"Chen Mo, I asked about what you asked me to ask that day. They said that although there is no definite evidence yet, this company is suspected of committing financial fraud, and the economic investigation detachment of the bureau is investigating, so I suggest you don't Go and sign, at least don't pay." Yang Wenyu went straight to the topic, which was exactly what Chen Mo was worried about. Fortunately, no losses have been caused yet. "Okay, thank you. I'll go talk to my parents first." Chen Mo hung up the phone and walked to the sofa in the living room to sit down. At this time, Zhao Guyu was sitting opposite, frowning tightly and saying nothing. "Mom, is this about the third uncle?" Thinking of the identity of the person who came just now, Chen Mo also had a rough police obviously have more than just suspicions. They should already have quite strong evidence. The so-called drunk driving this morning is probably a trap set by them. Chen Shanyu, a person with a junior high school diploma, is obviously not enough to make such a large-scale plan. , there must be other people behind the wheel, and temporarily controlling him through an unrelated method can also avoid alerting the snake. "You know?" Zhao Guyu raised his head, a little surprised at his son's well-informed news, and then realized: "Is it the phone call just now?" Chen Mo nodded and poured a glass of water for himself and his mother respectively: "Yes, I made a note at the time and asked a friend to help me check whether the company was really reliable. It was just in case, but I didn't expect it. Third uncle is actually..." Zhao Guyu held up the cup, her slightly trembling hands revealing her inner panic. "It's okay, Mom, we don't have much to lose anyway, right?" Chen Mo couldn't help but expressed relief when seeing his mother being so rude. "No, you went out at that time, and I paid him a deposit..." Zhao Guyu was choked up when he said this, and his voice stopped. Chen Mo's hand trembled slightly. At that time, he went out to call Yang Wenyu. When he came back, he only read the contract. Unexpectedly, Zhao Guyu handed over a deposit in just a few minutes. "How much did you pay?" Chen Mo asked tentatively. He was not afraid of the loss, but felt that Zhao Guyu might not be able to bear it if the amount was too large.
"One hundred thousand." Zhao Guyu's lips turned a little white, and it seemed that he had received a big blow. Chen Shanyu was a good old man among the brothers and sisters, and his relationship with the others was not particularly tense. He was one of the few relatives of Zhao Guyu who could talk to him, so she didn't think much about it at the time, not to mention that he was still After taking out the seemingly formal and complete procedures and contracts, I fell into a trap by accident. "It's okay. I should be able to catch him back. What did the police tell you just now?" After Chen Mo simply comforted him, he tried to change the topic away from the loss. "That's it. They said they need our testimony very much at the moment, because almost everyone gets the 10 yuan, so it's very important." Zhao Guyu drank the water in the cup and slowly leaned on the back of the sofa. His eyes were looking straight ahead, as if he was thinking about something. "But he is my brother after all, and we had a good relationship before. Even if we don't talk about him, there is still your cousin..." After a short silence, Zhao Guyu hesitated and said, seeming to be concerned about sending Chen Shanyu to prison. Things are a bit hesitant. "Now it seems that this is where Third Uncle's money came from. He has probably done this kind of thing a lot over the years. If the police hadn't controlled him, he might have lost all the hard-earned money of our entire village this time. Cheat it." Chen Mo's mind immediately thought of the examples that the little fox had just told him during the live broadcast. Chapter 85 Cousin’s request 10 yuan is really nothing to him now, so he actually doesn't have much hatred for his third uncle. He said this mainly to make Zhao Guyu feel better. It was not his fault for being cheated, but Chen's fault. Shan Yu’s fault, not to mention that these losses can still be recovered. Sure enough, as the two of them talked to each other, Zhao Guyu's expression gradually relaxed, and his tightly held hands gradually loosened. "If you have anything to think about tomorrow, go to bed first. Anyway, he is in the hands of the police now, and the money can't escape." Seeing this, Chen Mo began to persuade Zhao Guyu to go back to his room and sleep. This kind of thing only needs to be overcome by the mind that just got the news. The shock will not be so difficult to accept later, so even if you have to make any decision, you have to wait until at least the next day. With Chen Mo's help, Zhao Guyu finally returned to the room. Chen Mo, who breathed a sigh of relief, immediately contacted Yang Wenyu after returning to his room. "How are you doing, how are you going to reward me?" Of course, the little policewoman on the other side of the phone couldn't possibly know that Zhao Guyu had already paid the deposit, and her first sentence after the call was answered