Chapter 1954 The Complicated Relationship 15 Years Ago 【Two Chapters in One】
It seems that Zhao Junbo has not recovered from this state, or it is Gu Chen who brought Zhao Junbo's thoughts back to decades ago.
In fact, Zhao Junbo has always wanted to forget that sad past. Ever since Zhao Junbo left the Haitian Welfare Institute, he has been refusing to go back to visit the old director. It is not difficult to find that Zhao Junbo is actually extremely inferior.
But in the past few decades like this, Zhao Junbo now has a good life, and everything seems to be getting better and better.
Zhao Junbo is now in charge of everything in Ouhuang Furniture Factory. Although the market is not as good as before, at least it is not too bad.
I also transformed from a small apprentice in a furniture factory back then to become the godson of the boss and even the actual controller of the factory.
But all of this seemed to be brought back to the past by Gu Chen's question, and Zhao Junbo almost didn't even come out.
But facing Gu Chen's sharp question, Zhao Junbo stared blankly, only then realized that his emotions seemed to be unable to get out.
"Zhao Junbo, I want to ask you something." Seeing that Zhao Junbo was stunned on the spot at the moment, Lu Weiwei hurriedly reminded him.
"me……"
Zhao Junbo was on the verge of speaking, but he couldn't speak.
"Answer me." Gu Chen continued to remind.
Zhao Junbo nodded slowly: "Yes... Yes, if you say no, it's obviously a bit hypocritical, isn't it?"
Originally, Gu Chen thought that Zhao Junbo would refute, but unexpectedly, Zhao Junbo took the initiative to admit that he did have the idea of killing Zhao Xiaobin at that time.
So Gu Chen asked again: "Then what were your thoughts at that time?"
"Facing Zhao Xiaobin's aggression, the blood on my head, and the slap mark on my face, at that moment, I indeed remembered the various bullying that my brother did to me when I was adopted by the second family."
"I... I almost didn't even get out of the situation at that time."
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Junbo raised his head and said, "At that moment, I really wanted to rush up and punch him, and I wanted to tell him that I'm not easy to mess with."
"However, thinking about everything I have now, I still gave up this idea."
"After all, my godfather has deep affection for me. He is a good man. I want to help him run the Ouhuang Furniture Factory well. I must not think that Zhao Xiaobin is causing trouble and cause conflicts again."
"I know that I made a mistake once, and I don't want to make a second mistake on the same issue."
"If I was impulsive at the time, then I could be quick for a while, but it is very likely that I will repeat the same mistakes and lose the trust of my godfather again."
Looking around, Zhao Junbo shook his head helplessly: "Those things I experienced at the beginning are beyond your imagination. I don't want to repeat the same mistakes, really."
"So, at that moment, rationality allowed me to restrain my inner anger, and I chose to receive treatment instead of pursuing it."
"But later, Zhao Xiaobin was also driven away by my godfather, and there has been no news of him since."
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Junbo also hypothetically said: "I have been thinking, if my birth can be better, if I am not an orphan, and I have a good family and good parents, then Zhao Xiaobin will still be like that to me?"
"There are no ifs in life." Xu Feng shook his head and said comfortingly:
"There are some things that you cannot control, such as driving. Even if you are a veteran driver who has not had an accident for ten years, you cannot avoid being rear-ended by other illegal drivers. This is not something you can control."
"Maybe." Zhao Junbo also acquiesced to Xu Feng's words, and said to Gu Chen, "Officer Gu, if I had the urge to kill Zhao Xiaobin at that time, I would tell you, yes."
"But that was just my angry thought at the time, and the thought doesn't represent it, and I will do it."
"Later, when Zhao Xiaobin disappeared, and seeing the pained expression on my godfather, I didn't feel so entangled."
"For so many years, I have been helping my godfather to find Zhao Xiaobin's whereabouts, and even accompanied him to travel all over the world to find him. I have done everything a godson should do."
Seeing that Zhao Junbo's words were impeccable, Gu Chen even felt a kind of good quality from Zhao Junbo's words.
It is also seen that Zhao Junbo can't ask too many flaws here, but Zhao Changlin outside is still waiting in the car.
Gu Chen turned the pen with his right hand and nodded silently: "You can go."
"Thank you." Zhao Junbo thanked him, getting up and leaving.
But when he walked to the door and opened the door, Zhao Junbo turned his head and said, "Officer Gu, thank you for reminding me of those things back then. If I have time, I will go to Haitian Welfare Institute to visit Dean Liu."
"That's good." Gu Chen still nodded slightly.
Afterwards, Zhao Junbo turned and left, closing the door gently.
Not long after, Gu Chen heard a roar in the parking lot of the compound outside, and the vehicle drove away from the Wangchao Town Police Station.
Lu Weiwei, who stood by the window and watched the car go away silently, also turned her head and asked Gu Chen: "Junior Brother Gu, is there really nothing wrong with this Zhao Junbo?"
"Perhaps? But his answer is indeed watertight. If it is said that all this is his true feelings, then this Zhao Junbo is not bad."
"But if his heart is strong enough, and he has already understood this situation, then we really can't do anything to him without sufficient evidence." Gu Chen said.
"Hey, if Zhao Xiaobin was really killed by this Zhao Junbo, he can still act as if nothing happened and argue with our police here. It can only show that Zhao Junbo's heart is really strong enough." Lu Weiwei also felt that This Zhao Junbo is getting more and more interesting.
Police officer Wang couldn't help but sighed: "The more powerful a person is, the more terrifying he is, because his heart is strong enough, it is difficult for you to see the flaws during the interrogation process."
"So, in the face of this kind of person, he is often more difficult to deal with than ordinary suspects."
"That's right." Hearing what Police Officer Wang said, Yuan Shasha on the side also expressed her opinion: "In my opinion, this may have something to do with Zhao Junbo's growing up experience?"
"After all, this kind of experience is not something that any one of us can experience."
"The heart is strong, and that is also the result of thousands of tempers."
"Ugh!"
After hearing Yuan Shasha's remarks, Zhang Wenxia also sighed.
Gu Chen looked at Zhang Wenxia and asked her, "Senior Sister Zhang, what are you sighing for?"
"This Zhao Junbo is a nice guy. He is in Wangchao Town and has a good reputation. I really don't understand. How could he be a murderer? If so, then maybe I was wrong."
From an emotional level, Zhang Wenxia, who was somewhat familiar with Zhao Junbo, naturally did not want to believe Gu Chen's reasoning.
It's like, a certain neighbor around you has always had a good relationship.
But suddenly one day, someone told you that he may be related to a murder case many years ago, you must be somewhat repelled.
Even if this is true, emotionally, it is somewhat unacceptable.
Gu Chen smiled lightly, and also explained: "Senior Sister Zhang has no problem with her thoughts, but we can't act emotionally."
"For example, Zhao Junbo, he gives me the feeling that he is too perfect."
"Too perfect?" Zhang Wenxia was stunned.
Gu Chen also nodded silently, and said: "You should know that Zhao Junbo had two failed adoption experiences when he was a child."
"One was beaten for a long time by violent adoptive parents, and the other was because of bullying by the elder brother in the adoptive parents' family, which disfigured the elder brother's face."
"This extreme experience also made Zhao Junbo extremely cold-blooded, even when he left Haitian Orphanage."
"And as the director of Haitian Welfare Institute, Liu Shufen watched Zhao Junbo grow up, so she naturally knows Zhao Junbo's character better than anyone else."
"In Liu Shufen's opinion, when Zhao Junbo left the Haitian Welfare Institute, he was already a cold-blooded and heartless person."
"If you say that people who don't know Zhao Junbo outside may feel that Zhao Junbo's character is eye-catching, but what kind of person is the real Zhao Junbo? I think that Dean Liu, who has raised Zhao Junbo for so many years, is the most have a say."
