BNH Hospital is the oldest private hospital in Bangkok, funded by the British Royal Family in the 19th century.

At this moment, in a luxurious lounge, Zhou Hong stood expressionless by the window.

The little black girl was crying her eyes out.

The expert team just conducted a final review and determined that Xiaohong and Xiaocai's surgery was basically successful, but it's uncertain when they will wake up; the probability of them becoming vegetative is not low.

The two fell from the fifth floor of the "Future 27" hotel in Chiang Luan County.

Police have arrested all those involved, including seven or eight girls aged 15-17. Investigation revealed that these young people were having a drug-fueled party, and as a result, Xiaohong and Xiaocai jumped out of a window under the hallucinatory effects of drugs.

"They never used to touch psychedelic water..." the little black girl murmured, wiping away her tears.

At BNH Hospital, Zhou Hong requested a detailed blood test and related examinations.

The two showed no signs of sexual assault, and their blood contained the potent hallucinogen DMT, all of which corroborated the police investigation results.

"Teacher, I'd like to have my friend's case reviewed." Zhou Hong picked up his phone.

"You and them..."

"Don't worry, teacher. There's nothing special between us. We're just ordinary friends, and we've only met twice."

Prosecutor Solauon was silent for a moment. "You need to understand what it means if your findings are different?"

"I understand," Zhou Hong said calmly.

In a short period of time, the perpetrators have been able to cover up the truth, turning the victim into someone who has only himself to blame. This suggests that the case may involve prominent figures in Qingluan County.

"Then you decide for yourself. I doubt you'll listen to my advice. Actually, if you stick to your current career path, you're 90% sure you'll be promoted to assistant prosecutor..." Prosecutor Solauon gave a wry smile. "Of course, if you insist on participating in this case, I can authorize you."

"Thank you, teacher." Zhou Hong didn't say anything more and hung up the phone.

……

In the afternoon, at the Cinnamon Restaurant.

During Zhou Hong's time in China, the Cinnamon Hotel was acquired by Hongye Trading (Chiang Rai) and is no longer open to the public.

Zhou Hong flipped through the case file. Sitting opposite him was a fat, big-eared captain, Wu Dong, the captain of Team A of the First Office of the Qingluan County Police Bureau.

The county bureau assigned the initial investigation of the case to Team A.

Zhou Hong wanted to switch to Team B, which is the group of Tawei and Xiao Hei, but the county bureau rejected his request.

The case file contained detailed statements from seven or eight drug users, including hotel staff and security guards on duty.

These testimonies, taken together, suggest that a group of young, rebellious women went to a hotel to have fun, and the tragedy resulted from excessive drug use.

"Prosecutor Hong, if there are no questions, then that's settled!" Wu Dong said casually, chewing betel nut.

"Call all these people over tomorrow, I want to hear their statements."

"Fine, that's your right..." Wu Dong nodded indifferently, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.

Looking around again, he said, "Prosecutor Hong, you've chosen a good location for your investigation."

Zhou Hong smiled and said, "This kind of environment is more relaxed, and you can get the truth out of them."

Wu Dong frowned slightly: "Prosecutor Hong, which statement do you think is untrue? I'll take some men back to the police station and ask them again."

"It's just a feeling. I can't say for sure who's lying," Zhou Hong chuckled. "Actually, I feel like everyone's lying. If that's the case, it's easy to find out. It might be hard to find out if one or two people give false testimony, but if ten or so people collude, hehe..." He muttered to himself, "It'll just backfire."

Wu Dong gave him a deep look, then stood up: "Alright, I'll bring everyone over tomorrow."

Looking at his back, Zhou Hong seemed lost in thought.

……

In the evening, Captain Tawi and Team Leader Erhei both came to the Cinnamon Restaurant.

Old Zhao prepared simple local dishes, such as seafood fried rice, tomato and pork sauce, banana leaf roasted eggs, and hot and sour soup.

"This case is not simple, Prosecutor Hong, you..." Tawi picked through the chili fish meat in the banana leaves, hesitating to speak.

