After Su He returned, she waited for the city bureau's investigation results. However, perhaps because Niu Lili's rural area was quite far away, although Song Minghui said he would investigate as soon as possible, there was no news for more than half a month.

As the weather gradually gets warmer, the body will decompose if it is not buried soon, so the Niu family is very anxious, and Aunt Lü goes to the city bureau to make trouble every few days.

And Niu Lili's story spread far and wide in the area.

Many people are talking about it, and of course, most of them are saying that she brought it on herself and that she was punished by heaven for all the bad things she did.

The Niu family was not only angry but also ashamed after hearing this. Aunt Lü went out every day to curse, and all the gossips were scolded by her.

Even some people who hadn't spoken out suffered unjustly; Aunt Lü felt that everyone was a bad person.

Now everyone avoids her.

This also made others have a worse impression of the Niu family, and even Grandpa Niu's reputation suffered a lot.

After all, there are plenty of gossipers these days, and no one can control what others say. In other people's eyes, Aunt Lü's tendency to make enemies everywhere is at Uncle Niu's behest.

So people started to have opinions about Grandpa Niu.

The happiest person among them was Grandpa Ma.

He thought that when Grandpa Niu lost the support of the people, it would be time for Grandpa Ma to take over.

However, before Grandpa Ma could take over, the investigation into Niu Lili's case finally yielded results.

The murderer has been caught.

Everyone was very concerned about this case, so when they learned that the murderer had been caught, everyone in the compound, including Su He, curiously gathered around the Niu family's door, wanting to ask them questions.

To everyone's surprise, the Niu family kept their doors tightly shut.

Finally, Grandpa Ma took the lead and knocked on the door. After a while, Grandpa Niu, with slightly red eyes and almost completely white hair, came out.

He paused for a moment when he saw so many people at the door, then asked, "Is there something you need?"

Grandpa Ma explained, "We heard that the murderer who killed our niece has been caught, and we want to find out what happened, how the bad guy was sentenced, and whether he was shot. We also want to seek justice for our niece."

Grandpa Niu listened with a complicated expression, and finally sighed and said, "Thank you all for your concern. Although the murderer has been caught, the verdict has not yet been handed down, so let's not talk about it for now. Everyone, please go home. My family also needs some time to calm down."

After he finished speaking, he closed the door, leaving the others looking at each other in bewilderment.

Su He felt that Grandpa Niu's attitude was strange. He didn't seem happy or relieved at all about catching the murderer, and something felt off.

Everyone else felt the same way.

This made everyone even more curious, since they all wanted to know why the murderer killed people.

But for some reason, no news came out. Su He was too embarrassed to ask the Municipal Bureau, since the Criminal Investigation Brigade looked very busy, and she didn't want to bother them out of curiosity.

Soon enough, Su He and the others' curiosity was satisfied.

Because Grandpa Ma somehow found out that the case would be heard in court on the weekend, and the audience could come to watch it live.

Upon hearing this, Su He became even more curious. Was it really possible to do this now?

Upon further inquiry, it turned out to be true; some schools even organized students to go see it together.

Many neighbors in the courtyard were quite interested, and upon hearing the news, they immediately decided to go and see it.

Su He was the same. On the day of the court hearing, not only did she go, but she also brought Grandma Su with her, leaving Grandpa Su at home to take care of the children.

As for Grandpa Niu's family, for some reason, they looked very unhappy when they learned that everyone was going to visit them.

But there was no way to change their minds.

So that afternoon, Su He and his neighbors went to the court together.
