Chapter 37: Seeking Help
The old lady's eyes were a little evasive, "I...should I know?"
"No, Sister Shi, what do you mean by that? I'm also a victim! I have nothing to do with that girl's death. Do you still suspect that I'm the murderer?!"
"Are you kidding me?" The old lady was extremely corrupt. Unfortunately, she was just a spirit now and couldn't do anything. "I paid you, and it's fine if you didn't help solve the problem, but now you're blaming me. I'm only a few years old, how could I possibly hurt someone?"
[Uh... I don't think the host meant that. The old lady is a little too excited.]
I originally thought Sister Shi's question was baffling, but now it seems there's something fishy about the old lady. Perhaps the person who heard the nursery rhyme earlier is also suspicious.
The old lady didn't expect that her anger did not win her supporters, but instead made most people begin to suspect that there was something wrong with her, and she almost collapsed.
He squatted on the ground and started crying.
Of course, souls don't have tears, but that didn't stop her from howling. "I'm just a little girl. I'm only twenty years old."
"Why do you want to bully me? Why do you all want to bully me?"
After hearing the old lady cry like that, the number of comments decreased a lot.
Shi Yu was not in a hurry. He waited until the old woman's howling gradually subsided before he slowly spoke, "Are you sure you don't want to say it yourself?"
"If I were to say this, I'd apologize in advance if there were any inappropriate words."
Shi Yu had no talent for storytelling, so when the words came into her mouth, she could only speak plainly, "Everyone, don't worry, the old lady is indeed not a criminal."
"To be precise, the case at that time really had little to do with her."
"It's just that she was unlucky. She became an eyewitness, but she was too timid to intervene or call the police. Of all the options available to her, she chose to turn a blind eye."
That’s the summary.
The little old lady didn't even have time to react before Shi Yu finished speaking.
"No! That's not the case!"
The little old lady quickly refuted, but she just shouted that it was not the case, but said nothing else. Shi Yu shrugged indifferently, "Okay, since you say it is not the case."
"Then tell me what it is like."
The old lady's face turned black and white, and her emotions were so unstable that her soul almost shrank back into her body. All of this was expressed.
She wanted to escape and didn't want to face the problem formally.
Unfortunately, Shigure won't give her this opportunity.
Of course the old lady could escape. She could even hang up the live broadcast directly and pretend nothing had happened, continuing to hide everything she knew.
But if that happens, she will definitely die.
And there will be more people killed later. Shi Yu doesn't care much about the life or death of the old lady, but she wants some justice and doesn't want to see this matter continue to expand and involve irrelevant people.
.
The old lady was held up and she really wanted to hang up the live broadcast.
Unfortunately, she is just a soul now and cannot touch any real objects.
The whole person was held up. The old lady hesitated, and finally spoke, "That day... I did see some things."
【It turns out there really was an eyewitness to that case! 】
"No, you saw it, why didn't you stop it? Even if you were scared, it wouldn't be hard to just secretly call the police, right? If you had called the police, that girl might not have died. She wasn't even an adult yet!"
[What a cold-hearted person! He looked at the gentle little girl and had no sympathy at all.]
The little old lady's scalp was tingling and her fists were clenched tightly.
She just knew it!
She knew that if even a little bit of this matter was leaked, she would be the one who would be subjected to overwhelming abuse, even though she had done nothing.
Obviously, she never actively chose to hurt anyone.
These people who don't know the truth will still pin the blame on her for nothing!
"What do you know!"
Faced with the doubts and even insults from the comments, the old lady finally exploded, "I didn't see it clearly at the time, and I didn't expect that man to kill someone!"
"I... I thought it was just an adult beating a child. Isn't this a normal thing? Who am I to meddle in other people's family affairs? What did I do wrong?"
[If that's the case, the old lady is actually quite innocent.]
Is the person above being too naive? How can a normal parent spank their child be the same as what happened back then? The old lady is an adult after all; I don't believe she couldn't tell the difference.
"Well, she probably couldn't tell the difference at first." Shi Yu supported his chin and flicked his cheek lightly with his fingers. "That's probably why she found you only now."
Hearing Shi Yu's words, the old lady breathed a sigh of relief.
But before she could completely relax, Shi Yu continued, "But after she asked you for help, you still couldn't tell?"
"Is it so difficult to admit that you don't have the courage to call the police?"
The little old lady's fingers were stiff, and her face even maintained an angry expression. She had no time to change her mind. Her thoughts seemed to be pulled back to that rainy night in an instant.
The old lady finished high school but didn't get into college, so she stopped studying. Fortunately, she still has a good voice and usually performs in bars, so she can support herself.
She was a regular at the bar from 10:30 to 2:30, but since it was the owner's birthday that day, she stayed a little longer. By the time she was walking back, it was almost 3:30. It happened to be raining that day, and there was no way she could get a taxi in the middle of the night. She had no choice but to walk back.
It was a road she walked every day, but for some reason that day, the old lady felt her back getting colder and colder as she walked, and then she was startled by a scream.
"No! Please!"
The sound of rain shattered the faint cries. The old lady squinted her eyes to see more clearly, but it was too dark. She could only vaguely see a man pulling a little girl's arm into the gate.
It must be someone's adult taking care of the child.
The old lady thought so, shook her head and continued to walk forward, but before she took two steps, the girl who had been caught just now rushed out and grabbed her arm.
"Help me, that man wants to kill me, help!"
There were immediate scratches on her arm, and the old lady only looked up once. She would never forget that look. The ragged little girl's eyes were full of fear.
She looked at herself, pleadingly.
This is definitely not a family dispute!
