Chapter 50 Constable 8
◎In this world, nothing is more precious than yourself! ◎
That night, Captain Zhu brought a team of detectives and knocked on the door again.
Yan Yue was already prepared. According to Captain Qin, Yang Jin hid his body in order to cover up his crime, and it would be difficult to find it just by oral testimony. Yan Yue asked Captain Qin to lead the way, and she was responsible for guiding the way.
In the morning, Yan Yue went to burn incense for Zhou Lin, hoping to say some soft words to ease the relationship, but Zhou Lin continued to talk to her with a smile, as if he had completely forgotten the unpleasantness of last night.
Yan Yue was relieved at first, then secretly delighted, and then fell into an uncomfortable mood. She whispered to Jiang Lao: "I didn't expect Zhou Lin to be so forgetful. I really shouldn't argue with him anymore. You must remind me in the future that I have to give in to him."
Zhou Lin:? ? ?
Okay, okay, I have generously disclosed this matter. You think I am out of my mind, right? !
Even though he felt very aggrieved, he still stayed by her side and followed her.
Xiaobai also insisted on following, and even if he was locked in the house, he would squeeze through the window and jump out. Yan Yue had no choice but to take him with her.
Although its leg wound was torn that night, it had already scabbed over again. Yan Yue still felt sorry for it and wanted to hug it with her uninjured arm. Bai Chen was reluctant to let her suffer, so he finally had an idea and got on to Captain Zhu.
Just like that, a little white dog squatted in the elbow of Captain Zhu, waving its little paws proudly and pointing in a direction.
After many twists and turns, the group finally arrived at a somewhat desolate three-way intersection.
There used to be countless small family-run dyeing workshops around here. There was a well at the intersection of the three-way intersection, and those dyeing workshops relied on this well for many years. Later, the well dried up and the dyeing factories moved away one after another, leaving the place somewhat deserted.
Seeing Constable Qin standing next to the well, Yan Yue stared at the well mouth in surprise and said, "It can't be..."
Captain Zhu looked at her in surprise, but said nothing. He only asked in a trembling voice, "In this... well?"
Seeing Yan Yue nod, Captain Zhu's eyes immediately turned red. He immediately found a rope, picked the thinnest and smallest constable to go down into the well, and pulled up Constable Qin's body.
Constable Qin was thrown in headfirst, which probably didn't go smoothly. His arms and one leg were deformed, his neck was twisted the most severely, and his face was almost facing his back, and he also had serious abrasions.
Fortunately, it is still cold today, and the body is hard and has not rotted much.
Seeing their former colleague die in such a tragic way, several of the seven-foot-tall men couldn't help but shed tears. The young constable tried to straighten the twisted head and deformed limbs, but failed after trying for a long time, and finally couldn't help crying.
Constable Qin stood there helplessly, and finally shed tears as the other party burst into tears.
"I will never be able to work with them again..."

The next day, Yan Yue came to the lobby of the county government as a "victim".
She said that she went to the suburbs to collect chestnuts a few days ago and met the flower thief Yang Jin, who intended to molest her. Constable Qin, who was passing by, stepped forward and risked his life to save Yang Jin. He fought with Yang Jin and fell off a cliff, dying together with him.
This was the excuse she had agreed upon with Captain Zhu.
Yang Jin was left with only a rabbit corpse and was unable to hand in his work. So it could be said that Yang Jin's body was taken away by wild beasts, and only Constable Qin's body was found. It can also "clear the name" of Constable Qin, as he was wronged by Yang Jin.
The two young detectives said that they dozed off and fell asleep on the night Yang Jin was arrested, so they could not prove that Yang Jin was in prison that night.
The young constable was beaten with a stick and fined monthly salary, and Constable Qin was finally cleared of suspicion and became a hero who sacrificed himself to save others and was chivalrous and courageous. It was a happy result for everyone.
Yan Yue gave Constable Qin's savings to the two young constables and also bought him a high-quality coffin.
