Chapter 370: Chapter 377 Lin Qiong’s Discovery

As for Xu Shanshan’s participation in such an event, Xu Yingying naturally had no objections. Previously, it was because Shanshan always hung out with those unconventional youths.

"My dear big sis, can I borrow my brother-in-law for a bit tomorrow?" Xu Shanshan swayed Xu Yingying’s arm, wearing a look of flattery.

Xu Yingying hesitated for a moment and said, "It’s an event organized by your school. Wouldn’t it be inappropriate for your brother-in-law to go with you?"

Xu Shanshan immediately said, "Cui Yueying has already said that we can bring a partner."

Only then did Xu Yingying say, "Well, let’s have your brother-in-law go with you. By the way, didn’t you say that you also fancied a guy? Why aren’t you taking him along?"

Xu Shanshan giggled and said, "I don’t fancy him anymore, I kicked him to the curb a long time ago."

Xu Yingying gave Xu Shanshan a sidelong glance and said, "I knew you were fooling Mom."

Xu Shanshan said proudly, "I don’t have your skills, bringing back a fake brother-in-law first and then turning him into a real one. I need to make sure before I bring someone home."

Li Yifei then called the two to dinner. As they approached the dining table, Xu Shanshan excitedly said, "Brother-in-law, my sister agreed. You have to come with me tomorrow."

Li Yifei said with a chuckle, "Sure, if Shanshan commands, I dare not refuse."

Being with Xu Yingying and Xu Shanshan, Li Yifei truly felt a sense of home, and spoke with them quite casually.

That night, during an intimate moment with Xu Yingying, Li Yifei wanted to get a condom but found that the ones he had bought yesterday were missing. He asked Xu Yingying, "Did you pick up the condoms I bought yesterday?"

Xu Yingying, who was fine with the intimacy, still felt somewhat embarrassed directly speaking about such things. Blushing, she said, "Yesterday, you only brought back the medicine. I didn’t see the ... condoms you mentioned."

Li Yifei thought for a moment and said, "They must have been dropped along the way."

At this moment, Xu Yingying, already in high spirits from Li Yifei’s attentions, gently pushed him and said, "If they’re lost, they’re lost. We’ll buy more tomorrow. Tonight ... I’ll still take the pill."

Li Yifei of course wouldn’t fret over a lost box of condoms, and not using condoms felt even better. Using them instead of pills was actually for Yingying’s health, as after all, medication has its side effects, and continuously taking contraceptives isn’t good for one’s health.

While Li Yifei hadn’t paid much attention to this box of condoms, Officer Lin had kept a close watch in her heart. She had already sent the contraceptives to the City Bureau’s technical department to have fingerprints compared.

If they had been left by the mysterious individual, his fingerprints would definitely be on them. By then, comparing them in the fingerprint database could possibly reveal the true identity of this mysterious person.

Lin Qiong always felt this mysterious individual must have a normal identity. Since he was in Mile City, he couldn’t possibly live without eating or drinking. She wanted to find out what kind of person he was in everyday life.

However, Lin Qiong had not shared this matter with anyone, nor had she reported it. If the identity of the mysterious person were exposed, it could greatly affect his life. Moreover, given that the mysterious person had killed before, if his actual identity were to be found, it would be quite troublesome.

As a mysterious figure, he seemed free of legal responsibilities, but as an ordinary person, he should face legal consequences. Officer Lin, despite knowing it was wrong for the mysterious person to have killed, didn’t want to arrest him since he had helped her so much.

Fingerprint comparison isn’t particularly difficult technical work. After the technicians extracted fingerprints from the box, they input them into the computer for matching.

But the result surprised Lin Qiong, yet also gave her some relief, because they hadn’t matched the fingerprints of the mysterious person.

Although Huaxia had a fingerprint database, not everyone’s fingerprints were stored there. It’s an immense foundational project. Typically, fingerprint comparison involves matching fingerprints collected at crime scenes with those of suspects, and some individuals with criminal records also have their fingerprints on file.

Finding no fingerprints meant that this mysterious person had never been recorded in criminal files before, at least proving he was someone with a clean background.

Lin Qiong asked the technicians to remove the extracted fingerprints and didn’t keep them in the database, but she made a backup for herself.

Having been aided by the mysterious person several times, each time at her most perilous moments, Officer Lin knew he was either constantly shadowing her or was someone very familiar to her, allowing him to show up so timely. Therefore, she still planned to covertly collect fingerprints from those close to her, to see if they might belong to the mysterious person.

Thinking carefully about the people around her, Lin Qiong’s first thought was actually Li Yifei. While the appearance of the mysterious person was completely different from Yifei’s, the stature and profile seemed quite similar. Moreover, Li Yifei was quite capable in a fight, and most crucially, Lin Qiong still didn’t know the extent of Li Yifei’s fighting skills.