"That's right." Hearing what Gu Chen said, Lu Weiwei nodded again and again, and said involuntarily, "If Zhao Junbo was a cold-blooded and ruthless person before, and he would have revenge."
"So, now that he has suddenly turned into a perfect character, could this be an act? Or is he covering up something?"
"After all, he's been abandoned several times, from birth, first and second adoption, and again."
"If this is the case, then he must be very eager to have a good family, and the appearance of Zhao Changlin undoubtedly filled the gap in Zhao Junbo's thinking."
"Under the circumstances, he is unlikely to give up this opportunity, so..."
"So Zhao Junbo's strong heart is something he has experienced in society. It's not like we haven't seen such things as pretending to be people." Police Officer Wang drank a glass of water, and then said:
"Just take a few days ago. Didn't there be news that a married female model was dating 18 men at the same time? She also cheated these men for more than 200 million yuan. One of her boyfriends, even for her, sold only housing."
After a pause, Officer Wang said again: "So, we usually have to keep our eyes open. Some things seem to be so, but what is the real situation? It may be another explanation."
"Old Wang, maybe you are right." Lu Weiwei also nodded silently, agreeing with this statement.
The investigation continues.
Because Zhao Guozhi also communicated with Qin Gang in time based on the information provided by Gu Chen and others.
Therefore, we began to actively cooperate with the Hubei Provincial Police. After receiving the clues provided by the Jiangnan City Police, the Hubei Provincial Police immediately launched an investigation.
On the other side, at the Technical Section of the Municipal Bureau, Liu Forensic and Gao Chuanfeng's team were also conducting multiple inspections on the bones.
And start matching based on the collected DNA samples.
It can be said that if the identity of the deceased could be determined that year, perhaps this kind of test should have been carried out in that year.
However, due to too many uncontrollable factors, a lot of work cannot be carried out.
And now, is the corpse the wandering entertainer?Or, is it the long-lost Zhao Xiaobin?Everyone is waiting for the result.
……
……
7 pm.
Wangchao Town Police Station Director's Office.
While everyone was still anxiously waiting for the result, Gu Chen's cell phone rang suddenly.
Seeing that the caller was Forensic Liu, Gu Chen hurriedly swiped the answer button, clicked on speakerphone and said, "Forensic Liu, how about the test?"
"Gu Chen, the result has come out, you really guessed it right." Facing Gu Chen's question, Liu Forensic also smiled faintly, with a hint of fatigue in his tone.
Gu Chen also hurriedly asked: "So... what was the result?"
"The result is that the DNA sample of this bone highly matches the DNA sample extracted from Zhao Changlin. This may be Zhao Xiaobin, the son of Zhao Changlin who has been missing for 15 years." Forensic doctor Liu said.
"It's really Zhao Xiaobin?" Hearing the news, Police Officer Wang was also stunned, and began to stutter: "This... this is really unbelievable? How...how did this happen?"
Lu Weiwei was also dumbfounded and said, "Could it be that Zhao Xiaobin was the victim who was burned to death in the fire? And that wandering artist, maybe he's still alive?"
While Lu Weiwei was thinking, she hurriedly said:
"However, according to those who participated in the firefighting, the wreckage of the erhu was burned beside the deceased, and the clothes worn by the deceased were obviously the clothes of the wandering artist. Many people can testify to this."
The scene was suddenly quiet for a few seconds, and then Xu Feng expressed his opinion: "Perhaps, someone was really cheating."
"Liu Fayi." Gu Chen calmed down for a short while, and then hurriedly asked, "From these bones, have you found anything else?"
"Yes." Seeing Gu Chen's question, Forensic Doctor Liu quickly replied: "We checked the skull and found that there are some cracks in the back of the skull."
"The fire that year caused the body to be scorched, but we did not check these subtle parts carefully. This is our dereliction of duty."
Faced with the self-blame of Forensic Doctor Liu on the phone, Gu Chen also looked back at Xu Feng, the director.
Xu Feng shook his head: "15 years ago, I didn't care about this matter, did I?"
"Then who was in charge of examining the corpses back then?" Gu Chen was not afraid of offending Forensic Doctor Liu, so he questioned it directly.
Forensic Liu said in a calm manner: "I went through the relevant information booklets and found that the corpses of that year were indeed inspected, but they were not careful and general. Another colleague was responsible."
"However, this colleague stopped practicing medicine later, and went to run a business with a friend."
"I see." Gu Chen nodded silently, and said with some regret: "If this senior forensic doctor could have done the autopsy more carefully, maybe there won't be so many problems."
"But after all, 15 years have passed, and it was already a charred corpse at that time, so that senior forensic doctor might not have thought of these things."
"Hmm." Seeing that Gu Chen saved some face for the forensic department, forensic doctor Liu also said by default:
"Indeed, the detection equipment back then was not as advanced as it is now, and the corpse at that time was a charred corpse, so the forensic doctor didn't pay too much attention to it."
"Only now, what is placed on our inspection table is a skeleton, which makes our inspection more convenient, so we can find some subtle clues from the parts of the skull."
With a long sigh, Forensic Doctor Liu on the phone said again: "It can be said that if it was at that time, we might not have been able to discover this suspicious point in time, and we just took advantage of it."
"Hmm." Knowing that forensic doctor Liu was also protecting the face of the forensic team, Gu Chen certainly didn't want to pursue these things, so he just said lightly:
"In that case, there is a high possibility that the deceased is Zhao Xiaobin. It is even certain that this is Zhao Xiaobin's body."
"Moreover, the skull showed signs of being hit, and it was hit from behind. This shows that Zhao Xiaobin may have been attacked from behind by someone back then, and he may have died on the spot."
"After that, the murderer exchanged clothes with Zhao Xiaobin and the wandering entertainer, and left the erhu at the scene."
"A fire burned down the warehouse of the sponge factory back then, and that's how the tragedy happened."
"But where are the wandering artists?" Yuan Shasha said.
"Maybe he was killed by the deceased, or maybe he continued to live in another place with another identity." Lu Weiwei said.
Zhang Wenxia nodded silently: "I also feel that Zhao Xiaobin's death may be inseparably related to that wandering artist, or may also be related to that wandering artist."
"The vagabond artist may also be the murderer who participated in the murder of Zhao Xiaobin."
"Oh." Hearing everyone's different opinions, the director Xu Feng also patted his head, and said helplessly:
"I didn't expect that 15 years ago in Wangchao Town, there was still such an unsolved case that was ignored? But if the deceased Zhao Xiaobin was hit on the head and died, then the fire was obviously the destruction of the body after the swindle. .”
Thinking of this, Xu Feng couldn't help but gasped, feeling that things were getting more and more complicated.
And Forensic Doctor Liu on the other end of the phone also said slowly: "Gu Chen, this is the result of the investigation. Later, I will ask Gao Chuanfeng to send the test report to your mobile phone. Remember to check it."
"Understood." Hearing Fayi Liu's words, Gu Chen was also grateful and said: "Then trouble Liu Fayi."
"Haha, no trouble." Liu Fayi laughed dryly, and replied lightly:
"I heard that Director Zhao issued a military order to investigate the mysterious person in Wangchao Town, but now your investigation has accidentally uncovered the unsolved case that happened in Wangchao Town 15 years ago. It seems that you are busy. "
"What should come will always come, and I will definitely find out the murderer." Gu Chen also expressed his attitude to Forensic Doctor Liu.
Liu Fayi snorted twice, and replied affirmatively: "I believe in you, and our technical department will fully cooperate with you."
It was also after a brief communication with Liu Forensic Doctor that they both hung up the phone.
Officer Wang looked at Gu Chen and said, "What should we do now? Should we notify Zhao Changlin?"
"Don't do it first, just take it easy." Gu Chen felt that there were some things that he didn't seem to be in a hurry.
He looked back at everyone, and then said again: "I want to know now, how is the investigation by the police in Hubei Province?"
