Quick Wear: Random Cheats

Chapter 71: Murdered just after inheriting Yiqing Farm (10)

In this day and age, public transportation on most planets is basically artificial intelligence, that is, driverless cars. But driverless cars won't ask Ding Shui why he wants to go to a town that has disappeared?

If you want to go, then send Ding Shui with you!
So Ding Shui knew nothing about the situation here.

Fortunately, there is Internet now, and Ding Shui recalled her original memory and did not find any problems. This is indeed the town where her hometown is located, so she quickly searched the Internet with a very ugly expression.

#Tai'an town completely disappeared due to landslide! #
#Count down the crimes of Wanshuiyuan Group!! #
#The town residents are about to welcome their new homes. #
"Oh my god, such a huge town collapsed completely, leaving only a huge pit. Was there any early warning? How many casualties were there?"

【It's okay, no one died.】

[An early warning was issued, and everyone evacuated. If they hadn't, who knows how many people would have died in this situation. I'm afraid the imperial capital would have to send a special commissioner to supervise.]

【It’s good that no one died.】

So what's the reason? Are they digging a subway down there, or something else? A small town shouldn't need a subway, or is someone stealing the minerals?

It seems that Wanshuiyuan Group's excessive extraction and sale of groundwater caused a cavity in the aquifer beneath the town, leading to its eventual collapse. Wanshuiyuan Group has issued an apology and stated that it will properly resettle residents.

[It's Wanshuiyuan Group again. They are really unscrupulous in order to make profits. They drain the pond to catch all the fish. Last time, the source of the Tianshan Tourist Scenic Area was cut off, and it was finally discovered that they were taking too much water. As a result, they were fined more than 1 billion yuan. This big capital is really outrageous. Boycott it.

I will never buy water from him again.

I haven't heard of any natural water sources in that town. Could it be that they're using groundwater to pass off as spring water?

Wanshuiyuan Group also sells groundwater.

[It's really funny. They are celebrating their new home. Who would be happy if their house was gone? I have a relative who is crying his eyes out. He bought his house just one year ago and still has 29 years of mortgage to pay off. Now he has lost his house.

You have to continue paying the mortgage and rent a house.

Oh my god, I’m so angry just listening to this…]

Didn't the report above say that Wanshuiyuan Group was willing to take responsibility and provide them with new homes?

[Bullshit, I am just a resident of a small town. At that time, I thought that Wanshuiyuan Group had finally acted as a human being, was willing to take responsibility, and provided us with houses for free.

Even if the house is not so good and the location is a bit off, I would accept it, but in the end, he has to charge for that house.

Said they were willing to give us a 10% discount, bah!!]

[This... this is too much. Since they are the direct responsible parties for the ground subsidence, they should compensate them and provide them with a new house.

I'm not asking for too much, like a few houses.

[Oh my god, this family is truly so far ahead of the rest of us in terms of being unhuman. It's hard to even catch up with them!]

Does the government not care? What about insurance companies?

[The insurance company said it was a natural disaster and would not pay! ]

[Bullshit, it's clearly a man-made disaster. Didn't the Wanshuiyuan Group already admit that it was their fault? Is there no way to claim compensation?]

[It seems that they are saying that there was a problem underground in that town, and their actions only accelerated the progress of the sinkhole, so they cannot be 100% responsible. I don’t understand the details, but anyway, they are not afraid of lawsuits.

I'm afraid it's very difficult to protect your rights! ! ! ]

……

Most of the related news and discussions on the local network were concentrated in the past few days, or to be exact, half a month ago. There have been no comments or attention recently.

"Wait, there's definitely something wrong with this.

The ground subsidence occurred on the same day the original body was brought back to the Zhang family. To be more precise, it was six hours after she completed the genetic test. Such a coincidence is impossible. This must be an attempt to cover up something."

You can’t blame Ding Shui for the conspiracy theory.

This is really too coincidental, it doesn't seem like a coincidence at all, but it seems to be deliberate, to cover up the evidence:

"According to comments, many people in the town were reluctant to move and even wanted to wait and see. It was the Wanshuiyuan Group that mobilized thousands of employees for an emergency evacuation, promising an explanation and compensation after the incident. Only then was everyone safely evacuated, and no one was killed.

This doesn't quite fit with the public's evaluation of his family.

Moreover, they later turned against him and refused to give compensation, which also proved that his family was not so kind.

So the reason they do this...

Wait, this couldn't be his own doing, right? He was afraid the deaths would draw attention from higher-ups, so he evacuated the town at all costs."

Of course, these are just speculations and there is no evidence, so Ding Shui quickly contacted his acquaintances and friends to inquire about the situation and ask where they live.

She still has many questions to ask her neighbors.

In addition, the town government database should have a backup, right?

Ding Shui quickly contacted her neighbor, Aunt Zhao, and they started a video call. When Aunt Zhao saw her, she slapped her thigh with regret and said, "Xiaoshan, I'm so sorry. I was busy packing my own things at the time, and I didn't have the key to your house, so I couldn't help move your things. So everything in your house must be in that pit now.

