Identities

Lian Qiang was waiting in the dimly lighted room as Detective Chan followed, her face a mixture of expectation and determination. The tension was high as the puzzle pieces they were trying to put together started to fit together. Detective Chan cleared his throat before giving the most recent findings. Detective Chan said, looking serious, "Officer Lian, we've got some little important details regarding Yi Han and the founder of the Black Wing Society. Lian Qiang encouraged him to continue by nodding.

The detective gave her the picture of a young man, more clearer than the previous one. Lian Qiang paid close attention as Detective Chan explained everything he knew about Yi Han. She had the impression that there was more to this story than they had first realized.

"Yi Han, he is nine 19 years old and standing at around 5 feet 10 inches tall has the same as height as your client."

"...Yi Han's life hasn't been easy. He grew up in the city with his mom, and they struggled to have enough money. Like you said, because things were tough, he ended up starting his own gang and doing bad things to get by. I tried to interview the people in the place where they grew up but they said they suddenly left for another place."

"...but someone told me that his father was sick so he needed a lot of money. It is said that his father's disease is cancer."

Lian Qiang gave it some thought. "He did making his own group, then, to support his family and especially his dad who was ill."

Detective Chan nodded. "Exactly, Yi Han did such things because it appears he was desperate to aid his father, who has cancer and requires expensive care.

Detective Chan was explaining about the details she wanted to have about Yi Han. Lian Qiang looked so serious "While his intentions may have been a good reasons, we can't ignore the fact that they have been involved in illegal actions, so it's important that we find him. Aside from that, I will ask him if he had some connection with Black Wing Society once we hunt him down."

Lian Qiang thought about what happened last day when they got to the mall and about that masked guy. "I actually found a masked guy who happens to be following us when we were about to go home at that time."

"What's masked guy are you talking about?" The detective asked in confusion.

"I found him inside the school when we were about to step inside the car to go home. He was wearing a black mask and couldn't identify him because of that." she elucidated.

"But we should set that aside first Detective. Let's first work to where there is important information that has a possible way to capture that notorious group."

Detective Chan nodded and handed her a small passport-sized identification picture of an old man that was printed on a paper. Lian Qiang took the photo and studied it carefully. Detective Chan stated seriously, "This is the Black Wing Society's founder. Zheng Yin, who has been identified as the mastermind behind an organized criminal activities in the city."

As Lian Qiang observed the image, the pupils in her eyes gets bigger. "Are there any updates on him, or any possibilities as to where he might be right now?" The detective shook his head in disappointment that they couldn't locate the base of this notorious group. "But we will make way for that."

She nodded. "I think they are avoiding us now."

The detective also nodded and said, "Although the information we got wasn't even perfect to capture them but at least we've managed to uncover some of their identities, though we still have a long way to go."

"...For now Officer Lian, we still don't have any information about if Yi Han and that notorious group, if they both had connection with each other."

She nodded but there was a doubt inside of her that's impossible that both of these don't have any connection. She thanked the detective as she was about to go outside and head straight to the shooting range.

There, she found Zhang Jin learning how to shoot.

A girl was standing behind him, teaching him how to aim at the target properly. She was a member of the Orphan Mission. Lian Qiang could feel something different from what she had witnessed, but she chose to ignore it.

She thought that this guy didn't even care about this type of activity. She believed he was only here because he was forced to come. However, he seemed different when she noticed his eagerness to learn about shooting. He was equipped with shooting gear.

She continued to watch them for several minutes, observing the young man's shooting skills. She noticed that he lacked a proper stance while aiming the gun at the target. She offered to the girl, Ling Xue, that she will be the one to teach him. Ling Xue suddenly appeared with a pouted face.

"That's not how you do it," she commented when Zhang Jin couldn't perform properly. His gaze shifted towards her.

Approaching him, she began to adjust the gun in his hand, saying, "Try closing one eye and keeping the other one open. Your hand should be steadier and less shaky," she continued.

"Go ahead and shoot," she commanded, and he promptly obeyed.

The loud noise of the gunshot echoed inside the shooting range, causing Zhang Jin to flinch as it was his first time experiencing this type of activity in his entire life. "Look, I did it!" he proudly exclaimed, a hint of a genuine smile on his lips as he stared at her.

Lian Qiang scoffed and bore a bored expression while looking at him because he had only hit the hand of the target, not the red part. "No, you haven't. You should be aiming for the red part of the target," she explained. She begin to teach him about what are the basic position to shoot the target very well. However, she feels a bit of unease while teaching him.
