Chapter 1199: Killing relatives for justice
Police station.
Before taking Ma Siyi's statement, the police repeatedly confirmed: "The suspect is your mother. Are you sure you want to sue her for theft? Once the case is filed, it will be a criminal case, and the nature will be completely different."
Ma Siyi said firmly: "It is certain that this one million is for grandma's retirement money, and no one can touch it."
"Well, come with us."
In the office, the police waited for Ma Siyi to describe what happened before asking a question.
"According to what you said, you are still a sophomore in high school. Whose money is this one million?"
"mine."
"Did your family give it to you?"
“No, I earned it.”
The police questioned: "Did you earn all the one million? How did you earn it?"
Ma Siyi briefly recounted the process of how Qin Hao led them to make money by selling top-quality equipment, skill books, and gold bars in the legendary game.
The old policeman looked at the young policeman and whispered, "Can online games really make so much money?"
"Master, I've played the game Legend, and there are indeed a lot of good equipment in it that sells for sky-high prices, but does their behavior count as tax evasion?"
The old policeman shook his head slightly: "That's the tax bureau's business, what does it have to do with us?"
"You said you had activated SMS alerts, so why didn't you report the loss to the bank immediately after receiving the withdrawal notification?"
Ma Siyi answered in detail: "Our school does not allow electronic products. I usually leave my phone at home. When I got home from evening self-study, I found that my bank card was missing and then I saw the text message."
"Then how did you know that it was your mother who stole your bank card? As far as I know, there are several families living in your yard, and they are all very familiar with your family. Why don't you suspect them?"
Ma Siyi hurriedly said, "Uncle policeman, although the families in our yard are not related by blood, we are closer than a family. We always eat New Year's Eve dinner together. Besides, there is no need for them to steal my bank card because they also have one million."
"You mean, every household in your yard has one million?"
"Yes."
Ma Siyi said with a somewhat agitated expression: "Uncle police, you don't know, my mother started doing pyramid selling a long time ago, her situation is very bad, and her current husband just went bankrupt, and she stole my bank card before, and I found out."
"Since she has such a criminal record, why did you put such an important thing in an unlocked drawer?"
Ma Siyi said bitterly: "Perhaps, subconsciously, I still don't think of her that badly."
After taking a statement from Ma Siyi, the police took a statement from Qin Hao and Xie Wanghe respectively, mainly to determine the source and authenticity of the one million.
"You guys go back first. Don't worry, we will solve the case as quickly as possible. When the bank opens, report the loss of your bank card as soon as possible to avoid further financial losses."
"Thank you, policeman."
"Thank you, officer."
After coming out of the police station, Qin Hao saw that Ma Siyi was still in a daze, so he comforted her softly, "It's okay, let's go and report the loss as soon as the bank opens. One million is not a small amount of money. Whether it's transferring money or withdrawing cash, you need to make an appointment in advance. She won't be faster than us no matter what."
Ma Siyi nodded reluctantly, and said angrily: "It's all my fault. I knew she was like that, but I didn't take precautions and made grandma toss around again."
Grandma Ma couldn't help feeling sad when she heard this. Her granddaughter always thought about others. How could such a good child have such a mother?
"It's okay, grandma is in good health, and I don't have to get up early to go to the bank tomorrow."
"grandmother……"
Ma Siyi threw herself into her grandmother's arms.
As soon as the sky was getting light, Ma Siyi was awakened by a ray of morning light. He sat up from the bed as if he was wound up, which scared Grandma Ma who was standing beside him.
Ma Siyi couldn't fall asleep last night and was prepared to stay up all night. In the end, it was only after Grandma Ma patted her back and sang nursery rhymes to her that Ma Siyi slowly fell asleep.
"I'm sorry, grandma..."
Seeing his grandmother's obvious lack of energy, Ma Siyi felt even more guilty.
"Siyi, you must be hungry. Grandma will make you breakfast. It's still early. We can still make it to the bank after breakfast."
"Ah."
At around 6:30, the other households in the courtyard began to make preparations for setting up their stalls.
Xie Wang and the others also got up early, but no one went to school. They all planned to go to the bank with Ma Siyi.
Ma Siyi was moved and quickly persuaded: "No need, grandma and I can go by ourselves."
