Chapter 21: In Search of Ganle
Wei Chiran felt strange, but a little frightened, and hurriedly went to turn on the light in the room, and after turning on the light, he looked at it and found that his parents were painted with strange symbols all over his body, and they were bleeding, and they looked very terrifying.
The lieutenant screamed in fright, he cowered in the corner and screamed, and then fainted not long after.
Wei Chiran recalled: "Probably because of the fright, but also because of the lack of oxygen caused by the shouting, I fainted, and when I woke up, the police had already arrived, and I slept in the living room, accompanied by my father's lawyer." ”
Fang Xunyi immediately asked, "What is your father's lawyer's name?" ”
Wei Chiran replied: "Gan Le, I call him Uncle Gan, he has a very good relationship with my father, he often comes to my house to play, he is a descendant of the first generation of Chinese in Chinatown, even we go through immigration procedures, and even buy a house, etc., he is responsible for it." ”
Fang Xunyi asked, "Are you in touch now?" ”
Wei Chiran shook his head: "It's strange to say, after my parents died, he went through the adoption procedures for me and handed me over to Liu Chang, but after Liu Chang's death, when Wang Lun adopted me, we broke off contact, and he never came to see me again." ”
Fang Xun recalled: "Does Liu Chang have a wife? ”
Wei Chiran said: "Yes, my name is Zhang Fengfei, but I rarely see my adoptive mother." ”
Fang Xunyi wondered: "Why? ”
Wei Chiran recalled carefully: "When I was adopted, Zhang Fengfei was there, and he was also very gentle and very good to me, but after I went to Liu Chang's house, Zhang Fengfei rarely appeared, came back once a week, took me to play, cooked food for me, and was very good to me, not because he hated me and didn't go home, there should be other reasons." ”
Fang Xunyi asked again: "So during this time, has Gan Le come to see you?" ”
"Of course." Wei Chi nodded and said, "Gan Le often comes to see me, almost once a week. ”
Fang Xunyi was puzzled: "Zhang Fengfei comes back to see you once a week, and Gan Le also comes once a week, how can it be so coincidental?" ”
Wei Chiran said: "Yes, how can it be so coincidental, by the way, there is another thing, after my parents bought this house, the basement was sealed, I was not allowed to go, and the door was locked, I always felt that there were monsters there, I once got up in the middle of the night to look for water to drink, and found that there was a tall black shadow standing at the door of the basement, like a person, but the person was not so tall, his head was against the ceiling, and he was forced to tilt his head to one side, it was very terrifying, but my parents heard me screaming downstairs, and after turning on the light, the black shadow disappeared again, I don't know if it's my hallucination. ”
Fang Xunyi raised his hand and looked at his watch: "It's still too late, let's go back to the police station to check Gan Le's information in the system, find his address, and then ask him, he is a lawyer, and he should know best what happened back then." ”
The two returned to the police station and found Gan Le's information in the system, which showed that Gan Le lived in an apartment in the Northeast District.
The police system in Chinatown is relatively advanced, whether you are renting a house or buying a house, the landlord, the house sales company or the individual must enter your information into the system, and the system will update your address at the same time.
Of course, there are exceptions, and there are people who have done tricks, but if they are discovered, landlords, home sales companies, and individuals can all be severely punished.
Wei Chiran and Fang Xunyi drove to the apartment at the address in the Northeast District, and along the way, they were both puzzled, how could a barrister like Gan Le live in an apartment? It stands to reason that with his status and income, he can live in the city center.
When they came to that apartment, the two were dumbfounded, this apartment is too old, it belongs to the apartment built earlier in the Northeast District, this kind of apartment is generally not bought, it is rented, why does Gan Le live here?
According to the address, the two went up to the 10th floor, looking for room 10, but they didn't expect to see a middle-aged woman standing at the door as soon as they walked over, bowing her head and pulling out the key to open the door.
Wei Chi looked at the woman's side, hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Mom? ”
The woman was startled, the key in her hand fell directly to the ground, and then she looked at Wei Chiran in a daze.
The reason why Wei Chiran wants to call this woman's mother is because she is Liu Chang's wife, Wei Chiran's first adoptive mother Zhang Fengfei.
Zhang Fengfei looked at Wei Chiran suspiciously, and after looking at it for a long time, he asked tentatively: "Xiao Ran?" ”
Wei Chiran stepped forward and hugged Zhang Fengfei: "Mom! ”
Zhang Fengfei hugged Wei Chi Ran for a while, looked at him carefully and smiled: "Xiao Ran, have you grown so big?" ”
Saying that, Zhang Fengfei looked guilty again: "Xiao Ran, my mother is sorry for you, I shouldn't have left you alone at that time." ”
Wei Chiran hurriedly said: "Mom, it's too hard for you to take me with a woman, I can understand, by the way, why are you here?" Are you here for Uncle Gan? ”
Zhang Fengfei was silent, leaned over and picked up the key to open the door, and then said, "Come in." ”
Why does Zhang Fengfei have the key to Gan Lejia? With this doubt, Wei Chiran and Fang Xunyi entered the door, and after walking in, the two of them saw the black and white posthumous photo in the living room at first glance, and the posthumous photo was Gan Le.
Wei Chiran couldn't believe his eyes: "Uncle Gan passed away?" ”
Fang Xunyi also wondered, why was it not displayed in the system when Gan Le passed away?