"After all, now we know that the body buried on the mountain is not the wandering artist from Hubei Province, but Zhao Xiaobin, the son of Zhao Changlin."
"However, Zhao Xiaobin's body was secretly transferred recently. Obviously, the murderer may have felt some danger."
"So I want to transfer the bones, and I don't want our police to know, but there is one more thing I don't know."
"What is it?" Lu Weiwei asked curiously.
Gu Chen looked up at Lu Weiwei, and thoughtfully said: "That is, before we came to Wangchao Town, this Yuan Jialiang was already sneaking around on the mountain, what was he doing?"
"If it is said that he is the one who left us the ghost head mark, then he obviously knows who is inside the coffin? That also means that in fact, this Yuan Jialiang is also very clear about the cause of the fire that year, and even he Maybe even participated in it personally.”
"However, the killing of Yuan Jialiang was obviously done by another murderer, and the purpose of this murderer's murder of Yuan Jialiang may also be very clear, which is to cover up the truth for the past 15 years."
"But Yuan Jialiang left a mark on the coffin, and even left ghost-headed bamboo pieces at the place where Zhao Xiaobin's bones were buried."
"And all of this is based on the comic plot of Master Xiao's daughter."
Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen said again: "Obviously, he did all this to tell us the truth about the police."
"But under pressure, he is not easy to say clearly, so he can only use this kind of hint."
"But why did he get involved? I think it has a lot to do with Master Xiao's daughter, especially the death of Master Xiao's daughter, which makes me feel that it's not that simple."
"That's why we need to find out as soon as possible what the relationship between this Yuan Jialiang and Master Xiao's daughter is." Officer Wang said, waving his arms.
Everyone nodded silently and agreed.
Lu Weiwei urged: "Old Wang, you call Zhao Bureau and see if Zhao Bureau can urge the police on the other side of Hubei Province. After all, we are in a hurry here."
"Don't worry." Without further urging from Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang took out his mobile phone and started calling Zhao Guozhi.
As soon as the call was connected, Officer Wang said with a smile on his face, "Bureau Zhao, the police in Hubei province, do you have any news? We have made new progress here."
"Is it the result of the body test?" Zhao Guozhi said.
"How do you know, Director Zhao? I'm just about to report to you." Seeing that Zhao Guozhi already knew about the autopsy, Police Officer Wang stared blankly, feeling like he was wasting his expression.
Zhao Guozhi replied indifferently: "Forensic doctor Liu of the technical department of the Municipal Bureau, after calling Gu Chen just now, he directly called me again."
"After all, I also need to know the specifics of this case."
"So that's the case?" Police Officer Wang, who had figured out the situation, immediately asked again: "But, the E Provincial Police, do you have any explanation?"
After the voice fell, there was a brief pause on the phone for a few seconds.
And Police Officer Wang didn't dare to urge him.
It was also after a brief silence of five or six seconds that Zhao Guozhi said again: "Well, let me give you a call. The call is the police from Hubei Province who are responsible for assisting in handling our case. They are responsible for on-site investigation. This person is principal."
"If you want to know something? Call him directly and ask about the situation."
"Okay." Seeing that Zhao Guozhi was not very clear about the specific situation, but he gave the phone number of the front-line police officer from the Hubei Provincial Police, Police Officer Wang was still very satisfied.
After hanging up the phone, Officer Wang immediately received Zhao Guozhi's message.
Lu Weiwei came over to take a look, and hurriedly said, "If you have a phone number, then call and ask."
"Don't worry." Officer Wang didn't hesitate, and immediately dialed the phone number in the message.
Not long after, the phone was connected suddenly, almost without pause.
"Hello." A middle-aged man asked on the phone.
"Excuse me, are you... Hu Zhe... Officer Hu?" Officer Wang asked.
"That's right, you are?" Hu Zhe asked on the phone.
"Oh, I'm Old Wang from the Criminal Investigation Team of the Furong Branch of Jiangnan City. We are handling that case here. We need the cooperation of the police from Hubei Province..."
"Oh." Officer Wang said halfway, and Officer Hu on the other end of the phone quickly replied:
"I know, we are also helping you with field investigations. It just so happened that I found a female classmate of that cartoonist here. She seems to be familiar with this cartoonist and that Yuan Jialiang."
"Really?" Upon hearing the good news, Police Officer Wang became excited, and hurriedly asked:
"Then...can you let her communicate with us?"
"Of course it is possible." Hu Zhe was also unambiguous, and explained directly: "I was planning to get in touch with the Jiangnan City police, but your call just happened to come."
"Why don't we add a friend, how about I make a video call and let her communicate with you face to face? After all, you have a lot of details, what clues do you need? I don't know very well."
"Great, of course it's possible." Officer Wang said.
"That's fine, then I'll hang up first and call back later." Hu Zhe said.
Also after a brief communication between the two, Officer Wang hung up the phone, but soon received a friend invitation from Hu Zhe.
After police officer Wang decisively added Hu Zhe as a friend, he quickly made a video call.
Officer Wang put the mobile phone in front of the desk and clicked to connect.
And Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Yuan Shasha, Xu Feng and Zhang Wenxia immediately surrounded Police Officer Wang.
"Hi, I'm Lao Wang." Officer Wang waved his hand to the video phone, and also reported his family name: "I'm the deputy captain of the criminal investigation team of Furong Branch of Jiangnan City, and this is our captain Gu Chen."
Officer Wang pulled Gu Chen to his side.
During the video call, a third-level police inspector rubbed his eyes and said in disbelief, "Old Wang, your captain is so young."
"Haha, yes, he is also very good. He is the star policeman of our Furong branch." Faced with the curiosity of Hu Zhe, a police officer in Hubei Province, Officer Wang couldn't help boasting.
But Gu Chen was very modest, and went straight to the point: "Hello, Brother Hu, I'm Gu Chen, you said that you have helped us contact the female classmate of the cartoonist Xiao Mengqi, right?"
"Yes." Hu Zhe on the other end of the video call said.
"Then where is she now?" Gu Chen asked again.
"It's right next to me." While speaking, Hu Zhe directly gave up his position, placed the phone camera upright, and aimed at a middle-aged woman in front of him.
And the slightly fat middle-aged woman faced the camera nervously, waved her hand and said, "Hello."
"Hello, what's your name?" Gu Chen turned on the body camera, faced the video call, and started recording.
"My name is Yao Xue, and I'm Xiao Mengqi's college classmate." Yao Xue said.
"Can you report your ID card?" Gu Chen asked with a notebook.
"Yes, my ID number is..."
According to Gu Chen's request, Yao Xue, who is in Hubei Province, quickly informed Gu Chen of her identity information.
After Gu Chen completed the registration, he asked again: "How was Xiao Mengqi related to you back then?"
"Very good, we are roommates." Yao Xue said.
"Roommate? That relationship must be very good." Lu Weiwei said on the side.
"Yes." Yao Xue nodded silently, and said involuntarily: "Back then, Xiao Mengqi's bed was next door to mine. We were classmates and roommates, and we had a good relationship."
"Do you know about Xiao Mengqi committing suicide by jumping into the river?" Gu Chen asked.
"You know, back then, I was planning to come to Xiao Mengqi's hometown to attend her funeral, but because of a car accident, I broke my foot, so I missed her funeral."
Taking a deep breath, Yao Xue seemed a little sad.
So Gu Chen hurriedly asked again: "Then what kind of person do you think Xiao Mengqi was back then?"
"Xiao Mengqi? She...is very beautiful. When she was in school, many people chased her."
"She has a boyfriend, doesn't she?" Officer Wang asked.
"Yes, but, I heard that they broke up because of Xiao Mengqi's father's objection, so Xiao Mengqi's boyfriend was with other women again. Xiao Mengqi's heart was hit, so she couldn't think about it, so she jumped into the river and committed suicide."
