After more than a week of detention, Merinda confessed the hiding places, including the places where the children were sold and the clubs where the abducted girls were resold.
This time, the police in City Y saved many trapped teenagers, seized many case-related clubs, KTV, and foot bath shops. They rescued nearly 200 children.
Everyday parents came to the city police station to look for their lost children. Those who didn't find their children didn't give up. Instead, they went on to another place with pictures of their children in their hands and tears in their eyes.
Those who found their children burst into tears. So in the last week, loud crying, either from the parents or from the children, could be heard every day. And every morning, anonymous banners, flowers, and even red envelopes, in which brand-new banknotes were enclosed, were sent to the police station. There was also a note saying, 'Thank you very much!'
Yesterday, only Ferne attended the awards ceremony of the Municipal Bureau. He stood on the stage, saluted the police officers, the crowd, and the cameras. He then spoke into the microphone, "You also deserve a share of this glory."
Ferne looked into the camera as if he was looking at the person on the other side.
Everyone looked at each other, wondering who he was referring to.
Ferne finished his speech, saluted, and went down. The police officer guessed that this was the second time Ferne had confessed and came out in public.
Noah had planned to leave. But Christy moved to live with Trevor, so Noah canceled this plan. Then, Ferne moved into Noah's tenement. So Noah didn't know what to do now.
Emily called and knew Noah planned to live in City Y for a long time. Emily also asked him what he wanted to do, but Noah had no idea.
He said, "I thought that I would chase after these bad people all my life. However, I had no idea what to do after they were all caught. Captain Randy called me and told me to attend the police academy. He promised me early graduation and to transfer me to the city police station after I study there for a year. I refused."
"Why?" Emily asked.
Noah smiled mockingly. "Because I found that even if the bad guys were caught, it was still useless. They still have a chance to come out. Evil people always have a chance to atone for their sins, but good people always deserve to be blamed. Do you know that this world is unfair?"
Those words somehow haunted Emily. She was restless in the office the whole afternoon.
'This world is unfair.'
Why was it so touching?
Because this was also what she thought.
Noah's words were finally verified by Vincent.
"It's a little hard to bring Branden to justice. He has some relationships." Vincent said in a low voice.
Emily moved her head slightly and looked up at Vincent, "Can a criminal escape punishment just because he has a wide relationship?"
"Emma is an example." Vincent stroked Emily's long hair with his slender fingers. "Don't worry. I just give you an example to tell you that people with great backgrounds can't be restrained by any law. Even if they are, they still have plenty of opportunities to escape."
Emily's heart sank.
"It is Branden, not Emma who is wrong. Branden harmed many young girls. How can he not be punished by law? No wonder Noah has given up the chance to be a police officer." Emily's voice became lower and lower. "Noah really looks forward to a new life."
Vincent looked down and did not say anything.
Emily whispered, "Mr. Vincent, I suddenly find this world too terrible. I know that bad people have committed crimes, but I can't do anything."
Vincent hugged her and said, "There's a way."
"You know what to do?" Emily turned around immediately and asked him face to face.
It was getting hotter and hotter. Emily no longer wore her furry rabbit pajamas. Instead, she wore pink piggy pajamas. At this moment, two thin shoulder straps slipped down due to her twisting, exposing one of her round shoulders. Under the dim lights, she looked sweet. Down there was a white patch, and a ditch winded into the pajamas...
Vincent pulled the quilt up to tuck Emily in.
"Have a good sleep. Leave it to me." He kissed her in the eye and said, "Good night."
Emily hooked Vincent's neck and kissed him for a long time. Then she pushed him away, hurriedly turned around, and said, "Good night."
Vincent, whose sexual desire was aroused, could only stare at Emily's back. After a while, he let out a long sigh.
Guard A: "Why is it so quiet?"
Guard B: "I don't know."
Guard C: 'Wait.'
Guard D: "Don't wait. Maybe he has premature ejaculation."
The other guards outside the window were shocked and speechless.
