Chapter 51 Chapter 51 Whose Child is Ning Shengtian
Chapter 51
"Grandma, you're lying! You're lying! It was you who told my brother that my safety rope was newer and stronger, and that's why you asked him to switch with me!"
Xiao Cuihua ran in crying and loudly told the truth about changing the safety rope.
Her appearance caught Ning's mother in the room off guard, and her expression instantly turned ugly.
Ning's mother didn't expect that Xiao Cuihua would hear her "testimony".
Qin Ye sat by the window of the guesthouse, quietly looking at Ning's mother who was sitting on the bed opposite. She did not ask the other party why she lied, because she knew very well that Ning's mother would definitely choose to use "I had no idea" as an excuse.
So she asked, "I heard from Ning Biao that you and your husband Ning Zuobao have always disliked Xiao Cuihua. Why did your attitude towards her suddenly change two months ago?"
Not only did the precocious Xiao Cuihua herself notice this, but other people in the circus also realized the change in the two men's attitude towards her.
Gao Lanlan just mentioned this during the questioning and cursed Xiao Cuihua angrily. She believed that Xiao Cuihua used seductive tactics to divert the attention of her parents-in-law from her son Shengtian.
Qin Ye felt that there must be something hidden behind the change in Ning Biao's parents' attitude towards their grandchildren.
…
Mother Ning's fingers clenched the bed sheet tightly. After a long while of mental preparation, she smiled and looked at Qin Ye: "Comrade Public Security, we treat Cuicui well because we have thought it through. Even if she is a girl, she is our only precious granddaughter. We must treat her well."
After she finished speaking, without waiting for Qin Ye's response, she turned around and looked at the door, clapped her hands at Xiao Cuihua, and said in a pretentious manner, "Cuicui, come, come to grandma."
Children are most sensitive to adults' likes and dislikes.
Xiao Cuihua ran into the room, hid behind Qin Ye, and gently tugged at the corner of her clothes: "Sister Public Security, no, my father is the only one in the circus who treats me well."
She could feel that her grandparents' kindness to her was not sincere at all, and it seemed more like they were doing it to deliberately irritate her mother.
"They are always nice to me in front of my mother, but when she's not around, they ignore me."
Xiao Cuihua seemed to have long been accustomed to the indifference of her relatives. When she said these things, her tone was very calm, without any sadness at all.
Gao Lanlan's madness is only directed at Xiao Cuihua. In front of others, she is very sweet-mouthed and makes Ning Biao's parents like her and treat her like their own daughter.
Gao Lanlan didn't like Xiao Cuihua, so they chose to turn a blind eye and pretend not to see it when Gao Lanlan bullied Xiao Cuihua. Sometimes he would secretly warn Xiao Cuihua to keep her mouth shut and not tell Ning Biao that Gao Lanlan had beaten her.
Of course, Ning Biao is not blind.
Because Gao Lanlan hurt his daughter, he quarreled with her every now and then, and at one point they were even ready to divorce.
It was Gao Qingan who came forward and apologized to Ning Biao on behalf of Gao Lanlan, begging him to forgive Gao Lanlan for the sake of the two children.
Gao Lanlan was afraid that Ning Biao would really divorce her, so she finally restrained herself a little. Ning's father and mother couldn't control their son, so they could only make up for the "wrongs" Gao Lanlan suffered by being extra nice to her.
But recently, Mr. and Mrs. Ning's attitude towards Gao Lanlan has suddenly become cold. They always deliberately show their love for their granddaughter in front of Gao Lanlan.
At first, Gao Lanlan was willing to be patient and continue to please the old couple.
Later on, she couldn't pretend any longer and had a big fight with the two of them. It was also at that time that Gao Qing'an told Ning Biao that if their Ning family dared to bully Gao Lanlan again, he would kill everyone in the Ning family.
…
Qin Ye highlighted Ning's mother, Ning Zuobao and the Gao brothers and sisters in the transcript.
She was certain that the suspect who murdered Ning Shengtian was among the four of them.
Even though Ning's mother and Ning Zuobao refused to say anything, she knew that there must be other hidden stories behind the change in their attitude towards Gao Lanlan.
Qin Ye currently does not have any more evidence to prove that the murderer is Ning Biao's parents or Gao Lanlan.
However, based on the existing evidence and accusations, Gao Qingan, the most suspected person, can be temporarily taken back to the Public Security Bureau to assist in the investigation.
Gao Qing'an had been in charge of keeping the safety rope, and there was residue of Ning Shengtian's motorcycle oil on his palm. In addition, everyone said that Gao Qing'an had indeed threatened to kill the entire Ning family.
Taking him back to the Public Security Bureau for investigation is in accordance with procedural regulations.
…
County Public Security Bureau interrogation room.
Gao Qing'an was locked up alone in the interrogation room. He looked at the empty interrogation seat opposite him and felt extremely uneasy.
Why, why does all the evidence point to him? ! !
How could he possibly defeat Sheng Tianxia...
Crunch——
Li Quan pushed open the door of the interrogation room and went in first. Qin Ye was still at the door when he heard Gao Qingan shouting and trying his best to prove his innocence: "It's not me! Public Security Comrade, I didn't kill anyone! I couldn't have killed Shengtian!"
A look of joy flashed across Qin Ye's eyes.
Based on her previous dealings with Gao Qing'an and the descriptions from other people in the acrobatic troupe, she had a general idea of Gao Qing'an's character.
Gao Qing'an is an impulsive person who thinks he is smart, but in fact he doesn't have much brains.
On the surface, he was on good terms with Ning Biao and pretended to be a good person, but he was secretly doing things behind his back and even reported Ning Biao to his parents, fabricating that Ning Biao was dissatisfied with them.
