Chapter 228 The Disappearing Five Years
"How is that possible? I have investigated Zhao Zhengrong. The cases he solved and the things he did do don't seem like someone who would do such a thing. Besides, Zhao Zhengrong is a very upright person. How could he do something illegal? It is unlikely that he would break the law knowingly."
Chen Anning had the same idea as her: "Indeed, Nan Kai didn't believe that Zhao Zhengrong had anything to do with this matter at the time. He thought Zhao Zhengrong was framed, but within two days, something went wrong."
Wu Qingluan's eyes tightened: "What's the matter?"
"Because Zhao Zhengrong was involved in this case, Nan Kai decided to temporarily stop him from getting involved in order to protect him. However, he didn't expect that Zhao Zhengrong would suddenly ask Nan Kai to meet him three days later. I knew about this because Nan Kai called me to discuss this matter. On the way to see Zhao Zhengrong, neither of us paid attention to it, nor did we expect that something would happen next."
Chen Anning's words were already full of doubts, and Wu Qingluan was even more curious about what happened afterwards. She was sure that Gu Nankai's inner demon must be what happened when he went to meet Zhao Zhengrong.
"And then, what happened afterwards?"
She asked Chen An Ning anxiously, but Chen An Ning shook his head in embarrassment: "I don't know what happened afterwards. I wasn't working here at the time. The reason I know about this is because Nan Kai and I have a good relationship and often discuss the case. No one knows what happened when Nan Kai went to see Zhao Zhengrong except him. The only thing I know is that when they met, Zhao Zhengrong shot Nan Kai, and then he and Zhang Qingqing fell into the sea at the same time and were never found again."
"You didn't look for it? If you act immediately, you will find the body even if the person is dead, right?"
Wu Qingluan thought this was too weird. What happened? Zhao Zhengrong had such a good relationship with Gu Nankai, so why did he shoot him?
"We looked for them. How could we not look for them? We spent many days but didn't find them. However, Nan Kai was very sure that Zhao Zhengrong and the others were dead because he said that Zhao Zhengrong held Zhang Qingqing hostage to threaten him. Zhao Zhengrong eventually admitted that he was involved in the money laundering case and forced Nan Kai to shoot. However, Nan Kai did not shoot. Instead, Zhao Zhengrong shot him. After that, Nan Kai saw with his own eyes that Zhao Zhengrong shot himself and fell into the sea with Zhang Qingqing."
"Ah? How is this possible?" Wu Qingluan felt this was extremely confusing. Zhao Zhengrong actually killed himself?
"Although it is absurd and difficult to understand, it is the fact. At first, some people suspected that Nan Kai killed Zhao Zhengrong, but from the analysis of the bullet shells at the scene, it was indeed Zhao Zhengrong who fired the shot himself, and Nan Kai's gun had plenty of bullets. So, why Zhao Zhengrong did this at the time is still a mystery."
Wu Qingluan thought this was incredible. Zhao Zhengrong had the upper hand. He and Gu Nankai agreed to meet at the beach, and he also held Gu Nankai's girlfriend Zhang Qingqing hostage. Under what circumstances choose to self-destruct? This didn't make sense at all. From beginning to end, Gu Nankai's existence seemed very strange.
"After that, although there are all kinds of signs that Gu Nankai did not fire the gun, it is impossible for Gu Nankai not to be involved in Zhao Zhengrong's death at the time. After all, many things are his one-sided story."
Although Wu Qingluan was inclined to Gu Nankai's side, based on what Chen Anning said, it would not be so easy for Gu Nankai to get the invitation at that time.
"You're right." Chen Anning slammed the table and said, "At that time, the leaders all suspected Nan Kai, but they couldn't find any evidence. Later, they sent people to secretly investigate Nan Kai for a while, but in the end, they found nothing."
Wu Qingluan frowned, and immediately thought of another question: "What about the money laundering case? How did it end? Is there any result?"
Chen Anning shook his head speechlessly. "The money laundering case came to an abrupt end after Zhao Zhengrong's death. All the clues could not be traced back to Zhao Zhengrong, and no result was found in the end. As far as I know, Nan Kai's investigation took a little longer, but the final result was the same. After that, he gave up and left the Criminal Police Brigade. With the departure of the two generals, the Criminal Police Brigade gradually declined. It was not until I took office and found Nan Kai and formed a serious crime team with you that we regained some face."
Chen Anning was very proud at the end of his speech. As a director who was pushed up by those old guys, if it weren't for the serious crime team, he would have been laughed to death by those old guys. But now, with the serious crime team's efficiency in solving cases, these old guys are envious.
But Wu Qingluan didn't care about these. She was full of doubts about the incident, but at the same time, she seemed to understand Gu Nankai's feelings. His best friend was involved in the case and suddenly his girlfriend was held hostage. In the end, both of them died in the sea. What was even more pitiful was that Gu Nankai himself probably didn't understand what happened in the end. How helpless it was to live in this world with an unsolvable problem and pain. Wu Qingluan didn't dare to think about it, but she knew it must be very painful.
"Hey, you are not allowed to tell Nan Kai about this. This is his Achilles' heel. Nan Kai is such a pitiful child. Just think about it, he lost his memory when he was a child, and then he went through this kind of thing when he grew up. Who can bear it?"
Chen An Ning said something else, which shocked Wu Qingluan again: "What did you say, Gu Nankai lost his memory?"
"oops!"
Chen An Ning was shocked and slapped himself on the back of his head in anger. He secretly regretted why he had told this matter out loud. He wanted to slap himself a few times right now. If he spoke too much, he would get into trouble!
"Tell me, what's going on? What's the matter with Gu Nankai's amnesia ? Don't play dumb, or I'll go ask Gu Nankai and tell him that you told me everything."
Wu Qingluan seized this opportunity to threaten Chen An Ning, and immediately put on a smile when she saw Chen An Ning's angry and helpless face: "Director Chen, since things have come to this, just tell me everything. We are all here to help him, and we don't have any bad intentions."
Wu Qingluan sighed secretly in her heart. This was the first time she had tried to please someone for the sake of Gu Nankai.
At this point, Chen Anning no longer had any thoughts of trying to get away with it. He sighed and said reluctantly, "Nan Kai was kidnapped when he was ten years old and disappeared for five years. Five years later, he escaped and was rescued by a man named Huo Jiuye, but after waking up, he had lost all his memories of the past."
Wu Qingluan felt even more puzzled now: "Director Chen, you also know Master Huo Jiu? As far as I know, that person is..."
"Hey, don't you see the relationship between me and Nan Kai? I am not only his senior, but also his best brother. I know these things and it's not surprising. But since Zhao Zhengrong's death, Nan Kai has been wary of everyone, even me. He will never be as open-hearted as before. But I can understand and I don't blame him."
Looking at Wu Qingluan's face which was still in shock, he laughed: "As for Master Huo Jiu, I know him. Although Master Huo Jiu is very skillful, he will not do anything that is harmful to the world. He is very measured in his actions. His skills are in place, but you can't find any fault with him. The police played Tai Chi with him for many years and couldn't find any fault with him. In my opinion, it is a blessing for Nan Kai to have such a person behind him."
