The cannon fodder fiancée in the redemption story, 6. Mwah!

Ren Yue went insane after her daughter was murdered. Zhou Zhibin not only didn't show her any concern after she went mad, but instead sold her off.

Six months later, he brought home a "new" wife, who, upon investigation, turned out to be Ren Yue's younger sister, Xu Min.

Xu Min is three years younger than Ren Yue, and both of them grew up in an orphanage. Xu Min was frail and sickly from a young age and was often bullied in the orphanage. It was Ren Yue who protected her and loved her like a younger sister.

Ren Yue's initial wish in studying medicine was to master medical skills and cure Xu Min's congenital heart disease.

Although Xu Min is in poor health, she has an exceptionally high IQ and is the kind of genius who learns everything very quickly.

After Ren Yue was abducted, Xu Min searched for her whereabouts, but unfortunately she was too late. When she found Ren Yue, she had already been sold twice and was mentally unstable.

Xu Min brought Ren Yue back to City A, where she sought out the best psychologist to treat her while also hiring a private investigator to delve into the truth behind her abduction.

After learning the truth, she took matters into her own hands and meticulously planned her revenge. Just then, Ren Yue's condition improved.

She hated the Zhou family and was determined to avenge her daughter. She wanted all of the Zhou family members, more than a dozen in total, to pay for her newborn daughter's death.

Thus began the family annihilation case at the beginning. That day happened to be Old Man Zhou's birthday, so Xu Min coaxed Zhou Zhibin to celebrate Old Man Zhou's birthday in his name and gather the whole family together.

Xu Min followed Zhou Zhibin back to Xiaozhou Village the night before and was not seen by anyone. The next day, she paid Zhou Zhibin to go to the city to buy chicken, duck, fish, meat, and fresh seafood.

She personally cooked a lavish birthday banquet. To buy time, she prepared a long menu with many time-consuming dishes, so that she could legitimately change the banquet to the evening.

While cooking, Xu Min added scopolamine, which she had carefully extracted in the laboratory, to several of the Zhou family's favorite hearty dishes with rich, dark sauces.

Halfway through the meal, Zhou Zhigang accidentally knocked over his wine glass. He tried to stand up and pick it up, but found that his body was completely unresponsive, and he slid to the ground like a lump of mud.

He looked at the crowd in horror; one after another, the whole family collapsed to the ground.

He glared at Xu Min, the only one sitting there calmly and slowly picking at her food, and with all his might, he asked in a pitifully low voice, "You poisoned me?"

Xu Min put down her chopsticks: "Where did the poison come from? I ate the food, so why am I fine? I think some people are just getting their comeuppance for doing too many evil deeds."

Once she was certain that the Zhou family members were no longer capable of resisting, Xu Min sent Ren Yue a smiley face.

Ren Yue, who had been hiding in the shadows, walked into the Zhou family, which she had once deeply hated and desperately wanted to escape, carrying her bag.

The scalpel gleamed coldly in the moonlight. She squatted down in front of Zhou Zhibin, and with a gentle stroke of the scalpel along his Adam's apple, blood gushed out.

"Remember? I said I was going to kill you. You've lived this long, you've gotten off too easy!"

Ren Yue's voice was very soft. Zhou Zhibin stared at her with wide eyes, making a gurgling sound in his throat.

Ren Yue turned to Li Aihua, who was slumped to the side, her face filled with terror: "As for you..."

She suddenly laughed, a laugh that sent chills down Li Aihua's spine: "When you killed my daughter, did you ever think this day would come?"

Li Aihua looked at her daughter-in-law in horror, unable to believe that this crazy woman had actually regained her senses.

What made her even more desperate was that Ren Yue didn't kill her immediately, but instead went to other people.

"Don't be afraid, I'll be the last one to kill you."

Ren Yue's voice was terrifyingly gentle: "I will make you watch them die one by one, just like I could only watch my child breathe his last."

What followed was a nightmare of hell for Li Aihua.

Ren Yue's technique is professional; every cut is precise and deadly. She has practiced for a long time to achieve this.

Zhou Zhigang, Zhou Zhimin, Old Man Zhou... died one after another in agony, and the children did not escape death either.

Ren Yue hates the Zhou family to the core. Zhou Zhibin ruined her life, Li Aihua killed her child, and Zhou Zhimin was her mother's accomplice.

Zhou Zhigang used his position as an auxiliary police officer as a cover, while Zhou Zhiming provided convenience to Zhou Zhibin through a small restaurant, resulting in the abduction and trafficking of many children and single women.

None of their family members were innocent. Old Zhou was full of moral righteousness, yet he turned a blind eye to his youngest son's human trafficking. He deserved to die.

As for these children, being born into the Zhou family is their misfortune.

Ren Yue is now focused on revenge; she doesn't care whether she lives or dies, she just wants the Zhou family to die.

As for whether the children are innocent or not, isn't her daughter innocent too?

