That's right, the old man must be talking about Qin Su asking about her family's land sale.
Gu Nianzhi's palms were sweating, and the teacup on her palms seemed to be on fire, burning her palms.
Gu Nianzhi calmly put the tea cup on the coffee table in front of him, then sighed softly and said: "... That's such a pity. This is fate, why can't they wait another half year?... "
"Yes, it's all fate." The old man nodded with emotion, "At that time, there was no news about establishing a special economic zone in the small fishing village of Z City. Who would have known that the higher-ups would make such a move?"
"We teach in the same school as him. His relatives immigrated abroad in the early years. When the People's Republic of China was first founded, you also know the situation at that time... Anyway, he was the only one who decided to stay in the country. His family decided to move to Z City The land in the small fishing village over there was left to him. It was just a thought and not worth much. Who knew he would sell it... Sigh... "
Gu Nianzhi's eyes flashed slightly.
The old man seemed not to think that Qin Huichang had any reason to sell his land.
"... Did your colleague need money urgently at that time?" Gu Nianzhi thought about what was written on the official website of Qin's Private Hospital Group. It said that the founder of the hospital, Qin Baye, spent 100% more than the market price at that time. The land was bought for thirty percent.
It was also exaggerated that in order to acquire this land, Qin Baye not only sold all his family's properties and used up all his savings, but also borrowed a sum of money from a loan shark before buying it from the "lion's big mouth" Qin Huichang and his wife. This land.
Of course, the words "the lion opens its mouth" are the implication that Gu Nianzhi figured out. Their official website does not use such straightforward sentences to describe the original landlord Qin Huichang and his wife.
He just spent a lot of space describing how the couple repeatedly made things difficult for them to raise the price, but Qin Baye refused to give up and called them over and over again. Only then did he "impress" them and finally agreed to sell the land.
The Spring and Autumn style of writing in this description is very obvious, and it is very derogatory to Qin Huichang and his wife. It makes the image of Qin Baye, the founder of Jianlu Lanlu, who worked hard to start a business, even more tall and powerful.
Gu Nianzhi's question was very sharp. The old man may be old and his memory is not very good. He frowned and thought for a while and said, "I can't remember clearly. It seems that there is, and it seems that there is not... "
Gu Nianzhi: "..."
If you have it, you have it, if you don't have it, you don't have it.
It seems to be there, but it seems not to be. What do they mean
Huo Shaoheng coughed lightly and said, "Can you explain it more clearly? It seems that there is, what is the situation? It seems that there is not, what is the situation?"
The old man looked at Huo Shaoheng blankly, and then at Gu Nianzhi. He felt that there was something there, but he couldn't remember why it was there. They obviously shouldn't need money urgently...
After a while, the old man showed a stunned look and whispered: "I am too old to remember clearly. I can't tell what happened. There is only one girl in their family, and both husband and wife are university professors. We have our own house, so we should not be short of money. But I vaguely remember that they seemed to be short of money... "
Gu Nianzhi was also confused.
But this old man is almost ninety years old. It is completely normal that he cannot remember things decades ago clearly.
She wanted to try harder and try to guide the old man to remember more things, but Huo Shaoheng stopped her with his eyes.
"It doesn't matter. If you can't remember, don't think about it anymore. We're just curious, so just ask." Huo Shaoheng calmly changed the subject and pushed the small muffin on the coffee table to the old man.
The old man took a small muffin, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.
He has no teeth and now has dentures, so he has very little sense of taste.
Gu Nianzhi could only sigh and said, "Then this family is quite pitiful. Three members of the family were killed in a car accident like this?"
After finishing a piece of muffin, the old man wiped his hands with a paper towel and said, "Oh, that's not true. Their little girl survived. How old was she then? Anyway, it was quite miserable. Later, she was sent to an orphanage. Adopted.”
Gu Nianzhi looked surprised, "Ah? Really? It's been so long, do you still remember?"
"How can I not remember this?" The old man looked regretful, "I can't remember their family's situation clearly, but I still remember their little girl. She was such a cute and lively little girl before. She was eloquent and well-spoken. She was studying ballet. When she was little, she wore a pink ballet skirt and came to our office with her father, calling her "uncle" and "aunt", which made everyone so happy!"
Gu Nianzhi suppressed the excitement in her heart and said hurriedly: "What a cute little girl? I like her very much too! Do you have any photos of her when she was a child to show us how cute she is?"
The old man shook his head and said regretfully: "No. It was not easy to take pictures at that time. Where is it like now, where you can take pictures with your mobile phone anytime and anywhere? - She didn't come a few times. I still remember it because later she was too It’s so miserable, my whole face was burned by the fire, it looks like a ghost...”
The old man said with red eyes, "It was even published in the newspapers back then, which shocked everyone and caused a huge sensation in the society. Many people went to the hospital to see the little girl, and gave her flowers, clothes, and For food, our teaching and research office also organized several donations. Later, when we learned that she had a legacy, we stopped donating."
