Pass Through 80s: A Notoriety

Chapter 617: Finding the truth

Lian Qizhen's worries were not unreasonable. Even though Gu Baoshan looked calm on the outside, he was always worried in his heart.

 In fact, as early as after Zhu Weidong's accident, the Zhu family had already arranged for people to investigate. Xiao Li was Zhu Weidong's assistant. Since Zhu Weidong's accident, he had never returned. Privately, some people said that he had been put down.

 Some people say that what happened to Zhu Weidong is inseparable from Xiao Li.

Anyway, there are all kinds of rumors, and the rumors are getting more and more intense, but the higher-ups have no intention of stopping them. As time goes by, some people have good brains and taste something else.

Sure enough, within a month, people on the construction site were called to talk to each other one after another. It was people from the bureau and the Public Security Bureau. After the talks, they were told what they were not allowed to say to outsiders.

 After being warned, who dares to speak out?

 It made people panic for a while.

The original discussion about Zhu Weidong in private suddenly stopped.

Lian Qizhen felt cold all over when she was called over. When she entered the leader's office and saw the people sitting inside, she hesitated.

She thought she had done a good job of covering it up, but one of the men caught her eye. Coincidentally, this man was none other than Rong Junjie.

He went here on a business trip and met a friend who was from the Public Security Bureau in the capital. He heard that the person who was in trouble was Zhu Weidong, so he came with him after finishing his work here.

He shouldn't have appeared on such an occasion today, but when he was about to get up, someone had already come in. He could tell at a glance that the woman seemed to be scared, although she hid it well.

"Hello, we are here to do some research. Can you please tell us what you were doing the night Comrade Zhu Weidong had the accident? Is there anyone around you who can testify?"

The leader of the bureau also spoke at the side, "Engineer, don't be nervous, this is just a normal question."

Lian Qizhen smiled bitterly, "Director Wang, it was too late that night. Everyone went to bed early, and my assistant was beside me."

"Is your assistant's last name Mo?" the person from the Public Security Bureau asked, and then pulled out a few pieces of paper, "Mo Xiaoxiao?"

"is her."

“You said you went to bed that night, can she testify?”

Lian Qizhen hesitated for a moment, "I stayed up that night and fell asleep when I came back. She should be able to testify for you."

"But just now you said you went to bed directly and didn't talk about the night."

Facing Duoduo's questioning, Lian Qizhen blushed and said, "I don't think there's anything special about getting up at night."

"Any small thing may be a clue. So about what time did you get up at night? Is there anything special around you?"

"I forgot what time it was. After I was informed to rest where I was, everyone went to the convenience store. I saw that there were fewer people, so I went over and returned to the convenience store."

 “Did you go because you saw that there were fewer people going, or because no one was going?”

“I will go only if no one has left.” Lian Qizhen was overwhelmed with questions.

She didn't dare to lie, for fear that someone would go there, and she couldn't tell who the person was, and the time wouldn't match up, which would attract attention.

 “How long have you been away and come back? Did you notice any movement around you when you came back?”

 “About five or six minutes, no.”

This time, the people above did not ask any more questions, but dug out other materials to check. The room was very quiet. Even Qizhen's heartbeat was so fast that it seemed to jump out of her body. She couldn't show it on her face and pretended to be calm.

Time passed little by little, and finally, the people above looked at her again, "We also asked many people here, some of them said they were the last to go, and some said they saw you come back."

 At this point, the words stopped.

Lian Qizhen hummed, "I didn't pay attention to this."

"But the other party noticed that it was you. According to the location mentioned by the other party, it should be the place where you and your assistant Mo Xiaoxiao were resting. And after you, a man came out from the grass, so you didn't notice it when you were there. Anyone else?"

 Lian Qizhen’s fingers slowly curled up under her sleeves, “No.”

The other party observed her expression and nodded to her, "Okay, you can go back."

 Lian Qizhen nodded, stood up and left.

 The door straps on his body also blocked the sharp sight behind him.

 Inside the room, Rong Junjie asked the bureau leader, "Director Wang, how is the relationship between this company engineer and Zhu Weidong?"

"The two families are family friends." After Director Wang answered, he thought for a moment and added, "Engineer Lian likes Zhu Weidong, and many unpleasant things happened on the construction site. This time, the new project here is planned to be Engineer Lian." She didn’t come, but she applied for it herself.”

People from the Public Security Bureau also became interested and asked Director Wang to elaborate.

 Zhu Weidong was lost, and Director Wang also hoped to find useful clues to find the person as soon as possible.

 So I told him everything he knew in detail.

Hearing that Lian Qizhen was close to Gu Baoshan from the accounting department, and that Gu Baoshan and Zhu Weidong were also familiar with each other, Rong Junjie wrote down the names of several people and drew lines between them.

Afterwards, Rong Junjie and his friends analyzed, "Now it seems that the person who has a grudge against Zhu Weidong is Lian Qizhen. Another one is Gu Baoshan. I know Zhu Weidong's lover Ji Ling, and I also know about her. Gu Baoshan's lover I was a classmate with Ji Ling, and our relationship was never very good when we were in school."

After hearing this, Rong Junjie's friend understood, "Leave this matter to me. Gu Baoshan was very close to Zhu Weidong. We originally regarded him as a key suspect. However, some people below also reported that Zhu Weidong kept far away from Gu Baoshan in the later period. It doesn’t rule out that Gu Baoshan might have resentment in his heart and do something harmful to others.”

Rong Junjie wanted to go back. He was also worried about Ji Ling and wanted to stop by to have a look. It turned out that Ji Ling had already returned to the capital because she was pregnant. He didn't stay too long. He said hello to his friends and left.

Lian Qizhen has been feeling uneasy since being questioned. She wanted to find Gu Baoshan several times, but was afraid of being stared at. She could only use her eyes to signal the other person to look for her when they met at work.

Gu Baoshan didn't seem to see her hint. Even Qiqin waited for several days and didn't wait for Gu Baoshan to come to find her in private.

Looking at the people on the construction site being questioned one by one, Lian Qizhen fell ill under the shock of the high pressure.

Gu Baoshan finally went to the clinic to see her on the pretext of controlling his illness.

Assistant Mo Xiaoxiao was there. When he saw Gu Baoshan coming, he smiled and said hello. Gu Baoshan handed over the fruits he bought.

"Engineer, let me wash some for you. You have lost your appetite these days."

"Okay." There was no need for Lian Qizhen to find an excuse to send the person away. The assistant left on his own. After watching the person leave, even Qizhen did not dare to speak rashly, "You are very busy over there, so there is no need to come and see me so politely."

"You're sick, why don't you come over and take a look." Gu Baoshan smiled and sat down. The curtain was drawn on the other side of the bed. Gu Baoshan shook his head at her, indicating not to say more.
