How could the Netherworld allow him to decide who the ferryman of his own village was? However, Zhao Li also knew that he had gone deep into the enemy's territory alone and did not act rashly. Therefore, after knowing about this, he had been unable to sleep or eat in peace.
On the day of the crime, Zhao Li went to look for the village chief early in the morning. He couldn't tell the exact time, but Zhao Li said that when he woke up, Shao Bo and his wife were still sleeping.
According to Shao Bo's wife's testimony, both she and Shao Bo had the habit of waking up at 7:30 in the morning, which meant that Zhao Li had left his house at least before 7:30 in the morning.
The content of the conversation was nothing more than asking the village chief to give up this idea of independence and obey the arrangements of the Underworld and the laws of nature. He didn't say exactly what method Zhao Li used to make the village chief compromise, but the conversation continued until around two in the afternoon. Both sides reached an agreement.
Zhao Li returned to Shao Bo's house at around 2:50 p. m. He wanted to say goodbye. In fact, he had always been staying at Shao Bo's house in this village. That was why he felt the need to bid farewell. At that time, he received a message from the Nether King asking about the situation.
That was why Zhao Li could barely remember the time. It just so happened that it was on his phone.
However, he did not go in immediately because he heard Shao Bo arguing with his wife. Zhao Li said that he also wanted to leave the village as soon as possible, so he was anxious and paid attention to his phone. At about 3:30 in the afternoon, the two of them finally finished arguing.
Zhao Li went in to bid farewell. Shao Bo was as easy-going as ever, but his wife was slightly cold and did not say anything.
Zhao Li didn't care too much and left immediately after bidding farewell.
According to the timeline that was now clear, no one visited between nine in the morning and two fifty in the afternoon. No one knew what happened between the husband and wife, so they quarreled in the morning and quarreled again in the afternoon.
The following was what Li Hao got from Shao Bo's wife. Oh right, Shao Bo's wife was called Yu Fen.
"Speaking of that day, I quarreled with my husband because of a trivial matter. Everyone in this village knows that my husband is a busybody. "Of course, I didn't say that I couldn't, but he doesn't really care about his own family's matters.”
"For example, the wall in the backyard has been broken for a week. Ask him to take some time to repair it. He has the time to help others, but he always neglects his own family. You asked me if I had anything to do with him helping Zhao Li, and my answer was yes. A couple should be a little selfish. Because of the ferryman, it ran back and forth by itself, and I did everything at home.”
"Yes, that person is living in my house and it makes me feel very uncomfortable. That morning, when he woke up, he realized that Zhao Li was missing. He ordered a tofu pudding and planned to eat it casually before going to talk to the village chief. I only said a few words to him and he started arguing with me.”
"Later, he couldn't persuade me because I said that if this continued, he wouldn't be able to live anymore. He didn't eat the tofu pudding he bought and started working in the backyard. At about 1:30 p. m., he rushed over, saying that he suddenly remembered that he had left something at the village chief's place and wanted to go get it.”
"Do you think I'm stupid? Wasn't it just an excuse to talk to the village chief? How could I let him succeed? But we couldn't reach an agreement, so we quarreled again. It seemed like a long time had passed until Zhao Li came back and knocked on the door.”
"After Zhao Li left, he scolded me for not knowing how to treat guests. I was unconvinced and quarreled with him again. I went straight to the village chief to tell him not to look for our Shao Bo for anything in the future. Who would have thought that such a big thing would happen when he returned!”
In order to confirm what Yu Fen said, Li Hao and the others specially went to the courtyard to take a look. There were indeed various tools for repairing the wall and some unfinished concrete. The hole in the wall was quite big. An adult could even squat through it.
Just as Yu Fen said, the wall was only half repaired, and there were still many that were not finished.
After that, Li Hao asked Shao An to bring him to the village chief. It was confirmed that Yu Fen had arrived at his house at around 3:50 p. m. They had not spoken much because Yu Fen was very agitated. She said that the village chief always instructed Shao Bo to do this and that, but there was no practical benefit.
Before the village chief could explain himself, he heard someone in the village shouting that someone had killed him.
In fact, even if Li Hao walked from Shao Bo's house to the outside of the village in a roundabout way, ten minutes was enough. It was about the same time to walk from Shao Bo's house to the village chief's house. The village chief's house was at the end of the opposite direction of the village entrance.
If Zhao Li was the killer, then he hadn't left the village at all. He had been hiding outside. After Fen left, he had sneaked in, killed the people, and then escaped. At this time, Yu Fen was almost at the village chief's house. The next thing she knew was that the corpse was found and the villagers chased after her.
This assumption was valid, and there was not much error in the time period in between!
But if the murderer was not Zhao Li, then Zhao Li and Yu Fen went in the opposite direction. Ten minutes later, they found the body. At this time, Zhao Li should have arrived at the village entrance. If the villagers were to chase after him at this time, it would be impossible for them to catch up to him without stopping.
Zhao Li insisted that he was caught up by the village chief and his men as soon as he left the village. If he wasn't the murderer, then the murderer must have sneaked in and killed him almost after Zhao Li and Yu Fen left. Then, the people in the village became excited. It was probably at this time that Zhao Li heard a sound behind him.
Out of curiosity, he didn't walk so fast. There was a high chance that he stopped for a moment, which was why the village chief and his men caught up with him.
In that case, the person who found the corpse was very likely the murderer himself!
Li Hao told this reasoning to Zhao Li, who slapped his thigh and said,""I'm dumbfounded. You're right. Indeed, when I left the village, I heard many people shouting behind me, but I couldn't hear what they were shouting. I even turned around and walked for a while, wanting to take a look. But after thinking about it, I felt that it was better not to meddle in this strange village! Only then did he continue walking out!"
"Now that you say it, doesn't everything become clear? The person who found the corpse must be the murderer! A thief crying thief!"
Li Hao smiled and looked at him." But there's no way to confirm this because there's not enough evidence. Moreover, based on all the evidence, you're the murderer. Not only is there sufficient evidence, but it can also explain everything."”
"Li Hao your grandpa!" Zhao Li could not help but shout.
