123: Chapter 123 is full of acquaintances.
The person bringing Lin Xiao back to The Police station was a Young Police Officer who looked like he was just in his early twenties.
Lin Xiao's indifferent demeanor seemed to make him very angry.
Before they even arrived at The Police station, he couldn't wait to question him.
"Lin Xiao, you had better come clean. Did you set that fire?"
"Don't try to quibble. We've already found out that you contacted the security guard in advance and prepared a fire hose!"
"Someone tampered with the lights at the Concert Hall. As long as we check the fingerprints, we will eventually trace it back to you!"
"..."
Facing all this, Lin Xiao simply denied it once, then ignored him.
Just as the Young Police Officer said, as long as they investigated according to the clues, they would eventually find the real culprit.
Since they didn't believe his words, there was no need for him to explain.
Seeing that Lin Xiao wasn't cooperating, the Young Police Officer didn't get angry either and said coldly, "Fine, since you don't want to talk here, then we'll talk in the interrogation room!"
But to his surprise, before he could even bring Lin Xiao to the interrogation room, they were stopped halfway.
At the entrance of The Police station, Lin Xiao heard a puzzled voice.
"Huh? Isn't this the Young Master of the Lin Family? Why is he here again?"
Turning his head to look, he saw a familiar face.
After recalling carefully, he remembered it was The Police officer in charge of the dismemberment case in the park earlier.
Lin Xiao smiled brightly, "What a coincidence, Officer Zhang!"
The Young Police Officer was also stunned and asked curiously, "Officer Zhang, you know each other?"
"Of course we do. Who in our team doesn't know him now?"
Officer Zhang smiled and patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder. As if suddenly remembering something, he said to the Young Police Officer, "Oh right, you were just transferred here, so you might really not know him."
The Young Police Officer opened his mouth but couldn't say a word for a long time.
Because many not-so-good things suddenly came to his mind.
Someone who was so familiar with The Police station could only be one of a few types.
An outstanding good citizen, a powerful "insider," or a criminal who had been in many times.
In his eyes, no matter how he looked at it, Lin Xiao's appearance had nothing to do with being a "good citizen."
That only left the "insider" or someone with a criminal record.
And judging by Officer Zhang's demeanor, he didn't seem to have any malice toward Lin Xiao, and even seemed a bit ingratiating.
Could it be that The Police station had already been corrupted by money?
Thinking of this, the Young Police Officer's expression became even uglier.
Officer Zhang was an experienced policeman and saw the Young Police Officer's unease at a glance.
"Where are your thoughts wandering off to? Come, come, let me show you!"
As Officer Zhang said this, he took the lead and walked into The Police station.
Coincidentally, Lin Xiao met another acquaintance on the way.
It was The Police officer in charge of the investigation after a body was discovered while filming a show last time.
Lin Xiao remembered his surname seemed to be Li.
"Yo, Lin Xiao, what is this..."
Just like Officer Zhang earlier, Officer Li was also very enthusiastic when he saw Lin Xiao.
Especially when he saw the handcuffs on Lin Xiao's wrists, he couldn't help but laugh, "Lin Xiao, you haven't been dragged into another case, have you?"
"Ahem, it's okay this time, at least no one died."
Lin Xiao rubbed his nose in embarrassment.
The Young Police Officer on the side was even more confused, "Seniors, you both know him?"
"Didn't I just say? There are very few people in the entire police station who don't know him."
Officer Zhang grabbed the Young Police Officer's shoulder and brought him to The Police propaganda board not far away.
Pointing to a "Helpful Good Citizen" announcement on it, he said, "See that? That's him!"
In the photo on the announcement, a sunny and handsome young man was holding a silk banner and prize money, smiling brightly.
Who else could it be but Lin Xiao?
The Young Police Officer's jaw almost dropped to the floor.
He really was a good citizen?
He had just been transferred here last week and hadn't paid any attention to the news on the notice board.
But then he thought, there are many good citizens who help The Police solve cases every year, and it's not like everyone has such high popularity.
It was probably because of Lin Xiao's identity as the Young Master of the Lin Family!
"You should have heard something, right? There's a strange person who often helps us investigate cases... The one who can do Fortune Telling, that's him!"
Officer Li reminded him.
"Huh? Fortune Telling?"
The Young Police Officer had indeed heard colleagues around him mention this.
But he had received a scientific education since he was young and simply didn't believe in such things.
Moreover, as a police officer, relying on Fortune Telling to solve cases was, in his view, a disgrace!
Officer Zhang and Officer Li exchanged glances because they were all too familiar with the Young Police Officer's expression right now.
It was exactly the look of full doubt they had when they first met Lin Xiao.
They also guessed what the Young Police Officer would say next, so they didn't rush to help explain.
Sure enough, the Young Police Officer looked Lin Xiao up and down and asked skeptically, "If you really can do Fortune Telling, why don't you give me a reading right now?"
"Sure."
Lin Xiao had expected the Young Police Officer to ask this, and fortunately, the gossip system had come online just as they met.
He pretended to pinch his fingers and began to think carefully.
"You must be quite anxious right now, because your wife is currently giving birth at the Hospital, right?"
"You, how did you know?"
The Young Police Officer's expression changed suddenly!
He could be certain that he had only reported this matter to his superior and hadn't disclosed even a tiny bit to any other colleague!
Lin Xiao didn't answer him, but his gaze toward him carried a hint of sympathy.
"However, you don't need to be anxious anymore, because that child... is not yours."
