Sheriff Uncle, open the door quickly! I've come to solve a case!

Qin Qingzhou's gaze fell on Xingxing, whose eyes were red and who was still trembling.

"It was your daughter, Xingxing, who sent me."

Ma Han's brow twitched as she looked up at the stars.

Xingxing was still scared, holding her tightly with her lips pressed together.

Upon hearing this, she stammered, "Xingxing... sent a message to Zhizhi. Xingxing knows... Zhizhi's uncle is a policeman."

It turns out that when the two little girls got together at kindergarten, they added each other as friends by tapping their phone watches together.

Bai Zhizhi repeatedly gave instructions and exhortations.

She was told not to drink milk at night and not to fall asleep. If anyone hurt her, she should scream to wake her mother and then find a chance to run away and contact Bai Zhizhi.

Bai Zhizhi will definitely make sure her uncle arrives as soon as possible.

Qin Qingzhou chuckled, finally understanding why Bai Zhizhi had insisted on eating hamburgers from this area tonight.

Ma Han burst into tears instantly and hugged Xingxing.

It turns out she was saved by the stars.

The mother and daughter planned to go back to the mother's home for a while, and Qin Qingzhou offered to take them there.

On the one hand, Ma Han has no car, and the last bus has already left.

On the other hand, Qin Qingzhou memorized the location of her house so that he could get there as quickly as possible if anything unexpected happened.

Ma Han hugged Xingxing and followed Qin Qingzhou silently.

Qin Qingzhou's car was parked downstairs, and Bai Zhizhi and Xingxing sat quietly in the passenger seat waiting for them to come down.

Seeing the stars, she excitedly pressed herself against the window and shouted, "Stars!"

Xingxing let go of Ma Han's hand and ran to the car with small steps.

"Knowing this, the stars kept their promise."

Bai Zhizhi pulled a neatly folded amulet from her bundle: "This is Zhizhi's reward for Xingxing~"

Xingxing looked it up and down: "What is this?"

"Secret~ Make sure you keep the star safe." Bai Zhizhi winked playfully.

Xingxing nodded vigorously and put the lucky charm into her little schoolbag.

Bai Zhizhi took out another one and handed it to Xingxing: "There's one more, secretly give this one to Xingxing's mom~"

Ma Han's family home is in the countryside, about two hours away from the city.

It was already past midnight when we set off, and the two little ones were already fast asleep, cuddling together in the back seat.

Ma Han silently wiped away her tears.

After delivering the item, Ma Han hugged Xingxing, thanked her softly, and left. He then returned the way he came, and by the time he reached the city, it was already slightly dawn.

Bai Zhizhi was sleeping restlessly, her little face scrunched up.

Qin Qingzhou sighed.

Alright, let's not send her to school today, let her sleep in a little longer.

……

At the police station, Meng Anping was not a party to the incident. He simply gave the police a few words and was quickly released.

His mother, Zou Chunhua, didn't emerge so easily.

The old man hadn't slept all night and, not understanding anything about the police station, started rambling incoherently as soon as the police arrived.

"You dare lock me up? Do you know what my youngest son does? He's a policeman too, he's been a policeman for over ten years, you all have to listen to him, release him right now!"

"Heavens above! Is there no law anymore?! The police can arrest people arbitrarily! God will curse you! You will go to hell!"

Zhao Tai rubbed his temples; his ears were throbbing from the noise.

I asked my colleague next to me, "What does her son do?"

"Oh, just a junior traffic cop from the north side of the city."

Zhao Tai: "..."

Zou Chunhua then began chanting incomprehensible incantations, like an old woman talking in her sleep: "I will curse you."

Zhao Tai, unable to contain himself any longer, retorted, "Hey! The Heavenly King, the God of Law, and the Curse of Hell aren't even in the same system. What do you believe in?"

"That's enough. Tell me honestly, why did you kill your granddaughter?"

Zou Chunhua slammed her hand on the table, shouting, "Who said I killed her? The master said that as long as An'an receives his talisman water, our family will have a son!"

"Who is this master you're talking about?"

"He's a very famous master in our area, he can exorcise ghosts! I asked so many people for help to find him, and a bowl of talisman water cost 10,000 yuan, and you just poured it away! Pay up!"

Zhao Tai slammed the test report on the table, startling the old man: "Do you know that the talisman water you mentioned can kill people? We tested the substances in your syringe, and the lead and mercury levels are dangerously high. Meng Xing is already mildly poisoned!"

"If you keep injecting like this, at best you'll become an idiot, at worst you'll die from poisoning!"

"You young people don't understand! We've always done it this way. All our sons came about this way." Zou Chunhua didn't understand and just kept waving her hands.

"It's okay if she's a girl and she's mentally challenged, as long as she gives birth to a boy, everything will be alright."

"Yes, we don't understand, but the law does!" Zhao Tai said sternly, "The evidence against you for harming a minor is irrefutable. Get ready to go to jail!"

Upon hearing that she would be going to jail, Zou Chunhua started screaming again.

Meng Anping, who was waiting outside, started to get anxious when his mother didn't come out for a long time.

Just then, Zhao Tai and the others came out of the interrogation room and into the lobby, and Meng Anping hurriedly chased after them.

"Where's my mom? Why hasn't she come out yet?"

Zhao Tai stopped in front of him, his tone serious: "She is suspected of committing a crime and has been detained by us. I suggest you find a good lawyer and prepare some favorable evidence, which might help reduce her sentence."

"You must have made a mistake?" Meng Anping couldn't believe it.

Where would he get the money to hire a lawyer?

Moreover... it is a fact that Zou Chunhua stabbed Meng Xing, and he has no way to deny it.

Zhao Tai didn't want to waste his breath arguing with him and was about to leave when Meng Anping stopped him again.

"Officer, my mom really didn't mean to hurt Xingxing. I saw online that if she has a letter of forgiveness, she can avoid jail time. If I get Xingxing's mom to write a letter of forgiveness, can you let my mom go?"

Zhao Tai thought for a moment: "That's certainly possible, but your mother's criminal behavior is undeniable. We can have her write a letter of forgiveness to reduce her sentence."

Seizing this opportunity, Meng Anping hurriedly agreed, "Okay, I'll have her write a letter of forgiveness right away."

He rushed out of the police station and bumped into Qin Qingzhou, who was on her way to work.

Qin Qingzhou was tall and strong, and he was quite afraid of him, so he gripped his phone and stepped aside.

Qin Qingzhou noticed him and silently slowed her pace.

Meng Anping made several calls, but could not get through.

He bit his fingertips in frustration: "Answer the phone, you bastard!"

When the phone went unanswered again, Meng An slammed it to the ground.

"Damn it! Playing disappearing act, huh? Don't think I can't find you!"

Qin Qingzhou watched as he angrily got into the car and slowly drove out of sight.

He looked away and walked into the police station.

……

Ma Han sat alone in the empty living room of the earthen house, where Xingxing had already been coaxed to sleep.

The needle marks on Xingxing's arm were shocking; her heart ached every time she saw them.

Looking back on her relationship with Meng Anping, she never imagined it would end like this.

She should have noticed something was wrong with Zou Chunhua much earlier.

If she had discovered it sooner, Xingxing wouldn't have been hurt.

"Woof woof woof!"

The dog outside suddenly barked, and Ma Han's heart tightened; she instinctively clenched her fist.

"Ah Han".

It was Meng Anping's voice.
