Chapter 59 Restaurant
◎Is Fan Hongwei related to the shooting case?◎
Zhao Xiangwan’s idea was very direct—Fan Hongwei must have had some ulterior motive in marrying Gu Wenjiao.
From what Gu Wenjiao said, Fan Hongwei was a person with very clear goals.
He grew up in the suburbs, did not finish junior high school, and took over his father's job before joining a transportation company as a truck driver. However, he was able to rise step by step from truck driver to leading driver, and then to the director of the demolition office. He had a successful career and held some power. This was related to his strong sense of purpose.
Men who are goal-oriented pay more attention to what the other person can bring to them when choosing a marriage.
Xu Juncai chose Zhou Jingrong because Zhou Jingrong's father was the director of the Engineering Bureau.
Zhao Qingyun chose Wei Meihua because Wei Meihua was a city girl and her parents had many connections.
Gu Wenjiao was just average in terms of appearance and talent, and she did not have a strong family background, so she could not contribute to his career.
Stepping out of the female perspective, Zhao Xiangwan observed Gu Wenjiao's every move and felt that the most attractive thing about her was her persistence in dealing with her mother's death. Everyone had already walked out of the shadow of the past and started a new life, but she was the only one who had insisted on going to the police station every month to inquire about the progress of the case for ten years.
What exactly does Fan Hongwei want from her?
The marriage between Fan Hongwei and Gu Wenjiao was full of contradictions, which gave Zhao Xiangwan a strong sense of disharmony, as if all this was a trap.
Confused, Zhao Xiangwan asked Gu Wenjiao: "Have you ever thought about divorce?"
Although there is an old saying that it is better to demolish a temple than to destroy a family, but for a man who beats his wife, is it better to stay together for the New Year without getting a divorce?
Gu Wenjiao looked at Zhao Xiangwan's slightly childish face and did not directly answer her question. Instead, she asked, "Are you also a criminal police officer in the serious crime unit?"
When He Mingyu introduced herself just now, she only showed her police ID and mentioned Zhao Xiangwan briefly. At first, Gu Wenjiao thought they were colleagues and didn't pay much attention to them. But now that they were in close contact, she noticed that although Zhao Xiangwan's behavior was calm and steady, there was still a childish look between her eyebrows, so she asked this question.
Zhao Xiangwan took out his student ID and placed it in front of Gu Wenjiao: "I am a student majoring in criminal investigation at the Public Security University. I am interning in the serious crime unit during the summer vacation."
The word "internship" brought back memories for Gu Wenjiao, and her eyes welled up. When her mother was murdered, Gu Wenjiao was in her third year of college, and her mother arranged for her to work as an intern nurse in the obstetrics and gynecology department. Hu Linzhen was her supervisor and was very caring towards her.
It was with this in mind that my mother went upstairs to take care of that trivial matter and became an innocent victim of the shooting.
Gu Wenjiao raised her hand and pressed the corner of her eye, trying to hold back her tears. "Intern police officer, you are in the serious crime squad when you are just a college student, you must have very good grades."
[Unlike me, I was ignorant before my mother passed away, and I didn’t study very hard. I was able to get an internship in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the Third Hospital thanks to my mother’s social connections. My mother said that this department is the only place in the hospital that deals with “life” and is full of hope. But… life and death, who can tell clearly? ]
Zhao Xiangwan raised his eyes and met Gu Wenjiao's gaze: "I have a good master. He introduced me to this industry."
Gu Wenjiao felt very comforted when she heard this: "You have a good master, and I also have a good mother."
Zhao Xiangwan said: "Yes, the master leads you to the door, but the practice is up to you. I hope we all work hard and don't let them down."
"Don't let them down?" Gu Wenjiao murmured, repeating what Zhao Xiangwan said, and fell into deep thought.
[Have I disappointed my mother? If my mother sees me now, she will be disappointed, right? I studied nursing for three years, practiced giving injections with potatoes at home, learned to dispense medicines with my mother, and listened to her tell me every day: Nurses are the bridge between doctors and patients, attitude comes first, skills come second, and you must have a warm heart. But when I graduated, I didn’t even dare to look at blood, I didn’t even dare to give injections, and I worked in the pharmacy every day. I was so cowardly, my mother must be disappointed, right?
