Chapter 493: Chapter 306: Danger! Criminal Genius!_2
“Is it already dawn?”
Li Tong rubbed her eyes, noticing the soft sunlight already spreading across the curtains in the hotel room.
She felt sowhat dazed.
It was a sensation of shifting from illusion to reality, as if worlds apart.
Closing her eyes, Li Tong had only dozed off for two hours before getting out of bed and heading to the police station.
“Sister Li, what’s with those dark circles?”
...
At the Anling Police Station International Police local liaison office (temporary).
Qin Yun looked at Li Tong; her dark circles were too obvious.
Li Tong had looked in the mirror before leaving and knew her plight, she chuckled awkwardly, “I was reading novels all night.”
“All-nighter?”
Qin Yun blinked in surprise, eyes widening.
Li Tong rubbed her eyes, smiling, “You could say that.”
“You’re so dedicated, no wonder you’re called the ace!” Qin Yun said in admiration.
Li Tong waved her hand dismissively, “It’s not that I’m dedicated, it’s Lin Chuan’s novels that are too compelling to put down – I read several hundred thousand words in one go.”
Qin Yun picked up Li Tong’s thermos, poured the brewed tea into it, and handed it to Li Tong, “I also stayed up late reading his novels.”
Li Tong took a sip; the warm Maojian green tea flowed down her throat, warming her body and lifting her spirits considerably, “I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you a bit during this period.”
“Sister Li, do you have a new assignnt?”
Qin Yun asked curiously.
“Sort of,” Li Tong pondered for a mont and continued, “I plan to fully imrse myself in reading Lin Chuan’s novels in the next few days, such as ‘Black Ice,’ ‘This Assassin Is Too Professional,’ and ‘Hacker’. As for ‘All-In,’ I think I should also check out the original.”
“Ah?”
Qin Yun’s mouth fell open, “The new assignnt you’re talking about is reading Lin Chuan’s novels?”
“Isn’t that a task?” Li Tong blinked and smiled.
“Uh, yes, it is.”
Qin Yun said with a dry laugh.
He noticed that Li Tong had used the term ‘study.’
It was apparent that Li Tong must have found sothing in her all-night novel reading marathon the night before.
These next few days might be her major breakthrough!
“It’s tough on you,” Li Tong patted Qin Yun on the shoulder.
“It seems you’re having a bit of a harder ti, Sister Li.” Qin Yun glanced at Li Tong’s dark circles, knowing that ‘studying’ actually ant grasping the details in Lin Chuan’s novels for analysis, the scale of the work was imnse and hard to describe.
Just like a text in a language textbook, a few thousand words, the teacher could take two or three lessons to break it down.
While it might be faster to catch details reading novels, Lin Chuan’s novels were generally over a million words each; they took longer to get through and were more ntally exhaustive.
Li Tong just smiled.
She promptly took out her phone, eager to dive back into Lin Chuan’s novels.
Aside from lunch breaks, sleeping, and brief rests for eye exercises, she spent the rest of her ti eating, walking, even using the bathroom, all while reading novels on her phone.
For this, she frequently visited the criminal investigation team to discuss details with Shen Qianqian.
— Shen Qianqian was one of Lin Chuan’s most loyal readers.
“Comrade Lin Chuan, do you know, Officer Li has been in a crazed state lately,” Shen Qianqian sent a ssage, sharing with Lin Chuan.
“What happened to Sister Li?” Lin Chuan replied.
“She’s been reading your novels these past few days,” Shen Qianqian replied truthfully. “According to Officer Qin, aside from sleep, all her ti is spent reading novels. Moreover, she’s been frequently coming to to discuss details, as if trying to find evidence of your cris, like she’s addicted to the novels.”
“Did you provide ‘my criminal evidence’?” Lin Chuan added a ‘curious.jpg’ emoji.
“Of course!”
Shen Qianqian replied without hesitation.
“Great!” Lin Chuan seed quite pleased.
“Your reaction is strange!” Shen Qianqian was puzzled, as conventionally, Lin Chuan would have made excuses at this point.
“I recomnded my novels to her, it seems the effect is pretty good.” Lin Chuan laughed.
“You recomnded it?”
Shen Qianqian was slightly taken aback.
“Isn’t it perfectly reasonable for an author to recomnd his own novels?” Lin Chuan retorted.
