Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Indelible Tragedy

Guo Hui looked up, "I just want to know, how did you doubt my identity?" "It can be said that the first person who discovered that you are not Lao Zhang is not the police, but her." Dong Peng turned to Wu Ning and smiled slightly, "Since you want to ask, let her explain it to you." Originally sitting on a chair with his legs folded and listening to the conversation between Dong Peng and Guo Hui, Wu Ning seemed to be in a trance. Seeing that Dong Peng tapped him, he wanted to refuse. After receiving Dong Peng's encouraging gaze, he also clicked. Nodding, he stood up and walked to the table.

Wu Ning sat down in front of Guo Hui and looked at Guo Hui calmly, "Guo Hui, you have to know that even if a person hides everything, what cannot be completely eliminated is emotion. The first thing that makes me feel strange is your attitude. When you first came here, you wanted to drive us away. You were afraid that we would discover your secret, but this made me think. Later, when you mentioned what happened three years ago, you did not avoid it, and your attitude was very natural. Emotionally speaking, anyone who faces a nightmare will have emotional waves, unless the series of things like death, fire, and disfigurement don't have a big impact on you."

"Unexpectedly, my cautiousness caused trouble." Guo Hui laughed at himself. "You have ghosts in your heart, so you are too cautious in everything." Wu Ning still looked at Guo Hui, "You don't have the heart to run it. The hotel is just a cover for your identity, so you naturally hope that there are as few guests as possible. As for the people in the village People say that you became withdrawn after the fire and seldom interacted with people because the disfigured appearance would frighten children, but in fact, you tried to avoid as much contact as possible to be seen."

"Based on this, you think I'm Guo Hui?" "No, even if my guess is correct, it can only prove that you are not Lao Zhang, and I did not think that you are Guo Hui who should have died three years ago. What really made me identify you was the series of things that happened after I discovered Yu Fang .” "I know, it's because I let Fangfang go too many times, right?" Guo Hui's expression showed a bit of bitterness, "I guessed that doing so would attract suspicion, but I still can't watch you go Catch Fangfang, but I turn a blind eye. I can't just watch you catch Fangfang, even at the expense of myself."

"You have indeed helped Yu Fang many times. Obviously she didn't believe that your death three years ago was an accident. Maybe she noticed the difference in the expressions of Liu Huihui, Deng Feng and Sun Gang back then. You designed Liu Huihui and the others to pay for your fall The cliff played a driving role, and they didn't know it, so it's not surprising that some flaws will be exposed when they panic. Or, Yu Fang, like me, has observed the terrain on the cliff, and the probability of slipping and falling is very small. But you can count, But ignore the most fundamental human heart, who would be willing to accept that the person they love disappears in front of them in a blink of an eye, and heaven and man are separated forever?"

When Wu Ning said this, his voice was very low, as if an inexplicable emotion was floating in the air.Cheng Che and Dong Peng, who knew her experiences, naturally found out from these words that Wu Ning had indeed untied a knot in their hearts.At least for her at this moment, there is a kind of sincere nostalgia for her father, a family relationship connected with blood. Wu Ning paused for a moment, seemed to have adjusted her mood, and continued: "For some reason, Yu Fang confirmed that your death was related to several people who traveled with you that time, so she set up a trick and killed those three people. Individual. The only thing left is Lao Zhang who was there at the time. She came to Wu Village to kill Lao Zhang, the last enemy. But when you were pushed off the cliff, we clearly saw Yu Fang who fled. But you have been covering her, which makes me have a little guess about your original identity."

"I didn't think too much at that time. I just thought that if I didn't tell you, you wouldn't be able to convict Fangfang. I knew you were going to arrest Fangfang, so I tried my best to lure her away, but she refused to give up. You guys Not long after I came here, I received a note from her, asking me to meet at the edge of the cliff where my accident happened three years ago. I guess she didn’t know that you were here to investigate the incident. I wanted to inform her, but I couldn’t find it. For her, the only option is to go to the appointment and make another plan."

