Ch94.1 - Requesting for Assistance (1/2)
In the cafe, Xiao Yujun turned on her laptop and in the subfolder of the “November Topic Case Record” folder, there was an untitled compressed file that was about 300MB.

Xiao Yujun said, “I hadn’t found it when I got my laptop back yesterday. I only noticed it when I wanted to start working on my documents in the morning. I remember that you copied it with the rest from a USB; it can’t be opened, is it yours? Why didn’t you name it?”
Yu Hao, “It’s not……”
Zhou Sheng said, “Sure enough, that kid’s IQ is seriously scary.”
“Ou Qihang put this on here?” Xiao Yujun asked.
Fu Liqun didn’t know what was going on and only listened at one side without interjecting. Yu Hao turned the laptop screen around, opened up the compressed file, and a ‘input password’ popup appeared.
Zhou Sheng smiled, “Well, this is gonna be fun.”
Xiao Yujun said, “What’s this?”

Xiao Yujun wasn’t fully aware of the details regarding this matter, but she had a vague idea from her earlier inference. As for the information, password, and set up that Ou Qihang had prepared, Xiao Yujun was completely unaware.
Xiao Yujun’s laptop has only been accessed by two other people aside from herself — one was Ou Qihang, the other was Yu Hao.
Yu Hao said, “Why did Qihang do this?”
“This is his gamble.” Zhou Sheng said, “Gambling on the chance that we’ll help him. Don’t contact him now.”
“Un.” Xiao Yujun said, “Yesterday, his mother told me that he had already gone home. He must be closely monitored now; if we contact him, we might also end up under surveillance.”
Yu Hao frowned, “What’s the password?”
Yu Hao, “???”
Xiao Yujun looked at Yu Hao in surprise. Zhou Sheng got up to buy coffee, “Take a guess? If you get it right, I’ll cook something good for you tonight.”
Yu Hao, “How could I?! I don’t even know how many characters there are in the password! Even winning the lottery has better chances than this ba?”
Yu Hao looked at Zhou Sheng, who was ordering coffee at the counter.
“What if I can’t get it right?” Yu Hao said.
“I’ll still cook for you.” Zhou Sheng turned back and said.
Only then did Yu Hao stop worrying, no, the most important thing now was the password!

Fu Liqun said, “Is this evidence?”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Yu Hao said, “Yes, but I have no idea at all……”

Zhou Sheng said, “Drink a cup of coffee and calm down ma, I’ll call Officer Huang over now?”

Xiao Yujun said, “My judgment? I’ve been deceived so many times though, but……I do really want to trust him.”

Yu Hao didn’t really understand. “Why did you say that?”
“Huang Ting’s superior wants to bury this incident ba?” Fu Liqun turned the laptop towards himself, “Does this kid want to ask for your help to keep things moving?” As he spoke, he said to Yu Hao, “If Huang Ting listens to his superiors and takes the laptop away, then there would be no point in looking for him.”
Yu Hao understood now. Zhou Sheng brought back the coffee and gave each person a cup. Xiao Yujun didn’t ask why they brought Fu Liqun along. Since Zhou Sheng had allowed him to accompany them, she thought that he must be a very good friend of theirs.
“Call him ba.” Xiao Yujun said.
Zhou Sheng took a picture, “I’ll send him a WeChat message, if he doesn’t see it, then forget it.” As he spoke, he took a picture of the laptop screen and sent it to Huang Ting. Huang Ting replied in seconds, “Wait for me.”
Yu Hao, “You didn’t say where we are.”

“He can tell at a glance from the cafe in the background.” Zhou Sheng said casually, “Jun Jie, come, let’s talk first. What do we do? Do we help him?”
Xiao Yujun said, “We have to find a way. The public account isn’t with me, that kid’s really……”
Xiao Yujun didn’t hesitate at all between ‘helping’ or ‘not helping’, and instead went straight to ‘finding a way’. When Yu Hao heard this, it was as if his understanding of Xiao Yujun was renewed. Zhou Sheng and Fu Liqun looked at each other. Zhou Sheng nonchalantly grasped his cup and took a sip, while Yu Hao was still wracking his brains over the password. But he knew that Zhou Sheng already knew it, so it wouldn’t matter much even if he couldn’t guess it.
Not long after, Huang Ting arrived and had apparently just woken up. He frowned as he looked at Fu Liqun, “You’re here too?”
Fu Liqun said, “I’m just here to watch, don’t mind me.”
Huang Ting didn’t know whether to cry or laugh for a moment. He pulled the laptop closer to glance at it, then looked at Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng. “The bureau did an analysis of your conversation once, including the surveillance video. No password was found hidden in the dialogue.”
Zhou Sheng said, “And you even said that ‘no one wanted to lower themselves to the level of a high school student’. A group of old and crafty detectives got played around with by a kid, no one would believe it even if you tried to spread that.”
Huang Ting said, “There are many detectives who get played around with by criminals in this world, but everyone often forgets this one sentence——”
Yu Hao was still thinking about the password, but at this time, he looked at Huang Ting.
Huang Ting said these solemn words in all seriousness, “Justice has a long arm. Got it? Setbacks are temporary; going around in circles is temporary too. As a detective, one must always believe in some things — that is, in our insistence. As long as we persevere in this insistence, then there will come a day where the clouds will disperse to reveal the sun.”
Everyone, “……”
Yu Hao thought, that was so well said!
Xiao Yujun looked at Huang Ting with an appreciative gaze. Huang Ting continued, “That’s why I fervently hoped that Ou Qihang could get bail pending trial. I have no right to try him, but if it was up to me to evaluate him, I’d say that I admire this kid very much. Yujun, do you really want to get involved in this?”
