After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

The day after a large number of people searching for goods were captured, Wang Zhao was buying breakfast outside when he overheard a couple arguing.

He had no intention of listening, but the couple's argument grew louder and louder, forcing him to listen to the whole thing.

The couple were originally quite loving, and they even ran a small business at home, which provided them with a means of making a living.

They may not be extremely wealthy, but they are at least moderately well-off.

Judging from the husband's words, he was probably saying that it was all his fault for losing money and putting their family in a difficult situation.

What really caught Wang Zhao's attention was a sentence his husband said.

"You say you didn't touch him? How did that child die? Did his stepfather strangle him?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhao forgot all about buying steamed buns and immediately climbed over the courtyard wall.

His appearance really startled the two people in the courtyard.

The husband asked, "Who are you?"

Wang Zhao said, "I am from the government office. I just heard you say the child is dead. What exactly happened?"

"No, nothing." The husband's eyes flickered.

The husband, hands on his hips, asked, "What proof do you have that you're from the government?"

He looked Wang Zhao up and down a few times. "You're not even wearing official robes. If you say so, then I could say so too."

Wang Zhao asked, "Did you also encounter a husband who, holding a child, falsely accused you of killing his child?"

The husband was shocked. "How...how did you know?!"

His husband was also very surprised when he heard this.

Wang Zhao asked, "Do you still remember what he looked like?"

The husband said, "Of course I remember. Even if he were reduced to ashes, I would still recognize him."

Wang Zhao asked, "Did he go to the government office to beat the drum and appeal for justice, accusing you of killing his child?"

"Yes, yes, yes. I really didn't touch that child. Who knows if he's already dead?"

Wang Zhao then asked, "How did you get out after being arrested and taken to the government office?"

The husband said irritably, "How else could we have gotten out? We paid to get out, of course. Who are you anyway? Why are you asking so many questions?"

A sudden thought struck Wang Zhao: "Is it after dusk, when it's completely dark, that the court session begins?"

The couple exchanged a glance, and the husband said, "What exactly are you trying to say?!"

"You answer me first," Wang Zhao said. "There's one last question: does the presiding official have a mole on the corner of his mouth?"

The husband replied, "Yes, so what?"

Wang Zhao slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Oh dear!"

It turns out he wasn't the only victim.

He immediately tried to pull them both away, saying, "Come with me to the yamen. You've been deceived! That presiding official isn't the magistrate; his judgment is invalid! And most importantly, that child is already dead!"

Upon hearing this, the husband quickly asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"I'll ask you again, when that husband was with the child, did the child never cry?"

The husband said, "That's right, that's right. I was very curious at the time. Not only did the child smell incredibly sweet, but he didn't cry for several hours."

"That's right!" Wang Zhao said, "Because the child died long ago, and the incense is just suppressing the stench of his corpse!"

"Huh?" the husband said. "You mean the child died a long time ago?"

"Not only that, that husband isn't the child's biological father; he was abducted!"

"What...?"

"In short, come with me to the yamen first, and everything will become clear then."

Wang Zhao led the couple back to the county government office. As soon as he saw Lin San, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Third Brother, I've found evidence that Chen Xiaomi is colluding with the kidnappers!"

Lin San really didn't expect that this young man did indeed have a bit of luck.

Wang Zhao handed them a portrait of Chen Xiaomi, and the husband immediately realized that the culprit who had caused their family to fall into poverty was Chen Xiaomi!

After learning about the situation from the couple, Lin San promised them that he would compensate them for their losses once Chen Xiaomi was arrested and brought to justice.

Lin San knew that the registrar enjoyed being an official, including his corruption issues such as embezzlement and bribery.

He originally planned to settle scores later, but he never expected that this person would be involved in the kidnapping case.

Lin San immediately ordered the registrar to be locked up. While making every effort to capture the mastermind behind the scenes, he also tracked down Chen Xiaomi's whereabouts.

However, sometimes surprises and blunders go hand in hand.

No one expected that during the arrest of Chen Xiaomi, they would unexpectedly capture the ringleader of a human trafficker who had been on the run for ten years.

This person was also a wanted criminal by the imperial court, with several lives on his hands.

It turns out that Chen Xiaomi's lover was him!

The two of them had been hooking up for a long time.

However, this man was not generous to Chen Xiaomi. He made a fortune by trafficking people, but he only gave Chen Xiaomi a pittance.

Over time, Chen Xiaomi grew resentful.

They were so close, yet in the end they got nothing.

How could Chen Xiaomi be willing to accept this!

However, he was a shrewd man, and while helping his lover deal with their dead child, he actually came up with a way to make money.

He secretly contacted the registrar, using the corpses to extort money from people, and split the extorted silver with the registrar.

Everything had been peaceful until Wang Zhao suddenly disrupted their plans.

Chen Xiaomi amassed a considerable amount of silver through this method, which made him increasingly greedy and insatiable.

This time, seeing that Wang Zhao was from out of town and dressed in fine clothes, he finally had an idea.

Although the perpetrator has been caught, the whereabouts of the abducted children are still unknown, and they may never see their families again in this lifetime.

The crimes committed by the murderer are too numerous to recount.

Beheading is a foregone conclusion.

As for Chen Xiaomi, all his assets were handed over to the victims, and he not only became penniless but also had to serve many years in prison.

The decade-long child abduction case in Song County has finally been solved.

Wang Zhao was in a good mood and was thinking of celebrating with Lin San, but he saw that Lin San did not look happy at all, but instead looked serious.

"Third Brother, what's wrong?"

Lin San said, "I feel like something's not right."

"Something's not right. Haven't they all been caught?" Wang Zhao said. "Right, is it because you haven't had time to deal with that registrar yet, that you feel empty inside?"

Lin San said, "Don't worry, he can't run away."

"Oh," Wang Zhao asked, "So, Third Brother, what exactly is wrong?"

Lin San said, "I'll go to Chen Xiaomi's house again. I feel like I've overlooked some important clue."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhao exclaimed, "I'll go too! I'll go too!"

The two arrived at Chen Xiaomi's home, and Lin San began rummaging through drawers and cabinets.

"Third Brother, what are you looking for? I'll help you find it," Wang Zhao said.

"No need," Lin San said. "Actually, I don't know what I'm looking for. I'm just guessing that if Chen Xiaomi's lover isn't the ultimate mastermind, then there must be something left behind."