Ning Biao was aware of this matter, and his father and mother were not fools.
All three of them knew that Gao Qing'an's move was intended to alienate the Ning family. He wanted to please Ning Biao's parents and replace Ning Biao as the head of the acrobatic troupe.
Gao Qingan thought he was doing a thorough job, but he didn't know that the Ning family was just playing dumb with him.
Ning Biao knew that no matter how badly he had a falling out with his parents, they would never really hold a grudge against him. Not to mention, the Ning family's acrobatics place great emphasis on blood inheritance, so how could they really hand over the acrobatic troupe to an outsider?
Ning's parents thought the same thing. They pretended to be stupid because they felt that Gao Qing'an was more caring than Ning Biao. As long as they don't expose Gao Qingan's little thoughts, Gao Qingan will always try to please and serve them.
…
Qin Ye decided to start with Gao Qingan, on the one hand because all the existing evidence pointed to him, and on the other hand because Gao Qingan was much easier to deal with than Ning Biao's parents.
Just as she and Li Quan had just left Gao Qingan alone for an hour, he started to panic.
She concealed the smile in her eyes, walked straight into the interrogation room, sat next to Li Quan, opened the transcript on the table, and didn't even look at Gao Qingan.
Li Quan always had a tacit understanding with her. He lowered his head, holding the enamel pot and pretending to sip tea. He was also slow to start the interrogation.
"Comrade Gong'an, it's not me. I can't kill Shengtian. I'm his——"
Gao Qingan half-stretched forward, excitedly wanting to prove his innocence, but he stopped talking halfway, "——Uncle. I am his uncle, how could I kill Shengtian."
Hearing this, Li Quan slowly raised his head and pretended to be nonchalant, "Why not? Everyone in the circus said that you have always wanted to be the head of the circus. But everyone knows that when Ning Shengtian grows up, the circus will belong to him."
Qin Ye even took out an invoice and presented the evidence directly: "Before your performance the day before yesterday, you said that your motorcycle parts were broken, so you went to the county to buy a bottle of motorcycle lubricant. But why, by coincidence, lubricant appeared in Ning Shengtian's palm."
After discovering lubricant residue on Ning Shengtian's palm, she asked Ning Biao to send the steel wire used by Ning Shengtian for the performance to the inspection department.
Sure enough, traces of motorcycle lubricant were also found on the steel wire.
However, there was no trace of lubricant on the steel wire on Xiao Cuihua's end.
In other words, the murderer's target was Ning Shengtian from the very beginning.
…
Gao Qingan had no way to defend himself.
He pounded his head hard, trying to search his memory for other people's abnormal behavior so as to prove his innocence to the police, but he could not remember anything.
He usually puts miscellaneous items such as safety ropes into a box for unified storage.
There was a lock on the box, and he and Ning Biao used to have one key each. Ever since Ning Biao had a conflict with his father, his father took back Ning Biao's keys and gave both keys to him.
It was precisely because of this action of Ning's father that Gao Qing'an became more confident and believed that sooner or later he would be able to replace Ning Biao's position in Ning's father's heart.
But now, the key to keeping his miscellaneous items has become his "death warrant".
No one except himself could open the box and tamper with the safety rope. No one could steal the motorcycle lubricant in the box and smear it on the steel wire used by Ning Shengtian for performance.
…
"It's not me! Public Security Comrade! It's really not me!"
Gao Qingan steeled himself, closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, and spoke out the secret that had been buried in his heart, "Shengtian is my son! He is the biological son of Lanlan and me, how could I be so cruel to him!"
Qin Ye and Li Quan were not surprised to hear Gao Qingan confess Ning Shengtian's life experience.
The two looked at each other, and saw the meaning of "as expected" in each other's eyes.
Qin Ye had already noticed the unusual intimacy between Gao Qingan and Gao Lanlan when they were in the car. Even though Gao Qingan later explained that the two were siblings.
She still had some doubts about their relationship.
The little actions that Gao Qing'an and Gao Lanlan revealed from time to time were really too intimate. In addition, during the interrogation, Gao Lanlan's excessive attachment to Gao Qing'an in her words made her suspicious of the two of them.
Now, everything is clear.
If Ning Shengtian is really Gao Qingan's son, then the change in attitude of Ning Biao's parents towards Gao Lanlan and her son, including the accusations against Gao's "brothers and sisters", can be explained.
It is very likely that Ning Biao's parents discovered that Ning Shengtian was not their biological grandson, so they decided to kill him.
This also explains why the wire used by Ning Shengtian during his performance was lubricated.
…
Qin Ye called Hu Xuan from the laboratory to collect Gao Qingan's blood so that he could compare his blood relationship with Ning Shengtian.
Gao Qingan had his blood sample taken. He realized that this might be his only chance to prove his innocence. Without waiting for her to ask again, he began to talk to himself: "Lanlan and I are not siblings at all. We are lovers. We live in the same village. Most people in the village have the surname Gao, so we have the same surname."
Later, Gaojia Village suffered a disaster and only Gao Qing'an and Gao Lanlan were left from the two families.
After discussing it, the two men made up their minds and decided to flee and make a living.
They were lucky enough to meet the Ning Acrobatic Troupe who were willing to take them in. But life in the acrobatic troupe was not easy either. They didn't have any special skills and they couldn't stay in the troupe forever.
The two then addressed each other as brother and sister, and even designed a plan to have Gao Lanlan marry Ning Biao.
Before Gao Qingan could finish, Hu Xuan knocked on the door of the interrogation room again: "Qin Ye, Gao Lanlan also came to the Public Security Bureau. She said that Ning Shengtian is not Gao Qingan's child."
