Chapter 216: Chapter 216: The Lives of Cats and Dogs are Also Lives

Scarlett Jennings’ Weibo post sent a chill down the spines of all the curious onlookers online.

It was no surprise; the last person Scarlett Jennings had straightforwardly accused of carrying a murder debt was Louis Xalvadora.

He was accountable for five whole human lives!

Now she directly tweeted that the perpetrator who attacked a child with a knife carried a murder debt, and not just one.

Oh my God, wouldn’t this be at the level of a killer lunatic?

Netizens plunged into immense panic over Scarlett Jennings’ post. In just a few minutes, the tweet was retweeted over ten million times, and it shot up to the trending list.

At the same time, Scarlett Jennings received a call from Daniel Wright.

On the other end, Daniel Wright’s breath was clearly a bit quick, and his voice was both deep and urgent,

"What do you mean on Weibo? This person has a murder debt on them? How many did they kill..."

Scarlett Jennings cut him off before he could finish, "Not human lives."

One sentence, slightly eased Daniel Wright’s emotions on the other end of the line, but his breathing was still heavy.

"Then what is it?"

"All small animals."

Scarlett Jennings’ voice was a bit cold, different from her usual calm demeanor, with a hint of disgust in her tone.

"Cats and dogs have spirits, especially those animals that were tortured to death. They would turn into Shadow Spirits, haunting the person responsible."

Hearing this, Daniel Wright didn’t feel any better either.

Though he wasn’t fond of cats or dogs, he also despised such violent acts against animals.

As a police officer for years, he’d encountered numerous criminals.

Many perpetrators of heinous murders had, to some degree, a history of torturing animals.

Incidents of cat abuse were not uncommon these years, and the groups doing it had become rampant.

From their words and actions, it was evident they possessed a deeply twisted psyche.

It’s no exaggeration to say that those who take pleasure in torturing animals might be future murderers.

And such cruel acts even garnered support on the internet from those who disliked cats and dogs.

With no animal protection laws in place domestically, these people became more brazen.

"The police have already focused their investigation on him. I’ll have someone follow up on what you said."

"Okay."

After hanging up the call with Daniel Wright, Scarlett Jennings looked at the uproar her Weibo post had caused online, feeling a rare twinge of guilt.

She simply reposted her previous tweet, adding a supplementary note.

[The lives of cats and dogs are lives too.]

Once again, netizens exploded upon seeing this message.

[Aaaaah! Keeping us in suspense is deadly!!! I thought it was another twisted serial killer!!]

[Fairy Lady, could you stop leaving us hanging with your Weibo posts?]

[Look at how inexperienced you all seem, I guessed it wasn’t a human murder debt right away. If it were, Scarlett would’ve already mentioned the Sea City police.]

[Uh, speaking of which, it seems everyone’s already tagged them numerous times...]

[Doesn’t anyone care that the lives of cats and dogs are lives too?]

[Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if someone who can just attack children indiscriminately found pleasure in torturing cats and dogs.]

[People who torture and kill pets are psychopaths!]

[I am fuming, why are there always so many deranged cat abusers!]

[A while back, there was a seventeen-year-old online who tortured cats. His family didn’t stop him and even adopted cats under false pretenses for him to kill! A family of psychopaths! Scum!]

[I saw that too, that family is just utterly malicious. I couldn’t bear to look at the condition of the cat...]

[When will this country enforce laws to protect animals?]

The comment section continued discussing the topic of torturing cats and dogs, yet no one questioned Scarlett Jennings’ words.

Even if there had been questions before, after the kindergarten incident, who would still doubt what Scarlett "saw"?

As the internet buzzed with the condemnation of the man’s perverted behaviors, the Sea City police finally issued a detailed announcement.

The announcement, in addition to introducing the man’s basic information, also explained in detail the motive behind his crimes.

[According to Fan, he went after his girlfriend, who unilaterally proposed a breakup. He chased her to the airport, but due to traffic, he missed her flight.

Fan claimed he was deeply distressed and troubled by not being able to win her back. At that moment, he saw a group of happy kids getting off a car, and that’s when he impulsively made the wrong decision.]

Reading this, netizens almost burst into laughter.

[Does Fan take us for fools? Bringing a knife to win his girlfriend back? Isn’t he probably threatening her to stay?]

[Don’t say that, maybe he was planning a premeditated murder.]

[With a knife, he couldn’t get past the security check, so he stayed outside, right?]

[What the hell! How did the kids enjoy their study trip bother him?!]

[Definitely a psychopath!]

[Such a person should be arrested and sentenced!]

[Does this count as attempted murder? Can someone knowledgeable in law tell me how many years that carries?]

Just as netizens were fervently discussing the police’s announcement, another long-form Weibo post drew everyone’s attention.

[Just saw the news as the plane landed, struggled for a long time but decided to speak out online. Hello everyone, I am the ex-girlfriend Fan mentioned, but I broke up with him entirely because I discovered that he adopted cats under false pretenses to kill...]

According to the ex-girlfriend, she accidentally discovered nearly a hundred videos of cat torture on Fan’s private computer files.

And, just as Scarlett Jennings said, he was a sadistic psycho who got a kick out of torturing for amusement.

After uncovering her boyfriend’s true nature, she unilaterally proposed a breakup, but never expected to be threatened and harassed by him.

Thus, she decided to leave everything behind and escape this city, to distance herself from such a dangerous individual, never foreseeing that Fan would become so deranged as to target children, causing her great fright.

Because if she had been a step slower, she might have been the one stabbed to death.

In the end, she emphasized on Weibo that she suspected Fan had some kind of mental illness and hoped the police would detain him.

Perhaps seeing the police announcement made this ex-girlfriend bold enough to speak out.

But after reading her long post and her final suspicion, netizens expressed another opinion.

[If it’s true that Fan suffers from some kind of mental illness as the netizens say, then this matter becomes really tricky.]

[As everyone knows, mentally ill patients cannot be sentenced for murder.]

[It was attempted murder in the first place, and if it’s proven he’s mentally ill, he might just walk free!]

[Oh my God, don’t scare me!]

[That’s why he dared to commit the crime at the airport without worrying about getting caught, he did it with confidence!]

[Bad news, torturing cats and dogs can’t be criminally charged right now, but if true... it could become strong evidence of his mental illness. Because prolonged animal torture is also a sign of mental illness.]

[Shit!!]

[I’m really going to swear now! Nobody hold me back!]

In the midst of the boiling comments, another comment suddenly emerged, shocking all the active online onlookers.

[A reliable source.

Just now, Fan has already applied for a mental illness evaluation from the authorities.]
