At the shrubs.

Two of the three police cars had stopped in front of an abandoned church. Jie Yun and Wei Lou were both wearing civilian clothes and their hands were cuffed. Officer Ying Wu was the one who appeared before them

Officer Ying Wu said, “Please follow me to the church. The one who temporarily freed you is waiting for you.”

The two of them followed after the young police officer. Inside the abandoned church, even though it was slightly dim and the wooden benches in rows look a bit old, most of them are still usable. The place was cleaned up before it was occupied. The outside was in ruins but the inside is livable.

Police Officer Ying Wu left for a moment when he didn’t spot their superior in the church. He had no other choice but to temporarily leave the two criminals with their hands still cuffed.

Wei Lou started acting like the thug he is. He sling his arm over Jie Yun’s shoulder and said,

“Little Bro, do you know what is happening here? You’re from the prison as well right?”

“Unhand me. Brute,” said Jie Yun as he elbowed the man hanging on his shoulders.

Wei Lou reacted fast as he pushed away the man and dodged the fatal blow. If that elbow landed on his body his left rib cage would mostly be shattered by impact.

“Not bad~ little bro, are you a professional killer? Your move just now is too deadly~” said Wei Lou.

Jie Yun coldly narrowed his eyes on the former mafia not far from him and said, “A remnant of a Fallen Family ha. No wonder you act so unfriendly.”

Wei Lou lost his smile with this comment. He hated it when others mentioned his broken clan. The two were about to break a brawl on the spot when they were stopped by the arrival of Ye Yuyan who washed his face to remove the scent of alcohol on him.

Ye Yuyan passed between the two and sat at the wooden bench looking at them.

“What’s wrong? Continue fighting. It’s just about to get interesting…” said Ye Yuyan.

Based on how he is acting he doesn’t even care if the two of them beat up each other until they kill one another. They are criminals and Ye Yuyan’s reputation in the criminal world is quite high.

Jie Yun said, “Aren’t you are, Prosecutor Ye? So you are really alive?”

“That demon prosecutor? I heard he lost once to a young murderer and lost his omega and child. How sa…” Wei Lou suddenly shut up when he saw Ye Yuyan’s sharp yet fierce gaze. He looks more like a killer with this look.

He knew that if he mentioned one more word about his deceased partner and child the gun he is holding in his left hand would definitely shoot him down. That’s how dangerous the vibe he is getting towards this mad prosecutor.

Tsk!

Wei Lou could only click his tongue in anger and fear. He wasn’t willing to put his life on the line just to test Ye Yuyan’s mood.

Ye Yuyan glanced at Police Officer Ying who came with him and said, “Uncuff then and start the explanation.”

“Aren’t we gonna wait for the last one to come, Sir?” asked Officer Ying Wu.

Ye Yuyan rolled his eyes and recalled Hua Heiyu which instantly put him in a sour mood.

“That bastard. You only need to give him a few words and he will understand the whole story. Just focus on explaining to these two who need that long explanation to understand the whole situation. Get started.” said Ye Yuyan while closing his eyes as if taking a nap when in reality he is trying to contact his wife through telepathy.

Young Officer Ying Wu began his explanation while Wei Lou and Jie Yun temporarily calmed down in the presence of mad police like Ye Yuyan. He knew this person wouldn’t hesitate to shoot at them if he felt like it.

Officer Ying Wu said, “Please sit down. I will begin now. Listen carefully.”

He pulled a wooden board filled with photos of people, houses, streets, and locations.

“What you see here is the information about the unsolved serial murder case in this city. So far there are 8 deaths.”

Wei Lou interfered in the conversation, “Why are you telling us this?”

“Of course! You need to catch the culprit. You guys are not completely free okay. Wei Lou is sentenced to 30 years while Jie Yun to 25 years. The last one is sentenced to 50 years I think.”

“Between the three of you, only the person who can catch the killer would get his sentence reduced by 5 years.”

“Are you guys interested now?”

Jie Yun asked, “Are your words credible? I think your too young to have such the privilege of reducing one’s sentence.”

“Of course! He does not have that kind of authority. But I do… Each length of sentence reduction would depend on the case. It could be just 3 years, five years like right now, or even 10 years worth. The harder the case the longer the reward would be. In each case, only the one who catches the culprit would get their sentence decreased. This is a competitive society so I guess you understand.” said Ye Yuyan.

Wei Lou said, “If we catch that punk, our sentence would be cut. Is this only it or are there other conditions?” ．

“Of course. There are. Drinking is prohibited. Women are prohibited. Driving is prohibited. Well since everything is prohibited just do everything, I don’t care. How can one live without drinking? How can you catch the culprit without violence? To me as long as the culprit is caught I live I don’t care if it is missing a few limbs~”

“But there is another catch since you aren’t completely freemen but yes… Let’s consider you volunteers. You guys would need to wear a tracker plus locator for me. Then go ahead and go wherever you want. My first rule, if you are summoned come on time. If not you shall be punished.”

