At the nurse's station, Zhang Ying clearly felt that Gu Chen today seemed different from before.
Gu Chen also approached him several times to inquire about Hu Zhe's situation, but each time the atmosphere was not too tense.
Because Zhang Ying had given Zhang Jingde meticulous care when Zhang Jingde was injured, Gu Chen regarded her as one of his own.
But this time, Zhang Ying saw more strangeness in Gu Chen's eyes.
"Zhang Ying, I have something to ask you." Gu Chen looked serious.
Zhang Ying smiled slightly: "Gu Bureau, what's wrong with you today? I haven't seen you so serious usually? It feels like the two of us are strangers."
"Really?" Gu Chen raised his eyebrows, but quickly regained his composure:
"Maybe it's because I usually don't have too many ideas of my own. Let's make a long story short. Vujicic should be your best friend, right?"
"That's right." Gu Chen felt a little weird tonight, and Zhang Ying also asked in confusion: "What's wrong, Officer Gu? Do we still need to ask this question?"
"Vujicic is a member of our metal band. We have been partners since college. Of course we are best friends."
"Okay." After hearing Zhang Ying's words, Gu Chen turned around and asked, "Then I want to ask you, is your father's name Zhang Guifa?"
"Why mention... what are you mentioning him for?" When Gu Chen said this, Zhang Ying's eyes were obviously a little dodgeful.
And these small details were all noticed by Gu Chen.
This also made Gu Chen more convinced that Zhang Ying was indeed Zhang Guifa's daughter.
Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen tried to calm down his mood and said with sincerity:
"So your father is really Zhang Guifa?"
"Yes." It felt like Gu Chen's communication with him today was more like an interrogation.
And when she mentioned her father, Zhang Ying suddenly seemed a little nervous.
Lu Weiwei on the side quickly comforted her and said: "Zhang Ying, you don't need to be too nervous. We also investigated based on clues and found that Hu Zhe's disappearance seems to be related to your father."
"Is it related to my father?" Hearing Lu Weiwei say the same thing, Zhang Ying seemed a little uneasy at this moment, and she quickly asked:
"Why does Vujicic have anything to do with my father? What on earth is going on?"
"Zhang Ying, don't be anxious yet." From Zhang Ying's reply, Officer Wang also saw the problem.
So he communicated with Zhang Ying in a tone of communication between friends:
"I want to know if there is any estrangement between you and your father?"
"Do I have to say it?" Zhang Ying took a deep breath and asked rhetorically.
Officer Wang nodded silently: "This is very important for the handling of our case. You'd better explain it in detail."
"Because it involves the disappearance of Hu Zhe, your father, and everything about you, it is all related to the case."
"In other words, is Hu Zhe's disappearance really related to my father?" From the police's tone, Zhang Ying also detected some clues.
It seems that this matter also involves me.
Seeing that Gu Chen and others didn't reply, Zhang Ying suddenly seemed a little nervous.
Yuan Shasha, who was standing by, quickly comforted her and said, "Zhang Ying, just tell the truth. We are also investigating."
"Besides, what is the relationship between you and your father?"
"We really don't know much about this. As friends, maybe we shouldn't ask more questions, but as police officers handling the case, we need to know everything about the case."
After a pause, Yuan Shasha added: "This includes your family situation."
"Okay." Seeing what everyone said, Zhang Ying seemed to be sure that this matter might really have something to do with her.
After briefly calming down, Zhang Ying also thought back and said: "Actually, I haven't contacted my father for a long time."
"Besides, the relationship between me and my father has never been very good, so..."
Sighing heavily, Zhang Ying also had a troubled expression at the moment, holding her head in her hands with a look of helplessness.
"So, is your father really the businessman Zhang Guifa?" Gu Chen asked her quickly to confirm.
Zhang Ying didn't refute anything this time. Instead, she nodded silently and admitted proactively: "Yes, he has a lot of business in Jiangnan City."
