"...You and Mrs. Gu have a really good relationship."
Gu Zhiyin hummed, staring at her portrait, his eyes narrowed slightly, "I've been dreaming about her lately."
The people from the Investigation Bureau said nothing.
Maybe it was because he had been talking less recently and there was no one around him to talk to, so Gu Zhiyin started talking to himself.
"Every time you close your eyes, you will see her figure. I heard that people who miss you can fall asleep because she is also missing you."
The smoke made the light and shadow blurry, and his voice was slightly hoarse.
"She must be very anxious now. Without me around, she doesn't feel safe. She might be as helpless as an ant on a hot pot. But I can't keep an eye on her all the time. She must learn to be on her own."
His tone was slow and calm, and his eyes showed helplessness and concern.
It's hard to understand that he himself is like this and still worried about his wife.
Gu Zhiyin blew out a puff of smoke, lowered his eyes and sneered, "I want to see what method she can use to take me out."
The person from the Investigation Bureau finally spoke, "Mr. Gu thinks he is innocent?"
Gu Zhiyin did not answer this question.
"It's not what you said. With so many people dead, someone must bear the consequences."
He smiled inexplicably, "The last person to be arrested may not be me."
…
Song Heng found Xie Jun’s wife’s hometown.
When they arrived, there was only one old man left at home.
Xie Jun's wife ran away with her children, probably because she knew someone was checking her.
Mu Ning thought about it calmly and said with determination, "She can't run very far. Her son hasn't had surgery yet and needs dialysis. Go check the hospital!"
Finally, they found Xie Jun's wife in a hospital in a certain county.
She was holding a kettle to get hot water in the hospital corridor. When she saw Mu Ning and Song Heng, she turned around and ran away.
Bodyguards poured out from the other end of the corridor and blocked her from both ends. She turned pale with fright and opened her mouth to scream.
The bodyguard quickly covered her mouth.
Mu Ning walked over quickly, "Are you Xie Jun's wife?"
The woman's eyes were protruding and round, and she looked at Mu Ning in horror.
"Don't get excited, we don't want to do anything, we just want to ask you something."
The woman had nowhere to escape and was still panicking.
Mu Ning's expression was calm and his voice was gentle, "Your son is still here. You probably don't want to disturb your son from resting."
These words were both a threat and a comfort.
Thinking of her son, the woman slowly calmed down.
Mu Ning winked at the bodyguard, who let her go.
"Let's talk somewhere else."
The woman glanced at the bodyguard and nodded hesitantly.
Song Heng asked the hospital to free up a separate ward.
The woman sat on the bed, Mu Ning sat on the single sofa, Song Heng stood next to Mu Ning, and two bodyguards guarded the door.
Mu Ning raised his eyelids and looked at her.
The woman is plainly dressed, has a sallow complexion, dark skin, and looks rough.
"Don't be nervous, I want to ask about your husband."
When Xie Jun was mentioned, the woman's eyes turned red, "I have divorced him, and his affairs have nothing to do with me."
"Did you know that your husband was involved in a crime?"
The woman shook her head, "I don't know. I don't have a good relationship with him. I don't know anything about him."
"Lie!" Song Heng's eyebrows were cold, and the hostility in his eyes made the woman shrink back.
Mu Ning glanced at Song Heng and raised the corners of his lips slightly. Seeing how scared the woman was, he immediately reassured her, "It's okay. As long as you tell the truth, he won't touch you."
As she said this, she paused and said in a deep voice, "I won't touch your son."
The woman understood immediately and nodded hurriedly, "As long as you don't touch my son, I will tell you everything I know."
Mu Ning said calmly, "Xie Jun is dead, you know that, right?"
The woman nodded.
Mu Ning stared at her expression and said bluntly, "He was killed unjustly."
The woman's expression froze, and her face suddenly turned pale.
"Your husband sacrificed his life to treat his child, and now he is taking the blame for someone else. Don't you feel wronged? This incident has caused a sensation across the country. People all over the country know that your husband is a murderer. The Internet has already heated up to the point where the Internet blasted your husband. If you look at your husband's family background and those high-ranking officials who died in the province, will their families let you go and let your son go?"
"I tell you, Meng Su will never let your son go. He has great power and has arrested everyone related to this matter."
"Where do you think you can escape? From now on, if your son is known as the son of a murderer, will life be easier for you two?"
The deaths were all high-ranking officials, and the women knew they would be retaliated against, so these days, they were hiding around with their children.
After listening to Mu Ning's words, he couldn't bear the pressure even more and collapsed into tears.
Mu Ning gave her advice at this time, "We can only find out the people behind it and clarify that your husband was forced to be a scapegoat and was ordered to be a scapegoat. Then the outside world's guilt against your husband will be alleviated, and the hatred of those high-ranking officials will not It will be placed on your family.”
The woman was silent for a long time and then spoke hesitantly, "I've been feeling flustered these days. You're right. Xiaoyu knows that his father has killed so many people, so he definitely can't accept it."
Seeing that she was willing to confide, Mu Ning waited for her to continue.
"My husband did kill someone. He was forced to do nothing... Xiaoyu must have a kidney transplant immediately and needs money."
The woman covered her face and cried.
Mu Ning walked up to her, sat next to her, handed her the paper, patted her back comfortingly, and said gently: "We are all innocent victims involved in this incident, and the real murderer is still at large. ."
Mu Ning claimed to be the daughter of a high-ranking official and said that her father was killed by a tower crane. The sudden bad news made their family immersed in sadness and despair.
"Not only my family, but so many innocent families have suffered heavy losses. If the real murderer is not caught, wouldn't it be that my father and so many innocent people died in vain? How can they rest in peace underground?"
There was unconcealable guilt in the woman's eyes, "I'm really sorry. Can you guarantee that we will find the real murderer and let our mother and son live?"
Seeing the woman's moved expression, Mu Ning said, "Don't worry, as long as you tell the truth, I will definitely protect you, mother and son, from the outside world disturbing you."
The woman thought for a long time and then spoke slowly, "Xie Jun said that there was a recorder and he secretly recorded the conversation about their transaction. If the other party didn't pay or threatened us, mother and son, he asked me to make the recording public. "
Mu Ning was shocked, "Where is the recording pen?"
The woman told the truth, "He left her with a coworker."
"Can you take us to get it?"
The woman agreed to take them to get it. She first went to the ward to put her son to sleep. At night, she got into the car with Mu Ning and took them to find Xie Jun's coworkers.