With the permission of the county magistrate, Constable Zhu set up a mourning hall for Constable Qin outside the county government office. He said that Constable Qin had lost his family, and he wanted people to remember him so that he wouldn't feel lonely when he left.
The matter of the flower thief had been a hot topic for more than a month, but it was finally resolved. The people of Linjiang City were grateful to Constable Qin for his selflessness and fearlessness, and they came to pay tribute to him spontaneously.
After nightfall, Constable Qin arrived in front of the mourning hall. Only when he looked at the people who came to pay their respects did he learn everything. He burst into tears and kept saying, "How could we have deserved such kindness?"
When Captain Zhu saw Yan Yue whispering to the void, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Miss, is Lao Qin here?"
Yan Yue wanted to deny it at first, but she was afraid that since she could see ghosts, she would be classified as a demon by those officials.
Captain Zhu said, "Miss, you don't have to hide it from me. When you stood in front of the well the night before, you asked half a question with a puzzled look on your face, and I guessed it. It was Lao Qin's spirit that was leading the way for us, right?"
As expected of an experienced constable, Yan Yue was able to detect the slightest hint of something. He did not deny it and nodded slightly.
Captain Zhu asked with red eyes: "He, must have suffered a lot?"
Yan Yue said: "Fortunately, Yang Jin broke his neck directly, which was a quick relief. His arms and legs were broken when he was thrown into the well later."
Captain Zhu blamed himself and said, "It's all my fault. I didn't protect him well..."
Yan Yue sighed, "Yang Jin is a monster. Even if you were by his side at the time, you would have only wasted your life. He is very grateful to you for clearing his name and arranging these things for him. He has thanked you again and again!"
Captain Zhu felt ashamed: "We didn't do anything. It was Miss Yue who gave him all the credit, which allowed him to get publicity and leave in glory."
Yan Yue smiled and said, "Originally, he was the one who asked me for help. Otherwise, how would I know that Yang Jin was the flower thief?"
As the two were talking, they suddenly saw the master and mistress of the You family, along with Miss You II, rushing over.
Everyone else was lighting incense sticks and bowing three times, but Second Miss You knelt before the coffin and kowtowed three times with great solemnity. After he kowtowed, he refused to get up and lay on the ground crying. Even Mrs. You couldn't help him up.
"I should have reported it to the police... I should have reported it to the police earlier..."
Master You had a complicated expression, and said to Captain Zhu and Yan Yue, "Don't blame my daughter. I was confused for a moment, and I didn't report it to the police because I was afraid of affecting my daughter's reputation. We, the whole family, are sorry to Captain Qin..."
Yan Yue relayed Captain Qin's words: "A daughter's reputation is important. Captain Qin will definitely understand."
She helped Miss You Er up and comforted her, "Captain Qin is not afraid of life and death, just to let the girls in Linjiang City not have to live in fear and sleep peacefully at night. You must live a good life with Captain Qin's wish!"
Miss You Er cried bitterly and nodded her head in agreement, saying that she would set up a tablet for Captain Qin and offer sacrifices to him morning and evening.
After everything was settled, Yan Yue thought that Constable Qin's obsession should have been resolved, but he still didn't feel "relaxed".
He didn't know what else he was obsessed with, so Yan Yue asked him what he wanted to do most now. He thought for a long time and said, "I want to apologize to Miss Xu."
The girl from the Xu family was the one who was raped by the flower thief on the night Yang Jin was captured by him.
Constable Qin believed that if he had not angered the flower thief, the flower thief would not have gone through such a stunt to "clear suspicion" and harmed the innocent girl from the Xu family.
The girl from the Xu family had already been engaged, but because of this incident, the man broke off the engagement. She has been crying at home all day for the past two days.
Yan Yue immediately decided to visit the Xu family.
As it was getting late, no one came to open the door after I knocked for a long time.
