Chapter 596

"We've been riding for two hours. When will we finally arrive?"

After traversing a stretch of muddy path, the vehicle finally stopped at the entrance of a village.

Because a death had occurred, everyone in the village had gathered at the crime scene.

Of course.

Some curious children tried to run over, but their parents stopped them.

Chen Fan and the others got out of the car and headed straight for the crime scene.

The place where the incident happened was a house built of rammed earth; just looking at it, one could guess it was already several decades old.

A crowd had gathered at the door of the house, and the police who had arrived earlier had secured the building.

Inside the house, the deceased had been laid flat on the ground, and the victim's father was wailing in grief.

"My son! How could you pass away like this? Our family has had only one son for three generations. What am I, an old father, supposed to do..."

The man cried very bitterly; no matter how the police officer beside him tried to console him, he could not be stopped.

Chen Fan and Li Tian entered the house.

Li Tian waved to one of the police officers: "Come, tell Chen Fan what happened in this case."

The officer said: "The deceased was thirteen years old, currently a first-year junior high student at No. 1 Middle School in the town, and an orphan left behind in the village."
