I am a super cop

Chapter 2635 The Master of the Jade Pendant

Gu Chen originally felt that Xu Yaxuan's departure from Xiangnan City was rather strange. He thought that perhaps Xu Tianxia did not tell his daughter too much, so his daughter Xu Yaxuan left Xiangnan City directly after the college entrance examination.

But now think about it, what if Xu Yaxuan is lying?
After all, Xu Tianxia only has this one daughter. If she committed suicide by jumping off a building without even making arrangements for her funeral, it would be a bit unreasonable to say more.

The most obvious thing is that before Xu Tianxia died, he should at least leave his property to Xu Yaxuan, right?

However, according to the investigation by the Shonan City Police, it seems that there is no preparation in this regard at all.

"Xu Yaxuan." After thinking about it, Gu Chen decided to return to Furong Branch and have a good talk with Xu Yaxuan.

The task of investigating Teacher Liu was given to He Junchao, while Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei went directly to the police dormitory area.

Found the room where Xu Yaxuan was temporarily staying.

"Xu Yaxuan." Lu Weiwei stood at the door and called out.

Soon, the door opened and Xu Yaxuan looked at the two people seriously: "Is it you?"

"Are you used to living here?" Gu Chen walked straight into the room, and Lu Weiwei followed closely behind him.

"It's...it's okay. It's more comfortable than living in the dormitory at school. At least it has everything it needs." Xu Yaxuan also followed behind the two of them and said casually.

After listening to Xu Yaxuan's words, Gu Chen did not respond, but simply checked the situation in the room.

Lu Weiwei quickly said, "If you need anything, just tell us. We have it in the material room and we will get it for you."

"Thank you, but there's nothing I need for now." Xu Yaxuan sat on the bed and sighed.

At this time, Gu Chen returned from the balcony and said casually:

"You should take a good rest here for the time being. We will also help coordinate your father's affairs over there. In addition, your mother..."

Having said that, Gu Chen deliberately observed Xu Yaxuan's expression.

At this moment, Xu Yaxuan's body trembled, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Should I notify your mother?"

"No need." Xu Yaxuan shook his head and said without hesitation: "My parents have been divorced for so many years."

"In the past few years, we would occasionally contact each other, but in recent years, we haven't bothered each other."

"Especially during this year's college entrance examination, my grandparents called me, but my mom didn't."

"She reunited her family and gave birth to a younger brother. Now they are living a good life. I guess they have forgotten that they have a daughter like me, right?"

"Okay." Seeing that Xu Yaxuan's mother was in this situation, Gu Chen did not force it, so he asked again:
"By the way, does your dad like to carry anything with him?"

"Uh……"

After hearing what Gu Chen said, Xu Yaxuan, who was sitting on the bed, hesitated for a moment.

So Lu Weiwei also hurriedly urged: "Think about it carefully, what does he usually wear on his body?"

"No? He doesn't seem to have any hobbies in this area."

"For example... a jade pendant?"

As soon as Xu Yaxuan finished speaking, Gu Chen reminded him.

Xu Yaxuan's eyes suddenly lit up, his brows slightly frowned, and he seemed to be holding a lot of anger in his heart.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Seeing this, Gu Chen quickly asked the reason.

But at this time, Xu Yaxuan waved his hands and said with a sad and angry face: "You must have found the jade pendant worn on my father's body, right?"

"Yes, there was a discovery. It was made by the Shonan City police when they were doing the autopsy."

"I originally wanted to contact his family, but later I found out that he has been living with you, and you live on campus, and your contact information has also changed, so I can't contact you for the time being."

At this point, Gu Chen asked Xu Yaxuan again: "By the way, Xu Yaxuan, I'm curious, why did you change your mobile number right after the exam? Don't you know what will happen if others can't contact you at this time?"

"I……"

After feeling that Gu Chen had discovered these clues, Xu Yaxuan's expression became a little complicated.

So Gu Chen asked again: "Also, what is the situation with that jade pendant? It's a very small piece, but your father Xu Tianxia always wears it around his neck. It must be a very important item, right?"

