Prosecutor Hunt

1943 Words
The night sea breeze, carrying a faint salty taste, brushed past the coastal Rostwen Business University. Tree leaves swayed continuously with the wind, and on both sides of the campus’s shaded paths, neon lights featuring the characteristics of the new era were emitting limited light, uniformly illuminating the surrounding greenery. Outside the school gate, the noise of traffic was in stark contrast to the quiet atmosphere within the school. The girl standing on the shock absorber looked down at the message in the dialog box. The chat information with the note “Honey” was stuck on her one-sided inquiry. [How is the lawsuit going?] [You’ve been very busy lately, why don’t you reply to my messages!] [When can we meet again?] [I miss you.] After sending the last sentence, her fair fingertips fell on the screen and swiped up slightly. Above the uniform green dialog boxes, the other party’s last reply was only a few short words. [I need to deal with today’s matters.] A single “deal with” meant a wait of a month. Eva turned off the phone screen, and the black of the screen reflected her slightly worried face at the moment. Under the orange light, her eyes like a deer were bright with worry. Her relationship with Derek Warren began in December of last year, and now it has been half a year. In the world of adults, as long as there is a vague action, a suggestive and meaningful look can easily agree. What she wanted was Derek’s money, and Derek wanted her body. In this way, she gradually became dissatisfied. In this hard-working and realistic society, after experiencing the easy life of material security, one can only become more greedy. To put it bluntly, she wanted the position beside Derek, like his real wife. Derek’s relationship with his wife was not good, so as long as she talked about it privately and exerted her own advantages, it would not be difficult. In this way, although the east window incident occurred a month ago, when Olivia Brown caught him in the act, the first thought that emerged in her mind was that they could finally get a divorce. However, a month has passed. According to the resolute look in Olivia Brown’s eyes when she left, she thought they would definitely agree to divorce in the shortest time. Now it has been delayed for so long without any follow-up, either Olivia Brown regretted it, or… Thinking of this, Elva narrowed her eyes, and the worry dissipated, and what spread was colder than the night behind her. Women generally understand women. She has had contact with Olivia Brown a few times, a woman who looks more gentle and weak, and has put her heart into managing this family. In the face of betrayal, in addition to collapse, she will solve it faster than anyone else. If she is not surprised, Olivia Brown will definitely fight for the custody of the children after the divorce. In this way, she will have no resistance to sitting in the position of Mr. Warren. Nowadays, the divorce has not been determined for a long time, then there is only one possibility: The one who is unwilling to divorce is Derek Warren. The vibration of the mobile phone interrupted her meditation. Elva didn’t open the mobile phone with much hope. After opening Chat, the one-sided message finally received a reply. Her eyes were lit up by the screen, and the look of joy only stayed for a second before being driven away by indifference. [Let’s not meet anymore.] Elva looked at it for a few more seconds, her fingertips holding the mobile phone tightly clenched, and the self-mockery and coldness between her eyebrows and eyes were hard to ignore. For the first time, she felt that words could be so cold. “Ha.” In the silent night, the woman put one hand in her pocket, and a sneer of ridicule overflowed from her lips. Men, after all, are selfish animals that think with their lower bodies. He got the cheap and left, but she is not easy to provoke. You don’t want to divorce? I won’t let you do as you please. Once you stand on this invisible stage, even if you know there is a pit in front, you will never step back. Moreover, she can stand on the edge of such a dangerous place, and Derek’s promotion is indispensable. So— The girl standing at the school gate was wearing a clean white dress, but a chilling smile appeared on her gentle face. Isn’t it just jumping into hell? How can one jump alone? — When Estella was busy running between the law firm and the court, June arrived imperceptibly, and the air conditioner has become one of the essential items in the law firm. “Ella, the materials for the Sishui River Channel Charred Corpse Case are all here.” She walked into the office and Estella sat down on the soft swivel chair for the first time. She loved the design of the office very much. Although it was only a small place of less than 20 square meters, it was small but complete. She liked the fulfillment of having her own small world. After casually placing the coat on the back of the chair, Estella took the slightly heavy materials handed over by the assistant. Entering the work state, the girl’s eyes, which were a bit impatient due to the heat, suddenly became rigorous. The Elk River Channel Charred Corpse Case. The shocking murder case that shocked the city of Bit last weekend. The body was discovered at 6:30 in the morning on May 31st. A commuter noticed the abnormality on the river while passing through the stone bridge of Rinas Park. At first, he thought it was some huge garbage. With