Good Man Operation Guide

The hatred in her eyes grew deeper and deeper, “Zeng Longhai did it in secret, but he couldn’t hide it from me. As soon as I checked, I found out that he was indeed transferring his assets. Perhaps he wanted to divorce me a long time ago, but he was afraid that he couldn’t fight for custody of his daughter. Now that he had another child, he naturally wanted to get rid of me.”

“When his career was in crisis, if I hadn’t helped him through it despite my health, how could he have been as prosperous as he is now!? Used and thrown away, what a good scheme!”

“Didn’t he want to usher in a new Mrs Zeng, a new child? Then I’ll make him kill them with his own hands and watch the Zou Mingfang who wants to replace me die in his restaurant!"

Lin Shiheng was not affected by her intense emotions and simply asked in a methodical manner, “Why didn’t you run away after you killed someone?”

“Run?"

Zhang Mei snorted, “She was the one who tried to destroy my family; why should I be the one to run?”

“Besides, I didn’t anticipate that the body would be found so quickly, nor did I expect that you, the police, would actually think of my hot pot restaurant. I carefully studied the structure of that lighting and the place where the body is placed deep inside, so it was difficult to remove. When you do, it’s likely that only the inside layer will be removed. As long as the full structure isn’t removed, I would be safe.”

“So, you came down to care about Zeng Longhai that day when our colleagues were investigating the Dragon Sea restaurant; you actually only wanted to make sure that we wouldn’t take down the whole lighting in order to investigate the case.”

“That’s right."

At this point, Zhang Mei didn’t have to hide it, “How could I possibly care about Zeng Longhai? If I didn’t do this, I wouldn’t look at him even if he died."

“The lighting is difficult to remove, and if you decide to take it down, I would have had plenty of time to take my daughter and leave. After confirming that you weren’t taking down the whole thing that day, I put my mind at ease and continued to operate my restaurant. However, I never thought that you would be able to track me down without taking down the lights."

“I was prepared when I knew you were going to the hotpot restaurant. There were two options in front of me. One, do nothing and wait for your results. If you don’t find out, stay in peace. If you find out, I will be taken away.”

“Second, while still free, take care of Zeng Longhai and make sure he never has another child in his life. He is a philandering and old-fashioned man who values blood, and if there’s only one bloodline left in my daughter, he will treat her well. However, if I’m just taken away without making Zeng Longhai a eunuch, he will certainly treat his daughter coldly if he has another child later on, without me to protect her."

“For the sake of my child, I can’t take any chances. So, I gave him some drugs and cut that thing off of him so he could never make another child that would threaten my daughter.”

Zhang Mei had done her calculations well. Since she decided to kill Zou Mingfang, she was following her plan step by step, like a spider preparing for a hunt. First, she made the web and then patiently waited in the middle of the web, waiting for the prey.

When she failed, she also took quick steps to prevent her daughter from being left out in the cold after her imprisonment.

She would have been an admirable woman if her meticulousness hadn’t been focused on killing.

“Did you put Zou Mingfang in the lighting box solely so that she could be killed by Zeng Longhai himself when he turned on the electric switch?"

“No.”

Zhang Mei laughed.

“There’s another reason why. If Zou Mingfang hadn’t fallen by accident, she would have stayed up there until the body was rotting, growing maggots and stinking. Only then would someone have noticed that there was something in the lighting fixture.”

“This was the kind of job Zeng Longhai would usually arrange for Zhang Hua to work on. I just want him to watch the woman he liked become stinky and ugly with his own eyes.”

“Incidentally, Zeng Longhai runs a restaurant. Having someone die there is nothing. but if a rotting corpse were found in the lighting above, he wouldn’t have any customers coming to this restaurant even if it was popular before.”

That said, she also had some regrets, “I didn’t expect Zou Mingfang to just fall like that. I thought that lamp had a decent weight limit. Now that I think about it, it was quite a scare. If she had fallen while she was still alive, then I would have been tossing and turning for nothing."

“But luckily, it was a corpse that fell. and I still won.”

Zhang Mei’s expression was one of triumph and satisfaction. Shui Wei’s hand was rapidly taking notes, and when she had finished, she placed her pen down and raised her eyes to look at the woman standing behind Zhang Mei.

Her eyes were staring blankly ahead, water still dripping from her body.

“A little piece of information for you..."

After thinking about it, Shui Wei continued to say, “Zou Mingfang’s autopsy report didn’t show that she was pregnant."

“She’s not pregnant at all."

The smile on Zhang Mei’s face froze.

She was meticulous and methodical, and this time she made a move because Zou Mingfang threatened her daughter’s status.

Between herself being found out and her daughter, she chose her daughter.

Even if the police find out, she was confident and didn’t panic.

This was a necessary sacrifice for her daughter. If she hadn’t done that, her daughter, who should have gotten everything, would have lost everything.

But now, Zou Mingfang wasn’t pregnant at all.

So, what did she do all that for...?

Zhang Mei was still in a trance when she was taken out of the room.

Maybe Zou Mingfang was making up lies to trick Zeng Longhai so he could pressure Zhang Mei to get Zhang Hua. or maybe she was angry that Zhang Hua had been taken away from her and was deliberately going against Zhang Mei.

But no matter what the truth was, Zou Mingfang was dead, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Shui Wei glanced at the place where Zou Mingfang had been standing. but she had disappeared.

Somehow, she had a feeling.

As long as the case was solved and the real murderer was caught, the ghost wouldn’t follow her anymore.

Moreover, as long as she held Leader Lin’s hand. she wouldn’t feel that severe coldness that could almost freeze people to death.

