Chapter 216 Regret
Qin Yuechuan cleared his throat, his expression grave, and began to recount the case in detail: "I'll give a brief overview based on the timeline of events—"
The first incident occurred at a late-night food stall. A deliveryman suddenly stabbed his best friend of many years to death with a shard of a beer bottle.
The second incident also occurred in a restaurant, albeit a Western one. A waiter from a karaoke bar killed the same karaoke bar manager with a fork.
The third incident, and currently the one with the greatest impact.
On the street, three generations of a family—grandmother, father, and granddaughter—went out to the supermarket together. The elderly woman walked slowly and lagged behind.
A drunk driver was speeding and hit a father and his granddaughter.
The driver sustained minor injuries and is unconscious, while the other two sustained serious injuries.
But the grandmother ran up and, completely ignoring her seriously injured relative, poured a bottle of disinfectant alcohol she had just bought over the driver's head and set it on fire...
In the bustling city center, a massive fireball exploded instantly, burning the driver and his car to ashes. People around screamed in terror and fled in all directions, turning the entire street into chaos.
Zhang Mo was deeply impressed by this news; a week ago, the related video went viral online.
At the time, many marketing accounts were saying that the car owner had offended a "crazy old lady".
Strangely, these videos disappeared completely overnight...
Zhang Mo opened the last document: "That father and granddaughter, in the end, they still couldn't be saved?"
Qin Yuechuan nodded with a somber expression: "Yes, they didn't seem too bad when they were first brought to the hospital, but their condition suddenly deteriorated that night, and they both passed away the next morning."
Thinking about that old lady's actions, it's like...
Looking at her granddaughter's innocent face in the document, Zhang Mo sighed, "It's as if at that moment, she already knew that these two people wouldn't survive."
The further you look at the case, the more bizarre it becomes.
Firstly, the deliveryman had just been tricked into taking out an A/B loan by his best friend during the day. They even went to a late-night food stall to celebrate this.
Subsequent police investigations revealed that the 500,000 yuan loan was immediately used by his close friend to repay previous debts, and he had no ability or willingness to make further repayments.
At this moment, Zhang Youxuan raised her hand and asked, "What is AB loan?"
Zhang Mo: "Good question, Dr. Qin. Could you explain to everyone what AB loan is?"
Qin Yuechuan raised his head blankly: "..." Who asked? Why didn't he hear it?
Fortunately, Qin Yuechuan was quick-witted: "Yes, the one who went to Thailand with us last time?"
Jiu Xuan rested her chin on her hand and said boredly, "Yeah, why so many questions? Explain quickly."
Qin Yuechuan: "...Okay. Simply put, AB loan is a scam where unscrupulous intermediaries deceive people with good credit (B) into taking out loans for people with poor credit (A), ultimately leaving B with debt."
Moreover, they often use deceptive tactics such as "please do me a favor," "it's just a formality," "it won't affect your credit score," and "you won't have to pay me back."
Furthermore, the procedures are extremely complicated, with numerous and thick documents, leading many people to complete the process in a daze, without understanding how they ended up being the ones in debt.
In the second case, a KTV waitress was lured by a KTV supervisor with a high salary and took out a loan of 300,000 yuan for cosmetic surgery.
They promised him that once his plastic surgery was successful, they would introduce him to another karaoke bar as a male model, with a daily wage of 6,000+.
Zhang Youxuan asked again, "Male model? A fashion model? Shouldn't they be working on a runway? Why would they be working in a karaoke bar?"
Jiu Xuan: "......"
Zhang Mo: "......"
Qin Yuechuan sensed the strange atmosphere: "What's wrong? Is there a problem again?"
Zhang Mo smiled and said, "No problem, the child has used up their number of questions for today. Let's continue."
Zhang Youxuan: "???"
Continuing on, you'll see that police investigations revealed this cosmetic surgery clinic had an 80% customer complaint rate, with numerous cases of botched procedures and injuries. Of the 300,000 yuan he paid, 50% went to the foreman as commission. The so-called 6,000+ yuan daily wage male model job was also a complete fabrication.
In front of Zhang Mo was a blank sheet of paper, on which she had just written down what she had dictated.
1. Deliveryman X Best Buddy, AB Loan
2. Waitress X Supervisor, expensive cosmetic surgery
3. An elderly woman and a drunk driver died in a car accident.
4. Ex-wife and ex-husband die from carbon monoxide poisoning.
"Come on, let's make an assumption now."
What would have happened if these people hadn't suddenly gone berserk and started killing?
In other words, under normal circumstances, how should these four things develop?
Qin Yuechuan: "In the first case, AB Loan will not collapse for at least a month. Only then will the courier realize that he has been scammed and go to his good friend to get his money back."
However, his good brother had no ability to repay the debt, and calling the police was useless because it was only a civil dispute, at most he could just get an IOU.
However, even with an IOU, those who refuse to repay still won't pay, and some have even disappeared without a trace. In the end, the deliveryman is left to bear the entire debt.
Zhang Mo: "Secondly, the damage caused by cosmetic surgery usually doesn't become apparent for several months. By then, not only will the so-called 6,000 yuan daily wage job be gone, but he may also be unable to continue with ordinary work."
At the same time, she had to repay a debt of 300,000 yuan while raising funds for her medical treatment.
Jiu Xuan joined in the deduction: "In the third case, the old lady naturally accompanied her relative to the hospital for treatment, and then watched helplessly as they died despite all efforts to save them. The driver was arrested by the police. By the way, how many years is the sentence for killing someone in a hit-and-run?"
Zhang Mo: "Imprisonment for a term of not less than three years but not more than seven years."
Zhang Youxuan couldn't believe it: "Huh? It's so short?"
Jiu Xuan couldn't understand either: "Why? Those two lives combined would most likely allow them to live for another 150 years. But the murderer only needs to pay compensation for 3 to 7 years?"
Who exactly made your human laws? This is clearly unreasonable.
For a moment, Zhang Mo and Qin Yuechuan were speechless.
Isn't that unreasonable? The unreasonable parts are yet to come.
Zhang Mo: "In the fourth case, under normal circumstances, the deaths of the two children would be classified as accidental."
Jiu Xuan: "Wait a minute, when that man was getting the divorce certificate, he deliberately delayed for two hours. Anyone with a brain can figure that he did it. Don't you judges understand?"
Qin Yuechuan shook his head: "I'm sorry, our laws only consider evidence, not reasoning."
Zhang Youxuan said sadly, "If things develop like this, how devastated would that mother be?"
Zhang Mo: "Yes, that's why they all say they don't regret it."
Because they already knew the ending they would regret.
