Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 190 Fatal Contingency Plan
Wang Youcai is dead.

He did not die at the hands of Hu Yingshao, nor did he die in prison or on the execution platform.

Instead, he died in the interrogation room.

"Feel sorry."

Shi Hongfang stepped forward and apologized to Tian Hao.

“No, Captain Shi, you shouldn’t apologize. You just made the choice that any police officer would have made in that situation.”

Tian Hao released his grip and stood up: "It's obvious to everyone that even after he was shot and fell to the ground, he still tried to aim and fire."

"I know, but I should still apologize."

Shi Hongfang sighed: "Shooting a thug who's armed and injuring people is no problem, but no matter what, he's a key witness. If he dies, the case will probably be..."

Tian Hao was about to say something when the medical staff arrived at that moment.

He suppressed his urge to speak and went to Jin Ping'an's side.

Is there any hope for Wang Youcai?

Jin Ping'an asked, clutching his chest.

"His heart just stopped beating."

Tian Hao did not say directly that Wang Youcai was already finished.

He's a policeman, not a doctor. Although it's unlikely, what if he gets a couple of electric shocks and an adrenaline injection and comes back to life?
Tian Hao still harbored a sliver of hope.

How badly are you injured?

Jin Ping'an reached his hand inside his collar, fumbled around for a while, and pulled out a warm bullet.

"The bullet was stopped by the bulletproof vest. Now I just have some chest pain and shortness of breath."

The bullet that hit Jin Ping'an was very small, about the size of a little fingernail.

However, even such a small warhead.

If Kim An-pean wasn't wearing a bulletproof vest and the other party hit a vital spot, his life would also be in danger.

"Even if the bullet is stopped by the bulletproof vest, the impact force is still there, and it is normal to feel chest tightness and shortness of breath."

Tian Hao took the bullet, wrapped it in a tissue, and handed it to Jiang Kaiji, who had come to check on the situation, asking him to take it to the technical department for examination later.

"Just in case, I'll go with you to the hospital for a check-up."

After Tian Hao helped Jin Ping'an up, he said.

Jin Pingan waved his hand to indicate that he was fine: "Oh, no need, it's just a minor injury..."

"There are no minor gunshot wounds. You know your internal injuries haven't healed yet. What if the impact of the bullet worsens your condition?"

Without saying a word, Tian Hao grabbed Jin Ping'an and headed out of the interrogation room.

During this time, seeing that the two were about to leave Liu Garden, he only gave them a few verbal instructions.

He then launched into a tirade of abuse at the man responsible for searching Wang Youcai.

"How did you search me? A gun was brought into the station right under your nose! A shooting in the criminal investigation team? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?! Don't you have a brain?!"

Jin Ping'an only paused for two seconds to mourn the unfortunate police officer as he passed by.

That's all we can say, after all, he was the first victim of the shooting.

The root cause of all this was that the police officer did not conduct a thorough body search.

Even if Jin Ping'an were to feel sorry for that police officer, he wouldn't be able to.

If he hadn't been wearing a bulletproof vest, he would have been carried away by now.

Besides, with something this serious happening, someone has to take the blame...

cough cough.

Jin Ping'an sat in the passenger seat and fastened his seatbelt.

He couldn't help but hiss in pain as the seatbelt pierced his chest.

Firearms are firearms after all, and even a mini pistol smaller than the palm of your hand should not be underestimated in terms of power.

Body armor can stop bullets that cause penetrating damage, but it cannot stop the kinetic energy impact of the bullet.

To put it in simpler terms, it's like being hit by a miniature handgun while wearing a bulletproof vest.

That's like someone taking chopsticks and stabbing the end of one chopstick hard into your chest.

It's not fatal, but it's extremely painful, and for a short time after being hit, you'll feel tightness in your chest, and there will be a stabbing pain in your chest when you speak.

However, compared to my own life, none of these are a big problem.

On the way to the hospital.

Unusually, Tian Hao remained silent throughout the entire process.

Jin Ping'an kept his mouth shut because his chest would hurt whenever he opened it to speak.

The two of them headed to the hospital in a somber atmosphere.

Not long after, they arrived at the hospital.

Perhaps it's just psychological.

Jin Ping'an smelled the disinfectant in the hospital and felt much better; the pain in his chest had lessened considerably.

After going through a basic internal medicine examination, the two returned to the ward—Zhou Yinlian's ward.

After receiving a call from Jin Ping'an, Cheng Lejia came to the ward to take care of Zhou Yinlian in his place.

He had only been there a short time.