“Ying Wu put the bracelet on them,” said Ye Yuyan.

Wei Lou and Jie Yun didn’t dare to resist as Ying Wu put the black bracelet which is almost a perfect fit on their wrist and seems to be unable to be removed by normal means.

Ye Yuyan said, “Oh~ those bracelets are made from special materials unless you are willing to cut off your hand, that cannot be removed without my biometrics.”

Officer Ying Wu was observing the scene from a distance when suddenly his phone rang. It was a call from their ministry of defense. A piece of shocking news was reported to him.

“Prosecutor Ye! Something happened to the last criminal. He escaped!” exclaimed Ye Yuyan.

Ye Yuyan murmured with deep anger, “Just as I thought, that kid wouldn’t make things easier for us. I will reduce your sentence for 3 years only to the first person to bring back Hua Heiyu.”

“Hua Heiyu? You don’t mean the young man you police officers deemed as the youngest serial killer. Heh~ he is the first minor to be put in jail. I heard it was our good Prosecutor Ye who overused his authority to it and even exchanged his position just to put him behind bars.” said Jie Yun.

Wei Lou said, “I’ve seen that kid too. He looks so small and slender. Making you wonder if he could kill a person.”

“What do you know!? When I got home there were no other traces than him being there alone standing as he watched my house with the dead bodies of my omega and child burning into ashes!!! The security camera caught nothing but he alone was there standing watching my house burn without any expression on his face.”

“If he was innocent why didn’t he call for help?”

“If he wasn’t the killer, why would he appear there at the exact time an explosion happened in my house.”

“It can only be done by him. Only he who was there knows what truly happened but when I interrogated him, he didn’t speak a word. He just stared at me silently as if he was a mute.”

Ye Yuyan’s sudden outburst rendered everyone speechless. Even Ying Wu didn’t expect his superior to lose his cool all of the sudden. It seems he hates Hua Heiyu more than anything in the world yet at the same time he knew deep in his heart that the young man might not be the one who killed his family. If so… Why isn’t he saying a single word to help solve that case? It was because of this that he hated Hua Heiyu with all his heart.

“Spread and try to find him. Capture him back!” said Ye Yuyan.

Meanwhile at the same gas station where the last police car was stopped. Ye Yuyan and the other three had followed over to listen to the two police officers who were supposed to bring Hua Heiyu to the shrubs.

Their faces were all beaten up as if they were treated as sandbags by someone. As soon as Ye Yuyan saw their faces like this his eyes turned cold. The two police officers thought he was angry with them. Officer Ying Wu was the one who asked for their testimonies.

Officer Ying Wu reported to Prosecutor Ye, “Sir, they said Hua Heiyu pretended to go to the restroom to pee. In the public restroom, Hua Heiyu caught them off guard and beat them up one by one, and escaped after stealing the keys to the handcuffs.”

Wei Lou sarcastically laughed at the two beaten blue uniform-wearing policemen.

“Aigoo~ You guys really worked hard. Heh~”

Jie Yun is more practical and twisted their arms over their head and slid down the sleeves of their uniforms and forced them to show their fist to see. One fist from each police officer had traces of fighting and it was a bit swollen. The bruises on their faces were obviously manmade.

“Your fist is swollen. Even if you tried to lower it by pouring water over your hands it would instantly disappear as you wish. You two beat each other and gave us a lie as your confessions.” said Jie Yun.

Officer Ying Wu looked at his police comrade in disbelief, “You guys are lying!? Why don’t you tell us the truth? What is your purpose!?”

“What can they say? It is very hard for Alphas like them to confess that a weak omega like Hua Heiyu was able to escape from them,” said Ye Yuyan.

Wei Lou said, “So that kid is an omega. No wonder his cell was solitary for his own use only.”

Ye Yuyan stared coldly at the two police officers. His eyes were dull and his face was expressionless. Everyone then knew how angry the prosecutor was at this moment.

“First offense, lying to your superior. Second, giving false testimonies, and third, failing to fulfill tasks given. You guys already have three offenses. If you have enough brain left in you, you know what you should do next.” said Ye Yuyan before walking out of the public restrooms.

The two police officers who were tasked to bring Hua Heiyu and lied were now helpless as they looked like they’d lost their souls. Wei Lou and Jie Yu. Followed without a second thought and went outside as well. Only Officer Ying Wu gave the two former police comrades a bit of advice.

Officer Ying Wu said, “Resign voluntarily. At least you can still work as a police officer in some other city or province. If the Prosecutor reported this case, you would lose your credentials and would no longer be a policeman.

Sir, is not blaming you for lying. Because he knew what kind of criminal Hua Heiyu was. Isn’t the type to be strong physically but he can influence others to abide by his commands. Until now no one knows about his special ability. Tell me what you know so your hearts will be free.”

The police officers looked at each other. Only the driver of the police car who was with Hua Heiyu at that moment confessed what he had experienced.

“I only smell the scent of mint and flowers. Ah! That’s right. He said it was the fragrance of lotus flower.”
