Chapter 90: The Facts of the Case
Until this time, there were still no acquaintances and friends of the couple who wanted to believe that Gu Cheng would be a cold-blooded murderer of his wife and daughter. Even the police have confirmed that the relationship between the couple is not as harmonious as people think. People have no way to believe that Mr. Gu, who is gentle and friendly, has never fought with anyone since he was a child, and has never blushed with anyone after work, will be a murderer.
Subsequent investigations revealed that in recent years, Lui had become obsessed with the social life of the upper class, buying a large number of luxury goods, clothes, and attending various parties and drinking parties, so that he would incur high debts.
What's even more incredible is that the eight-year-old daughter of the two was found to be addicted to tobacco and drugs at the autopsy. And the source of her drugs was actually his grandfather Lu Song's nightclub. is also infected with drugs, as well as Lu Sitong, who is his wife.
And the investigation in Yixue also found that Lu Wen actually bullied her classmates and abused small animals. And these facts were previously covered up by Lu Song, who was in charge of his granddaughter's education, and they didn't even reach the ears of Gu Cheng and his wife. The little princess of the Gu family, whom everyone loves, is actually the image of a witch and a sister outside.
Then, the mysterious disappearance of Guo, a close friend of the Lu family and a female court clerk who is also an alumnus of the two, made the case even more confusing. Ms. Guo's name is Lan, and she is Lu Sitong's classmate, and she was also good friends with Gu Cheng when she was in school.
After graduating, he worked as a clerk in the court, but he never married. Guo Lan had a lot of clerical correspondence with Lu Sitong, who worked as a clerk in the Finance Bureau, so after graduation, he and Lu Shi have been moving closely and are mutual friends. Guo Lan, on the other hand, is average-looking and very popular, and has no negative evaluations.
So there are two main versions in the market, one is that Mr. Gu is guilty, thinking that Gu Cheng can't bear his wife's increasingly vigorous view of luxury consumption, and can't bear that his daughter fell early under the temptation of her father-in-law, and finally embarked on the road of no return to kill his wife and daughter.
And the Gu family's guards and servants were all added by the Lu family to control and monitor Gu Cheng, so they were solved by him together. Of course, there is also Lu's derailment, and Lu Song forced Gu Cheng to cooperate with evil interpretations such as crimes or caring for projects. In short, the view of this faction is that Gu Cheng was unbearable to the oppression of the Lu family, and finally resisted, killed the whole family and fled from Chang'an.
As for Guo Lan, it is even possible that he cooperated with Mr. Gu to kill his wife and daughter, and then joined him and lived a happy life of double accommodation and double flight.
However, what doesn't make sense is that Gu Cheng only has one wife from the Lu family, and if he is in love with Gu Cheng, he can be married by Gu Cheng Mingmei, so why become Gu Cheng's mistress in the popular version. And in the eyes of acquaintances, Guo Lan is more of a good friend of the Lu family, and his reputation is good, so he scoffs at the mistress theory.
And the version of the conspiracy theory that more people are willing to believe is that the upright Gu Cheng found out that his wife was in debt and his daughter was infected with drugs, and he couldn't bear the oppression of the Lu family and resisted, so he found evidence of the Lu family's crime, and was finally killed by the Lu family. As for Lu Song and others, they were sacrifices thrown out by the Lu family in order to cover up the evidence.
Guo Lan was born in the court, and in order to seek justice for the Gu family, he was also killed by the Lu family in the end.
However, there are also serious problems in this version, since Gu Cheng has been killed, why do you have to sacrifice Lu Song's father and daughter plus the housekeeper to accompany the funeral. Is it just to stigmatize Gu Cheng? This obviously doesn't make sense. However, it is such a logical version, but it can make more people want to believe it, which shows Gu Cheng's good character and the unpopularity of the Lu family.
Gu Cheng has disappeared, and the scene is very clean, leaving no valid evidence. The case became an unsolved case in Chang'an, and Gu Cheng was wanted by the federal government for a long time as a suspect.
Soon after, it shows that Youzhou broke out a battle against the Northern Barbarians, followed by the final battle of Liangzhou and Bingzhou in the northwest. Under the cover of the smoke of war, the case was closed and became a dusty file in the Investigation Bureau.
In the mouth of Chen Laoshi, who was Gu Cheng back then, the investigation team restored the truth of the incident that year.
