Chapter 029 Jinjiang Debut
In Class 6, Grade 5 of Taoyuan Primary School, the little boy who had just spoken to Bai Mian on the microphone yesterday walked onto the podium. Because of the head teacher's vigorous promotion, he has now become a celebrity in the class. His classmates call him "Brother Matchmaker" when they see him. This is not a big deal. What concerns him most is that yesterday, his head teacher, Mr. Zheng, assigned him the task of writing an essay and asked him to go on stage and read his essay today.
The little boy stood on the podium, facing the whole class, took out a folded paper from his pocket, and read the beginning: "Hello, classmates, the title of my composition today is "Turning Danger into Safety", this composition is adapted from my personal experience..."
At this point, the little boy couldn't go on. He looked at the draft paper in front of him, not knowing how to continue. It turned out that he didn't write the composition yesterday. He just hurriedly tore off a piece of draft paper from his math notebook before class to get the job done.
Teacher Zheng looked at the little boy's expression and realized something was wrong. He walked up to check the paper in the boy's hand. Just when the boy was about to be exposed, the door of the classroom suddenly opened and the principal walked in with a group of police officers.
Xiao Chen from the Qingshui Town Police Station showed his ID and said to Zheng Shuyuan:
"Hello, Zheng Shuyuan, right? We now suspect that you are involved in a murder case thirty years ago. Please go back with us and cooperate with the investigation."
As soon as Zheng Shuyuan saw the police uniforms on these people, he began to feel frightened. When he heard that they were investigating a case from thirty years ago, he instantly realized that it was him who had killed Tang Li and someone had discovered it. The punishment that was thirty years overdue had finally come.
The usually dignified head teacher was now trembling on the stage. The principal noticed that his pants had changed color. Upon closer inspection, he found that he had actually peed his pants in public.
Zheng Shuyuan instinctively wanted to escape but was pinned to the ground by a group of policemen. Xiao Chen handcuffed him, and two policemen held Zheng Shuyuan from behind and escorted him out of the classroom.
Zheng Shuyuan took a last look back at the podium where he had stood for half his life. He knew that once he left, he would never come back.
After they left, the little boy holding the draft paper immediately slipped back to his seat. He sat down and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling very lucky. This time he had really "turned the danger into safety."

"Any progress? How's the investigation going?" asked Brother Lame.
Weng Xuhua hung up the phone and announced to everyone: "The results of the investigation are out. Zheng Shuyuan is the real murderer who killed Tang Li!"
Upon hearing the news, the people in the store cheered. After the cheers, several people sat together, and Weng Xuhua told everyone the details of the police investigation:
"The police conducted a paternity test on the skeleton and the Tang family members, and the results showed that the skeleton was Tang Li who died that year."
"The hyoid bone and thyroid cartilage of this skeleton are both broken, which means that the cause of her death was neither drowning nor falling, but suffocation by being strangled by the neck."
"The most powerful evidence is Tang Li's teeth. She bit Zheng Shuyuan hard during the fight, and now Zheng Shuyuan's DNA was found in the gaps between her teeth."
"After the police took Zheng Shuyuan back to the police station, they found an old wound on his arm. The shape of the wound matched the shape of Tang Li's teeth. This means that Zheng Shuyuan was the last person who had a conflict with Tang Li before her death, and he was also the most likely murderer."
"Under police interrogation, Zheng Shuyuan confessed everything that happened back then, and he also gave his parents away. Now the police say his parents have committed the crimes of harboring a criminal and insulting a corpse, and they are investigating them together."
After Weng Xuhua finished speaking, he looked at his wife and daughter. The eyes of the three were filled with relief and joy. The haze that had weighed on this family for thirty years had finally dissipated, and their lives truly began.
Regarding this case, there are still some procedures that require the cooperation of the Weng family. Weng Xuhua and Gao Jin took Yin Yin to the police station, and left the store to Bai Mian and Que Ge to look after.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Lame Brother started the lottery machine. This time, the lottery machine stopped halfway through, and only a small ball rolled down alone.
"Really?" Lame Brother patted the lottery machine. "Dude, what's wrong with you? I modified it myself, and it broke after just a few days of use. You really don't give me face!"
There was a long queue of fans who came to have their fortunes told. When they saw the machine was broken, everyone became agitated. Lame Brother had to comfort everyone: "It's okay, it's okay. It won't work this time. Let me restart the machine and try again!"
"Wait -" Bai Mian stopped the lame brother, "Let's take this time as the standard."
"Ah?" Lame Brother didn't understand.
Bai Mian: "The machine is not broken. It is destined that I will have only one client today. Perhaps this client wants to bring a big case. Let's take this as the standard."
Lame Brother had no choice but to listen to Bai Mian. He picked up the ball, looked at the number on it, and shouted loudly: "Number 73, who is number 73?"
A man and a woman raised their hands high, the others dispersed in disappointment, and the man and woman walked into the store.
The man put his arm around the woman's waist, carefully protecting her belly. The woman walked slowly to the table. Although the woman had a very thin waist, her posture showed that she was a pregnant woman.
Sure enough, the man started talking as soon as he sat down:
"Master, hello, my name is Shi Xingye, and this is my wife Li Mo. We have been married for three years. Recently, my wife was found to be pregnant. We would like to ask..."
"Hey, wait a minute," Cripple interrupted the man, "You guys don't want to check the gender, do you? This is not allowed, it's illegal!"
The man waved his hand and laughed, "Look at what you are thinking. What era is it now? How could we have such thoughts? For the two of us, no matter whether the child is a boy or a girl, as long as the child is safe and sound, that's all that matters. So, we came to Qingshui Town to find Master Bai just to ask about the fate of this child in his future life and whether there will be any great disasters."
After hearing this, Bai Mian placed his hand on Li Mo's wrist and quietly felt her pulse.
After a moment, Bai Mian raised his head alertly:
"Tell me, where did this child come from?"
