Chapter 1099 Discussing the Case
"What, let me work under him?" Xu Wei was momentarily stunned.
Letting herself work under this sleazy jerk—Xu Wei would never agree.
"I absolutely refuse to work under this guy!" Xu Wei glared fiercely at Lin Chen and said.
"Xu Wei, from today on, don't do anything else. Just focus on this case," Shao Lei said coldly.
"Chief, I..." Xu Wei looked displeased.
"What, this is an order. Haven't you always wanted to join the Dragon group? This is a rare opportunity!" Shao Lei said excitedly.
"Dragon group?" Xu Wei was instantly dumbfounded.
Xu Wei's gaze once again fell on Lin Chen. She never imagined that this sleazy-looking man was actually a member of the Dragon group.
"Forget it, since police sister isn't willing to team up with me, I won't force it," Lin Chen sighed.
"Wait, I'm willing," Xu Wei quickly said.
By chance, Xu Wei learned that in China, there's a department called the Dragon group, responsible for safeguarding the nation's and its people's safety. In her eyes, it was a very noble and prestigious profession.
Xu Wei had always regarded joining the Dragon group as her lifelong dream. She never thought the opportunity would come so easily—how could she let it slip away?
"Sorry, the opportunity is already gone," Lin Chen suddenly became serious, stood up, and was about to leave.
"Gone?" Xu Wei was suddenly dumbfounded. This was a hard-won opportunity and it got away just like that.
"Why?" Xu Wei asked unwillingly.
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Because you have a flaw."
"A flaw?" Xu Wei paused and immediately looked at her own chest.
"I, although mine is a bit small, but I…" Xu Wei gritted her teeth and argued.
Lin Chen was speechless, "Police sister, don't be so sleazy, okay? I'm not talking about that."
At this moment, Xu Wei was nearly driven mad with frustration. Who's sleazy? From beginning to end, it's been him bullying and taking advantage of her, and now he's accusing her.
Lin Chen looked at Xu Wei's dissatisfied expression and said, "I'm not talking about that flaw, it's your observation skills."
"Observation skills?" Xu Wei was instantly bewildered.
Lin Chen pressed the remote control for the video, and it replayed again.
"How many times have you watched this video?" Lin Chen asked.
Xu Wei thought for a while and continued, "No less than twenty times."
"After twenty times, have you gained anything?" Lin Chen continued to ask.
Xu Wei said, "The criminal is 182 cm tall, weighs about 50 kg, and favors his right hand..."
"Wait, wait!" Just as Xu Wei was about to continue, Lin Chen interrupted her.
"This is all you've observed? It's not only useless but has fallen into the opponent's trap," Lin Chen said blandly.
"Useless?" Xu Wei's gaze tightened.
Xu Wei graduated from the Criminal Police Academy in China, and all her subjects during graduation were excellent. Yet, this guy said her observation skills were useless!
"Then, may I ask Mr. Lin what you've discovered? Or are you the criminal yourself?" Xu Wei's voice turned cold, even sounding slightly provocative.
Lin Chen smiled and said, "Alright, then I'll tell you my discovery."
With that, Lin Chen pressed the remote control, freezing the frame at the point where the criminal appeared, and then slowed it down.
"Have you noticed this person's movements are a bit too mechanical, his walking doesn't seem natural like a human's?"
After hearing this, Xu Wei paused and carefully observed—it indeed seemed so.
Actually, when watching the video, Xu Wei felt something was off but never figured it out. Now Lin Chen pointed it out, she finally understood what was wrong.
Then zooming in on the criminal's image, Lin Chen pointed at the enlarged screen and said, "Look at this person's pupil. What do you notice?"
After looking, Xu Wei's face changed, "His expression is lifeless; it doesn't even look like human eyes."
Lin Chen smiled, "Seems you're not entirely hopeless."
"That's right, he isn't human, but a robot."
"A robot!"
After hearing Lin Chen's words, everyone was stunned. This deduction was so bold it was hard to believe.
"A robot, how is that possible!" Xu Wei was also stunned.
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Police sister, you're still far off."
Xu Wei collapsed onto the chair behind her, tears uncontrollably streaming down.
She had always been very confident in herself.
Since working, she solved many big cases and within less than two years, she had been promoted step by step from an officer to a detective squad leader.
But today she indeed lost, defeated by someone younger than her, someone she considered a sleazy man—Lin Chen.
Seeing Xu Wei crying, Lin Chen was also a bit reluctant, and when he reached the door, he paused.
"Recently, don't turn off your phone. I'll call you at any time."
Xu Wei's body faintly shook, instantly filled with joy. Lin Chen's last words were a clear sign she could continue to work with him.
"By the way, would you like me to help you with that flaw?" Lin Chen thought for a moment and said.
Xu Wei paused for a moment, casually said, "Sure!"
Lin Chen stared sleazily at Xu Wei, pointed with his finger, "I was talking about that."
"You!" Xu Wei stomped her foot angrily.
"Think it over! I'll wait for your response!" Lin Chen gave a cheeky smile and left the meeting room.
"Bastard, don't think that just because you're my superior, I'll let you off the hook—you'll see..." Seeing Lin Chen's sleazy expression, Xu Wei was about to explode.
Leaving the police station, Anna walked toward a military jeep.
"Anna, what's the urgent mission?" Lin Chen asked.
Anna took a deep breath, "Collecting Heaven Source Crystal."
"Heaven Source Crystal?" Lin Chen paused for a moment. In ancient times, there was a legend that obtaining the Heaven Source conquers the world. With the appearance of the Heaven Source Crystal, this world would definitely undergo storms and turmoil.
"Take care. If anything happens, call me immediately," Lin Chen said to Anna seriously.
"Don't worry!" Anna smiled and turned to get in the car.
Looking at Anna's silhouette, Lin Chen's heart slightly moved.
Anna was a very strong woman, even after becoming his woman, she still retained that unyielding spirit.
After getting in the car, Anna lowered the window, looked at Lin Chen with deep affection, and suddenly said, "Chen, come back soon, I miss you."
As her words finished, the jeep sped away.
Watching the jeep becoming a black dot, Lin Chen cursed himself for being too naive.
A small hand-off like this clearly can be handled by a lower officer, where's the need for Anna, a core member, to personally attend to it?
Obviously, Anna came on purpose just because she missed him.
"Had I known, I wouldn't have let her go, at least have a hug and a kiss or something," Lin Chen regretted in his heart.