"Then he started his career in foreign trade, right?" Gu Chen continued to ask based on Zou Yuhua's previous explanation.
Zhang Ying nodded silently and couldn't help but said: "He did start in foreign trade. He studied foreign trade very early and worked in this field."
"Later, the business gradually expanded. Of course, these had nothing to do with me, because I never cared about these things and didn't want to understand them."
"How much money he makes or loses has nothing to do with me."
"You are really interesting." Seeing that Zhang Ying has such a great father, but he is doing the most ordinary nursing work.
It is hard for Lu Weiwei to imagine how contradictory Zhang Ying's inner world is.
At least in Lu Weiwei's view, if the family conditions of a girl like Zhang Ying are good, at least the work will not make her too hard.
But Zhang Ying did it the other way around, and she didn't seem to have much to do with her father, Zhang Guifa.
This makes it hard to imagine that at least there is really no entanglement between Zhang Ying and Zhang Guifa? Or is Zhang Ying using her identity as a nurse to do something for Zhang Guifa?
In this regard, Lu Weiwei, like Gu Chen, has a hard time making a choice.
So we need to understand Zhang Ying in more detail.
Lu Weiwei was still thinking about the problem, and Gu Chen on the side asked directly: "How about you tell me about your father? How much do you know about him?"
"Also, why don't you have much contact with him? You two have a father-daughter relationship."
"Indeed." Faced with Gu Chen's inquiry, Zhang Ying in the nurse station lost her energy at the moment and recalled listlessly:
"When talking about my father Zhang Guifa, in fact, his life is quite legendary."
Looking up at Gu Chen and the others in front of her, Zhang Ying also smiled and said: "Our family has actually been living in the mountains before."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I just remember when I was very young, the roads at home were not easy to walk, and I had to climb mountains and ridges to go to nearby towns."
"Later, I became a left-behind child and lived with my grandparents."
"My parents both went to other places to work together. They first went south to Pengcheng to work there."
"My father joined a foreign trade company because of his strong business ability."
Hearing this, Gu Chen also felt that he did not lie when he interrogated Zou Yuhua.
At least what Zhang Ying said now is basically consistent with what Zou Yuhua explained.
Gu Chen looked up at Zhang Ying, stretched out his hand and said, "Keep talking."
"Yeah." She nodded silently, and Zhang Ying continued to think about it and said, "Anyway, foreign trade business was relatively easy to do in those years, so my dad also made a lot of money."
"Later I heard that I could go it alone. However, the first few years of starting my own company were very hard. How much money would I make? It's basically unrealistic."
"But after all, my dad still has some skills, so he gradually made the foreign trade company very impressive."
Looking up at the ceiling, Zhang Ying also recalled: "I only remember that my family bought a car when I was in junior high school."
"At that time, I felt that my dad was really amazing."
"But later, I discovered that the relationship between my mother and my father was getting worse and worse. Sometimes, my mother would take me back to my grandma's house to live with me during holidays."
"I can no longer go to my dad's company during holidays like before. My mom also started to open a women's clothing store in the county town where my grandma and grandpa lived."
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the family?" Yuan Shasha felt that something was wrong when she heard what Zhang Ying said.
But at this moment, Zhang Ying did not hide anything. Instead, she admitted straightforwardly:
"Yes, because at that time, my mother never told me the truth."
"I'm just saying that I have been away from home for so many years and have never stayed at home and failed to fulfill the responsibilities of a mother."
"So, she said she wanted to stay in her hometown and take care of me and the elderly at home. I stupidly believed it all at the time."
"until one day……"
When she said this, Zhang Ying's entire expression seemed to be extremely entangled.
In other words, this was originally a past that Zhang Ying did not want to mention.
Gu Chen could understand Zhang Ying's situation at this moment, but in order to investigate the case, Gu Chen continued to ask:
"You keep talking until one day what happens?"
"Huh!" Zhang Ying took a deep breath and said slowly:
"Until one day, I came home from school and went directly to the clothing store to find my mother."
