Chapter 1
In Jinhai City, a human trafficking case that had been shelved for several months was finally solved today.
The police broke into the suspect's lair and rescued several children who were detained there.
The children were locked up in the factory for a long time, without seeing the sun, and their faces showed an unhealthy paleness.
The little girl at the end of the team looked no more than five years old. She was listless and walked in a limp manner, as if she might fall to the ground at any time.
Qin Ye, captain of the criminal investigation team of Jinhai City Bureau, noticed the little girl and put down the walkie-talkie in his hand. He walked up to her, squatted down, and said softly, "Little friend, let the policewoman carry you away, okay?"
The little girl tilted her head, stared at her for a long time, and shook her head seriously: "Not auntie, but sister! Sister Qin Ye! My mother said that Sister Qin Ye is a super powerful female police officer. I remember! I have seen sister speak on TV!"
The girl's childish words made everyone present laugh.
The laughter relieved the fatigue of the police officers who had been working on the case for many days. Everyone started talking and making jokes about Qin Ye.
"Captain Qin, you are now the super female detective in the eyes of all the people in Jinhai!"
"Don't compete with me, Sister Xiaoye is my goddess!"
"A 100% case-solving rate since I started working. Who understands this?!!"
In the police force, no one fails to admire Qin Ye when his name is mentioned.
The police officers under Qin Ye were naturally no exception, and they all expressed their admiration for Qin Ye through jokes.
The police officers' stories became more and more mysterious.
Qin Ye was so embarrassed that he couldn't listen any longer and quickly corrected him: "My crime solving rate is not 100%. Don't brag. If it gets out, people will laugh at you!"
"Hey, there's no difference between 99% and 100%, Captain Qin, don't be so modest~"
The female police officer under his command hugged Qin Ye affectionately and rubbed him again and again, "A wanted warrant has been issued nationwide. Wen Qun is now a Class A wanted criminal. He can't hide for too long."
Wen Qun and Qin Ye were graduates of the same police academy. When problems arose within the police force, she was the first person to suspect Wen Qun.
Unfortunately, just as she found solid evidence, Wen Qun got wind of it from somewhere, killed the two accompanying police officers, snatched the guns and fled.
She won't feel at ease until Wen Qun is caught.
Qin Ye picked up the little girl. Her right eyelid twitched wildly without any warning, making her feel a little uneasy.
In line with the principle of quick victory, she interrupted her colleagues' laughter and said, "Okay, let's go back and talk if you have anything to say. Now quickly clean up the scene and we will be back soon."
The police officers immediately became serious and quickened their work.
Qin Ye held the little girl in his arms, looked around the scene again, made sure there were no mistakes, and prepared to take her into the car.
At this moment, behind her, there was a sudden sharp noise of tires rubbing against the ground.
She turned her head and saw Wen Qun, who had been pursued by the police for many days, driving a red Audi A6 with the accelerator pedal to the floor and heading straight towards her.
"Team Qin!"
"Sister Xiaoye, be careful!!!"
A second before the car hit Qin Ye, the only thing she could do was to throw the little girl in her arms to her colleague.
Bang--
With a loud bang, Qin Ye felt his body become extremely light, as if he had turned into a light feather.
Her consciousness gradually faded, and before she closed her eyes, her gaze met Wen Qun in the car.
The other party bared his white teeth and smiled at her in a creepy way: "Let's go to hell together, Qin Ye."
…
"You are going to hell!!!"
Qin Ye cursed angrily.
She sat up suddenly from the bed, but did not feel any pain at all, as if the scene of her being hit to death by Wen Qun was just a dream.
"Ye Ye, are you awake? It's okay, don't be afraid, mom is here."
The voice of a strange woman came from far away.
The visitor lifted the door curtain, and the sunlight shone into the house, and Qin Ye's vision suddenly became clear.
Only then did she realize that this was not the dormitory where she usually rested.
The house was very old, with mud walls on all four sides covered with yellowed newspapers. The furnishings in the room were even simpler, with only a broken table with a missing leg and a half-open old cabinet.
At this moment, a memory that did not belong to her appeared in her mind intermittently.
Qin Ye learned from his memory that it was now the 1980s and the original owner of this body was also called Qin Ye, the most beautiful girl in Juexing Village.
The original owner was beautiful, but unfortunately her family was poor.
A few years ago, Qin's father was injured while working outside. The Qin family emptied out all their savings to save Qin's father's life. Qin's father's legs were paralyzed from then on, and he had to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
The original owner was spoiled, didn't like to work, and hated her parents for being incompetent.
