Chapter 178 You don’t suspect that I did it, do you? (Subscribe)
Dusk.

The sun gradually sets in the west, and an orange-red sunset glow appears on the horizon. The mountains in the distance become soft and hazy under the afterglow.

The lights on both sides of the street gradually lit up. Under the dim street lights, the shadows of the trees danced, and the breeze blew, making rustling sounds in the leaves.

A police car drove out of Linjiang Prefecture, passing through the streets where light and darkness intertwined, and headed towards the police station.

Lin Chuan is in this police car.

The Linjiangfu residential area is much closer to the Anling Police Station than the Xingfu Community.

However, due to the evening rush hour after get off work, the journey that originally took more than ten minutes took a lot longer.

In the car.

"Officer Shen, what's the matter with my case?" Lin Chuan and Shen Qianqian were sitting in the back seat of the police car and asked while there was a traffic jam.

"Comrade Lin Chuan, you are now a criminal suspect. Is this something I can ask you?"

Shen Qianqian turned around, blinked and smiled.

According to regulations, the case details cannot be disclosed at this time.

Lin Chuan's mouth twitched: "Officer Shen, you are killing the donkey after it has done its work!"

Shen Qianqian smiled and said, "Lin Chuan, your case is indeed mysterious. It is said that it has caused quite a stir in Linyi. Look, they have sent two police officers over to jointly try your case with us."

"So seriously?"

Lin Chuan raised his eyebrows, looking a little surprised.

Generally speaking.

For minor cases, we basically notify our sister units (police stations) and ask them to assist in investigating the situation, which saves a lot of manpower and material resources.

Only in extremely large cases would it be necessary to send someone in person to conduct a joint review.

"Isn't that right?"

Shen Qianqian curled her lips, glared at Lin Chuan, and said resentfully: "Who told you to be a little restless?"

She believed Lin Chuan.

However, Qin Sisi told her the basic situation and a lot of factual evidence, which made her a little worried about Lin Chuan.

What if something happens to Lin Chuan?

This guy is really a worry.

"Officer Shen, I am innocent!" Lin Chuan immediately protested.

"It would be nice if it was really an injustice."

Shen Qianqian smiled and then asked out of the blue, "Lin Chuan, have you ever robbed a tomb?"

uh-huh?

Lin Chuan's mouth twitched slightly: "Objectively no, but subjectively yes."

"what?"

This time it was Shen Qianqian's turn to be confused: "If it is, then it is. If it is not, then it is not. What does 'objectively not, but subjectively yes' mean?"

Lin Chuan laughed and said, "That is to say, I have never robbed a tomb, but I have had similar thoughts."

exactly.

It should be: It doesn't exist in reality, but it exists in the simulated world.

"You said you have never robbed a tomb, but I don't believe it. But if you said you have, I don't believe it either." Shen Qianqian also started talking nonsense.

"Qianqian, what do you mean?" Lin Chuan couldn't help but ask.

"You have never robbed a tomb, so how could you write such a realistic tomb-robbing notebook about the Seven-Star Lu Palace?" Shen Qianqian asked back.

"I imagined it."

In the back seat of the car, Lin Chuan said sincerely.

"Imagine." Shen Qianqian murmured, "Your imagination is too exaggerated."

She didn't say it out loud, but during the interrogation, Lin Chuan would know why.

"Since you don't believe that I didn't rob tombs, why don't you believe that I have robbed tombs?" Lin Chuan asked curiously.

Shen Qianqian smiled and said, "With your skills, if you had robbed a tomb, you wouldn't have to write novels a long time ago, right?"

"Forehead."

Lin Chuan's face darkened, and he asked, "Is writing novels bad?"

"Not bad, not bad. Your tomb-robbing skills are so superb that you can just rob a few big tombs and become financially free." Shen Qianqian said with a smile.

"I do want to." Lin Chuan muttered.

"uh-huh?"

Shen Qianqian widened her eyes and looked at Lin Chuan fixedly.

Lin Chuan smiled awkwardly: "But the law does not allow it, I abide by the law."

"That is not bad."

Shen Qianqian smiled faintly.

The police car shuttled under the street lights, waited for several traffic lights, and finally arrived at the Anling Police Station.

Lin Chuan was wearing casual clothes, a light grey T-shirt and loose jeans, with a faint smile on his face.

He stepped out of the police car without the fear and panic that a criminal suspect should have. His expression was calm and friendly.

