When the technical department arrived, Lin Yuan happened to be away; he had gone to inquire about the blood analysis report.
"Just wait here for a moment. He should be tied up with something but will be here soon," said the officer who had brought him, before leaving him in an empty spot.
Other personnel from the technical department noticed him and exchanged curious glances, but since everyone was busy with their own tasks, they quickly lost interest.
Bai Qiushui glanced around, feeling a bit bored, and then opened the computer on the desk. Coincidentally, it was Lin Yuan's computer. The interface was simple, with hardly anything on it except for a few compressed files and a folder.
Curious, he clicked into it. Inside were numerous related files and some photos. Additionally, there was a simple compressed package. This was a program Lin Yuan had written himself; his computer served multiple purposes, so he needed to add an extra layer of encryption.
Interesting.
Bai Qiushui blinked and proceeded to extract the compressed package. Instantly, the screen filled with lines of code as the program began to run.
When Lin Yuan returned with the blood report and saw someone at his workstation—specifically that same kid—he quietly approached. He then noticed that his prepared code was already in operation.
"Are you saying the computer is impressive?" A sudden voice startled Bai Qiushui; he hadn't heard anyone approach.
Looking up, he saw it was Lin Yuan.
"The designer of this program is quite remarkable; do you know who he is?" At that moment, Bai Qiushui wasn't in the mood to mock anyone; he just wanted to know where this person was now.
Hearing that someone was looking for him, Lin Yuan chuckled, "You don’t even recognize the person you're looking for?"
Bai Qiushui paused in surprise. "Is it you?"
"Yes, it's me. What do you need from me?"
There happened to be a chair nearby; Lin Yuan pulled it over and sat down to meet Bai Qiushui's gaze directly.
"So you made the changes to the firewall last night?" Bai Qiushui disregarded their previous encounter; now that he had found him, those details didn't matter.
"How did you know it was me?"
The technical team here lacks the capability for this. Are you wasting your talents by staying at sea? Why not come back to Beijing with me?
His eyes sparkled as if he had seen something extraordinary.
Lin Yuan shook his head helplessly.
"I'm the consultant here; you should find someone else."
"But—"
"Little friend, you should step aside."
As he made way, a hint of reluctance flashed in Bai Qiushui's eyes.
At that moment, someone from the technical team approached, wanting to ask about yesterday's code. If possible, he hoped Lin Yuan could provide them with a copy.
Lin Yuan was generous and handed it over without hesitation.
Bai Qiushui understood the value of that information. Seeing Lin Yuan's nonchalant attitude, he momentarily felt at a loss for words in this police station.
No matter how good the technology is, it must serve the country; this is beyond doubt.
"How about I treat you to lunch today? Would you do me the honor?"
Lin Yuan agreed to the little friend's request and also needed to get a card for easier access when going out.
Last time, Zheng Yun had promised him something, and he had already ridden his electric bike over this morning.
Indeed, although he wasn't sure what the bureau chief was really thinking, he still approved Lin Yuan's request to run deliveries.
Fortunately, his account on the platform hadn't been canceled yet, so returning now was still feasible.
After arriving at the cafeteria, Bai Qiushui ate while watching Lin Yuan fiddling with his phone.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm going out this afternoon. If you have nothing to do, find a place to stay and come back tomorrow."
They found traces of a hallucinogenic chemical in Zhong Tiantian's blood; she might have been hypnotized or disoriented at that time.
Lin Yuan wanted to investigate this matter himself.
"Aren't you a consultant? Shouldn't you be staying at the police station?"
Lin Yuan glanced at him.
"Who said consultants have to stay at the police station all the time?"
That was Bai Qiushui's assumption. After all, there was an office, and the people below would investigate leads themselves, right?
"I'm sorry; I thought it was like that."
His apology was sincere. Although he had a bit of an arrogant temperament, it wasn't too off-putting.
When Zheng Yun learned that he was going out, she felt somewhat uneasy. After all, something had just happened a few days ago; wasn’t it a bit risky for Lin Yuan to go out now?
However, she was only responsible for work related to Lin Yuan's case. As long as the higher-ups approved it, she couldn't say much.
In the afternoon, Bai Qiushui still wanted to follow Lin Yuan, but after his identity was exposed, he was entangled by a group of technical staff and couldn't break free.
Lin Yuan, riding his electric bike, picked up a few deliveries and began to observe the surrounding buildings. He wasn't familiar with this area, so he needed to plan ahead for renting a place. Fortunately, the landlord was nice enough to refund his deposit; otherwise, it would have been troublesome.
After entering the community, Lin Yuan carried the takeout upstairs. It was already afternoon, and many people were ordering milk tea. So when he knocked on the door while holding two cups of milk tea, it opened to reveal two girls inside. Their faces were flushed as they reached out for the milk tea in Lin Yuan's hands.
"The last digits match, right?"
"Yes, just hand me the milk tea."
Lin Yuan passed the cups to her and watched as the door slowly closed.
Are young girls these days really such heavy drinkers? Thinking about his own limited experience, Lin Yuan couldn't help but chuckle. Coincidentally, Zhong Tiantian's mother also lived in this building. Since this was his last delivery, he had some time to chat with the security guard.
The security guard was originally considered an adversary by delivery workers, but fortunately, the property management here didn't reject delivery personnel. The guard at the gate was a burly man who was engrossed in watching videos on his phone.
Suddenly, Lin Yuan spoke up: "Isn't there a family in this area whose daughter went missing?"
The security guard looked up in surprise upon realizing it was a delivery worker. "Yes, there is indeed a family whose daughter just... reportedly committed suicide. You seem to be well-informed."
"Heh, I just heard it from others," Lin Yuan replied casually. "What a good girl she was—her grades weren't bad either. How could she have thought of ending her life?"
"I heard she committed suicide right in front of the police station," Lin Yuan continued. "I wonder if her family had some issues with the police?"
Upon hearing this, the security guard shook his head firmly. "That's impossible. That girl never reported anything to the police, and she had a gentle personality—she didn't seem like someone who would cause trouble."
A girl like that couldn't possibly have any connection with the police station.
