"As for me, I just saw that he was from the same hometown, and I thought the construction site here was good, so I called him over."

"Then you take good care of him." Ye Lin continued slowly.

"That's right, comrade. You don't know him. He has been an honest guy for so many years. He doesn't have any skills and only has strength. If I hadn't taken him with me, he would only be able to farm at home." Zhao Facheng said proudly. It is a great honor to be able to bring fellow villagers out to work. He has a high status in the village, which he has always been proud of.

"You guys were working in Yuezhou before, right?"

"Well, I've been doing it for a few years. Comrade, can I have another one?" Zhao Facheng licked his face and pointed at the golden lotus.

"This bag is all yours. I'll get you two more bags when you leave later. I appreciate you the most for taking care of your fellow villagers."

Ye Lin’s words made Zhao Facheng very happy and he completely relaxed. He lit another cigarette.

"This is what we should do. As fellow villagers, we should help each other when we are out here."

"I looked at the surveillance footage. Did Zhao Dashan say anything to you before he left?" Ye Lin asked calmly, interrupting what he wanted to ask.

"Well, he told me to lie down and not move. I guess this guy still has a conscience. He knew that I helped him over the years, so he didn't shoot me." Zhao Facheng was still frightened when he said this.

Ye Lin nodded secretly. His guess was right. Zhao Dashan should be a man who valued friendship and loyalty. After killing so many people, he was still quite nice to his fellow villager.

"I heard that you who come out to work will have temporary couples or something. Didn't he find one as a bachelor?" Ye Lin continued to ask.

"Haha." Zhao Facheng smiled awkwardly. He didn't expect Ye Lin to know about this kind of thing. "Comrade, we are all willing. There is no coercion. Let's part ways in peace."

Ye Lin waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, we are just chatting casually. As long as the couple doesn't make a fuss, we won't care about this kind of thing."

"I think so. The police are there to catch bad guys, and we are just satisfying our physiological needs. But there really isn't any in the mountains, at least I don't know."

"So he didn't find a temporary one, so is he in a relationship?"

"What's the point of talking? Who would talk to a blockhead like him? At most, he can just go to the hair salon next door to get it done." Zhao Facheng said disdainfully. He even forgot that he was talking about Zhao Dashan, a man with 10 lives on his shoulders, and not the Zhao Dashan who had been working with him.

Ye Lin was a little disappointed. He had thought that Zhao Dashan had something to worry about in Yuezhou, but it seemed like that was all nonsense.

"However, this kid has been acting strange recently. I think he may be in love." Zhao Facheng suddenly said mysteriously.

"Oh, tell me about it." Ye Lin had a hunch that this might very well be the clue to Zhao Dashan.

"Recently, he always comes back to stare blankly by himself, and smiles from time to time. Let me tell you, comrade, when I asked him, he still didn't admit it. But as someone who has been through this, how could I not know that this kid has someone he likes." Zhao Facheng is very proud of his judgment.

"Based on your understanding of him, you can probably guess where he's from, right?" Ye Lin flattered Zhao Facheng, making Zhao Facheng feel very comfortable.

"That's right. He thought I couldn't see it. Comrade, what kind of person was this kid before? He was so stingy that he didn't want to spend a penny. He just wanted to make money to build a house. But guess what happened to him recently?"

"He has a midnight snack every night and sometimes drinks beer. This bowl of fried noodles and beer must cost twenty dollars. He is really willing to spend that. If there is no problem, I dare to swallow the bottle." Zhao Facheng now looks like a detective. He had already made this guess in his mind, but the police didn't ask before and he was too nervous to remember it.

"You mean he's going out for a midnight snack with his girlfriend?"

"It's impossible for him to have a girlfriend. I know his personality. He's a taciturn person, how can he find one so quickly? I guess there's someone he has a crush on at the night snack bar, and he just wants to go take a look. He'll be happy just by looking."

Ye Lin suddenly recalled the video of the small square, where Zhao Dashan was eating fried noodles. If he remembered correctly, the owner was a woman, and she was with the little girl.

Zhao Dashan, even though he had finished his fried noodles, still sat there for a long time, waiting for the foreigners to leave.

And judging by the appearance of him and the little girl, he must be an old customer.

There is a high probability that this stall is what Zhao Dashan is concerned about.

During the following conversation, Zhao Facheng really didn't know what was going on. Ye Lin kept his promise and gave him two more packs of Golden Lotus, which made him so happy that his heart was blooming. He made a lot of money by coming to the police station today, 300 yuan + 3 packs of cigarettes, so cool.

After Zhao Facheng left, Ye Lin called Qi Shan and Sun Jinghua over and pointed to the fried noodle stall in the video in the small square.

"We found the proprietress. She brought a little girl with her. The little girl must be sick."

"This woman might know something?"

Sun Jinghua and Qi Shan showed admiration in their eyes. Captain Ye was amazing. He found the next direction in just half a day. Their clues had been lost for a long time.

Although stalls in the small square are open, registration is still required. Sun Jinghua quickly got the contact information from the management.

Her name is Jin Niang. She has a daughter named Xiao Ai who suffers from heart disease. She has been working here for a long time, reportedly to raise money for her daughter's surgery.

But she hasn't come these two days. It is said that she is going to have surgery for her daughter.

Zhao Dashan just disappeared and she has already collected enough money for the surgery?

Ye Lin didn't believe this was a coincidence.

"Let's go to the hospital." Ye Lin took Qi Shan to the hospital.

Yuezhou People's Hospital, Ye Lin recognized Jin Niang at the first sight at the door of the operating room.

I hadn't looked at her carefully before, but now I see that she does have the charm unique to a mature woman. If Zhao Dashan likes this kind of person, Ye Lin thinks it is normal.

The lights in the operating room were still on. Jin Niang had expressions of excitement and anxiety on her face. She walked back and forth from time to time and didn't notice the arrival of Ye Lin and the others at all.

"Are you Jin Niang?" Ye Lin walked over and asked with a smile.

Jin Niang was frightened for a moment, and when she saw Ye Lin and Qi Shan, her face turned pale at the police uniforms they were wearing.

"Ah, ah, it's me." She answered nervously, rubbing the corners of her clothes with her hands to hide her inner panic.

"We are police officers from the Xishan Branch. Nothing much. We just want to find you to understand the situation." Ye Lin said casually, "How about sitting down?"

"Oh, sit down, sit down." Jin Niang looked at the operating room and sat down awkwardly.

"A child is undergoing surgery? I remember it was a little girl, right? I've been to your fried noodle stall many times." Ye Lin said in a friendly manner.
