Feeling wronged, He Junchao's words on the phone were also emotional. Police officer Wang could feel He Junchao's eccentricity through the phone.
"All right, all right, you said that you have investigated everything, but according to our investigation, in fact, Yuan Jialiang came to Jiangnan City 15 years ago and stayed here for a while."
"According to the university roommate of the deceased Xiao Mengqi, Yuan Jialiang came to Jiangnan City after learning that Xiao Mengqi had broken up with her boyfriend Zhang Liang."
"However, the interaction between the two was so extraordinary that many local neighbors did not notice any abnormalities."
After a pause, Officer Wang said again: "In my opinion, this Yuan Jialiang is definitely not that simple."
"Hey, I said Old Wang, isn't that enough?" Seeing Police Officer Wang nagging for a long time, He Junchao on the other end of the phone couldn't help but say:
"This Yuan Jialiang didn't leave any clues on his identity information, so it's obvious that he never used relevant identity information in Jiangnan City."
"It's also possible that he deliberately hid his identity. Didn't we also experience this when we investigated other cases before?"
"Yes." Also reminded by He Junchao, Police Officer Wang Mao Sai suddenly realized, and also murmured:
"This Yuan Jialiang, if he has been active in Jiangnan City 15 years ago without leaving any traces, it can only show that he is hiding well."
"Otherwise, why did we feel from the very beginning that this is an unfamiliar provincial? Maybe he knew the situation in Wangchao Town very early?"
"I agree with Brother Wang's opinion." When Gu Chen heard Police Officer Wang's speech, he crossed his arms and said thoughtfully:
"We did ignore this situation. Before, everyone agreed that Yuan Jialiang, who lives in the hotel in Wangchao Town, might not be familiar with Wangchao Town."
"Going to pay homage to the tomb on the mountain shows that he knows the location, and maybe he doesn't need local guidance at all."
"In this way, it makes sense for him to secretly cooperate with the murderer to transport Zhao Xiaobin's body away."
Looking up at the crowd, Gu Chen said again: "This Yuan Jialiang was in Jiangnan City back then, and the work he was engaged in remains to be investigated."
"But, how to investigate? Fifteen years have passed, and not many people saw him in Jiangnan City back then, and it is estimated that it is even more impossible now." Xu Feng also expressed his attitude.
After all, any eucalyptus, once the age is very long, it will be very troublesome to investigate.
Why? Many investigations of old eucalyptus require a lot of energy to collect evidence, but the final results are often unsatisfactory.
It can only be said that there is some element of luck in what was broadcast on TV, how many years old eucalyptus was cracked together.
However, due to the limitations of handling conditions at the time and the impact of some missing evidence, it is difficult to handle cases as they are now.
But regardless of these, Gu Chen still insisted: "In my opinion, it is not difficult to find out these situations. Since Yuan Jialiang has been to Jiangnan City, even if his real purpose of coming here is to work, and because of the nature of the work, it is not difficult. would easily reveal it to others."
"Then, Xiao Mengqi is a threshold he can't get around."
"Even if Yuan Jialiang is busy at work, he will definitely go to Xiao Mengqi. This is for sure. Even if the frequency is small, he will definitely."
"But since Yuan Jialiang went to find Xiao Mengqi, someone must have seen it. What we need to find out now is what is Yuan Jialiang's job? This must be clarified."
"I'll let He Junchao think of a way." Seeing that Gu Chen's attitude was still firm, Police Officer Wang said while holding the phone.
He Junchao on the other end of the phone complained again and again after hearing the words: "How do you ask me to investigate? This requires you to go to the field to investigate."
"It's okay." Gu Chen walked to Police Officer Wang, and said to Officer Wang's mobile phone: "Senior Brother He, you can think of a way to see if you can find some other information?"
"Our side will also go to the field to investigate, and Master Xiao also said that he will come back tomorrow. At that time, it will be much easier to investigate with him as a guide."
"That's all right, I'll do my best." He Junchao didn't want to shirk his responsibility, and after greeting everyone for a while, he hung up the phone directly.
Zhang Wenxia walked to Gu Chen's side and reminded again: "Gu Chen, that Zhao Xiaobin's corpse, shouldn't you tell Zhao Changlin about it? After all, it is his son."
"Yes." Seeing that things have been arranged, Gu Chen also happened to have something to check with Zhao Changlin again, so he nodded in agreement:
"Senior Sister Zhang, call Zhao Changlin and ask him to come over at night, just him."
"Don't need Zhao Junbo to follow? Zhao Junbo has always been by Zhao Changlin's side." Zhang Wenxia reminded.
But Gu Chen shook his head: "Some things are better communicated one-on-one. Zhao Junbo's situation is a bit complicated."
"I now seriously suspect that Zhao Xiaobin's death may have something to do with him."
"If Zhao Junbo is allowed to follow at this time, it may affect Zhao Changlin's own judgment."
"Junior Brother Gu is right." Hearing Gu Chen's remarks, Lu Weiwei also walked to Gu Chen's side and said, "Zhao Junbo himself admitted that he thought about killing Zhao Xiaobin at that time."
"Although he confessed these things, he also denied the fact that he killed the man, but no matter what he said is true or not, the current corpse is Zhao Xiaobin. This is an ironclad fact."
"At this time, we need to let Zhao Changlin calmly come to accept the investigation, maybe it can provide us with some useful clues."
"Hmm." Listening to Lu Weiwei's explanation, Zhang Wenxia felt that it made sense, so she nodded in agreement:
"Alright then, I'll go to comrade Zhao Changlin and ask him to come to the police station."
After a brief communication in the office, everyone started their respective work.
At this moment, Gu Chen also called Police Officer Wang, Lu Weiwei, Yuan Shasha and Xu Feng aside, and reminded:
"I think the criminal investigation team should be transferred back to the sub-bureau now. The current investigation does not need to use so many resources."
"When necessary, let Director Zhao drop them all over."
"Alright." It feels like these days, the comrades of the criminal investigation team have been working continuously and have gained a lot.
The missing body has also been found.
But if they continue to stay here now, it seems that there are too many people and too few things.
It is not allowed to let everyone go back to rest temporarily. It is better to live in the police dormitory of the sub-bureau than to live in the conference room of the Wangchao Town Police Station.
So Police Officer Wang nodded in agreement and said, "I'm going to comrade them right now and let them return to the branch overnight."
"Leave our team here and continue to investigate the eucalyptus."
"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded slightly, and sat back on the sofa.
As time passed, members of the criminal investigation team of the Furong branch had also gathered in the parking lot of the police station compound in Wangchao Town.
Many don't carry many things, so just pack it up and start pulling it out immediately.
It was also after accepting Gu Chen's brief instructions that various police cars left the Wangchao Town Police Station one after another, heading towards the Furong Sub-bureau of Jiangnan City.
Just a few minutes after everyone left, a white mid-level car was slowly driving into the parking lot of the compound.
Gu Chen stood where he was, and saw that it was Zhao Changlin who opened the door, so he stepped forward and said, "Boss Zhao, are you here?"
"Officer Gu, is this true?" Zhao Changlin's eyes were red at the moment, as if he had just cried.
Gu Chen took a deep breath, looked at Lu Weiwei beside him, and said again: "Why don't we go in and talk about it?"
Zhao Changlin didn't reply, just nodded silently, and then walked tremblingly towards the office.
When he came to the director's office, Zhao Changlin was lying on the sofa with his whole body limp at the moment, and said with dull eyes, "That corpse is really my son Zhao Xiaobin?"
"Old Zhao, although we don't want this to happen, but...the fact is true."
"After the test at the technical department of the Municipal Bureau, it was found to be a high match with your DNA, which shows that the two of you may really be relatives."
"It seems that the content of that comic has really come true." Zhao Changlin looked at Gu Chen with red and swollen eyes.
Gu Chen can't say anything at the moment? He just nodded silently and said softly: "Generally speaking, this is the case."
"The scene in the "Ghost King" comic seems to be a true portrayal of your son Zhao Xiaobin."
"In the "Ghost King" comics, the corpse burned to death in the fire was swapped, but in reality, your son seems to have swapped it with that wandering artist."
"Furthermore, your son, Zhao Xiaobin, was probably hit in the back of the head with a blunt object and died on the spot."
"Then he was changed into the clothes of a vagabond artist, and then he was burnt to a charred corpse."
After a pause, Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Besides, the corpse was moved according to the comics. We also found the burial place based on the contents of the comics."
"So, the author of the cartoon, that is, Master Xiao's daughter Xiao Mengqi, may know everything that happened back then, so she drew all these things into her cartoon."
"But because she knew too much, she may have been killed."
"You... what did you say?" After listening to Gu Chen's words, which seemed to completely overturn the previous cognition, Zhao Changlin also said nervously:
"You mean...Old Xiao's daughter might have been murdered?"
"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded slightly.
Lu Weiwei on the side hurriedly said, "We asked Master Xiao's daughter's college classmates and roommates, and found a problem."
"That was the day before the death of Master Xiao's daughter, she and her best friend planned their future travel plans, talking and laughing."
"Just ask a woman who decides to commit suicide, is she so happy the first day? Since she has already chosen to kill herself, why is she still so happy?"
"And we found that Master Xiao's daughter, Xiao Mengqi, did think that her emotional problems caused her to be depressed for a while, but this was before."
"It was also because of Xiao Mengqi's mental depression that her later hit work, which is the best-selling Neon Kingdom's "Ghost King", a comic."
Seeing that Zhao Changlin was listening seriously, Lu Weiwei said again:
"Perhaps you don't know much about comics, and neither do I. At that time, Xiao Mengqi was hardly well-known in China, but she was very famous in the Neon Country."
"It also paid off nicely for her and made him a lot of money."
"It is precisely because of this that Xiao Mengqi was not depressed at all back then, and she was even full of expectations for the future. That's why she later discussed travel plans with her girlfriends."
"Yes." Seeing Lu Weiwei mentioning this, Yuan Shasha quickly echoed:
"Furthermore, our subsequent investigation and analysis revealed that the reason for Xiao Mengqi's suicide was not sufficient."
"According to Master Xiao himself, he said that his daughter Xiao Mengqi committed suicide by jumping into a river. Someone saw it with her own eyes. Everyone felt that she was confused because of her feelings and couldn't think about it. That's why she thought about it."
"But this kind of thinking is that these people just stay in the previous opinion. Maybe they, the neighbors, don't know at all how cool Xiao Mengqi is later?"
"That's why they spread all kinds of rumors, saying that Xiao Mengqi died of being trapped by love, and that they committed suicide. So far, they haven't found the first person who said they saw Xiao Mengqi jumping into the river."
Taking a deep breath, Yuan Shasha couldn't help but say, "So we suspect that the person who said he saw Xiao Mengqi jumping into the river to commit suicide may be the one following the rhythm, and may be the real murderer."
Hearing what everyone said, Zhao Changlin's hairs trembled immediately, and he couldn't believe it: "That is to say, all of this may not be as imagined before?"
"Your son is the corpse that was buried on the mountain for 15 years. This matter is not what you imagined, but it has not been confirmed by us in the end." Gu Chen also reminded.
"Yes, yes, yes, yes." Facing Gu Chen's explanation, Zhao Changlin seemed extremely convinced now.
After all, Gu Chen helped himself and found his son Zhao Xiaobin who had been missing for 15 years, which is amazing in itself.
You know, Zhao Changlin has traveled all over the country just looking for his son Zhao Xiaobin, but he still found nothing in the end.
