Chapter 454: Chapter 284: Hello, Police Number? (Seeking Subscriptions)_2
Lin Chuan murmured softly.
The Little Landlady swallowed a gulp, “Kill someone, set a fire?”
Lin Chuan gave a sheepish smile, “With the mood and the setting, I couldn’t help but say it.”
Sigh—
The Little Landlady took a deep breath and then headed back to her room, “I’m going to change clothes and go with you.”
“Go where?”
Lin Chuan frowned slightly.
“Aren’t you planning to take action? I’ve practiced fighting for a long time, I’m not the weakling I used to be. I can totally help and fight alongside you against that Yu Qin!” The Little Landlady pumped herself up.
“There’s no need to go out,” Lin Chuan shook his head.
“How can we take action if we don’t go out?” The Little Landlady was a bit confused, looking intently at Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan pulled the Little Landlady back to the sofa.
Then he picked up the mobile phone on the table, opened the contacts list, scrolled to the number listed as ‘Shen Qianqian,’ a private number, and pressed dial.
Beep, beep, beep.
After three rings, the call connected.
Lin Chuan looked at the Little Landlady, smiled, and said into the phone, “Hello, is this ‘Police Number’?”
“Comrade Lin Chuan, this is Shen Qianqian, a professional criminal detective at Anling Police Station. Are you experiencing any problems or emergencies?”
On the other end, Shen Qianqian cooperated with Lin Chuan’s act.
The Little Landlady breathed a slight sigh of relief.
So, the ‘action’ Lin Chuan spoke of was calling the police.
Just now, her heart had leapt to her throat.
While Lin Chuan gently stroked the Little Landlady’s dark, glossy hair, he continued, “Officer Shen, I have important information to report to Anling Police Station. Are you able to contact the detachment leader or the director right now?”
In Anling Police Station.
Shen Qianqian, who was on duty, pursed her lips and smiled, “Did you choose the time knowing they have a meeting tonight?”
Lin Chuan replied, “I didn’t know!”
“I thought you had received some news. They are in a meeting right now.” Shen Qianqian looked up at the clock inside the room, 22:38, “It should be almost over. Do you have any major incident?”
“Not really big, just obtained some information and partial itinerary of one of the heads of a major Southeast Asian criminal syndicate,” Lin Chuan said nonchalantly.
“That’s not something big…”
Shen Qianqian suddenly realized, “What did you just say?”
“Officer Shen, you just said you are a professional criminal detective, and the content of this call must remain confidential throughout, so try not to be too startled,” Lin Chuan lectured with an experienced tone.
Shen Qianqian’s face turned a slight red, “I’ll go to the director right away!”
“Don’t rush, take it slow, they won’t run away.”
Lin Chuan laughed.
Just as Shen Qianqian was about to dash to the police station’s conference room at the speed of a hundred-meter sprint, she slowed down upon hearing Lin Chuan’s words, “Comrade Lin Chuan, thank you.”
“Thank me for what?”
“Thank you for providing valuable clues to the police station!” Shen Qianqian said earnestly, then whispered, “And thank you for calling me.”
She knew Lin Chuan not only had contact numbers for Captain Hu Daqiang and Director Zhang Biao.
But he had chosen to call her.
What did that imply?
Shen Qianqian believed that Lin Chuan was intentionally trying to support her.
As it turned out,
Shen Qianqian was overthinking things.
Lin Chuan simply felt he was more familiar with Shen Qianqian, and given the time, suddenly calling Hu Daqiang or Zhang Biao might seem a bit presumptuous, due to less frequent contact.
As for the implications, Lin Chuan hadn’t thought too much about it.
Anling Police Station, the conference room.
Director Zhang, wearing a black jacket, had a few more strands of white hair at his temples.
He looked around, the room was filled with detachment leaders, each one of them with noticeably heavy bags under their eyes.
