Chapter 83 Zhang Ma reveals herself
"Yes." Jiang Ruyun responded.
"If Aunt Zhang wanted to go upstairs, she would have to pass through the living room." Li Yanjing raised his hand and pointed at the sofa. "I was sitting right here at the time, so I could see if anyone was going upstairs."
"But I remember that until I returned to my room upstairs, I didn't see Aunt Zhang come out of the dining room, pass through the living room, and then go upstairs."
Li Yanjing glanced at Gu Yanran from the corner of his eye and continued clearly, "So I don't think the murderer is Aunt Zhang. We should call the police and let them investigate. With their professional ability, they will definitely find the real murderer."
Gu Yanran's breathing became a little rapid, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes. She pulled the corner of her mouth and said, "You can't have been staring in that direction. I guess Aunt Zhang sneaked upstairs when you weren't paying attention."
"I can't rule out this possibility, so I said that to be on the safe side, we still need to do a fingerprint test. If there are Zhang Ma's fingerprints on the pillow, then she is the murderer."
Li Yanjing paused, looking at Gu Yanran with deep eyes, and said slowly, "But if not, it means that Aunt Zhang is protecting the real murderer and wants to take the blame for the murderer."
Gu Yanran met his eyes and her heart skipped a beat. Has he already started to suspect her?
Is this really a five-year-old child? He must have become a spirit.
Gu Yuntian had always felt that this matter was suspicious, and now after hearing what Li Yanjing said, he also felt that the murderer might not be Aunt Zhang.
He fixed his gaze on Aunt Zhang lying on the ground. His eyes were sharp, and he said in a deep voice, "Aunt Zhang, I'll give you one more chance. Did you do this? If you still want to protect the people behind you, don't even think about letting it go after we find out the truth. If it's serious, you'll also go to jail, understand?"
Aunt Zhang's body trembled slightly. "It was me, no one else. I was the one who killed the young lady."
"Raise your head." Gu Yuntian said.
Aunt Zhang slowly raised her head, trying not to look at Gu Yanran. Although her face showed fear, she still insisted that she was the one who killed Li Zhi.
Gu Yuntian sat down on the sofa behind him again, retracted his gaze, took out his cell phone from his pocket, and prepared to call the police.
Seeing this, Gu Yanran's pupils suddenly contracted. If they called the police to investigate and conduct a fingerprint test, she would be finished. She quickly spoke out to stop them, "Dad, Aunt Zhang has already admitted that she did it. There's no need to waste time calling the police to investigate."
Li Yanjing tilted his head, reached out and tugged at Gu Yu's hand, and said, "Uncle, Aunt Yanran doesn't seem to want us to call the police..."
Gu Yu frowned and naturally noticed this.
Why would a normal person stop someone from calling the police? Unless this matter was related to her, he couldn't believe that it was related to Gu Yanran. However, her behavior was very contradictory and strange. "Sister Yanran, do you know something...?"
Gu Yanran's expression stiffened, her fingertips hanging at her sides slightly tensed, and she said calmly, "What can I know? I just feel that when the murderer is clearly right in front of us, why do we still need to call the police for fingerprint testing? We should let my sister rest in peace as soon as possible and handle the funeral."
Gu Yuntian didn't suspect her and believed what she said. He waved his hand and said, "Funerals don't cost us this much time. What's important now is to find out who the murderer is. Although Aunt Zhang admitted that she did it, she might not be there at the moment, so we should leave it to professionals to investigate."
After saying that, he lowered his eyes and looked at his phone again and called the police station.
Aunt Zhang also knew that if the police came, the matter would become complicated. If there were any more fingerprints, Gu Yanran would be finished.
So at the moment the call was about to be connected, I told out the secret that had been buried deep in my heart for over twenty years, a secret that I thought no one would ever know.
"Yanran is my biological daughter!"
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone looked at her, their expressions were surprisingly consistent, shocked and stunned.
Gu Yanran was the first to react, her eyes widening, "Auntie Zhang, are you crazy? What nonsense are you talking about?"
Following closely behind was Jiang Ruyun, her brows filled with disbelief, and she briefly suspected she had misheard, "Auntie Zhang, what did you say?"
In order to protect Gu Yanran, Zhang Ma had already risked everything. "I was the one who secretly swapped the baby. My ex-husband was a gambler. I didn't want Yanran to suffer with me after she was born, so I came up with this idea, and in the end I did it."
Jiang Ruyun's temples were throbbing non-stop, and she finally realized that it was no wonder that Aunt Zhang and Gu Yanran looked a bit alike. They were mother and daughter, how could they not look alike!
There was fire in her eyes, and she pointed at Zhang Ma with trembling fingers, "How dare you...!"
Gu Yuntian's face was terribly gloomy. He could never imagine that this person was right under his nose. "But according to the information I have investigated, the information on the hospital registration form is not you. What's going on?"
"I used my twin sister's identity information." Aunt Zhang said truthfully.
"My parents divorced when my sister and I were young. My mother remarried and moved to the city with my sister. Later, her family moved to Beijing. It wasn't until I came to Beijing to work and earn money that I got in touch with my mother and sister again."
"So I planned to borrow my sister's ID card, register the birth at the hospital, and switch the babies in the nursery when the nurse wasn't paying attention."
Jiang Ruyun covered her chest and tearfully asked, "Since you switched, why didn't you raise Zhizhi and instead threw her to an orphanage?!"
"Raising her by your side is always a risk. I'm afraid that one day when she grows up, she'll appear in front of you when I'm not paying attention," explained Aunt Zhang.
"The main reason was that I couldn't bear to give up this nanny job. Not only was the salary high, but I could also accompany and take care of my own daughter as she grew up. Naturally, I didn't have the energy to take care of another one, so I sent her to an orphanage."
At this point, the truth of the wrong baby was finally revealed.
After hearing this, Gu Yanran froze in place, unable to believe that she was the daughter of a servant in the Gu family and that her biological father was a gambler.
She came to her senses and shook her head, "Impossible, you are lying, right? How could I be your daughter!"
Aunt Zhang didn't respond. She lowered her eyelashes and continued to speak to herself, "After Li Zhi was brought back, I watched helplessly as she took away all the love you had originally given to Yan Ran. I was afraid that Yan Ran would be driven out by you soon, so I had the idea of killing her."
"As long as Li Zhi dies, Yanran will still be your only daughter, and no one can take away her status as the eldest daughter of the Gu family."
