Li Hui, who was about to close the was stunned when he saw Li Yidaoâs time-sync comments.
He fell into deep thought for a moment.
As for the fans in the live stream room, they exploded again after seeing Li Yidaoâs words!
âD*mn it! Good job Brother Dao! Iâll help this brother make a reservation! The
Supreme Set! Give me your card number and Iâll transfer the money now!â
âTip directly! Ten Carnivals! Go!â
As he spoke, this fan straightly tipped ten Carnivals.
âD*mn! A wealthy tycoon! But, sir, you tipped the live stream of that Mr. Heâ¦
youâ¦â
âHoly crap! @Super Admin, the tip was accidentally made by my son. Heâs just a kid, can you refund it for me?â
âGrinning⦠âHeâs just a kid,â what a line, haha. @Super Admin, feeling panicked?â
âBut, Brother Daoâs moves in this situation are really impressive! Brother Dao, youâre the best!â
âHeh, a murderer actually has so many people kneeling and licking his boots? No matter what the reason was, he was a murderer! And do you think a murderer can have a funeral at all?â
âWhy not? Whatâs wrong with a murderer? He made a mistake and heâs facing the consequences! Canât we let him have peace after death?â
âSigh⦠Different perspectives, different interests, different thoughtsâ¦â
âMay the deceased rest in peace. I hope the police can grant Brother Daoâs request. Regardless of the causes and consequences, it all ends the moment he dies.â
âYes! May the deceased rest in peace⦠But how many people can truly rest in peaceâ¦â
After several seconds, Li Hui turned his attention back to the live stream.
He also saw the comments in the live stream, his expression tinged with helplessness.
âIâm aware of this matter. I will apply for it, and if possible, I will contact you.
However⦠I canât promise anything.â
âLet me repeat it again, if anyone is near the police station, please come and assist with giving a statement. Thank you, everyone.â
Saying this, Li Hui no longer paid attention to the reactions of the people in the live stream.
He simply turned off the phone.
As the live stream screen went dark, everyone shifted their focus.
After all, such a major incident had already spread across the internet!
In such a short time, the top three trending topics were all about this incident!
Countless netizens were angry!
Some were sympathetic!
Others were accusing the murder.
In short, opinions were variedâ¦
Li Yidao didnât pay attention to the various discussions on the internet.
He sat quietly on the recliner, not even responding when Li Xinting brought him food.
Li Xinting could tell that Brother Daoâs mood was not good at the moment.
It was only when she saw Brother Dao put down his phone that she softly spoke, âBrother Dao, the food is ready. Iâve placed it on the table.â
Not receiving a reply from Li Yidao, Li Xinting didnât get upset. She had been in the live stream just now as well.
So, she was well aware of everything that had just happened.
Her own emotions were running down now as well.
Anger? Sadness?
She wasnât sureâ¦
When a person was overwhelmed by so many emotions, nothing else seemed to matter.
It was just very uncomfortableâ¦
The entire afternoon, Li Yidao didnât receive a call from Li Hui.
It wasnât until a little past midnight that Li Yidao finally received a call from him.
After answering the call, Li Hui skipped the pleasantries and went straight to the point.
âYour request has been approved, but you can only take the ashes.â
âAs for the rest, you donât need to worry. We have proper procedures here, and no steps will be missing.â
âAlso⦠our superiors want to meet you. They have something theyâd like to discuss⦠if you donât mind.â
Li Huiâs last sentence was spoken slowly, as if choosing his words carefully.
And he ended it with âif you donât mind.â
âYour superiors want to meet me? For what?â
Li Yidao honestly felt puzzled.
âWell⦠do you remember what happened with Blade Wolf last time?â
âWeâre facing a somewhat similar situation this time, soâ¦â
Li Hui didnât say it explicitly this time.
But his implication was clear.
Li Yidao was speechless. He quietly thought, âIs it good for you guys to be like this? Itâs putting me in a very passive position!â
âWell⦠I can agree to meet. But Iâm not sure if I can be of any help. Also, when can I collect the ashes?â
âThe forensic examination was completed today. They will send the body for cremation early tomorrow morning, so you can come and collect the ashes at that time.â
âForensic examination?â Li Yidaoâs voice raised!
Upon hearing âforensic examination,â his first thought was autopsy!
What was there to autopsy?
Li Hui might have sensed the questioning tone in Li Yidaoâs voice.
He explained, âDonât worry, itâs just some basic examination records, no autopsy involved. After all, things are already quite clear.â
âBut a forensic examination is necessary, itâs a procedure. I hope you understand.â
Perhaps there was something Li Hui needed Li Yidaoâs help with, or perhaps Li Yidaoâs recent actions did have an impact on him.
Unconsciously, his tone had lost the arrogance it had before.
Compared to his first visit to Li Yidaoâs house, he was a completely different person now!
After a moment of silence, Li Yidao spoke up.
âWhat time does the cremation start tomorrow morning? I want to be there.â
This time it was Li Hui who fell silent.
Several minutes passed without him saying a word, maybe he was communicating with his superiors.
Just as Li Yidao was getting somewhat impatient, Li Huiâs voice sounded from the phone again.
âYour request has been granted, but after dealing with this matter, youâll need to come with me. Itâs quite urgent.â
âOf course, youâre just cooperating with us, and no matter what, weâll be grateful to you.â
Li Yidao didnât directly agree, but instead asked, âCan you give me an idea of whatâs going on?â
âI need to confirm first if I can be of help. Otherwise, it wouldnât be good if I cause trouble for you.â
Li Yidao didnât say things like âI canât helpâ or âYouâve misunderstood, I donât have the ability you thought I did.â
Those words were meaningless.
Unit 36 had already dug up almost everything about him.
His peculiarities couldnât really be hidden.
He could even guess that Li Huiâs superiors wanting his help probably came from Unit 36.
Whether they wanted to further investigate him or genuinely needed his assistance was uncertain.
So, he decided to ask and get a feel for the situation.
Unfortunately, Li Hui didnât answer him.
âYou wonât be put in a difficult position, and it wonât cause you any trouble. But we canât disclose the details right now.â
âBut I can tell you honestly, you donât need to overthink it. Only I and my superiors know about this matter. I recommended you to them.â
âAfter all⦠considering what happened last time and the Chaoyang incident, I experienced both firsthand. I believe you can help with this.â âYou can also⦠think of this as a personal request from me.â
Hmm?
This time, Li Yidao was taken aback.
What was this?
But he wasnât completely convinced by Li Huiâs words.
They were all adults here.
Telling lies⦠was normal.
But in the current situation, continuing to question wouldnât yield any meaningful results.
Li Yidao said softly, âAlright, I understand. Send me the location and time later, I need to prepare.â
âAfter I hold this funeral tomorrow, Iâll come with you.â
âOkay, Iâll send you the details later.â
âAlrightâ¦
They hung up the phone.
Li Yidao looked at the bright moon outside the window, lost in thought.
He felt a sense of impending storm.
Or perhaps he was sinking deeper into the situation.
Even seasoned criminal police like Li Hui was seeking his help.
It meant he was becoming more and more exposed to the public eye.
And that was not a good thingâ¦
Almost subconsciously, he turned to look at the box in the room.
The bronze mirror insideâ¦
He needed to find a way to use it!
This thingâ¦
If handled properly, maybe it could offer him some help?
