In the evening, Hong Tao and I sat on the high-speed train heading to H City.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, they just registered their marriage. It's unlikely they would immediately resort to murder over inheritance."

Hong Tao is Old Yang's apprentice, a graduate in criminal law from the University of Political Science and Law, sharp and hardworking.

I sighed and replied, "I'm worried about the two kids. After all, adults can handle their own issues, but children are so innocent! By the way, when was Zhang Fengxia born?"

"1977."

"Forty-three years old, and she's been married three times!"

"Not only that, but her first two husbands both died!" Hong Tao echoed.

I remembered her first husband, who was likely the one whose death benefits were stolen by a coworker after his death.

Around nine o'clock in the evening, we walked out of the high-speed rail station, hailed a taxi, and headed straight to the suburban police station.

"Sister-in-law, Hong Tao, we didn't expect you to come so quickly!"

A head poked out from behind the computer, it was a young, skinny police officer.

"You don't know, this case was a big deal at the time, we cooperated with the municipal bureau to investigate it. The ex-wife of logistics boss Xia A-san killed Xia A-san's parents, his two brothers, and even drove Xia A-san to suicide. The whole family was wiped out."

"Ex-wife committing murder, Xia A-san committing suicide? Then what about his current wife Zhang Fengxia?" I asked.

The young officer shook his head and replied, "Yes, that's the strange part. He was still living with his ex-wife after the divorce, while Zhang Fengxia moved out to take care of their daughter."

Hong Tao's eyes widened, looking at me, he said:

"Sister-in-law, could your client be caught in the same trap?!"

I shook my head, signaling the young officer to continue speaking.

"The ex-wife was sentenced to death, and the execution was carried out by the intermediate court last year. Just like that, the whole big family died clean, leaving Zhang Fengxia with nothing to do but scoop up several million. For the specifics, you can check the case files yourselves."

He moved the screen toward us.

"Sister-in-law, let me take a look at it!"

Hong Tao rushed ahead of me and said to the young officer:

"A-Du, you take Sister-in-law to rest first. These thousand-page records, I have experience and can read them quickly."

I didn't argue with him, nodded, and left with A-Du.