However, through layers of reasoning and argumentation, Gu Chen finally detected that the DNA sample of the corpse highly matched Zhao Changlin's.
In Zhao Changlin's view, this is amazing, even beyond his imagination.
"Officer Gu, the reason you called me over so late is to inform me that my son Zhao Xiaobin has been found, right?"
"Yes, but there is one more thing that I need to calm down and discuss with you." Gu Chen also cut to the chase, and didn't want to play tricks with Zhao Changlin.
Zhao Changlin nodded silently, his mood was also up and down at the moment, he raised his head and asked Gu Chen: "Officer Gu, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask, I know everything."
"Okay." Seeing Zhao Changlin's cooperation, Gu Chen asked him first: "Have you ever thought about who killed your son, then changed clothes with a wandering entertainer, and finally burned your son into coke, but was killed?" Did everyone mistake him for a tramp? Have you ever thought about it?"
Gu Chen's words immediately stopped Zhao Changlin.
Zhao Changlin stared blankly at Gu Chen, as well as Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang, Yuan Shasha, Xu Feng and Zhang Wenxia.
He was panicking now, shaking his head and sighing: "I have thought about it, but I don't think it will be like this. In fact, I know that you may have suspected that the murderer is my adopted son Zhao Junbo, right?"
"So you know what we think?" Yuan Shasha was also a little surprised when she heard this.
But Zhao Changlin was not surprised and said: "The last time I came to your Wangchao Town Police Station, I stayed in the car. You called my godson Zhao Junbo to the office and asked for a long time."
"After he got back to the car, I asked him what was going on? He recounted to me all his experiences in the office."
"He said, you suspect that he did this, so you went to the orphanage where Zhao Junbo lived to investigate."
"You found out that Zhao Junbo was adopted twice and was abandoned twice, so you hold on to this and think that Zhao Xiaobin's disappearance is probably related to him, don't you?"
"So he, Zhao Junbo, told you all these things?" Originally, he thought that it would be best to let this kind of thing rot in his stomach.
It never occurred to him that this Zhao Junbo was very good at it, he was preconceived, and he directly told Zhao Changlin the whole story of what had happened.
Therefore, Lu Weiwei felt that this Zhao Junbo was really smart.
He knows that Zhao Changlin regards Zhao Junbo more than life now, especially since Zhao Junbo gave birth to a grandson for himself, and now the family is harmonious.
So Zhao Changlin would not believe that his own son, Zhao Xiaobin, might have been killed by Zhao Junbo.
Therefore, Zhao Junbo dared to blatantly tell Zhao Changlin all these things.
According to Zhao Changlin's character, he might be touched, but facing the adoptive son who has lived together for more than ten years, Zhao Changlin would be more or less suspicious.
Therefore, this is the headache for Gu Chen and the others.
Seeing that everyone was very clear about the matter, Gu Chen quickly explained: "That's right, the reason we called Zhao Junbo to the office last time was indeed because we investigated him."
"It can be said that from the old director of the orphanage, we did find many problems, especially Zhao Junbo's character, and some of his past experiences. How did he tell you these things?"
After the words fell, everyone immediately looked at Zhao Changlin again.
Zhao Changlin let out a long sigh, shook his head and said, "Junbo's life is miserable. He said that the first time he was adopted in an orphanage, he was subjected to various domestic violence by his adoptive parents, so that he was covered with scars."
"Fortunately, the orphanage took him in again, but the second time, he met a brother who bullied him, so he couldn't hold back for a while, and splashed hot water from the hot pot on his brother's face, causing his brother to be disfigured .”
"In the end, the family that adopted him, under pressure, sent him back to the orphanage, and said that from now on, they don't want to see Zhao Junbo again."
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Changlin said again: "That's what he told me, is it consistent with what you said?"
"That's right." From Zhao Changlin's mouth, Gu Chen probably knew that what Zhao Junbo recounted to Zhao Changlin almost restored the essence of his communication with Zhao Junbo in the office at that time.
But at this moment, Zhao Changlin covered his face with his hands, and said in pain: "Junbo was in great pain after he went back. He said his tragic experience, but he didn't expect that many years later, his scars would be exposed by your police."
"At that time, he was not yet ten years old, but every time he was afraid that others would mention the past, but last time, in the office, I don't blame you, but Junbo is really kind-hearted, I can't be wrong Human, he just lacked the care of his elders when he was a child, so it is impossible for him to commit the act of killing Zhao Xiaobin."
"Boss Zhao." Seeing that Zhao Changlin blocked everyone's thinking from the very beginning, Gu Chen was a little helpless.
Obviously, these things seemed to be caused by Zhao Changlin's brainwashing after Zhao Junbo went back.
But in line with the principle of seeking truth from facts, Gu Chen still said earnestly: "You think, maybe it's just your feeling, but what is the truth? We need to talk about evidence."
"However, during that time, he has been recovering from his injuries." Zhao Changlin said.
"However, during the recovery period, he can also meet Zhao Xiaobin, kill him, and then return to the hospital health center. This is completely possible." Gu Chen also confronted him, feeling that Zhao Changlin needed to calm down as soon as possible.
Zhao Changlin rubbed his face with his hands, and said in a heavy tone: "Zhao Junbo will kill Zhao Xiaobin? This... This is absolutely impossible."
Looking up at Gu Chen, Zhao Changlin said again: "Comrade police, are you making a mistake? My godson Zhao Junbo, he is such an outstanding person? I have lived with him for more than ten years, almost twenty years."
"Could it be that I have been father and son with a murderer who killed my son for the past twenty years?"
Seeing that Zhao Changlin was sobbing, as if he didn't want to accept this reality at all, Gu Chen also cut to the chase:
"Boss Zhao, I can understand your feelings. You are afraid, afraid that the truth is as we expected. The murderer may really be your adopted son Zhao Junbo."
"So, you are afraid, you don't dare to face it, so you instinctively hint to yourself, don't believe this result."
After a pause, Gu Chen said again: "But Boss Zhao, many things are not useful just because of emotion."
"If even you yourself refuse to believe it is true at the beginning, then no matter how we argue, you will instinctively reject it, and there will be subjective deviations."
"But what we need is your objective evaluation. The more objective the better, do you understand?"
After being lectured by Gu Chen, Zhao Changlin, who was still in endless sadness before, calmed down now.
Taking a deep breath and trying to calm himself down, Zhao Changlin said again:
"Okay, Officer Gu, I must be objective, so you can ask whatever you want?"
Seeing that Zhao Changlin's mood began to calm down, Gu Chen opened the notebook on the table and said:
"This Zhao Junbo, in the process of questioning him before, we mentioned his two tragic childhood experiences."
"We also sympathize with this, but the second time, pay attention, after being adopted for the second time, Zhao Junbo met the brother who liked to bully and insult him."
"At this time, Zhao Junbo remembered the experience of being beaten by his adoptive parents for the first time, so he couldn't restrain his inner anger and chose to fight back decisively."
"At this time, he succeeded. He ruined his brother's appearance and was sent back to the orphanage by his adoptive parents."
"But your son, Zhao Xiaobin, has a very similar personality and habits to the older brother in Zhao Junbo's second adoptive family."
"You have to know that the night before Zhao Xiaobin disappeared, because he was jealous of Zhao Junbo and gradually took over his position, after he got drunk, he openly insulted Zhao Junbo in the factory, and smashed the beer bottle on Zhao Junbo's face with his beer bottle. head on."
After a pause, Gu Chen said again: "It's not over yet, afterward Zhao Xiaobin slapped Zhao Junbo's face frantically again, isn't that enough to be insulting?"
"At this time, Zhao Junbo himself said that at that moment, he had the urge to kill Zhao Xiaobin. Did he tell you about this?"
Facing Gu Chen's question, Zhao Changlin red-eyed and nodded with a choked-up reply: "Yes."
"So, the next day, Zhao Xiaobin disappeared." Lu Weiwei said.
After the voice fell, the atmosphere in the office suddenly became quiet.
It seems that everyone is thinking about this question.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Gu Chen, who had been actively asking, said again: "We have confirmed Zhao Xiaobin's previous behavior. Although he also has festivals with other people, these festivals will not let these people Kill Zhao Xiaobin."
"In contrast to Zhao Junbo, Zhao Xiaobin vented his greatest anger on Zhao Junbo. At that moment, Zhao Junbo seemed to be free from the seal."
"The motive for the murder arose at that moment, and he even voluntarily admitted it himself."
"But after that, Zhao Xiaobin disappeared, and there was no news of him again."
"After that, there was the fire, which happened not long after."
Looking at Zhao Changlin, who is without a master, Gu Chen said again: "Boss Zhao, haven't you ever doubted it?"
"I……"
Facing Gu Chen's inquiry, Zhao Changlin was speechless again.
But after a while, he took the initiative to reply: "I have doubts. After all, I have doubted almost everyone who has a relationship with my son Zhao Xiaobin, including Zhao Xiaobin."
"Over the years, I have asked those who have conflicts with my son one by one. Although those people hate my son Zhao Xiaobin very much, the conflicts are not enough to kill him."
"As for my godson Zhao Junbo, he has been recovering from his injuries, so I didn't think about it."
Looking up at Gu Chen, Zhao Changlin said again: "So Officer Gu, do you think my son Zhao Xiaobin was probably killed by my godson Zhao Junbo?"
Gu Chen shook his head: "At present, we are only speculating, I want to see what you think."
"My thoughts?" Zhao Changlin said.
Gu Chen nodded silently: "However, from the look in your eyes, I know that you have also suspected it, but afterward, Zhao Junbo's various performances made you think less of it, right?"
"Uh……"
Gu Chen's voice on this side fell, and Zhao Changlin on the other side was speechless again.
Officer Wang, who had been observing the two of them, was holding back for a long time. Then he took a sip of tea and couldn't help but interjected:
"I can see it too, Boss Zhao, you don't believe in your bones that your godson Zhao Junbo would do this?"
"Although it feels like the truth of the matter may be like this, but you just dare not face it."
"Yes." I was also stimulated by Officer Wang's words. At this time, Zhao Changlin also sighed heavily, and then looked at everyone with a solemn expression, and said:
"I'm selfish. It's not that I didn't doubt Zhao Junbo, but...but..."
At the end of speaking, Zhao Changlin's nose was sore, he couldn't control his emotions, and tears fell from the corners of his eyes instantly.
Yuan Shasha hurriedly handed Zhao Changlin a napkin and asked him to wipe away his tears.
After Zhao Changlin wiped it, he put it on the tip of his nose and squeezed it hard to squeeze out the mucus, then he recovered and said:
"To be honest, I can't bear it. Zhao Junbo, my godson, I know him well. His nature is not bad."
"Those experiences before the age of 10 should not be brought to the present. He needs to be reborn and needs a new life."
"Besides, since Xiaobin disappeared, Junbo has worked hard at work. He really dedicated everything to the Ouhuang Furniture Factory. I really can't understand such a good person. Why does he kill people? murderer?"
"Okay." Feeling that it is difficult for him to make a breakthrough in this aspect, Gu Chen changed another question and continued to ask Zhao Changlin:
"Then let me ask you, Master Xiao's daughter, Xiao Mengqi, how much do you know?"
"I know this person, but I'm not familiar with him." Zhao Changlin said.
"Then does Zhao Junbo know her?" Gu Chen asked again.
This time, Zhao Changlin thought for a few seconds before slowly saying, "I seem to know him."
"What about the relationship?" Lu Weiwei said.
"The relationship... is not bad. After all, the two young people have their own goals. I feel good."
"Even at the beginning, I felt that they might still be a couple."
