Why it never ends

Chapter 162

"Okay, I thought you would open your mouth like a lion... I hope you will send me another 'Hesta'," Stella laughed, "If you can let me really meet Hesta , I can send you another headline... Will she come to Tan Yi soon?"

"……Why do you ask?"

"You said she was excellent before." Stella blinked her eyes. "Now that there is such a big problem here, I thought you would transfer her to cooperate with your work?"

Chiba laughed, but did not answer.

The two chatted and walked downstairs to Stella's studio. Chiba and Stella stood together in the shadow of the corridor to avoid being spotted by passing patrol cars.

"It seems that your news is not very well-informed this time. Rich, Schmidt, and Tanglar all insisted that the murderer was Hesta. Fortunately, she has not been active in the third district recently, and the suspicion has been cleared automatically."

As Chiba spoke, she called up a photo on the phone, which was the message the murderer left for Schmidt in the photo album last night.

"The signature is 'Red Velvet'. I think this person is here to set the blame on Jane, but I saw the murderer himself last night. He should be a man."

In the dark, Stella quickly finished reading the text message.

"I think...the murderer is most likely to be a woman."

"how do you know?"

"Qianye, has anyone ever told you that sometimes you are really unreasonably slow?"

"...?"

Stella smiled and returned the phone to Chiba, "I can't explain it to you. If you really can't figure it out, just take it as my intuition as a reporter... Goodbye, I have to go upstairs to work."

Qianye waved at Stella, "Goodbye. You are too hardworking."

Stella had already taken a few steps up the steps, but she turned her head when she heard this sentence, "If you don't work hard, you will get married in the future. I don't want to become a woman like Valenti..."

Qianye shrugged noncommittally, "I don't care about any conflicts between your sisters, in front of me, you should be more polite to your sister."

"Oh, she's a very important friend of yours, isn't she?"

"What do you think?"

Stella smiled, "Then you'd better persuade her to get married and stop thinking about having children."

In the darkness, Chiba took out a cigarette from her pocket, and the flame ignited from her fingertips.

"Whether she gets married or not, and whether she has children is her freedom... It's not up to me to take care of it."

Stella seemed to have guessed Qianye's answer, she didn't refute, but just lowered her eyes and said, "...don't care about anything now, then you have to be prepared to lose her in the future."

"What do you mean?" Qianye frowned, "This is not a wasteland, it's just to have a baby, not to kill chelates. What's more, she is a mercury needle working at the base. If something goes wrong, our medical technology will help her." end--"

"Ms. Chiba," Stella tilted her head, "Do you really think that only 'death' can take away your dearest friend?"

……

At two o'clock in the morning, Su Lei returned to his apartment.

She went straight to the desk and sat down, and wrote down all the news she heard from Stella tonight in her notebook.

After finishing the preliminary record, Su Lei looked at the time, and it was almost three o'clock.

She had to go to the police station at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, so she should be sleeping anyway, but she could clearly feel the blood vessels on her forehead jumping.

Su Lei turned on the computer and quickly found the official website of last year's Children's Rights Promotion and Protection Conference in District [-]. Most of the workshops and conversation titles were still there. She flipped through it and found Rishi's speech. .

The video lasted for 24 minutes, and Su Lei played it as the background sound of washing.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today we need to discuss a heavy topic, which is so heavy that some friends here may even find it ridiculous.

"As we all know, in the past ten years, child welfare in the Third District has grown unprecedentedly. We strive to ensure that every child has a nutritious and balanced diet, has equal access to education, and most importantly- — We strive to make every child free from any form of exploitation.

"Everyone, everyone, don't applaud, the last point, have we really achieved it? At least, have we really managed to keep every child away from the issue of 'sexual exploitation'?"

When talking about all this, Rishi's voice was amazingly contagious. His words contained both sorrowful pity and heartbroken urgency. Even though Su Lei was brushing his teeth, he couldn't help but walk into the living room. look at the picture.

Rishi on the podium wore gold-rimmed glasses and dressed as a gentleman.His brows were furrowed and his hands were spread out, as if to embrace a painful question in his arms.

In short, the handsome Rishi on the screen was completely different from the panic-stricken middle-aged man she had seen in the past few days.

Su Lei brushed his teeth gradually slowed down.

In the video, Rishi's voice suddenly became harsh:
"According to survey data from the Third Region Coalition Government Congress for the Promotion and Protection of Children's Rights, one in 27 children or young people in the Third Region have experienced some form of sexual abuse in the past year: underground *trading, incest,* molestation... …in 70-85% of all relevant cases, children knew the person concerned, and about 90% of violent cases were not reported in time.

"Shocking... I can only say it is shocking! To this day, there are still many families in the third district who ignore the real welfare of children for religious and conceptual reasons, and choose to conceal the incident after the incident, and the same The psychological trauma of the victim was also pushed into the water, and the perpetrator just got away with it—”

When Rich's voice and his feelings were about to reach their peak, Su Lei turned off the video, and at this moment, the murderer's text message to Schmidt suddenly broke into her mind:

Before it happens, I'm a well-intentioned warning

When things happen, I'm the perpetrator I can't control

After the incident, I was a critic who hates iron and steel.

Rishi's voice made her sick, and she didn't want to hear it any more.

Si Lei sat at the desk, brushed the mail aimlessly for a while, and when she recovered, she turned on some soothing music and went into the bathroom with her pajamas in her arms.

Everything related to the case was still lingering in her mind.

Does that letter really only represent the murderer's intimidation?

If the story Stella told tonight is true, the "I" in the letter seems to be more in line with what Rishi himself did, but the murderer sent the letter to Schmidt...

Could it be that all these nobles who appeared on the murderer's death list have a common crime?

Su Lei is not sure, but if the answer is yes, then this letter obviously has a deeper meaning: the murderer is reminding each of his hunting targets that today, just like in the past, the offense and defense have changed— ——The former hunter became the prey, and all the retribution is unhappy.

In the steaming mist, Su Lei remembered the letter again:
never trust me,
never offend me,
Never show your weakness to me.

From your birth to your death,
I'm always watching you,
I'm always looking for opportunities...

All the clues were intertwined in Si Lei's mind, gradually converging into a blurred face of a red-haired woman.
