After a refreshing sleep, Lin Yuan arrived at the police station, where the atmosphere had nearly returned to normal. Although an overnight meeting had taken place, everyone still had to come to work.
The Chief congratulated him, saying that he had resolved the case and was officially promoted from a temporary consultant. When Zheng Yun brought over the formal police officer badge, Lin Yuan was not particularly surprised; he had anticipated this outcome since he first stepped into the police station.
"Can you help me apply for something?" he asked.
"Are you looking for your own office? The consultant's room is still empty; if you want, I can help you move in this afternoon," she replied.
Lin Yuan thought for a moment. "No, I mean, can I deliver takeout while working as a consultant?"
Zheng Yun looked puzzled by his request. "The benefits for consultants at the station are quite good. Do you really need another job given your situation at home?"
"No, it's just that sitting here is a bit boring."
With everything that had happened over the past couple of days, Zheng Yun found his reasoning quite valid. "I'll apply for this with the Chief. If he has no objections, I'll let you know."
If it weren't for the commotion from last night, today the Chief would likely be dealing with Lin Yuan's situation. His presence seemed somewhat coincidental. Considering previous cases, it was easy to draw connections. If Lin Yuan had appeared months ago, they wouldn't have linked everything together.
"This kid wants to go out and deliver takeout?" The Chief furrowed his brow while sitting in his office, clearly struggling to make sense of it all. Yes, he thought it was a bit dull sitting at the police station.
As for the case involving Zhong Anguo, aside from the initial interrogation, it had been handed over to Team Zhang. However, the results were not very promising. Based on Lin Yuan's suggestion that if all these incidents were caused by one person, it would be best to start investigating from Zhong Anguo's end.
But how could Lin Yuan—who lacked formal training—extract the information they needed? The Chief pondered for a moment.
For now, he decided to set aside matters concerning the archives; regardless of whether Lin Yuan was involved or not, his only remaining option was within their police station. Zheng Yun looked on with confusion.
Xiao Lin's experience was insufficient; if this matter truly fell into his hands, those behind him would quickly take action against him. It was best to notify Lin Yuan to stay at the police station.
"Stay at the police station?"
Hai City was not a third or fourth-tier city. Even in those cities, it was unlikely that the other party would—
Guan Ju raised his hand to interrupt her words, his tone firm. "Don't think of things so optimistically. There are many places in Hai City that you are unaware of."
As a newly appointed officer, if it weren't for her friendly demeanor and some connections here, the people around her wouldn't be so considerate.
Zheng Yun knew what she needed to do and nodded before leaving.
When Lin Yuan received the news that he had to move again, he felt somewhat helpless. "I just moved not long ago, and where does the police station have a place for me to stay?"
"There are still a few beds available in the officer's dormitory. If you’re not comfortable with that, you can also stay in the consultant's office; there’s a restroom where you can freshen up."
Sometimes the police station required overtime work, and when it came to making up for it, one could only make do.
Lin Yuan leaned back in his chair and remained silent.
Seeing him like this, Zheng Yun couldn't help but advise, "I heard from colleagues before that those people have even stormed into police stations. You might not have encountered it before, but until we catch the murderer this time, the police station is your best option."
Lin Yuan naturally understood what he needed to do, but the cases in the crime statistics department couldn't wait for him to explain them one by one to others.
Even if there was a risk of exposure, doing so could minimize the damage.
"Alright, I'll have someone bring my things over."
Lin Yuan didn't plan on staying in the officer's dormitory; he could stay in the consultant's office instead.
The consultant's office was quite spacious. When he moved his things over in the evening, Lin Yuan was quite satisfied with it.
Unfortunately, he couldn't stay here forever; he still had to return to his rented place.
Zhang Ya, who brought over his belongings, initially thought he had come to the wrong place. It wasn't until he followed Lin Yuan inside that he realized what was happening and gaped in surprise.
"Isn't this you, Lin Yuan? You're actually living at the police station?"
Looking at the consultant sign above, Zhang Ya felt he had been incredibly foolish before.
He hadn’t even noticed such an obvious detail last time; if it weren't for Lin Yuan knowing someone here, how could the police have arrived so quickly?
"It's just temporary."
"Then is that highly publicized incident with Zhong Anguo online related to you as well?"
Zhang Ya quickly recalled the matter and then thought of the delivery person from earlier.
"Could it be that the delivery you made before was from you?"
When it came to the topic of deliveries, Lin Yuan realized he seemed to have forgotten about it. He was still unclear about the situation at Tianshui Bay.
"This is not a place to linger; Zhou Changfeng hasn’t mentioned anything to me."
"It’s me. In order to protect my personal safety, they asked me to stay put."
"That can’t be all, right?"
Zhang Ya clearly didn’t believe such nonsense.
"The sound of police cars hasn’t stopped since last night. This kind of situation hasn’t happened before. Do you know some secret and then secretly told the police?"
"We're brothers; it wouldn’t hurt to share a bit with me. I promise I’ll keep it under wraps!"
Lin Yuan didn’t want him involved in such matters and simply smiled.
"I just helped out a little. Recently, don’t go to where I’m currently staying, and don’t mention it to anyone."
Zhang Ya sighed while sitting on the chair. He felt like smoking but realized he wasn’t outside, so he put his hand down.
"You know that Zhong Anguo has killed many people, and you should also know that last time’s delivery was related to drugs, right? We ordinary folks really don’t need this kind of trouble; it’s better to deliver food. At least you earn money without risking your life."
Lin Yuan understood that he was advising him as someone who had been through similar experiences; he could only do his best.
"Brother Zhang, I’m aware."
Lin Yuan just smiled lightly.
Zhang Ya opened his mouth, unsure of what to say next. He had a wife and kids at home, while Lin Yuan was all alone. He worried that Lin Yuan might act impulsively, thinking that if something happened, he would be on his own.
"Anyway, brother is speaking for your own good. If you encounter any danger, let others take the lead first. You’re only twenty; I don’t want anything to happen to you."
"Thank you, Brother Zhang."
Lin Yuan nodded seriously.
Although they had only known each other for a short time, Zhang Ya’s concern for him was genuine.
While they were talking, Lin Yuan received a message on his phone from Zhou Changfeng.
"Lin Yuan, that group of drug dealers is still active and has learned about your situation. Be cautious."
