Goddess Cultivation Chapter 285 : Police

Chapter 285: – Police

The police outside the bathroom were confirming the situation with Xia Tian, while Lin Jin inside the bathroom was completely confused.

So in this situation, should he act like nothing happened, take a shower, get dressed, and then head out to be eyed by the police and others outside who will think he has sothing going on with Xia Tian? Or should he just silently wait for the police to leave first?

Even with the water running loudly in the bathroom, Lin Jin could still hear several people outside talking about sothing.

But the issue was, even after the police sort things out with Xia Tian, they'd still have to go to Lin Jin's room to remove the caras hidden in the wall cracks and sockets. Lin Jin would have to be there for that.

Man, he really didn't feel like stepping out.

After a quick rinse, Lin Jin changed his clothes and stepped out of the bathroom, holding the clothes he'd just taken off. He happened to see a young policeman using a screwdriver to work on a socket that likely had a hidden cara installed.

The room was already packed with people. Xia Tian, two policen who looked young but were full of authority in Lin Jin’s eyes, and the landlady. Outside, three curious onlookers were peeking in.

When Lin Jin walked out of the bathroom after taking a shower, everyone’s gaze turned to him.

LFresh out of the shower, his carelessly washed hair could not be fully dried with a towel, causing droplets of water to trickle down the ends of his hair onto the floor. This with his slightly blushing face from looked at made him look like a hibiscus flower erging from the water.

"Once the police are done here, we'll head to your room" Xia Tian said, glancing at Lin Jin with no change in expression. "You go back first, I'll bring the police over later."

"Is she the one who found the cara?" another policeman who was standing by looked at Lin Jin, then nodded and said "No need to complicate things, just take

there to have a look."

"Okay."

Lin Jin nodded repeatedly. It didn’t feel comfortable to stand there under the gaze of five or six people. By now, he felt like his face was burning up. After nodding, while holding his clothes, he led the way for the policeman.

The policeman busy with the outlet should be around thirty, but the one talking to Lin Jin seed about the sa age as Xia Tian. Though Xia Tian looked cold like an iceberg while this policeman exuded a sense of authority, not at all like soone in their twenties.

Lin Jin was a little nervous. This was his first ti talking to the police. Although he had seen them on the streets before, he'd never actually had a face to face conversation with one.

"Follow ." Holding the clothes he'd changed out of, Lin Jin nervously led the way out of Xia Tian's room and down to his own room on the second floor.

"There should be two caras" Once they were in his room, Lin Jin looked outside his door and was relieved to see the onlookers hadn't followed. Breathing a sigh of relief, he half closed the door and continued to tell the police, "One is in the bathroom and the other is opposite of the bed."

"But the one in the bathroom should only be able to capture my head" Lin Jin explained, showing the policeman the locations of the two caras.

The policeman nodded seriously. He pulled out a screwdriver from his pocket, probably given by the landlady, and started unscrewing the wall socket Lin Jin had pointed out across the bed.

"This cara's placent isn't great. It shouldn't have been able to capture the bed, you can relax" the policeman assured as he quickly dismantled the hidden cara which was no bigger than a matchbox. "This is the only outlet facing the bed, and it's too low. It probably only captured your legs."

"Yeah" Lin Jin nodded, expressing his gratitude, "Thank you."

The policeman didn't say much and went back into the bathroom to work on the gap between the tiles.

The gap had clear marks of being glued or sothing, but normally, no one would bother examining the bathroom walls that closely. Even if soone did notice, they'd likely assu it was just dirty, not that a tile had been taken off and stuck back on.

The policeman directly removed the tile by hand and extracted the hidden cara inside. He put the two caras into a bag he carried with him, then did another sweep of Lin Jin's room to make sure there were no other hidden caras before asking Lin Jin to fill out a police report form.

But you know, it was said online that many policen tend to sweep things under the rug?

After filling out the form and watching the police leave his room, Lin Jin thought about what he'd read online. However, as soone who had just interacted with the police for the first ti, he didn't apply those online comnts to the policeman he'd just dealt with. After all, despite looking stern and not smiling too much, the policeman seed pretty helpful.

The hidden caras had been removed, but Lin Jin, alone in his room, still felt a bit uneasy like a startled bird. He couldn't shake off the feeling that soone might still be watching him or that there were other undiscovered hidden caras in the room.

The two police officers didn't leave imdiately but continued to inspect the other rental rooms. It took them about two hours to check all the rooms and they ended up finding one or two hidden caras in most of them.

This should be considered a big case, right?

Lin Jin sat on his bed as he listened to the noise outside. He supported his chin with one hand and played with Braised Pork with the other. After seeing a stranger, Braised Pork would freeze and turn as quiet as a stuffed animal. The mont the police ca in earlier, the cat froze and was too scared to move.

Even now, with the ongoing noise in the hallway, the timid cat still dared not move. It was completely shy and introverted.

"Braised Pork. Say, how old do you need to be to get neutered?" Lin Jin, with nothing better to do, began teasing the cat with a mischievous grin, "How about we go when I’m free this weekend?"

When Braised Pork, who was playing dead, heard this, he suddenly looked up at Lin Jin in horror. His big eyes filled with fear as if he'd seen a ghost.

Lin Jin laughed at the cat's reaction. He was planning to continue teasing it, but then he heard a knock on the door.

"The police have finished their inspection. We just wait for news now" Xia Tian said from outside the door, still holding his white cat in his arms.

"Yeah" Lin Jin nodded continuously, asking politely, "Want to co in for so water?"

"No need, I was just seeing the policen out and thought I’d check on the way" Xia Tian glanced at Braised Pork, who had gotten excited at the sight of the white cat, and imdiately retracted his foot from the room "I'm going back to sleep."

"Okay, bye."
