Chapter 290 Press Conference (1/2)



Ji Nanfeng and He Kun hurriedly left the room.

They entered from the back door and saw Fang Ni.

Fang Ni's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and her sister patted her back to comfort her.

Ji Nanfeng had heard Ruan Tang mention Fang Kai and the twin sisters, so as soon as they met, he asked, "When was the last time you saw Fang Kai?"

When Fang Ni heard this, tears started to fall.

Sister Fang Honghong was furious: "Are you guys done yet? Didn't we just record a confession? Instead of looking for someone, you keep asking again and again. What's going on?"

Ji Nanfeng asked Fang Hong to calm down. "Comrade Fang, I don't know if you remember Dean Ruan Tang. I am his predecessor."

Fang Hong was stunned. She remembered Dean Ruan. If it weren't for Dean Ruan's reminder, she wouldn't have known Fang Kai was such a person. But she was useless and couldn't persuade her sister.

"I heard about Dean Ruan's experience in the newspaper. Good deeds will be rewarded, and she will be fine."

When she heard that volunteers were pleading for Ruan Tang, she also participated and signed.

Seeing that his sister Fang Hongni was emotionally unstable, Ji Nanfeng asked Fang Honghong to step aside and talk.

Fang Hong thought about it and agreed for the sake of Dean Ruan.

The two of them stood at the door so that they would not be misunderstood and would be sure to be discovered if anyone approached.

Ji Nanfeng said: "Fang Kai is related to my wife's case. We now suspect that the twin brother is Fang Kai's."

“How is this possible!!!”

Fang Hong instinctively didn't want to believe it, but when she thought about the person she asked to help investigate Fang Kai's reputation as the No. 1 in the province, that person did say that Fang Kai was having an affair with a married woman.

In this way, everything matches up.

It took Fang Hong a while to calm down. "Will Fang Kai be harmed by those two families?"

Ji Nanfeng didn't say anything.

This time, without Ji Nanfeng's urging, Fang Hong told him what she knew.

"My sister is pregnant. When I told Fang Kai the good news, he was very happy, but he was hoping for a daughter... Four days ago, Fang Kai suddenly disappeared from the hospital. When he wanted to drink water, he had to rely on the patient in the next bed to help him. My father was furious..."

"The last time my dad saw Fang Kai was the afternoon before yesterday. Fang Kai had suddenly disappeared again, and my dad was furious, saying that all live-in sons-in-law were black-hearted and their true colors were revealed after getting the marriage certificate. My sister was also embarrassed by the scolding. She felt that my dad was right and was deliberately trying to keep Fang Kai out of the spotlight to see where he could go.

Fang Kai didn't come home for two days, so my sister got anxious. She went to his workplace and the guesthouse, but couldn't find him, so she had no choice but to report him to the police."

Ji Nanfeng thanked Fang Hong for her trust. "If you have any news about Fang Kai, please let Dr. Gong Huamao at Xieyi know. Also, could you give me a photo of Fang Kai?"

Fang Hong nodded. "It just so happens that Fang Kai and my sister took wedding photos a while ago."

Ji Nanfeng went home with Fang Hong and her sister and asked for a recent photo of Fang Kai.

Holding a recent photo of Fang Kai, Ji Nanfeng went to Xieyi Hospital to ask if anyone had seen Fang Kai go out with someone the day before...

Their hard work paid off, and they finally found a cleaner who was responsible for the hospital's garbage. The couple took care of Fang Kai and a half-grown child.

The child gave Fang Kai a pair of tiger-head shoes and a letter. After reading the letter, Fang Kai tore it up and threw it into the trash can, then left with the tiger-head shoes.

He originally thought that Fang Kai would throw away a pair of tiger-head shoes. Although there was only one pair of shoes, the materials and workmanship looked good, so someone might buy it. Therefore, he paid special attention to it.

As for the child, the cleaner also knew him and saw that he picked up trash in this area every day.

Because there are many patients hospitalized in Xieyi and Xieyi, and when they are discharged from the hospital due to serious illness or go home to wait for death, they will throw away the things they used in the hospital because they think it is unlucky and they are unwilling to bring bad luck home.

