Du Xuelian stared blankly at Dong Wenbiao: "Brother Wen, you... how did you get here?"

The young policeman came in, one hand covering his nose and the other carrying a bag.

"Master, the murder weapon has been found!"

Du Xuelian's vision went black, and she almost couldn't stand up.

Du Xuelin's lips trembled, and his gaze slowly shifted from Dong Wenbiao to Du Xuelian.

"Sister, is it really...really because of you that my wife and child are like this?"

"No, I didn't!" Du Xuelian cried out in a panic, "I didn't do anything! Their deaths have nothing to do with me. It's your wife! Your wife was immoral! She seduced some other man and got killed!"

Ling Jiuyue sneered, "You're really stubborn. The evidence is irrefutable, and you still want to deny it!"

Du Xuelian screamed, "I didn't! You must be one of that young master's accomplices trying to frame me!"

Du Xuelin looked at his sister and pleaded with Old Song, "Officer Song, it couldn't have been my sister who killed him. We siblings have always had a very good relationship. She loves my son like her own son. She would never harm my wife and child!"

Seeing that he was stubborn and unrepentant, Ling Jiuyue also got a little angry.

"You two really have a deep sibling bond! Brother Song, could you find me a quiet room?"

Old Song didn't know what she was going to do, so he pointed to the interrogation room next door to ensure it would be quiet and undisturbed.

Ling Jiuyue grabbed Du Xuelin by the collar, shoved him into the interrogation room, bit her fingertip, and placed the blood on Du Xuelin's forehead.

"You don't believe me, you want to see your son, right? Open your eyes, your son and daughter-in-law are right in front of you!"

The moment Du Xuelin opened his eyes, he was so frightened that he took two steps back and collapsed to the ground.

His wife stared at him with empty, black eye sockets, her left hand holding her right arm, a hole in her chest from which blood dripped and quickly gathered into a small stream at her feet.

Her voice was hoarse: "Du Xuelin, is your sister very good to me?"

The son tilted his head, drooping it on his shoulder: "Dad, does Auntie like us a lot?"

The daughter hugged the ceramic rabbit with half an ear missing, and stretched out her bloodied little hand.

"Dad, you said Auntie likes us, so how about you let her come and stay with us?"

Du Xuelin was terrified, too scared to open his eyes: "No... your aunt wouldn't... sob... how could this happen!"

The little boy started crying: "Daddy, please come and stay with me! My aunt chopped at my neck, it hurts so much! My head is going to fall off, what should I do?"

The wife, filled with resentment, cried out, "Du Xuelin, you know perfectly well that your mother and sister don't like me, yet you force me to live with them. You're deliberately trying to drive my son and me to our deaths! I won't reincarnate; I'll haunt you! I'll make sure your Du family never has a moment's peace!"

"No, don't come any closer..."

Hearing the terrified screams coming from inside the interrogation room, the young policeman moved closer to Old Song.

"Master, is he...is he really...really alright?"

That Comrade Xiao Ling looked very strange. He took Du Xuelin into the room alone. The junior policeman felt that this was probably not a good thing.

Old Song, hands behind his back, looked into the interrogation room: "Take Du Xuelian and Dong Wenbiao aside for separate interrogation!"

When Du Xuelin came out, there was water stain on his crotch.

The young policeman sniffed the air and whispered to Ling Jiuyue, "Sister Ling, he... he didn't pee, did he?"

Ling Jiuyue snorted coldly. She hated men who thought they were innocent and pretended not to see it, forcing their wives to tolerate it again and again.

Old Song didn't give Du Xuelin a chance to catch his breath and took him into the interrogation room next door.

Why did you target your younger brother and sister-in-law?

Even with her strong will, Du Xuelian couldn't hold on any longer.

"I didn't want to kill her, I just wanted some money to go to another province with Brother Wen to do business. I told her it was a loan, and I'd pay her back when I made money, but she wouldn't listen. She said I'd never paid her back the money I borrowed, that I ate and drank at her house, that I..."

When did I ever eat her food? I ate the food my mom and brother earned. What does it have to do with her? And she said that Brother Wen touched her inappropriately. Brother Wen loves me so much, how could he possibly be interested in a shameless slut like her!

She said I could say anything, but not about Brother Wen. She said if I got angry, I'd grab a knife…”

Du Xuelin could no longer bear it and squatted down, weeping bitterly.

"Why? Ever since your divorce, you've been taking your three kids back to your parents' house to eat and drink for five whole years. No matter what my wife says, I always speak up for you. I say you're my own sister, my only sister, and I'm your only brother. If I don't help you, who will?"

"I've been so good to you, why... why did you lay a hand on them? They're your... your own nephews!"

He could understand it if he only targeted his wife.

But why would the older sister even harm the children? The two children are not even ten years old. How could she be so heartless?

Du Xuelian burst into tears: "I didn't want to do it either, but she wouldn't lend me money and even tried to seduce my Wen-ge!"

The female police officer interrogating her, unable to bear it any longer, interrupted her: "Do you know that your brother Wen is a wanted criminal? He asked you to kill someone not because your sister-in-law refused to lend him money to seduce him, but because he found a newspaper with his wanted poster in your sister-in-law's room. Knowing that your sister-in-law recognized him, he decided to kill her to silence her!"

Dong Wenbiao was not a good person at all. He was a fugitive who committed crimes on the run and had many lives on his hands. After fleeing to Yun City, he pretended to be a merchant from the south and fooled Du Xuelian.

Du Xuelin completely broke down: "You killed my wife and children for a murderer, and with... with such cruel methods, are you... are you even human?"

He recalled the scene he had just witnessed; before his wife and children died, he wondered how much torment they had endured.

Du Xuelian!

That was a child she had watched grow up, a child who shared her bloodline. How...how could she do that?!

The young policeman felt a pang of pity. This man had lost his wife and children; he feared he would never escape the shadow of this tragedy for the rest of his life.

Ling Jiuyue showed him no pity whatsoever: "Your sister moved into your house with her child, and your mother and you showed her unprincipled favoritism. You should have understood that trouble was bound to happen sooner or later, but you insisted on living with your eyes and ears closed. Today's disaster is all your own doing!"

Du Xuelin collapsed to the ground, weeping bitterly and slapping his own face repeatedly.

She's right, it's all his fault.

It was all his fault. He listened to his mother too much, indulged his sister's ambition, and caused the death of his wife and children.

Ling Jiuyue and Qin Shixiao came out of the police station. Du Da Niang sat at the gate and cried bitterly, saying that her daughter was innocent. When she saw her son walking out blankly, she hurriedly got up.

"Son, go find someone, even if you have to take it to the central government, you have to get justice for your sister!"

Du Xuelin stared at his mother with bloodshot eyes: "Mom, my sister and Dong Wenbiao killed my wife and child. Actually... you knew that, didn't you?"