was to take credit. "I will fill you up in bed, little Yinba." Chen Mo was not in a hurry to get down to business right away, and flirted with Yang Wenyu for a few words, and then said that his mother had paid a deposit before. Yang Wenyu, who was already a little confused by the silver words between himself and Chen Mo, heard this, and his brain quickly regained consciousness. After thinking for about half a minute, he said to Chen Mo: "According to what you said, the recovery of the loss is No problem, any losses recovered after the case is completed will be returned to the victim. Now it mainly depends on your subjective willingness to hold the suspect accountable. After all, he is your relative. It would be better for you to talk to your parents. What about the police? Don't be too hasty, this is definitely not his first crime, and he won't be able to escape anyway. I can also inquire about the specific situation, but there may not be any particularly detailed results." After Chen Mo heard this, he was completely relieved. He was mainly worried that the money would be used as evidence and could not be retrieved, which caused Zhao Guyu to have some bad mentality. After hearing what Yang Wenyu said, he also gave up his worries, and the two of them went back to each other. After chatting for a while about what happened in the past few days, I found that there was nothing important and hung up the phone. In order not to affect Chen Kai's work, Zhao Guyu didn't tell the matter until he came home from get off work the next night. Chen Mo, who had just vented the desire he had accumulated in the past few days on Yan Qing and Ye Peiqi, also Just when I came back for dinner, the family of three discussed this matter at the dinner table. Chen Kai's mood was quite stable, but he was a little surprised when he heard the news. He didn't expect Chen Shanyu to do such a thing. The three of them were silent for a while, and Chen Kai spoke first: "Although Shanyu is a member of the family, I don't want to easily forgive him for doing this kind of thing. During this period, our hospital has admitted no less than ten people because of these things. He committed suicide, and our money can be recovered, but there are more people’s money behind him, so I think we should follow what the police said.” Zhao Guyu was very hesitant: "That's why, no matter what we do, he can't get away with it. I don't want to show that he is adding insult to injury. What's more, there is also the child Xinyang. He only has Shanyu in the first place. If he goes in again It's..." Her idea is that since Chen Shanyu will always be punished by law, then as a relative, there seems to be no need for her to pursue him.
Chen Kai also sighed, took off his glasses and rubbed his temples: "You are right. Shanyu used to feel like a very down-to-earth person. Who knows how he became like this..." After seeing his wife's attitude, His heart was also relaxed. "Let's talk about it, let's think about it." After a few minutes, Chen Kai sighed, stood up and started to clear the dishes on the table and put them into the dishwasher in the kitchen. Zhao Guyu got up and went downstairs to the living room to open the dishwasher. TV, it's almost time for her to watch TV series. Chen Mo was not very interested in the TV series, so he went back to the room soon as I turned on the computer, there was a knock on the door. Outside the door was Chen Kai. He said that although Chen Mo didn't seem to have anything abnormal at the moment, as a necessary step after the car accident, he still needed to go back for a review to make sure there were no sequelae from a medical point of view. This is also important for insurance compensation. in accordance with. Chen Mo said that he could go to the hospital early the day after tomorrow, because Chen Kai would be on duty tomorrow night and would still be in the hospital at that time. He could go and get checked before the laboratory department went to work, avoiding the trouble of queuing up. Since he had to get up early and had to do tests, Chen Mo couldn't sleep too late. After playing a few games with the little fox, he didn't continue. Instead, he chatted with her about the third uncle's affairs, and said that it was just as she said. After hearing what Chen Mo said, the other party couldn't help laughing. "I'm sorry, I couldn't hold it back, but actually I didn't expect that I would really say it, um... I'm sorry." The little fox's laughter was as distinctive as her voice, more neutral, but when she didn't speak So husky. "It's okay. I didn't expect that my mother paid the deposit at that time. And not long after you finished talking last night, the police came to confirm the situation." Chen Mo was also a little speechless. The situation at that time was really... What a coincidence. What the little fox said last night was like a live commentary, and the arrangements were clear. After calling Yang Wenyu and chatting for a while, Chen Mo went to the bathroom to take a shower and prepare to go to bed. When he returned to the bedroom and picked up his mobile phone, he found three missed calls on it, all from the same unknown Shanghai number. It was strange. At