Xing Haodong inexplicably felt dangerous and his upper body involuntarily leaned back.
But Jiang Mingxin not only did not stop, but continued to move closer to him. Seeing that their faces were almost touching, a fresh scent of lemon penetrated into Xing Haodong's nostrils, and her delicate nose tip gently brushed his cheek.
Xing Haodong stood up suddenly as if he had been electrocuted.
"No... I'm just reminding you not to let Sister Hong's experience put you in her shoes."
He frowned and couldn't help but suspect that Jiang Mingxin did it on purpose.
Jiang Mingxin nodded in response, then stood up and moved closer to him.
Seeing that Xing Haodong still wanted to hide, she grabbed his arm and smiled: "Why are you hiding? There's something on your head..."
After saying that, she stood on tiptoe, picked up the broken leaves stuck in his hair, and handed them to him.
"Look, is there something there?"
Xing Haodong turned his face away unnaturally, picked up the army green shirt on the sofa in the living room and put it on.
"I'll come back to you tomorrow and tell you the latest progress of the case. Um...please keep a close eye on Sister Hong. If she needs any advice, feel free to contact Lin Juan."
Jiang Mingxin stepped forward quickly and grabbed his arm again, "Are you leaving now? I still have something to tell you."
What? Could it be...
Xing Haodong looked around with a flickering look in his eyes. "Do you have enough honeycomb coal in your kitchen? How about I bring some over for you?"
Jiang Mingxin really wanted to laugh when she saw him looking so flustered yet pretending to be calm.
"That's enough. I estimate it'll last until December. I want to tell you... As for Zhou Jing, I actually have a way to deal with him. Do you want to know?"
"...Oh, that's what you want to talk about. What's the solution? Tell me!" Xing Haodong straightened his shirt and sat down upright again.
Jiang Mingxin stopped teasing and his eyes returned to their previous calm and cold expression.
"Zhou Jing is both lecherous and wealthy, and he probably frequents places of drinking and sex, such as the city's dance halls and clubs. I heard he's having an affair with a married woman named Tong. You should investigate this in detail. He just saw me a few days ago, so he should have some impression of me. If I take the initiative to approach him..."
"No!" Xing Haodong interrupted him firmly. "I will investigate what you said, but using myself as bait is too dangerous. Don't even think about it!"
In some criminal cases, in order to catch criminals, the police sometimes do let women act as bait, but they must be well-trained female detectives, and absolutely no one else can do it.
Jiang Mingxin glanced at him. "I haven't finished yet. Bait is indeed bait, but it's not a weak bait. I have the ability to protect myself, and I guarantee that I can subdue him and force him to confess his crimes. After I record his confession, I will castrate him with a knife. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"
Xing Haodong fell into a strange silence.
Her sister was right, Jiang Mingxin already had some violent tendencies.
But this cannot be blamed on her. Fighting violence with violence is the most effective self-protection method she has learned from years of abuse. He cannot expect Jiang Mingxin to heal her wounds and get over the pain in such a short time.
"Mingxin, the court won't admit evidence obtained this way. It might be a confession forced upon you," Xing Haodong patiently explained, tentatively shaking her hand. "I know you want to help Sister Hong get revenge, but it must be done within the law."
"Besides, there's no need to sacrifice your dignity to punish a beast like that. With me here, you'll never have to do that!"
Jiang Mingxin felt a little shocked.
Xing Haodong's last words really touched her heart.
She raised her eyebrows, gazing into his deep eyes. "When dealing with evildoers, be wary of showing too much softness. Zhou Jing is Zhou Kui's accomplice. He must have a lot of evidence of Zhou Kui's crimes. Killing Zhou Jing will not be far from completely eradicating Zhou Kui... To be honest, Sister Hong has already considered dying with Zhou Jing. If you don't act quickly..."
"Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier?" Xing Haodong's face suddenly turned stern and he stood up to leave.
Jiang Mingxin quickly grabbed him and said, "I told you what you would do, arrest Sister Hong or monitor her whereabouts?"
"If a woman wants to kill someone, even a thousand troops can't stop her. Her mother's death has tormented her for three years. She may appear calm and gentle, but her heart is already bloodied. As long as Zhou Jing is dead, she will never have peace in her life. Xing Haodong, although you have a sense of justice, you will never empathize with us."
"Are you still worried that I'll take revenge on society? Don't worry, I'm not that extreme yet." Jiang Mingxin smiled at him gently, then suddenly turned cold and said in a gloomy voice: "But I can't say for sure in the future."
Xing Haodong was terrified, as if a piece of his beloved heart had been torn out, and he didn't know what to do.
"Mingxin, don't be like this. I know you're a kind girl... You're still young and can change your fate through studying. It's not worth sacrificing your life for one or two scumbags of society!"
He held Jiang Mingxin's shoulders tightly, his voice trembling slightly, trying to pull her out of the dark vortex. But the next second, Jiang Mingxin suddenly smiled, threw herself into his arms, and hugged him tightly.
"Xing Haodong, you're so silly! I just lied to you. So, was it fun?"
Jiang Mingxin winked at him coquettishly, which was completely different from her usual calm and peaceful appearance. There was a hint of madness and pride in her clear smile.
Xing Haodong's brain stopped working.
What does she mean?
"No way, you're scared of me? Sorry, I was just joking." Jiang Mingxin waved his hand in front of his eyes a few times, "Don't worry, I won't encourage Sister Hong to kill Zhou Jing. I know murder is against the law. But Sister Hong's desire to die with him is serious. She really wants that. If no one gives her justice this time, she'll do anything."
