A rollback after death? Then let them offer their loyalty!

Chapter 10 Promotion

People began to quietly leave the conference room.

In the corner—

Li Feng leaned closer to Lin Yu and whispered, "Holy crap, they're really going at it... Deputy Director Shen is awesome!"

Lin Yu didn't reply, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Old Chen walking in from the side door of the stage. His steps were quick, and it seemed that something was wrong.

Then Old Chen said:

"Lin Yu! Deputy Director Shen wants you to go to her office."

The way the surrounding agents looked at Lin Yu changed.

Li Feng nudged his arm and winked.

Lin Yu nodded calmly, said goodbye, and left the conference room.

Although he didn't know why Shen Bing was calling him, Lin Yu felt it probably wasn't a bad thing.

As for Chen Tianxiong, a mere bureau chief is not so easily brought down; it was just a way to annoy him.

Fortunately, Lin Yu achieved his goal.

When Lin Yu entered Shen Bing's office, she was standing by the window.

"Director."

Shen Bing turned around. She hadn't smoked today and was holding a pen in her hand, the cap gently tapping her palm.

"sit."

Lin Yu sat down in the chair opposite the desk.

Shen Bing walked over and leaned against the edge of the table, without returning to her seat. Her long legs in black stockings were right in front of Lin Yu's line of sight, the tips of her high heels touching the ground.

For some reason, every time Lin Yu came in, he could see Shen Bing with two buttons undone on her chest, revealing her snow-white, perfect cleavage.

What's this for? To let the two White Rabbit candies get some fresh air?

Lin Yu almost forgot to turn off auto-aiming, so he could only stare intently at Shen Bing's face, his eyes gentler than a dog's.

What were your thoughts on the morning meeting?

"The Director is wise."

Having a leader like Director Shen is an honor for us detectives! Being able to work under Director Shen is truly a blessing beyond measure.

Lin Yu spoke with such sincerity that even Shen Bing couldn't help but give him a strange look.

A thought flashed through my mind: This kid is quite adept at flattery.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Bing turned around, took a document from the drawer, and threw it in front of Lin Yu.

"Signed."

Lin Yu opened it and saw a promotion order: Level 2 Detective, promoted to leader of Investigation Team 3.

The police station's official seal and Shen Bing's signature are already affixed below.

"Director, this..."

"What, you think your rank is too low?"

"No." Lin Yu picked up his pen. "I just didn't expect it to be so fast."

After signing, Lin Yu handed the document back with both hands.

Shen Bing took it, glanced at it, and threw it back into the drawer.

"Go out."

"Yes!" Lin Yu saluted and turned to leave.

As they reached the door, Shen Bing suddenly spoke: "Lin Yu."

"Director?"

"Do a good job and don't let me down."

Lin Yu's face broke into that obsequious smile again: "Don't worry, Director, I will do my utmost!"

The door closed.

Shen Bing sat back down in her chair, tapping her fingers on the table. She opened the drawer and glanced at the promotion order again.

Lin Yu's signature was quite neat, just like the one Shen Bing had given him two weeks ago when she brought him back to the police station.

Chen Tianxiong, whose goods were intercepted, was furious and was determined to use all his resources to catch the thief.

Shen Bing was the first to arrive at the crime scene and find the unconscious Lin Yu. She then took Lin Yu home to take care of him.

Shen Bing originally planned to ask Lin Yu for information about Chen Tianxiong's batch of goods, because what made Chen Tianxiong so anxious must be something extraordinary.

This might be the key to bringing him down.

Just as Shen Bing was showing him meticulous and insightful concern, and Lin Yu was about to reveal the location of the hidden goods, Lin Yu returned to the textile factory and killed Chen Tianxiong's men.

When Shen Bing found Lin Yu again, he had completely lost his memory.

Damn it! He just forgot everything like that?! What about all those memories we shared?!

Left with no other option, Shen Bing took Lin Yu back to the police station and slowly guided him to tell the truth.

Shen Bing compared the two documents signed by Lin Yu side by side, and they were indeed identical, which also meant that Lin Yu had not regained his memory.

