Chapter 120: A Gift

After a suffocating silence, Tao Wutian took a deep breath and said, "The more I think about it, the more I feel that something is wrong. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info I hurriedly called Yang Xiao's mobile phone, but I couldn't get through, I panicked, so I hurriedly drove to find him. I still remember that Yang Xiao told me that he and Han Mengchang had made an appointment to meet in an open-air parking lot near Hancheng Central Hospital. I hurried and hurried, and finally arrived at the parking lot, I saw Yang Xiao's car at a glance, I didn't have time to lock the car, rushed down and shouted, trying to call him back. I didn't know what was going to happen, but, my gut told me it was going to be over, something was going to happen!"

Tao Wutian's hand trembled violently, and he trembled so much that he felt like he had "Parkinson's disease", and the fishing rod fell into the water.

The thin rod floated silently on the surface of the water, like a lifeless corpse. A few leaves that fell from nowhere swam to its side, as if to pay tribute to it.

"Then, as soon as you rushed to Yang Xiao's car, there was an explosion. Yang Xiao and Han Mengchang were killed on the spot, and you lost both legs. Wan Guohou said, "Of course, this is my speculation. ”

Tao Wutian was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke, "Your guess is right. The wrinkles on his face deepened because of the pain, as if they had been carved by an axe and a chisel.

The police investigation concluded that Han Mengchang deliberately arranged to take revenge on the police by suicide. There was a hint of mockery in Wan Guohou's eyes, "Right?"

Tao Wutian nodded heavily.

"However, you know very well in your heart that this is not suicide, it is murder. The murderer is Nan Zeyu, right?" Wan Guohou asked step by step.

Tao Wutian's expression froze, "I never thought that Nan Zeyu would quietly spy on Han Mengchang. When Han Mengchang called Yang Xiao, he probably had murderous intentions. ”

Wan Guohou remembered that he borrowed a phone from Sui Qingliu in prison, and perhaps it was because of his phone call that he indirectly led his father to death. His eyes were lowered, his heart was wailing and wailing, but his face was only a little pale, and his original complexion was very pale, which made his mood change not easy to see.

Probably he hid it so well that Tao Wutian didn't notice his sadness at all.

"Two police officers from the county bureau were implicated, one was killed and one was injured, and the case was supposed to be very big. But Nan Zeyu is also really capable, so he arranged for someone to divert his attention and put the blame on Han Mengchang's head! They didn't use their brains to think about it, how could Han Mengchang, as an ordinary political teacher, get those bombs?" Tao Wutian sighed tiredly, "I became a cripple, of course, there was no way to work anymore, so my eldest brother went through the formalities for me and let me recuperate at home." ”

"In the first few years, I was not convinced, and I was thinking about how to bring down Nan Zeyu every day. Tao Wutian looked at the willows on the other side of the river, in a daze, "Later, Jiaojiao grew up day by day, and my heart was not so big." Anyway, he is Jiaojiao's father, and he is really good to Jiaojiao. ”

"But you still hate Director Minami. Wan Guohou said lightly, "Otherwise, you wouldn't have moved into the good house." ”

"I moved away because I really didn't want to continue to watch him play big brother around. I also persuaded my eldest brother, but it didn't work. I really don't understand, what kind of ecstasy soup did he give his eldest brother to drink, so that he could make his eldest brother obey him?"

"Let me guess. Wan Guohou said, "Probably, it started with the pursuit of Mrs. Nan by the head of the South Hall?"

Tao Wutian raised his eyebrows in confusion, "Really? It had to be September '02, probably the beginning of September?" Anyway, he was very attentive at that time, as if he often sent brand-name cosmetics to Baihe, and the eldest brother praised him for his hard work. ”

Wan Guohou sneered in his heart, it seems that Tao Baihe and Nan Zeyu "rolled" together not long after they met. He had calmed down a lot now, no longer as angry as he had been a few days ago, but a ridiculously disgusting feeling still made him uncomfortable.

Tao Wutian seemed to realize that he had said something inappropriate, he looked at Wan Guohou in embarrassment, and hurriedly said, "Can you help me pick up the fishing rod?"

Wan Guohou bent down, scooped up the fishing rod that had not yet drifted away, and handed it to Tao Wutian, "Since there is no gain, why don't you go around elsewhere?"

