TRANSMIGRATED TO THE 80S TO BECOME STEPMOTHERS FOR FIVE HIGHER-UPS
Chapter 85: The Corpse
In the past, the villagers would not take Shao Nan's words seriously, but now, everyone knew that the Shao Family's children were very impressive after seeing them publish essays, film ads, and even more, and acting in television shows, things that only extraordinary people are able to do. They are all intellectuals.
Since Shao Nan had already taken out the book and Mu Jingzhe did not mind, this could not be wrong.
The curly haired woman could not figure it out. How did this happen?
He had come to question Mu Jingzhe and caused her trouble. How did things backfire so he was eventually taken to the police station? He knows what he's done. He'll be done if he goes to the police station.
"Let go! You have no right to do this!”
He shouted for the Little Dong Village villagers to help. “Are you all dead? They say that your daughter did not go to work in the factory but has become a prostitute. Hurry up and help!"
In this day and age, reputation is the most important. Even if it was true, they could only swallow it.
This was also the reason he had always been unafraid. Even if they found out that he had lied to them, they would help him keep it a secret if they did not want to be humiliated.
In the past, this step was the most effective. This time, it's the same. Many people in the Little Eastern Village had red eyes. However, when they heard this, they decided to stop him first.
Only then can their daughter be saved.
They would help the woman when Shao Nan spoke again.
“You should think about this carefully. If you help him, you will protect him. You might even be considered his accomplice. When that happens, you'll be done too. Those who help will be held accountable as well.”
His words made the villagers of Little Eastern Village freeze.
The curly-haired woman went there ferociously, but she was eventually sent to the police station.
The police take this very seriously. Over the past few years, more than ten girls have been tricked into going one after another. That means there were more than ten victims. Furthermore, the curly-haired lady might even have an accomplice.
Although the investigation would take some time, when the villagers saw that the curly-haired woman did not come out after being brought in, they knew that the situation was bad.
The curly haired woman knew how serious the consequences were. He knew that if he admitted it, he would become dead meat. Therefore, he gritted his teeth and stayed on his story, saying that he only introduced those women to a job.
However, after being taken to the police station, he was overwhelmed with guilt and fear and could not stand it anymore.
The curly-haired woman knew that she was done, and so did the families of the girls who went with her.
They refused to acknowledge that their relatives were there to sell their bodies and insisted that they were there to work in a factory, thus slightly obstructing the investigation.
The girls were all victims, but at that moment, they were also pinned on the pillar of shame. Even their families felt like they could not lift their heads.
Mu Jingzhe thought the situation would be bad, but he still felt helpless when he saw this. He obviously did nothing wrong, but at that moment, he was made to look like a bad person.
Mu Jingzhe told everyone not to gossip about this, but it didn't work. He wanted to go see them, but in the end, his rewards were not only thrown away, but he was also subjected to a lot of hatred.
The children were also almost angry to death.
Why are their mothers hated when they do nothing wrong? They are obviously helping someone.
Shao Nan regretted it a little. "Should I not read the law book?"
"Of course not. You did very well, Shao Nan. We did a good deed and saved them, okay? They just find it hard to accept it because everything is so sudden.”
Mu Jingzhe could understand this. Those who were close to going there were very grateful to him, and only a small percentage of people hated him.
If they hate it, let it be. Staying alive is the most important thing. If they really went there, they would probably get sexually transmitted diseases like the real Mu Jingzhe.
Most importantly, they had prevented more victims from appearing, which was enough.
“What we can do is just do our best. Everyone makes sense. It will get better in the future.”
Shao Nan was still a little angry, but when she woke up the next day, she found a parcel in the courtyard. He doesn't know who threw it.
Although they will be criticised, they could also have a fresh start after being rescued.
"See that?" Mu Jingzhe showed it to Shao Nan.
As Shao Nan read the thank you note, her tightly furrowed brows finally loosened a little.
While Mu Jingzhe had been implicated, Li Fang was the trigger for this matter. In the end, Li Fang did not escape the slander. They said that it was actually Li Fang who wanted to do something embarrassing to earn money. After all, even his sister, Li Tao, had escaped.
When mentioning Li Tao, the slandering people seemed to find a point to launch a counterattack. They said that Li Tao must have gone to work as a prostitute. Otherwise, how could he know so much?
Although many people know that this is slander, there are still people who believe and criticize it harshly.
Li Tao's name was attacked once again. Some bad things were being talked about about Li Fang, so Li Fang was furious.
As Mu Jingzhe was thinking about how to stop the slander, something big happened in the Great Eastern Village.
Everyone's attention was quickly attracted by this matter.
When the weather was clear, everyone went to the fields to see it. Instead of seeing how the crops were produced, one of the families almost died in shock.
They saw a rotting corpse.
The rain has been going on for a few days. Some places had collapsed under the rain, watering the corpses that had been buried somewhere.
Their screams broke the silence of the Great Eastern Village.
Some of the more daring villagers went to see him. Since the body was already rotting, it was difficult to recognize his face, but one could tell from his clothes that the corpse was a woman, and a young woman at that.
Her clothes are a little familiar too. Upon taking a closer look, they realized that the corpse was similar to Bai Qiang's wife, Li Tao, whom he accused of fleeing.
A stone can create a thousand ripples. The entire Great Eastern Village was shocked.
Mu Jingzhe was also shocked. So Li Tao didn't run away? She's been dead?
Mu Jingzhe's first reaction was to call the police.
The village chief reacted quickly and immediately sent someone to the police station to report this to the police.
When everyone heard that, they ran to see it. Mu Jingzhe was about to take the children to the regional art school, but when he heard that, he sent the children home and quickly rushed over.
He would not join in having fun but advise the village chief.
It would be better for them to keep an eye on the corpse. Although not a CTF, the body must still be protected. That way, the police will be easier to investigate the case.
Besides, it's not good to keep looking at this corpse. Children or shy people will be very afraid if they see it.
Also, although no one in the village said anything, all eyes were on Bai Qiang's family.
Bai Qiang's presence was so strong earlier that no one could forget him.
The village leader did not need to be reminded this time. He secretly asked people to keep an eye on Bai Qiang and capture him if he dared to escape.
Mu Jingzhe heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the village chief had arranged everything well.
This was his first reaction when he heard about Li Tao's death.
There are data supporting that when married people are harmed, the other half are the biggest suspects.
A large group of villagers had gathered on an empty plot of land where the collapse had occurred. There was commotion everywhere. Not seeing the corpses around, they began to discuss amongst themselves. It has been more than ten years since someone was killed this way in their village.