My mother taught me that when choosing a man, one should first look at his character. Although my father remarried a year after my mother passed away, it cannot be denied that he was diligent in his work, responsible for his family, and a well-educated and polite man. But what about the man I chose? He has a low character, is two-faced in front of others and behind their backs, beats people when he is drunk, and has no care or love for me. My vision is so bad, my mother must be disappointed, right?
My mother taught me that a woman should be independent, strong and brave. She is never afraid of anything outside. She will deal with those unreasonable patients or family members patiently and argue with them. She is not afraid even if she is threatened. She always says that as long as you act according to your conscience, you are not afraid of anything. But what about me? I dare not resist Fan Hongwei's domestic violence, and I can only spit in his water cup. Haha, Gu Wenjiao, ah Gu Wenjiao, you are really useless! 】
Gu Wenjiao's voice revealed a bit of self-loathing, which made Zhao Xiangwan feel uncomfortable. He interrupted her reflection and said, "Don't be afraid if you make a mistake, just correct it."
Gu Wenjiao felt that every word of the trainee police officer seemed to touch her heart. A strong hope rose from the bottom of her heart, but it dimmed in the blink of an eye.
She knew she was wrong. But can all the mistakes in this world be corrected?
Having abandoned her nursing practice for ten years, it was difficult to start over, but if Gu Wenjiao wanted to, she could still start over. She originally graduated from a nursing program and had an internship certificate. In addition, because of her mother's situation, as long as she was determined and found her leader to explain the situation, it would not be difficult for her to return to her nursing position, as she no longer had fainting spells and no longer had fainting spells.
But... I chose the wrong husband, and my child is already five years old. Is it possible to start over?
The girl was young and didn't know anything. Did she think divorce was that easy? Gu Wenjiao shuddered at the thought of Fan Hongwei's cold eyes.
Gu Wenjiao answered Zhao Xiangwan's question seriously: "Divorce? You don't know Fan Hongwei. He won't agree to a divorce. When he beat me for the first time, I proposed a divorce, but he firmly disagreed and even threatened his son's life. He said that if I proposed a divorce, he would throw his son off the fifth floor. Anyway... if a five-year-old child fell from the building because of playing, no one would suspect that it was his biological father who did it."
He Mingyu couldn't help but grit his teeth and cursed: "Beast!" No, calling him a beast was an honor to him. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but he dared to kill his own son. He was worse than an animal!
However, Zhao Xiangwan had a new understanding of Fan Hongwei.
——This is a very cunning person. When he attacked Gu Wenjiao, he chose to strike at inconspicuous places that were not easy to identify as minor injuries. This shows that he understands the law and is afraid of being sentenced. He threatened Gu Wenjiao's most caring son and refused to allow him to divorce. He also deliberately fell down the stairs and pretended to be a child who fell accidentally while playing. This shows that he is very good at controlling people's hearts and has counter-detection methods.
Zhao Xiangwan simply didn't believe that such a man was a conscientious citizen who abided by the law and was a state cadre who acted tactfully.
Zhao Xiangwan asked Gu Wenjiao: "What is your son's name?"
"Tianbao, Fan Tianbao."
"Who gave this baby a name sent by God?"
"He took it."
"Does Fan Hongwei like his son?"
"like."
"How can you tell that you like it?"
"He and I are both civil servants, and according to the family planning policy, we can only have one child. He has three sisters and he is the only son. He has been very spoiled since he was a child. Maybe because Tianbao is a son, Fan Hongwei values him very much. The first thing he does when he gets home from get off work is to talk to Tianbao. If he wakes Tianbao up when he hits me, he will comfort the child and say that we were just playing around."
Hearing this, Zhao Xiangwan said, "The reason why he was able to threaten you successfully is because he has a handle on your psychology. He bets that you love your son more and are afraid that he will hurt him. But think about it yourself. Their family has only one son for three generations. How could they bear to hurt Tianbao?"
Although she knew that Zhao Xiangwan was right, Gu Wenjiao was his mother, and mother and son were connected by heart, so how could she dare to take risks? She looked at Zhao Xiangwan hesitantly: "But... it's better to be safe than sorry. What if Fan Hongwei really goes crazy and throws his son off the building?"
