"No, I'm not afraid of her. I'm just afraid of trouble. Lorna is very willful. If she knew about this, she would definitely make trouble with me."

 Xiao Yi looked like he had a headache.

 "It seems like you guys get along well," Mona said.

 “There is no good or bad, just ordinary

 Just getting along." Xiao Yi said.

 He continued, "It's time to get down to business. What on earth did Lorna do wrong? Why was she arrested by the Night Shift?"

 A heavy look appeared on Mona's face. She said, "This is a serious matter. I didn't believe that Luna would do such a thing, but now I do."

 "What exactly is going on?" Xiao Yi asked in confusion.

 "Her crimes are dabbling in the invisible arts, summoning evil spirits, and murder."

 Mona listed Lorna Romijn's crimes one by one.

 "Where does the murder come from?" Xiao Yi asked.

 He thought back to what he had done with Lorna Romijn and he had never seen Lorna Romijn murder anyone.

 "Brother Black Wolf!"

 Mona named a name.

 "The manager of Noble Properties, isn't that matter finished?" Xiao Yi said.

 He remembered that this matter had been tried by the court of the Anti-Suppression Bureau, and the verdict was that Luna was not guilty.

 "Now this matter has been brought up again, and the previous verdict needs to be overturned."

 Mona paused and continued, "That trial had many flaws. The trial procedures didn't quite meet the standards, the verdict was too hasty, and so on. In my estimation, there's a high chance that the verdict will be overturned."

 "Why do you make such an estimate?" Xiao Yi asked.

 He continued, "Last time, Luna was acquitted. That means that within the Night Service Bureau and the Suppression Bureau, most people agree with Luna. Generally speaking, isn't a verdict difficult to overturn?"

 "The situation is different now. Speaker Hunter has been arrested. He has exposed many people and brought down many people in power. The new people who came to power are dissatisfied with the verdict and are initiating a retrial process.

 In addition, those who had previously stood on Luna's side also began to waver."

 "What makes them waver?"

 "It's the accusation that Luna is involved in invisible arts and summoning evil spirits that has shaken these people. Once the fact that Luna is a cultist is confirmed, no one will vouch for her within the Night Shift Bureau and the Anti-Suppression Bureau. Even the previous incident of killing Brother Black Wolf will be considered premeditated murder." Mona said.

 She paused and continued, "Humans are very fickle animals. Sometimes, with a positive halo, even if you do bad things, you will be considered to have good intentions. But once you are labeled as evil, even if you do good things, others will think you are doing evil.

 This is the situation that Luna is in now. Once she is stigmatized and considered a cultist, her previous killing of Black Wolf Brother will be interpreted as premeditated murder."

 "How serious are these charges?" Xiao Yi asked.

 "With all the charges added together, Lorna will probably spend her entire life in prison. She is not a big shot like Speaker Hunter. She has no intelligence and cannot rely on giving others away to redeem herself from her crimes. It will be difficult for her to get a reduction in her sentence," said Mona.

 "This is a serious crime."

 Xiao Yi smiled and continued, "Is the evidence conclusive?"

 "The Suppression Bureau has obtained a lot of evidence. As far as I know, there are three evil names, but the evidence is not conclusive." Mona said.

 "Evil name, what is that?" Xiao Yi asked.

 "That's the technical term here, which can be understood as a bad reputation."

 Mona thought for a moment and continued to explain, “It can be understood that some behaviors will remain in people’s memories for a long time.

 Whatever a person does leaves traces, more or less. The bigger the action, the bigger the trace. Helping an elderly person across the street might earn you a good reputation, but openly summoning an evil spirit on the street will leave you with a widespread bad reputation. Simply put, it can be understood as a certification.

 "What did Luna do to deserve so many bad names?" Xiao Yi asked in confusion.

 He couldn't remember Lorna Romijn doing anything overtly evil.

 Mona didn't say anything, she looked up at Xiao Yi.

 "What do you see me doing?"

 Xiao Yi looked at himself and found nothing wrong with him.

 There were no stains on his face, and his pants didn't appear to be unzipped.

 "Are you really not aware or are you pretending not to know?"

 Mona looked at Xiao Yi.

 "Of course I really don't know." Xiao Yi said.

 Mona pointed to where Xiao Yi was and said, "It was because Luna summoned you that she gained this evil reputation."

 "From this point of view, the charge is not unfair." Xiao Yi said.

 "I'll tell this to Lorna," said Mona.

 "No, that woman is unreasonable and it will be very troublesome." Xiao Yi said hurriedly.

 "What should I do, tell me or not?"

 Mona pretended to think.

 "For the sake of the people we just fought..."

 "I've just repaid the favor for the battle."

 Mona interrupted Xiao Yi.

 "That's easy. I'll beat you up now and you won't say anything." Xiao Yi said.

 "Hello,

 "What kind of logic is this? Why should I be beaten by you? I'm not a masochist. If I get beaten, I should complain to Lorna." Mona said immediately.

 "It's a very simple logic. If I beat you up, as long as I'm gentle, you'll owe me a favor." Xiao Yi said.

 "Are you a devil? Can't you think of anything else besides violence?"

 Mona looked at Xiao Yi as if she was looking at a mental patient.

 "Just kidding, don't take it so seriously."

 Xiao Yi waved his hand, signaling Mona not to take it seriously.

 "So it was a joke? This joke is so cold."

 Mona breathed a sigh of relief.

 She said, "Then remember this secret. You owe me a favor."

 "Okay." Xiao Yi said casually.

 He continued, "Did I make a noise when I was summoned? Were you seen?"

