I'm only five years old, how come I've become the military region's darling?

In the alley, Su Mei was running with Fu Chen, but after turning a corner, Su Mei could no longer see Fu Chen.

Her arm hurt a lot, but she couldn't muster any strength in her body; she felt weak and powerless.

"there!"

She heard hurried footsteps behind her, and Su Mei's breathing became labored.

She ran with all her might, but her mind was completely blank, like a rusty machine, and her legs wouldn't obey her commands.

"Fu Chen".

Su Mei was so anxious that tears streamed down her face, but only the whistling wind blew through the alley, and no one responded to her. Her whole body trembled uncontrollably.

"Brother Zhang, there are people over here!"

Su Mei turned around in terror to see several police officers rushing towards her. She instinctively tried to run, but before she could even extend her foot, she heard a police officer's deep, stern shout, "Police, don't move!"

Xiao Zhang immediately stepped forward and pinned Su Mei against the wall. Su Mei instinctively struggled, but Xiao Zhang forcefully slammed her down. "Run! Try to run again!"

Su Mei's face turned pale, and her lips trembled as she tried to say something, but the others caught up from behind, a dark mass of people staring intently at her.

She felt like the sky was about to fall.

"Why, why are you arresting me?"

"What are you doing? We'll talk about it when we get back. Take him away."

Su Mei was taken away by hand without even a chance to explain.

At this moment, several neighbors appeared at the entrance of the quiet courtyard, peering out.

"Are they police?"

"Good heavens, finally someone can deal with these abortion bastards."

"Bah! That's outrageous!"

Meanwhile, Ruan Xiaochun in the courtyard felt a chill run through her body. Despite it being the middle of summer, cold sweat was pouring down her face.

The system's voice was still echoing in my mind.

[Ding~ Observing the destruction of evidence, beginner-level forgery skill proficiency +20]

To destroy the evidence, Ruan Xiaochun swallowed hard. She wiped her face with her small hand and looked around. Where was the body?

She wandered around like a puppy, when suddenly her limbs were dangling in the air. Turning around, she found that Xing Yong had returned at some point. She struggled slightly, like a puppy paddling in the water, and said, "Captain Xing, put Xiaochun down."

Xing Yong looked at the little guy's wet eyes and said, "This is the scene; you can't wander around."

Xiao Chun nervously gripped Xing Yong's arm, her whole body seemingly hanging on a weight.

"Captain Xing, there's a really awful smell here, it smells like a dead yellow dog."

Xing Yong initially thought the child was sensitive, but when he heard her mention the dead yellow dog, he suddenly became very perceptive.

He took a deep sniff; the air was filled with the scents of flowers and coal, but upon closer inspection, there was also a faint, almost imperceptible, smell of blood and stench.

That faint scent is almost undetectable if you're not paying attention.

This smell.....

Xing Yong squinted and looked around. It seemed to be coming from the room behind.

He walked quickly toward the house.

The door creaked open, and the stench of blood became even more pronounced.

Xiaochun vomited twice from the stench.

"Wait for me outside."

Xing Yong walked into the dark room, where dim light shone through the oil paper.

The room was very messy, with tools scattered everywhere.

Two large vats were placed against the corner of the wall.

Xing Yong walked step by step toward the water vat, and the smell became more and more obvious, almost to the point that it could not be masked.

He covered the handle with a handkerchief, opened the lid, and immediately a strong stench, like that of a dry toilet, assaulted his senses.

"Ugh—" Ruan Xiaochun, who was standing at the door, vomited. Niu Qiaobao, who had brought him back, brought him in, tears streaming down his face. "Captain Xing, what's that smell?"

Xing Yong's pupils contracted sharply as he looked at the situation inside the tank before closing the lid.

His voice was cold and trembling slightly. "Niu Qiaobao called Zhang Ning and told her to come over."

Zhang Ning?

Niu Qiaobao's expression instantly turned serious. There was only one possibility that would bring a forensic doctor to a place: someone was dead.

He patted Xiao Zhang on the shoulder and said, "You tell Captain Xing what's going on, I'll go make a call."

"Squad leader, we haven't found Aunt Mei, nor have we found Commander Jiang's daughter, but we have captured a woman."

Xing Yong stared at the woman being escorted in from outside the door, Su Mei?

Su Mei was terrified. "Captain Xing, why are your men arresting me? What law have I broken?"

Xing Yong, not bothering to observe Su Mei's reaction, walked straight up to her and asked, "Where did the people inside go?"

"Captain Xing, I don't understand what you're saying. I was just looking to rent a place nearby, and your men arrested me. I'm really upset about it!"

Su Mei questioned Xing Yong with conviction.

Xing Yong's gaze was like a knife scraping against Su Mei. "Su Mei, you know in your heart whether this has anything to do with you or not. This isn't just your business. The people in this compound abducted Commander Jiang's daughter, and they caught her later. If you don't speak up, you're an accomplice!"

Su Mei's face turned pale, but she still didn't say anything.

Once she speaks up, her secrets will be exposed.

Xing Yong sneered, "This isn't just child trafficking anymore, it's murder. Su Mei, are you trying to become an accomplice?"

"What?"

Su Mei's face turned pale instantly, and she became even weaker with fright.

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

"Nonsense? You'll find out whether it's nonsense or not when the forensic doctor arrives."

Niu Qiaobao scoffed, "You really think we don't know what you're here for?"

Su Mei panicked. She looked at the police officers opposite her, and every one of them had a mocking look in their eyes.

When Su Mei saw Xiao Chun standing there, she felt as if she had been stripped naked for a moment, her throat went dry, "I, I just came to look for a house."

The voice trailed off into the earth at the very end.

Ruan Xiaochun smacked her lips and said something surprising, "Was that pair of underwear in there yours?"

Su Mei instinctively squeezed her legs together. She had been so focused on running away that she had completely forgotten that she had forgotten to wear underwear.

Now that Xiaochun has lifted her up, she suddenly realizes that her lower body feels empty, as if something is missing.

It’s over.

She was feeling dizzy just now, and Fu Chen only told her to wear pants; she had completely forgotten about underwear.

Several police officers suppressed their laughter, while Su Mei's face turned bright red, and she couldn't utter a single word in response.

I don't know how to reply.

She felt even more resentful and annoyed by Ruan Xiaochun's disrespectful behavior.

"Where's your dad? He's always running wild and doing no good."

Seeing Su Mei acting crazy and attacking her father again, Xiao Chun's face turned cold. "My dad naturally has things to do. Besides, Xiao Chun isn't wild; Xiao Chun is here to catch a cheating woman!"

Scratching shoes?

The onlookers outside the gate gasped in surprise, "My God, is that woman the child's mother?"

"Tsk tsk, she's already a mother and still comes to places like this. She must have gotten pregnant by some random guy."

"You can know a person's face but not their heart. This woman looks gentle and weak, but she's a sly fox."

"I've seen children looking for their mothers, but I've never seen a child catching someone cheating. This is truly an eye-opener."

"What do you mean, 'cheating'? Ruan Xiaochun, what nonsense are you spouting!" Su Mei jumped up as if she had been stepped on.

Xiaochun replied casually, "Whether it is or not, we'll know once they catch him."
