Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 833

After leaving the Mayor’s home, Houzi returned to Xie Village to visit his uncle. Since there is no work to do, he plans to stay at his uncle’s house while waiting for the order from the mayor’s wife.

At the same time, in Yan Village, a group of police officers were busy questioning the villagers. Everyone knew a body had been found in the foothills and is that of a murder victim.

While the main suspect has been captured, police are still looking for accomplices and more evidence. Because of this incident, a heavy atmosphere enveloped Yun village.

As witnesses who discovered the body and reported the crime, Grandpa Feng, Grandma Feng, and several children were taken to the production team office for detailed questioning.

Although they were scared, they didn’t change their story and told the police everything they witnessed and what was happening that day. Therefore, all their statements are similar and can only prove that they are witnesses and nothing else.

After the questioning, the police asked everyone to go home. When Grandpa Feng and Grandma Feng arrived home, they saw the children’s parents waiting for them outside their house.

Seeing them coming, one of the parents came over angrily and said, "Uncle Feng, Aunt Feng, how could you let them interrogate my child? Look how scared she is now!"

After hearing her unreasonable remarks, Grandpa Feng frowned and said, "My niece, I feel that this matter is not my fault, nor my wife’s fault. In fact, your child was the one who tripped over that hand. She was also the first one to discover the body. My wife and I just went over to check on her."

"As for the interrogation, that’s entirely up to the police officer. We don’t have that power to change a police officer’s mind or deny their request," he added.

"That’s just your excuse. If you hadn’t been nosy and reported it to the authorities, my child wouldn’t have been taken away for questioning," the villager argued back.

"So, you mean, when we find the body, we should pretend not to know and let the murders run rampant?" Grandpa Feng asked, squinting his eyes.

The villager waved her hand and said, "Even if you don’t report it, others will. Why should you do this? Do you want to be a hero or get more attention? Well, congratulations, now everyone knows you were the one who reported it to the authorities and we have a murder running rampant!"

Grandpa Feng was looking at her in disbelief after hearing what this woman said.

He looked at everyone, saw the blame in their eyes, and said, "It’s indeed my fault. I shouldn’t have gone to check on your children. Even if they encountered wild animals, were injured, or even killed, I shouldn’t have gone there and caused trouble for myself."

Everyone’s faces turned ugly when they heard this, and one of them asked unhappily, "Uncle Feng, what do you mean by this? Are you cursing my son to be killed by wild animals?"
