Chapter 789: Can you tell us your story?
It wasn’t easy to encounter a pro, not to mention someone that’s able to leave handprints on chairs. And within these two unique dent marks, both happened to have gun calluses as well. Although there could be a chance that it was a coincidence, the chance was definitely very small.
An ordinary person’s file disappeared for no reason.
And now, the person who had disappeared had the same handprints as a new person, and this new person’s identity had been classified as confidential.
“Fang Yucheng, are you Xu Cheng?” Ran Jing murmured.
However, she did not dare to face the truth.
She had seen Mr. Fang’s appearance, and honestly, if Xu Cheng was really Fang Yucheng, then what had happened in the time between? How did a person change so drastically?
With Fang Yucheng’s look, not to mention at night, anyone would shiver even if they saw him during the day.
But she wanted to know the story here, even if it was to help Lin Chuxue.
That was when Ran Jing’s cellphone rang.
Shen Yao growled and said, “Hey girl, I’ll smash your celebration party if you don’t come.”
Only then did Ran Jing look at the time and realized she had been here for half an hour.
“I’ll be right over.” Ran Jing came back to her senses, threw her keys to a subordinate, and said, “Help me move this dining table and chair back to my apartment, I have to leave first.”
The bunch of grateful subordinates working overtime cried, not because they were moved by her, but because they had to continue working.
That was when the technician brainstormed something. “Fang Yucheng, the given name seems like Xu Cheng but with the partial side of its characters removed. Xu without the left side is Yu, and Cheng as well. Is it not?”
Ran Jing’s body froze as she prepared to go, and she abruptly turned back to look at him.
The technician was shocked by her look and hurriedly explained, “We criminal investigations need to think outside the box to solve the case, don’t we? I’m just making a random guess.”
However his words really startled Ran Jing.
Yu Cheng was the same as Xu Cheng with the side characters removed.
How did she not think of it!
“Not bad, you’ve learned lots. You can get off work tonight without working overtime.” Ran Jing was satisfied with his discovery.
She then turned around and walked away.
The technician pumped his fist. “I think the way Chief Ran looked at me right now was a little different, did you see that? She was amazed and looked at me with a surprised look, as if I’m different in her eyes. Do you guys think that her letting me off work early is hinting that she likes me?”
The other three despised him. “You’re thinking too much. Chief Ran doesn’t even like the Director-general, so why would she like you?”
The technician: “Well he’s only got the looks, maybe Chief Ran likes to see one’s ability. My idea just now was enough to move her, that was no doubt the eyes of a woman admiring a man.”
The three forensic identification officers: “…”
Ran Jing drove to that western restaurant, still haven’t recovered from the idea that Xu Cheng could be Fang Yucheng.
When she arrived at the western restaurant she had booked, she walked in and saw Shen Yao waving to her in the corner. They were seated near the ceiling-to-floor glass window where they could enjoy the view of the street.
The suite was seated for six people.
Ran Jing did not sit down beside the two women, but sat directly across from Xu Cheng, and then looked at Xu Cheng somewhat complicatedly.
Shen Yao filled everyone’s glasses with red wine and then stood up as she laughed. “Come on, let’s celebrate for Little Jing who solved a big case. Let’s toast!”
Ran Jing picked up the red wine glass and toasted, she looked to Xu Cheng and said, “This is all because of Mr. Fang, otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to solve it in such a short time. Instead of celebrating for me, how about we celebrate for everyone together?”
“This case was originally your responsibility, I was just parachuted in to assist. Congratulations, you’re going to get promoted.” Xu Cheng toasted his glass and then drank the wine.
“Little Jing, you’re really going to be promoted?” Shen Yao and Lin Chuxue both looked at Ran Jing excitedly.
Ran Jing smiled and nodded. “I should be promoted, but the documents haven’t come down yet.”
Shen Yao touched her arm and asked with a smile, “What level is it?”
Ran Jing said modestly, “I heard that the previous director-general Liu Wenbin was criticized for something and got downgraded to police academy to be re-educated. Based on that, I heard I may be taking his position.”
Speaking of which.
Ran Jing looked at Xu Cheng and asked, “Mr. Fang, did Liu Wenbin come to you for trouble?”
“No,” Xu Cheng said very naturally.
“Congratulations Little Jing, Director-General!” Shen Yao was excited.
Lin Chuxue also smiled and toasted, but she couldn’t hide the absent-mindedness in her eyes.
She wasn’t really interested in anything else, because as long as she remembered that Xu Cheng was still abroad and didn’t know how his condition was, she couldn’t be happy at all.
Ran Jing patted Lin Chuxue’s shoulder and comforted her, “Little Xue, it will be fine, be happy. Women grow old fast if they’re in a bad mood, Xu Cheng will worry when he sees you like this.”
As she said this, she glanced at Xu Cheng and saw that his gaze was focused on Lin Chuxue, which made her even more affirmative of her investigation results.
“I want to be happy as well and see him stand in front of me, I also want to reunite with him with a good look. When I was about to die, all I thought was that I wanted to see him again, so that I would die in peace. Now that I’m back alive, I’m not much different from being dead. You don’t understand how I feel right now. Sorry, Little Jing.” Lin Chuxue took a breath, adjusted her emotions quickly, and smiled. “Let’s not talk about this. Today you are the main character. Cheers!”
After clinking glasses with her, Ran Jing asked Shen Yao, “Yao Yao, when you went to see Xu Cheng on behalf of Little Xue, did you make sure that he was Xu Cheng?”
Shen Yao was eating her steak and froze for a moment. “His whole body was wrapped in bandages, so it was hard to see how he looked. But the doctor told me that he was Xu Cheng, so could it not be true? And I also looked at the file and photos provided by the doctor, it’s all correct.”
“Is it?” When Ran Jing said this, she was looking at Xu Cheng.
She said to Xu Cheng out of nowhere, “Mr. Fang, could you tell us your story?”
Xu Cheng, who was eating, paused as he lowered his head and asked, “What kind of story?”
Ran Jing: “Your appearance.”
Xu Cheng gave a bitter smile. “It was another mission to save the hostages in the fire, my whole body was burned, and I was in a coma. The severe burns caused my whole body to be disfigured, and as a last resort, they had to operate on my entire body just like that king of pop Michael Jackson, so I was bleached white. Except that my surgery was more serious than his, so the paleness is a little scary.”
