"Oh, no way. I'll just follow the usual production process and make it step by step. There's no way I can go wrong."

The waiter was a little flustered. What he didn't know was that when a person prepares a dish, his mood will affect the food he makes.

Lin Ci waved his hand and did not ask the waiter to make it again.

"It doesn't matter. It's okay if it's a bit bitter. You have to experience what bitterness is before you know how sweet life is."

"You are really good at making excuses for me. It was obviously my fault, but you gave me a way out."

The waiter laughed a little embarrassedly.

The store was quite busy today. After the waiter had made all the coffee, he confirmed that there were no new customers before sitting down in front of Lin Ci.

Lin Ci was still relatively cautious and kept silent about his own affairs. He could talk to the waiter, and there was no problem with other matters.

The waiter always felt that Lin Ci in front of him was rather mysterious. He used to ask him once every day, but Lin Ci was very cautious, so he did not continue to ask. It was already very good to have someone who could chat with him in his spare time.

While chatting, Lin Ci looked towards the door of the police station from time to time, observing the movements of the police station.

He was not in a hurry to send the fake account book out. Going directly to the door of the police station in broad daylight would definitely attract the attention of people around him.

After a few days of surveillance, he knew that the block captain was always the last one to walk out of the police station.

But no matter how late the block captain worked, the chief would stay with him until the end to lock the door.

Lin Ci hasn't been here these few days. He came here to observe the situation. He doesn't know whether the director will continue to pretend to care about his subordinates these days.

Lin Ci kept observing and saw the block captain come out of the door, seem to get something from the police car, and then go back.

The time was so short that Lin Ci couldn't spare enough time to explain to the block captain. Even if he did, he wouldn't have enough time to explain to him.

Lin Ci waited until the evening, when it was almost dark, police chiefs finally came out from the police station one after another.

This time, the chief did not wait until the last person to leave, but left the police station at the normal off-duty time.

Lin Ci had been observing carefully, but he did not spot the presence of the sheriff or the block captain when they came out.

The waiter walked up to Lin Ci just as the cafe was about to close.

"We're closing. I want to keep chatting with you, but I have to work tomorrow. I can't bear it any longer."

When Lin Ci heard this, he quickly stood up and smiled at him embarrassedly.

477 "I have nothing else to do today, and I forgot your off-get off work time. I'm so sorry."

"It doesn't matter, but I still hope to see you next time."

The waiter said this with some reluctance.

Lin Ci waved goodbye to him.

Afterwards, Lin Ci continued to stand opposite the police station at the intersection, waiting for the block captain to come out.

After a long, long time, the pedestrians who were walking on the street had slowly left. Everyone was preparing to go back to sleep, and the shops on both sides of the street had already closed.

It was only at this time that the block captain appeared from the door of the police station.

The block captain closed the door of the police station and put the key in his pocket. He was about to leave when Lin Ci trotted over and came to him.

"Isn't this Lin Ci? Why are you here? Do you want to ask about the progress of the case?"

At this point the block captain couldn't help but sigh.

"I blame myself for not being able to do anything. There has been no progress in this case so far, and I am very distressed."

【435】The evidence is handed over to the block captain

Lin Ci said nothing, but took the block captain's arm and led him away from the police station.

Because there was a surveillance camera at the entrance of the police station, Lin Ci was afraid that the chief would check the surveillance camera at any time, and he didn't want him to know at the first time that the block captain had obtained the account book.

The block captain looked confused and had no idea where Lin Ci was going to take him next.

"What's the matter with going somewhere?"

The two people were still a little unfamiliar with each other, so the block captain could only ask politely.

Lin Ci didn't say anything and kept pulling the block captain to a place far away from the police station before stopping.

Then Lin Ci took out the account book from his backpack without hesitation and handed it to the block captain.

The block captain took it with a puzzled look on his face and flipped through the contents. He couldn't understand it at all, but could only get a general idea. However, he could clearly tell that it was an account book.

"what is this?"

"The boxing gym's account book."

Lin Ci said calmly.

