"At the very least, the security guard didn't know that she had left the dormitory area yesterday morning."

"So, did you actually see anything before and after entering the woods and meeting Liu Han?"

Jiang Yuping asked herself these questions in her heart.

Orange Gully is located between the factory area and the dormitory area.

The staff and cadres in the dormitory area sometimes go for a walk in the woods early in the morning to breathe in the fresh air. Nearby villagers also go into the woods to collect firewood, bundling up rotten and dry branches to take home as fuel for cooking, thus saving money on coal.

In 1977, cooking in the nearby villages was mostly done with earthen stoves, and the use of coal briquettes for cooking was not yet widespread.

It wouldn't be so scary if the villagers found her, because she was disguised and they wouldn't be able to recognize her.

If any factory workers discover that she entered the woods and report it to the police investigation team or the security department, she could very well be identified as a murder suspect. Anyone who entered the woods yesterday morning would have the opportunity and possibility to commit the crime.

Seeing the thoughts on his wife's face, Qiu Jingwen gently stepped forward and hugged Jiang Yuping.

“Yuping, let’s go to work first. It’s not good to be late. People will suspect something. We can discuss it when we get back tonight. Don’t worry, you’ll be fine. The police shouldn’t suspect you for a while.”

Jiang Yuping wasn't stupid; she naturally understood what her husband meant, so they walked out of the bedroom together.

They washed their faces, and Jiang Yuping even put on light makeup to cover up the tired and haggard look on her face.

Since Wei Hong had worked as a forensic doctor for several years, if she behaved in many abnormal ways, it would inevitably arouse her best friend's suspicion.

Qiuyue had already prepared breakfast and even bought some sesame seed cakes and fried dough sticks.

Qiu Jingwen and Jiang Yuping ate breakfast together, then put down their chopsticks.

Before leaving, Jiang Yuping said to her daughter:

"Qiuyue, you heard the announcement on the radio, right? The situation is a bit tense right now. You don't have to go to work today. Stay home and take care of your younger brother and sister. Try not to go out. Tonight, have your dad call your brother Qiuyang back so we can all meet up and talk about some things."

Qiuyue hummed in agreement, stuffed a piece of fried dough stick into her mouth, and chewed it happily.

However, she never imagined that her family would undergo such a dramatic change following this murder.

To be precise, everything began to change completely from that rainy day, from the day Liu Han appeared at the Hongqi Factory.

However, this change has only occurred in Qiu Jingwen and his wife Jiang Yuping so far.