After the case was closed and the group was paralysed with exhaustion, Shui Wei pulled Lin Shiheng out and quietly told him what she had found.

“And I found that Zou Mingfang’s spirit doesn't react to the outside world or attack at all. She doesn’t even speak. She just keeps on following me, and when the case is solved, she vanishes."

“But I have this lingering feeling that I’m going to come across something like his again."

“That’s okay."

Lin Shiheng’s face was expressionless as he analysed, “If a corpse follows the case when your investigation is going on, it hasn’t decomposed yet. It will be convenient for the progress of the case."

“Yes!"

Shui Wei’s eyes also lit up, “And I’ll be fine as long as I touch Leader Lin, and it won’t hurt me at all. When there’s a case, everyone has to look at the photos and autopsy reports, but I’ll have this corpse with me. It’s just like those gold fingers in novels! This is my gold finger!”

(TNote: Gold finger= originally a gaming term meaning a 'checit code’. In the novel world, a gold finger usually means having plot armour/a character always having stupid good iuck/or having an item that always saves them someway somehow from anything bad.)

The excited Shui Wei happily took Lin Shiheng’s hand, “Leader Lin, don’t you think so?"

“No."

Lin Shiheng locked eyes with the confused girl. and his magnetic voice faintly rang out.

“I’m your gold finger."

Shui Wei gawked at the serious expression on this beautiful face, and her face turned a little red.

“Yes, that’s right."

Compared with carrying a corpse around, of course, carrying a handsome guy was more like a gold finger!

The case was solved quickly, and the higher-ups approved the funds for a dinner party for the group. Everyone simply gathered like last time and found an expensive restaurant to eat and drink at.

Incidentally, a little announcement was made about Lin Shiheng’s relationship with Shui Wei.

In the past few days, although everyone was busy investigating the case, they could see a lot of clues. Once the news was announced, except for some colleagues who usually weren’t very observant of others, everyone else looked as if they had predicted it.

After a round of congratulatory banter, a colleague jokingly said, “Leader Lin, on a good day like this, don’t you want to give Ah Wei a gift?”

No one expected Lin Shiheng actually to have a gift, and to their surprise, he actually brought one out.

When they opened it. a group of colleagues who were excited and curious to see what Lin Shiheng had gifted her winced.

“A pair of... shoes?”

“Hmm.”

Lin Shiheng didn’t seem to see the look on his colleagues’ faces that said, ‘Ah, we really shouldn’t expect Leader Lin, a loner, to give anything romantic’, but solemnly handed over the shoebox.

“It looked like you wanted it badly the other day.”

Shui Wei took the shoe box and opened it. It was indeed the pair of shoes that she had once said she would pay half a month’s salary for when she was investigating the case.

“Thankyou.”

She looked up and looked at her boyfriend cheerfully.

“Is there any other gift I can get besides the shoes?"

Lin Shiheng agreed with a serious face, without hesitation.

In the next second, Shui Wei stood on tiptoe and gave him a soft kiss on his left cheek.

“Wow!!!"

“Ah Wei! Well done!!"

On that day, almost all the policemen who barely slept that day had a good time.

After confirming their relationship, their pattern of spending time together was no different from before. They continued to investigate cases together every day, researching the killer’s flaws together and running around together.

Colleagues from the Seventh Precinct had been transferred away and transferred in, but Lin Shiheng and Shui Wei were always there.

After a long time, the two even got a nickname.

The crime-solving duo.

Because they always moved together and always solved cases very quickly, Shui Wei, who people thought wouldn’t be able to keep up with Lin Shiheng’s pace, was more impressive than many people thought and actually kept up with her boyfriend’s extremely fast pace.

It’s just that they were always inseparable, and even when they went on business trips, it was either both or neither of them.

Naturally, no one else knew what this was about and just chuckled at their good relationship.

During an investigation, the murderer found out that something was wrong and went on a killing spree. Lin Shiheng blocked in front of Shui Wei. His gun was dropped from the building, leaving him to face the knife-wielding murderer unarmed.

As it turned out, although he was known for his crime-solving abilities, he never left his combat skills behind. After exchanging blows, he pinned the killer to the ground with some bruises.

The injuries he sustained were minor, but they terrified Shui Wei, who had always been great at comforting herself. She sat in the car, holding her boyfriend’s hand and crying so hard that she nearly made her colleagues who had arrived think that Leader Lin was about to die.

Fortunately, just before they misunderstood, Lin Shiheng, who was lying on his back, suddenly sprang up with a serious question, “Is my face hurt?"

Shui Wei was crying, not quite understanding why he was asking that, but still shook her head through her tears.

“That’s good."

The man, covered in wounds of all sizes, was visibly relieved.

“I promised I would protect this face."

The Colleagues: “Huh???”

Lin Shiheng, who wasn’t seriously injured, still got a vacation.

He and Shui Wei took advantage of this rare time off to have their wedding.

The crime-solving duo continued to solve crimes without incident until they were old enough to retire together.

In their lifetime, they had worked on countless cases, finding killers for the deceased and punishing those who had gone unpunished, witnessing sorrow and joy and seeing the cruelty of time.

Fortunately, they were always together.

After her retirement, Shui Wei never saw the spirit of the deceased again, but she had long since become accustomed to being in the same place as her husband all the time.

At the age of 65, she died first, and Lin Shiheng followed.

At last, a happy ending.

[Ding! Task completed. Please host choose 1. vacation 2. continue the mission.]

[Continue the mission.]

Lin Shiheng could smell a burnt odor before he could open his eyes. He slowly opened his eyes and began to receive memories.

Hmm, food?
