The first time receiving his salary, Luo Fei was in a good mood and went to the market to buy a lot of groceries.
The first thing he did when he got home was to tell Wu Yan that he got his salary, and he transferred four thousand yuan to Wu Yan on the spot, asking her to repay two thousand each to his uncle and aunt.
Luo Fei thought about trying to repay all the debts within half a year, otherwise both the debtor himself and the lender would feel uncomfortable.
For dinner, they had crayfish and scallops with vermicelli.
Luo Hao and Luo Xiaoxiao ate heartily, as seafood was not only rare but ridiculously expensive in Ningjiang County, and they had hardly ever eaten it at home, finding it fresh and delicious.
After dinner, Luo Hao and Luo Xiaoxiao went to do their homework.
Luo Fei watched the news on the sofa for a while, feeling bored, and was just about to go back to the bedroom to read a book, but the next moment, Luo Fei slowly retracted the hand he had reached out to turn off the TV and slowly sat back on the sofa.
At that moment, the news was broadcasting the identities of the 20 A-level wanted criminals released by the Ministry of Public Security.
The next day, shortly after starting work, Zhou Weimin came in.
"Everyone, please put down what you’re working on. I have an announcement to make." Zhou Weimin’s expression looked very serious.
Once everyone turned their attention to him, Zhou Weimin slowly said, "Just received a notification from the provincial Public Security Department; recently, A-level wanted criminal Jiang Sanqiang is very likely to have fled into An Yuan province. The provincial Public Security Department requests all local public security agencies to remain vigilant and monitor Jiang Sanqiang’s movements. If you discover any trace of Jiang Sanqiang, immediately report to the provincial Public Security Department."
"The newcomers might not be very familiar with Jiang Sanqiang, but the old-timers here should not be unfamiliar with him. Of course, if anyone truly doesn’t know about Jiang Sanqiang, you can search online. In short, this Jiang Sanqiang is very dangerous, an extremely dangerous individual."
"So for the time being, everyone should be extra cautious both on their way to and from work, and also pay attention to safety. After all, if Jiang Sanqiang really has fled here, given his heinous nature, he’s very likely to commit another crime."
"If you happen to encounter Jiang Sanqiang by accident, do not act rashly. Don’t entertain thoughts about capturing him for merit. Remember, while meritorious deeds are good, protecting yourself from harm is more important. So if you encounter Jiang Sanqiang, our task is to immediately report to the Criminal Police Brigade and wait for reinforcements."
"I’ll now post the phone number of the Criminal Police Brigade Captain Zhao Donglai in the group chat for everyone to note down, just in case."
After Zhou Weimin finished announcing the news, all the officers below were buzzing around.
"Could Jiang Sanqiang really be wandering into our An Yuan province? This guy is ruthless, killing without blinking an eye, crossing six provinces in six months, committing eleven crimes, with sixteen murders carried out by him alone. If he’s really come to our An Yuan province, that’s truly not good news!" Liu Haiquan immediately gave a rundown of Jiang Sanqiang’s notorious deeds.
Zhang Haiyang shook his head, "It’s possible; this guy has strong anti-surveillance capabilities and is smart and agile, indeed a dangerous figure."
"So the director is right. If you encounter this guy, run. Do not think about catching him for the sake of merit or you’ll die in vain." Liu Haiquan empathized deeply.
Concerning Jiang Sanqiang, Luo Fei happened to see him among the 20 A-level wanted criminals released by the Ministry of Public Security yesterday. He truly was a ruthless felon, standing at 175 cm tall, weighing 70 kg, bald-headed, domicile: Su Province, Tea Garden City, Jinshan District, Wuhu Town, Tianyuan District, Building 12, Unit 130.
Regarding Jiang Sanqiang’s background, Luo Fei also looked up some information online after watching TV yesterday. Jiang Sanqiang used to be a truck driver, owning his own truck, with a young, beautiful wife and a ten-year-old son attending elementary school.
Initially, Jiang Sanqiang’s family lived happily until one day, misfortune struck. First, his wife was diagnosed with terminal cancer. To pay for her surgery, treatment, and chemotherapy, Jiang Sanqiang had to sell his truck and mortgage his house. With great difficulty, his wife’s condition improved a bit, but then his ten-year-old son was hit by a car while going to school, and the hit-and-run driver fled, preventing the child from receiving timely treatment and dying of blood loss.
After his son’s incident, his wife’s condition, which had been gradually improving, deteriorated further, and not long after, she also died.
Consecutive blows made Jiang Sanqiang lose hope for life; initially, he intended to end his own life, but at that time, something changed his mind and led him down an irreversible path.
The hit-and-run driver was quickly caught and sentenced, but he was only given seven years of imprisonment.
This outcome was unacceptable to Jiang Sanqiang; in his mind, life should pay for life, as the hit-and-run driver’s escape led to his son’s death and the loss of his wife, and should be repaid with a life.
He wanted revenge on the hit-and-run driver, but at that time, the driver was already imprisoned, making murder in the prison impossible, so he redirected all his hatred towards the public security and judicial system, believing that it was their leniency that allowed the hit-and-run driver who should have died to survive.
Given this, he decided to retaliate against the public security and judicial system in his own way. "Aren’t you supposed to protect the citizens? Aren’t you supposed to show leniency? Then I’ll go around killing people and see how you protect them. I want you to regret, for showing mercy to that driver who shouldn’t have been shown mercy, causing so many lives to be sacrificed; let’s see if you feel guilty."
It can be said that Jiang Sanqiang’s psyche had become completely twisted.
Luo Fei just didn’t think that Jiang Sanqiang would flee to An Yuan province; although Zhou Weimin just mentioned that it’s very likely, without certainty, Luo Fei thought to himself that Zhou Weimin’s information must come from the provincial Public Security Department, and since they said this, there naturally must be a reason. Luo Fei guessed that Jiang Sanqiang probably had come to An Yuan province, although perhaps Jiang Sanqiang hadn’t formally appeared in An Yuan province, and the provincial Public Security Department didn’t want to cause panic, hence not being explicit.
"If we catch Jiang Sanqiang, will the system reward a lot of Gold Coins?" Luo Fei whimsically thought, though he was merely thinking aloud; besides his capability to catch Jiang Sanqiang, the probability of encountering him, Luo Fei estimated, wouldn’t be higher than winning five million in the lottery.
