A rollback after death? Then let them offer their loyalty!

Chapter 5 Case

The next morning, Lin Yu arrived at the police station on time.

He was wearing a crisp police uniform, with a Third Class Inspector badge on his chest, and looked the same as always...

An insignificant nobody.

But the atmosphere at the police station today is a bit off.

Everyone was whispering, their faces showing tension.

"Have you heard? Scarface Liu is dead! And Ah Xiang from Chief Chen's bodyguard is dead too."

"What happened?"

"Who knows? Anyway, Director Chen's face was as black as the bottom of a pot this morning..."

Lin Yu walked down the corridor with a blank expression and arrived at his workstation.

As soon as I sat down, Li Feng from my group came over.

"Lin Yu, do you know what happened last night?"

"What is it?" Lin Yu feigned ignorance.

"Scarface Liu!" Li Feng whispered.

"That guy was an A-level wanted criminal, and he died at the dock last night, taking down Director Chen's men with him. Tsk tsk, this is getting interesting."

"How did he die?" Lin Yu asked.

"They say it's a case of double-crossing, but things are definitely not that simple. Sigh, I guess this is going to happen to us again. What a hassle!"

Hearing this, Lin Yu suppressed a laugh and said seriously, "Comrade Li Feng, your mindset is wrong. As detectives, we must be mortal enemies of evil!"

"No matter what, I, Lin Yu, will take full responsibility for this!"

......

At 10:00 AM, an emergency meeting was held across the entire police station.

Chen Tianxiong sat in the main seat, his face extremely gloomy.

"Everyone knows what happened last night," he began, his voice icy. "One of my men died at the hands of a wanted criminal. This is a provocation, a provocation against the entire police station!"

The audience was silent.

"Starting today, all leave is cancelled and patrols are intensified."

I'm going to find all the rats in Jiangcheng within a week! Understand?

"Understood!" everyone answered in unison.

Lin Yu sat in the last row, head down, pretending to take notes.

He could feel Chen Tianxiong's gaze sweeping across the crowd.

That gaze was like a knife, filled with scrutiny and suspicion.

It seems that Chen Tianxiong has not gotten rid of the grudge.

But Lin Yu remained calm. Anyway, he didn't kill the person... well, that makes sense.

After the meeting, Lin Yu was stopped by Lao Chen.

Lin Yu remembered that this was his partner, or rather, his senior, since he joined the company.

Level 1 Agent, Sequence 8 Extraordinary.

Although Lin Yu wasn't very familiar with him, he still had to show him respect on the surface, given their superior-subordinate relationship.

"Old Deng..."

Uh, Captain, what are your orders?

"Lin Yu, come with me on a field mission later."

"What case?"

"The orphanage in the south of the city." Old Chen's expression was serious. "Last night we received an anonymous tip that there was something wrong there. The deputy director personally ordered us to investigate."

Lin Yu's heart skipped a beat. He remembered that the deputy chief of the police station was an extremely cold and beautiful woman named Shen Bing, who was sent from a different protected area than Chen Tianxiong.

He is at the same level as Chen Tianxiong, and both are extraordinary individuals of Sequence Six.

To be precise, Lin Yu's group was also under her management.

However, in his memory, Lin Yu had only seen her once, on the day he joined the police station.

As for how he got the job, and what happened before that, Lin Yu had forgotten everything.

"Okay." Lin Yu stood up.

The two drove to the orphanage in the south of the city.

It was a dilapidated three-story building, and several children were playing in the yard. They seemed normal.

But Lin Yu could smell the blood in the air.

It's faint, but it's definitely there.

"Let's split up and investigate," Old Chen said.

"I'll go to the office, you go to the backyard."

"clear."

Lin Yu walked to the backyard.

It's a desolate place, overgrown with weeds, with some abandoned furniture piled up in the corner.

He walked to a big tree, squatted down, and parted the grass.

There was blood on the ground; it had dried and was dark red.

There were also drag marks that extended all the way to a small storage room in the backyard.

Lin Yu stood up and walked towards the warehouse.

The door was locked, but the lock was old and opened with a gentle pull.

He pushed the door open and went inside. It was dark and filled with clutter.

But Lin Yu's eyes quickly adapted to the darkness.

He saw a cellar entrance in the corner of the warehouse.

The cover was half open, letting in a faint light.

Lin Yu walked over and lifted the cover.

Below was a small space with iron chains hanging on the walls and dried bloodstains on the floor.

There were also a few empty syringes.

Lin Yu took out his phone and snapped a few photos. Then he heard footsteps outside.

"Lin Yu? Where are you?" It was Old Chen's voice.

Lin Yu quickly left the warehouse, closed the door, and returned to the yard.

"I'm here."

Old Chen walked over, his face not looking too good.

"There's a ledger in the office that records... the number of people consumed each month."

"Damn it, there's definitely something wrong with this place! Someone's using these orphans for experiments!! Damn it!" Old Chen was furious.

Although arson, murder, and looting often occur in unplanned areas, anyone who lays a hand on a child will be condemned at any time.

Lin Yu knew that this was Chen Tianxiong's doing, but this matter was not that simple, so Lin Yu did not foolishly reveal his thoughts.

Instead, he asked:

"What should we do? Should we report it?"

"Well, we can't handle this kind of thing; we have to leave it to the deputy director to decide."

The two left the orphanage and returned to their car.

Old Chen remained silent the whole way, his face grim.

Lin Yu looked at the street scene outside the window, his mind preoccupied with other things.

Chen Tianxiong should already know that the orphanage has been investigated.

What would they do? A vicious revenge? An assassination?

Anyway, it shouldn't have anything to do with him; this is a contest between Shen Bing and Chen Tianxiong.

That anonymous report was most likely also Shen Bing's doing.

However, this suited Lin Yu's intentions perfectly, as it could distract Chen Tianxiong.

The car stopped in front of the police station, and Old Chen's voice rang out:

"Lin Yu, come to the archives in ten minutes. There's a case we need to discuss."

Lin Yu nodded slightly. Since he had nothing else to do, he sat at his workstation for ten minutes.

Next, we arrived at the entrance of the archives room.

Lin Yu pushed open the heavy iron door of the archives room. Old Chen stood in front of a row of dark green filing cabinets, holding a yellowed file in his hand. Hearing the noise, he didn't turn his head.

Lin Yu closed the door behind him.

There was only one chandelier in the archives room, casting a dim, yellowish light.

Old Chen turned around and threw the case file onto the wooden table in the middle, which was covered with a thin layer of dust.

"have a look."

Lin Yu walked over and opened the file.

The first page contains photos from the scene.

South of the city, the abandoned No. 3 warehouse of a textile factory.

The cement floor was stained with blood that had turned black, which was sprayed onto the walls and the old textile machine.

Three corpses, two men and one woman.

The second page is the autopsy report.

He looked up: "When was this case?"

"A month ago." Old Chen took out his cigarette case.

Lin Yu gave him a strange look: "A case from a month ago, and you're showing it to me now?"

Old Chen's lips twitched, and he lit a cigarette:

"Normally, this kind of case would just be dropped, but this one is very special."