"Is that true?" Gu Chen felt that there was something tricky about it, or that there were some situations that Gu Chen hadn't grasped, so he asked one more question.
But Yao Xue in the video call nodded silently: "Is it almost like this?"
"After all, although Xiao Mengqi is very beautiful, she is also very timid. Facing the pursuit of many boys in the school, she almost rejects them all."
"However, her boyfriend is not from their school, but a student from another university on our side."
"I met because of a football league in various colleges and universities. Xiao Mengqi felt that the boy was very good. After thinking about it, I stayed with him until I graduated from college."
"That's the one later, right?" Gu Chen said.
"Yes, Xiao Mengqi has only dated one boy, and that's him." Yao Xue said.
"What about Yuan Jialiang? Who is he?" Gu Chen immediately focused his investigation on Yuan Jialiang.
"Yuan Jialiang?" Yao Xue thought about it for a few seconds, and then said: "Yuan Jialiang is from the same school as us, in the class next to ours, and he is also one of Xiao Mengqi's many suitors."
"Back then, we had military training together, went to the cafeteria to eat together, went to see the stars and the moon together at night, and traveled together."
"In short, as long as we girls have group activities, then Yuan Jialiang will definitely go. Over time, everyone will regard him as a follower."
"Follower?" Lu Weiwei hesitated for a moment, but also hurriedly asked: "Then what was Xiao Mengqi's reaction at that time?"
"What's the reaction?" Yao Xue raised her head to think, and said slowly, "How can Xiao Mengqi react? Although Yuan Jialiang is very good, Yuan Jialiang is not Xiao Mengqi's favorite type."
"Yuan Jialiang is very talented in all aspects. However, Xiao Mengqi is a face-controller. Her boyfriend is handsome and very popular with girls. In their school, he is also a proper school girl."
"It's also because of this that Xiao Mengqi is with her boyfriend. It's just a pity that they both like each other, but because Xiao Mengqi's father stopped them, the two had to separate in the end."
Speaking of this, Yao Xue also said with regret: "Because I am a local from Hubei Province, and Xiao Mengqi's boyfriend is also studying and working here."
"So, he has always wanted to stay in his hometown and develop."
"Later, after graduation, I met Xiao Mengqi's boyfriend on our side, so I had a meal with him and asked him about Xiao Mengqi's situation."
"It was at that time that I discovered that Xiao Mengqi's father had always opposed her staying in Hubei Province, and her boyfriend refused to compromise. The two of them were just wasting away."
"In the end, his boyfriend finally couldn't bear this state and chose to break up on his own initiative. The two of them also started at that time and had no contact with each other."
"Then... what is Yuan Jialiang doing at this time?" Gu Chen asked.
Yao Xue scratched her cheeks, looked at Gu Chen and said, "I don't know Yuan Jialiang at this time, anyway, I know that in school, even though he knew that he was not Xiao Mengqi's favorite type, he would still follow Xiao Mengqi's side, Become Xiao Mengqi's follower."
"It's also because Yuan Jialiang is a righteous person, so everyone has a good relationship, and he is very good at pleasing girls, and he also belongs to the type of heartless."
"Although Xiao Mengqi doesn't like Yuan Jialiang, she doesn't reject him. In school, Yuan Jialiang even fought with other boys for Xiao Mengqi."
Speaking of this, Yao Xue also took a deep breath and said: "To be honest, we were all optimistic about Yuan Jialiang at the time, and even told Xiao Mengqi that although your boyfriend is handsome, his family conditions are very average."
"Besides, there are many women who like him, so I might give you a hat. After all, we know Yuan Jialiang well, but we don't know much about Xiao Mengqi's boyfriend from another school."
"However, I heard that there are many girls chasing after him in their school. I just feel that it is quite unreliable."
"Then, the girls in our dormitory even matched up with Xiao Mengqi, maybe because rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests? It's because they were too familiar with each other before, so Xiao Mengqi has always regarded Yuan Jialiang as a buddy."
Gu Chen nodded silently, recorded these, and asked, "Where will Yuan Jialiang go to develop after graduation? Do you know?"
"This one……"
Also made a little dizzy by Gu Chen's question, Yao Xue began to think again.
After a while, she raised her head and said, "I heard that he seems to have gone to your Jiangnan City to develop."
"Because Xiao Mengqi is in Jiangnan City, but her boyfriend is developing in Hubei Province."
"Furthermore, Yuan Jialiang also learned from us that Xiao Mengqi and her boyfriend, because of Xiao Mengqi's father's objection, have not been able to be together. It is a long-distance relationship."
"Of course, Xiao Mengqi's father objected to Xiao Mengqi's development in Hubei Province. If her boyfriend had been more determined and went to Jiangnan City with Xiao Mengqi, maybe the two of them would have become."
Taking a deep breath, Yao Xue was also quite helpless: "However, in this world, there are so many things that are logical, and the relationship after graduation will be somewhat bumpy."
"Xiao Mengqi's boyfriend didn't want to leave Hubei Province, but Yuan Jialiang was willing. After learning about the situation, he decisively resigned from his job in Hubei Province and came directly to Jiangnan City to develop."
After a pause, Yao Xue said again: "Everybody with a discerning eye knows this, right? He Yuan Jialiang came to Jiangnan City to develop, and it must be for Xiao Mengqi."
"If Xiao Mengqi breaks up with her boyfriend, she might end up with Yuan Jialiang."
"You mean... After Yuan Jialiang graduated, he has been developing in Jiangnan City, right?" Gu Chen also continued to confirm based on the information provided by Yao Xue.
"Yes." Yao Xue nodded to confirm.
"When exactly? When did Xiao Mengqi create which work?" Gu Chen asked again.
"It should be that little fresh work, I remember, it was Xiao Mengqi's last little fresh work, and it was finishing work at that time."
"Not long after that, that work was over, and for a long time after that, Xiao Mengqi was very decadent, mainly because her boyfriend broke up."
"But at this time, Yuan Jialiang has been in Jiangnan City. As for whether he went to find Xiao Mengqi? I don't know about this, and I'm not by Xiao Mengqi's side either."
"But what is certain is that Yuan Jialiang feels that this should be an opportunity. Maybe the two will meet often?"
"As for other aspects, I really don't know."
Yao Xue provided Gu Chen's team with many valuable clues at one time, and finally let Gu Chen know that Yuan Jialiang had always had hope for Xiao Mengqi.
Also really wanted to be with Xiao Mengqi, but what was the result?Gu Chen doesn't seem to be very clear, maybe Xiao Mengqi's father, Master Xiao, can understand something.
However, Master Xiao did not seem to provide these information.
Gu Chen took a deep breath, and then asked Yao Xue again: "Yao Xue, so Yuan Jialiang came to Jiangnan City to develop for Xiao Mengqi. After Xiao Mengqi committed suicide by jumping into the river, where was he? Did he attend Xiao Mengqi's funeral? "
"This one……"
Feeling that Gu Chen was embarrassing herself, Yao Xue also shook her head in embarrassment, and said helplessly: "Officer Gu, you are embarrassing me, and I don't know much about Xiao Mengqi's situation, let alone Xiao Mengqi's psychological thoughts at that time. "
"I want to know that Xiao Mengqi became depressed because of her boyfriend's breakup, and even started to think about suicide. Then I will definitely go to her, or talk to her on the phone."
"But……"
Speaking of this, Yao Xue also sighed heavily, and shook her head helplessly: "But, Xiao Mengqi left quietly, without even the slightest warning."
"Just the day before she committed suicide by jumping into the river, we were still talking on the phone for two nights, talking and laughing and sharing our interesting stories."
"Unexpectedly, the next day, Xiao Mengqi left this world forever, and I wasn't even mentally prepared."
In the end, sad emotions came to my heart again.
Yao Xue's nose was sour, and she couldn't help wiping away her tears.

