"I don't really get it."

Sister Yuanyuan said, "Remember that man from before, the one with several girlfriends? He said something — when you see a girl and what's in your eyes isn't the thought of sleeping with her, but normal communication, that kind of thing can attract the other person. And Chen Fan, you naturally have that kind of charm."

"Does that count as charm?"

Sister Yuanyuan said, "Sometimes, some very normal things. Have already become the most extravagant things, and in the end these extravagant things become what everyone cares about most."

The night passed without a word. The next day, the news updated as usual.

Recording some things that had happened, as well as issues concerning youth education and the like.

And everyone, out of habit, woke up early, opened the livestream, came over here, clicked in and found that Chen Fan wasn't at the forensic office, but at the hospital.

Peeling an orange for a girl.

The girl's face was wrapped in bandages. She said, "Did my face disappear?"

Chen Fan said, "Small matter. I gave you a new face. How about it — my craftsmanship isn't bad, right?"

"Huh? You gave me a new one?"

"Don't worry, absolutely good-looking. Way better than the skin you damaged from staying up late. Stay up less from now on."

"Oh oh, where'd you get the skin from?"

"Off the butt."

The conversation instantly got heavy, hey.

The nurse helping with the care on the side nodded approvingly.

Meanwhile, Chen Fan said, "Right, about this — the Laosong Society will give you credit for a major meritorious deed. I know it's tough for you to go to school, but still, I'll give you a sum of money later."

"I don't want it. What would I do with your money? I've got hands and feet, I'll just go to work."

"Mm, that's good then."

Outside the emergency room, Laosong stood under the camera and quietly said, "I've looked into this child's background. The kid — parents divorced. The father married another wife, the mother also remarried. Neither side looked after the child; they left it all to the grandparents."

"And besides, this girl, sigh, has a lot of issues. But if she can be saved, that's a good thing — better than not being able to save her, that's already not bad."

While chatting, Chen Fan walked out of the emergency room and said, "Let's go, drive me back."

Zhang Tianxiong nodded on his end.

Laosong said, "Right, I've handled some things for this girl. Don't say I don't look after people — I'm much more serious and careful than you think."

"Ah, right, right, right, right."

Yeah, right, my ass.

"That woman confessed to her crime. After being drugged and set up by her best friend, she took a knife and hacked her best friend to death, dismembered the body."

"And then?"

Laosong was speechless. He said, "I knew you'd ask about the rest. After being raped, this girl demanded money; the other party didn't pay, so she sued and got the man locked up. Then her family gave her a big sum of money. And after that, the victim started spreading videos around for people to watch. And after that, this woman struck viciously."

Chen Fan said, "The drugs were fake, right?"

????

Laosong said, "How did you know?"

"The drugs were always fake. I knew from the start. I said it — rape takes two people, but if one person needs to take photos, there's no way to help. If the girl doesn't take the initiative, how could the rape really succeed?"

"That doesn't count as rape?"

Chen Fan said, "It counts. The woman wasn't willing in her heart, she just didn't resist that strongly. If she were truly injured, she'd report it. Someone brave enough to dismember a body — you think she really did it over just this one thing for revenge? There must be something else."

Damn it.

Laosong knew he still needed to go back and continue the interrogation. This matter wasn't over — the motive for the killing had to be thoroughly investigated.

At this moment, the two of them came outside and saw the restaurant from before.

A shared restaurant.

Chen Fan smiled and said, "Let me show you something fun."

Shared restaurants — many of them open outside hospitals. Shared restaurants receive certain subsidies, and the interesting thing about this one was that a little problem had cropped up.

A member of the media stood there holding a microphone, conducting an interview, while the owner stood there crying.

Pouring out how hard he had worked.

That the business was already failing.

Chen Fan lit a cigarette and watched from the side.

Laosong frowned. What's there to see here? This is a good deed, isn't it? 》

Chen Fan, would you care about these good-deed things?

Xiaoli Bangmang's woman kept helping by asking questions, while the man poured out his hardships.

Chen Fan squeezed over to the side, took an apple out of his pocket, and munched on it happily.

The owner looked at Chen Fan staring at him, and the more Chen Fan stared, the more the owner felt a bit speechless.

"Chen Fan, what are you looking at?"

"I'm looking at a scammer. What about it? Not allowed?"

The man's face darkened. The media person on the side looked at Chen Fan and prepared to come interview him, saying, "Mr. Chen Fan, what's your view on shared restaurants?"

"What media are you?"

"Xiaoli Bangmang."

"Do you have a work ID?"

The woman froze.

Chen Fan continued, "You're not going to tell me you don't have a work ID and you're running this on your own, are you? Then wouldn't that mean you're reporting fake news?"

The woman said, "Mr. Chen Fan, helping every citizen with good deeds is something we all ought to do."

"How much were you paid?"

Xiaoli was dumbfounded once again and said, "Mr. Chen Fan, I don't understand what you're saying."

0...............

Chen Fan was speechless and said, "Look over there."

Xiaoli said, "Look at what."

"The prices."

The prices?

Xiaoli looked at the price list on the wall and said, "Is there some problem with the prices?"

Chen Fan said, "The price for cooking a dish is five yuan. I didn't read that wrong, did I?"

"That's right."

"Excuse me, family member of the patient over here, did you use anything?"

"Just oil, and some salt and that sort of thing…"

Chen Fan said, "How many jin of oil can five yuan buy?"

Xiaoli was once again completely dumbfounded.

Chen Fan looked at the boss and said, "You just said the business was poorly run, very hard, and you wanted to shut it down… then go ahead and shut it down…"

The man ignored Chen Fan and tried to leave.

At this point, Old Song wasn't going to indulge him and got the handcuffs ready.

"Did I break the law? On what grounds are you detaining me?"

"Take a guess?"

Old Song laughed coldly.

The man said, "I didn't break the law. I'm doing charity. Without me, these people wouldn't even have a place to cook, and buying vegetables and such would be very expensive."

Chen Fan directly found a family member and said, "Who's sick in your family?"

"My second uncle."

"We're live-streaming here. If you lie, you'll have to bear legal responsibility…"

"I… they paid me, hired me to come."

Chen Fan said, "So that's how it is. If I remember correctly, the processing fee at a typical shared kitchen is usually one yuan, at most two yuan, depending on how long it takes. What do your five yuan and ten yuan mean? That's more expensive than boxed meals."

The man didn't dare look at Chen Fan.

"Don't go. I haven't added Ma Saike yet. Don't go. You'll have to go in later."

The man said, "How did I break the law? Where exactly did I break the law?"

"Defrauding donations, false pricing, fake news—those all count as breaking the law, don't they?"
