67: Helping Others

Helping Others

Ben shook his head in embarrassment. "This...shouldn't be possible. The police here know me, that's why they gave it to me. If it's from another province...it might be possible if Master Franklin approaches them."1

Lauren let out a mournful howl and collapsed on the sofa.

"System Divine Nine, can we really not hack into the police station's computer? I've already learned that part. I can succeed in one try!"

[System Divine Nine: No, this kind of behavior that endangers public order is prohibited. If you do it, there will probably be a punishment. Have you forgotten what happened last time?]

Lauren shook her head. How could she forget!

Once, she saw a pregnant woman about to give birth, so she used a little trick to modify the traffic light system along the road. The pregnant woman successfully arrived at the hospital with all the traffic lights green.

However, this incident also had a butterfly effect. The pedestrians and other means of transportation along the road were affected.

In the world of this system, rewards and punishments were always clear. Although helping others was their biggest mission and goal, they could not implicate or affect innocent people because of this.

In particular, such a large-scale disruption might expose the existence of these systems.

As a result of the traffic light incident, Lauren was deducted three rewards, and she had to complete three missions for free.

Ever since then, she had been much more cautious in her actions. She could not be a hacker, and she did not want to beg others humbly. Lauren could only rely on herself to find a way out.

On the other side, Ben the "traitor" started working again. He told Franklin all about Lauren's troubles.

"Missing child's report records? What does she need these for?"

At this time, Franklin was driving on the way home with Quinn. There were some traffic jams on Sunday night, and it took several minutes for the car to move forward. Franklin immediately turned on the speaker.

"In order to help the mother who lost her daughter at the amusement park find her child, Miss Torres has been going to the amusement park every day."

"Got it. I'll contact the police officer over there and have them send over these files."

"Alright, Master Franklin. Miss Torres will definitely be overjoyed if she finds out that you helped her!"

"Mm, let me know if there's anything else."

Ben answered immediately and hung up the phone.

Quinn had heard from Franklin about Lauren's special abilities. Of course, he would not believe it if he had not experienced it firsthand. He only felt that these things were just coincidences and feints.

"This brat..."

Franklin glared at Quinn.

"What is this brat playing at? She even wants police files? Does she really think she's the savior of the world?" Quinn laughed disdainfully.

Franklin was too lazy to explain to Quinn.

Initially, Franklin's attitude was the same as Quinn's. He didn't think much of it, but in the end, he had no choice but to be convinced by the facts before him.

After returning home, Franklin immediately contacted the police officers in charge of other provinces and cities and asked them to send the case files that met the requirements to his office.

As for why he did not send them directly to Lauren? Of course, it was because he wanted to take credit for it. The old ways had always won people's hearts.

Lauren did not sleep for almost the entire night. She had been analyzing these cases, trying to find the similarities between these missing children.

In the past two years, there had been a total of nearly 700 cases of missing children in the city. Among them, more than 200 children had been successfully found, and more than 400 children were still missing.

However, all the clues were gone, so the police did not continue to investigate.

According to the recent records of the case files, many parents did not give up on searching for their children. They would go to the police station to update their files every once in a while.

Among the children who went missing and were not found, 70% of them were between the ages of two to six years old. They had gone missing in all kinds of places, such as restaurants, amusement parks, kindergartens, parks and so on.

They seemed to be a disorderly mess, but they all had something in common.

First, these were all crowded public places. Under such circumstances, it was difficult to determine how the children actually got lost, and most of the investigation results were fruitless.

Secondly, many children gathered in these places. So parents would be less guarded, giving others a chance to attack.

Lauren flipped through the files seriously while taking notes.

The children in the photos looked different, but they all had very innocent smiles and pure eyes. How sad their families were when they lost them.

Only ten children between the ages of 10 and 14 had gone missing.
