Chapter 52 Clues
The ideas of the members of Serious Crime Unit 7 began to run wild like wild horses.
In the end, all kinds of bloody plots were thought up by everyone.
"Perhaps the child who was taken away by mistake was also a female. During the Great Movement, she followed her parents to the countryside and lived in a cowshed, where she suffered a lot. When she learned that Xie Lijiao was living a very comfortable life in the chemical factory, married a gentle senior engineer, had a happy family, and gave birth to a disfigured son, she became jealous and sent her son to kill the three members of the Gu family. If forensic doctor Gu had not returned from college, it would probably have been a family massacre."
As soon as Feng Xiaoyu made this speculation, it was questioned by Sun Xianbing.
"First, the person who was wrongly shot has no blood relationship with Forensic Doctor Gu, so her son cannot look like Forensic Doctor Gu. Second, the murderer is obviously very familiar with the Gu family, and he specifically chose the time when Forensic Doctor Gu was not at home to come. Otherwise, no matter how good his skills are, he can't fight three people alone without making any noise."
Feng Xiaoyu curled her lips and said, "Then let's say they gave birth to another daughter and they didn't want Xie Lijiao to be recognized and divided up the family property, so they sent their son to kill someone. Isn't that reasonable?"
Gong Weiguo joined in the fun: "Is it possible that twins were born there? And one of them was taken away?"
Everyone was talking at once and the atmosphere became more and more lively.
Yue Yuan wanted to speak countless times, but after looking at Xia Mufan, he forced himself to hold back. This girl doesn't care about her relatives when she is concentrating on the case, so he'd better not make her unhappy.
It was also the first time that Gu Shaoqi heard so many magical stories, which broadened his horizons.
But my mind is a little confused.
His mother's life story is so bizarre?
Seeing that the plot was getting more and more outrageous, Gu Shaoqi raised his hand to interrupt the discussion: "I have my parents' DNA profile. We can ask my grandmother and uncle to do a test to find out whether they are biological children."
Xia Mufan nodded: "Okay, then I'll trouble the forensic doctor."
Gu Shaoqi smiled bitterly: "Why am I working hard? It's you who are working hard."
It was really difficult for the five young detectives from Serious Crime Unit 7 to rack their brains to come up with so many plot twists.
Yue Yuan then stood up and said, "Okay, let's wait a few more days before discussing the case."
While waiting for the test results, Xia Mufan and the entire team continued brainstorming.
Assuming that Xie Lijiao is not the biological child, why did the murderer kill Gu's parents but let Gu Shaoqi go?
If it was a dispute over family property, then Gu Shaoqi would logically be the most threatening opponent. Because the elderly who are getting old will be more inclined to invest their resources in a young heir who is both good-looking and capable.
In 1990, Gu Shaoqi was still in school. There were countless ways to make him die in an accident, such as depression caused by the death of his parents, falling from a building, taking poison, car accident... None of them would be too difficult for the cruel murderer.
Why did the other party keep Gu Shaoqi?
Is there some special reason, or has the opportunity never been found, or does the other party feel that keeping him won't cause any trouble?
Everyone racked their brains but still couldn't figure it out, so they could only wait for the result.
Three days later, Gu Shaoqi walked into the office of Serious Crime Unit 7 with a gloomy face.
Putting a report on the table, Gu Shaoqi pursed his lips and said, "My mother is not my biological child."
Everyone who had been anxiously waiting for the result said "Oh" at the same time, looking at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
If Xie Lijiao was really taken away by mistake, then who are her biological parents?
Gu Shaoqi raised his eyes and looked at Xia Mufan: "My grandmother's mind is a little confused now, and she has forgotten many things. But my uncle was eight or nine years old at that time, and he can remember when my mother was born. He said that the town hospital was in chaos at that time, and doctors and nurses had to be rushed. It seemed that two people gave birth in the delivery room, but he didn't pay attention to who the other one was."
Once the result was known, all the previous strange things made sense.
Xie Lijiao is the most beautiful, intelligent and skillful girl in the whole village, but her grandparents have always been unkind to her. Is it possible that they have doubts in their hearts and feel that she is not their biological daughter?
Xie Lijiao was very opinionated. After graduating from elementary school, she insisted on going to junior high school. When her parents opposed it, she went to the teacher, the village chief, and the director of the Women's Federation, and finally got the opportunity to go to junior high school. Her parents sold her for money, but she dared to escape from marriage and go to the chemical factory to take the recruitment exam. How could a rural girl get the courage and wisdom to fight for her own rights?
It turns out that Xie Lijiao's IQ and EQ were inherited from her biological parents.
Although she has never spent a day with her biological parents, the magical blood inheritance allows her to dare to think and act, and she is not afraid of difficulties and strives hard for a better life.
Xie Lijiao's biological parents must not be ordinary people.
Gu Shaoqi's voice was a little hoarse: "You guessed right. Then what?"
Xia Mufan has been thinking about this problem these days.
Facing Gu Shaoqi's gloomy eyes, Xia Mufan said softly: "There are two ways."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone gathered around.
Gong Weiguo was already impatient: "Which two methods are they? Tell me quickly."
