The Bank Burglary Case (15) Chapter 15 Yun Song should have returned to town. There was a body there, along with the young Liao couple. Yun Song's original plan had been to visit the village herself to scout the situation. A forensic doctor was supposed to come from the city, and she would definitely have headed back by then.

- The Bank Burglary Case (11) Chapter 11 The family was even a bit tempted to go up the hill and see exactly who it was.

- The Bank Burglary Case (9) Chapter 9 Yun Song slept until the afternoon. When she woke up in a daze, a group of children happened to be having a physical education class on the playground outside the school dormitory. She woke to the rhythmic "one, two, three, four" of the children's drills. Upon waking, her clothes were almost entirely soaked with sweat. Her neck and forehead were covered in perspiration. The sunlight was still struggling to force its way into the room. Yun Song stood up to…