that time, I saw that there were two unread messages on my WeChat. When I opened it, I saw that it was from Chen Xinyang. "Xiao Mo, I have something to ask you. Can you answer my call?" It seems that those calls were also made by this cousin. Although Chen Mo did not leave her a mobile phone number, she only needed to look at the WeChat ID. Chen Mo did not modify it when registering WeChat and directly used the mobile phone number as the WeChat ID. Judging from the tone of the other party, it was obvious that he wanted to ask for something. As for what it was, he could probably guess it. Just when he exited WeChat and was about to call back to the other party, his phone buzzed and vibrated again - naturally it was Chen Xinyang's call again. "Hello?" Chen Mo did not directly identify the caller, but waited for the other party to speak first. "Is...is it Chen Mo?" A slightly trembling and delicate voice came from the other end of the phone. Chen Mo and Chen Xinyang didn't communicate much, and coupled with the sound distortion caused by the phone, it actually wasn't possible. Find out who it is. "I am." Chen Mo's answer was very brief. He needed to take the absolute initiative in this conversation. Chen Xinyang is definitely a first-class beauty, and Chen Shanyu will not be able to escape unscathed this time. The opponent at this time was definitely at his most vulnerable stage, not to mention that Chen Mo still had a lot of chips in his hands. A slightly dark idea gradually formed in Chen Mo's mind. [Bloodline: Turn Chen Xinyang into a slave who obeys your every word. 】 A sudden prompt from the system pulled Chen Mo back from his thoughts. Chen Xinyang's voice came from the phone: "Can you hear it? I am your cousin Xin Yang." It seemed that Chen Mo had not replied for a while. . "Ah, you hear me, cousin, what's the matter?" Chen Mo still pretended not to know anything and guided Chen Xinyang to tell the whole thing. At the same time, from the perspective of the suspect's daughter, she might know something. Things that Chen Mo doesn’t know shouldn't be difficult to get her into your crotch, but the more information you get, the more foolproof you will be. "I...my dad...something happened to him..." Sure enough, Chen Xinyang began to hesitate. It was very shameful for her to tell this matter, but there was nothing else in front of her at this time. choose. Chen Xinyang actually didn't know what her father had been doing. She only knew that after she went to college, her family's financial situation gradually became better. The consumption level in Shanghai, where her university is located, is very high. At first, her father gave her 1500 yuan a month. During a chat a few months later, she accidentally mentioned that a classmate in her dormitory bought a very beautiful piece of clothing. jacket, she did not express her desire to buy it at that time. For her at that time, the jacket worth nearly 3 yuan was completely out of reach. She did not even have the idea of owning it. have. However, some time later, on her birthday, she suddenly received a gift box. After opening it, she was surprised to find that it was a beige jacket of the same style. She immediately called her father and learned from the other party that after she went to college, her father quit his original job and started a small business with a few friends, which had made a lot of profits recently. After that, her monthly living expenses doubled to 3000 yuan, which was not low for a college student even in the Shanghai stock market. By the time she was in her first semester of college, this figure was even higher. It rose to 4000 yuan. Chen Xinyang did not live up to her father's expectations. She had good grades in school and was also the president of the college's student union. However, the almost unrestricted financial situation made her consumption concepts quickly change, and she began to buy some luxury goods. Taste it and enjoy this feeling very her outstanding appearance, excellent grades, and generous spending, she quickly became a well-known figure in the entire college and was quite well-known throughout the school. When Chen Shanyu was taken away yesterday, she thought it was just a minor issue related to drunk driving. However, when she followed the police all the way to the Public Security Bureau, she realized that something was wrong. A matter of drunk driving, even if it was drunk driving, did not require So much fanfare. She found a hotel to stay outside and waited in fear all day. Only on the afternoon of the next day did she learn from her lawyer that her father had been involved in a huge serial financial fraud case and was the main suspect.
