Chapter 5: How Many Years in Prison?
When the netizens in the live broadcast room heard the conversation between Jiang Xiaoya and the cleaning lady, their eyes widened, and then they stared at the live broadcast screen, no matter where they were, they all took out their phones and started frantically calling people.
“Hey, remember how I told you today about that trash picker who found the murderer’s discarded remains twice? She might have found something again. Hurry to the live broadcast room.”
“Right, right, right, and this time it’s right outside the Public Security Bureau. I ask you, isn’t that exciting? Isn’t that unexpected?”
“What homework are you still writing? Stop writing, hurry to the live broadcast room, quick, quick, quick.”
“…”
In an instant, the number of live stream shares surged, and the usually smooth live broadcast room experienced a momentary lag.
The netizens who had been squatting in the live broadcast room, suppressing their pounding hearts, had their brewing emotions interrupted and started cursing.
“Lag, lag, you motherf***er, you’re affecting my live stream, you motherf***er $%#@%&”
Netizens who had just entered the live broadcast room saw the pitch-black screen and felt their hair stand on end. Just as they were about to type on their keyboards to ask the streamer what had been discovered this time, they saw Jiang Xiaoya cautiously approach the garbage truck, take out her phone, turn on the flashlight, and illuminate the pitch-black garbage truck. The netizens clearly saw the bag of blood-stained black plastic on the garbage truck.
“Ah!!!”
“Exciting!!”
“The murderer’s discarded remains!!”
“Jiang Xiaoya killed someone!”
“Jiang Xiaoya must be the murderer!”
“Case solved, case solved. Jiang Xiaoya is the murderer. This is a self-directed and self-acted murder case!”
“Are those human tissue remains in the plastic bag? So scary!”
“…”
The live stream’s bullet comments exploded. Netizens frantically typed on their keyboards, and the timid ones directly told their parents to watch the live stream with them.
“It’s her, this girl who looks disheveled and dresses sloppily. She found the murderer’s discarded remains three times, and this time it’s right outside the Public Security Bureau.”
“Found it three times?”
“Exactly, that’s what I want to say. If she’s not the murderer, how could it be such a coincidence that she found the remains three times? She must be the murderer.”
“Oh my, you can’t judge a book by its cover. She looks so small and thin, yet she killed someone and discarded the body. Scary, scary.”
…
Jiang Xiaoya called the police, her face numb.
Damn, she suspected the system had set her up.
The police arrived very quickly. First, they collected fingerprints, then they stepped forward to open the black plastic bag.
“It’s a human liver!”
Someone exclaimed, and the scene fell into momentary chaos.
Jiang Xiaoya leaned in for a look, then ran to the side and vomited.
The netizens in the live broadcast room also saw what was inside the plastic bag.
The originally mystical netizens collectively gasped in surprise.
Although they all guessed that Jiang Xiaoya might have found remains again, seeing the plastic bag opened and the contents revealed still shocked them.
“Holy crap, holy crap, it really is remains, and a human liver!”
“There seems to be half a cooked lung inside too?”
“Too brutal, so scary!”
“It’s over, it’s over, I’m definitely going to have nightmares tonight, ah!!!”
“Who is it?! So cruel!”
“Didn’t everyone say Jiang Xiaoya killed the person? Why don’t the police officers hurry up and arrest her? Are they going to let her continue committing crimes?”
“She even dares to stand by and watch. Her mindset is unusually terrifying.”
“From the first moment I saw her, I knew this Chun Jie was a ruthless person.”
…
If Jiang Xiaoya knew her reputation was out there, and this kind of reputation, she would probably raise her hands and shout, begging netizens to let her go, not to spread rumors or believe them.
How terrifying could she be? She was just a pitiful person toyed with by fate, no, by the system.
After various comparative results came out, the public security officers confirmed one conclusion.
Jiang Xiaoya was not the murderer.
“The victim’s identity has been confirmed. He is from out of town and usually works at a construction site, rarely interacting with others. Jiang Xiaoya has no connection to his life or social circle. The victim’s time of death was two days ago, at which time Jiang Xiaoya was still live streaming picking up trash. There is video playback in the live broadcast room, providing sufficient alibi. It couldn’t have been her.”
“But how can it be such a coincidence in this world, so many coincidences, the same person, different locations, finding the murderer’s discarded remains three times…”
“Wu Lun, there are many strange people and things in this world. That is not a reason to convict someone.”
“But…”
“Enough!”
The man standing in the middle tapped the table, stopping the two from arguing further.
“Now that the remains have been collected and the victim’s identity confirmed, I believe the murderer will be found very soon.”
“As for Jiang Xiaoya… she is not the murderer, but still, send someone to keep an eye on her, just in case.”
“Action, meeting adjourned.”
With the captain’s order, the case team immediately set off and split up.
At this time, it was early morning, and most of the live broadcast audience had left, but there were still many night owls staying in the live broadcast room.
In fact, as soon as Jiang Xiaoya entered the police station, they waited with nervous hearts, just like Jiang Xiaoya’s family, concerned about her safety, er, safety.
They were curious about the outcome.
Can Chun Jie come out?
Is Chun Jie a murderer?
How many years will she be sentenced?
These were the most frequent questions in the bullet comments.
They wanted to know, they wanted to get the hot scoop.
When they saw the figure swaying out from inside, they were still a little disbelieving.
They looked again to be sure.
Under the lens of the program group’s most advanced global sky-eye technology, the girl was seen rubbing her neck, looking tired, and swaying out of the Public Security Bureau hall.
Who else could it be but the Chun Jie they were waiting for?
“Out so fast? Cleared of suspicion? Oh, interesting, there’s an inside story, there must be an inside story!”
“She’s counting money!!!”
“I know this, it’s 2000, the Public Security Bureau’s reward for the remains!!”
“What do you mean, she earned another 2000? I work myself to death and I’m not even as good as a trash picker?”
“Damn, is she really innocent? I don’t believe it.”
“How come I feel like her posture while counting money is a bit arrogant?”
“Brother, I just love seeing you like this, can’t stand it, can’t do anything about it.”
“Holy crap, alright, Chun Jie really has some tricks up her sleeve. This life is really getting more and more promising.”
Jiang Xiaoya collected the reward money and walked out of the Public Security Bureau again. It was already early morning.
She yawned, rubbed her chilly arms, her face filled with exhaustion.
When she reached the entrance, she saw someone squatting there, who seemed to hear footsteps and suddenly stood up.
Jiang Xiaoya froze for a moment, the day’s murder case flashing through her mind, and she immediately let out a scream.
“Ah! Help…”
Zhou Yuyu quickly stepped forward and covered her mouth, her gentle expression unable to hide her panic.
“Xiao Ya, it’s me! How could you even forget Sister Yuyu?”
Zhou Yuyu’s anxious gaze.
Jiang Xiaoya had touched human remains in plastic bags twice in one day. Although she had washed her hands, she still felt dirty, and then this person covered her mouth as soon as they met.
What’s wrong with Yuyu?
Even birds can’t stand it!
