Chapter 78 The Whole Truth

Some tiny things can expose some secrets that are hidden deep inside. Even the person involved may not realize that something is wrong.

The first time He Li sent them back to their house with a head-mounted mining lamp, Xu Zhizhi didn't think much about it. She just thought that the villagers chose this lamp because they thought it was brighter than ordinary flashlights. She felt that farmers from all over the country were as pragmatic as ever.

After all, it is not uncommon for rural families to buy rare things for the sake of cost-effectiveness. There are even people who specialize in selling them, so maybe they buy them because they think they are good.

If nothing strange had happened in this village, she would not have set her eyes on a mining lamp, as she raised her vigilance.

This would make her seem suspicious, like a nervous freak.

But when something happened, the outer shell was bumped, and the cracked mine lamp fell into her eyes.

Doubts are natural and speculations arise spontaneously.

Why is there a mining lamp?

Head-mounted mining lamps are mostly used in coal mining, tunneling and some dark working tools. Because they are fixed on the head and move with the line of sight, they are very convenient and are very popular among people engaged in such operations. They are essential tools for mining.

The mountain village didn't have the conditions for working in tunnels or in the dark, so the only possible solution was coal mines. Xu Zhizhi hadn't checked whether there were any coal mines nearby, she only knew of a place where she had heard about coal mines.

That is the story that Yan Xue once told. In the village in that story, there is a black coal mine.

Just like what she said about the Nanhu corpse case was based on reality, the Nanhu corpse case was true. It is logical to infer that the story Yan Xue told is very likely to be true.

There are no coincidences in the world, only cause and effect, and only what is bound to happen will happen.

Yan Xue definitely has a great connection with that case, and Qin Su probably hasn't found out anything about it, which is why he didn't give me any information.

It was a black coal mine, which happened more than ten or twenty years ago. If someone died and compensation was paid, they would not call the police. Especially, if it was intentional and they wanted to get compensation, calling the police would be like being sick.

So there was no file for Qin Su to check.

Xu Zhizhi thought of all this in just a brief moment; her eyes even stayed on the mining lamp for only a split second before moving away.

In a split second, Xu Zhizhi looked at He Li and suddenly didn't know how to start talking about the funding. She looked at Yan Xue with a natural expression, wanting Yan Xue to start first.

Yan Xue received Xu Zhizhi's signal and looked at He Li's uncle and aunt, "We are here today to tell you something. I believe you should have heard about He Li's scholarship. We are here today for this matter."

When they heard Yan Xue mention scholarships, the three of them were a little confused.

Logically, the two of them should not have known about this. The fact that He Li had a scholarship should have only been spread in a small circle.

The two were stars who came to the village to film a movie. They did not have close relationships with many people in the village, so it was impossible for anyone to tell them.

"This matter is a bit complicated..." After seeing Yan Xue start talking, Xu Zhizhi whispered that he was the person who had sponsored He Li before.

After saying that, Xu Zhizhi took out her mobile phone, tapped it a few times, revealing the sponsor interface, and then clicked on the information of the former sponsored person, which displayed He Li's information and help request.

He Li was still thinking about the situation. Her uncle and aunt didn't react and looked dazed.

Seeing Xu Zhizhi take out her cell phone, they also looked over.

There was also a description of He Li's parents applying for a scholarship. The two of them looked at this scene and already believed it in their hearts.

At the same time, the uncle and aunt's expressions also turned into surprise. The aunt said in surprise and anger: "What a coincidence!"

She had no doubts, she knew that celebrities made a lot of money! There was no need for them to deceive an ordinary farmer like her. She just sighed that this was all too coincidental.

And He Li’s parents, I didn’t expect them to be so shameless that they pretended to be sick to get financial assistance!

"You should take back the scholarship! They gave it all to He Li's parents and they have embezzled it. Since they have given birth to a child, it is their responsibility to raise the child. You can't let outsiders help raise the child!" He Li's uncle didn't know that the scholarship had been stopped, so he asked Xu Zhizhi to take it back to avoid wasting it.

Eight hundred yuan was given to the couple every month, but considering their conduct, Xu Zhizhi would not receive any gratitude.