Because the child was small, he could never compete with the older children and adults in the fight, so he could only pick up things that others didn't want, and only occasionally was he lucky.

Following the cleaner's guidance, Ji Nanfeng found the child, took out Fang Kai's photo and asked him if he knew him.

The boy looked at Ji Nanfeng timidly, as if frightened by Ji Nanfeng, and wiped away his tears secretly.

He sobbed and said, "I don't know who it was, but he gave me five taels of silver."

The fact that they were able to lead Fang Kai away from his new father-in-law, whom he was trying to curry favor with, by using well-made tiger-head shoes proved that they must be from the Fenggui family.

All we need to do is give the boy the photos of Feng Gui's two families and he should be able to identify who it is.

Ji Nanfeng asked the boy for help, explaining that his father-in-law, Ruan Congqian, was Xie Er's doctor. "If you're worried, I can take you and your family to Xie Er to meet my father-in-law first."

Tears still hung in the boy's eyes. "Are you Dr. Ruan Congqian's son-in-law?"

Ji Nanfeng nodded.

"I heard that Dr. Ruan's daughter is also a doctor. She was wrongly accused, and her family is looking for evidence. So, am I also evidence?"

Ji Nanfeng didn't expect that the child was so perceptive. He didn't hide it and nodded.

The boy wiped away his tears and said, "What are you waiting for? Let's go."

"But before that, I have to tell your family first. Otherwise, they will definitely be worried if they can't find you."

The boy shook his head. "My family is all dead. I can make my own food."

Ji Nanfeng was stunned and thanked the boy solemnly.

On the way back to the Ruan family courtyard, Ji Nanfeng learned that his name was Yu Xiaowu, he was eight years old this year, and he had been living alone since his grandfather died two years ago.

I work hard every day, and if I can pick up a washbasin or a bucket and sell it at the recycling station, I can get several dollars.

The five taels of silver that man gave him that day was more than what he had saved in a year. It was a huge sum of money, and he remembered the man's face.

After the two returned to the courtyard, Ruan Li asked in surprise, "Xiao Wu, Xiao Ji... why are you here together?"

Ji Nanfeng didn't expect that Ruan Xi actually knew Yu Xiaowu, so he simply explained the situation to Ruan Xi, "Mom, get Yu Xiaowu something to eat. I'm going out to get something and will be back soon."

Ji Nanfeng went to the archives/bureau and applied to retrieve photos from the files of everyone in the Gui and Feng families, and took them home for Yu Xiaowu to identify them.

After looking at the photos of everyone in the Gui family, Yu Xiaowu shook his head.

Ji Nanfeng and Ruan Qi looked at each other and took out photos of the Gui family.

Not at all!

Could it be that he had made a mistake in his assumptions?

Ji Nanfeng thought of the tiger-head shoes. The reason why the cautious Fang Kai kept the appointment after reading a letter and a pair of tiger-head shoes must be because of his son!

Did they choose another passerby to deliver the letter?

If they chose a passerby to deliver the letter, they would definitely worry about the letter being read by others.

They chose Yu Xiaowu because he was young, dressed in rags, and it was obvious that he had never been to school.

Therefore, the person who smuggled the letter and tiger-head shoes to Yu Xiaowu was not from the Feng and Gui families, but must be someone close to them... the Liu family!

President Liu’s family!

Feng Shao went to the provincial capital to recuperate. The Feng family had no time to take care of him, so the Liu family rushed over to take care of him.

Ji Nanfeng immediately retrieved the Liu family's files.

This time, Yu Xiaowu finally clicked on someone's photo.

"That person looks like this one, but not as young. A little older."

Ji Nanfeng's eyes lit up. Mr. Liu's second son.

This photo was taken seven or eight years ago when Liu Er just started working. Seven or eight years have passed, and he is old now. If he doesn't age, he would be a goblin.

Since it was Liu Er who helped deliver the letter, we can be sure that it was the Feng family who wanted to talk to Fang Kai.