Gu Cheng and Lu Sitong met in Weimo, and at first the two were simply attracted to each other, and they didn't know the identity of the proprietor and former serf between each other. After all, Gu Cheng was admitted to the public school, and the whole family had automatically escaped from slavery, and was only regarded as an ordinary poor child.
As for Lu Sitong, she actually doesn't like the Lu family's background, and as a concubine, although she is quite loved by her father Lu Song, she has no status in the Lu family. After going to school, she also concealed her Xianyang Lu family's background, and the love between the two was not false.
After the two lived independently in Chang'an, they lived harmoniously and beautifully at first, as a friend said, they were indeed like glue. However, after the two gave birth, the burden of life began to be a little unbearable for the two. The Lu family was temporarily unable to work after giving birth, and although Gu Cheng's salary alone was not meager, he still had to support his daughter, and at the same time he had to support Xianyang's parents, and his life was tight.
Lu Song appeared in the lives of the two at this time. Lu's father, who changed his mind and broke away from the Lu family to live in Chang'an, quickly conquered the husband and wife who were not in a deep life through financial help, and with the excuse of his granddaughter, he quickly established the image of a loving father.
A few years later, Lu Song's underworld power in Chang'an was gradually established and began to flourish, and Lu Song, who knew his daughter Mo Ruo's father, also used economic means to make Lu Sitong gradually infected with the habit of spending a lot of money. Although the Lu family is a concubine, after all, she was well-behaved and sensible when she was young, and she was loved by her father, and there was never a shortage of brocade clothes and food.
It is extremely rare to be able to live a simple life with Gu Cheng, coupled with his good looks and getting used to dressing up with the support of Lu Song, and with the improvement of Gu Cheng's status as a technician, he gradually opened up his fame in the middle class of Chang'an and began to go over to the upper class.
Lu Song has always played the role of a good father and grandfather before, although Gu Cheng occasionally noticed his human nature, and did not pay too much attention to the consideration of tiger poison and not eating children. As his daughter grew older, Gu Cheng's status improved, the federation engaged in infrastructure construction, built railways and other facilities, and Gu Cheng, who was busy with official business, worked overtime and traveled more and more frequently, and began to gradually ignore the attention of his wife and daughter.
At this time, Lu's father began to gradually show his sharp minions, expanding his granddaughter with business, reducing his financial support for his daughter, and luring his granddaughter Lu Wen to gradually degenerate. From thrift to luxury, Lu Sitong, who was accustomed to the upper quality of life, could not be repaid, and began to gradually borrow debts until he defaulted on usury.
By the time Lu Song completely tore his face and showed his minions, the situation was out of control. Gu Cheng, who found out that the signs were wrong, began to secretly investigate his father-in-law, and only then did he know what a terrible monster family he had provoked. The Lu family has been operating in Xianyang for a hundred years, and there are countless hidden forces, and even in Chang'an, there are a lot of hidden forces, so they can dominate one side and stand tall.
Gu Cheng, who had no way to ask for help, found out that his wife and daughter had embarked on the road of corruption and depravity when he had a showdown with his father-in-law, and it was difficult to turn back. At this time, Lu Song proposed that Gu Cheng not only take care of the construction project of the Public Works Department, but also asked Gu Cheng to provide some federal hidden warehouses that only the Public Works Department has mastered for it to transform into a drug warehouse.
What ultimately led to Gu Cheng's outbreak was his daughter's illness. Lu Wen did not have a cold, but severe tuberculosis and brain damage caused by an overdose of drugs. Looking at his daughter who was unconscious in the hospital bed and might not be able to regain consciousness even if he was cured, Gu Cheng finally decided to embark on the road of no return.
The sparks lit up, Chen honestly smacked his cigarette, spoke slowly, in a low tone, and completely used the third person, as if the former Gu Cheng was no longer a non-existent person.
That day, Gu Cheng stood in front of Wenwen's bed, staring at his daughter's face while crying. What a cute and charming little face, but to bear such a miserable and humble life. Her father's incompetence caused her to lie on the bed in pain now, Gu Cheng didn't know what kind of scene Lu Wen's consciousness would be, whether it was a hideous devil or a bleak cloud, when she thought that she would have to spend her whole life in bed like this, and she could no longer shout her father with a sweet smile, Gu Cheng's heart was like a knife.
