Chapter 78: Sudden Death Strictly speaking, Qin Qing belonged to the technical team—non-combat personnel. She wasn’t required to work overtime.

For several consecutive days, she had been meeting with the families of the missing. To protect her identity, the police station arranged for her not to meet them face-to-face. Separated by a two-way mirror, a regular…-

Chapter 79: Deduction Cheng Ling didn’t seem to expect Qin Qing to address him directly. He froze for a moment before hurriedly standing up. “Greetings, Daoist.” His face looked a bit fuller, but the oversized Taoist robe still hung loosely on him. Yet, his calm demeanor gave him the air of an ascetic Taoist practitioner. Qin Qing: “Something on your mind?” “I haven’t yet thanked you in person for saving my life. I’m truly ashamed.” Tch… why did his manner of speaking…

Weren’t we supposed to intercept Yan Miao?” Qin Qing felt like she and Lin Feng were playing a game of “turtle soup.” In this game, someone suddenly comes alive, someone suddenly dies.

Chapter 71: Kowtow “When Senior Brother is cooking, he doesn’t like others to interrupt, so we usually don’t ask. We just eat whatever he makes.” A culinary mystery box? Not a bad idea, actually—adds a touch of surprise. “I’m not picky. I eat everything.” Wuyong glanced at her, drew in a breath, opened her mouth as if to speak, then shut it again. Qin Qing said, “If you have something to say, just say it. You staying quiet like this is making me uncomfortable.” “I…

Chapter 74 – Lung Cancer Are all kids this whimsical in their thinking nowadays? For once, Qin Qing couldn’t find the right words to comfort him. The child’s face remained sad. “If we didn’t pick them, they could’ve stayed in Mama’s arms until they got old.” Qin Qing squatted down, cupping the boy’s cheeks in her hands, and told him, “To stay alive, we humans have to pick lots of fruits and vegetables.” The child said, “But these two fruits didn’t get to grow old…

Chapter 75: Unexpected Encounter Cheng Ling looked toward Qin Qing. His wife, Yun Rui, noticed and, following his gaze, also spotted Qin Qing. Qin Qing didn’t shy away. She approached them with composure. “Dear guests, is there anything you need help with?” Cheng Ling glanced at her, then at Zhang Haochen standing beside her, and shook his head. He placed the three sticks of incense into the large incense burner. Qin Qing said, “Then I won’t disturb you two. Please, take your…

Chapter 76 – Treatment The group that had gone to pick persimmons soon returned, their baskets full. At the head of the procession walked the female Daoist and the child. Each carried a palm-sized basket, only big enough for two or three persimmons. They strolled along, swaying as they walked, like they were playing a game. Behind them, the young Daoist priest carried a heavy basket on his back but moved slowly, never overtaking the two ahead. As the group passed along a narrow path below the…