The original owner's twin brother was a scoundrel. Every day he either stole things or wandered around the county, looking for fights with the scoundrels he disliked.
The Qin family barely survived on the few sporadic work points earned by Qin's mother.
The original owner was fed up with her life of poverty, and with her outstanding beauty, she got together with An Chuqiang, an educated youth who went to the countryside. An Chuqiang's home is in the provincial capital. The original owner hoped every day that An Chuqiang would take her to the provincial capital to live a good life in the future.
A few days ago, An Chuqiang was admitted to a medical university and finally got the opportunity to return to the city.
The original owner was very happy, thinking that the clouds had finally cleared and the moon appeared.
Unexpectedly, An Chuqiang just wanted to play with her and never thought of really taking her back to the city.
The original owner was not willing to suffer any loss, so she made an appointment with An Chuqiang by the river yesterday and begged him to take her to the provincial capital. When An Chuqiang refused to agree, she immediately turned hostile and said she would write a letter of accusation to the medical university and have An Chuqiang expelled from the school.
This really made An Chuqiang angry.
An Chuqiang became so angry that he pushed the original owner into the river while they were arguing. He packed up his things overnight and took a train back to the provincial capital.
The original owner couldn't swim and died in the water.
After being rescued by his uncle, the person in his body became the current Qin Ye.
Qin Ye accepted all the information, jumped out of bed, put on his shoes and got out of bed.
Mother Qin was shocked by her reaction. She thought she was going to look for An Chuqiang again, so she quickly grabbed her arm and said, "Ye Ye, don't go. An Zhiqing left yesterday! He is from the provincial capital, a college student who eats commercial grain. How could he really marry a country girl like you?"
Qin Ye looked at the wrinkled face of his mother and patiently explained: "I'm not looking for him, I'm going to report a crime. An Chuqiang wanted to kill me, and he pushed me into the river."
The original owner is dead, and An Chuqiang is indeed a murderer.
"You're talking nonsense again! I think you're possessed!"
Mother Qin was so anxious that she started speaking in dialect, holding onto her tightly and refusing to let go, "Your aunt and the others are all making fun of you, Ye Ye, please stop making trouble, okay?"
Qin Ye was extremely helpless.
She was an orphan in her previous life. Catching bad guys has always been her strong point, but she is totally not good at communicating with people.
Not to mention, the person who is forcibly pulling her now is the original body's mother.
Calculating the time, An Chuqiang has now returned to the provincial capital.
If we don't call the police, with the efficiency of handling cases in the 1980s, by the time the police arrive at An Chuqiang's home, An Chuqiang might have already run away.
Qin Ye couldn't persuade Qin's mother to let go. She had no choice but to twist her body back and forth, trying to pull her arm out of Qin's mother's hand.
But I don’t know whether it was because the original owner was too weak or because Qin’s mother was too strong.
Qin's mother's hands were like a pair of pliers. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free from Qin's mother's grip.
Seeing her struggling violently, Mother Qin became anxious and pulled her in with all her strength: "Ancestor! Can you please stop making trouble!"
Qin Ye was caught off guard, and as Qin's mother moved, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Her forehead hit the edge of the kang, causing her eyes to see stars due to the pain. Her head began to feel dizzy and she moaned uncontrollably from her throat.
"Oh, my Ye Ye! My Ye Ye!"
When Qin's mother saw blood oozing from Qin Ye's forehead, her voice became tearful.
She was afraid that her daughter would die from excessive bleeding. She didn't care whether the villagers would laugh at her. She staggered out of the yard and shouted at the top of her voice: "Hurry up, her aunt, please help our daughter Ye Ye to call a barefoot doctor. Ye Ye has bled a lot..."
In the room, Qin Ye listened to his mother's screams. He wanted to open his mouth to call her and tell her that he was fine, but his eyelids became heavier and heavier.
She held on to her last bit of consciousness, followed the original owner's memory, took out an iron box from the kang, took out the gauze in the box, and performed a simple hemostatic treatment on her forehead.
…
"I'm not saying anything bad about you, Ye Ye's mother, but you were too harsh! Our Ye Ye is a famous pretty girl in the area, and you actually disfigured her."
While Qin Ye was drowsy, he heard a woman scolding Qin's mother in a loud voice: "Just wait, when our Ye Ye wakes up, we'll see how she'll deal with you!"
