126 Let Them Go

“No! No, I still have to send my mother to her grave!” Lin Kai roared. He was already scared out of his wits.

The chat history and online loan records on Guo Miao’s phone were real, but his phone had several layers of security, so not everyone could see it.

Furthermore, how did Guo Miao deduce that they were the ones who had drugged the old folks?

Lin Kai’s face was covered in tears and snot, but he still shouted, “I’m innocent, I’m really innocent! Officer, you can arrest me if you want, but can you let me send my mother to her funeral?”

Pa! A loud slap landed on Lin Kai’s face.

Old Master Lin stood in front of Lin Kai with his hand raised. This slap had used up all his strength, and he stood unsteadily.

Guo Miao quickly went over to support Grandpa Lin.

“How can you have the face to send your mother to her grave? Your mother raised you for 18 years, and you’re really going to throw away your conscience for 500,000 yuan.”

Looking at Old Master Lin’s disappointed expression, Lin Kai finally burst into tears. He had also been careless and lost his mind. If he could do it again, he would definitely not have killed his parents like this. However, there was no second chance since everyone only had one life.

Guo Miao helped Old Master Lin to Granny Lin’s side.

Old Master Lin stretched out his hand to slowly rub and spread out old Granny Lin’s stiff hands. Then, he used water and a towel to help her tidy up her face.

According to Nanshan tradition, it was inauspicious to shed tears on the deceased, so Grandpa Lin held back his tears.

When a professional undertaker walked over and took the towel from him, the old man’s tears fell like a broken string of beads.

“Old woman, I’ve let you down.” Old Master Lin sighed.

“Grandpa, you haven’t fully recovered yet. Let me help you in,” Guo Miao comforted.

The old man nodded and walked into the room, looking back with each step.

“How many years do you think your uncle will be sentenced to?” Old Master Lin said as Guo Miao helped him onto the brick bed.

“If it’s murder, life imprisonment or the death penalty is possible,” Guo Miao said.

The old man shook his head in pain. He only had one son. Although he was not a good-for-nothing, they still shared long-term memories.

Now, his son had turned against him for a few hundred thousand yuan and even killed his mother who had accompanied him for decades. The old man’s heart was in pain as if it was being cut by a knife.

“If you wish for a lighter sentence, I can help Uncle find a lawyer. However, this is not the result I want to see.”

Old master Lin patted Guo Miao’s hand. “You’re indeed my granddaughter. We have the same thoughts. I don’t want him to get a light sentence. Although our Lin family is poor, we can’t break the law.”

After dealing with these matters, the old man was tired.

Guo Miao settled him down and went out to discuss the next thing with Yang Sheng.

Yang Sheng roughly looked at the evidence that could be provided. The old man’s certification was indeed a piece of very favorable evidence, but it would be good if there was direct evidence of the purchase of medicine.

Guo Miao took out a piece of paper from her bag and handed it to Yang Sheng.

“This is the purchase record I asked my father to get from the pharmacy. It has the record of her buying the medicine that is incompatible in three batches.”

Yang Sheng couldn’t help but exclaim, “You’re very talented in handling cases. If you were a little later, they might have found a way to get rid of the evidence.”

Guo Miao shook her head. “No matter what, I’ll have to trouble you today, Officer Yang.”

Yang Sheng quickly waved his hand. “We’re serving the people. It’s just that your uncle was involved in a murder-related case. I’m afraid the punishment will be very heavy. I hope you can help your family be mentally prepared.”

“He deserves this.” Guo Miao’s reaction was also indifferent. She didn’t have a good impression of this uncle, and there was no kinship to speak of. Therefore, the heavier the punishment, the better. This way, her grandfather wouldn’t have to see him again.

After Officer Yang left, Guo Miao returned to her room.

The funeral outside was handled by her father and aunt. What she had to do now was to take good care of the old master’s health.

Although the poison in the old man’s body had been detoxified, there were still some remnants. Coupled with the confrontation with Lin Kai just now, his entire body had been drained of energy.

He lay on the bed and closed his eyes in pain.

Guo Miao sighed. She started the stove and torched the herbs that she had just used. The faint smell of herbs filled the room and her grandpa’s brows relaxed.
