Chapter 53 Story
Gu Shaoqi pursed his lips and stopped.
Gong Weiguo and Sun Xianbing were still waiting for him to continue. After a while, they urged him, "What happened next?"
Gu Shaoqi's speech speed became much faster: "Later? Later we separated. I turned to forensic medicine research, and Fisher continued to study clinical medicine. She once proposed to marry me or live with me, but I refused. Later, as soon as I graduated from graduate school, I chose to return to Hui City to work as a forensic doctor. She stayed in Kyoto to work, so she had to break up with me."
Xia Mushige: "No contact since then?"
Gu Shaoqi did not hide it: "She called several times to ask about my recent situation."
Xia Mushige: "Did you ask about the progress of the case?"
Gu Shaoqi nodded: "Yes, but I didn't say it. After all, we have discipline."
Speaking of this, Gu Shaoqi felt sweat all over his back.
The ceiling fan above my head was whirring, but it was still so hot that it made me dizzy.
Xia Mushige paused and continued to ask: "Is Fei Xuelan from Kyoto?"
Gu Shaoqi: “Yes.”
Xia Mushige: "Who are her parents? What do they do? Have you ever seen them?"
Gu Shaoqi: "Her parents are remarried, so she is not very willing to talk about her family. She and her brother took their mother's surname, and her younger brother was brought by their father and took his father's surname. Her parents work in government agencies and have a certain level of rank. Originally, we agreed to meet my parents first during the summer vacation and meet her parents during the winter vacation, but then my parents were murdered, and this matter did not proceed."
Xia Mufan looked at Gu Shaoqi with a half-smile: "You revealed everything about her family situation, but you don't even know where she lives or who her parents are?"
Gu Shaoqi's eyes were dim: "At that time, I just felt that Fei Xuelan was pitiful. The reconstituted family relationship was complicated. She didn't want to say more, and I didn't have the heart to ask more."
Xia Mufan looked at Gu Shaoqi deeply.
As the son of a factory worker, Gu Shaoqi was born and raised in a chemical factory and did not leave the factory until college. His growing environment was very simple, surrounded by uncles, aunts, and uncles he knew... Such warm and stable interpersonal relationships made Gu Shaoqi's thinking relatively simple and he was not on guard against others.
Gu Shaoqi lost miserably in this love affair.
Xia Mushige continued to ask questions: "Did Fei Xuelan mention anything about her brother?"
Gu Shaoqi: "Only mentioned once, he was a soldier."
Gong Weiguo and Sun Xianbing sat next to each other. Both were talkative and quick-witted. They used to bicker with each other frequently, but when it came to the case of Forensic Doctor Gu, they gradually developed a mutual understanding due to constant brainstorming. The two exchanged glances, raised their eyebrows, and mouthed, "Soldier!"
Maybe he is a scout or a special forces soldier. No wonder he is so skilled.
It really ruins the good reputation of the military!
Yu Jing was so angry that he was fuming.
He was also a soldier. Soldiers must obey orders in all their actions and be ready to sacrifice for the motherland and the people at any time. All of this is deeply rooted in his blood.
How can we wield the sharp blade against kind-hearted people? hateful!
Xia Mufan gradually leaned forward and stared into Gu Shaoqi's eyes: "Does his brother look a lot like you?"
Gu Shaoqi: "I don't know, and I haven't seen it."
Xia Mushige narrowed his eyes: "How long have you two been dating before you met your parents?"
Gu Shaoqi thought for a moment and said, "One and a half years."
Xia Mushige: "Who took the initiative?"
Gu Shaoqi: "She."
Xia Mufan: "How did she find you?"
Gu Shaoqi's face turned pale and he felt his stomach a little bloated. If possible, he didn't want to recall that past event at all.
Xia Mufan sneered, "She is your junior sister, so she should have known you for a long time. She took the initiative to confess her love to you when you were a junior, and tried every way to get in touch with you. With the encouragement of your classmates, you two finally got together, right?"
Gu Shaoqi lowered his eyes and looked at the ground: "Yes."
Xia Mufan asked again: "Did she take the initiative to ask to see her parents during the summer vacation?"
Gu Shaoqi: “Yeah.”
Xia Mufan said, "Fei Xuelan deliberately tried to get to know you, and took the initiative to confess her love, but she didn't tell you the truth about her family situation, and her brother didn't say that he would meet you to check it out. Then she asked to go to your house to meet your parents, and you agreed?"
