Chapter 540: Chapter 540: Torture Reversed 4_1

"Right!" Lin Chan was stunned for a moment, and then slapped his head, saying, "Let’s go up and ask again!"

After saying hello to Chen Yun, Lin Chan, taking He Zhilan with him, ran back and knocked on the door. When the eldest sister saw the two of them, her expression was somewhat taken aback.

"Sis, are you keeping something from me? Sis, your husband has already died, moreover, he was threatened into committing suicide by jumping off a building. The note you received late last night was a threat against you and Xiaogan by that person. However, based on the findings of the police investigation and the story you’ve told us, your husband was an entirely selfish man. How could he have possibly jumped because of a threat to you two?"

Seeing the eldest sister looking flustered, He Zhilan raised her voice and continued, "Sis, your husband was taken away by the police on suspicion of deliberate murder, you..."

"I know what you’re trying to say!" the eldest sister suddenly cut off He Zhilan’s words. Then she said, "I really didn’t mean to keep it from you guys. However, he’s dead, it’s all over, and yet Xiaogan and I still have to live."

Having said that, the eldest sister went back in for a moment and then came out with a bag, she handed it over to He Zhilan and said, "Before he jumped, he told me that after his death, I should use the money here to give him a decent funeral, and then use the rest to raise our son."

Lin Chan immediately took it, opened it to see that it was a medical diary and a stack of large-denomination cash. Weighing it in his hands he said, "There’s at least three thousand here. This buying of a killer’s work really did cost quite a sum!" Then he opened the medical diary and flipped through it, asking, "Did your husband have cancer?"

"I don’t know." the eldest sister shook her head, her expression indeed not giving away any falsehood, "I can’t read, I don’t know what this book is, but I know about this money. It’s illicit money; I initially wanted to hand it over to you guys, but after his death, there are funeral expenses. Xiaogan and I still need to live, what would we do if you guys took this money away?"

When she finished speaking, the eldest sister raised her eyes to He Zhilan and pleaded, "Miss He, I know you’re a good person and you also know the police. Can you please talk to them, I won’t ask for too much money, just enough to cover a simple funeral and my child’s first-year school fees is enough! Other children start school at age seven, but my Xiaogan doesn’t even know what a school looks like. I can’t read, and I don’t want my child to follow in my illiterate footsteps."

Seeing the two had not spoken, the eldest sister took a step back and offered, "Or just leave enough for my child’s first year of school. If it weren’t for him thinking of the child before his death, I wouldn’t care about him even if he’s dead."

"It seems that your husband knew he didn’t have long to live after being diagnosed with cancer, so he planned to earn some money for his own funeral in advance." Lin Chan glanced at He Zhilan and shrugged, "Such people are no different from desperate fugitives. No wonder he jumped so decisively, it turns out he knew that if he didn’t die today, he could die of illness any day."

"Do you know who your husband often made contact with? Where he used to hang out a lot?" He Zhilan fired off another question.

After the eldest sister mentioned two places and couldn’t think of any others, Lin Chan, seeing how pitiful the eldest sister really was, decided to let her keep the money, then took the medical diary and left with He Zhilan.