This news shocked Chen Xinyang like a bolt from the blue. She had suspected that her father's sudden wealth might have hidden Chen Shanyu has always concealed it very well. Even if he was arrested this time, the evidence in the hands of the police is still relatively thin. For him, the most troublesome thing is the 10 yuan in his hand that was almost stolen. It cannot be washed away no matter what. Once convicted, you may be sentenced to more than ten years in prison just for this matter. In fact, the arrangement of the Lianhai City police was not imprecise. Within one day of Chen Shanyu's arrest, no one noticed anything unusual. However, this man with only a junior high school education showed extreme confidence and understanding of the to regulations, the police can only detain Chen Shanyu for 24 hours, and then it must be transferred to detention. Once this is done, Chen Shanyu can request to see a lawyer. Originally, this would not affect anything, but Chen Shanyu was not the ultimate target of the police. He, a person who had not even finished high school, could start a company and commit crimes in such a rigorous way. He must have the guidance of an expert behind police have made some guesses about this person's identity, but they are not very sure, let alone have evidence. They originally hoped to open a breakthrough from here, but once the news of Chen Shanyu's arrest is leaked, it will inevitably bring more troubles to the follow-up work. Big difficulty. Sure enough, after the lawyer met with Chen Shanyu that day, he immediately found Chen Xinyang in the evening, hoping that she could persuade Zhao Guyu's family to help cover up the specific situation of the 10 yuan, thereby delaying the police's handling of the case as much as possible , buying time for his partners and the people behind the scenes to destroy evidence and even run abroad. Chen Xinyang's behavior was just a reasonable operation by the suspect's family. The police could not stop it. They had to come to Zhao Guyu and others in advance to vaccinate Zhao Guyu and others after it was basically certain that Chen Shanyu could not be captured the night before, hoping that they would cooperate with the police. Don’t let family ties deter you from testifying. The relationship behind this is unknown to Chen Mo, Zhao Guyu and Chen Xinyang. Now Chen Xinyang is making this call just hoping to reduce her father's sentence as much as possible - according to the lawyer, if she can succeed, the other party will be sure Reduce Chen Shanyu’s sentence from the expected ten to 15 years to about five years. Chen Xinyang's mood was very complicated when she made the call. On the one hand, she blamed herself, thinking that it was her constant pursuit of material things that made her father fall deeper and deeper into trouble. On the other hand, she was used to that kind of lifestyle. She dared to imagine how she could go back to her slightly poor life in the future. More importantly, if her classmates knew about this, it would cause a huge blow to her reputation in the school. What's more, her relationship with this cousin is not good. Even if we don't talk about the conflicts in childhood, even in the meeting two days ago, her attitude towards him was quite cold, and what she said next , can be described as shameless. "My father signed an investment contract with you a few days ago, right? And then paid a deposit?" Chen Xinyang still couldn't calmly tell the fact that his father was a fraudster, so he had to start with the easier one. Part begins. Chapter 86 Confession "Well, there is such a thing as a contract. As for the details such as the deposit, I don't know. The specific decision should be made by my mother and my father. What's wrong?" Because several people were discussing the agreement. Xinyang was not present, so Chen Mo could pretend not to understand. This sentence cannot be wrong. He did not know about the deposit until yesterday. "My father has been arrested by the police now, so... I want... to ask you for something." Chen Xinyang swallowed it back as soon as the words came to her lips. She really didn't know how to explain. "Huh? Wasn't the third uncle found guilty of drunk driving? We may not be able to help with this." Chen Mo listened to the other party's hesitant tone and lay down on the bed, not in a hurry to get to the point. , but continued to tease Chen Xinyang, the image of her panicking but forcing herself to explain the whole matter appeared in her mind, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth unconsciously. "No... it's not about drunk driving. Let's make an appointment tomorrow. You can ask the second aunt and others about the agreement today. The more detailed the better." Chen Xinyang finally gave up on the phone. Explain the matter clearly and make an appointment to talk in detail. "Then do I need to call them together tomorrow?" Chen Mo asked knowingly. "No! Don't!" Chen Xinyang on the phone suddenly barked like a cat with exploded hair. Then he immediately realized his gaffe, calmed down his tone and said softly: "No, just... it's just us. Just two.” Chen Mo naturally couldn't bring his parents with him to delay his good deeds. The reason why he said this was just to further increase the tension of the other party. The more helpless Chen Xinyang is now, the smoother his plan will be. At noon the next day, Chen Mo drove to the restaurant they had made an appointment about an hour in advance, but instead of rushing in, he parked the car on the opposite side of the road and looked at the situation at the door. About 10 minutes later, Chen Mo saw a silver-gray Mercedes-Benz C300L parked in front of the restaurant. With his extraordinary eyesight, he