I'm only five years old, how come I've become the military region's darling?

A hint of hatred flashed in Xu Fangfang's eyes.

"When my younger brother was little, he fell and broke his leg while climbing a tree. It never healed properly, and he has a slight limp. When he grew up, the women he looked for either didn't like him or had high standards. So my mother started to focus on me."

"I didn't want to be married off for money like that. Around that time, I heard that Battalion Commander Xu's wife was looking for a nanny, so I used some tricks to get selected."

"Of course my mom didn't want me to leave, but I told her that I could take advantage of the fact that Battalion Commander Xu's wife was pregnant, and then with a battalion commander as a brother-in-law, would my brother still have trouble finding a wife?"

"My mom agreed because she was greedy, but she started urging me to come after only a week. However, my sister-in-law was too good to me, and I couldn't do it. That day, my sister-in-law said she was going to throw away the negatives of Battalion Commander Xu. I was so tempted that I took them to the photo studio and, to my surprise, they actually turned out well."

In the interrogation room, everyone frowned. "So how did you find Chen Meimei?"

Xu Fangfang clenched her fingers. "I heard someone on the street say that she was introduced by a matchmaker from my hometown. I spent some money on melon seeds to find out the matchmaker's address. I wrote a letter and sent her a photo of Battalion Commander Xu to talk about finding a partner. I gave her twenty yuan."

"After that, the matchmaker introduced me to Chen Meimei."

"After Chen Meimei arrived, how did you lie to her?"

Xing Yong asked, "A normal woman would definitely not agree to a blind date if the person she's meeting is different."

Xu Fangfang's eyelids trembled with guilt, and she stammered.

"I picked her up by train. I told her that Battalion Commander Xu had sent me to pick her up, and that I couldn't go directly to the family compound until the marriage certificate was issued. After that, I went out to buy groceries and went to see her. About a week later, I had someone make a fake marriage certificate and told her that Battalion Commander Xu had already had it made."

"That day I secretly drugged her, and then my brother... When she woke up, she cried, but I comforted her and said that since they were married, this kind of thing was normal. Battalion Commander Xu just liked her too much and couldn't control himself."

"And what about every time she calls?" Liu Xiaotao continued to ask.

"I told her her parents would worry, so I told her not to trouble them... Everything was fine until Chen Meimei got pregnant. I told my brother he would come after the baby was born, but he... he couldn't resist climbing into Chen Meimei's bed in the middle of the night, and Chen Meimei found out..."

"If it weren't for that idiot, this wouldn't have been discovered. It's all his fault!"

Xu Fangfang said angrily, "When they found out Chen Meimei was about to call the police, my brother pushed her, and her stomach hit the table. That blood was hers."

"Where is she?"

"Chen Meimei didn't have a child, so my brother took her away."

Xing Yong looked up at Xu Fangfang across from him, frowning. "Didn't I tell you where to go?"

"No"

"Didn't you call back to your hometown to ask?"

"I asked and they said they didn't go back."

On the surface, Xu Fangfang's statement seemed flawless, and Xing Yong stroked the edge of the notebook.

Suddenly, she asked, "Your brother is missing, and your mother hasn't looked for you?"

Xu Fangfang didn't take it, but she gently pulled her fingers off her knee.

"I've already contacted her, but I told her there was nothing I could do, and she couldn't do anything either."

Xing Yong glanced down at the things in his hand. "Have you contacted them proactively in the past two months?"

"no."

Just then, a junior policeman walked in. "Detective, the technical team's report is back; they found something."

"Officer, the bloodstains at the scene don't belong to Chen Meimei. Both of Chen Meimei's parents have type O blood, so there would definitely be type O blood at the scene if it were a miscarriage. But we only found type AB blood at the scene. We also checked Xu Fangfang's blood type, which is also type O. So the most likely source of this blood type is a third person, which means Xu Fangfang's younger brother."

The person who got into trouble was probably Xu Fangfang's younger brother.

The case suddenly took a turn. He had previously thought that it was Chen Meimei who had been in trouble, but now it seemed that Chen Meimei was most likely still alive.

Why did Xu Fangfang hide this matter?

No matter what, the most important thing is to find Chen Meimei.

Judging from the situation, she is now almost seven months pregnant.

At that moment, a police officer outside gave a warning.

"Officer, Chen Meimei's mother is here again, crying terribly. The child you brought back is comforting her."

Xing Yong walked out of the interrogation room and saw Xiao Chun comforting Zhou Dajuan, who looked haggard.

"Detective, detective!"

When Zhou Dajuan saw Xing Yong come out, she rushed over to him as if he were a lifeline, "I heard they found someone dead? Was it Meimei?"

Xing Yong supported Zhou Dajuan, who was almost unable to stand, and said with a hint of comfort, "Comrade Zhou, don't worry. We are investigating as much as we can, but there is no evidence yet pointing to your daughter being in trouble."

"It's not Meimei, it's not Meimei..." Zhou Dajuan grabbed Xiaochun excitedly with a sigh of relief, "Xiaochun, it's not Meimei, it's not her."

Xiao Chun took out a small handkerchief and helped wipe away her tears. "Auntie, Captain Xing will definitely be found."

Does this little guy really believe in himself that much?

Xing Yong's lips unconsciously curled up. "We'll definitely do it as soon as possible, but didn't you hear a single word about your daughter before?"

Zhou Dajuan slumped onto the stool, muttering repeatedly, "It's my fault. I didn't ask more questions. If I had asked more, I wouldn't be so clueless. It's all my fault..."

He hit his head with his hand as he spoke.

"Aunt Zhou, Sister Meimei definitely doesn't want you to worry. She's vomiting so badly, but she doesn't want you to worry..."

"Vomiting? You're vomiting a lot."

Zhou Dajuan suddenly froze. "Oh right, I remember Meimei said that someone in the countryside pickled sour apricots that could stop nausea, and that she felt much better after eating them. She also said she was going to find that person to take care of her during her postpartum period."

"Then it must be someone Sister Meimei trusts a lot to take care of her during her postpartum period, right?"

Xiaochun tilted her head and gave a reasoned analysis.

"The people Sister Meimei trusts are either introduced by Xu Fangfang, or they're pregnant like her, right, Captain Xing?"

Xing Yong looked at Ruan Xiaochun, his eyes trembling slightly.

This little kid's analysis is spot on.

"Xiao Liu, go and investigate the whereabouts of Xu Fangfang's mother in her hometown. Niu Qiaobao, go and investigate if any women between forty-five and fifty years old have been seen near Chen Meimei's residence."

The entire Major Crimes Unit sprang into action, and Zhou Dajuan was taken to the interrogation room for further questioning about some details.

Seeing that everyone had left, Xiaochun met Xing Yong's scrutinizing gaze, wiped her nose, and tugged at Ruan Jianhua, who was standing beside her, "Dad, let's go back quickly."

As soon as they stepped outside, the little guy's feet left the ground as Xing Yong grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up. Xing Yong's narrow eyes narrowed slightly. "Comrade Ruan Jianhua, I have some things I'd like Xiao Chun to teach me. Would you like to come along?"

"Captain Xing, Xiao Chun doesn't know anything."

Xing Yong clicked his tongue. "Really? Comrade Ruan Jianhua, Xiao Chun can't do anything?"

Ruan Jianhua covered his mouth with both hands and shook his head, "Xiaochun can't pick locks, can't write, and can't draw..."

Xiaochun: o((⊙﹏⊙))o, Dad, are you helping me or hurting me?

"Really? Xiaochun can draw?" Xing Yong asked casually.
