Chapter 7 Hu Kai's Secret
"What do you mean?"
The sleepy crowd was startled by his idea and hurried over, hoping to hear the evidence of his reasoning from him. Gu Nankai cleared his throat: "Whether it is Gu Mei, Zhao Li, or Hu Kai, the motives of these three people are too obvious, aren't they?"
Everyone couldn't deny it, but they still didn't understand what he meant.
"Hu Kai is a smart man, and he is also a filial son to his mother. Just imagine, when a man like him has a sick mother, how could he not understand and how expensive the medicines are?"
"Sooner or later he will find out that there is something wrong with the price of the medicine. He will definitely check it out. At this time, with his intelligence, he will definitely find that Murphy Lin has already given the doctor a large sum of money!"
Gao Yuan was quite clever this time. He slapped the table and said excitedly, "So Hu Kai must have lied to us. He probably knew what happened to Murphy Lin a long time ago! He must hate Hu Minghai to the core!"
Gu Nankai nodded, a shrewd look in his eyes: "Come to think of it, when we first went to see Hu Kai, he used some tricks to make us think he was emotional. Now it seems like he is hiding something."
"What are you waiting for? Bring this kid back for questioning and see if he will confess!"
Li Meng stood up with his eyes wide open, startling the two girls who had been drowsy all the time. Gu Nankai looked at the time and saw that it was already early in the morning, so he waved his hand and said, "It's so late, everyone go back and rest. Tomorrow morning, Li Meng, you go catch the people. Teacher Wu and I need to go to a place first to understand the situation."
The night was getting darker and darker. Shang Lu was escorted home by three boys. Gu Nankai sat in Wu Qingluan's car. He was very tired at this time, but he still tried to think about something. Wu Qingluan yawned lightly: "We have already found the murderer, what else are you thinking about?"
Gu Nankai uttered a low "Hey" and said, "Do you think Hu Kai is the final murderer?"
Wu Qingluan was puzzled: "The motive is so clear, isn't it?"
"It can't be him. He's just a way for us to find the real murderer."
Wu Qingluan was silent, and Gu Nankai had closed his eyes at this time. She didn't understand this man. Maybe he already had ideas about many things in his mind, but he didn't say them out loud, so no one knew and she didn't ask.
After a short rest, the next day when they met again, they all seemed more energetic than the previous two days. As soon as Gu Nankai entered the door, he asked directly: "Where is Hu Kai?"
"In the interrogation room, we brought it back early this morning." Li Meng answered, and followed Gu Nankai directly to the interrogation room. Wu Qingluan stayed outside, and Gao Yuan approached her: " Where did you two go so early in the morning?"
Wu Qingluan seemed a little tired: "I went to find Hu Minghai's former nanny to find out the situation. I was really exhausted."
Gao Yuan chuckled twice and didn't disturb him anymore. Not long after Gu Nankai went in, Cao Cang received a phone call. His face changed slightly and he hurried to the interrogation room. At this time, Hu Kai was being interrogated by Gu Nankai.
"You already know who Murphy Lin is."
Hu Kai looked at Gu Nankai lazily: "Officer, I told you, I don't know any Murphy Lin."
Gu Nankai was not in a hurry, but slowly changed the subject: "Then let's talk about your mother's illness."
After saying this, Hu Kai was stunned for a moment, as if he had thought of something, but soon he raised his eyebrows and glanced at Gu Nankai: "My mother's illness has nothing to do with the case."
"It is indeed unrelated, but according to the information we have, the cost of your mother's treatment is not something you can afford. The money for the treatment was secretly given to the doctor by Murphy Lin."
Gu Nankai saw Hu Kai's expression change, and without giving him a chance to speak, he continued, "When did you know about the money, and when did you know that your father imprisoned her?"
Gu Nankai stared at Hu Kai as he spoke. He could clearly see the changes in the child's facial expression, from forbearance, to pain, to anger, and finally to a roar with veins bulging on his forehead: "That bastard is not my father! He is a beast! He deserves to die!"
Looking at the anger in Hu Kai's eyes, Gu Nankai could understand.
"But not everyone can judge his guilt."
Hu Kai smiled coldly: "So it's you? Do we have to wait until he has harmed enough people, and one day the truth is finally revealed, before we can speak up for the victims? This seems like a relief for Hu Minghai, but what about those who have been harmed by him? How many people have to die before he is punished? Is this the meaning of the law? Is this the so-called equal protection that the law gives to people?"
Listening to his words, Gu Nankai didn't know how to respond to him for a moment, because from a certain perspective, what Hu Kai said was not wrong at all, but from their standpoint, they had to stand on their own. He glanced at Li Meng and saw that he was also somewhat moved. After a slight silence, he turned his head and said, "But in many cases, there is no need to sacrifice another person to punish him, what do you think?"
Hu Kai's face froze, his eyes staring blankly at a certain spot on the ground. Gu Nankai and Li Meng did not speak either, waiting for his answer. It was not until a long time later that Hu Kai lost his temper, but was extremely sad: "I don't know who she is..."
"Don't know? That him?" This was beyond his expectation.
"Yes, I didn't know. Hu Minghai should have died in my hands." He raised his head and looked at Gu Nankai, hatred in his tired eyes: "When I found Xiaoyue following the money, she was already dead."
Hu Kai fell silent after saying this, as if he was suppressing his pain. Gu Nankai and the others did not speak either. Taking advantage of this gap, Cao Cang walked in, leaned over and whispered something in Gu Nankai's ear. Gu Nankai raised his eyebrows and quickly responded . After Cao Cang left, Hu Kai finally recovered. He exhaled heavily, "So I want Hu Minghai to die. On the 14th, I originally wanted to kill Hu Minghai, but she stopped me."
"A woman, isn't she?"
Hu Kai exhaled deeply again: "Yes, a woman."
"Do you know her?"
"I couldn't see her face, but I could feel her hatred. Like me, she hated Hu Minghai deeply. Her hatred was no less than mine."
"Captain Gu, could it be Gu Mei?" Li Meng leaned over and whispered in Gu Nankai's ear. A gleam of light flashed in Gu Nankai's eyes, and he shook his head imperceptibly.
"In your plan, how do you want Hu Minghai to die?"
"I don't know. I just wanted to kill him. I didn't think about how to kill him. In fact, I didn't think about escaping the police. It was that person who said that Hu Minghai's death shouldn't implicate me. I still have my mother. If I killed Hu Minghai, everything Xiaoyue did would be meaningless."
Gu Nankai somewhat agreed with what the murderer said. Indeed, Hu Kai was a bit impulsive, and Xiaoyue's death would be meaningless.
"Does your mother know about this?"
Hu Kai frowned: "She knows nothing. Even after you looked for her, she thought I killed Hu Minghai. And you should have checked it out. I was with her on the day Hu Minghai died, wasn't I?"
Gu Nankai knew that what he said was correct. They had already verified what needed to be verified, and it was indeed true.
"You can go now."
Gu Nankai took Li Mengji's transcript and read it. After confirming that it was correct, he spoke. However, Hu Kai hesitated. He looked up at Gu Nankai and said, "If you find the murderer, can you tell me? I want to meet her."
He was so sad and eager to see that person, not because she killed his father, but because she protected himself and his mother's only son.