He Mingyu pulled Zhao Xiangwan and signaled her to be more careful with her words. As a police officer, every word and action seemed to be under the spotlight. It had to be legal, in compliance with regulations, and in line with public order and morality. One had to be extremely careful.
Zhao Xiangwan really wanted to say: "You will know if you try it." But He Mingyu's reminder was right. She didn't say this out loud, but just replied lightly: "I can understand you."
Since her mother passed away and she married Fan Hongwei, Gu Wenjiao has had almost no contact with her father and no friends. She feels that she is not doing well and is unwilling to get close to her colleagues, so she is introverted and silent. This is the first time she has talked so much with a stranger. Gu Wenjiao feels much relieved. The more she looks at Zhao Xiangwan, the more she likes him: "Thank you, thank you for understanding me."
Zhao Xiangwan smiled and said, "It's okay. Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any problems in the future, come to the Municipal Bureau to find us." After that, he stood up with He Mingyu, said goodbye to Gu Wenjiao and left.
Walking out of the hospital clinic building, the smell of disinfectant gradually dissipated, and Zhao Xiangwan and He Mingyu went to the scene of the shooting that year.
The five-story brick-concrete building has red exterior walls, a blue-gray cement floor, and concrete hollow railings. There are two households on each floor, and a total of three units. The house was built in the late 1970s, and it has a history of more than ten years. The exterior walls are covered with ivy, and the stairwell looks a bit shabby.
There is no door in the stairwell, it is just open. The only thing to protect the safety of the residents is that each household has a security door installed outside the wooden door. It seems that the murder case that year still left a psychological shadow on the residents here.
兩人順着樓梯向上走。明明一切正常,但何明玉不知道為什麽總有些毛骨悚然的感覺:“向晚,你聞到空氣裏有血腥味沒?”
趙向晚停下腳步,使勁嗅了嗅,搖頭道:“師姐,我聞到飯菜香味,好像是醬油荷包蛋的味道。”
聽到趙向晚的話,何明玉緊張的內心一下子就放松下來,撲哧一笑:“就你是個狗鼻子,連菜油煎荷包蛋,淋了醬油你都聞得出來!”
趙向晚指着一單元四樓401的房門:“呶,就是從顧文嬌家裏傳出來的。看來中午她爸在家。”
敲開門,應門的是一個外形斯文、體态微胖的中年男人。隔着防盜鐵門,他警惕地詢問:“你們是誰?找誰呀?”
何明玉亮出警官證:“您好,是顧朝東嗎?我們是市公安局重案組的,關于十年前的舊案,我們想找您了解一下情況。”
顧朝東沒有開門:“當時我不在家,沒什麽可以說的。”
何明玉繃着臉:“案件重大,請你配合一下。”
顧朝東看着警官證,不情不願地開了門,一邊開門一邊嘟囔:“都過去十年了,找我有什麽用?你們去找文嬌嘛。”
屋裏傳來一個溫柔的女聲:“老顧,是誰呀?”
還有個男孩子歡快的聲音:“爸,快來吃飯,今天有荷包蛋!”
趙向晚跟着何明玉進了屋,門口有一個換鞋區,擺着幾雙鞋子,再往裏便是客廳,客廳南面連着一個陽臺,陽臺上種着些花花草草。客廳與卧室之間有一道小小的走廊,卧室以及衛生間的門都對着走廊。
客廳裏随意擺着小孩子的玩具、書本,白色的牆壁挂着拼音表、各種彩色挂圖,略顯零亂,但卻很有家的溫馨感。
看到家裏的陳設,不知道為什麽趙向晚有些替顧文嬌心酸,也難怪她不願意回家,不願意與顧朝東說話。這套住房是周金鳳單位分配的住房,可是現在卻居住着顧朝東和他的新妻子、新兒子,所有人都把周金鳳遺忘,開始新生活,只有顧文嬌還活在過去。
客廳北面是廚房,餐桌上擺放着三菜一湯,一個系着圍裙的女子從廚房走出來,笑眉笑眼地和何明玉、趙向晚打着招呼:“你們好,要不要一起吃點?”
