Chapter 58 Gu Wenjiao

◎How did you and Fan Hongwei get to know each other?◎

This time, Zhou Jinfeng could no longer sit still. She stood up and listened carefully. Amid the music of the ending theme of Huo Yuanjia, there were clanging sounds.

The brick-concrete house was built in the late 1970s, and the floors were all prefabricated, so the sound insulation was not very good. Hearing these unusual noises, Zhou Jinfeng walked to the TV cabinet and turned down the volume of the TV, and the sounds from upstairs could be clearly heard.

"Bang! Bang! Boom—"

Zhou Jinfeng became nervous: "Could it be Xiong Tao who hit someone? Hu Linzhen is not in good health, she definitely can't beat him, no! I have to go ask." As she spoke, she walked to the door, changed her shoes, and was about to open the door to go out.

Gu Wenjiao grabbed her mother and said, "Mom, let them beat them up. It's their family affair, don't get involved. Even if Uncle Xiong really beat someone up, the police can't do anything even if you call them. Have you forgotten? Last time you called the police for a pregnant woman who was beaten by her husband, but the pregnant woman complained about you instead, and her husband arrogantly waved his fist at you, scolding you for meddling in other people's business, right?"

Zhou Jinfeng stood at the door, hesitated for a second, and shook off her daughter's hand with a wry smile: "Jiaojiao, this is your Aunt Hu, my good friend, your internship advisor, I can't just ignore her. Even if she complains about me, I'll accept it."

Seeing that her mother was unsuccessful in her persuasion, Gu Wenjiao returned to the living room unhappily, turned up the volume of the TV, sat back on the sofa, and muttered, "I don't care about you anymore, it's up to you."

After a few minutes, Zhou Jinfeng still hadn't come back. Gu Wenjiao became restless and worried, so she opened the door and planned to go and take a look.

As soon as the door was opened, a strong smell of blood and gunpowder wafted from the corridor. Gu Wenjiao's face changed suddenly and she screamed, "Mom - Mom -" and stumbled upstairs.

The door to the fifth floor was open. Zhou Jinfeng was lying on the ground with his head facing inward and his feet facing outward. There was blood on his head and he was already dead.

Through the door, one could see that the house was in a mess. In the corridor from the living room to the bedroom, a figure was lying with a pool of blood under him.

Gu Wenjiao rushed over and hugged her mother, pressing her trembling hands on her neck. There was no pulse! There was a bloody hole on Zhou Jinfeng's head, and her brain was spurting out. It was obvious that she was shot to death.

"Ah-ah-ah-" Gu Wenjiao's heart seemed to be grabbed by something, and she raised her head and screamed towards the roof.

Until the police arrived, Gu Wenjiao still held her mother's already cold body tightly, refusing to let go. Her mother shouldn't have died, she shouldn't have died! She was just concerned about her colleagues and worried about her friend's family, she just wanted to go upstairs to take a look!

After Youhun dealt with his mother's funeral, Gu Wenjiao learned what had happened from the police.

Three gangsters broke into the house with guns and robbed the family of three, Xiong Tao, Hu Linzhen, Xiong Yingying, including Zhou Jinfeng who went upstairs to check the situation, were all shot to death.

The loud noise that the mother and daughter heard earlier was not the sound of a cabinet falling to the ground, but the sound of a gunshot.

There were no signs of the door being pried open, so it was obvious that the gangsters knocked on the door and the host and hostess opened it.

Zhou Jinfeng must have gone upstairs and knocked on the door, and the gangster opened the door for her. She was shot as soon as they met, and she had no chance to call for help.

The damage inside the room was serious, even the Simmons mattress was cut with a knife. The other party looted all the valuables in the room, but the police didn't know what they took. After investigating neighbors, colleagues, and Xiong Tao and Hu Linzhen's parents, they roughly calculated that the gold watches, brand-name bags, jewelry, and cash added up to a value of about 100,000 yuan.

