The Cannon Fodder Fiancée in the Redemption Novel, Part 3 - First Update, Mwah...
As soon as Zhou Mingyuan hung up the phone and turned around, he found that Zhou Xinxin was gone. He immediately became as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
"Xin Xin! Xin Xin! Don't scare your uncle, Xin Xin..."
He ran and shouted at the top of his lungs in the amusement park, and his voice gradually became hoarse from the exertion.
Seeing this, passing staff quickly helped, mobilizing other staff to search everywhere. An announcement began playing repeatedly over the loudspeaker: "Please come to the service center immediately after hearing this announcement, little Zhou Xinxin..."
The artificial lake that Ye Lan chose is only lively in the summer; at other times, it's just couples on dates who come to row boats.
She had brought Zhou Xinxin here before, and they spent a long time by the lake, coaxing her to step on the stones to feed the fat koi in the lake.
No one saw Zhou Xinxin fall in, but while she was struggling in the water, she was spotted by a young couple who were being affectionate in the middle of the lake.
"Holy crap, someone fell into the water!" The boy was so startled that he almost fell off the boat.
The girl peered over the gunwale and exclaimed, "It looks like a child! Quick, row over and save him!"
The two frantically began paddling, and the more nervous they became, the more mistakes they made. The boat spun around in place, moving at a snail's pace.
The girl simply took out her phone and called for help. By the time the rescue team arrived in a lifeboat, Zhou Xinxin had been struggling in the lake for more than ten minutes. When she was pulled out, her face was deathly pale, her lips were purple, and she was barely breathing.
Upon hearing the news, Zhou Mingyuan stumbled over and snatched the child from the rescuers, then began to wail.
"Xin Xin, Xin Xin, wake up! Xin Xin, Xin Xin, open your eyes and look at your uncle. Get up, your uncle will take you to eat your favorite hamburgers and fried chicken... Xin Xin..."
He just kept crying, and no one could persuade him. He held onto Zhou Xinxin tightly and wouldn't let go, leaving the rescuers helpless.
Because of this delay, by the time the ambulance arrived with its siren blaring, they had been trying to save him all the way to the hospital. They spent more than half an hour in the emergency room, but ultimately they couldn't save him.
Back home, Ye Lan was restless. Estimating that it was about time, she called Zhou Mingyuan in a sweet, coquettish voice: "Yuan, when are you and Xin Xin coming back?"
I made Xin Xin's favorite cola chicken wings. Xin Xin even told me this morning that she wanted to eat my cola chicken wings. What? Impossible, my Xin Xin…”
Ye Lan took a taxi and cried all the way to the hospital. She stumbled and ran to the emergency room, just in time to catch a nurse pushing a small cart covered with a white sheet out.
She let out a loud cry and pounced on her: "My Xin Xin! She was all lively and energetic when she left this morning, smiling and saying goodbye to Mommy, saying she wanted to eat Mommy's cola chicken wings when she got back, how come she's like this now..."
At this moment, Ye Lan cried so sincerely that her face was covered in snot and tears.
Although she had made up her mind to pave the way for her daughter's death, the child was still the one she had carried for ten months, and the pain in her heart was indescribable.
She rushed over, wailing, "My Xin Xin, Xin Xin, open your eyes and look! It's your mother! You were fine when you left with your uncle and aunt, how could you be gone forever in just half a day? Xin Xin..."
As she cried, she suddenly looked up, glanced around, and her eyes flashed with venom: "Where's Chen Xia? Didn't she go to the amusement park with you? Can't two adults keep an eye on a child? Did she kill my daughter? Where is she?"
Zhou Mingyuan, who was feeling heartbroken, was stunned by the question: "What nonsense are you talking about? Chen Xia didn't come at all! I took Xin Xin there myself."
"Bullshit!" Ye Lan screamed hysterically. She couldn't believe that even at this point, Zhou Mingyuan was still protecting Chen Xia.
She completely lost control of her emotions: "It's definitely her! It's absolutely her! I'm calling the police, I'm going to make her pay with her life for my daughter!"
She then took out her phone and dialed 110, tearfully accusing Chen Xia of murdering her daughter.
Upon hearing that a murder case involved police officers, the emergency call center dared not delay and immediately dispatched officers to verify the situation and reported it to the city bureau leadership.
The city bureau leadership also attached great importance to the matter. If the victim's family's report was true, and if they did not handle it promptly, it could cause a huge uproar online.