何明玉、趙向晚之所以中午出來,就是要趕在人們午休之時調查取證。三醫院與市局車程大約半小時,何明玉開車出來,兩人到現在還沒吃飯呢。聞到家常飯菜香味,一下就覺得餓了起來。
兩人忍着餓,同時擺手:“不客氣,只是問幾個問題。”
顧朝東請她們坐下,正襟危坐:“問吧。”
“五樓現在住的是什麽人?”
“一開始沒人肯住,空了兩年。後來案子漸漸沒人提起,分配給了一個從國外回來的眼科大夫,他單身,一個人住,不過經常不在家。”
“您一直住在這裏?”
“是。單位住房緊張,包括對面502那家也沒搬走。不過我單位建集資房,明年我會搬出去。”
“您在這裏住了這麽久,隔壁鄰居有沒有讨論過這個案子?都說了些什麽?”
“時間過去這麽久,大家已經很少讨論這個案子。偶爾提一下,也只是叮囑說不要露富,不要随便給陌生人開門,更不要多管別人家閑事。”
說到最後,顧朝東的臉色明顯變得黯淡。當年周金鳳上樓查看,結果命喪黃泉,雖說已經成家生子,到底夫妻二十載,感情還是有的,現在一想起來依然會胸口痛。
趙向晚聽到這裏,插了一句問話:“顧文嬌每個月都會去派出所詢問案件進展,您就不關心兇手是誰嗎?”
顧朝東覺得這句話很刺耳,看了趙向晚一眼,這才發現眼前姑娘年輕得有些過分:“你也是刑警?”
不得不說,顧文嬌真是顧朝東的女兒,見到趙向晚時問的話都是一樣。
聽趙向晚介紹完,顧朝東的臉色變得和緩許多。還在讀書的大學生呢,什麽都不懂,難怪說話這麽難聽。算了,不與她計較。
顧朝東說:“我只是比較實在。專業人做專業事,這件案子當年全市警察都非常重視,出動了很多警力都沒有偵破,難道我去打聽、去催促,就能破案?一個人,一生只有那麽長,何必糾結這些舊事?不如放下過去,好好過日子,這才算對得起逝者,你們說,是不是?”
趙向晚知道他說的是真心話,也的确是這個理,但她依然還是想替顧文嬌問幾句話:“可是,如果大家都忘記了舊事,那誰來替死者申冤,誰來揪出兇手?”
顧朝東聽了趙向晚的話,仿佛看到女兒就在眼前,長嘆一聲:“你還小,不懂得趨利避害。有時候,太執着過去,只會讓自己過得越來越糟糕。”
趙向晚抿着唇,內心升起一股說不清、道不明的憤怒:“所以,活該顧文嬌過得不好,是不是?”
顧朝東聽到她提起女兒的名字,眼神變得擔憂起來:“你們見過嬌嬌了?她現在過得不好嗎?她已經和我不來往有七、八年了,我想知道她的情況,只能通過醫院的其他人。”
趙向晚搖頭:“不好。樊弘偉經常打她,我們剛才見過她,她的胳膊新傷舊傷疊加,青紫瘢痕一大片。您要是有空,多關心關心她吧。”
顧朝東一聽,立馬站了起來,急得在屋子裏轉起圈圈:“怎麽會這樣!我聽藥房的張英華說過,說她和丈夫關系不太好。我想着嬌嬌脾氣不太好,說話又沖,遇上個脾氣急的丈夫,兩人關系不好也沒辦法。我以為……我以為就是夫妻之間推推搡搡,但真沒想到樊弘偉這狗東西會經常打她!”
顧朝東的妻子聽說是嬌嬌的事情,沒有插嘴,帶着兒子安靜坐下吃飯。她見過顧文嬌幾回,但每一次都不太愉快,這讓她不願意多管顧文嬌的事。
趙向晚點到即止,與何明玉告辭離開。
上樓敲門,沒有人應門。看來顧朝東沒有說錯,五樓雖然分配給了一位眼科醫生,但他經常不住在這裏。
兩人實在餓得不行,便走出家屬區,在三醫院街對面找了家小飯館坐下,點了辣椒炒肉、家常茄子兩個菜,盛了兩大碗米飯,邊吃邊聊。
正是中午一點左右,已經過了飯點,飯館裏人不多。
天氣熱,小飯館只有一個吊扇在呼呼地吹着。雖然汗流浃背,但因為實在太餓,兩人吃得挺香。
何明玉說:“五樓有人住,但現在主人不在家,怎麽搞?”