Although Xiong Tao was the director of the savings bank, he didn't like to keep his money in the bank. He had the habit of keeping cash at home. In addition, Xiong Tao liked to buy luxury goods and show off, which attracted people's envy and led to burglary. This incident caused the residents of the Third Hospital to discuss it for a long time, and those who had money at home became much more low-key.

If anyone shows off gold and silver jewelry or luxury bags, others will advise: "Don't forget Xiong Tao's family."

Others quickly forgot about the Xiong Tao case, but Gu Wenjiao could not. Whenever she closed her eyes, she would see her mother lying in a pool of blood. This caused her to faint from the blood and she could not face patients at all. The hospital took care of her, and after she graduated from college, she was assigned to the pharmacy to distribute medicines.

As the days passed, new people were introduced to Hu Linzhen's department, someone took over Xiong Tao's position as director of the savings bank, there was one less person in Xiong Yingying's class and no one asked about it, new residents moved in upstairs from Gu Wenjiao, and even Gu Wenjiao's father Gu Chaodong remarried and started a new family.

Only Gu Wenjiao refused to let herself go.

Xiong Tao's family was rich and he showed off everywhere, which led to his death. But his mother Zhou Jinfeng was always frugal, hardworking and kind, so why did she die too?

Countless times, she regretted why she didn't hold her mother's hand that day, why she didn't firmly stop her mother from going upstairs to meddle in other people's business.

If her mother hadn't died, she would happily take over her mother's job, be a good nurse, and maybe even become a head nurse.

If her mother hadn't died, she would work the day, afternoon and evening shifts with her mother, eat together, clean the house together, and watch TV together. When she gets married in the future, she will bring her husband and children back to her parents' home on weekends, sit down with her parents to have a meal and chat about family matters.

But... because of that loud noise, everything changed.

Gu Wenjiao hated the robbers who broke into her house and the police who were incompetent in handling the case. She would go to the police station every month to ask: Has anyone been caught? Has the murderer who killed my mother been caught?

But every time the police would tell her with an apologetic look: No.

Where did the gun come from? Our country has such strict gun control, where did the criminals get the gun?

Gu Wenjiao kept asking for details and learned that a Type 54 pistol and five bullets were found at the crime scene, all of which were related to the murder of the deputy director of the police station three months ago. The pistol that killed Zhou Jinfeng was the deputy director of the police station's sidearm!

Gu Wenjiao didn't know who to blame.

Is it the deputy director who was to blame? He was the deputy director, and had just obtained the qualification to carry a gun. He was attacked when he returned home late at night. He was hit in the back of the head with a heavy hammer and stabbed in the heart with a dagger. He died miserably. He was less than 30 years old, in the prime of his life, newly married, and his parents were still alive.

Can't blame anyone, and can't blame anyone.

Hate those criminals, right? Of course you hate them! But who are they? How did they know that Xiong Tao's family was rich? How did they get into the house? How did they kill people? Why did they leave the gun at the scene when they left? Where are they now?

Through the footprints at the scene, it can be preliminarily determined that the criminals are males with medium height and weight. They wore gloves and acted very carefully. No fingerprints were found on the pistols or the vase fragments. Only half a blurred fingerprint was left on the edge of the door frame, which was probably caused by Zhou Jinfeng pulling the other party before his death.

How can I find him in such a huge crowd with only half a fingerprint?

It was nine o'clock in the evening when the robbery took place, and every household was watching TV in their houses. The TV series "Huo Yuanjia" was on, and the streets were deserted. Even the old man in the hospital's communication room and the owner of the canteen were watching TV in their rooms. No one knew that a murder had occurred in the dormitory building of the Third Hospital.

How did they get in? When did they leave? No one noticed.

I have no idea.

Gu Wenjiao became obsessed and became a little bit obsessive.

Her father Gu Chaodong comforted her countless times: When a person dies, it is like a light going out. We must always look forward.

But Gu Wenjiao couldn't get over this hurdle in her heart, and yelled at her father: You have forgotten the old one because you have found a new one, you can move on, but I can't forget!