 "Yes." Mona nodded and said, "It is said that that night, around Lorna's house, the shadows of the trees suddenly split, the wind blew past like the sound of swords clashing, and wild dogs suddenly lost their minds, some biting each other, others attacking humans. There were many strange phenomena."

 "Is it so exaggerated?"

 Xiao Yi looked shocked.

 "You are this level of great evil." Mona said.

 "I'm not evil at all, okay? All I do are good things. Since I came here, I have been helping your Night Shift Bureau most of the time. It was me who caught the big fish, Speaker Hunter." Xiao Yi complained.

 "I think you're a nice person too," Mona said.

 "Thank you." Xiao Yi asked, "What's the second evil name?"

 Mona said: "Do you still remember when the Anti-Suppression Bureau arrested Luna because of Brother Black Wolf's incident?

 That time, the immense and pure power of discord suddenly struck the Suppression Bureau, not only alarming Connor Long but also activating the Bureau's blessed artifact.

 "Remember." Xiao Yi nodded.

 He remembered that at that time, he tried to save Lorna Romijn and mobilized a large number of conflicting forces, forming a huge wolf shadow and attacking the Defense Suppression Bureau. The formation was quite large.

 "That incident was interpreted as Luna commanding the evil spirits to attack the Defense Suppression Bureau." Mona said.

 "This is unfair. At that time, Luna wanted to accept her fate and stand trial." Xiao Yi said.

 "The third evil name is in the Paradise Nightclub." Mona said.

 "Paradise Nightclub?"

 Xiao Yi immediately remembered that place. He and Luna were dating there, and a bald man broke in and disrupted their date.

 The bald man can release fire and use steel monsters. He and Luna both thought that the bald man was from Noble Properties, but the confession obtained by the Prevention and Suppression Bureau indicated that the bald man was from the Qinglong Catering Group.

 It was this bald man who betrayed Speaker Hunter, which led to the subsequent raid on Speaker Hunter's residence.

 Only then was there a massive reshuffle of those in power, and then Lorna Romijn's case took another turn, leading to Lorna Romijn being quickly sent to prison.

 Mona said, "Some people have studied the details there. They believe that it was not Luna who killed the steel tentacle monster, but the evil spirit she summoned who killed it."

 "I really was the one who killed that monster. Your method of investigating the case is really superb." Xiao Yi said.

 He thought for a moment and continued, "You just said that Lorna had three bad accusations, but the evidence wasn't conclusive. Then why was she thrown into prison? Generally speaking, wouldn't she be detained in the Night Police Station first, awaiting trial?"

 "I don't know about this either." Mona shook her head.

 "Then according to normal procedures, what are the chances of Luna being acquitted?" Xiao Yi asked.

 "The chances are slim," Mona said.

 "Why not? Didn't you say the evidence is not conclusive?" Xiao Yi said.

 "It's not certain, because it's missing the most important link, and that's you."

 Mona pointed at Xiao Yi with her chopsticks and continued, "To identify a murderer, you need to find the murder weapon and the victim. To catch a thief, you need to find the stolen goods. Only when you find these can the chain of evidence be complete. Without physical evidence, it's just a bunch of crazy people talking nonsense.

 In Lorna's case, the physical evidence is you. A group of people said Lorna summoned an evil spirit, but no evil spirit was found. This shows that the chain of evidence is incomplete and a group of people are talking nonsense."

 "If that's the case, then why are the chances of Lorna being acquitted slim?"

 A look of confusion appeared on Xiao Yi's face.

 “Sometimes, guilt or innocence is not determined by evidence, but by the judgment of those in power. Once those in power deem someone guilty, even if the nature of the crime is ambiguous and the trial is controversial, they will still be thrown into prison.

 The problem now is that most people in power seem inclined to believe Lorna is guilty.”

 "This is really fucked up." Xiao Yi said.

 He thought about it and thought of a question, so he asked: "Why do these new people in power have such great malice towards Lorna? They want to investigate Lorna as soon as they take office. Did Lorna offend some of them?"

 "I don't know about this either, and it feels a bit strange."

 Mona shook her head, also feeling confused about this.

 Lorna Romijn is

 The captain of the night duty bureau, but this is just like the property captain and urban management captain, it is not a big position at all.

 Logically speaking, Lorna Romijn should not have caught the attention of those in power, but the fact is that after the new person in power came to power, he immediately launched an investigation to investigate Lorna Romijn.

 This seems a little unusual.

 "Could these new people be related to Speaker Hunter? Are they holding a grudge and trying to target Luna?" Xiao Yi asked.

 The network of relationships among those in power is complicated. Not all people related to Speaker Hunter are connected to the Qinglong Catering Group. Some people are completely innocent, and the Night Shift Bureau and the Anti-Suppression Bureau cannot catch these people.

 "From the background information, most people have nothing to do with Hunter. Only a few scattered people seem to have a relationship with Hunter. It doesn't seem that they are angry with Luna because of Hunter." Mona said.

 "It's strange that people who have nothing to do with Hunter are targeting Luna. Why do so many people want Luna to go to jail for no reason?" Xiao Yi was puzzled.

 Volume 1: Chapter 484 Bach

 “I don’t know either. In fact, these new people in power are not just messing with Lorna. They have formulated a series of policies, including those related to people’s livelihood, economy, discipline, and so on. There are many.

 These documents have been voted through, and the entire Night Shift Bureau and the Anti-Suppression Bureau have been affected. Luna is just one of those affected.

 But although it seems to be a broad policy, there is also a clear sense of targeting Lorna.”

 When Xiao Yi heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He had previously thought that this group of people were only targeting Lorna Romijn and that they were a group of people who were trying to mess with Lorna Romijn.

 But now it sounds like it is not that simple.

 He asked, “How do you say that?”
