"Impossible!" Wu Wanqiu suddenly erupted after being helped to the sofa by the police, shouting at the top of her lungs: "My son can't possibly have anything to do with those people. It's impossible, absolutely impossible. You must be mistaken!"

Su Jing was awakened by Wu Wanqiu's roar. Only then did she feel her soul returning to her body and her ability to move again. She quickly ran to Wu Wanqiu's side and supported her, standing with her with a firm gaze.

"Comrade police officer, it's impossible for my son to take drugs." Wu Wanqiu's voice was tearful, but her eyes were unusually firm.

The police officer looked at them coldly and said, "We will investigate carefully whether he is taking drugs or involved in drug trafficking. Now please calm down and cooperate with us."

"My son is a good student. You can go to the school to investigate! He studies at home every day and never goes out. He just got admitted to a school in Beijing. How can he have the time to deal with those things?" Wu Wanqiu was extremely emotional, crying with tears all over her face. Her voice involuntarily became much higher, sharp and harsh, with disbelief and anger.

"We came to your house because we had evidence. Do you think the police would just knock on any door?"

Su Jing pulled Wu Wanqiu's clothes and whispered, "Let them search first. We haven't been out of the house yet. Xiaoyi will be fine."

"Really, really, is it true?" Wu Wanqiu's face was full of tears and her eyes were at a loss. She turned her head and looked at Su Jing as if asking for help.

"Really? He's been with me for the past three years. I know for sure he didn't do anything. Maybe something happened with his old friend, and the police are just expanding the scope of the investigation according to procedure." Su Jing couldn't guess what was going on, so she could only calm Wu Wanqiu down first.

Wu Wanqiu grabbed Su Jing's hand, which was ice-cold and trembling constantly.

Seeing Wu Wanqiu gradually calm down, the first police officer who came in shouted to the outside of the door: "Come in."

Su Jing and Wu Wanqiu followed his voice and looked outside the door. The first person who came in was actually a black dog head!

No way! Su Jing's scalp was numb. The police dog had come, so it must not be groundless.

Su Jing felt as if Wu Wanqiu's entire body had been forcibly ripped out of her bones, and she fell limply downward. At the same time, her own legs suddenly became numb, and she felt completely powerless. A strong sense of powerlessness instantly surged over her, making her feel like she would collapse to the ground as well.

Su Jing took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and helped Wu Wanqiu up again, carefully letting her sit on the sofa. Su Jing also gasped for breath, trying to calm her inner panic and anxiety.

After catching her breath a little, Su Jing raised her head tremblingly, looked at the policeman with forced composure, and said in a slightly trembling but controlled voice, "Uncle Policeman, what is your name?"

"My surname is Chen."

"Officer Chen," Su Jing's voice hesitated and trembled, "Could you please give us a little more details?"

As he spoke, the officer's gaze, which had been fixed on the police dog, slowly shifted to her face. He sized Su Jing up and down with a cold, expressionless gaze for a long moment before speaking slowly, "He recently met with someone nicknamed Duck, and we've already arrested him. Therefore, we must investigate and verify anyone who has had recent contact with this person."

Hearing this, Su Jing's heart skipped a beat. He pondered, "Are those major events in the timeline truly unchangeable? But he'd barely been around that gang for the past three years. How could he suddenly be implicated by them again? It shouldn't be that bad, right? Yes, it definitely won't be! No way! It definitely won't be!"

The policeman holding the police dog nodded to the policeman who showed his ID first, indicating that they were ready.

Officer Chen said to Wu Wanqiu, "We are about to begin the search. Please cooperate."

Su Jing glanced at Wu Wanqiu, who was almost stunned, and helplessly said to the police on her behalf: "The doors of the house are all open."

Officer Chen nodded to the policeman leading the police dog, and he began to move around the room with the police dog.

Su Jing's eyes followed the majestic black and yellow German Shepherd as it walked around the house.

The police dog sniffed around the room, its nose twitching constantly, as if searching for some clue. It started in the living room and carefully searched along the corners, sofas, tables and other places.

After walking around the first floor, the policeman with the police dog walked up to Officer Chen and stood at attention and saluted. The German Shepherd immediately stood at attention beside him.

"not found."

Officer Chen looked at the second floor, and the policeman immediately led the German Shepherd up there again.

The first room was Wu Wanqiu's. Su Jing watched them enter and then, a few minutes later, they came out again. There was no response; she simply hadn't noticed.

Then, the man and the dog went into the study again and came out again after a while. It was obvious that they still hadn't discovered it.

There is only the storage room and Jiang Yi's room left. Su Jing thought, if there is still nothing, then everything should be fine, right?

May the Buddha bless you, may the Bodhisattva Guanyin bless you, may God bless you...

She was still guessing in her heart and praying to the gods and Buddhas, when the black back dog had already walked to the door of Jiang Yi's room. Suddenly, she saw the black back dog's tail wagging faster.

The police dog suddenly became excited, its tail wagging non-stop, and a low whimpering sound coming from its mouth. It pulled the police officer holding it and rushed towards Jiang Yi's room.

Su Jing's heart sank. How could this be? A police dog wouldn't lie. It must have discovered something by reacting this way!

