Chapter Thirty-Eight: Clothed Beasts
Edward pounced on his wife and children, but did not reach them, only to see his wife and daughter hit by a telephone pole, while his son was entangled in the wires and, after a tremble, closed his eyes as well.
"Open your eyes, my dear! Don't do this, don't leave me......" Edward cried out in pain, crying as he continued to give artificial respiration to his wife and children.
Everyone present wept, and some of the warm-hearted people wanted to help Edward up, because anyone with a discerning eye could see that his wife and children were dead, and no matter how much they tried to save him, it was impossible to come back to life.
One of them lifted Edward up, but he heard Edward's screams, and he fainted.
When everyone looked at it, it turned out that Edward's ribs were broken, and the broken ribs even pierced the skin and exposed from his body.
An ambulance arrived and carried away all the injured, including Edward's family, of course.
Leng Yun looked at the TV, nearly 20 hours had passed since the accident, but almost all TV stations in the United States were constantly rebroadcasting this scene.
The news was accompanied by a moving headline: "No one was hurt that night except Edward." ”
The news footage flashed with all the images of Edward taking his wife and daughter to the celebration: including the image where he said he wished he wanted to spend more time with his wife and children, the image of him kissing his wife and children, the image of him reading to the children who attended the celebration, and of course, the image of him saving many elementary school students in an emergency.
Of course, the picture of him rescuing his family with a serious injury and still not giving up is also repeated over and over again, the kind of reluctance to his family, the desire for a miracle, I don't know how many American people have been touched.
Leng Yun turned off the TV, shook his head and said: "If we don't know that he is related to the 'King Maker', we will also think that he is a person who loves his family, loves life, and can give up his own interests for the benefit of the public......"
Hu Fei'er gritted her teeth and said, "How can this person be so vicious? For his own sake, he even had to sacrifice his family! ”
Momei shook his head and said, "Is that really the case?" How do I think there won't be any coincidences? Is it really all arranged? ”
Gaia said, "I don't believe it, but I can hear Edward's heartbeat, and although the sadness is real, there must be some other emotions, he must have known that this was going to happen!" ”
"Since the accident, this Edward has been in the spotlight, his selfless character has been widely disseminated, and I believe that if the polls were conducted, his support numbers would be amazing!" ”
"But, but......" said Momay, still in disbelief, "but you see, you see, he is so dedicated to rescuing his wife and children, is this all pretended?" ”
Leng Yun said very sadly: "Mei, I know you have a hard time believing it, but I also think that all this is arranged, we are going to start the investigation now, and I need you to help me hack into the police database." ”
Mo Mei nodded, but he could see that he was unwilling to accept the reality in front of him, because for a woman, it was too terrible for a man to be so scheming.
Lin Xiu pointed to Edward's resume on the big screen and said: "This guy was the president of the student union when he was in high school, and when he was at Stanford University, he was not only a top student but also the director of the college student science and technology entrepreneurship center, and he was already a member of the county council when he was studying for a master's degree and a doctorate. ”
Mo Mei sighed and said, "Fortunately, Leng Yun is not such a man, you go to the scene to investigate, I am here to help you search for clues on the Internet." ”
Leng Yun took Lin Xiu, Hu Fei'er and Gaia to the scene of the accident in makeup to become agents of the Secret Service.
Leng Yun saw that in the place where Edward's wife and children died, a lot of flowers were placed, and a little girl also put a little bear puppet among the flowers.
A reporter asked her, "Honey, why are you putting a puppet here?" ”
The little girl burst into tears, and she said, "It's that sister, she pushed me away when the telephone pole was about to hit me, so I only had a bruise on my knee, but my sister was gone." ”
This interview was then broadcast on a loop on major American television networks, and I don't know how much popularity it accumulated for Edward.
Leng Yun knew that the sister that the little girl said was Edward's daughter, and Leng Yun also saw the scene of Edward's daughter pushing the little girl away.
Leng Yun clenched his fists, he also hated himself a little, because things happened too quickly at that time, he was not able to use the red force field shield to save others, and could only watch people die in front of him.
Leng Yun even felt that if he could be stronger, not only could he thwart the conspiracy of the Reaper Society, but even Edward's wife and children would not have to die.
Leng Yun suddenly felt a burst of warmth in his hands, and it turned out that Gaia used both hands to hold Leng Yun's hand that was clenched into a fist.
Gaia said, "God, your heart is beating so fast, your blood circulation and breathing are out of order, are you angry now?" Don't be like this, you are not to blame for everything that happens. ”
Hearing Gaia's words, Leng Yun felt a little better in his heart.
Hu Fei'er slapped Leng Yun the back and said, "Leng Yun, you give me some spirit, it's useless to feel self-hatred here, hurry up and find clues and avenge that poor wife and child!"
Leng Yun smiled and said, "Your slap is a little painful, but it reminds me of one thing." ”
Several girls looked at Leng Yun, and Leng Yun said: "At that time, the reason why that little girl was in that dangerous position was because she was pushed. In other words, if no one pushed her, she would not have been saved by Edward's daughter. ”
Lin Xiu nodded, rubbed her face, and then showed a very kind smile, she walked up to the little girl's mother, and said, "Madam, although I know that it is out of place, but we are from this accident investigation team, and I hope to ask your daughter a few questions." ”
As soon as this woman heard that Leng Yun was a member of the Secret Service to help Edward investigate the accident, she readily agreed, and she led her daughter and Leng Yun and the others to a relatively secluded place.
Lin Xiu showed a smile that the child liked very much, she squatted on the ground, and became about the same height as the little girl, such a height could best relieve the child's guard. said: "Little sister, my sister is here to investigate the affairs of Mr. Edward's family, are you willing to help my sister?" ”
The little girl nodded sensibly.
Lin Xiu gently touched the little girl's hair, but Leng Yun could see that Lin Xiu had applied some kind of hypnosis to the little girl.