Yes, intimacy.

It seems like this is his hometown, or more like his living room.

"Comrade Lin Chuan, thank you for your hard work."

In the police station, the captain of the criminal investigation team, Liu Daqiang, has been waiting here for a long time.

As soon as he saw Lin Chuan getting off the car, he walked up to him and shook hands with Lin Chuan in a friendly manner with a bright smile on his face.

Lin Chuan also smiled: "Captain Liu, it is my duty to cooperate with the investigation."

"Comrade Lin Chuan, let me introduce you. This is the deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Linyi Police Bureau, Captain He Zhihe." Liu Daqiang pointed to a policeman next to him and introduced him.

As soon as Lin Chuan got off the car, he noticed several unfamiliar faces. They turned out to be police officers sent by Linyi Police Station.

He raised his eyes and looked at He Zhi.

He Zhi is about 1.78 meters tall. He is wearing a police uniform. He has a square face, short hair, sharp eyes, and flying eyebrows. His face gives people a feeling of determination.

He Zhi stood in front of Lin Chuan, Shen Qianqian and Liu Daqiang with a strange look on his face.

He was a little confused and thought to himself, I came to Anling specifically to ask you to help me examine the suspect and investigate a serious case of tomb robbery and murder.

but!

How come you from Anling Police Station shook hands with the criminal suspect and acted like they were very familiar with each other?

He Zhi thought about it, then pulled Liu Daqiang aside and asked, "Captain Liu, is this the attitude your Anling Police Department always uses when dealing with criminal suspects?"

"We are upright when dealing with criminal suspects," Liu Daqiang said solemnly.

"Then the criminal suspect just now..." He Zhi hesitated.

Liu Daqiang smiled and said, "Captain He, Comrade Lin Chuan has not been identified as a criminal suspect. He has made great contributions to our police station."

It’s a pity that these things are classified as confidential.

It cannot be said.

He Zhi looked at Lin Chuan suspiciously and saw that Lin Chuan was dressed casually. He looked very relaxed in the police station and not nervous at all.

The feeling of relaxation is full.

"If you have nothing to say, I can start the interrogation then." He Zhi had a complicated expression.

He didn't want to waste time and wanted to find the key clues to the tomb robbers and murder case in the shortest possible time.

Now, the spearhead is pointed at Lin Chuan.

"Xiao Shen, you are responsible for the joint trial with Captain He." Liu Daqiang ordered.

"it is good."

Shen Qianqian nodded in response.

Facing these old acquaintances, Lin Chuan did not make things difficult for them. He walked into the interrogation room with confidence and sat on the familiar tiger bench.

The situation in the interrogation room remained the same.

Cold walls.

Incandescent and pale light.

Depressing atmosphere.

Fortunately, Lin Chuan was already familiar with this place.

"Comrade Lin Chuan, have a drink of water first." When Shen Qianqian walked into the interrogation room, she placed a glass of warm white wine on Lin Chuan's interrogation chair.

"Thank you."

Lin Chuan grinned. He didn't expect that after not being in the interrogation room of Anling Police Station for so long, he would still receive such service.

The salary has been improved!

He Zhi held the thermos cup himself and watched Shen Qianqian bring water to Lin Chuan, with a twitch of his lips.

The interrogation at the Anling Police Station and their attitude towards criminal suspects can be summed up in one word.

--Strange!
However, it is a bit strange. As long as Lin Chuan does not have overly close ties with the Anling Police Station and the Anling Police Station does not cover up for Lin Chuan, that would be fine.

He Zhi just wants to find clues and find the murderer as soon as possible!
This interrogation.

He Zhi presided over the trial, Shen Qianqian served as the deputy judge, and a police officer took the statement.

Basic information such as name, gender, ID number, etc. can be quickly hired.

"Comrade Lin Chuan, what is your occupation?" He Zhi asked.

"Online writer." Lin Chuan answered truthfully.

He Zhi held a stack of information in his hand, looked at Lin Chuan again, and continued to ask: "Comrade Lin Chuan, it is said that you were the one who led the location and excavation of the Han Dynasty tomb outside the suburbs of Anling City. Is this true?"

"true."

Lin Chuan nodded and responded.

"When you were excavating the Han Dynasty tomb outside Anling, you used the tomb-robbing secrets of 'locating dragons', 'smelling the earth', and 'fingering the cave'. Is this true?"

