Chapter 590: A Special Woman

The other party was a detective whom he had sent overseas to gather information.

His name is Fan Zhiguo. He was also a member of Serious Crime Division One and was a very experienced detective.

“Captain Bai, here is the information I gathered. Wei Gang’s ex-wife had migrated overseas with their son more than 10 years ago. They never returned and did not have any contact with Wei Gang nor any of their friends and relatives. There was practically nothing from them…”

Wei Gang was An Ying’s real name.

According to the relatives of the ex-wife, back then when Wei Gang was a teacher in that special school, he did not command a high salary and the three of them lived on a tight budget. After Wei Gang was arrested for statutory rape and went to jail, his ex-wife felt too ashamed. She filed for a divorce and went to work overseas…

Another year later, she decided to stay there.

As to what happened during that period of one year, no one knew.

Nonetheless, the relatives felt that life would be tough for Wei Gang’s ex-wife, not to mention she still had a son to care for…

Therefore, the story that circulated amongst the relatives and friends was that the ex-wife married a foreigner and stayed overseas…

Fan Zhiguo: “It’s not easy to verify such information as many years have passed.”

Bai Muchuan deliberated for a moment. “I understand. You may come back.”

Fan Zhiguo: “Alright.”

After ending the call, Bai Muchuan held his face with both hands and lowered his head.

In this ‘zombie’ case, as well as Operation Heaven’s Wrath, An Ying was the leader that planned and pushed for all these. There was no doubt that he was being funded and supported by some foreign forces.

An Ying also admitted that after he was released from prison, he was desperate and felt hopeless. It was Cui Ming who helped him out so that he would be able to survive in this world. After Cui Ming died, he couldn’t take it lying down and wanted to seek revenge for him. In addition, he also wanted to take revenge on society. The goal of Operation Heaven’s Wrath was vengeance and punishment.

An Ying did not show any signs of remorse while in the detention center.

What he regretted, was the fact that he had failed to execute Operation Heaven’s Wrath.

Strictly speaking, the case was clear cut and the evidence to convict An Ying was indisputable and adequate.

When Bai Muchuan reported all that to his superiors, they were pleased and told him that he could proceed to close the case after the aftermath had been dealt with.

It was just that, there was something that he felt…

He had doubts and he couldn’t let it go like this.

The reason why he brought Xiang Wan back to the office was also because he wanted to see how she felt about this case.

There was also another reason… which was that he wanted to find some support.

Even if everyone thought that the case was clear and could be closed, he still wanted to hear some different opinions.

So he waited for about two hours.

It was 11 o’clock at night two hours later, Xiang Wan sent him a message.

“Sir Little Bai, are you free?”

Bai Muchuan looked at the message on his laptop screen and unconsciously, he smiled.

“I’m waiting for you.”

“As time is pressing, I wanted to tell you what I think about this case first?”

“Sure!” Bai Muchuan sat upright in his seat. “You want me to come over to your office?”

“There’s no need to. Let’s just message. I can also think about what I want to say as I type.”

“… You don’t want to see me.” Someone tried to act cute.

“Be serious.” Xiang Wan sent a smiling emoji over before she started to tell him her views.

“Wei Gang, also known as An Ying, his motive for wanting to commit all these crimes match his psychological state of mind. Back then he was jailed for statutory rape and he always felt that he had been accused. That case caused his wife to take their son with her and left. It is only normal that he would have thought to seek revenge on society. From the start, it was pretty clear that An Ying was the one issuing all the commands to his men. He was indeed the one leading Operation Heaven’s Wrath.”

Bai Muchuan: “Yes. Is there more?”

Xiang Wan: “There’s something that I don’t quite understand. When Cui Ming was around, although the Dark Clan was engaged in illegal business, they were never involved with the foreign forces. Cui Ming himself disliked doing such a thing as well… After Cui Ming’s death, just how did An Ying connect with the foreign triads in such a short time and even get financed by them? An Ying also quickly formulated the terrible Operation Heaven’s Wrath… Don’t you find it strange?”

Bai Muchuan: “You’re saying that someone could have acted as the go-between?”

Xiang Wan smiled as she typed. “Yes. Generally speaking, the Dark Clan and the foreign parties involved would need time to build up trust between them for such a big operation. After all, the amount of money involved was not a small amount. No matter what, the first thing An Ying would need would be money… There must be someone who could help both parties strike a deal in a short time…”

After a pause, she sent another message. “This person, in my opinion, is the most important person in this case.”

As Bai Muchuan looked at the screen, his face was now completely relaxed. “Why do you say that?”

Xiang Wan: “It’s simple. If this person is around, even though we cracked down on the Dark Clan and arrested An Ying, it wouldn’t stop them from doing evil… This person could still continue to seek out other targets. Who knows if the next target would be somebody more influential than An Ying?”

Aye!

Bai Muchuan heaved a sigh of relief.

“My Little Xiang Wan, you’re indeed my confidante.”

Xiang Wan was somewhat surprised. “You think the same way as me?”

“Yup.”

“So why do you… ?”

“I want to know that I’m not the only one who thinks this way.”

“… Alright, I accept this reason.”

Xiang Wan suddenly thought of something and typed another message. “In addition, I also found something.”

The corners of Bai Muchuan’s lips lifted upwards as he typed. “Go ahead.”

Xiang Wan: “I feel that this case, the part where Xie Wanwan’s well-known fans are involved in, there’s a distinct feature…”

Bai Muchuan: “What is it?”

Xiang Wan gave it a thought. “From how the public reacted after the case and how the netizens attacked her online, it is evident that someone had deliberately pinned the blame on her… Let’s put it this way. No matter where the ‘zombie’ case took place, it would have the same effect. But the other party had chosen the cinema at the start—that meant they had targeted the movie ‘Before Doomsday’. In the beginning, it could be read as an attempt to make use of the movie so as to create a sensation that people would feel fear. Consequently, that caused the movie to get banned. Also, the netizens targeted only Xie Wanwan to blame for the case – that doesn’t seem right.”

Bai Muchuan shook his chair and didn’t reply for quite a while.

“Hello?” Xiang Wan was typing at the other end. “What happened? Am I wrong about this?”

Bai Muchuan smiled. “You’re right.”

“Then why didn’t you reply earlier?”

“I was thinking, why aren’t you jealous even a little bit?”

“…” Xiang Wan was speechless for an instant.

“Sir Little Bai…”

“No, Xiang Wan. I really think that you’re a special woman.” Bai Muchuan smiled as he began dishing out compliments to his girlfriend. “Under normal circumstances, a woman in your position wouldn’t even say anything of fairness, let alone put in a good word for Xie Wanwan. This is the nature of women. But you actually jumped out of it.”

“So?” Xiang Wan felt amused and sent an emoji that had an arrogant smirk. “Did you fall in love with me all over again?”

“No.”

“…”

“It should be—My love for you is deeper now.”

“Cough, cough! Let’s continue.” Xiang Wan’s expression was even more serious than Bai Muchuan. “I’ve ran through the dossiers and basically, you can close this case already. What do you intend to do next?”

Bai Muchuan didn’t answer her directly.

After mulling it over for a while, he decided to ask Xiang Wan a question.

“Are you interested in accompanying me to visit An Ying?”
