You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

[Sin Value: 300]

This value is not considered top-tier according to the system's judgment standards.

In the cases Lin Chen has handled, he has seen many demons with sin values ​​in the thousands.

Three hundred—this number is more like a cold-blooded executor, a knife held in someone's hand, stained with blood.

Lin Chen's gaze pierced through the hundred-meter-high sky, through the throng of people, and precisely locked onto the edge of the warning line.

It was a man wearing a yellow delivery uniform.

He was wearing a helmet, which almost completely hid his face in shadow.

He stood out from the crowd of people around him, who were filled with fear, curiosity, and busy taking photos to post on social media.

He showed no panic, nor did he raise his phone in curiosity like the others.

He simply stood there quietly, tilting his head slightly upwards, his gaze behind his goggles directed towards the rooftop where Lin Chen was, a faint smile playing on his lips.

That wasn't sympathy, nor was it fear.

That's a kind of appreciation.

It's the satisfaction a craftsman feels when examining a piece of work he has just finished.

Lin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, a cold glint flashing within them.

[God-level Hearing], now activated!

Instantly, the noisy and chaotic sounds of people, traffic, and sirens downstairs receded like the tide.

The only sounds in the entire world were those within a meter of the deliveryman, amplified infinitely and clearly reaching his ears.

The deliveryman seemed to have had his fill of admiring the scene. He slowly turned around and walked unhurriedly into a dark alleyway with no streetlights.

He pulled an old-fashioned keypad phone out of his pocket and skillfully dialed a number blindly.

The moment the call connected, a low voice, tinged with a hint of boasting, clearly entered Lin Chen's mind.

"Boss, the fish has jumped."

His voice was calm and even.

"Very obedient, the posture is very standard."

A muffled static came from the other end of the phone, as if someone was explaining something.

The deliveryman nodded, his tone becoming increasingly relaxed.

"Don't worry, the ledger has already been 'cremated' before him."

After saying that, the deliveryman hung up the phone, put his phone back in his pocket, and skillfully hopped onto an electric scooter parked at the alley entrance.

"Buzz—"

The electric scooter silently merged into the traffic and quickly disappeared into the night.

From beginning to end, he was unaware that all his actions were being watched and listened to by a pair of eyes and ears.

"Lin Chen?"

Su Qingge walked to Lin Chen's side and keenly noticed the change in his aura. Looking at the meaningful smile on his face, she couldn't help but ask.

She followed Lin Chen's gaze and looked down. Apart from the police and onlookers, there was nothing else downstairs.

"What did you discover?"

"Don't make a fuss."

Lin Chen withdrew his gaze, his voice extremely low.

"Cast a long line to catch a big fish."

He raised his hand and pointed seemingly casually in the direction where the deliveryman had disappeared.

"Remember the license plate number of that electric scooter, Jiang A-74889."

"Check the car owner's information and recent movements, but don't alert him."

Su Qingge's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately understood what was going on.

She nodded emphatically, didn't ask a single question, and immediately took out her phone to send the license plate number to her colleagues in the technical department.

This unconditional trust has become an instinct after several cases.

"Hey! What are you two whispering about up there?!"

Seeing the two's "intimate" actions, Li Mingyu's jealousy and resentment reignited.

He strode over, pointed at the locked fire door, and almost shouted to emphasize it.

"I'll say it again! All the evidence points to suicide! Don't waste police resources with this charade!"

Lin Chen finally turned around.

He neither refuted nor argued.

She simply glanced at Li Mingyu with an expression as if he were an idiot.

There was no anger or disdain in those eyes, only pure, undisguised pity.

Then, he turned around, put his hands in his pockets, and walked straight toward the stairwell.

This silent contempt is more lethal than any vicious language.

Li Mingyu felt his cheeks burning, and he froze on the spot, trembling with anger.

Su Qingge didn't even glance at him, and quickly followed Lin Chen's pace.

……

One hour later.

Municipal Public Security Bureau, Emergency Meeting Room of the Special Task Force.

The huge circular conference table was filled with heads of various departments, and the atmosphere was somber.

The ashtray was already overflowing with cigarette butts.

