Chapter 16: Perfunctory
Fang Yinyin was stunned for a moment, and turned to look at Gu Yimo, didn't he say that the old lady didn't know the news of her son's death?
When the old lady heard Gu Yimo's words, she was also obviously stunned, her eyes flickered, and her teeth leaked a little and said:
"I don't understand what you're saying. Why are you here again? Didn't I tell you not to come? Let's go. "As he spoke, he was about to enter the house.
Gu Yimo blocked again, looked into the old lady's eyes, and said in a low voice: "Old man, you should have heard the name of Shangguan Yi, right?" He and your son Tian Zhuangzhuang used to be high school classmates and very good friends. ”
The old lady's panicked eyes were full of surprise, she looked at Gu Yimo's face, looked at it carefully, and asked, "Then you are... His son? "The person in front of him looks a little similar to Shangguan Yi.
Hearing that the old lady really knew Shangguan Yi, Gu Yimo's eyes were also a little relaxed, and he replied, "Old man, can I go in and sit?" ”
The old lady looked at his face again, looked at Fang Yinyin beside her again, and then nodded: "Then come in." ”
The old lady opened the door, and Fang Yinyin followed behind Gu Yimo, and walked in with a question mark on her head.
The house was fairly clean, Gu Yimo looked around and found that there was not a single photo of the entire house. At the invitation of the old lady, Gu Yimo sat down on the stool next to the table. Fang Yinyin also sat next to him.
The old lady looked at Gu Yimo, and said with kindness in her eyes: "If it weren't for the fact that you look a little similar to your father, I haven't seen you for so many years, I wouldn't be sure that you are the child of Xiao Shangguan, you have grown up so big, you are all good, right?" ”
Gu Yimo pondered the old lady's words and said tentatively: "Old man, five years ago, your son, my mother and my sister died in the same car accident. I was in the car at the time. I lay in the hospital for a long time before I could get my life back. ”
When the old lady heard this, her eyes immediately widened: "No, it's impossible!" My son is..."
"It's hired, isn't it? Actually, you know that, right? Gu Yimo looked at the old lady's frightened eyes with a calm face.
"I don't know anything!" The old lady's eyes were a little flustered, and she looked at Gu Yimo vigilantly: "Who are you?" Why are you coming to bully me an old woman? ”
Fang Yinyin heard what they were talking and looked at the two people in shock. She didn't know why, but she had a trace of sympathy for the old lady in her heart.
Gu Yimo clenched his fists and exhaled a long breath, suppressing the anger in his heart. Looking at the old lady again:
"Old man, it's been so long, no matter whether Tian Zhuangzhuang is hired or unexpected. The others are gone, and I can stop pursuing them. But with my mother's death, I can't just ignore it. ”
The old lady's mood calmed down a little, and she looked at Gu Yimo with tears in her eyes: "Child, we are sorry for you." Da Zhuang never told me about these things. It's just that my daughter-in-law, who has not passed through the door, gave me some money before leaving, saying that the money was exchanged for Da Zhuang's life. ”
"Your daughter-in-law? Where is she from and where is she now? Can you reach her? Gu Yimo asked a little eagerly. Team Chen said that Tian Zhuangzhuang's girlfriend was a key person, and he had to ask clearly.
The old lady shook her head a little panicked: "I don't know, Da Zhuang was released from prison for less than half a year, and she left in a car accident, she only came twice, the first time was Da Zhuang brought her back, saying that the two of them were going to get married, and let me prepare a wedding for them." ”
"And what about the second time?" Gu Yimo asked again.
The old lady fell into tears and choked up: "Not long after, my daughter-in-law came alone and sent me some money, telling me that my son... Woo woo... Let's go.
She let me... Don't talk to anyone. No matter who asked, they said that my son went to work in other places and didn't come home. ”
Gu Yimo looked at the old lady suspiciously: "Then didn't you ask what happened?" That's your son's life! ”
The old lady wiped away her tears and sobbed: "The daughter-in-law said that the car accident was the responsibility of Da Zhuang, and the other party gave money without knowing the actual situation.
The daughter-in-law was afraid that they would find evidence in the future and re-investigate the accident. So, let me say that my son is still alive, so that even if they check it, they can't determine whether the person at the scene of the car accident is my son. There is no way to find out. ”
The old lady cried even more fiercely: "My only son is gone, and my wife is gone." If I didn't have that money, how would I live my life?
So I did what my daughter-in-law said. But kid, I didn't know that it was your family who had a car accident with Da Zhuang.
If I had known it was yours, I wouldn't have asked for the money. Your father was kind to us, when Da Zhuang was sentenced to prison, your father helped us a lot, I remember it, child, I'm sorry for making you suffer. ”
Gu Yimo endured the suspicion in his heart and continued to probe tentatively: "Old man, the car your son was driving at that time suddenly caught fire, and someone deliberately set it on fire. So, the death of your son was not a car accident at all.
If you find out the person who set the fire, you will find out who killed my mother. He is also the one who harmed your son. So, you have to be honest with me. ”
The old lady cried and shook her head: "Child, I have already told you everything I know. I don't really know anything else. ”
Fang Yinyin frowned, watching the old lady crying sadly, she was a little unbearable. Looking at Gu Yimo's clenched fists and frowning brows, Fang Yinyin took it back when he came to his mouth.
At this time, it seems that it is not appropriate for her to interject and say anything. Fang Yinyin picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and continued to listen.
Gu Yimo asked again: "Then you should know where your daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door is from, right?" What's her name? How old is it? ”
The old lady reached out and took the tissue handed over by Fang Yinyin and said, "She didn't tell me, I heard her accent should be local." As soon as my son left, she also left, and never came back. ”
Fang Yinyin and Gu Yimo glanced at each other, and she could also hear that the old lady was not telling the truth.
Gu Yimo looked into the old lady's eyes: "Then you should be able to remember her appearance." How tall is she? Can you tell me what she looks like? ”
The old lady shook her head slowly: "I'm old, I can't remember clearly." Kid, don't ask anymore. My son is gone, my daughter-in-law is gone, and my wife is gone.
I'm helpless, and I don't want to care about the past so many years. It's just that we've hurt you, and we're sorry for you, kid. ”
Seeing that the old lady had been crying and had been on guard, Fang Yinyin tugged at the corner of Gu Yimo's clothes and shook her head. Motioned to him, and couldn't ask for any more useful information.
When the two walked out of Tian Zhuangzhuang's house, Gu Yimo's body was floating, thinking about his heart, and accidentally stepped on the stone and stumbled. Fang Yinyin hurriedly supported him.
Gu Yimo thanked him and fell into deep thought again. Fang Yinyin felt his hand clenching his fist trembling, and she stretched out her hands and gently held Gu Yimo's hand in her palm.
Gu Yimo felt the softness coming from his hand, and looked at Fang Yinyin with a melancholy and somewhat sloppy look: "Yinyin, I..."
