After Lin Qingyan, Granny Lin, and Lin Zhiheng left, the squad leader said, "Captain, although we usually think highly of Dr. Lin and believe she wouldn't kill anyone, the facts are clear: Dr. Lin is the most likely culprit right now. If you let her go, aren't you afraid she'll escape? This is a matter of life and death; what will we do if she runs away?"

The captain's eyes, which were about to sink in, were lifeless, and his voice was full of exhaustion: "I believe she is innocent, and I will take responsibility for whatever happens."

Since the battalion commander had said that, the squad leader couldn't say anything more.

Lin Qingyan and Lin Zhiheng's mother-in-law went home together.

On the way, Lin Zhiheng inquired about what had happened, and Lin Qingyan told him everything in detail.

Lin Zhiheng frowned even more: "Sister, if that means it's difficult to find the real murderer, then you're in great danger."

He even thought it would be better for him to turn himself in and take the place of that person. Although it would be a great injustice, at least his sister wouldn't have to face the risk of being arrested.

Lin Qingyan was afraid that he might act rashly in a moment of impulse, so she comforted him, "Xiao Heng, don't worry, things will be investigated and cleared up, don't worry."

To distract him, Lin Qingyan asked, "Xiao Heng, my mother-in-law and I went to the grain station to look for you today, but you weren't there."

"I, I..." Lin Zhiheng stammered a few times, and said with some guilt, "I'm sorry, sister, I know I shouldn't have kept it from you. I, I actually didn't work at the county grain station. There were already too many workers there, so it was hard to get in. I, I went to the black market."

But, sister, it's actually quite safe over there. I just focus on my work and don't have to worry about anything else. The boss is very capable; he handles everything very well and doesn't let the workers bear any risks. Look at me, I've been working there for so long, and everything's been fine.

Besides, I have the martial arts my mother-in-law taught me for self-defense. If someone searches me, I'll run away in a flash and they won't catch me.

"Okay." Lin Qingyan was relieved to hear him say that.

Grandma Lin usually cooks with Lin Qingyan, and she has learned to cook as well. She went to the kitchen and cooked a meal. Lin Qingyan and Lin Zhiheng didn't have much of an appetite, but they forced themselves to eat some rice. Grandma Lin didn't eat much either.

Brigade Leader's House

When it was time to eat, Lu's mother, Li Qinqin, and Li Fang and Li Gang all went home.

As soon as Lu Zhengting saw his mother, he said, "Mom, you didn't even tell me about what happened!"