Ask for votes, with a sincere face. ╰(‵ ′)╯
(End of this chapter)
It seems that Zhao Junbo has not recovered from this state, or it is Gu Chen who brought Zhao Junbo's thoughts back to decades ago.
In fact, Zhao Junbo has always wanted to forget that sad past. Ever since Zhao Junbo left the Haitian Welfare Institute, he has been refusing to go back to visit the old director. It is not difficult to find that Zhao Junbo is actually extremely inferior.
But in the past few decades like this, Zhao Junbo now has a good life, and everything seems to be getting better and better.
Zhao Junbo is now in charge of everything in Ouhuang Furniture Factory. Although the market is not as good as before, at least it is not too bad.
I also transformed from a small apprentice in a furniture factory back then to become the godson of the boss and even the actual controller of the factory.
But all of this seemed to be brought back to the past by Gu Chen's question, and Zhao Junbo almost didn't even come out.
But facing Gu Chen's sharp question, Zhao Junbo stared blankly, only then realized that his emotions seemed to be unable to get out.
"Zhao Junbo, I want to ask you something." Seeing that Zhao Junbo was stunned on the spot at the moment, Lu Weiwei hurriedly reminded him.
"me……"
Zhao Junbo was on the verge of speaking, but he couldn't speak.
"Answer me." Gu Chen continued to remind.
Zhao Junbo nodded slowly: "Yes... Yes, if you say no, it's obviously a bit hypocritical, isn't it?"
Originally, Gu Chen thought that Zhao Junbo would refute, but unexpectedly, Zhao Junbo took the initiative to admit that he did have the idea of killing Zhao Xiaobin at that time.
So Gu Chen asked again: "Then what were your thoughts at that time?"
"Facing Zhao Xiaobin's aggression, the blood on my head, and the slap mark on my face, at that moment, I indeed remembered the various bullying that my brother did to me when I was adopted by the second family."
"I... I almost didn't even get out of the situation at that time."
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Junbo raised his head and said, "At that moment, I really wanted to rush up and punch him, and I wanted to tell him that I'm not easy to mess with."
"However, thinking about everything I have now, I still gave up this idea."
"After all, my godfather has deep affection for me. He is a good man. I want to help him run the Ouhuang Furniture Factory well. I must not think that Zhao Xiaobin is causing trouble and cause conflicts again."
"I know that I made a mistake once, and I don't want to make a second mistake on the same issue."
"If I was impulsive at the time, then I could be quick for a while, but it is very likely that I will repeat the same mistakes and lose the trust of my godfather again."
Looking around, Zhao Junbo shook his head helplessly: "Those things I experienced at the beginning are beyond your imagination. I don't want to repeat the same mistakes, really."
"So, at that moment, rationality allowed me to restrain my inner anger, and I chose to receive treatment instead of pursuing it."
"But later, Zhao Xiaobin was also driven away by my godfather, and there has been no news of him since."
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Junbo also hypothetically said: "I have been thinking, if my birth can be better, if I am not an orphan, and I have a good family and good parents, then Zhao Xiaobin will still be like that to me?"
"There are no ifs in life." Xu Feng shook his head and said comfortingly:
"There are some things that you cannot control, such as driving. Even if you are a veteran driver who has not had an accident for ten years, you cannot avoid being rear-ended by other illegal drivers. This is not something you can control."
"Maybe." Zhao Junbo also acquiesced to Xu Feng's words, and said to Gu Chen, "Officer Gu, if I had the urge to kill Zhao Xiaobin at that time, I would tell you, yes."
"But that was just my angry thought at the time, and the thought doesn't represent it, and I will do it."
"Later, when Zhao Xiaobin disappeared, and seeing the pained expression on my godfather, I didn't feel so entangled."
"For so many years, I have been helping my godfather to find Zhao Xiaobin's whereabouts, and even accompanied him to travel all over the world to find him. I have done everything a godson should do."
Seeing that Zhao Junbo's words were impeccable, Gu Chen even felt a kind of good quality from Zhao Junbo's words.
It is also seen that Zhao Junbo can't ask too many flaws here, but Zhao Changlin outside is still waiting in the car.
Gu Chen turned the pen with his right hand and nodded silently: "You can go."
"Thank you." Zhao Junbo thanked him, getting up and leaving.
But when he walked to the door and opened the door, Zhao Junbo turned his head and said, "Officer Gu, thank you for reminding me of those things back then. If I have time, I will go to Haitian Welfare Institute to visit Dean Liu."
"That's good." Gu Chen still nodded slightly.
Afterwards, Zhao Junbo turned and left, closing the door gently.
Not long after, Gu Chen heard a roar in the parking lot of the compound outside, and the vehicle drove away from the Wangchao Town Police Station.
Lu Weiwei, who stood by the window and watched the car go away silently, also turned her head and asked Gu Chen: "Junior Brother Gu, is there really nothing wrong with this Zhao Junbo?"
"Perhaps? But his answer is indeed watertight. If it is said that all this is his true feelings, then this Zhao Junbo is not bad."
"But if his heart is strong enough, and he has already understood this situation, then we really can't do anything to him without sufficient evidence." Gu Chen said.
"Hey, if Zhao Xiaobin was really killed by this Zhao Junbo, he can still act as if nothing happened and argue with our police here. It can only show that Zhao Junbo's heart is really strong enough." Lu Weiwei also felt that This Zhao Junbo is getting more and more interesting.
Police officer Wang couldn't help but sighed: "The more powerful a person is, the more terrifying he is, because his heart is strong enough, it is difficult for you to see the flaws during the interrogation process."
"So, in the face of this kind of person, he is often more difficult to deal with than ordinary suspects."
"That's right." Hearing what Police Officer Wang said, Yuan Shasha on the side also expressed her opinion: "In my opinion, this may have something to do with Zhao Junbo's growing up experience?"
"After all, this kind of experience is not something that any one of us can experience."
"The heart is strong, and that is also the result of thousands of tempers."
"Ugh!"
After hearing Yuan Shasha's remarks, Zhang Wenxia also sighed.
Gu Chen looked at Zhang Wenxia and asked her, "Senior Sister Zhang, what are you sighing for?"
"This Zhao Junbo is a nice guy. He is in Wangchao Town and has a good reputation. I really don't understand. How could he be a murderer? If so, then maybe I was wrong."
From an emotional level, Zhang Wenxia, who was somewhat familiar with Zhao Junbo, naturally did not want to believe Gu Chen's reasoning.
It's like, a certain neighbor around you has always had a good relationship.
But suddenly one day, someone told you that he may be related to a murder case many years ago, you must be somewhat repelled.
Even if this is true, emotionally, it is somewhat unacceptable.
Gu Chen smiled lightly, and also explained: "Senior Sister Zhang has no problem with her thoughts, but we can't act emotionally."
"For example, Zhao Junbo, he gives me the feeling that he is too perfect."
"Too perfect?" Zhang Wenxia was stunned.
Gu Chen also nodded silently, and said: "You should know that Zhao Junbo had two failed adoption experiences when he was a child."
"One was beaten for a long time by violent adoptive parents, and the other was because of bullying by the elder brother in the adoptive parents' family, which disfigured the elder brother's face."
"This extreme experience also made Zhao Junbo extremely cold-blooded, even when he left Haitian Orphanage."
"And as the director of Haitian Welfare Institute, Liu Shufen watched Zhao Junbo grow up, so she naturally knows Zhao Junbo's character better than anyone else."
"In Liu Shufen's opinion, when Zhao Junbo left the Haitian Welfare Institute, he was already a cold-blooded and heartless person."
"If you say that people who don't know Zhao Junbo outside may feel that Zhao Junbo's character is eye-catching, but what kind of person is the real Zhao Junbo? I think that Dean Liu, who has raised Zhao Junbo for so many years, is the most have a say."
