C2354 A Helpless Scam
When Faang Cheng saw the unnatural expression on the old man's face, he knew that this matter wouldn't be as simple as it seemed! So he walked forward and went to check the boy's corpse. Then he frowned slightly, and his expression gradually became somewhat ugly.
"This child has been dead for at least six to seven hours, which is yesterday evening! Then I would like to ask, the child has already passed away for so long. Why did you only come to the porridge shed now? What were you doing before? What did you do after the child died in an accident? Did you find a doctor? Did you report to the government? Or is it to say... you didn't do anything, just waiting until now... When there are a lot of people in the porridge shed, are you going to bring your child here to 'seek justice'?"
Faang Cheng's words were very direct and crude. The old man's face turned red when he heard it, and he didn't even dare to raise his head to look at Faang Cheng. He turned around and wanted to carry the child's corpse and leave, but was stopped by Yu Yien and Wufei, who were standing beside him.
"A human life is not something that you can end as you wish. Even if he is your family's child, if he was killed by his own family, his family will be punished accordingly! "
Yu Yien looked at the old man and said word by word, clearly.
The old man was stunned on the spot. He did not dare to raise his head to look at Yu Yien, nor did he dare to lower his head to look at the child in his arms. He could only stare blankly at the ground, not knowing what to do.
"What? The child has been dead for so long?"
"Yeah, I thought the child suddenly died, so the adults came here to seek justice!"
"This... It was after a night of careful deliberation that this matter was pushed to the jade porridge shed!"
The eyes of the crowd were always bright and clear, and they immediately discovered the key problem!
Faang Cheng turned his head and looked at the back of the old man. After thinking for a while, he continued to speak.
"And the person in charge of the congee shed was right. The congee came out from the same big pot. Other people can drink it, but your child has a problem. Don't you think you should find the key points through other channels? Perhaps... there are people who deliberately want to harm him... Hence, there was still a need for the authorities to intervene. Investigate this thoroughly!"
"There's no need... there's no need to investigate!"
Suddenly, the old man knelt on the ground and hugged the child's corpse as he cried loudly!
"It's me... It's me who caused Second Brother's death!"
Hearing the old man's words, Faang Cheng and the others revealed a "I knew it" expression. However, when they saw the dirty old man holding the thin child's corpse and kneeling on the ground, crying like a ball, it still made them feel very sad. This kind of scene... Most people would think that this old man had his own difficulties!
"Old man, this... exactly why?"
Wufei took a step forward, squatted beside the old man, and asked in a somewhat incomprehensible manner! He looked at the child in the old man's arms and seemed to recall his past self. He felt a little uncomfortable in his heart!
"I... I have no other choice!"
The old man cried as he answered Wufei's question!
"Four years ago, my son and daughter-in-law threw three children to me and my old partner and ran out to work. But from that moment on, they never came back! It is already very difficult for me and my old companion, two old men, to raise the three children! Two years ago, my old companion passed away! I am the only one left with three children! I really... really can't take care of them! Three children, one eight years old, one six years old. I... I can't help it..."
When the old man said this, he cried even harder!
"Second Brother's body is not good to begin with! He was even infected with lung disease before the New Year, I really... I really can't bring out money to treat him. As a grandfather, I can only watch him get more and more uncomfortable. I'm getting weaker and weaker, I... I can't help it! However, there was something more important... I still have two children to feed! I still have two children to feed..."
As the old man speaks, he hugs his grandson and kneels on the ground as he cries silently!
"I also have no choice, I really have no choice..."
"So... you abandoned this grandson, to the extent where you want to use the death of this grandson to earn some money, so that you can feed the other two grandsons, right?"
Yuan Yue understood what he meant!
The old man didn't reply, and he only knelt there as he cried with heart-wrenching grief!
When Faang Cheng heard the old man's words, he really had nothing to say! He did not know how to resolve such a matter. On the moral and moral level, what the old man did was absolutely wrong. But... what about returning to humanity and relationships? Was... was he really wrong? If there was no one to help him, his grandfather would choose another path. He would try his best to save his second grandson's life. In the end... His other two grandsons would also starve to death! He had no choice but to do this!
Faang Cheng could understand, but he could not accept it! He knew that if he was in that situation, he might not be able to come up with a very accurate solution, but... he was not that old man. Based on his current understanding, what this old man did was wrong. There was nothing wrong with that!
"Sigh!"2
Faang Cheng sighed. He looked at the old man, then at the child in his arms. After thinking for a while, he turned to look at Wufei.
"Wufei, I will give you a mission!"
"Big Brother Faang, tell me!"
When Wufei heard that Faang Cheng had something to tell him, he immediately stood up straight and looked at him seriously.
"Take the old man to bury the child first! Then... take the old man and the other two children to the inn to find us!"
Faang Cheng instructed as he took out two gold ingots from his purse and placed them in Wufei's hands.
"Okay!"
Wufei nodded to show that he understood. He put away the money and went to help the old man up. He also took the poor, thin child from the old man's hand and walked in another direction with the old man.
Faang Cheng watched Wufei walk away with the old man and could not help but sigh.
"That old man... What should we do with him?"
Yuan Yue didn't know what to do. She knew that this old man had killed her grandson, but she also knew that if there was a way, this old man wouldn't choose to do it! The most difficult thing to solve by law was this kind of case!
"It doesn't matter what I think. I want to know what Chang Yuqi would think and how he would handle such a case!"
Yuan Yue couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this. Then, she understood what Faang Cheng meant.
"You want Chang Yuqi to decide the outcome of this case?"
"En! If you want him to become the City Lord of Sun City, there must be an interview! Let's see how he deals with this matter!"
Faang Cheng smiled and nodded his head!
