Lin Zhengyi asked a question in return.
"Then why don't you explain?" Lu Zhilian continued, frowning.
"I don't need to explain because there's no need to. That's just my usual income, what I can earn!" Lin Zhengyi said seriously.
“Inspector Lin, don’t joke with us. We know you’re a senior inspector, and your usual salary is only ten thousand. Plus, you’re a crime-solving expert who has solved many cases and received a lot of bonuses, but all that’s added up to only a few hundred thousand.”
“Your properties add up to over 80 million. Tell me, how can your income be enough?” Lu Zhilian questioned.
Lin Zhengyi listened and smiled slightly, saying, "I said I have enough income, but I didn't say that all my income comes from my job as a police officer. I have some hobbies, and those hobbies bring me a little extra income. That's not unreasonable, is it?"
"A hobby?!" Lu Zhilian raised an eyebrow.
"Officer Lu, didn't you check with the bank to find out where my money came from?" Lin Zhengyi retorted.
Lu Zhilian shook his head.
He wanted to investigate, but the bank kept it confidential, citing a desire to protect customer privacy.
They were only willing to mention Lin Zhengyi's savings.
"No wonder!"
Lin Zhengyi suddenly realized, "If you had investigated where the money came from, you wouldn't be here today!"
"Then, Inspector Lin, would you be willing to tell me?" Lu Zhilian asked.
"certainly!"
Lin Zhengyi nodded.
Lu Zhilian, however, wore an expression that suggested he was eager to hear more.
Seeing this, Lin Zhengyi explained directly, "As I said before, I have some hobbies, and my hobby is writing fairy tales. After I wrote a fairy tale before, the book was published in Europe and then it became a hit by accident. It sold very well and brought me a little bit of income."
"Therefore, I have the money to buy a villa and have over ten million in savings. That's fine, isn't it reasonable?"
Listen to it!
That's utterly unreasonable!
Lu Zhilian frowned and couldn't help but ask, "Is Inspector Lin joking with me? What kind of fairy tale is worth so much money?"
It wasn't that Lu Zhilian didn't believe it.
This is just too bizarre!
He wrote fairy tales and amassed so much wealth; just the amount he could calculate was already close to 100 million. How can you expect him to believe that?
Lu Zhilian knew some writers, but those people were lucky to earn a few hundred thousand yuan a month, most were struggling to make ends meet, and the most they earned were only a few million yuan.
Fairy tales are a relatively niche genre in book writing, and the income from them is often halved!
“I know Inspector Lu doesn’t believe me, but I have a contract at home. Come back with me and take a look?” Lin Zhengyi smiled slightly and said.
Is it
it is true?
Lin Zhengyi's confident demeanor actually made Lu Zhilian somewhat believe him.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Okay, I'll go with you to take a look!"
Regardless, you'll know whether it's true or false once you take a look!
Then!
He took Lin Zhengyi out of the interrogation room, put him in his car, and drove him to Lin Zhengyi's house.
About two hours later.
Lu Zhilian brought Lin Zhengyi back again.
"I was so blind to your abilities. I never imagined that writing a fairy tale could make so much money!!!" Lu Zhilian sighed as he looked at the contract that Lin Zhengyi and the publisher had just signed in his hand.
On the way back, he looked at the contracts over and over again and was basically certain that they were genuine.
But it was precisely because of this that he realized he had been looking down on people.
He never expected it.
Writing a fairy tale can actually make so much money!
"If you still don't believe me, Mr. Lu, you can call the publishing company, or call your friends in Europe, or friends of friends who live in Europe, and see if they know about this book," Lin Zhengyi suggested with a slight smile.
The moment Lu Zhilian saw the contract, he was already 90% certain.
but!
Out of caution, he followed Lin Zhengyi's suggestion and called the publishing company to inquire, as well as his friends in Europe.
finally!
He was certain that what Lin Zhengyi said was true.
"Inspector Lin, we misunderstood you. We're sorry, you can leave now!" Lu Zhilian apologized sincerely.
"It's ok!"
Lin Zhengyi waved his hand and said, "You investigated the report as soon as you received it, which is doing your job well!"
After saying that, he stood up and said, "Alright, I'll be going now if there's nothing else!"
He didn't want to stay in this godforsaken place any longer!
Lu Zhilian smiled apologetically and said, "Take care!"
Lin Zhengyi nodded and left.
Chapter 153 Bottom Line
Who exactly reported me?
After leaving the ICAC, Lin Zhengyi couldn't help but ponder to himself.
It seems he didn't offend many people. And most of them were either imprisoned or killed.
Very few people can report him.
But given how few such cases there were, he couldn't immediately think of anyone who would have reported it!
And it was not far from Lin Zhengyi!
Huang Ziyang quietly hid in a corner, watching Lin Zhengyi emerge from the ICAC, and couldn't help but mutter, "Damn it, why did he come out?"
That's right!
Lin Zhengyi was the one who reported him.
Ever since Lin Zhengyi and He Min got together, he has held a grudge against Lin Zhengyi and wanted to find a way to trick him.
later!
After accidentally seeing Lin Zhengyi drive into Tianhu Villa, he felt that there was something wrong with Lin Zhengyi.
Tianhu Villa is a place where rich people live, and as far as he knew, Lin Zhengyi's parents were both dead and were not rich before they died. His relatives were even less wealthy, so it was impossible for them to enter such a place.
Following this lead, he first went to the Housing Bureau to investigate and was surprised to find that the property under Lin Zhengyi's name was worth more than 80 million!
Eighty million!
Based on Lin Zhengyi's salary, it would be impossible for him to buy so many houses even in a hundred years.
therefore!
He deduced that Lin Zhengyi might be embezzling or accepting bribes, or even doing some illegal or criminal things, otherwise he would never have been able to afford such an expensive house.
Based on this!
He promptly reported Lin Zhengyi.
Furthermore, after the ICAC brought him back, he waited outside, intending to ask a friend about Lin Zhengyi's final fate after the ICAC officers went off duty.
Unexpectedly!
Lin Zhengyi actually showed up?
This really surprised him.
That's when.
Lin Zhengyi seemed to sense something and glanced in the direction where Huang Ziyang was.
Although Huang Ziyang quickly ducked, Lin Zhengyi recognized him at a glance.
"It's Huang Ziyang!!!"
Looking at the other person's figure, Lin Zhengyi immediately realized that it must have been this bastard who reported him.
otherwise!
What are they doing at the ICAC entrance?
And he was secretly watching himself!
Is he just bored and has nothing better to do?
That's obviously impossible!
"That bastard! I didn't pay much attention to him before because I didn't think he posed much of a threat. I never expected him to turn around and try to trick me!"
"No, to avoid encountering such trouble again in the future, we must think of a way to completely destroy him!" Lin Zhengyi thought to himself.
Lin Zhengyi's first thought was to physically eliminate the opponent.
It has to be said that Lin Zhengyi has become quite addicted to the recent physical elimination of enemies, which not only requires little thought but also solves problems quickly and efficiently.
Therefore, his first thought was to eliminate the opponent using physical means.
But after thinking it over carefully, he managed to control himself and rejected the idea.
People should have a bottom line!
He had used physical means several times before, either because the other party threatened his life or his girlfriend, and Lin Zhengyi couldn't find any evidence of their crimes for the time being, so he resorted to these methods.
To put it bluntly, he only used it because the other party truly deserved to die.
