Chapter 120 Destroyed Evidence
Liang Yi followed Gensheng toward the temporary police post at the entrance of the village.

On the road, Gensheng staggered, his trouser legs still covered in mud that he hadn't had time to clean.

During this time, he had been traveling around trying to find the murderer who killed his father.

Gensheng didn't believe that Andy On had done it; that coward couldn't possibly commit murder.

“Comrade Liang, my father is an honest man all his life and is afraid of offending people. But Old Li is different. Last year, he burned down my father’s woodpile because of a dispute over land boundaries. My father was so angry that he lay down for three days.”

"Don't let Old Li's carefree attitude fool you, he's a real ruthless guy."

After Gensheng finished speaking, Liang Yi asked, "How long has your father's land dispute with Old Li lasted?"

Gensheng sniffed, his voice choked with emotion.

“It’s been almost half a year. Back in the spring, Old Li wanted to move his land half a foot closer to my house. My dad refused, and the two of them had a big fight.”

"Later, my dad planted a row of pepper trees over there. Old Li secretly dug up three of them at night, but my dad caught him red-handed and almost hit him with a hoe."

At this point, Gensheng suddenly stopped, turned to look at Liang Yi, his eyes bloodshot.

"Comrade Liang, I know that saying these things is useless, but what I have in my hand is the proof."

Liang Yi raised an eyebrow, signaling him to continue.

"It's a diary."

Gensheng lowered his voice even further, as if afraid of being heard by others: "My father is illiterate, but he can draw."

“He drew all the conflicts between him and Lao Li, and they are in this notebook in my hand. This is the evidence of the conflicts between them.”

“I know everyone says that Andy On killed my father, but I don’t believe it at all. I’ve met Andy On. He looks ruthless on the surface, but in reality, he doesn’t dare to say a word if someone says anything even slightly harsh to him.”

At this point, Gensheng's eyes were filled with resentment.

If he had been home that day, maybe his father wouldn't have died.

But it's too late to say anything now; what's done is done, and the dead cannot be brought back to life.

The two of them talked and soon arrived at the village's temporary outpost.

Captain Wang, who was working inside, knew Liang Yi. When he saw Liang Yi, he reached out his hand, but Liang Yi shook his head.

Captain Wang then remembered that Liang Yi had told him not to reveal his identity in the village, and that his visit this time was a secret.

Thinking of this, Captain Wang awkwardly withdrew his hand.

"What's wrong? Has Gensheng made some new discovery?"

Captain Wang obviously knew Gensheng, since Gensheng had been coming here every few days since his father's accident.

He's even more hardworking than their teammates.

"Captain Wang, I found a notebook while I was sorting through my dad's things today. It has drawings of the dispute between my dad and Lao Li. Can this be used as evidence to show that there was indeed a major dispute between Lao Li and my dad?"

After spending so many days here, Gensheng has learned some technical terms from them.

He knew that everything required evidence, so he brought this diary with him today.

If this diary can serve as important evidence to prove that there is indeed an irreconcilable conflict between Lao Li and his father.

So Lao Li now has a sufficient motive to kill, and whatever the reason, he is now a suspect and can no longer escape justice.

Captain Wang was also very happy to hear what Gensheng said. This matter has been stuck for so many days now, and if there is no progress, the higher-ups will get angry.

The diary that Gensheng brought over was a lifesaver for them.

Captain Wang eagerly took the diary, but unfortunately, the drawings on the cigarette box were crooked and illegible. At most, he could make out a name, but he couldn't even be sure of it.

How could this be used as evidence? Captain Wang was immediately stumped.

"Captain Wang, why don't you keep it for now? I think this thing can be used as evidence."

Liang Yi spoke up, and Captain Wang, not understanding why, put it away anyway.

Liang Yi looked at the diary and turned to the middle page.

Two little figures are drawn crookedly with charcoal pencil above, one holding a hoe and the other squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, with the character "Li" written crookedly next to them.

"Gensheng, how far is your father's grave from the land disputed area?" Liang Yi suddenly looked up, his gaze sweeping over the village map posted on the wall.

Gensheng replied, "It's about half a mile away, just across two cornfields."

Captain Wang also realized what was happening: "You mean..."

"I want to see it."

Liang Yi closed the diary and, when handing it back to Captain Wang, deliberately pointed to a certain corner page.

"Is this a painting of an old locust tree?"

Gengsheng leaned over for a look and nodded repeatedly: "Yes! It's that old locust tree at the entrance of the village! My dad always rests under it when he goes to the fields."

Captain Wang then noticed that there was indeed a crooked tree drawn in the corner of that page, with a small mound of earth drawn under the tree, and a dot made of red ink next to it.

He didn't know what Liang Yi was thinking, but he always felt that Liang Yi's eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.

……

In a small Western-style building in Haicheng.

Qian Xue was startled when she saw Old Li coming to find her.

"Why are you here?"

She wasn't looking for someone... How did Old Li end up here?

"You bitch, I handed you out, and you still want me dead?"

Old Li, unwilling to give up, grabbed Qian Xue by the neck and forced her to the innermost part of the room.

What are you talking about? I don't know what you're talking about!

Qian Xue struggled desperately, but Old Li coldly said, "Didn't you ask someone to pass me a message so I could come out?"

"Luckily I sensed something was wrong, otherwise you would have tricked me."

He thought Qian Xue was a complete naive girl, but he never imagined that she would actually hire someone to kill him.

He wanted to solidify his reputation for killing Old Qi.

Qian Xue's fingernails dug deeply into the back of Old Li's hand, and she hissed, "Let go... I can save you..."

"help me?"

Old Li chuckled, but didn't completely let go of her hand.

"Can I trust you?"

"If you don't trust me, who else can you trust?"

Only after Qian Xue said that did Old Li finally let go.

Qian Xue stood up and went to pour water for Lao Li. She twisted her body, which made Lao Li envious.

Before Qian Xue could turn around, he rushed up to her impatiently.

Qian Xue, suppressing her nausea, pushed him away: "What are you doing?"

"What did you say I did?"

"What, you don't recognize me anymore now that you're back in Haicheng?"

Old Li smelled terrible, and Qian Xue felt nauseous. She reached for a vase and smashed it at Old Li.

Before Old Li could even react, he collapsed to the ground.

Qian Xue was panting heavily.

She absolutely cannot let Lao Li ruin what she has worked so hard for.

Thinking of this, a ruthless glint flashed in her eyes, and she turned around to dial the phone.

"Room 2, Haimin Road, there's someone committing indecent acts!"

My wrists are a little sore, so I'll be taking a break today to post just one chapter!
