The van drove all the way towards Huicheng, and Lin Shuyue's brows never relaxed.
Zhang Guangfen's and Zuo Musheng's values are not high, Zuo Musheng's is better, about 10%. Zhang Guangfen's is much higher, 15%. This value has not reached the level of committing a crime, but there is evil in her.
This can be seen from the fact that she clearly knew that Zuo Cheng had problems, but she still gave Hu Xinxin so many folk remedies that they didn't know where it came from. She was a wicked mother-in-law. Hu Xinxin had been her daughter-in-law for so many years because she was soft-hearted.
If it were someone with a strong personality, she and Zhang Guangfen would definitely be at loggerheads.
Lin Shuyue noticed something was wrong between Zuo Musheng and Zhang Guangfen in the morning. Especially when Luo Xuemei mentioned that Zhang Guangfen asked Zuo Cheng to have a baby outside and bring it back, Zhang Guangfen subconsciously looked at Zuo Musheng's reaction.
This was very suspicious, and Zhang Guangfen's current state made it even more suspicious. After all, in the morning, in front of the police, Zhang Guangfen cried so hard that she looked like she could have followed Zuo Cheng.
How long had it been? Less than five hours? Zhang Guangfen had gotten over the grief of losing her son so quickly? She was still smiling.
Lin Shuyue thought it was very mysterious? Teacher Li and Teacher Meng were both mothers who lost their children, but they still haven't gotten over it. How strong must Zhang Guangfen's mentality be?
Lin Shuyue put a piece of the candy in her mouth, and her face changed to a certain extent. There was a traffic light ahead, and Lin Shuyue stepped on the accelerator and passed the van.
According to the good and evil radar, the man with Zhang Guangfen has a good and evil value of up to 60%.
From this we can conclude that this man, with an 80% chance, is the man who killed Teacher Hu and Zuo Cheng.
She turned her head and met the eyes of Zhang Guangfen who was sitting in the passenger seat. Zhang Guangfen didn't recognize Lin Shuyue. After taking a glance at her, she turned her head and continued to talk to the driver in the cab, smiling again.
As soon as Lin Shuyue finished speaking, the good and evil radar issued an early warning [ Ding ~~~ The key figure 'Geng Liqun' was detected, and the limited-time task 'Death of Adoptive Parents' was started. Time limit: 3 days. Please assist the police in solving the case within the limited time. ]
The car overtook the van and Lin Shuyue slowed down. Looking at the task prompt, Lin Shuyue started to think.
The key person is Geng Liqun, and the case is called Death of Adoptive Parents. Is there something else between the two that she doesn't know?
The van occupied the left lane and attempted to turn into the tourist area of Longhu Town. Lin Shuyue saw it and turned in before them.
It is the end of the year, and although the weather has cooled down, there are still many people traveling in this weather. Longhu Town is famous for Shenlong Lake, especially in the morning, when thick mist spreads over the lake, which complements the red flowers and green trees on the shore with the rising sun.
Regardless of spring, summer, autumn or winter, this place is a photography paradise for travel enthusiasts. Not to mention that Longhu Town is a thousand-year-old town, and the houses on both sides of the street are at least a hundred years old. They are also rare Hui-style buildings in Guangdong Province. This makes it even more attractive to photographers.
Take the present for example, there is an endless stream of cars heading to the Longhu Town scenic area, and Lin Shuyue blends in among them without attracting the attention of Zhang Guangfen and the other.
Lin Shuyue parked her car in the center of Longhu Town. Just as her car stopped, Zhang Guangfen and the other arrived and parked their car on the side of the road. Lin Shuyue determined the direction they were going before them, and then walked to a hotel next to a convenience store and checked in at the front desk.
While checking in, she kept her eyes on Zhang Guangfen and Geng Liqun outside, and watched the people from the convenience store next door talking to them.
"Xiao Geng and Ah Fen are back? Have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet. Has Third Sister-in-law eaten?" Zhang Guangfen responded enthusiastically.
"Not yet. Can you come over for dinner later? My mother-in-law has stewed chicken."
"Thank you, third sister-in-law. I won't go. My brother said he bought two ribs and cooked them for me. I'll go over to eat next time." Zhang Guangfen said as she followed Geng Liqun into the alley.
Lin Shuyue received the key from the hotel owner.
Just as she was about to leave, she saw the proprietress who had just checked Lin Shuyue in couldn't wait to go to the convenience store next door. Lin Shuyue followed her and went to the convenience store to buy things.
The hotel owner saw her but didn't care. There were many people staying in the hotel, of all kinds. There were countless people like Lin Shuyue who bought some things and went to their rooms before checking in. She was just an ordinary person.
