Chapter 162 Inquiry

When Tan Yi arrived home, two cars with Beijing license plates were parked outside the gate.

Chai Yu said, "Uncle and aunt are here. Today's situation is special, so I won't go in to make trouble. You comfort the old man. It's been so long since the incident, it's not worth getting angry."

"Don't worry." Tan Yi got out of the car, "Old Chai, thank you."

"Roll!" Chai Yu stepped on the accelerator, "Let's go!"

Tan Yi smiled and pushed the car door.

Maybe the sound of the car door shaking startled the people in the villa, and the anti-theft door opened as soon as he entered the yard.

"Xiao Yi." Bai Yu called out in complaint, "Why did you come back just now."

"Mom." Tan Yi took a few quick steps, "Some friends went to the hospital to see me, so I was delayed for a while."

"How is the wound? Do you want to take care of it?" Bai Yu grabbed Tan Yi's wrist, his voice choked with sobs.

Tan Yi said, "It's not a big problem. After rehabilitation, it won't affect your normal life."

Tan Jingwei came out of the kitchen with a kettle, "That's good. Our company doesn't mind your disability."

Bai Yu glared at him, "You only care about the company's business and don't care about the child's health at all."

Tan Jingwei didn't care, "He doesn't need to do anything. He just needs to help me occasionally so that I can accompany my parents and you to walk around."

Old Mrs. Tan had just undergone a resection operation. Even if she recovered well, she wouldn't live long. His suggestion was reasonable.

Bai Yu was speechless.

Tan Yi sat down next to Old Man Tan and said, "Okay, as long as I pass the civil service exam."

Tan Jingwei was relieved and said, "Of course." He was not yet sixty, far from retirement age. Even if Tan Yi wanted to seize power, he would not really give it up.

Bai Yu said to Old Master Tan, "Dad, don't think about the past. It's not you who is wrong, it's Gao Xuehua."

Tan Jingwei echoed, "Yes, if Xiaorong knew about this in the afterlife, he wouldn't be at peace either."

"Alas..." Old Master Tan sighed, "I am a dying man. Logically, I should have let go of life and death, but I just can't get over it. It's like being pressed by a huge rock and I can't breathe."

Tan Yi held his hand, "Grandpa, judging from the current situation, Gao Xuehua could have denied everything. The reason she made up her mind and confessed was to make you feel uncomfortable."

Old Master Tan said, "She wins in the murder and heart-breaking case."

Tan Yi and Tan Jingwei looked at each other.

The result is there. Even though Gao Xuehua paid a price, she still won over Master Tan.

Tan Yi said, "She did win over you for sixteen years, and she has temporarily won over you now, but you can't let her continue to win. In addition, she cares about Fan Jingyuan very much, but she has completely lost him since this morning. Before the interrogation was over, she fainted due to the sudden increase in blood pressure."

The living room was quiet for a moment.

Tan Jingwei asked, "Did the man surnamed Fan really not participate?"

Tan Yi said, "There is no evidence to prove that he participated. To solve this mystery, we have to wait until Fan Junpei can be questioned."

Tan Jingwei asked Old Master Tan, "Dad, is Gao Xuehua really that capable?"

Old Master Tan said, "She graduated from a prestigious university and is best at forming cliques and factions."

His words encompassed two facts: one is that she has a high IQ, and the other is that she has a high EQ and is good at manipulating people's hearts.

Bai Yu poured a cup of hot water for the old master, "People with bad intentions and extremely high abilities are the most terrifying."

Tan Yi thought to himself, if Gao Xuehua really had the ability, then it would not be difficult for her to deceive Old Master Fan.

Grandpa Tan looked at Tan Yi's dark eye bags and patted the back of his hand with heartache, "No matter what happens to Gao Xuehua, it is not enough to make up for my guilt towards you and Xiaorong. However, I don't have many years left to live, and it's not too late to apologize later. Don't worry, I can think it through, but it takes some time to digest. Xiaoyi, go to rest, Grandpa is fine, you don't need to accompany him."

...

Grandpa Tan has experienced countless storms and has a very high adversity quotient. Comfort and companionship are only happiness for him, but they will never relieve him.

Self-digestion and self-forgiveness are the best ways to solve problems.

The next morning, he left with Tan Jingwei and his wife - they were worried about Grandma Tan being alone in Beijing.

Tan Yi went to work as usual. Based on Fan Jingyuan's confession, he submitted a report to his superiors, requesting an inventory of Gao Xuehua's personal property.

Lu Qiyuan agreed with his opinion and sent members of the special task force to conduct a thorough investigation of the four properties.

At the same time, Tan Yi contacted Jiang Hanzhi and asked him to contact the Economic Investigation Detachment to investigate the wealth accumulation of Fan Jingyuan's second son.

On the day Jiang Hanzhi received the news, he and Na Wan rushed to Anhai.

The two parked the car in the parking lot of the Municipal Bureau and were about to walk towards the office building when they saw Tan Yi and Li Ji walking towards them.

"Hanzhi?"

"It's me, are you going out now?"

Tan Yi raised his injured hand, "I'm going to the hospital."

Jiang Hanzhi punched him lightly on the shoulder, "What's the matter, why are you injured?"

Na Wan joked, "Yeah, Captain Tan, did you catch a knife with your bare hands?"

Li Ji said, "It's not a knife, our Captain Tan caught a gun with his bare hands."

"Fuck, fuck!" Jiang Hanzhi screamed twice, "Are you going to die?"

Tan Yi said, "In the face of violence, we policemen often have no choice."

"That's right!" Jiang Hanzhi straightened his face, "Old classmate, you won, I admit defeat."

Tan Yi said lightly, "This is my home court, it's not easy for you to win."

