chasing the dark

Chapter 208 Suspicion
Jiang Yu nodded and said, "Tell me about the night of No. 12."

Qi Meier pursed her lower lips, and said, "Zhengqing was out for a social event that night, and I realized it at about 10:30. I thought about my phone in the middle of the night, and I was fast asleep. I didn't look carefully at the caller, so I picked it up." I got up. The other party said that Zhengqing fainted suddenly. I thought it was a liar, so I hung up the phone. I wanted to continue to sleep, but I was interrupted by such an interruption, but I couldn’t sleep, so I turned on the phone and looked. The caller was Zhengqing’s number, so he quickly called back. After a while, someone answered. I asked what happened, and he said that he was sent to the central hospital, and told me to go there quickly.”

"Who is calling?" Jing Hong asked.

Qi Meier said anxiously: "I was too anxious at the time, and I forgot to ask. I don't know the voice well, so I don't know who it is."

Jing Hong asked again: "Then where is Gu Zhengqing's cell phone? Where is it?"

Qi Meier shook her head again and again: "I'm only concerned with Zhengqing's business, I don't know where the phone has gone. You can ask my second brother...Gu Zhenghua."

Jing Hong raised her hand: "What did you do after the phone call?"

"I hurriedly got up and got dressed, and called Cannes again. His cell phone kept turning off, so I had to go to the hospital by myself. After arriving there, Zheng Qing was still in the rescue. Xiao Zhang...it was Zheng Qing's assistant who was there. I was so scared that I couldn't even stand still. He helped me to sit on the chair at the door of the emergency room, and comforted me that Zhengqing would be fine. But... he still didn't make it through in the end, and didn't even say a word Get off and go."

Qi Meier said, sobbing.

Jing Hong and Jiang Yu persuaded her a few words, and when she calmed down a little, Jiang Yu asked, "Why didn't you inform Gu Zhenghua immediately?"

Qi Meier choked and said, "I was so scared that I forgot everything, it was Xiao Zhang who reminded me, and I remembered to call my second child."

"You said that when you arrived at the hospital, Gu Zhengqing's assistant was already there. Who notified him?" Jing Hong asked.

Qi Meier said: "I don't know, maybe he has been with Zhengqing all night."

"Then why didn't he call you, but a stranger?" Jing Hong asked again.

"I said, I don't know." Qi Meier's voice raised a little.

"Then let's change the question." Jing Hong said, "Was Gu Zhengqing going to the club that night for business or private gathering?"

If it is a business, there will definitely be other subordinates, such as his assistant.

So if the boss faints and needs to notify his family, shouldn't it be the assistant's job?

If it was a private party, Gu Zhengqing didn't bring his assistant with him.Then who called him to the hospital?And he arrived earlier than Qi Meier.

"He only said that he had a social event at night, and he didn't go home for dinner. He didn't say who he was with!" Qi Meier sniffled, "I seldom ask him about his affairs outside, man, especially in a career like his. Successful men don’t need and don’t like others asking questions.”

Jing Hong changed the question again: "When you arrived at the hospital, was there anyone else besides Xiao Zhang?"

"Yes, there are several people at the door of the emergency room, but I only know Xiao Zhang."

Finally, he gave an affirmative answer, but it still didn't make much sense.

The next person to be questioned was Gu Wantong, Gu Zhengqing's daughter.

Compared to the first time she went to the city bureau, her dress was much more low-key.Black knitted dress, black trousers.False eyelashes are still there, but no eyeshadow, and just a thin layer of lip balm on the lips.But because of crying, the eyes are still a little swollen.

"I don't believe my little mother will poison my father." This was the first sentence she said after sitting down.

"Why?" Jing Hong asked.

"Intuition." Gu Wantong replied very simply, "Yes, I admit that she is much younger than my father. In the eyes of others, this kind of old couple and young wife are mixed with interests. But they have been married for five years. If Mom wants to hurt my dad, why wait so many years?"

Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you say that day, who benefits the most and who is most suspected?"

"Yes, I based it on the plot of a general detective novel." Gu Wantong admitted frankly, "But it is a novel, and the situation in real life is different. If it is not a novel, my second uncle is still suspicious."

"Oh? Let's talk about it, what is the law of suspicion?" Jing Hong was very interested.

"Although my second uncle is not the heir to the inheritance, he is my father's only brother. I am still in school, and it is impossible for me to take over the family business. Besides, I don't have that ability. Then, the best person who can manage the group is me Second Uncle, what is money? Are you afraid that you won’t be able to make money if you have power?”

Gu Wantong suddenly changed the subject: "Of course, my second uncle is not that kind of person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to call the police. Let's talk about my little mother. I have thought about it for the past two days. My father is very kind to my little mother. Not only provided her with an excellent life, but also respected her. And my dad never controlled her in terms of money. She could do whatever she wanted and buy whatever she wanted. The money was in my dad’s hands and It doesn't make any difference in her hands. Why take such a big risk to kill someone? Unless..."

Jing Hong asked: "Unless what?"

"Unless she wants to change her life, there is no reason to kill her current husband." Gu Wantong immediately denied herself after speaking, "However, this is impossible. Based on what I know about my father, if there is someone outside my mother, he will definitely They won't stop them. Just like the one before, they lived together for three years and finally felt inappropriate, so they just got together and broke up. Speaking of which, it's impossible for my little mother to have someone outside."

"Why is it impossible?" Jiang Yu asked.

"She used to be a star after all, and it's inevitable that people will recognize her when she goes out. So basically, if you don't leave the door, you don't have a chance to meet any man." Gu Wantong waved her hands.

Jing Hong disagreed and said, "Going out less often doesn't mean you don't get in touch with the outside world at all. For example, the necessary entertainment between rich wives, going to beauty parlors, gyms, etc."

"Hey! What you said is not completely unreasonable." Gu Wantong said, "However, my little mother hates those entertainments the most. My dad doesn't need her to have relationships with those wives, so she won't do this kind of entertainment. Participate. Go to the beauty salon, we have a gym at home, and she doesn't need a personal trainer, and she doesn't need to go to an outside gym at all."

"What you want to express is that Qi Meier won't have extramarital affairs, right?" Jing Hong asked.

"These are just my thoughts. I don't think she has a chance to meet men outside. But, after all, I haven't been at home very much these past few years. If you ask me to guarantee it, I won't do it." Gu Wantong paused a little, " I think you should focus on the group's competitors. You see, my dad has worked hard in the business for so many years, and it's impossible not to offend others. Maybe some of the rivals he defeated hold a grudge, Say it, right?"