"You tried to cover up the matter, but you failed." Wu Ning continued, "You really have a lot of heart. If you didn't lure Yu Fang away, maybe we could catch her that day." "I heard you and the police officer say that you want to go to the mountain where the incident happened three years ago, but at the same time, Fangfang also asked me to go there. Before you arrived, I left a note on the rock by the cliff To Fangfang, but because I was afraid that you would arrive early and find out, so I didn’t specify that I was Guo Hui, but only said that I would wait for her on the other side of the cliff. I wanted to explain my identity to Fangfang after she had an appointment, but Fangfang didn’t know He pushed me down while I didn't realize it, so I didn't have time to explain it to her."

"We didn't find the note when we went to the cliff, so it must have been destroyed by Yu Fang." Cheng Che interjected, rubbing his head and analyzing. "Your decision to change the location was unsuccessful because you didn't understand Yu Fang's purpose and actions. Every time Yu Fang made a move, she would follow a nursery rhyme about dolls, and the fourth line of that nursery rhyme was 'Little girl on a tree The bird is chirping, that is to say, this case should be related to the tree." "Tree? Could it be..." Guo Hui seemed to think of something after hearing Wu Ning's words, and asked suddenly, "Is it because of the big tree under the cliff?"

"That's right, it's the big tree that you used as a prop three years ago. It helped you three years ago, but this time it's a pity. It was it that exposed your flaws." Wu Ning's words made everyone present think deeply.All things have more or less two sides. In crime, deception is a double-edged sword. It helps Guo Hui and destroys Guo Hui. This is not an irony, but a preordained law. "When you rolled off the cliff, I noticed that the bandage on your hand was cut off. Although there were bloodstains on your hand, it was a new wound and there was no sign of burn. So far, I have confirmed that your bandage and mask are nothing more than It’s a gimmick to hide your identity. It keeps people away and dare not go deep into it. It was just a suspicion before, but let me confirm that you belong to Guo Hui. It was the time we hunted on the mountain. You heard outside the door that we were going up the mountain to find Yu Fang , I took the first step to report the news, but what makes me strange is that since you found the cave where Yu Fang is hiding, why didn't you take the opportunity to explain to her that you are Guo Hui?"

