Chapter 82: Capturing Zhang Ma
Gu Yanran reached out and covered Jiang Ruyun's hand on her leg, and said softly, "Mom, I'm so sad. No one expected this to happen. No matter what, you have to take care of yourself. I will accompany you well in my sister's place in the future."
Jiang Ruyun looked at her, her expression somewhat moved. She said nothing, but just silently patted the back of her hand.
"I don't know what Aunt Zhang's motive was to kill my sister. No matter what, we must not let her go easily. We must make sure she gets the punishment she deserves." Gu Yanran said again.
Speaking of Zhang Ma, Jiang Ruyun's eyes turned cold, "I know."
She pulled her hand free and stood up from the sofa, "I'll go upstairs first, Yanran."
Gu Yanran stood up and held her arm, "Mom, why don't I go up with you to accompany my sister."
She paused and continued, "The main reason is that I'm really worried about your condition. You almost fell down just now. I'd better help you up."
Jiang Ruyun didn't refuse and nodded. With her support, she walked around the sofa and went upstairs.
......
Soon, Gu Yuntian and Gu Yu came back one after another.
The two have not recovered from the time they received the news.
Gu Yu looked at Li Zhi's 'corpse' on the bed, his brows full of disbelief. He couldn't believe his eyes and said excitedly: "Mom, what's going on? My sister is fine, why is there no one here?!"
Jiang Ruyun seemed not to hear what he said. She said nothing and just stared at Li Zhi blankly.
Gu Yuntian seemed much calmer than them. After all, as the pillar of the family, he naturally couldn't fall down at this time.
But the redness at the corners of his eyes still revealed the pain he felt as a father for losing his daughter. At this moment, his heart was also in extreme pain, but he did not show it completely on his face.
Gu Yuntian sighed, knowing that Jiang Ruyun was devastated and in no mood to talk. He raised his hand and patted Gu Yu's shoulder, telling him everything he knew.
After hearing this, Gu Yu's eyes flashed with coldness, "Are you sure it was Aunt Zhang who did it?"
"She seems to be the most suspicious at the moment. Her sudden disappearance at this time is self-evident." Gu Yuntian paused and continued, "Don't worry, I have sent people to capture her. She can't get away."
Gu Yu frowned, a little confused, "But why did Aunt Zhang attack my sister? There's no hatred between them, right?"
"We don't know that. We can only wait until we catch her and interrogate her in detail," said Gu Yuntian.
Gu Yu withdrew his gaze and looked at Li Zhi lying on the bed again. His hands hanging by his side were clenched into fists, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
I never thought that a living person who was still healthy yesterday would suddenly disappear today.
Gu Yu's gaze fell on Li Yanjing, who was also silent, and he felt even more upset. The heartache in his eyes could not be concealed. Such a young child had lost his mother.
He walked over, without saying a word, and just reached out and touched his head.
Li Yanjing looked up at him, her eyelashes twitching, knowing that he was trying to comfort her.
At this time, Gu Yuntian's cell phone rang.
He took out his phone from his pocket and glanced at the message he received. His eyes fixed, and he said, "We've caught Aunt Zhang."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the room looked at him.
Gu Yuntian put away his phone and raised his chin slightly, "Let's all go down."
Gu Yanran responded, bent down, helped Jiang Ruyun stand up from the bed, and left the room first.
Li Yanjing was led by Gu Yu and followed.
......
Downstairs living room.
Aunt Zhang had just been caught and was kneeling on the ground with her head down.
Jiang Ruyun came down from upstairs and her eyes fell on her. Thinking that she was the murderer of her daughter, her originally dead face finally showed some expression.
She pulled her arm free, rushed forward, and slapped Zhang Ma in the face. She was so emotional that she demanded, "Tell me, why did you do this?!"
"How has our Gu family wronged you that you would harm my daughter like this?"
Zhang Ma was hit so hard that her face tilted to the side, not daring to look up at her. "I just couldn't stand her. I saw her sleeping, and I got carried away and hit her..."
"What did Zhizhi do to you that makes you dislike her?" Jiang Ruyun asked.
Aunt Zhang's eyes flickered, and she blurted out the words she had prepared long ago, "The eldest lady mentioned my dead daughter right after she came back. This is something I don't want to recall. Isn't she stabbing me in the heart?"
Gu Yu frowned when he heard this, feeling that the reason she gave was a bit far-fetched.
This hurt wouldn't amount to murder, but apart from Aunt Zhang, no one else seemed to be a suspect.
"Auntie Zhang, you're so brave! No matter what, you can't kill anyone!" Gu Yanran turned to look at Gu Yuntian and continued, "Dad, let's send her to jail right away."
Gu Yuntian always felt that catching the murderer was going too smoothly, so smoothly that it was a little strange, and there was something indescribably weird about it.
Moreover, he thought the same as Gu Yu, and both felt that Zhang Ma's explanation was a bit far-fetched.
Aunt Zhang had worked in the Gu family for nearly thirty years, and he felt from the bottom of his heart that she would not do such a thing as killing someone in the heat of the moment.
You cannot fully understand a person in thirty days, but you cannot not know what kind of person she is in thirty years.
The only other possibility is that she has been disguising herself too well.
But now all suspicion points to Zhang Ma, and she herself has confessed to the crime, so it could only be her who did it.
Gu Yuntian collected his thoughts and was about to say something when he suddenly heard Li Yanjing's voice.
"Grandpa, I think to be on the safe side, we should take the pillow used as the murder weapon and inspect it to see if the fingerprints on it are Zhang Ma's."
As soon as these words were spoken, Gu Yanran instantly lost her composure.
Why is it this little bastard again? It was almost over when he suddenly intervened.
He is the one I should deal with the most. He is even more hateful than Li Zhi.
"I've seen police officers solve cases this way on TV dramas," said Li Yanjing.
Gu Yanran pinched her hands, trying not to panic, and said, "That's a TV show. I think this is completely unnecessary. Didn't Aunt Zhang admit that she did it?"
"But I suddenly remembered that when my mother had the accident, I clearly saw Aunt Zhang downstairs."
Li Yanjing turned to look at Jiang Ruyun, "Grandma, do you remember when we went downstairs and put the food back in the dining room? I saw Aunt Zhang cleaning the dining room at that time."
Jiang Ruyun recalled and nodded, "Yes, that's right."
"Then after we came out of the restaurant, we sat in the living room and chatted." Li Yanjing continued.
