38. Empty Mountain (8)

"You don't have to worry about this." Yuan Qingyu comforted his former students.

"Teacher, unless the case is solved, I can't be at ease." Pan Shaofang asked tentatively, "Do you need to use lie detector technology?"

Yuan Qingyu smiled indifferently and said, "Xiao Chen and his team found a key witness. Once Shao Lan sees him, the probability of telling lies will be minimized."

Gu Qingtong, who had been silent for a long time, was moved by Yuan Qingyu's answer and couldn't help but raise his hands high to speak.

"Xiao Gu, please speak."

"Professor Yuan, is the witness you mentioned Gao Yuquan?"

After a word came out, everyone was shocked. Shi Dong turned his face and put his palms on his lips and asked in a low voice: "Sister Gu, are you confused? Shao Lan's husband fell off the cliff and died eight years ago..."

However, Yuan Qingyu smiled at Gu Qingtong with approval: "It's him."

When everyone heard this, they didn't know what to do. At this moment, Chen Qizhang appeared at the door of the conference room, with a determined determination in his expression: "Professor Yuan, we have brought the person you want!"

Gu Qingtong looked over and saw a thin man with a face full of beard standing beside Chen Qizhang, and he glanced around at a loss.

That's right, it's Gao Yuquan - Shao Lan's husband.

Yuan Qingyu stood up slowly, the participants present nodded, and then turned around and walked towards Chen Qizhang and Gao Yuquan.

"Gao... didn't he confirm his death?" Shi Dong's mouth opened wide, and his surprised expression showed what he was thinking, "The dead are resurrected? My God, please don't let me see a ghost in broad daylight..."

Cao Zhe held the folder in his hand and poked Shi Dong's ribs with the tip of the top corner, warning: "What are you talking nonsense? Professor Yuan will naturally explain it clearly."

"Xiao Chen, take Master Gao to the hospital." Yuan Qingyu reminded Chen Qizhang, "Remember, don't go in rashly when you arrive at the ICU. Everything is waiting for me to arrange."

As he said that, Chen Qizhang and Yuan Qingyu whispered a few more words, as if they were deploying some secret plan.

Yuan Qingyu agreed and said, "Okay, that's it!"

Chen Qizhang called two young colleagues to accompany Gao Yuquan to the parking lot first, while he himself stayed in the conference room to supplement information.

After obtaining Yuan Qingyu's approval, Chen Qizhang briefly described the truth about Gao Yuquan's "resurrection from the dead".

"Eight years ago at the end of April, the gang led by Shao Lan abducted a total of seven children, two of which were sick, one of whom was hearing-impaired and the other suffered from congenital heart disease. On the way back to Yuanta Village, Shao Lan contacted the buyer and sold five healthy children along the way in advance. The child with congenital heart disease looked very much like the daughter of Gao Yuquan and Shao Lan and his wife who died at the age of four, so he felt compassion and secretly decided to let the two children go..."

"Sorry, Team Chen, I have a problem-"

Chen Qizhang expressed his understanding: "Tell me, Xiao Gu."

Gu Qingtong has read Gao Yuquan's file no less than ten times. Although his technical level eight years ago was not as good as that of now, basic DNA testing and confirming the identity of the deceased is an important step. Isn't anyone doing something wrong?

"The deceased in the autopsy report is consistent with Gao Yuquan's appearance and characteristics, and his blood type and DNA test are also consistent. Did he survive by himself before he could have been dissected?"

Yuan Qingyu sighed sincerely: "Xiao Pan, you are really a crouching tiger and hidden dragon around you!"

"Then you need to say it?" Pan Shaofang's pride was beyond words, "Everyone of our group is an elite."

"I..." Gu Qingtong was dumbfounded, "I guessed right?"

"You are reasoning, not guessing." Chen Qizhang projected the photos of the medical appraisal book of that year onto the slide curtain. "When we found Gao Yuquan, he was in severe shock. After rescue, Gao Yuquan saved his life. After he woke up, he immediately asked about the condition of the two sick children. When he learned that the children had been rescued and his biological parents took them home, he immediately contacted us and said that he was willing to be a tainted witness."

Yuan Qingyu said: "Just eight years have passed just this time. Shao Lan's gang appeared calm on the surface, but was even more rampant in private. On the one hand, Bao Feng made great contributions, and on the other hand, he also benefited from Gao Yuquan's clues."

Chen Qizhang immediately said: "Bao Feng has counted the information about all abducted women and children in nine villages over the years. Gao Yuquan has fully cooperated with our actions based on the high trust of the villagers."

"I see!"

Gu Qingtong finally understood the massive information contained in the chat content of Bao Feng and Ji Heng: On the afternoon of the closing operation, when they were playing chess, they mentioned a truck driver who had been transporting daily necessities to Yuanta Village and surrounding villages for many years. So, the driver must be Gao Yuquan.

She frowned unconsciously: It is understandable that Bao Feng performs his duties, how did Ji Heng participate in this case? Excuses such as curiosity inevitably look pale and old-fashioned...

After talking about the whole story, Yuan Qingyu and Chen Qizhang went to the hospital.