Upon investigation, it turned out that the policewoman named Chen Xia was in Beijing participating in the National Special Police Challenge. The competition was being broadcast live and recorded, making it impossible for her to commit the crime in two separate situations.
The police reviewed the amusement park's surveillance footage and discovered something even more outrageous: the footage clearly showed Ye Lan sneaking around behind Zhou Xinxin and accidentally knocking the child into the lake when no one was looking!
The police officers handling the case could hardly believe their eyes. After multiple confirmations and comparisons, they realized that the woman who knocked Zhou Xinxin into the lake in the surveillance footage was indeed Ye Lan. They felt that it was outrageous that she was opening the door for someone so outrageous. It was utterly absurd.
"This...this...it's true what they say, 'A big forest has all kinds of birds'..."
Even tigers don't eat their cubs, yet she cried so earnestly; it was all an act!
The veteran police officer in charge of the case said that in his more than 20 years of service, this was the first time he had ever seen such a heartless mother.
Digging deeper, a huge bombshell dropped: Zhou Xinxin is actually the child of Zhou Mingyuan and Ye Lan.
An affair between an uncle and his sister-in-law? That's shocking! But what puzzled the investigators was why Ye Lan, the biological mother, would harm her own daughter?
It was only during the first interrogation that it became clear how bizarre Ye Lan's thought process was. In order to prevent her brother-in-law Zhou Mingyuan from getting married, she did not hesitate to risk her daughter's life to frame Zhou Mingyuan's ex-girlfriend Chen Xia.
The interrogator asked her, "Do you know that Chen Xia and Zhou Mingyuan have broken up?"
Ye Lan suddenly looked up: "Broken up? Impossible! You must be making excuses for Chen Xia. If she hadn't tried to steal A Yuan away, I wouldn't have... She's the one who killed my daughter! Go and arrest her right now..."
The interrogator was speechless: "It's true. Zhou Mingyuan has also confirmed it. He and Chen Xia broke up ten days ago."
Ye Lan broke down in tears, muttering incoherently. But whatever she said, it was too late.
Just as Ye Lan was being taken back to the police station for questioning, a high-definition surveillance video suddenly surfaced online with a sensational headline: "Mother kills daughter and frames policewoman: Is it a distortion of humanity or a decline in morality?" The comment section instantly exploded.
"Holy crap! Even tigers don't eat their cubs, she's worse than an animal!"
"I also know an even more shocking piece of news. It's said that this child was born from an affair between her and her brother-in-law. Her brother-in-law is a fairly well-known lawyer in our area, named Zhou Mingyuan."
"Wow, this guy's really something, cheating on his own brother?"
"You upstairs don't know, his older brother paid for his tuition and living expenses when he was in college. In the end, he spent his older brother's money and then cheated on him. Luckily, his older brother died in a car accident a few years ago, otherwise, he would be furious."
"Emma, his older brother must be really pitiful!"
"Am I the only one worried for that policewoman? What if she hadn't broken up with her scumbag ex-boyfriend, hadn't gone to Beijing for the competition, and hadn't the amusement park replaced the cameras with new high-definition ones in time for the safety inspection?"
Then wouldn't she be unable to explain herself no matter how hard she tried? After all, who would believe that someone would commit such an inhuman act as murdering their own daughter and framing her?
"Now that you mention it, it really is true. That was terrifying! I feel so sorry for our policewoman. She was just having a relationship, and she almost got hit by a huge black pot falling from the sky!"
......
Zhou Mingyuan and Ye Lan became universally reviled, and some people even splashed red paint on the door of Zhou Mingyuan's firm.
All the cases he was handling fell through; his clients didn't believe a lawyer with such poor personal ethics could have any high level of professional ethics.
Mr. Zhou was so angry that he suffered a stroke, and Mrs. Zhou cried all day long. Relatives and friends avoided their house.
A month later, the court sentenced Ye Lan to death for intentional homicide and framing, with the sentences to be carried out immediately.
The original owner was very satisfied with the result. After giving Chen Xia a five-star review in advance, he went to reincarnate.
After seeing the original owner off, Chen Xia had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard a beep in his ear: "Detection detected that the host has successfully helped his colleague solve the murder and framing case, successfully activating the Police God Training System, starting up... Activation successful!"
The little system was so angry that it burst into tears on the spot. These trashy, idiotic level two systems were too hateful. They were fleecing people with one person each, and one or two of them were trying to steal its host.
