When social terror becomes the favorite of the police

Chapter 277 Going home for the New Year
When Lin Xiaoyan learned that the family of the elderly woman she had met yesterday was alright, she was already on her way home.

Yesterday, when she encountered that older woman, what she "saw" was a murder case.

After stealing the items, the thief did not leave, but instead slashed the wrists of each of the three family members.

When they were discovered by their neighbors the next day, all three members of the family had died from excessive blood loss.

She told He Qi'an about it, but when He Qi'an took her statement, the thief did not show any motive to kill her.

Lin Xiaoyan didn't know the reason; perhaps the thief was suddenly seized by a urge to kill...

The only good news for them was that they discovered from the thief that this was a gang operation.

This gang's modus operandi differs from that of other gangs.

Because their gang is quite large!

This group had a clear division of labor, with specific people going to various places to scout out suitable households for the operation.

Another group consists of people with legitimate jobs who are scattered throughout high-end shopping malls, searching for targets.

Then, specialized personnel will approach the target or stake out the location to see if there is an opportunity to act.

If they can move, they will send people to mark the area with special markers.

Finally, a person specifically tasked with stealing enters to steal the goods...

This case directly attracted the attention of police forces in various regions, leading to stricter control over their respective jurisdictions.

At the same time, we will take this opportunity to crack down on all kinds of thieves and investigate whether there are any gangs behind the crimes.

If these gangs mature, the harm they will cause to society will be enormous.

……

Lin Xiaoyan didn't pay any more attention to the above matters; she, Nanxi, and her brother finally arrived home.

After a day and a half of driving, with a stopover in Feishi for an overnight rest, Lin Hao and Nanxi took turns driving, and the frequent traffic jams left all three of them in a very bad mental state.

However, as soon as they got home, they immediately perked up.

Lin Hao went straight home to see his dear wife.

Lin Xiaoyan and Nanxi returned to their parents' home.

Lin's parents warmly welcomed Nanxi's arrival.

Before returning, Lin Xiaoyan told her family that Nanxi would also be coming back with her for the New Year.

Lin's parents knew that Nancy was someone the government had sent to protect their daughter, so they were very grateful and welcomed her.

Although Lin Hao didn't know why Nanxi kept following his sister, his sister never said anything or allowed him to ask, and his parents didn't object, so he didn't say anything more.

Back home, Lin Xiaoyan was dragged around by her mother to buy New Year's goods and go shopping.

Every day at home is lively and bustling.

During the Lunar New Year, everyone seemed carefree. When they went out, they greeted each other with smiles and blessings, no matter who they met.

Time flew by, and it was the evening of the 30th when Lin Xiaoyan finally had some free time after everyone had finished dinner.

"Mom, tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Are we going back to our hometown?" Lin Xiaoyan asked.

When Lin's mother heard about going back to her hometown, her face darkened. "No."

Seeing her mother's expression, Lin Xiaoyan asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin's mother: "It's all because of your aunt. She's been farming all the land in the house. I haven't asked her for anything, and she's still not satisfied. She even asked your father for money for seeds and fertilizer..."

After hearing this, Lin Xiaoyan said it was a long story.

"How much did the seeds and fertilizer cost in total?"

Lin's mother said speechlessly, "Three hundred yuan."

Lin Xiaoyan:………

“If I let someone else farm the land, even if they don’t pay me a certain amount a year, at least they’ll give me some food. But if I let your aunt farm it, there’s no food, no money, and she’ll even have to pay them out of her own pocket!”

"I live here now, far away from your aunt, it's very peaceful!"

When we lived in our hometown, your dad and I would argue all the time about their family matters.

Last year was your brother's first year of marriage, so he went back to his hometown for the Spring Festival. This year, I asked your sister-in-law, and she said she didn't want to go back for the Spring Festival either.

Let's go out for a walk tomorrow and not go back. That way, we won't have to see your aunt and she'll start arguing and making us angry.

Speaking of her aunt, Lin Xiaoyan sighed inwardly.

The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been difficult to manage. Although the Lin family does not have a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship, they do have sisters-in-law!

The relationship between sisters-in-law is also extremely difficult to manage.

Lin's father has an older brother and an older sister. His sister married far away and they basically have no contact.

I only have one older brother. We got along very well when we were little, but things have changed since he got married.

It's just because Uncle Lin's wife is not only a bit shrewish, but also loves to take advantage of others.

She wanted to take everything for herself, and Lin's father didn't object to it, but his aunt preferred to value her brothers from her maternal family more.

In short, after Lin's mother married into the family, she was often bullied by her sisters-in-law.

When it comes to talking about it, he's full of resentment.

“I’ve been discussing with your dad recently that when you get married, we won’t tell your uncle and aunt. We’ll let them go when you come back for the homecoming ceremony.”

When Lin Xiaoyan heard her mother mention marriage, she felt awkward and didn't know how to respond.

"What marriage? It's still a long way off. Why bring this up so early..."

Upon hearing this, Lin's mother frowned. "So early? Xiao He called your father a few days ago and said that his family wanted to come over to visit, meet, and discuss your engagement."

"What?! What?! What?! What?!"

Lin Xiaoyan looked at her mother in disbelief, "Who? He Qi'an called my dad?!"

Lin's mother: "Oh, what's wrong? You don't know?"

Lin Xiaoyan: "I don't know! Why did he get my dad's phone number? He actually called my dad?!"

Looking at her daughter, Lin's mother asked seriously, "Yan Yan, do you like Xiao He? Do you want to marry him?"

Although your dad and I think he's a good person, we will definitely respect your choice.

He came to our house before, and he got our phone number from your dad. He also checks in on us from time to time when he's not busy.

"And before that, Xiao He also sent us specialties from Beijing, as well as some for your uncles and aunts..."

Hearing what her mother said, Lin Xiaoyan was stunned. She had no idea that He Qi'an had done so much...

"I...I don't know..." Lin Xiaoyan stammered.

Lin's mother looked at her daughter in surprise, "You didn't know that Xiao He sent us something?"

"do not know."

Seeing her daughter's bewildered expression, Lin's mother thought to herself, "This Xiao He is really something."

"So what do you think? Would you like Xiao He's family to come over and visit?" Lin's mother asked.

Lin Xiaoyan put the melon seeds in her hand into the plate, looking somewhat confused.

"I don't know either, it feels a bit too fast."

He told me about this when I left, but…”

Lin Xiaoyan looked at her mother, "Mom, isn't this too fast? We've only known each other for less than half a year..."
