Chapter 2435 2438 Disappeared Into Thin Air! 1
Only then did the judge stop the impulse to scold Gong Jue and nodded. "Then, according to the Vice President's proposal, please ask the jury to question and cross-examine the plaintiff and the defendant!"
Questions and cross-examination by the jury were an important part of the trial.
Especially in Gong Jue's werewolf case, in the end, even the judge had to accept the verdict of the jury.
Therefore, during the cross-examination, the jury could question both parties from various angles and then make their own judgment to conclude that the defendant was guilty or not guilty.
Xiao Ning looked at the screen seriously and saw the questions raised by everyone in the jury.
As she was engrossed in her research, she suddenly heard a short cry for help. "AH, help!"
Just as the cry rang out, it stopped abruptly.
In this quiet and deserted alley, it was especially clear and terrifying.
Xiao Ning's gaze moved away from her phone. She stood at the entrance of the alley and glanced inside.
Silence returned to the depths of the alley.
She put away her phone and walked towards the source of the sound instinctively.
At first, she tried to take a step forward, but later on, she started to run wildly.
Because she suddenly realized that the alley looked empty, but there were three four or five-year-old boys fighting and walking in just now.
That cry of "Help"just now, was it a child fighting or being naughty? What happened?
Didn't they say that three or four-year-olds were the most worrisome? Three or four-year-olds were enough to annoy cats and dogs!
She quickened her pace and walked towards the depths of the alley.
This was the old city of the imperial capital. The alleys were decades or even hundreds of years old. There were many twists and turns, and the routes were complicated and sparsely populated.
The sunlight could not reach the depths of the alley. The further she walked, the colder she felt.
Xiao Ning was only thinking about the children and was not afraid at all.
It was just that she ran all the way and soon reached the end -- this was a dead end alley.
There was a wall at the end!
"That's not right... where are the children? They are not tall. It's impossible for them to climb over the wall and get out... There's no one else here. Logically speaking, it's impossible for them to be taken away... Where did they go? Did they disappear into thin air?"
Xiao Ning was extremely curious.
She searched around but did not find anything.
She walked back listlessly and was ready to continue watching the progress of Gong Jue's trial.
She had just taken five or six steps when she suddenly stopped!
A terrifying thought suddenly flashed through her mind.
She remembered that when she was investigating Nan Nan's disappearance with Mu Tianyu, she went to the children's inflatable castle to play and suddenly fell into the hidden hole of the inflatable castle's mechanism.
She also remembered that big flower, er hua, was knocked unconscious and stuffed into a garbage truck to be transported out of the mall during the few minutes when his mother was not looking after him.
The disappearance of these children happened in a split second.
They were all in very secret locations and unexpected places. The way they disappeared was also unexpected.
Just like... What she saw now!
They disappeared into thin air!
They vanished into thin air!
She looked around and realized that there were indeed no security cameras in the alley. In other words, whatever happened in the alley would not be recorded.
The disappearance of the child would only become an unsolved case.
Xiao Ning's heart raced.
Although she had already handled two important cases of child trafficking and missing children, this was the first time she saw three living children disappear in front of her!
What should she do?
Her conscience made it impossible for her to leave. She pretended that this had never happened and that she never knew.
Xiao Ning did not hesitate at all. She immediately turned around and ran back into the alley.
Her footsteps finally stopped on a manhole cover.