She started chatting quietly with the convenience store owner: "Zhang Guangfen and Geng Liqun have been together for so many years, and they're still together?"
The convenience store owner said, "Yes, why should they break up? Zhang Guangfen and Geng Liqun were brother and sister for how many years in the early years? When they were teenagers, they said they were in love. They were in love anyway, and Geng Liqun was just an adopted son raised in her family. Although they were both uncomfortable, they didn't have the same surname."
"After dating for two years, they reportedly had a child. But Zhang Guangfen ended up leaving him. Before anyone knew it, she married and moved to the city. Not long after, she gave birth to the child. In my opinion, the child was Geng Liqun's."
"Look at these years. Old Zhang and his wife are gone, but Zhang Guangfen keeps coming back. This single man and that woman were in love in the past few years, and Geng Liqun is still alone now. How can there be nothing wrong?"
"Who said it wasn't true? Look at what Zhang Guangfen did just now. Tsk tsk tsk, I really feel sorry for her man. Others are cuckolded, but he is wearing a green grassland."
"Hahaha, you are so talented. How come the green grassland is so accurate in its description?" The innkeeper's wife laughed so hard that she fell forward and backward.
The convenience store owner was a little proud and laughed along, "Come to think of it, this Geng Liqun is really capable. He rented a fish pond and raised ducks and chickens. He earns a lot of money just by picking up eggs every day."
"His chickens and ducks are all fed with grain, not randomly feed at all. Anyone who wants to buy eggs from him buys them. Look, in just a few years, he has even built a small Western-style building."
"Speaking of which, two years ago, someone introduced a woman to Geng Liqun. Although she was a widow with a son, she was still fertile and capable. I don't know what got into him, but he just didn't want her."
"Who else could it be? It must be the one called Zhang Guangfen." The two of them laughed intimately.
After hearing this, Lin Shuyue stopped listening and took the box of instant noodles and a bottle of drink she bought to pay the bill.
The convenience store owner enthusiastically recommended: "Girl, instant noodles with ham and braised eggs are delicious, do you want some?"
Whether in this life or the previous one, Lin Shuyue seldom ate instant noodles. The last time she ate instant noodles was when she and Hang Jiabai went to pick up Wang Guiquan and Ah Qin from the fishing village.
Lin Shuyue originally bought it just for show, but now, she really wanted to eat it, so she nodded, and the convenience store owner happily took two starch sausages and two boiled eggs from the shelf next to her.
"Girl, we also provide hot water. Do you want me to make it for you?" The convenience store owner was very enthusiastic.
Outside convenience stores these days, there are two plastic tables with stools attached, some are red and some are blue.
It's cold today, and eating hot instant noodles in the cold wind is also a kind of romance, so Lin Shuyue agreed.
The proprietress took out a kettle of hot water from under the counter, warmly prepared some for Lin Shuyue, and brought it out for her. She also gave her a small packet of pickled mustard tuber: "This is made by our local pickled tuber factory. Try it, girl. If it's good, bring a few packets back for your family to try when you go back."
Because it is a tourist area, the bosses and boss ladies here are very good at doing business. Lin Shuyue did not refuse. As soon as she sat down, the hotel boss lady brought her a plastic box and said, "Try it, girl. This is tofu pudding from our factory. It has sugar and red beans in it. It tastes delicious."
It was the first time that Lin Shuyue met someone who was so enthusiastic about promoting local specialties. She was a little flattered: "Thank you, Madam Boss, thank you, Madam Boss, how much is it? I'll give you the money, okay?"
"Why pay for this? We have this stuff among all our products. They are all in small portions, just for small bites. If it tastes good to you later, you can take some full-size ones." The hotel proprietress waved her hand indifferently and continued to chat with the convenience store proprietress while leaning on the counter.
The two were still talking about the incident between Geng Liqun and Zhang Guangfen.
Now they talked about the death of Zhang Guangfen's parents.
"What a bad fate! How could Zhang Sangen and his wife be so unlucky? They were just about to live a good life, but ended up drowning."
"They're not lucky. What can you do?"
"Speaking of which, Geng Liqun is really capable. Apart from not getting married and having children, he is a really good man. He is very responsible. My parents-in-law said a few days ago that if they had known Geng Liqun was so capable, they should have taken him home to raise him when his parents died."
"Who among the older generation in the village doesn't think so? My parents-in-law even said so. If they had brought Geng Liqun here to take care of him, Geng Liqun would have suffered less. I heard from my wife that Zhang Sangen and his wife treated Geng Liqun very badly, beating him every other day, sometimes so severely that there was not a single piece of healthy skin on his body."