could see through the front windshield that the person sitting in the passenger seat was Chen. The driver's face was blocked by the A-pillar of the car, and his appearance was completely invisible. Chen Xinyang chatted with the other party in the car for about six or seven minutes before getting out of the car with her bag. The car stopped at the door for a while and then slowly drove away. After confirming that the car was far away, Chen Mo got out of the car, put on a hat and sunglasses, and entered the restaurant at the appointed time. Chen Xinyang was sitting in the corner of this slightly deserted room waiting, Chen Mo walked straight over and sat down opposite her. "Sister Xin Yang, is there anything you want to tell me?" Because he was not familiar with Chen Mo, Chen Xinyang didn't even recognize that this person was Chen Mo at the first time. He was shocked after hearing these words, and it took a few seconds to slowly react: "First Order something and let’s talk while we eat.” Chen Mo noticed that her eyes were red and bloodshot. She looked like she had not slept last night and had just cried. It is the most vulnerable time. After a short period of time, the dishes they ordered were served. After eating quietly for a few bites, Chen Xinyang, who was asking for help, was the first to break the silence between the two.
"My father... he lied to you about the contract." When Chen Xinyang said this, Yin Ya bit the chopsticks in his hand tightly, almost breaking the pair of bamboo chopsticks which were not considered fragile. When bitten off, the sound is as quiet as a mosquito. "You lied to us? How do you say it?" Chen Mo's hand holding the water glass stopped in mid-air, pretending to be very surprised. "He...the investments he mentioned are all...all fake. I...I only found out yesterday..." Chen Xinyang's voice became smaller and smaller, and there was even a hint of crying at the end, and the corners of his eyes There were also two lines of tears. "Fake? Sister Xin Yang, please don't cry first. Speak slowly." Chen Mo put down the cup in his hand, took out two pieces of paper from the tissue box next to him and handed them over. "After my father was taken away yesterday, I realized that it wasn't because of drunk driving at all, but... it was because he had been... cheating money all these years, and the agreement he signed with you at that time was the same. "After a few minutes, Chen Xinyang, who had calmed down a little, spoke out about this matter tremblingly - of course Chen Mo already knew these things. "But this matter was first mentioned by me inadvertently. If I hadn't said that sentence, we might not have participated in this matter at all." Chen Mo touched his chin, he needed to be guided gradually The other party himself told what Chen Shanyu had done, and then issued a request. At the beginning of the conversation, he asked her to put herself in a very low position, which would be more convenient for Chen Mo's subsequent plans. "I don't know either. I just heard a general idea from the police and lawyers. I can't see my father now. Maybe he was planning to be with other people in the village... together." Chen Xin Yang Fu said. On the table, his body was shaking slightly, as if he was sobbing, and his black hair was spread over his shoulders and arms, swaying gently with the movement. "I asked my mother today, and she said that she did pay a deposit of 10 yuan to my third uncle that day." Seeing the other party's state, Chen Mo added in a somewhat sad tone. This undoubtedly gave Chen Xinyang the original The panic added a bit of despair - the lawyer made it very clear that if the 10 yuan really existed, there would be basically no room for maneuver in the whole matter. Even if all other facts were denied by the court, it would only start in ten years. . "Then if that's the case, what should we do with our money?" Chen Mo paused for a few minutes to let the other party accumulate some emotions, and then continued to add, with some anxiety in his tone, like someone who suddenly learned this. Like all people, the first concern is of course whether their losses can be recovered, but for Chen Xinyang, who was already in a state of confusion, this pressing situation made her breathless. Come. "We will definitely pay it back!" Before Chen Mo could finish his words, Chen Xinyang suddenly raised her head and stretched out her hand to tightly grasp one of Chen Mo's arms. Her eyes were red and visibly swollen. , the lipstick on her lips was also a little scratched, but she had no time to care about it at this time, for fear that Chen Mo would be dissatisfied with her answer and the other party would walk away. "I will collect that money as soon as possible and return it to my second aunt and uncle. Xiao Mo, I beg you not to testify to the police, okay?" Chen Mo could feel Chen Xin and Yang Fang's hands getting stronger and stronger. Showing the other party's fear and helplessness. "But after all, this matter has been known to the police, so we should also cooperate with their work, and the police should also refund our losses after this kind of case. Isn't it not good..." Chen Mo is of course impossible. If you make a