"What did you say?" Hearing Zhao Changlin's words, Police Officer Wang said in a daze, "You...you mean, your godson Zhao Junbo and Xiao Mengqi might still be a couple? "
"Uh! Is there... is there any problem?" I also felt that the police were too excited, and Zhao Changlin didn't know what was wrong with him?
Gu Chen took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and then said slowly: "Boss Zhao, we didn't understand these things before."
"Then can you tell us again, this Xiao Mengqi, how did she and your godson Zhao Junbo almost become a couple? When did they start?"
"this……"
Feeling a little embarrassed for himself, Zhao Changlin tried to think back for a few seconds, and then slowly said: "I remember, when we visited Lao Xiao's daughter in Chao Town, we thought it was a relationship problem, which made Lao Xiao feel depressed."
"At that time, Lao Xiao was also capable. He had worked in our Ouhuang Furniture Factory for a period of time."
After thinking about it, Zhao Changlin hurriedly said again: "Oh, by the way, when Xiao Mengqi was still studying, she would come to the factory to help her father Lao Xiao during the summer vacation."
"Because the age is similar to Zhao Junbo, when Xiao Mengqi was working in the factory during the summer vacation, she would ask Zhao Junbo for advice on any questions she didn't understand."
"The two came and went, and it was at this time that the two gradually became familiar with each other."
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Changlin thought about it again and said: "I remember that Zhao Junbo was a little inferior at that time, and felt that he was not good enough for Xiao Mengqi."
"So, in many cases, I will keep a certain distance from Xiao Mengqi, so that the relationship between the two will not be too bad, but it will not be very good."
"But later, Junbo heard that Xiao Mengqi had a boyfriend at school, and since then, Junbo didn't think about his relationship with Xiao Mengqi anymore."
"However, good luck tricks people, didn't Lao Xiao refuse to allow his daughter Xiao Mengqi to go to Hubei province and develop with her boyfriend?"
"So, later, the two had been in a long-distance relationship, so they broke up."
"Junbo heard about this, and slowly began to care about Xiao Mengqi again."
After a pause, Zhao Changlin also tried hard to recall, and then said: "During that time, I remember that Xiao Mengqi was depressed and shut herself at home."
"Junbo couldn't stand it anymore, so he often cared about her and enlightened her. It can be said that Xiao Mengqi's mood during that time was all due to Zhao Junbo."
"Then Zhao Junbo doesn't feel inferior at this time?" Yuan Shasha said.
"Is that the case?" Zhao Changlin nodded silently, and explained:
"Probably because Zhao Junbo performed well in the factory, I put him in a management position."
"Actually, Zhao Junbo was already the deputy director of the factory at that time, and I also adopted him as a foster son."
"With a godfather like me, this kid is more courageous, and he no longer wants to be as timid as before."
"In the end, Junbo's confidence seemed to inflate at that time, but later, after Xiaobin's disappearance and the fire, unexpectedly, Xiao Mengqi couldn't think about it, so she jumped into the river and committed suicide."
"So during that time, many people said that our Wangchao Town might be unlucky. Two lives were lost at once, and the whereabouts of one was unknown."
"Some superstitious old ladies even invited some magic sticks to their home to practice exorcism..."
"That is to say, Xiao Mengqi is actually very familiar with Zhao Junbo? The two have also developed a relationship, and they almost became lovers. Can I understand this?"
"Yes... yes." Zhao Changlin nodded silently.
"Very good." Gu Chen adjusted his breathing rhythm, recorded these on the back of the tongue, raised his head and said:
"Then can I understand it this way? In fact, after your son Zhao Xiaobin disappeared, this Xiao Mengqi, she knew that your son had been burned to a scorched corpse. She also knew that your son might have been attacked from behind and hit him. The back of her head, she knows it all."
"However, in order to protect someone and prevent someone from being caught, she chose to hide it, but her conscience couldn't bear it, so she expressed all the suppressed things in her heart with cartoons."
"After all, at that time, Xiao Mengqi used the name 'Chopin is not as sad as me' in her comics. Few people in the country know this name, but it is very famous in the Neon Kingdom."
"Moreover, Xiao Mengqi's works have always been serialized in Neon Country, which is not allowed in China. This also allows Xiao Mengqi to perfectly avoid the risk of leakage."
"Let the death of your son Zhao Xiaobin appear in the serial comics of the Neon Kingdom in the form of comics."
"And all of this, from beginning to end, Xiao Mengqi knew the truth, she was just protecting someone, and who do you think this person would be?"
"Difficult...could it be..."
Gu Chen has already said this, plus all kinds of reasonable reasoning and analysis before, Zhao Changlin can now guess the result with his toes.
"Speak out, you have to face it bravely." Gu Chen said.
Hearing this, Zhao Changlin also looked at Gu Chen with blurred eyes, and said tremblingly, "Could it be... Zhao Junbo? The person Xiao Mengqi wants to protect is Zhao Junbo?"
"Almost?" I also saw that Gu Chen gradually pieced together the fragmented clues with deciphering reasoning to form a complete set of clues.
Lu Weiwei on the side couldn't help but agree.
But at this moment, Zhao Changlin was like a frightened bird, sitting on the sofa dumbfounded, and seemed to be in meditation again.
Gu Chen hurriedly reminded: "Boss Zhao, Boss Zhao?"
"Ah?" Zhao Changlin came back to his senses, the bloodshot eyes were extremely obvious.
"Do you need me to explain more clearly?" Gu Chen asked.
"No... no need, no need." Zhao Changlin took a deep breath, his face turned blue, and said, "Perhaps, you are right."
"Zhao Junbo and Zhao Xiaobin, the two had formed a dispute because of what happened that night."
"Perhaps, freezing three feet didn't happen in a day. Perhaps, the complex relationship between two people showed signs a long time ago."
"Perhaps, because Zhao Junbo is good at forbearance, this didn't cause the situation to get out of control."
"But on that night, it seemed that all the balance was broken. Xiaobin lost control after drinking, which made Junbo feel the tragic experience of being adopted by a second family again."
"Perhaps, it was also at that time that Junbo came up with the idea of killing Xiaobin?"
Looking up at Gu Chen, Zhao Changlin said again: "Officer Gu, is it true that the person Xiao Mengqi wants to protect is Junbo?"
"At present, this is the case. Of course, this is also the most reasonable speculation. At least it shows that Xiao Mengqi wants to protect someone from the police."
"However, the creation made her leak all this, which led to her own fatal disaster."
"After all, Xiao Mengqi left too suddenly. Did she commit suicide by jumping into the river because of emotional problems? At least there is no definite explanation."
"Especially until now, even Master Xiao didn't know who saw his daughter committing suicide by jumping into the river with his own eyes. He also felt that he might have been led by someone back then."
"It's terrible, it's simply terrible." Hearing Gu Chen's remarks, Zhao Changlin's face turned blue, as if all kinds of thoughts in his mind were overwhelming at this moment.
The original cognition, all the original ideas, seem to have been fragmented.
After listening to Gu Chen's analysis, Police Officer Wang couldn't help interjecting: "Gu Chen, according to this meaning, Xiao Mengqi drew the whole process of Zhao Xiaobin's murder, and even the process of stealing and exchanging corpses. In my own comics."
"Finally discovered by the murderer, ruthlessly killed by the murderer, and faked as a false appearance of suicide, then this person may be Zhao Junbo in the end?"
"Yes, if Xiao Mengqi wants to protect that person and doesn't want that person to be hurt, at least the relationship between Xiao Mengqi and the murderer should be very good."
"If that's the case, in Jiangnan City, especially Wangchao Town, only Zhao Junbo agrees with this point. Of course, Yuan Jialiang also agrees. That's why the two groups of people are mixed together, and they seem to have some connection. "
Based on everyone's analysis, Yuan Shasha suddenly put together all the fragmented clues.
Of course, this is also what Gu Chen is thinking at the moment.

Feeling wronged, He Junchao's words on the phone were also emotional. Police officer Wang could feel He Junchao's eccentricity through the phone.
"All right, all right, you said that you have investigated everything, but according to our investigation, in fact, Yuan Jialiang came to Jiangnan City 15 years ago and stayed here for a while."
"According to the university roommate of the deceased Xiao Mengqi, Yuan Jialiang came to Jiangnan City after learning that Xiao Mengqi had broken up with her boyfriend Zhang Liang."
"However, the interaction between the two was so extraordinary that many local neighbors did not notice any abnormalities."
After a pause, Officer Wang said again: "In my opinion, this Yuan Jialiang is definitely not that simple."
"Hey, I said Old Wang, isn't that enough?" Seeing Police Officer Wang nagging for a long time, He Junchao on the other end of the phone couldn't help but say:
"This Yuan Jialiang didn't leave any clues on his identity information, so it's obvious that he never used relevant identity information in Jiangnan City."
"It's also possible that he deliberately hid his identity. Didn't we also experience this when we investigated other cases before?"
"Yes." Also reminded by He Junchao, Police Officer Wang Mao Sai suddenly realized, and also murmured:
"This Yuan Jialiang, if he has been active in Jiangnan City 15 years ago without leaving any traces, it can only show that he is hiding well."
"Otherwise, why did we feel from the very beginning that this is an unfamiliar provincial? Maybe he knew the situation in Wangchao Town very early?"
"I agree with Brother Wang's opinion." When Gu Chen heard Police Officer Wang's speech, he crossed his arms and said thoughtfully:
"We did ignore this situation. Before, everyone agreed that Yuan Jialiang, who lives in the hotel in Wangchao Town, might not be familiar with Wangchao Town."
"Going to pay homage to the tomb on the mountain shows that he knows the location, and maybe he doesn't need local guidance at all."
"In this way, it makes sense for him to secretly cooperate with the murderer to transport Zhao Xiaobin's body away."
Looking up at the crowd, Gu Chen said again: "This Yuan Jialiang was in Jiangnan City back then, and the work he was engaged in remains to be investigated."
"But, how to investigate? Fifteen years have passed, and not many people saw him in Jiangnan City back then, and it is estimated that it is even more impossible now." Xu Feng also expressed his attitude.
After all, any eucalyptus, once the age is very long, it will be very troublesome to investigate.
Why? Many investigations of old eucalyptus require a lot of energy to collect evidence, but the final results are often unsatisfactory.
It can only be said that there is some element of luck in what was broadcast on TV, how many years old eucalyptus was cracked together.
However, due to the limitations of handling conditions at the time and the impact of some missing evidence, it is difficult to handle cases as they are now.
But regardless of these, Gu Chen still insisted: "In my opinion, it is not difficult to find out these situations. Since Yuan Jialiang has been to Jiangnan City, even if his real purpose of coming here is to work, and because of the nature of the work, it is not difficult. would easily reveal it to others."
"Then, Xiao Mengqi is a threshold he can't get around."
"Even if Yuan Jialiang is busy at work, he will definitely go to Xiao Mengqi. This is for sure. Even if the frequency is small, he will definitely."
"But since Yuan Jialiang went to find Xiao Mengqi, someone must have seen it. What we need to find out now is what is Yuan Jialiang's job? This must be clarified."
"I'll let He Junchao think of a way." Seeing that Gu Chen's attitude was still firm, Police Officer Wang said while holding the phone.
He Junchao on the other end of the phone complained again and again after hearing the words: "How do you ask me to investigate? This requires you to go to the field to investigate."
"It's okay." Gu Chen walked to Police Officer Wang, and said to Officer Wang's mobile phone: "Senior Brother He, you can think of a way to see if you can find some other information?"
