After the recollection, time returns to 2020 today, the sky outside the café window is also gray, Kane looks at the mist, the past seems like yesterday, and the nightmare is the same.

It was precisely because of the blow that the case brought him that he had to work hard and progress later, so that his psychological profile of criminals reached the point of perfection.

"The road to honor is not paved with flowers." He sighed. (Note: Quoted from the Divine Comedy-Dante.) ）

Peter's eyes were a little hollow, and he seemed to be deeply shocked by the case. Although he had always dealt with demons, he had never seen a child commit such a horrific crime, just for 'fun'.

"What happened to those two children?" Peter asked.

Kane sneered, shook his head slightly, and recounted the aftermath of the incident to him. On 1 March 2011, the Royal Court formally opened its hearing. Nearly 700 demonstrators gathered outside the courtroom to demand a heavier sentence for the killers.

In the courtroom, the two children sat in elevated chairs and remained virtually silent except for the charges of murder, kidnapping and attempted kidnapping, all of which he denied.

During the trial, Kane and his university professor, Dr. Erin, confirmed that they were "fully capable of distinguishing between right and wrong" after giving Jon and Robert a series of ability judgment questions.

Richard, the prosecution's lead lawyer, successfully overturned the presumption of "child incapacity" against Jon and Robert through Erin's conclusions. Erin also pointed out that Robert himself developed PTSD after abusing Benjamin Jr.

The judge found the two guilty of murder, kidnapping and attempted kidnapping on the basis of evidence and 21 hours of recorded interrogation, and that their actions were "cunning and very bad".

The court sentenced the two men to at least 10 years in prison and imposed specific acts that they could not do after their release, such as being barred from returning to the county where the crime occurred for life, and not being able to communicate with each other for the rest of their lives, and they must undergo regular examinations.

Since then, newspapers have collected 28,000 signatures for a petition to increase the sentence, and the State Department has been forced to intervene in the case, and the sentences of the last two have been increased to 16 years. Later, because the two behaved well, their sentences were reduced to 9 years.

Kane picked up the bottomed black teacup, sighed and said, "Now that I think about it, the two of them should also be released from prison, is it really good to put such a demon back into the world?" ”

Peter did not speak. It is often said that if you do something wrong, you can be forgiven if you can change it, but Peter knows that this is only an excuse for the devil, and the devil will never truly repent, and even the consequences will be endless.

There is beauty and darkness in this world. There are many more examples like this, from evil spirits who rush into kindergartens with knives, to beasts that follow schoolgirls to rape and then kill, and hypocrites who make their fortunes by dismantling the organs of innocent people.

They no longer have humanity, they no longer have a fence in their hearts, they do what they want, without scruples.

Such a person is the most terrifying, you never know if he will copy a knife and slash at himself in the next second, and you don't know when he will release his beast nature. And what they have to do is to nip these people in the bud.

Kane said: "I'm deeply aware of my own shortcomings, and I'm blinded by subjective emotions, and if the two patrolmen hadn't spotted the little girl in time, I don't know if she would have ended up like little Benjamin." ”

"After that, I turned down the FBI's invitation and continued my studies at various universities, and finally came to Hanning."

Peter frowned and asked with some confusion, "I can understand that you have been hit and want to start again, but why here?" ”

"The dumplings here are delicious, the rice and Sichuan food are good, and I don't have to worry about being shot on the street."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and after a brief moment of relaxation, Kane regained his sharp gaze.

"And the fact that there is a death penalty in this country gives me some comfort. For the devil is not enough to sympathize, nor enough to be inspired. ”

He leaned back on the couch and looked at the time on his watch, put his hands on his lap, looked Peter in the eye and said, "Okay, I'm done with what you want to know, it's your turn." ”

Peter paused for a moment, then asked with a puzzled expression, "What?" ”

"Don't play stupid, Peter, I want to know what kind of conditions that that chick has put forward for you to make you willing to give up a chance to get promoted and make a fortune."

With an embarrassed smile on his face, Peter asked rhetorically, "Uh.... Isn't it said that a good person tells a secret? ”

Kane: "Yes, I said mine, now it's your turn. ”

Peter: "Oh oh! Wait a minute, didn't I just say mine? ”

Kane: "When did you say that?!" ”

Peter spread out his hands as if he had been wronged.

"Oh! Oh my! I admit your speculation, isn't it enough to have a relationship with that chick? Isn't it fair that I say once, you say once? ”

"Oh... Peter. Kevrey, you're such a bastard. Kane rubbed his trigeminal nerve, he had expected this to happen.

"Thank you, I'll treat you as if you're praising me." Peter replied with a grin.

Then there was a text message prompt on his mobile phone, he clicked on the text message and smiled, got up from the sofa and said, "I still have something to do, so I will leave the detective first." ”

With that, Peter pushed open the glass door and left the café. Kane looked at his back and smiled meaningfully.

"Sir, this is the strong coffee you ordered, please use it slowly." The waitress said in a fluent English accent.