"Have you ever seen this when you are at home with your father?"

"Yes." Facing Gu Chen's questioning, Xu Yaxuan did not hide anything, but took the initiative to admit it.

"What is the origin of that thing? It looks ordinary." Lu Weiwei said.

"Because that woman gave it to him."

"That woman?"

After hearing what Xu Yaxuan said, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei looked at each other, as if there was something else going on.

So Lu Weiwei quickly asked again: "Is she your father's new girlfriend?"

"We've known each other for many years." Xu Yaxuan sighed and said slowly, "He was my dad's elementary school classmate. We've known each other since we were little."

"Later, the woman married a man from another province and was abused by her husband. She then divorced him and returned to her hometown to open a bakery."

Having said this, Xu Yaxuan lowered his head again, as if he didn't want to mention it anymore.

Seeing this, Lu Weiwei continued to ask her cautiously, "What is the relationship between your father and that woman?"

"That woman is not a good person either." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Xu Yaxuan responded:
"I only knew before that she divorced because of domestic violence. At first, I felt quite sympathetic towards her."

"After all, she hugged me when I was a child, but later I found out that she was unfaithful first, and then her ex-husband ran away with her, and finally they divorced."

"But if she said she got divorced because of such a trivial matter, her family would definitely lose face, so she made up lies to whitewash herself."

"Then how did you find out later?" Gu Chen asked.

"Haha, what happened next? Someone from her ex-husband's side came to Shonan City on a business trip and talked about this matter with a few friends."

"And those friends happened to know that woman, and one of them was even developing a relationship with her."

"When he heard about it, he got angry and had a fight with that woman. Eventually, everyone knew about it."

"The woman's business declined significantly because of this incident. Finally, she had no choice but to close the bakery. Then she moved to another place and has not been heard from since."

"What about the jade pendant on your father Xu Tianxia?" Lu Weiwei heard this and felt that she also wanted to know about the jade pendant. Xu Yaxuan scratched the back of his head and said without hesitation: "The jade pendant was given to my father by that woman."

"Because my dad has liked her since they were little. We were classmates in elementary school and had a very good relationship. We were even deskmates."

"It's just that at that time, my father's family was poor and she looked down on him, so we could only be friends, not lovers."

"The man she married was also a factory owner. He opened a factory in Shonan City, and the woman worked in the factory."

"Not long after, I heard that she was pregnant. I heard that the woman used some tricks to make the man divorce her, and finally married him."

"But later, the man's factory closed down due to poor management."

"She followed the man to his hometown, but she felt restless and eventually returned to Shonan City."

"My dad was already married at that time, but he still helped her. The woman gave my dad an antique jade pendant and told him that if he encountered difficulties in the future, he could bring the jade pendant to her."

"If she can help, she will definitely help. The relationship between the two is really pure. My dad has always treated that woman as a treasure, but I hate her."

"I don't want her to be my stepmother because I would be laughed at by my classmates back home."

After taking a deep breath, Xu Yaxuan continued, "So, I had a fight with my dad."

"I also warned him that if he married this woman, I would sever my father-daughter relationship with him, and I meant what I said."

"So it is because of this incident that there has always been a rift between you and your father?" Gu Chen looked up at Xu Yaxuan.

Xu Yaxuan did not deny it and continued to explain: "Yes, later his career was booming and he made some money."

"But he has always had that woman in his heart. That's why I distanced myself from him."

"Although I know that the two of them should have been together, after all, they have both been through a lot, but I still can't accept that woman's character."

"Especially because she has a bad reputation in our place. Because of this, I often quarrel with my father."

"Wait a moment." It seems that there is also the matter of the jade pendant's mistress in the middle.

Gu Chen felt that the woman might have an important relationship with Xu Tianxia’s death.

So Gu Chen quickly asked again: "Does this woman contact your father frequently now?"

"I'm not sure." Xu Yaxuan shook his head.

