Chapter 1457: Had brushed past her
Huo Shaoheng looked at her without batting an eyelid. Although he was greatly shocked, he did not show it on the surface.
However, other people who were listening in did not have such good self-control and self-restraint as he did.
“Your att.i.tude of being a busybody is really disgusting.”Chen lie did not hold back and insulted her. “The two of them are loving each other. What has it got to do with you, Ugly Freak?”
Gu Yanran’s face turned as red as pig’s blood.
She was about to retort when Huo Shaoheng said plainly, “You’re carrying a murder case on your shoulders. Tell me honestly how you killed… Little Nianzhi. Confess and you’ll be lenient. Resist and you’ll be punished.”
Huo Shaoheng finally understood what he zhichu meant when he said in his text that “If you want to avenge Little Nianzhi, kill Gu Yanran and pay with your life.”.
Did he zhichu already know about this “Little Nianzhi”?
However, he didn’t say a word. He even tried to draw everyone’s attention, hinting that the amnesiac gu nianzhi beside them was Gu Xiangwen’s daughter.
Huo Shaoheng’s expression was slightly cold. He immediately asked Gu Yanran, “When did you meet he zhichu?”
“… three years. Oh, no, it should have been four years ago… Why?”Gu Yanran didn’t understand.
“We just met four years ago?”Huo Shaoheng was surprised. “The he family and the Gu family aren’t family friends?”
“I don’t know. You’ll have to ask Gu Xiangwen about that. Unfortunately, he’s already dead.”Gu Yanran shrugged, looking numb.
This meant that what the nanny said was most likely true.
Huo Shaoheng frowned. Could it be that little he zhichu and his father had really died not long after leaving Uyuni town in Bolivia?
If that was the case, then professor he would be even more difficult to deal with.
Huo Shaoheng thought about it and said to Gu Yanran, “Tell me about how you murdered Little Nianzhi.”
Gu Yanran didn’t want to say anything at first, but Huo Shaoheng narrowed his eyes. She couldn’t help but think of the fear of being subjected to electrocution.
She closed her eyes and resigned herself to her fate.
She could tell that Huo Shaoheng was on the verge of exploding in anger, even though he appeared calm.
However, the calm on the man’s face didn’t hide the bloodthirsty coldness in his eyes.
It could also be that people had a strong desire to confide in each other before they died. Gu Yanran began to confess her crimes with trepidation.
“I don’t like Gu Nianzhi. I’ve never liked her.”
“She’s so ugly, has a bad temper, and isn’t in good health, but they all like her.”
“Compared to her, I’m like a dog’s tail in the corner, and she’s like a rose in the garden.”
“TSK, she’s just a dead rose.”
“However, I was the only one who accompanied her since she was young, and she still listened to my every word. I told her to go east, but she didn’t dare to Go West…”
Gu Yanran had a sick smile on her face.
Chen Lie couldn’t stand it anymore. “Just now, you said that Little Nianzhi had a bad temper, and now she listens to everything you say. You told her to go east, but she didn’t dare to Go West!”
“So, was she good-tempered, or did you just make it up to smear her name?”
Gu Yanran choked for a moment and turned her head to say, “She used to have a bad temper, but after we got to know each other better, she… she became very obedient.”
“Anyway, I can’t get away from you smearing her name.”Chen Lie’s face was sullen. “I don’t want to listen to this kind of meaningless and illogical confession. I’m going out first.”
Huo Shaoheng nodded. “Close the door.”
After Chen Lie left, Zhao Liangze and Yin s.h.i.+xiong were still in the cabin.
The two of them were more disciplined. They had been recording and listening at the side. They were not as sarcastic and problematic as Chen Lie.
Chen lie left angrily. Gu Yanran restrained herself a little and did not say anything more to slander little nianzhi.
She lowered her head and wrung the corner of her s.h.i.+rt with one hand. She continued to explain, “Later, there was news from j.a.pan that Gu Xiangwen’s plane had been taken hostage. I acted according to the plan and took her to the submarine…”
She did not speak after that.
Huo Shaoheng already knew about the situation in j.a.pan. He was only concerned about Gu Nianzhi’s whereabouts now.
After waiting for a while, seeing that Gu Yanran still did not speak, Huo Shaoheng could only ask calmly, “What happened after entering the submarine?”
Gu Yanran looked up at him. “Didn’t you already know?”
“We need you to say it again. Why did you choose to sink the submarine in the Blue Hole? Why is there an electronic fence there?”
Huo Shaoheng asked them one by one.
Gu Yanran was scared out of her wits by his electrocution. Whenever he asked, she would speak subconsciously.
“… I chose the blue hole because I knew there was an electric fence there. Gu Xiangwen is a very powerful person. He said that there seemed to be something wrong with the blue hole. I can’t remember clearly. It’s probably a magnetic field or something…”
Huo Shaoheng’s heart skipped a beat. It was a magnetic field again.
Song Jinning had also said that the residual energy of the super-strong magnetic field had been detected here.
