I'm a New Police Detective: Specializing in Solving Strange Cases

Lin Yu was thinking about how to answer. The other party called him uncle, which was considered to be respectful to him.

He stammered for a long time: "As for the bride price, it is actually a traditional custom. It's just that in some places it's too high and may even affect the imbalance in marriage between men and women."

This time the boy who had been silent all this time also responded: "Uncle, you are absolutely right. What era is this? We still need a dowry."

The girl also echoed: "That's right, what are these adults thinking about?"

Lin Yu smiled at them and said nothing.

Lin Yu arrived, and before getting off the car, the girl gave him a candy, saying that it was a wedding candy for him to eat, so that he could share in the good luck.

Lin Yu took the candy and watched their car gradually disappear into the night.

He stood there for a long time without leaving.

He never ate the candy until two days later, when he finally understood the truth about why the girl had been asking about the gift.

After solving a major case, they all got a day off.

Most people would go out and have fun for a day, but Lin Yu just stayed at home and slept soundly, maybe because he stayed up too late yesterday.

He swiped his phone and several messages popped up.

Yu Xiaoyu: "Brother Lin, did you go anywhere to play today?"

"Brother Lin, are you up yet?"

Then they asked where to go for fun, where to eat, and whether I wanted to go to Faxi Temple. I heard that praying for marriage there is very accurate.

Lin Yu wondered whether he should reply to her. What happened to this girl?

He opened the refrigerator and found that he still had a few steamed buns and dumplings that he had brought back from Harbin City, which was just enough for lunch.

Then, while eating, he replied to Yu Xiaoyu: "I just finished eating. Let's go to Faxi next time. I have to buy hairy crabs today."

Yu Xiaoyu: "Hairy crabs? Should we send them to Li Xin and the others?"

Lin Yu replied with a "hmm", and strangely, Yu Xiaoyu stopped sending messages.

Lin Yu exited WeChat chat, opened the local information website, and searched where to buy hairy crabs.

Then he went and bought a whole box, weighing several dozen kilograms.

When he arrived at the post office to send it, just as he was filling in the information, he suddenly felt a gust of wind behind him and a figure swaying.

Then, the one behind him seemed to attack him, and he suddenly turned to the left and clamped the other person with a strong hand.

Yu Xiaoyu cried out in pain, and Lin Yu realized it was her and quickly let go.

He was stunned: "Why are you here?"

Yu Xiaoyu pouted: "Why? Only you are allowed to send things, but I am not allowed to come?"

He held the wrist of one hand and blew air into it with his mouth, like a child.

Lin Yu wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to. He had just hurt her and couldn't provoke her again.

He had already mailed it, and then he extended his hand to motion for her to sit down and fill in the shipping information.

She stood awkwardly and didn't sit down. Lin Yu looked around behind her: "Where are your things? Didn't you say you were here to send something?"

It turned out that Yu Xiaoyu didn't bring anything with her.

Yu Xiaoyu snorted and said, I have already sent it, what’s the problem?

Lin Yu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, and Yu Xiaoyu chuckled.

Now that everything has been sent, what are you still doing here?

Yu Xiaoyu watched Lin Yu walk out of the post office and followed him closely without letting up.

Lin Yu looked back, and Yu Xiaoyu stopped. Every time Lin Yu took a step, she also took a step.

"Tell me, why are you following me?"

"It's still early, and there's a coffee shop that just opened over there. I'd like to treat you to a drink?"

Lin Yu looked at the time and it was indeed still early. He wanted to turn it down but couldn't find a good reason.

"OK then."

Lin Yu agreed, and Yu Xiaoyu was so happy that her heart blossomed.

Yu Xiaoyu looked at him silently: "Brother Lin, how do you know so much? You are good at forensics, criminal investigation techniques, and martial arts. This school can't teach so much, right?"

Lin Yu just drank his coffee and stretched slowly: "Where did you learn forensics?"

"School, I was so awesome when I was in school..." Lin Yu successfully changed the subject, while Yu Xiaoyu was talking excitedly about studying forensic medicine.

Lin Yu didn't want to interrupt him, so it was fine this way. The day would be over by the evening.

The coffee kept being added, and Yu Xiaoyu kept talking, from the time she entered the campus to the time she graduated, and she was still talking.

But her cell phone rang. She wanted to say something, but it kept ringing, so she had to answer it.

A female voice: "Yu Xiaoyu, you didn't reply to my messages and didn't listen to my voice messages. What's going on? What are you doing?"

Yu Xiaoyu was embarrassed to explain to Lin Yu: "My best friend."

Lin Yu shrugged and said it didn't matter, do as you please.

Yu Xiaoyu replied with a voice message: "I'm outside?"

"Outside? Alone? Yu Xiaoyu, are you in love?"

"No."

"Let's have dinner together tonight. Come quickly."

Yu Xiaoyu glanced at Lin Yu and wanted to send a voice message, but didn't know what to say.

Lin Yu could see it: "My best friend is looking for you, come back soon, I'm going home soon too."

After saying that, Lin Yu stood up and said goodbye to her. Yu Xiaoyu said "Hey" and wanted to follow him.

But just then a bus came by, Lin Yu jumped onto the bus in two steps, then turned around and gestured goodbye to her.

Yu Xiaoyu was left standing there, looking at him.

In fact, apart from being a little childish sometimes, Yu Xiaoyu is a very good person in other aspects. Lin Yu doesn't hate her, but he just doesn't want to fall in love now.

He wants to become a famous detective as soon as possible!

After returning home, he had some time to check how many points he had, so he opened the points mall of the detective system.

A message suddenly popped up: The major case has been solved, and 2000 points are awarded.

It would be better if there were more. Why was it so hard to solve the case this time?

He kept wondering if there was a way to quickly find the crime scene, and then he continued searching in the mall.

I saw this simulated live reproduction last time, but I didn’t buy it because it was too expensive, but it’s enough this time.

He used all his points to buy a simulated live re-enactment, but he could only re-enact it twice. He thought, enough.

The Zhang Li case was delayed a lot of time because no one knew where the crime scene was.

The moonlight is a little hazy tonight, but the men and women on the street find it quite romantic.

But at this time, an extremely unromantic case occurred in Nanxiao District. There was a village called Longjiao Village, which has always maintained traditional customs.

However, with the development of the times, many customs are no longer suitable for this era, such as bride price.

The bigger the city, the more civilized and developed the place is, the less likely there will be a bride price.

So many young people don’t understand, because as prices rise and housing prices skyrocket, the bride price also rises.

Although it is not as high as in Xu Town, it is at least around 28 yuan, and most families in traditional rural areas here can hardly afford such a large amount of money.

So when children are about to get married, they feel a lot of pressure.

The daughter of a family here is just at the age to fall in love, but the boy said that he couldn't afford so much money. Naturally, the girl was willing to marry and felt that it didn't matter whether there was a bride price or not.

But my family has different ideas. They think this is a long-standing tradition and cannot be changed. So my daughter has argued with her family several times about this matter.
