"Shuhua, I saw signs of beating all over Li Mei's body, and there were also marks on her neck from being strangled. She must have been murdered. Please help your aunt find her murderer, okay? Please..."
Yan Shuhua held her hand and said, "Auntie, don't worry. I will find the murderer who killed Li Mei, and... I will also make sure that person gets the punishment he deserves. Auntie, from now on, you should treat me as your daughter."
This is what Yan Shuhua really thinks. It doesn't matter if Mother Li no longer has Li Mei. As her daughter, she will take care of Mother Li in her old age and see her to the end of her life.
After spending some time with Li's mother in the room, Yan Shuhua went out again and saw Fan Zhiqiang squatting at the door. He was looking into the distance with extremely empty eyes, and it was impossible to guess what he was thinking.
"Master's wife," Fan Zhiqiang said, "I told Li Mei last night that I wanted to go to the production team with her to watch a movie. If I had insisted on taking her, she would definitely not have gone to the mountain. Or if she had gone to the mountain, I would have been a little more careful and this wouldn't have happened, right?"
"But Master's Wife, I really like Li Mei..." Fan Zhiqiang sobbed, "Li Mei, she also told me that as long as I learn the medical skills from you, she will be with me. Then I have been trying so hard to learn martial arts and medical skills. I did it all for her, but why did she say no?"
Fan Zhiqiang is such a grown man, but he couldn't help crying.
"Shuhua, my heart aches too. When I think of how tragically Li Mei died, I don't know what to do. How could that man be so hateful? How could he strangle Li Mei to death like that?"
After examining Li Mei's body, the doctor said that she had struggled violently before her death, so it was determined that it was very likely that he wanted to rape her, and when the rape failed, he strangled her neck and strangled her to death.
"This is simply a beast, what kind of beast did this!" "It's so abominable, how could such a thing happen? Her father finally cleared his name a while ago, and the family can finally live with their heads held high for a while. Just a few days later, this happened again. Old Lady Li is so pitiful. She won't even have someone to take care of her in her old age and see her to the end of her life."
"Yes, it's so pitiful! So pitiful!"
Some villagers really felt that old lady Li was too pitiful, so many villagers spontaneously raised funds and donated dozens of yuan and handed them to old lady Li. Although it was only a few dozen yuan, it was out of the villagers' kindness, and they didn't want to let her live alone at such an old age.
Li's mother's eyes were dazed. When they were about to bury Li Mei's body that day, she really couldn't control her intense emotions anymore. She rushed forward and asked them not to bury their daughter.
"My daughter, she is not dead, she is still alive and well, please don't bury her, please, she is not dead." Li's mother burst into tears, "My daughter, how could you bear to leave your mother like this? My poor daughter, you didn't even have enough food to eat when you left. You will starve to death in the underworld, my poor daughter..."
Mother Li kept crying and crying: "Li Mei, what are you going to do with me from now on? Are you going to leave me alone and helpless? How can you be so cruel? I told you not to go, but you insisted on going. If I had asked someone to look for you that night, why did you wait until the morning? I am a useless person. Your father died early, and now you are dead too. How can I live alone in the future?"
Mother Li's heart-wrenching cry in front of the grave made countless people shed tears. Some people couldn't bear to watch it and took the initiative to support her.
"Auntie, Auntie, bury him, the child is already cold enough..."
"Sister Li, if you want to leave, open your mouth and eat something before you go. You can't go hungry." The only thing Li's mother thought of was to make her full, but what she saw was that her daughter was about to be buried.
"Let me go, don't worry about me. My heart only has my daughter. Don't worry about me, let me go with my daughter. She is gone, what's the point of me living? Let me be buried with her, otherwise she will be so lonely and pitiful."
“Auntie, Auntie!”
“Please, please…” Li’s mother cried loudly and her heart was broken. She fainted on the spot, and Yan Shuhua just shed tears silently.
Yan Shuhua went to find Fan Xiaofeng that night, and then went to the police station together. Although she was very sad, what faced her now was not sadness, but to find out the murderer who killed Li Mei as quickly as possible.
In that era, there were no surveillance cameras, so no one knew who went up the mountain with Li Mei, but it was still possible to see that this person probably wanted to give the bracelet to Li Mei. Later, Li Mei refused, so that person strangled her to death. The method was so cruel that they called the police.
After checking the surroundings, the police from the police station found a footprint, which was very large. It could be guessed that it belonged to a man over 1.7 meters tall. After studying it for a whole night, they couldn't figure out anything. Finally, Yan Shuhua went back first. On the way back, Fan Xiaofeng sighed.
"Zhiqiang, I think he really likes that Li Mei. He hasn't eaten in the past two days. I've never seen Zhiqiang like this before. How could he be like this? Oh!"
Fan Xiaofeng also said: "Although Li Mei's family is not well off, her father is a barefoot doctor after all, and he passed on his medical skills to Li Mei. The child is young now, and she will have a bright future like you, so I didn't say anything to stop the two of them and wanted them to get along well. Who would have thought that something like this would happen."
Fan Zhiqiang and Li Mei had always gone out together, and they were in perfect harmony doing everything from picking and drying herbs. But now things had suddenly turned out like this, which was a great torture for him. He hadn't expected that he hadn't even learned the medical skills yet, but he was already so miserable.
Fan Zhiqiang was the last person to see Li Mei, so he was also called to the police station. This big boy who usually spoke in a careless manner kept trembling when the police questioned him. Then he started crying while talking, and once he started crying, he couldn't continue speaking and kept wiping his tears. Seeing that they couldn't ask him anything, the police simply let him go back.
Fan Zhiqiang was sitting there with his whole body shaking. When the police told him he could leave, he suddenly felt his legs go weak and he almost fell to the ground. In the end, he was helped back by his father.