Yan Xue smiled when she heard this, looked at the two of them and said, "After Xu Zhizhi asked about the situation, she canceled it. Don't worry!"

"Of course I can't give it to them, but I'm not going to cancel the one I gave to He Li. I still want to sponsor her, to help her finish junior high school, high school and college, and become a useful person to the society in the future! Or in other words, to be a decent person." Xu Zhizhi looked at He Li. She was satisfied with what He Li's uncle and aunt said, but she wanted to see He Li's reaction.

There was so much information pouring out at once that He Li was a little overwhelmed.

She was sitting next to her uncle and aunt, and when she heard that, she looked up at them.

The uncle and aunt were silent, and the couple didn't dare to refuse.

It's not that they want to embezzle the eight hundred, but they don't dare to help He Li refuse. He Li's grades are good! What if she gets into a good high school or university in the future, and her elder brother and sister-in-law don't support her, and they refuse her again, what should He Li do?

Yan Xue did not say anything, but the look in her eyes that encouraged He Li to agree revealed her thoughts.

He Li looked up at Xu Zhizhi with wide eyes, her eyes flashing with thought, then she stood up and walked in front of Xu Zhizhi, "So when Sister Zhizhi asked me to hide 500 yuan before, was it to test my uncle and aunt?"

"Yes..." Xu Zhizhi was a little surprised, surprised at He Li's intelligence.

What a beautiful, smart and quick-witted child.

He Li continued to ask, "Thank you, Sister Zhizhi, how can I repay you in the future?" Her eyes were firm, as if as long as Xu Zhizhi's request was not excessive, she would agree.

The junior high school student who is about to enter the second year of junior high school has already understood a lot. She also knows that she is not liked by her parents and that her parents will not support her to go to high school or college.

So when faced with this opportunity to change her life, she did not give up. The teacher told them that it is harder for girls than boys, so when they encounter opportunities, they should pay more attention and must seize the opportunity to move forward.

What Xu Zhizhi gave her was an opportunity to move forward.

But her education taught her that if someone helps her, she should give back.

Xu Zhizhi understood, she reached out and touched her shiny black hair.

"In the future, be a useful person to the society! Or in other words, be an upright person. This is the requirement I just mentioned. If you really can't accept it with peace of mind, then when you can make money in the future and have some spare money, help the next person like you." Xu Zhizhi's voice was as gentle as water. She rarely acted like this.

He Li pursed her lips, thought carefully, straightened her back and said seriously: "Okay! I will try my best to meet my sister's requirements!"

"Yeah! Don't force it, just try your best. I hope to see you being the same as always, even if you're just an ordinary person without any shining points in the future." Xu Zhizhi said with a smile.

The uncle and aunt looked at each other. The aunt pursed her lips and looked at Xu Zhizhi with tears in her eyes.

This girl is such a good person for helping a child for free!

Xu Zhizhi saved the WeChat messages, phone numbers, and bank card numbers of the two people. After doing so, she reminded them, "I hope that only those of us who were present know about this. If you have no reason, just say that you voluntarily paid for He Li's education."

"I know, I know," Auntie wiped her tears and hugged He Li, "Thank you, sister."

This action changed the life of a rural girl.

My aunt only has an elementary school education, but she worked outside a few years ago.

She knows how hard and painful it is to have no education.

So her children all graduated from college, and even though their salaries were not high, their situations were very different, completely different from those children in the village who dropped out of school.

She was also worried about He Li's affairs, and in the middle of the night she discussed with her uncle whether to just support He Li.

But the economy is not good after all, and ideas are just ideas. We can only wait and see when the time comes.

Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better and He Li found someone to sponsor her.

She pushed He Li, and He Li followed suit, looking at Xu Zhizhi sincerely, "Thank you, Sister Zhizhi, I won't forget our agreement."

"Okay!" Xu Zhizhi nodded solemnly.

The room suddenly became warm. Yan Xue looked at He Li, who had a serious face, and stood up, walked forward and gently pinched her face.

Xu Zhizhi stretched out her hand and handed over a piece of chocolate.

She had limited living expenses and usually couldn't afford to buy them. Eating two more wouldn't damage her teeth, so Xu Zhizhi would give her one whenever she saw them.