"That's right." Hearing what Gu Chen said, Lu Weiwei nodded again and again, and said involuntarily, "If Zhao Junbo was a cold-blooded and ruthless person before, and he would have revenge."
"So, now that he has suddenly turned into a perfect character, could this be an act? Or is he covering up something?"
"After all, he's been abandoned several times, from birth, first and second adoption, and again."
"If this is the case, then he must be very eager to have a good family, and the appearance of Zhao Changlin undoubtedly filled the gap in Zhao Junbo's thinking."
"Under the circumstances, he is unlikely to give up this opportunity, so..."
"So Zhao Junbo's strong heart is something he has experienced in society. It's not like we haven't seen such things as pretending to be people." Police Officer Wang drank a glass of water, and then said:
"Just take a few days ago. Didn't there be news that a married female model was dating 18 men at the same time? She also cheated these men for more than 200 million yuan. One of her boyfriends, even for her, sold only housing."
After a pause, Officer Wang said again: "So, we usually have to keep our eyes open. Some things seem to be so, but what is the real situation? It may be another explanation."
"Old Wang, maybe you are right." Lu Weiwei also nodded silently, agreeing with this statement.
The investigation continues.
Because Zhao Guozhi also communicated with Qin Gang in time based on the information provided by Gu Chen and others.
Therefore, we began to actively cooperate with the Hubei Provincial Police. After receiving the clues provided by the Jiangnan City Police, the Hubei Provincial Police immediately launched an investigation.
On the other side, at the Technical Section of the Municipal Bureau, Liu Forensic and Gao Chuanfeng's team were also conducting multiple inspections on the bones.
And start matching based on the collected DNA samples.
It can be said that if the identity of the deceased could be determined that year, perhaps this kind of test should have been carried out in that year.
However, due to too many uncontrollable factors, a lot of work cannot be carried out.
And now, is the corpse the wandering entertainer?Or, is it the long-lost Zhao Xiaobin?Everyone is waiting for the result.
……
……
7 pm.
Wangchao Town Police Station Director's Office.
While everyone was still anxiously waiting for the result, Gu Chen's cell phone rang suddenly.
Seeing that the caller was Forensic Liu, Gu Chen hurriedly swiped the answer button, clicked on speakerphone and said, "Forensic Liu, how about the test?"
"Gu Chen, the result has come out, you really guessed it right." Facing Gu Chen's question, Liu Forensic also smiled faintly, with a hint of fatigue in his tone.
Gu Chen also hurriedly asked: "So... what was the result?"
"The result is that the DNA sample of this bone highly matches the DNA sample extracted from Zhao Changlin. This may be Zhao Xiaobin, the son of Zhao Changlin who has been missing for 15 years." Forensic doctor Liu said.
"It's really Zhao Xiaobin?" Hearing the news, Police Officer Wang was also stunned, and began to stutter: "This... this is really unbelievable? How...how did this happen?"
Lu Weiwei was also dumbfounded and said, "Could it be that Zhao Xiaobin was the victim who was burned to death in the fire? And that wandering artist, maybe he's still alive?"
While Lu Weiwei was thinking, she hurriedly said:
"However, according to those who participated in the firefighting, the wreckage of the erhu was burned beside the deceased, and the clothes worn by the deceased were obviously the clothes of the wandering artist. Many people can testify to this."
The scene was suddenly quiet for a few seconds, and then Xu Feng expressed his opinion: "Perhaps, someone was really cheating."
"Liu Fayi." Gu Chen calmed down for a short while, and then hurriedly asked, "From these bones, have you found anything else?"
"Yes." Seeing Gu Chen's question, Forensic Doctor Liu quickly replied: "We checked the skull and found that there are some cracks in the back of the skull."
"The fire that year caused the body to be scorched, but we did not check these subtle parts carefully. This is our dereliction of duty."
Faced with the self-blame of Forensic Doctor Liu on the phone, Gu Chen also looked back at Xu Feng, the director.
Xu Feng shook his head: "15 years ago, I didn't care about this matter, did I?"
"Then who was in charge of examining the corpses back then?" Gu Chen was not afraid of offending Forensic Doctor Liu, so he questioned it directly.
Forensic Liu said in a calm manner: "I went through the relevant information booklets and found that the corpses of that year were indeed inspected, but they were not careful and general. Another colleague was responsible."
"However, this colleague stopped practicing medicine later, and went to run a business with a friend."
"I see." Gu Chen nodded silently, and said with some regret: "If this senior forensic doctor could have done the autopsy more carefully, maybe there won't be so many problems."
"But after all, 15 years have passed, and it was already a charred corpse at that time, so that senior forensic doctor might not have thought of these things."
"Hmm." Seeing that Gu Chen saved some face for the forensic department, forensic doctor Liu also said by default:
"Indeed, the detection equipment back then was not as advanced as it is now, and the corpse at that time was a charred corpse, so the forensic doctor didn't pay too much attention to it."
"Only now, what is placed on our inspection table is a skeleton, which makes our inspection more convenient, so we can find some subtle clues from the parts of the skull."
With a long sigh, Forensic Doctor Liu on the phone said again: "It can be said that if it was at that time, we might not have been able to discover this suspicious point in time, and we just took advantage of it."
"Hmm." Knowing that forensic doctor Liu was also protecting the face of the forensic team, Gu Chen certainly didn't want to pursue these things, so he just said lightly:
"In that case, there is a high possibility that the deceased is Zhao Xiaobin. It is even certain that this is Zhao Xiaobin's body."
"Moreover, the skull showed signs of being hit, and it was hit from behind. This shows that Zhao Xiaobin may have been attacked from behind by someone back then, and he may have died on the spot."
"After that, the murderer exchanged clothes with Zhao Xiaobin and the wandering entertainer, and left the erhu at the scene."
"A fire burned down the warehouse of the sponge factory back then, and that's how the tragedy happened."
"But where are the wandering artists?" Yuan Shasha said.
"Maybe he was killed by the deceased, or maybe he continued to live in another place with another identity." Lu Weiwei said.
Zhang Wenxia nodded silently: "I also feel that Zhao Xiaobin's death may be inseparably related to that wandering artist, or may also be related to that wandering artist."
"The vagabond artist may also be the murderer who participated in the murder of Zhao Xiaobin."
"Oh." Hearing everyone's different opinions, the director Xu Feng also patted his head, and said helplessly:
"I didn't expect that 15 years ago in Wangchao Town, there was still such an unsolved case that was ignored? But if the deceased Zhao Xiaobin was hit on the head and died, then the fire was obviously the destruction of the body after the swindle. .”
Thinking of this, Xu Feng couldn't help but gasped, feeling that things were getting more and more complicated.
And Forensic Doctor Liu on the other end of the phone also said slowly: "Gu Chen, this is the result of the investigation. Later, I will ask Gao Chuanfeng to send the test report to your mobile phone. Remember to check it."
"Understood." Hearing Fayi Liu's words, Gu Chen was also grateful and said: "Then trouble Liu Fayi."
"Haha, no trouble." Liu Fayi laughed dryly, and replied lightly:
"I heard that Director Zhao issued a military order to investigate the mysterious person in Wangchao Town, but now your investigation has accidentally uncovered the unsolved case that happened in Wangchao Town 15 years ago. It seems that you are busy. "
"What should come will always come, and I will definitely find out the murderer." Gu Chen also expressed his attitude to Forensic Doctor Liu.
Liu Fayi snorted twice, and replied affirmatively: "I believe in you, and our technical department will fully cooperate with you."
It was also after a brief communication with Liu Forensic Doctor that they both hung up the phone.
Officer Wang looked at Gu Chen and said, "What should we do now? Should we notify Zhao Changlin?"
"Don't do it first, just take it easy." Gu Chen felt that there were some things that he didn't seem to be in a hurry.
He looked back at everyone, and then said again: "I want to know now, how is the investigation by the police in Hubei Province?"
