Sister Wu was stunned. "Maybe I was in a hurry yesterday and didn't find the right tools in the house?"

Fu Chen tapped the table lightly with his fingers without saying anything.

About ten seconds later, Fu Chen raised his eyes and asked again: "Sister Wu, are you sure Liu Meilan is the Liu Meilan from Sanlian Village?"

Sister Wu was startled, thought carefully, and then answered: "Yesterday was the first time I met Liu Meilan, but the villagers of Sanlian Village, Liu Meilan's parents, and the Sun family have watched Liu Meilan grow up since she was a child, so it is impossible for them to make a mistake!"

"Captain Fu, I'm curious, why do you suspect Liu Meilan? What's suspicious about her? If it doesn't violate the rules, you can tell me, so that I can have another idea."

Fu Chen replied: "The place where we rescued Liu Meilan last night is ten nautical miles away from Sanlian Island. She jumped into the sea from Sanlian Island and was still safe and sound. This is one of the suspicious points."

"Secondly, there was not even a fishing net on the fishing boat that Liu Meilan was fishing on, but she managed to pull up a sonar reconnaissance device. This is unprecedented and unheard of."

"Third, she is so beautiful! All the reasons for settling down on Sifang Island seem reasonable, but as long as there are doubts, I will take them seriously."

Hearing these doubts, Sister Wu thought of the bad influence caused by the beautiful woman two years ago. "Since you have doubts, I will accompany you there early tomorrow morning. Can you check it yourself?"

After the drill, Fu Chen had two days off. "Sorry to bother you, Sister Wu!"

Sister Wu waved her hands, very conscious, "We are all serving the people. After all, the beautiful spy case two years ago is still fresh in our memory. We are a military base here, so of course we have to be extremely cautious."

The next morning, Liu Meilan got up early.

She bought two bowls of dumplings at the breakfast stall, with thin skin and tender fillings.

Eat one bite at a time, paired with hot soup, a bowl in the morning will warm your heart and stomach and keep you energetic all day long!

Liu Meilan was out fishing and couldn't come back at noon, so she bought a few triangle cakes to take with her.

She just watched the boss fry it, and it tasted so good that she couldn't help but eat one.

When she got home, Grandma Wang was about to make breakfast when she saw Liu Meilan had bought breakfast. She said angrily, "Girl, if you want to eat flatbread, tell me and I'll buy some meat and make it for you."

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "I just happened to be buying some food for lunch, so I bought breakfast at the same time. Grandma Wang, eat it while it's hot."

Seeing Liu Meilan's enthusiasm and kindness, Grandma Wang did not refuse. "Old Zhou's flatbread is famous on our Sifang Island. You are a good eater. You bought the one with the best taste."

Liu Meilan smiled. Actually, it was her first time to eat it, but she had seen it on TV in her previous life, so she had to try it.

After dinner, Liu Meilan took the triangle cakes she bought in the morning and a kettle of boiling water and went to the military dock to go fishing.

At this time, Liu Meilan had no idea that an investigation against her was quietly beginning.

Fu Chen and Sister Wu came to the Liu family in Sanlian Island together.

Seeing Sister Wu coming over again, Liu Fugui frowned, his dark face full of disdain, and said unhappily: "Didn't you check everything yesterday? Why are you here again? Did that damn girl know she was wrong and was too embarrassed to come back, so she asked you to intercede for her?"

Fu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly. Liu Meilan's parents were indeed patriarchal.

Sister Wu avoided the main point and said, "There are still things that need to be investigated. Where did Liu Fugui and Liu Meilan live before?"

Liu Fugui was already very angry because of Liu Meilan's disobedience, so he slammed the door and spoke in a pretentious tone.

"That damn girl has grown too powerful. If she doesn't come back and kowtow and admit her fault, I won't let her in."

Sister Wu frowned, her expression serious. "It's not Liu Meilan who wants to come back now, it's us police who want to investigate. Now is a period of severe crackdown, you don't want to be detained for obstructing public service, right?"

“You…” Liu Fugui had a bad temper, but he didn’t have the courage to attack the police.

Mother Liu came out of the kitchen, smiling, and pointed to the small wooden house next to the woodshed. "Before, I thought Meilan was going to get married, so I didn't bother moving into the tile house. It's more convenient to live in a wooden house."

Following the direction Liu's mother pointed, Sister Wu and Fu Chen looked over and gasped.

Is this where people live? It's almost like a doghouse!

A small shed made of several pieces of wood, covered with several layers of plastic sheets to protect against wind and rain.

Fu Chen's eyes darkened slightly, he strode over and pushed the door open.

He was 1.88 meters tall and could only bend over to get in. The room was a little dark and he could only see the furnishings inside through the light coming in from the door.

The bed made of two wooden boards is only 60 centimeters. I would probably fall off if I turned over.

The pillow was made of old clothes stuffed inside old clothes, and there was a thin quilt full of patches.

On the small table made of wood and stones next to the bed, there were junior high school books and an English dictionary with slightly frayed edges.

This is what Liu Meilan mentioned. Fu Chen picked up the English dictionary while wearing gloves and checked it. The color of the paper inside had changed, and there were signs that it was frequently flipped through.

In addition, Fu Chen also found a notebook.

It contains a diary.

Not every day, but at least one a week. Fu Chen turned to the end and saw that it was three days ago.

The girl is preparing to get married with the expectation of a better life.

These contents were all normal, the only thing that was abnormal was the font and handwriting. Although neat, it was far from as beautiful as the one Liu Meilan had filled out last night.

Writing characters cannot be mastered in one day.

What’s more, Liu Meilan hasn’t touched a pen since she wrote this diary. How could she possibly write such beautiful characters?

Fu Chen put Liu Meilan's diary and dictionary in his bag and checked the shack again. He didn't find anything suspicious about the worn and patched clothes.

Sister Wu asked Liu's mother some more details about Liu Meilan, and then went to Sun's house.

Sun Jianyou and Sun Jianan have been detained, and their father and mother are at home with worried faces.

Seeing Sister Wu bringing people over, Sun's mother begged quickly, her eyes rolling around, "Public Security Officer Wu, please release my son quickly? My son has been wrongly accused. It's all a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding!"

Sister Wu frowned. "Whether she was wronged or not, the judge will decide. Where are Liu Meilan's things?"

When Sun's mother heard this, her voice suddenly rose, "The Liu family is so poor, and our daughter is a money-loser. How could we possibly give her a dowry? There are only two mahogany boxes with a few new clothes in them, bought by my family!"

When he checked the so-called "new house", it was exactly as Sun's mother had said, and Fu Chen did not find any clues.

Those clothes were also hidden by Sun's mother and were not allowed to be taken away.

Fu Chen looked carefully, his eyes falling on the window that had not been repaired yet, and the surrounding furnishings.

There is a bed in the "new house".

There is a thermos on the table beside the bed, a wardrobe at the foot of the bed, and a washbasin rack at the door.

In a panic, Liu Meilan hit Sun Jianyou with the bedside lamp. Unable to find a suitable weapon, running away was indeed a wise move.

Coming out of Sun's house, Sister Wu asked curiously, "Fu Chen, what did you find?"

Fu Chen pondered for a moment, then answered carefully: "I have some findings, but it is confidential and cannot be disclosed. In addition, Liu Meilan lives in the home of an old man named Wang near the police station, so I would like to trouble Sister Wu to help keep an eye on her. If Liu Meilan behaves abnormally, please tell me immediately!"
