Chapter 5: A Few Years' Sentence

When the netizens in the livestream heard the conversation between Jiang Xiaoya and the cleaning lady, their eyes widened in succession. They immediately stared at the screen, and regardless of where they were, they pulled out their phones and began frantically calling for others to join.

"Hey, you know that scavenger I told you about who found dismembered body parts twice? She might have found something again. Get to the livestream, fast!"

"Yeah, yeah, and this time it’s right in front of the police station. Tell me, is that exciting or what?"

"Forget about your homework, stop writing! Get on the livestream, hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"..."

In an instant, the number of shares for the livestream skyrocketed, causing the previously smooth stream to stutter for a moment.

The netizens who had been squatting in the livestream, suppressing their pounding hearts, had their brewing emotions interrupted and began cursing.

【Lag, lag, lag, lag your mother! You're ruining my viewing experience, I'll $%#@%&】

Netizens who had just entered the livestream looked at the pitch-black screen, their hair standing on end for no reason. Just as they were about to use their keyboards to ask what the streamer had found, they saw Jiang Xiaoya cautiously approach the trash cart, take out her phone, turn on the flashlight, and illuminate the dark cart. The viewers clearly saw the blood-stained black plastic bag sitting on top.

【Ah!!!】

【So exciting!!】

【The murderer's dismembered body parts!!】

【Jiang Xiaoya is a murderer!】

【Jiang Xiaoya must be the killer!】

【Case closed, case closed. Jiang Xiaoya is the killer. This is a self-directed murder case!】

【Is that human remains in the plastic bag? How terrifying!】

【...】

The chat in the livestream exploded. Netizens frantically hammered their keyboards, and the timid ones went straight to tell their parents, making them watch the stream together.

"It's her, this girl who looks sloppy and dresses sloppily. She’s found the murderer's dismembered parts three times now, and this time it’s even at the police station."

"Found them three times?"

"Yeah, that's what I'm saying. If she isn't the killer, how could it be such a coincidence? Finding body parts three times? She must be the killer."

"Oh my, you can't judge a book by its cover. She looks so thin and small, yet she kills and disposes of bodies. Terrifying, truly terrifying."

...

After Jiang Xiaoya finished calling the police, she felt numb.

Damn it, she suspected the system was setting her up.

The police arrived quickly. They first collected fingerprints before stepping forward to open the black plastic bag.

"It's a human liver!"

Someone exclaimed, and the scene fell into chaos for a moment.

Jiang Xiaoya leaned in to take a look, then ran to the side and vomited.

The netizens in the livestream also saw what was inside the bag.

The netizens who had been acting all mystical collectively gasped.

Although they had all guessed that Jiang Xiaoya might have found body parts again, seeing the bag opened and the contents revealed still shocked them to the core.

【Holy crap, holy crap, it really is body parts, and a human liver!】

【Is there a half-cooked lung in there too?】

【Too brutal, so scary!】

【It's over, it's over. I'm definitely going to have nightmares tonight, ah!!!】

【Who is it! This is too cruel!】

【Didn't everyone say Jiang Xiaoya was the killer? Why aren't the police arresting her yet? Are they just going to let her keep committing crimes?】

【She actually dared to stand there and watch. Her temperament is terrifyingly cold.】

【I knew this sister was a tough one the moment I saw her.】

【...】

If Jiang Xiaoya knew she had such a reputation, she would probably raise her hands and shout, begging the netizens to let her go and stop spreading rumors.

How could she be terrifying? She was just a poor person at the mercy of fate—no, at the mercy of the system.

When the police compared the various results, they reached a conclusion.

Jiang Xiaoya was not the killer.

"The victim's identity has been confirmed. He was an outsider who worked at construction sites and rarely interacted with others. Jiang Xiaoya's life and social circle have no connection to his. The time of death was two days ago, at which time Jiang Xiaoya was still livestreaming her scavenging. There is video playback in the livestream, providing a solid alibi. It couldn't be her."

"But how can the world be this coincidental? So many coincidences—the same person, different locations, finding the murderer's dismembered parts three times..."

"Wu Lun, there are many strange people and things in this world. That is not a reason to convict someone."

"But..."

"Enough!"

The man standing in the middle tapped the table, stopping the two from arguing further.

"The body parts have been collected, and the victim's identity is confirmed. I believe we will find the killer soon."

"As for Jiang Xiaoya... she isn't the killer, but keep someone watching her, just in case."

"Move out. Meeting adjourned."

Following the captain's order, the investigation team immediately set off to act separately.

It was now the early hours of the morning. Most of the audience had left the livestream, but quite a few night owls remained.

Actually, they had been waiting nervously ever since Jiang Xiaoya entered the police station, feeling like her relatives, concerned for her safety—er, her safety.

They were curious about the result.

Could the "Dumb Sister" get out?

Was the "Sloppy Sister" a murderer?

How many years would she get?

These were the most frequent comments in the chat.

They wanted to know; they wanted to eat the piping-hot gossip.

When they saw the figure wandering out from inside, they couldn't quite believe it.

They looked again to be sure.

Under the lens of the world's most advanced "Sky Eye" technology provided by the production team, the girl was rubbing her neck, looking exhausted, and wandering out of the police station lobby.

Who else could it be but the "Dumb Sister" they were waiting for?

【She's out so fast? Cleared of suspicion? Holy crap, there's an inside story, there must be an inside story!】

【She's counting money!!!】

【I know this, it's 2,000! The police reward for the body parts!!】

【What does that mean? She earned another 2,000? I work myself to the bone and I'm not even as good as a scavenger?】

【Damn, is she really innocent? I don't believe it.】

【Why do I feel like her posture while counting money is a bit arrogant?】

【Brother, I just love that look on you—you can't stand her, but you can't do anything about it.】

【Holy crap, alright, the Dumb Sister really has some skills. This life is getting more and more "convicting."】

Jiang Xiaoya collected the reward and walked out of the police station again; it was already the early hours of the morning.

She yawned, rubbing her chilly arms, her face full of exhaustion.

When she reached the entrance, she saw someone squatting there. The person seemed to hear footsteps and suddenly stood up.

Jiang Xiaoya froze for a long moment, the day's murder case flashing through her mind, and she immediately let out a shriek.

"Ah! Help..."

Zhou Yuyu hurriedly stepped forward to cover her mouth, her gentle expression unable to hide her panic.

"Xiaoya, it's me. How could you forget Sister Yuyu?"

Zhou Yuyu looked at her with eager eyes.

Jiang Xiaoya had touched plastic bags containing human remains twice that day. Although she had washed her hands, she still felt dirty. She never expected this person to cover her mouth the moment they met.

What was wrong with Yuyu?

Even the birds couldn't stand this!
