His phone rang.
It was the long-awaited Future News app’s exclusive push tone.
Lin Bai’s heart trembled, and he was in a trance for a moment.
He wondered if he was dreaming.
Ignoring the fact that the red light was about to turn green, Lin Bai quickly took out his phone and unlocked it.
On the screen, there was a semi-transparent push window.
The caption on it was faint, but it was still barely legible.
[Killer Doctor! The director of the city’s Emergency Medical Center has finally been caught for killing several people in a row!]
Lin Bai quickly clicked on the pop-up window in a bid to see the news content that he believed.
However, a wave of snowflakes suddenly flashed on the phone’s screen, followed by a notification that the battery had been used up.
The next second, the phone automatically turned off.
However, Lin Bai clearly remembered that the phone originally still had more than 70% battery.
No matter what, it was impossible to use up all the battery with just a push.
This was not scientific!
Lin Bai tried to turn on the phone repeatedly, but the phone did not respond at all, as if it had really used up the last bit of battery.
The signal light had long changed, and Lin Bai did not start. The car in the back of the line pressed the horn hard to urge him.
Lin Bai had no choice but to drive past this intersection first. Then, he parked his car in front of a convenience store.
“Please lend me your charger,”Lin Bai said anxiously.
When the battery was charged, the phone screen finally lit up again.
The battery was displayed at 1% .
Lin Bai had no choice but to believe it. The battery from before was indeed all used up.
Lin Bai suddenly had an absurd thought. He felt that perhaps the Future News app had foreseen the difficult situation he was about to face, so it had spared no effort to send the notification.
That was why it had used up all the remaining battery in the phone in an instant.
Perhaps there were many other costs, but Lin Bai still had no way of knowing.
Seeing the battery increase bit by bit, Lin Bai turned the phone back on. The result was just as he had expected. The pop-up window just now had disappeared without a trace.
Even the Future News app on his desktop had also disappeared without a trace.
However, Lin Bai was sure that it was still in his phone.
It was just that because of the interference from his superpower, he couldn’t see it for the time being.
Lin Bai held the phone to his chest and said in his heart,
“Thank you for trying your best to remind me. This is very useful. Thank you.”
The convenience store owner could not help but laugh and joke when he saw Lin Bai’s expression.
“Why are you so nervous? Are you afraid of missing your girlfriend’s message?”
Lin Bai smiled and did not explain. When he saw that his phone was almost fully charged, he paid the money and left.
However, he did not realize that when the bracelet pendant accidentally touched the phone screen, a faint ripple of water gently spread out.
In an instant, it was gone.
…
When he arrived at the police station, Lin Bai answered all the questions in a very cooperative manner. He carefully recalled everything he had done on the day of the accident.
In the face of the questions raised by the police, he also tried his best to answer them one by one.
After more than two hours, he asked and answered almost the same questions over and over again, but did not find any loopholes.
Only then did the police let him go for the time being.
“Mr. Lin, thank you very much for your cooperation
“However, we still have a lot of things to investigate and verify, so we can’t let you leave for the time being
“I’m sorry for making you wait here for a while.”
Lin Bai nodded to show his understanding and said,
“It’s the duty of a citizen to cooperate with the police investigation. As long as I can answer any questions, I will definitely tell you everything
“However, I have a small opinion. Don’t just focus on me to investigate, but also properly investigate others.”
“For example, the medical staff who rescued Wang Hao. They have also come into contact with Wang Hao. Maybe we can get some clues from them?”
The two senior police officers who were in charge of taking Lin Bai’s statement were very experienced.
When they heard this, their faces immediately turned sullen.
Although Lin Bai’s suggestion was only a suggestion, when they heard those questions, it became a question of their experience and ability in handling cases.
Of course, they wouldn’t be happy.
If it wasn’t for Chief Feng specifically instructing them to be as polite as possible to Lin Bai, they would have already started to argue.
“The police have their own procedures for investigating. We Won’t leave out anyone who needs to be investigated.”
One of the old policemen said this with a sullen look on his face.
The implication was:
There is no need for an amateur like you to make any random suggestions.
Lin Bai nodded repeatedly. “Yes, yes, yes. Of course, I believe in the police’s ability to handle cases. I believe that you will find out the truth as soon as possible and return me my innocence.”
The two old policemen left, leaving Lin Bai alone to sit in the interrogation room. Time passed like years.
At the same time, in another room.
Chief Feng had already watched the entire interrogation process through the surveillance camera.
He had even heard Lin Bai’s final suggestion clearly.
“Have the emergency medical center sent people to ask?”
Chief Feng looked at his subordinate beside him and asked.
The subordinate immediately replied, “They sent Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li to go, but they haven’t returned yet.”
“Send a few more people over and ask all the medical staff who participated in the rescue as soon as possible. If there’s anything wrong, tell me immediately.”
The subordinate was slightly stunned. He obviously did not expect Chief Feng to be so attentive to Lin Bai’s suggestion.
In his opinion, the suspicion of the medical staff was much smaller than Lin Bai’s.
Who would want to kill an unrelated stranger for no reason?
He could just send two young men over to ask. It was just a formality. was there a need to make such a big fuss?
Although he thought so in his heart, his face did not reveal the slightest bit of it. On the contrary, he nodded very seriously and agreed.
“Okay, I’ll arrange for people right away.”
Chief Feng nodded slightly. His gaze was fixed on the surveillance screen. Through the screen, he monitored Lin Bai’s every move.
He unconsciously tapped on the table with his knuckles. He secretly recalled the information he had obtained when he investigated Lin Bai.
On the surface, Lin Bai was just a college student from an ordinary family. There was nothing special about him.
However, the technology department had investigated the flow of funds in Lin Bai’s bank account at that time. The figure was frighteningly high.
Moreover, the relationship between him and ye Weijun was also unfathomable.
The old man had retired for many years and had never been involved in the affairs of the world. However, he could personally call and scold the director of the Provincial Public Security Department for his sake.
Such protection even made Chief Feng wonder if Lin Bai was the illegitimate son of the ye family who was wandering outside?
But whether it was true or not, one thing was certain —
Lin Bai was untouchable.
The power behind him was something few people in the country could afford to offend..
