Chapter 1388: Chapter 1297: Violent Queen 20
Data-driven intelligent life forms are rare; they have always been scarce, and their network utility is immense. Almost every data-driven intelligent life form that has been discovered ends up being taken away by national security departments.
This case with Liu Shuangshuang and Tang Feng capturing this entity was no exception. Once the entity was taken away, whether it was punished or absorbed into the security department, it was no longer related to Special Handling Office No.1.
Before sending off that data-driven intelligent life form, Liu Shuangshuang specifically called over Cai Xinyan to meet her idol. The person and the data entity had a lively conversation.
After that data-driven intelligent life form was handed over to the national security department and taken away, Cai Xinyan was filled with worry and appeared entirely downcast.
Tang Feng patted Cai Xinyan on the shoulder to comfort her: "You don’t need to be like this, the punishment for intelligent life crimes is different from that of humans. Plus, it’s a rare data-driven intelligent life form.
Besides, it didn’t cause any deaths this time. In some sense, those people deserved it. Its sentencing won’t be too severe.
Moreover, it has strong capabilities. Considering all the data-driven intelligent life forms on the internet, the cyber police didn’t even discover it, which speaks to its skills. With that kind of ability, the security department won’t let it go, and its days won’t be too hard."
Cai Xinyan forced a somewhat strained smile: "I just find it unfair. It won’t die, but it did hurt people, and it can’t escape sentencing.
It’s just having it punished for those disgusting people that makes me uncomfortable; those people are morally bankrupt and lack character, they simply don’t deserve it!" Cai Xinyan’s tone ended with some agitation.
Seeing this, Liu Shuangshuang quickly joined in to persuade: "Xinyan, if you’re still feeling unsettled, come join me in crafting this episode’s public awareness program, and let the world know how words can be like knives that kill.
Our Special Handling Office No.1 has quite an influence. If we take the lead in putting out the awareness program, it will surely attract enough social attention. Even if we can’t eliminate the issue, reducing it somewhat is good."
Cai Xinyan nodded, finally showing some smile again. This case had a significant impact on Cai Xinyan because she herself had once suffered deeply from rumors.
With a strong spirit unwilling to yield, Cai Xinyan eventually overcame and carved her own domain, but many people are not like Cai Xinyan; they do not have such a strong spirit.
They cannot withstand the terror of public opinion; in the end, they either commit suicide or spend their lives under the shadow of rumors. They are essentially innocent, and this is profoundly sad, hateful, infuriating, and yet powerless.
Cai Xinyan is very enthusiastic about the public awareness program, busy finding materials and planning the program. She is preparing to modify this awareness into two episodes for thorough coverage.
In the first episode, Cai Xinyan arranged to broadcast the trial scene of that data-driven intelligent life, as this case had caused quite a stir and was closely watched by many netizens for follow-up results.
Initially, everyone sympathized with the victims, but after the program was broadcast, these victims suddenly changed from objects of pity to objects of scorn.
Although they suffered greatly, no one sympathized; almost everyone cheered. Who in this world hasn’t been harmed by rumors?
Even those who spread them have not gone unscathed by them, yet they fail to learn what you don’t wish for others, exploiting rumors to harm people—how detestable!
Although the program didn’t expose the victims’ appearances this time, the case was too sensational, and much of the victims’ information couldn’t remain hidden.
Mainly because the victims had already been reported with real names, requested by themselves, especially since many journalists are well aware of the importance of public opinion.
Initially, they intended to use publicity to pressure Liu Shuangshuang and Tang Feng to expedite the case, leading them to try every means to have family members extensively promote the case.
But now, they have dug their own grave, only to fall into it, bringing themselves under attack; even the hospital’s doctors and nurses look at them with disdain.
The perpetrators’ outcomes are quite unfortunate; however, nobody cares. Their results are self-inflicted and not worthy of sympathy.
When the case concluded, everyone initially planned to gather for a celebratory meal, but the focus on the public awareness program kept them busy, leaving no time for gathering.
Only after the awareness program had completely ended, freeing up many people, did they find the time to gather and dine.
Halfway through the gathering, everyone’s pagers went off simultaneously. Tang Feng picked up his pager, glanced at the cipher text, and sighed: "Another case has come up. Gathering over, everyone head to the scene."
This time the crime scene was in the suburbs, and when Liu Shuangshuang and Tang Feng arrived at the location, the local police had already set up the security perimeter.
Tang Feng frowned at seeing the scene: "The bigger the scene, the harder it is to find evidence. With the security perimeter set so broadly, it seems this scene is indeed too expansive and challenging to survey."
Liu Shuangshuang examined the surrounding crime scene: "Regardless of the difficulty, we must investigate. Let’s head inside first."
Once inside the security perimeter, Liu Shuangshuang and Tang Feng saw why the perimeter was set so expansive—it’s because the crime scene inside is chaotic, with footprints and blood stains everywhere, covering a large area.
"No doubt, this is the primary crime scene. Look at this; the footprints are jumbled, and blood stains are scattered everywhere, indicating the victim was hurt while fleeing." Tang Feng noted to Liu Shuangshuang as he observed the chaotic footprints.
Liu Shuangshuang examined the surrounding marks and analyzed: "Not only that, there exists an absolute power suppression between the victim and the murderer.
Look here at the blood-stained footprints, clearly the victim’s. They always point in one direction, rarely in the opposite direction, indicating the victim was continuously fleeing, never considering turning to fight back.
This is abnormal. Previously, reports said the victim was a physically strong man—the temperament of a man is not like a woman. When faced with danger, many women would be too frightened to resist.
However, a man, especially a physically strong man, when facing imminent death, despite a significant power disparity, would be driven by survival instincts to struggle and fight against the opponent.
Yet the scene here only shows traces of the victim fleeing, which can only indicate one thing—the victim knew he was absolutely no match for the opponent, leaving running as the only escape."
The two continued to walk while speaking, with traces of struggle and escape everywhere, blood dripping all over.
"A cat-and-mouse game—the murderer is toying with the victim, continuously pursuing without killing, merely chasing beside him, leaving the victim in perpetual shock and terror."