"Our side will also go to the field to investigate, and Master Xiao also said that he will come back tomorrow. At that time, it will be much easier to investigate with him as a guide."
"That's all right, I'll do my best." He Junchao didn't want to shirk his responsibility, and after greeting everyone for a while, he hung up the phone directly.
Zhang Wenxia walked to Gu Chen's side and reminded again: "Gu Chen, that Zhao Xiaobin's corpse, shouldn't you tell Zhao Changlin about it? After all, it is his son."
"Yes." Seeing that things have been arranged, Gu Chen also happened to have something to check with Zhao Changlin again, so he nodded in agreement:
"Senior Sister Zhang, call Zhao Changlin and ask him to come over at night, just him."
"Don't need Zhao Junbo to follow? Zhao Junbo has always been by Zhao Changlin's side." Zhang Wenxia reminded.
But Gu Chen shook his head: "Some things are better communicated one-on-one. Zhao Junbo's situation is a bit complicated."
"I now seriously suspect that Zhao Xiaobin's death may have something to do with him."
"If Zhao Junbo is allowed to follow at this time, it may affect Zhao Changlin's own judgment."
"Junior Brother Gu is right." Hearing Gu Chen's remarks, Lu Weiwei also walked to Gu Chen's side and said, "Zhao Junbo himself admitted that he thought about killing Zhao Xiaobin at that time."
"Although he confessed these things, he also denied the fact that he killed the man, but no matter what he said is true or not, the current corpse is Zhao Xiaobin. This is an ironclad fact."
"At this time, we need to let Zhao Changlin calmly come to accept the investigation, maybe it can provide us with some useful clues."
"Hmm." Listening to Lu Weiwei's explanation, Zhang Wenxia felt that it made sense, so she nodded in agreement:
"Alright then, I'll go to comrade Zhao Changlin and ask him to come to the police station."
After a brief communication in the office, everyone started their respective work.
At this moment, Gu Chen also called Police Officer Wang, Lu Weiwei, Yuan Shasha and Xu Feng aside, and reminded:
"I think the criminal investigation team should be transferred back to the sub-bureau now. The current investigation does not need to use so many resources."
"When necessary, let Director Zhao drop them all over."
"Alright." It feels like these days, the comrades of the criminal investigation team have been working continuously and have gained a lot.
The missing body has also been found.
But if they continue to stay here now, it seems that there are too many people and too few things.
It is not allowed to let everyone go back to rest temporarily. It is better to live in the police dormitory of the sub-bureau than to live in the conference room of the Wangchao Town Police Station.
So Police Officer Wang nodded in agreement and said, "I'm going to comrade them right now and let them return to the branch overnight."
"Leave our team here and continue to investigate the eucalyptus."
"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded slightly, and sat back on the sofa.
As time passed, members of the criminal investigation team of the Furong branch had also gathered in the parking lot of the police station compound in Wangchao Town.
Many don't carry many things, so just pack it up and start pulling it out immediately.
It was also after accepting Gu Chen's brief instructions that various police cars left the Wangchao Town Police Station one after another, heading towards the Furong Sub-bureau of Jiangnan City.
Just a few minutes after everyone left, a white mid-level car was slowly driving into the parking lot of the compound.
Gu Chen stood where he was, and saw that it was Zhao Changlin who opened the door, so he stepped forward and said, "Boss Zhao, are you here?"
"Officer Gu, is this true?" Zhao Changlin's eyes were red at the moment, as if he had just cried.
Gu Chen took a deep breath, looked at Lu Weiwei beside him, and said again: "Why don't we go in and talk about it?"
Zhao Changlin didn't reply, just nodded silently, and then walked tremblingly towards the office.
When he came to the director's office, Zhao Changlin was lying on the sofa with his whole body limp at the moment, and said with dull eyes, "That corpse is really my son Zhao Xiaobin?"
"Old Zhao, although we don't want this to happen, but...the fact is true."
"After the test at the technical department of the Municipal Bureau, it was found to be a high match with your DNA, which shows that the two of you may really be relatives."
"It seems that the content of that comic has really come true." Zhao Changlin looked at Gu Chen with red and swollen eyes.
Gu Chen can't say anything at the moment? He just nodded silently and said softly: "Generally speaking, this is the case."
"The scene in the "Ghost King" comic seems to be a true portrayal of your son Zhao Xiaobin."
"In the "Ghost King" comics, the corpse burned to death in the fire was swapped, but in reality, your son seems to have swapped it with that wandering artist."
"Furthermore, your son, Zhao Xiaobin, was probably hit in the back of the head with a blunt object and died on the spot."
"Then he was changed into the clothes of a vagabond artist, and then he was burnt to a charred corpse."
After a pause, Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Besides, the corpse was moved according to the comics. We also found the burial place based on the contents of the comics."
"So, the author of the cartoon, that is, Master Xiao's daughter Xiao Mengqi, may know everything that happened back then, so she drew all these things into her cartoon."
"But because she knew too much, she may have been killed."
"You... what did you say?" After listening to Gu Chen's words, which seemed to completely overturn the previous cognition, Zhao Changlin also said nervously:
"You mean...Old Xiao's daughter might have been murdered?"
"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded slightly.
Lu Weiwei on the side hurriedly said, "We asked Master Xiao's daughter's college classmates and roommates, and found a problem."
"That was the day before the death of Master Xiao's daughter, she and her best friend planned their future travel plans, talking and laughing."
"Just ask a woman who decides to commit suicide, is she so happy the first day? Since she has already chosen to kill herself, why is she still so happy?"
"And we found that Master Xiao's daughter, Xiao Mengqi, did think that her emotional problems caused her to be depressed for a while, but this was before."
"It was also because of Xiao Mengqi's mental depression that her later hit work, which is the best-selling Neon Kingdom's "Ghost King", a comic."
Seeing that Zhao Changlin was listening seriously, Lu Weiwei said again:
"Perhaps you don't know much about comics, and neither do I. At that time, Xiao Mengqi was hardly well-known in China, but she was very famous in the Neon Country."
"It also paid off nicely for her and made him a lot of money."
"It is precisely because of this that Xiao Mengqi was not depressed at all back then, and she was even full of expectations for the future. That's why she later discussed travel plans with her girlfriends."
"Yes." Seeing Lu Weiwei mentioning this, Yuan Shasha quickly echoed:
"Furthermore, our subsequent investigation and analysis revealed that the reason for Xiao Mengqi's suicide was not sufficient."
"According to Master Xiao himself, he said that his daughter Xiao Mengqi committed suicide by jumping into a river. Someone saw it with her own eyes. Everyone felt that she was confused because of her feelings and couldn't think about it. That's why she thought about it."
"But this kind of thinking is that these people just stay in the previous opinion. Maybe they, the neighbors, don't know at all how cool Xiao Mengqi is later?"
"That's why they spread all kinds of rumors, saying that Xiao Mengqi died of being trapped by love, and that they committed suicide. So far, they haven't found the first person who said they saw Xiao Mengqi jumping into the river."
Taking a deep breath, Yuan Shasha couldn't help but say, "So we suspect that the person who said he saw Xiao Mengqi jumping into the river to commit suicide may be the one following the rhythm, and may be the real murderer."
Hearing what everyone said, Zhao Changlin's hairs trembled immediately, and he couldn't believe it: "That is to say, all of this may not be as imagined before?"
"Your son is the corpse that was buried on the mountain for 15 years. This matter is not what you imagined, but it has not been confirmed by us in the end." Gu Chen also reminded.
"Yes, yes, yes, yes." Facing Gu Chen's explanation, Zhao Changlin seemed extremely convinced now.
After all, Gu Chen helped himself and found his son Zhao Xiaobin who had been missing for 15 years, which is amazing in itself.
You know, Zhao Changlin has traveled all over the country just looking for his son Zhao Xiaobin, but he still found nothing in the end.
However, through layers of reasoning and argumentation, Gu Chen finally detected that the DNA sample of the corpse highly matched Zhao Changlin's.
In Zhao Changlin's view, this is amazing, even beyond his imagination.
"Officer Gu, the reason you called me over so late is to inform me that my son Zhao Xiaobin has been found, right?"
"Yes, but there is one more thing that I need to calm down and discuss with you." Gu Chen also cut to the chase, and didn't want to play tricks with Zhao Changlin.
Zhao Changlin nodded silently, his mood was also up and down at the moment, he raised his head and asked Gu Chen: "Officer Gu, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask, I know everything."
"Okay." Seeing Zhao Changlin's cooperation, Gu Chen asked him first: "Have you ever thought about who killed your son, then changed clothes with a wandering entertainer, and finally burned your son into coke, but was killed?" Did everyone mistake him for a tramp? Have you ever thought about it?"
Gu Chen's words immediately stopped Zhao Changlin.
Zhao Changlin stared blankly at Gu Chen, as well as Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang, Yuan Shasha, Xu Feng and Zhang Wenxia.
He was panicking now, shaking his head and sighing: "I have thought about it, but I don't think it will be like this. In fact, I know that you may have suspected that the murderer is my adopted son Zhao Junbo, right?"
"So you know what we think?" Yuan Shasha was also a little surprised when she heard this.
But Zhao Changlin was not surprised and said: "The last time I came to your Wangchao Town Police Station, I stayed in the car. You called my godson Zhao Junbo to the office and asked for a long time."
"After he got back to the car, I asked him what was going on? He recounted to me all his experiences in the office."
"He said, you suspect that he did this, so you went to the orphanage where Zhao Junbo lived to investigate."
"You found out that Zhao Junbo was adopted twice and was abandoned twice, so you hold on to this and think that Zhao Xiaobin's disappearance is probably related to him, don't you?"
"So he, Zhao Junbo, told you all these things?" Originally, he thought that it would be best to let this kind of thing rot in his stomach.
It never occurred to him that this Zhao Junbo was very good at it, he was preconceived, and he directly told Zhao Changlin the whole story of what had happened.
Therefore, Lu Weiwei felt that this Zhao Junbo was really smart.
He knows that Zhao Changlin regards Zhao Junbo more than life now, especially since Zhao Junbo gave birth to a grandson for himself, and now the family is harmonious.
So Zhao Changlin would not believe that his own son, Zhao Xiaobin, might have been killed by Zhao Junbo.
Therefore, Zhao Junbo dared to blatantly tell Zhao Changlin all these things.
According to Zhao Changlin's character, he might be touched, but facing the adoptive son who has lived together for more than ten years, Zhao Changlin would be more or less suspicious.
Therefore, this is the headache for Gu Chen and the others.
Seeing that everyone was very clear about the matter, Gu Chen quickly explained: "That's right, the reason we called Zhao Junbo to the office last time was indeed because we investigated him."
"It can be said that from the old director of the orphanage, we did find many problems, especially Zhao Junbo's character, and some of his past experiences. How did he tell you these things?"
After the words fell, everyone immediately looked at Zhao Changlin again.
Zhao Changlin let out a long sigh, shook his head and said, "Junbo's life is miserable. He said that the first time he was adopted in an orphanage, he was subjected to various domestic violence by his adoptive parents, so that he was covered with scars."
"Fortunately, the orphanage took him in again, but the second time, he met a brother who bullied him, so he couldn't hold back for a while, and splashed hot water from the hot pot on his brother's face, causing his brother to be disfigured .”
"In the end, the family that adopted him, under pressure, sent him back to the orphanage, and said that from now on, they don't want to see Zhao Junbo again."
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Changlin said again: "That's what he told me, is it consistent with what you said?"
