Before long, Sun Yang came out, carrying a basin of water, and splashed it towards the door without even looking at it!

Whoosh!

The mirror flashed quickly, spilling a whole basin of water at her feet.

"Who told you to come? Get back here!" Sun Yang said angrily.

In Mingjing's memory, Sun Yang was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a receding hairline, thin as a bean sprout, wearing tattered clothes, and always friendly to outsiders.

He was sarcastic and sarcastic towards his younger sister.

The reason for this cannot be blamed on Sun Yang.

More than a decade ago, the Ming family was implicated by the Sun family and became labor reform subjects. In order to clear his name, Ming Dashan reported Sun Yang for hiding gold.

Since then, Sun Yang's family has been paraded through the streets and criticized every few days. Sun Yang's elderly mother couldn't bear it and hanged herself in the cowshed.

Sun Yang harbored a deep grudge against Shangming Dashan from then on, and even his sister Sun Yunmei's family disliked him intensely.

Six months ago, when the original owner had just returned to the Ming family, Sun Yunmei brought her to visit Sun Yang.

Even though he didn't like Sun Yunmei, she was still his only sister, so Sun Yang treated the Ming family members with indifference.

The original owner was willful and spoiled. He couldn't stand the simple food at the Sun family's house. While wandering around the house, he happened to see a silver bracelet that Sun Yang's wife had hidden. He thought it was pretty and took it.

Sun Yang's wife, Zhang Qiao, happened to see it. Zhang Qiao was a gentle woman, and seeing that Mingjing liked it, she thought of giving it to her. However, Mingjing took it as charity and sarcasm.

He immediately bent the silver bracelet and threw it to Zhang Qiao, telling her that he didn't care for the broken thing.

Hearing this, even the most good-tempered person couldn't stand it. Zhang Qiao and Ming Jing started arguing. Ming Jing, who had a fiery temper, directly attacked Zhang Qiao and began to tear at her.

During the argument, Mingjing accidentally pushed Zhang Qiao down, causing Zhang Qiao to hit her head against the wall and immediately lose consciousness.

The Ming family was kicked out by Sun Yang and hasn't been seen since.

"Uncle, I came here today specifically to apologize. I brought some nice things to nourish Yan Yan and Jiao Jiao."

Mingjing took out two pine dragons with a sincere expression.

Two girls stood at the door, looking exactly alike. They were Sun Yang's daughters, Sun Yanyan and Sun Jiaojiao. Although they were twelve years old, they looked like eight-year-old children.

Thin and bony, short in stature, with dry and yellow hair, he was clearly malnourished.

Besides making clothes and doing mending for their neighbors to earn some pocket money, Sun Yang's family also supplemented their income by selling vegetables, bamboo baskets, and embroidery in town.

Because their home is far from the sea, they never find much when they go there, and Sun Yang's family hasn't eaten such big shrimp in a long time.

Sun Yanyan licked her lips, her large, round eyes fixed on Sun Yang, and timidly said, "Dad..."

"Uncle, I was really impulsive last time. I'm here to apologize. I caught a lot of blue shrimp, lobsters, and oysters."

Mingjing put the things down by the door. Seeing that Sun Yang was unmoved, she smiled and said, "Uncle, I won't go in. Just tell Aunt that I've been here."

Please also apologize to her for me. I won't go in. If you encounter any difficulties, please come to us.

Mingjing awkwardly waved to the twins before turning and leaving.

It's clear that Sun Yang harbors deep hostility towards them. There's no point in trying to win him over; they should just take it slow.

After Mingjing left, Sun Yang picked up the basket and the wooden bucket, looked them over, and took them inside.

"Who is it?" Zhang Qiao, heavily pregnant, came out of the house.

Sun Yang, carrying the bucket, said with a sigh, "Mingjing said she came to apologize, but I didn't let her in. However, the girl seems different from last time. I don't know if it's true."

“Sun Yang, I’m due to give birth in a few months. How am I going to support my son? Why don’t you go and ask your sister? I heard she’s making money now.”

"She's still your own sister, after all. Let bygones be bygones and move on. Now think about it, why did you hold a grudge against a child? It's just a broken bracelet."

Sun Yang went into the kitchen, his lips pursed, seemingly lost in thought.

Meanwhile, Mingjing was walking through the village. Just as she was about to reach home, she saw several men in green uniforms walking towards her in the distance. Ming Xingwang followed behind them, like a lackey.

"Mingjing, you're in trouble!" Ming Xingwang said smugly. "Do you know why the police are looking for you?"

"Looking for me?" Mingjing looked at the policeman with confusion.

The policeman turned and glared at Ming Xingwang. "You can go now."

Ming Xingwang left dejectedly, and the policeman turned back and asked, "Are you Ming Jing?"

"Um, is there something you need?"

"Someone has reported you for illegally fishing with equipment. Please come back with us and explain yourself," the young man said seriously.

Mingjing blinked, somewhat confused.

Was she illegally fishing?

"Young lady, you look quite young. Where are your family members? Come back with us and we'll explain things clearly before we come back."

The old policeman was kind.

Mingjing straightened her back and said angrily, "Do you have any evidence? If not, then arrest me! I'm going to file a complaint against you!"

The older policeman continued with a smile, "Young lady, we invited you back to ask what exactly happened. I heard you caught a lot of shrimp that day?"

Yes, there is.

Mingjing was surprised.

Is beachcombing illegal?

The old policeman recounted the events to Mingjing.

A week ago, fishermen spotted an illegal fishing boat at sea that was using stun guns and poisoned bait to catch fish and shrimp, mainly lobsters.

The fishermen returned and reported the incident to the police. While the police were investigating, a man came to the police and reported that the police had taken a lot of wrasse, all of them quite large, and had made a lot of money.

“Yes, I picked it up on the beach, everyone knows that,” Mingjing exclaimed.

What's the point of beachcombing if you don't collect seafood?

“We’ve asked them all. The fishermen said they found some, but not many. And since you were the first one there, we have reason to suspect that you’re trying to find witnesses to give you an alibi.”

The young police officer spoke with a hostile tone.

Mingjing flew into a rage upon hearing this. "I can go with you, but if not, you must apologize to me in front of the villagers!"

"Young lady, we are handling this case according to the law. You are a suspect now and have no right to negotiate with me!"

The young man was rude, and the older policeman reprimanded him, "Xiao Wang! She's not a criminal, she's just a child. Watch your attitude!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Mingyue ran over and was startled to see the police. She asked timidly, "Sister, what happened?"

Mingjing, afraid of worrying her parents, calmly said, "It's okay. They asked me to identify the criminal. I'm going to the police station. Don't tell Mom and Dad."

"If you need anything, go to my godfather; he'll definitely be able to save me."

After saying that, she turned to the old policeman and said, "Uncle, I'm not young anymore, I'm capable of explaining things clearly, so please don't go looking for my parents."

"They don't know about this. I called them here. Asking them won't help. Let's go."

Mingjing remained calm as if nothing had happened, and followed the two onto the boat at the dock.

Mingjing was sandwiched between two men in green uniforms on the ship, and she was in a terrible predicament.

"Young lady, you handle things with clear logic, and you don't seem to be a teenager. How old are you this year?"

The old policeman, feeling bored, asked a question.

"Fifteen, don't think I'm watching you too closely. I haven't done anything wrong," Mingjing said, moving closer to the window.

The old policeman didn't say anything, but just shook his head to himself.

Upon arriving at the town's police station, the officers were taken to the interrogation room.

"Tell me, how did you commit the crime, and who were your accomplices?" the young policeman asked immediately.
