Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 462: Following the vine
"Xiao Hong, now it's clear that this is a case of taking the blame. We must find the real criminal. Now listen to my instructions."

Xia Yuhong nodded and said, with Xiaofeng taking the lead, this matter will definitely be accomplished.

"You, go to your childhood friend's house right now and tell them the truth. See if they are willing to sue again. Ask them to keep it confidential and not leak it."

Xia Yuhong nodded, and Zhu Xuefeng said to Lin Na, "Come with me to the school, and we'll go find Teacher Zhu. I want to get Guo Junjie's photo and send it over for you to identify."

"Ah? Guo Junjie, could it be him? Hasn't he harassed Xiaoyun for a while? How can you be sure?" Xia Yuhong was a little surprised.

Zhu Xuefeng nodded confidently, "I think it's most likely him. If he wants to take the blame, he has to have connections with the public security, procuratorate and courts. Most people don't have the means to do that. The police in Beijing are not there to do nothing. If they want to investigate, they will definitely find the real murderer, unless they are not allowed to. His family is in the system, so they have the conditions to do so."

"There's not enough evidence to just suspect this one person." Lin Na also raised a question.

"We have to find the evidence ourselves. I thought about it carefully and think he is too suspicious. And the Jim car. Xiaohong, have you forgotten that he drove a Jim before and took four people to intercept Gao Bo, and was beaten by Gao Bo. He also used to harass Song Tangyun. This time, the incident happened after a tug-of-war and a dispute. It can only be said that your childhood friend must know and hate this person. So many coincidences make it very clear. You know, too many coincidences can't be coincidences."

"Xiao Feng is right. How can there be so many coincidences? If this is true, we will sue them one level at a time."

Lin Na agreed with Zhu Xuefeng's judgment and waved her little fist fiercely, as if she wanted to smash something.

"I have to go to the police station and ask Xie Minghui and others to help check the license plate number of the car involved in the accident. Whose car is it? The court didn't mention who the car was during the entire process, nor did it mention the license plate number. I was very surprised at the time. It seems that the problem lies here! It's the car of their system, the car of the head of the Political and Legal Committee team!"

When they heard Zhu Xuefeng mention the title of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission team leader, they were stunned. This background was a bit too big. They had never heard Zhu Xuefeng mention it before.

"Is this what their family does? If that's the case, some things really can't alarm the police, otherwise, there will definitely be a lot of difficulties." Lin Na reminded in a low voice.

"Sister Na is right. We won't rely on the police this time. We'll do it ourselves. If he's guilty, we can't let him go. We must catch him and avenge Xiaoyun and the others. It would be best if we execute him."

Xia Yuhong was already gritting his teeth, wishing he could find someone to send him in right now.

"Let's take action and bring the real murderer to justice!"

According to the uncle and aunt, this car accident was not a car accident at all, but a deliberate murder! There is only one possibility for the accident to happen just after the fight, and that is to vent anger.

I didn't expect this guy named Guo to be so cruel. He was let out in a daze after the last Spring Festival. This time he must be sent to prison. According to Xia Yuhong's suggestion, he should be executed.

"Okay, I'll go right away!" Xia Yuhong left in a hurry, and the two of them hurried back to school. If the department didn't have the photo, Professor Lin would have to go to the school to look for it. Guo Junjie had just graduated, and Zhu Xuefeng didn't know where the relevant files were.

Fortunately, although the files of the graduating students of the Department of Physics have been transferred, their student ID cards and score cards are still there. After listening to Zhu Xuefeng's statement, Teacher Zhu felt very heavy-hearted, but he still provided them and gave a reminder.

"After confirmation, send it back immediately. This is also a file and cannot be lost. Otherwise, someone might come to check it."

When Teacher Zhu saw the two of them taking their student ID cards and about to leave, he hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help but remind them. Zhu Xuefeng understood what Teacher Zhu was worried about.

"Don't worry, we'll deliver it back in an hour or two, and it's guaranteed to be intact."

The old man took one look at the photo and confirmed it.

"That's right. The person who got out of the driver's seat at that time was this young man. Where did you find him? It's only been a short while, and you've confirmed it?!"

"Thank you for your testimony, old man. Think about it again. Besides you, who else happened to be outside and saw this?"

The old man knew that this was an attempt to find witnesses, but after thinking for a long time he shook his head regretfully.

"I really didn't notice it, but when I came out the second time, many people saw the car running away. They also testified in court today. Can we find them?"

Zhu Xuefeng shook his head uncertainly, "They only saw the person being hit and remembered what kind of car it was. I guess no one knows who was driving the car."

