After her transformation and rebirth, she manipulates the innocent and ruthless to overthrow the wor

In stark contrast to the bustling capital, Dirty Street, though located outside the city, was a desolate place. Everywhere there were ruins and crumbling walls, the scene was utterly bleak, and the streets were filled with impoverished people, some of whom couldn't even be called ordinary citizens.

Xiao Ran gently removed her veil and put on a bamboo hat, along with the clothes she had prepared to wear as a chivalrous hero. Instantly, she blended into the atmosphere of the dirty street.

Pei Shaoqing and Qi Sizhi, standing to the side, looked at each other blankly.

The reason was that before they came to the dirty street, Xiao Ran had specially found two pieces of tattered cloth outside the capital and draped them over their bodies.

At first, Qi Sizhi thought that Xiao Ran's actions were an insult to them. However, when he actually stepped into the dirty street, he was shocked to find that if it weren't for these two tattered cloths, they would probably have scared the people of the dirty street away as soon as they entered.

Looking at the impoverished and destitute lives of the people in the dirty street, Pei Shaoqing fell silent.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran simply smiled inwardly.

How could people like them, born with a silver spoon in their mouths, possibly understand the hardships of life?

"Pei Shaoqing, do you know where that case took place?" Xiao Ran asked.

Pei Shaoqing was slightly taken aback, then slowly replied, "It is said to be a dilapidated house in the east."

Xiao Ran nodded slightly and walked towards the east.

Along the way, they witnessed the daily lives of many people in the dirty streets. Some were barely surviving by picking up leftover leaves from vegetable vendors on the street, some were huddled in corners in tattered clothes, shivering, and some even dragged their weak bodies through the mud just to stuff insects jumping on the ground into their mouths.

Pei Shaoqing instinctively reached out to stop him, but stopped halfway. What could he possibly do to stop him?

Xiao Ran glanced at them coldly and said indifferently, "If you try to stop them now, they will think you are someone who steals their food."

Pei Shaoqing's face showed deep shock and pity. He had never imagined that there was such a group of people living in such a difficult situation outside the capital.

He's always been engrossed in solving cases on paper, so why has no one ever told him these things?!

“Now the government hates displaced people. Even if Minister Pei wants to change things, I’m afraid he’ll be powerless to do so.” After saying this, Xiao Ran walked straight into the dilapidated house in front of her.

Pei Shaoqing listened and then lowered his eyes to ponder.

Qi Sizhi felt an overwhelming sense of fear when he saw her enter so decisively.

After all, this is where children went missing... and so many days have passed without any clues... could it be... could it be...

This place really is a cannibalistic place!

But the next second, he saw his superior, Pei Shaoqing, walk in without hesitation.

Qi Sizhi looked helpless: "..."

There was no other way but to grit his teeth and follow them inside.

Stepping into this dilapidated house, a musty, damp, and decaying smell immediately hits you. Darkness, like thick ink, tightly envelops everything.

Her eyes struggled to adjust in the darkness, but she could only vaguely make out blurry outlines.

He had no choice but to take out a tinderbox from his pocket, blow on it, and the room became bright.

Inside, the walls were covered with cracks, and old, rotten items were piled up in the corners, some of which were so decayed that they were unrecognizable. The floor was uneven, and you could feel the roughness under your feet with every step.

As soon as Pei Shaoqing entered the room, he looked around with a serious expression, not missing a single corner.

Qi Sizhi, however, felt a chill run down his spine from the eerie wind that seemed to come from nowhere. He shrank back and said tremblingly, "This seems to be just an ordinary house. Perhaps... we should go out and look around somewhere else."

His voice trembled slightly in the silent space, carrying a hint of barely concealed fear.

Suddenly, Pei Shaoqing seemed to have noticed something and said:

“Come and see this place.”
