Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

"Is it illegal to use dogs?"

The police officers looked at each other, puzzled, not quite understanding.

"You guys keep an eye on that yellow dog. I'll go ask the village secretary! Oh, right, and Comrade Liu Bei too. He's also from Fanjiacun, an upright man, he should know something. Yes, let's go find Comrade Liu Bei first, let's go!"

A few minutes later,

Liu Beijia.

Is Comrade Liu Bei home?

"He's here. What do you police officers want with him?" Lin Wanqiu asked curiously as she opened the door.

"Oh, it's like this. Fan Xibei from your village was injured—" The leading policeman deliberately pointed to his crotch to illustrate, "Two villagers found him unconscious under a locust tree and took him to the clinic. On the way, he couldn't bear the pain and asked to be treated at the veterinary station. He ended up dying."

"Huh? Dead...dead?" As she spoke, Lin Wanqiu glanced into the courtyard.

Liu Beixun walked over, his face full of surprise. "What? Fan Xibei is dead? He was fine yesterday! How could he be dead? When did this happen?"

"Two hours ago!"

"Oh...that's a pity. I wonder how I can be of any help?"

"Comrade Liu Bei, it's like this. According to the two villagers who brought Fan Xibei, when they found him, he was already unconscious. His groin was covered in blood. When he was taken to the veterinary station, the veterinarian examined him and found that... he had become a eunuch!"

"Huh? A...eunuch?"

Liu Bei and Lin Wanqiu, a married couple, opened their mouths wide in disbelief.

"Hmm. A eunuch!" The leader nodded slightly. "His injuries were too severe. He lost a lot of blood. The veterinarian couldn't save him, and he died. That's why we brought him to Fanjiacun Village. Through the search with our hunting dogs, we discovered that the murderer was connected to a yellow dog!"

"What? The killer is connected to a yellow dog?"

Liu Bei and Lin Wanqiu exchanged a glance and shook their heads. "Officer, what does that mean? I don't understand. Wanqiu, do you understand?"

"I didn't understand either!" Lin Wanqiu shook her head.

"We deduce that Fan Xibei may have provoked the yellow dog, leading to a fight. During the fight, he was bitten by the dog and rendered a eunuch!"

"What? Such a thing exists?"

Liu Bei and Lin Wanqiu's mouths gaped even wider.

"Pfft~"

Zhao Chunyan, who was drinking water, spat it all out. "Officer, what did you say? Fan Xibei became a eunuch because of a yellow dog? Did I hear that right?"

"Yeah, that's impossible, isn't it?" Su Yuehe also thought it was a fantasy.

Zhao Da'e then told the three children to cover their ears so they wouldn't hear anything they shouldn't hear.

"This is just our deduction. We still need to do some investigation to find out the specifics. That's why we've come to Comrade Liu Bei to get more information!" The leader smiled slightly.

"Oh. I see." Liu Bei frowned. "I'll go take a look with you!"

"good!"

Along the way, after learning that the police had approached Liu Bei to inquire about the situation, many villagers followed him.

A few minutes later, several police officers brought Liu Bei back to the yellow dog.

At this point, the yellow dog and the hunting dog were locked in a standoff.

Both of them had very sharp eyes, with a hint of ferocity, and neither was willing to give in to the other.

All it takes is a spark, and a dog-versus-dog war will break out.

"Comrade Liu Bei, that's the yellow dog. Do you know him?"

The leader pointed and asked.

"Ah Huang?"

Liu Bei raised an eyebrow.

"What? You know them? Whose family are they?" The leader's eyes lit up.

"It's from the village party secretary's family!" Liu Bei told the truth.

"The village party secretary's family?" Upon hearing this, the police officers exchanged glances for a moment, finding the situation increasingly interesting.

"Go and call the village party secretary!" the leader ordered.

"good!"

A few minutes later, village party secretary Fan Sanyuan rushed over.

"Captain Yang, I'm sorry. I didn't know you were here. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I wonder how I can help you?"

"Secretary, is that yellow dog yours?" the leader asked.

After noticing Liu Bei was also there, Fan Sanyuan exchanged a glance with him, smiled, and said, "He's from my family. What's wrong? Did Ah Huang bite someone?"

"Mmm. I bit it."

"Huh? It really bit you? Who did it bite?"

"Fan Xibei. As far as I know, he's your eldest nephew, isn't he?" The leader gestured for someone to make way, pointing to the corpse on the ground. "He's dead. My condolences!"

"What? What did you say? Northwest...he's dead? He was perfectly fine yesterday! How could this be?"

Fan Sanyuan rushed over and lifted the white cloth.

It really was Fan Xibei.

"impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"Everything was fine yesterday, how could this happen today...?"

Fan Sanyuan staggered backward a few steps, lost his balance, and fell to the ground.

"Based on our speculation, Fan Xibei was bitten in the groin by your yellow dog. He died from excessive blood loss when he was taken to the veterinary station, and the veterinarian did not treat him properly."

"What? It all started because of my dog, Ah Huang?"

Fan Sanyuan looked completely bewildered.

"Hmm. So I wanted to ask, are you aware of this, Party Secretary?"

"No... I don't know. If I knew, how could I have let Ah Huang bite Northwest? He's my own nephew! We're as close as father and son. Everyone in the village knows that!"

"Yes. The Party Secretary treats Fan Xibei no differently than his own son!"

"Fan Xibei also showed great respect to the Party Secretary. I've never heard of any conflict between them, uncle and nephew!"

"That's right. They have a very good relationship!"

……

The villagers all testified.

The leader frowned. "Then let me ask you all again. Has any of you seen Yellow Dog and Fan Xibei fighting?"

"I haven't seen it!" a villager shook his head.

"I don't have any either!"

"No!"

……

One after another, most of the villagers soon shook their heads in denial.

Until a woman raised her hand and stepped forward voluntarily.

"I saw it!"

As soon as this word comes out,

Everyone turned to look.

Immediately, everyone's faces were filled with surprise.

Because this woman was actually Li Xiulan, Fan Xibei's wife.

Shouldn't she have left Fanjiacun?

Why are you back again?

When did you get back?

What does she want to achieve by stepping forward like this?

Could it be that she wants to expose Fan Dayong and Fan Daqiang to avenge her man, Fan Xibei?

If that's the case,

Then the Fan brothers, Dayong and Daqiang, were truly doomed.

"Li Xiulan?" Liu Bei was the first to speak. "You've come at the right time. Your husband is gone. Go see him one last time. My condolences!"

"Xiulan?" Fan Sanyuan was stunned for a moment, then two tears streamed down his face. "Xiulan... Northwest... he has such a hard life... sigh..."

As he spoke, Fan Sanyuan cried more and more bitterly.

Hearing the weeping, the villagers all lowered their heads.

The atmosphere suddenly became oppressive and somber.

however--

next moment,

Li Xiulan not only didn't go to see Fan Xibei, but also coldly said,

"He deserves to die!!!"

"..."

As soon as this word comes out,

Everyone looked at her.

Liu Beidao said, "Li Xiulan, couples always make up after a fight. Fan Xibei is already gone. Why are you saying this about him?"
