Even After My Death

Chapter 26: Chapter 24 The Fourth Task Chapter 26: Chapter 24 The Fourth Task The next morning, Jiang Ning,

dressed casually and wearing a black mask and a duckbill cap, left the house with a backpack.

She had looked up tax information related to Chu Yiyi’s personal stuon the computer for a long time

yesterday and vaguely found a clue.

However, such highly private matters were not easily accessible, so Jiang Ning was not in a hurry.

Seeing that her remaining life days were about to drop back into the single digits, Jiang Ning searched through

the System interface and took on another task.

Criminal portrait: [Picture.jpg]

Criminal name: He Hui

Criminal age: 47 years old

Criminal offense: From the year 1991-2019, trafficked a total of 127 children]

Criminal hideout: 109 Fuhua Road

[Within three days, task reward: 12 days, Merit Points +200]

This was the first tJiang Ning felt angry at a criminal through the screen.

As a woman herself, she should know better; the birth of each child is a great expectation and joy for a family.

Every child is a treasure in their parents’ eyes.

He Hui, 47 years old this year, has been professionally trafficking children for 28 years, with as many as 127

children trafficked!

That is to say, at least 127 families were shattered due to her selfish desires.

And the first tshe trafficked a child, she was not even twenty years old—utterly abominable!

Jiang Ning pursed her lips and left the house with a cold expression in her eyes.

Fuhua Road is in another district of Capital City, quite far from Jiang Ning; even by car, it would take more than

two hours.

Jiang Ning took a ride to the subway station, contemplating that maybe she should buy a car for easier

transportation.

Just as Jiang Ning was entering the subway station, her phone suddenly rang in her pocket.

Although the number was unfamiliar, seeing the familiar 152 prefix, Jiang Ning vaguely knew who it was.

As soon as she answered the call, Zhang Lang's clear voice cthrough the phone, “Miss Jiang, good

morning.”

Jiang Ning responded, “Good morning, Officer Zhang.”

Zhang Lang hadn't felt anything when he initiated the greeting, but after Jiang Ning replied in the sformal

manner, Zhang Lang felt the conversation was a bit stiff.

Zhang Lang coughed slightly, “Sorry for disturbing you so early. Have you had breakfast?”

“It’s not a disturbance,” Jiang Ning, standing at the entrance to the subway station, her gaze falling on the

passing crowd, said, “I've already eaten. If you have something to say, Officer Zhang, please go ahead.”

“It's like this, Mr. Liu and his wife Ms. He, the owners of the Little Goldfish, have already arrived at the police

station. They're extremely grateful that you were able to find and capture He Mingxu, averting their financial

loss.”

“They especially want to meet you face to face and have even brought an honor banner they made overnight to

thank you in person.”

Saying this, Zhang Lang paused for a moment, moved to the side, and in a lowered voice said to Jiang Ning,

“Since you said yesterday that you wouldn't make an appearance, I've politely declined on your behalf. But they

are very emotional and still particularly want to meet with you.”

Another reason Zhang Lang didn’t mention was because the case was highly publicized nationally at the time

and was considered one of the cases with the highest amount of stolen money in history.

After the suspect was arrested, not only did it spark widespread attention among netizens online, but even the

leadership within the bureau was very concerned. According to colleagues, Jiang Ning had caught two criminals

within two days, and it seems that the higher-ups were planning to hold an award ceremony for Jiang Ning after

the approval of the title for her act of bravery and righteousness.

Jiang Ning had guessed that Zhang Lang was calling her about this matter and responded, “Please convey my

thanks; | appreciate their kind gestures. But | am currently at the entrance of Tianlong Subway Station. | have

other plans today that | can’t postpone.”

Zhang Lang felt somewhat disappointed, yet it was somewhat expected, “Hmm, | understand. I'll pass the

message for you.”

He didn’t inquire about Jiang Ning’s destination at the subway station, as it was Jiang Ning’s privacy, but before

hanging up the phone, Zhang Lang wished her well, “I wish Miss Jiang a smooth journey.”

Jiang Ning paused for a moment, “Okay, thank you.”

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ning looked at Zhang Lang's number, thought for a while, and then raised her

hand to save it.

Although this tit was to catch a criminal in another area, there would likely be many more occasions to

contact Zhang Lang in the future.

Epilogue:

After He Mingxu was arrested, he confessed without reservation to the crimes he had committed.

Following He Mingxu’s arrest, all of his properties were frozen.

The sixteen Little Goldfish that he had hoarded were kept so secret that even his wife had no clue about them.

Moreover, after finding out that He Mingxu was a thief, the residents of Happiness Road ostracized not only him

but also his wife and son, constantly lodging complaints to the property management, demanding that He

Mingxu’s wife and son move out of the Happiness Community promptly.

Furious, He Mingxu’s wife stormed into the police station the sday, proclaiming her intention to divorce He

Mingxu!

He Mingxu’s son did not even show his face once.

He Mingxu had considered the possibility of becoming the target of public condemnation if his actions were ever

exposed, but he never expected his wife and son to abandon him so quickly.

Looking at his wife who showed a look of disgust, He Mingxu sneered repeatedly, “You want a divorce? It won't

be that easy!”

Then, He Mingxu voluntarily admitted to the other thefts he had committed years before.

Because in these numerous thefts, his wife had been an accomplice, a co-conspirator.

The couple, young when married, had lived together for many years and knew many secrets about each other.
