Chapter 218 Clues & Coincidences

The police officer opposite noticed the change in Gu Qingyu's expression and suddenly asked seriously, "Do you have any clues to provide?"

what?

Gu Qingyu's thoughts were interrupted by the police's sudden question and he was stunned for a moment. Only after he heard clearly what the other party asked did Gu Qingyu come to his senses.

She lowered her head and thought for a while, then looked at the other person hesitantly and said, "I don't know if there is any connection between the two, but I think you can look into it in this direction!"

Then Gu Qingyu told the other party about the murder of Accountant Wu in Xinhu, and also mentioned the investigation results of the Xinhu Public Security Bureau at that time.

"If this is a premeditated traffic accident, I think you can extend the direction of the investigation." Gu Qingyu suggested to the other party.

"Thank you for the valuable clues you provided. We will seize the time and investigate this traffic accident as soon as possible."

The traffic accident case is still under investigation and there is no result yet. Gu Qingyu thought about it and decided to go back to the hospital.

Accountant Wu had passed away long ago, but as his bedmate, Chen Guifen should have had some guesses even if she didn't know why he had stayed in the small Red Star Food Factory for so many years.

If Chen Guifen knew that this traffic accident was most likely not a simple accident, Gu Qingyu believed that she would tell her some useful information.

Gu Qingyu returned to the hospital and pulled Chen Guifen to a secluded corridor. Then he looked at her with a heavy face and said, "Sister-in-law Guifen, I just went to the police station to inquire about the situation. The vehicle and driver have not been found yet!"

"Also, I heard from the police at the police station that this accident doesn't seem like an ordinary accident, it's very likely a premeditated murder!"

murder!

As soon as Gu Qingyu finished speaking, Chen Guifen was so frightened by the word "murder" that she took several steps back!

Chen Guifen seemed to be unable to believe what Gu Qingyu said, and murmured, "How is it possible?"

"We are all honest and ordinary people. We have no grudges against each other. Who would do this to us?"

Gu Qingyu looked at Chen Guifen, who was wandering around like a headless fly, and warned her, "Sister-in-law Guifen, if it's really a murder, and it doesn't work once, do you think the other party will continue?"

Not frightened by Gu Qingyu's words, Chen Guifen looked at Gu Qingyu in confusion and asked, "Then...what should we do?"

"So, sister-in-law, you have to think carefully about whether you have any clues to provide to the police, so as to help them solve the case as soon as possible, right?"

Chen Guifen was so anxious that she scratched her hair vigorously. "Director Gu, I really can't think of any clues at the moment."

Seeing this, Gu Qingyu reminded him at the right moment, "Accountant Wu also died in an accident in Xinhu. I wonder if there's any connection between the two."

When Chen Guifen heard what Gu Qingyu said, she was suddenly stunned. She stood there stupidly without saying a word.

Seeing Chen Guifen's reaction, Gu Qingyu knew that she might have come up with some useful information. Therefore, Gu Qingyu stood quietly in the place where she was supposed to accompany Chen Guifen in her thoughts.

Chen Guifen's heart suddenly boiled over with turmoil because of Gu Qingyu's words.

When Chen Guifen thought that her son might suffer such a great hardship because of Accountant Wu, she suddenly hated Accountant Wu in her heart!

When Wu Shaohai was less than one year old, Accountant Wu suddenly said that he wanted to go to Xinhu to work. She wanted to take her son to join him, but Accountant Wu disagreed.

This job lasted nearly twenty years. Except for coming back during festivals, I rarely saw him during other times. Later, he even lost his life in another place.

Speaking of this, Chen Guifen did not hate Accountant Wu, but when a person dies, all debts are settled, so she buried all the hatred in her heart.

Now Director Gu told her that her baby Xiaohai might have suffered this misfortune because of the other party. How could Chen Guifen not hate the other party?

Just when Chen Guifen was about to be overwhelmed by the anger in her heart, Gu Qingyu suddenly spoke and interrupted her thoughts.

"Sister-in-law Guifen, think carefully now. Did Accountant Wu behave in any unusual way before he died?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Guifen looked up at Gu Qingyu and murmured in confusion, "Unusual behavior?"

After thinking for a long time, Chen Guifen really couldn't figure out what was wrong with Accountant Wu!

"I don't know! We've been together so little over the years, I don't really understand what he's thinking!"

