Chapter 296: Even If I Die, I Won't Be Kidney-Deficient

The guy got arrested — turns out he was a kidnapper. At the time he thought he had a shot, so he grabbed the person, but who would've thought the other side had no money.

Furious, he beat the person to death, then stuffed the body into a freezer, and after that just tossed it out.

He was asked why he'd stuffed it into the freezer.

The answer was that he'd watched a livestream and figured doing it this way would make it impossible to determine the time of death.

That's really a pig's brain right there.

Li Tian was completely speechless — doing it that way only makes it easier for people to crack the case.

If he'd just dumped the body out in the wild, that would've actually been hard to deal with.

But Li Tian wouldn't say any of this, nor bring it up in the livestream room, because that would essentially be making things harder on himself.

Only by keeping things vague could he make those people start to feel afraid and not dare to commit crimes.

When night fell, Chen Fan and the others gathered together. Old Liu briefly explained, saying: "Your First-Class Merit has been sent to your home — it's on the way. You'll see the news tomorrow."

"For real or not?"

"For real, I'm not messing with you. It belongs to you, you should've gotten it. But there's one prerequisite."

: I don't want it.

Chen Fan immediately started cursing up a storm — how could there be so much trouble.

At this point, Old Liu said: "The Outstanding Contribution Award requires a research topic. Where's your topic? Where's your written document?"

Chen Fan froze, looked at the people beside him, and said: "What on earth is this thing?"

Xiang Qinqin said: "It's the kind of thing like a thesis."

Chen Fan agonized for a moment, then said: "I think, Teacher, the First-Class Merit suits you better."

"I don't need it, I don't want to write a thesis, and besides, I hate reading them."

Dammit, Chen Fan was utterly speechless. He quickly ate a couple bites of food, then ducked straight into the computer room and started mulling over his thesis.

Honestly, put plainly, it was just organizing what he'd done before, but with that much workload, it wasn't something that could be finished in a short while.

Li Tian said: "Sigh, this case reminds me of something from before — also a case of faking."

"A case of faking?"

Li Tian said: "Yeah, faking. But the thing is, it's not easy to define. The simplest example — say, you fake a thesis. Does that count as a crime or not?"

No one answered.

Li Tian went on: "Alright then, what if your medical practice license is fake? How do you think that person should be handled — illegal or not illegal?"

"Illegal."

Li Tian nodded and said: "Good. Then what if that person actually saved someone's life? Do you think it's still illegal?"

The question was tossed to everyone at the dinner table, and the group fell silent.

Li Tian continued: "Take liquor for example. How much the liquor itself costs, we know better than anyone. But the price has its highs and lows. Yet with the exact same cost, the price that comes out is different — do you think that counts as illegal or not illegal?"

"Take Chen Fan's calligraphy for another example. I admit, Chen Fan's calligraphy looks really good — even I, an outsider, can see that clearly. But honestly, I don't think any of that stuff is really necessary. Wouldn't it be better to just spend the money on pork ribs?"

That was plain truth.