Gu Chaodong had no choice but to ask someone to introduce a partner to Gu Wenjiao, hoping that his daughter would slowly heal in her new family life. However, Gu Wenjiao hated her father for remarrying and having children so quickly, and opposed him in every way. At that time, she met Fan Hongwei, who was attentive and considerate to her, willing to listen to her story of her mother's murder, and accompanied her to the police station to inquire about various details. This touched her and she felt that she had met a close friend. The more her father opposed, the more she became stronger, and soon she married Fan Hongwei and had children.

Sometimes, you won't know whether a man is a human or a ghost until after marriage.

At first, Fan Hongwei behaved politely and served as the private driver of the director of the Urban Construction Bureau. Although he was not officially employed, he was very capable of making money, and Gu Wenjiao thought that he had a lifelong trust. After the birth of his son Fan Tianbao, the baby in the cradle was tender and innocent, and the shadow of the past gradually dissipated.

However, what Gu Wenjiao did not expect was that after her son turned one year old, Fan Hongwei became a completely different person.

He was officially employed, and gradually moved up from driver to demolition office clerk, team leader, and director. He gathered a group of forces and became more and more arrogant. He got drunk every day and would fight over anything he disagreed with.

The first time she was beaten, Gu Wenjiao was completely frightened.

For some reason, the question that occurred to her at that moment was not: Why did he hit me? What right did he have to hit me?

What she was thinking was - I advised my mother not to meddle in the affairs of the couple. I said that if a husband beats his wife, even if the case is reported to the police, it is a family matter and the police should not intervene. Now... retribution has come!

No one will take care of her. Although the law protects the rights of women and children, there is no law that explicitly stipulates that a husband who beats his wife will be punished, because "it is difficult for an honest official to judge family affairs."

On the one hand, he had to consider his son. On the other hand, when Gu Wenjiao got married, she threatened her father: Even if I die, I will never go back to your home! In addition, Gu Wenjiao felt guilty for advising her mother not to meddle in other people's affairs, so she silently endured Fan Hongwei's domestic violence with a sense of guilt.

What is ironic is that Gu Wenjiao's hemosickness was cured without medication because she often saw blood after marriage.

Gu Wenjiao felt like she was a bird imprisoned in a cage by Fan Hongwei. Even though she had a pair of wings, she had long forgotten how to fly.

The next day, Gu Wenjiao walked into the gate of the Third Hospital with injuries on her body.

Seeing her gloomy face, long-sleeved shirt and long pants, and her slightly stiff joints when she moved, her colleague at the pharmacy sighed and advised, "Wen Jiao, Head Nurse Miao has been gone for ten years, and it's time for you to move on from the past. Live a good life with Fan Hongwei and stop arguing with him all the time. As a man, who doesn't like gentle and sensible women?"

Gu Wenjiao twitched the corner of her mouth but said nothing.

The colleague in the pharmacy was named Zhang Yinghua, an old colleague of Zhou Jinfeng. Seeing Gu Wenjiao grow up, he couldn't bear it and continued to nag her.

"When you first got married, Fan Hongwei came to pick you up from get off work every day. He was sensible and polite, and was very good to you. Look at you now, you hit me and I hit you at every turn, making our family restless. If your mother were still alive, how sad would she be to see you like this?

You, ever since your mother passed away, have been like a thorn in your side, going to the police station to make trouble for no reason, and being rude to your father. Now that you have a son, you should take good care of him instead of seeking justice and catching the murderer all day long, it's so tiring. If the police could catch the murderer, they would definitely do it, but it's impossible to catch him, right? Just put this matter aside and live a good life."

Gu Wenjiao said nothing, her eyes lowered.

Fan Hongwei pretended to be so good. He often drove to pick her up after get off work, gave her flowers and gifts in front of everyone, and was always very polite and warm when talking to colleagues. If Gu Wenjiao complained about being beaten by him, he would pretend to be limping and put a gauze on his face to make everyone think that Gu Wenjiao had also hit her.

