It doesn't matter if your souls are scattered, as long as you die.

Zhong Lin could understand the state of the old couple's corpses. After all, even police officers who frequently saw various gruesome corpses were sometimes terrified and turned pale.

If we're talking about who's the most skilled, it has to be the forensic pathologist. They can remain unfazed even when they see a mass of minced flesh.

Neither the person who discovered the scene nor the two police officers have been able to provide any clues.

Zhong Lin ordered his men to investigate what unusual things had happened in the surrounding area that night.

This was easy to find out; I just asked one person and got the news.

Missing persons cases are not under Chung Lin's jurisdiction; they are matters for other departments.

In addition, he was so busy investigating the murder case involving dismembered limbs that he was unaware of the missing child and search for the child last night.

Upon hearing this, after a moment's thought, I identified one of the coincidences.

If someone's limbs are broken inch by inch, a lot of blood will be lost, and the smell of blood must be strong. How come no one noticed?

This was a question that had been on his mind just now.

Now that we know everyone went out to help search for the child last night, this makes sense.

Even if there are elderly people at home, most of them go to bed early, and even if they smell blood, they will not wake up in their sleep.

"Captain Zhong, we just received news that the missing child has returned, and also..."

When Zhong Lin heard that the child had returned on his own, his eyes narrowed.

What a coincidence!

Could it be that he deliberately got lost to distract everyone and allow the murderer to act smoothly?

"What else?" Zhong Lin looked up at his subordinate after not hearing what he said next for a long time.

The subordinate looked conflicted, but finally spoke up, "The missing child was mentally challenged, but after he returned from being missing for several hours, he wasn't mentally challenged anymore."

"When asked where he went, the child actually said that he followed the light into the grove and then took a nap under a tree."

"But everyone said that they searched that grove of trees again and again yesterday, but they couldn't find the child."

After listening, Zhong Lin tapped his fingers on the table intermittently. The idiot followed the light into the grove, took a nap there, and then woke up no longer being an idiot.

He knew that grove of trees; he had been there before. It wasn't very big, only about four or five acres in size.

So many people went in and searched again and again but still couldn't find it.

Whether it's light, suddenly not being stupid anymore, or everyone being unable to find it, it all sounds quite mysterious.

He tilted his head to look at the deceased's room; the death was quite mysterious.

His limbs were smashed to pieces, yet no one heard his pitiful screams.

He leaned back, tilted his head back, and looked up, his eyes bloodshot.

Suddenly, he chuckled softly.

There must be something he missed; it couldn't be anything supernatural.

The leader said that feudal superstition is forbidden, so he can't be the one to think in that direction.

This is irresponsible towards the clothes he's wearing.

"Investigate the family whose child went missing thoroughly," he ordered.

Upon receiving the order, the subordinates departed immediately.

When Yun Li saw them setting their sights on the Shen family, she didn't feel apologetic. Her one-sided deal with the Shen family was over, and no one owed anyone anything.

He slipped into the space, took a bath, then slaughtered a goose, kept half of it, and made a beer goose with the other half. Since there was no staple food, he ate goose meat as his meal.

After eating half a goose, her belly swelled up again.

Today, instead of taking a walk to digest her food, she personally harvested the ripe vegetables and fruits from the field.

She has a lot of finished ingredients in her warehouse, but not much fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, and nuts.

Of course, this is not much, only relative to her.

The previous ninety-nine lifetimes were all end times, and even if they weren't at the beginning, they would eventually become end times.

In her first six incarnations, she didn't have any special space. To accumulate merit, she actually cut off her own flesh to feed people who were about to starve to death.

She obtained the space in her seventh incarnation, and after having the space, her path to accumulating merit became much easier.

However, giving out large amounts of food would attract covetous eyes, and before she had gained great power, she became a lamb to the slaughter.

Before she became powerful, she never lived past the age of twenty-two in her forty-nine previous lives.

In her fiftieth life, she gained her first superpower, mental strength, and began to have some combat ability.

In the worlds she experienced afterward, she gradually acquired more than a dozen abilities.

Moreover, these abilities, like the space itself, were reincarnated along with her soul.

What was originally a weak ability has become incredibly powerful with each reincarnation.

After harvesting the fruits and vegetables from two acres of land, she was covered in sweat, and her stomach was flat.

I took a shower and went to bed.

……

next day

The police conducted an investigation around the Shen family's residence and found that Shen Quansheng had been mentally challenged since childhood, and that he was not faking it.

Why am I so sure?

It was because someone had been taken advantage of by Liu Xiaomei and couldn't get their money back, so they took their anger out on the silly boy Shen Quansheng.

His way of venting his anger was to have his own children coax him into eating dog poop.

Although he was ultimately stopped from eating the dog poop, the silly boy did touch it to his mouth at the time.

If it hadn't been stopped in time, I would have actually eaten it.

When the young police officer heard what this person said, he looked at him with disdain. How despicable!

Fortunately, he had a change of heart and stopped it in the end!

Otherwise, he would have handcuffed her.

With Shen Quansheng cleared of suspicion for faking his stupidity, the junior police officer was incredibly curious: if he wasn't faking it, how did he get cured of his stupidity?

As a young police officer who has received education in the new era, he said he doesn't believe in superstitions at all.

Putting that question aside for the time being, they began investigating whether there was anything suspicious about the Shen family.

What I got in return were all sorts of complaints, and even insults.

Combining these traditional Chinese cultural elements, the conclusion is that this family has become shameless and opportunistic ever since they had a mentally challenged son.

Although his character has some issues, it's still within the normal range; after all, there are quite a few people like him in this era.

They also asked if any strangers had visited the Shen family recently.

Now we have a clue: a thin, weak little beggar.

Before the junior police officer could inform Zhong Lin of this news, the two police officers in the hospital woke up.

Both of their testimonies were consistent; they had been in contact with a thin little girl that night.

It was also specified that the little girl was from the third house to the right of the victim's family.

When the police came to investigate, they found out that there was no little girl in their family.

Just then, a police officer came to report that the Shen family had taken a little beggar home from the alleyway entrance yesterday morning.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Lin became certain that the little girl pretending to be the third family's daughter and the little beggar were the same person.

This is a breakthrough.

He planned to go to the Shen family in person to ask them.

The police returned, but by then Shen Tang and her man had already gone home.

Last night, Liu Xiaomei and her family of four were initially frantically searching for someone, and then overjoyed that their son had recovered. They didn't sleep a wink all night.

I was just about to rest when I saw the police arrive again, and I felt a little uneasy.

It's a good thing that my son isn't mentally impaired anymore, but we absolutely mustn't let him get involved in that murder case.

Although the police who arrived earlier did not explicitly mention the murder case next door, they were not stupid and guessed it immediately.

"What, do the police officers have more questions for us?" Liu Xiaomei asked nervously.

"Are you Comrade Liu Xiaomei? I have something I'd like to ask you."

"Yes, I am a police officer. Please come in!"
