Prank wedding pranks? Little fortune teller remarries military officer in a sweet romance.

The old woman rushed over, picked up the rusty ring from the ground, and trembled violently.

"This is...this is my Fangfang's!"

Old Lin was stunned: "Fangfang is your family's..."

"My daughter!" The old woman clutched the ring to her heart and wept uncontrollably.

"Eighteen years ago, she joined a group to go to Northeast China to support the revolutionary cause, learn steelmaking techniques there, and return to better build her hometown and serve her country. She left, and eighteen years have passed without a trace. I thought... I thought..."

She thought her daughter was too young to understand and had run off to the Northeast to get married and settle down, never to return. She kept scolding her daughter for being ungrateful and not even writing to let her family know she was safe. Little did she know...

Old Lin looked at Ling Jiuyue.

Ling Jiuyue stood at the edge of the pit, showing no particular emotion.

"Keep digging, dig faster! After sunset, no one can enter this yard anymore!"

Old Lin began to realize that something was wrong, so he hurriedly sent someone back to the police station to call for help and also to report to his superiors.

Half an hour later, the police dispatched a large number of officers to the scene.

As soon as Li Weimin, the head of the criminal investigation department, entered, he shouted, "Who gave you permission to start construction here? Who gave you permission? Do you even know whose yard this is?"

Old Lin was stunned; he hadn't expected this reaction from his superiors.

Ling Jiuyue stepped forward: "This courtyard is mine. I want to dig it up and rebuild it. I found skeletons underneath, and to avoid ruining my family's luck, I need to remove these skeletons. Is there a problem?"

"Yours?" Li Weimin frowned. "This courtyard belongs to the Yu family. When did it become yours?"

Ling Jiuyue pulled out the documents and paperwork: "Before 9 o'clock, this yard belonged to the Yu family. After 9 o'clock, this yard belongs to me. If Section Chief Li doesn't believe me, he can call Grandpa Yu over to confront me!"

Li Weimin's face suddenly turned ugly, his breathing became heavier, and his pale face trembled uncontrollably. He seemed to want to say something but couldn't.

"No...don't dig anymore, this isn't the way back..."

Old Lin also sensed something was wrong: "Section Chief Li, there's clearly a murder case here, why aren't you digging?"

Li Weimin suddenly erupted in anger: "I said we're not digging anymore, and that's final! If we continue digging, you won't be able to take responsibility for anything that happens!"

The scene suddenly became eerily quiet. Not only could Lao Lin and the others not understand what was going on, but even the onlookers nearby were puzzled.

Yang Xingzhi secretly gave Xiao Wu a wink, then pretended to be watching the commotion and discussed it with the people next to him.

"Why did you stop digging?"

"Yes, there's something wrong with this yard at first glance!"

"I told you long ago there were dead people in here. When I was young, I even heard screams coming from inside, but you just wouldn't believe me!"

"Nobody doubts it, but didn't they dig once ten years ago and find nothing?"

"Nothing there?" Ling Jiuyue paced back and forth, smiling. "Officer Lin, if I'm not mistaken, ten years ago someone reported a murder here. The person in charge of exhuming the remains and investigating was your superior, Section Chief Li, right?"

Old Lin was startled. Ten years ago, not long after he was transferred to the county public security bureau, he went out with Li Weimin, who was then the captain of the brigade.

At the time, it seemed that someone felt something was wrong with the soil at the burial site, and for some reason, the matter suddenly disappeared.

At the time, he was just a low-level police officer, doing odd jobs and not involved in much of the work. He had no idea what was going on.

Now.....

Ling Jiuyue wanted to dig, but Li Weimin wouldn't allow it.

As the two sides were locked in a stalemate, a voice came from inside.

"dig!"

Li Weimin trembled and subconsciously looked up. It was Secretary Yang who had come over, followed by Song Zhenguo.

"Secretary Yang, about this matter..."

"dig!"

With Secretary Yang's order, the excavation work continued, and one body after another was revealed from underground, causing the surrounding crowd to gasp in shock.

As more and more bones were picked out, Li Weimin broke out in a cold sweat.

"Um, my stomach's a little upset, I'll go out..."

"Section Chief Li!" Ling Jiuyue blocked his way: "You're not just having a stomachache, you've reached the end of your life!"

Li Weimin's face was deathly pale, he was breathing heavily, and he glared at Ling Jiuyue:

"What...what nonsense are you talking about?"

Ling Jiuyue pointed to the white bones on the ground: "Ten years ago, you dug here and found nothing. So where did these bones come from?"

"Yes, I was there when they were excavating the remains that year. They ended up digging up a few dead chickens and ducks that had contracted plague!"

"That's right, that's right, it even made the newspapers back then!"

"By the way, the person who reported it was apparently sentenced to death because of this!"

"So where did these skeletons come from?"

"Perhaps..." Li Weimin licked his lips, "Perhaps someone..."

Ling Jiuyue stared into his eyes: "It's not that someone is causing trouble. It's that ten years ago, you tampered with things inside. The person who reported the case saw you burying the body and went to the police station to report it."

But he didn't know that the person handling the case was the murderer himself, and he also didn't know that the burial of the body that the complainant saw was actually a setup by him to make it easier to bury the body later!

In the end, of course, nothing came of it. You also discovered that the person who reported the crime had questionable background, so you killed him.

After that, no one dared to mention it again. Even if someone had doubts, they dared not utter a sound because of this precedent. You can rest assured and bury all the victims' bodies under this mulberry tree!

Li Weimin, drenched in sweat, stammered, "You...you're talking nonsense! How could the Yu family...why would the Yu family cooperate with me?"

Secretary Yang also looked at Ling Jiuyue: "Yes, how could the Yu family possibly cooperate with him?"

Ling Jiuyue's gaze pierced through the crowd and landed directly on the old man at the back of the crowd.

"Because the Yu family was the one who started all of this!"

"How is that possible?" someone immediately retorted. "The Yu family is a prominent family. Their eldest son works in the municipal government, and the second son is apparently in Beijing. The whole family are officials. How could that be..."

Ling Jiuyue looked at the flustered old man: "But twenty years ago, wasn't this the Yu family's center for the revisionist struggle?"

An elderly person present recalled the incident: "Yes, yes, his eldest son was the chairman of the harvest committee back then. This place was set up by him, and there were also..."

"A hero of the struggle once emerged from here. Young people from all over the country admired him and came to learn from his exemplary deeds. These people came, but who has ever seen them leave?"

Everyone fell silent. Yes, everyone knew that many young men and women had come to visit and learn from the heroes, but no one knew whether they had left.

"They...all stayed here!"

Ling Jiuyue pointed to the ground: "They came full of enthusiasm, only to be dragged in..."