趙向晚吃飯速度比較快,往嘴裏扒了一口飯,不得空回話,只能用眼神示意她等一等。
何明玉看她吃飯的樣子,不由得笑了:“你急什麽,又沒人和你搶。”
趙向晚愣了一下,突然意識到什麽,放慢了速度。等到吃完嘴裏這口飯,她才解釋道:“小時候家裏吃飯總是催,所以養成了吃飯快的習慣。”
錢淑芬看不得趙向晚吃飯慢,總喜歡催她。
“快點吃,吃完去喂雞。”
“懶鬼,吃飯這麽磨磨蹭蹭做什麽?”
“你要在碗裏繡花啊?快點吃!”
這樣的話聽得多了,只要一坐到飯桌旁,趙向晚就會緊張,總想快點把飯吃完,抓緊時間做正事。
想到趙向晚的過去,何明玉有些疼惜地看着她。
“向晚,你也挺不容易的。我家裏四個女孩,我是老三,我爸重男輕女,嘴上不說,其實心裏并不高興。也有人提出過把我和我妹送人,換個兒子給我爸,可我爸媽沒同意。用我爸的話來說,再不好,也是他親生的,生了要是不養,那良心可真是壞透了。
我從小就是幾姐妹擠一張床睡覺,撿我姐的舊衣服穿,用舊書包、舊文具,條件并不算好。可是我家裏氣氛還可以,吃飯的時候不争不吵,碗裏要是剩下一塊肉,誰都不會挾,都等着我媽分。”
平時在一起都是讨論案
件,難得聽何明玉講家裏的事,趙向晚聽得很認真。趙向晚在農村長大,雖然幹農活多、被錢淑芬打罵,但農村地廣人稀,住房條件比何明玉家要好。趙晨陽沒離開之前,姐妹倆住一個屋,睡一張床;趙晨陽跟着趙青雲進城之後,趙向晚一個人一間屋,自在得很。
何明玉往趙向晚碗裏挾了一筷子瘦肉:“你太瘦了,多吃點。這家飯館的炒菜還挺好吃的,以後把朱飛鵬他們都拖過來吃。”
飯館老板是個慈眉善目的中年女子,聽到何明玉的話,笑得很歡喜:“姑娘你要是喜歡啊,下次來我給你們送個菜!我家那口子做得最好的是土豆絲餅,保證好吃。”
何明玉笑眯眯地和她開玩笑:“幹嘛下次再送?不如這回就送呗。”
老板姓胡,名胡愛玉,性情最是爽快,聽到何明玉的話,轉過頭就對着後廚喊了一聲:“老劉,做個土豆絲餅。”
不一會兒,一盆煎得香噴噴、散發着焦香味的土豆絲餅端了上來。仔細看,是把土豆擦成絲,拌上澱粉用油慢慢煎成形,加了孜然、辣椒粉、小蔥之後,邊沿焦脆,中間軟糯,味道豐富,簡直太好吃了。
就連不怎麽追求口舌之欲的趙向晚,都忍不住誇贊:“好吃!”
擡頭看着站在櫃臺後面記賬的老板娘,趙向晚忽然想起在羅縣開米粉店的大姑,前一陣子她寄了信來,說生意挺好,二哥趙伯武也表現不錯。表姐範秋寒已經分配到羅縣城關醫院當護士,因為打針水平高、行事利索,很受醫生、病人喜歡。
能夠把日子越過越好,也是一種本事。
趙向晚快速吃完飯,和老板娘拉起了家常:“你們家的飯館開了多少年?”
胡愛玉擡起頭,隔着櫃臺回答:“十幾年了。從國家允許做小生意,我和老劉就盤下這家店做飯館。三醫院是星市有名的醫院,每天人流量都大,在這裏做餐飲生意,不敢說賺大錢,養活一家人沒問題。”
開店開了十幾年,門面正對着三醫院,說不定能夠問出點什麽。
趙向晚繼續問:“那你還記得十年前發生在醫院家屬樓的那樁滅門慘案嗎?”
