Chapter 121: Bait

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In light of the circumstances, the mining accident thirteen years ago was not the main issue here. The focus should be on the forced demolition by the developer eight years ago.

However, only two people were involved in the forced demolition. In fact, one of them died seven years ago. The conjecture seemed to defy logic.

Wang Hao passed the files around and elaborated, “Three months ago, Sergeant Xu told me to research about this. As he didn’t specify that it was related to the case, I didn’t pay much attention to it. When I saw everyone investigating the case on impersonation of public security officers that took place as a result of the forced demolition, I was reminded of this particular case.”

The files offered by Wang Hao contained information about the last of the nine miners who came back from the mine.

After his relocation, his son died of an illness and his entire family was admitted into a psychiatric hospital due to their mental illnesses. A few years back, the miner himself passed away too. His wife escaped from the psychiatric hospital and was never found again. She was probably…

The whereabouts of the nine surviving miners had been accounted for. Regardless of whether their deaths were natural or intentional, they were no longer alive.

“Do you think the Sparrow Game will still go on? How are we going to capture our suspect now?” asked Wang Hao.

“Suspect? We don’t even have the slightest clue about anything. How are we going to capture our suspect?” Xie San replied dejectedly.

“Heck! So our efforts are all for naught? What a waste of time!” Wang Meng chimed in.

“Mind your language,” Xiao Feng said with a huge frown, he was clearly in a bad mood.

“Damn! What’s wrong with the way I speak? Is this the first day that you know me? Damn it! You’re crazy!”

Wang Meng whispered the last few syllables through his teeth, with the final syllable popping out between his lips. It was exactly the same as the night at the toilet and it made Xu Lan extremely uncomfortable.

In hindsight, Wang Meng and Xiao Feng seemed to share a special relationship. In fact, Lan Er even warned him about it.

“Cough, cough. Let’s focus on the case. The miner who returned to Whitehorse seven years ago is the only one whom we have yet to investigate. Do you all think it’s a good place for us to start?” proposed Xu Lan.

“On a side note, we’ve looked into the terminal server at Laos. It’s as Sergeant Xu had said, the server has been out of use for a long time. The following are the administrators who’ve been active in the game over the past few months.”

Xie San took out a stack of files and distributed it to everyone.

There were five accounts listed on it. Amongst them, three accounts were active in Whitehorse. This showed that Xu Lan’s conjecture was moving in the right direction. The login details of the accounts, including the time and location of login, were listed in the files too.

“Have you looked into these locations yet? Did you find anything?” asked Xiao Feng.

“Uh, he’s sly and did not leave anything behind. We’re waiting for him to login again and arrest him on the spot,” replied Xie San.

“Hmm, in that case, you should bait him on the internet and see if he takes the bait. Previously, Group Leader Meng and his team worked hard to locate the terminal and applied to be an administrator. We should post a couple of pictures and try to locate their organization. Let’s see if we have any luck with that,” Xiao Feng said determinatively.

“Alright.”
