Chapter 353 Not That Simple

After everyone walked out of the door, Gu Nankai suddenly came back. Zhao Zixuan seemed a little surprised. He looked at Gu Nankai without saying anything. Gu Nankai didn't mind at all and immediately asked again: "I'm so sorry, I almost forgot to ask you the most important question just now. I want to know... why is your room locked?"
Gu Nankai asked this question deliberately, with the purpose of seeing Zhao Zixuan's most genuine reaction when he was unprepared.
But what was beyond his expectation was that Zhao Zixuan was more emotional when he heard this question than at other times. His body trembled slightly, and even some tears came to his eyes. He answered Gu Nankai with a hint of suppressed pain in his voice: "Before the incident happened, my sister heard the noise and came to my room. She told me to lock the door and not come out, so I locked the door."
Gu Nankai was slightly stunned. It seemed that Zhao Zixuan did not hide anything when he said this . Even he did not expect that the reason why Zhao Zixuan was able to escape was because Zhao Rong went to his bedroom and asked him to lock the door. Now that he thinks about it, judging from the scene of Zhao Rong's murder, it should be able to confirm what he is saying now. Zhao Rong did have signs of going out. It seems that she was killed when she returned from Zhao Zixuan's room.
Gu Nankai nodded quickly, said a few words to Zhao Zixuan asking him to have a good rest, and left. This time, he did not ask about Fufan again.
Wu Qingluan was standing behind him, so she heard everything Zhao Zixuan said just now. When the two walked a little further away, Wu Qingluan spoke first: "I'm sure that Zhao Zixuan is definitely not lying."
Gu Nankai also hesitated for a moment and said, "Indeed, judging from his emotional reaction at the time, this should be the most truthful sentence I have ever heard him say. There is absolutely no concealment at all."
The two of them were silent for a while. After they left the hospital, Gu Nankai asked again, "How is it? Did you find anything?"
Wu Qingluan pursed her lips and glanced at him. She knew that he should have seen something, so she quickly said, "Since you hinted to him that we were focusing our suspects on the Zhao and Mo families, you've already discovered something, right?"
Gu Nankai smiled and nodded without hiding anything. Wu Qingluan asked again, "When did you realize that something was wrong with Zhao Zixuan?"
The two got into the car while talking. After getting in, Wu Qingluan did not start the car immediately, but waited for Gu Nankai's answer to her previous question.
After Gu Nankai sat down, he also answered Wu Qingluan's question. He looked at his hand that had just been unbandaged and said, "When we first entered the ward, Zhao Zixuan didn't make any noise when we called him. We thought he didn't hear us, so I went up to call him. At that time, my hand seemed to have touched his shoulder, but in fact, my hand was still a little distance away from his shoulder.
"He knew we had gone in, but he just pretended not to hear us. He thought he had disguised himself well, but his slightly quicker movement betrayed him at that moment. It was when he turned around in panic and almost fell that I realized there was something wrong with Zhao Zixuan."
Gu Nankai told Wu Qingluan about his findings one by one, and smiled: "What about you, Teacher Wu? I think you should have discovered a lot of clues when I was communicating with him. Zhao Zixuan is not an ordinary person. He is still a little impatient."
At this point, Wu Qingluan was no longer in the mood to drive. The two of them started talking in the car. Wu Qingluan said, "During your conversation, I carefully observed Zhao Zixuan's micro-expressions and micro-movements. When you told him about the suspicions of the Zhao and Mo families, Zhao Zixuan's eyes flickered and his hands tightened slightly. But if we think about it, the death of the Zhao family was such a big blow to Zhao Zixuan that he couldn't question him for so long. But when you hinted at him today, his emotions didn't fluctuate much. Don't you think it's a bit strange?"
Gu Nankai smiled and said, "Strange, I also found that during the communication with me, although Zhao Zijuxuan tried his best to conceal himself, he kept trying to show that he was a victim, but he was still a little young after all, and some of his little movements and expressions still betrayed him."
Having said that, Wu Qingluan was too lazy to continue. This damn man saw it all clearly, so why was he still asking her?
"You can see it, yet you still ask me."
Wu Qingluan started the car and rolled her eyes at Gu Nankai while driving.
Gu Nankai smiled and looked at her: "I just want to hear your opinion as an expert. You are an expert in micro-expressions."
Wu Qingluan ignored his flattery and sneered, "Come on, everyone knows that you are also an expert in this area. Are you making fun of me or praising me now?"
Gu Nankai clicked his tongue twice, but he knew that Wu Qingluan was not really angry, so he changed the subject to business: "Do you remember what Zhao Zixuan said when we asked him about Brother Guang?"
Wu Qingluan frowned and quickly recalled the scene at that time. She was suddenly shocked. This discovery caused the car she had just started to stop suddenly, and Gu Nankai, who was unprepared, leaned forward, thinking something had happened.
"What's wrong? This is..."
Thanks to the seat belt, Gu Nankai reacted quickly and nothing happened. The first thing he said when he came to his senses was to look at Wu Qingluan, but he saw Wu Qingluan looking at him with some surprise. She didn't realize how dangerous it was that she suddenly stopped the car just now. She said directly: "At that time, Zhao Zixuan directly said that Brother Guang was that kind of person! But he also said that he didn't know Brother Guang. Since he didn't know Brother Guang, how could he know what kind of person Brother Guang was? So, Zhao Zixuan and Brother Guang must know each other!"
Gu Nankai then realized that Wu Qingluan was suddenly excited because she thought of this matter. He chuckled and quickly said, "Indeed, I thought so at the time, but I also realized that Zhao Zixuan seemed to have realized the loophole in our words. If we continue to talk to him, he will definitely be alert, so I asked you to come out with me as soon as possible."
He paused, and then quickly continued, "And when we talk about Zhao Rong, the emotions expressed by Zhao Zixuan's micro-movements at that time seemed to be inconsistent with what he said. He clearly said that Zhao Rong was an excellent sister in his eyes, and he relied on this sister very much. But from the tone of his voice and the expression when he talked about Zhao Rong, I can't believe that the brother-sister relationship between Zhao Rong and Zhao Zixuan is as deep as we know."
The more Wu Qingluan listened, the more she recalled some things. She silently recalled the scenes when they met Zhao Zixuan in the hospital one by one. After magnifying some details one by one, she found that many things she almost overlooked were revealed. Everything told her a fact, that the relationship between Zhao Zixuan and the Zhao family was definitely not that simple, especially the relationship between him and Zhao Rong, which was not as simple as they imagined.
"Let's go back and see everyone's progress before we talk."
Wu Qingluan nodded. She thought that Gu Nankai had probably already seen through what she had just thought of, so she didn't say much at the moment and drove directly back to the serious crime team.
When the two men returned, Cao Cang and Shang Lu had just finished questioning. Gu Nankai and the others also ran into Lin Qi and Du Zexi who had been released. Neither of them looked like the people who Gu Nankai thought fit the description of the murderer. He did not ask any more questions and quickly passed over the two of them and sent them to the serious crime team. Less than three seconds after they entered, he saw Li Meng coming back in a hurry.
