Chapter 799: Chapter 803: Don’t Let Any of Them Go!
Mi Sheng sobbed a few times, then glanced at Qiao Zui, “The instructor’s name is Qiao Zui, and Sister Yiyi is his biological older sister.”
The police asked many more detailed questions.
After the questioning, the lead officer arranged for some police to escort them.
Upon returning to the Qiao Family home, the family doctor was already on standby.
Qiao Zui was carried into the bedroom to have his wounds treated.
Fortunately, the bullet had only grazed Qiao Zui’s arm; there was quite a bit of blood loss, but the injury was not very severe.
After the police coroner conducted a simple autopsy on Qiao Yi’s body, it was brought back.
The butler, while crying, directed people to prepare for Qiao Yi’s funeral.
Gu Junzhu sat on the sofa in the living room, statuesque for a very, very long time, his eyes not moving an inch.
Ye Xingbei handed the two children over to Duan Yanbing, asking him to take the kids upstairs to rest, and then she sat down beside Gu Junzhu.
She took Gu Junzhu’s hand.
In the past, the hand that Gu Junzhu would place on her always felt burning hot.
But now, his entire palm was as cold as a chunk of ice.
Ye Xingbei’s heart clenched in pain; she enveloped Gu Junzhu’s icy hands within her own and whispered, “I know you’re in great pain, and so am I, but the dead are gone, and no matter how sad you are, Yiyi can’t come back. What’s urgent now is to catch the murderer; only by capturing the perpetrator can we prevent a second person from leaving us. Gu Junzhu, do you agree with me?”
Gu Junzhu’s eyes moved slightly as he looked down at her.
His image reflected in her eyes, filled with immense heartache and worry.
He took a deep breath slowly, closed his eyes, and after a moment, opened them again, his gaze no longer wooden and rigid like before.
He withdrew his hand from Ye Xingbei’s palm and squeezed her arm, “Don’t worry, I’m fine.”
Ye Xingbei nodded, “Yes, I know.”
Though she said so, he didn’t seem fine at all.
Regardless, Ye Xingbei hoped that the desire to avenge Qiao Yi by capturing the murderer could distract him, at least temporarily taking his mind off the pain of Qiao Yi’s death.
Gu Junzhu took several deep breaths, trying hard to calm his emotions.
He closed his eyes again, and after a moment, he opened them, took out his phone, and called Gu Qi, “Xiao Seventh, check who the Fang Family has been in contact with these last two days. Focus on Fang Mingzhu, then Fang Yixian. Investigate their whereabouts and the records on their phones, computers, letters; look into every detail thoroughly. If there’s nothing odd about those two, investigate their confidants—bodyguards, servants, housekeepers—don’t spare anyone!”
Finding a murderer hidden away, whether a ghost or a person, in the vast expanse of Feng City was exceedingly difficult.
Starting the search from the members of the Fang Family was more likely to yield clues.
Gu Qi took the order seriously and hung up the phone.
Ye Xingbei gripped his hand, “You suspect Fang Mingzhu and Fang Yixian? Because the target of the murderer was Fang Yao?”
The first bullet was aimed at Fang Yao; it was only because Qiao Zui noticed something and pushed him aside.
The second bullet might have been aimed at Fang Yao too, but as Qiao Zui was injured and Qiao Yi, worried about her brother, rushed towards him heedlessly, she happened to shield Fang Yao and was hit by the second bullet.
Gu Junzhu nodded without speaking.
Ye Xingbei frowned and spoke softly, “But if Fang Mingzhu hired a killer, shouldn’t she hate Mi Sheng the most? She loved Xiao Qiao, and Mi Sheng took Xiao Qiao away, that’s why she hated Mi Sheng. However, she seemed to have a good relationship with Fang Yao before, she had no reason to hire someone to kill Fang Yao.”
