Xing Yong strode outside, his expression unusually grave. He hadn't expected Lu Shuang to do such a thing; having someone like that in the police force was a real threat.

"Knock knock".

"Come in."

Wang Gaofeng looked up at Xing Yong and saw that his brows were furrowed into a deep frown. He put down his pen and asked, "Xing Yong, what's wrong? Is the case difficult to handle?"

"Director Wang, there's an important matter that requires your decision."

Wang Gaofeng stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray, coughed twice, and said, "Go ahead."

Xing Yong recounted everything that had just happened in detail.

The office reeked of nicotine. Wang Gaofeng's eyes darkened, and his tone became more serious than ever before. After a long pause, his voice was grave: "Xing Yong, do you know how serious this accusation against you is?"

Xing Yong nodded, "I personally supervised Xiaochun in making it."

Wang Gaofeng let out a long sigh, picked up the internal phone, and said, "Old Ma, come over here."

A moment later, the sound of clattering leather shoes came from the doorway, and a middle-aged man rushed in. "Chief, you wanted to see me?"

"Old Ma, come, have a seat." Ma Jiubai smiled warmly at Xing Yong. "Captain Xing, what's up? Is there a case that requires our technical department's assistance?"

"Alright, you go ahead and do your work. The case is the case, but there's something we need to discuss now."

Ma Jiubai was a shrewd person and immediately sensed that something was wrong. "Alright, boss, please go ahead."

Wang Gaofeng was considering how to phrase things when Xing Yong spoke up, "Section Chief Ma, Lu Shuang blatantly violated police professional ethics by tampering with evidence. How do you plan to handle this?"

"What?" Ma Jiubai froze for three seconds, then jumped to his feet. "Xing Yong, what do you mean by that?"

Facing each other, Wang Gaofeng waved his hand and said, "What are you two staring at each other for? Sit down first."

"No, Chief, what Xing Yong is saying isn't just anything; he's openly accusing our police force of having corrupt elements within our department. Do you think I can stay calm?"

"Alright, alright, I know what you mean. Don't get so worked up. And Xing Yong, you sit down too. I called you here to discuss things, not to argue. If you want to argue, get out and fight it out."

Ma Jiubai gritted his teeth, snorted, and sat down. "Director, although Comrade Lu Shuang is a bit arrogant, she is serious about her work. I don't believe she would do such a thing."

"Are you a tapeworm in her stomach?"

Ma Jiubai: ...How come he never noticed before that Xing Yong had such a sharp tongue?

"Then how can you prove that what you said about Comrade Xiaochun is correct? Her professional abilities shouldn't be significantly superior to Lu Shuang's, right?"

Xing Yong rolled his eyes, a huge one, but he didn't dare to directly slap him in the face. "Section Chief Ma, Comrade Ruan Xiaochun was operating right under my nose at the time, I don't think she could have made a mistake."

Ma Jiubai felt choked up. "Then let someone else review it again to see who is real and who is fake."

"I'm afraid Section Chief Ma won't have that opportunity."

"What do you mean?"

Xing Yong smiled sarcastically. "Why don't you go and see for yourself?"

"Fine, I'll watch!"

Outside the interrogation room, Lu Shuang was restless. Ever since Xing Yong left, she had felt that something was wrong, and the way the criminal investigation team members were looking at her was strange.

Just then, seeing Ma Jiubai walking over with Xing Yong not far away, Lu Shuangxin suddenly picked him up.

"What's wrong, Section Chief Ma?"

"Lu Shuang, go to the office and bring over the evidence from Yang Duoyu's case, specifically the letter you recovered."

Lu Shuang's heart sank instantly. "Section Chief, when I put the evidence back after restoring it, it was accidentally stained with ink, but I assure you it is genuine."

Ma Jiubai's face turned pale and then red, staring at Xing Yong's smug face, not knowing what to say. He had actually guessed right.

He looked at Lu Shuang and felt a pang of unease. Logically, he should protect someone from his own department, but in this situation, protecting her would truly be seen as favoritism.

Ma Jiubai frowned and thought for a long time. "Captain Xing, the truth of this matter cannot be verified at the moment. How about this, I will temporarily seal all the evidence, and from this time onwards, neither Lu Shuang nor Comrade Ruan Xiaochun can access any of the evidence in this case?"

Xing Yong nodded. "I don't have any problems on my end."

"Section Chief Ma, what does this mean? What did I do wrong? Why am I being suspended?"

Lu Shuang clutched the letter she had just received, which turned slightly white. "Do you really believe a child, but not me?"

"Lu Shuang." Ma Jiubai looked at her but still couldn't bring himself to speak harshly. "Captain Xing said he saw Comrade Ruan Xiaochun directly handling the matter. He now doubts the authenticity of your letter. For the sake of fairness, this piece of evidence is invalid."

They decided to ignore it and shift the blame to Xing Yong. They had heard that Xing Yong had brought back a junior technician, but he just laughed it off, thinking that true gold in their line of work was not afraid of being tested by fire. Who would have thought that something like this would happen?

Xing Yong didn't seem to care, his gaze calm. "Your and Xiaochun's evidence will not be accepted. We will continue our investigation. As for this piece of evidence, we will hand it over to the supervisory department."

Lu Shuang opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say. The more she said, the more mistakes she would make. For a moment, she regretted it, but there's no going back in this world.

Lu Shuang had no choice but to accept it.

