Chapter 202: Chapter 193 Second Update Captain Qin could no longer bother with bringing anything; he just went out into the rain directly. “Police comrade, what’s the matter?” The police spoke directly, “Yesterday evening, Qin Ye discovered a set of human bones on the mountain. We are here to investigate.” Upon hearing this, Huang Cuihua was nearly scared to death... Was this a homicide? Captain Qin was also startled. “Human bones? Which mountain?” His face was actually somewhat pale. He cursed Qin Ye half to death in his mind. This kid must be sick—in the face of such a major incident in the village, he didn’t even report it to him, the team leader. He should have told him last night. He wouldn’t be completely in the dark, clueless about the situation. After all, he was still the team leader! A life had been lost in the village, and yet he, the team leader, was completely oblivious. What would the police think of this, or the town’s commune? “On the northern mountain, I ask you, has anyone in your village gone missing or died accidentally without being buried in the past few years?” Upon hearing this, Captain Qin thought seriously for a moment, then shook his head, “It doesn’t seem so.” Who in the village died... and wouldn’t be buried in the cemetery? “What about outsiders? Have any passed through the village? I mean, apart from those intellectual youths assigned to your village.” Captain Qin considered it again, “There have been, I guess! But I don’t have a strong impression because even if there were, they didn’t stay for long before leaving.” The police asked a few other questions, then left upon realizing they couldn’t get anything more out of him. Captain Qin saw them go, but the tension in his heart did not ease. Huang Cuihua, who had been silent until now, found her voice again, “Head of the household, who do you think the deceased is?” Captain Qin immediately glared at her, “What’s it to you who it is? Don’t be nosy.” Huang Cuihua: “...” “Didn’t you see my clothes are all wet? Hurry up and find me some clothes... and a raincoat too. I’m going to Qin Ye’s house to have a look.” It wasn’t long before the whole village knew there seemed to be a homicide in their village. The Qin Family was no exception, and the police had also questioned them. Once they left, Qin Fugui began gossiping, “Who do you think the deceased is? There haven’t been any accidental deaths in our village!” A shadow of gloom flitted across Qin Fulin’s eyes. But none of the Qin Family noticed it. The Qin Family was quite superstitious about death, especially the two elders; the older they got, the more fearful they became of such matters. So when the youngest son spoke, both Old Man Qin and Old Lady Wang were quite unhappy. They both glared at the youngest son, growling, “Shut up.” Old Lady Wang also rarely scolded her youngest son with such a stern voice, “Why are you blabbering about such unlucky matters? It’s none of our business who the dead person is. We didn’t kill them.” Talking about this first thing in the morning, aren’t the police being a bit thoughtless? Qin Fugui was silenced by the scolding. Alright then! If you say don’t talk about it, then I won’t. He then turned his head, “Qin Fulin, why do you look so guilty and afraid? Did you do something wrong?” As soon as he said this, all eyes in the Qin Family turned to Qin Fulin, and his face turned ashen. He glared at Qin Fugui, his eyes fiercer than ever. “Shut up. Who’s guilty and afraid? If you can’t keep your mouth shut, I don’t mind sewing it up for you.” Qin Fugui was startled by his ferocity. “...I was just saying it casually, why are you so fierce? Or is it... are you really feeling guilty?” These words truly enraged Qin Fulin. He nearly lost control and punched Qin Fugui’s face. “Father, if you don’t make him shut his mouth, I won’t bring money home anymore.” If it weren’t for the police still being in the village, he would have definitely given Qin Fugui a good beating. Old Man Qin looked at this son, saw his serious expression, and then turned to scold his youngest son, “Keep it down.” Qin Fugui wasn’t convinced and was about to say something more... but seeing his father and Qin Fulin’s unpleasant expressions, and with Qin Fulian looking truly terrifying, as if he would really kill him if he spoke another word, he muttered in defeat, “Fine, I won’t say anything...” Qin Fulin didn’t linger any longer, he returned to his room with a dazed look... The lighting in the room wasn’t very good, and the half-light made his expression even more sullen and frightening. His wife pushed the door and entered. When she saw her husband sitting on the kang, silent and brooding... she felt a bit intimidated. Still, she cautiously asked, “What’s wrong, child’s father?” Qin Fulin suddenly looked up, “Go out... I have a headache, I want to be alone for a while.” His wife was stunned for a moment, “...Alright, fine.” Then she turned and left, shutting the door behind her as she did. Meanwhile, Qin Ye had gone up the mountain with the police again. So when the team leader came to Qin Ye’s house, of course, he wasn’t there. “When will Qin Ye come back?” Rong Yan saw the team leader’s displeased face and understood his thoughts. However, she didn’t care. After all, she didn’t have a good impression of the team leader and didn’t feel the need to cater to his emotions. “I don’t know, that depends on the police. They’ll let him come back when they’re done.” Captain Qin: ... He held back, but couldn’t keep quiet. “Qin Ye’s wife, why didn’t Qin Ye mention any of this to me yesterday?” “The team leader, it’s not our fault. The police requested confidentiality. We couldn’t say anything until they spoke up.” Captain Qin’s face didn’t improve, “But you could have told me before making the report, right?” Rong Yan: “How do we mention such a serious matter? Of course, we had to report it to the police first. But we were also very scared at the time, so we didn’t think too much about it. Please don’t blame us, team leader.” Captain Qin choked on his words, unable to vent his frustration. “...Fine, I’m not blaming you. I was just casually asking. Well, since he’s not here, I’ll go back first. If Qin Ye returns, tell him to find me.” Rong Yan nonchalantly nodded her head. “Alright! I’ll tell him. But if you want to ask about the case, you might as well not bother. Such matters are for the police to handle; we don’t have the right to discuss them freely.”
