Zhou Luancheng just looked at Shi Tianliang without saying anything.

This calm look made Shi Tianliang even more uneasy, and he couldn't help but tremble as he spoke: "Comrade Zhou, Da Lei is my only son, and he can't have any accidents."

Mu Xiaowan looked at Shi Tianliang's anxious expression, but she didn't have a trace of sympathy. What did he say when she begged him to let her go back to the city? He said that a bastard like you deserved to die of illness.

Therefore, even though we know that Shi Dalei is dead and Shi Tianliang lost his son in old age, and that the old are sending off the young, we cannot feel the slightest bit of sympathy.

Everything they have is just retribution for the evil deeds they did in the past.

Zhou Luancheng also had no expression: "We are just checking the identity information. The identity needs to be further confirmed."

But he was already certain in his heart that the deceased was Shi Dalei.

Shi Tianliang was already panicking and didn't know what to say. He originally had three sons and four daughters, but the eldest and second sons had accidents a few years ago, and the four daughters were all married and now belonged to other families.

Shi Dalei is the only son left by their side, and he is the one they can rely on when they grow old.

Before he could ask about the whereabouts of Zhou Luancheng's son, Li Xiumei brought Chen Ping back in a panic.

Chen Ping was still wearing a straw hat, with a towel around his neck and his trouser legs rolled up, which were splattered with mud. He walked in without even saying hello and yelled at Zhou Luancheng, "What happened to my Shi Dalei? Did he do something wrong? Do you know where Dalei is?"

Shi Tianliang shouted at Chen Ping impatiently: "What are you yelling about? Can't you see I'm talking to Comrade Zhou?"

Li Xiumei saw that her husband looked unhappy and suddenly had a bad feeling. She looked at Zhou Luancheng cautiously and asked, "What happened to my Da Lei?"

Zhou Luancheng didn't hide it this time: "Two bodies were found in Hongqi Town. They were already highly decomposed. One of the dead was similar in age and physical features to Shi Dalei, so I came here to verify the situation. You can also go to the Hongqi Town Police Station to check."

After hearing the cry of "Oh my god", Li Xiumei sat on the ground and began to cry: "My son, my poor Da Lei, how can you be so cruel..."

She cried and slapped her thigh, looking extremely sad.

Chen Ping was also stunned, and after a while he started to cry: "No, no Da Lei, it's definitely not Da Lei, you must have made a mistake."

Zhou Luancheng still did not show any expression as he recounted the incident: "It is indeed uncertain at the moment, so you should go and have a look. If it is not, then that is good. If it is, then let the deceased rest in peace as soon as possible."

Li Xiumei suddenly jumped up and started to curse: "Who the hell are you? One moment you say yes, the next moment you say no. Are you just hoping that something bad will happen to our Da Lei? When I saw you coming back with that little vixen, I knew it was no good."

Then he pointed at Mu Xiaowan and started to scold her: "You have been looking like a vixen since you were a child. You are still a bad boy. You came to the village for reform and seduced people everywhere. You just want to do less work. If it weren't for our family helping you, you would have died long ago. You are repaying kindness with hatred now!"

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and all kinds of unpleasant words came out of his mouth.

Zhou Luancheng slammed the table and stood up: "Shut up! We are just here to inform you. You can go and see if it is true or not. If you continue to act so unreasonably, I will naturally find a way to deal with you."

Although his face was as gentle as jade, he looked a bit cold and fierce when he was angry, and his eyes seemed to be wrapped in frost.

It's chilling.

Li Xiumei, who was cursing, suddenly fell silent and looked at Zhou Luancheng with some panic and uneasiness. It was obvious that she was still frightened.

Zhou Luancheng was too lazy to say anything more and said to Shi Tianliang: "You'd better go and confirm the identity of the deceased."

Shi Tianliang didn't even have the strength to stand up, he just nodded woodenly.

Mu Xiaowan did not attack Li Xiumei due to Zhou Luancheng's presence, but she glared at Li Xiumei and her mother-in-law before leaving.

Following Zhou Luancheng out of the Shi family's yard and walking in the village, Mu Xiaowan pouted unconvincedly: "My kindness is really taken for granted. If we had known we would be scolded, we would not have told them and let them never find Shi Dalei in their lifetime."

Zhou Luancheng smiled gently: "It is our duty to tell them. After all, we cannot be like the police station's inaction. At the same time, I also want to come and see where you used to be. To see what kind of life you lived in back then, and what kind of environment you lived in, and how you developed such an open-minded, cheerful and lovely personality."

Mu Xiaowan's face suddenly turned red, and she lowered her head a little embarrassedly: "Why are you praising me all of a sudden?"

Zhou Luancheng put away his smile this time and spoke in a serious tone: "I am telling the truth, but there is one thing, no matter how much hatred there is, we must not forget our responsibilities."

"I can see that when you were in this village, many people bullied you because you were young. And because you had no backing or background, Shi Dalei's family also bullied you."

"But now is not the time for revenge. I will certainly not let them go in the future."

Mu Xiaowan opened her mouth, but no sound came out. Her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and her nose felt sore and uncomfortable.

It was the first time someone said something like this to her.

I will be her support and protect her.

Zhou Luancheng turned around and looked at Mu Xiaowan, whose eyes were red, and flicked her forehead: "Silly girl, let's go, we have other things to do. Don't you want to know who the murderer is?"

Mu Xiaowan was stunned for a moment, and quickly followed Zhou Luancheng's footsteps: "Do you know where the murderer is? Where can we find the murderer? Could it be someone from this village?"

Without waiting for Zhou Luancheng to respond, she began to analyze the situation for him: "I basically know everyone in the village. Give me some time to think about who is the most suspicious."

Zhou Luancheng waited for her to finish her chatter before he said patiently, "If we investigate so blatantly, it will easily alert the enemy. Let's stay in the town tonight and talk about it tomorrow."

Mu Xiaowan was curious: "Why wait until tomorrow?"

Zhou Luancheng teased her deliberately: "I calculated that tomorrow will be the turning point of this matter."

Mu Xiaowan naturally didn't believe it, so she pulled Zhou Luancheng's sleeve and asked for clarification: "You can't say that you rely on fortune-telling to solve cases, right? I don't believe it."

Without waiting for Zhou Luancheng to speak.

Suddenly an uncertain voice came: "Xiao Wan?"

Mu Xiaowan turned around in surprise and looked at the young man wearing a white shirt and green military pants standing under the locust tree at the entrance of the village.

He was about twenty-two or twenty-three years old, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and he was quite good-looking, but he looked at Mu Xiaowan with a bit of shyness and uncertainty.

Mu Xiaowan exclaimed in surprise, "Sun Tiejun! It's really you!"

Zhou Luancheng narrowed his eyes and looked at a man who was about the same age as Mu Xiaowan not far away...