Gu Shaoqi's voice was muffled: "Yes."
His family is very happy. His parents met through an introduction and his father listens to his mother's words. As long as it was a decision made by my mother, my father never said no. Influenced by such a family environment, Gu Shaoqi was more obedient to Fisher Lan when they were in love.
He and Fisher met at school. They were both medical students with heavy workloads in clinical medicine. In addition, Gu Shaoqi felt sorry for her complicated family relationships, so he rarely asked about Fisher's family background, and he never suspected that his girlfriend had ulterior motives. After dating for a year and a half, they thought it was a natural progression and agreed to meet each other's parents. Who could have known that this would be a disaster?
Xia Mufan stood up suddenly and looked at his teammates: "Let's go! Let's go meet this Fisher Lan."
A woman who loves you so much that she kills your parents is really vicious!
--
The weather in Kyoto in May is neither too cold nor too hot, and the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers.
Crabapples, peonies, pomegranates...are blooming, adding a touch of color to this quaint city.
Kyoto City First Hospital.
Noon, doctor's lounge.
There is a row of tables along the wall, with a few chairs, a locker and a sink. It is a very simple layout.
Fisher washed her hands, took off her white coat, and said without looking back, "There are still patients in the outpatient clinic this afternoon. I only have a little time at noon, so let's make it short."
Fisher has a slender figure and skin as white as snow. She graduated from university in 1991 and joined Kyoto City First Hospital. In just five years, she had become an associate chief physician. This promotion speed can be said to be extremely fast.
Xia Mufan was wearing a uniform, a beige shirt and army green trousers, looking neat and simple.
Finally seeing the culprit who killed Gu Mingkang and his wife, Xia Mufan felt surprisingly calm.
The calm before the storm.
Xia Mufan went straight to the point: "Gu Shaoqi, do you know him?"
Fisher turned around and glanced at the lounge.
Standing behind Xia Mufan were Gong Weiguo and Sun Xianbing. The three of them were wearing police uniforms and had serious expressions. As soon as they came in and showed their police officer IDs, the other doctors and nurses quickly took their lunch boxes and left without staying for a minute.
Listening to the faint discussions outside the lounge, Fisher frowned: "I know him. We are alumni."
Xia Mushige: "Just alumni?"
Fisher: "We dated for a while, but then we broke up."
Xia Mufan: "You've been to Gu Shaoqi's parents' home, right?"
Fisher: "Yes. But I didn't live in his house. I lived in the guesthouse of the main factory."
Xia Mufan: "Then you must be very familiar with the layout and furnishings of the Gu family?"
Fisher's answer was evasive: "I was there for a week, so I can only say that I have a general understanding of it."
Xia Mufan's eyes were sharp: "What kind of people do you think Gu Shaoqi's parents are?"
Fisher's breath stagnated: "They are fine."
The more she avoided it, the more Xia Mufan insisted on asking, "What's the best way?"
Fisher: "Mother Gu is warm and talkative, and she cooks delicious meals; Father Gu is very gentle and knowledgeable."
Xia Mushige: "They like you very much, don't they?"
Fisher's answer was calm: "Yes."
Xia Mufan: "They really want you to be their daughter-in-law, right?"
Fisher nodded: "Yes."
Xia Mufan: "They don't object to Gu Shaoqi staying in Kyoto, right?"
Fisher: “Yes.”
Xia Mufan: "If nothing unexpected happens, you and Gu Shaoqi will work in the same unit, start a family in Kyoto, and make progress together, which will be the envy of others, right?"
The room was getting hotter and hotter, and Fisher felt suffocated. She raised her hand to unbutton her white coat and tried to calm herself down: "Maybe."
Xia Mushige: "The plan is great, but what changed everything?"
Fei Xuelan's face turned cold, and there was still dissatisfaction in her voice: "He refused to stay in Kyoto."
Xia Mufan raised an eyebrow: "Isn't it because his parents had an accident?"
Fisher's voice suddenly rose a notch: "His parents are gone, so why is he still staying in Hui City? He is very talented and has the skillful hands of a surgeon. He shouldn't be buried in that small city."
It can be seen that Fei Xuelan has feelings for Gu Shaoqi. Her original plan should have been to sever Gu Shaoqi's ties with his parents and make him her own. But she underestimated Gu Shaoqi's feelings for his parents, and also underestimated Gu Shaoqi's persistence and determination.