When the block captain heard this, he was immediately surprised. He never thought that it was Lin Ci who handed the account book to him.

Lin Ci, at a young age and still a student at Guava High School, had once fantasized that a noble person would give him strong evidence, especially in his dreams several times, but he never thought that it would be Lin Ci.

"Why is this thing here with you?"

“That’s a long story, but what I can tell you is that the director had something to do with it.

I was passing by there that night, and the director happened to come out, advising others not to lose heart, saying that the account book would be found sooner or later.

In fact, he secretly hid it in the gap between two bookshelves at the entrance of the boxing gym. The reason why I knew this was because I was careful. After the director and his group left, I sneaked in and successfully found the account book in the gap between the bookshelves.

It is true that I had obtained the account book a long time ago, but I had not given it to you because I was worried that you and the director were in cahoots. It was not until these few days that I secretly observed you and felt that you were a good person, and time was running out, so I decided to give the account book to you as soon as possible.

If you don't believe me, you can go ask the waiter at the cafe if I have been waiting here these days.

Lin Ci said as he pointed to the coffee shop across the street from the police station.

The block captain followed the direction Lin Ci pointed and found that the floor-to-ceiling windows of the coffee shop faced the police station, so he could see everything going on at the door of the police station clearly.

But the block captain still has a doubt in his mind.

"How do you know the director is an undercover agent? What does he have to do with this matter?"

"It is indeed related, but I don't know what the specific relationship is. At that time, I really wanted to see who the undercover was, so I didn't leave the boxing gym and waited until late at night when someone's footsteps appeared. It was the director.

I saw it clearly, there was absolutely no mistake. He did not return through the main door, but pushed open a secret door, crawled through a hole in the secret door and escaped.

If you don't believe it, you can go check it out by yourself tomorrow. As long as what I say is true, you should believe that the director has something to do with this matter. With your judgment, you must be much smarter than me."

Lin Ci told the block captain everything he could, but kept what he couldn't say in his heart.

The block captain looked like he was struck by lightning at this moment. He opened his mouth wide and stared at Lin Ci blankly. He didn't even have time to turn around. His mind was in a mess and he had no way of accepting what Lin Ci said.

"¨〃 That's impossible. He's the chief and has worked in the bureau for more than 30 years. How could he be related to the owner of a boxing gym? He's not a fool. How could he not know that this is illegal? As sheriffs, if we are implicated in such things, the punishment we receive will be a hundred times more severe than that of ordinary people.

I believe he would never do such a stupid thing. Today and yesterday he comforted me, hoping that I could relax a little and helped me to regulate my emotions. "

The block captain tried hard to recall the director's recent actions in his mind, but he couldn't find anything abnormal about him. However, the account book that Lin Ci gave him did record everything. The transaction records of the boxing gym were real evidence. With this account book, he could kill the owner of the boxing gym.

Lin Ci continued.

“I just want to remind you that there is no way I can accomplish this matter. Now only you can end these cases and bring the bad guys to justice.

Believe it or not, of course you can also tell the director about the account book and see his reaction."

Until now, the block captain has not reacted. He is so distressed that he is doubting his own ability. Unexpectedly, the account book suddenly appears in front of him and is handed over to him.

Lin Ci didn't say much, and then left the block captain, leaving him standing there in a daze.

【436】Balancing family and work

Lin Ci returned home contentedly. At this moment, everything was ready, except for the east wind. He just needed to know the specific time of the next court session.

If the fake account book can be passed off, then the real account book in Lin Ci's hand is not important. If the fake account book is discovered, Lin Ci can bring the real account book and the witness to the court on the day of the trial.

Lin Ci has already said everything he should say and has tried his best, but he doesn't know whether the block captain will believe him or the director.

After being busy for several days, I can finally have a good sleep today.

After returning home and washing up, he lay on the bed and started snoring within a few seconds.

……

Unlike Lin Ci, the block captain was stunned holding the account book in his hand. It took him a while to react. He hid the account book and took it back home.

