Humans in All Heavens: Starting with Detective Dee

As Di Renjie finished speaking, a trace of sadness flashed across Liu Chuanlin's face.

She already didn't know why her own father had plotted against her, and now, after hearing about the plot, she didn't even have the thought of seeking medical help.

Liu Chuanlin was naturally even more heartbroken.

What's more, the woman he liked became his stepmother.

This relationship is complicated and difficult to resolve.

Anyone in Liu Chuanlin's position would probably be in a complete mess.

Di Renjie noticed Liu Chuanlin's expression and pondered for a moment.

He sighed inwardly; he hadn't misjudged Liu Chuanlin. Liu Chuanlin was indeed a very kind person.

In this situation, no one is willing to tell the truth.

She was unwilling to report her father.

Seeing this, Di Renjie continued to ask, "Young Master Liu, although I wasn't there, I think the truth is that your father, Liu Chali, pushed you off the cliff, right?"

A look of shock flashed across Liu Chuanlin's face. He couldn't understand how Di Renjie knew, since he wasn't there at the time.

However, he immediately recalled the scene of his first meeting with Di Renjie, and a couplet perfectly encapsulated his family's situation at the time.

This greatly shocked him.

He has such powerful reasoning abilities.

It is not impossible to deduce the truth of the matter now.

By paying close attention to Liu Chuanlin's expression, Di Renjie realized that his guess was correct.

Liu Chuanlin remained silent.

He immediately said no more.

"Alright, if you don't want to talk about it, I won't force you."

I think you'll say it someday.

After saying this, Di Renjie got up and left.

He had a very good impression of Liu Chuanlin and really didn't want to force him.

"Mr. Huai?"

Just as Di Renjie turned to leave, Liu Chuanlin suddenly spoke up.

"What? Young Master Liu is willing to talk?" Di Renjie turned around.

Liu Chuanlin shook his head: "No, I just want to ask Mr. Huai, who exactly are you?"

I imagine you're more than just a teacher, aren't you?

Today's events are too surreal; not only did he not die, he was also saved.

The person who saved him was someone he had met once before.

Even though Mr. Huai came to visit him at home and unexpectedly found him dead, he was also unexpectedly found to be alive.

He was rescued.

After paying respects to him, that was it.

How could he possibly live there all the time?

Therefore, Liu Chuanlin also had some guesses in his mind.

This Mr. Huai must be no ordinary person.

"Hahaha." Upon hearing this, Di Renjie burst into laughter.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Yi immediately understood what it meant.

Once the spirit licking is in place, this is something he should be doing.

However, this is a matter of the I Ching.

Zhou Yi stepped forward, pointing at Di Renjie and then at Liu Chuanlin: "Young Master Liu, my master is none other than the current Prime Minister, Lord Di Renjie."

"What? Lord Di Renjie?"

Liu Chuanlin had tried his best to guess Di Renjie's identity, but he still guessed too low. He never expected that it would be the famous Di Renjie.

Seeing the shocked expression on his face, Di Renjie nodded in satisfaction.

I'm very satisfied with how I put on this show.

In this situation, it would be more convincing to have someone else reveal his identity.

It would seem a bit beneath him if he said it himself.

"I..." After a moment of shock, Liu Chuanlin struggled to get up and bow to Di Renjie.

"No need, no need. Young Master Liu's injuries are serious. He can just lie down and doesn't need to get up."

"Thank you, Master Di."

"I understand, I understand," Liu Chuanlin thought, still wondering why Di Renjie was allowed to stay at his house.

It turns out that Mr. Huai was actually Di Renjie.

That makes sense.

However, upon further reflection, Liu Chuanlin became somewhat worried.

Di Renjie was known for his uncanny ability to diagnose problems, and his reputation was widespread.

With him around, it's entirely possible to find evidence that his father murdered him.

He couldn't stop Di Renjie from investigating the case, and for a while he was very worried about his father.

……

"Young Master Liu, please get some rest."

I will come to visit you again later.

"Yes, sir."

The three of them went outside and wandered around the garden.

"My lord, I never expected that Young Master Liu would be so filial. Liu Chali even plotted to harm him."

He still refused to tell the truth.

What shocked me even more was that I had initially doubted this matter—after all, even tigers don't eat their cubs—but judging from Young Master Liu's expression, it was clear that the adult's guess was true.

Li Yuanfang, standing to the side, expressed his incomprehension of Liu Chuanlin's thoughts.

"Yuanfang, Young Master Liu is a gentleman by nature."

It's not surprising that people have this idea.

As for why Liu Chali murdered his own child...

We'll find out.

"So what do we do now? Young Master Liu refuses to tell the truth, and we can't just arrest Liu Chali directly, can we? We don't have any evidence."

"Brother Yuanfang, don't worry."

Liu Chali is just a nobody; many corrupt officials have nowhere to hide in front of the bigwigs.

Finding evidence that Liu Chali murdered his own child is a trivial matter.

Zhou Yi then smiled and said.

"Yes, Di Chun is right. Di Chun understands me best." Di Renjie pointed to the Book of Changes and smiled.

"Then, sir, what's next?"

"Things have to go back to the beginning."

Liu Chali led the two to climb Cuiping Mountain.

Go and fetch Liu Da for me.

"Yes, sir."

Li Yuanfang quickly found Liu Da.

"Sir? You wanted to see me?"

"Yes, Liu Da, how exactly did your young master die?" Di Renjie's stern gaze fell upon Liu Da.

His heart skipped a beat when he saw it.

That's strange. We've been here for several days and I haven't asked anything. Why are you asking now?

He scratched his head, puzzled, but dared not hide it from Di Renjie.

Besides, this matter had nothing to do with him in the first place.

Although he was an internal guard, Liu Chali has now sided with his superior.

But Liu Chali could not possibly tell him about such a vicious thing as murdering his own child.

Therefore, he did not know the truth of the matter and did not know that Liu Chali had murdered Liu Chuanlin.

Of course, whatever you say, you will say it.

"My lord, don't mention it. That morning, the master seemed to remember something."

He wanted the young master to accompany him to climb Cuiping Mountain.

Around 7 AM, the three of us set off from the village.

"What, you went too?"

"Yes, I went too. What bad luck! I had just crossed a ridge when I heard a scream."

The young master then fell off the cliff...

"Sigh, he was smashed to pieces, his flesh was bloody and mangled, and he was unrecognizable."

Zhou Yi and the other two exchanged glances.

Di Renjie asked, "Where is Cuiping Mountain located?"

"Due east."

"Okay, take us to see Cuiping Mountain."

"Huh? Now?"

"Yes, right now."

"Alright, I'll lead the way for you."

Liu Da had no choice but to lead the way.

The three followed closely behind.

First, ride a horse to the foot of Cuiping Mountain.

Then Liu Da led the way and they began to climb the mountain.

The air in the mountains is better than outside.

It was also a bit cold, which immediately invigorated people.

The four walked slowly along the narrow mountain path.
