No one saw Li Tong leave for work this morning, nor did anyone see him leave. At noon, Lü Qi, another educated youth who had a good relationship with Li Tong, sensed something was amiss and knocked on her door. It was ajar and easily opened, revealing Li Tong's horrific death scene, her eyes wide open.

"ah!"

Lu Qi was so frightened that she fell to the ground, her face turned pale and her body began to tremble. As a delicate female educated youth who came to the countryside from a big city, she had never seen such a scene before, so she screamed on the spot.

Everyone was drawn in by Lu Qi's earth-shattering scream. Although their hearts were pounding, the few male educated youth still mustered the courage to walk into the house. Seeing Li Tong lying on the ground, already lifeless, with his messy clothes and scattered banknotes, they couldn't help but feel a little sad...

The few of them didn't dare to move the scene and hurriedly went to find Captain Kong, and then this was what Chu Xi saw.

Li Tong also came from a relatively wealthy family, but he was a calm and introverted person. He didn't like to communicate with others, but he didn't make enemies with others either.

At the educated youth center, she found an excuse to move into a small woodshed. However, because her family sent her money and food every month, and she worked diligently, she never lacked food and always looked in good spirits.

Wang Ji and Li Tong were educated youth who went to the countryside together. They met by chance on the train and went to the countryside together.

Ever since he knew that Li Tong's family was rich and powerful, Wang Ji became like a dog-skin plaster, always trying to get close to Li Tong. Although he was rejected many times, he still did his own thing. Li Tong had no choice but to work and rest with the female educated youth every time. When he had nothing to do, he would go to find Shi Xiaomei. Anyway, she never gave him any chance to be alone with her.

Although Wang Ji was also an educated youth from a big city, he was the third child in his family. He was the youngest and most spoiled child. He was lazy and ate all day long. He didn't want to go to work. His two older brothers were both working, and he had a lot of living expenses. This time, because he fell in love with a girl, but his family strongly opposed it, so he ran away from home in a fit of anger and signed up to become an educated youth.

But the hardships of rural life made him feel deeply exhausted. He had seldom worked since he was a child, and he was severely hit in the face by reality. In just one month, he deeply felt the cruelty and difficulty of real society. So he used his cleverness to pursue Li Tong, who came from the same place and was quite rich. Although it was a one-sided pursuit, people rarely saw him lose his temper.

Shi Xiaomei and the educated youth Li Tong were good friends. They met when they were collecting firewood in the mountains. Shi Xiaomei also taught Li Tong, who had just gone to the countryside, a lot of common sense about rural life. So gradually, the two people with similar personalities naturally became friends, often visiting each other, and occasionally Shi Xiaomei would stay at Li Tong's house for a night.

Coincidentally, Shi Xiaomei came to the educated youth center to look for Li Tong again last night. Low laughter could be heard from the small room from time to time, but no one at the educated youth center knew when Shi Xiaomei left.

Therefore, the police also regarded Shi Xiaomei as one of the suspects, and the villagers also talked about her. Fortunately, Shi Xiaomei has always had a good character, and most villagers believe that she has nothing to do with the case.

But there are also a few guys who are annoying and have dark thoughts.

"Shi Xiaomei usually looks like a decent person and speaks politely, but I never thought she could do such a cruel thing!"

"That's right. You can't judge a person's heart by his appearance, so you must be careful next time. You can't judge a person by his appearance. The more kind someone looks, the more likely they are to stab you in the back. Maybe they're just jealous of their wealth..."

"They usually act like affectionate sisters, but I don't know what they're planning behind the scenes."

These words infuriated Shi Xiaomei's mother so much that she wanted to fight with those gossips, but she was held tightly by Shi Xiaomei's father, an honest man. He believed that his daughter would come back safely and slap these people in the face!

But Chu Xi couldn't figure out for a long time what this had to do with Shi Xiu. She was not interested in the social activities in the village, so she didn't know who was close to whom.

Could it be that this dark-minded woman was jealous and resentful of others, so she secretly took action? It's impossible. Besides, that little white lotus probably doesn't have the courage and bravery to do that. She might just be plotting something behind the scenes...

Chu Xi expressed her deep regret towards Li Tong, and she thought it would be better to let the vicious and shameless Shi Xiu have a good taste of bitter fruit.
