The fragrance of medicine fills the countryside in 1990

Chapter 23 The truth is, it turns out to be him/her

Chen Tuhe squatted beside the swamp with his head lowered, as if thinking about something.

His face was cold and deep, as if he was hiding some secret.

He held a piece of straw in his mouth, which swayed gently with his breathing, making a slight rustling sound.

The moonlight shone through the clouds onto his body, illuminating his wrinkled face, making him look even older and more mysterious.

Zhang Linyuan hid behind Chen Tuhe, not daring to take a deep breath.

He pressed closely against Chen Tuhe's back, as if this could make him feel a little safe.

The sound of his heartbeat echoed in his ears, interweaving with the chirping of insects and the sound of wind in the distance to form a tense symphony.

The police were lurking in the darkness all around, their eyes sharp and alert, always ready to deal with emergencies.

On the high ground in the swamp, Chen Tuhe stood alone, looking from a distance like a lonely sculpture.

The swamp was filled with disgusting methane gas and an indescribable stench in the air.

Zhang Linyuan couldn't help but frown. He suppressed his discomfort and stared at Chen Tuhe's back.

He knew that every moment was crucial and he had to remain highly vigilant and calm.

At this moment, Chen Tuhe suddenly raised his head, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he had seen through all the secrets.

At ten o'clock, the sky darkened slightly, and the lights on both sides of the street gradually lit up, illuminating the wasteland.

There was an indescribable excitement on Chen Tuhe's face, and he suddenly burst into laughter. The laughter echoed over the empty swamp, sounding particularly harsh.

He rushed towards Zhang Linyuan, grabbed Zhang Linyuan's collar tightly with both hands, and his eyes flashed with anger and determination.

"Police! I want to call the police! The mastermind behind this is Zhang Lin Yuan!" Chen Tuhe's voice trembled with anger, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of his heart.

His eyes were fixed on Zhang Linyuan.

Zhang Linyuan was shocked by Chen Tuhe's actions, and his face turned pale in an instant.

"You're talking nonsense! You brought us here just to play tricks on us!? You bastard!" Zhang Linyuan's voice was filled with anger and unwillingness. He clenched his fists, ready to fight back at any time.

His eyes were fixed on Chen Tuhe, as if warning him not to talk nonsense anymore.

Chen Tuhe suddenly threw away the bitten straw in his mouth. The expression on his face flickered in the dim moonlight, like a poisonous snake lurking in the shadows.

His laughter was strangely desolate, like an echo from the depths of hell. "Hahaha, Zhang Linyuan, what are you talking about in your sleep? Aren't you the mastermind behind this? You used power and interests as bait to convince me to take the blame for you! Although I, Chen Tuhe, am a small figure, I also have my principles and bottom line. As my boss, you control every aspect of my life, from three meals a day to clothing, housing and transportation. I rely on you for everything. Tell me, if I don't listen to you, who else can I listen to?"

His words were filled with grief, anger and determination, as if a volcano that had been suppressed for a long time was about to erupt.

Chen Tuhe's eyes flashed with anger, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth. "But now, I regret it! I quit! Zhang Linyuan, you are the real bastard! You used me, betrayed me, and tried to frame me. Do you think I will be as shameless as you? No, I won't!"

His voice echoed in the night sky, every word full of power.

His eyes were firm and resolute, and he was ready to face all the consequences.

Zhang Linyuan's face was as gloomy as if a dark cloud was pressing down on him. He stared at Chen Tuhe, with an indescribable anger welling up in his heart.

He never dreamed that the person whom he once regarded as a brother would bite him back at this time.

He clenched his fists, and the muscles on his arms bulged like small hills. He punched hard, and the air was torn apart by this punch, making a dull sound of breaking wind.

A trace of fear flashed across Chen Tuhe's face, but he gritted his teeth and took the punch.

Blood slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth, staining his already pale lips red.

However, Chen Tuhe was not angry about this. Instead, a strange smile appeared on his lips. "You hit me! Why? Zhang Linyuan, you are the most disgusting person. Xiao Cui will suffer for the rest of her life if she follows you. She will hate me for the rest of her life. Su Chenjin from the Su family was originally my childhood sweetheart, but you snatched her away. Hahahaha, now she can't marry anyone!"

Amid the surprised gazes of the crowd, as soon as Chen Tuhe finished speaking, Su Chenjin quickly stepped forward. Her movements were decisive and swift.

Her palm drew a sharp arc in the air and finally fell heavily on Chen Tuhe's face, making a crisp sound.

"So, all my arguments are correct. You, Chen Tuhe, are the suspect!" Su Chenjin's voice was firm and powerful, and her eyes were like two sharp swords, piercing Chen Tuhe's heart.

Chen Tuhe's smile froze in an instant, and his face became distorted and hideous.

He laughed wildly, his laughter full of sarcasm and disdain.

"I have an alibi. All suspicions point to Zhang Linyuan. You say I am a suspect. Are you hallucinating?" His voice was sharp and harsh, trying to tear apart all doubts.

Chen Tuhe's laughter became more and more crazy, and there was an almost insane light flashing in his eyes.

He stared at Su Chenjin closely, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth: "Su Chenjin, you are a brainless woman. Zhang Linyuan broke off the engagement with you, and you are still waiting until this late to help him. I feel sick to my teeth when I call you a saint!"

His eyes were full of malice and ridicule, trying to break Su Chenjin's tenacity and courage. However, Su Chenjin stood still, her eyes firm and calm, as if she was looking at a clown.

"Justice may be late, but it will not be absent! Chen Tuhe, you trick everyone, which just shows that you are at the end of your rope!" Su Chenjin's words were sonorous and powerful, as if every word and sentence hit the heart of everyone present

"Don't talk nonsense. What evidence do you have? Su Chenjin, don't think you're great just because you're a college student. In the village, you're not even as good as a woman who can give birth to a baby!" Chen Tuhe's words were full of provocation and threats, but there was a hint of trembling in his voice.

Su Chenjin smiled instead of getting angry. She shook her head gently and said, "This has nothing to do with this case. You reserve the right to explain yourself, but all your words will be used as evidence in court!"

Su Chenjin slowly took out a delicate little box from his dark arms. It was a very fashionable tape recorder at the time.
Its smooth metal shell gleamed coldly in the dim moonlight.

She gently pressed the play button, and Chen Tuhe's voice immediately echoed over the empty swamp: "So what if you know it was me? You have no evidence! Without evidence to point to me, you can't touch me!"

A sneer appeared on Su Chenjin's lips, and her eyes were as sharp and cold as the wind on a winter night.

She stared at Chen Tuhe, her tone calm but full of power: "So, I have been watching you act for a long time, Chen Tuhe. Don't you feel embarrassed?"

Chen Tuhe's face turned pale in an instant at the sound of the recorder, and panic and fear flashed in his eyes.

He tried to escape, but in this swamp, he was surrounded by the police like an iron barrel, and he didn't even have a chance to react.

He looked at Su Chenjin, his eyes filled with despair and unwillingness.

Su Chenjin looked at him coldly, without a trace of sympathy in her eyes. She said, "This is your end!"

Zhang Linyuan took a deep breath, the surprise in his eyes was like a meteor in the night sky, breaking through the quiet darkness.

He had never thought that a woman like Su Chenjin, who seemed as gentle as water, could have such a sharp trick up her sleeve.

His eyes wandered over her, as if he was appreciating a complex painting, where every stroke and every line was full of meaning.
