Lin Yi nodded. He knew that Gu Yuquan was worried about the two of them. After all, this kind of thing had been going on for so long, and it would be very troublesome to investigate again. They were originally here for free medical treatment, and it was not Gu Yuquan's fault that they fell into this kind of thing. hopefully.

After getting things ready, Ji Dong and Gu Xingzhou went up the mountain together.

The location given to them by the mayor was very accurate, and the two asked for directions, and quickly found the place where Zhao He stumbled while collecting medicine. There was a sign beside the place that said: "The cliff is dangerous, please do not approach."

Although the economy in the village is not very developed, it is still developing after all, so in the past few years, not many people will go up the mountain.

Lin Yi and Gu Xingzhou walked near the cliff, with a lot of weeds on their faces and bodies. Lin Yi stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the bottomless valley in front of him, and then looked around.

Gu Xingzhou stood behind and asked, "Xiao Yi, what are you looking at?"

Ji Dong said, "I'm looking for a way to go down."

Gu Xingzhou also looked at it, but there were weeds all over the cliff, so if you want to go down, you can only go down from the slower side of the cliff.

Ji Dong slapped the weeds near the cliff with the trekking pole in his hand.

While looking for the way, he looked at whether there were any traces left on the cliff.

But nothing was found. After all, time has passed for so long. Even if there were traces, they would have disappeared long ago. It wouldn't be said that there were still traces.

After searching for a long time, the two couldn't find a way on the edge of the cliff, so they decided to ask the village head if there was a way, and went back to ask some of Zhao He's neighbors to investigate some things.

The two went back to the house, and took a detour around Zhao He's house. When they were walking, they realized that they had walked this road yesterday.

This road is the same as the road they took Zuo Huilan back. It seems that Zuo Huilan's family may be Zhao He's neighbors.

Sure enough, they walked over to the location the mayor said, and saw Zuo Huilan sitting at the door, reading a book in her hand.

Hearing footsteps beside her, Zuo Huilan turned her head to look at the two of them with surprise in her eyes.

"Mr. Lin!"

Lin Yi looked at Zuo Huilan with a smile, said hello, and asked, "Is there anyone else around here?"

Zuo Huilan was puzzled, shook her head and said, "Most of them have gone to the ground now. Mr. Lin needs to find someone to come in the evening, and everyone will come back at that time."

Lin Yi nodded. Gu Xingzhou indicated that Lin Yi could ask the little girl directly, so as not to waste time. Lin Yi shook his head. It's better not to let the little girl know about such things.

Zuo Huilan is so smart, when she saw the two of them playing charades in front of her, she knew there was something to do, so she said: "Sir helped me yesterday, if there is anything today, I can also help."

Gu Xingzhou said with a smile: "Little girl, let me inquire about something with you. Is there an old lady living next door to you?"

When Zuo Huilan heard the two talking about the old woman, she said, "I know, her son fell into the mountains last year while gathering medicine."

Gu Xingzhou looked at Lin Yi, who shook his head and asked, "Do you know the specific situation?"

Zuo Huilan nodded. This incident was big news in this rural area. Almost no one here knew about it. Moreover, she had no class at the time, and when the police came to investigate, she secretly followed to read it.

As Zuo Huilan spoke, she told everything she knew in detail.

Zhao He would go to the mountains to collect herbs almost every day. In January last year, Zhao Lin came back to celebrate the New Year. She also met Zhao Lin. He was neither tall nor fat. Well, it looks like there are some pussy stallions.

Before Zhao Lin came back, she knew about Zhao Lin, because Zhao He always called at home to urge Zhao Lin to come back, saying that if he didn't come, he would ruin Zhao Lin's reputation if he didn't take care of him for the elderly.

After Zhao Lin came back, Zhao He would sometimes go to the mountains to collect herbs, but he didn't go there very often.

Zuo Huilan didn't know whether Zhao He went to collect herbs that day, but only knew that when she came back from school, she heard from her family that Zhao He fell to the bottom of the cliff while gathering herbs.

"That's all I know, and I don't know the rest. I think my parents only know this, because that Grandpa Zhao has a weird temper, and not many people like him."

"What about Zhao Lin at that time? Did he follow him?" Lin Yi asked, but Zuo Huilan shook her head and said she didn't know. When Zhao He went out to collect medicine, it was already late. I don't feel anything.

"You said you have been to the scene, what did the scene look like?"

Zuo Huilan thought for a while and said: "That's right, the lichen on the edge of the cliff is much better. Many people nearby compared it, and they all said that it was Zhao He who fell down by himself, because the shoe print was Zhao He's own. .”

"After Zhao Lin came back, how is his relationship with Zhao He?"

Zuo Huilan shook her head and said, "It's not very good. They seem to be arguing often at home, but I can't hear what they are arguing about. I just know that they often quarrel."

Lin Yi asked some more fragmentary questions. After Zuo Huilan finished answering, Lin Yi nodded, thanked the little girl, and went back with Gu Xingzhou.

"Look, all these things show that this Zhao He fell by himself." Gu Xingzhou said.

From Gu Yuquan's words, it can indeed be inferred that this Zhao Lin pushed Zhao He down or something, but from this Zuo Huilan's words, it is obvious that this Zhao He went to collect the medicine by himself and then died.

Lin Yi looked at Gu Xingzhou, shook his head, and said, "No, this matter is very likely to be homicide."

Gu Xingzhou looked at Lin Yi, frowned and asked, "Xiao Yi, did you speculate about this matter too badly? This is actually Zhao He's own accidental death. How could it be homicide? Even if it was homicide, this The murderer, you don't think it's Zhao Lin, do you? This Zhao Lin is very suspicious of the whole thing, but he doesn't need to kill Zhao He, because once Zhao He is dead, he will quarrel with Zhao He every day, and treat Zhao He People who have a heart of hatred will definitely become the target of public criticism, isn't this too obvious?"

Lin Yi looked at Gu Xingzhou and said, "Sometimes what is obvious is the least obvious. I may not be able to confirm that Zhao Lin is the murderer now, but I am sure of some things, that is, this Zhao He probably committed suicide!"

Gu Xingzhou looked at Lin Yi, suddenly smiled and said, "How do I feel, you look like Song Ci! Hahaha, that's why that old woman called you so."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Maybe it's true, but since I know about this matter, I have to investigate it anyway, so I can't just leave it alone."
