Chapter 223: Undercover Spy
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After Xu Da and Chu Nan found out that Ning Cheng’s true identity was very likely to be a police officer, they knew for sure his information wouldn’t be retrieved that easily. As Xu Da and Chu Nan were no longer working as officers, moreover, even if they were in the police station, the identity of an undercover police officer was top secret.
However, they managed to deduce the year Ning Cheng entered the police academy via his age. Then, they went to the police academy to find a person with connections and found the teacher that Ning Cheng had studied at the police academy back then.
That teacher was retired for a few years. Now an old man with a full head of white hair, a hint of regret appeared in his eyes when he saw Ning Cheng’s photograph.
“He was the most outstanding student that I took under my wing that year. At that time, his name was Jiang Cheng. A young man full of vigor, his grades were excellent, and he possessed outstanding character. I thought he would enter the criminal division but instead…”
As Ning Cheng eventually became an undercover police and died during a mission, the old man fell into a silence.
Xu Da and Chu Nan looked at each other before saying, “We are also police officers. Of course, we know how difficult it is to be an undercover. Most importantly, as a well-trained police officer, how could he end up drowning? Do you know anything about this situation?”
Speaking of Ning Cheng’s demise, the old man’s eyes were filled with doubt. “I thought it was strange too but many years has passed since then. The police should have investigated the incident back then. They must not have found anything wrong, so they just let it go.”
Xu Da frowned, with a serious expression, he said, “No, it can’t be right. Ning Cheng died in the Ning family. Two months before his death, the parents of Ning Chen, the heir of the Ning family, also died in an accident. Two murders happened in the Ning family. There might be a connection between them.”
Xu Da’s intuition, which he had been a police officer for many years, told him that things were not as simple as it seemed.
The old man was stunned. After thinking for a while, he nodded, “What you guys said seems to make sense… how about this, I was the one who cleaned up Ning Cheng’s house. After his death, I am the one keeping his keys. Didn’t you guys want to continue investigating? I’ll give you the key, but just be prepared to come back empty-handed. After all, the police didn’t manage to find anything then.”
After taking the key from the old man, Xu Da and Chu Nan thanked him and left.
After saying this, Xu Da and Chu Nan sighed, “That house is in an Yi County. We are going in two days. Before we go, we wanted to tell you that since Ning Cheng’s identity is unusual, you should go and ask Ning Chen again to see if you can find any other clues. We can investigate together and maybe we can get some results.”
Qin Yu nodded. “Thank you, Uncle Xu and Uncle Chu. I’ll tell Ning Chen now. Sorry for the troubles, have a safe trip!”
After Xu Da and Chu Nan left, Qin Yu trotted around the house for a few rounds before she took out a spare phone from the drawer and called Ning Chen.
The call went through. There was silence for a long while before Ning Chen said uncertainly, “Xiao Yu?”
Qin Yu nodded and suppressed the longing in her heart. Her voice was a little hoarse. “Chen, are you okay?”
Ning Chen smiled faintly. “I’m fine. I just miss you.”
“I miss you too.” As Qin Yu said this, she wished she could fly to Ning Chen’s side and hug him.
Only now did she realize how much she loved this man. She loved him so much that she wished she could never leave him for the rest of her life.
“By the way, Chen, I want to tell you something this time. Do you still remember a person called Ning Cheng in your family?” Qin Yu sniffed and got to the point.
“I think I remember him a little, but I’m not familiar with him. Why?”
“He drowned on a rainy night. I felt that something was wrong, so I asked Uncle Xu Da and Uncle Chu Nan to check it out for me. In the end, they found out that Ning Cheng’s real identity was a police officer.”
“A police officer?” Ning Chen was audibly shocked. “How is that possible? None of us in the Ning family works in the force!”
“I can’t believe it either, but this matter has been confirmed. Moreover, he didn’t go to the Ning family to acknowledge his ancestors, but to be an undercover!”
Qin Yu’s tone was a little agitated, “I’m thinking, why did he go to the Ning family and why did he suddenly drown? Uncle Xu and Uncle Chu have already gone to Ning Cheng’s house to look for clues. If it’s convenient for you, can you please look out for more information on Ning Cheng?”
“Okay, I got it.” Ning Chen’s tone was slightly trembling. He never thought that a police undercover would come to the Ning family, and this person even died in the Ning family.
Could this be related to the death of his parents back then?
Ning Chen hung up the phone and immediately sent someone to investigate.
Qin Yu held her phone and vaguely felt that Ning Cheng’s death was not that simple.
What exactly happened back then?