"That's impossible. If we don't see it with our own eyes, we won't be able to concentrate in class." Xia Fenghua put a hand on Ma Siyi's shoulder.
Li Yan, who was standing by, said unhappily, "When have you ever paid attention in class?"
Liang Haihong also grabbed his son Xie Wanghe's ear and said, "You just want to take this opportunity to skip class."
Xie Wanghe cried out in pain: "Oh, Mom, I promise, I will go back to school right after I finish my business with Siyi."
At this moment, Qin Hao also came.
"Why are you here too? A model student is skipping classes?" Shao Xingchi hit Qin Hao on the chest.
Qin Hao smiled and said, "I called my class teacher to ask for leave. This is not called skipping class. You are the ones who are skipping class."
Shao Xingchi said depressedly: "Your No. 1 Middle School is too preferential to good students."
"You make it sound like No. 7 Middle School doesn't give any preferential treatment to good students. If Haozi came to our No. 7 Middle School, I guess the principal would worship him like a Buddha. So don't be jealous. If you have the ability, you can also get the first place in the grade." Xia Fenghua patted Shao Xingchi.
This caused Shao Xingchi to bar his teeth at Xia Fenghua: "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."
Everyone burst into laughter, and even Ma Siyi's originally cold face showed a hint of smile.
The group rode their bicycles to the bank. Grandma Ma sat behind Ma Siyi and put her arm around her waist.
"Grandma, you don't feel uncomfortable, do you?"
Ma Siyi rode very slowly, for fear of bumping his grandmother on the back seat.
But Grandma Ma said to Ma Siyi, "Siyi, hurry up and don't lose to them."
"Okay, grandma, hold me tight, I'm going to speed up."
At 7:30 in the morning, the sun had already poked its head out from the clouds, and the gentle rays of light from the sky sprinkled all over the entire Flower Street. Qin Hao's group of six bicycles were chasing each other, and the tires squeaking as they rolled over the bluestone slabs.
The light and shadow kept shifting on Qin Hao and the others. With her grandmother's encouragement, Ma Siyi rushed to the front, with the ends of her hair forming an arc in the morning light.
"You are too slow."
Seeing Ma Siyi smiling again, Qin Hao finally let go of his worry. As long as his grandmother was still alive, Ma Siyi would not be completely disappointed with this world.
Not long after, Qin Hao and his group arrived at the bank. As the bank was not open yet, Ma Siyi couldn't help showing an anxious look on his face.
Finally, at 8:30, the bank opened. With the protection of Qin Hao and others, Ma Siyi was the first to handle business.
Since the ID card belongs to Grandma Ma, it can only be processed by Grandma Ma, Ma Siyi reminded her.
Only after confirming that the bank card was reported lost and frozen did Ma Siyi breathe a sigh of relief.
However, now that the money is involved in a case, even she cannot make up for it. She can only use the money after the verdict of the case is announced.
……
Three days later, Ma Siyi received a call from the police station.
After hanging up the phone, Ma Siyi felt mixed emotions.
Qin Hao, who was tutoring Ma Siyi, noticed something was wrong with her and asked, "Is it Officer Zhou who called?"
Ma Siyi nodded: "My mother was arrested."
During these three days, she hoped more than once that the police would be able to solve the case quickly, but when she really got the news that her mother had been arrested, she couldn't help but ask herself if she had been too ruthless.
"From my mother's perspective, I'm probably not a good daughter, right?"
Qin Hao said seriously: "You don't need to think about whether you are a good daughter from her perspective, because from our perspective, she is a bastard and is not worthy of being a mother."
"You always find ways to comfort me." Ma Siyi leaned her head gently on Qin Hao's shoulder. She was really tired these days.
"It's not a consolation. In my opinion, you are the kindest and most beautiful girl in the world. Your only shortcoming is that you are too nice."
Ma Siyi sneered: "Being too good is also a disadvantage?"
"Remember the Analects of Confucius?"
"Ah."
"Someone asked, 'How about repaying evil with good?' Confucius said, 'How do you repay good? Repay evil with justice, and repay good with virtue.'"
Ma Siyi raised her emerald eyes and looked at Qin Hao: "But after all, she gave me life."
Qin Hao said seriously, "Reproduction is the most basic instinct of animals. You've seen Animal World, right? This is just a necessary way for animals to spread their genes. The reason why humans attach great importance to reproduction is actually because human cubs are too fragile and have a long growth cycle. During the growth cycle of human cubs, adult humans need to pay extremely high costs for raising them."