He is very popular in the unit, smiling at everyone he sees and willing to help when something happens. He only shows his brutal side when he is with Cao Deren, when he is drinking, and when no one is around.

"You have been married for seven years, and your son is already five years old. People say that only when you raise a child can you understand the kindness of your parents. If you have nothing to do, go home and see your father. Your father still lives in the old house on the fourth floor, and he is nostalgic for the old times..."

Gu Wenjiao replied calmly: "Do you think he doesn't want to move? That's because his company doesn't have any housing."

Zhang Yinghua was so stunned by her words that she didn't know what to do for a moment. After a long while, she sighed, "You kid, you always speak with a sharp tongue. Sigh!"

After taking a look at Gu Wenjiao's haggard face, Zhang Yinghua said nothing more. She just silently took over the work in Gu Wenjiao's hands so that she could take a rest.

At noon, Zhang Yinghua brought Gu Wenjiao lunch. Gu Wenjiao sat in a corner of the pharmacy, chewing the food without any taste. Scrambled eggs with tomatoes reminded her of her mother lying in a pool of blood with her brains bursting. If it wasn't for the desire to stay alive until the murderer was brought to justice, Gu Wenjiao wouldn't want to eat at all.

"Gu Wenjiao?"

A clear female voice woke Gu Wenjiao from her daze.

Gu Wenjiao raised her head and saw two heroic girls standing in front of her. One had a round face and a smile, and the other had narrow eyes. They were both wearing simple floral shirts and khaki pants, and their faces were unfamiliar.

"Who are you?"

Gu Wenjiao put down the rice spoon in her hand. At the same time, the injury on her arm moved, and Gu Wenjiao frowned and unconsciously took a breath of cool air.

He Mingyu and Zhao Xiangwan exchanged glances.

He Mingyu showed her ID and briefly introduced herself.

Gu Wenjiao goes to the police station every month and is familiar with the profession of police. When she saw the ID, her eyes lit up: "Is there any progress in my mother's case?"

He Mingyu shook his head. "It's been ten years since Xiong Tao's murder, and the investigation has not been reopened yet. However, we are interested in this case and would like to learn some details in private. Please cooperate with the investigation."

Gu Wenjiao didn't care whether the police department reopened the case or not. Her mother's murder had become a mountain weighing on her heart. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, she would not let it go. When she heard what He Mingyu said, she immediately put down her lunch box and stood up: "What do you want to know? I will tell you everything I know! As long as the murderer can be caught, I will do anything."

[That's great. Finally, a police officer came to ask me about what happened at that time. Finally, someone is willing to investigate this case. As long as the murderer can be caught and shot, I will be willing to die! ]

Hearing Gu Wenjiao's thoughts, Zhao Xiangwan was somewhat moved.

This morning, the serious crime team split up. Zhu Feipeng and his team went to the Urban Construction Bureau to investigate and learn about Fan Hongwei's true situation. He Mingyu and Zhao Xiangwan searched for relevant case files about Fan Hongwei, but found nothing, so they simply investigated the murder case of Cai Chang.

In February 1982, Tsai Chang was murdered. There were no witnesses and the gun was stolen.

Three months later, in May 1982, a tragic burglary occurred in the family building of the Provincial Third Hospital. A Type 54 pistol was found at the scene, and five bullets were left in the body of the deceased. Testing revealed that they were Tsai Chang's gun and bullets.

A family of three and a neighbor who went upstairs to check, four lives, all became innocent souls killed by the gun.

There are three murderers in total, and they are still at large.

Shame! A great shame!

The more He Mingyu and Zhao Xiangwan looked at each other, the angrier they became.

Police officers were originally equipped with guns to fight criminals and protect the public, but unexpectedly, they became tools for criminals to commit crimes and killed four people!

Among these four people, there is a savings bank director, a gynecologist, a head nurse of the thoracic surgery department, and a ten-year-old child.

