Zhang Tian'ai was about to explain the case to Lin Chen but heard him dismiss them.
She was helpless but said, "Mr. Lin, this case is very important. We really can't afford delays. Can't you come with us to the crime scene today?"
Lin Chen touched his forehead and said impatiently, "I told you, I'm busy today. Don't you understand?"
Hearing this, Zhang Tian'ai bit her lip and said, "Alright, I'll come again tomorrow. Sorry for disturbing you, Mr. Lin."
After speaking, Zhang Tian'ai left the building with Wang Tao.
Outside, Wang Tao glanced up at the building and said, "Damn, what's with this guy's attitude? I really don't get why Deputy Director Sun trusts him to solve a case none of us could. Does he even look like he can solve crimes?"
Zhang Tian'ai shook her head and said, "I don't see anything special about him either. But if Deputy Director Sun speaks so highly of him, maybe he really has the ability."
"Hmph," Wang Tao sneered, "I don't think so. Look at his scruffy style. Probably never even went to university..."
The two got into their police car and drove off.
The next day, Lin Chen woke up early and pulled back the curtains to let the morning sun shine on him.
He stretched comfortably, enjoying a moment of leisure.
"The thing in my head has been tormenting me for three months. Now it's finally integrated..."
Lin Chen smiled, looking out at the street and muttering, "The Donglin University Dismemberment Case seems interesting. I'll check it out today and settle the favor I owe Old Sun. Then I won't owe him anything else."
Lin Chen changed his clothes and prepared to go out for breakfast.
Just as he went downstairs, the doorbell rang.
He opened the door to find Zhang Tian'ai in her police uniform, her hair tied up, and a slender waist.
Looking at Zhang Tian'ai, Lin Chen said, "You're early."
Zhang Tian'ai showed no expression and said, "The Donglin University Dismemberment Case is horrible. Without a break in the case, we're restless. Mr. Lin, can we depart now?"
"What's the rush? I haven't eaten breakfast yet," Lin Chen said, putting on a jacket.
After leaving the building, Lin Chen bought soy milk and steamed buns from the street and then got into the police car Zhang Tian'ai had driven.
They rode in silence for over an hour until finally arriving at the gates of Donglin University.
Tianhai City is a second-tier city with several well-staffed, nationally supported universities.
Donglin University is one of the better universities in Tianhai City. Many students and parents take pride in attending it.
However, after the recent Dismemberment Case in the Female Dormitory, panic spread across Donglin University. Students with means moved off-campus, while those without had to endure staying inside.
The higher-ups have put enormous pressure on the police in Tianhai City to quickly solve the case and catch the killer.
The police car stopped at the university playground. Inside, Zhang Tian'ai glanced at Lin Chen in the passenger seat and said, "We're here."
Lin Chen got out and scanned the university grounds.
He hadn't attended university in his previous life, nor had he this time.
Several male officers waiting by the playground walked over.
Among them was Wang Tao, who had accompanied Zhang Tian'ai to Lin Chen's home yesterday, and a tall man named Fang Xinzhou.
Fang Xinzhou was the captain of the Serious Crime Unit in the Criminal Police Brigade. Besides his influential family background, he was a graduate of the Criminal Police Academy and possessed genuine skills.
Upon seeing Lin Chen get out of the car, Fang Xinzhou frowned.
When Fang Xinzhou, Wang Tao, and others approached, Zhang Tian'ai immediately pointed at Lin Chen and introduced, "This is Mr. Lin, as Deputy Director Sun mentioned. Mr. Lin, this is Fang Xinzhou, captain of our Serious Crime Unit."
Lin Chen glanced at Fang Xinzhou and noticed the expressions on the detectives' faces.
"Hello, Mr. Lin," Fang Xinzhou said with a sidelong glance and extended his hand.
Lin Chen responded by shaking Fang Xinzhou's hand.
At that moment, another police car entered the university gate and stopped beside them.
They all looked at the vehicle as the door opened, and Deputy Director Sun along with several veteran detectives stepped out.
Seeing Deputy Director Sun, Zhang Tian'ai, Fang Xinzhou, and others saluted and greeted him.
Deputy Director Sun nodded slightly, stretched out his hands, and smiled warmly at Lin Chen.
"Brother Lin Chen, if it weren't for having no other options, I wouldn't have troubled you this time," Deputy Director Sun said politely, shaking Lin Chen's hand.
Lin Chen nodded lightly and said, "Old Sun, I owe you a favor. This time I'm here to repay it."
Deputy Director Sun's face slightly changed, revealing a trace of bitterness.
Fang Xinzhou felt annoyed seeing Lin Chen call Deputy Director Sun "Old Sun" so informally.
Fixing his gaze on Lin Chen, Fang Xinzhou asked, "Deputy Director Sun speaks highly of you, Mr. Lin. May I ask which police academy you graduated from and what major cases you have solved?"
Lin Chen replied, "I never went to police academy. If a single Dismemberment Case can baffle you all, then your so-called police academies are useless."
"You dare to question us police?" Fang Xinzhou frowned angrily.
Deputy Director Sun frowned and said, "Comrade Xiao Fang, mind your attitude towards Mr. Lin."