Zhang Fengfei handed Yu Chiran three sticks of incense: "Give your Uncle Gan incense." ”
Wei Chi stepped forward, respectfully incense and kowtowed, and after finishing it, he got up and said, "By the way, Mom, I forgot to introduce you, this is my colleague Fang Xunyi." ”
Fang Xunyi shook Zhang Fengfei's hand: "Hello aunt, may I ask, when did Mr. Gan pass away?" ”
Zhang Fengfei just said, "You guys wait a minute." ”
Zhang Fengfei turned around and went to the kitchen, and soon came out with two cups of tea.
Zhang Fengfei sat down and said, "Xiao Ran, are you here to investigate the case of your parents and adoptive father who were murdered back then?" ”
Wei Chiran said: "Yes, but it's strange, the case is sealed, so I can only ask Uncle Gan, after all, he was my father's lawyer back then." ”
Zhang Fengfei hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Gan Le said, if one day, you come back to me, let me tell you the truth." ”
"The truth?" Wei Chiran was surprised, "What do you mean?" ”
Zhang Fengfei thought for a while and said, "Where do I start? Let's start with my acquaintance with your Uncle Gan. ”
Wei Chiran suddenly understood something: "Mom, you mean to say that you and my adoptive father are not husband and wife?" ”
Zhang Fengfei nodded and said: "Yes, no, I and your Uncle Gan are husband and wife, but there is a husband and wife, but there is no name of husband and wife, when I came to Chinatown, your Uncle Gan was already considered famous, at that time he was a public interest lawyer, and I, I was smuggled, I am not Chinese, I am Vietnamese." ”
Zhang Fengfei's words made Wei Chiran very surprised, but he also immediately understood why after being adopted by Liu Chang back then, he couldn't see Zhang Fengfei on weekdays, and only on weekends would he see Zhang Fengfei and Gan Le appear one after another.
It turned out that the two of them were husband and wife.
According to Zhang Fengfei, Gan Le was the lawyer assigned to her by the city hall at that time, so the two met, and the lawsuit was eventually won, so Zhang Fengfei obtained the right of residence in Chinatown, but only temporarily, and must pay taxes in Chinatown for ten years and have no criminal record to obtain permanent residency.
Zhang Fengfei and Gan Le also met at that time, and soon after, Wei Chiran came to Chinatown with his parents, and Gan Le also became the lawyer representing Wei Chiran's parents.
Zhang Fengfei said: "I was very curious at the time, I don't know how Gan Le and your parents met, he said that he was introduced when he was traveling, but he didn't let me meet you, which made me very dissatisfied, after all, he didn't propose marriage at that time, I was scared in my heart, I think he didn't want to marry me?" But Ganle just found other excuses to prevaricate the past, but he was very good to me, I thought, if you don't get married, you won't get married, it's okay, it's okay to live like this for the rest of your life, but it didn't take long for your parents to be killed......"
During the time when Wei Chiran's parents were killed, Gan Le seemed very anxious, either going out or going home to lock himself in his room and not come out, and he didn't know what he was doing.
After the police came to a conclusion on the case of Wei Chiran's parents, Gan Le was ready to find someone to adopt Wei Chiran, and at this time Zhang Fengfei proposed, otherwise they would adopt him, since they are so familiar, this is also what should be done.
But Gan Le refused, and on the third day after refusing, he made a more excessive request to Zhang Fengfei, that is, he hoped that Zhang Fengfei would have a fake marriage with a person named Liu Chang, so that Liu Chang could adopt Wei Chiran.
Faced with this unreasonable and excessive request, Zhang Fengfei immediately refused and quarreled with Gan Le.
After listening to this, Wei Chiran asked, "Why?" Didn't Uncle Gan tell you why? ”
Fang Xunyi touched his pocket, he put the recorder inside, he had to record all the conversations, and then go back and analyze them.
Zhang Fengfei shook his head and said: "He didn't explain, in the face of my unhappiness and reprimand, he just remained silent, and after the silence was an apology, and finally he knelt down to me and begged me to help him with this, saying that it was for you." ”
Wei Chiran asked, "For me?" But for my sake, shouldn't you come forward to adopt it? ”
Zhang Fengfei said: "He also knows that the truth should be like this, but he said that he had a hard time, just like he couldn't marry me, I was angry and disagreed, your Uncle Gan knelt beside my bed, and actually knelt for a night, I thought about it and felt that there must be a problem, so I agreed to him, went to register marriage with Liu Chang, and became his nominal wife." ”
Wei Chi nodded: "No wonder at that time, you only appeared once a week, so it was." ”
Fang Xunyi asked: "Aunt, may I ask, when Wei Chiran's parents were killed, did Uncle Mr. Gan say anything noteworthy?" ”
Zhang Fengfei shook his head and said, "No, he was just very sad and distressed, but he didn't tell me anything." ”
Fang Xunyi asked again: "What about when Liu Chang was killed?" ”
Zhang Fengfei said: "When Liu Chang was killed, his whole person changed, he became nervous, sometimes I heard him talk to himself that he couldn't escape in the end, during that time, he looked at the map every day, checked information everywhere, and said that he would take me out of the Chinese town, but as for where to go, he didn't make a decision, and later proposed to separate from me." ”
Wei Chiran frowned: "Separation? Why? ”