"Time does not allow. If you want to explain what happened three years ago, you must explain the whole story, but you will come later. I dare not stay longer, but I understand that as long as I show up, Fang who came to get rid of Lao Zhang Fang will definitely be relentless. In order not to delay being discovered, I simply threw a note to her first. I think Fangfang will definitely destroy the note, and even if you find the note, you will not be able to find out who made it. .” "Then, you stopped Yu Fang on the way to escape and wanted to explain?" Cheng Che was the one who spoke this time, and he frowned, but the expression on his baby face always lacked a bit of solemnity, like It was an annoyed child, "Fortunately, I thought you helped us catch Yu Fang." Wu Ning held back his smile, and Luo Zilin, who was sitting next to Cheng Che, also had a dark smile on his face. It seems that no one with a discerning eye would be as dull as Cheng Che, thinking of the best for others, but this is also One of his most endearing qualities. "What I want to know more is, what did you say to Yu Fang at that time? Or, did you give her something?" Wu Ning folded his arms and smiled slightly. Yu Fang, who is full of hatred, cannot believe that you are her lover who has been dead for three years just by a few words from you." "Yes, but there is one thing that I have kept carefully for three years. When I put all my personal belongings on the fugitive's body as a disguise, the only thing I kept because of reluctance is the ring that made love between Fangfang and me. There is one each with her, which is a pair of rings." "Just like that?" Wu Ning raised his eyebrows, "It wouldn't be surprising if Lao Zhang picked it up when you fell off the cliff." "No, when we exchanged rings, there was another vow that only Fangfang and I knew, that is, no matter what happens, no matter how long the road ahead is, we will always be together and never separate. When he stopped her on the small road, he whispered this sentence in her ear." "Never separate..." Wu Ning repeated in a low voice, but for the current situation of Guo Hui and Yu Fang, this vow has become so far away and slightly mocking. Cheng Che also sighed softly: "If you had written this oath on the note to Yu Fang before, I think Yu Fang would know your identity earlier, and there would be no further incidents." Guo Hui looked at Cheng Che in astonishment, with some understanding in his eyes. Unfortunately, life is not like a movie. Nothing can be rewinded. No decision made by anyone is flawless. But it is thousands of miles away. Dong Peng, who had been silent for a long time, finally moved his body and took up the topic, "It can be said that in order to save Yu Fang and the two escaped, you also made a careful plan. We left the policeman Xiao Qiao who cleaned up the mess to report back The news, that the couple who quarreled and led me away, and those who wore masks were caught, and it was confirmed that someone gave them a sum of money to follow. If we hadn't noticed in advance that you were Guo Hui, and make arrangements, I'm afraid your plan will be successful." "But it still failed in the end, didn't it?" Guo Hui smiled wryly. "I still want to ask one last question." Dong Peng paused, his sharp eyes inspecting Guo Hui's face, "Since you still have such deep feelings for Fang, Yu Fang obviously still loves you. When you die, why don't you let her stay by your side?" "This point, I really can't tell. Before the implementation of the fraudulent death, I was not confident whether it would be successful, so I didn't tell her in advance. On the day I planned to cheat the death, I stuffed a note in Fangfang's schoolbag before going up the mountain. I told her all about the plan and my debts, and I left her a message saying, if she doesn’t mind living with me in anonymity, let her wait for me after the end, and I’ll go back to find her. But she wasn’t there Hotel, etc., as I said just now, when I sneaked back to the hotel, she had already left without saying a word, and never came back, so I thought she didn't want to be with me again, so I gave up in disappointment, I don't want to disturb her life anymore." "But you didn't expect that today, three years later, Yu Fang will come back with love for you." "Officer..." Guo Hui suddenly stood up excitedly, pleading with a trembling voice, "I plead guilty, I will be the most cooperative prisoner, but can I ask you one thing? Even if it is my last ask!" Dong Peng sat there without moving, with a calm and steady voice, "Let's talk about it, if it doesn't exceed my duty." "I know I can't see Fangfang anymore, can you ask her when you see her, since she still loves me, why she didn't want to stay three years ago? This matter has troubled me for a long time, I I really want to hear the answer, although I can't ask clearly in person." "Okay, I can promise you this." Hearing Dong Peng's affirmative answer, Guo Hui seemed relieved, and sat back on the chair.But as if all the strength in his body had been drained, despair was written on his frustrated face, and perhaps, there was some reluctance to give up on something. Wu Jing looked at Guo Hui quietly, her gaze changed from long-term observation to faint and imperceptible sympathy and pity.For Guo Hui, what he wants to do most at this time is probably to see Yu Fang again, right?Had he been given another choice, he might not have followed the same path.It's a pity that you only live once, and you can't do it again. No one in the room spoke anymore, and everyone chose to remain silent.The afternoon sunlight poured in through the glass windows, creating ripples in the silence of the room. "That is to say, Yu Fang didn't receive the note from Guo Hui?" Holding a cup of coffee in her hand, Wu Ning sat cross-legged on the floor in front of the bookcase. In her hand was a book written by her father Wu Xiao.When Cheng Che came, Wu Xiaoxiao had already told him in secret that after her sister came back from Wucun Village, she changed her previous style of never touching those books. I flipped through it carefully, this is the last one.Cheng Che understood that the process of investigating this case was also a transformation of Wu Ning's inner feelings.She gradually