Gu Nianzhi took a long breath, thinking that he finally understood one of the key points...
Therefore, Qin Baye's suspicion has increased.
She and Huo Shaoheng then accompanied the old man and talked about other things. They didn't leave until the old man was so sleepy that he almost fell asleep.
Following the members of the street volunteer group, they left the nursing home and returned to their community. Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng found an excuse to sneak away and walked around several times before returning to their penthouse apartment in Xicheng District.
As soon as Gu Nianzhi entered the door, he rushed to the bathroom and washed off all the modifications on his face.
This kind of thing is really harmful to the skin.
A small red rash appeared on Gu Nianzhi's fair and tender face.
Huo Shaoheng took a tube of ointment for her and carefully applied it on each small red rash, while saying, "Today's harvest is not small."
Gu Nianzhi said "hmm", lay on Huo Shaoheng's lap, closed his eyes and said, "I finally figured it out. If it was really Qin Baye and the others who did it, why didn't they just kill Qin Suwen."
"He was seriously injured in a car accident, and then entered their orphanage. He casually killed him to avoid future troubles. This is what a sophisticated person would do."
Huo Shaoheng also figured it out, screwed the lid on the ointment and put it in the small medicine box, and said quietly: "The car accident must have become a big news, and Qin Suwen became the object of social attention. If they try to kill her again, I'm afraid they will be When people see that there is something wrong, they startle the snake and cause trouble."
"Yes, that's the reason!" Gu Nianzhi opened his eyes, looked at Huo Shaoheng and said, "You and I want to be together!"
Huo Shaoheng smiled slightly and looked at Gu Nianzhi's fair little face, which was dotted with red rashes and covered with a layer of white ointment. He didn't find it ugly at all. Instead, he thought it was playful and cute.
Gu Nianzhi didn't look in the mirror and didn't know what she looked like now. She sat up from Huo Shaoheng's lap and said excitedly: "So Qin Baye's suspicion has increased!"
"Basically, it can be concluded that he was the one who did it." Huo Shaoheng said thoughtfully, "What we lack is direct evidence."
Back then, Qin Suwen was stumped at this point, so he chose to "stop the investigation", right
Gu Nianzhi stood up from the sofa, walked around in the living room, and began to restore the truth they learned.
"... First of all, it should be Qin Baye who has taken a fancy to that piece of land and wants to buy it."
“Then go to the owner of the land and start negotiating the price.”
"Qin Huichang and the others definitely don't want to sell. Judging from his colleagues today, they are not short of money, but for some unknown reason, they agreed to sell the land again."
"And it's not cheap, so I subjectively think that Qin Huichang and the others needed money for something at that time."
"After selling the land, he returned to City C. According to the old man's recollection, there should have been a car accident soon. Qin Huichang and his wife were killed, and Qin Suwen was seriously injured and disfigured."
"Then he was adopted by an orphanage in City C. Then, the director of the orphanage in City C was exposed as embezzling the orphans' property and was sent to prison. He committed suicide in prison five years later."
"C City Orphanage was later acquired by Qin's Orphanage. Qin Suwen grew up in Qin's Orphanage...until he went to college and was mistaken for Qin Yaoguang by the young General He because of his back."
When Gu Nianzhi said this, he paused and asked doubtfully: "... Why does Qin Suwen's back look similar to Qin Yaoguang's?"
Huo Shaoheng sat on the sofa with his long legs stretched out, his whole body was in the backlight, his elbows were propped on the armrest of the sofa, and his chin was propped up with one hand, and he thought deeply: "The degree of similarity must be extraordinary if He Chengjian can admit his mistake."
Gu Nianzhi couldn't figure out what kind of similarity it was, and he didn't bother to think about it anymore. He said, "I'll ask Mr. He when I have the opportunity later."
As a son, he can definitely tell how similar he is.
Huo Shaoheng glanced at her and said calmly: "You think of He Zhichu as your adviser. If you don't understand anything, just ask him."
"More than just a consultant, he is my senior advisor!" Gu Nianzhi blinked slyly. Seeing that Huo Shaoheng didn't like the way she mentioned He, Gu Nianzhi changed the topic and continued: "Let's go back to the whole land purchase incident. There are some doubts that need to be resolved.”
"First, why did Qin Baye suddenly fall in love with that piece of land? Is it just pure luck? - Just bought this piece of land, and half a year later it was included in the special economic zone?"
"Second, why did Qin Huichang and the others agree to sell the land instead of not selling it? Did anything happen in between?"
"Third, why is Qin Suwen's back similar to Qin Yaoguang's? How similar is it? Is this a pure coincidence?"
"Look, we only listed three questions, and two of them are related to 'coincidence'. Tsk tsk..." Gu Nianzhi sneered, "Qin Baye and Qin Yaoguang are really going to go to heaven. This luck is simply the 'chosen son' 'ah… "