Very good, it is good to have emotions.
Experience tells Xia Mufan that where there is emotion there is bondage, and where there is bondage there is weakness.
As long as we attack her weak spot, we can find a breakthrough in the case.
Xia Mufan continued to ask: "What do you think about the deaths of Gu Mingkang and Xie Lijiao?"
Fisher lowered her head and looked at the back of her feet: "I'm very sad."
Xia Mushige: "How sad is it?"
Fisher was unwilling to answer such questions: "They were still young, and it's such a pity that they died in an accident like this."
It seems that Fisher Lan does not have much affection for Gu's parents, lacks sympathy for their death, and does not even show a trace of guilt.
Xia Mufan: "Where were you on October 18, 1990, the day Gu Shaoqi's parents were murdered?"
This question made Fei Xuelan relax a little. She found a chair and sat down. "I was at school. That night, I studied in the library with Gu Shaoqi, and then we went back to our dormitories."
Xia Mufan changed the subject: "Where was your brother Fei Qingbai on October 18, 1990?"
When these words came out, Fisher's whole body was shocked.
She looked up at Xia Mufan and her voice became dry: "My brother? What does this have to do with my brother?"
Xia Mufan's voice suddenly rose: "Now it's my turn to ask you questions!"
Fisher Lan felt an unprecedented panic. The policewoman in front of her looked younger than her, with her eyes still full of childishness, but every word she said was of great significance.
She thought that Hui City was thousands of miles away from Kyoto, and that she and Gu Shaoqi were just boyfriend and girlfriend, so there was no way the police would find her.
Fisheran forced herself to calm down: "My brother? I don't know what he did that day."
Xia Mufan nodded slightly, pulled a chair and sat down.
The two sat face to face, their eyes level.
Xia Mufan's eyes were like a knife tempered with fire, flashing with a threatening cold light, which made Fei Xuelan even more nervous.
"Does your brother look a lot like Gu Shaoqi?"
Fisher's hands were originally placed flat on her legs. After hearing this, she gradually closed her hands, and the nail of her thumb pierced deeply into the first joint of her index finger.
The pain woke her up instantly.
She thought a lot at this moment.
Since the police came and asked Fei Qingbai about his whereabouts that day, it was obvious that they had some suspicions.
But why did the police suspect her and Fei Qingbai?
That doesn't make sense!
Six years have passed and all traces have been wiped out. The Hui City police focused their investigation on "burglary" and have never come to Kyoto Medical University to conduct an investigation.
Why did the police suddenly come here today to ask these fatal questions?
Fei Xuelan felt her throat a little dry, so she coughed lightly, but did not answer Xia Mufan's question immediately.
Xia Mufan said calmly, "Why, is this question difficult? You and Gu Shaoqi have been in a relationship for nearly two years, and you and your brother have been siblings for more than 20 years. You don't even know if they look alike?"
Although Xia Mufan's voice was soft, it was full of sarcasm.
Her eyes were too sharp. Fei Xuelan didn't dare to meet Xia Mufan's gaze again. She tilted her head and said, "I'm too familiar with my brother. I don't think he looks like Gu Shaoqi."
Xia Mufan raised his hand.
Sun Xianbing had a tacit understanding with her and took out two photos from his briefcase and placed them in her hand.
Xia Mufan put the photo on the table and slowly pushed it in front of Fei Xuelan. "Now, do you think they look alike?"
Fisheran lowered her eyes and stared at the two photos in front of her.
One photo shows Gu Shaoqi wearing a police uniform and standing in the parking lot of the Criminal Investigation Building; the other photo shows Fei Qingbai wearing a military uniform and standing in front of a military camp.
Same tall stature, deep eye sockets, and high nose bridge.
At first glance, I almost thought it was the same person, just wearing different clothes.
Where did the police find the photo of my brother?
Fisher's heartbeat was getting faster and faster. She felt as if an invisible net was covering her, but she had no idea when Xia Mufan had cast the net.
Fei Xuelan forced a smile: "You know what, from an outsider's perspective, they are a bit similar. No wonder I felt so close to Gu Shaoqi when I first saw him in college. It turns out that he looks like my brother."
Xia Mufan glanced at her and said, "Aren't you going to explain?"
Fisher's eyes widened. "What do I have to explain? What's there to explain? My boyfriend looks like my brother. Is this against the law?"
