Chapter 135: One Ox And One Dog Solve The Case! Double Happiness Arrives!
You Cai hurried to a certain location and barked at Chen Han, “Woof, woof woof!”
Chen Han understood what You Cai meant and directly said to Huang Xin, “Captain Huang, You Cai says the weapon has been found.”
Hearing this, Ma Xue’er’s face instantly turned deathly pale, especially when she thought she might be going in for 3–10 years. She trembled in fear.
Huang Xin was surprised.
This little earth dog is better than a police dog?
It not only understands human speech, it even takes the initiative to help solve a case.
He immediately walked over, squatted down, and indeed saw a needle. “Xiao Li, bring the tools.”
A police officer immediately came over with a temporary Case Bag.
Huang Xin took the Case Bag, took out a pair of case gloves from inside and put them on, then took out an Evidence Bag, used tweezers to pick up the needle, and placed it into the Evidence Bag.
Then he walked up to Ma Xue’er and showed her. “Ms., the physical evidence is here, there should be your fingerprints and your dna on the needle.”
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and two police officers came over to pull Ma Xue’er up and lead her toward the police car in the parking lot.
Huang Xin immediately called the Bureau, a hint of joy on his face that was harder to suppress than an ak.
This was a clean and effortless resolution of a Public Safety Case before any Negative impact was produced.
The surrounding tourists were equally shocked. They had actually solved the case.
And the process was just a cow filing a complaint and a dog finding the weapon, and then this internet celebrity might be joyfully collecting 10 years?
Why did it feel like watching an absurd comedy?
You could only say this internet celebrity was both bottomless and stupid. A cow and a dog were enough to handle her; there was no need for the Police Uncles to act.
“I was wrong, spare me, I won’t dare again.” As Ma Xue’er was dragged toward the parking lot, she was already howling in panic.
Seeing this, Chen Han decisively infused True Qi into the Demonic Qi Ring and activated Hemorrhoid Infliction.
A faint, almost undetectable thread of Demonic Energy quickly drilled into Ma Xue’er’s body, then a second, a third… a fifth, then it stopped.
Ten days per use, times five made fifty days.
Three to ten years was the Law’s Punishment for her; these fifty days of tormenting Hemorrhoids were her repentance to You Fu.
As for why it was not longer, that was because he, the Righteous Family Head, was kindhearted.
“Ah, it hurts, it hurts…” Ma Xue’er’s cries of pain and wails immediately rang out, the sound somewhat shrill.
Dragged along by two Police Uncles, she really felt as if that place was being ground by Glass Shards until flesh and blood were in tatters.
The sudden pain caught her completely off guard.
Huang Xin hung up the call and was just about to collect the blood that had seeped onto the calf’s back when he heard Ma Xue’er’s wails, which made him frown.
Many people commit crimes out of ignorance, lacking Awe for the Law. After committing a crime, they think crying a bit and admitting fault is enough, even putting on all kinds of tragic, pitiful, or sickly acts.
But some crimes allow no leniency, especially those involving endangering public safety. No matter how they act up or pretend, it is useless. There is no room for negligence here.
Think about it: once a major public safety incident happens, it will mean many innocent people are injured or even lose their lives.
Naturally, the relevant local responsible units will all be affected.
So in this regard, there will absolutely be no indulgence.
Hearing the miserable wails, You Fu seemed to understand his master had made a move. He mooed excitedly toward him, the corners of his mouth pulled wide, unable to close from happiness.
Seeing this human-like expression, Huang Xin really wondered if this was truly a cow, and not a person in cow skin.
Chen Han was suddenly attracted by the devourer who was being taken away by the Police Uncles: a cluster of White Light fell from her body.
An Item Drop!
At the same time, a Game Prompt appeared:
【The devourer did not know that the family’s Mountain Shaking Spirit Ox had eaten a Spirit Fruit, undergone Quenching of its bloodline, and evolved. She actually tried to attack the Mountain Shaking Spirit Ox to intimidate the Family, but did not expect to be counter-killed by the Mountain Shaking Spirit Ox, and in the end was besieged by the Family’s spirit dog guarding the mountain, with her bones crushed and ashes scattered.】
Looking at the wailing Ma Xue’er being taken toward the police car, Chen Han thought that she should be grateful that in reality there were laws and regulations in a civilized world; otherwise, in the Game Plot, she would already have been reduced to ashes.
Thinking this, he stepped forward to touch the White Light, casually picked up the dropped item, and was genuinely surprised when he saw what it was.