The head of the Economic Crime Investigation Division, a middle-aged man with a receding hairline, was sweating profusely as he gave a presentation using a PowerPoint presentation.

"Director, colleagues... we have checked all of Taian Financial's accounts for the past three years, and on the surface... there is nothing wrong with them."

His voice carried a deep sense of frustration.

"Although there have been rumors that their project is a Ponzi scheme, their financial team is very professional, and we cannot find any evidence of any illegal flow of funds."

"Every single account was meticulously prepared, so compliant it was frightening."

He pushed up his glasses and helplessly spread his hands.

"The deceased, Liu Zhiqiang, was the company's CFO and the only person who might have had access to the core accounting books."

"Now that he's dead, our only lead has been completely cut off."

"well……"

Lu Zhenhua sighed heavily, rubbing his aching temples.

The city leaders have called three times already, each time with a sterner tone, demanding that the case be closed as soon as possible to quell public opinion.

Now, things have gotten even worse. Not only is the case still not closed, but it has changed from "suicide" to "murder," and the leads have gone cold.

"I already said it was suicide, but they insist on investigating it as murder."

"Now it's hopeless; there's nothing left to investigate. Not only has it wasted a lot of police resources, but it's also put the municipal bureau in a passive position regarding public opinion!"

Li Mingyu glanced at Lin Chen, who was sitting silently in the corner, and complained sarcastically.

"Consultant Lin, what do we do now? Can you give us some more guidance? We can't solve cases based on imagination alone, can we?"

All eyes instantly focused on Lin Chen.

There were concerns, doubts, and even schadenfreude.

Su Qingge gripped the pen tightly, her phoenix eyes fixed on Lin Chen, filled with anxiety, but even more so with trust.

She believed he would have a solution.

In this oppressive and suffocating atmosphere.

Lin Chen suddenly spoke up.

His voice remained calm.

"If the physical evidence is gone, then we'll look at the data."

Li Mingyu scoffed as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"Check the data? Haven't the experts from the economic crime investigation and cyber police already checked it? You? Consultant Lin, everyone has their own expertise. Do you know accounting or coding?"

Lin Chen completely ignored Li Mingyu.

He stood up and looked directly at Lu Zhenhua, who was in the main seat.

"Chief, give me a computer."

"The configuration needs to be the highest level."

Lu Zhenhua was stunned.

He looked into Lin Chen's calm and deep eyes, his mind a complete mess.

Reason told him that this was absurd; even a professional cyber police team was helpless, so what could a criminal investigation consultant do?

But his past experiences kept reminding him that this young man was always capable of creating miracles.

"Kobayashi, you..."

Lu Zhenhua was about to speak up to persuade him, but was interrupted by Lin Chen's calm gaze.

"Chief, please believe me."

These six simple words carry an undeniable and powerful confidence.

"……good!"

Lu Zhenhua slammed his hand on the table, having made up his mind.

I'm taking the gamble!

He refused to believe that his judgment of people could be wrong!

"Go! Bring me that 'Thor' from your team! Now! Immediately!"

"Chief!"

The head of the economic crime investigation team suddenly stood up, his face full of disbelief.

That "Thor" terminal was a top-of-the-line police terminal that the cyber police brigade spent three million yuan to apply for. It was their prized possession, and they were reluctant to use it carelessly.

Now, they're actually going to let a layman "play" with it?

"Execute the command!"

Lu Zhenhua roared, brooking no argument.

The face of the person in charge of the economic crime investigation instantly turned a deep purplish-red.

He glared at Lin Chen, practically spitting out a single word through gritted teeth.

"yes!"

Ten minutes later.

Two junior police officers struggled to carry a black, futuristic-looking mainframe computer and three huge curved screens into the conference room.

All the cables were connected in a flash.

When the blue breathing light on the main unit lit up, the temperature in the entire conference room seemed to drop a few degrees.

All eyes were focused on this performance monster and the man who was about to sit in front of it.

There was curiosity, there was anticipation, but mostly there was a wait to see the joke.

Su Qingge's heart pounded in her chest, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her palms.

Li Mingyu stood with his arms crossed, leaning against the wall, his mocking smile now completely undisguised.
