Chapter 305

Chen Fan handed it to the man. The man took it with a smile, handcuffed, and said, "Your ability is really scary. I didn't expect you could see the secrets inside people's hearts. Still, I don't want you to keep doing this."

Chen Fan said, "You feel sorry for me, worried I'll get cursed out?"

"You're a good person, don't do these things. Back then, someone actually did the deed. I never thought about taking revenge. I'll go through legal channels, I'll file a lawsuit. But the people I'm looking for—it's not revenge."

Revenge?

The old man was startled too, couldn't make sense of it.

Chen Fan said, "At first I couldn't sleep all night, thinking about it from every angle—does kindness really not exist in this world? Later I figured it out. It's not that kindness doesn't exist. First, the media won't report on kindness. Second, no one pays attention to kindness. The reason you're angry is—were the people who helped your family hurt?"

"Yeah, Auntie Zhang. She used to come visit me all the time, and even helped me curse people out. Actually, for these past five years, this group has been harassing my family's side. When they had nothing to do, they'd come smash things. Even though my dad's been gone for five years, this group is still the same. Some dog lovers treat the area near my house as their place to unwind after drinking."

The man spoke very calmly.

But those words really stung.

How laughable.

This matter.

"Holy shit, I'm gonna lose it, I can't watch anymore, damn."

"First time in my life I think the killer did the right thing."

"Dammit, why, why."

"What's wrong with being a good person? Who did they offend?"

The man and Chen Fan walked forward. The man went on talking to himself: "Auntie Zhang was beaten up by that rich second-generation kid. He gave her some money, and even wanted to humiliate my Auntie Zhang, planning to use the media to deal with her—saying my Auntie Zhang was 040, a deadbeat, stuff like that. This matter was stopped by that man's father."

"And that's why you didn't kill this father?"

"Yeah. If he hadn't stopped it, and had even egged it on, that dog would've bitten two people to death, not one."

"What's the deal with the second woman?"

"Uncle Liu's side—Uncle Liu was actually a worker. He helped my family back then too. Actually, that house, I've been living in it. Uncle Liu used to come visit me a lot, bring me food, take care of me. He helped my family back then too. I'm really grateful to Uncle Liu. Uncle Liu kept trying to persuade me, and I listened. But that woman deliberately refused to pay Uncle Liu, and even went online to slander Uncle Liu, saying Uncle Liu deliberately did a bad job."

"Actually, with that matter, a lot of people were cursing that woman. The woman said she was depressed or something, and people came to Uncle Liu's house to cause trouble. Uncle Liu grabbed something and got into a fight with people. Now he's inside, hasn't been sentenced yet."

Chen Fan said, "Breaking and entering, then fighting back in self-defense—that's not illegal."

"But Uncle Liu's head got beaten really badly."

Chen Fan fell silent.

"The other party wasn't caught?"

"Ran off. Still being hunted."

Chen Fan said, "I'll help out on my end later. Someone like that can't get far."

"You're worried I killed this person, right? Don't worry, I don't have any accomplices—it's all me."

Chen Fan came over here, looked at the old man. The old man said, "Someone called me, said you'd curse me out. If you curse me out, I'll call the police."

Chen Fan said, "I wouldn't curse you out."

Over here, a few blondes came over. The boy said, "Grandma, give me money, I want to go out and play."

Chen Fan smiled as he watched the old man. The old man said, "Good grandson, don't go out to play... sigh."

"You smelly old man, you sure meddle a lot."

Chen Fan stood to the side, smiling as he watched.

The man looked at Chen Fan, a little intimidated, didn't dare meet Chen Fan's eyes.

"Asking my grandma for money isn't illegal, right?"

"Not illegal. Come on, let's do a urine test, that'll settle it."

The few of them had just started to run when Zhang Tianxiong drew his gun and said, "Wanna try? On the anti-gambling side, when we arrest people, we're allowed to open fire. Let's see who's faster."

None of them dared to move. The police ran over and cuffed these kids on the spot.

Chen Fan crossed out the old woman's name.

"You see, bad people always exist."

The man said, "You really don't have to be like this. I know you want to help me get revenge, but I'm a murderer."

"Before the verdict, you're a normal person. Even if you're a murderer, I think, compared to an animal's life, I still know how to tell the difference."

The road was actually very long. Li Tian rushed over here, didn't stop Chen Fan, just kept him company.

Chen Fan went door to door here—a total of thirty-five households.

