Chapter 167 Who is the murderer?

“Pinch marks?” Zhou Nuan glanced at her with a half-smile, “No one except the public security organs knows about the pinch marks. Where did you hear that?!”

Ji Huayan then realized what she had said. In panic, she bit the tip of her tongue. It felt painful and numb, and she was about to cry.

"I, I..."

Zhou Nuan's eyes were urgent, and her tone became increasingly harsh, "Ji Huayan, please explain!"

Yuan Lao Hu and Chen Yan looked over together, and the look in their eyes made Ji Huayan feel uneasy.

"I, I was just guessing. Didn't they say that He Rongsheng's eyes were bulging and he couldn't even close them? Only people who died of suffocation would be like this. Also, given Zhou Chang's personality, how could he possibly drink poison?"

She made up an excuse at random, and then bit back, "Why are you so nervous and asking me questions? Is there really something you can't tell anyone?"

"Who is so nervous?" Zhou Nuan curled her lips. "Speaking of which, Miss Ji is too concerned about this matter, isn't she? Also, how did Miss Ji know my mother's name?"

"...I lived in your mother's house when I was little. Is it strange to know her name?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Xiyue, who had been silent, suddenly spoke coldly, "Isn't it strange? I would like to ask Director Ji, do you still remember the name of the old Zhou family?"

Jinianshan paused, with a strange expression on his face.

Of course he couldn't remember, who would remember the name of that family, and it had been so many years, but... that family was dead, so what did it have to do with them, why did the adopted daughter react so strongly?

He glanced at Ji Huayan and saw a look of panic in her eyes, and a bad premonition came to his mind.

Could it be...

Gu Xiyue continued, "Even Director Ji can't remember it. Miss Ji was so young at that time, but her memory is still so strong. It's really admirable. But Miss Ji, can you explain it? Why did you go to the repatriation office for undocumented persons to pick up He Rongsheng and his son? When did you contact them?"

“…”

He pressed on step by step. Ji Huayan was so frightened that she was sweating all over. She screamed, "Why are you asking these questions? The one who killed someone was Zhou Nuan, it was Zhou Nuan!!"

"Who is the murderer? Only God knows, the earth knows, and the murderer knows too."

"I don't know what you are talking about!!" Ji Huayan felt guilty, "You have no evidence, you are wrongly accusing me just to save your wife!"

She turned to Chen Yan for help, feeling wronged and sad. "Aunt Chen, Aunt Chen! You have to help me. My biological father sacrificed his life for the country. They can't target me for no reason like this!"

Chen Yan frowned and looked at Gu Xiyue, "Do you have any evidence? Or is this just your guess?"

Gu Xiyue did not answer, his dark eyes were as cold as ice.

He hasn't found the evidence yet, otherwise he would never let her jump around here.

He only found out about this yesterday. After investigating, he realized that Ji Huayan had been in contact with He Rongsheng and his son for a long time, and had rented a house and given them money without telling Ji Nian Minshan. This was not something she would do.

Although there has been no direct evidence to prove that she was directly related to the death of He Rongsheng and his son, she could definitely not get away with it.

Chen Yan said softly, "If there is no evidence, you can't say that. After all, her father is a hero. We can't let the family down. We have to pay attention to the image."

Ji Huayan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was proud to see someone speaking for her, "I know Director Gu loves his wife dearly, but it was Zhou Nuan who had a conflict with He Rongsheng and his son. So many people saw it, so she had a motive.

Director Gu can't cover up for his mistakes. Even if Zhou Nuan didn't do it, he died because of her. Zhou Nuan not only has no guilt at all, but also doesn't take it seriously. Such a person... Tsk tsk."

Yuan Lao Hu had a gloomy expression on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking. Even Chen Yan's eyes looked much colder when she looked at Zhou Nuan.

Ji Huayan curled her lips and was about to add fuel to the fire when she suddenly heard a noise behind her.

Looking back, a soldier came to report, "Commander, Luo Mingrong from Future Real Estate is here."

Then, the sound of chaotic footsteps was heard, and Luo Mingrong and his sister Luo Chenxing appeared in front of everyone.

Luo Fanxing looked much better, but she was still very introverted, lowering her head and refusing to look at anyone. Luo Chenxing looked at her worriedly.

"Commander!" Luo Mingrong walked up to him in three steps at a time, and said respectfully, "Do you still remember me? I'm Luo Mingrong, and I used to be a soldier under you."

"Oh, it's you. Didn't you retire a long time ago and go into business?" Yuan Lao Hu remembered, "It seems you are doing well."

Luo Mingrong smiled modestly, "It's okay, it's okay, I heard that you were here so I brought the children to see you."

"Chen Xing Fanxing, come and meet the Headmaster."

Luo Chenxing called out "Chief", then gently pulled his sister. Luo Fanxing felt it and carefully raised her head, but she hadn't even uttered the word "Hello, Chief".

When he caught a glimpse of Ji Huayan standing next to him, he froze in place. Then his face turned pale and he hid in Luo Chenxing's arms, trembling slightly.

Her reaction made everyone a little confused. Yuan Lao Hu said self-deprecatingly, "Xiyue, am I that scary? Look how scared this little girl is."

Luo Mingrong was so disappointed that he quickly explained, "No, she is just a little afraid of strangers. She has been much better in recent times. Who knows..."

"Fanxing!" he shouted again, "This is my father's old leader, what are you afraid of?"

Luo Chenxing's face darkened, "Why are you shouting? I told her not to come but you insisted on letting her come. She's not well yet!"

If he hadn't threatened to forbid her from having any contact with He Tao, Luo Fanxing would definitely not have come.

He patted his sister lovingly and said, "Don't be afraid, I will take you home soon."

"Brother, brother." Luo Fanxing in his arms let out a panicked cry, and tears suddenly fell. She wanted to escape, to escape from the shadow that had haunted her for ten years.

But He Tao's words rang in her mind.

'Be brave, you have grown up, no one can hurt you anymore, face it, confront it, and defeat it.'

"Brother." She raised her head tremblingly from Luo Chenxing's arms and looked at Ji Huayan who looked bewildered. "Brother, it's her. She's the one who made me like this!"

"Brother, she wants to strangle me to death, brother, please save me."

Luo Fanxing burst into tears and shouted out words that she could not have said ten years ago. She was asking for help from her brother, and also from her brother ten years ago.

Luo Chenxing's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Ji Huayan was also confused and looked at Luo Fanxing's face in surprise. In a flash, the face of a little girl who was struggling to death after being pinched by her appeared in her mind. The little girl who dared to snatch her doll overlapped with the person in front of her.

She blurted out, "It's you!"
