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

"When Xiao He's father heard this, he got furious and went to Da Chun's house. Da Chun then admitted that he had quarreled with Xiao He. He said that Xiao He didn't want to stay at home because we wanted to force her to get married."

"We had already been looking for her for a whole day and couldn't find her. We were so worried. Her father didn't believe what Dachun said. He said if Xiaohe really ran away from home, she would definitely leave a letter or something. If she didn't leave a letter, she must have been murdered."

Xiao He's mother paused here and showed a guilty expression, "Comrade police, we were a little anxious and angry at the time, so we quarreled with Fourth Uncle."

"My fourth uncle was there to persuade us, saying it must be a misunderstanding and asked us to look for it again. The village chief was there too, so we were afraid it was a misunderstanding, so we decided to go home and look for it again."

"So, on the night of the 13th, we all looked for any letters left at home. Then we asked someone to go to the train station to see if anyone had seen Xiao He."

"On the afternoon of the 14th, the people who went to the station said they couldn't find her, so we went to my fourth uncle's house again. Her father had drunk a little bit of wine at the time, and he started arguing with my fourth uncle and hit Dachun, and then everyone started fighting."

"I remember that all the villagers came and finally pulled the people apart. Dachun was beaten, and her father was also beaten in several places and was bleeding."

Hearing this, Xiao He pulled her mother's hand with a bit of guilt, "Mom, I'm sorry, if I hadn't been so willful, Dad wouldn't have fought with others."

Xiao He's mother sighed. It was impossible to say that she had no resentment in her heart, but one was her husband and the other was her daughter. She couldn't blame anyone because they were both her flesh and blood.

Fortunately, her daughter came back and she finally had something to rely on.

"What happened after that? After the fight, did you look for Dachun?" Ye Lin asked.

Xiao He's mother nodded and said, "I found it."

"After her father came back, he started cursing and drinking again. In the evening, he went to Fourth Uncle's place to curse again."

"My fourth uncle's family probably knew they were in the wrong and didn't dare to come out. Her father scolded them for a while, and the village chief came to persuade them. When he got tired of scolding, he came back to sleep."

"Then on the 15th, we woke up in the morning and had no clue, so we went to find Dachun again to ask him if he had killed our Xiaohe."

"We didn't expect that when we went there, our fourth uncle said that Dachun had left and went to the city. We thought Dachun had fled for fear of being convicted, so we asked the village chief to call the police to arrest him."

"The village chief refused, saying it must be a misunderstanding and asked everyone to calm down."

"Anyway, the day just passed like this."

"Wait." Ye Lin interrupted Xiao He's mother, "Where were you on the night of the 15th? What did you do? Think about it carefully."

"The night of the 15th?" Xiao He's mother lowered her head and thought, but after thinking for a long time she still couldn't remember.

"I really can't remember. I was in a daze for those few days. I guess I was in a daze after I got home." Xiao He's mother said.

He remembered what happened in the previous two days very clearly, but he couldn't remember what happened on the crucial day. Ye Lin frowned secretly.

But it is also understandable that since their daughter is missing, they must have not been able to sleep well for several days and it is possible that they just sat at home in a daze.

"Go on, what about the 16th? That was the day Dachun was found hanging." Ye Lin continued to ask.

"That morning, before we woke up, we heard a commotion in the village. People said something happened in the back hills and Dachun had died."

"Her father and I were shocked at the time. How could Dachun die? We followed the people up the mountain, and then we saw Dachun being let down. There were a few words written on the ground: I'm sorry Xiaohe."

"We said at the time, 'This has proven that it was Dachun who did it.' When Fourth Uncle saw the words, he was speechless."

"Anyway, everyone in the village thought it was Dachun who did it, but they didn't know where he buried Xiaohe's body. Later, we went to the mountain to look for it for a long time but couldn't find it, so we built a grave for Xiaohe, hoping that she would have something to rely on down there."

Xiao He hadn't asked her mother in detail these two days, and she was very sad after hearing it now. The mother and daughter were sighing together.

Ye Lin didn't want to bother them anymore.

...

"Captain Ye, do you think Chen Dachun was killed by Xiao He's parents?" Wang Longxin asked after coming out.

"It's hard to say, but I think it's unlikely." Ye Lin shook his head.

"First of all, Xiao He's mother's words just now also revealed this point, that is, everyone was not sure whether Xiao He was dead or not, until Da Chun committed suicide and wrote those words, everyone believed that Xiao He was killed by Da Chun."

"So everyone was actually misled by Dachun's death?" Wang Longxin said excitedly.

"Yes, they have always believed that Xiao He was gone. Xiao He's parents went to look for Da Chun probably to find out where Xiao He went."

"But it wasn't until Dachun himself wrote that he was sorry for Xiaohe that everyone changed their minds and believed that it was indeed Dachun who killed Xiaohe. And now we see that Xiaohe didn't die at all, so how could Dachun commit suicide in the first place?"

"So, since no one believed Xiao He was dead at the beginning, why did Xiao He's parents want to kill Da Chun? It's impossible, and they even said they would call the police at the beginning."

"I guess Dachun's death is very likely unrelated to Xiaohe's case. It's probably just a coincidence. Now we have to see what this Chen Dachun has done. Let's go to Chen Dachun's house."

...

When the fourth uncle saw the police coming, his face was full of indignation. "I said before that it wasn't my son who killed her, but they didn't believe me. Now, the daughter is alive and my son is dead. What do you think we should do?"

"My son can't die in vain like this."

Ye Lin nodded, signaling his uncle not to get so excited, "Don't worry, we will definitely give you the truth this time."

"We now want to know what happened to your son, Chen Dachun, after Chen He left?"

Fourth Uncle gave a brief account of what had happened over the previous two days. In fact, it was similar to what Chen He’s mother had said. Chen He disappeared, Chen He’s parents came to make a fuss, and then the two sides started fighting.

"On the 15th, I felt that this couldn't go on any longer. They would definitely come to cause trouble again, so I asked Dachun to hide in the city for two days and come back after things were cleared up."

"I didn't expect that he would never come back after he left." Fourth uncle said with tears in his eyes.

Yes, over the years, although his son died, Fourth Uncle did not have a good life at all. He was often pointed at by the villagers, who said that he had a son who was a murderer.

He originally thought so himself, but now he found out that his son was wrongly accused. It was really true that he had never suffered such a great injustice in his life.

Fourth Uncle wiped away his tears and said, "You must find the real murderer. I don't want my son to be wronged like this. Our family's reputation has suffered enough."
