"Ah, it's me. Are you looking for me? I don't know you." Sister Mei said puzzledly.

"Police!" Ye Lin showed his ID.

"Police? Why are you looking for an old woman like me?" Sister Mei asked in confusion.

"Do you know this person?" Ye Lin took out a portrait of Guo Guodong.

Sister Mei took it in her hand, moved it a little further away, frowned, took a look, and exclaimed, "Guodong, how come you have a portrait of Guodong?"

"You know him?"

"He's my man, but he's already gone abroad. Why are you looking for him?" Sister Mei was surprised. "Is he safe?"

"When did he go abroad?" Ye Lin did not answer her, but asked.

"Seven years ago, he said he was going abroad to make money, and then there was no news from him," said Sister Mei.

"he died."

"Ah? Dead?" Sister Mei was struck by lightning when she heard the news. She swayed and almost fell down.

"It's impossible. How could he die? I was still waiting for him. How could he die?" Sister Mei actually started crying as she spoke, as if her hopes had really been shattered.

Ye Lin did not try to persuade her, but instead observed her carefully. It did not seem that Sister Mei was lying, and her crying was very sincere and did not seem fake.

Wasn’t it Sister Mei who killed him?

But looking at her body, even if she could kill someone, it would be difficult for her to carry the corpse up the mountain.

"How did he die? Didn't he know to come back and see me?" Sister Mei said while choking up.

"He didn't go abroad. He was killed and buried on the nameless mountain behind." Ye Lin said calmly.

Sister Mei was stunned for a moment, looking at Ye Lin, and said in disbelief: "Killed? Impossible, he..."

As Sister Mei was talking, her body suddenly went limp and she was about to fall to the ground. Ye Lin was so scared that he quickly grabbed her and pinched her Ren Zhong hard before she woke up.

But even after waking up, Sister Mei was still in a daze, and she couldn't hear anything Ye Lin asked her.

There was no other way, Ye Lin could only call Yu Haifeng and the others over first.

"Found it?" Yu Haifeng and his men rushed over after more than half an hour.

"Found him, Guo Guodong, from Yuezhou, disappeared seven years ago. His family didn't call the police because they thought he had gone abroad." Ye Lin said briefly.

Yu Haifeng looked at Sister Mei and frowned, "How old is this Sister Mei?"

"55 years old. Seven years ago, I should have been 7, but I look a little older."

"Yes, he looks old. He looks younger than 70."

With so many policemen coming, the villagers also gathered around. Ye Lin called the village chief over and asked him about the situation in detail.

It’s similar to what the shop owner said, Sister Mei and Guo Guodong are the kind of people who live together. Guo Guodong is from Yuezhou and is divorced, and Sister Mei is a widower. The two of them don’t have a marriage certificate.

This is the case with many elderly couples.

"I don't think this Mei Jie is the murderer. It could be someone else. We need to investigate Guo Guodong's situation."

Because Sister Mei had not yet recovered, Yu Haifeng arranged for people to investigate in the village.

Guo Guodong lived with Sister Mei for two years, and many people in the village knew about it.

According to feedback from the villagers, Sister Mei lives a decent life with the money left by her husband and the house, and she has a son and a daughter.

Guo Guodong didn't have much money, but he was very popular with Sister Mei, so soon Guo Guodong moved in with Sister Mei. The two of them lived together with Sister Mei's two children, and to outsiders, they seemed quite happy.

Sister Mei was very happy during that time, but later her husband left, her daughter died, and her son worked in the city. Sister Mei lived alone, and she missed Guo Guodong, so she aged a little faster.

As for the statement that Guo Guodong went abroad, it was Sister Mei who said it herself. The villagers did not know the specific situation and could only wait for Sister Mei to recover before asking.

Considering that Sister Mei was not in good mental condition and was old, Yu Haifeng did not take Sister Mei back and planned to wait another day before asking her again.

...

After returning, Yu Haifeng asked people to investigate Guo Guodong's situation.

Since I am a native of Yuezhou, the investigation was relatively quick.

Guo Guodong was 45 years old when he died. He divorced when he was about 30 years old. His ex-wife was also from Yuezhou and lived alone with the children.

According to the community, Guo Guodong has always been a gigolo. Before he was with Sister Mei, he had dated many women. He did not work and was supported by women.

He basically ignores his ex-wife and son and has no contact with them.

"After living off others for more than ten years, he is really a talented person." Ye Lin complained.

"That's a skill. Even Sister Mei can eat it. I admire you." Wang Longxin joked.

Yu Haifeng: "Nowadays, young girls are hard to deceive, so they only know how to deceive the elderly. Not only do they cheat money, but they also cheat on feelings. Look at how sad Sister Mei is. I guess she has been thinking about Guo Guodong for the past few years."

"He has so many love debts. I feel that we have done some investigations and most likely he died at the hands of some woman." Ye Lin shook his head.

The more complicated the deceased's relationships were, the more clues there would be to investigate, but it would still be difficult. Moreover, for a gigolo like him, many women would avoid talking about it even when they suffered losses, making it even more difficult for you to investigate.

"When Sister Mei is in a better mental state tomorrow, we'll go ask her what's going on."

......

The next day, Ye Lin waited a while before going, fearing that the old lady was too tired.

Unexpectedly, before we even set off, we received a call saying that Sister Mei had died.

"What? Dead?" Ye Lin felt terrible when he received the call.

He was fine yesterday, why did he die today?

"Wait, we'll be there soon."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Lin reported to Yu Haifeng and everyone rushed over together.

I just wanted Sister Mei to have a good rest, but I didn't expect her to die. This is such a joke.

A lot of people gathered at Sister Mei's door, talking in low voices.

"Come on, make way and let us in." Ye Lin pushed through the crowd and walked in.

In the hall, Sister Mei was lying on the ground with a pool of blood under her head, and it looked like she had fallen.

A middle-aged man was kneeling next to Sister Mei, with a look of grief on his face.

"Who is this man?" Ye Lin looked at the village chief next to him.

"This is Sister Mei's son, Li Chunhai. We told him that Sister Mei had died, and he rushed back from the city."

Li Chunhai looked very sad due to the pain of losing his mother. He knelt on the ground and was unwilling to get up.

Ye Lin pulled the village chief out and asked, "Who found out?"

"It was Aunt Pang who found it. I asked her to come over." The village chief went to call people consciously.

As her name suggests, Aunt Fat is a little fat, but that’s okay. She was still a little nervous when she saw Ye Lin, and she was a little scared after discovering the body.

"How did you find out? Tell us," Ye Lin asked.
