Leap Forward Comics: Watch How I Become a Villainess

Chapter 224 What a big game of chess

"Do you know how Wu Chunfang died?" Lu He was very concerned about this matter.

Zheng Ming shook his head and sighed helplessly: "All I know is that Wu Chunfang died in the suburbs the night Zhang Dian escaped."

Good heavens, it's a suspenseful murder story! Lu He covered her mouth. "Didn't you say it was just a school comic? This is getting a little scary."

Thinking back to brushing past such a dangerous person in the confined room, I felt a chill run down my spine.

It's terrifying to think about. If I had been discovered just now, I might have been killed.

Lu He wiped the sweat from his forehead and grasped the hot milk tea that the shop assistant had just brought over.

"We haven't yet figured out the relationship between Zhang Dian and this Zhang Xiuru..."

“Oh, I know, they’re lovers, and Zhang Xiuru is pregnant with Zhang Dian’s child,” Lu He blurted out.

"No, how do you know everything?" Zheng Ming's eyes widened. It seems that appearances can be deceiving; this seemingly ordinary little girl was actually so shrewd.

"How about you come work as a detective at our agency? You can work for me, and I'll train you..."

"Oh, look at you, so capable! I'd rather be your teacher. I've figured it out, you're not very bright..." Lu He rattled off a string of words that made Zheng Ming blush and turn red in the face.

He awkwardly rubbed his hands, took a sip of his iced Americano, and changed the subject: "Since these two have such a close relationship, why don't I go and investigate this Zhang Xiuru?"

"That suits me perfectly. There are suspicious circumstances surrounding my biological mother's death. I originally only suspected that it was related to Zhang Xiuru, but now it seems that the two of them are probably the murderers!"

Lu He had initially thought that Han Xi's mother might have been angered to death or poisoned, and wondered what extraordinary methods Zhang Xiuru, an ordinary woman, could possibly have.

Unexpectedly, she was still too narrow-minded; she actually knew a murderer and was even associating with such a fugitive.

Things get complicated.

I need to go back and discuss it with Xia Lan.

"Um, could you leave me your contact information?" Zheng Ming handed over his phone somewhat awkwardly.

Lu He readily added him and then told him to keep in touch.

"I'll contact you in a couple of days and find a chance to take you into that secret room to look for evidence." After saying that, Lu He got up to leave.

"Are you leaving?" Zheng Ming clearly had something else to say.

"What?" Lu He stopped.

"You're not even curious about the client?" Usually, what everyone likes to ask about the clients in various cases is the clients.

"What client?" Lu He asked, looking surprised.

"They are the clients who handled Wu Chunfang's case..."

"Was it the police officer in charge of the case at the time?" Lu He asked casually, as if he knew everything.

"Holy crap, you're amazing..." Zheng Ming quickly stopped talking, afraid that if he said any more, he would be revealing the client's information.

There's no need to make a fuss. Lu He had read about this in various novels before, especially after paying attention to Wu Chunfang's information. She was unmarried, so it couldn't have been entrusted by the child. Besides, she was only in her early twenties five years ago.

The most crucial piece of information is that the client was able to learn of Wu Chunfang's identity and "revive" in a city more than a thousand kilometers away...

That would inevitably mean she is a public official who can access the population network, while her family members, namely her parents, are listed as ordinary small vendors.

Moreover, this is a comic book world, where it's common to see police officers who are obsessed with a particular case and can't let it go.

Zheng Ming now only thinks of Han Xi as a chosen detective genius, unaware that she has simply read a lot of novels and comics.