It was this thing again.
【Beginner Refinement Talisman Stone Fragment （Demon）: This is a special Refinement Talisman Stone Fragment. Use it to refine Props or Weapons and Magic Treasures for a chance to obtain a Beginner Skill of the Demonic Path. However, using it will cause fluctuations of Demonic Energy that can easily be sensed by Righteous Path people. Please use with caution!】
“…” Chen Han felt a bit of toothache. Another one of these things dropped for him. As someone of the Righteous Path, he only had the 《Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method》 as his Cultivation Method, and now they were giving him another demonic path skill.
If this kept up, he would look more like a Demonic Cult Rogue than a Righteous Path person, but he was the Patriarch of a Righteous Family.
Still, this demonic path skill was indeed quite useful.
Just, hopefully it would not give him another Hemorrhoid Skill; that would be awkward, unless two Hemorrhoid Skills could fuse into a super Hemorrhoid Infliction.
“Chen Family Head, the videos have all been recorded,” Wu Ying came up to him and said. “I’ll go back to my Room first to edit the video and have the Company release the news.”
Chen Han nodded. After leaving matters to Huang Xin and the Tourism Police to handle, he led You Fu back to the Courtyard and applied medicine on his back.
After that, he once again took out a Decorative Ring, then used the Beginner Refinement Talisman Stone Fragment （Demon）.
In an instant, Refinement Runes once again flickered to life on the ring, glowing.
However, this Renovation would not be completed immediately, so he stored the ring in the Warehouse.
…
Not long after, in the County, Chen Kai was startled when he received the news. After all, a Scenic Spot case involving a public safety crime would mean that if anything happened, those in culture and tourism like him would bear joint Responsibility.
However, on the way to the Hospital with Ma Qi, he learned what had happened. Internet celebrities nowadays really did resort to every Method for Popularity.
At the Hospital, he saw that Director Kuai from the County Bureau had already arrived, and all the County Bureau Leaders of various ranks were there as well. After all, the crime of endangering public safety was very serious. Being able to prevent harm before it occurred was a Benefit to everyone.
“Director Kuai, how is the situation now?” Chen Kai could even sense some of them seemed a bit pleased, which made sense; regardless of scale, it was a Public Safety Case.
“Director Chen, don’t worry. We will handle this matter as quickly as possible and will not let Chen Clan’s Tourism be affected,” Kuai Liang said with a broad smile, then invited Chen Kai, “Director Chen, let’s go in and take a look together.”
“Mm.” Chen Kai nodded, then went into the Hospital with Kuai Liang.
Soon, the two arrived outside a ward and heard a Woman wailing inside. It was that internet celebrity who had been arrested.
Upon arriving, Kuai Liang asked Huang Xin, “What’s going on with her, why is she screaming like that?”
Huang Xin said awkwardly, “I don’t know what happened. She suddenly developed very severe Hemorrhoids. When we came back, I thought she was faking it, but after the Doctor checked, there were a lot of bloodstains from friction, and it was a type of Hemorrhoids the Doctor had never seen before.”
“Uh! What a coincidence?” Kuai Liang was stunned.
Chen Kai thought, as expected, then said meaningfully, “Captain Huang, in the future, if you are on duty at the Chen Clan and find someone suddenly suffering from Hemorrhoids, don’t be surprised. There have already been several cases before…”
“Ah…” Huang Xin blurted out, “Her Hemorrhoids have something to do with the Chen Clan?”
“I didn’t say that…” Chen Kai quickly shook his head. “There are many reasons for Hemorrhoids: excess internal heat, dampness, allergic rear ends… and so on. Captain Huang, you must believe in Science.”
“???”
“???”
Kuai Liang and Huang Xin, and even Criminal Investigation Captain Li Rui who was following behind Kuai Liang, all looked at Chen Kai with scrutinizing eyes.
Did any of them say they did not believe in Science? Why was he so eager to preach Science?
And what was with this suspenseful tone?
Chen Kai changed the subject instead and asked, “Her family has been notified, right?”
Huang Xin nodded. “They’ve been notified; they are on their way now.”
Chen Kai asked, “When they arrive, considering how serious this case is, they will probably go to the Chen Clan first thing to plead and try to get a Letter of Understanding, right?”
“Don’t worry, our people will be watching the whole time and will not let them cause trouble,” Kuai Liang understood what he meant.
But she could not escape this case. At most, a Letter of Understanding would slightly reduce the sentence.