let go of her resentment towards her father and awakened the family affection deep in her heart.Until Guo Hui confirmed that the fugitive who killed his father was dead, he finally let go of everything and remembered his dead father as a daughter. "Yu Fang was too sad when Guo Hui died, so she was in a trance on the way home and lost her luggage on the train. In other words, she didn't even know there was a note." "It's a coincidence, but it's also a decision of fate, isn't it?" Wu Ning sighed a little, as if sighing at Guo Hui and Yu Fang who passed by, "Guo Hui heard that he was thinking about it. What kind of expression did you have when you answered the long answer?" "What else? It's like waiting at the station for a train that will never come. No matter how persistent and affectionate he is, there will be no intersection between him and Yu Fang." "I didn't expect you to say some philosophical words occasionally." Wu Ning curled his lips, "Then how could Yu Fang think that Liu Huihui and others were related to Guo Hui's death?" "Yu Fang confessed that after she approached Liu Huihui, she was not sure at first, and then she secretly heard Liu Huihui on the phone very nervously, saying that Guo Hui's girlfriend had found her, and she regretted that she should not have forced him on the spur of the moment. If things at that time were likely to be exposed, she finally confirmed that it was Liu Huihui, Deng Feng and Sun Gang who pushed Guo Hui off the cliff and fell to his death." "It's a pity that Liu Huihui and others died, and they never thought that they were just a pawn in Guo Hui's plan. They left this world with deep regret." "The team leader said, it's because they have greed in their hearts, otherwise they wouldn't be used by Guo Hui." "Officer Dong is right. He always sees things sharply. I have to admit that Officer Dong is a good policeman." "What about me?" Hearing Wu Ning's rare affirmation of Dong Peng, Cheng Che hastily blinked his bright eyes and asked expectantly. "As for you..." Wu Ning drew the end of the long sentence, and stopped talking in a tantalizing manner. Instead, he stood up and put the book back in the bookcase, then turned his head and smiled at Cheng Che, "I'm afraid I have to practice for a few hundred more. year." "What?! I obviously..." Cheng Che was interrupted by the doorbell before he could finish speaking.Cheng Che stopped talking and looked at his watch, curled his lips slightly sourly and said, "It seems that someone with a bad taste came off work to report for dinner again." "You still have the right to say Brother Shang? What I'm more concerned about is how long are you going to eat here?" Wu Ning stood up while talking, and walked towards the door. Outside the door, apart from Shang Yunxuan, there was also a person that Wu Ning and Cheng Che couldn't expect. "Group, group leader? Why are you here?" Cheng Che's startled reaction seemed to have been expected by Dong Peng.Dong Peng smiled slightly, and his rare gentle smile softened the serious lines, making him look a lot more cordial. "I heard that some people come here to report every three days, and I'm also curious to try Wu Ning's craftsmanship. It can attract you so much." "Or, it's not the food that is attractive." Shang Yunxuan interjected without haste. Cheng Che twitched the corner of his mouth, and turned his head to face Shang Yunxuan's playful smile. Cheng Che wished he could punch this handsome but hateful smile away.Cheng Che knew that Shang Yunxuan's invitation to Dong Peng must be intentional, because it is his greatest pleasure to punish people, and because he didn't go to Chengwu Village, he has been complaining unfairly recently, this time he just took the opportunity to make use of it. "I'm not the only one who comes to eat every day..." Cheng Che muttered, but in front of Dong Peng, he didn't dare to express his complaint too clearly. "What did you say?" Dong Peng coughed lightly and asked back. "No, no..." Cheng Che chose to deny it spinelessly. Dong Peng turned to Wu Ning, who had been standing silently listening to their conversation, and asked, "Do you welcome me to join you?" "Of course, it's just an extra pair of chopsticks. It's just a simple home-cooked dish. Don't worry about the bad taste, Officer Dong." After Wu Ning finished speaking, he stepped aside and let a few people outside the door come in.And Cheng Che was still staring at Shang Yunxuan reluctantly.Shang Yunxuan walked past him with a smile, stretched out his long arms, hooked Cheng Che's shoulder affectionately, and said in a volume that everyone present could hear clearly, "Don't be angry!" , Xiao Cheche, in order to show my sincerity in apologizing, I can help you contact a college classmate with whom I have a good relationship, he is now a famous psychiatrist, and he will definitely help you with your problem of being afraid of women." Wu Ning suppressed his smile and looked at Cheng Cheqing's face that turned pale.After returning from Wucun, Cheng Che had to bite the bullet and tell the truth when Dong Peng questioned him because he had exposed his true colors in front of Dong Peng.Although Dong Peng was not a good person, this matter was heard by other people for some reason, and it quickly spread throughout the Public Security Bureau.Fortunately, most people treated this matter with tolerance and understanding. Occasionally, when they saw Cheng Che, they only showed a little sympathy.Only people like Shang Yunxuan would blatantly make a joke out of it. "You, you..." Cheng Che naturally couldn't speak well of Shang Yunxuan, so he stuttered and didn't know where to refute. "To be honest, Xiao Che, I also think that Yunxuan may be able to help you." Dong Peng's face was still serious, but what he said made Cheng Che dumbfounded. Wu Ning closed the door, and a series of laughter came out from the door. Perhaps there will always be sin, there will be misunderstanding, there will be hurt.There is a monster named "Secret" dormant somewhere in everyone's heart, and it depends on whether you can control it rationally.If you can't control it, it will be like hitting a rock in the wind and waves, and your feet will be deep in the mud; if you can control it, it will be a clear sky after the storm.
