"Come on!" The old man stretched out his hands, waiting to be handcuffed. "I'll go with you! After so many years, I thought you wouldn't come back! "
"You …" The young man, Xiao Ming, realized something and looked at Zhao Yu and Ding Lan in surprise. "Are they police officers? Dad, what happened? "
"It doesn't matter. It's all in the past!" The old man said to Xiao Ming. "Take care of the supermarket while I'm away. If I don't come back, the supermarket will be yours!"
"Don't come back …" Xiao Ming was stunned. "No … No way! Is there any misunderstanding here? "
"Whether or not there's a misunderstanding, you'll know once you speak!" Zhao Yu pointed at the supermarket door and said to Xiao Ming, "If you want to know, close the door!"
Zhao Yu's meaning was obvious. He wanted the old man to tell him the truth right now.
"This …" The old man was a little surprised, but he still waved at Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming immediately went to the door and hung up the closed door sign.
"Mr. Zhang," Zhao Yu turned to the old man and said, "We've been looking for you for a long time. I can't wait to know the truth, so please tell me here!"
"Sigh!" The old man sighed heavily.
"Mr. Zhang …" Xiao Ming was surprised again. "Your surname is Zhang?"
"Yes! That's right! My surname is Zhang! " The old man gestured to the stool next to the counter, then leaned his elbow on the counter and said with difficulty, "I know why you are here!
"Shanghai … is my home! My home is in Shanghai … "
Zhao Yu wanted to send the young man away, but considering that there was no need to keep the case confidential, he let him stay.
Then, Zhao Yu and Ding Lan sat on the stool, waiting for the answer.
However, the old man's first sentence greatly surprised the two of them.
"My real name is Zhang Xingkui, and my brother is Zhang Haoren. Because of the homonym, everyone calls him Good Man Zhang …"
D * mn!
Zhao Yu and Ding Lan exchanged a look. They had thought that the old man in front of them was Zhang Haoren, but it turned out that he was Zhang Haoren's brother, Zhang Xingkui.
"My brother is three years older than me. He opened a finance company in the city center of Shanghai. After I graduated, he asked me to help him.
"The company's business is very busy, and the two of us can't handle it, so I called three of my classmates over.
"This safe belongs to our company!" The old man pointed at the photo. "But I've never seen my brother open it!
"I … um …"
At this point, the old man didn't know how to continue.
Zhao Yu often dealt with unsolved cases. He understood that the reason why the old man couldn't continue was because he was about to get to the main point.
So, Zhao Yu gave him a hint. "You didn't see the safe being opened, but you know what's inside, right?"
Hearing Zhao Yu's question, the old man shivered, then nodded his head in relief.
"Yes, I … I only found out later! Originally, before we ran away, my brother wanted to open the safe, but I don't know if the password was wrong, or if there was something wrong with the safe, he couldn't open it!
At that time, the police could find us at any time. It was impossible for us to carry the safe out of the building, so … So, we could only go to the basement and hide it! "
Zhao Yu sighed.
Zhao Yu sighed in his heart. He hadn't expected that Cui Lizhu's guess would come true. The arm had been left in the safe because they couldn't open it!
"What's in the safe?" Zhao Yu asked again.
"My brother said …" The old man swallowed his saliva and said, "He cut off the man's hand and put it in the safe!"
"That man …" Zhao Yu grasped the important word and asked, "Which man?"
"It's that vicious woman …" Speaking of this, the old man's face twitched. He then said excitedly, "When we started to escape, my brother told me everything!
At first, I thought that we were just committing a simple economic crime. After the news died down, we could go home and live our previous lives. But … I didn't expect things to be so serious … "
"Who is that vicious woman?" Zhao Yu asked. "Let's start with this vicious woman!"
"Um …" The old man adjusted his train of thought and said, "When he opened a finance company in Shanghai, my brother had a girlfriend … Um … How should I put it?
They were junior high school classmates. We are from Xianzhou! At that time, Xianzhou was still a rural area. Most of our children would choose to go to Shanghai after graduation … "
"Then, my brother met this female classmate, and the two of them got together very quickly …"
"What was the female classmate's name?" Zhao Yu asked. "What did she do?"
"Her name was Youran, but I don't know her surname," the old man said. "She was a nanny for a rich family in Fuxing District on Wen An Road!"
Nanny …
Zhao Yu nodded secretly. All the clues had finally come together.
"The vicious woman that I'm talking about was the mistress of that family!" The old man suddenly clenched his fists and said excitedly, "That evil woman had a priceless watch. One day … the watch was lost, so she framed … framed my brother's girlfriend, saying that she had stolen the watch, and forced her to pay for it …"
He then added, "Later, they called the police, and Youran was arrested and taken to the police station.
The most vicious thing was that they also informed Youran's family, so that everyone in Youran's family knew about it … "
"No way!" Ding Lan couldn't help but ask, "How could they frame someone like that without evidence?"
"The evidence is that the vicious woman's child, her son, said that he saw the watch being taken away by the nanny! He was very sure … "
"So, the police were biased towards their family …"
"Then … What happened next?" Zhao Yu seemed to have understood the whole story, so he immediately asked, "How was this matter resolved?"
"How could it be resolved …" The old man said regretfully, "The vicious woman's family was rich, so she said that she would hire a lawyer to fight the case and threaten to put Youran in jail …"
"Youran was a shy girl. Coupled with the rumors in her hometown, she couldn't bear it anymore and jumped off a building to commit suicide!"
Speaking of this, the old man's eyes were filled with tears, and his body was trembling.
"Ah?" Zhao Yu frowned and asked, "Where did she jump from?"
"A hospital in my hometown in Xianzhou," the old man said. "Under the heavy pressure, Youran's mental health began to deteriorate, so her family arranged for her to be hospitalized. Unexpectedly, she jumped off a building before the checkup was completed …"
"What about your brother?" Ding Lan asked. "Why didn't your brother accompany her?"
"My brother … Alas …" The old man said regretfully, "Our family had a bad reputation, so they didn't dare to tell our family about their relationship!
So, after the accident, my brother couldn't get close to Youran at all … "
"When my brother heard about Youran's death … Alas …" As a teardrop fell, the old man finally couldn't help crying.