Given that there is no direct evidence to provide the prosecution, Pan Shaofang sought everyone's opinions and suggestions on the case. Gu Qingtong had not spoken for a long time, and the persistent spirit disappeared from her in an instant.

"Xiao Gu, seven dead people have successfully matched the missing persons in the eight corpses dug out in the yard, only one person is left, and the identity is temporarily unknown - Xiao Gu? Are you listening?"

"...I'm sorry, Team Pan, what did you say?"

Pan Shaofang knocked on the table twice and asked with concern: "You are not very good-looking and are you still worried about Bao Feng's condition?"

"This deceased is a female, aged between 25 and 30 years old, and the corresponding person cannot be found in the database." Gu Qingtong answered the question irrelevantly, looking at the autopsy report at hand in distractedly, "I suggest checking the worker Shao Lan knew when she was working. Maybe she cheated the girl from another province back, but she was murderous?"

"It makes sense." Pan Shaofang stared at her helplessly for seven or eight seconds, and finally assigned a task, "You should be responsible for the specific work. The process should be fast. You must tell me the result before Shao Lan can speak!"

-

Telephone investigation has its limitations. Most of the feedback Gu Qingtong received was a headache-inspiring perfunctory saying such as "no impression" or "can't remember clearly".

I went to Linghai City for on-site investigation and had to be fired.

Shi Dong volunteered: "Sister Gu, choose me!"

"Do you make sure you don't have emotional feelings?" Gu Qingtong felt nervous, "I think Haiyang is steady and cautious, and is most suitable for this case..."

"I can't get out of the time, Servant Gu——" Jin Haiyang's voice came over, "The anti-drug team has tracked down 'Brother Xiao', and they seconded me to assist in the arrest."

"Brother Xiao?" Gu Qingtong was excited, "The big drug lord that Team Wang pretended to be before retirement appeared?"

Jin Haiyang showed a set of surveillance screenshots: "Ge Xiao's real name is Han Xiao, and he was the top student of drug trafficking groups at a young age. He appeared at the Hot Spring Holiday Hotel in the Northern Suburbs last night. This was his first time returning to Jinyang City in his five-year escape career. Last time, Team Wang played Han Xiao, and I played Han Xiao's loyal follower, which won the trust of some people on the transaction."

"Do you take the initiative to send it to your door and be slaughtered?" Gu Qingtong was worried. "What is the number of Team Xu of the drug control team? I'll call him to help you turn off this absurd task..."

"Sister Gu, success or failure is here," Jin Haiyang looked calm, "It's important. Even if there is a sea of ​​swords and fire, I will go there with a lot of trouble this time!"

Gu Qingtong was anxious: "No, it's too unreasonable!"

"At first glance, I took a risk," Pan Shaofang suddenly joined the conversation. "Think about it carefully, this is actually a way to win in danger."

"Captain Pan!" Gu Qingtong suddenly raised her voice, "Our group is like a big family. Do you have the heart to let your family go out and take risks?"

"I have not only studied the action plan of the anti-drug team, but also pointed out three shortcomings for them." Pan Shaofang supported the table with both hands, and his upper body slightly turned to the three team members in front of him. "I believe in Haiyang's ability to do things, and we all should believe that he can complete the task well."

Gu Qingtong was not convinced, but she quickly stopped the doubts she was about to blurt out and turned to choose the best partner to go to Linghai City to investigate.

Shi Dong's perseverance played a decisive role when Gu Qingtong started booking air tickets.

"Okay, I only have one requirement," she said. "No matter what kind of investigative person you face, you must keep a normal mind without personal feelings. Color, judge right from an objective perspective, do you understand?"

"I can do it-" Shi Dong patted his chest and promised, "Sister Gu, just see!"

-

Compared with the dry and windy nature of Jinyang City, the climate of Linghai City is warmer and softer.

The toy factory where Shao Lan and Gao Yuquan used to work is close to the Gold Coast tourist area. On the way to drive, the road was very unsmooth, and the traffic jam alone took nearly an hour to delay.

After getting off the taxi, the police from the Tourism District Branch picked up Gu Qingtong and Shi Dong, and while introducing the factory situation, they received a vaccination: "We have contacted the factory office. Director Li is very difficult to communicate with, so be mentally prepared for a protracted war!"

Breathing the salty air and stepping on the soft beach, getting closer and closer to the target, Gu Qingtong felt a sense of empty feeling of nothingness in her heart.

Before leaving, she had no time to call Ji Heng, and it was impossible for her to free up her hand to send him a message.

My father sent a text message, reminding Gu Qingtong to be safe in the first half, and praised Ji Heng's cooking skills in the second half, implying that he and his mother were very satisfied...

"At this time, the head of the factory office has been waiting at the gate."

Following the finger of the policeman in the same journey, Gu Qingtong saw a familiar face. Isn’t he the logistics director of Huayu School?

"I didn't expect that I was an old acquaintance?" Director Li took a stance to welcome the VIP, "Police Gu, you came to me specifically. Could it be to ask Principal Wu's whereabouts, right?"