Also, the day Gu Nianzhi appeared in C city, there was also an abnormal magnetic field.
Thinking of this, Huo Shaoheng felt that it was necessary to go back and interrogate Bai Jinyi again.
Seven years ago, Bai Jinyi had suddenly said that there was a special magnetic field in C city. She did not seem to have mentioned her source..
It was obvious that Bai Jinyi was hiding something.
She had been sentenced to death for the murder of Huo Shaoheng’s uncle, Huo Guanyuan’s wife, Luo Xinxue. The sentence had been suspended for two years, and a year had pa.s.sed since then.
If this matter had not been exposed, no one would have known what she was hiding after she was sentenced to death.
Huo Shaoheng’s mind raced. He had already determined his target after returning to the country, but he was still quietly looking at Gu Yanran.
Gu Yanran continued,”… as long as I bring the submarine to the blue hole and let it sink, no one will notice.”
“Because trespa.s.sing in this place will trigger the electric fence.”
“I’ve seen the situation when the electric fence was activated once. It was very scary.”
She looked up at Huo Shaoheng. “You’ve seen it once too.”
That time, she had almost taken Gu Nianzhi’s life.
Huo Shaoheng couldn’t help but recall that in order to save them, she had risked her life many times in the blue hole when the electric fence in the blue hole was full of blue and purple lightning.
Did she know that she had pa.s.sed by that Little Nianzhi Here?
Did she feel that Little Nianzhi, who was related to her, was also sleeping at the bottom of the sea when she was on the brink of death?
This kind of a.s.sociation was like a sharp blade, cutting and cutting. It was as if he wanted to dig out his heart, cut it into pieces, and sprinkle it over the sea.
Gu Yanran saw that Huo Shaoheng’s face had suddenly turned ashen, and she was very afraid. She hurriedly said,”… that’s it. I can’t tell anyone that she’s dead. I can only say that she’s missing.”
She had to hand over the body if she said that Xiao Nianzhi was dead.
If she couldn’t hand over the body, what right did she have to say that she was dead?
Only the murderer could say that the victim was dead without seeing the body.
Gu Yanran certainly didn’t want to be accused of murder.
She was waiting for Xiao Nianzhi to disappear for seven years, and then she would be able to legally accept the Gu family’s property.
Gu Yanran pursed her lips and said,”… four years ago, I met professor he and his a.s.sistant, Wen Shouyi, in the United States and hired lawyer Wen to represent me.”
“… it was them who encouraged me to go to the Huaxia Empire to look for a backer.”
She was really regretting it.
She didn’t actually need a backer, but he zhichu and Wen Shouyi had encouraged her. In addition, the j.a.panese thought it would be a good idea for her to go to Huaxia and help them gather more information about the upper cla.s.s of Huaxia Society, therefore, they also agreed to let her contact the Huaxia Secret Service personnel.
Now that she thought about it, if she had not gone to the Huaxia Empire, she would not have known the fake Gu Nianzhi, and would not have provoked Huo Shaoheng and caused all the trouble that would have caused her to die without a burial!
Huo Shaoheng recalled the first time Gu Yanran had seen gu nianzhi and calmly said, “You didn’t recognize Gu Nianzhi when you first saw her.”
Gu Yanran shook her head with a wry smile. “I was scared out of my mind when I first heard her name. But when I saw her face again, I was relieved. I thought it was just the same name.”
“Why?”Huo Shaoheng asked carefully. He didn’t want to miss any clues related to Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Yanran cried out, “Couldn’t you tell? What did Nianzhi look like when she was young? ! How could she be so beautiful when she grew up? !”
Not only was she beautiful, but she was also tall and curvy. Her figure was many times better than the figure that Gu Yanran had once been proud of.
Gu Yanran was deeply jealous and did not believe that the fake Gu Nianzhi had anything to do with the real Little Nianzhi.
“Until later, I found out that she actually considered herself Gu Xiangwen’s biological daughter and wanted to compete with me for the family property!”Gu Yanran said hatefully, “How dare she? ! She could even forge DNA!”
“So, you still think that Nianzhi’s DNA test was fake.”Huo Shaoheng crossed his arms in deep thought, “Actually, the DNA test on her and Little Nianzhi both showed that they were Gu Xiangwen’s biological daughters and there was nothing fake about them. Are you sure that Gu Xiangwen really didn’t have twins?”
“Absolutely not. Impossible.”Gu Yanran was resolute, “The little girl inside the submarine is the real Gu Nianzhi. Huo Shaoheng, you’ve got the wrong person and you’ve fallen in love with the wrong person. You’ve done so much for a fake. Doesn’t your conscience hurt? !”
Huo Shaoheng moved his fingers and resisted the urge to Slap Gu Yanran to death. He turned around and said, “Take her away. She’ll be held for espionage and murder for the time being.”
..
He took the salvage s.h.i.+p from the Caribbean Sea and went to the international waters. The Huaxia Empire’s wars.h.i.+ps were handed over here, and the small submarines were sent to the wars.h.i.+ps and brought back to the country. Yin s.h.i.+xiong was responsible for escorting them.
