Now that they had a clear lead, the two police officers who were questioning them secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Qiao then asked, "Do you remember which day you gave the handkerchief to Yang Xiaohong?"

Hearing the questions coming one after another, Yang Wanqiu asked with a worried expression, "Officer, can I ask what's wrong with this handkerchief? Will what I'm saying cause trouble for Xiaohong? Officer, Xiaohong is a good person, she would never do anything bad."

Listening to Yang Wanqiu's words, the older policeman became visibly impatient, slammed his hand on the table, and shouted sternly, "Just answer my questions. Don't give me any useless information. Whether someone is good or bad isn't up to you to decide; it requires evidence."

This time, Yang Wanqiu was so frightened by the shout that she burst into tears. She lowered her head in grievance and her voice began to choke.

"I...I can't remember. I only remember that it was two days before Xiaohong's birthday."

Li Shi was also anxious at this moment. His aunt only had one precious son, Shen Wenge, and now he had died so mysteriously.

If he still can't solve the case, given his aunt's personality, who knows what kind of trouble she'll cause afterwards.

So when he heard from the Qingshan Brigade yesterday that the missing person was Shen Wenge, he rushed over early this morning, bringing Chu Qiao, who was supposedly a top graduate of the police academy, with him.

The result was the devastating news that the person had died. After a brief investigation of the scene, it was discovered that the scene had been severely damaged.

So, as the captain of the criminal investigation team, he directly arranged for the police to split into several groups. One policeman went back to the town to contact the forensic doctor to prepare for the autopsy, while another policeman went to the Shen family to negotiate with the family members to prepare for the autopsy.

The remaining police officers visited and investigated clues in the village, and because of the handkerchief, the first place the police officers came to was the educated youth settlement located at the foot of the mountain.

Because the police came in the morning to investigate the missing persons case, all of them were criminal investigators.

Furthermore, since many villagers entered the cabin last night when the body was discovered, the scene was severely damaged.

Although the militia captain, who had some knowledge of criminal investigation, reminded everyone not to move the body, the footprints and fingerprints at the scene were destroyed.

Now, the only way to solve the case is to see if the autopsy will reveal anything new, and for the police to conduct interviews and investigations.

I was initially worried that this case would be difficult to solve, since the person had been dead for more than ten days, and the recent heavy snowfalls had completely buried the footprints and other evidence in the surrounding area.

Therefore, Li Shi had no confidence whatsoever in successfully solving the case and finding the murderer.

Unexpectedly, they obtained a clue as soon as they came down the mountain, and Yang Wanqiu signed the interrogation record.

Li Shi was the first to leave the room, intending to ask other educated youths, because he clearly remembered that when he asked Yang Xiaohong earlier, the female educated youth explicitly stated that she had never seen this handkerchief.

Therefore, one of Yang Xiaohong and Yang Wanqiu must be lying, and that person is very likely related to Shen Wenge's death.
