Awakening the Daily Intelligence System-Chapter 827 - 415, Han Couple
Aix also noticed that Jack seemed a bit down after coming out of the cave, so he didn’t want to make things awkward by talking. Instead, he took out his walkie-talkie, tuned to the correct channel, and said, "Report, a kilometer south of the Han Family, on the east side of the forest, we found two bodies, a man and a woman, suspected to be the Han Couple."
No sooner had Aix finished speaking, than the voice of Alicia Linder, acting team leader of Criminal Investigation Team One, came through the walkie-talkie:
"Understood, protect the scene, we’re heading over right now."
Meanwhile, Jack was sitting on a rock below the cave, when the cold electronic voice of the system suddenly rang in his mind:
"Ding, task distribution completed, please check on your own, Host."
The sudden system alert made Jack’s eyes light up.
The system releasing a task at this moment might be related to this case!

Thinking of this, the gloom in his heart was instantly dispelled, and he hurriedly summoned the light screen with a mental command:
[Task Content: Please conduct judgment on the criminal who killed the Han Couple within forty-eight hours.]
[Task Reward: Triple reward points, Advanced Search Card x1.]
[Failure Penalty: Random.]
After reading the task released by the system, Jack finally felt at ease, worried that the system’s task might not be related to this case.
However, since the system already released the task, the next matter on the surface needs to be left to the criminal investigation team to handle.
Secretly, Jack had already made up his mind to definitely strike and reprimand the murderer. The judgment livestream that hadn’t been on for four days was about to welcome new visitors!
He looked up around him, the oppressive atmosphere still lingered in the woods, yet his eyes were filled with determination, as if he had already seen the moment the murderer would be judged. He sat quietly on the stone, waiting for the arrival of the criminal investigation team, while also planning in his heart the next actions, thinking about how to complete the system’s task within the given time and let justice prevail.
When Alicia Linder arrived with her team, the matters at the scene had nothing to do with Jack and Aix. Even the task of protecting the scene and maintaining order, which might have fallen to them, no longer involved them.
Helplessly, they had no choice but to drag their tired bodies back on foot to the police dormitories at the North Suburb station.
Jack had gotten up especially early this morning to catch the bus, followed by a two-hour ride. As soon as he got off, he was pulled into a mission, and eventually helped find the bodies of the couple.
The events of this day, others might not encounter even once in a year.
Thinking of these, Jack felt the tide of fatigue overpower him and unknowingly fell into a deep sleep.
As for Aix, after Jack fell asleep, he quietly and stealthily left the police dormitory.
...
Early the next morning, Jack was awakened by the news alert sound from his phone. Groggily, he opened his phone, and found it full of news about the bodies discovered in the cave yesterday.
"Two bodies found in the North Suburb, gruesome deaths, suspected vendetta killing!"
"Missing couple turned into corpses in a cave, what hidden secrets lie behind this?"
"Innocent couple brutally murdered, the wife’s body covered in scars, why is the killer so cruelly callous?"
"Latest news, someone had witnessed four young teenage boys sneaking into the victims’ home, could the killers actually be minors?"
"Teenage killers at large, facing a maximum sentence of only ten years even if caught?"
"..."
Jack scrolled through these news articles one by one, and couldn’t believe that within just one night, the police already identified suspects, which truly surprised him.
Since he hadn’t asked the system for the murderers’ information, emotions like confusion and anger suddenly filled his heart when he saw that the suspects were minors.
He really couldn’t understand what deep-seated grievance those killers had against the Han Couple to torture them to death.
Just as Jack was looking at his phone, Chief David opened the door and walked in. David looked at Jack and Aix, a smile on his face, and said, "Oh, we’ve been busy all night, and you two are still sleeping. Hurry up and get up, I got you a job to take notes, a chance to directly participate in the interrogation, it’s a rare opportunity, you should hurry up."
From Chief David’s words, Jack could tell that those murderers seemed to have already been caught. But how could it be so soon?
Counting the time since Old Man Han reported to the police, it hadn’t even been a full day, Jack was astonished at how quickly the police managed to capture the culprits.
Nonetheless, surprising as it was, Jack quickly got up and dressed. He was curious to see why these killers brutally targeted the Han Couple.
After Jack and Aix got dressed, they followed Chief David out of the dormitory.
At this time, Aix was like an inquisitive child, eagerly asking, "Chief, how did you catch the murderers?"
Chief David, who participated in the capture last night and was hoping for someone to brag to, beamed with joy as Aix’s question hit the spot. His face lit up with an even brighter smile, "You asked the right person. After we found the bodies yesterday afternoon, we discovered a lost bank card near them. We checked with the bank and found that this bank card belonged to the Han Couple."
