It Was You novel Chapter 909

"Some of them were persuaded to leave, and some stayed in the reception room all the time. I asked someone to accompany them and arranged some food and drinks for them, but they didn't eat at all. I was stunned and couldn't answer their question," Bettina said in a choked voice with tears in her eyes.

The old case happened 13 years ago was probably not remembered by many people in the world, but they were the families of the victims of the case. Even if no one remembered, they could not forget it. They stretched their necks and waited for the murderer to be punished, waiting for the justice of their dead daughters. But in this world, there were not so many clear distinction between black and white.

Arthur's brows wrinkled again. Perhaps he was too tired, his voice was unusually calm, and there was not even a trace of anger in it. "Okay, I got it. You are divided into two groups. You should have a rest and work in shifts. I will pay for the night snack and the girl's facial mask. Even if you dig three feet underground, you must find that bastard for me."

"Yes, sir."

A young teenage girl died in such a tragic way, and an old police officer was involved and died in a car accident all of a sudden. The two lives, like heavy hammers of a thousand pounds, were pressed in the hearts of everyone. The whole police station was suppressed so hard that they could not breathe.

"Sir, where are you going?" After Bettina cleaned up the meeting room, she saw that Arthur stood up and couldn't help asking.

With a cigarette in his mouth, Arthur lowered his eyes and said, "I'm going to see the victims' families. Didn't you say that they haven't left yet?"

After two seconds of silence, Bettina suddenly looked up at Arthur and said, "Sir, sometimes I wonder what the point of us doing this is. No matter how hard we work, even if we bleed and sacrifice, there are still so many crimes. Those victims are all ordinary people. All of them suddenly fell into such a disaster. A family is over. In the school, they listened to the teacher's words. In the society, they were suppressed by work and reality. But they ended up with such a miserable ending. Sir, shouldn't I have chosen to be a police?"

It suddenly occurred to her that not long ago, there was a line in the popular movie, 'It's just that someone is helping you carry a heavy burden.'

But that was too opportunistic. This kind of mental and physical torture was far better than the power of these words hitting her heart. No matter how careless she was, she was also thoughtful and sensitive. Especially at this time, she even doubted if she was really too incompetent.

Arthur patted her on the shoulder and said in an old-fashioned tone, "Bettina, someone came here for a job, and someone came here for passion. When they were young, they always had the ambition to save the world. But after they entered this industry, they realized that it was not the case. Someone died every day, and there were suspicions to be confirmed every day. Look, even if it is now, it's late at night, but there are still countless people and cars running on the street. This is life. How many helpless bumps, blood and tears can only be swallowed by themselves? We can't stop all crimes, but if even we retreat, what should they do?"

Bettina had been with Arthur for a long time. When she heard what he said, she thought that Arthur's soul had been changed.

Before Bettina could react, Arthur had already left the meeting room. She didn't know if it was her illusion or not. She always felt that Arthur, who was in the shadow, looked like a brave hero, but they didn't know what would happen to the so-called "road".

Lonely people all had their own quagmire.
