1157 The Past Case
Mo Long had heard of this case before, but due to various reasons, it was left unsettled. It was said that one of the woman’s family members had a heart attack on the spot after the results were out. When he was finally sent to the hospital, he was already dead.
However, the incident was blocked by the local media, and very little news leaked out. Furthermore, Mo Long wasn’t someone who liked to pry into other people’s family matters, so he didn’t pay too much attention to this case.
It was only now that Jiang Yu mentioned it again that Mo Long had a slight impression of the case.
Hence, he told Jiang Yu everything he knew and said, “It’s been more than ten years since this case happened, and not many people remember it. Even if we bring it up to the police, they won’t care.”
“But if we leave Hu Lei alone, what if he does something bad again? The girl who was hurt didn’t dare to tell anyone about her grievances. Even if she did, she wouldn’t get a response because no one was willing to help her.” Jiang Yu said, feeling a little emotional.
Mo Long appeased her emotions and said, “Yu, don’t be anxious.”
“I’m not anxious. I just feel bad for the girl who committed suicide.” Jiang Yu tried her best to control her emotions. “Sister Xia told me that the girl’s family was too poor to afford a lawyer. That’s why she lost the lawsuit so thoroughly.”
Mo Long was silent for a moment before saying, “Alright, we’ll investigate this case together. No matter if this case is real or fake, I will help you investigate it.”
“Alright,” she said. Jiang Yu’s furrowed brows finally relaxed.
Jiang Yu first found out about the girl’s family situation and home address on the internet before she went to visit her with Mo Long.
However, more than ten years had passed, so they moved away a long time ago. But, the neighbors of the place where they used to live knew the general location of their old home.
“Their family? I remember. I heard that they moved here to take better care of their daughter. In the end, his daughter committed suicide. They didn’t win the lawsuit, so they packed up and moved away.” The neighbor talked about what happened in the past until he finally mentioned a place.
Jiang Yu and Mo Long had never heard of that place before. It seemed to be in a very remote countryside.
Mo Long Drove the car with the GPS on. After two hours of bumpy mountain roads, they finally found the village.
Jiang Yu had already gone to the countryside with sister Xia once to investigate Ah Xiang. She had originally thought that such a village was already desolate enough, but the village in front of her was even more dilapidated.
The house was on the verge of collapse, and the plastic film on top was torn apart by the wind.
There were still a few people living here in the village, but most of them were elderly people who couldn’t move. There were also a few women taking care of them. The men had probably gone out to work, and the children had probably gone to school, which was why the village looked so desolate and dilapidated.
“I wonder which household is the girl’s home.” Jiang Yu mumbled as she brought Mo Long to every house to ask.
Mo Long had never come into contact with such a place before, so Jiang Yu told him to wait at the door while she went in to ask.
“Hello, do you know Jing Jing? ”
Jing Jing was the name of the girl who had committed suicide back then. For some reason, the media did not even give her a full name and had replaced it with her nickname, ‘Jing Jing’.
The person being questioned was a middle-aged woman with a few strands of white hair. She was washing rice at home. She saw that Jiang Yu was beautiful, spoke gently, and was dressed in bright and beautiful clothes. She didn’t look like a bad person.
So she said, “Just follow this road and walk straight. There’s a house at the end. There’s a girl nicknamed Jing Jing. I don’t know if she’s the one you’re looking for.”
“It’s Okay, thank you.” Jiang Yu thanked her politely and brought Mo Long to the smallest and most dilapidated house at the end of the road.
Other than two skinny hens, there was nothing else in the yard. The room was also very dark, and it was impossible to see the scene inside from the outside.
Jiang Yu walked to the door and asked politely, “Is anyone home?”
After a long time, a hunchbacked old man walked out. “What’s the matter? ”
The old man’s hair was white, his cheeks were sunken, and his eyes were dull. However, his footsteps were still quite nimble, so his physical condition should be good.
“Hello,” Jiang Yu said. “May I ask if you are Jing Jing’s grandmother?”
The old lady froze. It had been a long time since she had heard the word ‘Jing Jing’. “I’m Jing Jing’s mother.” She sobbed after a long time.
