Chapter 11

"Alarmist, nonsense! - This journalist and detective, can you take responsibility for what you said? ”
Zhou Tianzhen pretended to be calm and said.
"I can be held accountable for every word I say." Melinda said firmly.
"Everything you say is just your guess, are you sure until you see the facts?"
"Of course."
"I really want to know, where did you get the courage to have such confidence?"
"Want to know?"
"yes, let's hear it."
"It's okay to say yes, what do you want me to say?"
"Let's just talk about our daughter Zhou Qian, why does she have the idea of killing our parents."
"Do you want to know why I know?"
"I wonder how you would know she had such thoughts."
"This matter starts with Minghuang Bridge......
Melinda roughly told herself and Luo Feng about going along the river to find the paper boat that Zhou Qian put into the water.
After hearing this, Zhou Tianzhen's face was even more unsightly.
Song Xiaowen also lowered her head, not daring to look at people, as if she was afraid that others would see through her heart at this time.
Melinda said to Zhou Tianzhen: "To be honest, if I hadn't seen the words written on the paper with my own eyes, I really couldn't believe that such a young child would have that terrible thought." ”
"Who would have thought? - Who would have thought? ”
Zhou Tianzhen whispered to himself.
"From this point of view, it shows how disappointed Zhou Qian, a little girl, is in your family, right?"
"If she had really put her ideas into action, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago...... In this unseemly home, she is the only one who will not be guarded. ”
"You're defenseless against her, not just because she's a child, but because she's insignificant in this family, right?"
Zhou Tianzhen did not answer.
He asked a question: "How did you know that during that period of time, I suddenly disappeared for more than a month?" ”
"It was your mother who 'told' me."
excavated the secret of Mrs. Zou's heart in the dream, and I don't know if it was if she told herself a secret that he didn't want others to know.
However, since I heard it from Mrs. Zou, it's not an exaggeration to say that she told herself, right?
"How would she know that I had disappeared for more than a month during that time?"
"Naturally, Zhou Qian told her."
"At that time, Zhou Qian was still young, and she had already moved out of our family......"
"Therefore, there is no impermeable wall in this world, and this wind is permeable in your attitude towards Zhou Qian."
Zhou Tianzhen understood the meaning of Melinda's words, and immediately realized that if there was anything possible to leak his secret, it was the only way.
What I didn't expect was that Melinda actually grabbed his little tail.
However, what about knowing that he disappeared for more than a month during that time?
"We live in this world, no matter where we are, we can do something deviant, and suddenly disappear at a certain time. This journalist and detective, what can you see wrong from this? ”
"Not really. So far, what I know is limited. ”
"If you can't, why would you make such a long-standing connection to the death of my daughter?"
"Isn't there any connection between them?"
"What's the connection?"
"That's a question, I think you're most likely to know the answer."
“……”
"Of course, it's not just you, but also your wife Song Xiaowen. During that period of time, she was depressed for nearly two months, and then her attitude towards Zhou Qian also changed...... I think something must have happened during that time, and that thing that happened was a secret that you didn't dare to tell easily, no matter how much trouble you had with each other. ”
“……”
Zhou Tianzhen's face became even more ugly.
Song Xiaowen, who was sitting next to him, her face was as white as paper, and her whole body was shaking.
They are just ordinary people, who can hide things, but they can't hide too deeply.
Their body "language" is impossible to hide from Luo Feng and Melinda's eyes.
Judging by their performance, something did happen during that period of time that they will all remember unforgettable.
As for what it is, now they are certainly afraid to say it.
No matter how hard they ask, as long as they can't find any breakthrough, they will inevitably bite their teeth and never say anything.
So, there's no point in staying here any longer.
Melinda stood up and motioned for Luo Feng to stand up.
"Thank you for your hospitality, it's time for us to go......"
Zhou Tianzhen and Song Xiaowen also wanted to stand up, but their legs didn't seem to obey and they didn't really stand up.
"We'll come back when we have time, and hopefully the next time we meet, we'll be honest with each other."
With that, Melinda walked to the door first.
Luo Feng said a few more polite words and left.
Only the husband and wife, sitting on the sofa, were terrified.