"At that time, there was no one in the store, and my mother was also talking to someone on the phone."
"I wanted to give my mother a surprise, so I walked into the store quietly without being noticed by her. I wanted to show up suddenly, scare my mother, and play a joke on her."
After a pause, Zhang Ying rubbed her face with one hand and continued: "But later, I found more and more that something seemed not quite right."
"Which aspect are you referring to?" Yuan Shasha asked.
"My mother's phone number." Zhang Ying said.
"Okay, keep talking." Seeing this, Yuan Shasha could only give the right to speak to Zhang Ying again.
Zhang Ying also sniffed, and then slowly said: "My mother was calling my father at that time, and she was calling my father with an angry tone."
"I learned over the phone that the reason why my mother returned to the small county to open a clothing store was not to take care of me and the elderly at home."
"It was because my father made some bad money and started seeing other women outside. When my mother found out, she had a big fight with my father."
"Later, the relationship between the two took a turn for the worse. Under constant pressure from the woman, my father decided to divorce my mother."
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Ying also smiled self-deprecatingly: "It's ridiculous, right? They were the ones who made the mistake, but they forced my mother to divorce?"
"Although the conditions they offered are very good, that foreign trade company also had a hard time on my mother's part."
"But, my mother has worked hard for so long, what will she get in the end?"
"Then what happened next?" Gu Chen expressed deep sympathy when he learned that Zhang Ying had an unfortunate family, but he also wanted to know what happened next.
Zhang Ying took a deep breath and tried to calm down, then said again:
"Later, my parents officially divorced, and my mother was willing to give up a lot of property in order to get my custody rights."
"In this way, my mother has always taken care of me and allowed me to complete the college entrance examination and enter university."
"During this period, my dad will also visit me during the Chinese New Year and take me to the amusement park with my mom."
Speaking of this, Zhang Ying's nose became sour and she couldn't help but choked up: "I was so stupid at that time. I really didn't see any problems."
"I thought my dad came home during the Chinese New Year because he was busy with work. He didn't even let me go to his company during the summer vacation. He said he was busy with business."
Having said this, Zhang Ying took a deep breath and felt helpless.
Officer Wang crossed his arms and said thoughtfully: "So, that's when you started hating your father Zhang Guifa?"
"That's right." As soon as Officer Wang finished speaking, Zhang Ying looked up at the crowd and said:
"I was listening to my mother's roar on the phone, a very helpless roar, and then I realized how much of a bastard my father was."
"When he sees me every Chinese New Year, his fake smile makes me feel sick when I think about it afterwards."
"He hurt my mother and me. I will never forgive him in this life."
Speaking of this, Zhang Ying seemed to be unable to hide her inner sadness, and she covered her chest as if she was a little overwhelmed with emotion.
Seeing this, Gu Chen quickly stepped forward and comforted: "Zhang Ying, I'm sorry to know that you have such an unfortunate family."
"To be honest, although I don't want to expose your scars, we do know a little bit. Later, your mother seemed to have died in a car accident, right?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Yes." Seeing that Gu Chen seemed to be prepared, Zhang Ying did not hide it, but said straightforwardly:
"My mother was very depressed during that time because they had been divorced for several years and I was already in college."
"But later, I heard that the woman who was with my father seemed to be infertile, and my father didn't want to give up on me, so he wanted to get my custody rights back."
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Ying was also furious and said: "Do you know? The harm they caused to my mother is painful enough, but now they want to deprive my mother of the only thing she has."
"If you want me to follow that bastard father, I can't do it. I can't do it at all."
Quickly wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, Zhang Ying choked and said:
"When my mother hung up the phone, she cried, but what made her even more sad was that she found that I was standing in front of her."
"The grievance she felt in her heart made her unable to calm down. Just like that, I hugged my mother and cried bitterly."
"I have never thought about how I, a very good person, could become a child from a single-parent family."
"That's when my mother started to feel depressed and she no longer had the smile she once had."