Tao Wutian thought for a while, "It's okay, I don't know what's wrong today, not a single fish has been baited." ”

Wan Guohou put away the fishing rod, put it into the glove bag on Tao Wutian's lap, and then lifted the empty folding bucket from the ground, "If you want to fill this bucket, you might as well go to my house to catch it quickly." ”

"Forget it. Tao Wutian took the bucket from his hand and slowly stacked it layer by layer, "I'll just be a Jiang Taigong today." ”

Wan Guohou smiled slightly, knowing that the other party was sarcastic about himself. He didn't get angry, but slowly pushed Tao Wutian's wheelchair, "Let's continue the topic just now, you say, you don't know why your brother is so obedient to Director Nan?"

"Hmm. ”

"It's simple. Heartfelt love, coercion, and cooperation with the same interests, one or more of these three possibilities, or a mixture of them. Wan Guohou said, "What do you think?"

Tao Wutian seemed to shudder, "I hope it's the first one." ”

"Are you running away?"

This sharp question almost made Tao Wutian breathless, he instinctively tightened his jaw, and then asked angrily, "If it were you, what could you do? Let Bai He divorce? Let Jiaojiao become a fatherless child at such a young age?"

Wan Guohou shrugged, "I didn't say you can't run away. ”

Tao Wutian was not light, so he simply stopped talking.

After the two were silent for a while, Tao Wutian's anger seemed to subside a little, "Stop here for a moment." "Do you see the pavilion there?" he said, and he gestured not far away. "Take me there, I love it. ”

Located around the corner of the creek, this pavilion is airy on all sides, looking cool and tasteful.

"I'm old and don't have the fighting spirit anymore. Except for Jiaojiao, I don't have anything to worry about. Tao Wutian touched the pillars of the pavilion and said, "If it weren't for your appearance, I would have planned to take many things to the grave." ”

"Unfortunately, I showed up. Wan Guohou walked across from Tao Wutian, then unbuttoned his coat and sat down on the stone bench in the pavilion. "There are some things that you don't want to say, so don't force them. He said calmly, "Anyway, if you don't say it, I will find out sooner or later." Patience is the least lacking quality. ”

His pale, almost transparent face, and his pure black suit, somehow made Tao Wutian feel a kind of fear, as if there was a Grim Reaper sitting across from him.

"I didn't want to hide it from you. Tao Wutian smiled bitterly, "I know, I basically told you, except for two things. ”

Wan Guohou blinked and motioned for the other party to continue.

"First, as I said earlier, Nan Zeyu secretly sped on Han Mengchang, which made me very puzzled. On the day of the accident at the eldest brother's house, Han Mengchang accompanied his wife in the hospital, which had nothing to do with the case at all. Later, I found out that in fact, a few days after the case, Nan Zeyu began to spy on Han Mengchang. What is there about Han Mengchang that deserves Nan Zeyu's attention? Does he think that Han Mengchang instructed Han Nuowei to kill people and set fires?"

Tao Wutian's question, Wan Guohou did not answer it. Of course, Wan Guohou knew the reason why Nan Zeyu did this, because after a simple trial in the hospital, Nan Zeyu gave up his plan to use him as an important breakthrough. After all, in March '85, not long after he was born, Nan Zeyu probably regarded Han Mengchang as a key person who knew the whereabouts of the Hannover family's treasures. Perhaps, in addition to surveillance, Nan Zeyu had already asked Han Mengchang about the whereabouts of the seven-colored pearl and something like that.

The more Wan Guohou thought about it, the more heartbroken he became, and he hardly had the courage to think about it further.

"Second, I later gave up tracking, not just because I became crippled, and not just because of Jiaojiao. Tao Wutian laughed self-deprecatingly, "After the car explosion, I had to stay at home for a long time, and I couldn't go anywhere. Slowly, I found that the relationship between Nan Zeyu and his eldest brother was different from that of ordinary Weng sons-in-law. They often talk secretly in the study, and they always close the door; Nan Zeyu will go abroad every once in a while to 'investigate', and the country he goes to is mainly the neon country; after the eldest brother's eyesight has dropped sharply, the ophthalmologist Nan Zeyu found is also a neon countryman. ”

When Tao Wutian said this, his speed of speech sped up a lot, obviously extremely excited.

"Even if they have a close relationship with the Neon Nations, so what?"

Tao Wutian breathed a sigh of relief, "In 85, the third child died in that tragedy, and at that time, there were clues pointing to the Neon people. His eyes grew red, but not from tears, but from rapid congestion.