胡愛玉點點頭,嘆了一口氣:“記得。那可是件轟動全市的大案!警察一撥一撥地過來問,挨着個地查。我也想提供有用線索啊,只是案件發生的時候已經九點,我們家飯館已經打烊,什麽情況都提供不了。”
何明玉不死心,繼續追問:“發生案子之前,就沒發現特殊人物,或者異常情況嗎?”
胡愛玉手頭上沒什麽事,走出櫃臺,站到何明玉桌邊說話:“我們每天會接觸很多人,那個時候是五月份,天氣不冷也不熱,我家老劉炒菜手藝好,飯館生意好,每天忙得腳不沾地,真沒注意有什麽特殊的人或者事。”
醫院人來人往,男女老少,幹部、工人、農民、老師、小販……什麽樣的人都有。醫院每天有人生、有人死,有人哭、有人笑,人生百态什麽故事都有。誰比較特殊,有哪些異常,開飯館的胡愛玉可能真的沒有留意到。
趙向晚認真傾聽她的心聲。
【那個案子過去都十年了吧,沒想到還有人來問。這兩個姑娘估計是警察吧,這問話的派頭、行事的模樣,看着就像。多年輕啊,和顧文嬌那個丫頭一樣,唉!顧文嬌死了娘,也是個可憐的。每年逢她媽媽忌日,她都會來我飯館點兩個周護士最愛吃的菜,看着門口發呆,那模樣讓人一看就心酸難受。】
沒想到老板娘會認得顧文嬌,趙向晚問:“當年的滅門慘案,死了四個人,您認得哪一個?”
胡愛玉不假思索地回答:“周護士長我最熟。她這個人性格特別好,愛說愛笑,到了周末經常帶着女兒一起來點幾個菜,說是打打牙祭。她最愛吃土豆絲餅,汆元粉絲湯、姜辣雞丁,可惜啊……好人不長命。”
趙向晚問:“周護士的女兒,顧文嬌,您認識嗎?”
胡愛玉點頭:“認得,挺好的姑娘,和她媽媽關系特別好。她媽走了之後,她來得少了,不過每年五月十五號那一天,一定會來點三個菜,默默地把飯菜都吃完。以前是她一個人來,後來她愛人會陪着來,唉!”
樊弘偉會陪她過來吃飯?
何明玉與趙向晚交換了一個眼神,事出反常必有妖!
按理說,樊弘偉與周金鳳并沒有感情,不至于會在忌日這天來追憶岳母。更何況,樊弘偉對顧文嬌也不好,從他下手打人就能看得出來,這是個心狠手辣之人。既然他對顧文嬌不好,幹嘛要陪她來飯館吃飯?
趙向晚問:“顧文嬌除了點菜、吃飯,還會和你說什麽?”
胡愛玉深深地嘆了一口氣:“反正那一天,不管是周幾,顧文嬌都會一大早去墓地掃墓,然後到派出所詢問進展,中午再到我這裏坐着吃飯。見到我的第一句話,就是問:胡姨,你那裏有什麽新消息嗎?”
趙向晚眸光一閃:“她丈夫是什麽表現?”
胡愛玉皺着眉毛,欲言又止。不過她是個爽快人,憋不住話,到底還是噼裏啪啦都說了出來。
“我胡愛玉開店開到現在,不知道見過多少人,一眼就能看得出來,那就不是個什麽好東西。別看他對人一臉笑,但眼神躲閃,一坐下來就東張西望,看着那幾個菜一臉嫌棄,坐在那裏好像身上長跳蚤一樣不自在。也不知道顧文嬌為什麽選這麽一個人,他看她的眼神裏一丁點喜歡都沒有,時不時還透着陰冷,讓我看着很不舒服。”
趙向晚:“顧文嬌的丈夫,對她并不好,您看出來了吧?”
胡愛玉一拍大腿,感覺終于找到傾訴對象:“就是!我早就看出來了。她那個丈夫眼神冰冷得很,一點溫度都沒有,別看他後來官越做越大,但那股從來不正眼看人的勁,總讓人覺得不舒服。”
對,就是這種感覺。
趙向晚有讀心術,識破他人僞裝的能力很強。第一眼在火鍋店裏見到樊弘偉,就覺得這個人不對,他身上帶着寒意、防備,眼神裏透着兇悍,這股氣質與趙向晚在報紙看到的亡命之徒很類似。
這一剎那,趙向晚腦中忽然閃過一個念頭。
——有沒有可能,樊弘偉與槍殺案有關?