"I really can't think of what's wrong!" Chen Guifen grabbed her hair with both hands and squatted down in pain.

Seeing Chen Guifen's painful expression, Gu Qingyu didn't want to force her to continue recalling.

Just when Gu Qingyu was about to give up, Chen Guifen seemed to suddenly think of something. She stood up suddenly, grabbed Gu Qingyu's hand and said, "There's...something's wrong..."

"When Xiaohai was ten years old, I thought it wasn't a good idea to always be apart, so I decided to move our family to Xinhu!"

"I discussed this with the child's father, but he refused to agree. We had a huge argument over it!"

"While we were playing, I accidentally knocked one of his notebooks to the ground. Just as I was about to cut it, he pushed me to the ground and snatched the notebook away!"

"Later, I found a pile of burnt paper in the kitchen. But after the child's father returned to Xinhu, I was cleaning and found an envelope dropped on the corner of the table!"

"Because we had a really bad argument that time, when I found this envelope, I subconsciously hid it and didn't tell the child's father!"

When Gu Qingyu heard Chen Guifen talking about the envelope, she had a feeling that this envelope might be able to solve her long-standing confusion.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingyu asked anxiously, "Sister-in-law Guifen, do you still have that envelope?"

Chen Guifen saw how much Gu Qingyu valued the envelope, and nodded, saying, "I'll keep it safe and keep it at home!"

Hearing Chen Guifang's affirmative answer, Gu Qingyu felt relieved. "Sister-in-law Guifen, I think we might be able to find some clues from this letter?"

"Really? If that's the case, I'll go home and find the envelope now!" Chen Guifen said anxiously.

Seeing this, Gu Qingyu struck while the iron was hot and said, "Sister-in-law Guifen, no matter whether there are clues in this envelope or not, it is always a hope, isn't it?"

"You're right, let's go back now!" Chen Guifen and Gu Qingyu rushed to Yuan's house.

The Yuan family lives in Dazhuang Village, Fangshan District, Beijing. Earlier, when the grandfather and grandson of the Wu family were hit by a large truck and were critically ill, the village organized a donation and went to the county hospital to express their condolences.

When Gu Qingyu and his friends arrived at Dazhuang Village, it was lunchtime, so Chen Guifen was discovered by the sharp-eyed villagers as soon as she returned to Dazhuang Village.

"Guifen, why did you come back so suddenly?"

"Gui Fen, has Xiao Hai woken up?"

"Gui Fen, Xiao Hai's father is gone. Now the Wu family depends on you alone. You must take care of yourself!"

"Gui Fen, if you can't handle it alone, just let me know. I'll ask my eldest brother to come over and help you!"

……

As soon as Chen Guifen entered the village, she was surrounded by villagers who were concerned about the Wu family's grandfather and grandson and asked about their current situation.

"Xiao Hai hasn't woken up yet. I came back to pack some clothes. The hospital needs someone else, and I have to go back to the hospital soon. Everyone, please let me go first!"

Chen Guifen now only wanted to go back to get the letter. She simply replied to the villagers' concern and ran towards home with Gu Qingyu.

The Wu family was the only family in Dazhuang Village that had a two-story house. After Chen Guifen brought Gu Qingyu to the doorstep, she went to look for the envelope on her own.

Gu Qingyu looked around at the interior decoration of the Wu family. It could be seen that the Wu family was one of the best in Dazhuang Village. The Wu family not only had bicycles, sewing machines, and radios, but also a 12-inch black and white TV!

After Gu Qingyu estimated Accountant Wu's approximate income at the Red Star Food Factory, he knew that Accountant Wu's salary alone was not enough to support the Wu family in building a building and purchasing so many home appliances.

What's more, Chen Guifen has already spent more than 2,000 yuan on medical expenses to save her son who was in the intensive care unit.

After such calculation, it is not difficult to see that Accountant Wu must have another more important source of money!

Just as Gu Qingyu was secretly wondering who could have provided so much money to the former accountant, Chen Guifen came out holding a crumpled envelope.

Chen Guifen handed the envelope to Gu Qingyu and said, "Gu... Director Gu... the envelope has been found. Do you see any clues on it?"

Gu Qingyu took the envelope handed to him by Chen Guifen and looked at it carefully. Because of the water stains on the envelope, the handwriting had become blurred and difficult to recognize.

