Upon hearing that the person was looking for her, Qin Xiaoxiao promptly showed a look of confusion.

"Comrades, what can I do for you?"

The police officer had sharp eyes and immediately noticed the doubt in Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes.

Where were you last night?

Qin Xiaoxiao was even more confused, "Last night? What time was it? I got home after six o'clock in the evening, and before I got home I was with our neighbor..."

I haven't gone out since I got home; I've been staying home taking care of the kids.

Qin Xiaoxiao stopped halfway through her sentence. The police knew what was going on, since the Wang family had a grudge against Qin Xiaoxiao before reporting the incident to the police. Otherwise, they wouldn't have come to Qin Xiaoxiao. They also had a general understanding of the reason, but Wang Yazhi didn't tell the whole story. She only said that Qin Xiaoxiao had misunderstood her.

The police were surprised to find that Qin Xiaoxin was quite nice; she had no intention of ruining Wang Yazhi's reputation or distorting the facts, and she didn't say anything when they came to question her.

The police officers' impression of Qin Xiaoxiao improved considerably, and their attitude became much gentler.

"Comrade Qin Xiaoxiao, did you not go anywhere after you got home last night?"

Qin Xiaoxiao nodded firmly, "I didn't go. After I got home, I had to take care of the child, clean the house, and do the child's laundry. How could I have time to go out? Besides, I wasn't in a good mood yesterday, so I wasn't in the mood to go out."

The police officer nodded. "Did you hear anything last night?"

Qin Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and shook her head. "I went to bed very late last night. I felt quite wronged. I talked to my husband for a long time before I fell asleep. I remember it was almost midnight when I fell asleep. My husband was already dozing off, and then I fell asleep too."

I'm a very heavy sleeper and usually can't be woken up. This morning, my husband had to call me for ages before I finally woke up. Then, after we got to my parents' house, I went back to sleep and only woke up a little while ago.

Grandma Qin, Ma Dahua, and Su Yun nodded in agreement, "That's right, my granddaughter just woke up."

The three of them said this, but their eyes had already glanced at Qin Xiaoxiao, "Were you wronged yesterday? What happened?"

Qin Xiaoxiao waved her hand dismissively at the three of them, "It's nothing, don't overthink it."

Seeing that Qin Xiaoxiao wouldn't say anything, the three of them decided not to ask any further questions for the time being and planned to interrogate her again when they got back.

Since the two families lived so close, news of Wang Yazhi's affair had already reached this area. The chatty aunties didn't mention it because Qin Xiaoxiao was there and they didn't want to gossip about them in front of her. But when they saw that the three women, including Old Mrs. Qin, seemed unaware of what was going on, the aunties got excited and quickly explained the situation.

The police also wanted to know what happened yesterday. They couldn't just listen to what Wang Yazhi and her family had to say; they also needed to hear what the public had to say.

So yesterday, the story about Wang Yazhi's image collapsing, her two-timing, and her attempt to seduce the Qin family's son-in-law was brought up again.

The police officers learned the truth from the old woman, and their opinion of Wang Yazhi changed.

I used to feel sorry for her, but now...

slut!

The police officer was angry, but he became even more suspicious of Qin Xiaoxiao.

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't hold back either, showing off her martyr's children's certificates and the "Advanced Individual" title she received after the Tangcheng earthquake last year. Not to be outdone, Old Mrs. Qin went home and showed off the discharge certificates of Qin Aiguo, Qin Feng, Qin Hai, Qin Min, Qin Ye, and Qin Wei.

Not content with just showing off these, Old Mrs. Qin proudly declared, "Now my second grandson works in your public security department, and my third grandson is still in the army. He wrote to me a few days ago saying that he has become a company commander. At the end of the year before last, my youngest grandson was also sent to the army. All the men in our Qin family are former soldiers."

The older women around had already heard the news, but hearing about it was nothing compared to the shock of seeing these dazzling discharge certificates.

Several police officers respectfully examined each veteran's certificate, especially Qin Aiguo's; just by looking at the cover, one could tell it was something special.

The police officers exchanged glances and then respectfully returned the discharge certificates to Old Mrs. Qin.

"I'm sorry, we didn't know you were the child of a martyr, and that your whole family were veterans. By the way, is your brother also a policeman?"

Qin Xiaoxiao nodded, "It's nothing. My brother just arrived at your city bureau. I think he's some kind of team leader now, but I'm not too sure. I rarely ask about my brother's affairs."

Just then, Yang Tianzhen, who had gotten up even later than Qin Xiaoxiao, skipped out the door. Seeing a row of police officers standing outside, she blinked and suddenly burst into tears.

"Waaah... Grandma, did something happen to Qin Wei? Why are there so many police officers?"

Grandma Qin and Qin Xiaoxiao turned around and saw Yang Tianzhen's tears, which made them speechless.

Su Yun had no choice but to step forward and reassure Yang Tianzhen, "It's not Second Brother, they're here to see Xiao Xiao."

Upon hearing that they were looking for Qin Xiaoxiao, Yang Tianzhen immediately stopped crying, blinked, and looked at Qin Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, what's wrong? Why are so many police officers looking for you? What good deed have you done this time? Didn't you run out of money?"

Yang Tianzhen thought Qin Xiaoxiao had donated something again, and the police had come to praise her.

Qin Xiaoxiao felt helpless about her second sister-in-law. Her name and personality were a perfect match; her naivety was infuriating.

"No, I don't know why they came. I just cooperated when they asked me. The rest is none of my business."

Yang Tianzhen tilted her head and thought for a moment, then nodded, "You're right, Grandma, I'm hungry, I want to eat."

Grandma Qin rolled her eyes inwardly and said helplessly to Yang Tianzhen, "The food is in the pot, have your mother get it for you."

Ma Dahua shoved her eldest grandson into Su Yun's arms, quickly got up, and pulled Yang Tianzhen back into the house.

Grandma Qin sighed inwardly.

That's only because she's her granddaughter-in-law. If it were her own granddaughter, she would beat her eight times a day.

Looking at Qin Xiaoxiao beside her, Old Mrs. Qin became worried again.

This eldest granddaughter didn't get up much earlier than others.

Sigh, it's all debt!

The entire group of police officers were stunned.

A family where everyone served in the military and has since retired, with one member still in the public security system and two in the military, who would believe that a criminal would emerge from such a family?

The neighbors around her also looked at Old Mrs. Qin with envy.

No wonder the old lady is always so cheerful. She's so confident. With such outstanding sons and grandsons, how could she not be happy? What worries could she possibly have?

Several police officers then asked Qin Xiaoxiao if Su Lu had heard anything the previous night. Qin Xiaoxiao said she didn't know and that her husband hadn't mentioned it.

The police officers quickly finished their questioning and then had Qin Xiaoxiao sign the papers.

After signing the papers, several police officers bid farewell to Grandma Qin in a gentle manner, telling Qin Xiaoxiao not to leave for the time being, as they might come back to ask her questions.

Qin Xiaoxiao said she knew and would cooperate with the police, but she didn't ask a single question about what had happened. This made the police officers think more highly of her.

As expected of someone from a family with military backgrounds, she knew not to ask questions she shouldn't. She remained calm and composed, clearly indicating that the Wang family's theft had nothing to do with her.

That's what I think, but we'll have to investigate to find out for sure. We can't conclude that Qin Xiaoxiao is innocent just based on this.