Seeing that Jin Ping'an had returned so quickly, Cheng Lejia greeted him curiously, "Why are you back so soon? Has the interrogation ended?"

"Yes, it's over. Wang Youcai is dead."

Dong Jinping'an Shi clutched his chest and slumped into the sofa: "He shot me in the interrogation room, and then Captain Shi shot him dead... I don't know how he brought the pistol in."

"You were shot?"

Cheng Lejia's expression turned serious: "Are you alright?"

Jin Pingan rolled his eyes at him: "You're just asking nonsense. This is a hospital. I must have finished my check-up before coming here. Apart from a little chest pain, there's nothing seriously wrong."

Cheng Lejia breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then turned to Tian Hao: "Thank you for your trouble, Uncle Tian."

Tian Hao didn't answer, but just glanced to the left and right of the door before closing it.

Jin Ping'an was completely baffled by this whole operation: "Old Tian, ​​what are you doing?"

Tian Hao walked to the sofa and took out the note that Wang Youcai had given him from his pocket: "This is what Wang Youcai put in my hand before he died."

Jin Ping'an's heart began to pound uncontrollably.

His pounding heart aggravated the injury in his chest, giving him an expression that was both excited and pained.

If I had to give an example, it would probably be something like what it looks like when a submissive is being abused.

Cheng Lejia, filled with curiosity, leaned closer to the two: "So, what important clues might be hidden in this note?"

"Probably."

Tian Hao nodded: "The reason he didn't say it outright is because Hu Yingshao has informants in the branch, and he was worried that they would destroy the evidence."

"Stop talking nonsense and open it now!" Jin Ping'an urged impatiently.

Without saying another word, Tian Hao slowly unwrapped the folded white paper. Once the paper was fully unfolded, the palm-sized piece of white paper was completely blank.

"What... thing is this?!"

The more excited he was just now, the more disappointed Jin Ping'an is now.

They thought Wang Youcai had left some crucial clues, but it turned out he left behind a blank sheet of paper to play tricks on them.

Tian Hao, on the other hand, remained much calmer. He believed that what Wang Youcai had entrusted to him before his death was no joke.

Tian Hao put the paper under his nose and smelled it, and immediately understood.

"Old Tian, ​​I was just kidding! Don't be impulsive!"

Jin Ping'an was just grumbling when he saw Tian Hao pull out a lighter from his pocket and panicked: "What if Wang Youcai used some kind of invisible ink to write it?"

Tian Hao used the flame from the lighter to heat the note back and forth: "I'm making the writing visible, aren't I?"

It's acetic acid.

Seeing Jin Ping'an's blank expression, Cheng Lejia explained the principles to him from the side.

"Wang Youcai must have written with white vinegar. Writing with white vinegar and letting it dry will leave no trace on the paper."

Paper fibers corroded by the acetic acid in white vinegar are more easily scorched by baking; simply baking them at high temperatures will reveal brown lettering.

I've told you to pay attention in class; the teacher mentioned that in class too.

"I just didn't think of it for a moment."

Jin Ping'an mumbled incoherently.

Tian Hao didn't dare to hold the lighter too close, worried that he might set the note on fire.

As the flames flickered back and forth, the writing on the note began to appear.

Tian Hao took the baked paper strip in his hand, blew on it, and began to read the contents.

'By the time you see this note, I should already be dead, and if nothing unexpected happens, I should be killed by the police.'

I've kept a detailed record of everything I've done over the years and stored it in a bank safe deposit box.

The key to the safe was buried in the pot of lucky bamboo by the window on the second floor of the villa.

You can investigate that old bastard Hu Yingshao bit by bit based on the criminal evidence I've given you. I don't believe he can handle every single thing cleanly.

Furthermore, all the illegal activities were carried out by me and had nothing to do with Wang Youde. Even if I don't say it, you should be able to find out.

I asked him to leave Qianhua City not because he had done anything wrong and was afraid of being caught by the police.

Rather, without my protection, he would definitely not survive, so I let him leave.

In addition, I have put all the illegal gains from the past few years together with the evidence of the crime.

I hope you can consider that I voluntarily turned myself in and not pursue his problems. He's just a silly kid.

As for the purpose of leaving this letter... it is because I have evidence to accuse Hu Yingshao.

Unfortunately, I will not repent for what I have done. I left this letter simply to drag that old geezer Hu Yingshao into this mess.

Finally, I have a piece of advice for Tian Hao… You must be virtuous and upright! Bring Hu Yingshao to justice!

After reading the contents of the note, Jin Ping'an became somewhat anxious.

He took the note from Tian Hao and looked at the back: "Where's the evidence against Hu Yingshao? Could it be that Wang Youcai forgot to write it down?"

