Chapter 235 - Chapter 235: Chapter 177: You wouldnt suspect that I did it, would you? (Please subscribe) (2/2)
It was more like: not in reality, but in the virtual world.
“You say you’ve never robbed a tomb, I don’t believe that, but saying you have, I also don’t believe that.” Shen Qianqian started to speak in riddles.
“Qianqian, what do you mean by that?” Lin Chuan couldn’t help but ask.
“If you’ve never robbed a tomb, how could you write such a realistic ‘Touch Gold Notes’ about the Seven Stars Lu King Palace?” Shen Qianqian countered.
“I imagined it,” Lin Chuan said sincerely from the back seat of the car.
“Imagination…” Shen Qianqian murmured softly. “Your imagination is too extravagant.”
She didn’t state the obvious, knowing that Lin Chuan would understand why during the interrogation.
“Since you don’t believe I haven’t robbed tombs, why don’t you believe I have?” Lin Chuan asked curiously.
Shen Qianqian laughed and said, “With your skills, if you had robbed tombs, you probably wouldn’t need to write novels anymore, right?”
“Uh…”
Lin Chuan’s face darkened, and he retorted, “Is writing novels that bad?”
“Not at all, not at all. It’s just that with your extraordinary tomb-robbing skills, if you had robbed a few Great Tombs, you’d already be financially free,” Shen Qianqian laughed.
“I wish…” Lin Chuan mumbled to himself.
“Huh?”
Shen Qianqian glared at Lin Chuan with a fixated look.
Lin Chuan laughed sheepishly: “But the law doesn’t allow it; I’m law-abiding.”
“That’s good then.”
Shen Qianqian smiled faintly.
The police car wove through the streetlights and, after waiting through several traffic lights, they finally arrived at Anling Police Station.
Lin Chuan, dressed in casual attire—a light grey T-shirt and loose-fitting jeans—wore a trace of a smile on his face.
He stepped out of the police car, showing none of the panic or confusion expected of a criminal suspect, appearing calm and even exuding a sense of familiarity.
Yes, a sense of familiarity.
As if this place were his old home, or even like his own living room.
“Comrade Lin Chuan, I appreciate you making the trip,” said Captain Liu Daqiang as he waited in the police station for quite a while,
Upon seeing Lin Chuan get out of the car, he approached and shook hands with him amiably, his face beaming with a bright smile.
Lin Chuan smiled in return: “Captain Liu, cooperating with the investigation is my duty.”
“Comrade Lin Chuan, let me introduce you, this is Captain He Zhi, the deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade from Linyi Police Station,” introduced Liu Daqiang, pointing to a fellow officer next to him.
Lin Chuan had noticed a few unfamiliar faces getting off the car, and it turned out they were officers sent by Linyi Police Station.
He looked up at He Zhi.
He Zhi stood about 1.78 meters tall, dressed in a police uniform, with a square face, neat short hair, sharp eyes, and eyebrows that added to his resolute demeanor.
He Zhi stood in front of Lin Chuan, Shen Qianqian, and Liu Daqiang looking somewhat bemused.
Confused, he thought to himself that he had come all the way to Anling, requesting their cooperation in interrogating a criminal suspect involved in a serious case of tomb robbing and murder.
But!
Why were the Anling Police Station officers shaking hands with the suspect, treating him as if they were old acquaintances?
Pondering this, He Zhi pulled Liu Daqiang aside and asked, “Captain Liu, is this the usual attitude of Anling Police Station towards criminal suspects?”
