Reborn in the 60s, I hunt to support my family and even seduce the village beauty.

"Big brother, get up quickly!"

Before Chang Kun could even get up, Xiao Muxiu ran into the room, climbed onto the bed, and grabbed his arm.

"Alright, alright, get up!"

Chang Kun held Xiu'er in his arms, rubbing his stubble against her face, and took a deep breath of her milky scent, making Xiu'er giggle with ticklishness before letting her go.

Children have a mysterious charm that always makes people linger, like petting a cat and inhaling its scent, making you feel captivated.

"What happened? How did the cricket get away?"

He went out of the house and saw Xiao Qing searching around along the courtyard wall.

"Big brother..." Chang Qing said with a mournful face, "I fell asleep while playing last night and forgot to put the lid on the cricket cage!"

"You guys! Next time your older brother isn't back, go to sleep by yourselves. If you're late for school, you'll get scolded."

"Huh?" Xiaoqing, Xiaomu, and Xiaoshui were dumbfounded. Going to school is supposed to be about playing, so why were they being scolded for being late?

They had a bad feeling.

Only Xiu'er didn't care at all; it wasn't her turn to go to school yet anyway. She shook Chang Kun's arm: "Big brother, quickly help me find the cricket! It'll starve to death if it doesn't go home!"

This girl thought that crickets were like little children, unable to find food on their own and only waiting to be fed.

Through my senses, I discovered that the four crickets were still in the yard, under the tree, by the fish pond, and under the small courtyard.

The courtyard walls of the siheyuan (traditional courtyard house) are quite high, so grasshoppers can't escape at all.

"You guys can find it yourselves, the crickets can't escape anyway."

Give the little girls something to do, so they don't have to run around all day.

"Okay, fine!"

The four girls were initially reluctant, but after thinking about it, they realized that catching grasshoppers wasn't a bad idea.

"Little grasshopper, where are you hiding? I'm coming to find you!"

"I found you, you want to sing me a song!"

"Hehe, you'll get a spanking if you misbehave!"

They didn't even bother to eat, and searched around stealthily, as if playing hide-and-seek with the grasshoppers.

I looked at my watch; it wasn't even six o'clock yet, and it was only just getting light.

Chang Kun thought for a moment and decided to go to work early. There were still quite a few gamblers and casino operators arrested last night, and his colleagues were probably already extremely busy.

I said goodbye to my parents, got on my bike, and headed straight to work.

Just as he expected, once inside the police compound, everyone walked with an air of authority, and even the officers in charge of criminal investigation and interrogation had dark circles under their eyes.

Chang Kun didn't ask about the interrogation results. When it was his turn to contribute, he was generous and didn't rush to do the work that was his colleagues' responsibility.

Upon entering the office, I found that everyone was already there.

"Hey, I thought I'd be one of the first ones here, Master, Monkey King, you guys are even earlier!"

Hou Jun yawned: "Hey, when I left work last night, the section chief told me to come in early today. I'm guessing it'll be pretty busy these next couple of days."

"Hey Monkey, what's wrong? Didn't you sleep last night?" Even though I worked overtime last night, I didn't get home until 11 p.m. I'm so young, six or seven hours of sleep is enough.

"Sigh!" Commander Hou sighed, "I was traumatized yesterday and stayed up until two or three in the morning..."

Chang Kun looked puzzled. What was so exciting about it? They were up until two or three in the morning, and he couldn't understand what they were saying.

Hou Jun, with a lewd grin, pointed at Xiao Yu and Xiao Lü: "Look at these two, their dark circles are even worse than mine!"

Sure enough, Xiao Yu and Xiao Lü looked like they hadn't slept for days; their dark circles were almost as bad as a panda's.

"What's wrong with you all? Didn't you leave work together last night?"

Old Zeng glared at the group of guys with annoyance: "Hmph! You probably couldn't sleep last night after seeing a woman!"

Chang Kun suddenly realized: "Brother Monkey, you're really something!"

This is understandable. For people born in the 60s who had never seen such scenes before, the sudden stimulation could easily make them so excited that they couldn't sleep at night and would do important things.

What happened to Xiaoyu and Xiaolu?

Turning to look at these two, I realized they weren't married yet and didn't have partners to share a bed with.

Besides, based on just a few words from Brother Monkey and seeing the woman's back covered in a bed sheet, he couldn't resist?

These two have such poor tolerance!

Xiao Lu's face was flushed red. It was so embarrassing that her colleague had seen her doing crafts in the middle of the night!

"Um... I'm off on patrol!"

Xiao Yu, being shy, was the first to rush out of the office.

Hou Jun and Xiao Lü followed closely behind: "Let's hurry, let's hurry, we're probably going to be quite busy these next couple of days!"

"Women can ruin a person's life! Look what you've done to your three perfectly good kids!" Chang Kun laughed so hard his mouth was crooked.

After watching a joke, I offered Lei Guohong and Lao Zeng a cigarette.

"Master, have all the people we brought back last night been interrogated?"

The three men stood by the office window, puffing on their cigarettes. Lei Guohong sighed, "The interrogation is over. I heard they didn't seize much gambling money, and they didn't find any of the casino's dirty money!"

"Last night when you arrested those three ringleaders, they gritted their teeth and said that was all the money they had, and only the casino boss knew where the rest of the money was. We didn't realize those three were tough nuts to crack. Even after we broke two of their belts, they still wouldn't confess."

Old Zeng chimed in: "We probably lost everything last night. The gambling money was only about a thousand yuan, plus some receipts. After handing over a portion, we left some for the Gulou Police Station..."

Chang Kun hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll go out and take a look."

The casino's dirty money wasn't found, and the casino boss wasn't caught either. As a result, the casino boss can easily gather his men and reopen a casino at any time.

There are too many stories of people who, instead of killing the snake, suffer harm themselves.

Once the casino opens, who knows how many families will be ruined and destroyed? Chang Kun doesn't want to sit idly by.

Looking haggard, Xiao Wang saw Chang Kun walking towards the section chief's office and asked, "Chang Kun? You didn't go on patrol. Do you need to see the section chief?"

"Nothing much, just couldn't find the casino boss last night?"

"Yes! I really didn't expect that the casino boss wouldn't be here overseeing things?"

"Sister Wang, do you think the casino boss might be hiding among the gamblers?"

Xiao Wang waved his hand: "The comrades in this criminal investigation team are very experienced and won't be fooled. All those gamblers were identified one by one, and they were released after their families came to pay the fines."

At this time, gambling wouldn't get people arrested and forced to work on sewing machines, because food was scarce in all sectors, including detention centers.

If gamblers are arrested, the detention centers simply can't afford to support them; we can't just let them starve to death.

Suddenly, Chang Kun had a thought: "Sister Wang, that woman from last night?"

Xiao Wang glanced sideways at Chang Kun: "What, you're like those stinky men, wanting to see for yourself too?"

"Hehe, Sister Wang, do you think I'm that kind of person? That woman has already been let go?"

"She hasn't left yet. We already contacted her family this morning to pick her up. Sigh, she's pitiful to be caught doing that kind of thing there..." Xiao Wang felt a surge of sympathy after seeing the woman serving two men last night.

It's good that she hasn't been released yet. Since the system has determined that the woman is also a criminal, it at least means that she is not as simple as she seems on the surface.

"Sister Wang, I'll go check it out. That woman doesn't seem like an ordinary victim!"

Xiao Wang puffed out his cheeks and glared angrily at Chang Kun: "You said you weren't that kind of person, but you've already given yourself away!!"