"That's right." From Zhao Changlin's mouth, Gu Chen probably knew that what Zhao Junbo recounted to Zhao Changlin almost restored the essence of his communication with Zhao Junbo in the office at that time.
But at this moment, Zhao Changlin covered his face with his hands, and said in pain: "Junbo was in great pain after he went back. He said his tragic experience, but he didn't expect that many years later, his scars would be exposed by your police."
"At that time, he was not yet ten years old, but every time he was afraid that others would mention the past, but last time, in the office, I don't blame you, but Junbo is really kind-hearted, I can't be wrong Human, he just lacked the care of his elders when he was a child, so it is impossible for him to commit the act of killing Zhao Xiaobin."
"Boss Zhao." Seeing that Zhao Changlin blocked everyone's thinking from the very beginning, Gu Chen was a little helpless.
Obviously, these things seemed to be caused by Zhao Changlin's brainwashing after Zhao Junbo went back.
But in line with the principle of seeking truth from facts, Gu Chen still said earnestly: "You think, maybe it's just your feeling, but what is the truth? We need to talk about evidence."
"However, during that time, he has been recovering from his injuries." Zhao Changlin said.
"However, during the recovery period, he can also meet Zhao Xiaobin, kill him, and then return to the hospital health center. This is completely possible." Gu Chen also confronted him, feeling that Zhao Changlin needed to calm down as soon as possible.
Zhao Changlin rubbed his face with his hands, and said in a heavy tone: "Zhao Junbo will kill Zhao Xiaobin? This... This is absolutely impossible."
Looking up at Gu Chen, Zhao Changlin said again: "Comrade police, are you making a mistake? My godson Zhao Junbo, he is such an outstanding person? I have lived with him for more than ten years, almost twenty years."
"Could it be that I have been father and son with a murderer who killed my son for the past twenty years?"
Seeing that Zhao Changlin was sobbing, as if he didn't want to accept this reality at all, Gu Chen also cut to the chase:
"Boss Zhao, I can understand your feelings. You are afraid, afraid that the truth is as we expected. The murderer may really be your adopted son Zhao Junbo."
"So, you are afraid, you don't dare to face it, so you instinctively hint to yourself, don't believe this result."
After a pause, Gu Chen said again: "But Boss Zhao, many things are not useful just because of emotion."
"If even you yourself refuse to believe it is true at the beginning, then no matter how we argue, you will instinctively reject it, and there will be subjective deviations."
"But what we need is your objective evaluation. The more objective the better, do you understand?"
After being lectured by Gu Chen, Zhao Changlin, who was still in endless sadness before, calmed down now.
Taking a deep breath and trying to calm himself down, Zhao Changlin said again:
"Okay, Officer Gu, I must be objective, so you can ask whatever you want?"
Seeing that Zhao Changlin's mood began to calm down, Gu Chen opened the notebook on the table and said:
"This Zhao Junbo, in the process of questioning him before, we mentioned his two tragic childhood experiences."
"We also sympathize with this, but the second time, pay attention, after being adopted for the second time, Zhao Junbo met the brother who liked to bully and insult him."
"At this time, Zhao Junbo remembered the experience of being beaten by his adoptive parents for the first time, so he couldn't restrain his inner anger and chose to fight back decisively."
"At this time, he succeeded. He ruined his brother's appearance and was sent back to the orphanage by his adoptive parents."
"But your son, Zhao Xiaobin, has a very similar personality and habits to the older brother in Zhao Junbo's second adoptive family."
"You have to know that the night before Zhao Xiaobin disappeared, because he was jealous of Zhao Junbo and gradually took over his position, after he got drunk, he openly insulted Zhao Junbo in the factory, and smashed the beer bottle on Zhao Junbo's face with his beer bottle. head on."
After a pause, Gu Chen said again: "It's not over yet, afterward Zhao Xiaobin slapped Zhao Junbo's face frantically again, isn't that enough to be insulting?"
"At this time, Zhao Junbo himself said that at that moment, he had the urge to kill Zhao Xiaobin. Did he tell you about this?"
Facing Gu Chen's question, Zhao Changlin red-eyed and nodded with a choked-up reply: "Yes."
"So, the next day, Zhao Xiaobin disappeared." Lu Weiwei said.
After the voice fell, the atmosphere in the office suddenly became quiet.
It seems that everyone is thinking about this question.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Gu Chen, who had been actively asking, said again: "We have confirmed Zhao Xiaobin's previous behavior. Although he also has festivals with other people, these festivals will not let these people Kill Zhao Xiaobin."
"In contrast to Zhao Junbo, Zhao Xiaobin vented his greatest anger on Zhao Junbo. At that moment, Zhao Junbo seemed to be free from the seal."
"The motive for the murder arose at that moment, and he even voluntarily admitted it himself."
"But after that, Zhao Xiaobin disappeared, and there was no news of him again."
"After that, there was the fire, which happened not long after."
Looking at Zhao Changlin, who is without a master, Gu Chen said again: "Boss Zhao, haven't you ever doubted it?"
"I……"
Facing Gu Chen's inquiry, Zhao Changlin was speechless again.
But after a while, he took the initiative to reply: "I have doubts. After all, I have doubted almost everyone who has a relationship with my son Zhao Xiaobin, including Zhao Xiaobin."
"Over the years, I have asked those who have conflicts with my son one by one. Although those people hate my son Zhao Xiaobin very much, the conflicts are not enough to kill him."
"As for my godson Zhao Junbo, he has been recovering from his injuries, so I didn't think about it."
Looking up at Gu Chen, Zhao Changlin said again: "So Officer Gu, do you think my son Zhao Xiaobin was probably killed by my godson Zhao Junbo?"
Gu Chen shook his head: "At present, we are only speculating, I want to see what you think."
"My thoughts?" Zhao Changlin said.
Gu Chen nodded silently: "However, from the look in your eyes, I know that you have also suspected it, but afterward, Zhao Junbo's various performances made you think less of it, right?"
"Uh……"
Gu Chen's voice on this side fell, and Zhao Changlin on the other side was speechless again.
Officer Wang, who had been observing the two of them, was holding back for a long time. Then he took a sip of tea and couldn't help but interjected:
"I can see it too, Boss Zhao, you don't believe in your bones that your godson Zhao Junbo would do this?"
"Although it feels like the truth of the matter may be like this, but you just dare not face it."
"Yes." I was also stimulated by Officer Wang's words. At this time, Zhao Changlin also sighed heavily, and then looked at everyone with a solemn expression, and said:
"I'm selfish. It's not that I didn't doubt Zhao Junbo, but...but..."
At the end of speaking, Zhao Changlin's nose was sore, he couldn't control his emotions, and tears fell from the corners of his eyes instantly.
Yuan Shasha hurriedly handed Zhao Changlin a napkin and asked him to wipe away his tears.
After Zhao Changlin wiped it, he put it on the tip of his nose and squeezed it hard to squeeze out the mucus, then he recovered and said:
"To be honest, I can't bear it. Zhao Junbo, my godson, I know him well. His nature is not bad."
"Those experiences before the age of 10 should not be brought to the present. He needs to be reborn and needs a new life."
"Besides, since Xiaobin disappeared, Junbo has worked hard at work. He really dedicated everything to the Ouhuang Furniture Factory. I really can't understand such a good person. Why does he kill people? murderer?"
"Okay." Feeling that it is difficult for him to make a breakthrough in this aspect, Gu Chen changed another question and continued to ask Zhao Changlin:
"Then let me ask you, Master Xiao's daughter, Xiao Mengqi, how much do you know?"
"I know this person, but I'm not familiar with him." Zhao Changlin said.
"Then does Zhao Junbo know her?" Gu Chen asked again.
This time, Zhao Changlin thought for a few seconds before slowly saying, "I seem to know him."
"What about the relationship?" Lu Weiwei said.
"The relationship... is not bad. After all, the two young people have their own goals. I feel good."
"Even at the beginning, I felt that they might still be a couple."
"What did you say?" Hearing Zhao Changlin's words, Police Officer Wang said in a daze, "You...you mean, your godson Zhao Junbo and Xiao Mengqi might still be a couple? "
"Uh! Is there... is there any problem?" I also felt that the police were too excited, and Zhao Changlin didn't know what was wrong with him?
Gu Chen took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and then said slowly: "Boss Zhao, we didn't understand these things before."
"Then can you tell us again, this Xiao Mengqi, how did she and your godson Zhao Junbo almost become a couple? When did they start?"
"this……"
Feeling a little embarrassed for himself, Zhao Changlin tried to think back for a few seconds, and then slowly said: "I remember, when we visited Lao Xiao's daughter in Chao Town, we thought it was a relationship problem, which made Lao Xiao feel depressed."
"At that time, Lao Xiao was also capable. He had worked in our Ouhuang Furniture Factory for a period of time."
After thinking about it, Zhao Changlin hurriedly said again: "Oh, by the way, when Xiao Mengqi was still studying, she would come to the factory to help her father Lao Xiao during the summer vacation."
"Because the age is similar to Zhao Junbo, when Xiao Mengqi was working in the factory during the summer vacation, she would ask Zhao Junbo for advice on any questions she didn't understand."
"The two came and went, and it was at this time that the two gradually became familiar with each other."
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Changlin thought about it again and said: "I remember that Zhao Junbo was a little inferior at that time, and felt that he was not good enough for Xiao Mengqi."
"So, in many cases, I will keep a certain distance from Xiao Mengqi, so that the relationship between the two will not be too bad, but it will not be very good."
"But later, Junbo heard that Xiao Mengqi had a boyfriend at school, and since then, Junbo didn't think about his relationship with Xiao Mengqi anymore."
"However, good luck tricks people, didn't Lao Xiao refuse to allow his daughter Xiao Mengqi to go to Hubei province and develop with her boyfriend?"
"So, later, the two had been in a long-distance relationship, so they broke up."
"Junbo heard about this, and slowly began to care about Xiao Mengqi again."
After a pause, Zhao Changlin also tried hard to recall, and then said: "During that time, I remember that Xiao Mengqi was depressed and shut herself at home."
"Junbo couldn't stand it anymore, so he often cared about her and enlightened her. It can be said that Xiao Mengqi's mood during that time was all due to Zhao Junbo."
"Then Zhao Junbo doesn't feel inferior at this time?" Yuan Shasha said.
"Is that the case?" Zhao Changlin nodded silently, and explained:
"Probably because Zhao Junbo performed well in the factory, I put him in a management position."
"Actually, Zhao Junbo was already the deputy director of the factory at that time, and I also adopted him as a foster son."
"With a godfather like me, this kid is more courageous, and he no longer wants to be as timid as before."
"In the end, Junbo's confidence seemed to inflate at that time, but later, after Xiaobin's disappearance and the fire, unexpectedly, Xiao Mengqi couldn't think about it, so she jumped into the river and committed suicide."
"So during that time, many people said that our Wangchao Town might be unlucky. Two lives were lost at once, and the whereabouts of one was unknown."
"Some superstitious old ladies even invited some magic sticks to their home to practice exorcism..."
"That is to say, Xiao Mengqi is actually very familiar with Zhao Junbo? The two have also developed a relationship, and they almost became lovers. Can I understand this?"
"Yes... yes." Zhao Changlin nodded silently.
"Very good." Gu Chen adjusted his breathing rhythm, recorded these on the back of the tongue, raised his head and said:
"Then can I understand it this way? In fact, after your son Zhao Xiaobin disappeared, this Xiao Mengqi, she knew that your son had been burned to a scorched corpse. She also knew that your son might have been attacked from behind and hit him. The back of her head, she knows it all."