Xia Mufan said: "The first method is to start the investigation from your mother, the forensic doctor Gu. As long as we find out who your mother's biological parents are, we can find the murderer."
Feng Xiaoyu shook her head repeatedly: "This method is too difficult. Forensic Doctor Gu's grandfather is dead, and his grandmother is confused and can't remember things. My uncle was just a child at that time. The town hospital fifty years ago couldn't have kept any files. Who was the woman who gave birth to a child at the same time as Xie Lijiao's grandmother? Where to start? No, no, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. It's too difficult."
Sun Xianbing had a different idea: "It's not impossible. We can ask who else was there who sent Forensic Doctor Gu's grandmother to the hospital at the time. If there are any elders who are still alive, they might remember it. If we're lucky, there might be an obstetrician or nurse from the town hospital 50 years ago who is still alive. But this kind of investigation requires a bit of luck and is very time-consuming."
The first method was obviously not efficient, so Gu Shaoqi asked, "What about the second method?"
Xia Mufan looked at Gu Shaoqi intently: "The second method starts with you."
Gu Shaoqi's mind was now filled with the painful fact that the murderer was his blood relative, and his brain was not working as fast as usual: "Where do I start? How do I check?"
Xia Mufan let out a long sigh and tried to make his voice softer: "Forensic Doctor Gu, I'm going to ask you some questions next. It may make you feel a little uncomfortable, so you have to hold on."
In mid-May, the weather is getting hotter.
The ceiling fan was on in the serious crime squad's office. The fan was turning slowly, bringing a slight breeze.
Hearing Xia Mufan's words, Gu Shaoqi felt beads of sweat condense on his back and slowly slide down his shoulder blades. His heart skipped a beat, he clenched his hands, took a deep breath, and tried to straighten his back: "You say."
Xia Mufan's attitude was too serious, which made the other members of the serious crime team a little nervous.
Gong Weiguo quickly dragged a chair over, held down Forensic Doctor Gu's shoulders, and helped him sit on the chair: "Forensic Doctor Gu, don't stand. Sit down and talk more comfortably."
Feng Xiaoyu poured a cup of cold tea and handed it to Gu Shaoqi, smiling sweetly: "Gu, forensic doctor, drink some tea to cool down, don't be anxious, don't be anxious."
Sun Xianbing saw that there was really nothing he could do, so he simply walked over and turned up the ceiling fan, and the blades began to whir.
Yu Jing first said something good on behalf of Xia Mufan: "Xiao Xia is quite straightforward, don't mind it, forensic doctor Gu. We all want to catch the murderer, and our goal is the same."
Everyone's attitude of flattery was so obvious that Gu Shaoqi didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a moment.
It was as if Xia Mufan was a tiger hiding in a cave, and Gu Shaoqi was the little white rabbit squatting in front of the cave and shivering.
Is Xia Mufan really that scary?
Gong Weiguo turned to Xia Mufan and said, "Team Leader Xia, take it easy. Forensic Doctor Gu is one of us, not a criminal."
When Gong Weiguo thought of the scene in the interrogation room where Xia Mufan made Lu Chengji turn pale and cry bitterly, he was really afraid that she would make forensic doctor Gu cry. Don’t be fooled by the fact that Xia Mufan usually appears lazy and doesn’t care about anything, but once she gets into work mode, her vigorous energy, sharp words and compelling momentum are like a tiger descending from the mountain, which scares the criminals.
If Xia Mufan "interrogates" forensic doctor Gu with the attitude of treating a criminal, I wonder if forensic doctor Gu can bear it.
Xia Mufan laughed in silence: "What are you doing? I won't bully Forensic Doctor Gu."
Feng Xiaoyu smiled and whispered, "I'm not bullying you. I'm just afraid that you'll get serious and accidentally interrogate Forensic Doctor Gu as a suspect..."
Gu Shaoqi interrupted everyone and said, "It's okay, Xiaoxia, just ask me, I will tell you everything I know." Seeing the truth right in front of them, how could they retreat? As long as it is for solving the case, Gu Shaoqi is not afraid of anything.
Xia Mufan nodded and walked in front of Gu Shaoqi. Perhaps she felt it was inappropriate to be condescending, so she dragged a chair over and sat opposite Gu Shaoqi: "Forensic Doctor Gu, then I will start asking questions."
Gu Shaoqi: "Well, ask."
Xia Mufan's first question made Gu Shaoqi's feet go cold and his throat tighten: "Forensic Doctor Gu, have you ever thought that this disaster was caused by you?"
Gu Shaoqi didn't say anything. He raised his eyes and looked at Xia Mufan steadily, his dark eyes were like a deep pool.
Xia Mushige said, "The case happened in October 1990. You had finished your undergraduate studies and entered graduate school. Before you went to Kyoto to attend university, everything was fine at home. No one noticed anything unusual about your mother's background, and no one asked about her parents and siblings. This means that your mother's biological parents did not find out that the child was taken away by mistake, so they did not come to Daxi Town, Hui City to look for her."