request from the beginning, you need to refuse it righteously. Cao Pi has to make concessions three times. He wants someone's body, so he can't show it too openly. The best result is of course to let the other party take the initiative. Offer devotion. In fact, Chen Mo had already made a loophole here. He was still asking what to do with the money just now, and then he said that the police would refund the loss. He obviously knew about this matter for a long time, but at this time he had already How could Chen Xinyang, who had no ability to think, grasp such a small logical problem. "I can compensate you more, and the police will have to wait until the case is completely closed before they can retreat. It will take a long time." Chen Mo noticed that Chen Xinyang's eyes were wandering when he said this, and he had obviously thought about Chen Mo in advance. Answer like this and prepare a response plan. It was impossible for Chen Mo to let the conversation unfold under the plot designed by the other party, so he did not continue to dwell on the issue, but immediately changed the direction: "Even so, now that Third Uncle is in this situation, his property must have been frozen. You How could I raise so much money on my own?” Chen Mo thinks this should be Chen Xinyang's deadlock - she doesn't have much property of her own, and Chen Shan's remaining money is obviously impossible to use anymore, although if she is given a period of time, she can scrape together 10 yuan. It's not impossible, but the problem she just mentioned about the long time it takes for the police to refund money no longer exists, and the so-called overcompensation is not reliable either. "I have a single apartment under my name. It is in the suburbs of Shanghai. It is worth at least about 150 million. I can prepare to sell it immediately. I can pay you twice as much as you paid." Chen Xinyang's words made Chen Mo's eyebrows jump. Jumped - it seems that Chen Shanyu's actual amount of money involved in the case far exceeded his imagination. Even if this apartment was bought a few years ago when housing prices were not too high, it would still cost more than 100 million, plus his car, Real estate in this province, etc., it is roughly estimated that it must be 500 to [-] million. Liaodong Province is not a particularly economically developed region, and the amount of 500 to [-] million yuan involved in the case is likely to be the pension money of an elderly person in a village. What Chen Shanyu did can be called unscrupulous. Chen Mo suddenly realized that the man who drove Chen Xinyang here was probably Chen Shanyu's lawyer, and these series of operations were obviously designed by that person. Although Chen Xinyang was already in chaos, as long as that As long as the person is still there, it will be difficult for Chen Mo to complete his ideas. Of course it was important to bring Chen Xinyang into the harem, but that didn't mean that he was ready to let Chen Shanyu go. This was not about the 10 yuan at all. "Then have you thought about what you will do in the future? You sold the house that your third uncle left to you, and then what?" Chen Mo took his arm out of the other party's hand and tapped gently on the table rhythmically. "Then?" Chen Xinyang was interrupted by Chen Mo's rhetorical question. Her mind had been in chaos since yesterday. The only thought in her mind was to rescue her father. When she was suddenly asked this question, her mind couldn't turn around. Come. "Do you think that if our family doesn't pursue the case, the third uncle will be safe and sound?" Chen Mo had been leaning on the back of the chair before. When he said this, his upper body suddenly leaned forward, and he suddenly drew closer to Chen Mo. The distance between Xin and Yang was slightly frightened by his action, and he shrank back: "My father's lawyer said this, he can get about 3 years in prison." "This matter is not urgent for the past two days. Sister Xin Yang, please go back and think about it by yourself first, and then ask your classmates. They must be studying law. This matter cannot be so simple." Chen Mo recovered. He waved his hands as he did at the beginning, and then added: "First of all, the third uncle graduated from junior high school. Do you think it is impossible for him to come up with such a complicated situation by himself? Secondly, the third uncle has always worked in the same company. He and The contract we signed was also in the name of this company, so what role did this place play in the process? Third, we are just one of the victims. Your house in Shanghai, these brand-name clothes on your body, third Where did the Mercedes-Benz that my uncle drove come from? Without our [-] yuan, can the third uncle really be sentenced to only three years? Finally, no matter what the outcome of this matter is, how are you going to live in the future? " Chen Mo's continuous questions made Chen Xinyang sluggish. She had doubted these questions before, but for more than a day, she was nearly collapsed by the sudden blow, and then according to the lawyer, she was ready to talk to Chen The Mo family was negotiating and testifying, so they had no time to think about these things.