"However, in order to protect someone and prevent someone from being caught, she chose to hide it, but her conscience couldn't bear it, so she expressed all the suppressed things in her heart with cartoons."
"After all, at that time, Xiao Mengqi used the name 'Chopin is not as sad as me' in her comics. Few people in the country know this name, but it is very famous in the Neon Kingdom."
"Moreover, Xiao Mengqi's works have always been serialized in Neon Country, which is not allowed in China. This also allows Xiao Mengqi to perfectly avoid the risk of leakage."
"Let the death of your son Zhao Xiaobin appear in the serial comics of the Neon Kingdom in the form of comics."
"And all of this, from beginning to end, Xiao Mengqi knew the truth, she was just protecting someone, and who do you think this person would be?"
"Difficult...could it be..."
Gu Chen has already said this, plus all kinds of reasonable reasoning and analysis before, Zhao Changlin can now guess the result with his toes.
"Speak out, you have to face it bravely." Gu Chen said.
Hearing this, Zhao Changlin also looked at Gu Chen with blurred eyes, and said tremblingly, "Could it be... Zhao Junbo? The person Xiao Mengqi wants to protect is Zhao Junbo?"
"Almost?" I also saw that Gu Chen gradually pieced together the fragmented clues with deciphering reasoning to form a complete set of clues.
Lu Weiwei on the side couldn't help but agree.
But at this moment, Zhao Changlin was like a frightened bird, sitting on the sofa dumbfounded, and seemed to be in meditation again.
Gu Chen hurriedly reminded: "Boss Zhao, Boss Zhao?"
"Ah?" Zhao Changlin came back to his senses, the bloodshot eyes were extremely obvious.
"Do you need me to explain more clearly?" Gu Chen asked.
"No... no need, no need." Zhao Changlin took a deep breath, his face turned blue, and said, "Perhaps, you are right."
"Zhao Junbo and Zhao Xiaobin, the two had formed a dispute because of what happened that night."
"Perhaps, freezing three feet didn't happen in a day. Perhaps, the complex relationship between two people showed signs a long time ago."
"Perhaps, because Zhao Junbo is good at forbearance, this didn't cause the situation to get out of control."
"But on that night, it seemed that all the balance was broken. Xiaobin lost control after drinking, which made Junbo feel the tragic experience of being adopted by a second family again."
"Perhaps, it was also at that time that Junbo came up with the idea of killing Xiaobin?"
Looking up at Gu Chen, Zhao Changlin said again: "Officer Gu, is it true that the person Xiao Mengqi wants to protect is Junbo?"
"At present, this is the case. Of course, this is also the most reasonable speculation. At least it shows that Xiao Mengqi wants to protect someone from the police."
"However, the creation made her leak all this, which led to her own fatal disaster."
"After all, Xiao Mengqi left too suddenly. Did she commit suicide by jumping into the river because of emotional problems? At least there is no definite explanation."
"Especially until now, even Master Xiao didn't know who saw his daughter committing suicide by jumping into the river with his own eyes. He also felt that he might have been led by someone back then."
"It's terrible, it's simply terrible." Hearing Gu Chen's remarks, Zhao Changlin's face turned blue, as if all kinds of thoughts in his mind were overwhelming at this moment.
The original cognition, all the original ideas, seem to have been fragmented.
After listening to Gu Chen's analysis, Police Officer Wang couldn't help interjecting: "Gu Chen, according to this meaning, Xiao Mengqi drew the whole process of Zhao Xiaobin's murder, and even the process of stealing and exchanging corpses. In my own comics."
"Finally discovered by the murderer, ruthlessly killed by the murderer, and faked as a false appearance of suicide, then this person may be Zhao Junbo in the end?"
"Yes, if Xiao Mengqi wants to protect that person and doesn't want that person to be hurt, at least the relationship between Xiao Mengqi and the murderer should be very good."
"If that's the case, in Jiangnan City, especially Wangchao Town, only Zhao Junbo agrees with this point. Of course, Yuan Jialiang also agrees. That's why the two groups of people are mixed together, and they seem to have some connection. "
Based on everyone's analysis, Yuan Shasha suddenly put together all the fragmented clues.
Of course, this is also what Gu Chen is thinking at the moment.

Feeling wronged, He Junchao's words on the phone were also emotional. Police officer Wang could feel He Junchao's eccentricity through the phone. "All right, all right, you said that you have investigated everything, but according to our investigation, in fact, Yuan Jialiang came to Jiangnan City 15 years ago and stayed here for a while." "According to the university roommate of the deceased Xiao Mengqi, Yuan Jialiang came to Jiangnan City after learning that Xiao Mengqi had broken up with her boyfriend Zhang Liang." "However, the interaction between the two was so extraordinary that many local neighbors did not notice any abnormalities." After a pause, Officer Wang said again: "In my opinion, this Yuan Jialiang is definitely not that simple." "Hey, I said Old Wang, isn't that enough?" Seeing Police Officer Wang nagging for a long time, He Junchao on the other end of the phone couldn't help but say: "This Yuan Jialiang didn't leave any clues on his identity information, so it's obvious that he never used relevant identity information in Jiangnan City." "It's also possible that he deliberately hid his identity. Didn't we also experience this when we investigated other cases before?" "Yes." Also reminded by He Junchao, Police Officer Wang Mao Sai suddenly realized, and also murmured: "This Yuan Jialiang, if he has been active in Jiangnan City 15 years ago without leaving any traces, it can only show that he is hiding well." "Otherwise, why did we feel from the very beginning that this is an unfamiliar provincial? Maybe he knew the situation in Wangchao Town very early?" "I agree with Brother Wang's opinion." When Gu Chen heard Police Officer Wang's speech, he crossed his arms and said thoughtfully: "We did ignore this situation. Before, everyone agreed that Yuan Jialiang, who lives in the hotel in Wangchao Town, might not be familiar with Wangchao Town." "Going to pay homage to the tomb on the mountain shows that he knows the location, and maybe he doesn't need local guidance at all." "In this way, it makes sense for him to secretly cooperate with the murderer to transport Zhao Xiaobin's body away." Looking up at the crowd, Gu Chen said again: "This Yuan Jialiang was in Jiangnan City back then, and the work he was engaged in remains to be investigated." "But, how to investigate? Fifteen years have passed, and not many people saw him in Jiangnan City back then, and it is estimated that it is even more impossible now." Xu Feng also expressed his attitude. After all, any eucalyptus, once the age is very long, it will be very troublesome to investigate. Why? Many investigations of old eucalyptus require a lot of energy to collect evidence, but the final results are often unsatisfactory. It can only be said that there is some element of luck in what was broadcast on TV, how many years old eucalyptus was cracked together. However, due to the limitations of handling conditions at the time and the impact of some missing evidence, it is difficult to handle cases as they are now. But regardless of these, Gu Chen still insisted: "In my opinion, it is not difficult to find out these situations. Since Yuan Jialiang has been to Jiangnan City, even if his real purpose of coming here is to work, and because of the nature of the work, it is not difficult. would easily reveal it to others." "Then, Xiao Mengqi is a threshold he can't get around." "Even if Yuan Jialiang is busy at work, he will definitely go to Xiao Mengqi. This is for sure. Even if the frequency is small, he will definitely." "But since Yuan Jialiang went to find Xiao Mengqi, someone must have seen it. What we need to find out now is what is Yuan Jialiang's job? This must be clarified." "I'll let He Junchao think of a way." Seeing that Gu Chen's attitude was still firm, Police Officer Wang said while holding the phone. He Junchao on the other end of the phone complained again and again after hearing the words: "How do you ask me to investigate? This requires you to go to the field to investigate." "It's okay." Gu Chen walked to Police Officer Wang, and said to Officer Wang's mobile phone: "Senior Brother He, you can think of a way to see if you can find some other information?" "Our side will also go to the field to investigate, and Master Xiao also said that he will come back tomorrow. At that time, it will be much easier to investigate with him as a guide." "That's all right, I'll do my best." He Junchao didn't want to shirk his responsibility, and after greeting everyone for a while, he hung up the phone directly. Zhang Wenxia walked to Gu Chen's side and reminded again: "Gu Chen, that Zhao Xiaobin's corpse, shouldn't you tell Zhao Changlin about it? After all, it is his son." "Yes." Seeing that things have been arranged, Gu Chen also happened to have something to check with Zhao Changlin again, so he nodded in agreement: "Senior Sister Zhang, call Zhao Changlin and ask him to come over at night, just him." "Don't need Zhao Junbo to follow? Zhao Junbo has always been by Zhao Changlin's side." Zhang Wenxia reminded. But Gu Chen shook his head: "Some things are better communicated one-on-one. Zhao Junbo's situation is a bit complicated." "I now seriously suspect that Zhao Xiaobin's death may have something to do with him." "If Zhao Junbo is allowed to follow at this time, it may affect Zhao Changlin's own judgment." "Junior Brother Gu is right." Hearing Gu Chen's remarks, Lu Weiwei also walked to Gu Chen's side and said, "Zhao Junbo himself admitted that he thought about killing Zhao Xiaobin at that time." "Although he confessed these things, he also denied the fact that he killed the man, but no matter what he said is true or not, the current corpse is Zhao Xiaobin. This is an ironclad fact." "At this time, we need to let Zhao Changlin calmly come to accept the investigation, maybe it can provide us with some useful clues." "Hmm." Listening to Lu Weiwei's explanation, Zhang Wenxia felt that it made sense, so she nodded in agreement: "Alright then, I'll go to comrade Zhao Changlin and ask him to come to the police station." After a brief communication in the office, everyone started their respective work. At this moment, Gu Chen also called Police Officer Wang, Lu Weiwei, Yuan Shasha and Xu Feng aside, and reminded: "I think the criminal investigation team should be transferred back to the sub-bureau now. The current investigation does not need to use so many resources." "When necessary, let Director Zhao drop them all over." "Alright." It feels like these days, the comrades of the criminal investigation team have been working continuously and have gained a lot. The missing body has also been found. But if they continue to stay here now, it seems that there are too many people and too few things. It is not allowed to let everyone go back to rest temporarily. It is better to live in the police dormitory of the sub-bureau than to live in the conference room of the Wangchao Town Police Station. So Police Officer Wang nodded in agreement and said, "I'm going to comrade them right now and let them return to the branch overnight." "Leave our team here and continue to investigate the eucalyptus." "Yeah." Gu Chen nodded slightly, and sat back on the sofa. As time passed, members of the criminal investigation team of the Furong branch had also gathered in the parking lot of the police station compound in Wangchao Town. Many don't carry many things, so just pack it up and start pulling it out immediately. It was also after accepting Gu Chen's brief instructions that various police cars left the Wangchao Town Police Station one after another, heading towards the Furong Sub-bureau of Jiangnan City. Just a few minutes after everyone left, a white mid-level car was slowly driving into the parking lot of the compound. Gu Chen stood where he was, and saw that it was Zhao Changlin who opened the door, so he stepped forward and said, "Boss Zhao, are you here?" "Officer Gu, is this true?" Zhao Changlin's eyes were red at the moment, as if he had just cried. Gu Chen took a deep breath, looked at Lu Weiwei beside him, and said again: "Why don't we go in and talk about it?" Zhao Changlin didn't reply, just nodded silently, and then walked tremblingly towards the office. When he came to the director's office, Zhao Changlin was lying on the sofa with his whole body limp at the moment, and said with dull eyes, "That corpse is really my son Zhao Xiaobin?" "Old Zhao, although we don't want this to happen, but...the fact is true." "After the test at the technical department of the Municipal Bureau, it