Mother Qin had lost her previous toughness. She looked like an eggplant hit by frost. She said listlessly, "Her aunt, you are right. It's my fault. I used too much force and hurt Ye Ye."
As she spoke, Mother Qin covered her face and sobbed softly.
When the aunt saw Qin's mother crying, she felt that what she said made more sense.
She raised her neck, put on the posture of the head of the family, and started a new round of sermons: "How can you be a mother like this? If I hurt my daughter, how can I still live?! I will die in the yard."
Qin's mother repeated her aunt's words in a daze: "If anything happens to Ye Ye, I won't be able to live..."
"It was my fault that I didn't stand firmly."
Qin Ye listened to the increasingly strange conversation between his mother and his aunt, and forced himself to regain consciousness, interrupting their conversation, "It's none of my mother's business."
She repeated it twice before she called Qin's mother "Mom" with difficulty.
Mother Qin was stunned for a moment - this was the first time Ye Ye called her mother in these days.
She didn't bother to wipe the tears off her face, and quickly came over to look at Qin Ye: "Ye Ye, does your headache hurt?"
My aunt was also surprised.
This damn girl Qin Ye has always been close to her and hates her mother. What's going on now? Did he break his head?
The aunt rolled her eyes and continued to fan the flames: "Ye Ye, aunt knows that you are sensible, but we can't take everything on ourselves. Your mother said that she pushed you. When the barefoot doctor bandaged you, I saw it. Wow, there was a big bloody wound on your forehead! The doctor said that if you don't take good care of it, you will have a scar on your head!"
Qin Ye has always valued his appearance. Now that she has said this, she doesn't believe that Qin Ye won't make trouble with Qin's mother.
The aunt-in-law thought happily.
Qin Ye is used to dealing with criminals and has his own skills in identifying people.
The original body's aunt might be considered a scheming "smart person" in the village, but this little cleverness was completely insufficient in front of Qin Ye.
Qin Ye sat up, his sight gradually focused, his eyes slowly becoming clearer: "Aunt, you keep saying you're doing this for my own good. Why do I feel like you're encouraging my mother to commit suicide? I tell you, if you encourage someone to commit suicide, you'll be arrested by the police and put in jail!"
The villagers are simple and honest. Some of them have never left the village in their entire lives. They have only heard the word "going to jail" in plays.
Now, when she heard Qin Ye mention going to jail, her aunt was instinctively frightened, and her momentum weakened for no reason: "Ye Ye, what nonsense are you talking about? I just said it casually, I don't really want your mother to die."
"The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously."
Qin Ye was unwilling to let his aunt get away with it so easily. "I hope you won't say this kind of thing again. I'll say it again. I fell because I didn't stand firmly. It has nothing to do with my mother."
She narrowed her eyes, full of deterrence: "If I hear from the villagers in the future that my mother pushed me and makes her blame herself, then I will make trouble for my aunt."
When Qin's mother listened to Qin Ye's words, she felt like she was dreaming and started crying again, covering her face.
Finally, she made it to the end and she knew that Ye Ye would grow up sooner or later. In the past, if she accidentally bumped into Ye Ye, Ye Ye would beat her and scold her, and would fight with her.
This time, Ye Ye jumped into the river and was rescued with great difficulty. I'm afraid it's just like what the old people in the village said, she has seen through life and death and grew up overnight.
Unlike Qin's mother who was relieved, the eldest aunt's face turned ugly after hearing Qin Ye's words: "Qin Ye, you are really an ungrateful person! I treated you well before, but it was all in vain! Why don't you just die in the river!"
Qin's mother was of a gentle nature and usually did not dare to contradict her aunt.
But now her daughter was asking people to curse her, and she couldn't stand it anymore, so she started yelling, "Her aunt, how can you talk like that? How can you, as an elder, curse my Ye Ye?!"
"She was looking for death! Her uncle saw it with his own eyes. She jumped into the river crying. Before she jumped, she said that An Zhiqing didn't want her! She had lost her innocence and didn't want to live anymore."
The aunt showed disdain on her face and spat fiercely on the ground, "Her uncle shouldn't have saved her. The ungrateful person should have drowned in the river!"
Qin Ye listened to his aunt's words and raised his eyebrows with interest.
This is where things get interesting.
The original owner was clearly pushed into the river and drowned by An Chuqiang, but when the original owner's uncle told the story, it became that the original owner jumped into the river herself, and there were even a few extra "lines" that didn't fit the original owner's image at all.
Why did the original owner's uncle lie?