Xu Songling made his position clear: Don't get involved in this unsolved case. Zhao Xiangwan also knew that this case had far-reaching consequences, there were too few clues, and it was difficult to track down.

But maybe it was because of her youthful passion, maybe it was because Gao Guangqiang was drunk and crying, or maybe it was because she felt it was unfair that Fan Hongwei got rich. In short... she originally just wanted to touch upon the murder of Tsai Chang, but it ended up making Zhao Xiangwan want to investigate further.

Once he had this idea in mind, Zhao Xiangwan began to concentrate on studying the case files.

According to the case records, during the tragic case of Xiong Tao's family extermination, a neighbor living downstairs, Zhou Jinfeng, was killed because she went upstairs to check. Zhou Jinfeng's daughter Gu Wenjiao also heard the noise upstairs at the time, but thought it was a quarrel between husband and wife and did not pay attention to it.

Judging from the feedback from the police station that received the alarm at the time, Gu Wenjiao was very persistent. Even after a decade, she still came once a month to inquire about the progress of the case.

Zhao Xiangwan discussed with He Mingyu whether there were some details that were overlooked at the time. The two thought that since Gu Wenjiao was so persistent and had not forgotten the hatred of her mother's murder, they might be able to find a breakthrough from her.

After all, time has passed, and the dead are gone. Even Zhou Jinfeng's husband has remarried and had children, but Gu Wenjiao is still obsessed with her mother's murder. Sometimes, persistence is the key to success, right?

He Mingyu asked: "Can you recall the scene again? Try to be as clear as possible and don't miss any details."

Zhou Jinfeng was murdered ten years ago, and no one remembers it. In the past, Gu Wenjiao would go to the police station and ask about the progress again and again. Now a criminal police from the Public Security Bureau came to visit, and Gu Wenjiao was very moved. She tried hard to search for past memories in her mind and tried to tell the details.

After listening to this, He Mingyu asked for a few more details.

"When you opened the door and went upstairs, you said you smelled blood and gunpowder. Apart from these, were there any other special smells? For example, smoke, perfume, sweat, etc.?" Human memory of smells is much longer than that of images and sounds.

Gu Wenjiao thought about it carefully and shook her head: "I only remember these two smells at the time. I was interning in the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital, and I smelled blood quite often, so I was very sensitive. As for the smell of gunpowder, it felt a bit like the smell of firecrackers during the Chinese New Year. The two smells mixed together, and now whenever I think of it, my lungs hurt and I can't breathe."

The Type 54 pistol is small in size, light in weight, easy to carry, powerful, and has a magazine that can hold eight rounds.

The first gunshot that Gu Wenjiao and Zhou Jinfeng heard was when the second episode of "Huo Yuanjia" was played. According to the plot at that time, it should be around 8:50. When the ending song was played, it was 9:00, the second shot was fired. Then when Zhou Jinfeng was hesitating whether to go upstairs, it was around 9:03, and two more shots were fired.

Including the shot to Zhou Jinfeng's head, there were five bullets in total. Perhaps fearing that the police would continue to pursue him, the murderer threw the pistol at the scene and fled with his property.

Although a loud noise was heard in the hospital unit, everyone was watching TV and didn't want to meddle in other people's business. Also, it was covered by the sound of the TV. No one thought it was a gunshot, but just furniture falling to the ground. If Gu Wenjiao hadn't come out, holding Zhou Jinfeng's body and screaming for help, I'm afraid no one would have noticed the disaster in Xiong Tao's house.

"When did you open the door?"

"When my mom went upstairs, the ending theme had just started playing and I didn't catch up. I waited until 9:15 and saw that my mom hadn't come back yet, so I opened the door and went upstairs."

Zhou Jinfeng went upstairs at 9:05, and by 9:15, a total of ten minutes, the murderer had already fled far away.

Hearing this, He Mingyu sighed softly.