Lin Chuan nodded again: "It's true." "Where did you learn these tomb-robbing secrets? Do you have a master?"

"Officer He, I learned everything by myself, and I don't have any inheritance from a master."

Lin Chuan answered truthfully.

He thought to himself that Officer He Zhi was obviously well prepared, as he was asking him indirectly about his relationship with the tomb robbers.

However, there is indeed no master.

If there is one, it is the virtual world.

"Self-taught?"

He Zhi frowned and looked stunned for a moment.

These days, he has done sufficient homework to investigate this case.

The secret techniques of tomb robbing are all passed down from master to master.

The most common form of inheritance is the tomb-robbing family, from father to son, and from son to grandson.

This was the first time he heard of self-study.

"Yes, self-study." Lin Chuan replied calmly.

At this time.

Shen Qianqian, the deputy judge, said, "Officer He, we have a clear grasp of Lin Chuan's family information. His parents are law-abiding citizens and have never been involved in tomb robbery."

He Zhi looked surprised and nodded.

This approach didn't work, so he immediately changed his thinking and started from another point.

At this time.

He Zhi turned to the next sheet of information in his hand and asked:
"Comrade Lin Chuan, on July 7, you used the author account named 'Lin Mou' to publish a novel titled "Grave Mob Notes" on Qihang Novel. Is this true?"

"Yes." Lin Chuan confirmed.

"In the first volume of this novel, is the 'Seven Star Palace of King Lu' based on a real tomb?" He Zhi stared into Lin Chuan's eyes, trying to put some pressure on Lin Chuan.

He found that Lin Chuan was too calm.

From the moment he entered the interrogation room, Lin Chuan remained calm and showed no signs of panic.

If this happened in the Linyi Police Station, the criminal suspect who had been dealt with by him would have been trembling with fear and would have been treated truthfully.

Lin Chuan shook his head: "The 'Seven Star Lu Palace' I wrote is purely fictional."

"Are you sure it's fictional?" He Zhi asked again with a burning gaze.

"Confirmed to be fictitious!"

Lin Chuan nodded and confirmed it.

at this time.

He Zhi seemed to have caught Lin Chuan's flaw, and a smile appeared on his face. He walked up to Lin Chuan, put a few photos in front of Lin Chuan, and asked:
"Look at these photos. Do they look familiar to you?"

Lin Chuan took the photo.

The first one is a landscape photo, showing a Hulukou terrain with a waterfall falling and rushing into a small stone pool, stirring up water splashes.

On the small rock pond, there is an old tree that was broken by lightning.

"Ok?"

Lin Chuan frowned.

He Zhi stared at Lin Chuan's facial expression sharply. The slight frown just now caught his eye, and he immediately "took advantage of the opportunity" and said, "Comrade Lin Chuan, look down again."

Lin Chuan looked at the photos in the next chapter.

This is a bird's-eye view of the mountain.

In the photo, several mountain ranges meander across the land, with ridges surging, converging and meeting at one point. The surrounding streams meander like snakes, surrounding these mountains.

Lin Chuan saw it at a glance.

This is the momentum of 'surrounded by mountains and streams, and five dragons converging'.

The next photo is of an underground palace.

There is bright light in the underground palace.

There are whole pieces of stone slabs on the ground, forming the shape of Bagua, and engraved with words in large seal script.

In the middle is a four-legged square tripod, and around it are several eternal lamps.

Lin Chuan flipped through the photos a few more times, and the contents of the photos looked extremely familiar.

This is somewhat similar to the 'Seven Star Lu Palace' he had seen in the virtual world.

hiss!
Lin Chuan was slightly startled.

"Very familiar, right?" He Zhi stared into Lin Chuan's eyes and asked with a smile.

Lin Chuan did not give a direct answer, but instead asked: "What can these photos show?"

He Zhi smiled and said, "It means that the Seven-Star Lu Palace in your novel is based on a real tomb!"

Lin Chuan did not answer 'yes' or 'no'.

When the police are interrogating you, especially when answering key questions like these, you must be extremely cautious in your responses.

Lin Chuan thought for a moment and asked, "Is this related to the case?"

"Of course it's relevant."

He Zhi's voice was deep and echoed in the interrogation room, giving Lin Chuan an invisible sense of pressure.

But Lin Chuan was no rookie who had just entered the interrogation room. He quickly calmed himself down and asked, "What's the connection?"

