The person who called the police was the murderer, a rather blackly humorous conjecture. Chen Tinghan initially did not understand the origin of this statement, until he watched Lin Xueyan leave the coffee shop and Zhou Jinwei sent him a text message, then he realized that someone was trying to stir up trouble.
As the newly appointed acting captain, Lao Zhou had never heard of this statement before today. Moreover, it suddenly popped up from the ground like mushrooms after rain, just before the task force was disbanded.
Moreover, this statement has become the direction of follow-up for the task force to a certain extent.
Although it is difficult to say what will be found out and what kind of trouble it will cause to Chen Tinghan, it is not a good signal for such an incident to happen at a time when Lao Zhou has just taken this position.
Coincidentally, Lin Xueyan came to this conclusion earlier than the police and asked her family to secretly inquire about similar news. She didn't care at all whether her savior was an unforgivable murderer. All she wanted to do was repay him. However, the police didn't care about favors or not.
You must prepare early.
The situation is not so urgent that you need to prove your innocence. Taking the initiative to find something to do seems too deliberate. It is better to choose passive defense. First, find someone to pretend to be the reporter, the motorcycle driver, and fabricate some life details to make it look real, and then wait for others to come to you.
The biggest problem with this preparation is who will impersonate the non-existent reporter.
Lao Lu is a good choice. Although he is not a qualified "spy", he is a qualified veteran who has dealt with the police and will definitely not be stage-frightened.
Even if the truth is revealed, with Zhou Jinwei's cover, he can make a thousand excuses to cover it up. His underage status is also Chen Tinghan's biggest cover, so it should be foolproof.
It's probably foolproof, right?
"Alright, Master, just wait and see. When someone shows up, my acting skills will be absolutely flawless. I'll be able to win the Golden Figure right away!"
Looking at Old Lu who made such a boast, Chen Tinghan suddenly felt a little regretful.
He took a deep breath and said, "The chances of someone coming to your door are slim, but I still want to remind you again. If anyone asks you when you've been, where you've been, or what you've done, try to use ambiguous answers like 'I can't remember,' 'maybe,' or 'probably.' Use clichés when speaking."
"I understand." Although Lao Lu's tone was a bit casual, his expression was unexpectedly serious. Chen Tinghan rarely saw him so serious.
Forget it, there is no other choice anyway.
Old Lu was serious for no more than ten seconds before he immediately smiled and said, "Young Master, aren't you going back to Binjiang Community today?"
"I have an appointment, just take me here." Chen Tinghan took his schoolbag from the car.
His residential complex is actually called Changdi Garden, but every time he took the bus home, he would report the address as Binjiang Community, one kilometer away, and then walk back after getting off the bus. It can be said that he was overly vigilant. It seems unnecessary now, but old habits die hard.
"If you want a ride later, give me a call. I'll be hanging around."
"Okay." Chen Tinghan responded and walked across the street with his bag on his back.
Today is the day that Li Zishan is coming to visit my home. The original plan was to find a good restaurant near the community where Chen Tinghan lives, have a meal together, and then go home to draw and color the unpainted action figures.
But later, she grew tired of the weekend nights when street vendors were packed with people. She could tolerate it in a spacious place, but she didn't like the crowds inside. She preferred to buy some prepared food on the street and enjoy a quiet, leisurely dinner at home.
Chen Tinghan moved a few steps to the inside of the street and saw Li Zishan waiting in front of the shop.
She was also looking around, and happened to meet Chen Tinghan's eyes. She pursed her lips, glanced at him, and said angrily, "You're so slow."
He said jokingly, "As an apology, Mr. Chen will pay for all the food today."
The girl glared at him, unwilling to suffer any loss, and said, "Don't even think about it. Today it's my turn."
"Okay, come here." Chen Tinghan took her schoolbag, which was surprisingly heavy. She reminded him, "Be careful, the figurines and boards are all in there."
The two walked on the street of the open-air market. There were a few shops selling vegetables, meat and fish in the front of the street, and mostly delicatessens in the back. There were one or two supermarkets and a few barber shops at a distance, and occasionally a few small stalls. At lunchtime, there were not many people. Occasionally, a few motorcycles and electric donkeys would come in, pick up their meals in front of the store and then leave.
Li Zishan also discovered that many people here knew Chen Tinghan. From the moment he walked into the street, many shop owners greeted him. Not only those in the restaurant business, but also the gas delivery man passing by knew him.
Chen Tinghan leaned down slightly and whispered in her ear, "They sell a lot of prepared food here, from braised goods and roast chicken to crispy barbecued meat and boxed sushi. If you want to eat porridge and noodles, there are also several old shops with traditional craftsmanship. The taste is good."
Perhaps because the wind couldn't blow into the street, it was a bit stuffy. The girl's face flushed slightly. After moving to the side, she said, "Let's see if there are any snacks I want to eat along the way. Finally, let's buy some staple food. You can recommend it."
Chen Tinghan nodded, quickened his pace, and led Li Zishan into a store.
The store sells ready-made cooked food. There is a row of pickled vegetables and salted vegetables at the door, and the plump red juice exudes a sour, salty and spicy aroma. Inside is a warming cabinet with various roasted chickens.
"Oh, Chen's boy, what do you want?" The shop owner was middle-aged, a tall, strong and generous woman. As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the girl following Chen Tinghan in. Her eyes lit up: "Oh my god, such a beautiful girl, is she your girlfriend? How dare you bring her here? No one is home today? Be careful or I will tell your parents about you and say you are in a premature relationship."
"Sister Zhang, don't joke. We're just classmates." Chen Tinghan smiled and shook his head. He lowered his head to pick vegetables and asked, "How's business these past two days?"
Sister Zhang smiled widely, gave a thumbs-up and said, "You've got a solution. All of us businesses here want to thank you."
"I'm just making a suggestion. You're the ones who are helping yourself." Chen Tinghan ignored her flattery. He chose his dishes and pointed at a few, saying, "I want these. Give me a whole roast chicken, some chicken liver and chicken intestines, and a little of everything."
"Okay."
Li Zishan, who was standing beside her, was bothered by the sudden interruption of the topic. She blinked and asked, "What did he do?"
"He didn't tell you?" Sister Zhang was a bitch. She didn't explain and said with a smile, "He's done a lot of things. He's boosted business on our entire street. Little sister, let me tell you, your boyfriend is amazing. Don't let him get away."
