CHAPTER 571: CHAPTER 564: MURDER

Tian Xinhua walked over to inspect the deformed bicycle, and seeing this, Sisi also followed to take a look. The steel cable on the rear wheel’s brake pad was snapped into two pieces.

It really had snapped!

Sisi also felt immense sympathy for Huang Debiao and his daughter; how could they be so unlucky? And that plump little girl, so young and now gone, alas!

Sisi suddenly lost all her mood; if Zhong Yuying wants one hundred thousand yuan, then give it to her, after all, how could money ever buy a life?

Tian Xinhua suddenly said, "Ah Nan, do you see anything wrong with this brake cable?"

Sisi looked closely, but what could be wrong? It was just a snapped brake cable.

Something wasn’t right, it definitely was off!

Sisi squinted her eyes; if the brake cable had snapped due to long-term wear, the break would not be so neat. This is like a hemp rope; if it breaks due to wear over time, the edge of the break would be frayed.

However, the break on this brake cable only had a single thin wire dangling where it had torn, and the other sections of the break had no fraying. Although the break was not even, it didn’t look like it was due to wear and tear, but rather as if it had been ground down by something over time and then couldn’t withstand the force of a sudden, sharp brake and snapped.

Sisi was startled by her discovery; if that was the case, then this was no ordinary traffic incident.

It was murder!

Who would want to murder this father and daughter pair? And one of them was a lovable little girl!

Who could have dealt such a ruthless hand?

A bone-chilling cold rose from her heart, and Sisi couldn’t help but shiver.

"Brother Xin Hua, could we be wrong?" Sisi didn’t want to believe it, she would rather her judgment be wrong.

Tian Xinhua had almost confirmed it himself, but he was not a policeman; speaking out would be pointless, and the traffic police had already determined this to be a regular traffic accident.

It seems if one wants to thoroughly investigate, they must make use of the mayor’s trump card!

"Ah Nan, I’m going to make a phone call. This matter needs to be handed over to the detectives, the traffic police are of no use. Watch this place, don’t let anyone tamper with the scene, especially this bicycle."

Tian Xinhua stood up and instructed Sisi before driving back home to make the call. Sisi also stood up and stared at the two corpses not far away, as the chill continued to surge into her heart.

Zhong Yuying noticed Tian Xinhua and Sisi crouching by the bicycle and felt a pang of anxiety in her heart. Could these two have discovered something?

At this time, she couldn’t help but regret asking Tian Mantong for one hundred thousand yuan. If it wasn’t for the money being contested, perhaps these two freaks would have already been cremated.

Zhong Yuying’s mind spun, and she squeezed out a few more tears, then stood up and walked toward Tian Mantong. She bowed first and then broke into a tearful cry with a hoarse voice:

"Uncle Mantong, I am sorry, I was out of my mind earlier, I shouldn’t have demanded one hundred thousand yuan from you, but I really had no other choice, there is still a little one in my belly, and since Debiao is gone, and I have no job, I just wanted to get some more money to properly give birth and raise this child, to preserve some bloodline for Debiao."

Zhong Yuying cried inconsolably, with every sentence soaked in tears. It saddened the listeners and moved onlookers to tears, even Tian Mantong’s expression softened a bit. He felt that for a jobless woman like Zhong Yuying, who was also carrying a posthumous child, asking for more money seemed quite reasonable.

He could afford the one hundred thousand yuan; maybe he should just give it to her? It could be considered as accumulating virtue for his four children!

Seeing the hesitancy on Tian Mantong’s face, Zhong Yuying felt a surge of joy inside, knowing that if she could prolong the sob story, perhaps she might really get her hands on the one hundred thousand yuan.

Zhong Yuying was deeply conflicted; she wanted the large sum of one hundred thousand yuan, but also feared that dragging things on could result in more trouble. After some thought, she was still worried about potential issues and made a decision in her heart.

"Uncle Mantong, I understand that one hundred thousand yuan is a lot to ask from you, so just give me fifty thousand. I also know that Debiao’s and Yuanyuan’s deaths don’t have much to do with your driver, it was their own bad fortune, but I am really helpless here, I can’t possibly fail to preserve even the last bit of Debiao’s bloodline!"

At the end of her plea, Zhong Yuying began to beat her chest and stamp her feet, wailing so much that the bystanders began to persuade Tian Mantong, suggesting that if he could afford it, he should just give her the money, considering it a way to accumulate blessings for his family.

Tian Mantong had actually already agreed in his mind; he could afford one hundred thousand, so fifty thousand was no problem at all. Besides, Zhong Yuying truly was pitiful, and although she had done wrong before, she was after all from the same village; he couldn’t be too harsh on her.

Just as Tian Mantong was about to agree, Sisi, who had been listening quietly to the side, sneered and said, "Zhong Yuying, don’t use the child in your stomach to feign pity. In fact, whether the child in your belly is your husband’s seed or not is still unclear! Talking about preserving your man’s bloodline, those words can only fool the uninformed."

Zhong Yuying’s face changed color, startled by how He Sisi could know that the child in her belly wasn’t Huang Debiao’s?

In reality, Sisi did not know whose child was in Zhong Yuying’s belly; she had just casually said that to intimidate Zhong Yuying, but seeing Zhong Yuying’s obvious guilty expression, Sisi was surprised that she had actually hit the mark!

Zhong Yuying sobbed, "Sisi, you have always had grievances against me, but now that I am in such a miserable state, why do you still want to ruin my reputation?"

After hearing Sisi’s words, the onlookers began to have some doubts, but after seeing the pitiable state of Zhong Yuying, their sympathies swung back in her direction, feeling that Sisi was indeed going too far.

"Zhong Yuying, do you even have any reputation left? A woman who has slept with who knows how many men and you talk about reputation? You think you are worthy of that word?"

Zhong Hongying could not help but chuckle when she heard Sisi’s words; she felt a burst of pleasure as she and Zhong Yuying could not coexist under the same sky; the worse Zhong Yuying’s plight, the happier she was.

Zhong Yuying, cornered by Sisi’s words, turned red and white in turns, feeling as if she was stripped naked by Sisi, yet still tried to maintain a facade of unbearable shame and desperation.

Sisi sneered, and then added, "Moreover, the exact cause of death of your husband and daughter is still unknown, why the rush? Don’t you want to know the real reason behind your husband and daughter’s deaths?"

Zhong Yuying was suddenly chilled to the bone; what did He Sisi know?

Tian Mantong, after hearing Sisi’s words, was quite puzzled, "Ah Nan, what do you mean by that? It’s clear that these two were killed in a car accident."

Zhong Yuying quickly regained her composure, looking at Sisi with a disbelieving gaze, "Sisi, everyone witnessed the cause of my husband and daughter’s deaths, why would you say that? Are you deliberately tormenting me?"

Sisi, seeing a car approaching from a distance, corners of her mouth curled in a smirk, replied, "Everyone will understand what’s going on in a little while, don’t be in such a hurry!"
