284: Chapter 284 Lin Xiao Killed Someone

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, the Bank Manager immediately became uneasy.

His sharp-featured, monkey-like face was full of anger.

"Let me tell you, if you keep spouting nonsense, I can sue you for slander!"

"Go ahead and sue. This is a police station. If that doesn't work, you can go to court."

Lin Xiao curled his lips, not taking the Bank Manager seriously at all.

After speaking, he didn't forget to add, "Besides, I'm just telling the truth."

"You..."

The Bank Manager was so angry he wanted to curse.

But just at this moment, his phone rang.

"Hello? What... Ah? Born?"

The Bank Manager's eyes immediately lit up. "Boy or girl?"

However, after the person on the other end finished speaking, his smile gradually froze on his face.

He turned his head sharply to look at Lin Xiao.

Then his expression changed constantly, from shock, to anger, and then to surprise...

Finally, only emptiness remained in his eyes, and he muttered to himself, "How is this possible? How is this possible!"

Qiu Xiaoyan was frightened by the Bank Manager's sudden change.

She leaned closer to Lin Xiao and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with him?"

"Maybe it's because when he had a child, it really was born without an anus..."

Lin Xiao replied in a low voice as well.

"Ah?"

Qiu Xiaoyan couldn't believe it.

Although their discussion was quiet, the Bank Manager still heard it clearly.

Indeed, the call he just received was from his own mother.

He learned that his pregnant wife's water had broken suddenly, and shortly after being sent to the Hospital, she gave birth to a son.

But the child really did have a slight defect, just as Lin Xiao had said.

Although the Hospital said it could be treated with surgery.

But he couldn't help but feel that this was no coincidence!

This made him feel a bit panicked, but when facing everyone, he still stubbornly said, "My family matters have nothing to do with you. I can tell you clearly, the bank's regulations are like this, it's useless no matter what you say!"

The police officer on the side couldn't bear to watch and couldn't help but advise, "Regulations are rigid, but people are flexible. This mother and daughter have it rough, and the other documents are complete. Just process it for them."

"Officer, you might not know, but our bank often gets these kinds of unreasonable people. If I make an exception once, I'm afraid everyone will come looking for trouble later!"

The Bank Manager spoke righteously, as if he were truly upholding his principles and doing a good deed.

This left the police officer not knowing what else to say.

Mrs. Qiu, who had been silent on the side, sighed lightly.

She could see that today, this Bank Manager was going to stand his ground against them to the end.

Helplessly, she had to look at Lin Xiao for help, "A-Xiao, I might have to trouble you again this time to see if you can calculate where the key to the safe is."

"Huh? Calculate? Fortune Telling?"

The Bank Manager looked mocking, "I think you guys are truly crazy."

Lin Xiao rolled his eyes at him and chuckled, "That's right, Fortune Telling! As for whether I calculate accurately or not, you should know best in your heart."

The Bank Manager suddenly thought of his son's situation, his face turned pale again, and he stopped talking.

Qiu Xiaoyan and Mrs. Qiu were immediately overjoyed to see Lin Xiao say this.

"A-Xiao, can you really calculate it?"

"Hmm, I suppose I have, but..."

Speaking of this, Lin Xiao shook his head silently and said regretfully, "The key was hidden in the old man's watch, and it was burned together during the cremation."

"How could this happen."

Mrs. Qiu frowned slightly, "Is there really no other way?"

When the Bank Manager heard this, he was happy again.

Now that the old man had passed away and the key had been cremated with him.

That meant the things in the safe were destined to be unretrievable.

After the heat died down, he could secretly take the things and sell them.

By then, even if this son had a physical defect, he could just have another one!

"Actually, there is still a way."

Lin Xiao suddenly said, "Although the key is gone, I can ask the old gentleman to testify!"

"Huh?"

The Bank Manager thought he had misheard.

He quickly reacted, frowned, and said, "What? Are you starting to be unreasonable now? Want to play that superstition game? Let me tell you, I never believe in those things!"

After a moment of astonishment, Qiu Xiaoyan and Mrs. Qiu quickly became excited.

"A-Xiao, do you have some secret technique that can bring people back to life?"

Mrs. Qiu's eyes lit up.

She really missed her father.

Although it was a bit outrageous, she still held a glimmer of hope.

Qiu Xiaoyan was equally expectant.

She had always regretted not having said a proper goodbye to her grandfather.

If there was a chance, she also wanted to see her grandfather again.

They looked at Lin Xiao with burning gazes, waiting for him to summon the old gentleman's ghost.

But unexpectedly, Lin Xiao just snorted coldly.

Then, with lightning speed, he raised his leg and kicked the Bank Manager hard in the chest!

The Bank Manager, completely unprepared, was kicked flying!

It all happened too fast.

By the time everyone reacted, the Bank Manager was already unconscious.

The police were also stunned.

This was the first time he had encountered someone committing assault in the police station.

If it were anyone else, they would definitely have been detained immediately.

But the person who committed the assault was Lin Xiao, which made him hesitate.

"Lin Xiao, what are you doing?"

"A-Xiao, what are you doing?"

"..."

Lin Xiao looked at the Bank Manager lying on the ground and said calmly, "I don't have the ability to bring the old gentleman up, but I can send him down so the old gentleman can testify to him personally!"

"..."

For a moment, the surroundings were silent.

This logic sounded quite reasonable.

But the meaning of "send him down," could it be...

The police officer reacted first, trotted over to the Bank Manager, and pressed his fingers against his neck.

A moment later, the officer's expression changed drastically.

"He... is dead?"

Did Lin Xiao kill someone?