Life is bitter, but there is sweetness in the bitterness, and she hopes to remember the sweetness.

This is the belief that can support a little girl to keep going and go out.

He Li reached out to take it and smiled gently at Xu Zhizhi, her smile was pure and genuine.

The others talked about some other things, such as what my uncle and aunt were thinking, and how they would send me photos and receipts regularly, as well as my grades and situation at school.

Xu Zhizhi agreed to all of them.

After doing this, Xu Zhizhi and Yan Xue left.

As usual, He Li took the lamp and sent them back.

When people in the village meet them, they will greet them with a smile.

There are more people recently, and with the news of the road repair, everyone knows that it was Yan Xue and other stars who paid for the road repair. So when we meet, we always say hello, and usually send some bacon, bacon, vegetables, etc. to the crew to make the crew eat better.

Yan Xue treated these people with a gentle expression, a faint smile on her face, and even called out these people's names.

Xu Zhizhi's eyes fell on her face and she also looked at them with a smile, and occasionally roasted melon seeds were stuffed into her hands.

She whispered a thank you, even though she was not familiar with the old man in front of her.

He Li sent the two of them to the crew, and Xu Zhizhi turned around and watched her leave as usual, until the light of her mine lamp disappeared at a fixed location.

"Zhizhi, you are such a good person," Yan Xue said with a smile while standing behind Xu Zhizhi.

Xu Zhizhi turned around and looked at her under the solar streetlights arranged by the crew. Her facial features and outlines fell into her eyes. After two seconds, Xu Zhizhi shook her head and said, "I just don't want to let others suffer the same pain I have experienced."

This is also what her sponsor in her previous life told her.

She had little money, but she still chose to support her.

She told herself that she just didn't want to see her go through the same suffering she had gone through before.

Even if you die young, the other person will probably be very sad.

I hope that another Xu Zhizhi can really survive for me and let everything go on like this.

There was a mixture of complexity in Xu Zhizhi's eyes.

Yan Xue knew that Xu Zhizhi was kidnapped when she was a child, and was not taken seriously by her adoptive parents. She grew up with her grandmother. Maybe she suffered a lot when she was a child, so she is so kind now.

"Yeah!" she agreed with a sigh.

Xu Zhizhi smiled, and the two of them stopped talking and turned back to their room.

After entering the room, Xu Zhizhi called Qin Su directly.

She wanted to check on Yan Xue's situation. She wanted to know what was going on with this star.

If there is a real problem and a criminal act, we must act decisively.

Qin Su was just about to call Xu Zhizhi, but unexpectedly Xu Zhizhi called him instead.

After listening to Xu Zhizhi's words, he asked in confusion, "Didn't they say before that they would investigate whether there were any murders or vicious cases? Why did they change their mind now?"

"There's no conflict, I just feel she's weird," Xu Zhizhi said flatteringly.

Others helped her for free, so they had to say something nice. After all, it was not Qin Su's obligation. She remembered that Qin Su had his own cases to investigate!

Qin Su didn't say anything, but hummed in a low voice, then said, "We'll need some time to figure this out. Now I'll tell you what I found out."

Xu Zhizhi sat upright, waiting for Qin Su to speak.

Qin Su recounted everything he had found out from the investigation.

For example, just as Xu Zhizhi expected, Qin Su did not find any murders or vicious cases at first. If it was more than ten years ago, with the degree of isolation at that time, even if something happened, it would most likely be solved internally and not spread.

These people will never report the case unless it really cannot be solved.

Just when Qin Su was about to tell Xu Zhizhi the news tonight, the suspect he caught confessed that there was also an accomplice of theirs in Lin County, and his surname was said to be He.

Their pyramid scheme gang fled to Lin County and lived there for a while.

At that time, a few of them were out fooling around and met this accomplice.

He had some money, but wanted to cheat someone, so he asked them to help him set up a trap. He cheated more than 200,000 yuan, but it was just that one time, and the person who followed him withdrew.

In order to gain merit, they confessed during the interrogation.

Qin Su didn't care at first, because this matter couldn't be related to Xu Zhizhi. According to the clues they provided, they didn't know the man's name, they just knew him by chance, and they only knew that he was from the county town.