Including a few reporters, and a few internet celebrities.

Li Tian was speechless here—really couldn't catch them all, couldn't catch them at all. A lot of these people had even committed crimes.

This freaking thing is the most outrageous.

Basically, once Chen Fan said it, this group immediately felt ashamed. Li Tian knew exactly what to do—eighty percent of it was all correct.

This time, Li Tian truly witnessed Chen Fan's terror.

"Kid, this isn't right, this isn't right. Chen Fan, you're morally blackmailing—no, that word isn't right."

"You want to say, everyone makes mistakes."

Li Tian said, "Right, right, right, everyone makes mistakes."

"But did I say I was punishing anyone? Did I point out who made a mistake? I was just saying some things. Did I name anyone? It's these people with guilty consciences, right?"

Seems like that's actually right.

Chen Fan said, "Right, the people were caught by me. This time, you don't get a single cent of the credit."

"I know, I don't deserve it. Back then, I didn't protect that old man well, and I didn't catch that kid either."

Chen Fan said, "Stop trying to morally blackmail me. I don't have any morals. I'm a forensic doctor. I just did what a forensic doctor should do—spoke the facts. We never lie."

You might as well lie. This whole journey, you've straight up turned into King Yama—how many people have you judged?

Chen Fan returned to the forensic office, while Li Tian took that person away.

This person tore off his own face, terrifying many spectators.

Why destroy his own face? Because this child has no choice but to work; back then, after that incident, few people around would use this child anymore.

Sometimes, when encountering those dog-lovers, this group would even go and scold this child.

Chen Fan ate calmly. At the dinner table, Sister Yuanyuan got angry for the first time and said, "It never ends. Why? Why won't they even let a child be?"

Teacher He looked awkward and said, "How would I know these things? But if what this child says is true, then these so-called dog-lovers have their own groups. This group is actually gathered together; even if they disband, you can still find them."

Posting messages, deliberately insulting, and spreading them—this is enough for a prison sentence. Even if you delete the group, the group still exists.

Sister Yuanyuan said, "But it's been five years, five whole years. In the end, the child took revenge because a good person was bullied, yet no one spoke up to avenge his father."

Chen Fan took a bite of meat and said, "Mm, dog meat is truly delicious."

Instantly, the scene fell silent.

Chen Fan said, "Just teasing you. This isn't dog meat."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt something was off.

Chen Fan said, "Very surprising, right? I'll tell you something that will make you feel even worse: does this murderer like dogs, or dislike them?"

After this sentence was spoken, everyone at the dinner table was left speechless.

Chen Fan smiled, took out a photo, and said, "This is a photo of the child when he was young. The dog the child was holding back then had already died of old age, so the child stopped raising it."

At that moment, Li Tian walked in and said, "Someone called the police; there's someone here abusing dogs."

Chen Fan said, "Send the police then."

'How can we send the police? Are you kidding? We can only stir up public opinion, cause a bad influence, and educate them. Go ahead, give me a charge to try!'

Chen Fan said, "Ah, what did this person do?"

"He joined a dog-lovers' group and directly livestreamed killing a dog. Look at what kind of thing this is."

Chen Fan said, "Oh, it has nothing to do with me. Continue eating."

Everyone at the dinner table fell silent; it seemed, it seemed, things were all starting to head in a bad direction.

But this matter cannot be controlled.

Chen Fan continued, "This murderer really likes dogs. Even though his father died because of a dog, this person still understands reason. By the way, let me tell you: this person originally planned to take the civil service exam, but because of his father's matter, he has no choice but not to take it."

"Why? This shouldn't affect him. The old man has no criminal record anyway."

"It shouldn't affect him, but when he went to take the exam, someone recognized him and started scolding him. The schoolmates joined in and scolded this person too."

"Did those people pass?"

Li Tian said, "What you're saying is nonsense. If your scores are high enough, you get in. If your character is bad and it's discovered during the check, you get fired. What else can be done? Should we, because of a pet, make someone else take the blame? This person didn't take the exam because he couldn't stand people pointing fingers at him."

Chen Fan said, "Oh, come on. You just can't believe this child was originally kind, can you?"

Li Tian said, 'Yes. The thing I can least bear in my life is a kind person being forced into crime. A kind person, staring every day at the rope that killed his father, digesting it within himself every day, redeeming himself. What saved this child for five years in this world was not the old man, nor the old man's daughter, but this teenager's conscience and bottom line.'
