Bai Yingying pouted upon hearing these two people’s words. She was obviously angry.
She and Madam Bai both were tragic victims of the “Son Preference” ideology. Oppression and discrimination against women were very important components of old-fashioned ethics.
The down payment for the son’s marriage was not enough, she had to use her daughter’s life-saving money to make up for it! They were all her children. A bowl of water couldn’t be completely even. This was human nature. However, it was completely dysfunctional for a family to sacrifice their daughter like this.
The down payment was still a little short after adding in the surgery fees from the donations. They continued to use their daughter’s name to collect donations.
“Boss, what should we do?” Bai Yingying looked at her boss.
She knew that her boss had always been iron-like… No, that wasn’t right. He was a good man who was diligent and thrifty! If the patient’s name was not so similar to his, the boss would not be compassionate.
Most people were kind-hearted but nothing was relative. It was normal for people to be evil by nature. However, most people felt the need to do good to obtain self-satisfaction.
However, the deception that came with it was the most unbearable.
“Kill…”
Zhou Ze suddenly raised his head, “What… What about Zi…”
He wanted to call Zhang Yanfeng and ask him to take these people away. He wanted to charge them with fraud.
When Zhou Ze had said the first word, Lawyer An’s eyebrows raised.
Although Zhou Ze quickly changed his words and those around him didn’t notice anything, Lawyer An did. A murderous intent had flashed across Zhou Ze’s body at that point!
He wanted to kill these two people!
Although Zhou Ze managed to control his reaction in time, Lawyer An still felt a little apprehensive. He knew exactly what kind of a person Zhou Ze was.
He couldn’t wait to be like a Night Watchman, knocking on the door every day. The weather is dry, be careful of the fire, and let muddle-headed days pass by.
Could it be that he had just entered this state and was affected by the one in his body?
“Yes, boss.”
Bai Yingying took out her phone and called Zhang Yanfeng. These two people were under her watch until Zhang Yanfeng arrived.
‘They dare to cheat my boss out of his money…’
‘Cheating my boss out of his money is cheating me of my money!’
Lawyer An made a joke to ease the atmosphere and said, “That’s why there’s a saying in the market that it’s best not to marry a wife with a younger brother.”
“Some families will brainwash their daughters like Voldemort.”
“Hehehehe.”
Zhou Ze looked at Lawyer An and asked, “Is it funny?”
“It’s not funny. Hehe.”
…
“Phew…”
Space was a little tight in the study and so the rooms had to be shared. So, Zhang Yanfeng rented a house. It was also not very appropriate to always run into the study with his identity.
The dormitory building of the police station was not very convenient for Zhang Yanfeng, so he chose to rent out by himself. Of course, from time to time, he would run back to the study to stay for a night. It could be considered to brush up on his political stance.
That night, Old Zhang did not sleep the whole night. However, he did not meditate. Instead, he had been working at his desk.
As the weakest among the Ghost Guards, he would not be specifically called out for many things. Instead, he would need to take care of his daily life.
Old Zhang remembered that Lawyer An had told him a while ago that he would help to plan his promotion when his boss became a constable.
Old Zhang was a police officer. He could feel that Lawyer An’s attitude toward him was that of a failed investment.
Of course, Old Zhang would not feel sorry for himself.
However, Old Zhang was in a lot of pain these days. On one hand, he had to help the bookstore with the plan to save the Old Priest. On the other hand, he had to use the power of the Municipal Bureau to start investigating this serial murder case again after he was isolated by the Special Task Force.
He felt a little schizophrenic for doing contradictory things.
He had no choice but to agree to a ridiculous thing like a prison break. It was not because of his identity as a Ghost Messenger. It was because he knew in his heart that the Old Priest was innocent.
However, his professional ethics were very strong. It made it very awkward for him to do such a thing.
Perhaps, breaking out of prison was not that difficult for the other people in the bookstore. It was not within the scope of everyone’s consideration Whether the Old Priest’s life would be convenient or not.
Old Zhang wanted to find other ways to help the Old Priest get off!
Even though he already knew the truth of the matter, he still had to find a normal way to solve the problem. It was like a very profound math problem. You already knew the answer, but the process of solving the problem was completely beyond the syllabus. It was to such an extent that even the teacher would have a dumbfounded look on his face. Due to this, you still had to use the original method to reverse-deduce the answer.
