10: Lin Pei escaped from the police station? Run!

Lin Pei rubbed his hands together.

What should he do?

He had been exposed so quickly.

He couldn't exactly rat out the system.

The main issue was that this reason sounded even more ridiculous; its credibility was far worse than the previous one.

Across from him.

Xu Feng stared at Lin Pei's lowered head, his eyes narrowing.

Still claiming to be innocent.

He'd finally shown a flaw, hadn't he?

He wanted to see how Lin Pei would explain himself.

During the stalemate, Lin Pei's eyes suddenly lit up.

He remembered the brocade pouch he had won during the last system lucky draw.

The system said that opening the brocade pouch at a critical moment could help him resolve a crisis.

If not now, then when?

He had been so flustered that he only just remembered it.

Lin Pei thought to himself, "System, open the brocade pouch."

[Ding!]

[Opening the brocade pouch for the host.]

Well, it reacted quite quickly.

At least it was somewhat useful.

[Inside the brocade pouch is a website address containing detailed records of various criminal cases from both home and abroad.]

The corners of Lin Pei's mouth curled up as he memorized the URL.

He looked up.

"Officer, I saw all those news reports in a single post."

"Just now, I remembered the URL of that post."

"I'll recite it for you; you can check it right now."

Xu Feng blinked a couple of times.

Wait, so those news reports actually existed?

Half-doubting, he signaled Zhang Tian with his eyes to enter the URL into his phone.

A second later, Zhang Tian gasped and held the phone up to Xu Feng's eyes.

Looking at the somewhat gory news images, Xu Feng was also stunned for a few seconds.

Was he sure this wasn't their police internal network?

Looking closely, these cases were even more extensive than those on their internal network, including many international cases.

Zhang Tian's small eyes were sparkling.

"How come we didn't know about something this good?"

Xu Feng was constantly scrolling through the pages.

The more he scrolled, the more shocked he became.

Every case was described in extreme detail; he knew many of them, but the details here were even more specific than what he knew.

Good heavens.

Is this something people in Dragon Country are allowed to see?

It was truly a miracle that such a post had existed for years without being banned.

Now, they had gained a lot more material for study and training.

Lin Pei watched helplessly as the two Police Officers across from him excitedly discussed the cases.

"..."

In the gap when the two stopped to drink water, Lin Pei spoke up.

"Um... Officer, can you believe me now?"

Only then did Xu Feng and Zhang Tian remember that someone was still sitting across from them.

If they were still suspicious of Lin Pei a moment ago, their doubts were completely dispelled after seeing this website.

No wonder.

They now had every reason to believe that Lin Pei had learned so many details about the murders just by reading this post.

Because the records in there were simply too extensive.

It wasn't surprising at all that Lin Pei would act that way after reading it.

The Young Man had actually been feasting on such good stuff behind their backs.

Xu Feng coughed twice.

"Xiao Lin, we've looked at the post. I think your words are credible."

Lin Pei was overjoyed.

The solution from the brocade pouch had actually worked.

He didn't expect the crappy system to actually save his life at a critical moment.

Xu Feng had Zhang Tian unlock his handcuffs and leg irons.

"If there's nothing else, you can go."

Lin Pei rubbed his wrists.

What business could he possibly have at the police station?

Before walking out the door, he remembered something.

He actually did have something to ask.

"Officer, could you issue a certificate of no criminal record for me?"

"..."

Ten minutes later, Xu Feng saw Lin Pei to the entrance of the police station.

Lin Pei smiled. "Captain Xu, I have one more thing..."

"What is it?"

"Could you give me a ride back to the Film Crew? I don't have money for a taxi..."

"..."

In less than half an hour, Xu Feng dropped Lin Pei off outside the Film Crew.

Lin Pei politely watched Xu Feng's car drive away, then looked down at his watch.

Not bad, it wasn't past mealtime yet, and he happened to be hungry... At this moment, in the whip sounds Film Crew, the aroma of grilled skewers wafted through the air.

The Film Crew members were dancing with joy.

"Oh my god, what day is it today? The Film Crew is treating us to barbecue?"

"Brother Xiao Chun is treating us. He said we can eat as much as we want."

"That's rare. Brother Xiao Chun is usually so stingy. Why is he suddenly so generous today? Did something good happen?"

"Did you forget? That murderer was arrested. Brother Xiao Chun doesn't have to act with him anymore, so of course he's happy!"

"True. That guy is finally locked up; he was terrifying. Judging by the look of it, his crime wasn't small. He probably won't be coming back."

Just as the words left his mouth, a voice rang out by his ear.

"Oh, there's barbecue today? It smells so good."

!!!!

That voice... The staff member who was speaking turned around and threw the mutton skewer in his hand away.

Holy crap, Lin Pei?

Isn't this guy a murderer? How can he be back?

Oh my god, that smile is so damn terrifying.

"Ah!"

Following a scream, everyone looked over.

"Swish swish swish."

For a moment, the air was filled with skewers thrown by their panicked owners.

A group of people turned pale as ash, their bodies trembling.

"Am I seeing things? Isn't this the murderer who was taken away by the SWAT Officer?"

"Looks like I'm not seeing things either. But wait, why is he back?"

"Holy crap, holy crap! He didn't escape, did he?"

!!!!

Now even the Barbecue Master was stunned on the spot.

His hand jerked, and a clump of chili powder fell onto the skewers.

Lin Pei's stomach growled, his attention entirely focused on the fragrant skewers.

The master knows him too well; that chili was sprinkled perfectly.

It'll probably taste amazing.

*Clatter.*

The Barbecue Master's hand jerked again, and the grill tipped over.

Lin Pei, "..."

At this moment, at the entrance of the shed, the Director and Chen Xiaochun walked in together.

Chen Xiaochun looked at the skewers on the ground with a pained expression.

"I spent money to treat you to skewers, and you're just throwing them on the ground?"

Seeing the Makeup Artist in front of him turning pale and her hands shaking, he realized something was wrong.

"What happened? You can't even hold a skewer?"

"Hey, let me tell you, you'll always encounter difficulties in life. Don't be afraid, face them positively..."

He looked up and saw that figure in front of the barbecue grill not far away.

"Ah! You scared the life out of me..."

"Holy cow, how did he come back?"

The Director's face also turned pale.

Lin Pei happened to turn around and gave him a polite smile.

The Director's face turned even paler.

"Lin... Lin Pei, how did you get back?"

"You shouldn't have escaped! You'll get a much heavier sentence later."

Lin Pei looked at everyone's reaction and remembered.

It was all because the skewers smelled too good; he forgot to explain to everyone first.

"Director, you've misunderstood. I didn't break the law."

"So the officers just asked me a few questions and then sent me back."

Everyone looked at each other, clearly not believing him.

A major suspect taken away by a SWAT Officer being released so quickly—who could believe that?

"Holy crap, we identified him back then. He must be back for revenge."

"Sob... do we have to die today?"

"With this posture, can we even escape?"

"This is so freaking scary. I'm calling the police right now."

Naturally, the Director didn't believe it either.

He reached out to grab his phone to call the police, only to see Lin Pei shove his hand into his pocket first.

"Ah!! Is he going to pull out a weapon?"

"Holy crap, are we going to die?"

"Run!"

"Call the police! Call the police!"

"..."
