"Yang Pei, what's wrong? Do you suspect Old Chen's son?"
Qin Jianxiong, deputy chief of the North District Police Station, who is over fifty years old, said with a smile.
"Master, didn't you say that suspicion is the key to success for criminal investigators?"
Yang Pei replied with an awkward smile.
"You brat, did I say that? Hey, stop calling me 'Master' so affectionately. I've only been taking care of you for six days."
Qin Jianxiong laughed and scolded.
"A teacher for a day is a father for life. Hehe, in front of others I call him Director Qin, but now it's just the two of us, so of course we call him our teacher and father."
"Yes, Master, why would Chen Shumin lie? He clearly had his morning tea alone."
"Does this person usually like to hang out with friends?"
"I do like him, and this guy is extremely concerned about his image."
"Isn't that settled? He's just trying to save face, trying to impress you, and he's too embarrassed to admit he was drinking tea alone."
"That's true, but... wait a minute, if he's someone who loves crowds, why would he be having morning tea all by himself so early in the morning? And why would he choose to come here?"
Yang Pei muttered in confusion, then looked up and asked the waiter:
"Hey buddy, are there any other special customers this morning?"
...
December 25th was an unusual Christmas day; the tense yet lively atmosphere quickly passed.
Just as Lin Dong had predicted.
The province deployed over 10,000 police officers to conduct interception and investigation operations at highways, railways, airports, and border crossings throughout the province, but still found nothing.
It wasn't until 10 a.m. the next day that Liu Yufeng's pursuit team found the abandoned armored truck in the Shangshi Industrial Zone of Dezhou City, 60 kilometers away from the North District.
The armored truck was covered with mottled bloodstains and footprints.
Inside the carriage, nine large, empty boxes that had been opened were conspicuously visible; the cash that had been inside was nowhere to be found.
The other 15 small cash boxes that the bank had reported also disappeared.
However, there were two boxes of cash and three boxes of bank drafts left, all untouched.
Most surprisingly, a Type 54 pistol was found in the back seat of the armored truck.
A crucial lead has emerged in the case.
...
Following the robbery, security personnel redeployed armored trucks and escorts, and Lin Dong was given extended leave to assist the police investigation.
Lin Dong slept soundly until 1 p.m. the next day, as he was exhausted from the ordeal the previous day.
The moment he opened his eyes, he couldn't wait to sense his sea of consciousness:
[Black Gold System, Wealth Points Balance: Yuan.]
Fortunately, the system and the money are still there.
Lin Dong let out a long sigh of relief and sat up with a swift motion.
I got up right away and brushed my teeth and washed my face in a good mood. It's so nice to have a day without having to get up for work.
Few people can understand the feeling of suddenly becoming a millionaire.
I had just washed my face and was about to go downstairs to buy something to eat when there was a knock on the dormitory door.
Lin Dong's expression hardened, and he thought to himself:
"This person still came? Could it be that the course of fate has truly changed?"
He suppressed his unease and asked:
Who is it?
"It's me, Liu Yufeng, from the Criminal Investigation Team."
It really was him!
Lin Dong quickly opened the door and let Liu Yufeng into the house.
Liu Yufeng was still wearing the same gray jacket as yesterday, his hair was a little messy, and he looked tired, obviously he hadn't slept much last night.
Liu Yufeng's presence here proves that the robbery case has taken a turn for the better.
The most likely scenario is that they had already discovered the abandoned armored truck in advance, thus tracking it to the dock where the robbers boarded the ship to escape.
In my past life, the police found the armored truck at 2 PM on the second day after the incident.
It's only 1 p.m. now, and Liu Yufeng has already rushed back. They probably found the armored truck this morning.
The course of historical events seems to have been slightly altered by his own words.
"Captain Liu, is there something you need?"
Lin Dong closed the door and asked, feigning surprise.
"I just got back from assisting with the investigation and was heading back to the station when I suddenly remembered you, so I came up to check on you. Are you alright? Did you sleep well last night?"
Liu Yufeng looked around the room and touched the upper bunk of the iron-framed bed, which was covered with a thin layer of dust:
"You live in a dorm room by yourself?"
"Yes, nothing can escape Captain Liu's sharp eyes, hehe..."
Lin Dong smiled.
"Come on, this is a big case. Your files have all the details. By the way, didn't you go visit Chen Jingming? The hospital said he's awake and out of danger."
"May I visit you in the hospital?"
"Of course you can. Just register your identity before entering the ward, and the conversation will be supervised throughout."
"Forehead?"
Lin Dong was speechless and couldn't help but think to himself, "What's the point of talking about this? Besides, I'm not familiar with Chen Jingming, so I'd better not go to avoid any unnecessary trouble."
Liu Yufeng casually walked to the desk, flipped through a few books on the table, and finally picked up the complete Sherlock Holmes stories.
Do you usually like reading detective novels?
"Just flipping through it casually, hehehe..."
"I see you didn't just flip through it casually; you've practically worn the book out and even taken careful notes. Not bad."
Liu Yufeng flipped through the detective book in his hand and exclaimed in admiration:
"You've got some brains. No wonder you thought the robbers might choose the waterway. Tell me, how did you guess that?"
Lin Dong was picking up a porcelain cup, pouring a cup of hot water, and handing it to Liu Yufeng. Hearing this, he paused for a moment, then replied in a low voice:
"intuition."
"Don't give me that, you little brat, are you going to talk or not?"
Liu Yufeng cursed, deliberately putting on a serious expression.