"After all, now we know that the body buried on the mountain is not the wandering artist from Hubei Province, but Zhao Xiaobin, the son of Zhao Changlin."
"However, Zhao Xiaobin's body was secretly transferred recently. Obviously, the murderer may have felt some danger."
"So I want to transfer the bones, and I don't want our police to know, but there is one more thing I don't know."
"What is it?" Lu Weiwei asked curiously.
Gu Chen looked up at Lu Weiwei, and thoughtfully said: "That is, before we came to Wangchao Town, this Yuan Jialiang was already sneaking around on the mountain, what was he doing?"
"If it is said that he is the one who left us the ghost head mark, then he obviously knows who is inside the coffin? That also means that in fact, this Yuan Jialiang is also very clear about the cause of the fire that year, and even he Maybe even participated in it personally.”
"However, the killing of Yuan Jialiang was obviously done by another murderer, and the purpose of this murderer's murder of Yuan Jialiang may also be very clear, which is to cover up the truth for the past 15 years."
"But Yuan Jialiang left a mark on the coffin, and even left ghost-headed bamboo pieces at the place where Zhao Xiaobin's bones were buried."
"And all of this is based on the comic plot of Master Xiao's daughter."
Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen said again: "Obviously, he did all this to tell us the truth about the police."
"But under pressure, he is not easy to say clearly, so he can only use this kind of hint."
"But why did he get involved? I think it has a lot to do with Master Xiao's daughter, especially the death of Master Xiao's daughter, which makes me feel that it's not that simple."
"That's why we need to find out as soon as possible what the relationship between this Yuan Jialiang and Master Xiao's daughter is." Officer Wang said, waving his arms.
Everyone nodded silently and agreed.
Lu Weiwei urged: "Old Wang, you call Zhao Bureau and see if Zhao Bureau can urge the police on the other side of Hubei Province. After all, we are in a hurry here."
"Don't worry." Without further urging from Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang took out his mobile phone and started calling Zhao Guozhi.
As soon as the call was connected, Officer Wang said with a smile on his face, "Bureau Zhao, the police in Hubei province, do you have any news? We have made new progress here."
"Is it the result of the body test?" Zhao Guozhi said.
"How do you know, Director Zhao? I'm just about to report to you." Seeing that Zhao Guozhi already knew about the autopsy, Police Officer Wang stared blankly, feeling like he was wasting his expression.
Zhao Guozhi replied indifferently: "Forensic doctor Liu of the technical department of the Municipal Bureau, after calling Gu Chen just now, he directly called me again."
"After all, I also need to know the specifics of this case."
"So that's the case?" Police Officer Wang, who had figured out the situation, immediately asked again: "But, the E Provincial Police, do you have any explanation?"
After the voice fell, there was a brief pause on the phone for a few seconds.
And Police Officer Wang didn't dare to urge him.
It was also after a brief silence of five or six seconds that Zhao Guozhi said again: "Well, let me give you a call. The call is the police from Hubei Province who are responsible for assisting in handling our case. They are responsible for on-site investigation. This person is principal."
"If you want to know something? Call him directly and ask about the situation."
"Okay." Seeing that Zhao Guozhi was not very clear about the specific situation, but he gave the phone number of the front-line police officer from the Hubei Provincial Police, Police Officer Wang was still very satisfied.
After hanging up the phone, Officer Wang immediately received Zhao Guozhi's message.
Lu Weiwei came over to take a look, and hurriedly said, "If you have a phone number, then call and ask."
"Don't worry." Officer Wang didn't hesitate, and immediately dialed the phone number in the message.
Not long after, the phone was connected suddenly, almost without pause.
"Hello." A middle-aged man asked on the phone.
"Excuse me, are you... Hu Zhe... Officer Hu?" Officer Wang asked.
"That's right, you are?" Hu Zhe asked on the phone.
"Oh, I'm Old Wang from the Criminal Investigation Team of the Furong Branch of Jiangnan City. We are handling that case here. We need the cooperation of the police from Hubei Province..."
"Oh." Officer Wang said halfway, and Officer Hu on the other end of the phone quickly replied:
"I know, we are also helping you with field investigations. It just so happened that I found a female classmate of that cartoonist here. She seems to be familiar with this cartoonist and that Yuan Jialiang."
"Really?" Upon hearing the good news, Police Officer Wang became excited, and hurriedly asked:
"Then...can you let her communicate with us?"
"Of course it is possible." Hu Zhe was also unambiguous, and explained directly: "I was planning to get in touch with the Jiangnan City police, but your call just happened to come."
"Why don't we add a friend, how about I make a video call and let her communicate with you face to face? After all, you have a lot of details, what clues do you need? I don't know very well."
"Great, of course it's possible." Officer Wang said.
"That's fine, then I'll hang up first and call back later." Hu Zhe said.
Also after a brief communication between the two, Officer Wang hung up the phone, but soon received a friend invitation from Hu Zhe.
After police officer Wang decisively added Hu Zhe as a friend, he quickly made a video call.
Officer Wang put the mobile phone in front of the desk and clicked to connect.
And Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Yuan Shasha, Xu Feng and Zhang Wenxia immediately surrounded Police Officer Wang.
"Hi, I'm Lao Wang." Officer Wang waved his hand to the video phone, and also reported his family name: "I'm the deputy captain of the criminal investigation team of Furong Branch of Jiangnan City, and this is our captain Gu Chen."
Officer Wang pulled Gu Chen to his side.
During the video call, a third-level police inspector rubbed his eyes and said in disbelief, "Old Wang, your captain is so young."
"Haha, yes, he is also very good. He is the star policeman of our Furong branch." Faced with the curiosity of Hu Zhe, a police officer in Hubei Province, Officer Wang couldn't help boasting.
But Gu Chen was very modest, and went straight to the point: "Hello, Brother Hu, I'm Gu Chen, you said that you have helped us contact the female classmate of the cartoonist Xiao Mengqi, right?"
"Yes." Hu Zhe on the other end of the video call said.
"Then where is she now?" Gu Chen asked again.
"It's right next to me." While speaking, Hu Zhe directly gave up his position, placed the phone camera upright, and aimed at a middle-aged woman in front of him.
And the slightly fat middle-aged woman faced the camera nervously, waved her hand and said, "Hello."
"Hello, what's your name?" Gu Chen turned on the body camera, faced the video call, and started recording.
"My name is Yao Xue, and I'm Xiao Mengqi's college classmate." Yao Xue said.
"Can you report your ID card?" Gu Chen asked with a notebook.
"Yes, my ID number is..."
According to Gu Chen's request, Yao Xue, who is in Hubei Province, quickly informed Gu Chen of her identity information.
After Gu Chen completed the registration, he asked again: "How was Xiao Mengqi related to you back then?"
"Very good, we are roommates." Yao Xue said.
"Roommate? That relationship must be very good." Lu Weiwei said on the side.
"Yes." Yao Xue nodded silently, and said involuntarily: "Back then, Xiao Mengqi's bed was next door to mine. We were classmates and roommates, and we had a good relationship."
"Do you know about Xiao Mengqi committing suicide by jumping into the river?" Gu Chen asked.
"You know, back then, I was planning to come to Xiao Mengqi's hometown to attend her funeral, but because of a car accident, I broke my foot, so I missed her funeral."
Taking a deep breath, Yao Xue seemed a little sad.
So Gu Chen hurriedly asked again: "Then what kind of person do you think Xiao Mengqi was back then?"
"Xiao Mengqi? She...is very beautiful. When she was in school, many people chased her."
"She has a boyfriend, doesn't she?" Officer Wang asked.
"Yes, but, I heard that they broke up because of Xiao Mengqi's father's objection, so Xiao Mengqi's boyfriend was with other women again. Xiao Mengqi's heart was hit, so she couldn't think about it, so she jumped into the river and committed suicide."
