The aloof military doctor arrives at the unit, and the tough guy can't sit still.

Xia Qiuran and her group entered the house, which was just as messy and smelly as the day they rescued Sun Xiaocao.

Fortunately, Ma Daguang's residence was not very large, with only two rooms and a communal courtyard outside. Even if someone had been murdered, they wouldn't have been buried in the courtyard, making the search relatively easy.

The group put on gloves and immediately began the search in an orderly manner.

However, an hour later, the police searched every possible and impossible place, but found absolutely nothing suspicious.

Xia Qiuran even climbed up the roof beams to check, but still found nothing.

"Everyone, come and see what this is! It's covered in blood!"

Suddenly, a policeman pointed to a large box that had been pulled out from under the bed and said...

Everyone quickly gathered around. Ma Daguang, who had been standing outside, tried to step forward to stop them, but was immediately restrained by two police officers.

The bloodstains had long since dried, so the box must have been quite old. The group's eyes were fixed on the box, and a sense of oppressive fear spread around them.

"Open."

After the lead police officer gave the order, the others immediately used crowbars to break open the box.

With a "squeak".

The box was quickly pried open.

The group looked over with trepidation.

Inside, all sorts of "torture instruments" were exposed.

There were whips, candles... and even duckbill pliers.

Each of the "torture instruments" was more or less stained with the color of dry red dye.

"Ma Daguang, are you a psychopath?" The police captain couldn't help but kick Ma Daguang.

Ma Daguang endured the pain but dared not retaliate.

"Officers, the things in there are for training my dogs, don't get the wrong idea."

These things alone, aside from moral condemnation, are indeed insufficient to convict Ma Daguang.

The group had no choice but to continue their search.

Time passed second by second, and by this time a lot of people had gathered outside. Seeing that the time was about right, Ma Daguang sat down on the chair and began to speak in a yin-yang manner.

"It's good to have an official as a partner; they can raid other people's homes for no reason."

After saying that, he looked at the crowd of onlookers and deliberately incited them.

"Hmph, you don't need to watch the show and find it interesting now. Maybe one day it will be your turn to have all your belongings confiscated."

Most of the onlookers were elderly women and neighbors who had experienced oppression and hardship. Hearing this, they immediately felt a little panicked.

Could it be that corruption has broken out at the top again, and they're starting to target ordinary people? Why are they searching the house for so long?

"Ma Daguang, we have proper procedures for coming here to investigate. Stop spreading rumors." Xia Qiuran stepped forward and said loudly to him.

"I'm just an ordinary citizen, what do I know? I just do whatever you say."

Ma Daguang scoffed lightly, looking helpless with an expression that said, "Whatever you say goes."

After waiting a while longer, seeing that the people inside still hadn't found anything, Ma Daguang became even more smug and arrogant.

"Everyone come and see! This woman is bullying me, a powerless commoner, just because she found a boyfriend who is a regimental commander. It's outrageous!"

"And the reason is simply that I didn't give her my seat on the bus once, and she has held a grudge ever since."

Ma Daguang delivered his speech with great emotion, portraying himself as a pitiful person who was being retaliated against for offending powerful figures.

"Isn't this bullying others by taking advantage of one's power? This is just like the spoiled young lady of the past."

"Judging from this, her boyfriend must not be a good official either."

Quiet whispers rose and fell among the crowd. Although they dared not speak openly in front of the government, many thoughts were already forming in their minds.

If such rumors were to spread, it would certainly have a very negative impact on Lu Zhenghan.

"Don't talk nonsense. We're here to investigate a case," the police captain shouted, trying to stop them.

Ma Daguang retorted directly, "What case? You've been searching my house for so long, what have you found?"

The police were speechless for a moment; after all this time, they hadn't found any suspicious items.

"Not finding it this time doesn't prove anything; we will continue our investigation."

The police officers stepped outside, their sharp edges gradually fading. They glanced at Ma Daguang, who remained composed, and although they were unwilling, they were helpless.

Ma Daguang became even more smug and continued his sarcastic remarks.

"Of course you can investigate anytime. After all, you're all in uniform. How could I, a mere commoner, afford to offend you?"

The police officer glanced at Ma Daguang with a somber expression. No matter how angry they were, they couldn't do anything to Ma Daguang. Then he called to Xia Qiuran inside.

"Dr. Xia, we've searched all the places we needed to. Let's go."

"Wait a minute, let me go in and take another look."

Xia Qiuran stared at the door for a while, then turned around and went back into the house, feeling extremely anxious.

The thing that Aunt Lü was looking for hasn't been found yet. Aunt Lü isn't an untrustworthy person; if we delay a little longer, she will definitely come.

Ma Daguang's face was droopy, his eyes clearly filled with murderous intent. He then followed Xia Qiuran into the house, stood behind her, and spoke in a sinister tone.

"Xia Qiuran is a busybody, but she usually doesn't end up well."

Xia Qiuran turned around, stood up straight, her gaze cold and fearless, and her voice was powerful and resolute.

Those who commit numerous evil deeds will not have a good end.

"Okay, I'll report it to the relevant authorities and put up banners in the streets later. Let's see if your regimental commander's girlfriend is scared."

A vicious, sinister smile tugged at the corner of Ma Daguang's mouth.

Xia Qiuran met the other party's fierce gaze head-on. Although she appeared fearless, a sense of unease gradually arose in her heart.

I wonder how things are going with Aunt Lü's search. If she doesn't come soon, it will really be too late.

"Dr. Xia, it's almost time, let's go."

The police officer in charge urged them again, saying that their search was time-limited, and besides, there was no direct evidence pointing to Ma Daguang. If Ma Daguang made a scene under the pretext of investigating missing persons, they would be in trouble.

"Officer, just wait a little longer, it'll be done soon." Xia Qiuran's eyes were full of anxiety as she kept staring at the doorway, but there was no movement.

If we can't find anything today after finally obtaining a search warrant, we may never have another chance.

After working so hard for so long, and seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, she really didn't want to give up.

"Officers, it's been almost two hours. You should already know whether the person inside is settling a personal score or not."

"Because I refused to give up my seat once, I was subjected to such retaliation by the wife of the regiment commander. This is completely depriving us ordinary people of any way to survive."

Ma Daguang kept inciting the emotions of those around him, attempting to create conflict and pointing the finger at Lu Zhenghan.

"Dr. Xia, let's hurry up and go." Fearing trouble, the police officer urged Xia Qiuran again.

Xia Qiuran was both panicked and anxious. The crowd's complaints were getting louder and louder. Ma Daguang kept playing the victim and acting pitiful, stirring up emotions.

After a while of stalemate, Xia Qiuran finally couldn't take it anymore and had no choice but to go back with the police.

Ma Daguang's smug look was like a heavy punch to her heart; even though she was unwilling, she could only swallow it down.

I never expected that after all my efforts, Ma Daguang would still manage to escape.

But just as she reached the door, a peculiar voice suddenly entered Xia Qiuran's ears.