"That's right. It's not unfair that I lost. I was a little overestimated my own abilities at that time." Jiang Hanzhi smiled with relief, "Let's go, we will accompany you to the hospital."

Half an hour later, a group of four arrived at the municipal hospital.

After treating the wound, Tan Yi said, "Let's go see Xiao Xie, her hand is also injured."

Jiang Hanzhi was shocked, "What happened to you?"

Tan Yi briefly explained the situation.

Na Wan was stunned, "Xiao Xie saved her life."

Tan Yi said, "Indeed."

Jiang Hanzhi asked, "What does Fan Junpei think? When can he be interrogated?"

Tan Yi said, "Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Not only was he shot, but the cancer cells have spread to a large area and his body is weak. It is not suitable now."

"His master!" Jiang Hanzhi was angry, "Too kind, why bother to care about the life and death of such a person?"

...

After a few words, the four of them arrived outside Xie Qing's ward.

Li Ji raised his hand and was about to knock on the door when he saw it suddenly open.

Xie Chen didn't see them. He pulled the door handle, turned his head and said to Xie Qing, "Go to bed early. I'll come to see you tomorrow at noon."

Li Ji said, "Mr. Xie is going back?"

"Oh!" Xie Chen was shocked. "Li Ji, Captain Tan, Captain Jiang, and that police officer. Qingqing, there are guests."

Jiang Hanzhi walked in with a smile and said to Xie Qing, "We only found out you were in the hospital when we arrived at the hospital, so we came empty-handed."

Xie Qing stood up and shook her hands. "Even if I can't eat the fruit, I have flowers. Captain Jiang and that police officer coming to see me is the best gift."

The five of them sat down on the sofa. Xie Chen brought a few bottles of mineral water and took the initiative to say goodbye.

Jiang Hanzhi asked, "When will Lang Ziyan and Chu Liang arrive?"

Tan Yi said, "Around dawn."

Na Wan said, "When will the trial be held? Can we sit in?"

Tan Yi nodded, "It will be held at dawn. You can sit in, but..."

"But what?" Jiang Hanzhi was impatient, "Just tell me what you want to say."

Tan Yi said, "Before that, I want to talk to Grandpa Jiang and ask about Grandpa Fan and Grandpa Fan."

Jiang Hanzhi said, "Isn't that what we should do? I'll make a call now, and we'll go back together."

...

At 21:10, Tan Yi and others arrived at Grandpa Jiang's house.

Grandpa Jiang asked everyone to sit on the sofa and asked Jiang Hanzhi to serve tea to everyone.

He said, "I'm not too familiar with Lao Fan. He lives in the same building with Lao Fan and Lao Na, and they have closer contacts. So, I may not know what you asked me, but I will definitely not hide what I know."

"Thank you, Grandpa Jiang, don't worry, we all understand." Tan Yi said, "I would like to ask you, have you talked about the topic of the war in 1971 recently?"

"Ah!" Old Master Jiang sighed helplessly, "This topic cannot be discussed at all. Old Fan gets anxious when it comes to it and won't listen to anything. He firmly believes that he is right. He is like a hammer. In his eyes, a normal battle became a wrong decision and the two regiments deliberately delayed the rescue. It's just that Old Fan has a good temper. If it weren't for him mediating, Old Na and I would not want to pay attention to him at all."

Tan Yi asked: "What do you think of Old Master Fan?"

"Well... human nature is complicated, and what I said may not be right." Grandpa Jiang said the ugly words in advance, "In my eyes, Old Fan is a bit like an old naughty boy. He thinks more cheerfully than ordinary people, and his heart is kinder than ordinary people."

Tan Yi asked again: "How is the relationship between Grandpa Fan and Gao Xuehua?"

Grandpa Jiang thought for a moment, "It's hard to say. Gao Xuehua and I seldom interact. But your grandmother Jiang doesn't like her very much. She thinks she always speaks in a sarcastic way. That person is stronger, and Old Fan generally doesn't like to care. The two complement each other. In my opinion, the relationship between husband and wife is still very harmonious."

Grandpa Jiang's words are more pertinent.

Xie Qing nodded in her heart. She had met both grandmothers. Grandma Jiang was gentle and polite with a sense of distance. It was very comfortable to get along with her. Although Gao Xuehua was warm and hospitable, there was always something between them.

Tan Yi said, "Regarding the dismemberment case a few days ago, did Grandpa Fan and Grandpa Fan say anything?"

Grandpa Jiang hissed, "If you hadn't asked me, I really wouldn't have thought about it. Now that you asked me, I have an impression. Old Fan and Old Na both expressed their concerns about the public security in the development zone. Although Old Fan didn't say anything, his face was very sour. He often has a sour face, but those two days were very different from usual."

Jiang Hanzhi asked, "Grandpa, has Mr. Fan been to the island country?"

Grandpa Jiang said, "I know this. He has never been abroad and his education level is not high. I heard that he only graduated from junior high school."

"So that's how it is." Tan Yi thought, "After their incident broke out, Grandpa Jiang must have thought about Fan Junpei. Did you find anything unusual?"

Grandpa Jiang said without hesitation: "To be honest with you, this case has caused a huge shock to me and Lao Na. Lao Na and I talked for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion - people's hearts are hidden in their stomachs. We have lived for most of our lives, but we didn't find any clues."

...

The old man is used to going to bed and getting up early. Tan Yi left after asking questions.

It was still early in the morning, and the group went to Tan Yi's house again.

Jiang Hanzhi lit a cigarette, "Old Tan, if Fan Junpei has never been to the island country, then what about Sao Qingniang? Is it a special hobby of Lang Ziyan or Chu Liang?"

Na Wan said, "That's what I wanted to ask."
