"Because Zhan Hongxia told the investigators that she had an improper relationship with Professor He." Gao Mingyuan sighed: "In that era, this kind of thing was not trivial, especially Professor He's status was not ordinary."
"Hate comes from love?" Cui Ying asked.
"It should be like this." Gao Mingyuan said: "I don't know whether it is true or not. After all, one party is dead, and Zhan Hongxia's statement cannot be verified. But after this statement spread, public opinion suddenly changed drastically, and everyone said that Zhan Hongxia
Xia was deceived, so love turned hate, which led to the tragedy. Many people even began to doubt Professor He's character. Zhan Hongxia was very smart. She cried and complained to the court that she was pitiful, but she was stunned at the last moment.
Turn things around and change the death penalty to life imprisonment."
"This woman is so scheming," Cui Ying said.
"Yeah, I have the same feeling. Women are really scary animals. After she was imprisoned, she behaved well and her sentence was reduced many times. Ten years ago, she was allowed to be released on medical parole because she had a serious heart disease. Five years ago, her sentence officially ended.
She regained her freedom." Gao Mingyuan said: "However, the labor camp also received some feedback that she was mentally abnormal. They tried to persuade her to see a psychiatrist, but she refused."
"It must be like this. Haven't we always found it strange that this old lady is sometimes yin and sometimes yang, which makes us feel miserable and panicked." Subai said carelessly: "This can explain it."
Gao Mingyuan said: "The strangest thing is that Professor He's house is a famous ghost house. No one bought it and it has been vacant for many years. Zhan Hongxia asked to live in it as soon as she regained her freedom because she had no relatives to live in.
The institute agreed and sent people to buy basic daily necessities for her. Knowing that she could support herself by doing some small jobs to supplement the household income, she felt relieved."
"That old lady is very good at handicrafts and cooking." Cui Ying said: "I see that the children are wearing handmade vests, and the workmanship is very exquisite."
"That's because she has been a maid in the He family for more than ten years. She does all kinds of work." Gao Mingyuan said: "Oh, we were living so well, how could something like that happen? The most pitiful thing is the pair of children. I heard that
One was ten years old and the other was eight years old. After death, their heads and limbs were cut off. When they found the basement, several people fainted at the scene. It was so scary to look at them. I heard that the scene was full of stumps and blood.
The ground was covered with corpses that began to rot, and the blood on the ground was washed many times, but it still couldn't be washed away."
No wonder, the ground in that basement always felt weird. Subai covered his mouth. It was all because of his rich imagination that a tragic scene emerged involuntarily: "I'll strangle you."
"I heard that he first drugged a family and then moved his hands to the basement, which is consistent with the situation you encountered." Gao Mingyuan looked at everyone carefully, and then said: "I'm thinking, what if the old lady
Even if you are not dead, you are still hanging. If not, you will be killed and then dismembered, repeating the tragedy of forty years ago."
Subai took a breath: "Don't we have to thank the person who killed Zhan Hongxia?"
"Well, uncle, actually we also have something to tell you." Yue Qing said: "It is important and very bizarre, so we did not mention it in the confession."
Gao Mingyuan immediately looked at the four of them with a grimace, then patted his chest: "You didn't say it in your confession, so I thank you."
After Yue Qing finished telling the story of the coffin and the child, Gao Mingyuan wanted to kneel down to the four of them. If this matter was revealed, the case would not be closed. He wiped away his tears and said, "You did a good job."
Cui Ying said helplessly: "With the previous lessons, we have also learned what should be said and what should not be said. Uncle, based on your experience in detective work, did Zhan Hongxia commit suicide or commit homicide?"
"I had doubts before because of the strength of the knife, and with what you said, he must have killed him." Gao Mingyuan said: "This person's purpose is the child and the female body. You are beyond this person's expectation, but he
I saved you by accident."
"I can help you make a closing statement now. Zhan Hongxia illegally detained two men and two women because of a relapse of her old mental illness. After she woke up, she realized her wrong behavior and committed suicide." Su Bai
He raised his eyebrows: "That's right, uncle?"
Gao Mingyuan smiled awkwardly: "Yes."
Subai had a boring expression, and Gao Mingyuan said: "We also have our own difficulties. Such bizarre things are not within our capabilities. Let's leave it to you to continue tracking."
Xue Fen walked in and said calmly: "It is not his business to deal with dead people giving birth. You should find the identity of the female corpse as soon as possible, and then follow the traces to find the whereabouts of the child."
"That's the only way." Su Bai said helplessly: "Are you two going on a date again?"
Gao Mingyuan smiled honestly: "I'm too busy during the day, and I only have a little time at night, so we'll leave first."
Xuefen and Gao Mingyuan walked out of the antique store. Seeing Gao Mingyuan was in a bad mood, Xuefen asked, "What's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing." Gao Mingyuan put his hands into his pockets and said squeakingly: "There is just something that I don't know whether I should tell you or not."
"Why are you acting coy today? If you have anything to say, just say it." Xue Fan said with disgust.