"Zhang Guangfen is not a good person either. She was the one who took the lead in bullying Geng Liqun when they were young. How could Geng Liqun still date her after all this?"
"Who knows? Is he sick? Just like what they show on TV."
As the two chatted, they turned the topic to other places.
But from their few words, combined with the tasks assigned by the system, Lin Shuyue already had a guess in her mind. They were all adoptive parents, so was it possible that the death of Zhang's parents was not an accident, but a man-made one?
The noodles were ready. Lin Shuyue opened the tin foil lid and a strong aroma mixed with spicy and sour flavors hit her face. Her last meal was in the morning and she was really a little hungry. When she smelled this aroma, she couldn't control herself.
Lin Shuyue swallowed, let the cold wind blow on her, took out her cell phone, opened Penguin and sent a message to Hang Jiabai.
When Lin Shuyue picked up the instant noodles with a fork to eat, Hang Jiabai's text message came.
He was on his way to Longhu Town. Lin Shuyue took a bite of instant noodles, put the fork back, picked up the phone and typed away.
Hang Jiabai's reply also came quickly. They were not idle that afternoon. They checked the social relationship between Zuo Cheng and Hu Xinxin, and finally targeted Zuo Cheng's uncle Geng Liqun.
Especially after discovering that Zhang Guangfen had followed Geng Liqun away.
When Lin Shuyue saw the message from Hang Jiabai, she looked towards the alley where Geng Liqun and Zhang Guangfen left, then lowered her head and concentrated on eating instant noodles.
It's true, if you don't eat this instant noodles for a while, the taste will definitely double when you eat it again.
Lin Shuyue ate very contentedly. After finishing her meal, she drank two sips of mineral water that had become ice-cold due to the cold weather, and then ate the tofu pudding given by the hotel proprietress. It was sweet and salty, which made her even more satisfied.
After eating and thanking the proprietress, she took out a camera from her backpack, asked the convenience store owner where the scenery was good, and then left.
Lin Shuyue followed the path pointed out by the proprietress and not far away, she passed by a pond. The pond was surrounded by a green net. There were groups of ducks playing and resting in the mud on the roadside and in the middle of the pond.
Next to the pond is a beautifully built small Western-style building, and the backyard of the building leads directly to the pond where ducks are raised.
If nothing unexpected happens, this is Geng Liqun's home.
Lin Shuyue walked around to the front of the small western-style building. It was a yard of more than 40 square meters surrounded by an iron fence. It was bare and a bit messy. The yard faced the lake and mountains in the distance. The scenery was beautiful.
She pretended to take pictures of the lake opposite, and turned on the good and evil radar. Geng Liqun and Zhang Guangfen were in the living room.
But the distance was too far, and Lin Shuyue couldn't get close, but if she concentrated and listened, she could hear some movement inside.
She heard Zhang Guangfen's scream. Lin Shuyue quickly sent a message to Hang Jiabai.
She walked around the house and finally saw the situation in the room on the left side. Zhang Guangfen was tied up in the living room. Geng Liqun was sitting on the sofa, smoking one cigarette after another, with a knife at his side.
Zhang Guangfen couldn't laugh at this moment. Her eyes were filled with tears and her mouth was sealed with tape. She shook her head and made a whimpering sound.
Lin Shuyue leaned against the window, listening attentively to the sounds inside.
"Zhang Guangfen, you really made me suffer so much. You told me before that Zuocheng was my son, right?"
Geng Liqun's voice was not small: "Tell me now, is Zuo Cheng really my child?"
Zhang Guangfen, with her mouth sealed, was unable to answer.
Geng Liqun stood up and said, "At the beginning, you said that I was poor and couldn't give you the good life you wanted. Zuo Musheng is a city dweller with a citizenship, and his parents are workers. You want to marry him. If I don't agree, you say that you are pregnant. For the sake of our child, you want our child to be a city kid."
"I was greedy and believed your lies."
"I originally thought that after you married Zuo Musheng, our relationship would be over. From now on, you marry someone else and I marry a wife, and we will have nothing to do with each other. But your parents are really worthless. They actually don't allow me to marry a wife."
"They raised me up, provided me with food and clothing all these years, just to be your secret husband. Even if you don't want me anymore and marry someone else, I'm still yours. They won't let me find another one. Every time I get close to a woman, they'll try to sabotage me."
"As for you, you will bring Zuo Cheng back from the city to accompany me today. After I give up the idea of getting married, you will bring the child back. It goes on and on, and I am too lazy to care anymore."