Leaving Zhou Tianzhen and Song Xiaowen's home, the two got into the car.
Luo Feng drove the car, and Melinda sat in the passenger seat.
"Melinda, you shouldn't shake things out."
"What do you mean?"
"The little girl wrote the secrets on the paper boat, and told them about the past."
"Why shouldn't you say it?"
"It is useless to say more until solid evidence is found."
"But if we don't say it, we really don't know what the connection will be."
"Now you know?"
"Of course."
"How so?"
"Don't you see their unusual reaction? From this point of view, something unspeakable must have happened in the first place. ”
"Does it have anything to do with the little girl's death?"
"Maybe not, but ...... Secretly, I feel that this matter is likely to involve another case. ”
Luo Feng looked at Melinda in surprise and asked, "How can you feel this way?" ”
"I don't know. Maybe the couple's reaction was so strong that it made me feel like one of them had committed some kind of crime back then. ”
"What do you mean......"
"That's just conjecture, it can't be true. Without facts to back it up, we'd better not think about it. ”
said so, but it was impossible for Luo Feng not to think about it.
He also had to convince himself that Melinda's guess was most likely correct.
——A secret that has been hidden for so many years is naturally very likely to touch the bottom line of human nature and morality and the red line set by the law.
Speaking of this, Melinda suddenly asked, "I asked you to investigate, how is the investigation?" ”
"Investigate Guo Chengyi's whereabouts, right?"
"Well, that's it."
"There's nothing going on yet."
"How can it be so slow?"
"Because the figure is gone, there is no sign of activity now."
"What do you mean?"
"In other words, through various investigations, there is no evidence that he is still active in this society."
“……”
"We traced his identity and occupation and found only one thing, he doesn't seem to have any occupation now, and only occasionally uses his ID card to open rooms in certain hotels."
"Can't find his bio?"
"Not at all."
"What train tickets or tickets have you bought? Now, many ways to travel, to buy tickets, are also real-name authentication. ”
"Nope."
"So in which hotels did he open a room?"
"Concentrated in this city where we live, S City."
Melinda suddenly thought of something, "Guo Chengyi eloped with Song Xiaowen back then, did he leave S City?" ”
"According to our investigation, I left, and I went to City D."
"Is Guo Chengyi from S City?"
"It's not."
"Does he have any work in S City?"
"Nope."
"Then it's strange, why would such a person who doesn't have much connection with S City open a house in S City, and he has never left S City?"
"There seems to be only one connection between him and S City, that is, Song Xiaowen, back then, they were a pair of lovers, and we also know that they also eloped."
However, Song Xiaowen dumped him again and returned to Zhou Tianzhen's house.
"But there's no guarantee they haven't been in touch."
"That's right. This clue cannot be missed. ”
"I sent someone to investigate according to this clue to track down Guo Chengyi."
"Any news?"
"Not yet."
"Then continue to investigate, find Guo Chengyi, maybe some problems can be solved."
"Okay."
"I have a feeling ......"
"What does it feel?"
"It is very likely that Guo Chengyi has been hiding in a place where Zhou Tianzhen and Song Xiaowen can't see, following them."
"Why would he do that?"
"I don't know, but, for sure, it must be related to Song Xiaowen."
"If he really did that, then he's been following them for years...... For what purpose would he do this? ”
"Perhaps, I was wrong about this feeling. There really was no reason for him to follow them for so long for a certain purpose. ”
"By the way, our thinking is only on Zhou Tianzhen's family, and we don't seem to have thought about another issue."
"What's the problem?"
"Does Guo Chengyi know that Zhou Qian is his biological daughter?"
Melinda's body shook when she heard this.
Yes, does Guo Chengyi know that Zhou Qian is his biological daughter?
If he knew, what would he do?
If that's what he's been tracking them for, what will he do?

The car turned a few corners and stopped in an open space next to the Minghuang Bridge.
After getting out of the car, Luo Feng and Melinda walked to the Minghuang Bridge.
"Melinda, why are you here?"
"I'd love to know what happened here that night."
"Do you think something happened here that night that caused the little girl to fall into the river and drown?"
"Hmm."
"What will happen?"
"I don't know yet, but we can find clues from Mrs. Zou."
"Will she tell us?"
"No, it won't."
"Since you won't, how can you find it from her?"
"The reason why she won't tell us is because she knows how big the secret is, maybe the reason why she turned herself in is to keep that secret."
"I don't understand ......"
"That night, here, something must have happened, I'm sure that the people who appeared on the Minghuang Bridge that night were not only Mrs. Zou and Zhou Qian, but also others."
"What you are saying is that it is very likely that there are also Zhou Tianzhen and Song Xiaowen?"
"It's just my guess."
"If they're all on this bridge, there's going to be some kind of conflict, isn't it?"
"If you think about it, it's very possible."
"I will send someone to investigate where Zhou Tianzhen and Song Xiaowen really appeared that night."
"You don't think what they're saying in their home is true either?"
"I have reason not to trust them."
"What reason?"
"When they talk about their whereabouts that night, it seems natural, nothing out of the ordinary, but because they are so natural, it always feels like they were deliberately choreographed in advance."
"That is, they deliberately lied."
"I think it should be."
"If that's the case, I suddenly have a guess?"
"What is it?"
"Why are they lying to us? Since they deliberately lied, it is enough from this point to show that they deliberately concealed the events of that night. ”
Luo Feng's eyes suddenly lit up, "Yes, why didn't I think of it." Since they were deliberately concealing what happened that night, it means that something must have happened that night. ”
"Or is it likely on this bridge?"
"Yes."
"It has nothing to do with the little girl's death?"
"It's also very likely."
Melinda smiled, "I can't solve the problem, I can finally stretch my frowning brow a little." ”
"But we don't have any proof."
"yes, that's just our guess, we don't have any evidence yet."
"How do you find evidence?"
"Didn't you already send someone to investigate the whereabouts of Zhou Tianzhen and Song Xiaowen that night? As long as you can't find their whereabouts, that is, you are sure that they are lying, you will have a reward. ”
"This can only prove that they are lying, and it cannot be judged as evidence."
"I'm going to start the other way too."
"Which one?"
"Mrs. Zou."
“……”
"Since she was sending her granddaughter home that night, and when she passed by this Minghuang Bridge, she met them, and that kind of thing happened that made her cry, it is impossible for her to forget every detail of that night."
"What do you want to do?"
"Enter her dreams and discover the secrets of her heart."
"Now that she has turned herself in, it is impossible for her to tell the secret to others."
"I know, though, I'm sure someone will let her tell us her secret."
"Who is it?"
Melinda pursed her lips and didn't say anything.
Of course, she couldn't tell Luo Feng that that person was Su Che.
Suche has unfortunately died, this is something that everyone knows.
There weren't many people who knew that he was still alive, and she didn't want to put Su Che to a real death because she had divulged the secret.
Some are dead, and he is still alive...... This is Sucher's current situation.
Although Luo Feng was also a person close to Su Che, she still couldn't tell him.
The fewer people who know about Su Che's affairs, the more likely he is to live, otherwise...... No one can guarantee that the unforeseen "if" will not appear.