大膽假設,小心求證。趙向晚在腦子裏開始推理。
第一,樊弘偉對顧文嬌的追求來得毫無征兆。
顧文嬌并不算出色美人,性格也不溫柔讨喜,從樊弘偉對季昭的欣賞與調戲來看,這是個色膽包天、男女不拘的無恥之徒。他既沒有與顧文嬌在生活中結識,也沒有與顧文嬌在工作中結緣,憑什麽要在顧文嬌掃墓歸來的路上演一出英雄救美的戲碼,贏得她的好感,堅持将她娶回家?
如果硬要說樊弘偉娶妻娶德,覺得顧文嬌适合當妻子,那為什麽結婚後變了臉?不僅不尊重她,甚至還毆打她,讓她傷痕累累。
如果說樊弘偉不喜歡顧文嬌,那為什麽不肯離婚,還拿兒子性命作為威脅?
平時家暴成性的男人,怎麽會堅持在周金鳳忌日陪顧文嬌來小飯館吃飯?
樊弘偉這些奇怪、矛盾的行為舉止,如果将剛才的假設放上去,一切就變得合理起來。
作案殺人之後,心理素質超強的樊弘偉并沒有逃竄。他在城建局開了一段時間的小車之後,內心其實也在矛盾掙紮之中。
一方面,他害怕被警察發現端倪,将他抓捕歸案。殺警察、奪槍、入室搶劫、殺人,數罪并罰,死刑根本逃不脫,于是心中惴惴不安。
另一方面,他又想随時監控事态發展,一旦有風吹草動,可以立馬跑路。留得青山在,不怕沒柴燒是不是?
糾結來糾結去,狡猾的樊弘偉決定接近顧文嬌,畢竟只有她還一直在記挂這個案件,每年都會去追問案件進展。只要靠近顧文嬌,就能随時掌握案件的最新情況。
這麽一想,趙向晚感覺胳膊上的寒毛全都豎了起來。
如果她的猜測是對的,那簡直太可怕了!
殺了人,還敢繼續在這個城市生活,不慌不忙;
殺了人,還敢接近死者的女兒,甚至與她結為夫妻,生下孩子,只為了就近監控這一切。
夜深人靜的時候,難道他的良心不會痛嗎?難道他的後背不會發冷嗎?
趙向晚甩了甩頭,這種人,根本就沒有良心,哪裏會痛?她用手搓了搓胳膊,等到身體稍微溫暖一些,這才繼續剛才的推理。
其次,樊弘偉的成長史有很多違和的地方。
這也是趙向晚一直在琢磨的第二點。
樊弘偉在運輸公司當貨車司機,雖然跑長途相對辛苦一些,但八十年代的貨車司機外水多,工資收入其實還是比較可觀的。他打架鬥毆造成了嚴重的後果,卻由于蔡暢出面調解,最終達成諒解,沒有立案留下案底,按理說應該會繼續留在運輸公司上班,從此老實做人。為什麽他要去城建局當一個臨時的小車司機?
有一種可能,是雖然沒有立案,但由于影響惡劣,運輸公司将他開除。
當然也有一種可能,是樊弘偉犯下大案,心虛不敢留在原單位,索性換個地方,免得被人發現。
關于這個疑問,等下午和朱飛鵬等人會合,應該就能問個一清二楚。
第三,樊弘偉與城建局楊旭剛局長之間有什麽勾連,讓他下死手地提拔他?
如果,他們之間有某種協定,或者都與兇殺案有關呢?因為這是殺頭的事,所以一方守口如瓶,另一方努力報答。
目前來看,這三點疑問都需要進一步調查才能印證。不管怎麽說,大膽假設、小心求證,總是沒有錯的。
不冤枉一個好人,也絕對不放過任何一個壞人。
Zhao Xiangwan looked up at the proprietress and asked, "When did you first meet Gu Wenjiao's husband?"
Seeing that it was so hot and Zhao Xiangwan was rubbing her arms, Liu Aiyu couldn't help but laugh: "Little girl, are you scared? Oh, don't be afraid. Although Gu Wenjiao's husband is uncomfortable to look at, he is also a state official. Are you afraid that he will eat you?"
