed, then all of a sudden, her eyes narrowed and sparkled, “Qin, help me set up a dinner with Lin Chuan tonight. I’d like to invite him for a meal!”
