I bring bad luck to my husband, you bring bad luck to your wife.

"Xiangxi, you've reminded me. Her husband is dead, and she hasn't even shown her face. That's very unusual."

At the same time, Yang Tongchuan was also worried. If this matter was really related to the Lin family, would it be possible to find out the truth of the case, given the relationship between Constable Wang and the Lin family?

Despite several days of investigation, the case has made little progress.

Lin, the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort), was a decent person. Instead of abandoning the matter and going home, he stayed at an inn in town, intending to wait for Dong Xingzhi's family to arrive before making any further plans.

"Tongchuan, you seem to be preoccupied these past few days. Have you discovered something?"

Officer Wang privately discussed the case with Yang Tongchuan.

"Officer Wang, I have a question. According to Chief Escort Lin, Lin Yujun and Dong Xingzhi had such a good relationship, so why hasn't she shown her face even once since her husband died so long ago? And with such a major event as her master's death, why hasn't her personal servant shown up? Aren't they afraid of being punished by their master later?"

"You mean the Lin family has a problem? Why didn't you say so earlier?" Officer Wang's expression suddenly turned serious.

"You know about my relationship with Lin Yujun. If I bring this up in public, people will inevitably suspect that I'm using my position for personal gain." Yang Tongchuan wanted to find an excuse to gloss over the matter.

"I understand. You go back first, and don't tell anyone about this. Let me think about it."

"Yes."

The next morning, Yang Tongchuan heard from the yamen runners who were on duty the night before that Constable Wang had led a group of men out of the city in the evening and had not yet returned.

"Brother Yang, do you know where they're going?"

"How would I know? I went home early last night," Yang Tongchuan said, feigning ignorance.

In his mind, however, he was calculating the time. The Dong family at the border should have already received the letter, and if they were to travel at full speed, it should arrive soon.

That afternoon, Constable Wang brought Lin Yujun back.

As for Dong Xingzhi's henchman, he was also carried back.

This guy really can't get up, but not because he's sick, but because he was beaten. His back is broken, and he's lying in bed barely able to go on.

Yang Tongchuan never expected that he would see this woman again in the dungeon.

Lin Yujun kept giggling after seeing Yang Tongchuan, laughing until tears streamed down her face, which looked particularly creepy.

"Officer Wang, I'd better avoid it."

"No need, you can stay and listen in. There are some details that I need you to verify."

Yang Tongchuan had no choice but to stay, even though he felt it was a difficult decision.

It turned out that Constable Wang had taken his men to patrol near Chief Escort Lin's house and, after inquiring, discovered that Chief Escort Lin had not told him the truth.

Lin Yujun and Dong Xingzhi did not have a good relationship.

When Lin Yujun first arrived at the border, she and Dong Xingzhi did indeed enjoy a period of blissful happiness together.

However, as the eldest daughter of a security escort agency, she still had a bit of a spoiled attitude.

Over time, she began to feel resentful and dissatisfied with her mother-in-law's strict rules and her husband's busy schedule.

The conflict erupted when she discovered that her husband had bought a house outside before their marriage and kept a house full of female slaves and male servants.

Dong Xingzhi lied to her, saying that these female slaves were all bought with death contracts, and after being trained, they would be given away as gifts and used to entertain clients.

But Lin Yujun wasn't stupid. After the marriage, all the concubines and young men she had sent away were hidden by Dong Xingzhi in that courtyard.

There's no cat in the world that doesn't get its hands dirty.

Some business partners would even send people to Dong Xingzhi as a return gift.

The worst time was when Dong Xingzhi didn't come home for two days. Lin Yujun led her men to the small courtyard and cornered Dong Xingzhi inside.

When the door opened, the two people on the bed were busy having fun.

Dong Xingzhi was so frightened that he almost broke his penis.

In an instant, the house was in complete chaos.

In the next room, a man ran away disheveled.

That was one of the medicinal herb merchants that Dong Xingzhi was entertaining this time.

This incident caused Dong Xingzhi to lose face in business circles.

