Chapter 235: Chapter 177: You wouldn’t suspect that I did it, would you? (Please subscribe)

At dusk.

The setting sun gradually descended, painting the sky with strokes of orange-red twilight; distant mountains softened and blurred in the afterglow.

The streetlights along the roadsides began to light up one by one. Beneath the dim yellow lamps, the shadows of trees danced, and a gentle breeze rustled their leaves, producing a whispering sound.

A police car drove out of Linjiang Mansion, threading its way through the shadowy streets, heading toward the police station.

Lin Chuan was in that police car.

The residential area of Linjiang Mansion was much closer to Anling Police Station compared to Happiness Community.

However, due to the evening rush hour, a journey that would normally take about ten minutes required considerably more time.

In the car.

“Officer Shen, what’s the deal with my case?” Seated in the back of the police car, Lin Chuan took advantage of the traffic jam to ask.

“Comrade Lin Chuan, you are currently a criminal suspect—should you be asking that?”

Shen Qianqian turned her head, blinking with a smile.

According to protocol, it indeed wasn’t permissible to disclose details of the case at this time.

A corner of Lin Chuan’s mouth twitched: “Officer Shen, you’re not going to abandon me now, are you?”

Shen Qianqian smiled gracefully and said, “Lin Chuan, your case is indeed mysterious. I heard it caused quite a stir over in Linyi. So much so, they sent two officers over to collaborate with us on your interrogation.”

“That much attention?”

Lin Chuan’s eyebrows rose slightly, his expression somewhat surprised.

Normally.

For minor cases, it is standard to notify neighboring police stations, allowing them to assist in the investigation. This approach saves a great deal of manpower and resources.

It’s only for major cases that personnel are personally dispatched to carry out joint inquiries.

“Isn’t that right?”

Shen Qianqian pursed her lips, giving Lin Chuan a slight glare with a trace of reproach: “Who told you not to stay out of trouble?”

She did believe in Lin Chuan.

But Qin Sisi had told her the basics and, considering the overwhelming evidence, she was a bit worried for Lin Chuan.

If anything happened to Lin Chuan, well…

This guy, truly a source of constant worry.

“Officer Shen, I’ve been wronged!” Lin Chuan immediately protested his innocence.

“I’d be glad if you really were.”

Shen Qianqian chuckled with her lips pursed, then suddenly asked out of the blue, “Lin Chuan, have you ever robbed a tomb?”

Hmm?

Lin Chuan’s lips twitched slightly: “Objectively no, subjectively yes.”

“Huh?”

This time it was Shen Qianqian who was thoroughly perplexed: “Either you have or you haven’t—what do you mean ‘Objectively no, subjectively yes’?”

Lin Chuan chuckled and explained, “It means I’ve never robbed a tomb, but I’ve had similar thoughts.”

To be exact.
