A Female Forensic Doctor Transmigrates into a Book as the Female Supporting Character Chapter 411 -: Harvesting

“It’s merely an open mission, and I’m hoping to use this chance to leave the black market once I find it. I truly have no clue why I’m searching for this locust tree.”

Liang Yi eyed Feng Jing and Yin Tao, asking with concern, “Are there actually any corpses?”

“Even if there are, have you considered the consequences?” Yin Tao looked at the quiet Liang Yi and urged, “You should withdraw as soon as possible. If you persist, you won’t know if you’ll just be used.”

“It’s not that simple to quit,” Liang Yi replied with a wry smile, explaining, “I’m only permitted to request a replacement after completing my first mission. That’s precisely why I need to locate this locust tree.”

“Where have you and the others from the black market searched for this locust tree? Can you map it out?” Feng Jing was keenly interested in finding the USB drive, as locating it was his primary objective.

“It’s quite simple to recall. We’ve scoured every locust tree in City A. All that remains are the ones in the suburbs, but the area is vast, making it difficult to find.”

Liang Yi had a resolution in his heart; he was determined to sever ties with the black market this time, even if it meant relocating to another city with Cheng Fei and Cheng Yao. He couldn’t continue living under constant fear.

“Thank you for your assistance today. When Yan Kai is apprehended, I may require your statement.” Feng Jing and Yin Tao stood, preparing to depart. The immediate priority was the USB drive.

“Please contact us if there’s anything we can do to help. Liang Yi will give his utmost.” Cheng Fei escorted Feng Jing and Yin Tao out. In his view, it was a positive development that Liang Yi could completely distance himself from the black market.

Upon exiting Cheng Fei’s residence, Yin Tao and Feng Jing wasted no time, heading directly to the Children’s Home to find Xu Shan. After receiving counseling from a psychiatrist, Xu Shan was now virtually indistinguishable from children her age, displaying a livelier demeanor than before.

Yin Tao spoke to her about the locust tree, presenting the drawing of a locust tree that Cheng Yao had made.

“Sister, Dad took me to this place,” Xu Shan pointed to the locust tree in the drawing and told Yin Tao, “Dad said the locust tree is his favorite because he met Mom beneath it.”

Yin Tao and Feng Jing exchanged surprised glances at Xu Shan’s words. They hadn’t anticipated matters unfolding so smoothly. Yin Tao eagerly inquired, “Shanshan, do you know where Mom and Dad first met?”

Xu Shan nodded, innocently replying, “It’s called Huaiying County. It’s a truly beautiful place.”

Having secured this crucial piece of information, Feng Jing and Yin Tao couldn't afford further delay. They bid farewell to Xu Shan and hurried towards Huaiying County, which was not far from City A.

Fearing undue attention, Feng Jing brought only a select team from the police force. Fortunately, Huaiying County possessed only two locust trees, with just one situated near water. Through their combined efforts, Feng Jing and his team eventually unearthed the USB drive buried at the base of the locust tree.

“Captain Feng, I’ll take the USB drive to the technical department for processing. It appears we’ll be successful this time,” Ji Yu exclaimed excitedly to Feng Jing, feeling his efforts had been worthwhile.

“Everyone, you’ve all worked diligently. You may inform Officer Wu; we should be reaping the rewards soon.”

The contents of the USB drive proved immensely significant. However, Feng Jing was taken aback to discover that while the black market’s mastermind wasn’t Wan Zhe, there was a connection between him and the operation.

Wan Zhe’s brother, Wan Xu, had always projected an image of gentleness and humility, a stark contrast to Wan Zhe. Yet, Wan Xu harbored deep-seated ambitions. He not only exploited the black market for illicit activities and harm but also harbored a consistent desire to seize control of the Wan Corporation from Wan Zhe.

The patriarch of the Wan Corporation was no simple figure either; he had committed numerous nefarious acts in his past. While he outwardly transferred the Wan Corporation to his youngest son, he secretly entrusted the black market to his more cunning elder son.

Xu Rui, as Wan Zhe’s assistant, inadvertently uncovered Wan Xu’s schemes against his brother. He began monitoring the situation, ultimately meeting his demise while gathering such evidence.

Wan Zhe never fathomed that the perpetrator behind his secretary’s demise would be his own brother. Even on the day Wan Xu and his father faced conviction, Wan Zhe struggled to accept that his brother was responsible for these actions. The surveillance device in his office and the near-fatal accident were, in fact, integral parts of his brother’s elaborate plan.

Following the discovery of the USB drive, Yin Tao stayed out of the subsequent investigation until the trial commenced. This significant event, which had rocked City A to its core, rapidly spread its notoriety far beyond the city limits. As a result, Feng Jing's name became recognized by a considerably wider audience.
