Chapter 507: Leniency for Confession, Severity for Resistance

When Gu Yilan heard this, she was stunned at first, and then she slapped her thigh hard.

"Yes! It must be like this! It must be like this! I didn't remember it if you didn't mention it, but as soon as you said it, I suddenly remembered it. I saw them fighting once when I was a child. Old Lutou used to come to our house frequently, but later it seemed that they had a quarrel, so he seldom came..."

Gu Yimin sighed and said nothing.

In fact, he had guessed this a long time ago, but without any evidence, it was not easy to make random comments.

"Dad, is Ninghai still in Huaicheng?" Gu Xiaoxi asked.

Gu Yimin nodded, "Still here! I heard that Gu Xinli and Ning Hai got married before returning to Huaicheng, and now they live in Gu Xinli's house."

Gu Xiaoxi was quite surprised. Ning Hai was a snobbish man who wanted to marry a girl from the city and then return to the city. But now he was going to marry Gu Xinli?

Grandpa Jiang listened to their conversation and was silent for a while before saying, "Xiaoxi, I actually have a guess. It is very likely that something happened to that girl Gu Xinli."

Gu Xiaoxi immediately looked at his grandfather and asked, "Do you mean that it was done by Old Man and Old Lady Gu?"

Grandpa Jiang sighed, "These days, you can't go anywhere without an introduction. She disappeared two days after she got the 2,000 yuan. At that time, her family thought she left quietly. But when Ning Hai came to find me later, I met him once. From his tone, Ning Hai had agreed with Gu Xinli to go back after getting the money. So he also knew that Gu Xinli was going to blackmail the Lu family."

At this point, he paused for a moment before saying, "I also know the Lu family. They are not easy to deal with. Logically, they would not give Gu Xinli so much money so readily. Because even if the fact that Old Lu and Old Lady Gu have an illegitimate child is exposed, it will not have any big impact. So, Gu Xinli must have known some other secrets..."

Gu Xiaoxi carefully recalled Gu Xinli's condition at that time, and finally nodded.

"That's possible. She told me at the time that she had been watching the old man for several years and knew a lot."

"Leave the Gu family's affairs to me. Now that we are back and have plenty of time, let's investigate the affairs of the Gu and Xie families." Lu Jiansen suddenly spoke.

There are many reasons why this matter was not handled properly before. First, there are time and geographical limitations, making it difficult to obtain evidence.

Second, he had reported the matter to his leaders and talked to his father. The matter involved the Xie family. Due to the special nature of the current environment, it does take time, effort, and energy to move some people.

Otherwise, if you are not careful, you may be bitten back and the party that is right and righteous will become the one who is exiled and suffers.

However, before the transfer, Commander Tang told him something: the country will soon take major action, and some of the country's parasites will be dealt with soon.

Gu Xiaoxi hesitated for a moment and said, "Didn't we just buy a blood tester this time? We'll try to get everyone in the Xie family tested."

Upon hearing this, Yu Chengshuang immediately said, "Leave this to me, Lu Jiansen! I'll give you a month to investigate this thoroughly."

Lu Jiansen nodded and said nothing more.

He planned to have a one-on-one chat with Yucheng later.

However, before that, he planned to go to the Public Security Bureau to find out more about the situation.

Gu Xiaoxi thought about it and decided to leave the child to the care of his grandfather and aunt, and went to the Huaicheng Public Security Bureau with Lu Jiansen and Yu Chengshuang.

Because of Lu Jiansen's identity, the people in the Public Security Bureau were very cooperative. As soon as they asked, the police officers in charge of the case told them all the details of the investigation.

"After Gu Xinli reported her missing, we investigated Gu's family. They all believed that Gu Xinli left Huaicheng after getting the money, so Gu Weiguo kept scolding her for being unfilial and not giving them money to spend..."

"We have also investigated the Lu family, but they said that they had not seen Gu Xinli since she extorted money from their home. After that, they went to work and school, and their daily routines were normal. Moreover, they had an alibi when Gu Xinli disappeared..."

After hearing this, Lu Jiansen asked, "Can the Lu family explain why Gu Xinli blackmailed them?"

Captain Li, who was in charge of the case, said with some difficulty: "It was said that the Lu family took the initiative to confess that the younger sister Gu was the daughter of the old lady of the Gu family and the old man Lu. Lu Yishen, the director of the street office of the Lu family, asked us to protect his privacy. Only a few of us in charge of the case knew about this..."

Gu Xiaoxi frowned slightly, feeling that it was a little unreasonable.

"The Lu family gave the money so readily? Don't they have any complaints?"

Captain Li nodded, "Of course there are complaints, but Lu Yisheng wants to save face, so he said that the money is given and it's fine to buy peace."

Gu Xiaoxi chuckled and said, "Then this Taiping is quite expensive."

A young police officer nearby whispered, "That's right. Even if the Lu family has an alibi that proves they didn't see Gu Xinli after giving her the money, I still suspect that Gu Xinli's disappearance has something to do with them."

Lu Jiansen glanced at the young police officer who was speaking and asked, "Do you know anything else?"

The young police officer glanced at his captain and continued, "Old man Lu is a hard-core person. He is usually very stingy. Compared with two thousand yuan, losing some face is nothing. We can't arrest him directly without evidence. We have always been suspicious. We have been keeping an eye on the Lu family for several days, but we didn't find anything."

As they were talking, a police officer knocked on the door and came in to report, "Captain Li, Ning Hai is here again."

"Let him in. I just need to ask him something." Lu Jiansen spoke immediately.

Captain Li nodded and had Ning Hai taken to the talk room.

Ning Hai knew Gu Xiaoxi and Lu Jiansen, but he was still very surprised to see them at the Huaicheng Public Security Bureau.

"You... why are you here?" Ning Hai stuttered a little, his expression a little flustered.

Gu Xiaoxi narrowed his eyes slightly, "We are here, why are you panicking?"

Ning Hai stood up straight at once, and his voice became tense, "Who is panicking?"

Gu Xiaoxi glanced at Lu Jiansen, motioning him not to speak, and then looked at him with eyes that saw through everything.

"We came here because we have important information. We were originally planning to have the police call you in for questioning, but since you came here on your own, just confess!"

Having said this, she paused and gave another warning.

"Confess and be lenient, resist and be strict, tell the truth, otherwise your whole life..."

She didn't say the rest, but Ning Hai's face suddenly turned pale.

There was a gleam of fierceness in Lu Jiansen's eyes. This must be a really serious crime!

Yu Chengshuang was also a little surprised, he didn't expect that just two sentences from Sister Xiaoxi seemed to have caused something big to happen.

The two police officers next to them were stunned and looked at each other.