Xia Mufan picked up Fei Qingbai's photo and looked at his face carefully.
Just like what the turtle Xiao Mo said. There is a triangular scar on the outer corner of Fei Qingbai's eye, which is said to be caused by shrapnel on the battlefield.
This is the mark of a hero.
Unfortunately, the hero turned into a bandit and became a killing knife!
Putting down the photo, Xia Mufan said slowly in a chatty tone: "Since they look so alike, are they not related by blood?"
Fisheran forgot to breathe for a moment.
What's the meaning? What exactly does this policewoman mean by this?
Fei Xuelan glanced at Xia Mufan quickly, then quickly lowered her head: "One is surnamed Gu, born in Hui City, and the other is surnamed Fei, born in Kyoto. What is the connection? It's just a coincidence."
Xia Mufan stared at Fei Xuelan's every move with sharp eyes: "You are nervous."
Fisher denied subconsciously: "I didn't."
Xia Mufan smiled, but his eyes were cold: "Do you want to measure your heart rate and blood pressure? Anyway, this is a hospital, it's very convenient to measure."
Fisher Lan's heart was beating fast and furious because of Xia Mufan, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
She widened her eyes again: "Officer Xia, you took up my lunch break just to gossip about this? I tell you, I'm very busy!"
She pretended to stand up and said, "I have something else to do. I'll leave first."
Xia Mufan turned his wrist leisurely: "Why are you in such a hurry? I invited you here today because I want to tell you a story."
"Story?" Xia Mufan's words forced Fei Xuelan to sit down.
Xia Mufan signaled Sun Xianbing to take out the information.
Sun Xianbing opened a file bag and took out a character relationship chart that the Serious Crime Unit 7 had compiled over the past few days.
Xia Mushi pushed the character relationship chart in front of Fisheran.
When Fei Xuelan took a look, countless familiar names came into view. The two names at the top, "Fei Liyan" and "Mu Anchun", made her eyes go dark.
What are the police doing? What did they find?
Xia Mufan's voice was still calm: "Yes, I want to tell you a story. This story may be a bit long, and you need a little patience to listen to it."
"Fei Liyan was born in 1922. His father was a local gentry who had studied in Country M. He married a woman of White Russian descent and had three sons and one daughter. Fei Liyan was the eldest. He joined the revolution at the age of 18 and became an underground party member in 1943. He fell in love with his revolutionary comrade Mu Anchun and married her."
"In June 1946, the Anti-Japanese War ended and the civil war began. Fei Liyan received a notice to move and immediately led his comrades to Hunan Province. When passing through Daxi Town, Hui City, Mu Anchun, who was pregnant, was about to give birth. She had to risk being exposed and went to the only hospital in the town."
"Within three days of giving birth, Mu Anchun followed the team northwards with her baby in her arms. Due to the harsh conditions and malnutrition, the baby died before it reached a full month, and Mu Anchun also suffered from postpartum illness and could no longer have children. This incident has become an eternal pain in the hearts of Fei Liyan and Mu Anchun."
Hearing this, Fei Xuelan interrupted Xia Mufan and said, "Why are you asking about my grandpa and grandma? You are a police officer, not a tabloid reporter!"
Xia Mufan suddenly took action, grabbed Fei Xuelan's wrist and forced her to open her palm.
There was a deep pinch mark on the tip of Fisheran's middle finger. The purple mark on her snow-white skin looked somewhat scary.
Xia Mufan's eyes flickered: "Why? Are you so excited to hear a story?"
Fisher felt like she had nowhere to hide. She shook her hands vigorously and asked shrilly, "What are you doing?"
Xia Mushige sneered: "Sit down! Don't interrupt me. Otherwise... I don't mind letting the doctors and nurses standing outside the lounge door and in the corridor listen to this story."
Fisheran bit her lower lip tightly, but there was nothing she could do.
The other party was a policeman who came to her house with his police ID and asked normal questions. She had the obligation to cooperate.
Xia Mufan's dominance made Fei Xuelan feel very uncomfortable.
But, what can we do?
The story continues.
"After the founding of New China, Fei Liyan and Mu Lichun became heroes and gradually entered the political arena. Fei Liyan became a senior leader of the Kyoto Military Region, and Mu Lichun became the director of Kyoto First Hospital. The couple had successful careers and high prestige, but they could not sleep or eat well whenever they thought of their daughter who died young."