After a pause, Zhang Ying wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, tried to calm down, and said:
"Later, my mother suffered from depression, and her condition became worse day by day."
"The breakdown of her family left her mentally and physically exhausted."
"She always wakes up suddenly from nightmares in the middle of the night, screaming in fear."
"Whenever I was woken up, I would run to her room and find that she had another nightmare. She dreamed that my father and that woman took me away from my mother."
"My mother hugged me and said that I was the only one for her. Even if she had nothing, as long as I was by her side, it would be fine. I also smiled and comforted my mother. I said that I would stay by her side all my life and never let her be wronged.
.”
After saying this, Zhang Ying suddenly couldn't hide her inner collapse, lying on the table and crying loudly.
This made Gu Chen and others confused.
Originally, everyone came to investigate Zhang Ying's situation. After all, his father Zhang Guifa was involved in serious criminal activities. Gu Chen just wanted to know how much Zhang Ying knew about this?
After all, the disappearance of Hu Zhe, who was in a metal band with Zhang Ying, was also related to Zhang Ying's father, Zhang Guifa, and Gu Chen didn't want to miss any clues.
But now, it seems that Zhang Ying's long-sealed scars are being revealed.
Gu Chen could understand this uncomfortable feeling, but he actually didn't feel good about it either.
Seeing Zhang Ying lying on the table crying, her mood collapsed to the extreme.
Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha looked at each other and signaled everyone not to stimulate Zhang Ying's emotions too much.
There is no need to ask anything right away? Give Zhang Ying some time to relax.
After venting this wave of sad emotions, Zhang Ying sniffed, eyes red, looked up at Gu Chen and the others, and couldn't help but choked and said:
"I'm sorry, it's because I feel very sad when I think of my mother again."
"Understandable." Gu Chen nodded silently, handed the tissue in his hand to Zhang Ying, and said, "Wipe your tears."
"Thank you." Zhang Ying took the tissue with tears in the corners of her eyes, and then tried to calm down.
Seeing that Zhang Ying's mood had eased, Gu Chen asked again: "So, your mother has been living in depression since then?"
"Yes." After sniffing, Zhang Ying maintained emotional restraint and said slowly:
"Then one day, I was in school, but suddenly I received a call from home, telling me to go back quickly, saying that something was wrong with my mother."
"But what is the specific situation? I don't know, but I know clearly that my mother has been living in depression these years."
"Even if you are in a trance for a long time, you are a good person, and your body is getting worse day by day."
"When I heard that my mother was in trouble, I bought a ticket and returned home that day."
"I just found out that my mother was in a car accident."
Having said this, Zhang Ying tried her best to calm herself down, took a deep breath, and then said:
"Later I found out that my mother was in a severe mental trance during that period and had been staying at home to recuperate."
"But one day, she suddenly walked towards the road and just crossed it without paying attention to the vehicles driving on the roadside."
"As a result, she was hit head-on by a fast-moving pickup truck, and my mother died on the spot."
With a sore nose, Zhang Ying raised her head and took a deep breath before continuing to explain:
"Later I found out that my mother had left me a suicide note at home, and crashing the car was just a way for her to escape."
"On that day, I lost my dearest person in the world, I lost my mother, and the culprit of all this was my father."
Seeing Zhang Ying's shortness of breath, Gu Chen nodded silently, approached Zhang Ying, and quickly comforted:
"I'm very sad about your mother's death."
"Yes." Zhang Ying looked up at Gu Chen and continued: "I'm very sad. I've never been so sad."
"I really can't figure it out. My mother is such a good woman. Why would my father abandon her? To be with another woman?"
"And that woman was mean and mean. How could she compare to my mother? But it was such a woman who took away my father and chose to leave him when his business failed."
With a faint sigh, Zhang Ying shook her head helplessly: "Later, my father became single again because of the failure of that business, but fortunately his vitality was not damaged."