Gu Qingyu took a closer look and could vaguely make out a few words on the sender's address - Xicheng, Che, Hutong, and No. The only word he could make out in the sender's name column was "Yuan".

The envelope was so poorly preserved that Gu Qingyu could only roughly determine from the few blurry words on it that the mailing address was probably near Kuache Hutong, Xicheng District.

Looking at Chen Guifen who was looking at him with hope, Gu Qingyu shook her head helplessly. "Sister-in-law Guifen, the words on the envelope are too blurred by water. I can't see any useful clues at the moment."

"Let's leave professional matters to professionals. Let's hand over our previous speculation and this letter to the police station and have them investigate. What do you think?"

Seeing that Gu Qingyu couldn't find any clues, Chen Guifen lowered her head in disappointment, "Then we can only leave it to the comrades at the police station to investigate!"

Gu Qingyu looked at the depressed Chen Guifen and said comfortingly, "Sister-in-law Guifen, don't be disappointed. Believe in our police's ability to handle cases!"

"No matter what, Xiao Hai is still receiving treatment in the intensive care unit. You can't collapse at this time!"

Chen Guifen heard the worry in Gu Qingyu's tone and forced a smile and nodded, "I understand, don't worry!"

After Gu Qingyu accompanied Chen Guifen to the police station to hand in the envelope and then sent her back to the hospital, she took a bus back home.

Along the way, Gu Qingyu kept thinking about the envelope she had seen before. She always felt that she seemed to have seen the address on it somewhere, but she just couldn't remember it for a while.

Where did he see it? Gu Qingyu returned home distracted, still thinking about this question.

Seeing that Gu Qingyu had been absent-minded since returning home, Gu Lei couldn't help but ask, "Qingyu, what are you thinking about?"

After being interrupted by Gu Lei, Gu Qingyu finally came back to her senses. "Ah? It's just a small thing I didn't understand. It's nothing!"

Gu Qingyu looked around the house and didn't see Professor Ouyang. She couldn't help but ask, "Why are you home alone? Where is Professor Ouyang?"

Gu Lei replied, "The professor's house has been renovated, and he took Xiao Yifei over to inspect it!"

"So fast?" Gu Qingyu said in surprise.

Gu Lei explained, "The professor said that the yard only needed some simple tidying up, and the key was to repair the house. He gave the workers extra money, so they were able to finish it so quickly!"

When Gu Qingyu heard this, she understood everything. Professor Ouyang felt that it was too much trouble for him to live in his house all the time, so he worked overtime to renovate the house.

However, Gu Qingyu could understand what the other person was thinking. She looked at Gu Lei and asked, "When does the professor plan to move to the old house?"

"After New Year's Day! The professor said that since he's disturbed you for so long, he'll have to wait until you're on vacation and have some free time so we can celebrate together before moving!"

I think that a nest of gold or silver is not as good as your own nest of earth. Even if Gu Qingyu lives here comfortably, it is not as comfortable as living in your own home!

Thinking of this, Gu Qingyu smiled and said, "Since the professor said so, I will prepare a housewarming gift in advance to congratulate Professor Ouyang and his family on moving to a new home!"

Gu Qingyu thought of the office location he had asked Gu Lei to find, and asked, "By the way, how's the house search going?"

Gu Lei frowned upon hearing this. He complained to Gu Qingyu with a bitter face, "Qingyu, I've worn myself out from running so much that I only found two acceptable places!"

"Why don't you go over there during the holidays and keep your eyes peeled. If that doesn't work, I'll look for it again!"

Gu Qingyu looked at Gu Lei's worried look and asked with amusement, "Is it really that hard to find?"

Gu Lei muttered upon hearing this, "You must have specified a three-kilometer radius around Peking University, otherwise it would have been easier to find!"

"I have to attend a classmate's birthday party tomorrow, so I'm busy. The day after tomorrow, I'll go with you to check out the venue!"

After Gu Qingyu and Gu Lei decided on the time to go over and check the venue, they returned to the house to rest for a while. She had been running around with Chen Guifang all day and was really tired!

Just when Gu Qingyu took out the birthday invitation given by the Yuan sisters and placed it on the table, she suddenly stopped!

Gu Qingyu opened the invitation and looked at the address of the banquet - No. 23 Kuache Hutong, Xicheng District!

She asked why the address on the envelope looked familiar, and so that's what happened!

I just don’t know if the Yuan in the Yuan sisters has any connection with the Yuan on the envelope!
