Chapter 118: Seeking Individuals, Dead Or Alive (Part 2) I (1/2)
Skinny shook his head. ”I found something as well.”
Fatty moved his chair over to the center of the living room and we followed suit.
Fatty started, ”I've found some confusing stuff.”
”Share, quick,” Skinny urged.
”How do you think the truck driver was trialed? He worked hard for his family, his wife is jobless, his child is still studying...”
”Didn't the old man say that the driver killed his son and daughter-in-law? At least over 10 years of imprisonment, right?” I guessed.
”How then, do you think his grandson killed him?” Fatty questioned.
Something clicked in my mind. ”You're saying that the driver did not get a sentence after hitting them?”
”The old man tricked us. The driver drove when he was tired, but the old man's son drove under the influence of drugs. What's unexpected was the fact that the driver had a lawyer named Fang Tangjing, who charges 10,000 per appearance in court. A truck driver hiring such a costly lawyer? Isn't that fishy?” Fatty laid out for us.
”10,000 dollars? Impressive,” Skinny noted.
”Actually, what I found is related to this,” I said.
”Come, let's piece them all together,” Fatty responded.
”The old man left his company two years ago and his son took over. The son caused the company to lose 200,000,000 dollars in just half a year. A scoundrel through and through from what I gathered,” I summarized.
Skinny asked, ”His son's a bad person?”
”I also found out that the company has its own lawyer but he was absent that day. The old man did not get him to represent his son and daughter-in-law,” Fatty shared.
”That's why they lost,” I concluded.
”There had been a few times where the old man invited Fang Tangjing to stand for the company when the company lawyer wasn't around. Guys, do you understand what I'm saying? I think that the old man hired that driver to kill his own son and daughter-in-law,” Fatty inferred.
”Oh my G.o.d,” I exclaimed in disbelief.
”Not only that, but the final verdict was that his drugged son was the cause of the accident. The truck driver was required to pay a 10% compensation fee, but do you really think he can afford that?” Fatty questioned.
”The old man declined the money?” I asked.
Fatty only gave a bitter smile. ”He declined the money. However, a month later, the truck driver bought a suite in the city center and paid it in full.”
”So it's confirmed that the driver and the old man are in cahoots?” I clarified.
Fatty nodded. He said, ”Let's talk about the grandson now. He's being sentenced to death for murdering the truck driver, right? But he's very rich, shouldn't he be able to get away with anything?”
I frowned. ”What?”
”Just imagine. You're a rich man and your only grandson is being trialed. Won't you think about hiring the best lawyer to flip the case around?” Fatty argued.
”I'm guessing the old man didn't do that?” I said.
”Yes, he didn't do that. Even more suspiciously, the driver's wife had Fang Tangjing as her lawyer,” Fatty added.
”You're saying that the old man paid to get rid of his son, daughter-in-law, and his grandson? What for?” I asked, perplexed.
”There are pieces of evidence to support what I just claimed, but I'll be guessing the rest. Didn't the old man share that his wife died early?” Fatty began.