After watching Lu Shuang leave, Niu Qiaobao and the others surrounded Xing Yong. "Captain Xing, I believe in Xiao Chun anyway."

"I also believe in Xiaochun." Xiao Chen followed closely behind. Niu Qiaobao looked at Qin Yuezheng, who hadn't said a word, and elbowed him, giving him a meaningful look.

Qin Yuezheng pushed away Niu Qiaobao's glaring face and said, "I didn't say I didn't believe Xiaochun. I was thinking that if Yang Duoyu wrote a love letter to Fu Youan, then this matter would definitely not be unknown to everyone."

"That makes sense." Qin Yuezheng rolled his eyes at Niu Qiaobao, then turned to Xing Yong. "Captain Xing, I think we need to question the students in their class separately tomorrow."

Xing Yong agreed with this point. The school was so big, he didn't believe that if Yang Duoyu really liked Fu Youan and had even written him a love letter, there would have been some kind of disturbance.

"Alright, everyone, prepare your materials tonight and head to school early tomorrow morning."

Just then, a young police officer walked in from the doorway. "Captain Criminal Investigation, Fu Youan's father is here. He said he's here to pick him up."

"Xiao Chen, go and complete the formalities."

Xiao Chun followed Xiao Chen toward the door, and as soon as they arrived, they saw Fu Chen being scolded like a grandson.

"I don't care about your other affairs, but because you've involved You'an, Fu Chen, how can you do this to Lingling?"

"Mom, I don't know..."

"Alright, I think you've lost your mind. If you hadn't messed with a woman like Su Mei, how could You'an have suffered like this? Fu Chen, do you want Lingling to die with no peace?"

Fu Chen's face turned bright red, but he couldn't refute the old woman's accusations. "Mom, I understand. I will handle this matter properly. I will never contact Su Mei again. I'm getting married to Ai Qin soon. After the wedding, I will bring You An and the others over and I will never let them suffer any injustice."

The old lady glanced at him and snorted, "You'an, let's go."

Fu Youan glanced at Fu Chen, "Dad, I'll be going now."

Fu Chen sighed dejectedly and pathetically, knowing he wouldn't implicate You An.

Looking at Ruan Xiaochun not far away, Fu Chen forgot his usual proud gentlemanly demeanor, snorted coldly, and turned to leave.

"What bad luck!" Xiaochun patted her nose. "Now that I've said the harshest thing, I'll be facing Su Mei's harshest revenge tomorrow."

Scumbag and bitch locked up.

The next morning, Xing Yong and his group rushed to the Bayi Primary School in the military region.

As soon as I arrived at the gate, I saw a huge Lei Feng painting on the school wall, with a group of children sitting around it, seemingly listening to a story. On the wall next to it was a large red slogan: "Learn from the military style, become successors of the revolution." From time to time, I could hear children reading aloud. It must have been class time.

The gatekeeper had been greeted by the principal early in the morning, and after registering them, they were allowed to enter.

"Captain Xing, Teacher Wu is already waiting for you in the office. The principal and the others are still in a meeting and will be back soon."

Xing Yong nodded. Inside a few simple bungalows sat children of varying heights, while the teacher was writing something on the black blackboard with chalk.

"Captain Xing, this is the teacher's office."

The door was ajar. Niu Qiaobao stepped forward and knocked twice. A voice from inside said, "Come in."

Upon entering, I saw several men and women sitting inside.

At this moment, a middle-aged woman wearing floral-patterned dark blue polyester pants stood up. "Captain Xing, hello, I am Wu Shufang."

This teacher, who is in his forties, has a stern look and is clearly a strict homeroom teacher.

"Captain Xing, these are parent representatives from our class. Isn't this a question we need to ask them? We also need to inform the parents."

Xing Yong didn't say much, just nodded. "Teacher Wu, we'd like to ask you about Yang Duoyu."

"No problem, officer, we will definitely cooperate."

Xing Yong sat opposite her, while Niu Qiaobao and the others took out their notebooks and sat down with the group of parents to take notes.

"Teacher Wu, how was Yang Duoyu's condition in the period leading up to his incident?"

"Officer, although Yang Duoyu has only been here for a short time, she has a very positive attitude towards learning. She is just a bit quiet and doesn't like to talk. We also know a little about her family situation. Considering her family circumstances, we haven't asked her too much, for fear of making her feel inferior."

Wu Shufang spoke naturally and fluently, "Actually, we also feel very sorry."

"How are her relationships with other students in class?"

Wu Shufang pursed her lips. "Yang Duoyu doesn't talk much and doesn't seem to be particularly close to anyone. The only person he can talk to is Qiao Shanshan in our class. This girl is a bit like Yang Duoyu, which is probably why he can talk to her."

"Ms. Wu, have any students in your class started dating?"

Wu Shufang smiled awkwardly, "Officer, this is a middle school. Everyone's goal is to get into a good high school. Even if something like this happened, how can we tell the teacher?"

At this moment, Xiaochun, who had been sitting to the side, spoke up, "Teacher, what about Yang Chunlei and Fu Youan? They get along so well, aren't they dating?"

Wu Shufang was stunned. "This classmate has a good relationship with you, but maybe it's not what you think."

Xing Yong lowered his eyes. Clearly, this teacher had been reprimanded before, and was hiding the things he was asking.

"Ms. Wu, could you please call the child over? We need to ask a few simple questions. Also, could you please arrange two rooms for us?"