The people in the county town are still somewhat distant from Xu Zhizhi.

But these people are not stupid. They said that although the other party wore a mask throughout the whole process, in order to guard against him, they installed a camera and took pictures of the other party's face without his knowledge.

After being arrested this afternoon, they immediately produced the video, hoping to redeem themselves from their crimes.

By coincidence, Qin Su and his team quickly found this person with the cooperation of Linxian police. In order to support Xu Zhizhi, Qin Su immediately learned about the specific location where Xu Zhizhi filmed.

When he saw the two overlapping addresses, he immediately realized that something was wrong and prepared to call Xu Zhizhi to ask her to be careful.

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhizhi also called. To some extent, the two of them had a tacit understanding.

As for what type of honey trap it was, Qin Su did not reveal the details of the other party's case. He only said that the other party's surname was He and he was from Hejia Village where Xu Zhizhi lived.

This situation is consistent with what Xu Zhizhi said.

They have already communicated with the local police and will go to the village to arrest the other party tonight.

After hearing this, Xu Zhizhi immediately thought of the He brothers who harassed her.

Unexpectedly, she and Qin Su could notice the same person after traveling thousands of kilometers. Although she was uncertain, Xu Zhizhi believed in her intuition.

She teased Qin Su and asked him when he would come, hoping that they could meet and communicate then.

Qin Suo meant three hours, which was 11 o'clock at night.

At this time Xu Zhizhi thought that the matter of the coal mine in this village needed to be confirmed.

She asked and asked Qin Su to help ask the police in Lin County.

Qin Su reacted quickly and asked the people around him, and soon confirmed Xu Zhizhi's statement, "The town where Hejia Village is located is indeed rich in coal mines, and there were many illegal coal kilns in the early years. For about 10 years, this kind of illegal mining of coal resources was rampant, with many deaths and injuries. Lin County cracked down on it, and it has basically disappeared now."

"I understand. I wonder if Captain Qin is interested in listening to my story." Xu Zhizhi already knew some of the information, and asked with a smile if the other party was interested in hearing the situation.

She knew that there must be a murder involved, and the police were coming, so maybe she could get some unexpected surprises.

Guan Jian, Qin Su and others are coming with the police from Lin County, so they might directly open a case for investigation.

Qin Su raised his eyebrows, knowing that Xu Zhizhi had something big to say again, and said directly: "Tell me! I want to hear what this case is about."

Qin Su told Xu Zhizhi that he had turned on the loudspeaker. They were on their way here and the car was full of police officers, so there was nothing they couldn't hear.

Qin Su's teammates were not surprised, but the police from Lin County looked at each other in bewilderment.

But since everyone is bored, there's no big deal in just listening to it.

Xu Zhizhi started talking about coal mines in a low voice.

But her perspective was not the girl, but the village and the black coal kiln.

The village relies on the black coal kiln, and there is also death compensation, as well as the first death, the second death, and the third death.

"The first time was probably a real accident, because at that time, although the tacit agreement was a compensation of NT$100,000, I guess many black coal kiln owners would not pay so much." The black coal kilns in the early years were very dark. At that time, it was unusual to have a coal mine, thugs and means.

As a capitalist, one should lose as little as possible.

Perhaps one hundred thousand was the highest number at the time. After all, only people with a "conscience" could afford to pay so much.

So the first one is an accident, because it is impossible to predict how much the compensation will be.

If it is unpredictable, no one will take the risk.

Until the first person dies, he/she will receive the highest compensation x2.

Xu Zhizhi continued, "Two hundred thousand, that should be the two hundred thousand in 2005 or 2006. Converted to today, it's at least one and a half million. Many people in the village were tempted, but no one took action until the first person took the plunge."

"The owner of the illegal coal kiln continued to lose money. The villagers were blinded by the benefits and created a third coal kiln collapse incident, killing five people in total, four of whom did it intentionally."

Qin Su quickly noticed that there was another missing person. "The girl's mother disappeared in a strange way."

According to Xu Zhizhi's description, she was very sad about her husband's death. She also had two daughters and her mother's family.

With money and stable social connections, it was almost impossible for a woman in the early 2000s to run away with the money.