"Is that true?" Gu Chen felt that there was something tricky about it, or that there were some situations that Gu Chen hadn't grasped, so he asked one more question.
But Yao Xue in the video call nodded silently: "Is it almost like this?"
"After all, although Xiao Mengqi is very beautiful, she is also very timid. Facing the pursuit of many boys in the school, she almost rejects them all."
"However, her boyfriend is not from their school, but a student from another university on our side."
"I met because of a football league in various colleges and universities. Xiao Mengqi felt that the boy was very good. After thinking about it, I stayed with him until I graduated from college."
"That's the one later, right?" Gu Chen said.
"Yes, Xiao Mengqi has only dated one boy, and that's him." Yao Xue said.
"What about Yuan Jialiang? Who is he?" Gu Chen immediately focused his investigation on Yuan Jialiang.
"Yuan Jialiang?" Yao Xue thought about it for a few seconds, and then said: "Yuan Jialiang is from the same school as us, in the class next to ours, and he is also one of Xiao Mengqi's many suitors."
"Back then, we had military training together, went to the cafeteria to eat together, went to see the stars and the moon together at night, and traveled together."
"In short, as long as we girls have group activities, then Yuan Jialiang will definitely go. Over time, everyone will regard him as a follower."
"Follower?" Lu Weiwei hesitated for a moment, but also hurriedly asked: "Then what was Xiao Mengqi's reaction at that time?"
"What's the reaction?" Yao Xue raised her head to think, and said slowly, "How can Xiao Mengqi react? Although Yuan Jialiang is very good, Yuan Jialiang is not Xiao Mengqi's favorite type."
"Yuan Jialiang is very talented in all aspects. However, Xiao Mengqi is a face-controller. Her boyfriend is handsome and very popular with girls. In their school, he is also a proper school girl."
"It's also because of this that Xiao Mengqi is with her boyfriend. It's just a pity that they both like each other, but because Xiao Mengqi's father stopped them, the two had to separate in the end."
Speaking of this, Yao Xue also said with regret: "Because I am a local from Hubei Province, and Xiao Mengqi's boyfriend is also studying and working here."
"So, he has always wanted to stay in his hometown and develop."
"Later, after graduation, I met Xiao Mengqi's boyfriend on our side, so I had a meal with him and asked him about Xiao Mengqi's situation."
"It was at that time that I discovered that Xiao Mengqi's father had always opposed her staying in Hubei Province, and her boyfriend refused to compromise. The two of them were just wasting away."
"In the end, his boyfriend finally couldn't bear this state and chose to break up on his own initiative. The two of them also started at that time and had no contact with each other."
"Then... what is Yuan Jialiang doing at this time?" Gu Chen asked.
Yao Xue scratched her cheeks, looked at Gu Chen and said, "I don't know Yuan Jialiang at this time, anyway, I know that in school, even though he knew that he was not Xiao Mengqi's favorite type, he would still follow Xiao Mengqi's side, Become Xiao Mengqi's follower."
"It's also because Yuan Jialiang is a righteous person, so everyone has a good relationship, and he is very good at pleasing girls, and he also belongs to the type of heartless."
"Although Xiao Mengqi doesn't like Yuan Jialiang, she doesn't reject him. In school, Yuan Jialiang even fought with other boys for Xiao Mengqi."
Speaking of this, Yao Xue also took a deep breath and said: "To be honest, we were all optimistic about Yuan Jialiang at the time, and even told Xiao Mengqi that although your boyfriend is handsome, his family conditions are very average."
"Besides, there are many women who like him, so I might give you a hat. After all, we know Yuan Jialiang well, but we don't know much about Xiao Mengqi's boyfriend from another school."
"However, I heard that there are many girls chasing after him in their school. I just feel that it is quite unreliable."
"Then, the girls in our dormitory even matched up with Xiao Mengqi, maybe because rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests? It's because they were too familiar with each other before, so Xiao Mengqi has always regarded Yuan Jialiang as a buddy."
Gu Chen nodded silently, recorded these, and asked, "Where will Yuan Jialiang go to develop after graduation? Do you know?"
"This one……"
Also made a little dizzy by Gu Chen's question, Yao Xue began to think again.
After a while, she raised her head and said, "I heard that he seems to have gone to your Jiangnan City to develop."
"Because Xiao Mengqi is in Jiangnan City, but her boyfriend is developing in Hubei Province."
"Furthermore, Yuan Jialiang also learned from us that Xiao Mengqi and her boyfriend, because of Xiao Mengqi's father's objection, have not been able to be together. It is a long-distance relationship."
"Of course, Xiao Mengqi's father objected to Xiao Mengqi's development in Hubei Province. If her boyfriend had been more determined and went to Jiangnan City with Xiao Mengqi, maybe the two of them would have become."
Taking a deep breath, Yao Xue was also quite helpless: "However, in this world, there are so many things that are logical, and the relationship after graduation will be somewhat bumpy."
"Xiao Mengqi's boyfriend didn't want to leave Hubei Province, but Yuan Jialiang was willing. After learning about the situation, he decisively resigned from his job in Hubei Province and came directly to Jiangnan City to develop."
After a pause, Yao Xue said again: "Everybody with a discerning eye knows this, right? He Yuan Jialiang came to Jiangnan City to develop, and it must be for Xiao Mengqi."
"If Xiao Mengqi breaks up with her boyfriend, she might end up with Yuan Jialiang."
"You mean... After Yuan Jialiang graduated, he has been developing in Jiangnan City, right?" Gu Chen also continued to confirm based on the information provided by Yao Xue.
"Yes." Yao Xue nodded to confirm.
"When exactly? When did Xiao Mengqi create which work?" Gu Chen asked again.
"It should be that little fresh work, I remember, it was Xiao Mengqi's last little fresh work, and it was finishing work at that time."
"Not long after that, that work was over, and for a long time after that, Xiao Mengqi was very decadent, mainly because her boyfriend broke up."
"But at this time, Yuan Jialiang has been in Jiangnan City. As for whether he went to find Xiao Mengqi? I don't know about this, and I'm not by Xiao Mengqi's side either."
"But what is certain is that Yuan Jialiang feels that this should be an opportunity. Maybe the two will meet often?"
"As for other aspects, I really don't know."
Yao Xue provided Gu Chen's team with many valuable clues at one time, and finally let Gu Chen know that Yuan Jialiang had always had hope for Xiao Mengqi.
Also really wanted to be with Xiao Mengqi, but what was the result?Gu Chen doesn't seem to be very clear, maybe Xiao Mengqi's father, Master Xiao, can understand something.
However, Master Xiao did not seem to provide these information.
Gu Chen took a deep breath, and then asked Yao Xue again: "Yao Xue, so Yuan Jialiang came to Jiangnan City to develop for Xiao Mengqi. After Xiao Mengqi committed suicide by jumping into the river, where was he? Did he attend Xiao Mengqi's funeral? "
"This one……"
Feeling that Gu Chen was embarrassing herself, Yao Xue also shook her head in embarrassment, and said helplessly: "Officer Gu, you are embarrassing me, and I don't know much about Xiao Mengqi's situation, let alone Xiao Mengqi's psychological thoughts at that time. "
"I want to know that Xiao Mengqi became depressed because of her boyfriend's breakup, and even started to think about suicide. Then I will definitely go to her, or talk to her on the phone."
"But……"
Speaking of this, Yao Xue also sighed heavily, and shook her head helplessly: "But, Xiao Mengqi left quietly, without even the slightest warning."
"Just the day before she committed suicide by jumping into the river, we were still talking on the phone for two nights, talking and laughing and sharing our interesting stories."
"Unexpectedly, the next day, Xiao Mengqi left this world forever, and I wasn't even mentally prepared."
In the end, sad emotions came to my heart again.
Yao Xue's nose was sour, and she couldn't help wiping away her tears.