I’m afraid there’s no chance of it ever seeing the light of day again.”

"It's okay, it's not important. Where do you live now? I have something I want to ask you. Didn't something happen to my parents? But I couldn't get their bodies back. They said I wasn't their biological child and the genetic test didn't match. I remember you were my neighbor since I was a child, so you should know something about the situation.

If you know anything, you must tell me. Really, if I don't have enough evidence to prove my relationship with my parents, I can't even get my parents' bodies back."

"Where are you? Let's meet and talk!"

Ding Shui stated his purpose in a very concise manner, and then wanted to meet in person to discuss the matter in detail.

"Well, that's fine too.

I'm currently living in the neighboring Zishui Town, near Wang's Hotel. When you get here, just come to room 301 and knock on the door.

Your uncle and I both live in Building 301."

Aunt Zhao was a little embarrassed at first, but she soon thought it over and sighed in relief, then reported her address. The person was dead, so there was no point in hiding it any longer.

And Xiaoshan also said that if she didn't find out the truth, she might not even be able to get her parents' bodies back. Not many people knew about this matter already. If she didn't tell anyone, where would Xiaoshan be able to find out? After she finished speaking, Ding Shui hung up the phone, and Aunt Zhao herself fell into memories.

As for the fact that Ding Shui was a member of the Zhang family and had inherited over 30 billion mu of farmland, Aunt Zhao and the others were unaware of it. Firstly, the incident wasn't particularly drastic and didn't trend on the internet; only a few relevant personnel knew about it. Secondly, many people in smaller communities, with modest means and no special needs, only had access to intra-planetary internet services, not empire-wide ones. Therefore, they could only access the intra-planetary network and had no way of connecting to networks on other planets.

The charging standards for the two are also different.

The latter is more than ten times more expensive.

The original body also received a gift from her great-grandfather, which was the bank card, after she returned to her ancestral home.

It took a few days to launch this service.

Therefore, no matter how big the news is, it will take several hours for it to reach them. If it is not particularly sensational news, it may not even reach them at all.

In addition, the Zhang family may have blocked the news, so it is normal for them to be unaware of this.

After receiving information about Aunt Zhao's residence, Ding Shui quickly took a taxi to the next town. Meanwhile, other friends and acquaintances she had contacted earlier also began to reply to her messages. Through conversation, she discovered that some of them had other homes elsewhere or relatives nearby, so they were better off for the time being, at least without having to pay rent. Most of the others were staying in hotels or private homes in nearby towns.

They are currently preparing a joint lawsuit against a common enemy.

I just feel unsure and afraid that the money spent on the lawsuit will be wasted. No conclusion has been reached yet and people are divided.

Someone also asked Ding Shui if he wanted to get involved.

After all, she lost her house.

Ding Shui agreed decisively to this and was immediately pulled into the rights protection group. While chatting about the matter in the group, he also inquired about the information he wanted.

Ten minutes later, Ding Shui arrived at her destination smoothly. She found the room Aunt Zhao mentioned and knocked on the door. Aunt Zhao then opened the door and welcomed her in. After a few pleasantries, Aunt Zhao finally talked about what Ding Shui was really interested in:
"We're not exactly sure about this, but just listen. We've been neighbors with your parents for thirty years, even before you were born. They seemed to have infertility issues back then, though we're not sure whose fault it was. We also tried to persuade them to use their genes to create an artificial embryo, as it's not out of their reach given their income."

But they were unwilling to do so and insisted that even if they didn't want to have a child, they didn't want one that went against nature.

Alas, I really don’t understand.

The technology of artificial embryo synthesis has been around for almost three hundred years, and there has been no news of any problems so far. If there were any problems, they would be problems in the synthesis process, not problems after the synthesis was successful. Anyway, the couple did not agree to do this, so they have never had children.

Until twenty-three years ago.

That year they went out for a month, and when they came back they brought you back, saying that you were the child of a distant relative of theirs, and that their parents had died and there was no one to take care of you, so they entrusted you to them. They also asked the neighbors nearby not to tell anyone, and they always told others that you were their biological daughter.

You probably didn't know about this at all. We never told anyone about it. We kept it a secret. If it hadn't happened, I would have kept it a secret my whole life."

"Aunt Zhao, do you know if my parents have obtained an adoption certificate for me?" Ding Shui continued to ask.

“Adoption certificate?
I don't think I've heard of it, but I'm not sure. You can check it out later, and you should be able to find it."

Aunt Zhao was obviously unaware of this.

But her husband, Uncle Zhao, said with certainty:

"No, definitely not. You forgot, we've seen his family's household registration book, and Xiaoshan's identity in the household registration book is their biological daughter. If they have an adoption certificate, it will be marked on it, usually marked as adopted daughter. However, if they insist on not being marked as adopted daughter, they can just mark her as daughter, but there will be a small underline to distinguish her.

At the same time, the database will record it clearly.

If she is supposed to be an adopted daughter, she will be an adopted daughter.

There are no problems with his family's household registration, and there are no underscores, so the couple must have somehow managed to register her as their biological daughter."

