Old Zhao's eyes drooped down, knowing his current predicament, and he said in a hoarse voice.
"That day I had an argument with Fanglan, and in a fit of anger I hit her."
"And then you killed her!" Li Changlong questioned.
"Second Brother," Lu Qiqi's voice made Li Changlong realize that he was unhappy that Lu Qiqi had interrupted Zhao Laoda, so he stopped talking.
After glancing down at Zhao Zhiwei's back, Zhao Laoda looked at Lu Qiqi excitedly and said, "I didn't mean to kill her. I just wanted to push her onto the bed. With that push, her head hit the corner of the bed, and she died."

Lu Qiqi knew that Master Zhao had taken her words to heart. She glanced at Zhao Zhiwei at the bottom of the pit and sighed almost imperceptibly.
This incident must have been a significant blow to Zhao Zhiwei, and his studies will likely have to be put on hold again.
With the truth revealed, Lu Qiqi handed over the follow-up matters to Zhao Xiaodong, the village chief.
Then he took Zhou Yi and Li Changlong back to the courtyard.