"I really can't figure it out, why did the Neon Nation people come all the way to Hancheng to kill a person who opened an amber shop?" Tao Wutian licked his slightly dry lips, "Robbery? This cost is too high; Seeking revenge? What kind of enmity does the Mous family have with the Neon Nation? And most importantly, why did the third child die in this massacre?"

Wan Guohou stopped talking, and the old detective was indulging in painful memories and did not notice his expression.

"When I found out that the relationship between my eldest brother and Nan Zeyu was extraordinary, and he was also very close to the Neon people, I suddenly lost the courage to continue the investigation. Tao Wutian lowered his head, and his voice was much lower.

"Because you have lost one brother and cannot afford to lose another. Wan Guohou said lightly, "I understand the normal feelings of people. ”

Tao Wutian raised his head suddenly, "No, you don't understand!"

Wan Guohou stood up, and while buttoning his coat, he said, "You misunderstood. I mean I understand human feelings, not that I understand your feelings. ”

He took two steps forward, "In the same way, you won't understand my feelings. ”

His tone was light, but his eyes were grim, like a white wolf standing alone in a cold wasteland.

Tao Wutian turned his head, as if he didn't want to face him anymore, "I'm tired, push me back to the room." ”

After returning to the room, Tao Wutian asked Wan Guohou to close the door, and then he slid his wheelchair to the closet.

"There's a quilt bag on top of this cupboard, you take it down. Open the bag, and at the bottom, there's a compartment with the contents for me. ”

Wan Guohou quickly found the thing, which was a notebook, about the same size as a 5.5-inch mobile phone. He resisted the urge to open it and handed it to Tao Wutian.

Tao Wutian took the notebook with a solemn expression. He grabbed the notebook as if he were grasping a life-saving straw, "I want to use it to exchange a promise with you." ”

"I guess I know what you mean. Wan Guohou sighed softly, "I can't give you a guarantee of 120,000 points, because the specific executor is not me." ”

"But you can always spare her life, right?" Tao Wutian tilted his head slightly. Seeing that Wan Guohou was silent, he hurriedly emphasized, "I have another gift for you, but I can't show it to you now, it will take a few months." ”

"I'm not interested in gifts. Wan Guohou's expression was complicated, "At the same time, I want to say that I am not cruel to the point of killing a child. ”

"Then I'll take you as a promise. Tao Wutian stared at Wan Guohou's face, not wanting to miss any subtle change in expression.

Tao Wutian opened the book, then turned it over, facing Wan Guohou.

Wan Guohou held his breath and carefully took a quick look. Then, he took the notebook from Tao Wutian's hand, then walked to the edge of the sofa and sat down. The moment the book was taken away, Tao Wutian's tangled expression seemed to have all his luck taken away.

"On September 13th, when the fire broke out, at 9 p.m., you were at Tao Fu's house, right?"

"Yes. ”

"It's so late, did you go to his house to steal?"

"Yes. ”

"How did you trick Tao Baihe into opening the door for you?"

"The boss asked me to polish a batch of amber, and I sent it to him. ”

"You didn't find anything valuable, so you set it on fire. Was Tao Baihe with you when you set the fire?"

"Nope. ”

"Besides Tao Baihe, who else did you see in the Tao family?"

"Mother Lin. ”

"You raped Tao Baihe and was seen by Mother Lin, have you ever thought about sparing Mother Lin's life?"

"Nope. ”

"You are reluctant to kill Tao Baihe, but you are willing to kill Mother Lin?"

"Yes. ”

"Your mother has cancer, and treatment costs a lot of money, are you stealing to treat her?"

"No matter how much money you have, you have to be cured. ”

"Did you plan to rape Tao Baihe in the first place?"

"Yes. ”

"You are so young, you set fires, rape, and kill people just because you can't steal, how can you be so ruthless?"

"Born that way. ”

Wan Guohou looked at the two rows of completely different handwriting, and secretly sighed in his heart: Grandpa, how accurate your speculation is!

Except for the different wording of individual sentences, the others are basically the same as those analyzed by Mo Aogu.

"I'm curious, how did you get your hands on it?"

Tao Wutian hesitated, "I stole it from the archives." He met Wan Guohou's surprised gaze, "It's the day after Yang Xiao and I finished drinking." ”
