Not long after Lin Xiao left, a male officer approached and said, "Xiaoyue, did that Mr. Lin just leave?"
The female officer looked puzzled. "Mr. Lin? Which Mr. Lin?"
"You know, Lin Xiao—the guy who provided the dashcam footage."
"Oh, yeah, he just left. Why? Do you need something from him?"
"Not really, just curious." The male officer gave a mysterious smile. "Do you know who Mr. Lin really is?"
"Who?"
"The Treasure-Hunting King!"
"Huh?"
"You haven't seen the news lately?" the male officer asked. "Yesterday, at the Confucius Temple antique market, he spent 30,000 yuan and uncovered two genuine relics—sold them for 60 million!"
Xiaoyue's eyes widened. "Seriously?!"
"Absolutely! This guy's skill in spotting hidden gems is top-notch. Never thought I'd run into him at the station."
He laughed and added, "Come to think of it, today's second-hand car also turned out to be a treasure. Who would've thought the dashcam recorded a body being dumped? He made 1.1 million yuan off a 300,000-yuan car! Truly the King of Hidden Treasures!"
"Whew~"
"Now I can finally go buy another car."
Thinking back on the morning's events made Lin Xiao wince. Buying a used car and stumbling into something like that?
But he knew—it was all thanks to the system.
Without the system's appraisal, he might not have picked that car. And even if he did, he wouldn't have thought to check the dashcam footage.
So what seemed like a low-probability event was actually inevitable, given his system.
He flagged down a taxi and returned to the used car market.
As soon as he got out, he resumed his livestream.
The moment he went live, the chat exploded with even more enthusiasm than before.
"Boss Lin is out!"
"Hahaha, Boss Lin had a rough day today!"
"Boss Lin, how was the tea at the police station?"
Lin Xiao ignored the jokes and headed to the dealership.
The car dealer spotted him and was surprised. "You're back already?"
Lin Xiao: "…"
What kind of greeting is that? It's not like I committed a crime!
Realizing his mistake, the dealer gave an awkward smile. "The temporary plates are ready. You can take the car anytime."
Then he asked curiously, "So it really was a murder?"
"Yeah."
"Did they catch the killer?"
"They did."
"That's good. But the dashcam—it's probably being used as evidence, right?"
"Yeah."
"Tsk. What a shame—it cost three grand."
Trying to be helpful, the dealer said, "Well, no worries. They'll return it once they're done with it. You can still use it later."
Lin Xiao replied, "Let them keep it. That footage is worth a million, after all."
The dealer froze. "A million?"
Lin Xiao calmly added, "The Ministry of Public Security had a 100,000 yuan reward on the case."
"Holy sh*t!"
The dealer looked stunned. "100k?!"
"And the victim's family offered another million. Total reward: 1.1 million."
"Holy sh*t!"
The dealer clutched his chest. He was stunned.
A dashcam—worth over a million?!
Why didn't I notice?!
Over a million in reward money—snatched right in front of him!
Damn it!
The viewers were equally shocked.
"What the hell—buying a car and earning money?!"
"Why can't I ever catch a break like this?"
"Prayers for the dealer's emotional damage."
"Does this count as a hidden treasure?"
"Of course it does! Boss Lin is now officially the King of Hidden Treasures. He profits even from second-hand cars!"
Lin Xiao didn't say much more. He looked at the camera and said, "Hang on a bit, I'm going to contact HuSha official support to set up the giveaway."
"The giveaway is finally happening!"
"Here we go!"
"Been waiting forever!"
Hearing the word "giveaway" got everyone hyped.
Lin Xiao got in touch with Wang Ling and explained the situation. Wang Ling quickly provided a giveaway plan.
Satisfied with the setup, Lin Xiao announced to his viewers: "In a moment, a red envelope will appear in the livestream. It will contain a single winner. Whoever grabs it, gets the Q5. Countdown begins—10 seconds."
"10, 9, 8…"
"1!"
As the countdown ended, a red envelope popped up—and was instantly claimed.
"Ahhh! My Q5 is gone!"
"Who the hell snatched it?! Show yourself!"
Viewers wailed in the chat.
Lin Xiao opened the winner's info and announced, "Congratulations to user [JunTian] for winning the Q5. Would you prefer to pick it up in person, or should I ship it to you?"
[JunTian]: Hahaha! I got it! I really got it!
After a moment of excitement, [JunTian] added: "No need to trouble you, Boss Lin. I live in Guangling, really close. Just leave the keys with the dealer, I'll pick it up after work today."
"Alright, send me your personal details and I'll let the dealer know."
Once he got the info, Lin Xiao looked over at the dealer—who was still in a daze, mumbling "1.1 million" under his breath.
"Boss… boss…"
"Huh? What?"
"Just leave the car here. My fan will come by to pick it up later."
"Oh… okay, give me his name and ID number."
"Sure."
Lin Xiao handed over the details and left the dealership.