The old man was also very hesitant. He wanted to speak several times, but was stopped by his wife's eyes. Zhu Xuefeng watched silently and glanced at Xia Yuhong, who was eager to try and wanted to encourage the old man.

"Thank you, you have helped a lot, otherwise, the real criminal would have escaped. I won't bother you anymore, Xiaohong, leave the fruit behind and let's go."

Under Xia Yuhong's reluctant gaze, the three of them left the old man's house, and Xia Yuhong murmured in dissatisfaction.

"I think the old man is already interested. If we say something nice, maybe he will agree to be a witness."

Lin Na advised, "But didn't you see that old lady? She almost ate me up. If I really agree, I'm sure she'll start doing it as soon as we leave. Of course, it's also possible that she'll just take me away and hide me. We should take our time with this kind of thing. We should be understanding of other people's concerns."

"Nana is right. Now we have confirmed that it was Guo Junjie. Now we need to find evidence. You two help me return the photos first. I will go to the police station, and then we will all go to the compound and find a solution together."

...

The three of them came to the compound after dinner. The younger brother and sister had already started school, one was in the third year of high school and the other was just in the first year. Zhu Xuefeng didn't want them to participate, so he said he had something to do and ran away.

"Brother Feng, it's confirmed. It's Team Leader Guo's car. Is there anything else you want us to do?"

Without letting the three people wait long, Zhou Xiaoyu and Xie Minghui came back excitedly. As soon as they entered the gate, Zhou Xiaoyu quickly reported the information they had found out.

"Well, that's great. Where's Xiaolan? When will she be back?"

"I called the security department of the steel mill. I think they should be back soon."

Lin Yilan didn't have a car, so it would take her about an hour to walk there. Unlike these two, the police station was within their jurisdiction and they would arrive in a short while.

"It's okay, let's start. I'll briefly explain the situation and we can all help think of a solution."

"Gao Bo said he would be here soon. I guess he should be here by now. Why don't we wait a little longer?" Xia Yuhong reminded.

This silly boy Gao Bo now stays by Yang Ying's bed whenever he has time, and has earned his father's praise for being a man of integrity and righteousness. Today he didn't even go to the court trial, but just stayed by the bedside. It's hard to say whether he will be able to come later.

"It doesn't matter, let's talk about it when we get here. Let me tell you about it first..."

Just as he opened his mouth, he heard a noise coming from the front yard. Zhu Xuefeng stood up and looked out the window. Oh my god, Gao Bo came running in in a hurry, with a shiny head, needless to say, all sweat. Gao Bo opened the door of the study and shouted to Zhu Xuefeng, "Brother Feng, Xiaoying is awake, awake, I saw her hand moving."

The originally happy news made Gao Bo suddenly depressed in the second half of his sentence, Zhu Xuefeng said unhappily.

"Are you awake or did you move your hands? Please tell me clearly."

Gao Bo grinned, raised his arm to wipe the sweat off his face, and said happily.

"It moved its hands, it moved its hands. Brother Feng, didn't you say that moving its hands means it has consciousness and is about to wake up?"

Zhu Xuefeng was left speechless by Gao Bo's words, so he had to wave his hand to interrupt Gao Bo.

"That's good news. He will probably wake up soon. Go wash up first and come back."

"Xiaohong, go to Uncle Zhou's house this afternoon and see what they think."

"Uncle Zhou said that we must sue, we must vent our anger and seek justice for Xiaoyun. He is not afraid of retaliation."

"Well, that's fine. They are the only ones who can sue for this. Let's not let the news leak out first."

"I've told you that Uncle Zhou and his family all understand. Unfortunately, I looked at Xiaoyun and didn't see her move her fingers. I'll have to ask Gao Bo when he comes back if he has any good ideas. I heard that he was watching over Xiaoying all day and muttering to himself. I don't know what spell he was chanting."

"Boss, Miss Lan is back!"

Daya at the door poked her head out to report, and then got a basin of water for Gao Bo to wash.

"Brother, what's the hurry? I spent five cents to take the bus back." Lin Yilan walked into the study room jokingly.

"Have you eaten yet?" "No, it's okay, finish your work first and then eat."

Lin Yilan probably didn’t eat. “Daya, go to the kitchen and bring all the food over. Xiao Xie and Xiao Yu probably didn’t eat either.”

Zhou Xiaoyu also shouted, "Brother is biased. He knew we hadn't eaten yet, but he insisted on waiting for Xiaolan to come back before serving the food."

