My grandma and I couldn't sleep at all in the hotel. We talked until very late. My grandma kept wiping away tears and expressing her sympathy for the Wan family.

But I think everything has a cause and an effect, and it is impossible for the Wan family to be completely blameless. There must be some things they don't want to tell us.

My grandma and I woke up after sleeping for more than two hours at most. As soon as we finished washing up, Director Xiao came to the hotel in a police car to pick us up.

He took us to have breakfast at a breakfast shop in the town, and then the driver drove us towards Wanjia.

When we arrived at Wan's house, many people from the village came, but they didn't dare to come near. They just stood in the threshing ground or in the fields near the small pond in the backyard and watched from afar.

Maybe it’s because it’s the slack season for farmers, but most of the people involved are women. During the slack season for farmers, men basically go out to do odd jobs to supplement their family income.

Everyone had a solemn look on their faces. The women, who were always chattering, held their breath and looked at the police officers handling the case, hoping that the case could be solved as soon as possible.

There were also some elderly people who should be familiar with the Wan family. As they watched, tears welled up in their eyes.

When we arrived, the police officers in charge of the case had already fished out the murder weapon, the machete, and the coat dropped by the man in black from the pit based on the clues I provided.

"Captain Xiao, you are here. We have fished out the things, but they stink. We washed them in the river for a long time, but they still stink. I am afraid we won't be able to find any clues."

A police officer came forward and reported the situation to Chief Xiao.

We followed Director Xiao to the Wan family's backyard. The shiny machete was placed in a bag, and a set of black clothes was hung on a tree fork, dripping with water and still emitting a foul smell.

"This machete is newly bought. It doesn't look like it has been used. Chief Xiao, can you send someone to the town with this machete to ask if anyone has bought this machete a few days before the incident?"

A criminal investigation officer from the city pointed at the machete and said to Director Xiao.

"Okay, I'll ask someone to do it right away." Director Xiao nodded in agreement.

In fact, Wan Weili has already made it clear that the person who killed their entire family was the man named Huang Xinwen. The reason why Director Xiao wanted to investigate these things was to find evidence to identify him.

Another point is that he did not have time to commit the crime. On the way here, Director Xiao told us that he had sent people to look everywhere, and the most important thing now was to catch Huang Xinwen's people first.

I felt that my grandma and I wouldn't be able to help much at the scene during the day, so I pulled my grandma into Wan Weili's room.

After entering the room and closing the doors and windows, Wan Weili appeared in front of me.

She kept her promise and stayed at home, but I know that now that she is a ghost, she must be in great pain. No matter what the reason was, the tragic annihilation of her entire family was caused by her.

The murderer must be hateful, but everything has its cause and effect. I want to get some useful information from her.

"Liu Feng, you're here?" She looked dejected when she saw me.

"Sister Wei Li, are you okay?" I asked.

"No, I want to go find Huang Xinwen myself," she said.

"Okay then, if you can go out at night, go look for him. The police probably won't be as fast as you." I agreed.

"But Sister Wei Li, you just rejected his proposal. How could he hate your whole family?" I asked.

"Yes, it's him. He is unwilling to accept it."

Her lips were trembling and her face was full of resentment, but I could clearly feel the regret deep in her heart.

Since she didn't want to talk, I didn't want to force her, so grandma and I lit three more incense sticks to let her absorb some of the fragrance.

The incense burned out and my grandma and I walked out.

"Liu Feng, have you found any new clues?"

When he saw us coming out of Wan Weili's room, Chief Xiao looked at me with bright eyes.

I waved for him to lower his head and whispered something to him.

He was startled at first, and then nodded heavily.

Since there was nothing my grandma and I could do to help here, Director Xiao asked the driver to take us back.

Before I went back, Director Xiao told me that if I found anything, I should go to Vice President Zhou's office and call him. He had already greeted Vice President Zhou.

Two days later, one night, Wan Weili came to see me. She told me that Huang Xinwen was on a construction site in the neighboring town. She wanted to make him suffer, but she was a new ghost and could not cause him any harm, so she had to come to tell me.

The next morning, I ran to Vice President Zhou's office and called Director Xiao's office. A woman answered the phone and I asked her to tell Director Xiao that someone named Liu Feng was looking for him.

Director Xiao arrived when the second class started, and he came to the classroom still accompanied by Vice President Zhou.

I walked out of the classroom and stood in the stairwell with him again. Since Wan Weili did not tell me which construction site Huang Xinwen was at in the neighboring town, I had to tell her the truth. I asked her, but she couldn't explain it clearly.

Director Xiao was extremely excited when he learned of this clue.

"That's great, Liu Feng, you are really my lucky star."

He happily slapped me on the shoulder, which made me stagger and almost fall.

Alas! Director Xiao treated me as his colleague and didn't even consider me as a little girl.

"Uncle Xiao, could you please be gentler and don't be too happy too soon? We don't even know which construction site it is at." I was a little speechless.

"Oh, sorry, Liu Feng, I was so excited that I didn't hurt you. You don't know if I hurt you. There has been no progress in the case these days. I am so worried. Don't worry. As long as you know that he is on the construction site, I will dig three feet into the ground to catch this unscrupulous guy."

He clasped his fists, turned around and was about to leave, but after taking two steps he turned back and said to me.

"Just wait. When the case is solved, you will definitely get some benefits."

I frowned, waved my hand, told him to go and handle the case, and then I went into the classroom.

Time flies, and it's the weekend again.

Qin Juhua and I had just reached the school gate when the familiar police car honked its horn again, and Chief Xiao, who was sitting in the passenger seat, waved at me.

I knew that there must be some problem with the Wan family's case again, so I asked Qin Juhua to send a message to my grandmother, saying that I would be back later in the evening.

So I got in the car. Director Xiao's face was flushed and he looked very energetic. He signaled the driver to drive away.

It turns out that the case has been solved, and they are holding a celebration banquet today. Of course, they cannot forget my great contribution.

I didn't want to go at first and wanted to go back to be with my grandma, but Director Xiao wouldn't let me go no matter what and said he wanted to report the details of the case to me.

"Uncle Xiao, this is too serious. Reporting to me? Aren't you afraid of shortening my life? I'm afraid I can't bear the responsibility." I said with a smile.

"You can afford it, of course you can. If it weren't for you, this case would never be solved. My future promotion and wealth will all depend on you." Director Xiao smiled gently.

In a restaurant, everyone had a happy meal. This case was so serious that the two criminal investigators from the city had toiled for more than 10 days without taking off their clothes.
