The trial of Yu Ling was deliberately postponed until the very end by Chen Yang. Fortunately, the sentencing process in this world was always so cumbersome, which made the other police officers who were familiar with Yu Ling less resistant to the fact that she had voluntarily surrendered.
They also obtained all the victims' information, including the heinous crimes they had committed, but the crime of indirectly causing death is punished very lightly in this world, which is extremely unfair to the victims.
Just as the original owner had thought, Yu Ling was indeed not being condemned too much, and her treatment while incarcerated and awaiting trial was also quite decent.
Just wait patiently.
Of course, it's easy to understand why Yu Ling would want to just die after completing all the tasks. This isn't a world where you can farm survival points. The average lifespan is only a hundred years. Subtracting the original owner's original twenty-six years, even if Yu Ling counts in the longevity phase, she still wouldn't be able to accumulate ten thousand points.
Yu Ling, whose pockets were gradually filling up, didn't even bother with such a small survival point!
Besides, he finally finished the side quest. If he accidentally falls into a trap while trying to complete the main quest and violates some obscure law, no matter how small, his side quest reward will still be lost.
In conclusion, Yu Ling felt that her choice was absolutely correct.
He's a bit of a useless detective.
Yes, Guan Xiujie still can't accept that his trusted 'assistant' is leaving him, and they are now separated by death.
So, while Yu Ling was in jail, he ran around everywhere, reading through all sorts of cases, even wearing out the complete legal encyclopedia that he hadn't looked at since he started working. He also found the victims that the original owner's scum had hurt, all in an effort to get her out of jail.
Yu Ling knew none of these things.
Chen Yang may have heard some rumors, but he neither helped nor stopped them. He also didn't pass the news on to Yu Ling.
However, their long-standing friendship meant that whenever he encountered a difficult or complicated case, he would always consult Yu Ling for a few minutes. (After all, the detective was too busy trying to rescue Yu Ling to care about his old friend.)
Yu Ling was also bored, so she would chat with Chen Yang whenever he came over. She was usually quiet and well-behaved and didn't cause any trouble. She was a breath of fresh air in the police station, and it was hard to imagine that she was a criminal who was about to be sentenced to death.
That day, Chen Yang was to carry out a rather dangerous mission: to go to another province to apprehend a criminal who was smuggling grass. The criminal police team was short-handed, so he volunteered to go along.
Before setting off, he said goodbye to Yuling. This mission had no end date in sight; if he returned late, Yuling might already have been sentenced, or even...
"Didn't you tell Guan Xiujie about something so important?"
Yu Ling also found it strange. When did he appear between these two good friends? They all came to see him, but they stopped talking to each other.
Chen Yang's smile seemed somewhat unnatural:
"You know, ever since you turned yourself in, he's been a completely different person. He's been giving me the cold shoulder, and it's my fault for not..."
Yu Ling didn't think that a protagonist like him could have anything to do, and said goodbye as if it were a normal greeting:
"Alright, your skills may be a bit lacking, but you're not that unlucky. Come back sooner, and maybe you can treat me to a farewell meal."
Both of them thought it was just a normal farewell.
But when Yu Ling heard news of Chen Yang again, the situation turned out to be quite bad...
This was a trap set by the other side to provoke the police. The entire criminal investigation team was wiped out, including Chen Yang, and everyone was captured alive.
However, the other party held many hostages and wanted the goods that had been taken from them.
First of all, that batch of goods has been destroyed by the police.
Secondly, even if it wasn't destroyed, this thing would absolutely not have leaked out of the police force.
In the end, the police were great, but if there was truly no way to save them, then they had no choice but to sacrifice themselves...
Yu Ling learned the news from the young policeman who delivered her food. He probably thought that Yu Ling and Chen Yang were good friends, just like Guan Xiujie and Chen Yang used to be. But upon hearing this news, Yu Ling, who was not afraid of death and was usually calm and collected, actually lost her composure!
What? The protagonist has to die after him!
Does Guan Xiujie know about this?
"I just found out. He's currently discussing countermeasures with Chief Wang."
Could it be that the butterfly effect caused the breakdown in their relationship, leading to the accident? Otherwise, with Guan Xiujie's insight and his amazing sixth sense, he would never have fallen for the trap.
Yu Ling is currently imprisoned and can't do anything except remotely call the system to ask him to rescue the protagonist when the fight breaks out. The system says it will try its best.
".......garbage system."
Left with no other choice, Yu Ling had to rely on herself. She pretended to care a lot about her 'good friend' Chen Yang's affairs and even tentatively asked if she could do anything for Officer Chen since he was going to be sentenced to death anyway.
Then, he was scheduled to have a meeting with a police officer.
"Their equipment is very sophisticated. Even if we pretend to agree to the deal, we won't be able to bring any equipment in. But all our skilled colleagues are... Time is too tight, and we can't find anyone else in time. So, we want you to make the trip."
Yu Ling's reliable image as an assistant was so deeply ingrained, and her appearance was also very deceptive, making her the most suitable candidate.
He agreed almost immediately, without asking about any benefits or conditions, and set off right away.
The leader of the grass-selling den was making a video call to the police, live-streaming himself abusing the hostages. He was incredibly arrogant. He only stopped after they agreed to the deal.
