Chapter 1318: 1317 Intuition
“Hello, is this Officer Lu?”
A timid female voice ca through the phone. Wen Jin squinted his eyes, puzzled, and looked at Lu Zhiyan who was leaning back in his chair. Instead of answering, he asked, “Who are you?”
“I have so information to provide.”
The voice seed intentionally lowered, as if afraid of being overheard.
Wen Jin raised an eyebrow, “Information to provide?”
As expected, just like Lu Zhiyan said, one after another, they all want to provide information, all for that 10 million reward.
Hearing his words, Lu Zhiyan’s lips curled into a mocking smile, his raised eyebrow looking at Wen Jin clearly said: See, I wasn’t lying, was I?
“Officer Lu, an hour from now, I’ll be waiting for you at A Cup of Tea on Phoenix Road.”
After the caller finished speaking, they hung up without waiting for Wen Jin to reply.
Wen Jin blinked in confusion.
“What, what did they say?” Lu Zhiyan, staring at Wen Jin’s befuddled expression, asked casually.
Wen Jin’s brows furrowed slightly as he said lightly, “She said that in an hour, she’ll be waiting for you at A Cup of Tea on Phoenix Road to provide information.”
“Haha, Ah Jin, your expression is too cute. You don’t actually believe her, do you? I’m telling you, just this morning I arranged to et with dozens of people, all like this.”
Lu Zhiyan laughed openly, making no attempt to hide his amusent.
Wen Jin glared at him, “I think she didn’t sound like she was lying. Her voice seed to be sneaking a call.”
For so reason, Wen Jin just had that feeling.
The caller didn’t seem to be lying or out for the money. Perhaps it was because her voice was soft, her tone tinged with a faint shyness, unwittingly softening his heart, and he even thought of Ranran.
This strange thought made Wen Jin frown.
Lu Zhiyan scornfully curled his lip, “Having you answer the phone was a mistake. If I actually t everyone who called, I’d literally get nothing done. Ah Jin, since it was a woman’s voice just now, why don’t you go et her?”
“She was looking for you.”
Wen Jin rolled his eyes and tossed the phone to him.
Lu Zhiyan quickly raised his hands in protest, “Don’t give the phone, I don’t want it.”
Just as Wen Jin was about to throw it, he heard Lu Zhiyan’s protest and stopped, “Zhixing, I really think that girl wasn’t lying. Why not et her, just in case she’s telling the truth?”
“You’re really too kind.” Lu Zhiyan yawned, “I’m exhausted. I only got to sleep in the early hours of this morning and got up at five. If you think she wasn’t lying, then you go.”
Before Wen Jin could retort, Lu Zhiyan added, “After all, this is to prove your innocence. You et with her, and if it’s real, call .”
“Zhixing.” The ringing of the phone interrupted Wen Jin again as he pursed his lips and answered the call.
“Hello, is this Officer Lu? I have information to provide. Is that 10 million reward real?”
Before Wen Jin could even open his mouth, the caller eagerly asked about the reward.
“If the information you provide is real, the reward is real.” Wen Jin frowned, clearly unimpressed with the person on the other end of the call.
“Of course, it’s real, but I can’t tell you over the phone. Look, just tell where you are right now, Officer Lu, and I’ll co to you.”
“I’m busy right now.” Wen Jin’s tone grew heavier.
“Then I won’t say it, wait until you’re free to co and find , or give a call.”
Wen Jin looked at the disconnected call and was speechless.
Lu Zhiyan, witnessing his expression, smiled, his handso face lighting up. He stood up, “Ah Ah Jin, I have to make a trip to the prison, I’ve made an appointnt with Ah Mu, I’m off. Take the calls and judge for yourself, if you think it’s real, just make further contact.”
“Hey, wait a minute.”
Wen Jin called out to the departing Lu Zhiyan, but the latter didn’t turn back, just waved his hand at him and strode away.
The phone in his hand vibrated once again. Wen Jin looked at the string of numbers displayed as the caller ID, finally understanding why Lu Zhiyan had burst in earlier, fuming with anger.
Having to pick up calls like this for half a day, he reckoned he would be just like Lu Zhiyan.
In half an hour, Wen Jin had answered fifteen calls, feeling the urge to turn off his phone and throw it into a drawer. He wasn’t sure if he was cursed or sothing, but he increasingly felt that the first call, compared to the fourteen that followed, seed more genuine.
Rather than the calls that were for scamming money, so even asked him to transfer a portion of the money first to prove credibility.
In this world, there are just so many people who want to gain without working for it. Wen Jin pondered for a mont, then dialed Mo Xiuchen’s number.
“Hello!”
After several rings, Mo Xiuchen’s voice ca through.
Wen Jin shut down his computer, grabbed his car keys, and walked away from his desk, “Are you free at noon? Co with to et soone.”
“et soone? Who?”
Mo Xiuchen asked casually.
“The person who’s providing clues. At eleven, Zhixing threw that phone at , and I’ve taken a dozen calls from people claiming to have leads. I think one of them might be real, and I want to et that person.”
“Haha, from eleven until now, you’ve already taken a dozen calls. It seems where there’s a hefty reward, there will be brave volunteers. What did the other party say?”
Mo Xiuchen laughed triumphantly on the other end of the line.
“She wants to discuss it in person when we et.”
“Male or female?”
“The caller had a girl’s voice.”
Wen Jin responded honestly as he walked out of his office, casually closing the door behind him.
“I need to go ho for lunch to accompany Ranran and have a chat with her. Have Ah Kai go with you, or let Lu Zhiyan accompany you. He’s in charge of this case; it should be him to follow up.”
Wen Jin felt like swearing.
After all this ti, Mo Xiuchen, that guy, actually said he’s not available.
If he wasn’t available, why didn’t he say so earlier?
Wen Jin complained in his heart, but since Mo Xiuchen used Ranran as an excuse, he had no choice but to accept it.
Lu Zhiyan had just refused earlier; naturally, he couldn’t ask him. Ah Kai had injured his hand, and according to Bai Yiyi, he was at ho taking care of Tongtong.
Wen Jin hesitated about whether to invite Bai Yiyi to co along, just then Bai Yiyi walked out of her office.
“President Wen.”
She greeted politely.
Wen Jin gave a slight smile, “Yiyi, are you free at noon?”
“President Wen, do you need to work overti?” Bai Yiyi asked in return.
Wen Jin shook his head and then nodded: “Consider it overti. You co with to et soone in a bit; she called and said she has a clue that could break the case.”
“Ah, President Wen, is the number posted online yours?”
Bai Yiyi asked, surprised.
This morning, when Gu Kai visited her ho at dawn, he inford her about the issue with those videos, and she saw that number as well.
She originally thought it was a police station number being used, but it turned out to be Wen Jin’s?
Wen Jin took out his phone from his pocket and waved it at her: “This is Zhixing’s phone; he got fed up with taking calls all morning, so he tossed it to .”
“Officer Lu ca just now to deliver the phone to you?”