Zhou Hong nodded: "I understand."

"You are porcelain, why bother arguing with these nouveau riche?" Tawi shook his head in bewilderment.

His original words were not said in that way, but the system's translation into Chinese slang is closer to the meaning.

Zhou Hong waved his hand: "I have my own ideas."

Putting aside his past with Xiaohong and Xiaocai, let's just talk about this case. If the truth can be revealed under the strong push of the prosecutor's office, it will be the beginning of the local reshaping of prosecutorial power and the start of his own fraudulent activities. He really needs to rely on outstanding achievements to clear his name.

This isn't exactly a double-edged sword; the Brahmins in the county town can't really exploit the Fifth Madam's vulnerability in fabricating evidence against herself.

In fact, his generous financial support for the Fifth Madam, along with the generous commissions he was giving away, was also in the hope that she would win in the family struggle. Only when her position was secure or even advanced further could he himself stand more firmly.

He and she were truly in the same boat. If something happened to her before he found a public office in another country, his "system identity" could be back to square one overnight.

I'm currently considering whether buying a government job in some small countries would be recognized by the system.

Is it possible that once the system binds a character to an "official" line, it cannot be unbound?

Of course, things should be done slowly to avoid making things worse.

"Alright then, all I can say is good luck." Tawi smiled on the other end.

Zhou Hong immediately noticed that his portrait in the servants section had turned gray and then disappeared automatically.

It seems he's under a lot of pressure. I guess his powerful backer has given him a wake-up call. He's not going to help himself with this case at all.

However, even if it doesn't help me, the system's judgment is still a bit strange.

Because the so-called servants are not actually servants of oneself.

So what does it mean to remove him from the servants?

This guy, has he already decided to betray us and help the other side stab him in the back?

Hmm? His annual allowance has already been paid, so he doesn't have to deduct it from his daily wage to make up for it, which is not bad.

He casually drank beer and chatted idly with Tawi.

"The testimonies are actually quite strange. The testimonies of those delinquent girls all say that Xiao Hong and Xiao Cai brought the hallucinogenic drugs."

"How is this possible? Next, I want to find a breakthrough. Tawi, Erhei, you guys investigate the family backgrounds of these delinquent girls and see which family is particularly poor and needs help. I'll sponsor them later."

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Hong said again, "I said that the large amount of hallucinogenic water couldn't have been brought by Xiao Hong and Xiao Cai because the day before the incident, they contacted me and said they were out of money and wanted to ask me for some pocket money. How could they turn around and buy a large amount of hallucinogenic water?" Of course, this was a complete fabrication.

Tawi was taken aback. "Prosecutor Hong, do you know those two delinquent girls who jumped off the building?"

"Yes, I had them download a Chinese messaging app. We all communicate through that app, it's called QQ."

Tawi nodded. "I see." He pondered for a moment and then said, "Prosecutor Hong, your chat logs are crucial evidence."

Erhei kept sighing beside him, he'd been bothered by his sister for the past two days. Apparently, it was two of his sister's very good friends, and his sister insisted that they had been framed.

Furthermore, the younger sister was also ordered by the prosecutor's office not to participate in the case investigation because her friend was involved.

Scratching his head, he said, "Brother Hong, my sister didn't say she was the one who introduced us. Have you had dinner together? If you have a particularly close relationship with the two victims..."

Tawi had already turned around and scolded, "Don't you still trust Prosecutor Hong?"

Erhei shook his head and stopped talking. He had originally wanted to remind Prosecutor Hong that if there was a real intimate relationship, he would need to avoid it, but then he thought that Prosecutor Hong would not make such a basic mistake.

Zhou Hong smiled at Erhei: "Don't worry, we're not that close." He looked at Tawei: "QQ has a function to save chat history on the server, I saved it."

Tawi gave a thumbs up, picked up his glass again, and clinked glasses with Zhou Hong. "Prosecutor Hong, don't worry, I'll help you investigate those delinquent girls more thoroughly tomorrow."

"Thank you!" Zhou Hong said sincerely, clinking glasses with him.
