Chapter 222: Story

In another interrogation room, Zhang Zhiyuan sat on the interrogation chair with an ugly face and a hunched figure. This time, the police directly brought him to the criminal police team. It seemed that things were not good! Were the police trying to scam him or did Huang Li "sell" him? Otherwise, why would the police detain him? He decided to keep his mouth shut and firmly not fall into the police's trap!

Just as he was letting his imagination run wild, he saw Gu Changzheng push the door and enter. Gao Ye, who was responsible for interrogating him, hurriedly stood up and said: "Captain Gu!" Seeing Gao Ye's expression, Gu Changzheng knew that Zhang Zhiyuan definitely hadn't confessed. He snorted coldly and said: "Zhang Zhiyuan! Do you think you can really stay out of it by finding a scapegoat?"

Gu Changzheng couldn't be sure that Lou Zhen was pushed off the building by Zhang Zhiyuan, because there was also Xiao Hai, that half-grown child who hadn't reached 16 years old. Now, his previous words were naturally not credible. But, Gu Changzheng thought of a more terrible truth! So he couldn't draw a conclusion yet.

Zhang Zhiyuan looked up and glanced at Gu Changzheng: "I don't know what you mean. You detained me here indiscriminately. What exactly do you want to do?"

"Heh heh!" Gu Changzheng sneered: "You are pretending to be confused! When you introduced Lou Zhen to Chen Junyang, you were laying a trap for you to kill Lou Zhen in advance, right!" He deliberately said the murderer was "you all," with the goal of disrupting Zhang Zhiyuan's train of thought, making him unable to figure out how much of their situation he had mastered.

Upon hearing this, the corners of Zhang Zhiyuan's mouth twitched involuntarily. Although it was very slight and fast, it still didn't escape Gu Changzheng's eyes. He took advantage of the situation and went up: "You have also taken pains! All right, it's already at this point, talk about it! Why did you all kill Lou Zhen, and also forged a fake appearance of jumping off a building? And you all put the crime of murder on Chen Junyang. Do you have a deep hatred for him?"

Zhang Zhiyuan's mouth twitched a few more times. He looked at Gu Changzheng: "Ha ha! I really didn't expect you to go to such lengths for a woman with a bad reputation jumping off a building. Yes! She didn't jump off the building voluntarily!"

Zhang Zhiyuan's mood changed greatly, as if he collapsed in an instant. He shouted loudly: "That woman deserves to die! Because of her, my mother died in that catastrophe! Because of her, my father became undignified! I let her die, isn't it deserved?"

Gu Changzheng looked at him coldly, but in his heart, he was thinking about why Huang Li might be persuaded by him to help him, but why Xiao Hai? That Lou Zhen, no matter how bad she was, was also his own grandmother? Why did he help Zhang Zhiyuan lie and mislead the police?

You know, Gu Changzheng was the one who listened to his testimony and thought Chen Junyang was the murderer.

After Zhang Zhiyuan vented for a while, he looked up and sighed long and hard: "But in the end, I still couldn't escape your eyes. Since it's like this, I'll confess everything!"

Gu Changzheng said indifferently: "It's good to think clearly, say it!"

"Heh heh!" Zhang Zhiyuan raised his head, his eyes staring at the ceiling above his head, and said slowly: "This matter has to start from more than ten years ago, probably in '92. That year I was only 13 years old, just in junior high school. My father worked in the hospital in the small county where we lived, and my mother worked at the county TV station."

Parents not only had decent jobs, but their feelings were also very good, and they were also university alumni. Father was a few years older than mother, and he was also very doting on mother usually.

But everything changed in the year I was 13!

One day when I came home from school, I found that both parents were at home. You know, with the nature of their work, it was not easy to meet both of them at home! I was very happy to see them at home, but the strange atmosphere in the house made me feel something was wrong!

Looking closely, I found that mother's eyes were a bit red and swollen, as if she had cried! I was sensitive because of that kind of child's sensitivity at that time, so I pulled mother's sleeve and asked her what was wrong?

At that moment, mother, who had always been independent and strong, had tears rolling down her cheeks!

Seeing this, I was scared and panicked! Ignorant and young, I was scared by this sudden change of mother and cried loudly!

Father on the side seemed to have some reluctance, but still turned and left the house! At that time, I didn't know that that departure from father actually became the last gathering of our family of three!

And I didn't see him again until 2003 after that departure from father, and 11 years had passed during this period!

At first, I didn't know why my parents separated. Mother never mentioned the reason for their separation, just saying that father had the right to pursue the life he wanted!

Until the SARS outbreak in '03, my mother, as a reporter, had been busy on the front line, reporting on the spread and governance of the epidemic everywhere. Who knew, she was accidentally infected by the virus, and finally, finally, she couldn't hold on!"

When Zhang Zhiyuan said this, his hands were clenched tightly unconsciously! His eyes were filled with tears, almost about to burst out!

"If my mother wasn't living alone, she definitely wouldn't have died because no one took care of her. And at that time, I was still trapped in school. By the time I returned to her side, she had already reached the last stage of her life!"

However, until then, she still didn't say a word against my father! In her dying moments, mother asked me to find father. She said he was a good person, but she was not blessed enough to enjoy his love!"

"Let me go to his side and take good care of him! Later, I understood the true meaning of mother's words! This had to wait until I came to father's side and saw that woman who existed like a demon!"

"Oh? You didn't know about Lou Zhen's existence before you went to find your father?" Gu Changzheng asked.

"Yes! Didn't I say it? Mother never mentioned the reason why father left us before she died!" Zhang Zhiyuan suddenly raised his head and said impatiently, his voice loud and his facial expression ferocious!

Seeing this, Gao Ye slapped the table with a "pa" and shouted: "Zhang Zhiyuan! Pay attention to controlling your emotions!"

Seeing that Zhang Zhiyuan lowered his head, his body trembling slightly, not long after, he whispered: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! It's my fault!"

Gu Changzheng looked at him with a frown, seemingly thoughtful!

After Zhang Zhiyuan apologized, Gu Changzheng said: "Zhang Zhiyuan, let's stop here today! You are a bit tired, rest first, we'll talk again tomorrow."

After speaking, regardless of the questioning look cast by Gao Ye, he waved his hand, and a police officer came in from outside the door and took Zhang Zhiyuan away.

Gao Ye asked: "Captain Gu, this is?"

Gu Changzheng glanced at him and said softly: "This Zhang Zhiyuan probably has a mental illness like mania. Now it's not suitable to interrogate him anymore. It just so happens that we go to find that Xiao Hai. He should also know a lot of things!"

"That child, yes, how did he get mixed up with Zhang Zhiyuan?"

"Perhaps, that child also has his own story!" Gu Changzheng said with a faint smile on the corners of his mouth. ===== CHAPTER 223 =====