The words "eat you" successfully made the hairs on Zhao Xiangwan's arms stand up again.
He Mingyu noticed that Zhao Xiangwan suddenly fell silent, so she continued to ask, "Boss, does Gu Wenjiao's husband really accompany Gu Wenjiao to sweep the graves and inquire about the case every year?"
Hu Aiyu sighed, "It's not just once a year. Gu Wenjiao goes to the police station every month to inquire about the progress of the case, and her husband accompanies her every time. I've heard people in the hospital discuss this behind her back. They all lamented that Gu Wenjiao was stubborn and said that being her husband was not easy. Think about it, you can't live a good life, but you keep thinking about the murder case all day long. Don't you have nightmares when you sleep?"
The small restaurant was doing well, and many doctors from the hospital would come here to eat, chat, and gossip. Many people would talk about Gu Wenjiao's family affairs behind her back.
Zhao Xiangwan asked, "Boss, have any of Gu Wenjiao's colleagues discussed her husband's domestic violence behind her back? Don't you think it's strange that a man who beats his wife would accompany her to the police station every month to inquire about the progress of the case?"
When Hu Aiyu heard the word domestic violence, her face suddenly changed: "Beat your wife? If Gu Wenjiao's husband beats his wife, then he is not a man! Gu Wenjiao is pitiful enough, and he beats her? Pah! Are you police? Hurry up and arrest him."
He Mingyu saw that his identity was exposed by the boss lady and smiled: "If no one calls the police, we can't just arrest anyone."
Hu Aiyu was so angry that she slammed the table and said, "Gu Wenjiao's husband is a piece of shit! If you hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have known that he beat Gu Wenjiao. Now that you mentioned it, I remembered it. It was said that when Gu Wenjiao came to eat a while ago, she stood up a little stiffly, and the hand holding the chopsticks seemed to have a bruise. I thought she had accidentally fallen, but I didn't expect it was her husband who beat her.
Oh, my temper! I absolutely cannot tolerate a man beating his wife. I tell you, you go and persuade Gu Wenjiao to divorce her. If she is reluctant to divorce, then take a knife and fight him until he is afraid. Men! Haha, they are all bullies and afraid of the strong. Don't be scared when he hits you for the first time, or you will be finished. "
Hu Aiyu stopped talking only when a new guest arrived.
After dinner, Zhao Xiangwan took He Mingyu to find Gu Wenjiao again.
At 2 o'clock, the pharmacy was open for business, and Gu Wenjiao had already started to work. Seeing Zhao Xiangwan and He Mingyu return again, Gu Wenjiao and Zhang Yinghua greeted them and pulled them aside: "What's the matter? You have to ask quickly, I still have to work."
Zhao Xiangwan nodded and spoke faster.
"Does Fan Honggang accompany you to the police station every month to inquire about the case?"
"yes."
"Why?"
"He said he was a man after all and couldn't watch his mother-in-law get killed without being able to catch the murderer."
"Are you moved?"
"I guess so. This is the only human touch in him."
"Did he tell you why he resigned from the transportation company?"
"He said he was fired because he got into a fight when he was young and ignorant."
"Did he mention the name Tsai Chang?"
"The policeman who was killed? I don't think he mentioned it. He only cares about who killed my mother. As for the name of the policeman who was killed, he doesn't care."
"Who are his best friends?"
"Cao Deren."
"Is this the only one?"
"There seemed to be a person named Ruan Wu before, but he disappeared after marrying me. I don't know where he went."
After asking the questions, Zhao Xiangwan told Gu Wenjiao: "Remember not to tell Fan Hongwei that we came to see you."
Gu Wenjiao nodded: "Yes, I know the seriousness of the matter." If she had just asked about the details of her mother's murder, it might not have meant much if she had told him the details. But it was obvious that the police were very interested in Fan Hongwei's past and present. If Gu Wenjiao had told him the details rashly, it would probably have alerted him.
Gu Wenjiao looked at Zhao Xiangwan with some longing: "Are you going to investigate Fan Hongwei?" How much she hoped that the police could arrest Fan Hongwei and give her a peaceful life.
