Volume 2: Chinatown Detective Chapter 0019: Unintentional
Ever since Mr. Yan and his men walked into the hall, Lin Yue had been thinking about one thing. Although the most logical choice for a thief after the robbery was to resign and leave, he could not rule out the possibility that the target had a strong psychological quality and was still working in the gold bank.
A local, short, left-handed, and associated with the gold business... These characteristics can be inferred from the surveillance video and the details of the case. As for the double white tiger tattoos on his arm, if the other party asks him for evidence, he can't tell anyone that the SD card of Songpa's camera is in his hands. This will cause him a lot of trouble at the police level.
As long as Mr. Yan can provide the screening results, he can complete the rest of the tasks by himself.
Another advantage of doing this is that it can produce evidence when the suspect is off guard, leaving him with no way to defend himself.
"Mr. Yan, Tony was mistaken for a thief by that smartass because he secretly helped Tang Ren and Qin Feng escape Huang Landon's capture. Ah Xiang can testify to this."
Seeing that Lin Yue’s suspicion of being the fifth thief was getting smaller and smaller, Ah Xiang quickly struck while the iron was hot.
Mr. Yan glared at her and said, "You can testify for this one, and then for that one. Which side are you on?"
Ah Xiang was stunned for a moment, and her smile became a little stiff: "Mr. Yan, Ah Xiang is just talking about the facts."
"Tony, do you think I care about the identity of the thief? What I care about most now is the whereabouts of the gold."
Mr. Yan walked towards the stage. "I will send someone to investigate what you said, but as for the gold... I will give you three days to find it. I will not make things difficult for you within three days. After three days, I promise that you will go to the Chao Phraya River with Tang Ren to see the crocodiles."
Lin Yue: “…”
I must be a fool to reason with gangsters.
Damn it Tang Ren, you’ve screwed me over so much.
"Tony, I'm sorry."
Ah Xiang's face was filled with guilt. She knew that Lin Yue had suffered an unprovoked disaster in this matter, but she did not have enough energy to help him resolve it. The kindness in her heart made her angry at Tang Ren's arbitrariness and resentful of her own incompetence.
Lin Yue patted her shoulder: "Don't worry, it's okay."
He was telling the truth. From the first day he came into this world, he knew where the gold was.
"Okay, it's a deal."
"Why are you the same as Qin Feng?"
Ah Xiang quickly pulled him out of the crowd to prevent him from making another mistake and saying more radical words that would offend the person on the stage.
In her opinion, Tang Ren being targeted by Mr. Yan and Tony being targeted by Mr. Yan were two completely different things. Tang Ren was an unlucky kid who encountered bad luck, while Tony did good things but was cheated. She felt sorry for him and thought that after this matter was over, she must make Tang Ren suffer.
"Just now I saw that you were quite confident in Qin Feng, why do you change your attitude when you come to me?"
Lin Yue sat back in his previous seat, picked up the cup and took a sip. Because the ice had melted, the taste was a little different from the beginning.
Ah Xiang waved towards the bar, signaling the bartender to pour two more glasses of wine.
"You two...are of different natures."
"What's the difference?" He said with a smile, no sign of anxiety or tension on his face: "The profession of police has always been accompanied by danger and hardship. I was mentally prepared for this when I was in the police academy."
Ah Xiang didn't speak for a long time, until the waitress placed two glasses of whiskey in front of the two of them, she sighed and said, "You are the best police officer in the Chinatown Police Station."
"Don't tell Mr. Huang about this. I don't want to be transferred to the traffic police department, directing traffic at intersections under the scorching sun and high temperatures. You see, I'm already dark enough. Mom has always advised me to marry a girl with white skin, like you."
"It's already this time, and you're still in the mood to joke?"
There were chaotic footsteps coming from the front, and Lin Yue felt a bunch of malicious eyes falling on him. He looked up and saw that it was Mr. Yan who had a great time and was walking outside with many of his men.
Ah Xiang had her back to the hall, unmoved as if she hadn't heard anything behind her.
Lin Yue raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her with a smirk: "Why, are you really angry?"
Mr. Yan comes to Shanghai Night Bar every month , and spends dozens of times more than ordinary people each time. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a VIP. When he came just now, Ah Xiang greeted him with a smile, but now that the customer is leaving, she doesn't even lift her butt. From the perspective of a businessman, it can be said that this is very inappropriate.
Why did her attitude change 180 degrees?
Lin Yue was not a fool. He knew that she was angry and silently protested to Mr. Yan for his experience.
"Hey, your supreme membership is leaving, aren't you going to see him off, boss lady?"
Ah Xiang glared at him fiercely: "If you keep talking so slickly, do you believe I will have someone kick you out?"
Not to mention, the young lady looks quite pretty when she loses her temper, with her raised eyebrows, slightly wrinkled nose, and the two rose-red petals below, revealing a seductive coquettish look.
"I know you are worried about me." Lin Yue said thank you sincerely.
"When I was still young, my father, who was seriously ill, once called me to his bedside. He put his unshaven chin on my forehead and said with a smile that even if tomorrow was the end of the world, I should live out the rest of my life with optimism. It was difficult for me to understand this sentence when I was a child. It was not until I grew up that I gradually understood that life is short and I should cherish the present moment."
Ah Xiang didn't say anything. She picked up the glass and took a big sip of wine, her red lips tightly pursed.
"You have successfully gained the favor of the heroine and established an image of an honest, kind, and optimistic police officer in her mind. You have obtained the skill [I am a good actor at level 2]."
The system's emotionless voice sounded in my mind .
Lin Yue's expression changed and he summoned the system interface in his mind.
The attribute menu slowly took shape like rippling waves, and sure enough, the [I am an excellent actor at LV1] in the skill column became [I am an excellent actor at LV2]. The description in the brackets was also updated accordingly - his acting skills improved and initially reached the level of a special actor.
"Fuck, there's even a training system!"
An unexpected result leads to a great harvest.
He just wanted to flirt with the beautiful girl because he had nothing to do, but he never thought there would be such benefits.
Actors in the entertainment industry are also divided into different levels. At the top, there are the best actor, best actress, best actress, best actor, first-tier, second-tier, and third-tier actors. At the bottom, there are the supporting actors, the promising actors, the small special actors, the medium special actors, and the big special actors. For new actors who did not graduate from a famous university and have no background or qualifications, being a special actor is considered to be a success. As long as there is a movie to shoot, they can earn at least 300 yuan a day. If they can go one step further and become a role actor, it is equivalent to getting a ticket to the entertainment industry.
Of course, after acquiring the ability to travel through the world of film and television, Lin Yue's vision has also risen. He will definitely not go to a film and television studio to work for a producer for just three or five hundred dollars.
He knew one thing very well, that the skill "I am a good actor" may seem useless, but it is actually very helpful for him to perform tasks in the film and television world. As the saying goes - life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills.
…
20 minutes later, Lin Yue left the Night Shanghai Bar and walked towards the parking lot in front.
Ah Xiang invited him to have dinner at her home, but he politely declined because he had been running around outside all day and it was time to report back to the police station.
The starry night is bright, the moonlight is like water, and the signs and light boxes hanging on both sides of the street spread out colorful lights.
He chose the alley with street lights on the right side of the bar and walked less than twenty meters when he suddenly stopped.