"I received a letter today." Gao Mingyuan took out a letter: "It was written by Su Xiaoxiao."
"It's a love letter," Xuefen said, "I don't need to read it, they are all women. I have already guessed that she is interested in you. If you can tell me, I will feel relieved. Mingyuan, are you free this weekend?
"
"This weekend, you can do it at night. I'll be there when you call." Gao Mingyuan stood at attention and said, "As long as it's your order."
"I want you to meet my family." Xuefen said, "There is something, and it's time to tell you."
Gao Mingyuan's eyes were very bright under the street lights. He had been looking forward to this for a long time. He was obviously a grown man, but he couldn't talk about it. In his heart, the relationship between two people was just the beginning. Marriage is where they belong.
To get belonging, you must start by meeting your parents. After dating Xuefen for several months, except for Xuefen’s nephew, he has never met anyone else. This day has finally come!
In fact, the next night was the weekend. Gao Mingyuan said eagerly: "How about tomorrow night, okay?"
Xuefen hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and agreed: "Okay, come to the antique shop at nine o'clock tomorrow evening."
Xuefen made this decision based on Xuexiang's words. Some things cannot be hidden. When this man's appearance grows old and turns into an old man, but he still has black hair like waterfalls and skin like snow, this man will definitely be angry.
It's terrible. I have been surrounded by lies for many years, and I feel even more humiliated. If so, why not tell the truth earlier?
Having made up his mind, Xuefen just waits for the result tomorrow night. If he can't accept it, then ask Bai Chang to pick the flowers of the other side, wash away Gao Mingyuan's memory of him, and let him continue to live as an ordinary person. Xuefen is here
He closed his eyes under the street lamp: "I'm tired. Let's just stop here today. We'll see you tomorrow night."
Back at the antique shop, Xuefen saw Xue Xiang Zheng Yingning playing Go. Xue Fen was sitting next to him: "Xue Xiang, you said we can't eat fried tofu, right?"
"Yes, the tail will be exposed after eating it." Xue Xiang held up the chess piece in his hand and did not put it down for a long time: "Have you decided?"
"It's a matter of time, isn't it? I'm going to fry some fried tofu for tomorrow night." Xuefen said, "Xuexiang, please be my sister tomorrow. You are from your mother's side, aren't you?"
Xue Xiang nodded: "Okay."
Yingning was confused when she heard: "Mom, aunt, what are you talking about?"
"Tomorrow night, you guys stay in your room and don't come out. Auntie wants you to watch a play, but I don't know if it's a tragedy or a comedy," Xuefen said, "Just pray for your auntie in your heart."
On the night of the next day, the four of them stayed in the room obediently, just listening to the noise outside. Gao Mingyuan was a little restless: "Um, didn't you agree that you would meet your parents' family today?"
"My mother's family has already arrived." Xue Fan looked at Xue Xiang: "This is the sister of my clan."
"In the clan?" Gao Mingyuan chuckled: "We usually call our sister Xue Xiang, I know her. However, I thought the person I wanted to meet was your relative. Xue Xiang is a distant relative, right?"
"My parents have passed away, and my brother is busy with work and can't come over." Xuefen said, "You have met my nephew before. He is a junior and it is not convenient for him to come over. Let's have something to eat."
Xue Xiang smiled slightly: "Xue Fen and I are of the same blood, so it is actually appropriate for me to be the representative."
"Of course it's appropriate." Gao Mingyuan said, "Actually, I have one more thing to do today."
Gao Mingyuan took out a black velvet box and took a deep breath: "Just in time for Xue Xiang to be a witness."
Ying Ning heard this clearly and asked doubtfully: "Do you want to propose?"
"Poor uncle, will he be scared to death in a while?" Su Bai said maliciously: "The dignified captain is going to come here to be humiliated and take the blow. Isn't Aunt Xuefen too cruel?"
Yingning punched Subai in the chest: "Bad guy!"
Subai held Yingning's hand and said, "Listen carefully."
Outside, Xue Fen stared at the snacks on the table. The fried tofu was placed there unexpectedly, which naturally attracted Gao Mingyuan's attention: "Why, do you like fried tofu as a snack?"
Xue Fen smiled and said nothing, reached out and picked up a piece of fried tofu and put it into her mouth. When the fried tofu fell into her stomach, Xue Fen felt a sudden heat at the end of her spine. When Xue Xiang saw this, she immediately said to Gao Mingyuan: "
Officer Gao has known Suba and the others for a while, and I heard that he has experienced many bizarre incidents with them, right?"
"Yes, we met because of the narrow escape case. From that time on, I seemed to be a little addicted." Gao Mingyuan said honestly: "Every time I meet them, strange things always happen."
"So, does Officer Gao think there are other forms of existence besides humans in this world?" Xue Xiang said still vaguely.
"Are you referring to ghosts?" Gao Mingyuan beat a small drum in his heart. Didn't he say that he would meet his relatives? He even put the ring box on the table, but the topic got further and further away...
