As a local policeman, is it appropriate for you to take over the job of a criminal policeman?

"Okay, village chief, let me ask him a few questions first." Ye Lin said.

In fact, when Jin Yushan first came in, he felt that there was something wrong with this person. His eyes were darting around and he didn't dare to look him in the eye.

With so much experience in handling cases, Ye Lin could tell at a glance that this person was hiding something.

So he deliberately smoked and didn't speak, taking the opportunity to observe him, and found that the master's eyes were looking at Ginny intentionally or unintentionally.

Combined with Ginny's somewhat unnatural expression before, Ye Lin guessed that it might be related to Ginny, so he lied about it.

"If Captain Ye hadn't wanted to ask you a question, I would have beaten you to death." Village Chief Jin said breathlessly.

Jin Yushan had been beaten to a bloody mess, his clothes were covered in dust and blood, and he looked pitiful.

"Tell me, explain yourself." Ye Lin said lightly.

"I'll confess, I'll confess." Uncle Ya said crying.

"Yesterday morning, I was taking a walk in the village. When I walked to Jincheng's Buddhist temple, I happened to see Jinnier coming out holding a Buddha statue, looking a little panicked."

"I chased after her and asked her what she was doing."

"She refused to tell me. After I asked her for a long time, she finally said that she had replaced the Buddha statue."

"Then I'll tell you, you're not exchanging, you're stealing."

"She panicked when she heard it and begged me not to tell the villagers, otherwise they would scold her."

At this point, Uncle Ya paused and said a little aggrievedly: "Actually, I didn't intend to do anything. It was just that Ni'er said that as long as I didn't say goodbye to others, she would repay me."

"I was so obsessed with it that I pretended to help her carry the statue home, and then I touched it a few times."

Uncle Ya felt more and more guilty as he spoke, and his voice gradually became quieter.

"You old pervert, you're only going to touch it a few times? You're kidding." Village chief Jin on the side scolded with disdain.

"Yes, I was thinking about that, but she suddenly screamed and I was afraid people would hear me, so I ran away." Uncle Ya said as if he was feeling aggrieved.

"Ginny, is that what he said?" Ye Lin called Ginny out of the house and asked.

Ginny's face was still covered with tears. She sobbed and said, "I just said thank you to him. I didn't expect him to do that to me. I was scared. He touched me up there and then tried to untie my belt. I was so scared that I screamed."

The more Village Chief Jin listened, the angrier he became. He couldn't help but pick up the stick and hit the man twice more.

"Okay, village chief, if you hit me again you'll be breaking the law." Ye Lin grabbed the village chief, who was bleeding heavily. If he hit me again, as long as Uncle Ya called the police, the village chief would have to stay in jail for a few days.

"Call the police and ask Captain Cheng to take the man away and lock him up for a few days for the crime of molesting a girl." Ye Lin pointed at Uncle Ya and said.

Let’s not talk about Uncle Ya for now. Ye Lin sorted out what had just happened.

With the testimonies from Uncle Ya and Ginny, it can be basically confirmed that Ginny replaced the Buddha statue yesterday morning.

That is to say, the person who wiped off the bloodstains in the Buddhist temple before was not Ginny, but someone else.

Who would that be?

Ye Lin was a little confused, as the dark hand was hidden so deeply.

"Village chief, take me to see Jin Chunhua and burn some incense for the deceased." Since there was no result here, Ye Lin decided to go and see Jin Chunhua who had fallen to death.

Jin Dashan's family had not yet packed up the things from the previous funeral, but unexpectedly his wife fell off the cliff again. Jin Dashan knelt on the ground, his face ashen, and did not react to anything, just mechanically nodded in thanks.

Ye Lin greeted him, but he didn't respond at all. Ye Lin could only walk to the coffin and take a look.

Jin Chunhua's death was a bit ugly. She must have hit the ground with her face, so her entire face was distorted and one could only vaguely see her original appearance.

He had changed into a new set of clothes, but there were still some bloodstains and scratches on the exposed skin, probably from the fall.

Unable to tell anything from the outside, Ye Lin could only ask Village Chief Jin to take him to the scene to see.

According to the village chief, Jin Chunhua disappeared last night. Jin Dashan came to find him, and then he took the villagers to look for her outside. When they found the cliff, they discovered Jin Chunhua underneath, dead at that moment.

As for why she went and where she went, and whether she went with anyone, no one knows. We can only assume that she missed her daughter and accidentally fell.

Ye Lin followed Village Chief Jin to the cliff. It took them about half an hour to walk there, which was not very far considering the mountain road.

The so-called cliff is not actually the towering mountain like in the movies, but a relatively steep mountain road with a large rock protruding from the side, which is indeed quite dangerous.

However, Ye Lin took a look and saw that there were quite a lot of messy things on the stone, and it seemed that quite a few people came.

"The scenery here is beautiful and it's cool. People in the village sometimes sit here to rest or something." Village chief Jin explained.

"Aren't you afraid of falling?" Ye Lin asked.

"We are all from the mountains. If you want to talk about danger, there are even more dangerous things in the mountains. Just get used to it." Village Chief Jin said it quite honestly.

Maybe for people like them who make a living from the mountains, such a small cliff is really nothing.

Ye Lin stood on it carefully and stepped on it with his feet. It was quite stable. The wonders of nature were truly extraordinary.

It felt quite dangerous standing on the mountain road just now, but now that I’m standing on it, it’s actually not that bad. The surface of the stone is very rough and generally won’t slip.

"Chunhua fell from this position." Village Chief Jin pointed to a position on the edge of the platform.

"When we looked down from the platform, we saw a person lying below, and then when we got down we found it was Chunhua."

Ye Lin walked over and saw that the place where Jin Chunhua fell was covered with footprints. He couldn't tell clearly whether she had slipped or something else.

He squatted on the ground and looked down. There was a ravine more than 20 meters deep. There were trees, but they were not tall.

The ground is covered with rocks and black marks. It should turn into a small river when mountain torrents come in the summer.

Judging from the looks of it, Jin Chunhua must have fallen on the rocks, otherwise her face wouldn't have been bruised like that.

"Village chief, let's go down and take a look." Ye Lin said.

Village Chief Jin pointed to a small path nearby and led Ye Lin down the path.

The path was covered with gravel, and Ye Lin had a hard time walking on it, but Village Chief Jin walked steadily as he was used to it.

After going down, Village Chief Jin pointed to an area and said, "Look, Chunhua fell here, and we carried her up."

In fact, Ye Lin saw it without the village chief telling him. The ground was dark red and there were some mosquitoes on it. This was the smell of blood that they liked.

Ye Lin squatted down and took a closer look. The blood was centered in one spot and splashed out to the sides, as if it had fallen.

There were some scattered blood spots on the roadside, probably dropped when the body was carried away.
