Chapter 468: Chapter 291 Encyclopedia of Crime_2
Lin Chuan, with such behavior, was no less than simply looking at a crime scene for one round before pointing at one of the individuals and asserting, “You, are the murderer!”
Ridiculous!
Extremely ridiculous!
Even a godly detective, a famous sleuth, would definitely not be capable of solving a case so quickly.
But Lin Chuan just could.
After taking a look at the Drug Enforcement Team’s office area, he identified the flower shop across the street from the window as the suspect in this wiretapping case.
He Song swallowed and asked, “Brother Lin, how did you come to that conclusion?”
“That street can be seen from the windowsill of your office, the balcony of the narcotics office hall, and the outside corridor. The shops within view happen to be within the range for monitoring signals and receiving radio waves. I looked a few times and saw a car parked next to the flowerbed in front of that flower shop; it didn’t seem like it moved often.”
Lin Chuan explained.
If nothing unexpected happened, those potted plants were also bought from the Warm Flower Shop.
It’s also possible they were delivered by the shop.
“I’ll make a call to confirm the source of the potted plants.” Now believing Lin Chuan without a doubt, He Song immediately took out his phone and made a call to a subordinate to confirm the source of the potted plants.
Everyone listened by his side.
He Song didn’t shy away.
On the phone, he didn’t mention the issue with the potted plants specifically but merely said he really liked the last batch and wanted to buy more to plant at home for self-improvement purposes while also decorating the house.
His subordinate responded on the phone, “Captain He, that shop is just across the street behind us. Those potted plants from the last time were all sent by them.”
“Alright, I know. I’ll drop by when I have time.”
He Song hung up the phone, his gaze falling on Lin Chuan as his thumb involuntarily raised in approval.
Incredible!
Hu Daqiang nudged He Song with a grin, “Captain He, you see, the person I recommended to you, not bad, right?”
He Song let out a long sigh of relief.
By now, it was basically certain they had uncovered the reason for the leak from within the team and found the party responsible for the eavesdropping: the Warm Flower Shop. All that was left was to collect the evidence and confirm it.
He Song believed that the results of the verification would likely be not much different from Lin Chuan’s deductions.
For this matter, he had not only received his share of criticism but had also blamed himself considerably.
Now, the stone hanging in his heart was finally about to come to rest.
He looked at Lin Chuan with a smiling face, full of admiration, “Brother Lin, if it hadn’t been for you, I suspect our Drug Enforcement Team would have been searching for another month without necessarily finding the source of the wiretap. I’m so grateful to you.”
Lin Chuan waved his hand modestly, “It was just a simple effort.”
“Lin, you see the sky nearing evening, it will soon be time for dinner. How about, we have a meal together?” He Song invited enthusiastically.
Lin Chuan’s mouth twitched slightly as he looked up at Shen Qianqian.
Shen Qianqian immediately said, “Captain He, tonight Lin Chuan has plans.”
“Quite the busy man.”
He chuckled.
Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow, “Captain He, how about tomorrow? I don’t have plans for tomorrow evening’s dinner yet.”
The group burst into laughter.
The office suddenly filled with cheerful air.
The gloom that loomed over He Song’s heart also swept away in an instant.
As Lin Chuan left the police station,
it was already evening.
In the southern winter, there were no snowscapes; at sunset, the horizon gradually embraced a tender streak of orange-red. The slanting rays cast warm-colored strokes, falling on mountains, rivers, and the urban area, a thin layer of golden glow, very delicate, adding a touch of gentleness and tranquility.
Winter, with shorter days and longer nights.
It wasn’t long before night enveloped the area, and the curling smoke from the countryside also hid in the dimness.
