When Huo Shaoheng saw Gu Nianzhi's message, it was already an hour later.
He had just come out of the conference room and turned on his phone when he saw the message.
He was slightly taken aback and subconsciously called Gu Nianzhi.
"Nianzhi, why do you ask?" Wearing a Bluetooth headset, he walked unhurriedly down the long corridor.
His leather boots made a rustling sound on the floor, echoing in the corridor.
Gu Nianzhi had already returned to Huo Shaoheng's official residence.
After taking a shower, she sat on the windowsill of the bay window with her long hair draped over her shoulders. She looked at the colorful flowers in the small garden downstairs and muttered to Huo Shaoheng, "Major General Huo, I just came back from Ms. Song's place and heard something from her."
Huo Shaoheng stopped in his tracks and asked calmly, "What is it? My uncle's will? "
"That's one thing. There's another thing. Your uncle told your mother that Luo Jialan wasn't your uncle's biological daughter long before he married Luo Xinxue."
Huo Shaoheng was a little surprised. "Did Ms. Song know that Luo Jialan wasn't my uncle's biological daughter many years ago?"
"Yes, Ms. Song didn't tell anyone. How do you think Luo Jialan knew that Ms. Song knew about her background?"
Huo Shaoheng thought for a moment and said, "The most likely possibility is Bai Jinyi."
Gu Nianzhi's eyes widened. "Huh? No way? I've always guessed that it was Luo Xinxue. "
Luo Xinxue had told Luo Jialan the truth about her background after she became sensible. Could it be that she had also told Luo Jialan that Song Jinning knew about it?
Huo Shaoheng said calmly, "… Luo Xinxue didn't have the chance to know about it. She didn't know Ms. Song at all before she married my uncle. "
"Then how could it be Bai Jinyi?" Gu Nianzhi was surprised. "Bai Jinyi didn't say a word during the last court trial!"
"I think Bai Jinyi didn't know that this matter was so important that Luo Jialan wanted to kill her." Huo Shaoheng analyzed calmly. "Judging from the situation between Luo Jialan and Bai Jinyi at the time, the two of them had been friends for a long time. They could be considered best friends despite their age difference."
"Okay, then let's analyze it. First of all, how did Bai Jinyi know about this? Where did she find out? "Gu Nianzhi's interest was piqued. She loved reasoning and reasoning.
Huo Shaoheng smiled. "Is Lawyer Gu here to interrogate me?"
As he spoke, he walked to his office and pushed the door open.
Huo Shaoheng returned to his desk and sat down. He closed the door and said to Gu Nianzhi, "There are two reasons why I think it's Bai Jinyi. First, she and my mother were doing experiments in the same lab. When my uncle talked to my mother, she was the one who had the chance to be the one who had ears. "
In other words, it was very likely that Bai Jinyi had happened to overhear Huo Guanyuan's conversation with Song Jinning.
Gu Nianzhi remembered Song Jinning's description of the scene. It happened outside her lab!
What if Bai Jinyi had been in the lab at the time?
Gu Nianzhi nodded. "That makes sense. What about the second reason?"
"The second reason is, of course, that Bai Jinyi has always had a crush on my uncle, so it's very likely that she's been keeping an eye on my uncle's movements."
"I understand. This means that Bai Jinyi had an objective opportunity and motive to come into contact with this secret. Although it's a deduction, it's very close to the truth. " Gu Nianzhi twirled her hair with her fingers and nodded approvingly. "And later, Bai Jinyi and Luo Jialan became friends, so she had more opportunities to talk about this matter."
Huo Shaoheng smiled. "Lawyer Gu is still the best. You immediately summarized it."
"You're not allowed to laugh at me." Gu Nianzhi sat up straight and joked with a smile. "If you laugh at me again, I'll ignore you."
Huo Shaoheng chuckled and ignored her coquettishness. He continued, "Although I have two reasons to prove that Bai Jinyi is the most likely third party to know about this matter, I don't know why she didn't take advantage of this and push the blame onto Luo Jialan in Bai Jinyi's case?"
"I think she was also fooled by Luo Jialan." Gu Nianzhi shrugged. "Luo Jialan will definitely tell Bai Jinyi that she knew about this a long time ago. Her mother didn't hide it from her since she was young."
"If that's the case, Bai Jinyi won't think this news is so explosive, and she won't reveal the whole thing in court. Because she doesn't think that doing so will help her get away with her crime. Instead, she will be looked down upon even more because of her eavesdropping behavior. "
"That might be the only explanation." Huo Shaoheng curled his lips in admiration. "It's closer to the truth than the reason I thought of myself."
"Huo Shaoheng is too kind. I was just saying. "Gu Nianzhi pretended to be reserved and modest.
Huo Shaoheng pursed his lips. He could almost see Gu Nianzhi's big eyes narrowing. She was like a cat being tickled under the sun. He couldn't help but want to hold her in his arms and dote on her …
"Major General Huo, I want to see Bai Jinyi." Gu Nianzhi turned on her phone and checked. "She was sentenced to death a year and a half ago with a two-year reprieve. There's only half a year left until the execution. Will her sentence be commuted to life imprisonment? "
Generally speaking, most of the suspended death sentences would be commuted to life imprisonment in the end. If they were reformed well during this period, they might even be released with a reduced sentence.
Huo Shaoheng said lightly, "If you want to see her, hurry up and see her. Her death sentence was actually suspended for two years. "
Gu Nianzhi could hear the viciousness in Huo Shaoheng's tone.
It seemed that he had made up his mind. Otherwise, Bai Jinyi would have a chance to get out of prison alive.
Gu Nianzhi immediately said, "Then I'll apply to see Bai Jinyi."
Bai Jinyi was on death row. Although her sentence was suspended for two years, she was still being held in solitary confinement.
Gu Nianzhi was also a little curious.
Bai Jinyi's brother, Bai Jiancheng, was the new prime minister.
Didn't he think of a way to get Bai Jinyi out of prison as soon as possible?
However, Huo Shaoheng's attitude just now made it clear that he refused to see Bai Jinyi have any chance of commuting her sentence.
He wanted her to be executed. Even if her sentence was suspended for two years, it would only be a suspension. He wanted her to die without delay.
Gu Nianzhi immediately found the prison where Bai Jinyi was being held and applied for a visit.
Bai Jinyi was the key to her current case.
Through Bai Jinyi, she could connect Luo Jialan and Song Jinning.
Bai Jinyi could prove that Song Jinning had long known about Luo Jialan's true background.
At the same time, Bai Jinyi could also prove that she had told Luo Jialan about it. Coupled with Huo Guanyuan's missing will, all of this together could prove that Luo Jialan really had a motive to kill.
..
"Hello? Is this Green City Women's Prison? I'd like to apply to see Ms. Bai Jinyi there. "Gu Nianzhi politely called Green City Women's Prison.
The women prisoners here were all felons.
The prison staff politely asked Gu Nianzhi to show her identification. After checking her name, the staff said regretfully, "I'm sorry, you're not on the visitation list. If you want to come to our Green City Women's Prison, you can call Bai Jinyi first and get her verbal permission to come in. "
"Then may I ask what Bai Jinyi's phone number is?" Gu Nianzhi asked with a smile, "She's a felon. Does she have a phone and internet in her room?"
"Of course not." Cold sweat broke out on the man's forehead. As he spoke, he called Bai Jinyi over and asked her to answer the phone.