The block captain had never seen the real account book, and he had no way of telling whether the account book in front of him was real or fake.

When he got back to his neighborhood, the captain locked himself in the study, not even having dinner, and studied the account book in front of him.

He carefully read from the first page to the last page of the account book, which recorded the customer information of the boxing gym.

Date, specific time, expenses, etc., all detailed information are recorded in the account book.

It was not until the block captain turned to the last page and saw the last recorded customer information, which was exactly the time period of the day of the arrest, that he became more convinced that the account book in his hand was real.

"It's really easy to get what you want. After the case is solved, I will definitely thank Lin Ci. If it weren't for him, I probably wouldn't have made any progress. Even if I pulled my hair out into a bald head, there would be no progress."

At this time, there was a knock on the door and a woman's voice appeared.

"Are you busy with work again? Don't you even want to eat dinner?"

"Eat, I'll be right out."

The block captain quickly hid the account book and then opened the locked study door.

The block captain's wife stood right in front of him, holding his uneaten meal.

The block captain smiled and said to his wife.

"Okay, I'm not busy now. Let's go to the restaurant and eat."

There was no smile on his wife's face. After hearing the captains' answers, she just took the meal in her hand to the dining table and put it down.

After everything was ready, the wife took a pair of chopsticks and handed them to the block captain, then sat opposite him.

During the meal, the two were silent. The wife felt sad, thinking that the block captain focused too much on work and neglected his family.

The block captain was particularly glad that he had finally found a breakthrough in the case. Although the account book was not discovered by the follow-up captain himself, it was impossible for Lin Ci to compete with him for the credit. He was not a member of the police station, and in the end he would only get an auxiliary credit.

Halfway through the meal, the wife finally couldn't bear it anymore. She kept her chopsticks in the air and looked at the block captain with a somewhat empty look in her eyes. She had something to say but was hesitant about whether to say it.

The block captain didn't notice his wife's abnormality at all. He was almost completely immersed in his own joy.

Seeing that he didn't care about her at all, his wife couldn't help it and said to him.

"Is your work always so busy?"

"I will be busy soon. There is new progress."

The block captain couldn't help the smile that appeared on his face.

Little did he know that his wife had been enduring it for a long time. They had lived together for so many years. When there was a case, the block captain could hardly see him at all. When there were no buttons to press, the block captain hoped that he could quickly get a case that would allow him to win meritorious service.

In short, he has been immersed in work and neglected his family.

The block captain thought nothing would happen, but the next second his wife exploded and slammed the chopsticks heavily on the dining table.

When the block captain heard the bang, the smile on his face disappeared without a trace. He didn't understand why his wife did this, and he didn't understand why his wife couldn't enjoy the joy brought by the clue at the same time as him.

"Why are you suddenly angry again?"

"You think about work every day. Besides the case, you think about clues or progress. Have you ever cared about the situation at home? Do you know what time your children get up in the morning, what time they go to bed at night, how they did with their homework today, and how many points they scored in the test?

Don’t you care about these things? "

The wife tried hard to suppress her emotions that were about to explode, and spoke to the block captain in a wronged tone.

The block captain realized his negligence, but he felt that his wife was more in his heart and could not understand his job.

"But this is the nature of my job. I can't help it. I also want to spend more time with you guys."

The wife calmed down a little, realizing that her movements were a bit too big and she was afraid that she might wake up the sleeping child. She quickly stood up and went to the bedroom to take a look.

【437】The undecided block captain

The block captain's wife felt relieved when she saw the child sleeping peacefully.

Seeing that the block captain had no way of understanding her, the wife felt that what she had just said was like talking to a cow, so she simply stopped talking.

The wife sat opposite the block captain and ate in silence.

When the block captain saw that he had stopped talking, he didn't know what to say and could only concentrate on eating.

After a while, when they were about to finish eating, the block captain looked up and asked his wife cautiously.

"Did something happen at school?"

The wife hesitated for a moment, feeling that she couldn't bear it in her heart, and decided to tell the block captain.
