Chapter 366: Chapter 281 New Mission Again

As Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou spoke, Ji Haifan and his colleagues were busy tearing off the tape from the prisoners’ mouths, and the ropes binding their feet also had to be untied so that they could walk later.

As for the ropes around the wrists of these prisoners, while being untied, they were simultaneously equipped with a pair of silver bracelets, the standard treatment for prisoners by the police officers.

After finishing the phone call, Zhang He also turned around and joined the effort.

When Zhang He first saw so many suspects tied up in the room, he couldn’t help but think to himself how lucky Jiang Ning was that none of them had managed to break free and escape.

These people were all part of a fraud gang, which meant they were likely acquainted with each other.

Although their mouths were sealed with tape, they could still communicate with their eyes and help each other untie their bonds by using their fingers back-to-back.

All in all, Zhang He believed that the reason these people hadn’t fled was firstly due to Jiang Ning’s luck, and secondly because they were too stupid and honest.

Only when he personally began to help them untie did Zhang He finally understand why they hadn’t run.

This damn thing was a professional handcuff knot.

Are these two really not his colleagues?

There were nearly thirty criminals here, and they only brought a few silver handcuffs with them when they set out, thinking that would surely be enough. But now... it clearly wasn’t.

Jiang Ning found Ji Haifan and sent him the evidence she had photographed at the hospital, then after a brief statement was recorded, she left with Qi Xingzhou.

Upon leaving the print shop, Jiang Ning noticed that at some point two police officers had come to support and put up a police cordon at the entrance.

On both sides of the street outside the cordon and directly across the street, there were crowds of onlookers holding up their cell phones to watch the excitement.

People didn’t understand what had happened; their curiosity was piqued by the sight of several police cars parked here, which made them stop in their tracks and unconsciously stand to one side and watch.

As soon as Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou stepped out, the curious gazes of the onlookers fell directly on them.

Jiang Ning had anticipated this scene and, ignoring the curious stares of the spectators, she led Qi Xingzhou past the police cordon and straight to a taxi parked nearby, "Driver, are you available?"

The taxi driver was also watching the excitement, not expecting that he could pick up a fare while enjoying the spectacle.

"Hey! Yes, yes, come on in!" the driver replied in a bright voice, quickly trotting over.

Jiang Ning opened the car door, and she and Qi Xingzhou got in one after the other.

The driver asked where they wanted to go.

Not being very familiar with Capital City, Jiang Ning replied, "We’re planning to have lunch, do you have any recommendations?"

"Oh, you’re tourists, aren’t you? I’ve got it, I’ll take you to Jinyun Street. It’s full of restaurants, Chinese cuisine, Japanese food, hot pot, Haidilao, everything," the driver responded and slowly started the engine.

The driver was quite outgoing, and not long after setting off, he curiously asked Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou why they came out of the print shop and what had happened inside that warranted police cars parked at the front.

Jiang Ning turned to look out the window at the street, her voice natural, "We don’t know. We just went in to copy our ID cards. The police checked our IDs inside, found out we were customers of the shop, and then let us leave."

The driver nodded, seemingly convinced by Jiang Ning’s explanation.

After all, if Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou really had any issues with their identities, it’s not likely they would have been able to walk out so freely.

Then, the driver enthusiastically recommended several restaurants with different tastes but supposedly great flavors to Jiang Ning, and also told her about Capital City’s local snacks and tourist attractions. Jiang Ning nodded and took note of each one.

Until they got out of the taxi, the driver even turned around to warmly wish them, "Have a great time in Capital City!"

A smile appeared under Jiang Ning’s mask, her tone relaxed, "Thank you."

It was just a pity that she and Qi Xingzhou were not real tourists.

They were Bounty Hunters, and soon they would be heading to another unfamiliar city to capture a criminal.

Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou randomly picked a restaurant with a fancy-looking decoration to have dinner.

While resting in the private room after having their meal, Jiang Ning checked her phone for any unread messages and discovered that her friend request from two hours ago had already been approved.

[Chen Xiansen] We’ve become friends now, hurry up and chat with me!

Jiang Ning’s gaze became slightly focused.

At the same time, a voice from the System also echoed in Jiang Ning’s mind:

[Ding! Criminal Chen Deshuang located, please Host apprehend the individual as soon as possible! Reward: 10 days of life value, 50 Merit Points!]

This WeChat account was sent to Jiang Ning by Chang Sunhuang this morning.

After Jiang Ning left school yesterday, Chang Sunhuang and his group had been frantically searching online for this type of information until they finally managed to send over two WeChat accounts suspected of recruiting for a fraud ring this morning.

[Chen Xiansen] was one of them.

For the other, Jiang Ning had sent a friend request, which had not yet been accepted.

The issuance of a System task almost equated to confirming the target’s criminal activities.

Jiang Ning clicked to view the task details provided on the System screen.

Criminal’s photo: [Image.jpg]

Criminal’s name: Chen Deshuang

Criminal’s age: 36

Criminal’s crime: Embezzling and accepting bribes using his position on the platform

Criminal’s hiding area: Sanlan City Wangjiang District Pingnan Third People’s Hospital

Jiang Ning’s eyes fell on the picture given by the System, which, as before, was always a formal ID photo.

Because ID photos don’t have beautifying filters, one could see the criminal’s most authentic appearance and facial features.

The man in the ID photo stared straight at the camera, dressed in a suit with his hair meticulously styled, looking every bit the successful professional.

Upon seeing the hiding area provided by the System, Jiang Ning was slightly taken aback.

This person... couldn’t be a doctor, could he?

Whether he was or wasn’t, Jiang Ning had to go there herself.

She began to search on her phone for the distance between Capital City and Sanlan City, and then, to her delight, she found that both Capital City and Sanlan City were under the jurisdiction of Pingnan Province, and the distance between the two cities was not far, with only a forty-minute ride by high-speed train.

Convenient transportation was available, with high-speed trains and subways running from Capital City to Sanlan City nearly every half hour.

Jiang Ning poked Qi Xingzhou, "Are you well-rested? We need to depart now."

Qi Xingzhou nodded and stood up willingly.

He was taller than Jiang Ning, so when he stood up, she had to look up at him.

Qi Xingzhou looked down and took the initiative to ask, "Are we going to capture other bad people now?"

This was the first time Qi Xingzhou had proactively inquired about their destination after so many outings, and Jiang Ning nodded. As she got up and walked to the door, she replied to Qi Xingzhou, "Yes. There’s a new bad person that we have to capture, and then we can probably head back to Capital City."