"Think about it carefully. Also, where does that woman live now?"

"Where do you live now? I think you live in Jiangnan City? I remember that when my dad was at home during the Chinese New Year, he received a phone call. From his happy expression like a child, I knew that the person who called my dad was that woman."

"In the end, I also overheard it by accident. My dad mentioned it casually on the phone. He asked me if you were living well in Jiangnan City. I felt quite disgusted when I heard it."

"Jiangnan City? That means the jade pendant's mistress is in Jiangnan City, and Teacher Liu is also in Jiangnan City."

"And your father also came to Jiangnan City and gave a mobilization speech to those senior high school students for the college entrance examination."

Having said that, Gu Chen took a deep breath and tried to calm down. Then he looked at Xu Yaxuan and said:

“So, your father may have seen this woman when he came to Jiangnan City.”

"Yes." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Lu Weiwei on the side quickly agreed:
"That teacher Liu met your father when he came to Jiangnan City."

"And your father also knew that the woman was in Jiangnan City. They had such a good relationship, so how could he not meet her? Isn't this a bit unreasonable?"

"This one……"

Xu Yaxuan was also a little dizzy from Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei's questions. He held his forehead with his left hand and said thoughtfully:
"Hearing what you said, it seems to make sense. Could it be that my father came to Jiangnan City to give a speech just to meet that woman?"

With his arms crossed over his chest, Xu Yaxuan thought seriously for a few seconds before saying:

"It seems that this reason does exist. My father has such a good relationship with her. There is no reason for him not to contact her when he came to Jiangnan City for business. These two people must have had contact."

Seeing Xu Yaxuan getting more and more excited, Lu Weiwei quickly reminded him, "What does that woman look like? What's her name?"

"Her name is Zhang Qing, and she looks like... a vixen."

"Be more specific." When Gu Chen saw Xu Yaxuan use the word "vixen" to describe her, he knew how much she hated that woman.

Xu Yaxuan immediately began to reorganize his words and said, "If you put aside your prejudice, that woman is indeed pretty, and she has a good figure even at her age."

"She has an oval face and is quite charming."

"Do you have a photo of her?" Gu Chen asked.

"Haha, why would I collect that thing? I feel sick when I see her, so why would I collect her photos?" Xu Yaxuan waved his hands and firmly denied it.

"Zhang Qing." Gu Chen mentioned the name and continued to think:
"If there are no specific facial features, it is indeed difficult. Is she registered in Shonan City?"

"Yes." Seeing Gu Chen asking, Xu Yaxuan quickly added:
"It's in Lianhua Township, Fudong District, Xiangnan City. That's where my father's household registration is, and it's also the woman's household registration."

"You can look for her based on this, maybe you can find her."

"Well, I have to communicate this with He Junchao right away." Seeing that Xu Yaxuan provided detailed information, Lu Weiwei quickly took out her cell phone and started contacting He Junchao.

After a life-threatening conversation, Lu Weiwei finally hung up the phone and looked at Xu Yaxuan and asked, "By the way, does your dad have any other close friends?"

"Friend?" Hearing this word, Xu Yaxuan was suddenly stunned.

"What? Does your dad not have any friends?" Lu Weiwei also looked curious.

"Uh, this..." After thinking for a while, Xu Yaxuan looked at Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, shook his head and said:
"I'm not sure. Anyway, I don't see him having any particularly close friends."

"For so many years, my father has been working outside the province to make a living, working very hard."

"Sometimes, I have to change work locations several times a year. If I have to make friends, the most I have are my co-workers, but they are not particularly good friends."

"He is a very lonely person. Even though he has made some money now, he doesn't have many friends. It seems that he always keeps to himself."

"If he were to say who his only spiritual support was, it would probably be that woman, right? She was his beloved friend."

"Because only she could encourage my dad when he was down and out, giving him the motivation to get to where he is today step by step."

Taking a deep breath, Xu Yaxuan shook his head helplessly: "Actually, I really don't want the person who has been silently encouraging my dad to be that woman, really."
