Chapter 72
Have you heard? The phantom thief Pelican was caught!
Really? Where did you hear that? Is the phantom thief Pelican so easy to catch? He escaped from the guard team several times before.
Of course it's true! It is said that the phantom thief Pelican caused a big trouble this time. He stole 11 precious cultural relics from the Temon Museum. Each of them is a priceless treasure! Moreover, even the special patrol team was alarmed. It would be strange if the phantom thief Pelican was not caught!
Hum! The water here is not so shallow! I heard that it was a member of the special patrol team who proposed to gather all the forces in the society and let more people help solve the case. Only then did the phantom thief Pelican get caught in a short time.
It's been a month and you still call it a short time? Do you know how scared I have been in the past month, for fear that one day I would go back and see my home invaded by thieves.
No buddy, you can just lie to your brothers, don't lie to yourself. How much property can a mouse living in the Gray River have?
Damn! Are you looking for a fight?
Come on, come on, who's afraid of who?
…
It has been a month since the theft of the Temon Museum.
In the past month, except for the first week when the Fontaine officials made no progress on the case, they gradually got many clues in the rest of the time.
In order to solve the case faster and give the people of Fontaine a peaceful life, Donatello chose to take a different approach after hesitating.
This is his implementation of his own philosophy, he will never allow justice to be delayed!
So Donatello told reporters some inside information about the case, and he caught the phantom thief Pelican with the help of the people.
He was a young man, a high-spirited and very confident young man.
Even when surrounded by the special patrol team and the security team, the phantom thief Pelican did not show a scared expression.
He kept smiling and confessed his actions.
The phantom thief Pelican admitted that he did everything, except the sword lost in the Temon Museum, all the others were done by him.
So far, one of the two main culprits in the theft of the Termon Museum has been arrested, and the remaining gang is temporarily missing.
However, as the hero who solved the case, Donatello did not wait for rewards and promotions, but instead waited for punishment and trial.
This day came quickly, not long after the thief Pelican was arrested. Moreover, this incident left a deep impression on Donatello's daughter, Sciavole, and had a great impact on her.
[He is an upright and good man. ]
In the impression of little Sciavole, her mother, neighbors, colleagues, and even the children next door all evaluated her father Donatello in this way.
But on this day, colleagues who always praised Donatello for his integrity suddenly visited Sciavole's home.
The mother watched them coming and going in the house at a loss. Little Xiawore stayed in the room, but she still vaguely guessed from the quarrel outside that her father had become the "criminal" he had been chasing before, and was now awaiting trial and was likely to be exiled to Melo Petersburg.
"Did Dad... do something wrong?"
She asked the strange adults around her.
The other party choked for a long time and replied:
"... But he is an upright law enforcer."
Donatello, an upright criminal.
After the arrest, the court trial followed.
We don't know the process of the trial, we only know the final verdict.
[... So Mr. Donatello, according to the investigation of this court, you violated the regulations of the guard and leaked the information of the serious case, so you will be sentenced to exile to Melo Petersburg. ]
[Do you have any objection? ]
The judge asked.
In response, Donatello shook his head without any objection.
Thus, the hero who solved the case became a prisoner in an instant.
His crime was only a violation of the rules, but the court could not find out which one it was, or the people behind it were too lazy to find out.
Therefore, even if the best storyteller in Fontaine was invited, it would be difficult to explain to a child why a suspect who was guilty by all evidence was not convicted for a long time; why everyone remained silent when an innocent law enforcer was framed; why many people who saw the crime were unwilling to tell the truth; why the framed person had to sacrifice his future and reputation to invite justice to attend.
Even more difficult to explain is why a good deed of justice must be paved with crime.
But for little Xiawolei, a more practical experience is the sudden change in life after the family moved to the "Gray River".
A narrow house, not so delicious food, friends who can no longer be contacted, and an increasingly tired mother... Although his father's colleagues often came to visit in casual clothes with various things.
They told their mother that everyone was working hard for Mr. Donatello.Not only the members of the guard and special patrol team, but also several rehabilitation officers who are familiar with them participated in the complaint. Although Mr. Donatello's violation of the law is true and his sentence cannot be reduced from the legal perspective, they will at least ensure that Mr. Donatello will not be criticized any more.
But even so, the mother is still worried every day. In order to take care of her mother, Xiao Xiawolei did not hesitate to take up the responsibility that she did not need to bear at such a young age, and stepped into the deep undercurrent of [Gray River].
The changes in her family when she was young will change Xiao Xiawolei's life. She was deeply influenced by her father, and she knew that there was also dirt behind the law. She deeply felt the injustice and would embark on a path that was the same but different from her father Donatello!
Know the law and enforce it, and punish the crime justly!
...
Mo Mang Palace.
Regarding the fact that the hero who solved the theft case of the Temon Museum became a criminal, Funina specifically told Peruvian about it. She wanted to hear what this smart child would think.
This month of getting along made Funina know that little Pepe is not only cute, but also very smart. She has her own unique insights and a mature set of cognitive concepts.
Little Pepe looks small, but in fact she is a little adult.
"Little Pepe, what do you think? Donatello is obviously the hero who solved this case, but because of violating the rules, not only was his credit taken away, but he was also exiled to Melo Petersburg. Isn't this too unfair to him?"
Funina hugged Peruvian from behind, and she put one hand on Peruvian's head and stroked it gently.
Funina likes to touch Peruvian's head.
"I don't know..."
Peruvian shook his head and said.
"But I think this may be a loophole in the judicial organs' execution of the trial process. Sister Finina, I have read the rules of the guard. Although Mr. Donatello violated the rules, he would not be sentenced so severely, unless..."
"Someone in the guard doesn't want him to have an easy life, or someone in the Law Enforcement Court and the Shadow Chasing Court doesn't like Mr. Donatello. I think Mr. Donatello should be slandered and has been accused of many unfounded crimes."
"Well! Little Pepe is really smart."
Finina praised as usual, and then she changed the subject and stopped talking about this matter.
Peruvian is very smart and guessed the key to this matter at once. It is precisely because of this that Finina is reluctant to talk more. She doesn't want Peruvian to be exposed to these darkness too early.
But...
Peruvian has been in the darkness for a long time.