Aren't those families who lost their children and were ruined because of their family also innocent?

Xu Min wasn't afraid of death, or rather, her time was running out.

The two sisters thus planned and carried out this family-annihilation revenge case.

The reason the site was cleaned up so thoroughly was because Xu Min got inspiration from movies and TV dramas.

He wore gloves and shoe covers throughout the entire crime, leaving no clues for the police.

She was thinking that her heart condition was getting worse and that she didn't have many days left to live.

But her older sister, Ren Yue, is different. After this incident, as long as there is no evidence to catch her, she can start a new life.

Or even if the police find out, she can take all the blame herself.

Coincidentally, Ren Yue thought the same thing. She didn't care if she was arrested, but she couldn't let her sister Xu Min be implicated.

This is also why she insisted on killing him; she wanted to leave the chance of survival to Xu Min.

The case was eventually solved, but Xu Min died before the verdict was announced due to her rapidly deteriorating condition.

Ren Yue was sentenced to death. Before her death, she requested that her and Xu Min's ashes be buried in the cemetery plot in City A that she had bought for her daughter.

After this case was solved, it led to the uncovering of a major cross-provincial human trafficking case.

According to a notebook that Xu Min obtained from Zhou Zhibin, the police found detailed records of every abducted person he had handled.

To be honest, Zhou Zhibin is both arrogant and insecure. He dropped out of junior high school and went out to work.

With low education and no special skills, he can only do manual labor. He's lazy and doesn't want to work hard; all he wants is to make a fortune.

After facing setbacks everywhere, he turned to swindling and deception. He presented himself as a big boss to deceive naive young female workers and college students, and even developed beautiful handwriting for this purpose.

He prided himself on being a cultured person, and after each successful theft, he would write about the crime in his diary with a sense of pride.

Unexpectedly, this provided the police with crucial clues, leading to the rescue of dozens of victims.

The case was solved, but the investigators felt no joy at the resolution, only an overwhelming sense of heaviness.

Looking at the case report, Zheng Anguo couldn't help but sigh: "As the old saying goes, every cause has its effect. Zhou Zhibin really harmed himself and others..."

Chen Xia and Zheng Anguo's team made significant contributions to solving the case, and Chen Anbang directly transferred the mentor and apprentice to the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

Li Qiang, the director of the West District Police Station, was furious. He said it was supposed to be a temporary transfer, and the case had already been solved, so why were all the key personnel in their station being arrested?

He complained to the bureau chief several times, and finally managed to get two new police cars as compensation from him, which made the bureau chief smile.

After being transferred to the bureau, Chen Xia and Zheng Anguo were both assigned to the Criminal Investigation Team 3.

No sooner had the formalities been completed than a case was transferred to their third team.

Today, Du Youtian, who is in his sixties, reported to the Municipal Public Security Bureau that his eldest daughter, Du Juan, had died suddenly two days ago. He felt that something was amiss and requested the police to investigate.

After investigation, the police station found that Du Juan is 42 years old, married, has two daughters, and runs a chicken farm with her husband in their hometown.

Last year, in order to provide a better life for her two children, Du Juan transferred both of her daughters to schools in the city.

She also began her life as a student's accompaniment. Since her family did not have a house in the city, she stayed at her younger brother Du Lei's house.

Du Lei is a few years younger than his sister. He and his wife usually live in their rural hometown, contracting land, while their elderly father, Du Youtian, stays in the city to take care of the children's schooling.

After Du Juan brought her two daughters over, Du Youtian felt that the house was more lively, and he felt much more relaxed.

His eldest daughter, Du Juan, does the cooking, and all he needs to do each day is drive his electric scooter to pick up and drop off the kids. He lives a very comfortable life.

The day my eldest daughter had the accident was a Sunday afternoon. That day, my eldest daughter was returning to the city from her hometown with her two granddaughters.

At six o'clock, Du Juan made dinner. Not long after the family finished eating, Du Juan said that her stomach was not feeling well and went to bed early.

By 9 p.m., Du Juan's condition had not improved; in fact, it had worsened.

Upon seeing this, Du Youtian quickly called his son, Du Lei.

Du Lei was having dinner with two friends in the city when he hung up the phone and drove over, accompanied by two other friends.

Du Juan was already unconscious at this time, and Du Lei asked his father, Du Youtian, to stay and take care of the three children.

He and his friends took his sister, Du Juan, to a nearby traditional Chinese medicine hospital, but the doctors couldn't find the cause of her illness and suggested transferring her to another hospital.

Around 11 p.m. that night, Du Juan was taken to the city's central hospital. Upon arrival, doctors confirmed that she had lost vital signs.

Du Youtian said that late that night, he received a call from his son Du Lei saying that his eldest daughter Du Juan had died.

Du Youtian asked him how he died, and Du Lei said it was a sudden heart attack.

The family was devastated, but since the person was gone, she needed to be laid to rest. That very night, Du Lei took Du Juan's body back to the countryside to prepare for burial.