After thanking him, he took the cup of espresso in front of him and sniffed it, and said self-deprecatingly, "Who said I would only drink black tea?" ”

At night, in an old warehouse in the west of Hanning City, a group of scoundrels and thugs are gathering, almost forty people, all of whom are well-known local bullies. They came here for one purpose – revenge.

After a light rain during the day, the air was filled with the fishy smell of rust, mixed with the smell of a bunch of old smoking guns, which was extremely unpleasant. Just as everyone was chatting with each other, a yellow-haired little brother ran from the door to the boss.

"Brother Shui! Found it! That little lady opened a bar on the pedestrian street near Handa, and she must have run away! ”

Brother Shui jumped down from the chair happily, his appearance was very funny, his face was blue and purple, it seemed that he was beaten by Ji Xuan last time.

"Great! My brother suffered a lot of grievances that day, and I'll give her all the back today! He threw aside the ice pack on his face and shouted loudly to his younger brother, "Sixth son! Come here! ”

"Hey! Brother, you say! The younger brother approached him very respectfully, his face full of flattery.

"Put the one behind the warehouse... Those tiger chairs are here! When those little girls are caught, they will all be tied up! Let the brothers have fun casually! ”

When the boss finished speaking, the group of people all laughed evilly, and their eyes showed a longing look, and their saliva was about to flow to the ground.

Huang Mao couldn't help laughing and said, "Hey!! It's done! Let's talk about big brother first, I want to be the first to go to the little girl who was planted in the vase that day! ”

"Okay~~ No problem!!"

The scoundrels were talking and laughing, and they were there blowing cowhides to each other as if they had succeeded, precisely because they were all dreaming and did not notice in the slightest that there was a dark figure squatting on the iron beam under the ceiling.

“.... Heh..."Gu Chenxi was wearing a battle suit, looked at the yellow hair and sneered and said, "Then I'll be the first to beat you in a while." ”

He checked the new gear on his lower wrist - blinding strobe. It was a black bracelet with three miniature flashes in the middle.

The principle is similar to the light used by psychologists to hypnotize patients, with a little blue white light and an appropriate flickering frequency, through visual stimulation, people's senses can not respond in time like skipping frames.

"Turn off the lights." The suit was equipped with an intelligent voice system, and with Gu Chenxi's order, the blind spot system loaded on the motorcycle outside the warehouse was activated, and the power supply line of the warehouse was burned out with microwaves.

"Huh? What's going on? A group of people were startled by the sudden blackness and chattered, "Second brother, go and see if the fuse is broken again?" ”

Gu Chenxi closed the blindfold of the mask, turned on the thermal imaging function, and smiled slyly.

"Second brother! What's going on?! Huang Mao shouted anxiously.

"Fuck! The fuses are all broken! ”

"Huh? Depend on! Huang Mao scolded helplessly, walked to the side, took out a cigarette and smoked it. He inhaled hard as the cigarette butt ignited a spark, and the nicotine violently stimulated the cranial nerves, which drove him crazy.

Huang Mao exhaled the smoke comfortably, and he looked up at the ceiling, and vaguely saw a dark figure squatting on the beam. He squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully for a moment, and suddenly! A white light lit up in the dark shadow's eyes, staring at him viciously.

"Holy! What ..... that," Huang Mao exclaimed, but before he could finish his sentence, the black shadow jumped down from the beam and slammed down on him.

The surrounding thugs all panicked, and Brother Shui tentatively shouted: "Sixth son? ”

As soon as they finished speaking, a metal orb rolled down the ground towards them in the darkness, and the orb came to the foot of the center of the crowd. Just as they were all wondering what it was, the orb exploded with a thud, and the tinnitus buzzed, and the white light almost blinded them.

Taking this opportunity, Gu Chenxi turned on the blinding strobe in his hand and rushed towards them.

There was a medium-sized thug standing at the table not far from him, Gu Chenxi ran towards the man, grabbed him by the collar with his right hand and jumped at the same time, slamming him on the glass table, and the fragments exploded.

Gu Chenxi shuttled through the crowd, the light on his wrist flashed so much that people couldn't open their eyes, the strobe was the only light source in the dark, and the frame skipping picture made people mistakenly think that they had seen the whereabouts of the night demon, but in fact, it was just a shadow left in the last second.

The thug next to him was very irritated by the light, he took out his knife and stabbed at Gu Chenxi. Gu Chenxi quickly turned sideways, rolled up his calves at the same time, and used a scorpion tail swing, leaning on the side of his foot to kick the man's face.

Another thug rushed at him, club in hand. Gu Chenxi skillfully dodged the attack, and then slammed the man's chin with his right elbow, followed by a heavy punch that sent the man flying a few meters away.

He hit hard, and every blow hit the most painful place, the lower abdomen, the side ribs, and the armpits. Although it is not lethal, it can instantly paralyze enemies.

In the warehouse, the large number of people has become a disadvantage. Those minions were messed up by the Night Demon, and the deviation of vision caused them to accidentally injure their teammates, but Gu Chenxi didn't need to worry about this, every one of them here was an enemy.

With more and more screams, some people were already scared and fled. Brother Shui looked at the terrifying black shadow in the flash through his fingers, and seemed to see the real demon.
