Chapter 480: Chapter 480

Wang Daqiang cried fiercely, not that it mattered.

After all, his mother had died, so it was only natural for him to cry intensely.

As long as he didn’t shout out that Kou Miao and Shen Zhongwei had conspired to kill his mother.

Yang Fan was worried that those two might make a desperate move.

"Fanzi, actually... I also want to die, haha..." Wang Daqiang suddenly cried out in a slightly crazed manner.

"I’ve lived a very suffocating life, I don’t even know what I am. When I was a child, I was the only one beaten, they blamed me for all their mistakes. When there wasn’t enough money in the family for the three of us to study, my dad said that since I was older and could earn money, I should let my younger brother have the opportunity to study, and I agreed."

"I’ve been working since I was thirteen until now, and after my father passed away, I supported them through university. Later, after they graduated, they started to despise me, their brother. One found a good job, the other was successful in business, but when I had no money and had to ask them for a loan of one or two thousand reluctantly, I could see the disdain in their eyes as if they loathed a stray dog."

"Over the years, I borrowed money from them three times, adding up to eight thousand yuan, but they told me that I always came to ask them for money, I... I paid back that money very promptly, I don’t owe them anything."

"Later, I found a wife, as you know... and I was still despised."

"In this world, the only one who didn’t despise me was my mom, yet still... yet still..."

Yang Fan listened quietly, his heart not too deeply moved, but he wasn’t completely indifferent either.

"I just feel sad for your previous hesitation; you know very well what’s right, don’t you?" Yang Fan asked, "But you haven’t figured out where you stand. What’s wrong with living for those who care about you from now on?"

"I know you earn a decent salary, why would you waste your money and kindness on dogs? You may be older, but it’s not like you can’t find a woman to live a peaceful life with, why hang yourself on that one tree?"

He might have been content to hang himself on one tree, but he also ended up causing the death of the old lady!

However, Yang Fan didn’t speak these words out loud.

Wang Daqiang’s mental state had already collapsed, and if Yang Fan added such a judgment.

This guy might go insane.

Two police cars flashing red and blue lights rushed into the courtyard, interrupting Yang Fan and Wang Daqiang’s conversation.

As soon as the cars stopped, several police officers quickly burst out of them.

Some began setting up police tape, and others stood guard around the area.

Yang Fan saw real guns and bullets.

A sharp-looking female police officer approached and glanced at Yang Fan and Wang Daqiang, asking, "Who called the police?"

"I did!" Yang Fan yelled.

The female officer’s sharp, phoenix eyes swept over Yang Fan and asked, "Where is the deceased?"

"Inside the house," Yang Fan said straightforwardly. "The suspect is also inside the house; I don’t know about another one, didn’t see them."

"Lead the way!" the female officer commanded, drawing her pistol.

At that moment, Yang Fan also grew nervous.

He grabbed Wang Daqiang and began walking with him toward the center of the courtyard.

Four police officers, including the female officer, followed close by — two behind and two to the sides.

The group had just entered the courtyard when they saw Kou Miao holding a cellphone coming out of the north room.

"You guys..."

Upon seeing the police officers beside Yang Fan and Wang Daqiang, Kou Miao suddenly exclaimed, and her phone clattered to the ground.

"It’s her!" Yang Fan whispered.

At those words, the female officer instantly pointed her gun at Kou Miao.

"Don’t move!"

"Put your hands up, lie down on the ground, now!"

Following a series of harsh shouts, several police officers rushed forward and subdued Kou Miao.

The entire process was clean and swift, lasting less than a minute.

Yang Fan glanced casually and suddenly noticed the cell phone that Kou Miao had dropped on the ground; the call was still connected, displaying the name "Old Shen." Unsurprisingly, she was probably talking to Shen Zhongwei.

Yang Fan tapped the female police officer’s arm, pointing at Kou Miao’s phone, "The other one, her lover."

The female officer’s brow furrowed sharply as she asked in a low voice, "Do you know where he is?"

"I don’t know," Yang Fan shook his head, pointing at Kou Miao, "but she definitely knows."

The female officer signaled with her eyes, and two officers quickly helped the pale-faced Kou Miao to her feet and hurried out of the yard.

Yang Fan guessed that they were probably going to inquire about Shen Zhongwei’s whereabouts.

However, if Shen Zhongwei had heard those commands just now, he might have already sensed something was amiss.

Heading there now, they might not be able to find him.

The female police officer took Kou Miao’s phone, seeming ready to say something, but the call abruptly ended on the other end.

"Don’t rush to leave; we still have some things to understand from you," she said to Yang Fan.

Yang Fan nodded. He understood this protocol well.

He had seen it often enough on TV dramas.

Soon, a male officer entered the yard and whispered something in the female officer’s ear.

Then the female officer looked at Yang Fan, asking, "You’re a local here; you should know where Shen Zhongwei lives, right?"

"Of course, I do," Yang Fan replied plainly.

"Lead the way!" the female officer commanded.

Her words were so direct that they didn’t give Yang Fan any chance to refuse, with no beating around the bush, completely like an order.

Although Yang Fan was willing to help, he was somewhat irked by the attitude.

If you want someone’s help, at least be polite, right? A peremptory command, I’m not your subordinate.

"I have other things to attend to later; catching someone might not suit me," Yang Fan said.

"Hmm?" The female officer glanced at Yang Fan.

"I’m rather busy," Yang said nonchalantly.

The female officer chuckled lightly, "Okay, then wait here for a while, we’ll need to take a statement from you soon."

Leaving this message, she exited, but left the male officer in the yard.

The male officer moved closer to Yang Fan, giving him a thumbs up, "Nice, brother."

Yang Fan looked at him, puzzled, "What did I do?"

"Brother, do you know what our team leader’s nickname is? T-rex!" the officer chuckled and said, "Although it was quite satisfying to see you snap back at her, you’re definitely in trouble now. Our T-rex is very, very vindictive."

Yang Fan was stunned, "I didn’t do anything wrong; what I said was true, I really am busy with a lot of things. I was only trying to help voluntarily, I can’t just finish helping here and then run around with you guys, right?"

"Actually, if she had been a bit more polite, I would have still been willing to help, work can wait a bit. But I’m not one of your guys; she glares and commands me to lead the way, and I should just scamper to work?"

"I knew it," the officer laughed softly, "But our team leader doesn’t care about these things, brother, you’re on your own now. You definitely can’t go back today, probably have to go back to the station with us to make a statement. She won’t do much to you, but she’s definitely going to give you a hard time, don’t take it personally."

Yang Fan: ...
