The Uncle Cops in all three cities were bewildered.
But they had witnessed Lin Fan's extraordinary abilities, so they asked no further questions and began following his instructions.
"Impossible!"
Wine God swallowed. The first two locations were where he had buried the bodies, while the machete in the grove at White Jade Village was the murder weapon he had used.
Although he had long since wiped all the fingerprints off the machete, he still worried that the Uncle Cops might find some evidence on it.
Run!
That was the only thought left in Wine God's mind. As a criminal who had evaded capture for so many years, he knew fleeing was the safest choice.
"Thinking of running?"
Just then, Lin Fan smiled faintly. "You can't get away. I called the police the moment I saw you. They're already outside your door."
The moment he finished speaking...
A knock came from Wine God's video feed.
"Anyone home? We're here to check the water meter. Please open the door."
[Ragdoll Cat: Pfft, the Uncle Cops actually used that old excuse!]
[Smart Guy: No need to guess. Anyone saying they're checking the water meter has to be an Uncle Cop.]
Wine God glanced at the chat and began trembling uncontrollably.
Suppressing his fear, he got up to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, more than a dozen fully armed Uncle Cops rushed in and pinned Wine God to the floor.
"Don't move! Wu Li, we suspect you of committing three murders. We are now lawfully taking you in for questioning!"
Wine God tried to struggle, but with three Uncle Cops pinning him down, he couldn't move an inch.
"You can't use excessive force! I'm filing a complaint!"
"Heh. Do you think we'd come to arrest you without evidence?"
Before long, Wine God was taken away.
Chapter 25: Going Viral!
The skeletal remains were unearthed one after another.
Every viewer in the livestream was terrified.
[Little Fairy: This is scary! They actually dug up human remains!]
[Medical Examiner Qin Ming: With remains in this condition, even an autopsy probably wouldn't help much.]
[Only Love Master Lin: The master is incredible! He divined the burial sites for three murder cases!]
They were all deeply shaken. Many had initially watched Lin Fan's livestream as though it were a scripted show.
Now that they had seen the remains and the murder weapon, countless viewers finally believed that Lin Fan was a genuine master!
Still, there were always a few discordant voices.
[Number One Hater: So what if they dug up some bones? Even if they found the murder weapon, it might not count as evidence.]
[Reborn Troll: Heh, these cops arrested an innocent man on some charlatan's word without bothering to establish the facts. What a travesty.]
[Rational Neutral: Let's be fair. Evidence is what matters most.]
This was a society governed by law. Even if they found human remains, they couldn't convict someone without grounds.
Without evidence, they couldn't prove that Wine God, whose real name was Wu Li, had committed the three murders.
"Don't worry. The Uncle Cops definitely have evidence if they're making an arrest."
Lin Fan yawned and said wearily, "As for what that evidence is, just wait for the news."
"That's all for today's stream. See you tomorrow."
He ended the livestream.
Dragging his exhausted body over to the bed, Lin Fan flopped down and fell into a deep sleep.
Although he had the system's help, telling three people's fortunes in succession, including helping one find his son, had drained far too much of his mental energy.
While Lin Fan slept soundly...
In less than half a day, one trending story after another shot up the rankings at a visible pace.
[Baby Come Home: After twenty years of searching, Brother Duan finds his biological son with a master's help!]
[Is this the corruption of human nature or the collapse of morality? Billionaire Wang Jianmin has an unspeakable problem!]
[Pingzhou Uncle Cops: Official announcement: Following an investigation, Wu Li, the perpetrator of a major murder case, has been apprehended...]
Every news story mentioned the same person. All three trending stories were closely linked to Lin Fan.
Even though Lin Fan had ended his stream, countless viewers continued pouring into his livestream room.
[Huang Shanshan: Did you see the news? A paternity test confirmed that the boy really is Brother Duan's biological son!]
[Fan Fan: He's a real master! The news said the evidence in Wu Li's major murder case was all found through leads the master provided.]
[Fengfeng: When is the master going live? I want him to tell my fortune and see whether I'll end up in prison next year!]
[Xiao Tuantuan: Hmph, you're all waiting for him to go live, but I've already found out where he lives. Come to my livestream! I'll take you to see the master tomorrow, right on time!]
Chat messages flashed past one after another.
Despite the black screen, the livestream room's viewer count broke one hundred thousand in just an hour.
Many people even camped in the room, waiting for Lin Fan to go live.
The Uncle Cops' announcement specifically mentioned the evidence of Wine God's crimes.
It turned out that when Wine God slaughtered an entire family in Jiangzhou, he had accidentally left behind a cigarette butt. Lin Fan had even divined its location.
Using a DNA comparison and testimony from a private clinic, the Uncle Cops easily established Wine God's true identity. With both physical evidence and witness testimony, they could naturally secure a conviction.
At provincial police headquarters...
Uncle Cops from Pingzhou, Yunzhou, and Jiangzhou had gathered.
"This is incredible. Someone this extraordinary really exists! He could divine Wu Li's entire life!"
"If it weren't for Lin Fan, we probably wouldn't have solved this case even in another twenty years."
"To be honest, I've always been an atheist. After meeting Lin Fan, my whole worldview is starting to change."
As the Uncle Cops discussed it among themselves...
A senior official walked over, and everyone immediately fell silent.
"Orders have come down from above. As long as Lin Fan does nothing that endangers society, we're to turn a blind eye," the official said solemnly.
Lin Fan's appearance had already caused an enormous stir.
But the country was very accommodating. As long as Lin Fan obeyed the law, the Uncle Cops would take no action against him. They could even use his help to solve old cold cases.
Meanwhile...
Outside Qianda Plaza in downtown Jiangzhou City...
A long convoy of cars had surrounded the entire Qianda Plaza.
Wang Jianmin got out and said calmly, "Find every milk tea shop downtown. Report immediately if you see the person in this photo."
At his command, countless men in suits sprang into action.
Only half an hour later, one of his subordinates reported that they had found the person in the photo on the sixth floor of Qianda Plaza.
"You found Hong?"
Wang Jianmin forced himself to remain calm, but the turmoil inside him nearly made it impossible to walk.
He remembered Master Lin Fan saying that once he met his first love, he could change his fate and finally have children.
Even after witnessing Lin Fan's abilities, he remained half-convinced.
He simply couldn't understand why seeing his first love would restore his virility.
On the sixth floor of Qianda Plaza stood a bustling milk tea shop.
Wang Jianmin dismissed his subordinates and approached the shop alone.
Looking inside, he saw a familiar, lovely figure.
Of all the people in a lifetime, a first love was the hardest to forget.
You might forget your first love's face, but you would never forget that familiar flutter in your heart or the sight of her from behind.
She glanced back, and their eyes met.
An eternity in a single glance.
"Impossible!"
Wang Jianmin swallowed. Even after so many years, his first love seemed not to have aged at all.
She was a mature beauty, with a voluptuous figure and a stunning face untouched by wrinkles.
After decades apart, his heart stirred once more.
"Jianjun?"
Chu Hong's pupils contracted as she looked at the man before her. Am I dreaming?
"Hong, it's been a long time."
Wang Jianmin suppressed his excitement. He finally understood what Lin Fan had meant. Only by meeting her could he understand what was happening.
That flutter in his heart seemed to stir his virility, dormant for decades, back to life.
"Sorry, the shop's a little busy. Have a seat. We can talk once I'm done," Chu Hong said apologetically.