The couple had a big fight, which led Lin Yujun to return to her parents' home.

Dong Xingzhi came here to do business, hoping to soften his stance and take Lin Yujun back with him.

After all, the Yue family, which ran a security escort agency, was still useful to him.

Unexpectedly, the two started arguing as soon as they met, before they could even exchange a few words.

At this moment, Chief Escort Lin stepped forward, wanting to speak with Dong Xingzhi alone.

Lin Yujun seized this opportunity and grabbed Dong Xingzhi's personal servant, wanting to ask Dong Xingzhi if he had been unruly while she was away from home.

The servant dared not tell the truth and could only deceive Lin Yujun. After Lin Yujun saw through his deception, she had him beaten up.

When Dong Xingzhi returned after chatting with his father-in-law, the servant had already been beaten to a pulp.

They called a doctor, but the doctor was powerless to help.

In a fit of anger, Dong Xingzhi abandoned the servant at the Lin family's residence, saying that whoever had broken him should take care of him. He then hired workers and left the Lin family with the fur coat.

Before leaving, he declared that he would return in half a month, and if Lin Yujun was still unwilling to go home with him by then, she could stay at her parents' house for the rest of her life.

"I haven't seen him since then," Lin Yujun said, finishing her account of what had happened.

"You've been staying home all this time and haven't gone out."

"Yes, I've been at home the whole time and haven't gone out."

"Then why didn't you come to identify the body immediately when the authorities informed you of Dong Xingzhi's death?"

"Father was afraid I would be upset, so he didn't let me come." Lin Yujun's lips curled slightly, her words perfectly tactful.

However, Yang Tongchuan felt that this matter must be related to Lin Yujun.

The Lin Yujun in front of him seemed to be a completely different person from the Lin Yujun that Yang Tongchuan knew.

The Lin Yujun in front of me seems to have gone somewhat insane.

After interrogating Lin Yujun, they went to see the servant who was on the verge of death.

He had fallen into a coma due to the high fever, and his wounds were all rotting. If it were summer, they would probably be infested with maggots by now.

The doctor took a look and said it would be within the next day or two.

Lin Yujun was taken home by Chief Escort Lin because there was no evidence to prove her involvement in the case.

The case has once again reached a stalemate.

Chief Constable Wang sent Yang Tongchuan and his men out to investigate the missing banknotes, hoping to frame the case as a murder for money.

Yang Tongchuan and his team investigated for several days without making any progress.

Just when they were all discouraged, people from the Dong family arrived.

Dong Xingzhi's younger brother, Dong Xingsheng, arrived. Upon arrival, he fainted from crying in the morgue of the government office and was carried out.

Contrary to their speculation that he was murdered for money, Dong Xingsheng insisted that his brother's death was definitely related to his sister-in-law, Lin Yujun.

"What's your basis for saying that?" Chief Constable Wang asked him.

"My sister-in-law isn't very bright. She doesn't dare to do anything every day, but she likes to cling to my brother and sleep with him. If my brother doesn't sleep with her for a day, she'll cause trouble." Dong Xingsheng spoke without restraint, not at all avoiding talking about his brother and sister-in-law's bedroom affairs.

"Ahem, you can't say things like that. That's your sister-in-law." Officer Wang stopped Dong Xingsheng from talking nonsense.

"It's true, my eldest brother told me this. He said my sister-in-law was afraid he would go out and mess around, so she would pester him day and night for sex. She couldn't refuse him, otherwise she would suspect him of doing bad things outside. In the end, my mother found out about this and even called my sister-in-law over to scold her. All the maids and nannies who serve my sister-in-law know about this." Dong Xingsheng's words shocked all the men present.

Some of the older yamen runners who knew the inside story would even smirk at Yang Tongchuan.

Yang Tongchuan regretted not asking for leave today.

"So you're saying your older brother's death is related to your sister-in-law? What evidence do you have?"

"My older brother's woman is pregnant." Dong Xingsheng's every word was a bombshell.
