Chapter 57: Chapter 51 Completion of Task Chapter 57: Chapter 51 Completion of Task Jiang Ning pulled out her phone from her pocket and called Zhang Lang, “Hello, Officer Zhang, are you on duty today?”
“Yes, I’m on duty, what’s up?” Zhang Lang was clearly a bit puzzled by the sudden call from Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning smiled, “It’s good you’re on duty. Can you come over to Jinsha Bay Game City near Pinghu University? I’ve caught a fraudster in the underground parking lot here, and I need your assistance to pick him up.”
Zhang Lang couldn’t help but tease, “How do you always run into this kind of situation? Are you all right?”
“I’m fine,” urged Jiang Ning, “Hurry over. I just knocked him unconscious, and I’m waiting for you here in the underground parking lot.”
Zhang Lang said, “I’m leaving right now; be careful.”
After ending the call with Zhang Lang, the phone in Lou Yuquan’s pocket rang instead.
Jiang Ning squatted down, took out the phone from Lou Yuquan’s pocket, and saw that it was a call from someone saved as “Li Xiaoxiao.”
From the name alone, Jiang Ning guessed it was a girl—the one who was just playing the claw machine with Lou Yuquan at Game City.
Lou Yuquan had told her he was going to the restroom, and since so much time had passed, it was unclear if the caller was her or not.
But regardless of who it was, Jiang Ning did not plan to answer. She set Lou Yuquan’s phone to silent mode and ignored the call.
Even though the phone was locked with a password, Jiang Ning noticed it could be unlocked with a fingerprint. She ‘borrowed’ Lou Yuquan’s finger for a moment and successfully unlocked the phone’s screen.
Tampering with Lou Yuquan’s phone this way was truly an invasion of someone’s privacy. Had she not known from the “System” just what kind of scum Lou Yuquan was, Jiang Ning would have never flipped through his phone on her own initiative.
But without evidence at hand, this was the quickest and most effective method for her.
The social media apps young people used for contact were after all, just a few.
Jiang Ning first clicked on Lou Yuquan’s WeChat and scrolled through his recent chat history.
A few swipes and Jiang Ning discovered the secrets harbored within Lou Yuquan’s phone.
Y Bai Nian 1993.3.20. Nurse, C-cup, nude photos 860,000, Green East Road No. 206…
Y Qu Chunrou 1998.9.18 Dance teacher, gentle and virtuous, wealthy, Pengjing Bay villa area…
Y Li Xiaoxiao 2000.5.12 University student, lively and cute otaku, only child, Haoting complex Block B…
At a glance, Jiang Ning noticed three unusually noted contacts in the chat box list.
With a flick of her finger, she scrolled to WeChat’s contact list and found the Y letter section. Sure enough, the dozen or so contacts in this list all started with the letter and were followed by name, birth date, occupation, personal traits, family address, and other remarks.
Jiang Ning counted and found, neither more nor less, exactly sixteen contacts in this list.
Among these sixteen contacts, ten had remarks involving monetary amounts, with the lesser amounts being several tens of thousands and the highest reaching over two million.
The ten girls whose remarks included monetary amounts had either “nude photos” or “videos” mentioned before the figures.
Jiang Ning was no fool; the way Lou Yuquan noted these was too obvious to misunderstand.
Beyond this list, Jiang Ning also came across another list that began with the letter Z.
Z Pending. Lv Lanze 1999 (20 years old), luxury car rides to and from school
Z list. Mi Yanyan, 1995.7.16, a junior at Pinghu University
Z list. Fang Heling, 23 years old, drives an Audi, her family owns a mine, has an older brother
…
This list had more people, but the notes weren’t as detailed as those starting with the letter Y. Jiang Ning flipped through it for a moment, then opened Lou Yuquan’s photo album on his phone and indeed found some private photos and videos of girls.
Jiang Ning didn’t look at them closely, but she could guess the contents just from the names of the photo album categories.
Looking at Lou Yuquan lying unconscious on the ground, Jiang Ning stood up and stomped on his face.
While Jiang Ning was reviewing the evidence, Li Xiaoxiao called her several times in a row, but Jiang Ning did not answer.
It seemed that Li Xiaoxiao got angry and stopped calling, and Jiang Ning’s phone finally went silent.
Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou waited in the underground parking lot for about ten minutes when Jiang Ning suddenly heard the sound of a car driving in.
At the same time, the mobile phone which she had been holding in her hand also rang.
After answering the call, Zhang Lang asked from the other side of the phone, “Where are you? I’ve arrived.”
Jiang Ning looked up, scanning her surroundings, “I think I hear some noise. I’m at the very back, drive in.”
“Okay,” Zhang Lang responded and continued driving forward.
The lighting in the underground parking garage was very dim, and as Zhang Lang turned on the headlights, Jiang Ning saw a black sedan appear from around the corner and walked out of the shadows with Qi Xingzhou.
Zhang Lang parked the car next to Jiang Ning and got out of the vehicle.
When Zhang Lang saw Qi Xingzhou standing beside Jiang Ning, his gaze fleetingly swept over Qi Xingzhou.
Zhang Lang had not come alone; after he got out of the car, another police officer who had been sitting in the passenger seat also got out.
Jiang Ning glanced over and silently noted her good fortune that Zhang Lang’s colleague was a female officer!
“The person is there.” Jiang Ning pointed towards the corner where Lou Yuquan was lying on the ground, and when Zhang Lang followed her direction, he realized there was indeed someone lying in that dark corner.
Zhang Lang touched his nose with an awkward gesture, feeling foolish for having thought that the one tied up next to Jiang Ning was…
Fortunately, the dim light in the underground parking garage meant that Jiang Ning did not notice Zhang Lang’s fleeting gaze earlier and did not catch the awkward expression on his face now.
As Zhang Lang approached to gift Lou Yuquan a silver bracelet, Jiang Ning held back the female officer who wanted to help, took out Lou Yuquan’s mobile phone, and showed it to her.
After unlocking Lou Yuquan’s phone with his fingerprint, Jiang Ning had been careful to keep it from locking. When the female officer’s gaze landed on the phone screen, Jiang Ning repeated her earlier action, opening Lou Yuquan’s WeChat contact list and the contents of his photo album for her to see.
Once the female officer saw what was on the phone, her expression changed as she was even more sensitive to such conduct than Jiang Ning. She took the phone seriously, “Whose phone is this?”
“His.” Jiang Ning pointed to Lou Yuquan and didn’t forget to remind her, “His phone is password-protected, make sure it doesn’t lock itself, or you’ll need his fingerprint to unlock it.”
The female officer, upon hearing Jiang Ning’s words, turned to give Jiang Ning a meaningful look, “Thanks for the tip. I’ll make a copy of these files shortly and will contact the victims listed here in good time.”
Jiang Ning nodded calmly, unashamed of her actions in using Lou Yuquan’s finger to unlock his phone screen.
