Special Case Investigation Team VI

Cheng Jin thought for a while, and said, "You mean, that person must be familiar with the terrain here, that's why he dared to go up the mountain on a rainy night?"

Uncle Rao nodded.

"What time was it?"

"Seven or eight o'clock in the evening, less than eight o'clock."

"Can you take us to where you saw the man?"

"okay."

Uncle Rao got up and took Cheng Jin and Yang Simi to the east.

The cowshed is built next to a forest, but the forest on this side is not related to the woods on the other side of the campsite. The two sides are not connected. This side is still far away from the other side of the campsite. It is necessary to climb over a hill that cuts off the view You can see the scenery over the campsite.

When Uncle Rao saw that person the night before yesterday, that person was just on the hill, standing in the direction where Uncle Rao saw him, Cheng Jin visually measured the distance between the two places, and the straight-line distance was probably only 200 meters, but Looking at the trees on the hill from this side, because of the relationship between the distance and the distance, the trees look quite small, making people feel that the distance between the two places seems to be quite far.

"How long does it take to walk from here to the hills over there?"

"It won't be long."

"Then take us over there to have a look?"

"Okay." Uncle Rao readily agreed.

In fact, it took about ten minutes to walk there, because the forest is deep and the grass is dense, and the mountain road is rugged, the actual distance is far greater than the straight-line distance.

Standing on the hill, Gaosheng Township in the valley is on the right, forests and rivers are down on the left, and the campground is in the distance where the trees are sparser. Looking behind him, Cheng Jin found that several villas of the Lin family High, very close to the hill.

"Old man, from which direction did the man you saw the day before yesterday come to the hill?"

Uncle Rao also looked in the direction of the Lin family's villa, and said, "At that time, I felt that it should have come down from the mountain, but it's not necessarily true, I can't say."

Cheng Jin withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the campsite: "How long does it take to get from here to the campsite?"

Uncle Rao hesitated for a moment, and said: "Look at people, if you walk faster, you may be able to get there in 20 minutes. If you are a half-child who likes to run wild, you can get there in ten minutes."

Cheng Jin: "Can you take us for a walk? You go at your speed, and we will try our best to keep up with you."

"Okay, then I'll take you there."

Although Uncle Rao is a bit old, he can walk quite fast, but there are also reasons why the road down the mountain is easier to walk than the road up the mountain.

Cheng Jin expected that the road conditions would not be too bad, but he thought it would be more troublesome to cross the river - he would have to walk through the water, but he didn't expect it to be unnecessary. In the section where people often cross the river, some large stones were placed in the river, and it was difficult to step on them. Just cross the river without getting wet.

"Old man, when it rains, will these stones be submerged?"

"Yes. But if you get used to it, you can still step on it."

Cheng Jin was stunned for a moment, and then understood, what Uncle Rao said is that people who are used to walking can still step on the rocks under the water even if the water is rising, just like the fake effect of floating on water.

"It's okay if you don't step on it properly," Yang Simi said, "It means getting your pants wet. As long as it doesn't rain for a long time, the water level in this river won't be too high."

Uncle Rao nodded: "You understand quite well, have you ever stayed in the countryside before?"

Yang Simi let out a "hmm".

Cheng Jin patted Yang Simi on the back.

After arriving at the campsite smoothly, Cheng Jin checked the time, 25 minutes, but it is daytime now, if you come at night, especially on a rainy night, it will definitely take longer.

On the way back to Gaosheng Township, Cheng Jin chatted with Uncle Rao about the Lin family.

Uncle Rao is old and knows a lot of things. He told Cheng Jin the history of Lin Ziming's family fortune. Generally speaking, he boldly seized the opportunity before getting rich, and carefully guarded the family property after getting rich.

After talking about career and relationship, Cheng Jin said: "Lin Ziming seems to have only married one wife, and he didn't turn bad when he got rich like others?"

Uncle Rao nodded: "He is good at that."

"Is his sister Lin Zifang married?"

"No." Uncle Rao said, "She's not in a good relationship. Every time she wants to get married, the man either repents or something happens."

"Repent? How to repent?"

"I don't want to get married."

"How many times has she been married—nearly successful marriages, how many times has she been married?"

Uncle Rao thought for a while: "Three or four times?"

"Oh. I heard that you almost got married to a guy from your town five years ago?"

"Yeah, I and Lao Qiu's son have already decided to get married at the end of the year, but when Xiao Qiu went to play in the old house, he somehow set the old house on fire. There were a lot of wood in the old house before, and it would be difficult to save if there was a fire. , he didn't run out."

Cheng Jin sighed and asked, "How is Lao Qiu now? Isn't he sad that his son is gone?"