This tragic case shook Xing City at the time, and the city leaders ordered the Public Security Bureau to investigate with all their strength. However, due to the limited technology at the time, coupled with the cunning criminals and strong anti-detection awareness, it eventually became a complex unsolved case.

First, the murderer chose the right time. On a weekend night, between 8:30 and 9:00, when Huo Yuanjia was on the air, the murderer knocked on the door and entered the house without anyone being prepared or paying attention.

Second, the location chosen by the murderer. The Third Hospital is located in the downtown area. The family area is separated from the outpatient building and the inpatient department by only one wall. There are a lot of people coming in and out on a regular basis, and the management is not strict. The old man in the communication room has poor eyesight and listens to a radio every day, and doesn't care about anything at all.

Third, the murderer wore gloves and did not leave complete fingerprints. There were no other traces except for half a blurred fingerprint on the door frame and three pairs of shoe prints. Judging from the shoe prints, they were the most common Jiefang brand rubber shoes, new shoes. The height, weight, and walking posture of the three people had no special characteristics. They were of average height, average weight, and no one had a pigeon-toed or pigeon-toed posture. No one had long or short feet. Nothing at all...

The only thing that can be confirmed is that the murderer must have known Xiong Tao or Hu Linzhen and knew that his family was rich. However, Xiong Tao was a lively person with many friends, and Hu Linzhen was a senior obstetrician and gynecologist who had delivered countless newborns. It was unknown how many of the pregnant women's families knew her.

The police checked countless people that year, but found nothing.

He Mingyu asked a few more questions, but what Gu Wenjiao remembered had already been repeated countless times, so she couldn't provide any more clues.

Later, Gu Wenjiao held He Mingyu's hand anxiously: "I, I have told you everything I remember. When can the murderer be caught? My mother can't die in vain like this! My mother went upstairs to help Aunt Hu and others. She is a good person, a very, very good person! Don't you policemen punish evil and promote good? My mother is a good person, please help her redress!"

He Mingyu felt a little sad. She lowered her head and was about to say a few words of comfort, but she saw purple marks on Gu Wenjiao's wrist. Her eyes turned cold, and she held her right hand and gently lifted her sleeve.

The bruises, bruises and scars can be seen everywhere from the wrists to the elbows, which is shocking to the eyes.

"What's going on?" He Mingyu raised his eyes and looked at Gu Wenjiao.

Gu Wenjiao's mother died ten years ago, and the murderer has not been found yet. As a police officer, He Mingyu feels an inexplicable guilt towards Gu Wenjiao. Seeing the injuries on her body, he became furious.

Gu Wenjiao gave a bitter smile, shook off He Mingyu's hand, lowered her eyelids, and carefully put down her sleeves to cover the wound on her hand: "Nothing."

[Fan Hongwei, that beast, gets drunk and goes crazy and beats people. What can I do? I studied nursing, and these injuries are just superficial. I can take care of them. Even if I report it to the police station, no one will care. This policeman is a good person, and he still cares about my injuries.]

Hearing this, Zhao Xiangwan's eyes flashed with coldness. Domestic violence again! Teacher Zhou also said that men protect women, but he didn't know that it is men who often hurt women.

Fan Hongwei? Zhao Xiangwan suddenly realized it. This name...

Zhao Xiangwan asked: "What is your husband's name?"

Gu Wenjiao curled the corner of her mouth to the upper right, revealing a look of contempt: "Fan Hongwei."

Zhao Xiangwan continued to ask: "Which unit do you work for? What is your position?"

If an ordinary woman heard the police questioning her husband, she would be a little alert and at least ask back: Why are you asking this?

But Gu Wenjiao didn't seem to care at all. She glanced at Zhao Xiangwan and said, "Municipal Urban Construction Bureau, Director of the Demolition and Relocation Office, Fan Hongwei."

He Mingyu frowned: "He hit you?"

Gu Wenjiao folded her arms and leaned against the corner of the wall, as if seeking some kind of protection: "Yes."