“Reasonable, yes, but aren’t you worried she’ll find your criminal evidence?”
Shen Qianqian asked again.
Lin Chuan replied, “I’m actually worried she won’t find any. The more she finds, the more beneficial it is for !”
The more criminal evidence in the novels, the more thoroughly Lin Chuan understood such criminal systems.
Thus, Lin Chuan hoped Li Tong would be able to see it.
This way, it would save a lot of unnecessary explanations and demonstrations.
The novel had indeed beco his calling card.
“I think I understand what you an,” Shen Qianqian replied, “Let’s not talk now, Officer Li ca to discuss the details with , and I’ll provide more of your criminal evidence.”
“Thank you,” Lin Chuan responded.
“Just don’t bla when you end up inside,” Shen Qianqian joked teasingly.
Afterward, the two ended their chat.
Li Tong appeared before Shen Qianqian and specially invited her to the ‘International Police Anling Liaison Office (Temporary).’
The two outstanding criminal police officers imrsed themselves in Lin Chuan’s novels, discussing with each other.
Shen Qianqian revisited the old to understand the new.
Li Tong’s perspective also widened considerably.
anwhile, their views on Lin Chuan underwent change ti and again.
This situation continued for over a week.
January 9th.
“Thank you, Qianqian.”
Li Tong took a deep breath and looked at Shen Qianqian.
Shen Qianqian’s face was beaming with a radiant smile: “You’re welco.”
“How about we have dinner together tonight?” Li Tong genuinely thanked Shen Qianqian. This young lady provided her with a lot of crucial assistance; otherwise, she might still be lost in Lin Chuan’s novels.
Shen Qianqian declined politely: “Sister Li, I already have plans tonight.”
“Is it Lin Chuan?” Li Tong asked with a smile.
Shen Qianqian gestured with her hands: “Not Lin Chuan, it’s Xinxin, Lin Chuan’s girlfriend.”
“I see,” Li Tong glanced at Shen Qianqian and smiled, “Then I’ll pick another ti.”
“Sure.”
Shen Qianqian nodded her head.
After that, the two said goodbye, and Shen Qianqian left the office.
Inside the office, only Li Tong remained.
On the desk, there were three notebooks filled with notes, with densely packed, neatly arranged text. These were the materials Li Tong and Shen Qianqian had organized from Lin Chuan’s novels over these days.
This was just the condensed version.
If everything was recorded, it would probably take more than ten notebooks.
Li Tong let out a light sigh and flipped through the three notebooks again, imprinting their content in her mind once more.
She thought that this information could almost be kept as classified files in the police station’s archive.
Yet, this was all organized from a novel.
It was truly unimaginable.
She tidied up the three notebooks, then took out her phone and dialed a number.
Calling Zhao Haiping.
Dudu Dudu!
“Officer Li.”
Zhao Haiping’s voice ca through the phone, deep and authoritative.
“Old Zhao, I have important information to report,” Li Tong’s tone was calm and solemn as if she had made up her mind.
“Do you have any new developnts on your side?” Zhao Haiping asked.
“No progress on the Morgan and Baisheng conglorates for now, but there’s been a major breakthrough regarding Lin Chuan!”
Li Tong’s words made Zhao Haiping pause for a mont.
He questioned in confusion: “A developnt regarding Lin Chuan?”
Li Tong nodded affirmatively: “Yes, these days, I’ve been specifically studying Lin Chuan’s novels, including ‘Black Ice,’ ‘Ace Agent,’ ‘This Assassin Is Too Professional,’ ‘All-In,’ and I’ve made astonishing discoveries.”
Zhao Haiping fell silent for a mont.
For his generation, perhaps novels were sothing frequently read during student days.
After becoming a criminal police officer, Zhao Haiping scarcely had ti to read novels.
As for studying a novel?
That seed to be a term reserved for works of literature, like the four great classical novels, right?
Why was Li Tong at the Anling Police Station studying Lin Chuan’s novels?
“Go ahead and tell .”
After ditating for a mont, Zhao Haiping said.
Li Tong stated, “I’ve discovered Lin Chuan is an extrely dangerous individual.”
“How so?”
“To be precise, he is the executor of perfect cris, he is a criminal genius!” Li Tong said gravely.