The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed, Lin Qiong’s heart was unspeakably excited. If Li Yifei really was that mysterious figure, and if she still had that sort of relationship with Li Yifei, then it made perfect sense for Li Yifei to help her.

Li Yifei had stayed at her place numerous times, and seizing the competency expected of a police officer, Lin Qiong started to search for Li Yifei’s fingerprints in her own home.

However, it had been quite some time since Li Yifei had visited, and any fingerprints he might have left before had essentially been covered up by now. She really couldn’t find an appropriate fingerprint to use.

Digging out her phone, Lin Qiong didn’t care whether Li Yifei was asleep or not and directly dialed him.

At that moment, Li Yifei was deeply engaged in the most wonderful activity between husband and wife with Xu Yingying, making the ringing of the phone particularly grating.

He had intended to ignore it, but Xu Yingying reached out, grabbed the phone from the nightstand, looked at the caller ID, and snorted, saying, "It’s your policewoman lover calling."

Before he and Xu Yingying were officially married, Li Yifei had told her that he had been involved with Lin Qiong. At that time, he just wanted Xu Yingying to back off, but now it had turned into leverage against him. He could only give a dry laugh and said, "That’s in the past, let’s continue."

Xu Yingying didn’t hesitate to answer the call and then put the phone to Li Yifei’s ear. Li Yifei was suddenly speechless and could only say, "Officer Lin, what’s up so late? I’m asleep."

Lin Qiong was not concerned with that and hurriedly said, "Li Yifei, come to my place right now."

"How about no? What time is it anyway? What do you need from this elderly lady?" But inside, he was secretly praying that this grand lady wouldn’t spout nonsense.

"What could I possibly need from you? I’m lonely by myself, and I want you to come over and keep me company."

Li Yifei immediately felt Xu Yingying’s fierce glare and a pain in his waist. He chuckled nervously and attempted to cover up by saying, "It’s the middle of the night. It’s not good for us to be alone together like this—a single man and a single woman."

Normally, Lin Qiong would have understood that Li Yifei wasn’t alone, but at this moment, she was so eager to get Li Yifei’s fingerprint that she could hardly wait and didn’t catch the hint in his words. She barked, "A single man and a single woman are perfect for you to be up to no good! Li Yifei, after being with me, I didn’t make you take responsibility. Now I’m asking you to come over, do you dare not to?"

Li Yifei’s face darkened immediately. Now that Lin Qiong had said it, there was no way to cover it up anymore. He gritted his teeth and could only say, "Lin Qiong, let’s not bring up the past, alright? I’m now... I’m married to Yingying."

"So what if you’re married? I don’t care whether you’re married or not. I want you to come over, so you’d better come over... What? Did you say you’re married?" Lin Qiong was throwing her weight around when her tone suddenly shot up several octaves.

That piercing sound nearly deafened Li Yifei. He moved the phone away, and when Lin Qiong’s shouting stopped, he brought it back to his ear and said, "Lin Qiong, really, I’m with Yingying right now, and moreover... we’ve gone to sleep. I really can’t go to your place now."

"Beep beep..." Suddenly, a busy tone came from the phone; Lin Qiong had actually hung up on him directly.

"Well, well, she’s seeking you out in the middle of the night. Seems like it’s more than just a fling, huh?" As soon as Li Yifei put down the phone, Xu Yingying spoke with narrowed eyes. Although there was a smile on her face, her sharp gaze made Li Yifei feel utterly weak.

"Yingying, you know about Lin Qiong and me. Can we not dwell on the past?" he said.

"I haven’t dwelled on your past, but what’s this situation now?" she asked.

"This... I’ve just made it clear to her, haven’t I?" he replied.

"Really? How come I feel like someone wasn’t very firm in his statement?" she remarked.

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "Wife, it’s not that I’m not firm; it’s just that Lin Qiong and I are still on good terms. Even if we can’t be lovers, we can still be friends, right? No need to be so stiff."

"You wish. I think you just want to keep a backup plan. Keeping your red flag flying at home, while colored flags flutter outside," she said.

Li Yifei immediately sat up straighter and said, "I’m not that kind of person. With a wife like Yingying, I have all I need." As he said this, his hand began to caress Xu Yingying’s body again, and his body restlessly began to move.

Even as they spoke on the phone, the two had not separated. Li Yifei’s movements made Xu Yingying struggle, freshly experiencing this feeling and completely without resistance. "You bastard, don’t think... you can get away with this... jerk, hmm..." she protested.

By then, Li Yifei had pulled out all the stops, driving Xu Yingying to the peak time and again. A woman newly married could hardly withstand such methods. Once Li Yifei finally stopped, Xu Yingying was completely limp, closed her eyes, and quickly drifted off to sleep.

At last, he’d managed to preoccupy Xu Yingying temporarily from asking about Lin Qiong, though he too was quite exhausted. If it were not for his extraordinary stamina, he would have been worn out by now. Holding Xu Yingying, he too quickly fell asleep.