was found to be a high match with your DNA, which shows that the two of you may really be relatives." "It seems that the content of that comic has really come true." Zhao Changlin looked at Gu Chen with red and swollen eyes. Gu Chen can't say anything at the moment? He just nodded silently and said softly: "Generally speaking, this is the case." "The scene in the "Ghost King" comic seems to be a true portrayal of your son Zhao Xiaobin." "In the "Ghost King" comics, the corpse burned to death in the fire was swapped, but in reality, your son seems to have swapped it with that wandering artist." "Furthermore, your son, Zhao Xiaobin, was probably hit in the back of the head with a blunt object and died on the spot." "Then he was changed into the clothes of a vagabond artist, and then he was burnt to a charred corpse." After a pause, Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Besides, the corpse was moved according to the comics. We also found the burial place based on the contents of the comics." "So, the author of the cartoon, that is, Master Xiao's daughter Xiao Mengqi, may know everything that happened back then, so she drew all these things into her cartoon." "But because she knew too much, she may have been killed." "You... what did you say?" After listening to Gu Chen's words, which seemed to completely overturn the previous cognition, Zhao Changlin also said nervously: "You mean...Old Xiao's daughter might have been murdered?" "Yeah." Gu Chen nodded slightly. Lu Weiwei on the side hurriedly said, "We asked Master Xiao's daughter's college classmates and roommates, and found a problem." "That was the day before the death of Master Xiao's daughter, she and her best friend planned their future travel plans, talking and laughing." "Just ask a woman who decides to commit suicide, is she so happy the first day? Since she has already chosen to kill herself, why is she still so happy?" "And we found that Master Xiao's daughter, Xiao Mengqi, did think that her emotional problems caused her to be depressed for a while, but this was before." "It was also because of Xiao Mengqi's mental depression that her later hit work, which is the best-selling Neon Kingdom's "Ghost King", a comic." Seeing that Zhao Changlin was listening seriously, Lu Weiwei said again: "Perhaps you don't know much about comics, and neither do I. At that time, Xiao Mengqi was hardly well-known in China, but she was very famous in the Neon Country." "It also paid off nicely for her and made him a lot of money." "It is precisely because of this that Xiao Mengqi was not depressed at all back then, and she was even full of expectations for the future. That's why she later discussed travel plans with her girlfriends." "Yes." Seeing Lu Weiwei mentioning this, Yuan Shasha quickly echoed: "Furthermore, our subsequent investigation and analysis revealed that the reason for Xiao Mengqi's suicide was not sufficient." "According to Master Xiao himself, he said that his daughter Xiao Mengqi committed suicide by jumping into a river. Someone saw it with her own eyes. Everyone felt that she was confused because of her feelings and couldn't think about it. That's why she thought about it." "But this kind of thinking is that these people just stay in the previous opinion. Maybe they, the neighbors, don't know at all how cool Xiao Mengqi is later?" "That's why they spread all kinds of rumors, saying that Xiao Mengqi died of being trapped by love, and that they committed suicide. So far, they haven't found the first person who said they saw Xiao Mengqi jumping into the river." Taking a deep breath, Yuan Shasha couldn't help but say, "So we suspect that the person who said he saw Xiao Mengqi jumping into the river to commit suicide may be the one following the rhythm, and may be the real murderer." Hearing what everyone said, Zhao Changlin's hairs trembled immediately, and he couldn't believe it: "That is to say, all of this may not be as imagined before?" "Your son is the corpse that was buried on the mountain for 15 years. This matter is not what you imagined, but it has not been confirmed by us in the end." Gu Chen also reminded. "Yes, yes, yes, yes." Facing Gu Chen's explanation, Zhao Changlin seemed extremely convinced now. After all, Gu Chen helped himself and found his son Zhao Xiaobin who had been missing for 15 years, which is amazing in itself. You know, Zhao Changlin has traveled all over the country just looking for his son Zhao Xiaobin, but he still found nothing in the end. However, through layers of reasoning and argumentation, Gu Chen finally detected that the DNA sample of the corpse highly matched Zhao Changlin's. In Zhao Changlin's view, this is amazing, even beyond his imagination. "Officer Gu, the reason you called me over so late is to inform me that my son Zhao Xiaobin has been found, right?" "Yes, but there is one more thing that I need to calm down and discuss with you." Gu Chen also cut to the chase, and didn't want to play tricks with Zhao Changlin. Zhao Changlin nodded silently, his mood was also up and down at the moment, he raised his head and asked Gu Chen: "Officer Gu, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask, I know everything." "Okay." Seeing Zhao Changlin's cooperation, Gu Chen asked him first: "Have you ever thought about who killed your son, then changed clothes with a wandering entertainer, and finally burned your son into coke, but was killed?" Did everyone mistake him for a tramp? Have you ever thought about it?" Gu Chen's words immediately stopped Zhao Changlin. Zhao Changlin stared blankly at Gu Chen, as well as Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang, Yuan Shasha, Xu Feng and Zhang Wenxia. He was panicking now, shaking his head and sighing: "I have thought about it, but I don't think it will be like this. In fact, I know that you may have suspected that the murderer is my adopted son Zhao Junbo, right?" "So you know what we think?" Yuan Shasha was also a little surprised when she heard this. But Zhao Changlin was not surprised and said: "The last time I came to your Wangchao Town Police Station, I stayed in the car. You called my godson Zhao Junbo to the office and asked for a long time." "After he got back to the car, I asked him what was going on? He recounted to me all his experiences in the office." "He said, you suspect that he did this, so you went to the orphanage where Zhao Junbo lived to investigate." "You found out that Zhao Junbo was adopted twice and was abandoned twice, so you hold on to this and think that Zhao Xiaobin's disappearance is probably related to him, don't you?" "So he, Zhao Junbo, told you all these things?" Originally, he thought that it would be best to let this kind of thing rot in his stomach. It never occurred to him that this Zhao Junbo was very good at it, he was preconceived, and he directly told Zhao Changlin the whole story of what had happened. Therefore, Lu Weiwei felt that this Zhao Junbo was really smart. He knows that Zhao Changlin regards Zhao Junbo more than life now, especially since Zhao Junbo gave birth to a grandson for himself, and now the family is harmonious. So Zhao Changlin would not believe that his own son, Zhao Xiaobin, might have been killed by Zhao Junbo. Therefore, Zhao Junbo dared to blatantly tell Zhao Changlin all these things. According to Zhao Changlin's character, he might be touched, but facing the adoptive son who has lived together for more than ten years, Zhao Changlin would be more or less suspicious. Therefore, this is the headache for Gu Chen and the others. Seeing that everyone was very clear about the matter, Gu Chen quickly explained: "That's right, the reason we called Zhao Junbo to the office last time was indeed because we investigated him." "It can be said that from the old director of the orphanage, we did find many problems, especially Zhao Junbo's character, and some of his past experiences. How did he tell you these things?" After the words fell, everyone immediately looked at Zhao Changlin again. Zhao Changlin let out a long sigh, shook his head and said, "Junbo's life is miserable. He said that the first time he was adopted in an orphanage, he was subjected to various domestic violence by his adoptive parents, so that he was covered with scars." "Fortunately, the orphanage took him in again, but the second time, he met a brother who bullied him, so he couldn't hold back for a while, and splashed hot water from the hot pot on his brother's face, causing his brother to be disfigured . "In the end, the family that adopted him, under pressure, sent him back to the orphanage, and said that from now on, they don't want to see Zhao Junbo again." Taking a deep breath, Zhao Changlin said again: "That's what he told me, is it consistent with what you said?" "That's right." From Zhao Changlin's mouth, Gu Chen probably knew that what Zhao Junbo recounted to Zhao Changlin almost restored the essence of his communication with Zhao Junbo in the office at that time. But at this moment, Zhao Changlin covered his face with his hands, and said in pain: "Junbo was in great pain after he went back. He said his tragic experience, but he didn't expect that many years later, his scars would be exposed by your police." "At that time, he was not yet ten years old, but every time he was afraid that others would mention the past, but last time, in the office, I don't blame you, but Junbo is really kind-hearted, I can't be wrong Human, he just lacked the care of his elders when he was a child, so it is impossible for him to commit the act of killing Zhao Xiaobin." "Boss Zhao." Seeing that Zhao Changlin blocked everyone's thinking from the very beginning, Gu Chen was a little helpless. Obviously, these things seemed to be caused by Zhao Changlin's brainwashing after Zhao Junbo went back. But in line with the principle of seeking truth from facts, Gu Chen still said earnestly: "You think, maybe it's just your feeling, but what is the truth? We need to talk about evidence." "However, during that time, he has been recovering from his injuries." Zhao Changlin said. "However, during the recovery period, he can also meet Zhao Xiaobin, kill him, and then return to the hospital health center. This is completely possible." Gu Chen also confronted him, feeling that Zhao Changlin needed to calm down as soon as possible. Zhao Changlin rubbed his face with his hands, and said in a heavy tone: "Zhao Junbo will kill Zhao Xiaobin? This... This is absolutely impossible." Looking up at Gu Chen, Zhao Changlin said again: "Comrade police, are you making a mistake? My godson Zhao Junbo, he is such an outstanding person? I have lived with him for more than ten years, almost twenty years." "Could it be that I have been father and son with a murderer who killed my son for the past twenty years?" Seeing that Zhao Changlin was sobbing, as if he didn't want to accept this reality at all, Gu Chen also cut to the chase: "Boss Zhao, I can understand your feelings. You are afraid, afraid that the truth is as we expected. The murderer may really be your adopted son Zhao Junbo." "So, you are afraid, you don't dare to face it, so you instinctively hint to yourself, don't believe this result." After a pause, Gu Chen said again: "But Boss Zhao, many things are not useful just because of emotion." "If even you yourself refuse to believe it is true at the beginning, then no matter how we argue, you will instinctively reject it, and there will be subjective deviations." "But what we need is your objective evaluation. The more objective the better, do you understand?" After being lectured by Gu Chen, Zhao Changlin, who was still in endless sadness before, calmed down now. Taking a deep breath and trying to calm himself down, Zhao Changlin said again: "Okay, Officer Gu, I must be objective, so you can ask whatever you want?" Seeing that Zhao Changlin's mood began to calm down, Gu Chen opened the notebook on the table and said: "This Zhao Junbo, in the process of questioning him before, we mentioned his two tragic childhood experiences." "We also sympathize with this, but the second time, pay attention, after being adopted for the second time, Zhao Junbo met the brother who liked to bully and insult him." "At this time, Zhao Junbo remembered the experience of being beaten by his adoptive parents for the first time, so he couldn't restrain his inner anger and chose to fight back decisively." "At this time, he succeeded. He ruined his brother's appearance and was sent back to the orphanage by his adoptive parents." "But your son, Zhao Xiaobin, has a very similar personality and habits to the older brother in Zhao Junbo's second adoptive family." "You have to know that the night before Zhao Xiaobin disappeared, because he was jealous of Zhao Junbo and gradually took over his position, after he got drunk, he openly insulted Zhao Junbo in the factory, and smashed the beer bottle on Zhao Junbo's face with his beer bottle. head on." After a pause, Gu Chen said again: "It's not over