“Mm.” Chen Kai nodded.
No matter whether the Chen Family Head gave a Letter of Understanding or not, the County would be his strongest backing.
At this moment.
Ma Qi suddenly handed over a video. “Director Chen, public opinion has blown up online. New City News from the province has released the story.”
Chen Kai took the news video and saw a report titled 《“An internet celebrity risks 10 years in prison for Popularity; her Humanity is worse than a Scenic Spot’s cow!”》
Click.
It was a long video.
The one appearing was Reporter Wu from Provincial Xin City News.
“Today when I arrived at the Chen Clan, I witnessed an astonishing scene. A cow of the Chen Clan actually went to the Chen Family Head to file a complaint…”
In the video, that cow ran toward the Chen Family Head, mooing, its eyes actually carrying grievance.
Sure enough, from the cow’s eyes, Chen Kai saw grievance, very human-like.
Then the Family Head’s voice sounded.
“What’s wrong? Why do you look so wronged?”
“Moo!~ Moo!~”
“There is no other way. Someone said you are dangerous and might harm tourists. If we don’t do this, you cannot go out to play. You choose one.”
“Moo! Moo!”
Watching this scene, Chen Kai frowned tightly.
The cow’s expression was too human.
That helpless, defensive look was a little heartbreaking.
The nearby Director Kuai and the others all frowned as well.
Next, Reporter Wu’s voice sounded again. “Seeing this scene was truly heartbreaking. What is even more heartbreaking is that even so, there was an internet celebrity, with a malice beyond human conscience, who deliberately targeted a helpless calf.”
What followed was the whole process of the calf’s back being stabbed and the cow going to the Family Head to complain in grievance.
Seeing the previously helpless calf, then seeing it being stabbed, the contrast made people feel real anger.
Reporter Wu: “I really cannot understand what kind of person can be so cruel. And did she not know that in a public place, doing this could cause the cow to become agitated?”
“This time, the Chen Clan’s calf was gentle, and after being stabbed it only went to complain to its owner. If it had been another cow, it might have gone berserk, charging around. With so many tourists, a Child could be trampled, someone could be pierced by Ox Horns. That would be an irreparable disaster.”
“For someone who can do such a thing, I cannot attribute even a shred of Humanity to her. Her Humanity is not even as good as that of a calf who, even after being hurt, knows not to impulsively hurt people and only goes to cry to its owner instead.”
Seeing this, Kuai Liang and Chen Kai had to admit this reporter’s words were highly inflammatory.
No wonder public opinion had ignited.
If they then exposed that it was an internet celebrity doing this for Popularity, it would be like lighting a powder keg.
Sure enough, Reporter Wu immediately exposed the internet celebrity. “Even more infuriating is that, according to the police Investigation, the culprit turned out to be an internet celebrity, and she did this just for Popularity. Even more ironic, this internet celebrity is Ma Xue’er, who had previously questioned whether the Chen Clan’s cow was dangerous. That is the greatest irony.”
The word “irony” was emphasized for effect.
Chen Kai and Kuai Liang exchanged a look. This was clearly orchestrated to destroy this internet celebrity. It seemed the Chen Clan also had connections at the provincial level.
Nowadays, more than half of the public already dislike such internet celebrities. They would definitely join in the pile-on.
Which meant that with this kind of report from Reporter Wu, it would be impossible for that internet celebrity to escape a severe sentence.
Online.
Shortly after Wu Ying published the report, public opinion grew more and more intense, enraging more and more people, especially those who had previously supported Ma Xue’er.
Bao Cheng was one of them.
He had thought what Ma Xue’er said before sounded quite reasonable, and he had been planning to visit the Chen Clan. But after watching this video, he cursed in fury, “Is this even a human being?”
His Girlfriend asked in confusion, “What’s wrong, honey?”
“Look at this news!” Bao Cheng directly handed her the video.
After watching the video, his Girlfriend was instantly speechless. “How could Ma Xue’er do this? To think we used to consider her a Righteous Path person.”
The two were furious.
It seemed that, Online, sometimes you really could not tell who was good and who was bad.
Without hesitation, they opened the Comment Section to curse her out; if they did not, their anger would not ease.
But as soon as they opened the Comment Section, it was already full of curses.
“Seriously, this Woman looked so righteous before, I even gave her a Like.”
“Internet celebrities nowadays are truly disgusting. One face in front, and who knows what face behind.”
“There are way too many legal illiterates now, especially among these internet celebrities!”