The next morning, Du Youtian took the leftovers from Du Juan's meal the day before and fed them to the dog. In the afternoon, the dog also died.

Du Youtian sensed something was wrong, and after thinking it over, he went to the municipal police station to report the case.

After taking over the case, the third team initially suspected that Du Juan may have died from food poisoning.

Chen Xia and another investigator went to the attending physician at the city's central hospital to inquire about the situation.

The doctor said the patient was already dead when she arrived at the hospital. Based on the symptoms described by the patient's family, there could be several possible causes for Du Juan's condition.

However, after investigation, all of these possibilities were ruled out. In the end, Chen Xia and several colleagues unanimously concluded that Du Juan's cause of death was most likely poisoning.

This also explains why her dog died after eating her leftovers.

Soon, the stomach contents of Du Juan and her dog were sent for toxicology testing.

A few days later, the test results showed that both individuals' stomach contents contained a highly toxic pesticide.

Although this thing was banned from production, sale and use many years ago, it cannot be ruled out that some people secretly sell or buy it.

However, what puzzled the investigators was that the dog died after eating Du Juan's leftovers, indicating that there was something wrong with the food.

But when the incident happened, Du Juan was eating with her father, Du Youtian, her two daughters, and her nephew. There's no reason why she was the only one who got poisoned.

Chen Xia also found it strange, so she questioned Du Juan's eldest daughter, asking them what they had eaten that night.

Du Juan's eldest daughter recalled: "That night, Mom made stir-fried green beans with pork and scrambled eggs with tomatoes."

The pork that day was particularly fatty, and I don't like fatty meat, so I only ate steamed buns and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

My younger brother and sister didn't eat the stir-fried green beans with pork either; they ate it by soaking steamed buns in the sauce from the scrambled eggs with tomatoes. My grandfather ate little that evening, only having soup and no vegetables.

When they asked Du Youtian again, their accounts were almost identical. It seemed the problem most likely lay with the stir-fried green beans and pork.

The green beans were brought back from their hometown, and there were still quite a few left in the kitchen. But Du Juan's eldest daughter said that there was only one piece of meat, and her mother had cooked it all.

Just when everyone was at a loss, they suddenly remembered that locals usually cut off and discard the pork skin when stir-frying pork.

After carefully examining the kitchen trash can in Du Lei's home, investigators found several pieces of cut-off pork skin.

After being sent for testing, the pork tested positive for the same highly toxic substance found in Du Juan's stomach contents and the dog's stomach contents. This confirmed that the pork was the culprit.

It has now been confirmed that the pork was the real culprit in the murder of Du Juan and the dog. But where did this piece of pork come from? And how was the highly toxic substance injected into it?

After investigating repeatedly for more than half a month, in the end, all the previous suspects were ruled out.

After seeing the text bubble above Du Lei's head, Chen Xia knew that the toxic pork was definitely related to him.

However, Du Juan's crime wasn't murder; she mistakenly ate poisoned pork, and Du Lei was inextricably linked to it. But she couldn't say it directly; she could only subtly guide Zheng Anguo and the others to focus their attention on Du Lei.

Her reasoning was reasonable, and Du Lei's words were incoherent. He told Du Youtian that his sister, Du Juan, had died of a sudden heart attack.

However, after the investigators went to the hospital to verify the information, they found that the attending physician had never said that Du Juan died of a sudden heart attack.

Something unusual must be going on.

Investigators quickly launched a deeper investigation, during which some people reported that Du Lei had a gambling habit and had also engaged in petty theft.

Following the clues, they found Wang Ning, a close friend who often hung out with him.

After being summoned, Wang Ning spilled the beans. It turned out that Wang Ning and Du Lei had planned to steal a dog.

The two men mixed a piece of pork with highly toxic pesticide, wrapped it in a black plastic bag, and went to a well-scouted rural area to steal dogs.

But after visiting several homes, the owners were all very wary. Seeing that they couldn't successfully administer the drug, the two had no choice but to give up and return home.

Du Lei stuffed the pork wrapped in a black plastic bag into a corner of the refrigerator, thinking it might come in handy next time he went to steal a dog.

As a result, he was careless and forgot to tell his sister, Du Juan, that the piece of pork was poisoned.

Du Juan found this piece of pork while rummaging through the refrigerator while cooking, and used it to make stir-fried green beans with pork, which led to tragedy.

Du Lei dared not admit that the pork was the problem for two reasons: first, he was afraid of bearing legal responsibility, and second, he was afraid that his father, brother-in-law, and two nieces would hate him.

Du Youtian never expected that his son's momentary carelessness would harm both himself and others, and that he would even be accused of "putting righteousness before family."

After the case was solved, Chen Xia and the members of the three teams all breathed a sigh of relief, and the follow-up was no longer their concern.

For the next period of time, the three teams resumed their normal get off work schedules.

The members of Team One and Team Two were incredibly envious of how relaxed they were.
