Leap Forward Comics: Watch How I Become a Villainess

Chapter 223 The Person Who Doesn't Exist?

Lu He grabbed Zheng Ming's arm: "Don't go in yet, come with me..."

Zheng Ming refused to move, still wedging himself in the crack of the door: "No, I finally have a chance to get in..."

"Oh, I know another entrance. I'll take you in next time! Come with me now, I brought some documents out of there..."

"Really?" Upon hearing that the documents had been brought out, Zheng Ming immediately pulled his foot back and dragged Lu He towards the street: "Quick, quick, let's find a place, I'll treat you to coffee..."

Lu He was suddenly dragged to a coffee shop on the next street, leaving him completely speechless.

This person is so impulsive and has such a short temper.

After we were seated, the waiter came over with our order: "What would you two like to drink?"

"Iced Americano, what about you?" Zheng Ming quickly ordered, then turned to look at Lu He.

"I……"

"Never mind, kids can't drink coffee. Order her some milk tea or milk, something kids can drink," Zheng Ming interrupted Lu He as she placed her order.

Just as Lu He was about to argue, Zheng Ming urged her, "Quickly show me the materials you took."

"Why are you always so flustered? You're not steady at all. You're not a child, but you're not as calm as me..." Lu He rolled her eyes at him.

Zheng Ming scratched his head, softening his tone, but still urged her, "Then hurry up and take a look at it for me."

Lu He shook his head, took out his phone, and wondered if someone so impatient could really be a detective.

Zheng Ming stared intently at the photos on his phone, biting the nail of his left thumb.

Those fingernails were jagged and uneven, clearly showing they were frequently chewed on. Lu He looked disgusted; they really didn't care about cleanliness, looking like they often didn't wash their hands and were always so sloppy.

"This woman is not Wu Chunfang!" Zheng Ming exclaimed, pointing at Zhang Xiuru's fraudulently obtained ID card.

"So, is there something wrong with Wu Chunfang's identity?" Lu He followed up with another question.

“The real Wu Chunfang died five years ago! There’s no way she could be here.”

Upon hearing this, Lu He frowned. Sure enough, her earlier guess... when Zheng Ming mentioned the murderer, she suspected that this was likely related to a murder case.

I just didn't expect Wu Chunfang to have been dead for so long.

"Aren't you surprised?" Zheng Ming re-examined Lu He. This girl, who looked to be only a teenager, was calm and composed, and had the air of a mature adult.

“I guessed it…” Lu He swiped through the photos, pointing to Zhang Xiuru’s information: “She’s been living in my house for more than a year or two. If Wu Chunfang herself hasn’t run into trouble, why would she be impersonated?”

"Your home?" Zheng Ming finally realized, "You're Han Xi?"

"Otherwise what? Why would I investigate Zhang Xiuru?" Lu He picked up her hands and looked at him with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot, as if questioning how someone with such dull observation skills could become a detective.

“Then you should cooperate with me,” Zheng Ming said, laughing heartily. “I’m investigating Wu Chunfang’s cause of death. My client only discovered this year that Wu Chunfang had actually been resurrected more than a thousand kilometers away, which is why he came to me.”

“I guessed it too,” Lu He said with an air of complete control. “I guessed it from the fact that you were mainly looking through Wu Chunfang’s files. You must have been commissioned to investigate Wu Chunfang.”

Lu He's eyes sharpened as she spoke: "Have you made any progress, and found out that Wu Chunfang was murdered by that detective uncle and Zhang Xiuru in collusion?"

Zheng Ming nodded, took out his phone, and held it up for Lu He to see: "This uncle is called Zhang Dian. He went to F City five years ago, which is Wu Chunfang's city."

An ID card was displayed in front of him. Lu He reached out and swiped the photo; it was Zhang Dian's professional information.

This guy is an idle fellow with no real job. He does odd jobs like fixing computers and cell phones for people, but he's never short of money.

Looking further, he has a criminal record: extortion, blackmail, fraud...

It turns out that he borrowed some computer and mobile phone repair services, stole some private photos from people, and used them to blackmail them.

Zhang Dian was eventually arrested because he accessed someone else's mobile payment account...

What a wicked seed. Lu He couldn't help but click his tongue.

"Then what's going on with Wu Chunfang?"

“Wu Chunfang was the one whose photos he stole and used to blackmail him. Everyone else was afraid of having their private photos exposed, so they didn’t dare to call the police, but Wu Chunfang did,” Zheng Ming explained. “This allowed Zhang Dian to be charged with multiple crimes.”

"Shouldn't he be in jail?"

"So he was a fugitive who used his skilled hacking techniques... to escape..."
