The grizzly bear man named "Kao" has quite a nice attitude towards Yun You.

And the gray-haired girl he's calling "Kai" also became serious the instant she learned Yun You's identity.

Yun You could see they were Apprentice Death Gods, so naturally, they could also discern the little girl's identity.

Death Gods are proud, but towards their peers, as long as there's no direct conflict of interest or deep-seated hatred, they generally greet with a smile.

Because in the eyes of Death Gods, they always perceive themselves as superior deities, lowly mortals have no right to offend; only fellow Apprentice Death Gods deserve their respect.

As for that so-called senior police officer... no matter how high the position, it is still a mere mortal, what right does one have to compare with Apprentice Death Gods?

"You should just be passing through, right? Or here to execute a task..."

He turned his head, looking at the messy mine scene, and sighed helplessly.

"Ah, these bold workers, making a mess out of a riot like this... not only did they kill Yang Lie but also dragged you, an innocent girl, into it."

"But rest assured, we will investigate thoroughly, arrest all workers involved in tonight's disturbance, leaving none behind!"

"Make them understand the consequences of their mistakes."

Upon hearing this, the nearby long ponytail police officer couldn't help but frown.

As a SWAT special police officer, she certainly understood that Kao was trying to exonerate Yun You.

Does Kao really not know what kind of level those miners are?

A bunch of mud leg workers, their bodies long tormented by toxic gas and overwork, riddled with scars, even for normal work and life they rely on stimulants and painkillers...

Such people are incapable of combating even ten-year-old wealthy young masters from Upper City, how could they threaten Yang Lie's life?

The most likely one to have killed Yang Lie present, is Yun You, the "passing" Apprentice Death God! She's the one who should be arrested.

To be honest, those who can become SWAT special officers have at least some sense of justice pursuit, not to mention eliminating harm for the people, there should be some desire to explore the truth.

The long ponytail officer certainly doesn't want to let the suspect go, and she despises how Apprentice Death Gods "protect each other," and even more so how they easily sentence tens of thousands of civilians to death to exonerate a colleague.

But there's nothing she can do. The SWAT identity, although in the eyes of others appears glorious, even with future opportunities to run for higher council positions, yet in the eyes of Apprentice Death Gods, they're merely pesky ants; even if they were killed in anger, it wouldn't incur much penalty.

These people and the Apprentice Death Gods, strictly speaking, no longer consider themselves the same species.

Ultimately, the officer could only grit her teeth and begrudgingly permit the burly Kao's actions.

The purple-robed judge and the elder in a suit also chose silence.

Perhaps their power could make a slight difference, at least enough to investigate Yun You.

But why bother? Doing such thankless tasks for civilians completely unrelated to them would be downright foolish.

Ironically, the only one opposed was Kao's companion, the gray-haired Death God girl Kai.

"Kao, you're too rash!"

Kai glanced at Yun You, somewhat displeased, and said, "You know well those civilians couldn't possibly do such a thing, and know this little sister is likely involved, why say such strange words?"

"Don't forget, you just said this matter is not trivial..."

"Moreover, Yang Lie's connections are not ordinary; Supreme Council candidate Hika Moment, and Lower City mayoral candidate Shen Ye, are his friends. Do you want to take a list of civilians to explain to them that their friends... accidentally died in a rare riot using few firearms?"

The gray-haired girl spoke with sharp words, rendering Kao silent.

Meanwhile, Yun You silently raised her head, a hint of coldness passing through her eyes.

Hika Moment, she heard this name again.

Such a person was amongst those who perpetrated the massacre that day.

Yun You didn't expect him to have reached the level of "candidate council member," just one step away from entering Nest City's highest power body.

And that so-called mayoral candidate "Shen Ye."

The little girl thought this person might also be one of her enemies.

The majority of Yang Lie's friends were essentially just partners who valued profit, cozying up when advantageous, fleeing when trouble arose, fearing the slightest bad luck.

Perhaps, those who genuinely cared for him were only those three partners who executed the massacre with him.

"No matter who it is..."

Yun You silently shook her head.

Those who participated in the massacre that day, she wouldn't spare a single one of them.

As she thought about it, the little girl sat up straight, wanting to hear what else the Apprentice Death Gods present had to say, hoping to eavesdrop on some information.

"You... didn't you say you feared trouble and wanted to quickly close the case?"

Kao lowered his voice and shouted at Kai, "Get the case closed quickly and conveniently, then you can go back on vacation, it's good for both you and me."

"That's a different matter!"

Kai crossed her arms, standing firm: "Since this case is handled by me, I can't mess around. At least give Hika Moment and Shen Ye an explanation."

"What explanation? You don't understand anything."

Kao, truly impatient, retorted at the gray-haired girl.

She wanted to say more, but was silenced by Kao's dangerous glare.

Kao was warning her that if she dared to refute him again, don't blame him for being ruthless.

"..."

The girl fell silent.

The status among Apprentice Death Gods is shown through strength, and Kao's power is somewhat greater than hers.

"Alright girl, let's continue."

Kao turned to look at Yun You, his expression returning to a smile.

"The civilian beside you should also be one involved in tonight's riot, right?"

He pointed at Aurora, "We plan to take her into custody first, have her write a testimony, then trouble you to provide a witness statement, and this matter should be over."

With that, Kao reached to grab Aurora.

In truth, he could see Aurora sitting peacefully next to Yun You, most likely due to the relationship with this Death God.

But this little one is ultimately just a regular person, even if taken, Yun You probably wouldn't say much...

"Clap!"

Just then, Yun You suddenly stopped his action, then, amidst the surprised gazes, stood up.

"Sorry, I troubled you to say so much."

Yun You looked directly into Kao's eyes and spoke unabashedly.

"I am the 'culprit' you're looking for."