"It must be sad to be sad, but he still has a son—the younger son, and now he lives with the younger son."

In Gaosheng Township, while Cheng Jin and Yang Simi were out, Bu Huan and You Duo were sleeping, Ye Lai, Xiao An, and Han Bin were playing with drones—in fact, Xiao An was playing, and Ye Lai and Han Bin were playing with drones. Bin was just as a companion, and there were many local people around them to watch the excitement.

Among the onlookers was an acquaintance—one of the part-time workers I met at Lin's house yesterday. Her name was Xiaomei, and she was a young girl in her twenties.She is still in school, and their school holidays are early, so she is now at home during the holidays, and going to the Lin family to work is to work because the Lin family pays a high salary.

"Xiaomei." Ye Lai greeted her and walked to her side, "Are you not going to work today?"

Xiaomei said cautiously: "...No more, the Lin family is going back to the city today."

"Oh." Ye Lai smiled, "Have you ever played with a drone? Do you want to come and see?"

She enthusiastically grabbed Xiaomei's arm, brought her to Xiaoan, and let her see how Xiaoan operated the drone.

Xiaomei originally wanted to leave, but when she came to Xiaoan's side, she was immediately attracted by the remote control of the drone in Xiaoan's hand, so she didn't leave.

Xiaoan smiled at her, and showed her the operation: "The operation is very simple, you see, this way you can make the drone turn..."

After demonstrating for a while, Xiaoan asked Xiaomei to try it out: "Come and try it? Don't worry, this thing is very smart, you can play with it casually, and it won't fall off."

Xiaomei couldn't hold back her enthusiasm and took the remote control.The drone hovered in the air, hey, no, it went towards the top of the mountain.

"Oh, how did you make it fly back?" Xiaomei was a little flustered.

"It's okay, don't worry—" Xiao An's eyes widened suddenly, "Hey, we seem to have caught something unexpected..."

Xiaomei looked at the screen, then froze.

Ye Lai also looked at the screen, froze for a moment, then beckoned Han Bin to come over: "Han Bin, come and see—"

Han Bin came over to watch with them.

——The drone flew over the Lin family's villa at this moment, and it took pictures of someone doing indescribable things on the roof of a Lin family villa, and the other party found the drone in the sky. Pointing in the air, as if rushing to the opposite side of the camera to settle accounts with the drone's owner.

Han Bin said: "Don't shoot, just withdraw it."

"Oh." Xiaoan hurriedly let the drone fly back, and whispered, "Let's withdraw quickly? Don't be caught by someone rushing over later."

The three put away the drone and quickly retreated, taking Xiaomei who hadn't recovered.

The onlookers asked them: "Why don't you fly? Is it out of power?"

Ye Lai smiled back: "Yes, the battery is out, go back and recharge it."

After staying away from the crowd, Xiaoan asked Xiaomei: "Do you know what kind of relationship they have?"

Xiaomei shook her head dumbly.

Ye Lai took the opportunity to ask: "Xiaomei, do you know the relationship between Guangli and Lin Zifang? I heard they are good friends?"

Guangli is a man who helps the Lin family to look after the house. Last night, Bu Huan found out that he had an unusual relationship with Lin Zifang.

"I heard it is." Xiaomei said, "I heard that whenever Lin Zifang comes to Gaosheng, she will go to Guangli."

"Did the two of them meet in Gaosheng this time?"

Xiaomei hesitated and said nothing.

"Tell us." Xiao An hugged her and shook her arm, "We will keep it a secret for you, and we won't tell others."

"..." Xiaomei couldn't bear it, and smiled, "I don't know if they have met these days, but Lin Zifang went out the night before yesterday."

"When did you go out? After dinner?" Ye Lai asked.

Xiaomei nodded.

"Didn't she say she has been exercising?"

"She went out around 9 o'clock. I saw from the window that she drove down the mountain. But she was at home at almost 11 o'clock-I didn't see her come back. It was Sister Liu who said she was still exercising. Sister Liu thought she She was in the gym all night, and she actually went out."

"Oh, did you go on a date with Guangli?"

"I don't know that."

"What car does she drive?"

"I don't know. The Lin family drove four or five cars when they came over. I only saw that she was driving out. I don't know which car she was driving."

"Oh, nothing. Was anyone else out that night?"

"……do not know."

Ye Lai felt that Xiao Mei was hesitant, and felt that she should know something else, so she looked at Xiao An.

Xiaoan shook Xiaomei's arm again: "Sister, tell me, we won't tell others what you told us."

"...I really don't know." Xiaomei said helplessly, "But because I live in the same building with the two Miss Lin—that is, Lin Zifang and Lin Jing—so I can hear their movements at night. I went to bed very late."

