Chapter 32: Found
The following is an urgent news bulletin. On May 22nd, a family in Datang Village, Zhongzhou City was murdered. The police have identified the suspect, who fled south from Datang Village. This is a ph...Xiao Pei got her hands on the phone and ran to Wang Lin, starting to operate it.
Wang Lin endured his anger and said, "I just now seemed to have seen the express delivery I sent."
Xiao Pei was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Where is it" She even stuck her head out to look around and said, "There's nothing here!"
Wang Lin pointed to the box in the room. "That's it."
Xiao Pei stiffened all over, but he still pretended to be tough and refused to admit it. "No, that's yesterday's delivery."
"That's Huatong's delivery slip. I didn't deliver it to you yesterday, take a look" Wang Lin was still trying to save face for Xiao Pei. If he directly exposed the truth, Xiao Pei might hold a grudge.
As a service industry professional, Wang Lin knows how troublesome it is to be resented by customers, so unless it's a critical moment, Wang Lin won't deliberately offend others.
"Is that so Let me see." At this point, Xiao Pei also knew she couldn't keep up the charade. She thought to herself, "Looks like I won't be able to get any money today. Next time, I must make sure to keep the express box hidden!"
She picked up the box and looked at it, then at Wang Lin. Wang Lin glanced at the shipping label, then took out a piece of paper from his bag and compared it. They were exactly the same.
He held up the menu in his hand for Xiao Pei to see. Xiao Pei awkwardly said, "Uh, the same as usual. This is the one you gave me. I guess my husband brought it in. He's on night shift and probably got confused."
Listening to Xiao Pei's forceful explanation, Wang Lin didn't say much. "Since the courier has been found, that's fine. I'm leaving first."
"Alright, thank you. Sorry for the trouble." Xiao Pei still thought Wang Lin didn't know what she had done, and said it insincerely.
"It's fine, just let the courier find it. Bye." Wang Lin didn't want to stay here for another second, so after saying that, he turned and left.
Group chat.
Wang Lin: "Everyone, the courier has been found, at her place."
Guo Feng Lao Fu: "Wow! Mu Tu, she let you into her house"
Wang Lin: "No, I pushed her away and watched it myself."
Little Rabbit Lao Ba: "That's amazing! When I went there, she had the door bolted shut tight, I couldn't get in at all."
Wang Lin: "Heh heh, we're geniuses! [Sunglasses Yellow Face]"
Song Wenxiao: "Amazing!"
Wow!
You are so awesome!
Guo Feng Lao Fu: "Old driver, take me for a spin!"
"Haha, tuition is one bottle of water. If you want to learn quickly, come now! Limited to two people, first come, first served!"
"Haha!"
That taken care of, another half hour passed. Wang Lin's morning deliveries were still not complete, and the signing rate was definitely not enough. But he still switched to acceleration mode. After all, even saving a little bit of money is good; every little bit counts.
The morning was spent busily, after lunch Wang Lin returned to the station and prepared to find a place for a nap. But just after lying down for not long, the phone rang.
"Hello Who is this" Wang Lin asked after answering the phone.
“Hello, is this Mr. Wang Lin” A serious voice came from the phone.
"I am, is there anything I can help you with"
"I'm from Ziyun Community Police Station. Someone reported yesterday that you took 20,000 yuan from them early the day before yesterday."
"What I took someone else's 20,000 yuan" Wang Lin was somewhat incredulous. He looked at his phone screen, and the caller ID hadn't been marked as a scam call. Could it be a new number
"I didn't take it!" He said, then hung up the phone decisively.
On the other side, the police officer stared blankly at the phone in his hand, “He actually dared to hang up on the police!”
Then, he went and hit it again as if he wasn't going to give up.
While Wang Lin was hearing the phone ring again, he helplessly answered, "I really didn't take it."
"Whether you took it or not, please come to the community police station for an investigation."
