Chapter 591: The Daughter Killed the Father

"He had clearly long since made up his mind to atone in this way, but in the end, after killing that mistress, he actually backed out."

"He told me he'd absolutely never find another one, that he'd support me forever, that I was his only daughter."

"On what grounds? I suffered for over ten years, and now he says he doesn't want to? What about my mother then?"

Ma Yingying was extremely agitated.

The whole case had become clear.

"So at that moment, you picked up that axe and ended your father's life."

Chen Fan said.

Ma Yingying let out a cold laugh: "Yes, I ended him with my own hands. He'd been clinging to life for over a dozen years already—he should have gone to see my mother long ago. No, he doesn't deserve it!"

"He deserves to rot in the eighteenth level of hell. My mother has long been in heaven. How could he possibly deserve that?"

The live-stream chat's comments surged wildly.

"So that's how it is—so Ma Shan felt guilty toward Ma Yingying and Ma Yingying's biological mother, so he wanted to kill Ma Yingying's stepmother, then end his own life, and leave all his assets to Ma Yingying and the other two children?"

"No, I don't really get it—guilt is one thing, but why suicide? If he felt guilty, shouldn't he have treated Ma Yingying even better??"

"I still feel something's off about this, too strange. Something that could make a person give up on life—Ma Yingying must have done something."

"What's so strange about that? Didn't Ma Shan regret it? In the end it was Ma Yingying who ended his life."

……

Chen Fan walked out of the interrogation room.

Liu Mengyan walked over and asked: "Was it really Ma Yingying who killed Ma Shan?"

"Ma Yingying looks so thin and frail—if Ma Shan had wanted to fight back, Ma Yingying wouldn't have stood a chance."

Chen Fan said: "The result really was that. If we want to dig into the reasons, that shouldn't be our concern."

"Killing a person is killing a person. Even if there was a cause, the result is still that a person was killed. The law can show mercy, but it absolutely cannot relax."

In the observation room.

Teacher He commented: "Chen Fan is right. The law can be tender, but it cannot relax."

"Killing is the result, so one must bear the price of having killed."

Qin Ming also wrote these words down in his own book:

"Everyone makes mistakes in this life. When you make a mistake, you must bear the result. Even if you don't pay the price now, you will later. It's not that it won't come back to haunt you—it's just that the time hasn't come yet."

……

After the case ended.

Chen Fan headed to the dissection room where Old Liu was. Old Liu was giving a class to a group of interns.

"You all need to understand this clearly—dissection requires your complete, undivided attention. You absolutely cannot split your focus. If you damage the corpse, it could very well affect the police's investigation of the case…"

As Old Liu was speaking, he caught sight of Chen Fan coming in from outside.

Behind him were Xiang Qinqin and Liu Mengyan.

Qu Yiling, sitting among the interns, spotted a familiar face, immediately stood up, and waved.

Xiang Qinqin and Liu Mengyan immediately went over to Qu Yiling's side.

"How did it go? Did you and Chen Fan wrap up that case?"

Qu Yiling asked. She really wanted to go along with everyone and work real cases.

But her experience was still not quite enough, so she had to let Liu Laoshi keep guiding her and continue learning for a while.

Unlike Xiang Qinqin—although her theoretical knowledge was lacking, her dissection experience was extremely solid.

Liu Mengyan was even more different—a genius, and Chen Fan's personal disciple, so naturally she had to be guided every step of the way.

Qu Yiling was quite envious of the two of them.

Xiang Qinqin said: "It's already wrapped up. You definitely wouldn't have guessed—turns out Ma Shan, out of guilt, felt he'd wronged Ma Yingying, so he planned to kill his current wife, then kill himself, to atone."
