Dark Light Chaser

Chapter 120 Complaints
Why did Ai Liang come out with Jin Ping'an?

Because he knew very well Jin Ping'an's current mental state, if he didn't go out, Jin Ping'an would definitely keep guarding the door.

When I first became a hermit, my thoughts were similar to his.

Why don't the police take action when they know those people are engaged in illegal activities?
Why, despite having information about the human trafficking gang, did you not arrest them and save those suffering children?
Why do some clubs openly engage in the sex industry without anyone intervening to regulate them?

Jin Ping'an's current state is like that of a college student who has just graduated from university and entered society in his previous life.

Stepping out of the school gates, they discovered that society was completely different from what they had imagined, and in many ways, it contradicted the moral education they had received.

From childhood to adulthood, teachers and parents have always told us to be good people, but when we enter society, we sadly discover that there is no room for good people to survive here.

In this world of intrigue and deceit, if you're kind, you deserve to be bullied.

Faced with the pressures of reality, many people become manic, cynical, and use various methods to vent their depression and resentment.

"……Feel sorry."

After hearing Ai Liang's cold remarks, Jin Ping'an felt as if he had been doused with ice water, and his originally excited emotions slowly died down.

Jin Pingan took another beer: "Judging from the rental information, are you coming to Qianhua alone?"

"So what?"

Ai Liang crossed her arms and quietly watched Jin Ping'an chug down one glass of wine after another.

He had only been sitting down for a short while when he had already downed half a pitcher of beer.

"The police investigated the phones of the four robbers, and the technical department recovered some of the plans on the phones. It turns out that these people did not actually come from the same faction, and one of them wanted me dead."

Generally speaking, if a teenager about to enter high school learns that there is a group of ruthless desperados who want to kill him, he would be in serious trouble.

And with the other party already having taken action once, who wouldn't be hiding in their room trembling with fear, too afraid to go out?

When Jin Ping'an said that the other party wanted his life, he did not show any excessive fear.

This made Ai Liang think more highly of him.

After drinking three large cups in a row, Jin Ping'an took an envelope out of his bag, placed it on the table, and pushed it toward Ai Liang.

"To be honest, I rely on takeout and cleaning services for my meals and housekeeping. I don't know how to repay your kindness, so I can only use this rather mundane way."

The envelope was not sealed, and a stack of gold thousand-yuan bills could be seen through the opening.

Ai Liang estimated the thickness of the stack of money to be around 20,000 yuan, which was undoubtedly a huge sum of money for a teenager.

1,000 NT dollars are not common; in most cases, 100 NT dollars are the mainstream, and some small shops will not even accept 1,000 NT dollars.

Thousand-yuan banknotes are mostly used when paying bills at large hotels or making purchases at luxury stores.

"No need, I don't need the money."

Ai Liang pushed the envelope back: "If you really want to repay my kindness, the best way to repay me is to stop bothering me in the future."

Ai Liang spoke without holding back, her words implying that Jin Ping'an should stay away from her and not cause her any trouble.

Jin Ping'an wasn't an idiot who couldn't understand human speech, but he didn't put the money away.

"Those people have their eyes on you."

Jin Pingan lowered his head, not daring to meet Ai Liang's gaze.

"What do you mean?"

Ai Liang's face immediately darkened, and she asked in an unfriendly tone.

"According to the information provided by the informant, because you ruined their plan, the group that kidnapped me also holds a grudge against you."

Jin Pingan repeated it quietly.

The police are not in a position to give a substantive response to these threatening rumors.

Even if the person who spread the rumors is found, without substantial evidence, there's nothing that can be done to them; at most, they can be detained for two days and given a verbal warning.

Similarly, the police cannot focus their attention on those who are threatened at all times.

Ai Liang wanted to question Jin Ping'an about what had happened, but he understood before he even opened his mouth.

So, before the question even came out, he changed his question: "Are there corrupt cops in the Qianhua branch?"

Based on Jin Ping'an's previous performance, this conclusion is not hard to reach.

In the interrogation record, Ai Liang attributed all the credit to Jin Ping'an. Only Detective Lao Tian knew about this, and Lao Tian had clearly known Jin Ping'an for quite some time.

If Lao Tian was the one who leaked the information, then they had countless ways to quietly create an accident to kill Jin Ping'an; there was no need for them to go to such lengths as staging a bank robbery.

The mole is someone else.

After Ai Liang asked the question, Jin Ping'an's tone became even more somber: "Almost everyone in the branch can access that interrogation file, so..."

"So you're not sure who leaked the information either."

Ai Liang picked up the conversation, staring at Jin Ping'an with increasing dissatisfaction.

Ai Liang originally thought that Jin Ping'an, as an advisor to the criminal investigation team, would at least be better than the average police officer in terms of reasoning ability, even if he wasn't as extraordinary as Xia Qiyuan and the others.

But who would have thought that Jin Ping'an was simply not that capable? Almost everyone in the team considered him a clueless idiot when it came to reasoning.

Putting everything else aside, that old Tian alone is miles ahead of Jin Ping'an.

They directly accepted those statements as those made by Ai Liang.

So how exactly did this guy manage to become an advisor in the criminal investigation team?

After understanding the general situation, Ai Liang asked, "I understand the basics. Is there anything else?"

Jin Ping'an hesitated for a moment before saying, "The ballistic test results for the guns used by the robbers are in. All four of them used guns that came from a drug dealer called Crippled Wolf."

"Drug dealers?" Ai Liang frowned.

Among criminals, drug dealers are definitely the most troublesome and ruthless.

They do jobs that put their lives on the line; when they start fighting, they're ready to fight to the death.

"Don't worry, the ones who really want to teach you a lesson and kill me are not them, but another group." Jin Ping'an seemed worried that Ai Liang would be scared, so he quickly explained.

But this statement did nothing to comfort her.

This is like going to the hospital for a tumor checkup. The doctor sees your anxiety and says, "Don't worry, it's not late-stage lung cancer." But before you can relax, the doctor adds, "It's terminal."

Like I said before, if it were someone else, they'd probably beat Jin Ping'an's brains out.

Jin Ping'an, seemingly oblivious to his surroundings, continued, "The police risked contacting the drug dealers' informants. Although those drug thugs also wanted me dead, this matter has nothing to do with them."

"...Someone wants to use drug dealers to get rid of me and cover up their own identity."

At this point, Jin Ping'an's face showed resentment again.

"The higher-ups have decided to handle this kidnapping case as a case of drug traffickers retaliating against informants in order to raise money for drugs, and that's the explanation given to the public as well."

"Actually, someone is wary of the missing persons case I'm investigating! They're closing the case hastily in this way to avoid getting involved in more things!"