Seeing that Gu Wenjiao had obviously accepted the situation, He Mingyu felt a little upset: "Don't be afraid. If he hits you again, call the police."

Gu Wenjiao suddenly raised her head and stared at He Mingyu, saying sarcastically, "Call the police? Will calling the police be useful? My injuries are just soft tissue contusions. If I go through an autopsy, I'm afraid they won't even be considered minor injuries, right? I've checked for broken ribs, broken phalanges, perforated eardrums, miscarriages... They're all just minor injuries. Will I be prosecuted?"

He Mingyu and Zhao Xiangwan didn't know how to answer her.

Gu Wenjiao suddenly laughed: "You see, neither of you policemen can answer my question. I called the police, and they arrested him. Because it was a marital conflict, they criticized and educated him, and detained him for two days at most. What's the point? When he gets out, he will be even more powerful."

Zhao Xiangwan bit her lip, narrowed her eyes, and felt angry, but there was nothing she could do.

At present, our country has not issued corresponding laws and regulations on domestic violence. Unless the injuries are serious, the crime of intentional injury will be prosecuted. However, since the two parties are husband and wife, both the police station and the court will consider the marital status of both parties and mainly criticize and educate them.

Society, work unit, relatives...it seems that everyone is trying to persuade women.

——Why did he hit you and not others? Did your wife do something wrong?

——For the sake of the children, just bear with it.

——We have criticized him and he said he would change.

——You were the one who chose him in the first place, so you have to accept the consequences even if he was wrong.

Fan Hongwei is extremely cunning and his attacks are very careful and severe.

According to the law, facial scars with a single scar area of ​​more than three square centimeters or multiple scars with a cumulative area of ​​more than five square centimeters; facial scars with small flaky scars or pigment abnormalities with a cumulative area of ​​more than eight square centimeters, orbital wall fractures, nasal bone comminuted fractures, tooth loss, etc., are all considered second-degree minor injuries. So he tried not to attack the face to avoid being convicted and sentenced.

Some of the soft tissue contusions on the neck, arms, thighs, etc. were not even minor injuries. He specifically targeted these areas. As long as the bones were not broken, even the police could not do anything about it, so he was not afraid at all.

The atmosphere in the pharmacy was a little solemn for a moment.

Gu Wenjiao stood against the wall with her arms folded, looking at the two policewomen in front of her, taking three deep breaths, trying to calm herself down. They were here to help her, not to confront her or laugh at her, and she shouldn't vent her dissatisfaction on them.

[Fan Hongwei is a beast, but Tianbao is well-behaved and obedient. Why am I telling them all this? These two policewomen look young, with bright eyes and eyebrows, so they probably haven't started a family yet, right? How could they understand the love and hate, the entanglements between husband and wife? Alas! I should be grateful that someone can talk to me about my mother's affairs, why bother talking about these annoying things. ]

Thinking of this, Gu Wenjiao tried hard to force a smile, but unfortunately she was in a bad mood these two days, and the smile she forced looked very stiff: "Well, I don't mean to blame you. Thank you for coming to care about my mother's case. The serious case team of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, He Mingyu and Zhao Xiangwan, right? I remember you. If I remember anything in the future, or if I have anything, can I come to you?"

He Mingyu also perked up and nodded, "Sure. If you need help, come find me."

Zhao Xiangwan looked at Gu Wenjiao and suddenly had an idea in his mind: If he wanted to know the history of Fan Hongwei's rise to wealth, was there a shorter way than asking Gu Wenjiao? No!

Zhu Feipeng and his team were asking around the Urban Construction Bureau, so she might as well start with Gu Wenjiao and ask about Fan Hongwei's basic situation.

Just do it.

Zhao Xiangwan dragged a chair over and sat opposite Gu Wenjiao, smiling and said, "Sister Gu, you should have an hour's break at noon, right? Can I ask you a few questions about Fan Hongwei?"

He Mingyu and Zhao Xiangwan worked in perfect harmony. He immediately motioned to Gu Wenjiao to sit down, and he also found a place to sit down, waiting for Zhao Xiangwan to ask questions.