"How to say?"

"In the early hours of the morning, I heard her taking a shower and blowing her hair. I was a little sleepy, so I didn't sleep deeply."

"Oh. If I go to work at his house, do I have to sleep at his house at night?" Xiaomei's house is in Gaosheng Township, and it is very close from Lin's house to her own house. If she accepts her bed, it would be better to live in her own house.

"Mrs. Lin is Lin Jing's mother. She is relatively timid and likes to have more people in the family, so when she hired us, she agreed with us that she would live in the villa at night." Xiaomei said, "I think it's because everyone in their family We don’t live together, so the house feels empty.”

Ye Lai nodded, yes, Lin Ziming and his assistant live in another building, and Lian Jin and his wife live in another building. The main building has the most people, but only Lin Jing, her aunt and his mother live there. For the timid people, it would be scary not to let people live with them.

After saying goodbye to Uncle Rao, Cheng Jin looked at the chat group. He skipped the gossip and wrote down useful information.

Later, he and Yang Simi returned to the "Commercial Street". Unfortunately, the soup dumpling stall was closed. He looked at other shops around and suggested, "Simi, shall we have noodles?"

Yang Simi looked at a stall selling rice cakes: "I want to eat that."

"it is good."

There are two colors of rice cakes, one is white and the other is brown sugar, the taste can be guessed according to the color, the former puts white sugar, and the latter puts brown sugar.

Cheng Jin said to the boss: "One catty of each kind."

While paying, the sound of cars coming from afar came towards them, and finally the sound stopped on the side of the road behind them.

Cheng Jin turned his head and saw four cars. He saw Lin Ziming through the lowered window of the first car. Not surprisingly, the last three cars should also belong to the Lin family.

Lin Ziming was also looking at Cheng Jin, he didn't intend to get out of the car, he relaxed on the seat and looked at Cheng Jin.

Cheng Jin nodded at the other party, then turned around, asked the owner of the rice cake stall for two small bags, and asked Yang Simi, "Which one do you want to eat first?"

As an adult, Yang Simi chose to have both: "I want to eat together."

"Okay." Cheng Jin smiled, and put a piece of white rice cake and a piece of brown sugar rice cake in two small bags, and asked Yang Simi to hold one in each hand and eat whichever one he wanted.

After Yang Simi had breakfast, Cheng Jin walked to the first car with the remaining rice cakes, and greeted Lin Ziming in the car: "Mr. Lin."

He saw Lin Ziming's life assistant sitting next to him looking at his phone with his head down.

Lin Ziming combed his hair back, looking quite majestic, but his complexion is not very good, probably because of his bad mood.

"What's your last name?"

Cheng Jin smiled and spat out a word: "Cheng."

"Officer Cheng, is that drone yours?"

Cheng Jin nodded: "That's a misunderstanding, we originally wanted to take some pictures of the scenery."

The undescribable thing captured by the drone, Ye Lai said in the group, and Cheng Jin took it as gossip.

——The content of the gossip is: Lin Ziming and his handsome young life assistant engaged in a fierce two-person hand-to-hand exercise on the open-air platform. During the exercise, Lin Ziming was half-naked and his assistant was naked.

"Can you delete it?"

"Of course." Cheng Jin said, "Don't worry. As long as we don't violate the law, we won't—"

At this time, a bitten rice cake was handed to him. It was brown sugar rice cake. He knew that Yang Simi didn't like the taste. He took it and held it in his hand, and continued to say to Lin Ziming: " We will not interfere in the private lives of citizens."

Lin Ziming looked at Cheng Jin and Yang Simi who was beside him, and smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "Okay, then I won't bother you."

Cheng Jin smiled: "Goodbye."

Lin Ziming's car started, and the three cars behind followed suit. The four cars lined up and drove away, disappearing at the end of the "Commercial Street".

After eating the brown sugar rice cake that Yang Simi didn't like, Cheng Jin ate another piece of white rice cake, and then understood why Yang Simi gave him the brown sugar rice cake, because it was much less sweet, but he still liked it. I like the sweetness.

After wiping his hands, Cheng Jin took out his mobile phone and sent a message to the group: Ye Zi, where are you now?

Ye Lai: We went to find Guangli, but he is not at home.

Didn't Xiaomei say that Lin Zifang went out the night before, and she suspected that she went on a date with Guangli, so they wanted to confirm this with Guangli.

——Of course, they went to Guangli after they parted ways with Xiaomei.

Cheng Jin replied: I probably went to help the Lin family look at the house. The Lin family just went back to the city.

Ye Lai: Oh, then let's go to the Lin family to find him.
