"It's hard to tell the difference between the virtual and the real. As a biological creature, human beings are no longer unique.
"Currently, there are about 400 million pictures uploaded daily. 1.4 billion active users have generated 3.2 billion comments. This amount of information has not been lost. The AI has compiled it into a unique and complex persona.
"This persona is a virtual substitute. With it, we can even communicate with our deceased family members. In the Perfect Life jointly developed by Immortal Pharma and Deep Space Tech, with the user's permission, we can use virtual substitutes to act as NPCs. Everyone in this world is real, they have their own memories and past, they have their own unique personality …"
At the main hall at Xin Lu International Plaza, Kong Tiancheng from Deep Space Tech was giving a passionate speech. Suddenly there was a commotion. Many people were screaming and screaming. The crowd was in chaos.
With a dry cough, Kong Tiancheng was about to amplify his voice when his assistant rushed over.
"Something's wrong!"
"What's the panic? Haven't I told you to stay calm when something big happens? "Kong Tiancheng turned off the public voice chat.
"A murderer with scars all over his body has kidnapped a few streamers. He says he's Meng Changan's big brother and that Meng Changan is the murderer of the human jigsaw case 10 years ago!"
"What the f * ck! Where did you see this?! "
Kong Tiancheng glanced at his phone and then turned to the seats for Immortal Pharma's executives.
4 of the 5 seats were already empty. Only a handsome middle-aged man sat in the middle looking at the virtual screen silently. His name was clearly written on his identity tag — Meng Changan.
Under the watchful eyes of thousands of people, he had originally wanted to use himself as bait to lure Meng Changxi out, but now, he was being watched by thousands of people.
Perhaps he left because he felt guilty. If he did not leave, who knew what would happen next?
"He's Meng Changan?"
"The murderer's younger brother? No, the murderer said Meng Changan is the real murderer! "
"But Meng Changan doesn't look like the murderer at all!"
"What do you know? This kind of person is very good at hiding. "
"Report this to the head office immediately!"
Kong Tiancheng left the stage in a hurry. The venue started to play music but the music could not drown out the discussion from the crowd.
Similar scenes could be seen at many places in Xin Lu. In this era where information spread like wildfire, breaking news could cause an instant uproar.
At this moment, many people were looking at their phones, looking at the man whose face was completely disfigured and upper body was full of scars.
"I want to tell you a story, a story about love and death."
"There was a mother who adopted three unwanted children. Of the three children, two had mental problems and one was physically disabled. That mother gave all her love without asking for anything in return, but in the end, she was killed by her own child … "
Inside Room 1044 at Happiness Neighbourhood, Han Fei stared closely at the screen. He knew about Meng Changxi's past, he knew the man had been preparing for this day for a long time.
"Is this the way he prepared for the curtain to fall?"
Meng Changxi revealed everything he knew in the video. He did not hide anything, including the existence of the Butterfly.
From Han Fei's perspective, Meng Changxi knew that even if Meng Changchang and Meng Changshou were captured, the Butterfly would still be free. Therefore, he risked his life to expose the Butterfly organization.
Some people believed him, others did not but that did not matter. As long as people paid attention, the number of people who were harmed by the Butterfly would decrease.
To avoid facial recognition, Meng Changxi destroyed his face; to prevent fingerprints, he scalded his fingertips; for this day, he had been in hiding for 10 years.
He carved everything he wanted to say on his body. The scars were words. Even if the signal was cut off, as long as the video had been released to the public, the scary screenshots would serve as evidence and clues.
From the frozen body case to the human jigsaw case, Meng Changxi told Chen Ge everything that he knew, everything that he had investigated.
He did not deny his crimes, he admitted to burying the body and personally killing He Shouye but he only admitted to the things that he had done.
Meng Changan had painstakingly laid out the trap and framed Meng Changxi. The protection net that he had painstakingly built over the past ten years had been torn apart by Meng Changxi in front of everyone!
The livestream was very short. The image kept flickering. Then, for some reason, everyone heard Meng Changxi's final roar.
"Do I need evidence to prove my guilt?!"
The livestream was cut off but the video and images from the livestream started to appear on the internet.
After watching Meng Changxi's video, Han Fei immediately called Li Xue. Unfortunately, the line was busy. He sent a few more messages to Li Xue.
About 10 seconds later, Li Xue replied, "The 3 Meng brothers have all been apprehended!"
"What do you plan to do next?" Han Fei had a lot of trust in the Xin Lu police but it was hard to get the police to investigate the Butterfly. Meng Changxi probably wanted to use the public's attention to force the police to investigate the Butterfly.
"Investigate the frozen body case and the human jigsaw case. This time, the police will try their best to capture the real culprit, including the Butterfly that Meng Changxi mentioned."
"If you're willing to investigate the Butterfly, I can help you. I have a file on the Butterfly with me."
"You're still at home?"
"I'm at the countryside, I'll come to you now." Han Fei stayed in the room filled with paper dolls and furniture. He too felt the place was creepy and he wanted to leave.
"Give me the address, our superior is already on his way." From Li Xue's tone, Han Fei could hear the importance in her voice.
"It's behind a chemical factory at the northern countryside, it's called the Happiness Neighbourhood …"
Meng Changxi revealed the existence of the Butterfly on his livestream. To be honest, he had no guarantee that he would succeed. After all, the Butterfly had their eyes on him. It would be difficult for him to carry out his plan.
'The Butterfly should have seen Meng Changxi's livestream as well, this place is no longer safe.'
Han Fei did not stay any longer. He grabbed all the documents that Meng Changxi had gathered and ran out of the apartment. He hid the thick document bags in his pocket.
Fortunately, Han Fei did not run into any accidents before he met up with the police.
Under heavy protection, he was sent directly to the main investigation unit.
Two authoritative looking police officers personally 'received' Han Fei. One of them appeared to be Li Xue's former superior.