According to his experience, rural women run away from their hometowns largely because of lack of money, love and violence.

Given the social situation at the time, it was very difficult for a woman who had hardly ever left the mountains in her entire life to leave her hometown.

Nowadays, thanks to the development of information technology, you can go out as long as you have a mobile phone and some money.

At that time, she knew almost nothing about the outside world, and such a person would not take risks easily.

"I thought of that, too. That's why I suspect there's a murder case for money behind this." Xu Zhizhi sighed helplessly and said softly.

Qin Suminrui realized what Xu Zhizhi was sighing about, and he said calmly: "This is a real event, not a story, and this event happened in Hejia Village."

"Now tell me who told you this story."

He said what Xu Zhizhi didn't say, allowing Xu Zhizhi to directly tell the details of the situation.

Xu Zhizhi supported her forehead and said, "I can't hide it from you. It was Yan Xue from the same crew who said it. I suspect she is one of the people involved."

"So you want me to check her information?" Qin Su said.

Xu Zhizhi hummed, "The information on the Internet is too fake. I can't tell it clearly. The information you find will be more accurate."

"Anything else to say?" Qin Su asked.

Xu Zhizhi recalled the conflict between the He brothers and Yan Xue, and slowly told them everything that had happened.

Finally, Xu Zhizhi added: "It feels like the key to everything is the village road that is to be built. This road must be hiding some secret. Yan Xue deliberately wants to reveal it, and the He brothers deliberately want to cover it up."

Qin Su said he knew everything and he would investigate the remaining details with the Linxian Public Security Bureau.

The personnel from the Lin County Public Security Bureau who accompanied the arrest looked at each other in bewilderment. They never expected that they could just accompany the arrest and actually bring up an old case.

After a moment of silence, the other party took the initiative to speak.

"Check the family situation of the girl Xu Zhizhi mentioned, Yan Xue's identity, and the financial situation of the He family after the coal mine death incident. The owner of the illegal coal kiln at that time should still be recognized or known by someone. If we find out and verify the situation, we should be able to know whether this matter is true or not." The Lin County police took the initiative to say.

When handling a case, one cannot just listen to one side of the story and believe it. The most important thing is to verify whether the matter is true or not.

This is the premise of all investigations.

Qin Su nodded. "There is also the situation of the He brothers and his family who are in conflict with Xu Zhizhi. This is also the key. I feel that they are probably the brothers of the girl's father."

"Okay, these are not difficult to check. Let's make a phone call and ask." The Linxian police took out his mobile phone and quickly called the town police station to inquire about Hejia Village.

They have household registration data there, and we can get a rough idea by looking at the deaths and cancellations of accounts.

The other party said that he would let the police on duty check it out and then hung up the phone.

Qin Su took out his cell phone and sent a message to Xu Zhizhi asking her to be more careful.

Xu Zhizhi replied that she knew, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He smiled helplessly. Xu Zhizhi had an accident-prone physique.

I encounter it every time, but it's different every time.

Fortunately, Xu Zhizhi had a good attitude and was not affected by these people.

Just as he was thinking about what had happened before, he received a call from the Zhenshang Police Station to which Hejia Village belongs.

They have already found out.

What they didn't expect was that one of the He brothers mentioned by Xu Zhizhi was the person they wanted to arrest this time.

"And just as you expected, the He brothers' father had brothers whose household registration was cancelled in 2008. According to inquiries from the town police station, they were indeed crushed to death by the collapse of a black coal kiln. There were also two people from the village. Two people were also crushed to death and their household registration was cancelled earlier. Although the cause of death was not written so, the town is that small and people in their forties and fifties know it." After the Linxian police communicated with the people from the police station, they looked at Qin Su and said.

Another Linxian police officer replied, "What Xu Zhizhi said is basically true. It really happened. The woman who ran away probably didn't run away, but was murdered."

Coupled with the road repair incident, the truth was obvious to the experienced police officers.

Qin Su looked at the phone that was still on, gestured to the Linxian police, took the phone and asked, "Hello comrade, may I ask, do you know when the road in Hejia Village was built?"

The other person had a deep and old voice. He was probably an elderly person, a veteran policeman.

