Gu Yuquan looked at Lin Yi, saw that his expression was serious, he didn't look like he was joking, so he asked, "Xiao Yi, what's the matter with you?"

Gu Xingzhou was preparing dinner beside him, and asked, "Xiao Yi, did something happen at the free clinic?"

Lin Yi came together one by one, and told Gu Yuquan about the old woman he saw during the free clinic today. Gu Yuquan frowned, and Gu Xingzhou also put down his things, looked at Lin Yi and said, "Xiao Yi , this is not a joke, if this old woman really has a grievance, why didn't she appeal, she wanted to find you, and she said something about Master Qingtian, I think it's because she watched too much TV, that's why she did this Say, otherwise, why would she say such a thing."

Lin Yi nodded, but he still couldn't accept Gu Xingzhou's statement. He was so familiar with the way the old woman looked at him. So to speak.

Gu Xingzhou wiped his hands, went to sit between the two of them, and said: "I think this matter must be reported, after all, it is a bit suspicious, or let's talk to that Li Xiangzhang, this area is divided, and he Tell me, let’s see if the village detachment can investigate.”

Lin Yi nodded, and the two were talking, but Gu Yuquan sat in silence without saying a word.

Lin Yi looked at Gu Yuquan, saw that he was silent, and asked, "Teacher, is there something wrong?"

Gu Yuquan looked at the two of them and said in confusion, "Well, although Lao Zhao has passed away, it's always bad to say people behind their backs, and I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Lin Yi and Gu Xingzhou looked at each other, and Lin Yi said, "Teacher, if you have anything to say, just say it. This matter has not become a criminal case, so it's just small talk."

Gu Yuquan nodded and said: "You said that, I really think that Lao Zhao may have been killed. He was in the same middle school as me. I was promoted to high school in the third year of junior high school. He came back here in the third year of junior high school. He studied in this village. After finishing high school, his parents forced him to marry a wife and refused to let him continue his studies, saying that they had only one child, Lao Zhao, and hoped to retire early, and did not want Lao Zhao to marry too far away."

As Gu Yuquan said, his tone was full of emotion.

Old Zhao, also known as Zhao He, was forced by his parents to drop out of school and return home at the most critical time in his third year of high school. Although he had obtained a high school diploma, he had no chance to go to college after all. After leaving this place, he was forced by his parents to marry a local A woman is a daughter-in-law.

Because he had been led by his parents for the first half of his life, Zhao He was rebellious in his heart. After marrying his wife, he fell in love with another woman when his wife was pregnant in October. Zhao He's wife was heartbroken. , when Zhao He's son Zhao Lin died when he was 12 years old, Zhao He has been living in that woman's house since then.

Later, the woman disliked Zhao He's incompetence, so she kicked Zhao He out of the house. Zhao He returned home. His son had already gone to work in other places, and there was an old mother at home. With the help of Gu Yuquan, he occasionally went to the mountains to collect herbs. Then sell it to Gu Yuquan.

After going back and forth like this, the friendship between the two became deeper and deeper. Gu Yuquan persuaded Zhao He to find his son and admit his mistake so that someone would take care of him for the elderly. Zhao He had a stubborn temper and was unwilling to admit his mistake.

When Gu Yuquan said this, he paused for a while and said: "Old Zhao and I sometimes talk on the phone. He said on the phone that his son Zhao Lin is back, and I don't know about it after that."

Gu Xingzhou and Lin Yi glanced at each other. Since Lin Yi said that Zhao He and the case had problems, the two really put this matter on the criminal case in their hearts. When they heard Gu Yuquan say these things, they immediately locked onto the case. a suspect.

Obviously, Zhao Lin was very suspicious.

His mother died when he was 12 years old because of his father's cheating, and Zhao He never took care of Zhao Lin. It is normal for Zhao Lin to have resentment in his heart, otherwise how could Zhao Lin come back before Zhao He died?

This is inevitably some coincidence.

Gu Yuquan watched the two reach out to pat Lin Yi, and said, "Xiao Yi, don't worry about this matter, Zhao He is dead, so what if it's a criminal case, it's been so long, old man There is no way to find Zhao's body, what can the two of you do?"

Lin Yi looked at Gu Yuquan, shook his head and said, "Master, no matter whether the body can be found or not, if Zhao He was murdered, it would be very dangerous to let the murderer go unpunished."

Once a person has the idea of ​​killing and executes the murder, it is difficult to guarantee that this person will not have the possibility of committing a second crime. After all, he did not catch the person the first time, and he is likely to be lucky. , I feel that I can still escape. If this continues, it will threaten the safety of the entire society.

Lin Yi thought for a while, and then put the matter aside. After dinner, he and Gu Xingzhou asked where the mayor's house was, and then they went there together.

The two discussed it. If this matter was really a homicide, they should at least find evidence to prove the homicide. Otherwise, the village detachment might not believe it. It fell down the cliff, and there were no witnesses or anything.

Gu Yuquan didn't stop the two of them either. Although he didn't want them to intervene in this matter, he also didn't want Zhao He to die like this.

When Lin Yi and Gu Xingzhou arrived at the mayor's yard, the mayor had just finished eating and was about to go out for a walk. When he saw the two of them, he quickly ordered someone to make tea.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Gu, you are here."

The mayor looked at the two of them, Lin Yi waved his hands and said, "Mayor, we have something to ask you."

The head of the township nodded and said, "Tell me, as long as I know, I will know everything."

Lin Yi sat down with Gu Xingzhou and the township chief. The township chief asked for tea, and the three chatted while drinking tea.

Lin Yi told the mayor again about the medical treatment today, and the mayor frowned and said, "Well, we have investigated this matter before."

"That old lady is Zhao He's mother. The old lady has been a little delirious for a few years. Since the death of her son, we have arranged for the old lady to go to the old people's home in our village, but she always sneaks out to go home. , we have no choice but to take people to see her regularly, and give her neighbor some money to help take care of the old man."

"But she told everyone she saw that her son was killed, but she didn't want to say who it was."

"We thought this was the case at first. The city even sent people down to investigate, but they couldn't find the bones. Don't say that people can't get down under the cliff. Even if they go down, they won't be found at all. There are many changes on the mountain, and when people come from the city, the place is full of grass, so how do you check?"