"Alas, I had good intentions at the time, not wanting Xiaoshan to find out, but now it's become a problem. It's even inconvenient for me to collect their bodies."

“Are there still these differences?”

Aunt Zhao probably has never understood these things, so she really doesn't know much about it and is still a little confused at this moment.

Then, Ding Shui chatted with them for a while, and Aunt Zhao even recalled the past. Finally, Uncle Zhao also gave Ding Shui some advice, telling her where the temporary office of the Tai'an Town Government was. She said that going there might help her learn more information and get some certificates. "Xiaoshan, you have to hurry up.

I heard that because Tai'an Town has completely disappeared, the higher authorities may cancel this office, and even the Tai'an Town Government will be cancelled. It will be difficult to get a certificate then, so you need to hurry and get it done."

"Really? Then I won't bother you anymore."

"I'll come to see you guys later when I have time."

No matter what, getting back the bodies of the original adoptive parents is an extremely important matter. Ding Shui, who didn't want to waste any more time, quickly got up and said goodbye and left, going to the temporary office pointed out by Uncle Zhao to consult on related issues.

After that, there is a series of operations to follow.

Despite the tedious process, Ding Shui finally managed to obtain the necessary documentation and discovered even more strange things about her adoptive parents. For example, the town government's database contained no records of them from thirty years ago. While such detailed records might be inappropriate, they would at least have information about their place of origin, and this, too, was completely blank.

For example, a neighbor said that the original adoptive parents from thirty years ago were often on business trips and were away from home all year round. Sometimes the couple would only come back for less than a month a year.

Until I had a daughter like my original self.

They may have just started a new job and rarely go out, sometimes not traveling far for several years.

Combining these information, although there is currently no way to analyze the specific identities of the original body's adoptive parents, and what happened between them, it is at least certain that this matter, including the situation of the original body's adoptive parents, their true identities, etc., must be related to the Zhang family.

However, in order to retrieve the bodies of his adoptive parents as soon as possible, Ding Shui could only suppress his doubts temporarily and continue to go to the local medical institution to retrieve the medical records of his adoptive parents and inquire whether there were their genetic sequences.

The result was also disappointing.

They have no medical records, let alone genetic sequences, and not even blood samples. This shows that their identities are indeed very questionable.

Finally, exhausted both physically and mentally, Ding Shui found a hotel to stay in, then called the private number Zhao Ya had left for her. She told her in detail the series of evidence she had collected and the situations she could share with her, and asked for her opinion.

“Your situation is quite troublesome.

To be frank, the information you've provided so far doesn't prove that the two bodies are your adoptive parents'. So, I'll give you a few more pieces of evidence. If you can get them, I can try to help you apply, but I can't guarantee success. You can only provide circumstantial evidence, not direct, relevant evidence.

Originally, based on a series of evidence such as boarding records and surveillance, the identities of your adoptive parents are beyond doubt.

If you do this now, I guess the insurance company will definitely make a fuss about it. Anyway, you are not short of money now. I have a suggestion. You can listen to it. If you are not satisfied, just ignore what I said.

With the evidence you've provided, if you insist on making a claim, the insurance company will definitely interfere. After all, the compensation is quite high, and they're willing to pay as little as possible. If you can reach a tacit understanding with the insurance company and ask for less or no compensation at all, no insurance company will interfere.

The overall process will go more smoothly.”

Zhao Yazhen was not speaking for the insurance company after receiving money from it. The families of the other victims had confirmed each other's identities through genetic testing, and all the evidence was complete. It was natural for them to claim compensation, and even the insurance company had no way to struggle.

At most, we can try to take less responsibility and pay less compensation.

But Ding Shui's situation is really troublesome. According to her parents' household registration, she is their biological daughter, but now her genetic test results do not match the two charred corpses. It is too easy for the insurance company to make a fuss about this, such as denying that the two charred corpses are Ding Shui's parents, or suspecting that Ding Shui's parents are faking their death to defraud insurance.

Even if there is insufficient evidence on both sides.

That was enough to bring the matter to a stalemate.

"Oh, okay then. I wonder if you know anyone at the insurance company who could help me mediate?"

Ding Shui thought about it and decided that the most important thing was to get the bodies of her adoptive parents back as soon as possible. She could forget about other details and compensation. She estimated that each person would have to pay a maximum of tens of millions, which would be less than 100 million in total. She didn't need that, so there was no need to cause trouble for herself.

If you are really unwilling or unhappy, the worst that can happen is that you can wait until you get the body back and then file a lawsuit.

However, Zhao Ya was very dissatisfied after hearing this:
"What do you mean? Do you think I'm colluding with the insurance company to speak for them? Besides, I'm not speaking for them, I'm speaking for..."

"Oh, sorry, sorry, Sister Zhao, that's not what I meant. I just thought you guys should deal with insurance companies often, so at least you'd know who to contact about this. I really don't know anything about this!"

"I'm really sorry..."

Ding Shui also realized that what he had just said was inappropriate, and quickly slid down to his knees to apologize and ask for forgiveness.