He thought for a moment and said, "It was repaired twice. The first time was early. The gravel road was built when the black coal kilns were rampant. In 2006 and 2007, those people raised funds to build it because they needed to transport coal. Within two years, the coal kilns were all demolished, but within two years, the road was damaged by various vehicles and was full of potholes."

"The second time was about ten years ago. We had no money then, so we just laid another layer of cement on top. Over the years, some of it has collapsed, and some of it has become ditches, making it difficult to walk on."

Qin Su checked the time and found it matched his thoughts. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the other party, he thanked him and returned the phone.

Qin Su's teammate was the first to say, "The timing matches, so it seems that someone was killed and then buried on the village road that was being built at the time."

"This family is truly full of evil," a policeman frowned.

Qin Su frowned and said, "There is no evidence now, so let's not talk about this matter when we get there. I suggest we find a reason to stay in the village for two days."

"Yes, if we can find clues and the body, we should be able to convict the suspect and arrest him," another policeman agreed.

There happened to be five of them, so if anything was to go wrong the arrest could be successful.

Others agreed that they could just sit back and do nothing.

After thinking about it, Qin Su decided to take a look first.

There is still one person who has not been found, and that is the victim of the honey trap.

It's a good opportunity to look for it. According to Lin County's efficiency, there should be results tomorrow morning.

The key is that Qin Su wants to solve it first, so that Xu Zhizhi will be safer.

Generally speaking, once something is happening around her and it is resolved, there will be some peace for a while.

Xu Zhizhi smiled as she read Qin Su's concerned text message. "Captain Qin is still reliable. With him, all I have to do is deduce the truth."

Just leave law enforcement to professional police.

Xu Zhizhi put down her phone, picked up the writing board next to the painting, and started drawing on the paper with a sketch pen.

She brought it with her because she was afraid of getting bored in the village, and also because she needed to help Qin Su occasionally, so she brought it with her.

She is currently painting portraits of the He brothers, and she wants to verify something.

She was so impressed by the two people that she finished the painting quickly.

She picked up the two pictures and started drawing again.

This time it's He Li's.

She had seen He Li up close many times, so it was no difficulty for her to paint her.

Fifteen minutes later, Xu Zhizhi quickly got the portrait.

Finally, there is a portrait of Yan Xue.

Xu Zhizhi knew Yan Xue had plastic surgery, but she had never analyzed what she looked like. She was not a dark, twisted, creepy person, so she had no interest in digging into this.

After finishing her acting and work, she just wanted to lie down and didn't want to be busy with unimportant things.

There are also many male and female celebrities in the entertainment industry who have undergone plastic surgery, both major and minor, striving for perfection.

To Xu Zhizhi, people who have undergone micro plastic surgery are commonplace, so she has no intention of exploring the issue.

However, since the other party did not affect her, she wanted to explore something, so she had to use the most time-saving and efficient method to get results.

Comparing the appearances and determining the degree of resemblance was enough for Xu Zhizhi to confirm the identity.

She gritted her teeth and thought, and after she finished thinking, she began to sketch on the paper.

The more Xu Zhizhi drew, the more confused she became. The original Yan Xue was actually better looking than the current Yan Xue.

By the time I finished painting, half an hour had passed.

She picked up the sketches and began comparing them one by one.

Eyebrows, lips and facial contours, and in the mind recall the hands of both parties.

After comparison, Xu Zhizhi confirmed that Yan Xue had a certain relationship with the He brothers and He Li.

Not very similar to He Li, only one or two minutes, probably because they are distant relatives, probably He Li's grandfather and Yan Xue's grandfather are brothers or something like that.

So it can be basically confirmed that Yan Xue and the little girl in her story are the same person.

The death of Yan Xue's father was most likely caused by the He brothers' parents, who wanted to pay the compensation. The mother who escaped was missing, and the compensation for the father was probably swallowed up by the He brothers' parents.

Killed two people just for that money!

Profits make people crazy.

Yan Xue's purpose is to give her parents justice.

She wanted to use the excuse of filming a movie to show her love and rebuild the road, probably because the other party buried the body on the village road.

