She gave her colleague outside a look, held up the displayed number for two seconds, cleared her throat, and asked, "Is this your dad?"
“He’s not my daddy, he’s just an executioner.”
"???"
"What did your father, your father, do to you?"
Xia Xueqing answered every question: "He killed my mother, sent me abroad, and suspended my credit card."
The policewoman became serious and made a gesture towards the outside.
"How did he kill your mother?"
"I don't know, I was too young at the time."
"How did you know that?"
“My mommy and my daddy were in love, but because of a bad woman, she was forced to separate from my daddy. This bad man took advantage of the situation and married my mommy, but he didn’t take good care of her. My mommy died when I was less than a year old.”
"..."
The policewoman felt that the amount of information was a bit overwhelming, and her central processing unit couldn't keep up for a moment.
The interrogation room door suddenly opened, and her colleague, looking pale and sickly, waved to her. The policewoman was bewildered for a moment, then went out.
"What's wrong?"
Do you know whose phone number that is?

The policewoman blurted out instinctively, "That bastard who got cheated on?"
Her colleague quickly covered her mouth, glancing furtively left and right, and said, "You can't just say things like that."

And now this daughter thinks that Governor Xia forced her mother into this relationship, and hates Governor Xia?"
Her colleague gave her a disapproving look.
"When that woman died back then, Governor Xia refused to believe it and even reported it to the police. In the end, it was confirmed to be suicide, a certainty. There's even a suicide note she left in the file, saying that she asked Governor Xia to take good care of her daughter and not to remarry. The old detective from back then was puzzled when he read it. The daughter was also Governor Xia's daughter, so why did she say 'my daughter' instead of 'our daughter'? It wasn't like she was his biological daughter at all. Haha, if Governor Xia really forced her, would that woman have felt comfortable entrusting her daughter to him?"
The policewoman felt speechless and, after a long pause, asked, "Should I still contact Governor Xia?"
"How about sending a text message? He used to be very busy when he was mayor, always running around. He must be even busier now."
