Aunt Fang lay lifelessly on the bed, her face pale and her body cold. The room was filled with a strong smell of blood, mixed with a pungent smell of smoke, and the combined smell was particularly unpleasant.
Fang Yanming had mixed feelings. Although he didn't like this aunt, she was still his blood relative. Just two hours ago she was a living person, but now she was a cold corpse.
Death is the greatest tragedy, and he didn't want to dwell on past conflicts. The important thing now was to find out the cause of Aunt Fang's death and at least do his part.
"Didn't you stay with Auntie?" Fang Yanming asked sternly.
Xu Tianlai's eyes were swollen from crying, and he was still wiping away tears. Fang's uncle kept his head down and didn't say a word, so it was impossible to see what his expression was. But Fang Yanming always felt that his uncle wasn't that sad.
“I went to make a phone call with Dad and left for a little while. I never knew Mom would have an accident. My God, I'm so sorry…”
Xu Tianlai said a few words, then burst into tears, heartbroken.
"Do you need two people to make a phone call? My aunt is so sick, and you just left her alone? Have you lost your mind?!"
Fang Yanming was furious. If he weren't concerned about his image, he would have slapped his good-for-nothing cousin across the face. What's the use of crying now? He didn't fulfill his filial duties while he was alive, and who is he putting on this show for now that he's dead?
The forensic doctor is examining Aunt Fang's body, not Mao Fangfei. After becoming pregnant, Mao Fangfei stopped going on missions and instead focused on laboratory work.
"The cause of death was suffocation. The blood coughed up by the deceased flowed back into his mouth and nose, blocking his trachea and causing him to suffocate," the forensic doctor quickly concluded.
Xu Tianlai's expression changed drastically, and he cried even harder, "Mom, I'm so sorry, I'm an unfilial son..."
Uncle Fang trembled slightly. The forensic doctor's words made him panic a little, but he quickly calmed down. The old woman was going to die anyway, and it had nothing to do with him. It was better that she died now, so as not to waste money.
Fang Yanming couldn't hold back any longer and kicked Xu Tianlai to the ground, calling him a hypocrite.
Uncle Fang's eyes darted around, and he had an idea. He shouted, "My wife got into trouble while sleeping in this guesthouse. We have to pay compensation. This woman must have opened the window and made my old lady cold. That's why she's coughing. She's the one who harmed my old lady!"
The old man pointed at the waiter and yelled, secretly plotting something. He couldn't let the old woman die in vain; he had to make a quick buck.
There was a guy in the village who worked on a construction site. He drank alcohol before starting work and fell off the scaffolding. The construction site boss paid him 80,000 yuan in compensation. The old woman is now dead in a hotel, so the hotel can't escape responsibility.
We must pay compensation.
Xu Tianlai was stunned and didn't react for a moment. His uncle kept winking at him, and he finally came to his senses. After hesitating for a moment, he also wailed, "You killed my mother! Your hospitality will take responsibility!"
The waitress was furious. She was not one to be trifled with. With her hands on her hips, she yelled, "You're trying to extort money from me! Do you think I'm afraid of two country bumpkins? Yes, I opened the window, but why did I open it? It's because you old codger's smoking made the room unbearable that I had to open the window!"
She said to Fang Yanming, "Director Fang, smell this. Is there still a smell of smoke in the room? Let me tell you, it was even stronger before. When I came in, my lungs almost burst. I coughed several times. Even I, a healthy person, couldn't stand it. This old lady must have been even more unable to stand it. I kindly opened the window to let the smoke out, and they still tried to extort money from me. Oh dear... No wonder they say you can't be a good person!"