Seeing Zhao Xiangwan's attitude, Gu Wenjiao finally reacted: "Is there something wrong with Fan Hongwei? Do you want to investigate him?"

[Thank goodness, someone finally wants to investigate him. It would be best if he could be arrested and put in jail! If he could be sent to jail, my hard times would be over.]

Zhao Xiangwan raised his eyes and met Gu Wenjiao's gaze. He saw the excitement in her eyes and didn't know why he felt sad and happy at the same time.

The sad thing is, Gu Wenjiao's marriage life must be so unhappy that she would like someone to investigate her husband and preferably send him to prison.

Fortunately, despite being abused, Gu Wenjiao's inner resistance has never been extinguished. Unlike Zhang Yalan's mother, who was beaten so many times that she would be grateful if the beatings were not light one day.

Zhao Xiangwan asked: "How did you and Fan Hongwei get to know each other?"

Gu Wenjiao recalled: "It was 1985, three years after my mother passed away. My father remarried and had a son. I felt that my life was bleak. May 15 was my mother's death anniversary. I went to the cemetery to pay my respects and was molested by gangsters on the way back. It was Fan Hongwei who saved me. Later, he pursued me to the hospital and was very passionate. I thought I had met true love and that he was the son-in-law sent by my mother, so I accepted him very quickly."

Because they met after being buried in the cemetery, and Gu Wenjiao believed that Fan Hongwei was her destined marriage, was it destiny or a pre-arrangement?

Without waiting for Zhao Xiangwan to ask, Gu Wenjiao sneered and said, "After getting married, I met the thugs who molested me at home. Only then did I know that everything was a play directed and performed by Fan Hongwei himself. Tell me, is it ridiculous or not?"

Zhao Xiangwan: "Let's not worry about whether he is acting for now. I want to know why he deliberately approached you."

Gu Wenjiao shook her head: "I think I am only average looking, not gentle or lovable, who knows why he fell in love with me? Bah! I would rather he didn't fall in love with me."

Zhao Xiangwan looked at Gu Wenjiao. Indeed, Gu Wenjiao was thin, with a round face, thin eyebrows and small eyes, and a few freckles around her nose. She was not outstanding. She worked in a pharmacy and had few contacts with people. How did Fan Hongwei recognize her and be attracted to her to the point of setting up a trap to tempt her?

Putting aside this doubt, Zhao Xiangwan continued to ask: "What was Fan Hongwei doing when you recognized him?"

Gu Wenjiao answered: "He was driving for Director Yang Xugang at the Urban Construction Bureau at the time. He was not officially employed, but because he was good at flattering and had a bunch of buddies, he was very popular with Director Yang. My father was against it at the time, saying that he had no official job, smoked and drank, and had a strong gangster vibe. But I always hated my father for forgetting my mother too quickly, so I ignored him. The more he opposed, the more I insisted. In May 1996, I met Fan Hongwei and got married to him at the end of the year."

Zhao Xiangwan nodded. Yes, three years after Zhou Jinfeng's death, her husband remarried and had a child. Gu Wenjiao had a close relationship with her mother, so her anger was understandable.

"Fan Hongwei has risen from a temporary worker to a deputy section-level cadre step by step. He is very capable."

Hearing what Zhao Xiangwan said, Gu Wenjiao looked disdainful: "He, is very capable? Haha. He just knows how to pretend! In front of others, he pretends to be a good citizen. If he sees someone throwing cigarette butts randomly on the street, he will even go up to them and give them some advice, bending down to pick up the cigarette butts and put them in the trash can. But what about behind people? You have never seen him holding steel pipes and iron bars and fighting with a few brothers. Anyway, as long as the leader says a word, he will rush forward. No matter what the demolition problem is, he can handle it. If he doesn't get promoted, who will?"

After listening to Gu Wenjiao's words, Zhao Xiangwan suddenly had an idea in his mind.
