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

Xing Yong looked up at the honest-looking boss, who was now trembling, his legs shaking like leaves, and his face pale.

"Don't move, just behave."

Soon, Zhang Ning brought Xiao Dong in. "I just received a call from Xiao Niu saying that Sun Cuihua isn't in the village."

As he spoke, he walked towards the small pit.

There were actually no human heads inside, but there were visible chunks of flesh and white insects in the soil, making the pungent smell even more overpowering.

Zhang Ning used a holder and tweezers to pick it up and examine it. "It's human tissue. Judging from the maggots, the thing buried inside must have been removed no more than an hour ago."

Xing Yong stared at his boss, whose face had turned ashen. "Where's the stuff?"

The boss gritted his teeth. "Captain Xing, I don't know what you're talking about."

"Where did Sun Cuihua go with the severed head?"

"I don't know." The tall man turned his head away and remained silent.

Xing Yong's gaze was extremely imposing. He and the boss knew each other. The boss was straightforward and generous in business and had a friendly personality. But at this moment, the boss seemed like a stubborn mule and wouldn't budge no matter what.

At this moment, Xing Yong was somewhat angry; protecting a criminal was foolish.

"Do you know that Sun Cuihua is committing murder? If you help her, you are also committing a crime."

Zhang Hai murmured a few words, then looked at Xing Yong's slumped shoulders and said, "Captain Xing, just arrest me."

Xing Yong sighed, "Take the person back."

Qian Cuihua disappeared with a severed head.

Qin Yuezheng quickly gathered Sun Cuihua's information. "Sun Cuihua was a villager from Huai Shu Village. She had a daughter after marrying her husband. After her husband passed away in 1958, she raised her five-year-old daughter alone. In 1972, her daughter married Fang Xu, an educated youth who had been sent to the countryside. After the college entrance examination in 1976, Fang Xu returned to the city. Later, Zhang Rongrong came to the city to look for him and found that Fang Xu had married. Two months after returning to her hometown, Zhang Rongrong committed suicide by jumping into the river."

"Fang Xu, I think everyone knows this person." Qin Yuezheng pointed to another name on the blackboard. "Fang Xu is Qin Dahai's brother-in-law. Back then, Fang Xu didn't actually pass the college entrance examination. He lied to Zhang Rongrong that he had passed and used the excuse of returning to the city to marry into the Qin family and become Qin Dahai's brother-in-law, thus successfully staying in the city."

"What was the meaning behind Sun Cuihua killing Qin Dahai?"

Xing Yong and the others instinctively wanted to smoke, but seeing Xiao Chun sitting to the side instead drinking water, they said, "Someone has already gone to bring Fang Xu back."

Only Fang Xu probably knows exactly what happened.

Just then, Xiao Chen rushed in from outside. "Captain Xing, Fang Xu has gone missing. Our men went to look for him just now, and his colleagues at the factory said he seemed to have received a phone call and then left in a hurry."

"I heard it was an old lady. Also, when we went to the Qin family to arrest them, they resisted fiercely and cursed the police for being useless, saying they couldn't find the person who killed their son."

Xing Yong frowned, "Let's go to his house and take a look."

Several police officers and some onlookers stood at the entrance of the Qin family's courtyard.

"Officer, the Qin family is very agitated right now, and they have kitchen knives in their hands, so be careful."

Xing Yong stared at the haggard-looking man and two women in the courtyard, his face grim and ruthless.

"Fang Xu has gone missing, aren't you worried?"

The elderly couple in the courtyard turned their gloomy gazes toward them. "They're not dead, so what if they're gone?"

It seems that Fang Xu doesn't have much status in this family.

The young woman who had been standing nearby approached. "Officer, my brother has passed away, and my parents are grieving. What do you want?"

Xing Yong looked at the woman in front of him and said, "Your husband has disappeared, don't you care?"

"He must be angry that my parents scolded him and he's hiding. Officer, he'll be back on his own in a few days."

The woman was somewhat agitated. "If you have time, why don't you go find the murderer who killed my brother? Why do you keep bothering that good-for-nothing!"

What kind of wife talks about her husband like that?

Xing Yong's lips curled down, and his narrow eyes narrowed slightly. "We already know who the murderer is."

"Who? Who killed my brother?"

The woman gripped Xing Yong tightly with her agitated hands, while the elderly couple on the other side glared so hard their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"The murderer kidnapped Fang Xu. If you don't cooperate with us, then the police can't do anything about it."

The Qin family was stunned. Qin Dahai's mother rushed out, "We'll cooperate, we'll cooperate."

Xing Yong looked at the group of people opposite him. "Do you know Zhang Rongrong?"

Qin Lianxiang's expression froze, and after a long pause, she managed to utter, "I know her. She's Fang Xu's woman in the countryside."

What happened when Zhang Rongrong came to see Fang Xu in 1976?

"What could have happened? She was crying and making a scene, saying Fang Xu had lied to her, but she and Fang Xu didn't have a marriage certificate, so it wasn't a legal marriage. We just sent her away, officer. Don't say we're heartless; we could have given her a hundred yuan. What? Officer, is my brother's death related to Zhang Rongrong? That shouldn't be the case; wasn't she already dead?"

Xiao Chun stood to the side the whole time, and when she saw Qin Lianxiang, the system notification sounded in her mind.

[Ding~ Observing a disguised murderer, Intermediate Disguise Master skill proficiency +20.]

Is Qin Lianxiang a murderer?

She stood silently to the side while Captain Xing questioned her, but she had just learned who Qin Lianxiang had killed.

Xiaochun stepped forward and stood in front of Qin Lianxiang. "You don't like Fang Xu?"

The woman looked down at Xiaochun, her face showing some impatience. "What's it to you?"

"It has nothing to do with Xiaochun, but why did you look so jealous when Fang Xu mentioned Zhang Rongrong?"

"What nonsense are you spouting, you brat?"

"Who are you calling, you brat?"

"You brat..." Qin Lianxiang slapped him angrily, but Xing Yong, his face dark, grabbed her arm and shoved her back. "You assaulted a police officer?"

Qin Lianxiang plopped down on the ground and started crying and screaming, "The police are beating people! Look, the police are beating people!"

Xiao Chun looked at Qin Lianxiang on the ground with a cold smile, "You don't like Fang Xu, but you're jealous of Zhang Rongrong, so why? Xiao Chun guesses... you like Qin Dahai."

Qin Lianxiang's face turned deathly pale instantly. She jumped up, ready to hit someone, shouting, "You're talking nonsense! I didn't!"

This is like admitting guilt without being asked.

Just then, a woman's voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.

"You have."
