Chapter 99: The three of them ate together after the murder case was solved.
Upon hearing Jiang Feiyan's words, Shen Zhao frowned deeply.
He knew what she meant, but he was still a little conflicted.
If he were in the special forces, he wouldn't have blinked an eye if he had assassinated a hundred of these scumbags.
But from the moment he retired from the military and became a police officer, his mission changed completely.
Impartial law enforcement is the professional ethical standard of the people's police.
He has already found out some things, and if he were to erase these traces now, it would go against his original intention.
But if he strictly enforces the law, his conscience will be troubled, which is a real dilemma.
At the scene, the two looked distressed.
Jiang Xun's gold-rimmed glasses gleamed slightly, and he said in a clear, gentle voice, "I think this matter can be resolved very quickly."
Jiang Feiyan and Shen Zhao looked at him, waiting for him to say what he would say next.
Jiang Xun slowly said, "It's very likely that Zhao Di's mother was trying to hit Huang Dahan when she was drunk, and she accidentally pushed him down while hiding."
This caused him to fall and hit the sickle, resulting in his death, which is why she was so panicked.
This is actually considered manslaughter in self-defense, not a crime committed with subjective intent. As long as the family forgives him, he should not be sentenced.
The record shows that Huang Dahan's shoes had oil stains on the soles, suggesting that the other party may have been in the kitchen and stepped on something.
As for why the sickle was placed there, it's possible that a family member simply left it there and forgot to put it away.
These investigations are all well-founded and reasonable; there's no need to overthink it. Just close the cases as soon as possible.
Jiang Xun's idea was very simple.
Huang Dahan deserved to die, and there's no need to defend him, so there's no need to dwell on it anymore.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Feiyan's eyes lit up, and she quickly nodded, saying, "Yes, I think Dr. Jiang is right!"
Shen Zhao thought about it and felt that this was the most reasonable way.
So he stopped hesitating and nodded, saying, "Okay, let's do it your way."
When Zhao Di's mother was called in again for questioning, Jiang Feiyan handled the entire communication.
She gently guided Zhao Di's mother, telling her that if it was manslaughter in self-defense, punishment could be waived depending on the circumstances.
Other findings from the investigation also favored Zhao Di's mother, encouraging her to boldly tell the truth.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Di's mother immediately understood what Jiang Feiyan meant.
She quickly explained that she had accidentally pushed her husband in a panic, and it wasn't intentional, before launching into another tearful account of all the terrible things that had happened over the years.
Hearing her talk about these things, even though Jiang Feiyan already knew some of the facts, she still felt very sad.
Well, as a woman herself, she felt great sympathy for the pitiful mother in front of her.
But if we really examine what happened in the past, this mother was really incompetent and hateful.
If she hadn't repeatedly tolerated him, Huang Dahan might not have been so arrogant, and her children might not have died innocently.
But it's too late to say anything now. This family still needs Zhaodi Ma, otherwise how will the widowed grandson and his mother survive?
Besides, she had no right to criticize the other party.
These days, some women's thoughts and personalities are suppressed and brainwashed from a young age.
In their eyes, once married, one must listen to one's husband and mother-in-law; the husband is above all else, and no matter how much they are beaten or scolded, they cannot fight back.
People like Zhao Di's mother are a tragic product of this era, pitiful people who didn't wake up in time.
Before leaving, Jiang Feiyan took out three hard candies from her pocket and stuffed them into Xiao Zhaodi's hand.
"Sister..." Little Zhaodi opened her big eyes and looked at her with some fear.
"Don't be afraid, your mother will be fine." Jiang Feiyan smiled and gently stroked her hair, saying softly:
"Life won't be so hard from now on; it'll be as sweet as candy. Grow up well..."
"Mmm." Little Zhaodi carefully took the candy and nodded obediently.
Watching Jiang Feiyan's departing figure, Xiao Zhaodi's eyes suddenly welled up with tears.
This beautiful older sister is so kind.
When she grows up, she wants to be a good person like her older sister...
......
The murder case in the Huang family was handled very quickly, and the results came out in just a few days.
As everyone expected, Zhao Di's mother was acquitted.
When the villagers of Guitu Village heard about it, they all sighed and said that Zhaodi's mother had finally gotten over her hardships.
Now that we've gotten rid of that devil Huang Dahan, things should be much better at home.
As for Granny Huang, although her son died because his daughter-in-law accidentally pushed him, she did not blame her daughter-in-law.
Having lived with her daughter-in-law for so many years, she had long regarded her as her own daughter.
Moreover, after being tormented by her son for so many years, she had long been heartbroken.
It's good that my son is dead; he won't have to cause any more harm.

Having solved the murder case, Jiang Xun said he would invite Jiang Feiyan and Shen Zhao to a state-run restaurant for dinner.
The first time was when Jiang Feiyan treated the two to dinner at a cabin at the foot of the mountain. Last time it was when Shen Zhao treated Jiang Feiyan. This time it's his turn.
Jiang Feiyan did not refuse his invitation and gladly accepted it.
Needless to say, Shen Zhao agreed.
Through this joint investigation of a murder case, the three of them developed a shared secret, and their relationship deepened.
When eating at a state-run restaurant.
Jiang Feiyan ordered braised pork without any hesitation, Shen Zhao chose steamed perch, and Jiang Xun ordered a vegetable dish and a meat soup.
The three dishes and one soup were quite substantial, and the three of them enjoyed a hearty and satisfying meal.
Just as the group finished eating and drinking and were about to leave the state-run restaurant, a lively discussion broke out at the entrance.
"Hey, there's a theatrical troupe setting up a stage up ahead. I heard they're putting on a big show tonight!"
"Really? I haven't heard traditional opera in so long. Wasn't it said that it's banned from being performed anymore?"
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. This is called a model opera. It was specially arranged by the higher-ups. It's different from those operas with feudalistic ideas!"
“I once saw a performance in the county, and it was really wonderful. I never expected that this opera troupe would come to our town.”
"Let's go, let's go see what's going on!!"
......
"Shall we go take a look?" Jiang Xun turned his head to look at Jiang Feiyan.
“No, I’m not interested.” Jiang Feiyan shook her head and refused.
She has so many movies and TV shows on DVDs that she can't even finish watching them all, so there's no need for her to watch these boring operas.
Besides, as a modern person, she knew perfectly well who was behind this opera and what their intentions were.
It's such a pity that those virtuous and cultured people were so cruelly destroyed, their hearts broken and their spirits extinguished...
After saying goodbye to Jiang Xun and Shen Zhao, Jiang Feiyan prepared to take an oxcart back to her hometown.
We haven't reached the place where we can take the oxcart yet.
A well-dressed middle-aged woman blocked her way.
She raised her nose and said with a disdainful look:
"You are Jiang Feiyan?"
