Last night's mall arson case, resulted in a staggering number of one hundred and thirty-nine casualties.
Of course, the media only reported nineteen casualties and framed it as an accident, thus preventing any significant uproar in society.
Why blatantly lie? Officer Ling knew very well that it was a well-worn tactic of the top officials. If man does not help himself, he won't be helped by heaven or earth. Officer Ling could understand this. Even if she didn't, what could she do about it? She was merely a small-time police officer unable to change anything. All she wanted was to apprehend the arsonist as soon as possible, so that the soul of the one hundred and thirty-nine people could rest in peace, then she would feel that she had lived up to the responsibility bestowed by her police uniform.
It was now two in the afternoon, eighteen hours past the time of the crime. Officer Ling hadn't taken the time to even eat, let alone sleep, as she drove around searching for the suspect.
