Zhou Mo had never come into contact with a deceased patient in the hospital and did not recognize the funeral home's car, but Han Chen did.
The moment he saw the car, Han Chen had a bad feeling.
However, everything happened just as he had anticipated.
Zhou Zheng... is gone.
The pile driver was also used and pressed for nearly an hour.
Han Chen knew too well the function of the pile driver. It was basically used to comfort the family members when artificial cardiopulmonary resuscitation failed, and it would not be of much use.
When Zhou Mo and Han Chen arrived, Zhou Zheng had already been declared dead.
Even though they arrived in time, they could only see Zhou Zheng for the last time before he entered the funeral home.
Just as Liu Xiangru said, he was covered in blood.
When Zhou Mo saw Zhou Zheng, his eyes were first filled with shock, then dazed, and finally lost in thought.
Zhou Zheng was almost deformed, his face was swollen, and he was almost unrecognizable.
Zhou Mo stretched out her trembling hand and tried to touch Zhou Zheng. The moment her fingers touched Zhou Zheng's cheek, she felt a strange and cold chill. She was so scared that she immediately withdrew her hand. Then her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Han Chen beside her was quick to support her.
"Momo..." Han Chen's throat hurt, very much.
Zhou Mo kept shaking his head, "No, no... My father is not dead... He is not dead..."
She wouldn't accept it anyway.
"Mo Mo!" When Liu Xiangru saw Zhou Mo, she rushed over and the mother and daughter hugged each other.
Han Chen looked at Zhou Zheng who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. He closed his eyes in pain and turned his head away.
He didn't dare look.
Uncomfortable.
It's so uncomfortable.
Liang Xinyun, who was standing by, also had tears in her eyes. She, who was always rational and calm, looked at Han Chen in panic: "What should I do? What should I do?"
The incident happened so suddenly that it almost hit everyone hard. Everyone was still dazed at first, but now when they saw the person lying motionless on the hospital bed, all their senses seemed to come back.
Everyone then realized that Zhou Zheng was really gone.
The tragedy of the sudden attack was like a bullet to everyone's heart, causing them pain, a heart-wrenching pain.
Zhou Mo and Liu Xiangru's eyes were swollen from crying.
Liang Xinyun was also panicked. Seeing Liu Xiangru and Zhou Mo in pain, she also broke down emotionally.
Only Han Chen.
He felt very sad, but he didn't cry because he couldn't cry.
Now that Zhou Zheng is gone, he is the only man in this family.
He has to shoulder the burden and take care of all the household chores like a husband.
Zhou Mo, Liu Xiangru and Liang Xinyun all need him for support, so he can't cry.
But the sadness that filled his chest and the wailing that almost sounded like a roar filled his body.
And he had to hold back.
He gritted his teeth, cooperated with the emergency doctor to obtain a death certificate, paid the rescue costs, and cooperated with the funeral home staff to get Zhou Zheng into the car.
There were also police officers with him, and he had to cooperate with the police in further investigation.
The police were also very tolerant. Seeing the family members so sad, they briefly explained what happened and said they would come back in a few days.
The police did not provide any specific information about the perpetrator, only saying that the other party was involved in drug driving and the investigation was still ongoing. They would be informed of any further developments.
The incident happened suddenly and there was no preparation.
Zhou Mo and Liu Xiangru were so heartbroken that they lost their minds and cried all day long.
Han Chen asked Liang Xinyun to accompany them well, while he took on the main task of handling Zhou Zheng's funeral.
On the one hand, I have to wait for the results of the police investigation, and on the other hand, I have to take care of Zhou Zheng's funeral.
When Han Zhen learned of Zhou Zheng's death, he immediately asked for leave and tried his best to rush to Dongjiang.
However, before he reached Dongjiang, another piece of bad news came the next day.
The police's preliminary investigation results are out.
Han Chen asked Liang Dongyan to pursue the results from the police.
When Liang Dongyan got the investigation results, he did not choose to make a phone call, but came to the funeral home and called Han Chen out alone.
When he spoke, his tone was awkward and difficult.
"The person who hit Zhou Mo's father... you know him."
"Who?" Han Chen asked.
"Your fourth brother."
Han Chen suddenly felt dizzy.
"Why? Why him?" Han Chen found it hard to accept.
"That's him. The police have already released their preliminary investigation results," Liang Dongyan said. "Your fourth brother is currently in the Provincial People's Hospital. When he was in the accident, his car caught fire and he suffered severe burns. The Provincial People's Hospital's burn department is good, so he was sent there."
Han Chen almost couldn't stand.
"Actually, everything has a traceable path..." Liang Dongyan said, "Think about your fourth brother. Why did he stay in Dongjiang and dare not return to the imperial capital? Why is he always short of money? And...how did he collude with Lu Zhinan? Lu Zhinan took Shen Pan away that time, but he wanted to inject Shen Pan with something. Where did that thing in Lu Zhinan's hand come from?"
Han Chen suddenly felt as if a thorn in his back.
"Yeah, why didn't I think about it a little bit more?"
Obviously everything has a traceable path.
Liang Dongyan's face darkened slightly. "Your fourth brother's car accident while driving under the influence of drugs resulted in a fatality, and even Han Jia'an's people in Dongjiang couldn't suppress it. You should understand that the difference between a fatality and a non-fatal death in the same case is worlds apart. The police have already notified your fourth brother's family. You should be prepared for the worst."
He patted Han Chen's shoulder.
I don’t know what to say.
Han Chen certainly understood what Liang Dongyan meant.
The person who hit and killed Zhou Zheng was Han Ze, his fourth brother.
Someone from the Han family will come over, and at that time they will most likely use some method to suppress this matter and prevent it from escalating.
And in all these contradictions, he is the one caught in the middle.
On one side is his fourth brother, on the other side is Zhou Mo's father...
Not to mention what choice he should make, but whether or not to tell Zhou Mo the truth was enough to give him a headache.
Han Chen, who hadn't rested for more than a day, could no longer bear the tremendous mental pressure.
He felt dizzy and the world was about to collapse.
Fortunately, Liang Dongyan reacted quickly and helped him.
"Are you okay?" he asked worriedly.
"How can it be okay?" Han Chen felt like he was being torn apart.
"When are you going to tell Zhou Mo about this?"
It is impossible to hide it, and it is only a matter of time before Zhou Mo knows the truth.
Han Chen choked and said, "Now."
Liang Dongyan's eyes showed surprise, "You have no intention of hiding anything."
Han Chen: "How else can I hide it? Can hiding it from her solve the problem?"
Obviously not.
Liang Dongyan looked at him worriedly, "Do you need me to tell you?"
Han Chen: "No need. I'll tell her myself."
Liang Dongyan pursed his lips slightly, looking worried, but he could only watch Han Chen dragging his heavy body back into the funeral home.
Every step he took was shackled, and every step seemed to leave a bloody footprint.
At that moment, he looked like a criminal, and the funeral home was the place where he was judged and executed.
