The next day!
Lin Fan was still in slumberland when he was suddenly awoken by a phone call . Initially, he was a little p*ssed off but when he saw the display on the phone, he became curious .
It was from Liu Xiao Tian . For Liu Xiao Tian to call him so early, there must have been a reason . He wouldn't just call him for no rhyme or reason .
"Hello, Inspector Liu . What is it?" Lin Fan asked upon picking up the phone .
On the other side of the call, Liu Xiao Tian seemed a little excited . "Master Lin, this is huge…"
"Huge? What's huge? Does this even have anything to do with me?" Lin Fan was curious . For a police officer to tell him that something huge had happened, it must've been quite something .
Liu Xiao Tian appeared to still be in shock . "It does . It has a lot to do with you . Master Lin, you've done us a great service once again . "
"Great service?"
When he heard those words, he suddenly became more awake .
Lin Fan asked, "What great service?"
Liu Xiao Tian laughed . "Remember that old man from yesterday? We interrogated him last night and discovered something huge . Thereafter, we even arrested over ten of his accomplices . They're all locked up here now . "
Lin Fan was a little confused . "Please elaborate . I don't understand . "
Liu Xiao Tian was silent for a moment, putting his thoughts together . "Master Lin, I'll explain it to you slowly . That old man called himself the person-in-charge of IOA Human Genome Corporation but according to our investigations, there is no such corporation overseas . Moreover, during the interrogation, we discovered that this old man is an international con artist . He even brought over ten accomplices with him to Shanghai this time and disguised himself as a wealthy person . "
Lin Fan said, "He disguised himself as a wealthy person? Then why did he try to scam me? I don't think I have much to scam, do I?"
Lin Fan hadn't read the fortune of the old man and he had been thinking that the old man was a multi-level marketer all along . This was pretty f*cking awesome .
When he heard that, Liu Xiao Tian couldn't help but start laughing, "Master Lin, let me warn you in advance not to laugh at this . That old man was rather disciplined with his mouth and he didn't reveal anything . But those accomplices of his were all terrified . Amongst them, only that old man is a foreign Chinese . According to their confession, they would look at the news in search of outstanding talents from various industries . Then, this old man would disguise as a wealthy person and try to lure these people using various outrageous ideas . "
"If those people are successfully lured, they would follow him overseas . When that happens, they would've fallen for the trap . They came looking for you because your Chinese medicine ability is amazing . They wanted to lock you up and have you develop new medications specially for them . And then they would give you a bit of food for every medicine you develop or something like that . "
When Lin Fan heard that, he groaned in his heart . He felt that these people's methods were quite profound .
"Then what's the situation now?" asked Lin Fan .
Liu Xiao Tian replied, "I've already reported this incident to the higher-ups . Also, I've managed to find out quite a lot from the interrogations . It seems that many cases of disappearances in the past were because of this old man . "
"One of them is a financial genius . Back then, he got scammed into following the old man to America . Thereafter, he's been locked in a small room . With multiple people supervising him, he has been forced to earn money for them . Now, we've already contacted the international police to rescue him from his location . There's no news as of now but it shouldn't be much of a problem . "
At that moment, Lin Fan could already understand how this old man worked . However, it was quite incredible .
To scam talents from various industries into following him to America and then locking them up and having them earn money for them .
But he really wanted to know just how that financial genius had been tricked .
However, thinking about that old man's performance, it probably would have been able to trick most people .
Lin Fan hadn't expected a small incident to be connected to such a crime . It was rather unexpected .
"Alright then . I didn't expect that my casual report would help you to catch such a big tiger . Alright, that's enough talk for today . I have to go back to sleep for a while more . " After finding out the truth, Lin Fan wasn't interested in knowing any more details .
"Oh, right . Inspector Liu, since I've unintentionally cracked a big case, do you think I can still get a Good Citizen Award?" asked Lin Fan with a laugh .
Lin Fan was quite interested in this award . Hanging it up on the wall of his shop made it look really nice .
Also, he would be able to tell others indirectly, 'Look, I'm a good citizen . A good Samaritan!'
Liu Xiao Tian had seen this coming . Then, he became annoyed . "Master Lin, you must be trying to take every Good Citizen Award in Shanghai for yourself . No, there will be no more Good Citizen Awards for you . "
Lin Fan whined helplessly, "What a shame . "
Then, they chatted for a while more before hanging up .
Looking at the time, it was still early . Lin Fan put his head down and went to sleep again .
Cloud Street!
When Lin Fan reached, Zhao Zhong Yang immediately came over to him . "Brother Lin, how's the situation regarding that old man from yesterday?"
Lin Fan chuckled . "Look at the news for yourself in a few days . I can't explain it clearly but I can understand now why he didn't want Fraud Tian to join him…"
"Why is that?" Zhao Zhong Yang was very curious .
He really wanted to know what that incident was all about .
"Don't ask why . You'll know once you see the news in a few days . Right, where's the doggy?" Lin Fan looked all over but couldn't find the doggy .
During this period of time, he hadn't been paying much attention to the doggy . After all, Elder Dog wasn't just any dog . He could even be said to be a godly dog .
He would disappear for whole days and only return at night .
Of course, Lin Fan knew the reason for that . Elder Dog must have gone out to do good deeds .
Elder Dog would also bring his group of puppies around to roam the streets and check out the scenery sometimes .
As for whether they would get bullied by people, that was needless to say . With Elder Dog's current power, it was good enough that he didn't bully people .
"I don't know . He went out early in the morning," said Zhao Zhong Yang .
Lin Fan felt that Elder Dog was becoming less and less like a dog . He was becoming similar to a human . And it wasn't the first or second time that he was feeling this .
Noontime .
Lin Fan came to the riverbank to fish once again . He had to make good use of the angling major class of knowledge .
"Sigh, can I please get something fun?" Lin Fan held the fishing rod in his hands as he felt a little frustrated .
Although the things he fished up were pretty good, the main point was that they weren't what he wanted . In fact, they were very different from what he wanted .
"Oh, it's coming…" At that moment, a peculiar feeling came from his fishing rod . He was fantasizing in his mind what it could possibly be .
He lifted his fishing rod . When he saw what was biting on the bait, a smile appeared on his face .
He grabbed it with his hand a took a look .
100-year-old ginseng .
Another good item had reached his hands .