“……”
As this wave of public opinion surged, more and more people joined in discussing the Matter, all of them cursing Ma Xue’er. Many people went to her account to curse her, but her account had already been banned by Douyin.
Still, in a way, she had succeeded, because she indeed gained incomparable Popularity and would go down in internet history. In the future, when people needed negative examples Online, she would definitely have a place.
A statement from a large Animal Expert drew everyone’s attention. “I watched today’s news. Everyone is cursing that internet celebrity, but it seems no one is really speaking up for the calf. It is clear this cow has been very well trained and relies heavily on its owner. The key point is its gentleness. Otherwise, after being hurt, it would not choose to run to its owner to complain first.”
“In fact, for large Animals, we have a standard temperament test. Many animals need to pass this test before they can be used to help with important Experiments.”
“This calf is undoubtedly of the highest level of gentleness. If you stabbed an ordinary person three times like that, who could endure it without exploding?”
“But this cow bore it. So do not worry about whether it will cause danger. If nothing unexpected happens, and if it hurts you, there is a high chance it is because you provoked it. Considering it did not even become agitated from being stabbed like that, in many cases you would be the one joyfully earning 3 to 10 years.”
This expert’s video attracted a lot of attention, and Chen Han also saw it, his eyes lighting up.
This might allow him to remove the Rope from You Fu.
You Fu would definitely not harm anyone. People Online had supported Ma Xue’er before only out of concern.
So, as long as they still assigned someone to follow and watch over him, it should ease people’s psychological worries, and the Rope would not be needed.
Thinking this, he immediately went to find You Fu. At the Chen Clan gate, he saw You Fu, who had not come to hate tourists because of being hurt. He was still happily guiding a group of tourists inside.
Because today’s Popularity was all about him, one tourist after another was filming him.
Perhaps they should create a Douyin Account for him, called “Chen Clan Earth-Shaking Spirit Ox — You Fu.”
Moo moo!~
You Fu spotted him and mooed happily.
“Patriarch.” Chen Yuan, the Demon Subduing Hall Elder, also greeted him with a smile.
Chen Han replied, then went over to stroke You Fu’s head and unfastened the Rope from his nose, saying, “You won’t need to wear this anymore, but you have to be even more well-behaved from now on.”
For a moment, the calf froze, then its eyes widened in joy. It mooed excitedly and even pranced with its hooves.
He really looked like a Child receiving a Reward.
The tourists immediately captured this scene, their faces full of amazement. This calf was truly smart; it could completely understand what the Chen Family Head said.
How could anyone not like such a calf? Animals with Spirituality can easily touch people’s hearts.
“Keep receiving the tourists,” Chen Han said, again patting You Fu’s head.
Moo moo!~
You Fu immediately mooed to the tourists again, happily leading the way and letting them follow.
Chen Han was about to return to the Courtyard when he was suddenly startled by a new Game Prompt that appeared:
Another Magic Qi Ring Refinement had been completed.
【Refined Demonic Qi Ring: This is a demonic Prop refined using a Beginner Refinement Talisman Stone Fragment （Demon）. It possesses a Beginner evil Skill of the Demonic Sect: Bite Teeth!
Bite Teeth: After using True Qi to activate the Refinement Runes on the ring, you can drive a thread of Demonic Energy to attack a target. The Demonic Energy will cause the target to suffer severe toothache for 10 days, accompanied by loss of appetite, lack of energy, and a feeling of near-death… and other Negative Attributes!】
Seeing this Beginner Skill that randomly appeared on the new Demonic Qi Ring, Chen Han felt his cheeks twitch.
So vicious.
Bite Teeth plus Hemorrhoid Infliction was absolutely a supreme Demonic Path method, specifically targeting the kind of places that drive people mad.
Think of people with toothaches: the pain is almost unbearable, and they always seem to be wearing a mask of suffering.
Now, this Bite Teeth inflicted severe toothache. It was definitely more than a simple mask of suffering; it deserved an expression of wanting to cry without tears, because at that Degree, even crying and moving your cheeks would tug on the nerves of your aching teeth.
He was clearly the Patriarch of a Righteous Family, so why did he keep getting Demonic Path methods?
Seriously.
He put on the new Demonic Qi Ring, itching to test this Skill. He wondered if there would be some kind person coming to his door to fulfill his wish?
Just then, another Game Prompt suddenly appeared in his mind. When he saw the content, a joyful expression surfaced on his face.
It was finally done.
This counted as a double blessing, right?
