A Female Forensic Doctor Transmigrates into a Book as the Female Supporting Character Chapter 406 -: USB Drive

With his years of experience in handling cases, Feng Jing was certain that the USB drive Liu Jing spoke of was the core of the entire situation.

“Please elaborate further.” Feng Jing’s expression turned grave; the evidence he had been struggling to obtain might actually be contained within the USB drive Liu Jing mentioned.

The good news was that the USB drive wasn't currently in the possession of the black market operatives. However, the bad news was that the potential for more lives to be lost because of it was quite high.

“They mentioned that the USB drive seemed to be buried beneath a large tree. I overheard the man in the black suit remarking that there are simply too many similar trees in City A.”

Yin Tao found Liu Jing’s words to be remarkably familiar, as if she herself had voiced them previously.

“Is the tree you are referring to a large locust tree?” Yin Tao couldn’t help but interject, addressing Liu Jing directly.

“Yes, I recall them mentioning that the locust tree was likely not within the city itself, as they had already scoured nearly every location in the city where locust trees were present.”

Although Liu Jing could not recall every precise word of their conversation, she was confident she hadn't misinterpreted the general gist.

Yin Tao glanced at Feng Jing, and they exchanged a look. It appeared that the locust tree Liang Yi had previously mentioned to Cheng Yao would indeed be the very tree where the USB drive was concealed.

“The man in the black suit even offered an apology to the man in the casual outfit, stating that the child’s matter had not been handled properly.” Despite not fully comprehending the meaning behind their exchange, Liu Jing dared not withhold any detail whatsoever.

Feng Jing furrowed his brow and inquired, “What child? Did they specifically mention a child?”

“The children from the Children’s Home. They didn't elaborate further,” Liu Jing replied, lowering her head sadly. She further explained, “As we were prohibited from bringing any electronic devices, I was unable to record their conversation. Does this information not prove very helpful?”

Based on the clues Liu Jing had provided, Feng Jing had already formed a bold hypothesis in his mind. “No, you have been of immense help to me.”

“How did you manage to escape at that moment? How were you discovered?” Yin Tao harbored a deeply unsettling premonition. She was acquainted with a child from the Children’s Home in City A, and this child had nearly become entangled in the recent murder case.

“I remained completely silent at the time, so they didn't notice me even after their conversation concluded. However, perhaps out of sheer terror, I observed them exiting the room and couldn't bear to wait any longer, so I fled. I encountered the bodyguards who were still stationed on guard not far away.”

Recalling the events of that time, Liu Jing was still trembling. Had it not been for the considerable number of people present at the auction, she might not have succeeded in escaping.

“However, as long as they decide to investigate, they will undoubtedly uncover the truth,” Sister Ling stated, looking at Liu Jing with concern. She then explained to Feng Jing and the others, “Fortunately, Liu Jing placed her complete trust in me and immediately sought me out to recount what had transpired.”

Sister Ling paused briefly before voicing her true feelings. “I have no desire to oppose the higher-ups within the black market. After all, I manage several legitimate businesses within that sphere.”

“Yet, I am also fully aware of their ruthless methods. Liu Jing has overheard far too much; they will absolutely not let her go. It is only a matter of time before they trace her.”

“So, you concealed Liu Jing here before they could identify her?” Jiang Xing expressed his surprise, realizing the circumstances Liu Jing had endured. He found it difficult to fathom how a young lady like her had managed to survive throughout this trying period.

“Then they must already be aware that the individual who overheard the secret was Liu Jing?” Yin Tao understood that Sister Ling’s actions had, without a doubt, revealed Liu Jing’s involvement. However, the consequences of not taking such a risk were unimaginable.

“Indeed. If the police had not been monitoring us so closely recently, I am convinced they would have eliminated all the waitresses that very night.” A look of disdain flickered across Sister Ling’s eyes. While she was not in the business of charity, she certainly did not regard human lives as mere trifles.

Feng Jing had remained silent throughout the entire exchange. After listening to Liu Jing’s testimony, many previously inexplicable events gradually began to make sense.

“Sister Ling, have you never considered contacting the police? If we hadn’t arrived today, would you have continued to harbor Liu Jing?” Yin Tao felt a deep admiration for Sister Ling. Her unwavering protection of Liu Jing, at all costs, was a clear testament to her character.

“As I’ve stated before, I do not possess complete faith in the police. Were it not for your affiliation with the Feng family, I would not have divulged these details to you.”

Feng Jing observed the woman before him. While not exceptionally beautiful, she possessed a compelling charisma. She exuded an elegant demeanor that transcended the ordinary charm typically associated with women.

“Do you hold the Feng family in high regard?” Feng Jing’s gaze swept over the woman, a complete stranger to him. He was certain they had never crossed paths before.
