"The man who rolled down the hillside means Tong Jiaojiao's other lover, another person who might have gotten Tong Jiaojiao pregnant?"

When Lu's mother heard this news, she was extremely excited.

"Chunju, hurry, hurry, tell me in detail."

So Li Dahai's wife and Li Dahai recounted their encounter with Lin Guanghui on the mountain that day.

"Hey, you know, he was seeing someone before, and then he went up the mountain to do *that* kind of thing, and she died. What was he thinking, going back to the place where she died?"

“Oh, right, I saw him walking back and forth by that big rock with his head down, as if he was looking for something.” Li Dahai added, “I pointed out that he was the one who had an affair with Tong Zhiqing, and he quickly ran away in fright. That Tong Zhiqing is dead, who can do anything to him? That thing alone could scare him to death.”

Mother Lu analyzed his words, "It seems he was looking for something there and ran away in fright? The fact that he was searching around the deceased proves he'd been there before. Could he be the murderer who killed Tong Jiaojiao? Otherwise, who would dare go to that place to look for something? Perhaps he was worried about leaving any traces there, so he wanted to go back and clean them up?"

After reviewing the analysis, Lu's mother felt that her assessment was quite accurate.

"No, I have to go home immediately and tell Zhengting this news." She hurriedly stood up and called to Li Qinqin, "Qinqin, let's hurry home and tell Zhengting."

"Okay, Auntie, let's go back."

After returning home, Lu's mother immediately told Lu Zhengting the news she had received.

Lu Zhengting said, "A hypothesis I made before should be correct. Lin Guanghui had an affair with Tong Jiaojiao, which resulted in Tong Jiaojiao's pregnancy. Because he liked Chen Lu, he didn't want Tong Jiaojiao to give birth to the child."

But Tong Jiaojiao fell in love with him and wanted to marry him with her child. Lin Guanghui refused, so he had to find a way to abort the child in Tong Jiaojiao's womb, but he accidentally killed Tong Jiaojiao.

This explains why Tong Jiaojiao suffered both a miscarriage and suffocation when she died. Also, the place where Tong Jiaojiao died is now a forbidden area; most people wouldn't go there. Lin Guanghui went there to look for something, likely to check if he had left any suspicious traces, and if so, to try and erase them.

But it's too late to do this now.

He said to Lu's mother and Li Qinqin, "Mom, Qinqin. There are police officers investigating the case at the brigade headquarters now. You need to go to Li Dahai's house again and ask them to go to the brigade headquarters and report this information to the police officers. Of course, you should also ask them to let us know."

"Okay, let's go now."

Lu's mother and Li Qinqin went to Li Dahai's house again; they almost ran there.

Lu's mother told Li Dahai and his wife about the situation. The couple did not expect that their discovery would actually help solve the case, so they quickly agreed and immediately locked the door and went to the brigade headquarters.

Following Lu's mother's instructions, Li Dahai and his wife reported their morning discovery on the mountain to the police. Deputy Captain Zhang immediately made a decision to designate Lin Guanghui as the second suspect and went to the educated youth settlement to temporarily detain Lin Guanghui.

But when they arrived at the educated youth settlement, they found that Lin Guanghui had already packed his things and left.

This makes Lin Guanghui even more suspicious.

"When did he leave? What did he take with him? What did he say to you when he left? Do you know where he was going?"

Deputy Captain Zhang asked the educated youth, and Wang Qiang said, "When he left, he took a few clothes he usually wore with him. I don't know anything else. He said he was going to visit his sister in the Yu Province Military Region. He left in a hurry, just after breakfast, around eight o'clock."

Does he have a letter of introduction?

"have no idea."

Deputy Captain Zhang raised his hand and stroked his chin. "I'll go ask the battalion commander if he gave Lin Guanghui a letter of introduction. We strongly suspect that Lin Guanghui is absconding to avoid punishment. If he really is going to the military region, he should have asked the battalion commander for a letter of introduction. If he didn't have a letter of introduction, then he can't have gone far."

After he finished speaking, he left with another policeman.

The educated youth all regretted letting Lin Guanghui go, but Shen Man was secretly pleased with herself.

With spring plowing just around the corner, the team leader has been spending the last two days in the fields checking the soil conditions.

Deputy Captain Zhang came to him and asked, "Lin Guanghui, one of the educated youths here, left today with his luggage. Did he ask you for a letter of introduction?"

"What? He left with his luggage? Where did he go?"

As soon as Deputy Captain Zhang saw the captain's expression, he knew the outcome.

"You're asking me? If I knew, would I need to ask you?" He brought Li Dahai and his wife along, and had them report their encounter with Lin Guanghui on the mountain to the brigade leader.

"Lin Guanghui is now a very important criminal suspect. Coupled with his escape, it's almost certain that he is the murderer. If he wasn't guilty and scared, he wouldn't have needed to sneak away. His excuse about visiting his sister was just that—an excuse. If we can catch him, I believe the truth of this case will soon be revealed."

Upon hearing this, the captain slapped his forehead in frustration.

"If I had known he was such a prime suspect, I would have kept a close eye on him. Ugh, really~"

Deputy Captain Zhang asked, "In the brigade, are you the only one who can issue a letter of introduction?"

"Yes, other cadres don't have this right."

“Without your letter of introduction, he can’t go far. I’ll go back to the Public Security Bureau, report the situation to our chief, and ask him to send me more people to arrest Lin Guanghui throughout the county.”

"But what if he goes to another county?"

"Well, we need to catch them in our own county first. If we can't catch them in our own county, then we'll have to work with the police in other counties. The police resources aren't just for one village or one case. We have limited manpower, there's nothing we can do."

"Okay, okay, I understand. I will also organize our team members to go up the mountain to look for him and see if he is hiding there."

"good."

After learning that Lin Guanghui had escaped, Lu Zhengting slammed his hand heavily on the armrest of his wheelchair.

Just when they were about to send Lin Guanghui in and rescue Lin Qingyan, another accident happened.

Mother Lu said, "Zhengting, we should trust the police's capabilities. Let's wait a little longer; good news may come soon."

Lin Zhiheng also learned of Lin Guanghui's escape, and at that moment he was right in front of Lu Zhengting.

"Brother Lu, I must find him."

Where are you going to look?

"I don't know, but we'll do our best to find him. Brother Lu, I'm leaving now."

"Yes, we must be careful."

"I see."

He gave Li Qinqin a key to his house so she could go over and look after the rabbits.

The county town's black market is divided into two parts, east and west, both operated by He Zhenguo and belonging to the same company.

Lin Guanghui went to the black market in the east of the city, and after explaining his purpose, he became a grain porter, just like Lin Zhiheng did in the black market in the west of the city.
