"Of course. And if he didn't kill him, why would he run?"
"I don't know what he was thinking. He just ran off, leaving his two kids and abandoning his own mother."
"He's already a murderer, you think he cares about that?"
"But it's Zhang Kaiyong's fault, too. Li Xingping was such an honest guy. If he hadn't been pushed to the brink, would he have done something like this?"
The crowd chattered amongst themselves.
It was clear that news of Li Xingping's death in a car accident had already reached the village.
Zhu Qiuwei immediately joined in, blending into the group.
He even mentioned that it was just like the TV shows they watched, like those about Bao Zheng—they had to investigate the case thoroughly to avoid a miscarriage of justice, which was why they were still working so late at night.
Li Xiaowen had no time for that. He gave Shen Xin a meaningful look and led the forensics team toward Duan Dongqiang's house.
