Osmanthus Village is surrounded by mountains on all sides, presenting a square depression with the main back mountain being quite high and a large range of mountains extending behind it.
The village is planted with many osmanthus trees, and this season is just when the osmanthus is about to bloom, with clusters of white blossoms floating among the twigs and leaves, close to the courtyards of every household.
The bushes are not tall, and they are planted quite regularly, so standing on the hillside, one can almost take in the whole village at a glance.
The houses are neat, the pathways crisscrossing.
Xu Shuo likes such high vantage points.
The village chief gestured beside him, "That first house at the foot of the mountain is the Old Li family's. Since it's close by, it would have been no problem for the killer to murder someone and then directly come over to your side by climbing through the window."