But Lin Yu's behavior these past few days has been too abnormal. He usually acts like he's just waiting to die, but suddenly he took the initiative to come to her.

This surprised Shen Bing.

"Lin Yu, Lin Yu, what are you in such a hurry for?" Shen Bing pursed her lips, a hint of interest showing in her cool eyes.

......

Lin Yu returned to the office of the Third Investigation Team and heard Li Feng's loud voice before he even entered the door.

"Lin Yu is about to take off! Deputy Director Shen has personally summoned him!"

Lin Yu pushed open the door and went in; seven or eight people in the office looked over.

Li Feng immediately leaned over: "Lin Yu, how did it go? What did the director say?"

Lin Yu walked to his workstation and sat down, slowly tidying up his desk:

"Comrade Li Feng, you used to call me Lin Yu, and I didn't mind. But what should you call me now?"

Lin Yu tapped the two bars on the epaulettes.

"Holy crap! You really got promoted?!" Li Feng stared at Lin Yu in disbelief, his face instantly turning red.

"How could you get promoted? That doesn't make sense."

Lin Yu felt somewhat confused, but Li Feng quickly regained his composure and patted Lin Yu on the shoulder, saying:

Congratulations! I'm so happy for you.

Lin Yu smiled and didn't say anything more. Just then, Old Chen poked his head in from the doorway.

"Lin Yu, come out for a moment." Lin Yu got up and followed him out.

Old Chen lit a cigarette in the corridor and handed one to him.

Lin Yu took it and held it between his fingers.

"Come on, I'll take you somewhere."

"Where to?"

"The warehouse of the textile factory in the south of the city is where Sister Hong died."

Lin Yu frowned slightly, thinking, "Is this case really indispensable for me?"

However, he remained outwardly calm: "What are we going there for?"

"There are still some doubts at the scene. Deputy Director Shen said that the case cannot be closed like this and asked me to go and take another look."

"You're quick-witted, come with me, you might make a new discovery."

Lin Yu nodded and followed Old Chen downstairs.

The car headed towards the south of the city.

Old Chen didn't say much along the way, just smoking and looking out the window.

Lin Yu didn't ask; he knew Old Chen was observing him.

Looking in the rearview mirror, Old Chen's gaze would sweep over him every few tens of seconds, very discreetly, but Lin Yu could sense it.

Twenty minutes later, the car stopped outside the textile factory.

Warehouse No. 3 was still in its dilapidated state, with the barricades hanging halfway on the ground by the wind and the door ajar.

The scene remains as it was, except the body has been removed and the bloodstains on the ground have turned black.

Old Chen turned on his flashlight, the beam sweeping across the walls, the floor, and the pile of ashes in the corner.

Old Chen walked to the pile of ashes, squatted down, and poked at them with tweezers:

"How so? Does this place look familiar?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Old Chen immediately realized his mistake and quickly added:

"What I mean is, what do you think?"

Lin Yu's mind went blank; Old Chen's words just now were too strange.

What do you mean by "familiar"? This is his first time here, yet he's asking questions as if he's been here a long time ago.

Lin Yu looked thoughtful and squatted down next to Old Chen, staring at the ashes for a long time.

"No clue at the moment..."

"Alright. This matter is indeed not simple, and Director Chen is also paying attention to it." Old Chen considered for a moment, then looked at Lin Yu and said:

"By the way, the technology department has been studying that anchoring fragment for half a month but still hasn't figured it out. If you're interested, you can apply to take it back for further investigation."

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow: "Can I take it with me?"

"Okay. Write an application, and I'll approve it."

Deputy Director Shen said that you are now a Level Two Detective with independent investigative authority. These kinds of things should be left for younger people to study.

As he spoke, Old Chen took out an evidence bag and handed it to Lin Yu.

Be careful, don't touch it directly with your hands.

Lin Yu took the evidence bag and looked at the fragments inside through the plastic film.

For some reason, Lin Yu looked somewhat familiar the second time I saw him, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it.

Keeping his doubts to himself, Lin Yu carefully put away the evidence bag:

"I am indeed quite interested."

"I'll give you three days to write an analysis report. Deputy Director Shen wants to see it."

"clear."
