Mu Ning shook his head.
"I admit I was shocked when I heard this, but I don't blame you at all for not telling me."
"From your standpoint, you don't want me to get hurt. There's nothing wrong with that. On the contrary, I want to thank you, Uncle Gu, for protecting me for so many years."
Gu Zhiyin felt that these were words of comfort to him and wanted to apologize, "No, Ning Ning, I'm sorry..."
Mu Ning glared at him, "Can you stop saying sorry to me all the time? It makes my ears feel calloused!"
"I……"
"Stop me me me!"
Mu Ning didn't want to listen to him anymore and interrupted him directly, "Do you know how many times you said sorry last night?"
"How many?"
"81 sentences!"
Gu Zhiyin's hand holding the cigarette shook, and his face was full of surprise, "So many?"
The key is that she still counts.
"Otherwise?" Mu Ning rolled his eyes.
"Who do you usually apologize to? Are you spending your whole life sorry on me?"
Don't tell me, it's true.
Gu Zhiyin rubbed his forehead.
He didn't realize it before, why is he like this now?
"Uncle Gu, don't always feel sorry for me. You didn't do anything wrong, and didn't I say that even if you did something wrong, you don't have to apologize to me."
Mu Ning stepped forward and hugged him.
Gu Zhiyin's movements were stiff, and he lowered his eyes after a while, "Why."
She also asked why, but as soon as she saw this man, she forgot all what she said yesterday.
"No reason, I'm stupid."
Mu Ning blushed and didn't want to continue discussing this topic with him. Could it be that he wanted her to keep saying "I love you" on her lips?
Gu Zhiyin was silent for a long time.
"Ning Ning, if one day you find out that I have something to hide from you, will you..."
He hesitated for a moment, then opened his lips again, his voice a little hoarse, "Can you forgive me?"
Mu Ning thought for a moment, lowered his eyes and pursed his lips and said, "It depends on what happened. Even if I am angry, I may still forgive you in the end."
Yes, Ning Ning has forgiven him many times for his mistakes.
Mu Ning looked at him mysteriously, "What on earth is going on?"
Gu Zhiyin lowered his head and said, "It's nothing."
Mu Ning immediately put on a small face and said, "Gu Zhiyin!"
Gu Zhiyin pursed her thin lips.
Look at this man's mouth tightly closed, refusing to say anything.
Mu Ning couldn't pretend anymore and waved his hand, "Forget it, you don't hide the same thing from me anymore. You make me explode from time to time. I'm used to being frightened by you."
This old man was very thoughtful and she couldn't see through it. It was impossible to ask him to hide anything. She had better not trouble herself by guessing.
Gu Zhiyin curled his lips, smiled softly, and touched her head.
He could see the tolerance and tolerance Ning Ning gave him.
Then let him continue to keep the secret and protect her.
I hope Ning Ning never knows about that matter.
"Uncle Gu, do you think I will be that foreign woman's daughter?"
Gu Zhiyin glanced at her vaguely.
"I don't look like a mulatto, do I?"
Gu Zhiyin smiled and said, "Isn't that right?"
Mu Ning let out a breath.
"I used to think that mixed blood from eight countries was awesome." She muttered.
Gu Zhiyin couldn't help laughing.
Mu Ning raised his head and asked, "Then what should we do next?"
Gu Zhiyin thought for a moment and said, "Go to the police station that was responsible for this case and see if we can find any clues."
"I think so too."
The two hit it off and planned to leave the town temporarily. Before leaving, Jing Shifeng stayed with them for dinner, but Mu Ning did not refuse.
After dinner, they set off to the county seat. It was already past nine o'clock when they arrived, and Gu Zhiyin asked her to wash up and go to bed early.
The next day they arrived at the police station.
A new group of policemen have been replaced, and all the policemen who tried this case have been transferred.
Gu Zhiyin used his connections to allow them to see the case records.
In the case records, the murderer's description of the murder process is logically clear and there is no flaw to be found.
However, the murderer's handwriting was very neat, one stroke after another, and there was no trace of panic at all, and it spread across several pages.
The perpetrator, Chen Bing, was in a bad mood because he lost money in gambling. He drank with a few people. When he was drunk, he ran into the victim Jing Shiyan on the way home. He followed her home. When he opened the door, he was discovered by Jing Shiyan. The two fought in the house.
Chen Bing asked Jing Shiyan to have sex with him, but Jing Shiyan refused and killed him in anger.