"Is there a possibility that the murderer is from Kyoto and accidentally discovered that he looked similar to you, so he decided to track down your family. In order to eliminate future troubles, he decided to kill you and disguised the scene as a burglary. If you hadn't persisted in tracking the murderer for several years, I'm afraid this case would have become an unsolved case and turned into a file sleeping in the archives."
Gu Shaoqi's eyes became more gloomy, and his voice trembled a little: "It's possible."
Although Gu Shaoqi was reluctant to admit that the case was caused by him, but now Xia Mufan's analysis was reasonable, he had to admit that judging from the time of the incident, this possibility was very high.
Gong Weiguo comforted him: "Doctor Gu, don't blame yourself. This is all because the murderer is too cruel! There are so many people with similar faces in this world. You can't have committed a heinous crime just because you look like him, right?"
Feng Xiaoyu quickly chimed in: "Yes, if the murderer was a kind person, and knew that there were relatives in this world, he would definitely be happy to recognize them. It would be great if there were more relatives around and they could take care of each other. He killed someone, which is a heinous crime. It's not your fault."
Gu Shaoqi glanced at Gong Weiguo and Feng Xiaoyu, and said with a wry smile: "Don't worry, I know."
Xia Mufan asked: "Think carefully, did you meet a classmate or friend who was your age and looked similar to you during college? You had a good relationship with him, and he was able to get your keys and inquire about your family situation. Maybe he even came to your house and met your parents?"
Gu Shaoqi tried hard to search for this person in his mind, and said as he recalled: "The university campus is relatively simple. I have a good relationship with my five roommates. We all live in the same dormitory, so we can definitely get the key. We are also familiar with each other's family situations. When I was a sophomore, my parents came to Kyoto for a trip and invited my roommates to dinner. They all recognized my parents. However, my roommates came from all over the world, and none of them looked like me."
Is there anyone who looks like Gu Shaoqi?
In this way, the clue was broken again.
Xia Mufan's eyes met Gu Shaoqi's. Looking at his cold white skin that looked like fine porcelain, a thought suddenly popped up in his mind: Men rarely have skin like this, but women...
A sudden inspiration came to him. Xia Mufan leaned forward, his eyes gradually brightening. "If there are no boys, what about girls? Do you have any close friends who look like you?"
Gu Shaoqi showed a look of pain on his face and pursed his lips.
Xia Mufan's eyes became sharp: "There must be, right?"
Gu Shaoqi said hoarsely, "I made a girlfriend in my junior year. Her name is Fei Xuelan. She was in the same school and major as me, but she was one year younger than me. She had fair skin, was tall, had a pair of phoenix eyes, and was very elegant. When I saw her for the first time, I felt a sense of familiarity. My roommate once said that she and I looked like a couple."
Gong Weiguo couldn't hold it in any longer and whispered in Sun Xianbing's ear: "Forensic Doctor Gu had a girlfriend, why didn't I tell him before? He kept it a secret~~"
Sun Xianbing looked at Gu Shaoqi sympathetically and said, "Stop talking. I think Forensic Doctor Gu is about to cry."
I thought it was love at first sight, but who knew it was blood relationship.
I originally thought they looked like a couple, but who knew they were related by blood.
The answer is obvious. Gu Shaoqi must be in great pain, right?
With every word Gu Shaoqi spoke, he felt his heart being torn apart.
However, he endured the pain of dripping blood and continued: "In the summer of 1990, I brought Fisher home. My parents liked her very much, and she also had a happy conversation with my mother. She asked a lot of questions about my parents. My mother treated her as her future daughter-in-law and told her everything about herself without hiding anything."
"Fisherman and I study together and eat together, so she has a chance to get my key."
"After my parents were killed, my heart was completely filled with anger and pain, and she was the one who always stayed by my side to comfort me and care about me. I wanted to switch from clinical medicine to forensic medicine, but Fisher strongly disagreed and we had a fierce argument."
"She is from Kyoto. Both her parents work in government agencies and her family is well-off. She said I have a talent for clinical medicine and that I will succeed as long as I persevere. She also said that my parents have passed away and she is my only relative. In the future, we will work together, start a family, and stay away from everything in Hui City, so we will no longer suffer."
Gu Shaoqi's face became paler and paler, and his voice became hoarseer and hoarseer. Xia Mufan felt a little sorry for him and said, "Forensic Doctor Gu..."
Gu Shaoqi raised his hand: "I'm fine."
Xia Mufan had no choice but to say, "Then take it easy. If you feel uncomfortable, stop for a while."
Gu Shaoqi closed his eyes and continued speaking.
"I admit that I was almost persuaded by her. How tempting it is to get away from the pain and start a happy life again."
"But, I woke up countless times in the middle of the night. I couldn't forget the cold bodies of my parents, and I couldn't forget the hard work of everyone in the serious crime team. So many people were busy with the death of two strangers. They wanted to find the murderer and redress the injustice for the dead. And I, as my parents' only son, selfishly wanted to forget all this and be a doctor in Kyoto with peace of mind?"
“I can’t do it!”
Gong Weiguo and Sun Xianbing said at the same time: "Forensic Doctor Gu, you are right!"
