Chapter 160 Secret
Xia Mufan observed carefully from the side and Lu Qiaoling's expression did not seem like she was lying. Although she had grievances against Zou Chengye, they had not yet risen to the level of hatred and revenge. Moreover, her personality is not sharp, and she does things calmly and moderately. She is not like the kind of person who hides hatred in her heart and acts in extremes.
It seems that the person who secretly wrote the threatening letters and made the threatening phone calls was not Lu Qiaoling.
After making this judgment, Xia Mufan stood up and took the initiative to extend his hand to Lu Qiaoling: "Thank you for cooperating with our investigation. If you have any new clues, please contact our Serious Case Team 7 in time."
Lu Qiaoling also stood up, stretched out her hand to shake Xia Mufan's, and smiled gently: "You're welcome. Cooperating with the police investigation is the obligation of every citizen."
After the investigation, Xia Mufan walked out of the reception room of Jinxin Securities Company. Manager Huang, who had been responsible for receiving them, followed them out quickly and saw them to the door attentively. Lu Qiaoling said nothing and silently saw them off.
After returning to the Criminal Investigation Brigade, everyone sat at the conference table and spontaneously picked up their teacups and took a big sip of tea.
No one is used to the coffee at Jinxin Securities. They always feel it is sticky in their throats and is not as refreshing as a cup of coarse tea in the office.
Sun Xianbing put down his teacup and sighed heavily.
Gong Weiguo thought he was sad about the failure of the mission, so he comforted him: "Xianbing, it's okay. This is not a mission failure. At least Lu Qiaoling's suspicion has been cleared. At worst, we can start over and continue looking."
Sun Xianbing shook his head. "It's okay that we haven't found the suspect. I just feel sorry for Lu Qiaoling. She gave up on graduate school because her family suffered a misfortune. When she explained the situation to her teacher, Zou Chengye ignored her and showed no sympathy. He just criticized her for wasting a quota and gave her a failing grade for her graduation thesis. It's really unethical to use the teacher's privilege to retaliate against students."
At this point, Sun Xianbing paused for a moment and sighed again: "We are all educated, and we know that the attitude of teachers has a great influence on students during school. A teacher's random criticism or abuse may ruin a child's life."
Except for Yu Jing, the other four members of Serious Crime Unit 7 had all participated in graduation thesis defense, and everyone fell silent at the same time.
Xia Mufan recalled the graduation thesis defense. Although the conditions were simple and the teachers sitting opposite him were familiar teachers, facing the teachers' cautious gazes and listening to them ask question after question, the tension at that time, looking back now, seems like it was just yesterday.
Feng Xiaoyu sighed: "If my advisor gave me a failing grade for my graduation thesis, I would probably cry during the defense."
Xia Mushige said: "If it were me, I would definitely quarrel with the teacher. Anyway, all the teachers in our college know that I am not an obedient person."
I don't know what's wrong with Sun Xianbing. Today he especially likes to sigh: "Alas, sometimes the more obedient students are, the more likely they are to be bullied by teachers. Lu Qiaoling was actually too obedient at the time. If she had the courage to take her thesis to the department to appeal, perhaps the result would be different. After all, the evaluation of the quality of the graduation thesis is not decided by the tutor alone. If there are objections, the academic committee will discuss and review it. But unfortunately, she did not take any action to resist, so naturally others would not say anything."
Feng Xiaoyu had a good impression of Lu Qiaoling: "She was obedient because she was too kind. She always thought it was her own fault when something happened to her. Just like what she told us just now, her mother taught her not to feel resentful, saying that there is cause and effect. It was because she gave up the quota that the teacher retaliated against her, and this retaliation was the consequence she had to bear."
Xia Mushige said: "There is nothing wrong with cause and effect, but this effect is not unchangeable. If you feel it is unfair, then work hard to break it and change it. Why endure it silently?"
Because his mother was missing, it was not uncommon for Xia Mushi to suffer discrimination and prejudice since childhood. If she had endured silently without any resistance, how could she have the life she has now?
Hearing Xia Mufan's words and seeing the unyielding spirit in her eyes, Sun Xianbing couldn't help but be infected by Xia Mufan's spirit of resistance and excitedly slammed the table: "Yes, Xia Xia is right. No matter what the cause is, as long as we feel it is unfair, we must work hard to fight against it and never tolerate it."
The members of Serious Crime Unit 7 looked at each other, with gleams in their eyes. At this moment, everyone seemed to be united in their efforts to break all the injustices in the world.
Gong Weiguo snorted, "Zou Chengye is not a good guy. He is now frightened and in a state of panic. According to the theory of cause and effect, he deserves it."
Feng Xiaoyu's eyes flashed with confusion: "Then why should we help Zou Chengye?"
Xia Mufan shook his head: "No, we are not helping Zou Chengye, but we are helping the person who hates Zou Chengye and wants him to pay for his blood debt with blood."
Feng Xiaoyu and several others also reacted.
"Yes, we have to find him and stop him in time, so that he won't go further down the wrong path."
