Chapter 425

And the child was just left at home, forgotten by everyone.

The uncle said he was going to visit his nephew, but no one went to visit him.

This matter is very serious.

"I said it at the time—the child was still young. Didn't I tell you, the people from the community promised to go look after the child? So why didn't anyone go?"

The man's words were like a knife, stabbing into everyone's heart.

Old Song said, "It's because you have a prior record, isn't it."

The man didn't speak, silently lowering his head.

The man was let go, sat down at the table, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes—such a big, broad-shouldered, thick-waisted man, crying like a child.

That was also a rare sight.

The man said, "He's the only family I have. After I got out, the child's parents were gone, so I took him in and looked after him. I've been working hard every day, giving the child money to spend. On what grounds are you bullying my nephew?"

Chen Fan said, "Your nephew has been helping you save money all along."

"Save money? I get it now. That kid kept telling me he wanted to introduce me to someone, get me married and all that. I said I didn't want any of that, just put him through college and that would be enough."

Old Song just threw the handcuffs straight onto the ground, damn it.

: 'Fuck, I'm going to go arrest people. These community trash, I'll arrest them all together.'

Chen Fan said, "You have the right?"

'How could I not? The people in charge here, I'm going to investigate every one of them. If even one person had taken it seriously, would the child have died?'

Chen Fan said, 'Isn't it because everyone didn't take it seriously precisely because this person had made mistakes before? Didn't Li Tian look for the culprit among those who had committed offenses last time? What's the difference this time?'

Old Song stood rooted to the spot.

Chen Fan said, "Can you really do it, with no prejudice in your heart?"

Old Song didn't speak, then said, "I'm going out for a cigarette. You all chat."

Chen Fan and the man walked into the room. The man took out an iron box and said, "My nephew's money is all in here."

"Then why didn't you bring the child's remains back? Bury them."

"I only just got out not long ago. The remains have been kept at the funeral home."

Chen Fan looked at the money in the box, counted it up, and said, "You never spent any of it, right?"

"Never spent it. Why would I spend the kid's money for no reason?"

"Then that man who beat your nephew—it wasn't just that. It seems robbery is involved too."

This matter needed someone to take the fall. The criminal intent in Chen Fan's heart began to sprout.

In the observation room, Old Luo said, "If that's the case, then that person is in danger."

In danger?

Teacher He said, "What do you mean?"

"Because if it was just assault and the child starved to death, that counts as manslaughter. But if robbery is added in, it easily becomes the death penalty. But what Chen Fan said is also true—the money in the box really doesn't add up. The subsidy money is usually fixed, and the way the child saved money was just that much."

Qin Ming said, "Chen Fan is steering this case toward robbery."

Teacher Luo said, "Right, but the method is reasonable. It's not illegal, because robbery really is involved. Didn't those kids commit robbery? Just bullying? It's more than that, isn't it? Snatching money and demanding money to spend—although they're two different concepts, they can also be classified as the same type."

Teacher He asked, "Then how do you tell them apart?"

"Simple. When beating the child, did they take money directly off the child's body? If it happened once, it's robbery. Lock them up."

????

How could there not be? Anyone who's been to school knows how this works.

Chen Fan looked at the knife on the child's cabinet and said, "Oh, why did this kid buy this thing?"

"He was being bullied, so he secretly bought it. I stopped him. I made mistakes, but I can't let my nephew make mistakes."

Chen Fan measured it against his hand and said, "This knife isn't bad. It really could kill someone."

After saying that, he casually placed the knife beside the man.

He didn't pick it up.

The man looked at the knife and fell into deep thought.

Chen Fan said to Zhang Tianxiong, "Let's head back."

Zhang Tianxiong didn't think much of it and followed Chen Fan back.

When they returned to the seminar, Old Zhou quietly held a cigarette in his mouth and said, "Chen Fan, did you just do something wrong?"

"Do something wrong?"

"You kid… sigh."

An hour later, Li Tian kicked open the door and burst in, grabbing Chen Fan by the clothes with both hands, saying, "You… are you 080 crazy? Chen Fan, you're a devil. Why? Give me a reason. Tell me."

"What are you talking about? I don't understand."

"Don't understand? That knife—why did you bring it up?"

; 'I saw it, that's all.'

"You could have not said anything. You said it. How could that man stay calm under those circumstances? Do you know what happened?"

; 'I don't know, and I don't want to know. It has nothing to do with me.'

"Both the man and the child are dead. The man went crazy, rushed over, and stabbed the man to death right there. I was still searching for evidence at the time."

"Insufficient evidence, he wouldn't confess, you had to let him go."

Li Tian was speechless, then said, "Right, but now the child is dead. Do you understand that or not?"

Chen Fan said, "I know."

Li Tian stared hard at Chen Fan and said, "You're something. You're ruthless, I'll give you that."

Chen Fan laughed coldly and said, "I didn't break the law, and I didn't violate any rules. Why are you saying this? I just mentioned the knife in passing. I knew this child wanted to kill those kids. I just told the family what the child was thinking."

"You don't have to say it."

Chen Fan stood directly in front of Li Tian and said, "Do you think I should say it? If it were you, would you say it?"

"Yes. Notifying the family is our duty."

"Right, it is our duty. I also know that notifying them will cause problems. But should we hide it? Will they sue you later? Or sue me?"

Chen Fan's words were as cold as the Grim Reaper.

Li Tian sat directly on the ground and said, "He has been saved! That man has been saved! That man is truly saved."

Chen Fan said, "In the room, the man often picked up a knife to measure with. I found wounds on the man's neck and also on his wrist. He was preparing to die."

Li Tian's eyes were empty.

Why did this case turn out like this?

He was saved, yet he was not saved.

Because this man decided to die.
