"I asked someone to check, and he hasn't been to school since the incident. Nobody has seen him!"
"And the fact that you've been buying enough food for one more person to take home these past two days proves that he's in your house!"
Lin Hao frowned deeply. "Girls! This kid is quite cunning, making two young ladies willing to protect him. Don't let a scoundrel ruin your life!"
The girl in front of me lowered her head and shed tears.
Lin Hao had heard that this place was chaotic before, but this time, he witnessed it for himself.
Actually, this matter is not complicated at all. Lin Hao himself was deceived. Once he saw the little toy, he understood everything.
If lying about the timing succeeds, he probably won't even bother to hide it anymore.
Instead, they will create alibis.
They knew Lin Hao was a player, that he had a game that day, and they knew roughly what time he would be back; this was the easiest thing to fabricate.
Later, Lin Hao also learned the whole story from Paul.
A typical case of disguising a crime of passion.
Her roommate was the other woman, but she didn't know it. She went to meet her boyfriend that night, and although they didn't meet, they were practically right next to each other. Anyone with common sense would know what was going on. After some questioning, she found out that the guy was downstairs.
After going down through the window, they found the victim fast asleep. They strangled the victim with a jump rope and then staged a series of elaborate deceptions.
The girl on the third floor was unaware that she herself was also a third party in a relationship. The real person was the one Lin Hao had met. The real person also knew about the existence of the third party, but under her boyfriend's constant manipulation, she had gradually come to accept it.
After the case was solved, a soccer player made the news, saying that Lin Hao helped solve the case, and even gave Lin Hao the nickname "Little Judge Dee"!
Di Renjie is indeed a well-known detective from the East.
This made Lin Hao even more popular. The next day when he went to training, his teammates joked, "I was wondering why the most enthusiastic person in training was late. Did you go solve a case?"
Lin Hao scratched his head. "I mainly wanted to clear my name!"
Two days after the case was solved, it was time for the next round of the Premier League match: Arsenal away against Cardiff City.
In the 11th minute, Xhaka assisted Tafe to score for Arsenal, and Cardiff City equalized in first-half stoppage time.
In the 62nd minute of the second half, Aubameyang scored again, giving Arsenal the lead once more.
But immediately, seventy minutes later, Cardiff City scored again through Dani Walton.
Lin Hao came on as a substitute in the 75th minute.
This time, many fans came specifically to watch Lin Hao's match. Those who watched the live broadcast or were at the stadium in the previous match knew about both Tottenham and Arsenal.
Many people have heard that the genius from the World Cup has become amazing again, so let's take a look.
In addition, Lin Hao's solving of the case attracted many fans who came to watch the spectacle.
People are eager to hear stories of early fame.
Lin Hao did not disappoint. In the 78th minute of the match, after Arsenal failed to break through, the ball was passed to Lin Hao. Lin Hao received the ball, turned his body to the side, controlled the ball with his right foot, suddenly cut inside, stopped abruptly on the outside, and crossed the ball with his left foot.
Lin Hao's explosive aerodynamics are really hard to defend against.
However, the pass was cleared by a player inside the penalty area.
In the 80th minute of the match, a counter-attack opportunity arose. Lin Hao dribbled the ball forward at high speed near the center circle, facing the defensive midfielder Camarasa. After a series of stepovers, he passed the ball to Ramsey, and the two played a one-two.
After getting past Camarasa, Lin Hao received the ball and executed a rainbow flick, which was truly amazing. Many people use the rainbow flick, and Neymar is one of the best, but that's only when he has the ball himself.
Lin Hao received the pass directly and then executed a rainbow flick.
The away fans in the stands also gasped in surprise.
However, Lin Hao's rainbow flick was difficult. He only managed to do it on a whim, and it wasn't always successful. He didn't control his strength well. Although he got past one center-back, by the time Lin Hao reached the ball's position, the other center-back had already arrived and was about to launch a long kick.
Lin Hao gently pulled the ball, and Cardiff City's center-back knew it was all over. He had made the wrong choice; gently pulling the ball would have been faster than kicking it long.
Once he's already charged up, he can only kick it out or forcibly pull it back; either way, it'll be too slow.
Lin Hao immediately executed a Marseille turn, dribbling past the last defender before unleashing a shot that found the back of the net.
"hiss!"
Fans, coaching staff, viewers in front of their TVs, and fans who wanted to see the excitement all gasped in surprise.
"Wow! That's incredible!" This was said by a professional commentator who was live-streaming.
The level of surprise is evident.
Lin Hao scored again in the 80th minute, putting Arsenal ahead once more. This could very well be another game-winning goal.
In the 91st minute of the match, Arsenal won a corner kick. The corner was taken, and two players in the penalty area contested for the ball, which then fell to the ground.
Aubameyang flicked the ball, but it went too high. As it fell, the ball, which should have been in Aubameyang's or the defender's possession, was controlled by Lin Hao, who was standing nearby. The ball seemed glued to Lin Hao's foot as he caught it and then flicked it into the net.
The victory is secured.
Lin Hao ran to the sidelines, smiling and giving Aubameyang a high-five. Aubameyang pointed at Lin Hao and said, "Hey kid, why are you stealing the ball from your teammate?"
Lin Hao scored twice, helping his team defeat their opponents again and take three points.
After the game, Lin Hao signed his jersey for the first time in his life for a little fan who was holding it. She was a cute little girl with blonde hair and blue eyes.
I'm so happy!
There are fans now. Although at this stage, most fans are probably just following the trend, some of them may stay and become loyal fans.
The key point is that Lin Hao can also get a share of the money from buying jerseys based on the hype, which is the most important thing, because Lin Hao is indeed poor right now.
In terms of player popularity, Lin Hao's two matches have propelled him to the top of the list, ranking only behind Messi, Ronaldo, and Mbappe.
But such players are not exactly rare; they appear every year.
Form is a very unpredictable thing. Many players are very good, but when they are in good form, they can be amazing for one season, and then their form will be ruined in the second season.
If someone can consistently perform exceptionally well, they're called a superstar. If they suddenly show some impressive skill, they're called a star player. In fact, apart from superstars, all other players from top teams in the five major leagues, or even anyone who has played for a team, can be considered star players.
Many professional media outlets also invited experts to do a special program to talk about what happened in the competition this week, including analysis of Lin Hao's sudden rise and whether he was just a flash in the pan or could continue to be strong.
