102: You are so kind, a compulsory course for criminal police: reading the information

With that, the group intended to get in their car and drive away.

“Damn it, they’re not putting me in their eyes!” Ye Lin was enraged and was about to rush over and drag them out one by one, but he was held back by a hand.

A timid voice came from behind him: “Officer, I know them, let them go.”

Ye Lin turned around in surprise; it was An Yunxi who had stopped him.

The group took the opportunity to get into their car and sped off.

“Why did you stop me?” Ye Lin complained. If he hadn’t been afraid of hurting the girl, he definitely would have arrested all of them.

Seeing Ye Lin’s fierce gaze, An Yunxi instinctively pulled her hand back. The initial assertiveness she had in persuading Ye Lin vanished, and she looked at Ye Lin with fear.

Her reaction made Ye Lin feel awkward, and he helplessly tried to comfort her, “I wasn’t scolding you. Don’t be afraid of these people. The more you’re afraid of them, the more arrogant they’ll become, understand?”

An Yunxi quietly lowered her head and said with a wronged expression, “I… I was afraid you couldn’t beat them. You saved someone from A Feng that night, you’re a good person.”

“Sigh…” Ye Lin was speechless. He was just about to explain that he was a man with a system.

However, considering the girl’s good intentions, Ye Lin didn’t want to press the matter further.

“You recognize me?”

“Yes, the Jinhai Club case. They said you were the one who found A Feng,” An Yunxi whispered.

Ye Lin guessed that “they” she referred to were probably the police who took her statement.

“Then you don’t hate me? After all, if I hadn’t been at the scene, your boyfriend might have temporarily escaped.”

Hearing this, An Yunxi seemed to be stimulated. She straightened her back and excitedly explained, “Officer, A Feng deserves to be punished for his wrongdoings. I won’t hate you. Moreover, the sooner you caught him, the lighter his crimes would be. I have no reason to hate you, and it’s impossible for me to hate a police officer who catches criminals.”

Ye Lin smiled faintly. This girl was getting agitated.

“Alright, I understand, I get it. I apologize, okay?” Ye Lin softened his tone.

Hearing Ye Lin apologize, An Yunxi’s puffed-up expression subsided.

“Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Ye Lin, from the provincial city.”

“My name is An Yunxi, also from the provincial city.”

Seeing that the girl’s tone had returned to normal, Ye Lin suddenly felt much more at ease. A strange feeling arose in his heart.

No one spoke, and an awkward silence instantly fell between them.

“Cough, cough.” Ye Lin pretended to cough twice, “Um, those people just now said their boss wanted to see you. Do you know them?”

Ye Lin casually found a topic; the silence was too awkward.

“I don’t know them, but I know it’s the gang that sent them.”

“What do you mean? Who’s behind it?”

An Yunxi’s expression darkened, and she softly said, “Officer Ye, you know too. It’s Lu Shaohui, the person A Feng killed that day. He was from the Lu family. After he died, his father thought it was my fault, so he’s been trying to capture me.”

Ye Lin frowned. It was the Lu family. He remembered what Young Master Fang had said earlier; the Lu family really wanted to retaliate against her.

Ye Lin was a bit annoyed. Yes, their family lost a son, but wasn’t the cause Lu Shaohui himself toying with women? Where was the root cause?

The root cause was their Lu family. Now they’re blaming the girl in turn. How shameless!

“Is their Lu family that arrogant? Don’t worry, I’ll find someone for you. This provincial city isn’t theirs for the taking,” Ye Lin saidDomineering.

He planned to arrange a meeting with the Lu family to discuss whether they wanted to go through official channels or legal ones, and to let them know that Ye Lin wasn’t afraid of them no matter which path they chose.

Upon hearing that Ye Lin was going to confront the Lu family, An Yunxi became anxious, “No, you can’t, Officer Ye. The Lu family is very powerful. Those who came today didn’t even bring anything. What if they bring knives or something? You’d be in too much danger.”

“You are just too kind. Don’t worry, this world won’t let good people suffer. I’m taking care of this matter,” Ye Lin said firmly.

An Yunxi tried to persuade him a few more times, but Ye Lin stubbornly refused to listen. In the end, he even left her his number, telling her to call him immediately if she was in danger.

Soon, the taxi An Yunxi was waiting for arrived. She sat in the back seat, rolled down the window, and looked at Ye Lin standing by the roadside, her eyes filled with emotion. She pursed her lips and said, “Thank you, Brother Ye, you’re a good person.”

Ye Lin felt his heart melt. That face, that expression, reminded him of Stephen Chow’s movie from his previous life. He always remembered that scene:

“Don’t leave, okay?”

“If I don’t leave, will you support me?”

… “I’ll support you!”

… “Crazy.”

Cecilia Cheung’s crying scene left a deep impression on Ye Lin’s mind.

Today, seeing An Yunxi’s pitiful appearance made Ye Lin feel as if he had returned to that movie.

Unable to forget for a long time… Ye Lin, who hadn’t slept well all night, arrived at the Special Task Force early. Guan Hongyuan hadn’t arrived yet, and several comrades who had pulled all-nighters were still sleeping soundly at their desks.

Out of boredom, Ye Lin picked up the documents on the table and began to look through them.

Truth be told, he hadn’t carefully reviewed the information yet.

For criminal investigation, reviewing documents is a very important part. There were once masters who specialized in document analysis, staring intently at videos and texts to find connections and patterns. Many major cases were solved this way, so reviewing documents has always been one of the basic skills of a criminal police officer.

It must be said that the provincial city still had its advantages; the work procedures were much more standardized. For example, the set of documents Ye Lin picked up was very comprehensive.

Ye Lin opened the documents. This was the information about the discovered burial site. The photos and textual descriptions of the scene were very detailed, giving one a sense of being there.

The first set of photos was taken when the body (skeletal remains) was first discovered. A palm, already devoid of flesh and only bone, was exposed from the soil.

The second set of photos showed the process of the first skeletal remains (Victim B) being cleared. Ye Lin felt like he was watching a movie. At this point, Victim B had been cleared, and part of Victim A’s skeleton below was also exposed.

From the photos, it could be seen that Victim B was lying on top of Victim A.

The third set of photos showed Victim A. The skeletal remains lay at the bottom of the pit, leaving a large pit after the Forensic Doctor took them away. There wasn’t much else in the large pit, only a dagger. It was very ordinary, similar to a fruit knife, and probably sold in many places. It seemed difficult to find clues from the dagger itself.

This was roughly the situation at the burial site. Ye Lin closed his eyes, and the scene from the site appeared in his mind. Two bodies were thrown into the pit, and then waves of soil covered them, gradually turning into two piles of white bones.

Over time, three years later, under the erosion of rain, the two skeletal remains reappeared in the world.
