My Dearest General: It Has Always Been You

[Hahaha, I will marry a kind, virtuous girl in two months. She will definitely taste good, pure and innocent. It's sad but I guess I have to stop whoring around.]

[My wife is pregnant and her temper is getting more and more explosive. How annoying! Doesn't she think of how fucking hard I work every single day? Complain about this, complain about that. I can't even get a release in a week!]

[Old habits die hard. It's still the experienced one that tasted better. I thought that it would be novel to marry a virgin, innocent girl but turns out it's just so-so. I lied that I am having a business trip abroad for half a month hahaha, Little Chenchen and Xiao Man, I'm coming~]

[Fuck, I have gambling debts! Fuck! I can't let my family know about this. Does anyone know how I can get quick money? I need two million.]

Ru Meiqi stopped at this post that was dated a year ago.

Wang Chengbing hummed. "Open it. If I am just a little careless, then I will surely miss it. See his conversation with @kmeulchian5862."

Ru Meiqi scrolled down. Amidst the comments of "lololol another bastard appeared" "brother, you have a life, work, virtuous wife and still gambling? I salute you!" "Just sold your kidney ah, your wife's is also okay." An inconspicuous comment of an intangible username appeared.

[kmeulchian5862]: In need of money? No need to stress yourself out, no need to sell your kidney. Instant solution is here for you!

Even though it sounded much like an advertisement and a scam but because Wang Chengbing had unearthed it out from thousands of comments, Ru Meiqi paid extra attention to it.

In the next posts, Yu Chuan complained about everything. His wife, his children, his parents and in-law and the most often ones were how he always lost in gambling and garnered quite a lot of debt to the point where he considered selling one of his kidneys.

But in every post, that username always appeared with the same words and the exact commas and periods.

[kmeulchian5862]: In need of money? No need to stress yourself out, no need to sell your kidney. Instant solution is here for you!

[kmeulchian5862]: In need of money? No need to stress yourself out, no need to sell your kidney. Instant solution is here for you!

[kmeulchian5862]: In need of money? No need to stress yourself out, no need to sell your kidney. Instant solution is here for you!

Ru Meiqi lifted her head. "What's wrong with this account?"

After confirming that she had finished looking, Wang Chengbing clicked on another post. This time, it was dated almost thirteen months ago by the username @littlebunny.

[It's so scary! We are just having PE class in the field and everyone in my class is running in two rows, girls in front and boys behind. At that time, my partner suddenly felt unwell so I supported her to rest by the side of the field under the tree. Guess what we found?! It's. A. Fucking. Severed. Hand! And it's still bloody!!! The school is instantly sealed off and police come to investigate! Rumors said that there's a homicide happening in the school and they haven't found out who the hand belonged to. The victim is so pitiful! I hope that the killer is found soon.]

Ru Meiqi remembered it. This was the first time that the serial killer dumped the body part in the sports field of City S High School. The first victim, Qian Ke's body was found there, spread throughout the school with her head ended up in the garbage bin.

She scrolled down to the tens of thousands of comments and found the familiar username.

[kmeulchian5862]: Who knows? Maybe the victim deserves to die.

Deserves to die…

Ru Meiqi looked at this sentence and remembered Uncle Qian's bloodshot eyes filled with hatred and grief, a lump instantly formed in her throat. She took a deep breath to control her emotion.

Wang Chengbing extracted @kmeulchian5862's activity and compiled it into the TV screen. Ru Meiqi looked at it intently.

[kmeulchian5862]: Hahaha, City S is so lively, how fun!

[kmeulchian5862]: Why don't you ever think that the victims deserve to die? It's not always the killer's fault, okay?

[kmeulchian5862]: She deserves to die ah

[kmeulchian5862]: What fun is there with secretly commiting crime? You all should publicize it like the serial killer ah!

[kmeulchian5862]: What's innocent about her? You don't know, maybe she's just putting a good girl front but behind, she's a true bitch?

