Although this photo was from several years ago, an impending calamity could still be discerned. Coupled with the collapse of the fated person’s Parents Palace, it indeed indicated that the latter had not survived a major tribulation. "Please tell me clearly, Master, what exactly happened to my mother!" The fated person’s heart was now suspended. Actually, with no news of his mother for so many years, he already had an idea in his heart; he had just been deceiving himself. Now that the master had spoken so frankly, he knew it was useless to play dumb anymore. Either way, it was a blow, so he took the initiative to speak. "Uncle, do you have a photo of your stepfather?" However, to the fated person’s surprise, the master didn’t answer directly but instead asked about his stepfather. The fated person paused, not quite understanding the connection between the two. "Let me look for one!" Because he had left home at a very young age, he had had almost no interaction with his stepfather. It was only this time, when he returned home to investigate his mother’s disappearance, that the two had come into contact and added each other on WeChat. And when he said he’d look, he meant checking the latter’s WeChat Moments, to see if there were any photos. Generally, people of his stepfather’s age mostly enjoyed taking selfies. The result did not disappoint him; he actually found one. It was a family photo, featuring him, the children he had with his ex-wife, and also his granddaughter and grandson. A large family, looking harmonious and happy. The fated person, for some reason, suddenly felt uncomfortable looking at this scene. Because he knew that the matter of his own mother’s disappearance had already been forgotten in the family she had desperately tried to rebuild back then. "When a person dies, it’s like a lamp extinguished" – that saying was absolutely correct! "Master, I’ve sent you the photo. Please take a look." The fated person took a deep breath and quickly composed himself. Then, he saved the photo and sent it to the master’s backend. "Okay-dokey!" Yaoyao replied, her gaze turning to the photo. Her first glance naturally fell on the person in the center wearing a Zhongshan suit. The latter’s hair was completely white, combed meticulously. Now in his old age, his figure was stooped, but one could still see that he had been tall in his youth. This was actually quite normal. If his physique and appearance had been ordinary, given the fated person’s mother’s looks back then, she probably wouldn’t have been interested. But this wasn’t Yaoyao’s focus. She was looking at the latter’s facial reading, and upon seeing it, she fell silent. Because the latter’s Spouse Palace showed an inauspicious transformation leading to ’sha’ (baleful influence). An inauspicious transformation was already bad, and for the palace to then attract ’sha’ was to add evil upon evil! In short, this was the facial reading of a "wife-killer"! The fated person’s mother had not gone missing; she had died at the hands of this stepfather of his. "You should report this to the police directly. Your mother actually never went missing. She was just... murdered!" "The murderer is this stepfather of yours, whom you’ve barely met!" Yaoyao said slowly. This result was cruel, but Yaoyao still had to say it. Because if she didn’t, the murderer who killed the fated person’s mother would continue to be at large, enjoying a peaceful life that didn’t belong to him. This news was too shocking; the fated person’s mind instantly went blank. "H-how could this be!" He had never expected that the master asking for his stepfather’s photo would lead to such a result! This was "wife-killing"! This world is so vast; what great fate must it take to become husband and wife in this lifetime? Even if not supporting each other through thick and thin, there should still be feelings. What kind of hatred, what kind of resentment, would lead to this point? The fated person’s eyes were red at this moment. He thought of how the latter had feigned deep affection for his mother in front of him, and waves of nausea churned in his stomach! He didn’t suspect the master would lie to him. After all, this was a live broadcast, in front of the entire internet; the master had no reason to tell this lie. However, while he believed it, the netizens exploded, especially the newcomers who didn’t understand the situation. [What’s wrong with this doll!] [Killing one’s wife is punishable by death. If it’s true, fine. If it’s false, slander can lead to imprisonment.] [Does this program team have any humanity? Fabricating such a script? Letting an underage doll bear legal responsibility? They’ve thrown away all face just to attract attention!] They didn’t think Yaoyao was telling this lie. After all, how would a three-and-a-half-year-old doll understand these things? It could only be that the program team was deceiving an ignorant child and randomly assigning her lines! But this statement was quickly refuted. [Those who don’t understand, just shut your mouths first. This isn’t the first time the master has solved such a case. The police have officially expressed their gratitude several times.] [Not to mention, the master’s popularity is already ridiculously high. Does she still need to attract attention?] [Is this looking down on the master, or looking down on the Gu family? Fated person, report it to the police quickly, or the police will dispatch a team directly soon!] This was no joke. Due to the master’s repeated meritorious deeds, police officers had long been stationed in the live stream room. If the fated person didn’t report it now, the police department would take action internally soon. The number of fans in the live stream room was enormous, and the comments from the newcomers were instantly drowned out. They were hopping mad. But they couldn’t win the argument, and holding their breath, they were unwilling