Chapter 98 Worse than pigs and dogs, worthy of death

At this moment, inside the main room.

Seeing that there was a child at the scene, Shen Zhao did not make things difficult for Zhao Di's mother, but simply asked her a few questions.

Then they called over Granny Huang and asked her some questions as well.

After the family left, Jiang Feiyan spoke first: "I think there's something wrong with this family."

Jiang Xun raised a delicate eyebrow: "I noticed it too."

Although Zhao Di's mother tried to appear calm, she couldn't hide the panic in her eyes.

Little Zhaodi kept pouting and crying, glancing at her mother worriedly every now and then.

Meanwhile, Granny Huang kept crying and wiping away tears, unable to answer any questions clearly.

It seems there might be more to Huang Dahan's death than meets the eye.

Shen Zhao frowned and slowly said, "Why don't we go to the village and inquire about the Huang family?"

Jiang Feiyan: "Okay, let's split up and meet up again in half an hour."

Jiang Xun and Shen Zhao nodded in unison: "Okay."

......

Half an hour later, Jiang Feiyan returned with a heavy expression.

Jiang Xun and Shen Zhao had just returned, and their expressions were not good either.

The three of them shared the information and came to a general conclusion:

The deceased, Huang Dahan, was a scoundrel, worse than a pig or a dog, and deserved to die!

He was lazy, gluttonous, and violent, and he loved to use his family's money to buy alcohol.

If the family can't come up with the money, then everyone will suffer, and everyone will be brutally beaten.

He never did any work in the fields, relying on his elderly mother and wife to earn work points in the fields.

It is easy to imagine that in those difficult times, if there was no able-bodied adult in the family, even basic necessities like food and clothing were a struggle, let alone any extra money.

When he ran out of money, the scoundrel Huang Dahan set his sights on his children.

He originally had five children.

His first daughter was just 15 years old when he sold her to a lame widower, and she was tortured to death by him a few years later.

When her second daughter was born, she was worried that it would be expensive to raise her because she was too thin.

While his mother and wife were not paying attention, Huang Dahan abandoned his infant son, who was only a few days old, on the mountain. The child froze to death.

Finally, the third child was a son. It was thought that Huang Dahan would be more restrained.

Unexpectedly, his alcoholism relapsed, and he secretly took his 5-year-old son to town and sold him to a wealthy couple.

After the couple had the child, they gave him a large sum of money and then left in a hurry, never to be heard from again.

The fourth one was a girl. This child was well-behaved and cute, and had a sweet tongue.

But that beast Huang Dahan, after getting drunk, actually had evil thoughts and wanted to do something wrong.

The little girl struggled desperately, but was ultimately strangled to death and thrown into a pond to fake her drowning.

Having already suffered the loss of several children, Huang Dahan's wife, Zhao Di's mother, was already on the verge of a mental breakdown.

After this incident, she completely lost her mind and grabbed a kitchen knife, ready to fight her husband to the death!

But how could a frail woman with weakened health be a match for her strong husband?

He was beaten black and blue in no time and sat on the ground for a long time, unable to recover.

She said she was going to report it to the police, but her mother-in-law stopped her, telling her to give her son one last chance.

Huang Dahan, however, changed his arrogant demeanor and knelt before her, weeping bitterly, saying that he would repent and never drink again.

At this moment, Zhao Di's mother discovered that there was a new life growing inside her.

She didn't want her child to be born into a broken home.

She couldn't bear it for a moment, so she forgave her husband once again.

After giving birth to Xiao Zhaodi, the doctor said that her body was too depleted and she probably wouldn't be able to have children again.

Hearing these words, Zhao Di's mother was not discouraged and was determined to raise little Zhao Di to adulthood.

Unexpectedly, not long after she gave birth, her husband reverted to his old ways, and even became worse.

Every day he either drinks or asks his family for money. If he doesn't have money, he beats people, including his mother-in-law.

Zhao Di's mother can tolerate all of this; she's been taking beatings like this for so many years.

But she never expected that this beast would once again set his sights on Xiao Zhaodi.

He actually wanted to sell his six-year-old daughter to a family in the mountains to be a child bride!

How could she bear this? This was her only child; she would never let go!

As a result, the Huang family has been filled with arguments and wailing every day for the past few days.

The villagers saw all of these things and were aware of them.

In particular, the fact that Huang Dahan strangled his fourth daughter was an open secret in the village.

But in the past few years, everyone was struggling financially, even having food was a problem. They were so tired every day that they had no energy to investigate.

Furthermore, most villagers have a weak sense of law and feel that this is someone else's family matter, and since the other party has not said anything, they should not interfere.

Most importantly, Huang Dahan is ruthless and vindictive.

If you offend him, you'll definitely be in big trouble in the village, so the matter was suppressed.

Over the years, people have become much more distant from the Huang family.

If Huang Dahan hadn't already died, probably many people wouldn't have dared to say these things.

"Bang!!!"

Jiang Feiyan slammed her fist on the table.

His eyes reddened with anger: "This kind of scum deserves to die!"

She's furious that such a beast exists in the world!

Seeing her so angry, Jiang Xun sighed softly, "It's not worth getting angry over someone like that."

He actually wanted to add, "This table is almost dented from being punched. I wonder if your hand hurts."

But the words caught in her throat...

Jiang Xun's dark, jade-like eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but purse his thin lips.

This is getting stranger and stranger.

Why does he pay so much attention every time he's with her?

This is unlike his usual indifferent attitude...

Shen Zhao also glanced at Jiang Feiyan.

In his view, these things were not entirely Huang Dahan's fault.

If it weren't for Granny Huang's inaction and Zhao Di's cowardice in not resisting, these tragedies might not have happened.

Some aspects of human nature cannot be tolerated; once relaxed, they will be devoured by evil.

"This matter probably doesn't need further investigation," Shen Zhao said in a low voice. "I'm just thinking about how to handle it..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feiyan and Jiang Xun exchanged a glance, both of them displaying a complex mix of emotions.

Based on the previous situation and this news, they all guessed the general truth.

Huang Dahan probably didn't die in an accident, but was deliberately pushed onto the sickle by his wife, Zhaodi's mother, and died.

If that's the case, then Zhao Di's mother is the murderer.

If she is convicted, the Huang family will be left with only Old Mrs. Huang and Xiao Zhaodi.

These days, life is tough, and with neither the grandmother nor the grandson able to work, it's highly likely they won't survive.

For the sake of a worthless scumbag, they just watched helplessly as their widowed grandchildren and their mothers went to their deaths.

Is it really... worth it?

"Captain Chen," Jiang Feiyan said, her gaze fixed intently on him, "this matter depends on your perspective..."

The law is impartial, and Shen Zhao, as a selfless public security officer, should have upheld the law impartially.

However, the law is not devoid of human sentiment, and it is also based on moral principles.

Huang Dahan already had several murders on his record, his crimes were heinous.

If he hadn't died, he might have killed even more people.

From this perspective, Zhao Di's mother did a good deed.

If it were Jiang Feiyan, she would rather let the other person go this time...