the idea of protecting the environment, he called the sanitation workers, thinking of asking them to deal with it. As a result, when the sanitation workers moved the foreign object to the shore with a long pole, they found that it seemed to be a person, and they were scared pale on the spot and immediately called the police. The autopsy showed that the victim was sexually assaulted before death, and the police initially classified it as a r**e and murder case, but the method was more cruel. “The victim’s family is now very emotional, and they have mobilized their connections to make a big deal out of it, so netizens are very concerned about this matter.” Mia Price, the victim of this Elk River case, is a senior student at Rostwen Business University. Originally, in a few days, she could wear a bachelor’s gown and take graduation photos with her classmates, officially ending her campus life and starting a new chapter in her life. But now— Estella’s eyes were very dark, and her fingertips gently tapped on the desktop. After a while, she couldn’t help but sigh. The girl’s life is stuck at this age like a flower. A young and beautiful girl suddenly disappeared, and it was in such a miserable way. Thinking from another perspective, Estella can understand the grief and despair of her parents. The day after the case broke out, according to the surveillance investigation, the police quickly locked the suspect. Rick Stone, 26 years old, is currently unemployed and homeless. His parents died early, and his only family member is his elderly grandmother. According to people who know him, Rick Stone is really uneducated and likes to hang out in bars and fight, so he is still living a muddled life at the age of 26. Even now, the two seem to have no intersection, but with such a background and character, it’s no wonder that the police will suspect first. Estella flipped through the materials in her hand. According to the surveillance, Rick Stone did enter Rinas Park at 11 o’clock in the evening on May 30th. At that time, no one usually passed by, so there hasn’t been a witness found so far. However, there is no surveillance around the stone bridge, so the next time the surveillance captured Rick Stone, it was exactly half past eleven. Combining the terrain analysis of Rinas Park, there is only the distance before and after the stone bridge between the two surveillances. It takes at most 20 minutes to walk, so it proves that Rick Stone stayed inside for at least ten minutes. These ten minutes are blank. Seeing this, Estella pinched her forehead, her expression a bit tired. This is indeed very suspicious. The case is not simple, and the pressure on her shoulders is naturally not small. In a daze, Estella glanced at the time on the computer desktop, didn’t say anything more, just raised her hand to the girl and said, “I know, you go back to work first.” As if thinking of something, she called back the girl who had walked a few steps: “Oh, right, Tina, help me make an appointment to meet with Rick Stone, the sooner the better.” Tina: “Okay.” Half a minute after the voice fell, the open office fell into silent silence. Touching the figure that was still standing in front, Estella raised her eyes lazily and asked, “Is there anything else?” Tina bit her lip, pinched the cuff with her fingers, and her expression was embarrassed. When she spoke, even her voice carried a bit of modesty: “Ella, the prosecutor’s office has decided to prosecute.” Hearing the words, the woman sitting at the desk nodded expressionlessly, without any surprised look on her face. Before, when Tina said that the victim’s family made a big fuss and caused strong social concern, she guessed this result. Under the pressure of public opinion, whether it is the police or the prosecutor, they will speed up the handling of the case. Judging from the current situation, the only suspect is Rick Stone. Coupled with his weak and powerless testimony, without an alibi, anyone would think that he committed a big mistake today on a whim. Thinking of this, Estella lowered her head without changing her expression and continued to flip through the materials in her hand. A few seconds later, her cold voice came faintly, without any emotion. “Reason for prosecution?” Tina: “First-degree murder.” Getting the expected answer, Estella did not raise her eyebrows, turned another page, the sound of the pages turning was very crisp, and her casual question was more calm: “Who is the prosecutor this time?” The young girl hesitated for a moment, glanced at the woman working seriously in front of her very timely, and said slowly in one go: “It’s Prosecutor Hunt.” The moment the voice fell, Estella’s action of flipping to half suddenly stopped. The soft fingertips rubbed back and forth on the thin paper surface. She likes reading because she likes the relaxation and peace of mind when her fingertips brush against the smooth and thin paper. Unlike some people, they are clearly full of thorns but are used to disguising themselves as a clean piece of white paper, silently and quietly hurting people. After a brief silence, a meaningful smile suddenly appeared on the woman’s calm face. What flashed in her eyes was understanding and an unyielding pride. If you ask about the prosecutor surnamed Hunt in the prosecutor’s office, there are only two. Jonathan Hunt has retired, so the Prosecutor Hunt in Tina’s mouth is naturally only that one. Prosecutor Hunt. —Alexander Hunt.