"That's roughly what happened."
The police placed them in the reception room and gave them glasses of water.
"Mr. Gu, I heard from my seniors that Chen Bing was sentenced to death with a suspended death sentence. The next day, he suddenly died in prison."
"How did you die?"
"Myocardial infarction, conditions were limited at that time, and the medical examiner found this cause of death."
Gu Zhiyin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Does he have a history of heart disease?"
"there is."
Gu Zhiyin sneered with unknown meaning, "A patient with a heart disease will get himself drunk and kill people in the middle of the night?"
"It's really strange when you say that." The policeman scratched his head.
Unless, drinking was just a cover-up to make his murder motive more credible.
"Oh, by the way, before that, a woman came to see him."
Gu Zhiyin played with the water glass and said, "Woman?"
Mu Ning immediately asked: "Blonde, blue eyes, foreigner?"
"I don't know about this. I just heard about it. I don't know the specific situation."
The policeman teased, "Anyway, Chen Bing is an old bachelor, who else could fall in love with him?"
Gu Zhiyin said thoughtfully: "Can you contact the police who were responsible for this case?"
"Ah, let me think about it... Oh, by the way, my master was here at the time! Just wait, I'll call the master."
The young policeman immediately dialed the number of the criminal investigation team leader.
After the call was connected, the little policeman gave the phone to Gu Zhiyin after a brief explanation.
"Mr. Gu, I remember you. You are well."
"Team Song."
"What do you want to know about Chen Bing's case?"
Gu Zhiyin lowered his eyes indifferently, "This is my private matter."
"Okay, don't ask." Captain Song smiled, "Why did you ask my apprentice to call me?"
Gu Zhiyin said straightforwardly, "The day before Chen Bing died, a woman came to see him. Who was this woman?"
Captain Song didn't beat around the bush, "Let me think about it...it seems to be called Li Yan."
"Who is Chen Bing?"
"They say they are friends, but this woman seems to be reluctant to let go of Chen Bing. I guess she is his lover. What about Li Yan..."
Later, Captain Song said something on the phone again, and Gu Zhiyin didn't speak for a long time.
After Captain Song finished speaking, Gu Zhiyin lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before thanking him.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Zhiyin returned the phone to the little policeman.
"Mr. Gu, do you have any other instructions?"
"there is none left."
Gu Zhiyin called Shang Mu Ning, "Ning Ning, let's go."
After leaving the police station, Gu Zhiyin took out a cigarette and held it between his lips. He lit it with a lighter and held the mobile phone to his ear.
"Check for me a person named Li Yan. I'll send you the identity information."
The other side replied "OK".
Gu Zhiyin paused and said, "The identity information may be false. Go check all the women who had dealings with Chen Bing twelve years ago."
"For all the people named Li Yan who have been in contact with each other, is it possible that the identity information is fake?"
Song Heng was almost crushed by him, "Master Gu, can you narrow down the scope a little more?"
Gu Zhiyin clicked his tongue and said simply and directly, "We have a close relationship. He is about 1.6 meters tall and left-handed. If you find him, send me the photo and I will have someone identify him."
"good."
Gu Zhiyin asked: "How long is the fastest?"
"Give me some time, after all it's been twelve years."
"OK."
Gu Zhiyin hung up the phone, and Mu Ning looked at him confused, "Uncle Gu, so what's the situation now?"
Gu Zhiyin put away her phone and said, "Wait."
"wait?"
"Um."
Mu Ning had a headache seeing his deep-thinking look, so couldn't he reveal a few more words?
"No, Uncle Gu, I'll come to the police station with you. I'm confused. Can you explain it to me?"
Before getting the exact answer, Gu Zhiyin subconsciously didn't want to tell her.
He took a puff of cigarette and said slowly: "Now it can be confirmed that Chen Bing was ordered to kill people."
Mu Ning was startled, "Why?"
"All his confessions were planned in advance, and the reasons for the drunken sexual assault and murder were also made up. He died suddenly and violently. He must have taken medicine. Someone didn't want him to speak."
"Why?"
"The directionality of various signs, and intuition."
"Listening to what you said, it sounds like he is a killer of some organization."
Gu Zhiyin did not deny it, "I don't know his identity yet, but there must be someone behind him."
Mu Ning thought of something and his eyes turned red in vain.
"In that case, Chen Bing came after me. It was really me who killed my mother..."
