Siheyuan: Bai Ling Overhears My Thoughts

Dongzhimen Police Station.

Bai Ling: “Look at the other public security team members. They go out on patrol and manage to catch a few kids stealing chickens to eat.”

Lin Chen mutters inwardly:

“I not only know that the three of them stole Xu Damao's chicken, but also that He Yuzhu will take the blame for them because he stole a public chicken and can't explain himself. I even know Xu Damao got the chicken as a bribe while screening films in the countryside.”

Bai Ling: “Lin Chen, what did you just say?”

Lin Chen: “Captain Bai, I didn't say anything.”

Bai Ling (inner monologue): “Could I be hearing Lin Chen's thoughts?”

Bai Ling: “Come on. You're coming with me to the courtyard.”

After that, both He Yuzhu and Xu Damao got into trouble.

Lin Chen sees Third Uncle Yan Bugui tending his flowers.

So he mutters inwardly:

“Third Uncle has stolen flowers from the primary school again.”

Bai Ling hears this and thinks to herself:

“A teacher stealing flowers? We have to arrest him.”

Lin Chen sees the Red Star Steel Mill's deputy director looking quite respectable.

He mutters inwardly:

“The deputy director looks dignified, but behind everyone's back, he's involved with Liu Lan from the kitchen.”

Bai Ling: “... Arrest him!”