Zhu Xuefeng didn't blush, and smiled and said, "You two came in and reported the news. I didn't think about it for a while. There are several dishes. I know you must not have eaten dinner and will come back. Daya specially prepared them. She didn't eat either, and she was waiting to accompany you. This is not okay."

Daya really prepared a lot. She prepared two hot dishes, two cold dishes, a large bowl of rice porridge, and a basket of steamed corn bread. While eating, the few of them listened to Zhu Xuefeng introduce today's discoveries.

"This is the situation. We need to brainstorm and think about where to start so that we can quickly collect evidence! Now, whoever thinks of something first, please speak up. Others can also add to it."

"I'll go first. Since the old man said there were two people in the car, then the other person must be the accomplice and of course the best eyewitness. Let's all think about how to find this person."

Xia Yuhong must have been thinking about this issue since he got the news, and he was the first one to jump out and express his opinion.

"Xiao Hong, since the other party is an accomplice, it may be difficult to get him to change sides. This is too difficult. Let's wait for now. Is there anything else?"

Lin Na frowned and expressed her opinion. She had also thought about this, but had no idea.

"Another thing is, since the driver was not involved in the incident, he must have been somewhere else at the time. He had already gotten off work. I think the car was taken away, and he should have gone home first. At his age, there must be someone at home..."

"This is a good idea, is there anything else?" If we can prove that the driver did not have the time to commit the crime, we can overturn the case and ask the public security organs to conduct additional investigations. This is a good idea.

"I think the driver didn't drive the car. The cars of this kind of unit have usage records. If the records can be found, even if Guo Junjie didn't register on it, the driver's return time must be there, which can also prove that the driver didn't drive the car at the time."

Lin Na expressed her thoughts and added with a frown.

"But there are two problems with investigating someone else's driving records. One is that we don't have the right and identity to do so. Another is that it is easy to alert the other party. I suggest waiting until the evidence is almost collected before collecting the evidence."

"Sister Na is right. I have an idea. The driver must have been seen by neighbors when he was going home after get off work. We can secretly visit them and it shouldn't be difficult to find a few witnesses of the time."

Lin Yilan took up the driver’s time issue, further expanded her thinking, and came up with her own solution.

"Xiaoyu and I can use our positions to continue to recruit witnesses at the crime scene to see if anyone can identify the victim. We can also investigate the driver's vehicle delivery records and verify the driver's off-duty time with his colleagues to confirm his route home after get off work, which will facilitate the investigation of witnesses on the driver's timeline."

"Brother, they have taken care of all these things, so I will keep an eye on that bastard Guo Junjie. He will definitely be celebrating after escaping the disaster. I will see who is with him, maybe I can find his accomplice.

Zhu Xuefeng also thought of this, and he very much suspected that the accomplice was Zheng Xiaojun. Xiao Hei had already received the order, but there was no one in Guo Junjie's nest at this time.

"Then you won't chant a spell with Miss Xiaoying?"

Xia Yuhong asked with a smile, and Gao Bo also fell into hesitation. According to what Brother Feng said, now that he has become conscious, he must seize the opportunity and not let the little consciousness that has finally appeared dissipate. Emotional communication must continue.

"Okay, you should stay with the patient. Just help with some ideas today. The idea you just gave is very good."

"Boss, I think this crime is not in vain. The driver's family must have benefited from it. We can investigate. Also, men of this age are usually the backbone of the family. If he falls, the family will basically collapse. So I think someone in the family must have objections to this crime. We can make a fuss about the family members."

Daya, who had been silent the whole time, was the last to speak out.

Seeing that no one else was adding to the discussion, Zhu Xuefeng began to summarize, "Just now everyone mentioned several directions, one is the location of the crime, one is the vehicle usage record, then there are several aspects of the driver, and the last one is Guo Junjie's accomplice. Let's analyze them in detail..."

The discussion was very thorough. According to Zhu Xuefeng's suggestion, everyone divided the work and came together every night to summarize and discuss the next plan.

Xie Minghui will be the one to notify Xiaoliuzi and Monkey. As for Xiaolin, we'll talk about it later. His family background is not good and his family is strict. Yan Zi is not here, so we can only use the younger brother. The younger brother is now a physical education teacher in an elementary school and has relatively free time.

Zhu Xuefeng thought of letting the two men keep an eye on Zheng Xiaojun after get off work to see what this kid was doing and whether they could find some useful information. This kid was a bit reckless and seemed to have a simple mind. If he was really involved, it might be a good breakthrough.