Constable Qin had just died and was still following the ethics of his lifetime. However, Zhou Lin floated into the Xu family yard without any sense of martial ethics, stirring up a gust of evil wind. The wind blew away things, making a clanging sound. Finally, Xu's father came to open the door.
Upon hearing the purpose of Yan Yue's visit, Xu's father was still hesitant, fearing that his daughter would be further upset. But then they heard Yan Yue hurriedly tell them that their daughter was hanging herself in the corridor!
Yan Yue ran and followed Zhou Lin's instructions to the side yard of the Xu family. Even Xu's father couldn't catch up with her.
With the experience with Chu Zhi, Yan Yue rescued Miss Xu smoothly.
On the way here, Zhou Lin was still talking about what she wanted to do, but as soon as she arrived at Xu's house, she ran into a girl from the Xu family who was about to hang herself.
By chance, he saved another life. Zhou Lin felt that Yan Yue seemed to have some kind of opportunity. No matter where he went, he helped people, animals, and ghosts.
The person was saved, but the heart could not be saved.
Miss Xu cried and shouted: "Why did you save me! My innocence has been lost and my engagement has been broken off. What's the point of me living?! Let me die! Let me die..."
Mother Xu cried loudly: "My son! You are trying to dig my heart out!"
Xu's father also advised with tears in his eyes: "Why are you afraid of breaking off the engagement? Even if you never get married, Daddy can still support you!"
Miss Xu tried to break free from her parents' hands, her voice desperate: "Do you want me to stay at home and hide away from everyone for the rest of my life? I don't want to! Dad, Mom, let me go! Let me die! Let me die..."
Constable Qin blamed himself: "It's all my fault..."
"I have clearly caught the thief..."
"Pa!" A crisp slap hit Miss Xu's face, and the three crying people were all stunned.
Yan Yue suppressed her rising anger and could not help cursing, "What's the point of losing your innocence? Constable Qin even lost his life in order to catch that flower thief! He risked his life to fight the thief to the death, and this is how you repay him?"
Captain Qin was so scared that he shook his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no! Miss Yue, please don't be like this! She is in a bad mood right now, please try to persuade her..."
"What are you trying to persuade me for?"
Yan Yue was furious, and even scolded Captain Qin: "You are dead, and you still care about keeping her well! But what about her? An innocent man who doesn't deserve food or drink, and a bastard man, let her ignore her elderly parents and let her die here!"
"I shouldn't have come! I let her commit suicide. In her next life, she will be reborn as a turtle, and she will just shrink into her shell when faced with trouble!"
She cursed at the void, which really scared the three people from the Xu family.
Father Xu asked in a trembling voice: "Miss, is it..."
Yan Yue no longer concealed anything and confessed directly: "It was the spirit of Constable Qin who came to me and said that he felt very guilty for not catching the flower thief in time, causing the girl to suffer a murderous hand. He wanted me to express his apology on his behalf and comfort Miss Xu."
Miss Xu burst into tears again. Yan Yue looked at her and said, "Originally he wanted me to say that it was all his fault and that he harmed you. But I think it's not his fault, and it's not your fault either!"
"The culprit is obviously that flower thief and your cowardly and selfish fiancé!"
"You were already enduring rumors and gossips, and he was afraid of being talked about and criticized, so he made things worse by breaking off the engagement with you! Even if you marry such a bastard, can you trust him? No matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, he will push you out!"
"The flower thief has already paid with his life, and you have seen the true face of your fiancé through this incident. You should be thankful that you escaped this disaster, and have nothing to do with such a selfish and cold-hearted person in the future. How can you still risk your life for him?"
"Miss Xu, I hope you will always remember that in a place you can't see, there were people who fought for you and for girls like you to live a stable life, fearless of life and death, and risked their lives!"
"What about innocence, manliness, and reputation? In this world, nothing is more precious than yourself!"
"You must love yourself well, so that you can be worthy of those who have done everything for you!"
Miss Xu looked around in the void, her eyes finally falling on her parents' haggard faces. She finally fell into her mother's arms and burst into tears.