Ru Meiqi felt like her head was spinning. Then, the screen changed to the log conversation between Yu Chuan and this username. Maybe because Yu Chuan had been pushed into the corner, he actually replied to that username.

[chuanchuan88]: How do I earn money? Please tell me!

[kmeulchian5862]: How much do you need depends on how hard it is. But don't worry, there will be no pain and you will not lose a single thing!

[chuanchuan88]: Can…Can it be fifty million?

Wang Chengbing chuckled. "This little fellow is quite smart. His debt was only twenty million but he asked for more than twice as much of it."

The chat in the forum ended there and Wang Chengbing typed on his keyboard. A string of codes ran across the screen and the firewall of the protected chat was peeled off layer by layer.

"This is illegal, I know. Breach of privacy, I know." Wang Chengbing grumbled in a low voice but Ru Meiqi couldn't afford to care about him now. She leaned forward to read a private message between the two of them. First, they introduced each other. Yu Chuan—being the passive party, instantly revealed everything about him, anyway all of his secret that was kept in the website had been seen so he had nothing to hide anymore.

The real chat started a month ago.

[Yu Chuan]: Where can I get the money? What should I do? If it's any longer, I can't bear it anymore! The debt collector almost got my address!

[kmeulchian5862]: Calm down. Saturday, 25th May. Go to the Recreational Park, bring your family and stay a night in the cottage.

[Yu Chuan]: Then?

[kmeulchian5862]: Just that. Don't forget or else there's no money.

[Yu Chuan]: Fucker! It's really just that?! You have to keep your words or else I will go search for you!

The chat ended there. Ru Meiqi pinched her brows. "Then? What else?"

"What else?" Wang Chengbing's face crumpled. "I have already dug this deep in only a few days okay?! This is already crucial information! Now we know that Yu Chuan really has some shady deals with the serial killer!"

Ru Meiqi didn't know whether she should laugh or cry. "I don't mean to criticize you. You have already done such a good job. What I mean is the chat…after this, is there anything else?"

"No." Wang Chengbing frowned. "I guess they established a new form of communication after that but I haven't found out about it yet. Give me a few days and I will dig it out."

"Good job." Ru Meiqi nodded and patted his shoulder. "Actually, I have another favor to ask of you."

Wang Chengbing turned to her and showed a smile worse than crying. "I know that you aren't just coming to check on my progress. What? I have slaved myself and there's still more work?"

Ru Meiqi burst into laughter. "Actually, it's not that urgent. But I want you to check the CCTV on Shi Nian's apartment building. I have just returned there and an auntie said that a man had visited her house when she was missing."

"What?!" Wang Chengbing jerked as if his tail was being stepped on. "Someone trespassed into Shi Nian's house?!"

"No, not trespass." Ru Meiqi hurriedly calmed him down. "It's just that the identity of that person is unknown and the CCTV on her floor is broken. I need you to check whether you can find something out. My gut feelings told me that there's more to it than what meets the eye."

Hearing that it was Shi Nian's matter, Wang Chengbing was instantly rejuvenated. "Okay, okay I will check it out for Shi Nian! Just wait until I find that person!" He rubbed his palm and started to dive into work, his ten fingers flying across the keyboard so fast that afterimage was formed.

Ru Meiqi nodded. "Thank you very much, Comrade Wang. I will leave it to you."

Wang Chengbing hummed without looking up. "Will you come again in a few days?"

"No," she answered. "You can directly report to your captain. I have to accompany Shi Nian to move."

"Move?" Wang Chengbing lifted his head in shock. "Move where?"

"It's not confirmed yet. But she will surely move into another city. It's not safe here anymore. The police will arrange everything for her and her mother and I will go accompany her until she arrives safely.." Ru Meiqi looked at the bird nest hair atop of Wang Chengbing's head and offered seriously. "Comrade Wang, do you want to go with us?"