yet, afterward Zhao Xiaobin slapped Zhao Junbo's face frantically again, isn't that enough to be insulting?" "At this time, Zhao Junbo himself said that at that moment, he had the urge to kill Zhao Xiaobin. Did he tell you about this?" Facing Gu Chen's question, Zhao Changlin red-eyed and nodded with a choked-up reply: "Yes." "So, the next day, Zhao Xiaobin disappeared." Lu Weiwei said. After the voice fell, the atmosphere in the office suddenly became quiet. It seems that everyone is thinking about this question. Seeing that everyone was silent, Gu Chen, who had been actively asking, said again: "We have confirmed Zhao Xiaobin's previous behavior. Although he also has festivals with other people, these festivals will not let these people Kill Zhao Xiaobin." "In contrast to Zhao Junbo, Zhao Xiaobin vented his greatest anger on Zhao Junbo. At that moment, Zhao Junbo seemed to be free from the seal." "The motive for the murder arose at that moment, and he even voluntarily admitted it himself." "But after that, Zhao Xiaobin disappeared, and there was no news of him again." "After that, there was the fire, which happened not long after." Looking at Zhao Changlin, who is without a master, Gu Chen said again: "Boss Zhao, haven't you ever doubted it?" "I" Facing Gu Chen's inquiry, Zhao Changlin was speechless again. But after a while, he took the initiative to reply: "I have doubts. After all, I have doubted almost everyone who has a relationship with my son Zhao Xiaobin, including Zhao Xiaobin." "Over the years, I have asked those who have conflicts with my son one by one. Although those people hate my son Zhao Xiaobin very much, the conflicts are not enough to kill him." "As for my godson Zhao Junbo, he has been recovering from his injuries, so I didn't think about it." Looking up at Gu Chen, Zhao Changlin said again: "So Officer Gu, do you think my son Zhao Xiaobin was probably killed by my godson Zhao Junbo?" Gu Chen shook his head: "At present, we are only speculating, I want to see what you think." "My thoughts?" Zhao Changlin said. Gu Chen nodded silently: "However, from the look in your eyes, I know that you have also suspected it, but afterward, Zhao Junbo's various performances made you think less of it, right?" "Uh" Gu Chen's voice on this side fell, and Zhao Changlin on the other side was speechless again. Officer Wang, who had been observing the two of them, was holding back for a long time. Then he took a sip of tea and couldn't help but interjected: "I can see it too, Boss Zhao, you don't believe in your bones that your godson Zhao Junbo would do this?" "Although it feels like the truth of the matter may be like this, but you just dare not face it." "Yes." I was also stimulated by Officer Wang's words. At this time, Zhao Changlin also sighed heavily, and then looked at everyone with a solemn expression, and said: "I'm selfish. It's not that I didn't doubt Zhao Junbo, but...but..." At the end of speaking, Zhao Changlin's nose was sore, he couldn't control his emotions, and tears fell from the corners of his eyes instantly. Yuan Shasha hurriedly handed Zhao Changlin a napkin and asked him to wipe away his tears. After Zhao Changlin wiped it, he put it on the tip of his nose and squeezed it hard to squeeze out the mucus, then he recovered and said: "To be honest, I can't bear it. Zhao Junbo, my godson, I know him well. His nature is not bad." "Those experiences before the age of 10 should not be brought to the present. He needs to be reborn and needs a new life." "Besides, since Xiaobin disappeared, Junbo has worked hard at work. He really dedicated everything to the Ouhuang Furniture Factory. I really can't understand such a good person. Why does he kill people? murderer?" "Okay." Feeling that it is difficult for him to make a breakthrough in this aspect, Gu Chen changed another question and continued to ask Zhao Changlin: "Then let me ask you, Master Xiao's daughter, Xiao Mengqi, how much do you know?" "I know this person, but I'm not familiar with him." Zhao Changlin said. "Then does Zhao Junbo know her?" Gu Chen asked again. This time, Zhao Changlin thought for a few seconds before slowly saying, "I seem to know him." "What about the relationship?" Lu Weiwei said. "The relationship... is not bad. After all, the two young people have their own goals. I feel good." "Even at the beginning, I felt that they might still be a couple." "What did you say?" Hearing Zhao Changlin's words, Police Officer Wang said in a daze, "You...you mean, your godson Zhao Junbo and Xiao Mengqi might still be a couple? " "Uh! Is there... is there any problem?" I also felt that the police were too excited, and Zhao Changlin didn't know what was wrong with him? Gu Chen took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and then said slowly: "Boss Zhao, we didn't understand these things before." "Then can you tell us again, this Xiao Mengqi, how did she and your godson Zhao Junbo almost become a couple? When did they start?" "this" Feeling a little embarrassed for himself, Zhao Changlin tried to think back for a few seconds, and then slowly said: "I remember, when we visited Lao Xiao's daughter in Chao Town, we thought it was a relationship problem, which made Lao Xiao feel depressed." "At that time, Lao Xiao was also capable. He had worked in our Ouhuang Furniture Factory for a period of time." After thinking about it, Zhao Changlin hurriedly said again: "Oh, by the way, when Xiao Mengqi was still studying, she would come to the factory to help her father Lao Xiao during the summer vacation." "Because the age is similar to Zhao Junbo, when Xiao Mengqi was working in the factory during the summer vacation, she would ask Zhao Junbo for advice on any questions she didn't understand." "The two came and went, and it was at this time that the two gradually became familiar with each other." Taking a deep breath, Zhao Changlin thought about it again and said: "I remember that Zhao Junbo was a little inferior at that time, and felt that he was not good enough for Xiao Mengqi." "So, in many cases, I will keep a certain distance from Xiao Mengqi, so that the relationship between the two will not be too bad, but it will not be very good." "But later, Junbo heard that Xiao Mengqi had a boyfriend at school, and since then, Junbo didn't think about his relationship with Xiao Mengqi anymore." "However, good luck tricks people, didn't Lao Xiao refuse to allow his daughter Xiao Mengqi to go to Hubei province and develop with her boyfriend?" "So, later, the two had been in a long-distance relationship, so they broke up." "Junbo heard about this, and slowly began to care about Xiao Mengqi again." After a pause, Zhao Changlin also tried hard to recall, and then said: "During that time, I remember that Xiao Mengqi was depressed and shut herself at home." "Junbo couldn't stand it anymore, so he often cared about her and enlightened her. It can be said that Xiao Mengqi's mood during that time was all due to Zhao Junbo." "Then Zhao Junbo doesn't feel inferior at this time?" Yuan Shasha said. "Is that the case?" Zhao Changlin nodded silently, and explained: "Probably because Zhao Junbo performed well in the factory, I put him in a management position." "Actually, Zhao Junbo was already the deputy director of the factory at that time, and I also adopted him as a foster son." "With a godfather like me, this kid is more courageous, and he no longer wants to be as timid as before." "In the end, Junbo's confidence seemed to inflate at that time, but later, after Xiaobin's disappearance and the fire, unexpectedly, Xiao Mengqi couldn't think about it, so she jumped into the river and committed suicide." "So during that time, many people said that our Wangchao Town might be unlucky. Two lives were lost at once, and the whereabouts of one was unknown." "Some superstitious old ladies even invited some magic sticks to their home to practice exorcism..." "That is to say, Xiao Mengqi is actually very familiar with Zhao Junbo? The two have also developed a relationship, and they almost became lovers. Can I understand this?" "Yes... yes." Zhao Changlin nodded silently. "Very good." Gu Chen adjusted his breathing rhythm, recorded these on the back of the tongue, raised his head and said: "Then can I understand it this way? In fact, after your son Zhao Xiaobin disappeared, this Xiao Mengqi, she knew that your son had been burned to a scorched corpse. She also knew that your son might have been attacked from behind and hit him. The back of her head, she knows it all." "However, in order to protect someone and prevent someone from being caught, she chose to hide it, but her conscience couldn't bear it, so she expressed all the suppressed things in her heart with cartoons." "After all, at that time, Xiao Mengqi used the name 'Chopin is not as sad as me' in her comics. Few people in the country know this name, but it is very famous in the Neon Kingdom." "Moreover, Xiao Mengqi's works have always been serialized in Neon Country, which is not allowed in China. This also allows Xiao Mengqi to perfectly avoid the risk of leakage." "Let the death of your son Zhao Xiaobin appear in the serial comics of the Neon Kingdom in the form of comics." "And all of this, from beginning to end, Xiao Mengqi knew the truth, she was just protecting someone, and who do you think this person would be?" "Difficult...could it be..." Gu Chen has already said this, plus all kinds of reasonable reasoning and analysis before, Zhao Changlin can now guess the result with his toes. "Speak out, you have to face it bravely." Gu Chen said. Hearing this, Zhao Changlin also looked at Gu Chen with blurred eyes, and said tremblingly, "Could it be... Zhao Junbo? The person Xiao Mengqi wants to protect is Zhao Junbo?" "Almost?" I also saw that Gu Chen gradually pieced together the fragmented clues with deciphering reasoning to form a complete set of clues. Lu Weiwei on the side couldn't help but agree. But at this moment, Zhao Changlin was like a frightened bird, sitting on the sofa dumbfounded, and seemed to be in meditation again. Gu Chen hurriedly reminded: "Boss Zhao, Boss Zhao?" "Ah?" Zhao Changlin came back to his senses, the bloodshot eyes were extremely obvious. "Do you need me to explain more clearly?" Gu Chen asked. "No... no need, no need." Zhao Changlin took a deep breath, his face turned blue, and said, "Perhaps, you are right." "Zhao Junbo and Zhao Xiaobin, the two had formed a dispute because of what happened that night." "Perhaps, freezing three feet didn't happen in a day. Perhaps, the complex relationship between two people showed signs a long time ago." "Perhaps, because Zhao Junbo is good at forbearance, this didn't cause the situation to get out of control." "But on that night, it seemed that all the balance was broken. Xiaobin lost control after drinking, which made Junbo feel the tragic experience of being adopted by a second family again." "Perhaps, it was also at that time that Junbo came up with the idea of killing Xiaobin?" Looking up at Gu Chen, Zhao Changlin said again: "Officer Gu, is it true that the person Xiao Mengqi wants to protect is Junbo?" "At present, this is the case. Of course, this is also the most reasonable speculation. At least it shows that Xiao Mengqi wants to protect someone from the police." "However, the creation made her leak all this, which led to her own fatal disaster." "After all, Xiao Mengqi left too suddenly. Did she commit suicide by jumping into the river because of emotional problems? At least there is no definite explanation." "Especially until now, even Master Xiao didn't know who saw his daughter committing suicide by jumping into the river with his own eyes. He also felt that he might have been led by someone back then." "It's terrible, it's simply terrible." Hearing Gu Chen's remarks, Zhao Changlin's face turned blue, as if all kinds of thoughts in his mind were overwhelming at this moment. The original cognition, all the original ideas, seem to have been fragmented. After listening to Gu Chen's analysis, Police Officer Wang couldn't help interjecting: "Gu Chen, according to this meaning, Xiao Mengqi drew the whole process of Zhao Xiaobin's murder, and even the process of stealing and exchanging corpses. In my own comics." "Finally discovered by the murderer, ruthlessly killed by the murderer, and faked as a false appearance of suicide, then this person may be Zhao Junbo in the end?" "Yes, if Xiao Mengqi wants to protect that person and doesn't want that person to be hurt, at least the relationship between Xiao Mengqi and the murderer should be very good." "If that's the case, in Jiangnan City, especially Wangchao Town, only Zhao Junbo agrees with this point. Of course, Yuan Jialiang also agrees. That's why the two groups of people are mixed together, and they seem to have some connection. " Based on everyone's analysis, Yuan Shasha suddenly put together all the fragmented clues. Of course, this is also what Gu Chen is thinking at the moment. ... bookmark
