Lin Ping didn't want to see her mother-in-law. Her previous marriage ended because she and her mother-in-law had a falling out, and the two couldn't continue their marriage.

So when she remarried, she made it very clear to Yunjiang from the beginning that they, Liu Fang, and she, her stepdaughter, would live separate lives. It would be best if the two families avoided contact if possible.

If it weren't for Yun Jiang'an constantly coming over to ask his mother for money, she wouldn't even want Yun Jiang to come.

She was afraid that if Yunjiang came, Liu Fang might keep mentioning wanting to live with them, or that she was too old to take care of the child, and they might take her stepdaughter away again.

Fortunately, Yunjiang wasn't particularly filial to her mother. Besides, since the house they lived in after their marriage was their own, Yunjiang didn't dare make any demands on her.

She wouldn't have come here today if it weren't for the fact that I wanted to settle scores with her stepdaughter.

Lin Ping pushed open the door with a cold face. The room smelled of garbage and mildew, and she quickly covered her nose in disgust.

"Luna said you gave her the cold shoulder at school."

Seeing Xu Keke walk in, Lin Ping's face darkened, and she glared at her. "Xiao Han's aunt came to see me today, saying Nana's eyes were swollen from crying at home. I have something to tell you..."

The smell in the room was off, so Xu Keke pushed her aside and went straight inside.

"Is this how you treat your elders? No wonder you're not well-liked; even your teachers at school don't like you... Ah!..."

Lin Ping followed behind Xu Keke, pointing at her and berating her. Xu Keke pushed open the door to the inner room and suddenly saw Liu Fang lying in a pool of blood. Lin Ping screamed in fright.

Xu Keke ignored her and quickly went to the bedside.

She reached out to check, but Liu Fang had stopped breathing. Xu Keke examined the bed closely; there was blood on the wooden bed frame. Looking at where Liu Fang had fallen, Xu Keke frowned slightly.

Liu Fang has been dead for a while. She must have hit her head on the corner of the wooden bed and died from severe bleeding due to lack of timely medical attention.

But the position she was lying in wasn't quite right. There were also traces of blood on the floor, clearly indicating she had been moved.

"Call the police immediately!"

"Why are you calling the police?" Lin Ping was too scared to come in from outside, turning her face away from looking inside. "Did your grandma lose her balance and fall? If she's not breathing, just take her away. Why call the police?"

Seeing Yunjiang enter the house, she grabbed his arm with trembling hands. Seeing Yunhan still peeking inside, she hurriedly yelled at him,

"What are you peeking into, you little kid? Keep your eyes open, don't look at things you shouldn't. Get over here right now."

The shouting had already alerted the neighbors outside. Someone had already come inside.

Xu Keke came out and closed the door to the inner room. "We must call the police."

Lin Ping, who was used to having the final say at home, angrily grabbed Yun Jiang's hand.

"What's wrong with your daughter? Does she have to cause trouble? Call the police, call the police, does she think the police are something special, serving only your family? At your mother's age, if she's not careful walking and no one's home, she could fall and die. Isn't that a perfectly normal thing? Why is she making trouble for herself!"

Yunjiang agreed with Lin Ping's point of view and said to Xu Keke, "Your aunt is right, why call the police? Why call their colleagues? Get out of the way, I'll go get a few people and put your grandma on the bed first."

Xu Keke's expression darkened slightly, and her gaze towards Yun Jiang turned cold.

Hearing Xu Keke close the door, Lin Ping was no longer afraid and boldly turned around. She shouted at Xu Keke,

"That's right. If you're really filial, first find the funeral clothes your grandma prepared for her. Then change her into them later."

"No, we have to call the police today." Xu Keke stood motionless in front of the door, staring coldly at the two of them.

The doorway was already crowded with neighbors. They all understood what had happened. A death in the family was no small matter.

However, they initially agreed with Yunjiang and his wife's assessment. But seeing Xu Keke's insistence, they seemed to realize something was amiss.

Yun Jiang and Lin Ping have a terrible reputation in this neighborhood; nobody cares what they think. Everyone is more concerned about the original owner of this body, the current Xu Keke.

Someone volunteered, "Wait here, there's a phone upstairs, I'll go make the call."

"That's right. Since the child has mentioned it, let the police come and take a look. We should at least put the child's mind at ease."

The neighbors outside were all talking at once, all supporting Xu Keke. Knowing that no one would listen to him, Yun Jiang frowned and remained silent.

"Hmph! Just you wait and see when the police come. They'll scold you. You're just looking for trouble." Lin Ping simply sat down on the original owner's small bed, crossed her arms, and waited with her legs crossed.

The police officers arrived quickly. Lin Ping saw them as if she were seeing family.

"Officers, please come quickly. My child's grandmother fell and died, and my stepdaughter insisted on calling you. These people are also joining in the commotion, interfering in our family's affairs."

The lead policeman, who appeared to be in his forties, looked at Lin Ping sternly and asked, "Where is the old man now? Who found him first?"

Seeing this, Lin Ping chickened out and stepped aside. Pointing at Xu Keke,

"Yes, she saw it, and she insisted that the police be called. You can ask her if you have any questions."

Xu Keke led the police into the inner room and pointed to the bloodstains on the floor.

“Look at this pool of blood. My grandmother should have bumped her head here and then her head fell here. But when I came in, she was in this very spot. She has clearly been moved.”

Furthermore, there was a bed right next to her. When someone falls, their instinct should be to lean onto the bed. There was no water or anything else that could trip her. Falling into thin air like that, she's so frail; she shouldn't have sustained such serious injuries. After such severe injuries, it's impossible for her to get up and move on her own.

I found it suspicious, which is why I insisted on calling the police.

The police officers exchanged glances, all taken aback by Xu Keke's analysis.

Not only them, but the neighbors who had called the police to come outside to listen to the commotion were also amazed, never expecting that the usually quiet child could be so thoughtful.

Yun Jiang, standing in the outer room, was deathly pale. Lin Ping initially thought Xu Keke was pretending to know what she didn't.

She dismissed Xu Keke's words with a disdainful sneer, but then noticed Yun Jiang's strange behavior. Suddenly, Lin Ping realized something and grabbed his hand, looking at him in disbelief.

Just then, the older policeman came out from the inner room to find out what was going on, and he immediately noticed the couple's little actions.

He understood, but didn't say it aloud. Instead, he simply said...

"Alright, we need to take your old lady's body back for examination later. You family members will also come back with us to help us understand the situation."

As for how the old lady died, it's not something a young girl can determine in a few words. We need to investigate further before we can find out.

"Alright, all of you family members, come with us."
