Hello Mr. King

Chapter 33: Justice and Selflessness

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Up to this point in the story, the heroine only had three shots. The first shot was before Xu Kang went out and was promoted to become chief inspector. Her gaze was clear, quietly and elegantly fixing Xu Kang’s collar and encouraging him.

The second shot was during the second murder case. Xu Kang took some time to go home. Upon seeing his daughter doing her homework seriously, he held back his weariness and chatted with his daughter for a while. There was only comfort and care in her words to her father. She was a well behaved child that all the police officers liked, and everyone praised her.

The third shot was when Xu Kang was handling the cases and didn’t go home. She made soup and brought it to the police station personally to visit her father.

Since the next day was the weekends, Jia Hui insisted that she wanted to wait for her father there. The police officers didn’t suspect a smart child that they watched growing up even one bit. No one saw her dark, sinister loli-like [1] smile.

However that night, another person died. Jia Hui murdered this person on the way to delivering the soup. Of course, she had already found her target and done a lot of arrangements before murdering the person.

This time, it was an elderly woman. Similarly, there was an exquisite gown, high grade red wine, after that another member of the investigation team received a photo.

The investigation team had a total of eight members. If every person were to receive a photo, then this person wanted to kill eight people!

This time, the cause of death of the deceased was found to be carbon tetrachloride, carbon tetrachloride catalyses ethanol [2]. During early inspection, it could be mistaken as alcohol poisoning, but it could only confirmed after intensive examination on the liver.

Xu Kang was so busy, although more and more clues and analysis would narrow the scope to the murdered, they could not lock onto a target.

Jia Hui still continued to deliver soup to her father every night. However, she thought it was uninteresting as this group of people were too stupid. So when she murdered the fifth person, she would wear a bright red ribbon on her wrist every time she visited.

If there was anything in common of the few deceased, it was the bright red ribbon on the gown. For men, it was on the bow tie, for women, it was either on the belt or dress accessory.

She was so obviously hinting to them that she was the murderer. She also repeatedly told the police who received the photo, “You’re so stupid.”

However, no one realized. Before killing the sixth person, she sent them a photo first, giving them time to rush to the scene.

But they were still too late. Although she managed to successfully escape this time, the details she exposed were really too much. Especially when she tied a red ribbon to deliver soup to Xu Kang that night.

Xu Kang felt like his eye hurt looking at the red on her wrist. On the next day, he saw a blurred silhouette of his own daughter. Even if it was blurred, he could clearly see it, but was unwilling to accept the fact.

When Xu Kang went home and saw the silhouette of his daughter completing her school work, he felt terrified. He chatted with her probingly.

Jia Hui realized that her father who managed to become chief inspector finally reacted. However, it was as if she had never done anything. Her eyes were still so clear and innocent. Xu Kang decided to take his daughter to see a psychiatrist. Even in deep hypnosis, Jia Hui remained innocent.

This made Xu Kang regret. His clever daughter asked him on the way home, “Dad, are you suspecting that I’m the murderer?”

Xu Kang was ashamed and didn’t look directly into his daughter’s eyes, so he missed her dark and sinister loli gaze.

Jia Hui asked again, “Dad, if I’m really the murderer, will you arrest me?”

Xu Kang, who originally brushed off his doubts began to look directly at Jia Hui, and very righteously told her, “As a policeman, Dad won’t let any criminals go unpunished.”

Hearing this, Jia Hui already planned to have a showdown with Xu Kang, “What about aunt?”

Xu Kang’s eyes widened incredulously, locking with his daughter’s ironic gaze. His hands began to shake.

He hadn’t even answered before his daughter’s ironic gaze dissipated and regained their clarity, “So, my mother is dead…”

This sentence stabbed into Xu Kang’s heart like a sharp dagger.

When his wife died, his daughter was only six years old. She remembered it so clearly!

Xu Kang’s wife died because of a criminal that he arrested wanted to take revenge on him.

The criminal originally kidnapped Xu Kang’s wife and daughter to be hostage, wanting to run away. Naturally Xu Kang didn’t allow that to happen, which enraged the criminal. Jia Hui’s mother died to save her.

That night, the mother daughter duo were wearing exquisite evening gowns, planning to attend Xu Kang’s promotion banquet. She resisted and didn’t say that she had a high fever, hoping her father would see his prettiest daughter, but all that came was her mother’s tragic death, and her father’s cold blooded ruthlessness.

After that, all the police and even her relatives were telling her not to hate her father. Her father was a policeman. If he let criminals escape, more people would end up losing their mothers like her.

At the time, she also convinced herself that way. She lost her mother, so she was always proud of her father.

It was until her aunt committed a crime. Her grandmother knelt in front of her father, begging him. She thought he would be selfless and righteous.

But the ugly reality slapped her in the face. It was at that moment that a devil sprouted in her heart.

It turned out that being righteous and selfless could be picked. She and her mother just weren’t important enough to her father.

Seeing him become the chief inspector, she felt ironic. Since he said she was the most important person to him, she would personally expose his hypocritical face to the world.

The last person to receive a photo was Xu Kang. It was a photo of Jia Hui. Sixteen year old Jia Hui wasn’t as tender as when she was six years old, but she was wearing an exquisite dress with the same style as the one she wore on the night she was kidnapped ten years ago.

Jia Hui used herself as a trap for Xu Kang. In the end, Jia Hui lost. She was sent to prison personally by her ruthless father.

A month later, Xu Kang gave Jia Hui evidence. He was not the reason his sister was released. Rather, someone had received a bribe and framed Xu Kang.

Later, Xu Kang volunteered to become a prison guard. He said, “Huihui, dad loves you. I didn’t get to spend much time with you. From now on I’ll accompany you every day.”

After reading the script, Yun Xiangxiang’s tears fell involuntarily. She grieved for the father’s greatness and his persistence to upkeep justice as a law enforcer. Furthermore, she deeply sympathized Jia Hui.

If her father wasn’t a policeman, she wouldn’t have lost her mother so terribly as a child. Would she have become an intelligent child with her family’s companionship?

Her tragedy stemmed from the particularity of her father’s career and from the loneliness that she had no one to talk to.

“You are the first person to see the emotions in this script at your age.” At this time, vigorous voice sounded out.

Yun Xiangxiang looked up and saw that a guest had arrived. It was an elder that looked about fifty years old.

Han Jing introduced, “This is the scriptwriter for the script in your hands. You may call him Teacher Wu.”
