Chapter 13 Being followed
"How is your relationship with your husband?" Gu Nankai paused for a moment before asking this question again. Unexpectedly, Qin Lu's reaction was quite intense. Her pupils widened and she was a little anxious: "We have a very good relationship! Are you doubting me? Do you doubt that I killed my husband with my own hands?"
Gu Nankai frowned slightly, and felt that there was something wrong, but he quickly shook his head: "Ms. Qin, don't think too much, I'm just asking according to routine."
Qin Lu slowly calmed down, and he continued to ask: "What about the child if you go back to your mother's house?"
"My parents' home is close to Leilei's school, and he has a good relationship with my parents. There's no one to take care of him when I'm not around, so I took Leilei with me. I just came back this morning after sending him to school."
"What about your husband? Your father's birthday is coming. Isn't he going to attend?" Gu Nankai asked his question. He stared into Qin Lu's eyes and saw a hint of something on her face. Qin Lu looked a little embarrassed and seemed to be thinking of some convincing excuse: "He was busy with work, so he didn't go."
Gu Nankai frowned slightly: "That shouldn't be the case. You don't have a good relationship with your husband, right?"
"Officer, it's inappropriate for you to say such things without any evidence!" Qin Lu seemed a little angry, and she glared at Gu Nankai.
Gu Nankai raised his hand to signal her not to be too angry: "When I asked you just now, you used Sheng Yuandong's full name. Think about it, if your relationship is good enough, why would a wife call her husband by his name?"
Qin Lu's face changed slightly, her voice still trembling: "What I call my husband has anything to do with his death!"
Gu Nankai said seriously, "Ms. Qin, if you want to find out the truth about your husband's death as soon as possible, you have to cooperate with our police investigation. Every word you say may help us solve the case, so please tell the truth."
"Also..." Gu Nankai stared into her eyes: "Your child also needs your protection now. If you hide something, we can interrogate you as a suspect. In this way, things will become more complicated than you think."
Qin Lu was not a simple housewife. Although she quit her job after marrying Sheng Yuandong, Gu Nankai could see that she was a very opinionated woman. After recovering from the shock, she was calm enough to face them. So after she said this, Qin Lu also fell silent. She was thinking about the weight of Gu Nankai's words, and the effect was obvious. After a long time, she took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll tell you."
After thinking it over, Qin Lu slowly spoke: "Before marrying Sheng Yuandong, I was a senior executive of a company. In fact, I looked down on men like Sheng Yuandong, and I never thought about getting married and having children when my career was at its best. At a business gathering, I was plotted against." Her eyes darkened and she looked at Gu Nankai and Wu Qingluan again: "I was plotted against by Sheng Yuandong."
Gu Nankai and Wu Qingluan certainly knew what Qin Lu meant by the conspiracy.
"Then you found out you were pregnant." Gu Nankai looked at her. Qin Lu nodded, a little sad: "Yes, I could have aborted the child and started over, but the child is innocent, it's a life, I wanted to give birth to him. At that time, Sheng Yuandong pursued me very passionately, and for this child, I chose to marry Sheng Yuandong."
"Yes, Sheng Yuandong's ex-wife passed away, and he has no children. If you stand on the point of benefit first, marrying him is a good choice." Gu Nankai continued as she spoke. Qin Lu was a little surprised at his understanding, but a hint of bitterness still appeared on the corners of her mouth: "Yes, Sheng Yuandong's attitude towards me has gradually changed after marriage, but he is very good to Lei Lei, and even said that he would transfer his shares to Lei Lei. For me, as long as it is good for the child, other things don't matter. After all, the original intention of marrying him was just for right?"
That's what she said, but who doesn't know that this is just her self-consolation? This woman is strong and decisive, and she loves her children. Gu Nankai's impression of her unconsciously improved a little. He thought for a while and asked again: "Before you married Sheng Yuandong, I mean... before Sheng Yuandong plotted against you, did you have a boyfriend?"
Qin Lu was silent, a trace of sadness appeared on her face, and she spoke with some difficulty: "Yes, but since that incident, we broke up, and I have never seen him again."
Gu Nankai wrote down this information and asked her one last question: "How much do you know about Sheng Yuandong and Zheng Yi?"
"Zheng Yi?" This was obviously the first time Qin Lu heard this name. She thought for a while and shook her head: "I don't know this person, and I haven't heard of him."
Seeing that Qin Lu was almost unable to hold on, Gu Nankai did not ask any more questions. Qin Lu's younger brother had also received the news and rushed to the hospital. He looked like a capable and reasonable young man. Gu Nankai gave a few instructions, and the young man wrote them down one by one. Then Gu Nankai and Wu Qingluan left the hospital.
"Could Qin Lu's ex-boyfriend be related to Sheng Yuandong's death?" After leaving the hospital, Wu Qingluan expressed her suspicion. Gu Nankai chuckled and said, "It's very likely, otherwise this guy wouldn't have followed us stealthily."
"What ?" Wu Qingluan was startled and subconsciously wanted to look behind her. Gu Nankai hurriedly hugged her and said, "Don't look back. Let's see what this guy wants to do!"
Being suddenly embraced by a man like this, Wu Qingluan was a little confused for a moment, but her pride prompted her to be more calm at the moment. After the panic, she quickly recovered her eyes and said indifferently: "How do you know that the person following us is Qin Lu's ex-boyfriend?"
Gu Nankai walked forward and said nonchalantly, "I'm not sure, but this guy has been lingering at the door of Qin Lu's ward, and he looks so sneaky, so I'll just make a guess."
Wu Qingluan was about to express her speechlessness at his guess, but Gu Nankai's grip on her shoulders changed slightly, and the two of them changed direction and walked to the right. The man who had been following them also followed them in, but he didn't see Gu Nankai and his friends. Disappointment was clearly visible on the man's face. After a slight hesitation, he tried to walk forward again, maybe he could still find them. At this moment, a teasing voice suddenly came from behind him: "What, did you lose them?"
The man turned around in panic. The two people he had been following just now were looking at him leisurely, as if they were laughing at how poor his skills were. He was a little discouraged and rolled his eyes in resignation: "You can kill me or chop me up as you like!"
"Then tell me, what did you do that we have to kill you?" Gu Nankai asked back with a bit of amusement. The man's face changed: "Then why are you blocking me?"
Gu Nankai also asked back: "Then why are you following us?"
He was speechless, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally told his reason under Gu Nankai's shining gaze: "Something happened at her home, and I'm worried about her. Can't I come to the hospital to see her? You are the police, and I just want to get close to you to see if I can get some information."
It turned out to be Qin Lu's ex-boyfriend, but Gu Kenan was more interested in something else at the moment: "What's your name?"
"Gao Mingfei." The man said his name unhappily. Gu Nankai nodded: "How do you know that something happened at Qin Lu's home?"
