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

Xiaochun watched as her grandmother vanished in the blink of an eye, her lips twitching. Nothing could ignite the old lady's enthusiasm as much as watching a spectacle.

She saw a large crowd gathered in front of the ward; indeed, everyone was just as eager to see what would happen.

Xiao Chun, being held by Ruan Jianhua, wanted to peek inside, but an auntie pushed her out, saying, "What are you doing looking at this, you big man? Come on, you've brought a child with you. Hurry up and leave."

They chased their bodies out like flies, one big and one small.

Xiaochun and Ruan Jianhua could only stand on the periphery of the crowd, listening to the chatter inside.

"Oh my, isn't this Dr. Su from the military hospital? I heard she's the one who cheats on her husband."

"How did this child get lost? Wasn't it supposed to require an expert assessment?"

"Pah! I think she's just scared."

Xiaochun recalled what Ding Xiao had told her earlier that day: Could it be that Su Mei's child was really gone?

She struggled to peer through the crowd, and through the crack in the door, she could vaguely see a person lying on the bed, and some red blood.

[Ding~ Observing a fake miscarriage scene, beginner fake scene proficiency +10.]

The crowd murmured amongst themselves, the light in the corridor flickered, and Xiaochun stared at the terrazzo floor reflecting a glossy sheen, her face showing disbelief.

Was Koh Samui's miscarriage faked?

Xiaochun immediately realized Su Mei's purpose: she wanted to have the child.

But faking a miscarriage is simply a way of not wanting people to know.

This person is probably Fu Chen, right?

After all, Fu Chen tried every means to get rid of Su Mei's child, so that there would be no direct evidence to prove that he and Su Mei had an affair.

But given the current situation, Xiaochun couldn't help but smile sarcastically.

Fu Chen probably underestimated Su Mei; she actually managed to deceive everyone.

It's important to know that Su Mei is a reborn person, so her medical skills are actually quite good. She also has a lot to say about what the boy in her belly looks like.

The fact that she was born with that face is irrefutable proof.

Xiaochun was practically dying of laughter.

She was now incredibly looking forward to seeing Su Mei and Fu Chen fighting like dogs.

However, she wasn't the kind-hearted Xiaochun before; she had plenty of strength and cunning.

Su Mei was pushed out, and the group bumped into each other.

"Serves you right!"

Su Mei bit her lower lip and turned her head away, not wanting to pay attention to them. Suddenly, Xiao Chun walked over and his eyes lingered on her stomach. Su Mei tensed up. What kind of look was Ruan Xiao Chun giving her?

Xiao Chun smiled slightly, but did not expose Su Mei. "I heard that Fu Chen is going to be recruited by a woman named Gao Aiqin to work as a drug research and development employee at a pharmaceutical factory. I wonder if he will come to see you now that you're like this."

Who?

Su Mei's mind went blank for a moment. Looking at Ruan Xiaochun's back, she said, "Gao Aiqin?"

Why would Fu Chen go to Gao Aiqin?

I'm going to work at Gao Aiqin's pharmaceutical factory?

This news completely shocked Koh Samui.

Xiaochun didn't care about any of that; she just wanted to stir things up.

Grandma Ruan watched the little girl chattering away with curiosity and couldn't help but ask, "Who's Gao Aiqin? Is she that man's new girlfriend?"

"More or less."

Grandma Ruan gasped, then stomped her foot. "That was so satisfying! I'd love to see what kind of end that slut Su Mei will get!"

Xiao Chun smiled, gazing at the sunlight. A good ending? Su Mei's bad ending was her own doing. Anyway, as long as Su Mei is unhappy, I'll feel good.

Slowly driving Su Mei mad with the dullness of a knife seems more satisfying than killing her all at once.

After Su Mei's miscarriage was reported, Xing Yong called Xiao Chun that very evening.

"The organization said that Su Mei's affair is true and she will be sent to a labor camp in the next province for three years. If nothing unexpected happens, she will be sent there after her postpartum period. You haven't figured out what else she has besides money. Think it through, otherwise you won't get anything after she leaves."

Xiao Chun leaned against the registration desk at the guesthouse, listening intently as Xing Yong patiently spoke to her and tried to help her find a solution. Xiao Chun's eyes were wet with tears. If it weren't for Captain Xing, she couldn't have imagined what would have happened since she brought her father to Tanshui City.

Hearing her soft, muffled voice on the other end of the phone, Xing Yong became somewhat anxious. "Xiao Chun? What's wrong?"

Xiaochun wiped away her tears, clutched the phone tightly, and asked softly, "Captain Xing, are you very tired?"