I just don't know how the other party made the police's suspicion fall on the He brothers.

Because even if the body was dug up, it might not be possible to prove that they were involved in the mother's death.

Unless she has other plans.

Xu Zhizhi put down the two sketches in her hands, her face looking a little solemn.

She did sympathize with the other person, but when she thought about herself, she couldn't feel sympathy.

Out of nowhere, I became a tool and was dragged into this.

Perhaps the key lies in the other party's follow-up.

She came to her senses, put away her sketch and put it in her bag.

Looking at the mobile phone next to her, she took out her phone and sent her reasoning to Qin Su.

Then Xu Zhizhi saw the message Qin Su sent her, which mainly confirmed the truth of the matter and that they would enter the village in plain clothes, pretending to be road surveyors.

After reading it, Xu Zhizhi replied, "I understand."

Now the truth of the matter is basically clear. Yan Xue got the revenge script, and the He brothers were panicked and tried to move the body. The two sides have reached a critical moment.

Xu Zhizhi is just a tool in the script, and she has relied on her own understanding to get to where she is today.

She thought about why the other party approached her, maybe because she could profile? And she had some fighting skills.

As for why the profile is included, it is probably because if the victim is dug up, they can use the profile to immediately identify the person, and then find relatives on the mother's side to conduct a DNA test to complete identity verification.

There is basically nothing left, I am just a tool for sure.

While thinking, Xu Zhizhi picked up her toiletries and went to wash up.

It was already past nine o'clock and not many people were around, so Xu Zhizhi was just washing up.

But I didn't expect that when I came out after washing up, I would run into Yan Xue standing at the door.

Xu Zhizhi's behavior was normal. To her, there was no difference between knowing something and knowing nothing.

She didn't worry about it because there was no need to, she had learned mentally how to lie flat.

“Zhizhi.”

Xu Zhizhi was just about to nod and leave when Yan Xue called her unexpectedly.

Xu Zhizhi stood beside Yan Xue and turned her head to look at her. "What's wrong?"

"Would you like to chat?" she asked.

Xu Zhizhi wanted to shake her head. She wanted to go back and lie down to play games.

But seeing that Yan Xue seemed to have something to say, she thought about it and nodded in agreement, "Okay, sit down and chat for a while."

I'm free anyway, so I might as well take a look at what medicine is being sold.

After Xu Zhizhi took the toiletries back, she walked out and sat down beside the stone at the edge of the courtyard.

Yan Xue also sat down, facing the village road under the stairs of the house.

"Zhizhi, I heard that you have rich experience on the film set. Can I hear a little bit about it?" Yan Xue asked curiously.

Xu Zhizhi didn't expect her to talk about this, so she thought about it and picked out some things that could be said publicly. These were the things that were well known to everyone, and Xu Zhizhi didn't mention the things that were not made public.

Yan Xue's eyes widened as she listened, marveling at Xu Zhizhi's rich experience.

Xu Zhizhi looked at Yan Xue, "How are you? It feels like Senior Yan Xue has been through a lot."

She did not evade the question or make any allusive remarks, but just spoke her mind.

Yan Xue was surprised. After all, in the eyes of many people in the entertainment industry, she should be the kind of person who speaks with a silver spoon in her mouth.

"My life is ordinary and there is nothing worth commenting on," she sighed.

Xu Zhizhi shook her head, "I thought Senior Yan Xue would be a very interesting person, but I didn't expect that I was wrong."

Yan Xue's expression froze for a moment, and she felt guilty for a moment.

Xu Zhizhi was right about this expression.

"That's not the case. Why do you think so?" Yan Xue's voice was slightly weak, probably because her complexity was seen through.

Xu Zhizhi spread her hands, pretending that she didn't mean it, and said doubtfully: "Then it seems that I was wrong."

"Hahaha, that's normal. Life is full of illusions." Yan Xue said.

Xu Zhizhi thought about it, turned around and suddenly mentioned, "By the way, you haven't told me your thoughts on the story that Senior Yan Xue told you last time! What do you think the story is about, and who do you think the murderer is?"

Xu Zhizhi stared at the other person with clear eyes, like a little girl who was curious about the truth and wanted to know what her friend was thinking.