Gu Cheng injected two sleeping injections into Lu Wen's hanging bottle, and didn't dare to look at his daughter's face anymore, he couldn't accept that his daughter lost her breath in front of him. Turn off the lights and close the door, just as you did when you return home in the evening, visiting your sleeping daughter.
Gu Cheng walked down to the study on the next floor, and Lu Song was waiting for him proudly in the study. He probably never imagined that Gu Cheng, who had always been obedient and never argued with others, would do this, and pierced his heart with a short knife sandwiched in the drawings of the Chang'an underpass. ”
Chen Laoshi was obviously willing to mention this man again, and skipped this man's death in one sentence. After taking two puffs of cigarette vigorously, a cough that did not belong to the old smoker appeared violently.
Sun Yizhen's ears moved slightly, and she smiled and whispered, "Honest uncle, you speak slowly, we are not in a hurry." ”
There was a knock on the door, and a loud female voice sounded: "Honest uncle, I brought you food." ”
The gate opened, and a tall woman in a coarse cloth dress appeared at the gate of the courtyard. Unlike her loud voice, the woman shrunk slightly. may have never seen such a beautiful woman, coupled with the status of the women's superiors, the woman was a little cringe when talking to Li Zhien who greeted her.
Li Zhien said enthusiastically: "It's the pillar sister-in-law, right?" Brother Zhu said just now, thank you for your hard work. ”
Chen Laoshi glanced at the pillar at the door: "Xiaojuan, come in." Don't stand at the door. ”
"Uncle, the pillar of my house said that it is rare for the chiefs to come here, so I specially made some wild mountain mushrooms from here, and brought a hen to you. I also cut some of the wild boar meat that my second uncle hunted yesterday and stewed a bunch, and the rest are home-cooked side dishes, and I don't know if the chiefs are used to eating them. Sister-in-law Juan walked in with a big basket and said while putting vegetables on the table.
"Sister-in-law Zhu, it's too hard for you, so you broke the bank." Sun Yizhen stood up and said to Sister-in-law Juan with a smile: "We came in a hurry, and we didn't bring any gifts. Just now, I saw that the waist knife brought by Brother Zhu was damaged, and I have a short knife for self-defense, which is not the standard equipment of the army, but I use it at home. I'll give it to you, take it to Brother Zhuzi, and count it as our thanks. ”
"How can this be made, it's all the food ...... the family" Sister-in-law Juan panicked when she heard this, and she didn't dare to agree, but her eyes were staring at the beautiful short knife, and she couldn't leave it for a moment. Although Sister-in-law Juan didn't understand the characteristics of steel, she couldn't take her eyes off it for a while when she looked at the beautiful shape of the knife.
The little princess of the Sun family carries a sword, the best tungsten steel forging, the scabbard is embossed with rhinoceros skin, and the swallow is also wrapped with some gold wire, which looks extremely exquisite.
Sister-in-law Juan reacted immediately, and hurriedly said, "Where can I receive the chief's things." The pillar also said that it is rare for the chiefs to come to us, and there is a bonfire in the village in the evening, so if the female chiefs are not in a hurry, let me invite a few of them to participate in it. ”
Chen Laoshi said on the side: "Xiao Juan'er, you can take the chief's wishes." The other prefects are busy with official business, and I am afraid that ......"
Sun Yizhen said with a smile: "Not busy, not busy, we are here this time mainly to commend Uncle Chen, but we are not in a hurry to return." If you don't bother, then let's see the customs of Yizhou in the evening. ”
Chen honestly said: "Hanzhong is located in the north of Yizhou, which is the border of Liang Yongyi, and it is closer to Yongzhou in terms of customs, but in terms of products, because it is south of the Qinling Mountains, it is biased towards Yizhou. If you have time, you should not miss it. ”
After a pause, he said, "Juanzi, what the chief gave you, you can take it." ”
Sister-in-law Juan took the short knife in Sun Yizhen's hand carelessly, and she didn't dare to pull out the knife to take a look, but just blindly said words of thanks.
Chen Laoshi said again: "I won't use it to pick up the tableware later, I'll send it back to you in the evening." "The words are naturally meant to be a send-off.
Sister-in-law Juan continued to thank her, carefully held the short knife in her arms, and turned around and walked out of the yard. He also greeted everyone again and again, don't miss the bonfire party in the evening.