From the moment she received the call, she could hear Xing Yong's hoarse voice; she knew without a doubt that he had stayed up all night.

Xing Yong paused for half a second, then smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll just drink some water later."

"I'm informing you of the organization's decision first. If you remember anything else, just call me and I'll help you negotiate with Commander Cao."

After hanging up the phone, Xiaochun couldn't help but furrow her delicate brows. Captain Xing seemed to be coughing.

The little guy hung up the phone and rushed back to his room. "Grandma, Grandma, please prepare some medicine for me."

Early the next morning.

Xing Yong rubbed his heavy brow. Two days and two nights had passed, and all the people involved in the case had been interrogated. The latest development was that the crime scene had been found, which was an abandoned slaughterhouse outside the city. However, no matter how many times they searched, they still couldn't find the missing head.

Xing Yonggang picked up his cup and pushed open the door, preparing to wash his face.

The office was filled with the smells of smoke, sweat, and food. Niu Qiaobao and the others were fast asleep with books covering their faces; they were indeed exhausted from the past few days. Xing Yong turned around, grabbed his wallet, and left to dry in the breeze.

A short while later, Xing Yong returned with somewhat tired steps and was immediately stunned.

The office, which could have been a chaotic mess, was now bright and clean. The group of energetic young men were gathered around a young girl, smiles on their faces. "Xiao Chun, this tonic is really good. What would I do without you? Captain Xing, you're back?"

Xiao Chun blushed slightly from the praise and scratched her cheek. "Captain Xing, you're back!"

Xing Yong casually stuffed breakfast into Niu Qiaobao's arms, "Eat breakfast."

"Thanks, boss!! Eat quickly, I'm bleeding profusely from my head."

Xiao Chun looked at Xing Yong, whose beard was covered in stubble, and followed him into the office with a clattering sound, carrying a small bag. She then placed the enamel mug on his desk with a thud. "Captain Xing, this was specially brewed for you. Grandma said it's good for replenishing your energy."

The little girl deftly opened the enamel mug, immediately releasing a faint medicinal smell. "Drink it quickly."

Xing Yong's slight awkwardness vanished instantly.

I picked up the enamel mug and took a big gulp; the clear, refreshing medicinal soup slid smoothly down my throat, feeling very comfortable.

"Captain Xing, Xiao Chun heard you coughing. There's licorice in it too. You can't sacrifice your health for work."

Xing Yong's heart melted as he listened to her soft, rambling voice. "Okay, thank you, Xiaochun. I feel much better now."

So this is what it feels like to be remembered. Xing Yong's fingers twitched slightly.

Just then, Niu Qiaobao pushed open the door and said, "Captain Xing, Forensic Doctor Zhang has made a new discovery. We need to go there right away."

Xiaochun looked at Xing Yong with teary, puppy-like eyes. "Xiaochun wants to go too."

Xing Yong frowned. "The forensic autopsy room isn't fun."

"Xiaochun isn't afraid."

Xing Yong didn't know why he couldn't resist her little glances, "I'm afraid I'll come out later."

In the forensic autopsy room, Zhang Ning, dressed in a white uniform and holding tools, said, "We've been piecing together the bodies for the past few days, and there weren't any problems until today when we were working on the details."

Xing Yong and the others followed Zhang Ning's hand and looked at the tooth in the iron plate. "Look."

The group looked at each other in bewilderment. "Forensic Doctor Zhang, what's wrong with these teeth? We have teeth too, clatter clatter clatter."

Zhang Ning gave Niu Qiaobao, who was grinning with his big white teeth, a cold glance.

"This tooth doesn't belong to this man."

All eyes were focused on Ruan Xiaochun.

How do you know it's not?

Xiaochun swallowed hard and pointed at the tooth. "This tooth looks a bit small, like a woman's tooth."

"Huh? How did you know it was a woman?"

How do you explain this? Should you tell them she learned a set of techniques for dismembering and disposing of bodies, including content related to the human body?

But she could tell the difference when she saw the teeth.

"Of course it's a feeling. My dad's teeth are this big, and this one is so small."

Xiao Chun pretended to be stupid, which made Niu Qiaobao laugh out loud. "That big must be an elephant's tusk."

"She's right, it's a female molar, not a male one. I suspect it fell in during the fight between the killer and the victim, and the killer didn't have time to clean it up in the heat of the moment, so it ended up mixed in with the victim's teeth."

"Was the killer a toothless woman?"

"I'm just speculating; I don't know anything else."

Zhang Ning was looking down as she prepared to put away the photos on the table when Xiao Chun suddenly stood on tiptoe.

"Forensic Doctor Zhang, may I see the photos?"
