Chapter 3088: Even the Boss Has to Salute

Upon hearing Lin Yi's analysis, the police officer's expression changed slightly.

The person in front of him gave him an inexplicable feeling.

From the calmness when he first got into the police car to the current calm analysis, it seemed that he didn't feel any pressure or tension in front of him.

"Comrade police officer, don't listen to his nonsense. It must have been him who stole it," the middle-aged man accused.

"Look at his attitude; it's obvious he's a habitual offender!"

"Huh..."

Facing the middle-aged man's accusations, Lin Yi laughed, as if he were watching a joke, not at all anxious.

The police officer glanced at the two of them.

If he were a habitual offender, even if his emotional fluctuations wouldn't be as large after coming to the police station, there would still be some.

But the man in front of him seemed as relaxed as if he were at home.

That relaxed and comfortable feeling was almost the same as his own.

"Can you describe the situation when you delivered the package again?" the police officer asked.

"I don't think it's necessary," Lin Yi said.

"I knocked on the door, and there should be my fingerprints. Even if I really wanted to steal something, I could have just stolen a package from the delivery center. There's no need to steal a watch."

"Nonsense!" the middle-aged man said.

"My watch is worth over 8,000, and the packages you deliver could never be as valuable as my watch!"

The middle-aged man's emotions were a bit hysterical, and he shouted loudly.

"But my watch has been bought for more than three years. I'm not unreasonable. If you don't want to go to jail, just give me 6,000 yuan, and we'll consider this matter settled."

"Stop making a fuss."

Lin Yi said indifferently, then showed his phone and watch.

"The phone isn't worth much, but it's over 10,000 yuan, more expensive than his watch."

As he spoke, Lin Yi took off his watch and said:

"This watch isn't very expensive, an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, around 600,000 yuan, more expensive than his. As for its authenticity, you can judge it yourself. I have no need to steal his things."

Seeing Lin Yi's phone and watch, both of them were stunned for a moment.

They naturally didn't have the ability to judge the authenticity of the watch, but the fact that he could say such things was enough to indicate something.

"But judging the authenticity might waste some time, and I still have packages to deliver. I don't have time to waste here."

Lin Yi then found his bank card balance and showed it to the police officer.

"This is my balance. Take a look. I really don't care about an 8,000 yuan watch."

The middle-aged man, curious, leaned in to look.

Seeing the long string of numbers on the bank card, both of them felt their scalps tingle.

They couldn't immediately tell how much money it was, but it was enough to prove that the man in front of them couldn't be a thief.

Although there was no direct evidence, the middle-aged man's attitude was no longer as strong as before. His face turned pale, and he was sweating profusely.

Creak—

At this moment, the office door was pushed open, and two police officers walked in.

Seeing the two people who entered, Lin Yi recognized them; they were the ones who handled Ma Jianlong's case that day.

At the same time, the two officers also saw Lin Yi and recognized him immediately.

"Hey, you're here again," the tall police officer said with a smile.

Seeing Lin Yi again, the two were very polite, like old friends.

Lin Yi pointed to the middle-aged man beside him, "He said I stole his watch, so they brought me here."

"You stole his things? Are you kidding me?"

"Hmm, he looks familiar," the other police officer said.

"Didn't something like this happen before? Someone accused someone else of stealing and got 4,000 yuan as compensation."

Lin Yi shrugged and smiled, looking at the police officer and said:

"Now the matter is clear. He just wants to extort money this way."

"I didn't, my things were really stolen!" the middle-aged man said in a panic.

"What does your watch look like? Provide the purchase record," the police officer said sternly.

"I bought it online, and the purchase record has been deleted."

"That's fine," Lin Yi said.

"I know someone in this field. Which website did you buy it from? I can check the backend data and find out."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man became even more panicked.

"I remembered wrong. I didn't buy it online; I bought it abroad. It can't be found online."

"That's even simpler. First, check his travel records, then check his bank card transaction records. It will be easy to find," Lin Yi said calmly.

"This... This isn't mine; someone else gave it to me. I don't know anything..."

"Enough!"

The police officer slammed the table, "You're still lying. Come with me to the interrogation room!"

Without hesitation, the police officer took out handcuffs, put them on the man, and took him to the interrogation room, then apologized to Lin Yi.

"Sir, thank you for your cooperation. You've been delayed for quite a while."

"It's fine. You're doing your job, and I understand," Lin Yi looked at his watch, "I have other things to do, so I'll leave now."

"Okay, take care."

Watching Lin Yi leave, the young police officer looked at his two colleagues and said:

"Brother Wang, do you know this person?"

"Military personnel, very high rank. Even our boss has to salute him. And he knows Chief Chen. Isn't he amazing?"

"Ah?"

The young police officer was stunned, extremely nervous.

"So amazing, why did he become a delivery man?"

"He might be on a special mission. From his attitude, it seems he didn't waste any time. Otherwise, we would be in trouble."

"Ah?!"

The young police officer panicked, feeling a chill down his spine.

"No wonder he was so calm when he came here. Ordinary people don't have that kind of composure."

"I guess they've seen mountains of knives and seas of fire. For us in this small place, it's just a drizzle. Let's go and interrogate that guy. He's probably a habitual offender."

"Today's incident can only be blamed on his bad luck. He kicked a hard stone. Otherwise, he might have deceived us easily."

"You just started working, and you lack experience. Take it slowly, and you'll get better."

"Thank you, Brother Wang."

After leaving the police station, Lin Yi took a taxi back to the delivery station.

At this time, Sun Qiang had already left, and he was the only one in the store.

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

At this moment, Lin Yi's phone rang. It was a message from Xu Wen.

"Call back when you're free."

No need to guess; Sun Qiang had already told her about this.

Holding the phone, Lin Yi called Xu Wen back and explained the situation.

Xu Wen wasn't very worried. She asked a few simple questions and then hung up.

After dealing with the matter at hand, Lin Yi rode his tricycle to his delivery area.