Huo Shaoheng took the rest of the people back to Barbados and took the special plane that was parked in Barbados to return to the country first.
Once he returned to the imperial capital, Huo Shaoheng ordered someone to call Ye Xuan.
In order to confirm the ident.i.ty of this little nianzhi, Huo Shaoheng wanted to obtain other evidence besides her DNA.
Ye Xuan heard that they had found the body of a little girl in the Blue Hole of the Caribbean Sea and immediately went to the special operations forces.
He sat in the small meeting room and saw the situation inside the small submarine on the big screen. He also saw the little girl lying quietly on the Pink Princess Bed.
Ye Xuan burst into tears.
He covered his face and sobbed silently. “Yes, this is the Little Nianzhi I remember.”
“She doesn’t like to write, and she doesn’t like to talk too much.”
“I told her about these little matchstick figures when I was chatting with her online.”
“She likes them very much… I should have known earlier that I had the wrong person…”
“She drew many pictures for me online, all like this… Later, I thought Gu Yanran was her, and even asked her why she didn’t draw matches anymore. She said that her sister didn’t allow her to draw matches…”
“I also thought that her sister was too overbearing, because she didn’t like her sister. Even her favorite match person didn’t allow her to draw matches anymore.”
“Then something happened to Uncle Gu. I heard that Little Nianzhi had gone missing, and Gu Yanran was the only one left to support the huge family fortune. It was too much for her to handle alone, so I came back to help her.”
Ye Xuan continued to talk about what had happened in the past. He was extremely regretful about his choice and mistake at that time.
Huo Shaoheng listened expressionlessly at the side. Suddenly, he said, “Did you realize that you loved the wrong person and regret it?”
Ye Xuan’s eyes reddened and he nodded heavily. “Of course I regret it. I regret it so much! I’ve known Little Nianzhi since we were kids, but Gu Yanran made me think that she was the girl who saved me and talked to me online.”
“Do you want to see Gu Yanran?”Huo Shaoheng folded his hands and placed them on the desk in front of him. His voice was flat and his tone flat.
Ye Xuan shook his head and said with disdain,”… why haven’t you shot her yet? She has done so many wrong things and committed so many crimes. She even killed her child. How can you let her get away with it? !”
Huo Shaoheng knocked on the desk. “Let me correct you. We didn’t let her get away with it. She has been in our custody. However, there are still some matters that haven’t been resolved, so we haven’t shot her yet.”
“You mean you’re going to shoot her? !”Ye Xuan raised his head abruptly, and his eyes lit up. “If that day comes, can you let me watch the execution? !”
“… Why?”Huo Shaoheng suddenly felt that ye Xuan really had a strong taste..
“I want to see how she dies.”Ye Xuan snorted coldly. “Then, I want her to end up in a matchstick painting and burn it for Little Nianzhi to see.”
Huo Shaoheng was silent. He couldn’t refuse this request.
This man was supposed to be someone who treated little nianzhi well other than Gu Xiangwen, right?
If Huo Shaoheng guessed correctly, this ye xuan might be the “Son-in-law”that Gu Xiangwen had specially selected for Little Nianzhi.
“If that day comes, I’ll let you know.”Huo Shaoheng had a very subtle feeling in his heart. After all, he had already treated gu xiangwen as his “Father-in-law,”yet this had happened all of a sudden..
He stood up and finally said, “Everything You Said and did here today has been recorded. Do you mind if I show it to others?”
Ye Xuan was stunned. “I didn’t say anything illegal just now, did I?”
The corners of Huo Shaoheng’s mouth twitched. “No, don’t worry. This is your privacy. Even if there’s something wrong, you won’t use it as evidence in court.”
Ye Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s up to you. I believe you know what to do.”
He hesitated for a moment, finally, he asked,”… according to the video you showed me, Little Nianzhi pa.s.sed away seven years ago. Then the… woman beside you, who is she? Why is she also called Gu Nianzhi? And I remember you saying that she’s also uncle Gu’s daughter. You tested her DNA. “Is the DNA fake?”
Anyone who knew the nineteen-year-old Gu Nianzhi would have this question when they saw the twelve-year-old’s body, right?
Huo Shaoheng didn’t know how to explain it.
He thought for a long time and finally said,”… we’re investigating.”
To be exact, they were waiting for the results of the DNA sequence comparison on Chen Lie’s side.
Ye Xuan was silent for a moment before asking, “Where’s Little Nianzhi’s body? Can I see her?”
“She’s not back yet.”Huo Shaoheng put his hands in his trouser pockets as if he was sending him off. “I’ll take you to see her when she’s back.”
“Thank you.”Ye Xuan nodded at him. “I have one more request. I hope she can be buried with uncle Gu and Aunt Gu.”
Huo Shaoheng:”…”
“She is the daughter of Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu. She was only 12 years old when she died. She was alone at the bottom of the sea for so many years. She must have missed her parents…”
Ye Xuan choked again. “I beg you, Major General Huo…”