With this belief, the members of Serious Crime Unit 7 rekindled their fighting spirit.
Everyone shifted their focus to Zou Bu Ran and Cai Qing Lian.
At this moment, the Household Registration Section of the Xing City Public Security Bureau sent a fax containing the personal information of Zou Bu Ran and Cai Qing Lian.
In the photo, Cai Qinglian looks to be in her 30s, with slightly dark skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes. There is a sharpness in her eyes, and it can be seen that she is a person with a strong personality.
Cai Qinglian and Zou Chengye were college classmates. After graduation, they were assigned to work in a state-owned bank in Xing City. He is only in his early 30s and has already become a deputy division-level cadre. If it weren't for his mental problems, he should have a bright future.
In May 1985, Cai Qinglian was admitted to a mental hospital. She was discharged in October of the same year, divorced Zou Chengye, and went through the medical retirement procedures at the bank. From then on, she lived on a meager medical retirement salary and support from her mother's family.
After her parents divorced, Zou Bu Ran took the initiative to stay with her mother. While taking care of her mother, she studied hard. In 1992, she was successfully admitted to Tongji University's architecture major. Architecture requires 5 years of study, and she is now in the graduation design stage.
Judging from the photos, Zou Bu Ran looks more like Zou Chengye, with a straight nose, a stubborn expression, tightly pursed lips, and a broad forehead. She is a pretty girl.
Xia Mufan looked at Zou Buran's photo, thinking about everything that the mother and daughter had experienced over the years, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
The information faxed over is limited, but it can be seen from this limited information that after their divorce in 1985, Cai Qinglian and Zou Chengye embarked on two completely different paths.
Cai Qinglian's career took a sharp turn for the worse, from an outstanding cadre trained by a bank to a mentally ill patient who retired due to illness. Her family was broken and she only had one daughter. One can imagine how many cold stares and contemptuous looks she had to endure.
But what about Zou Chengye? After he fell from Xing City to Hui City, his career flourished and he became a well-known expert in the financial circle. In his spare time, he also invested in the stock market and made a lot of money. He has a harmonious family, a gentle wife and a well-behaved son. He has achieved success in both love and career.
The couple, who had fought side by side and supported each other, led completely different lives after their divorce. The gap was so huge. I wonder what Cai Qinglian was thinking? I wonder if Zou Chengye would feel a little guilty if he knew his ex-wife’s current situation?
Xia Xia Mufan was deep in thought when he suddenly heard Gong Weiguo say, "Oh, Zou Bu Ran studied architecture, so he must know a lot about decoration, right? Could it be that he hired someone to install the mechanism in Zou Chengye's kitchen?"
Gong Weiguo's words immediately resonated with everyone.
"Don't tell me, Zou Bu Ran studied architecture, so he must be very familiar with decoration, wiring and so on. It should be possible to ask someone to do such a small thing as long as he is willing to spend money."
"Yes, she is in the graduation project stage now, so she should have more free time and can move around more easily."
"I wonder if Zou Bu Ran has ever met his father. After more than a decade, when his daughter has grown up, will his father be able to recognize him?"
I'm afraid I have to ask Zou Chengye the last question.
Feng Xiaoyu sighed, "His parents are divorced, his father doesn't care, and he has a mother with a mental illness. It's really not easy for Zou Bu Ran to grow up to this day."
Gong Weiguo responded quickly, "So, Zou Buran is filled with hatred for his father and took extreme measures of revenge?"
Yu Jing shook his head: "The threatening letter said that blood debts must be paid with blood. Isn't that a bit too much? Zou Chengye cheated on his wife and abandoned his marriage, which is indeed against morality, but... it's not a blood feud, right?"
Feng Xiaoyu snorted, "You men may not think it's a blood feud, but to a 10-year-old child, it is a blood feud, um, the blood of blood relationship."
As we were talking, there was a knock on the office door.
Yue Yuan walked in with a file bag in his hand and said seriously, "Xia Mufan, the case file you wanted."
Xia Mufan took the file bag and saw Yue Yuan's face was as gloomy as water. He couldn't help but ask, "Master, what's wrong?"
Yue Yuan's voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth: "You will know when you see it."
What is the case? How could it possibly stir up such intense emotions in Yue Yuan?
The members of the Serious Crime Unit 7 were all curious and quickly urged Xia Mufan to take out the case file. Everyone gathered together to look at it.
The files are not originals but photocopies. The images and text are slightly distorted, but it does not affect the reading.
Gu Shaoqi had a good memory, and the entire process of the case was not much different from what he described, but what moved Xia Muchan was the name of the woman who reported the case.
——This woman’s name is Cai Qinglian.
For a moment, everyone felt a chill down their spine.
If this is the case, then Cai Qinglian really has a tragic fate.
Just when his career was booming, he suddenly suffered from mental problems.
What made her suddenly go insane and imagine being threatened and hurt one after another?
Everything that Zou Chengye is experiencing now is exactly the same as what Cai Qinglian described when she reported the case twelve years ago.
This is no coincidence.
What secrets are hidden behind the case?
Who is controlling all this?