"But your parents are really too much. I'm already like this, I'm not getting married, I'm staying in your Zhang family to take care of them in their old age, but they're still not satisfied. Whenever your father drinks a little, he scolds and insults me, and even cuts me with a knife."
"Your mother looked down on me at home. No matter what I did, she would tease me about my parents' death. I really couldn't stand it anymore, so that night ten years ago, I gave them some drugs and made them drink a lot of wine. When they were about to wake up, I threw them into the lake at the door and drowned them."
Geng Liqun's words stopped Zhang Guangfen's whimpering. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Geng Liqun in disbelief.
Geng Liqun looked at her like that and suddenly smiled.
"Zhang Guangfen, do you think I'm stupid? Do you think I've been played around by you for so many years?"
"I'm telling you, Zhang Guangfen, if it weren't for Zuo Cheng, you'd be nothing! Do you think you're a fairy? Can you make me crazy?"
"Zhang Guangfen, do you know how much I hate you? When I came to your house as a child, you were only five years old. As soon as we met, you pushed me down. Later, you hated me and always told bad things about me in front of your parents. Because of this, I was beaten lightly every three days and severely beaten every five days. The old wounds on my body have not healed yet when new wounds will be added."
"You were sixteen years old and wanted to fall in love. Then you found that other men were not as good-looking as me and did not listen to you as well as me, so you set your sights on me. You may not know how disgusted I was when you said you wanted to fall in love with me."
"When you got naked and climbed onto my bed, I wanted to kick you off. But it's a waste not to play with a woman who comes to my door. Zhang Guangfen, don't you love my rudeness and wildness? I tell you, it's because I don't care about you. Whether you feel pain or not has nothing to do with me. It's enough for me to feel happy or not."
"Do you think I kept you because I loved you when you were going to marry Zuo Musheng? You think too highly of yourself. I only thought about the baby in your belly."
"I didn't get married all these years because of Zuo Cheng. I worked so hard because of Zuo Cheng. When he went to college, I gave him more than 2,000 yuan a month so that he could have enough food and drink at school and live like the sons of big bosses."
"I paid for the wedding banquet when he got married. You said the Hu family asked for a lot of betrothal gifts, so I paid a large part of it. I paid for him to buy a house, and I also paid for him to get connections to work in a public institution."
"He and his wife have been unable to have children for many years. I am more worried than anyone else. I send them money every month so that they can go to the doctor."
"If he is really my son, then it doesn't matter. After all, I only have one son. The family business I have created will all belong to them when I am old and die."
"But he is not my son, Zhang Guangfen, he is not. If I hadn't donated blood that day and saw that my blood type was B, I would never have known that Zuo Cheng was not my child, right?"
Geng Liqun laughed even harder when he said this. He had always been in good health and had never had any serious illness in his life. He had rarely been to the hospital. If he had any illness, he would go to a small clinic to treat it. But he was very concerned about Zuo Cheng's health.
Zuo Cheng is a city dweller and went to primary school in the city. When he was in primary school, the school organized a physical examination and blood type check. At that time, this kind of physical examination was still a very new thing. When Zuo Cheng came back on weekends, he told them his blood type.
Geng Liqun memorized Zuo Cheng's blood type. He was type A, Geng Liqun remembered it clearly.
Last week, Geng Liqun went to deliver ducks to a restaurant in the city. On the way back, he saw a blood donation vehicle and went up to donate blood. The nurse tested his blood and found that he was type B. This was like a thunderbolt for Geng Liqun.
He pestered the nurse who was doing the blood transfusion and asked many questions, especially whether a man with type B blood and a woman with type O blood could give birth to a child with type A blood.
The nurse said that no matter how you look at it, the combination of BO and blood cannot produce a child with type A blood.
Geng Liqun was struck by lightning and could not believe this fact. He heard that there was a paternity testing agency. He went to Zuo Cheng's house and deliberately broke a cup. Zuo Cheng scratched his hand while cleaning it. After wiping the blood with a tissue, he picked up the paper that was thrown into the trash can.
He took a tissue to an institution to have a blood test and got the result this morning. The report showed that he, Geng Liqun, had no blood relationship with Zuo Cheng.
Geng Liqun felt more and more aggrieved. He had to work like a slave in the Zhang family all his life. But when Zhang Guangfen wanted to have a relationship, he had to talk to her and sleep with her like a sissy. She didn't want to play the game of love anymore, so she kicked him away.
She got pregnant with someone else's bastard child, but tricked him into raising it for more than 30 years!