"It didn't take long for the business to slow down. Due to my mother's death, he was able to take me over and continue to raise me."
"But how can I explain my hatred with him clearly in just one or two sentences? So, since then, I have ignored my father."
"Although he came to see me many times and gave me a lot of money, I didn't ask for any of it."
"Because of my mother's death, I became more determined to become a medical worker."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Looking up at Gu Chen and the others, Zhang Ying finally calmed down a lot, and then she said slowly:
"So, I became a nurse at the People's Hospital, but I had nothing to do with Zhang Guifa."
Hearing this, Gu Chen also breathed a sigh of relief for her.
You know, it has nothing to do with Zhang Guifa, so this is the best choice for Zhang Ying.
At least Zhang Guifa's incident has nothing to do with Zhang Ying.
Lu Weiwei on the side also said happily: "Zhang Ying, I feel relieved to hear you say that."
"So now, we still want to know, are you not clear at all about your father Zhang Guifa?"
"I don't know." Zhang Ying shook her head and her tone was very firm.
"Okay." Lu Weiwei nodded silently, and then said:
"Then I also want to ask you, do your father Zhang Guifa and Hu Zhe know each other?"
"this……"
Hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Zhang Ying was obviously stunned for a moment.
"So you know each other?" Officer Wang said.
"Is that considered acquaintance? I don't know the details." Zhang Ying's head was buzzing at the moment, and she didn't seem to know how to answer.
Upon seeing this, Officer Wang quickly asked: "How do you say we know each other? In other words, Hu Zhe actually met your father? We also communicated with him, right?"
"Yeah." Zhang Ying did not refute this time, but also said slowly:
"I only remember that once, our band went to a commercial performance."
"The event was invited by a local organizer, and there were many entrepreneurs who came to participate in the event."
"But I didn't know at the time that my father Zhang Guifa was inside. At that time, our band was only focused on performing our own show."
"But after it was over, the organizer immediately settled the performance fee to us, which was a bit surprising to us."
"Because every time we perform, the other party only pays a deposit and waits until a week, or even a month after the performance, before settling the performance fees to us."
"So, it was a bit unexpected for us to be able to get the performance fee immediately after the performance."
"Because the settlement time agreed at that time was within a week."
After a pause, Zhang Ying also shook her head and said: "So, I don't know what the organizer means, but they have given enough sincerity."
"In order to be able to cooperate more with such an organizer, our band members, after receiving the settlement money, went to thank the organizer in person."
"I just discovered that in that living room, my father Zhang Guifa was also there."
"He looked at me and I knew what was going on?"
"It's your father helping you, right?" Yuan Shasha asked.
"Yes." Zhang Ying did not deny it, but said truthfully: "I found out later that the organizer was very considerate to my father."
"Moreover, my father also found me that day, talked to me for a long time, and asked me to return to him."
"But I told him clearly that that was impossible. No matter how bad my life was, I would never come back to him."
After a pause, Zhang Ying seemed to have thought of something? Then she said:
"Oh, by the way, I don't know if Vujicic had any contact with my father? However, after I left, the members of our band did not come out immediately."
"Perhaps it was my father who took the initiative to find Vujicic and ask him about the situation after he learned that our band was in a bad situation?"
"Because Vujicic had a relatively good relationship with me at the time, my father would probably ask Vujicic about everything about me."
Nodding silently and looking up at Gu Chen, Zhang Ying also continued: "That must be the case."
"Okay." After learning this situation, Gu Chen nodded silently and analyzed:
"In other words, Hu Zhe may have had brief contact with your father Zhang Guifa after that performance."
"And because Hu Zhe is a core member of your metal band and has a good relationship with you, so Zhang Guifa, who loves his daughter very much, asked him about everything about you through Hu Zhe?"
"Maybe." Looking at Gu Chen's analysis, Zhang Ying nodded slowly.
Gu Chen snapped his fingers and said, "In that case, at that time, perhaps your father, Zhang Guifa, had already left Hu Zhe's contact information."
