Wen Wen did not cast his vote blindly this time. The people arrested before had gotten what they deserved, and their deaths were no matter.
But this time, regarding Ning Zhewuan, Wen Wen lacked concrete intelligence and would not decide a person's fate based solely on the word of a judge.
Previously, Wen Wen had investigated the criminals executed by this judge multiple times. Most of them were from Shenchuan City in Kangning Province, so the judge was likely also from Shenchuan City.
Wen Wen rapidly typed on his keyboard, investigating Ning Zhewuan through his own channels and the Hunter's Association's channels.
After a while, the information was transmitted back. Wen Wen frowned after reading it.
The information was very ambiguous, neither proving Ning Zhewuan's innocence nor truly confirming that he had killed those eight people.
"Do I have to go there myself?"
Wen Wen rubbed his forehead. Although he wanted to meet the judge, it wasn't the right time. San Zai'er hadn't learned to fly a plane yet, and Wen Wen didn't want to fly himself.
"I'll go take a look after San Zai'er learns. Investigating an ordinary person won't take me much time."
As Wen Wen was about to turn off his computer, a pop-up window suddenly appeared on the screen with voting options.
"So urgent. It seems the judge desperately wants an answer."
After some thought, Wen Wen still cast a death vote. The remaining ten thousand or so people were mostly of an extreme inclination, so even if Wen Wen didn't vote for death, the outcome would be the same.
Moreover, based on Wen Wen's understanding of these judgment videos, once he voted the other way, he would no longer be able to follow up on this matter.
After closing the laptop, Wen Wen shook his head, not thinking too much about it, and continued his training.
This judge was merely a form of entertainment for him.
He, like Wu Wang, found this person interesting and wanted to watch what happened.
The next morning, Wen Wen bid farewell to the demon hunters of Xihong City and brought Tao Qingqing to the rooftop where the plane was parked.
The pilot bid Wen Wen farewell with a complex expression. He never dreamed that this snake would truly learn all the operations of the plane in just one night, even mastering it better than him.
San Zai'er excitedly waved to Wen Wen and the two of them. It had just learned to fly a plane and was eager to show off to Wen Wen.
Wen Wen shrugged and said to San Zai'er, "Go to Shenchuan City in Kangning Province, and let me see your skills."
The wings deployed, the plane lifted into the air, and then flew diagonally towards the sky.
With a slight tremor, the scenery below grew smaller and smaller. Then, the plane pierced through the clouds, revealing cotton candy-like clouds everywhere, obscuring the view of the ground.
Wen Wen leaned by the window and watched for a while, then lay down on the single bed in the plane, his expression somewhat bored.
This was not his first time on a plane. After the initial excitement wore off, the plane was just that.
It was only slightly more stable than ordinary planes, had more spacious private space, looked better, and flew faster…
Wen Wen suddenly said to Tao Qingqing, "My new ride should have a name. What do you guys think..."
"I think it doesn't need a name," Tao Qingqing replied politely to Wen Wen.
San Zai'er made squeaking sounds, indicating its strong agreement with Tao Qingqing's words.
"Hmm... alright then."
Wen Wen was well aware of his own naming abilities. After Tao Qingqing objected, he didn't insist, but he felt a bit displeased. He decided to find some troublesome tasks for Tao Qingqing after they landed.
...
"Alright, this class ends here. Students, preview the next lesson's content when you get home."
The students happily left the classroom. The young teacher, wearing glasses, tidied up the textbooks on his desk.
After the last student left the classroom, the young teacher's smile vanished, replaced by a cold, even terrifying, expression.
He was Ning Zhewuan, a graduate of a prestigious university in Huafu. No one knew why he came to this small extracurricular tutoring school in Shenchuan City to work as a cram teacher.
But he himself knew very well what he was doing here.
People often said that good deeds are rewarded and evil deeds are punished, but Ning Zhewuan did not believe in retribution.
The person who selflessly saved the lives of dozens, even hundreds, of children was as fragile as glass. With a gentle push from the greedy, he shattered on the ground, swept into the trash, and forgotten by everyone.
Meanwhile, those who spread malice with impunity lived their lives in comfort, perhaps carelessly breaking more innocent glass at any moment.
To Ning Zhewuan, this was twisted and ugly.
Ning Zhewuan wanted to correct all of this, ensuring that good people were rewarded and bad people received their due punishment.
So he returned here, the place where it all began.
He placed a resignation letter on the lectern, then took off his glasses, slicked his hair back with some hair gel, styling it into a pompadour.
"From today onwards!"
...
The plane's speed was extremely fast. In just over an hour, Wen Wen reached his destination.
San Zai'er skillfully landed the plane in the courtyard of the local Hunter's Association outpost. Then, Wen Wen and Tao Qingqing set off to find Ning Zhewuan.
To determine if Ning Zhewuan was innocent, directly asking him was the most convenient method.
Wen Wen had already grasped most of the information about Ning Zhewuan, so he immediately went to the extracurricular tutoring school.
However, to Wen Wen's surprise, Ning Zhewuan had already submitted his resignation.
It was unclear whether his resignation was voluntary or if he was forced by the accomplice.
Wen Wen then found the principal of the tutoring school and pointed a gun at the old principal's forehead, almost scaring him into wetting himself.
Tao Qingqing stood at the doorway, speechless. She didn't understand why Wen Wen was so interested in this case, nor why he was intimidating the principal.
Wen Wen said sinisterly, "From childhood to adulthood, I've hated extracurricular tutoring the most. And I'm also mentally ill. If I get unhappy..."
"The former principal was your brother, right? Tell me everything you know about him, and about the orphanage you built back then..."
Startled by Wen Wen, the old principal spilled everything like a bamboo tube pouring out beans.
Wen Wen didn't just threaten people with a gun randomly. According to the information Wen Wen had gathered, this old principal was also one of the responsible parties for the orphanage collapse that year, and he should have borne more responsibility than the eight deceased individuals.
However, he did not suffer 'accidental death.' On the contrary, he had a good relationship with Ning Zhewuan.
If Ning Zhewuan was truly seeking revenge for the orphanage incident that year, there would have been no reason to spare this old principal.
