Chapter 296 I'll handle it
"Ah Jie, who is it? Answer the phone quickly!" Carina Lau urged from the side.
Ma Junjie snapped out of his daze, quickly pressed the answer button, and put the phone to his ear.
"Officer Wang, hello..."
Upon hearing this, Carina Lau immediately perked up her ears and listened attentively.
It was indeed Officer Wang calling.
That's the policeman who handled the case at the scene of the car accident.
Ma Junjie had a brief conversation with him, and then they exchanged phone numbers.
I didn't expect Officer Wang to call so quickly.
"Mr. Ma, right? Where have you been?"
Ma Junjie was taken aback, and answered frankly.
"Officer Wang, I see there's nothing more for me to do at the scene, so I'll leave now."
"The deceased was my sister-in-law's relative; she can handle the situation at the scene..."
Before he could finish speaking, Officer Wang interrupted him,
"Mr. Ma, that Ms. Liu, your sister-in-law, she has already left."
"What?! Gone?!" Ma Junjie exclaimed in shock.
"That was her nephew, and she just left without a care?"
"Yes!" Officer Wang on the other end confirmed again.
"We were still surveying the area when we turned around and found that she had quietly slipped away."
"According to onlookers, she said that she didn't care about the deceased and that the matter had nothing to do with her."
"Damn it!" Ma Junjie couldn't help but curse out loud.
After finishing his rant, remembering that the person opposite him was a police officer, he quickly tried to explain.
"Officer Wang, I'm sorry, I insulted my sister-in-law. She's a terrible person!"
"I've played the previous recording for you, so you should know what's going on. She can't leave, she..."
"Alright!" Officer Wang interrupted Ma Junjie again.
"Mr. Ma, things have come to this point, and I can't contact your sister-in-law anymore. Her body is lying on the street; this is definitely not acceptable."
"I think it would be best if you came and handled it..."
"I...!" Ma Junjie almost cursed.
Suddenly he felt someone tug at him.
Ma Junjie turned his head and saw Carina Lau staring at him.
She said,
"Ah Jie, give me your phone."
Ma Junjie was somewhat puzzled.
"Sister Liu, please don't..."
Carina Lau said again,
"Ah Jie, give it to me!"
Helpless, Ma Junjie handed over the phone.
Carina Lau took the phone and spoke into the receiver.
"Officer Liu, this is Liu Jialing from Xingda Toy Factory. Could you please help me contact the funeral home and get the deceased there?"
"Respect for the deceased is paramount. We will cremate him promptly and perform a proper rite of passage."
"I'll handle what happens next."
When Officer Wang heard that the person on the other end was Liu Jialing from Xingda Toy Factory, he immediately understood.
And he even offered to handle this mess.
Officer Wang was naturally very happy to agree.
He laughed.
"Manager Liu's kindness is truly commendable and admirable."
"No problem, do as you say, Manager Liu. I'll contact the funeral home right away and get the deceased there."
"Thank you, Officer Wang!" Carina Lau said.
After they finished speaking, the two hung up the phone.
Carina Lau returned the phone to Ma Junjie.
Ma Junjie opened his mouth, about to say something,
Carina Lau spoke first,
"Ah Jie, I know what you want to say..."
"However, respect for the dead is paramount. It would be truly pitiful if they just lay there unattended."
"Don't worry, you don't need to handle the rest. I'll send someone over to cremate him."
Ma Junjie listened, but couldn't find a way to refute it.
He was clutching a wad of banknotes in his hand.
After thinking about it,
Or rather,
"Sister Liu, I won't trouble you."
"I'll handle Tang Feng's matter myself."
Carina Lau was unaware of any misunderstanding in between.
However, she was still very pleased to hear Ma Junjie say that.
He laughed.
"Ah Jie, that works too."
"I know you have a kind heart and won't really abandon him."
Ma Junjie sat up straight and remained silent.
Carina Lau smiled, turned the car around,
"Okay, Ah Jie, I'll take you to the funeral home now."
"By the way, does Bingbing know about this?"
Ma Junjie shook his head.
"Sister Liu, she doesn't know."
"It's best not to let her know."
Carina Lau replied,
"That's fine too. Bingbing is a very sentimental person. She'll definitely be sad for a long time knowing that such a young child has died."
Ma Junjie hummed in agreement, and Liu Bingbing's face appeared in his mind again.
Liu Bingbing was already extremely upset when I took her and Liu Dongmei out to dinner last time.
Not only were they shocked by Liu Dongmei's words and actions,
Tang Die also stole her handbag.
Come to think of it, it's been more than a day since the two of them last contacted each other.
I wonder what Liu Bingbing is doing now.
Lost in thought, Carina Lau suddenly said,
"Ah Jie, we've arrived at the funeral home."
"Ah, so fast?" Ma Junjie looked up and gazed out the window.
A gray and white building outside the window.
In front of the building, two rows of ancient cypress trees stand tall.
Above the building is a huge chimney.
Black smoke was billowing from the chimney.
When Ma Junjie realized where the black smoke came from, he couldn't help but cover his nose.
"Sister Liu, you go first. I'll take a taxi home later."
As Ma Junjie spoke, he prepared to push open the door and leave.
Carina Lau responded from behind.
"Okay, Ah Jie, I have something to do, so I'll be going now."
"Bingbing is home alone. You can go see her tonight."
Without thinking, Ma Junjie casually replied.
"Okay, Sister Liu, goodbye!"
Ma Junjie got out of the car and watched Liu Jialing turn the car around and leave.
Once the car had completely disappeared, Ma Junjie covered his nose and walked towards the funeral home.
Upon arriving at the funeral home, Tang Feng's body was prominently displayed in the main hall.
Ma Junjie glanced at it, and his heart skipped a beat.
Living life has now become still.
Pale, cold, eyes tightly closed…
People,
It's probably only after making a mistake and learning a lesson that one realizes how much they regret it.
However, some mistakes, even if you regret them, you can never do them again!
"Sigh!" Ma Junjie walked over slowly, his heart heavy.
"Are you a relative of the deceased?" Suddenly, a staff member rushed out from a small cubicle and asked.
Ma Junjie was startled and looked at the staff member wearing a mask.
He paused for a moment, then nodded.
"Yes and no."
"He's left without anyone to care for him, so I'll help with the funeral arrangements."
The staff member looked Ma Junjie up and down.
Thinking it best to avoid trouble, they stopped questioning and investigating.
With a "thud," a notebook was tossed onto Tang Feng's corpse.
"Go sign this!"
"Confirm the cremation, then quickly pay the fees and wait to collect the ashes."
Ma Junjie's hands were shaking slightly.
He took out the notebook, glanced at it, and signed it.
The staff member snatched the notebook away and waved it away impatiently.
"Go ahead, go to the door to pay."
"Pay first, then come back."
Ma Junjie turned and walked out. At the window, he saw a middle-aged woman sleeping face down.
Ma Junjie knocked on the security bars, and the middle-aged woman woke up, looked up, and glanced at Ma Junjie.
"What do you do?"
Ma Junjie replied, "Come and cremate the body."
"Just delivered?"
"Yes!"
The middle-aged woman tore a sheet from the table, picked up a pen, and started scribbling and drawing.
Finally, he said...
"That'll be 2560 yuan in total!"
