Chapter 150
Chang Ting decided to let Chen He attend the inquiry as a professional consultant after careful consideration.
Chen He is not only a party to the case, but has also been deeply involved in the investigation for a long time. He once provided important clues and was actually one of the investigators.
Chen He also had exceptionally strong observation skills. If she were to observe directly, she might be able to discover things that others couldn't.
On the screen, Zhu Zangmo was looking at the camera, his eyes sunk in the darkness, like two bottomless caves.
Chen He looked at him across the screen.
Zhu Zangmo finally looked away and looked at the two policemen opposite him.
Unexpectedness was visible on his face, but he restrained himself with a cultivated frame and said, "Please start quickly. I'm old and can't stay up late."
Gao Ying, clutching a steaming teacup, asked the phone on the stand, "Shall we get started?"
The avatar on the left side of the screen flashed a small speaker, and a solemn female voice came out: "Okay, I'll go first."
It was Zhou Zheng who was speaking.
Zhou Zhengzheng asked, "Zhu Zangmo, what is your relationship with Xing Yao?"
Zhu Zangmo replied, "When I was running the training base, it was an employment relationship. After that, he came to work at the art dealership, and we became partners."
Zhou Zhengzheng cut in directly: "Isn't it a father-son relationship?"
Zhu Zangmo seemed surprised and looked at his phone sideways: "Of course not!"
"But, according to your wife Fu Weiru, you personally admitted that Xing Yao was your child born before marriage."
"Wei Ru?" Zhu Zangmo's face showed shock, but he immediately slapped his knees and laughed, "No wonder. Women are so petty!"
"Please answer carefully." Zhou Zhengzheng's tone was like a flat blade, cutting through his turbulent expression.
Zhu Zangmo calmed down for a moment and said, "This is actually a misunderstanding. I have explained to Wei Ru many times that Xing Yao is not my illegitimate child, but she just doesn't believe it.
"She argued with me and made a scene with me. She said I lied to her about being a DINK and that I had a son with someone else."
He smiled bitterly and shook his head. "I was annoyed by her, so I just admitted it casually. And she actually believed it!"
In the hotel room, Chen He stroked the teacup in her hand and stared at the tablet. Zhu Zangmo's expression was rich, sometimes full of emotion and sometimes helpless, and her brows were furrowed in confusion.
Zhou Zhengzheng's voice also had a hint of doubt. "Zhu Zangmo, you're saying you're not father and son. Then was your hiring of Xing Yao as the principal's assistant completely accidental?"
"It's not a coincidence..." Zhu Zangmo raised his hand to smooth his sparse hair, sighing, "Alas, I didn't want to mention this."
Zhou Zhengzheng: "You must answer truthfully and don't hide anything."
"Well, there's no need to hide it."
Zhu Zangmo shifted his body in the chair, leaning back more comfortably, "I took Xing Yao in because he was the son of my old classmate, Xing Yuping.
"Xing Yuping... her life has been rough.
“When she was in college, she got pregnant somehow and it caused a big uproar at school.
"There were even rumors that she was pregnant with my child."
Zhu Zangmo smiled helplessly, "Actually, she made up her own rumor."
Zhou Zhengzheng's voice was icy: "Tell me, why did she make up rumors about herself?"
Zhu Zangmo seemed to find it difficult to speak: "Because she once expressed her affection for me... But I had no interest in her and rejected her."
Speaking of this, there was a hint of pride, a hint of disgust, and a hint of arrogance on Zhu Zangmo's lips.
"She must have been holding a grudge against me, or perhaps she was obsessed with it, so she claimed the baby in her belly was mine.
"That's totally untrue! She has a purely unrequited love for me. We've never even dated, never even held hands, so how could there be a child?"
"But people's words are terrible, and they spread more and more, causing great damage to my reputation.
“The school leaders knew that I was wrongly accused, so they fired her.
“After that, she disappeared from the sight of our teachers and students.
"I never imagined that ten years ago, Xing Yao suddenly came to my house and took out an old diary, saying it was the diary of his mother Xing Yuping.
"In the diary, my name is written. That feeling of deep love and intense hatred...Alas, woman!
"Xing Yao asked me if I was his biological father.
"I explained to him clearly at the time that I was not his father. That diary only recorded Xing Yuping's one-sided love, all her fantasies.
"I don't know who Xing Yao's biological father is. After all, Xing Yuping had more than one boyfriend back then..."
Zhou Zhengzheng interrupted him in a cold tone: "Zhu Zangmo, let me remind you that this is a formal inquiry. We will verify all the information, and you are responsible for every word you say.
"If you use this to slander others, you will also bear legal responsibility."
Zhu Zangmo rolled his eyes and said, “I heard it from others, so I’m not sure.
"Anyway... Xing Yao was naturally disappointed when he found out I wasn't his biological father. It's truly pitiful for a child to grow up without a father.
"I heard him say he didn't even have a household registration, so no one wanted him no matter where he looked for a job. So, out of consideration for our old classmate, I gave him a job.
“That’s all.
"I don't have any children of my own, so I treated him as my own and took great care of him.
"However, I later discovered that Xing Yao was fine in other aspects, except that he liked to date the girls in our base."
Zhou Zhengzheng asked: "Which girl are you dating? Tell me clearly."
Zhu Zangmo evaded the question, "It seems to be... Qiu Yue. I specifically told him about this matter, asking him not to date students, but he wouldn't listen. I didn't fire him because of Xing Yuping's face."
Zhou Zhengzheng: "Did Qiu Yue go to the small building on the night she disappeared?"
Zhu Zangmo pretended to recall the past: "That's possible. After all, they were dating."
Zhou Zhengzheng: "After Qiu Yue disappeared, why didn't you report this to the police?"
Zhu Zangmo's eyes widened as a matter of course: "I didn't see Qiu Yue go there with my own eyes, how can I say such nonsense?"
Zhou Zhengzheng was silent for a moment.
Everyone knows that with the passage of time, these details cannot be verified, and as long as someone is determined to deny them, it will be difficult to get any results.
Zhou Zhengzheng then changed the subject and asked, "What happened next?"
"Later, the base was closed due to a fire, and we couldn't take care of him anymore. He left on his own and found another job.
"Later, I ran into him by chance at Xingchang Art Store and learned that he had entered the industry and was doing quite well. So we collaborated a few times."
Zhu Zangmo sighed deeply with emotion, "A few days ago, I heard from the people at the company that something happened to him... Amitabha, there are always unexpected events!"
He began to rub his Buddhist beads.
Zhou Zhengzheng's voice rang out: "We are going to do a kinship test."
Zhu Zangmo said calmly: "Do it, do it now!"
Zhou Zhengzheng was not polite: "Take a sample!"
Zheng Cai, who was sitting in front of the long desk, responded and took out a set of disposable gloves and cotton swabs borrowed from the monk.
He put on gloves, walked up to Zhu Zangmo, collected an oral swab, put it in a sealed plastic bag, and returned to keep it.
Zhu Zangmo cooperated very well throughout the whole process.
Chen He watched through the tablet.
Suddenly I remembered the few words Xing Yuping said: "lie" and "no".
It also means negation.
Although the identification results could not be obtained for the time being, Chen He's intuition had already given the answer - Xing Yao should not be Zhu Zangmo's son.
During the day, Fu Weiru seemed reluctant, but in fact she was very proactive in "explaining" the father-son relationship between Zhu Zangmo and Xing Yao.
Zhu Zangmo then denied it.
Why are these two couples who used to be in perfect harmony now singing a different tune?
What is this couple up to?
Chen He felt something was wrong.
This is a trap.
