Although Wang Lanfen cannot speak, she is not illiterate.

Previously, the brigade commune had organized literacy training for its members, and she had always been one of the key members who had done well in the learning process.

Before Guan Xiaoling was around, she didn't dare to do anything rash, for fear that if she wasn't careful enough she would alert the other party and she would be killed, so she pretended to be sick and crazy all the time, and she has managed to hold on until now.

She took the pen and notebook provided by Guo Zhen, and although there were inevitably typos, she managed to stumble over and recount to Xie Beichen and the others what had happened.

Just as Xie Beichen had guessed before, the woman he captured was not the real Guan Xiaoling, but an imposter who had taken over someone else's home and repaid kindness with enmity.

This story begins five years ago.

Five years ago, Guan Xiaoling went to the town to deliver something to her aunt. On her way back, she met a little girl who had fainted on the side of the road.

She felt sorry for the little girl and rescued her without thinking too much.

But who would have thought that this little girl was not a good person, and her rescue was just a trap. Soon, when the family was not paying attention, she killed the defenseless Guan Xiaoling and took her place.

Guo Zhen didn't believe this statement at first.

After all, Guan Xiaoling was not young anymore at that time and was familiar with everyone in the village. Even if this man wanted to replace her, how could she explain to others that she had changed so much overnight?

Then, right in front of him, Xie Beichen tore off a piece of soft skin from the face of Guan Xiaoling, who was still trying to continue struggling, and the Guan Xiaoling in front of him instantly turned into another person!

"Human skin mask."

A trace of reluctance flashed across Xie Beichen's face. In order to avoid irritating Wang Lanfen next to him, he coughed softly, turned his head and said nothing more.

Guo Zhen stayed to ask Wang Lanfen some more details. Just as he was about to take the pale-faced Guan Xiaoling back, he saw Du Lan coming in from the door with a smile on her face. When she saw the scene in the room, she froze in place as if struck by lightning. It took her a long time to react. She looked at Xie Beichen and asked stutteringly, "Comrades, what happened?"

She was fine when she left just now, how come she turned around and...

"It's inconvenient to reveal too much to you right now." Guo Zhen stepped forward to stop Duran from getting closer, and whispered, "We need to take them back for investigation immediately, and we'll have to trouble you to help maintain order in the village.

After all, the matter we are investigating now needs to be kept confidential, so the fewer people who know about it, the better."

"I, I understand."

Du Lan was also an experienced person. When Guo Zhen spoke, she immediately understood what he meant and said hurriedly, "I will tell the villagers that it was you who wanted to take them to the city for treatment."

"Don't worry, this incident will not affect your team's selection."

Seeing Du Lan's cooperation, Guo Zhen was naturally happy to comfort her and immediately reciprocated her kindness.

Du Lan breathed a sigh of relief as her biggest worry was solved. She stopped asking questions and followed Guo Zhen and the others' request to help get Wang Lanfen and Guan Xiaoling to the departing car without alerting others.

Xie Beichen and his men did not waste any time. As soon as they brought the people back to the base, they immediately started questioning them.

It was also a sudden idea that came to Xie Beichen before he entered the inquiry room. He turned around and said to Lei Yong who was following him: "Go and bring Liu Weixiang over. Let him hear the voice of this 'Guan Xiaoling'."

Lei Yong was stunned. He was still somewhat puzzled by Xie Beichen's proposal, but since Xie Beichen had spoken, he did not object much and quickened his pace to make arrangements.

As soon as he entered the interrogation room, Xie Beichen saw Guan Xiaoling who was placed on the interrogation chair opposite. Although she had been arrested, there was no panic or tension on her face. Instead, she looked quite calm.

It was as if she was not being interrogated in the interrogation room, but was just relaxing at a friend's party.

"Name."

As soon as he sat down, Guo Zhen opened his notebook and began his first questioning of the woman in front of him.

Facing Guo Zhen's question, Guan Xiaoling, who was sitting on the chair, just lowered her head and did not intend to respond at all.

"age!"

"Hometown!"

……

There was no response to the series of questions, and even the best-tempered people could not hold back. Guo Zhen put down the pen in his hand and said in a very impolite tone: "I hope you can understand your current situation! Do you really think that if you don't speak up, we can't punish you?

Leniency if you confess, severity if you resist!

Your best option is to cooperate with us and accept the investigation!"

"A way out? You're really joking."

Guo Zhen's words finally elicited a response from the other party.

Guan Xiaoling raised her head slightly, looked at Guo Zhen with a bit of sarcasm, and said with a disdainful tone: "After being caught by you, I already knew that no matter what I do, it will be a dead end. In this case, what difference does it make whether I say it or not?

Since you said you can just punish me directly, why are you bothering to ask me here?"

"When we talk about a way out, it's not just for you, but also for your family."

Guo Zhen had not expected Xie Beichen to take the initiative to speak at this time. Moreover, his attitude was surprisingly calm, just like a chat between old friends.

At this point, Xie Beichen paused for a moment, then calmly glanced at Guan Xiaoling's reaction before continuing slowly, "Your parents, your sisters, your brothers... Do you have a better relationship with your older brother, or your younger brother?"

Xie Beichen asked slowly. When he mentioned his brother, he keenly noticed the subtle change in Guan Xiaoling's expression, and immediately continued to dig deeper along this line without leaving any trace.

"It seems that you have a better relationship with your brother? Then, judging from your age, your brother should have started a family now, right?

So, you are an aunt now too?

That should be great for your nephew or niece, right?"

Xie Beichen walked slowly back to his seat and sat down. After giving Guan Xiaoling some time to react, he changed the subject again. His expression suddenly became sharp, and he asked her solemnly, "Have you ever thought that what you are doing now will bring them a catastrophe?!"