Officer Chen walked up the stairs and stood at the door, his eyes fixed on the black dog's every move. The black dog was spinning rapidly in the room, its nose opening and closing constantly, its long tongue hanging out, dripping with saliva.

Su Jing looked up at the second floor. She also wanted to go up and take a look, but her legs did not obey her at all. They were soft and had no strength at all. She could not take a single step.

The black back dog was like a spinning compass. After quickly turning around the room several times, it seemed to have determined its direction. It whimpered a few times in front of the wardrobe, then sat beside it and looked at the police with expectant eyes.

The policeman with the dog walked forward, opened all the doors of the closet, and took a look at the black back. The black back immediately stood up again and put his head into the closet, making some obvious breathing sounds from his nose, as if he was trying hard to inhale the air inside.

"Woo woo..." After a moment, the black back seemed to have bitten something. It took two steps back and pulled the thing out, bringing out two pieces of clothing and dropping them on the ground.

The German Shepherd pulled a belt and slowly sat down on the ground, looking at the policeman who was leading it with expectant eyes again.

"We've found something." The policeman holding the German Shepherd looked at Officer Chen and said, then reached out to take the strap from the German Shepherd's mouth and pulled it out.

Officer Chen kept his eyes fixed on him, his expression becoming tense.

This is a gray men's backpack. The policeman holding the black backpack took out the backpack and nodded to Officer Chen, giving him a look of mission accomplished.

Officer Chen took a look at the bag and turned to go downstairs.

When Su Jing saw the policeman walking out of the room with the bag, her mind went blank! How could this happen? He clearly wasn't with those people, so how could such a thing appear in his room?

I am with him every day, so how could he have time to be with those people?

She was thinking about Jiang Yi's whereabouts in the past year. He hadn't spent any time with those people. She couldn't figure it out, and her eyes were fixed on the gray men's backpack in the policeman's hand.

Officer Chen walked up to them, pulled a pair of rubber gloves from his pocket, put them on, and took the gift. His eyes darted across Su Jing and Wu Wanqiu's faces like knives, making Su Jing feel uneasy.

This thing was found in his room, and since I live here, could I be connected to this? If I were also taken in for investigation, I wouldn't be implicated, but if time was delayed, would I still be able to report in time? What if it took even longer? Would I still be able to leave here?

Officer Chen kept looking at them, not knowing what he was thinking.

Wu Wanqiu finally reacted after Officer Chen walked up to her. Too small, she could only look up at Officer Chen, her eyes filled with anxiety, fixed on the gray backpack in her hands, unblinking, as if a monster would escape from the bag if she relaxed even a little.

Su Jing's eyes were also fixed on the bag. She gritted her teeth, her lips turned pale, and her fingers were clenched so tightly that they turned blue.

As if certain of something, Officer Chen finally withdrew his gaze from them and looked at the bag in his hand. He slowly reached into the bag, his movements cautious, and after grabbing something, he slowly took it out.

A pack of tissues, a pack of used cigarettes, a lighter, and two keys strung together. When he reached in again, it seemed that the bag was empty.

Su Jing and Wu Wanqiu looked at each other, wanting to breathe a sigh of relief, but their tense nerves still refused to relax.

However, the police dog still looked at the bag with anticipation. Officer Chen also noticed the expression of the black-backed dog and began to pinch the bag carefully with both hands, feeling every inch of the touch in his hands.

Suddenly, Su Jing saw that his hands were clenched in one position and did not move. Her pupils immediately dilated, fear filled her eyes, and her heart instantly rose to her throat. She stared at Officer Chen's hand closely.

Wu Wanqiu grabbed Su Jing's hand and tightened it, leaving several deep dents on the back of her hand. However, she didn't notice the pain at all. She just stared at the place where the policeman's hand was pinching, without blinking, and her breathing seemed to have stopped.

Officer Chen pinched the bag a few times, confirming that there was something else inside. He then returned his cold gaze to Su Jing and Wu Wanqiu, his gaze like an ice knife, chilling them both. He pulled a small knife from his pocket and held it in his hand, the blade gleaming coldly in the light.

After glancing at the two again, Officer Chen lowered his head and used the tip of his knife to pry open a side of the bag. After sheathing the knife, his gaze returned to Su Jing and Wu Wanqiu's faces, examining them. He reached in with two fingers and rummaged around, slowly pulling out a white plastic bag.

The bag wasn't big, but Su Jing could see some red pills and several smaller plastic bags filled with white powder. Those few red dots stung her eyes and her heartbeat went haywire.

Officer Chen handed the bag to them, shook it, and then put it back in his bag. A fleeting sneer appeared on his lips, and he turned to the police officer holding the black dog and said, "Let's go."

When Su Jing and Wu Wanqiu saw this scene, their faces turned pale and their bodies trembled involuntarily. They didn't know why this happened, and their minds were blank.

Officer Chen followed the police dog out, while another officer walked up to them and said, "Come on, you also need to make a statement."

Su Jing calmed herself down and said, "Officer, we can guarantee that this bag is not Jiang Yi's, not even..."

Before she could finish her words, the officer interrupted her and said, "We will investigate the situation. We will never wrongly accuse a good person, nor will we let a bad person go. Just follow us."

"But..." Su Jing wanted to say something, but Wu Wanqiu had already collapsed on the ground with empty eyes, and could no longer get up.
