On the night of the incident, I was chatting with my second aunt at the village entrance. Your Uncle said he had gone to a classmate's house to do homework.
However, by eleven-thirty, I still hadn't seen him. When I called his classmate's house, they said he hadn't been there.
Worried that something might have happened to him, I called Gui Lan and asked her to help me look for him.
To my surprise, she wanted to meet me at Back Mountain Orchard.
Gui Lan mentioned that she had discovered manager Niu's secret base and wanted me to accompany her to report it to the police.
But I was too preoccupied with Your Uncle and told her I couldn't make it.
Although Gui Lan seemed unhappy, she didn't say much more.
Who would have thought that night would be our last conversation?
At this point, my mother's eyes began to redden.
The next morning, I heard that Gui Lan had gotten into trouble.
When I arrived at the scene, I found Your Uncle standing next to Gui Lan.
He was wearing a black glove that had bloodstains on it.
I was terrified and thought he might be the one responsible.
But Your Uncle insisted he hadn't killed anyone and claimed he had gone to the orchard looking for Gui Lan but couldn't find her.
He even showed me a note that said " manager Niu wants to kill me" in big letters.
My mother sighed.
Gui Lan's father wasn't home at the time, and Gui Lan hadn't returned either.
I was extremely frightened and thought Your Uncle might get arrested.
Fortunately, the police believed him and did not take him into custody.
After listening to my mother's recollections, I became increasingly convinced that my uncle's testimony was suspicious.
He didn't mention anything about going up the mountain; instead, he directed the suspicion towards my mother.
Moreover, my mother didn't immediately destroy the letters but chose to keep them.
Why was my uncle trying to mislead us?
Why didn't he just reveal the truth?
Unless... he was either afraid or unwilling to disclose something.
Realizing this, I understood that I needed to search for new clues.
At that moment, Ma Guilan's boyfriend, Cheng Hao, suddenly came to mind.
On the night of the incident, he was responsible for watching over the orchard and had witnessed a shadow fleeing from it.
If he really was in the orchard that night, he might have seen the truth.
"Mom, how did Aunt Gui Lan's boyfriend Cheng Hao react after her death?"
"He was very sad and stayed at home for a month before going out."
My mother sighed.
"However, he had been living in the orchard before and was quite reclusive. Besides Gui Lan, he rarely communicated with anyone."
"He was the most suspicious person at that time, and the police interrogated him."
"But his alibi was confirmed, and the semen test results showed that his fluids did not match those found in Ma Guilan's body."
My mother rubbed her forehead and continued speaking.
"However, your uncle did visit Gui Lan's house that afternoon, and there were bloodstains on him when he returned home that night."
"I asked for a long time before he finally said he had a dispute with Cheng Hao and got beaten up by him."
Hearing this, I was taken aback.
"You mean Uncle went to find Cheng Hao that afternoon?"
Mom nodded.
"Yes, Your Uncle said he went to confront Cheng Hao, but ended up getting beaten up."
"As for why they fought, Your Uncle never mentioned it."
I suddenly remembered that on the day of the incident, after receiving Uncle's call, Mom hurriedly left, only saying she was going to find Cheng Hao to get to the bottom of things.
But when Mom arrived at the orchard, she only saw Ma Guilan.
So, Uncle must have been with Cheng Hao at that time.
What exactly happened between Uncle and Cheng Hao?
Why was Uncle unwilling to talk about it?