"Why do you suddenly want to know this?" Yan Xue was surprised by Xu Zhizhi's sudden idea.

She originally wanted to ask Xu Zhizhi about some profiling knowledge.

Now it’s Xu Zhizhi who asked her instead of her.

Xu Zhizhi said innocently, "I just want to know! I'm curious about what Senior Yan Xue, the narrator of this story, thought. Your story is really true! It doesn't feel like a fictional story."

"...Why do you think so?" Yan Xue felt even more guilty after being hit on the head.

She didn't know how Xu Zhizhi became the main person in charge of the conversation.

She was a little afraid of being found out by Xu Zhizhi, because Xu Zhizhi's view of good and evil was somewhat different from that of most people.

At the same time, she was afraid that Xu Zhizhi would dislike her because she liked Xu Zhizhi very much.

The more she understood, the more guilty she felt, and the more she liked Xu Zhizhi like this. She regretted thinking that the other party was a marketing expert who was pretending to be a bad person, and she wanted to slap herself to death when she took advantage of him halfway.

But she didn't dare to bet that Xu Zhizhi would stand on her side.

Her expression caught Xu Zhizhi's eye, and Xu Zhizhi pretended to look away at the night.

After a while, perhaps calming down, Yan Xue slowly said, "If it were me, I would think that the little girl's father was killed by her uncle. Her mother didn't run away, but was killed by her uncle's family. The murderer was my uncle, who killed my brother and sister-in-law for money."

Xu Zhizhi looked at Yan Xue in surprise when she heard this. She didn't expect Yan Xue to be so honest. She really meant what she said! This was far beyond Xu Zhizhi's expectations. She thought Yan Xue would refuse to say anything.

"It's quite reasonable and similar to what I think. But this story is not good. The bad guys didn't get punished, and I feel uncomfortable." Xu Zhizhi rubbed the sides of her cheeks with both hands to calm herself down.

She is a little too clear about what she likes and dislikes.

As for Yan Xue, Xu Zhizhi could actually understand that people sometimes have their own standpoints and ideas. If they all matched, it would be impossible.

When Xu Zhizhi came into contact with Yan Xue, she really wanted to be friends with Yan Xue, just like Chen Han.

Now it seems that she was naive. Now she is in a situation where she is being used and exploited. There is no pure friendship between them.

Yan Xue also fell silent, looking at the familiar night scene in front of her.

She had seen this night scene for many years and was familiar with it to the core.

She felt very sorry for Xu Zhizhi.

It's all her fault that things have developed to this point.

But she had no way out, she had to redress her mother's injustice and seek justice for her mother.

And her father is still sleeping in the mountains behind her, and she wants him to rest in peace.

When all the dust settles, bury them together.

And her younger sister, she brought her younger sister back.

When the time comes, the family of three will be buried in one place.

Fallen leaves return to their roots, returning to their hometown.

Thinking of her father, mother and sister, Yan Xue's eyes welled up in tears, and then she lowered her head to hide the tears that were about to burst out.

The most painful thing about revenge is being forced to recall what happened back then over and over again. She was already over eight years old at the time and she could remember things. She was not aware of hatred at the time and was confused.

As I got older and understood everything, the memories and hatred became deeper. The hatred also grew day by day and did not fade away with time.

Her father was steady and loving, her mother was gentle and hardworking. Her originally harmonious and beautiful family was destroyed by greed. As she and her sister grew up, she tried to give up the revenge and let go of the hatred for her sister.

Originally...originally she was about to let it go, but then God took her sister away again. Thinking of her sister and her own home, Yan Xue lowered her head, tears falling onto her dark pants like beads from a broken string.

She didn't say anything, not wanting to disturb Xu Zhizhi, and pretended to be just thinking with her head down.

Xu Zhizhi sat nearby, looking at the night, as if she knew nothing about what was happening around her. She stared at the dark front, imagining what she had seen during the day, the endless forest stretching out.

She looked up at the stars, densely packed together to form a beautiful and broad galaxy.

One person looked up and the other looked down, seemingly having nothing to do with each other.

Only Xu Zhizhi knew clearly that she had become soft-hearted.

She will take on the role of a tool and help her.
