Seeing the ordinary-dressed middle-aged man pointing the finger at himself,
Lin Yi was even more bewildered.
He had no impression of this suddenly appearing person.
The policeman nodded and walked towards Lin Yi.
"I’m from the police station, and I need to verify so information with you."
Sun Qiang was a little flustered; as ordinary people, they naturally have a fear of the police.
Even if it’s unrelated to them, they would still be nervous.
But such a situation didn’t exist for Lin Yi at all.
"Okay, go ahead."
"The delivery for Building 4, Unit 1, Apartnt 1201 in Phase 2 of Xinsheng Garden should all be handled by you, right?"
"Building 4, Unit 1, Apartnt 1201..."
Lin Yi muttered, "Yes, I delivered it. It seed like no one was ho just now, but the door was left open, so I tossed the package inside. It shouldn’t go missing."
"The package wasn’t stolen, but other things in the house were. You need to co with for an investigation."
"Huh?"
Lin Yi muttered, "Are you saying I stole things from their house?"
"No need to argue, it’s certainly you who stole it," the middle-aged man accompanying them said:
"The watch I just bought was placed on the shoe cabinet by the door. I went downstairs to throw out the trash and forgot to close the door. When I returned, the watch was gone, and you must have taken it."
"That’s impossible!" Sun Qiang said:
"Lin Yi is doing well; there’s no way he would steal anything."
"What a joke, if he’s doing well, why would he be delivering packages?" the middle-aged man shouted loudly, his words carrying an air of superiority, dismissing Lin Yi and Sun Qiang.
Faced with such baseless accusations, Lin Yi found it sowhat amusing and pulled Sun Qiang back.
"Brother Qiang, I’ll handle this."
Lin Yi ignored the middle-aged man and instead looked at the policeman and said:
"How should I cooperate?"
"Co with first. Because of the significant amount involved, it must be handled seriously."
"Don’t worry, I will definitely cooperate."
"Lin Yi, don’t worry. I’ll help you deliver the packages for Phase 2, but make sure to cooperate well."
"No need, I’ll be back soon."
"Alright, alright, if you need any help, just let know."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Qiang."
With that, Lin Yi followed the policeman out.
"Wait for a few minutes, I need to get sothing from the car."
At this point, just showing his credentials would explain many issues, more effective than saying ten thousand words.
"Don’t bother with that, you can’t bring anything. Just co with ."
The policeman was very stern, not even giving Lin Yi a chance to take out his credentials.
He pushed him from behind, putting him into the police car.
Lin Yi found it a bit laughable; this was just because he worked at the courier station.
If he were in the Central Guards Brigade, who the hell would dare to push him.
Lin Yi smacked his lips, feeling quite unlucky.
If it were those two policen from last ti, this kind of thing probably wouldn’t have happened.
"Kid, you better not think there’s a chance of luck, just hand over the stuff and I won’t pursue it further."
Lin Yi shrugged and said:
"This isn’t about whether you pursue it; I didn’t even step into your house, just tossed the package through the door gap. Really don’t know where your watch went."
"The police are already here, and you still want to argue? I see if you’re not sentenced for a few years, you won’t admit it."
"If you really have that ability, it ans you’re not a simple person either."
"Heh heh, so you’d better not make waste my breath, or there won’t be good results for you."
"Whatever, I don’t care regardless, and I also want to see who has such great ability to send in."
The policeman sitting next to them slightly frowned; originally he was neutral in this matter, handling it according to regulations was enough.
But this courier was indeed a bit arrogant, daring to speak like that even with him sitting there, he really was bold.
Lin Yi sat quietly in the car, supporting his head with one hand, closing his eyes to rest.
He felt the situation was a bit strange.
Though he hadn’t looked carefully at that ti, due to a certain occupational hazard, he had roughly glanced at the situation when delivering the package.
The doormat by the door was neat and hadn’t shifted position.
Additionally, there were no signs of damage on the door lock.
When throwing the package inside, he glimpsed the shoe cabinet by the door.
Besides a notebook, there was nothing else on it.
So, there’s only one possibility left.
The watch on the shoe cabinet was stolen before he got there.
However, there were other doubts in this.
If soone truly stole it, there would definitely be marks left on the keyhole.
The doormat by the door wouldn’t be so neatly in place.
Moreover, after a thief steals, they would definitely lock the door.
They wouldn’t be so panicked to forget to close the door.
If they didn’t have that minimal psychological quality, they wouldn’t have co out to steal things.
And the most important point.
Normally, thieves would scope out before stealing.
They determine if a household is unoccupied long-term, or strike at night when people are asleep, then break in.
But this middle-aged man in front of him, went downstairs to throw trash, and the watch on the cabinet disappeared.
According to common reasoning, the whole process wouldn’t take more than five minutes.
No one would choose to commit a cri in such a short ti unless they were insane.
Lin Yi recalled the case files he encountered as a police officer.
There was a case very similar to the present situation.
The resident’s belongings were stolen, but after investigation, it was found that the owner hid the items themselves and accused the next-door neighbor of theft.
Combining all the present doubts and loopholes, the truth beca quite guessable.
It’s highly possible he staged a self-theft, falsely accusing of theft, thereby achieving the purpose of fraud.
Because it wasn’t far, they reached the police station in more than ten minutes by car.
The policeman led them to an office and said to Lin Yi:
"Describe the situation when you were delivering the package, and hopefully you won’t hide anything; being discovered doesn’t serve you well."
"Actually none of that matters; let’s focus only on the important parts."
Lin Yi said calmly:
"If I’m not mistaken, the surveillance should be broken, right?"
"If it was working, we wouldn’t be making such an effort."
"Without any evidence, no matter what I say, it’s useless, so we must use so ans."
"What ans?"
"A deeper investigation," Lin Yi said:
"First, have soone inspect the door lock for prying signs, then look at the footprints on the ground to see if they fit the logic of theft."
"Moreover, you, as an experienced policeman, should know what kind of targets thieves choose; how could they steal right when soone is taking out the trash?"