"Are you okay I told you I didn't take it, why are you still here Don't scammers even try to change up their lines anymore"
"Why change your story No, I'm really a police officer. Please come to the station. Just come for a bit and you'll know." There was some resignation in the voice on the other end of the phone.
"I'm busy working now. Let's talk after work! Also, scammers are calling the police these days. Why are you still doing things the old way Didn't you just get out" Wang Lin said with a hint of teasing.
"Let me tell you this... I'm a real police officer, badge number 9527!"
The person on the phone was so angry they were about to swear, but Wang Lin remained as calm as ever, saying, "As soon as I heard that siren, I knew it was fake. Hang up, you're not fooling me. Don't waste my time."
Wang Lin pressed the hang-up button, set his phone to silent, and continued to lie down and rest.
On the other side, the police officer who had just called Wang Lin was cursing angrily, "Damn it, this is the first time I've been treated like a liar by a thief. What the hell! You don't believe me, do you I'll keep hitting!"
But no matter how many times he called, there was always no answer. The police officer slumped down in his chair, his eyes vacant and mouth slightly open, looking utterly despondent.
"Have you all become so aware of scams now I should be happy, but don't you dare treat me like a scammer! I have the uniform, whistle, hat, badge— everything. You can just take a look, right"
"Forget it, let's request technical location! I want to bring him back myself, or else I can't get rid of the hatred in my heart!" As soon as he finished speaking, he called the technical department.
"Please help me locate a mobile phone number, the number is ....... "
Okay, I'll be waiting for your message.
"It's best to notify the victim first, after all, they lost so much money."
The other half, Wang Lin, slept until two in the morning and was woken up by colleagues to start work.
Time flew by. When Wang Lin picked up his fully charged phone after finishing his work, he found that the scam caller had dialed five or six times again, and another number had called over thirty times in a row.
"Is there something urgent" Wang Lin looked at the unfamiliar number and decisively called it back.
The phone connected quickly, and a very excited voice came through "Is it Brother Wang We finally got through! Brother Wang, you've been so hard to find!"
Wang Lin was a little puzzled. This was the first time someone had called him "Brother Wang." He instinctively suspected that this person might be looking for something from him. "Did you get it wrong Although my last name is Wang, I don't know you, and I'm not your brother."
"No mistake, no mistake. Are you Wang Lin"
"Yes, who are you"
"My name is Li Chuang. Wang Ge definitely doesn't know me, but I received a task from my boss. He asked me to find you and invite you back." Li Chuang explained hurriedly, and also stated his purpose.
"What do you want me to do I don't even know any bosses," Wang Lin asked curiously. Could a boss be looking for him It was impossible, right Could it be Song Zhe
"To be honest, I don't really know. I just received a task from my boss. My boss's name is Zhou Qi, and he's the owner of Fang Hua Bar." Li Chuang answered truthfully.
"Oh, I don't know. It's okay then, I'll hang up now. I have things to do." Wang Lin said impatiently. This person was clueless and was just wasting his time.
"Alright, you're busy first. I'll give you a call later tonight. It might also be my boss calling you directly." Li Chuang happily hung up the phone. After all, his task was to find people, he didn't know anything else.
Wang Lin didn't think much about it. "They're calling me 'sir,' so respectful to me. Are they asking for my help But besides delivering packages, I don't know how to do anything else!"
Never mind, let's get to work first. We can talk about the rest later this evening.
Li Chuang then reported the matter to Zhou Qi and informed him of Wang Lin's phone number and that he should call back later, before finally hanging up.
"Ugh, finally I can go back." Li Chuang opened his arms and took a deep breath, then with panda eyes once again arrived at the police station.
He wanted to withdraw the police report so that the police wouldn't really arrest Wang Lin, which would be embarrassing. his eyes filled with anticipation.Five minutes later, Lao Er's voice returned to Wang Lin's mind. At this point, Lao Er didn't need to speak, Wang Lin already understood everything.He stood up with a...
