Chapter 3112: I Already Have Evidence

"Got it, sister-in-law, I won't smoke before I'm discharged."

Lin Yi placed his hand on Liang Jinming's other wrist; the pulse was steady, and his recovery was progressing well.

The rest was post-operative rehabilitation.

"Lao Lin, have those people been dealt with?" Qin Han asked.

"They're still being interrogated. I'll handle this, you don't need to worry."

Lin Yi looked at Liang Jinming, feeling guilty, "Brother, I'm sorry about this."

"Ah, we don't need to talk like this. We've been brothers for so many years; I can't always rely on you. I have to stand up at critical moments."

"Damn, saying it like that makes us seem weak," Qin Han said.

"Brother Qin, the knife is here. Why don't you cut yourself to prove you're a man of honor?" Gao Zongyuan said, holding a fruit knife.

"I'll kick your ass, do you think I'm some kind of fool?"

After some banter, Lin Yi ordered some takeout, and the group settled down for dinner in the hospital room.

But when it was time to leave, Qin Han stayed behind to keep Liang Jinming company. Gao Zongyuan would take over the next day.

After leaving the hospital room, Lin Yi and Li Chuhan walked side by side through the hospital. Despite the situation, Li Chuhan was still feeling down.

She usually didn't talk much, and now she talked even less.

Lin Yi understood Li Chuhan and knew she was blaming herself for what happened to Liang Jinming.

For a long time, Li Chuhan had kept herself hidden, even denying her relationship with him in front of others, fearing unnecessary trouble.

But such things still happened, and this time it was a huge problem.

This left her feeling stuck and unable to move on.

Lin Yi knew that words wouldn't help at this moment, so he just put his arm around her and walked quietly with her.

Time heals all wounds, and no one is an exception.

After walking quietly for a while, the weather turned a bit cool. Lin Yi took Li Chuhan back, then drove home.

When he got home, Ji Qingyan and the children were already asleep. Lin Yi didn't make much noise and quietly went to bed, waiting for dawn.

The next morning, during breakfast, Ji Qingyan asked about Liang Jinming's condition. Upon learning that they had played cards and smoked in the hospital room, she didn't know what to say.

After breakfast, Lin Yi drove to work.

Everything was normal at work, with no changes.

While unloading in the morning, Lin Yi received a call from the criminal investigation department.

They said the investigation results were in, and it matched his judgment: the damage was caused by human interference.

Lin Yi asked their people to bring the evidence over and planned to go to the address to discuss the matter and retrieve the item.

After scanning the code, Lin Yi loaded the goods he needed to deliver onto the truck and met the criminal investigation team at the entrance of the neighborhood, ready to head over.

...

Xinsheng Community, Unit 6, Room 301.

Liu Manzhi and his wife were tidying up the house, having already sent their child to kindergarten.

"Have they refunded the money?" Liu Manzhi's wife asked.

"Not yet," Liu Manzhi replied, "I guess the refund will come after the item is returned."

"Now it seems they can refund the money as soon as the item is shipped," his wife said, "The child asked me for it today. If the money comes back sooner, I can buy him a new one earlier."

Liu Manzhi nodded, "I'll check my phone."

He got up and walked to the sofa, picking up his phone.

"What the hell, they haven't even shipped it!"

"They must be really slow," his wife said.

"It's definitely that delivery guy's fault!" Liu Manzhi grumbled.

"Does he not want to refund us?" his wife asked, "Maybe he saw that you damaged it and doesn't want to refund."

"Ha ha..." Liu Manzhi laughed coldly, "Now that I have the item, it's up to me."

"You're right, he has no evidence."

"I took advantage of that," Liu Manzhi said, "Even if he saw it, what can he do without evidence?"

"He's really something, it's not his money to refund, why is he being so stubborn? He should just give us the refund."

"Who knows what he's thinking, maybe he's not very smart. But it doesn't matter, the item is gone, and they will refund us eventually."

Liu Manzhi said smugly, "Good thing I thought of this plan quickly, otherwise we would have lost out."

"You're really clever, you're the best at these things."

"Of course."

Ding dong—

Just as Liu Manzhi was feeling smug, there was a knock on the door.

"I'll get it."

"Wait a moment."

Liu Manzhi's wife stopped him, "Who would knock so early? Could it be that delivery guy?"

"So what if it is? He has no evidence, don't worry, it's fine."

Liu Manzhi responded and went to the door.

When he opened it, he saw Lin Yi standing there, with the package at his feet. His expression turned sour.

"What are you doing here?"

"I came to talk about the package. I've had it checked, and it was damaged by human interference. If you admit it, I'll take the item back and pretend nothing happened."

"Ha ha... Are you joking?" Liu Manzhi said, "It was clearly damaged during transportation, and now you're blaming me?"

Liu Manzhi found this delivery guy quite amusing.

He just said he had it checked, with no evidence, and accused him of damaging it. He wondered what this guy was thinking.

A person of this intelligence should only be delivering packages.

"It's too late for excuses now."

"Fine, you say I damaged it, do you have any evidence?"

Liu Manzhi adopted a defiant attitude.

"If you have evidence, show it. If not, don't talk nonsense."

"From your attitude, it seems you're not going to admit it."

"It was you who damaged it, how can I admit to something I didn't do?" Liu Manzhi said, "Have some conscience, don't be ungrateful."

Lin Yi shrugged, "Since you won't admit it, I'll have someone else talk to you."

With that, Lin Yi called out, and the police officers outside came in.

Seeing the police, Liu Manzhi's expression turned nervous.

"Who are you?"

"I'm from the city's criminal investigation department."

One of them took out a phone and opened the photo album, showing several photos of the damaged package.

"After our examination, the damage to the packaging was caused by human interference. You are now suspected of hooliganism and fraud, and we need to take you in for questioning."
