Chapter 3135: Finding the Suspect

"Get up."

Lin Yi said, "Help clean up a bit. It's still early, we might be able to open on time."

"Impossible," Xu Wen said, "The trash can be cleaned up, but the glass can't be fixed so quickly. The earliest would be tomorrow."

"I've already ordered custom glass, it will be delivered soon. Just install it and we'll be fine," Lin Yi said, "Is everything else in the store okay?"

Xu Wen shook her head, "Only the glass was smashed and the entrance was filled with trash. It's a bit better than last time."

"Then it won't delay the opening."

About an hour later, the trash at the entrance was all cleaned up, making it look much tidier.

Although the front door glass was broken, as long as the door was open, the impact wasn't significant; it just wasn't as aesthetically pleasing.

As an atheist, these things didn't matter to Lin Yi.

Otherwise, personal effort wouldn't be important, and one could just pray to the gods every day.

Around 8:30 in the morning, the delivery personnel from the branch office started to arrive.

Seeing the store's door was damaged, they were all surprised.

But Xu Wen didn't tell the truth, only saying that the installation was poor and the glass broke.

The others didn't think much of it and started working one after another.

For the branch office, the opening ceremony wasn't a grand affair.

Just removing the red cloth from the signboard and setting off some firecrackers would count as opening.

Xu Wen planned to arrange a dinner in the evening, and the opening ceremony would be over.

While scanning and working, Lin Yi received a call from the police.

"Did you find the person?"

"There's a problem, the newly installed cameras are all broken."

Lin Yi was a bit helpless, "What kind of quality is this? They broke after just a few days."

"It's not a quality issue; someone deliberately sabotaged them. This was a planned act, and the suspect is very professional," the police officer said helplessly, with a serious tone, "But don't worry, we will definitely find the person. We can't let such a heinous act happen again!"

"You go handle other things, I'll take care of this myself."

"Ah? Don't you need our help?"

"No, I can handle it myself."

After finishing the call, Lin Yi hung up and called Xiao Bing.

"Brother Lin."

Answering the call, Xiao Bing mumbled, clearly still half-asleep.

"There's been an incident at the store. Check who did it when you wake up."

When Lin Yi left, he had instructed Xiao Bing to install cameras nearby to prevent such incidents.

Although Wang Guodong was the prime suspect, as the police said, competitors can be enemies.

Xu Wen's store being so successful would naturally attract jealousy, so they were also possible suspects.

But who exactly, needed further investigation.

"I'm almost awake," Xiao Bing yawned, "Your mattress is really comfortable, I want to take it with me when I leave."

"Take whatever you like," Lin Yi said, "Just handle this matter yourself and find the person as soon as possible."

"OK."

After hanging up with Xiao Bing, Lin Yi started working.

At 10:00 AM, it was the opening time Xu Wen had chosen.

Lin Yi, being tall, jumped up and pulled down the red cloth from the signboard, while Sun Qiang set off the firecrackers.

The sanitation worker, looking at the debris on the ground, had a deep and resentful expression.

Lin Yi cheerfully handed over a 500-yuan red envelope, and the worker was satisfied as he cleaned up the firecracker debris.

"You're thoughtful, I forgot about this," Xu Wen said, holding her forehead, "I'll transfer the money to you."

"It's a small matter."

Lin Yi felt in his pocket, took out a thick red envelope, and handed it to Xu Wen.

"Opening day blessings."

Looking at the heavy red envelope in her hand, Xu Wen stared at Lin Yi.

"Twenty thousand?"

"Wrong, 18,888."

"You've worked here for so long, and you probably haven't earned this much."

Xu Wen's expression was calm, but from some subtle clues, she could guess that Lin Yi was wealthier than she imagined.

"Money is nothing, it's about making friends," Lin Yi said cheerfully, "The boss is so beautiful, it's a pleasure to look at."

"Since it's a pleasure, don't deliver packages anymore. Stay here and help me scan codes."

"No problem."

In the past, Lin Yi wouldn't have done this because the system tasks needed to be triggered during work.

Now, it's different. This stage of the tasks is complete, and he just needs to wait for the cargo ship to arrive to get the reward.

So, it doesn't matter what he does. Staying at the store is more comfortable, and he can do whatever he wants.

Plus, having a charming boss around is a treat for the eyes.

After scanning, Xu Wen distributed Lin Yi's packages.

The other delivery personnel gradually left, and the two stayed in the store, answering calls and serving walk-in customers.

However, most of the work was done by Xu Wen, while Lin Yi just assisted.

Ring, ring, ring—

Lin Yi's phone rang; it was Xiao Bing calling.

"Brother Lin, I found the surveillance video. There were three people, they came in a small truck, smashed the glass, and dumped a truckload of debris at the entrance."

While speaking, Lin Yi could hear Xiao Bing eating noodles.

"Can you see the suspects' faces?"

"They were well-covered, can't see what they look like," Xiao Bing said, "But their license plate was exposed, which is a lead. With the help of other street cameras, finding them shouldn't be difficult."

"Since it's not difficult, investigate this first, then focus on the Blood Bull Club matter."

"Understood."

Xiao Bing spoke indistinctly while eating.

Throughout the day, Lin Yi didn't do much, mostly playing games to pass the time.

Xu Wen didn't mind, as long as he was happy.

Additionally, Lin Yi checked on the cargo ship, which had passed the dangerous area and was heading towards its destination.

With this, there was nothing to worry about.

Plus, with the Bai Sha Security Company guarding it, there shouldn't be any problems.

Just wait for the right time, but it's impossible to arrive before the island.

Around 6:30 PM, the collection truck arrived, marking the end of the day's work.

Since it was the opening day, Xu Wen arranged a dinner, and they had a good time drinking.

Xu Wen was a bit tipsy and was eventually sent back by Lin Yi.

Ring, ring, ring—

On the way back, Lin Yi received a call from Xiao Bing.

"Brother Lin, I found the people," Xiao Bing said, "The suspects are drinking at a bar. Should I have them arrested and bring them to you?"

"No, just tell me the address, I'll go there."

"I want to go with you, I've been cooped up all day."

"Sure, wait for me at home, I'll come to get you."

"OK, kiss, kiss, Brother Lin loves you."