Zhang Yanfeng returned to the police station after washing his face. When he passed by the police station’s entrance, he was stunned. There was a huge pit. It made people’s eyelids twitch.
There were quite a number of people surrounding the perimeter. When did this pit appear? How did it appear? No one knew. The surveillance cameras did not capture anything.
However, Zhang Yanfeng already had a vague feeling in his heart. He didn’t call the study to confirm but went straight into his office.
A young police officer pushed the door open and entered his office not long after he sat down. He was holding a cell phone in his hand and excitedly exclaimed to Zhang Yanfeng, “Boss, we found it. We found it!”
“Which body?” Old Zhang asked.
“F’s identity has been found. I have been investigating the missing migrant workers in those areas for the past two years as you said. Finally, I found them.”
“No wonder we couldn’t find a match from the police’s missing files. The unnamed body with serial number F was a worker who had migrated from her hometown to Tongcheng.”
“She had lost contact with her family for more than two years, but her family didn’t go to the local police station to report her as missing. This was because she was married and her husband had died in an accident. Her family left two children with her in-laws. Her mother’s family and her husband’s family thought that she went missing on purpose to start a new life, so they didn’t call the police.”
“I was visiting a mobile phone hardware factory near the location you gave me. I got a tip that a female worker didn’t collect her one month’s salary and bonus two years ago.”
“However, the local enterprises didn’t call the police because they had a lot of people joining and leaving without saying goodbye.
“The DNA results I collected proves that the deceased of John F is this woman named Xia Chunhua.”
Zhang Yanfeng stood up in excitement, “Come, let’s go together.”
“…”
The police car was driving at a high speed. The young police officer seated next to him was named Xiao Cao. He said with some lingering fear, “Boss, it feels really scary. A person had disappeared and died, but no one could find her. The most important fact was, she was not alone without any relatives or friends. She had children, a family, and colleagues.”
“Little Cao, just get used to it,” Old Zhang explained. “In this world and society, there are grievances happening every day. How many people died of murder but were treated as natural deaths? How many people died but no one cared?’
“As police officers, we can only do what we can to help the victims get justice by investigating the cases that have surfaced. As for…”
Old Zhang did not say anything else.
The police car stopped in front of a cheap apartment building. It was located near the industrial park. It was rented out to workers who worked nearby.
“Xia Chunhua lived here before going missing two years ago. I’ve investigated everything,” said Little Cao.
Little Cao was a person with strong business skills, but his ability to deal with people was relatively poor. His ability to deal with things was often compromised by his ability to deal with people regardless of whether it was at home or abroad or in different unit posts.
Although Old Zhang was only recently appointed Captain of the Criminal Police, he had long been able to use this young man’s strong criminal investigation skills.
Xiao Cao tried to contact the landlord, while Old Zhang knocked on the door.
There was someone inside. A young woman. She let Old Zhang walk in after he showed his police officer ID.
This was a small apartment with a one-unit layout. However, the interior was divided. There should be about six people living here based on the sleeping mats on the floor. It was very crowded.
It must be very hard to work outside. Many people in poor areas would rather stay at home basking in the sun and live on relief money.
There was a bathroom and a kitchen. Old Zhang opened the door of the bathroom and walked in to take a look. There was a toilet and a shower in the bathroom. There was a stinky smell and there were bloody sanitary pads in the trash can.
“Officer, are you here to chase people away?” The woman asked worriedly.
“Chase people away?” Old Zhang was a little confused.
“Yes, I have a sister who works in Beijing. She came back a while ago and said that many of the rental apartments there are no longer available. They want to eliminate the low-end ones…”
“Oh, that’s not true. Don’t worry.”
The woman heard this and heaved a long sigh of relief.
Old Zhang took a look around. He was actually waiting for the landlord to come over. He needed to ask the landlord about Xia Chunhua and what happened to her belongings after she disappeared.”
However, Old Zhang’s eyes caught something as he was casually looking around. It wasn’t that he had some special ghost detection ability. It was due to the sharp instincts of an old police officer.
Old Zhang reached out and dug at the railing above the bathroom where clothes were hung. He dug out a very small metal lump from the gap in the middle.
“What is this?” The woman asked nervously. She thought that there was someone among the tenants who hid something unclean.
“Oh, ask your landlord. This is a camera for secretly taking pictures. There’s also a USB port here.”