to leave. They were determined to see today just how this person would "flip their car" (fail spectacularly). "Uncle, you can go directly to the police station. You don’t need to close the live stream!" Yaoyao said in her clear, crisp voice. Too much time had passed since this incident; it wouldn’t be easy for the police to find evidence. She had to give the fated person some guidance. "Okay, I’ll report it now!" The fated person nodded without thinking. Because he was live streaming, he couldn’t make a phone call. Fortunately, there was a phone booth nearby. He walked over quickly and dialed the emergency number. Not long after, patrol officers arrived in a police car. The fated person got into the police car and gave them the address. The wailing siren echoed continuously in his ears. The fated person was very tense. At this moment, the police officer in the car began to question him. "Please explain in detail the incident you are reporting and the process of your discovery!" The police team leader in charge of the arrest looked up at him and said slowly. For such murder cases, before they arrested someone, they needed the informant to clarify the incident to serve as testimony during the arrest. "This... this..." The fated person was stunned. The reason was simple: he couldn’t answer. All the information for his report came from the master. When the police asked for details, he naturally couldn’t answer. "What? Is there some difficulty?" The team leader glanced over. He didn’t suspect the fated person would file a false report. After all, to file a false report and still dare to get into a police car – he had never seen such a thing in his life. So, he believed the other party was facing some difficulty. The team leader was just about to open his mouth to comfort him and tell him not to be nervous when he heard a clear, crisp voice from the latter’s phone. "Police Uncle, let me tell you. Uncle Fated Person, give your phone to Police Uncle." "Okay!" Hearing this, the fated person, as if encountering a savior, quickly handed over his phone. The police officer who took the phone was stunned at first. He hadn’t expected this turn of events. How could the person reporting the crime not be able to explain it clearly? However, he only hesitated for a moment before quickly recovering. He was a little puzzled by the voice. When he took the phone and saw the person on the screen, his eyes widened instantly. He quickly turned his head to look at the fated person, the meaning in his eyes exceptionally clear, "Are you kid filing a false police report?" Letting a three-and-a-half-year-old doll explain a murder case? Old buddy, how absurd is that! Under the immense weight of his professionalism, he managed not to have his colleagues drive the car back to the station. But he really couldn’t bring himself to question this little milk-doll. But soon, his expression changed, because the little doll began to speak. She not only stated the reason for the report, the incident, and the time, but she even mentioned where the victim’s body might be hidden. Word for word, flawless. The team leader’s head was buzzing. Perhaps because the latter’s account was too clear, upon seeing the person to be arrested, the team leader reiterated some key points. During this, he kept observing the arrestee’s emotions. When he mentioned that the body was hidden under the bed, the latter’s face instantly changed. Even though he quickly concealed it, as a police officer, he was very precise in gauging emotions. He actually killed someone? And hid the body under the bed? His expression instantly turned grim. He turned his head and instructed his colleague beside him, "Go search the room directly!" "No, you can’t do this!" The fated person’s stepfather, his face ugly, tried to stop them, but was held back by the police. His current state already spoke volumes. And not long after, the searching police officer came out holding a ceramic jar. "Reporting to Captain, we found this. It has been checked, and it indeed contains ashes!" the searching officer said. Although the identity of the ashes was not yet confirmed, it was obvious: what normal person would hide ashes under their bed? As for confirming the identity of the ashes, it wasn’t difficult; a DNA test later would clarify everything. "It was you! It was really you who killed my mother! How could you do this to her? You’re truly an animal!" The fated person’s eyes instantly reddened. He had already trusted Yaoyao greatly. Now, hearing her words and seeing ashes dug up from his stepfather’s house, how could he not understand what had happened? This stepfather of his, a beast in human clothing, had killed his mother and even placed her under the bed. How dared this person! What was even more terrifying was that, thankfully, he had met the master. Otherwise, would this secret have been hidden by him for a lifetime? How could he not hate him! If the police hadn’t stopped him, he would have already rushed over to strangle the man. He tried hard to calm himself down. Because he couldn’t go to jail for a murderer! Seeing that he had restrained himself, a gratified smile appeared on the police officer’s face. He said solemnly, "Rest assured, we will definitely give the deceased the justice she deserves. Please believe us!" "Thank you!" The fated person’s voice trembled uncontrollably. He hated himself. If he hadn’t left the province back then, or if he had firmly opposed his mother’s remarriage – given how much his mother doted on him, if he had desperately tried to stop her, she would have definitely given up in the end. But he had chosen the stupidest method, not only hurting others but also himself! A moment of pique had led him to completely ruin a lifetime of mother-son affection. The fated person closed his eyes in pain. He tried hard to stop them, but he couldn’t hold back the tears that rolled down his face.