"In the following days, maybe your father has been secretly helping you, or your band, through Vujicic."
"Ah?" Zhang Ying seemed to feel a little incredible after hearing this.
Officer Wang on the side also waved his hands and said: "I understand, Hu Zhe has been using his own money to fund your entire band."
"Even when your band can't continue to operate, pay living expenses to the members of your metal band."
"It seems that Hu Zhe is paying for it out of his own pocket. Maybe there is Zhang Guifa standing behind him."
"Yes." After Officer Wang finished speaking, Yuan Shasha on the side also echoed:
"It's very possible. In fact, that night, from the moment we saw Vujicic setting up a night market to do business, we felt like this. He had to pay out of his own pocket to maintain the entire metal band, and even prevent the band from disbanding."
"At that time, I felt that this Vujicic was working very hard, and at least he really loved the metal band."
"I also heard that he secretly used his wedding house as a mortgage loan. I feel that there may be something fishy in this."
"You mean..." Listening to Yuan Shasha's analysis, Zhang Ying seemed to feel that something was wrong.
After Yuan Shasha thought briefly for a few seconds, she waved her hands and said, "Maybe, Zhang Guifa is behind everything behind this."
"Let you believe that Vujicic has been actively using his own funds to help the band."
"But in fact, he did not mortgage his marital home, or in other words, his marital home was mortgaged to Zhang Guifa."
"Either Zhang Guifa deliberately asked Hu Zhe to use this cover to fund your band."
"Actually, I just want to use some means to help my daughter, that is, you Zhang Ying, to realize her music dream. Maybe this is really the case?"
After the words fell, the scene suddenly became quiet.
Listening to everyone's analysis, Zhang Ying felt more and more that the things she was exposed to were becoming increasingly unreal.
Gu Chen also reminded: "Zhang Ying, you don't have to worry too much about this. If you want to prove whether this conjecture is true? It's actually quite simple."
"You only need to investigate whether Hu Zhe's marital home is really used as a mortgage, and you can know the truth of the matter."
"Okay." Seeing what Gu Chen said, Zhang Ying no longer hesitated.
After just briefly calming down, Zhang Ying looked up at Gu Chen and said with a serious face:
"So Gu Bureau, do you think Hu Zhe is really communicating deeply with my father?"
"Yeah." Seeing Zhang Ying looking at him with a longing expression, Gu Chen said honestly:
"Based on the clues of our current investigation, Hu Zhe is very likely to be deeply involved in some of your father Zhang Guifa's criminal activities."
"Furthermore, it is very likely that Hu Zicic was killed by your father and silenced."
"Kill... kill and silence?" When she heard this sentence, Zhang Ying was so frightened that her whole body trembled, and she said in disbelief:
"You...did you make a mistake?"
Seeing that Gu Chen and others didn't answer, Zhang Ying also shook her head and said: "Although my father Zhang Guifa is a bastard, it is impossible for him to kill people and silence them?"
"I think you must have made a mistake. He won't do this. He won't."
"Then how much do you know about him?" Lu Weiwei asked.
But this question made Zhang Yingwen dumbfounded.
"So, you actually don't understand either, right?" Seeing this, Lu Weiwei said something more.
At this time, Zhang Ying slowly lowered her head, sighed heavily, and nodded in agreement:
"Okay, I admit, I don't know Zhang Guifa for a long time. Ever since he left my mother, I feel like he is a stranger."
"Everything he did before, I felt was extremely great, but after I learned the truth, everything he did, I felt full of lies."
"I even feel that he is a heinous liar. He deceived me, deceived my mother, and deceived everyone."
After venting her emotions, Zhang Ying felt much better.
After repeatedly trying to calm down her mood, Zhang Ying also faced Gu Chen and said seriously:
"Gu Ju, I admit that I don't understand the current Zhang Guifa. Everything he does, no matter how bastard he is, I won't question at all, because he is a bastard, a two-faced person who puts on a show."
