Evangeline looked back at the live streamer, whose eight fingers had been cut off, remaining quite calm. She stroked Dexter's head reassuringly and said, "It's fine. We have to believe in the law. Since you didn't mean it, he can't extort you."

Dexter smiled and nodded. "You really know a lot."

"Let's stay away from him," Evangeline suggested. "He might roll over and hurt you." Evangeline and Dexter walked away from the man and the nearby pile of feces water. The remaining live streamers were so frightened that they immediately fled, not daring to get too close.

Evangeline took her phone from Dexter's pocket and called both the police and an ambulance. Even though Dexter hadn't acted deliberately, he had still injured the person. Calling the police was necessary to handle the situation; leaving would only make him appear guilty and lead to greater trouble. The police and ambulance arrived almost simultaneously.

As the live streamer was carried into the ambulance, he cried out to the police, "Sir, that man cut off my fingers! Arrest him! Don't let him escape! I want him to pay for it and go to jail!"

The policeman asked Dexter, "What happened? Is he telling the truth?"

Dexter shook his head. "That's not true. I was spinning the knife, but I wasn't good at it, so the knife accidentally flew out. I didn't know he snuck behind me and reached out his fingers. The knife I threw accidentally cut off his fingers."

"I suspect he deliberately did that to extort money from me. You must investigate it seriously."

The live streamer growled angrily, "Bullshit! I've never thought about that!"

Dexter, looking confused, responded, "Then that's strange. Why did you sneak behind me and even reach out your fingers to let them be cut off? I truly don't understand why you raised your hand behind me and stretched out your fingers to let them be cut off."

"Even if you were just accidentally passing by behind me, your posture shouldn't have been like that."

The live streamer's expression was sullen. "That's not the point! Anyway, you did it on purpose. If not, how could the knife accidentally thrown out be so strong as to cut off eight of my fingers?"

Dexter replied, "Maybe because that knife is really sharp."

"You're quibbling," the live streamer insisted. "Anyway, you have no evidence to prove that you didn't do it on purpose. You have to compensate me for my medical expenses and mental damages, and you will go to jail!"

At that moment, Arthur stepped forward and handed a phone to the policeman. He explained, "He was live streaming just now, and the camera was aimed at the crime scene. The live-stream recording has captured the whole process. You can take a look at it. It may be helpful for judging who is right."

After the live streamer's fingers were cut off, Arthur had noticed the phone behind them. He silently retrieved it, turned off the live stream, and found the recording. He had checked the recording and confirmed there was nothing incriminating for Dexter and Evangeline.

The policeman took the phone. The live streamer was a little flustered and wanted to take his phone back, but the doctor had already started moving him, and he didn't dare to waste too much time for fear of delaying the time to sew his fingers back on.

Evangeline, Dexter, and Arthur followed the police to the police station.

The police took their statements in turn and watched the live-streaming recording. In the video, Dexter kept looking ahead and didn't look back. When the live streamer approached them, Dexter's reaction was normal; it couldn't be seen that he noticed someone approaching them. The scene of him spinning the knife and accidentally throwing it out also appeared to be an accident.

The police also heard the live streamer's illegal remarks when they watched the recording. The live streamer kept asking his followers to buy him gifts and even said that he would scold Evangeline and "take off her pants as required" if he got enough gifts. He was injured by the knife thrown by Dexter because he was about to carry out an illegal act.

Evangeline and Dexter also watched the video. Evangeline was expressionless, and Dexter quietly memorized the accounts that had harshly criticized Evangeline, as well as those who had bought gifts to demand "punishment" for her.

After watching it, Evangeline asked, "Can I sue that live streamer?"

The policeman nodded. "Yes. He was ready to hurt you. Although he was interrupted, we can still sue him."

"His behavior is very bad. Even if you don't sue him, our police will still sue him for causing trouble."

"This kind of behavior must be severely punished. Otherwise, more live streamers will do illegal things in the name of upholding justice for their own benefit!"

As an ordinary citizen, that live streamer had no right to enforce the law. But he wanted to punish Evangeline in the name of "punishing evil and upholding justice," which not only hurt Evangeline but also provoked the authority of the police and questioned their impartiality. It was impossible for him not to be held accountable.

The policeman told Dexter, "You didn't deliberately hurt him, and he was injured when he was about to commit illegal acts, so you won't be investigated for criminal responsibility. You can leave now. However, you may have to come here again after the live streamer recovers. Although you didn't hurt him on purpose, you may have to make humanitarian compensation. It depends."

According to the scenes in that video, it was impossible to convict Dexter at all. To others, Dexter might appear to be a truly unlucky person. This is because in the video, the knife flew out a little earlier than the live streamer raised his hand. It seemed that the live streamer deliberately raised his hand and approached the knife when he saw the knife flying out.

"How's the investigation going on about the incident last night?" Evangeline asked.

Although these policemen were not in charge of the case last night, they also knew something about it. They said, "There are many victims in that case, and their statements haven't been finished yet. Many victims collapsed after seeing their videos, so it might take a long time. Before the investigation is completed, we can't issue an announcement in advance, so you may have to bear with it first." Evangeline nodded understandingly. During dinner, Dexter had already told her about the contents of the evidence he submitted.

Jackson not only took upskirt photos for sale but also took sexual videos for sale. More than 30 people were involved, and many of those girls were unconscious in the videos. Jackson's girlfriend suffered the greatest loss. There were dozens of videos about her, and she was unconscious in each of them. Those men in the videos didn't expose their faces, but judging from their exposed parts, it could be seen that they were not the same person.

Jackson earned millions of dollars in three years mostly from these videos, and the profits from those upskirt photos were only a small part. Moreover, he didn't take upskirt photos randomly. He would choose some people to take photos of their faces and bodies and post them on shady websites. Then his customers would select their favorites and pay.

After that, some of his customers would ask for a few photos as samples. If they were satisfied, they would pay Jackson to "hook up" with the selected person. Then Jackson would look for opportunities to shoot videos. Jackson could earn tens of thousands of dollars after a whole process. Jackson was the top student in the college entrance examination and a prestigious university student. He knew how to spend money on dressing himself up, and he also had a disguised gentlemanly demeanor, so it was easy for him to "hit on" someone.

But it didn't mean that his target would be willing to date or have a further relationship with him. Some people just wanted more friends and connections. Jackson didn't care about that. He only needed to know them and have a chance to have dinner with them. Then he would drug them during the meals. That drug could make people completely unconscious and unable to remember what had happened when they woke up. After seeing the videos, those girls still had no impression at all and couldn't believe it was true. But they did fall asleep inexplicably after having dinner with Jackson, so they had to believe it.