"The national archaeological team excavated the Qixing Palace of King Lu based on your novel, and the details correspond one to one." He Zhi said with a smile.

"Then haven't I done something meritorious?" Lin Chuan's eyes lit up and he asked back.

This question almost disrupted He Zhi's interrogation rhythm.

Shen Qianqian, sitting on the interrogation chair, pursed her lips to prevent herself from laughing.

Merit?

You've been taken to the interrogation room, and you're still thinking about making a contribution?
Mr. Writer Lin, you are really amazing.

He Zhi was slightly startled, and immediately followed the original rhythm and said: "If this tomb has not been robbed, you are naturally a meritorious person, but this tomb has been robbed and precious cultural relics have been lost. At present, you are the most suspicious!"

"Stolen?" Lin Chuan was also slightly stunned.

"Comrade Lin Chuan, the prototype of your novel is your autobiography. If it is your autobiography, you will face charges of illegally excavating ancient cultural sites and ancient tombs. In serious cases, you may be sentenced to more than 10 years in prison or life imprisonment."

He Zhi's deep voice echoed in Lin Chuan's ears.

This is not alarmist.

The crime of tomb robbing is stipulated in the Criminal Law. Anyone who robs ancient cultural sites or ancient tombs with historical, artistic and scientific value shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years and shall also be fined.

If the circumstances are particularly serious, life imprisonment or death penalty may be imposed.

E.g.

There have been many tomb robbings, including the excavation of key protected tombs. As the ringleader of the tomb robbing group, they have dug up ancient tombs and stolen precious cultural relics, causing serious damage to the ancient tombs and precious cultural relics.

"Officer He, the novel is purely fictional and cannot be read as an autobiography," Lin Chuan argued.

"Some people's novels are not fictional. Your novel can be regarded as a criminal record." He Zhi said with a smile.

He has handled many cases and has dealt with many novelists.

I have also heard of many seemingly unbelievable cases.

There are actually people who write real experiences into novels.

For example, a spy or a northern tomb robber.

Lin Chuan's situation is entirely possible!

but.

Lin Chuan did not fall into He Zhi's rhythm, but smiled and said: "Officer He, I have never been to the Qilu area, how could I enter the Qixing Lu Palace to rob the tomb?"

"So, how do you explain the details in the novel that correspond one to one with the real Seven Star Palace of King Lu?" He Zhi asked in a deep voice.

"Officer He, this is not impossible to explain. Information technology is very advanced now. I can clearly see the direction of the Taiyi Mountains in the Qilu region on the Internet. I can extract a section of the location where the ancient tomb may exist and describe it to increase the sense of reality. Is this allowed?" Lin Chuan spoke slowly and leisurely.

He Zhi frowned: "What about the situation in the tomb?"

"Didn't you say that tomb robbers had entered?" Lin Chuan asked back.

"so what?"

"Since someone has entered, it cannot be completely secret. How do you know how many groups of tomb robbers have entered? After they came out, they sold this information in various ways. It happens that I know a little about ancient tombs, and I think its structure corresponds to the Seven-Star Palace of King Lu in the Qilu region. Is this reasonable?"

Lin Chuan said a long speech, and then he picked up the water on the chair and took a big sip.

'The novel is purely fictional. Any coincidences are purely coincidental.'

This is a cosmic disclaimer.

hiss!
He Zhi took a deep breath and looked at Lin Chuan deeply, thinking, this kid is well prepared!
The whole conversation was flawless!
It can be said to be flawless!
No wonder he was so calm and confident from the beginning.

but.

At this time, He Zhi was also in doubt.

If no other clues are found, Lin Chuan cannot be convicted based solely on a similar novel.

The novel is just a vine.

Whether you can follow this vine and find the melon behind it is the key to solving the case.

He Zhi thought about it, then turned to another stack of information and looked at it carefully.

immediately.

He looked at Lin Chuan again and asked, "Comrade Lin Chuan, we also found something different from what you described in your novel in the Seven Star Lu Palace."

"This is normal." Lin Chuan said with a smile.

"Aren't you curious?" He Zhi raised his eyebrows and asked.

"The collision between novel and reality is a coincidence. Isn't it normal that it is different from reality?" Lin Chuan raised his eyes and looked at He Zhi.

He Zhi smiled and continued, "It is indeed normal, but what is abnormal is that we discovered a murder case of tomb robbers!"

"You don't suspect that I did it, do you?" Lin Chuan twitched the corner of his mouth.