Chen Xia didn't even bother to ask what the Police God Training System was for; he quickly tried to appease his agitated little system. Only after calming it down did he open the Police God Training System.
The system remains as rigid as ever, remaining silent and unresponsive. When asked about its functions, it tells you to check the host's instructions yourself.
After checking, Chen Xia understood the specific functions of this training system. Once the binding was activated, when she encountered a criminal, she would see a dialog box similar to a text bubble above the criminal's head, which contained the criminal's basic information and detailed criminal record.
Solving a case or capturing a criminal will earn you points, which can be used to draw cards in the character development system.
The system has three card pools, corresponding to a silver card with 1,000 points, a gold card with 5,000 points, and a diamond card with 10,000 points.
Currently, only the Silver Card pool is open. After ten draws, the Gold Card pool will be unlocked, and after one hundred draws, the Diamond Card pool will be unlocked.
The card pool contains a wide variety of skills, ranging from gun mastery and driving mastery to insight and mind reading.
After going through everything, Chen Xia's biggest desire was for the Eye of Insight. Once activated, all criminals would have nowhere to hide in front of her.
Above each criminal's head is a very conspicuous box, similar to a text bubble, containing the criminal's basic information and detailed criminal record.
Chen Xia thought for a moment and asked the system, "Now that we've successfully bound, are you going to give me a newbie gift pack?"
I've seen many systems similar to yours before. New player packs usually include skills like "Eye of Insight" and "Weapon Mastery," don't you have those?
The little system jumped out to cooperate with Chen Xia: "Xiaxia, this kind of level two system is a poor bastard. It's worthless. If you ask me, we should just unbind it now and let it be remade."
Although the Police God Training System wasn't very smart, it didn't want to be remade, so it quickly gave Chen Xia a generous newbie gift pack.
In addition to having the Eye of Insight and firearms proficiency, it also comes with interrogation proficiency and a physical enhancement.
Having achieved his goal, Chen Xia hugged the little system and kissed it: "Baby, the new system is still a baby, so take good care of it."
The little system understood Chen Xia's meaning: it was a freebie that shouldn't be wasted. It slyly dragged the police god system, which dared to undermine it, back to its system space for a proper brainwashing.
After acquiring the skills from the equipment, Chen Xia felt that he had suddenly gained a lot of memories about firearms.
Chen Xia now feels incredibly strong. She can use any kind of firearm skillfully and hit the target every time.
With the ability to see clearly, Chen Xia carefully observed everyone around him while patrolling the streets.
Although the chances are slim, if you happen to run into the suspect, you'll hit the jackpot.
Zheng Anguo couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are you looking at?"
Chen Xia scratched his head: "It's nothing, I've just been keeping track of fugitives lately, hoping to run into one."
Zheng Anguo couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Run into a wanted criminal on the street? What a pipe dream! If wanted criminals were so easy to catch, your master would have been wearing a white shirt long ago."
Chen Xia chuckled: "You still have to have dreams. If I catch him, you can be named an outstanding police officer this year."
Her mentor is good in every way, except that he is too straightforward like her father, which makes him prone to offending people. He also lacks connections, doesn't compete or fight for anything, and doesn't like to build relationships.
He's still only the deputy director of the police station.
They graduated and started working at the same time, but her uncle is now the executive deputy director of the municipal bureau, a division-level cadre. The difference between them is truly enormous.
Chen Xia figured he wasn't planning on becoming an official anyway. With this Police God System, he could accumulate more merits for Lao Zheng. He didn't dare dream of a big goal, but at least he could get promoted to a full section chief, or even a deputy section chief could be promoted to a full section chief.
Some people just can't help but nag. After walking only a few steps, Chen Xia spotted a petty thief stealing a cell phone.
Of course, it wasn't that he had sharp eyes and saw him stealing; it was just that the text bubble above his head was too eye-catching.
Without thinking twice, she rushed over and pinned him down. Only after handcuffing him did she realize that this guy's criminal record was too long; she had to scroll down to see the whole thing.
After watching Chen Xiale, I realized that this guy is truly her lucky star; this is how she got the credit.
She grabbed the guy named Yu Zhi and turned to Zheng Anguo, saying, "Master, let's go back and interrogate him properly. I think this guy's actions are more than just theft."
Although Zheng Anguo felt that his apprentice's intuition was not very reliable, he still supported her idea and decided to go back and investigate personally.
