Chapter 695 A Public Trial


    Lilly snatched ke''s phone, her voice filled with menace. "Dad, screen mirroring, now!"


    ke''s phone had a screen mirroring feature, and even if it didn''t, with tech geniuses like Josh and


    Max present, they would make it happen.


    But what stunned ke was the unfamiliar scenes that appeared in his "surveince footage."


    On the mirrored screen, an elderlydy huddled tightly in stic wrap braved the storm, crying out, "My


    child... open the door, Mom is freezing..."


    The lights in the second-floor room flickered on and quickly went out.


    After a while, the screen turned dark, but upon closer inspection, someone could be seen discreetly


    peeping through the curtain at the olddy lying on the stone bench outside. As soon as they spotted


    her, they hastily closed the curtains.


    It was none other than Daun himself.


    "Do you have anything to say for yourself?" Lilly angrily demanded.


    Daun paled, his face contorted in anguish, and he stammered indignantly, "Y-you... You''re spying on


    my house?! What gives you the right to do that? It''s illegal, no one has the authority...!"


    A police officer interrupted sternly, "Shut up! Do you know who he is? If he didn''t have the authority, no


    one could have investigated. He''s..."


    "I''m the head of the investigative team at the bureau," ke interjected calmly.


    Several officers were taken aback, realizing that there might not be an issue after all.


    Daun turned pale, realizing he was being watched by the investigative team. What did he do to deserve


    this kind of scrutiny? What a waste of their time!


    Shaun and Tom immediately expressed their righteous indignation. "Daun, don''t even try to defend


    yourself! Look at yourself, are you even human? You must have heard our mother calling outside all


    night! You deliberately didn''t open the door! You killed Mom!"


    Daun wanted to argue, but the evidence was right there in front of him. How could he possibly argue?


    It was unknown what brand of the surveince system was used, but it captured everything so clearly,


    even the moment he opened the curtains in the middle of the night.


    Unlike those blurry surveince videos found online, why was the footage in front of his house so


    clear?


    Seeing Shaun and Tom ming him and shifting the me away from themselves, Lilly coldly


    remarked, "It''s not over yet; you''re all involved!"


    The footage continued.


    This time it was at Tom''s house.


    The elderlydy approached Tom''s doorstep, cautiously calling out, "Tom, are you home? Can you


    open the door for Mom... Mom is cold and hungry..."


    Tom''s door remained motionless, with no signs of anyone inside.


    After waiting for a long time, the olddy bowed her head in disappointment and tremblingly left.


    Tom immediately spoke up, "See, I wasn''t home..."


    He couldn''t finish his sentence.


    Suddenly, the door that was just still swung open silently. Tom peered out, cursed under his breath, "It''s


    not my turn this month, why is sheing to me?"


    Then he quickly retreated inside, firmly closing the door.


    Tom''s words stuck in his throat, leaving him no room to defend himself!


    What kind of surveince system was this, where was it installed, and why was even his conversation


    recorded so clearly?


    He was familiar with his doorstep, and there was no surveince there...


    Molly immediately berated him, "Tom, do you have any shame? Just a moment ago, you were


    pretending like it was true!"


    Shaun suddenly hesitated, uncertain of his actions. If Daun and Tom''s houses were captured so clearly,


    could it be possible that his doorstep was also recorded so vividly?


    However, his house was located in a vige without any surveince cameras.


    With newfound courage, Shaun joined in, echoing the usations.


    But Lilly, like a ferocious beast, snapped at them, "None of you are getting away!"


    In the "surveince footage," the image of the elderlydy appeared at the end of the vige road, her


    clothes drenched and sticking to her body as she trembled from the cold.


    Molly, holding an umbre, emerged from a neighbor''s house with a smile on her face, seemingly


    engaged in gossip and ready to cook dinner.


    Suddenly, her expression changed, and she spotted her mother''s figure in the distance.


    She quickly turned onto another small road and only returned to the direction of the town after the


    elderly woman had left.


    It was true that Molly wasn''t at home and had indeed gone to the town.


    But she went to the town because she saw her mother, to avoid her.


    The gazes of the others toward Molly changed. She had just made the most "reasonable" argument,


    and everyone could understand her situation as a married woman living with her inws. It was often


    While it was a difficult situation, it could be somewhat understandable.


    "If I had a daughter like that, I''d strangle her!" an outraged neighbor who was watching the scene


    eximed.


    Another neighbor sneered, "Indeed, she wasn''t at home. After all, she saw her mothering back but


    didn''t return home."


    Molly''s face turned red, and she couldn''t utter a single word.


    Shaun angrily said, "You elder siblings have truly lost your conscience..."


    ke sneered, "Why the rush to speak? It''s your turn now."


    Shaun''s heart skipped a beat.


    Stay calm, stay calm. There''s no surveince at his doorstep!


    Perhaps the child identally passed by and saw it. But who would believe their one-sided words...


    Just as he was thinking this, the screen mirroring shed, and it was truly his turn.


    When the elderlydy arrived at his doorstep, her clothes and hair were soaked, and she trembled


    uncontrobly.


    She knocked on the door for a long time, perhaps out of despair, and started crying when she reached


    Shaun''s house.


    "Shaun, please open the door. Mom has nowhere else to go..."


    In the cold wind, raindrops asionallynded under the eaves. The elderly woman, shivering in the


    raging storm, cried helplessly, wiping away her tears.


    In her eyes, Shaun''s house was her only hope.


    The door indeed opened, and she was taken aback for a moment, then filled with joy and hurriedly


    approached.

    However, Shaun wanted her to leave.


    She begged him to let her in even just to change her clothes, but Shaun was afraid she would linger


    and refused her request.


    Shaun heartlessly shook off his own mother''s hand and told her to go back and find Daun.


    The elderly woman stood in despair in front of the door. Her murky eyes filled with disappointment,


    confusion, and helplessness. Trembling, she turned around and embarked on the path to knock on


    another child''s door...


    The subsequent "surveince" footage was missing.


    Yet, the people present inexplicably envisioned a scene: the frail olddy hobbling along the path to


    each child''s house in the vige, enduring the cold and hunger for over an hour. Amid the typhoon, she


    had only a thinyer of stic wrap to shield her from the rain.


    For two days, she tirelessly walked to and fro between her children''s homes, cold and hungry. She


    struggled, her steps faltering, but she couldn''t knock on any of her children''s doors!


    Eventually, she couldn''t walk any further. She curled up on a stone bench outside Daun''s house, and


    there, she peacefully fell into eternal slumber, never to rise again...