"You mean, nurturing is more important than giving birth?"
"It is undeniable that having children requires taking certain risks, but for the child, this amount of effort is far less than the more than ten years of raising him."
Ma Siyi's eyes flashed a few times, and he looked at Qin Hao in silence for a long time.
"I know what to do."
Arriving at the police station again, Officer Zhou confirmed again: "Are you sure you don't want to drop the case?"
Ma Siyi's eyes were full of determination: "Let her stay in there for a while. Maybe she won't have time to engage in pyramid selling, and she will live a better life after she comes out."
Officer Zhou hesitated for a moment: "She wants to see you. Of course, you can choose not to see her..."
"I see." Ma Siyi hesitated for a moment.
"Okay, come with me."
In the detention center, Ma Siyi saw his haggard mother.
The latter saw her as if he had found a life-saving straw: "Siyi, quickly ask the police to withdraw the case. I can't stay here for another day."
Ma Siyi's expression did not fluctuate at all, as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
"I will not drop the case. This is the punishment you deserve."
Upon hearing this, Siyi's mother suddenly changed her weak expression and turned ferocious. She roared at Ma Siyi, "You beast, I am your biological mother. I gave birth to you after ten months of pregnancy. You actually want to send your own mother to prison. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
Ma Siyi looked at her coldly: "Besides the fact that you are my biological mother, what have you done for me all these years? As far as I can remember, it was always my father who was with me. Later, my father passed away, and not long after that, you found a new lover. Later, you got pregnant and left me to my grandmother without any care."
Seeing this, Siyi's mother knew that forcing the issue would not work, so she quickly changed her strategy: "Siyi, listen to me, I didn't know there was so much money on that card, and I only withdrew 20,000 yuan. I didn't touch a penny of the rest..."
"No, you know there is one million in the card. Xia Fenghua said that you only withdrew 20,000 because the ATM limit is 20,000 per day. It's not that you didn't want to withdraw the rest of the money, but I went to report it lost early the next morning."
Siyi's mother was speechless and had to pretend to regret: "Siyi, Mom really has no other choice. Lao Ge is bankrupt, and you still have a younger brother. He is only a few years old. Milk powder, diapers, etc. all cost money..."
"I don't have a brother. I am your only daughter. He is your son with Lao Ge. I have nothing to do with him."
Seeing that Ma Siyi refused to budge, Siyi's mother completely lost her defense and yelled hysterically.
"You cold-blooded beast, if I had known you were like this, I should not have given birth to you..."
Ma Siyi reached out and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Look, this is your true face."
"Yeah, why did you give birth to me in the first place? If I'm guessing correctly, it was because you wanted to use me to tie Dad down. At that time, Dad had already discovered that you were deeply involved in pyramid schemes and couldn't extricate yourself, so he wanted to divorce you. So you used me to threaten him and made him pay off your debts again and again, right?"
Siyi's mother showed a look of horror on her face and dared not look her daughter in the eye anymore. She looked like a vampire exposed to the sun and seemed extremely painful.
"No, you're talking nonsense. No, I didn't..."
Ma Siyi said coldly: "You know it in your heart."
After saying that, Ma Siyi stood up and prepared to leave.
Siyi's mother was in despair and yelled like a madman: "You ungrateful beast, your whole family is beasts. Your grandmother pretended to be poor to me all day long. She clearly left a huge sum of one million for you, but she only gave me a few thousand yuan each time. It's her who made me like this today!"
Snap, a loud slap echoed in the air.
"You are a beast. You are a demon whose humanity has been devoured by pyramid schemes. Grandma gets up early and works late every day to sell snacks, and only makes a few dozen yuan a day. The few thousand yuan you look down on takes her a year to save. She saved this money bit by bit from her teeth."
"People like you don't deserve to live in the sun. Prison is your best destination."
Siyi's mother was really panicked now: "Siyi, I know I was wrong, please don't treat me like this, I beg you..."
This time, Ma Siyi did not hesitate at all and left quickly.
Two months later, Siyi's mother was sentenced to five years in prison. This time, Ma Siyi did not feel sad at all, but instead felt a sense of relief.
“I hope these five years without MLM can help her become a human being again.”
