The next afternoon.
A piece of trending news suddenly erupted all over Weibo: A murderer from a case in Changning County 12 years ago has been released.
As a "person-of-interest," Meng Jinyang's name was a hotly searched term.
A lot of commercial accounts, out to "eat blood-soaked dumplings" [1. A Chinese expression used to describe people who use others' misfortune for their own benefit.], praised her for being strong and made her out to be an inspiration, and sensationalized the news.
They especially drew attention to the fact that Meng Jinyang even attained the first rank in her Year Three monthly examinations. Every single word seemed to be a piece of breaking news in the media's eyes. News about Meng Jinyang was ubiquitous.
The phones in Ming City High School's office almost malfunctioned under the volume of calls from the media who wanted to interview Meng Jinyang.