"If you want Lao Tian to be virtuous and upright, then provide the evidence!"

Jin Ping'an's complaint was like a thunderclap out of nowhere, making Tian Hao instantly understand everything, and he jumped up from the sofa.

Jin Ping'an was startled by his actions: "What's wrong, Lao Tian?"

Tian Hao ignored Jin Ping'an and slammed the door shut as he stormed out, heading straight for the parking lot.

Wang Youcai's note used a code that only a select few people knew.

The above describes Wang Youde's situation. Combining the last sentence with the information the police had gathered, Tian Hao understood what Wang Youcai meant.

He drove his police car back to the branch office at top speed.

Liu Yuan, who had just come out of the infirmary, ran into Tian Hao: "Tian Hao? Why are you back so soon? Are you safe and sound..."

Tian Hao ignored him and ran straight towards the office area.

Upon arriving at his desk, Tian Hao went berserk, rummaging through everything in the drawers.

That's not it!

That's not it either!
Soon the floor was covered with document bags.

As one file folder after another was thrown to the floor, fewer and fewer file folders remained on the table.

This made Tian Hao's heart tighten.

He picked up the last file folder, which was also the one he was looking for.

Upon hearing the news, Jiang Kaiji rushed over and saw Tian Hao rummaging through the documents on the desk like a scavenger.

"Old Tian, ​​what's wrong with you...?"

"Has anyone touched the files on my desk?!"

Tian Hao grabbed Jiang Kaiji's shoulders with both hands and yelled at him.

Jiang Kaiji was completely taken aback by the sudden roar.

After pausing for a couple of seconds, he pointed to the filing cabinet in the corner: "When you were suspended last time, I tidied up your desk for you, and some of the files were put in the cabinet..."

Tian Hao immediately let go of her hand and ran to the filing cabinet, tearing down a row of file bags and searching carefully.

The crucial evidence left behind by Wang Youcai, which could have put Hu Yingshao to death, was actually already in the hands of the police.

After fiddling around for a while, Tian Hao's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.

Hu Yingshao did destroy all the paintings and calligraphy containing the victim's DNA, but... what if he wrote with ink containing the victim's DNA without his knowledge?
Tian Hao took a deep breath and slowly opened the file bag he had brought back from his business trip.

Indeed, Hu Yingshao personally delivered this evidence to him.

The four characters "virtuous, good, upright, and honest" immediately catch the eye.

This calligraphy was both Hu Yingshao's mockery of the detachment and the grave he dug for himself.

"This is?"

Jiang Kaiji squatted down next to Tian Hao, looking at the calligraphy and painting.

He immediately remembered that these were the words Hu Yingshao had given to Tian Hao at the front desk of the detachment.

However, his mind wasn't as quick as Tian Hao's, and it took him a while to connect the clue of grinding bodily fluids into ink.

"Could it be that……"

Jiang Kaiji's eyes began to light up.

When Hu Yingshao visited the criminal investigation team, who was with him?
Wang Youcai's younger brother, Wang Youde.

At the end of the note, Wang Youcai could have used many words to admonish Tian Hao, but he chose the rather inappropriate word "virtuous and upright."

This is clearly an implication to Tian Hao that Hu Yingshao used a faulty ink when he wrote those words.

It's likely that Wang Youcai tampered with more than just this one piece of calligraphy.

As Hu Yingshao's assistant, Wang Youde had many opportunities to replace the ink.

This is the real killer move left behind by Wang Youcai.

As for why Hu Yingshao trusted Wang Youde.

This was also a trap deliberately set by Wang Youcai.

He never spoke ill of Hu Yingshao to his younger brother; on the contrary, he constantly admonished his brother to protect the benefactor.

Wang Youde's greatest strength was his obedience.

Therefore, he truly regarded Hu Yingshao as his benefactor and protected him.

It wasn't until recently that Wang Youcai broke off relations with Hu Yingshao in front of his younger brother.

Hu Yingshao mistakenly believed that Wang Youcai had deliberately sent Wang Youde to his side as a hostage, and he even remarked that Wang Youcai had the ambition of a hero.

After confirming that Wang Youde was indeed loyal, Hu Yingshao did not mind giving him a chance, as he could treat this assistant as a trusted confidant.

However, this is limited to normal business matters, which was the agreement Wang Youcai and Hu Yingshao reached at the time.

What kind of spy is the perfect spy?
That means they themselves are unaware that they are a spy for a spy.

Wang Youcai replaced the ink without anyone knowing.

This left behind this fatal piece of evidence.
