Half an hour later.
The body of a boy was dug out from behind the grove of trees at the police station.
The boy was covered in scars, and just one look at him made people unable to bear to look at him a second time.
No matter whether they were newcomers or veteran police officers like Li Mu who had been handling cases for many years, everyone present couldn't help but tear up.
They had been handling cases for so many years, but this was the first time they had seen such a young victim in such a miserable state.
The victim's family members who received the news rushed to the scene, but after just one look, they burst into tears uncontrollably.
"My son...how can I live with you..."
The heart-wrenching cry moved everyone present.
The child's mother had been crying since she saw the child's body and almost cried herself to death.
Although the child's father did not cry out loud, he hugged his wife tightly and gritted his teeth, his eyes were frighteningly red.
Ever since the accident with the child, her hair turned white overnight.
He looked much older, and his lips trembled when he spoke.
"I'm sorry, it's Mom and Dad who failed to protect you and let you get hurt like this..."
Lu Zhaoning looked at the mother of the child who had fainted from crying and said softly:
"Please take care of yourself. If you, as parents, collapse, who will remember your children?"
Although her voice was soft, it was like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of everyone present.
From the moment they received the report, they knew that even if the case was solved, it would not be easy to get a result.
"Aunt, uncle..."
Zhou Wei, the policeman who took the lead in digging up the bodies, felt angry when he saw the two people crying heart-wrenchingly.
He is a policeman, but he cannot get justice for his cousin.
"Awei, your brother died so tragically..."
Zhou Wei opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word of comfort.
He felt no less upset than his aunt and uncle.
That very sunny cousin who wanted to be a firefighter will never be able to fulfill his dream.
From then on, he slept forever, and his family could never get over it.
[System, is it true that such a tragic case will not receive the punishment it deserves?]
Lu Zhaoning originally only knew that someone had dumped a corpse here.
I just learned the truth of the case through system gossip and online searches.
She didn't know what she could do, but she really wanted to do something.
Some people are born black, regardless of their upbringing.
[Host, Tongzi can't do anything about it, but...]
Is there really no way?
Lu Zhaoning's voice was slightly cold. She understood what the system meant, and it was clearly not a tone of "there is no solution."
The system chuckled, its voice carrying a hint of temptation; [Host, do you really want to punish in your own way?]
【……yes!】
The system's tone became serious: [Tongzi can meet the host's request, but fifty health points will be deducted.]
【Fifty... health points?】
Lu Zhaoning made the sound of a screaming chicken. All her health points added up to less than fifty.
[Host, have you made up your mind? ]
Lu Zhaoning gritted his teeth: [Without health points, I'm about to be wiped out. How can I change? ]
[Hehe, since you, the host, are trying to help others, Tongzi can overdraw your health points for you. As long as you earn enough health points to make up for it within the specified time, it will be fine.]
Lu Zhaoning looked at the follow-up on the gossip system and saw that the victim was verbally insulted by the perpetrator at the funeral, forcing the child's mother to jump off the building and commit suicide.
She couldn't bear it anymore.
【Change!】
The next second, Lu Zhaoning's eyes went dark.
If she hadn't been quick enough to hold onto the tree, she would have fallen to the ground.
The system is indeed not a joke.
She now owes five life points. If she cannot earn more than five life points within 24 hours, she will disappear from this world.
"God damn it, what does your child's death have to do with our children?"
"Catch the thief and the stolen goods. You say our baby killed someone. Do you have any evidence?"
"Why don't you parents reflect on whether your children have done anything wrong?"
…
Lu Zhaoning looked at the parents who rushed in.
Everyone was dressed brightly and beautifully, but everyone had a ferocious look on their face. They rushed in and started cursing at the parents who had lost their children.
The curses were all in the local dialect, and if the system hadn't translated it in real time, she wouldn't have understood what was being said.
"You...you aren't afraid of retribution?"
When the victim's mother woke up, she heard harsh insults and was so angry that her whole body was shaking.
"retribution?"
I don't know who laughed.
Someone immediately sneered, "Your own son died, and you want our child to be buried with him. Isn't this retribution for you?"
"Everyone else is fine, why is your son the only one in trouble? Maybe it's just his personality problem."
“You…you guys…”
The victim's mother was so angry that she couldn't speak and could only cry silently.
"No matter what, we believe in justice."
The victim's father hugged his wife, and he was so exhausted that he no longer had the energy to argue.
"Then you should quickly tell the police to release my baby. My baby is timid and picky about food. He must have not eaten well in the past few days."
The victim's father's anger was ignited, and his whole body seemed to be on fire.
"Your child is a precious one, a timid and picky eater. What about my son? He was brutally murdered by your beast. How can you have the nerve to say such things in front of us?"
"How...how do you speak?"
The victim's father glanced at Li Mu and said coldly, "If the law can't bring justice to my son, then you better keep an eye on your little bastards, or I will never let them go!"
"Officer...Officer, you heard it. He is threatening us."
"As the people's police, why don't you arrest them? What if they endanger our personal safety?"
Li Mu looked at the parents who were making unreasonable demands, his face looked terribly cold.
He has been handling cases for many years and has never seen anyone so shameless.
Not only did they fail to educate their children well, but they acted arrogantly in front of the victim. Did they really think that the laws were made by their family?
If the law cannot give justice to the victim, Li Mu is unwilling to wear this police uniform anymore.
"All of you, be quiet!"
Zhou Wei has been trying to comfort his aunt and is extremely disgusted with those beastly parents.
"Don't worry, the law will not let anybody slip through. The darkness will be dispelled, and light will finally arrive!"
Lu Zhaoning held the victim's mother's hand and said in an extremely firm tone.
“Thank you…thank you!”
Having seen so much darkness, the victim's mother was extremely grateful even though she knew it was just comfort.
Even if it was just verbal comfort, it was enough to make her feel relieved.