In a rage, Geng Liqun bought two identical black hoodies that were not suitable for his age, as well as the same pants and shoes at a roadside clothing store. He also bought the most expensive boning knife at the hardware store next door and headed towards Zuo Cheng's house.
The couple were just getting ready to go to work. When they saw him coming, although they were surprised why he was wearing such clothes, they still put down their bags and sat on the sofa to chat with him.
While Hu Xinxin was pouring water for him, he took out a bone-chopping knife and chopped Zuo Cheng's neck. When Zuo Cheng fell to the ground, he stood up and chopped Hu Xinxin, who was turning away. After that, he put Zuo Cheng and Hu Xinxin in a posture facing the door.
Then he changed into another set of clothes, pants and shoes that were not stained with blood and left Zuo Cheng's house.
He knew that the crime he committed in Zuo Cheng's home would sooner or later be known to the police, so he did not go far. He waited in the alley opposite the community. He watched the police come and go, and watched Zhang Guangfen and Zuo Musheng leave together.
He drove away, stopped at the entrance of the market, and called Zhang Guangfen.
Zhang Guangfen came with a smile, which Geng Liqun found very ironic.
Zuo Cheng was not his Geng Liqun's son, but he is Zhang Guangfen's child, right? He came out of her belly, right? How could she not be sad in the afternoon when her son just died in the morning and come to meet with him, the adulterer?
"Zhang Guangfen, ah Zhang Guangfen, you are still as heartless as you were ten years ago. Just like when I was a kid, you threw bugs in my bowl, pushed me into the lake while I was washing clothes, and caught snakes and put them on my bed."
Geng Liqun raised his hand and looked at the time. It had been an hour since he called Zhang Guangfen. No matter how incompetent the police were, they should have come. He let Zhang Guangfen die as a ghost, which was his only kindness.
He walked towards Zhang Guangfen with a bone-cutting knife in his hand. There was a shrill sound of sirens, but Geng Liqun turned a deaf ear to them.
Geng Liqun already knew when he killed Zhang Guangfen's parents that the reason these police officers honked their sirens when arresting people was to deter the criminals.
Geng Liqun was not afraid of shock. After killing Zuo Cheng and Hu Xinxin, he never thought about living.
He raised the bone-chopping knife in his hand high, and just as he was about to drop it, a brick passed through the window on the wall and landed on his wrist.
The pain made his hands lose strength, and the knife fell down, with the back of the knife hitting Zhang Guangfen's instep as she stepped back. The pain made her scream out.
At the same time, Hang Jiabai and his men also arrived. Holding wooden guns, they kicked open the door to Geng Liqun's yard and kicked open the main door of the house.
Facing the policemen's guns, Geng Liqun didn't even look at them. He bent down, picked up the knife, and was about to swing it at Zhang Guangfen again.
Hang Jiabai rushed forward and pierced his wrist.
Several other police officers quickly stepped forward and subdued Geng Liqun.
Ye Xueyu went over, tore off the tape on Zhang Guangfen's mouth, and untied her hands.
Having escaped death, Zhang Guangfen's face was pale and her eyes were dull. Geng Liqun was handcuffed by the police and escorted to the police car outside.
Zhang Guangfen seemed to suddenly react: "Brother Qun, I really love you."
Her tone was urgent and loud as if she was expressing her sincerity.
Geng Liqun's hand was bandaged. He watched his bright red blood seep through the layers of gauze. His face was twisted and pale in pain, and cold sweat dripped down his face.
He stopped, and the police also wanted to hear about the love story of this adopted brother and sister.
He tilted his head and looked at Zhang Guangfen, who was already old. She was in her fifties, with many wrinkles on her face. Because she had been pampered for so many years, she had gained weight and was plump.
It is precisely this kind of person who talks about love all the time, which makes Geng Liqun feel sick.
Geng Liqun said: "You really have no heart at all, you are selfish and willful. Didn't you hear me? I just said that your parents died at my hands, and your son and daughter-in-law are also dead, I killed them."
"I almost killed you just now, and you still love me? What do you love me for? If your parents knew that their daughter, whom they had plotted someone for her and loved all their lives, had no resentment after learning the cause of their death, they would probably crawl from the ground in anger to look for you, right?"
After Geng Liqun finished speaking, he was taken out by the police. Lin Shuyue stood outside the yard with a camera in her hand, filming the scene of the police escorting Geng Liqun out.
Zuo Musheng was standing in the yard outside the door. The two men looked at each other with expressionless faces.
Just as Geng Liqun was getting into the police car, Zuo Musheng said, "Zuo Cheng, he's not my child either."
