Chapter 19 Car Accident 19

  When Qin Fei woke up, the outside was already bright. The unfamiliar room, the sunlight outside shone on the falling curtains, forming a warm halo. Qin Fei stared blankly at the curtains for a while, then slowly raised his hand to cover his eyes.

  He had that dream again, the pitch-black dream. It's not like there was any content to speak of, he just saw a sea of blackness without anything specific, but every time he sank into that darkness, he felt an irrepressible anger and sadness. Since losing his memory of that day seventeen years ago, he would occasionally dream of that darkness, then be overwhelmed by the intense emotions, unable to immediately escape from that desperate feeling... It's really terrible!

  About this dream that has been with him for many years, Qin Fei vaguely knew that it might not be a dream, but the memory he lost. Because he couldn't remember anything, so he couldn't see anything.

  Qin Fei lay motionless on the bed for a while before sitting up, changing into his sleepwear and staring blankly for a while before heading to the bathroom to wash up.

  He opened the door and had just walked out of the room when he saw an old man with gray hair and beard walking towards him.

  "I'm the steward of the Gu family, my surname is Shao. The young master has gone out to buy things, what would Master Qin like for breakfast?"

  Qin Fei's mind was a bit muddled at this time, thinking about who the young master was who went out to buy things. He stared blankly at Manager Shao for a while before reacting and realizing that the old manager was still waiting for his response.

  "Porridge..." Qin Fei scratched his head and said in a low voice.

  "Alright, Master Qin, please wait a moment." Shao's housekeeper seemed to have completely ignored Qin Fei's slow response, turned around and poured him a cup of tea on the coffee table, telling him to watch TV in the living room for a while, that breakfast would be ready soon, before turning around and entering the kitchen.

  After Shao Guan entered the kitchen, Qin Fei still stood in place without moving. After a while, he walked to the sofa in front of the coffee table and sat down, casually turning on the TV, then hugged the cup of tea that was still steaming hot and began to stare blankly.

  The TV is currently reporting some news.

  On November 9th, at 7:00 am, the police in S city found a girl's body in the bamboo forest behind Tengyun Mountain.

  At 8:40 that morning, the girl's body was transferred to the forensic department. Preliminary investigation found that the girl died more than a month ago due to severe impact, suspected to be caused by a car accident. In addition, some skin scales and hair were found on the zipper of the travel bag and on the body, which did not belong to the girl. After DNA comparison, it was confirmed that those skin scales and hair belonged to Zhang Jianqiang, an employee of Chengxi Bank.

  As soon as the appraisal report came out, the police arrested Zhang Jianqiang as a suspect.

  The head of the city police investigation team interrogated and investigated the case of a girl's body being abandoned in the wilderness. In front of the identification report, Zhang Jianqiang struggled for a while before finally confessing that he had accidentally hit and killed the girl with his car over a month ago, and in a panic, chose to abandon her body in the wilderness.

  After Zhang Jianqiang admitted to abandoning the body after the car accident, the forensic team cleaned the surface of the travel bag containing the child's body and found that its style was the same as the one used by the robber in the bank robbery case in Chengxi a month ago to hold cash. The investigation team leader asked Zhang Jianqiang about his involvement in the robbery case, but he denied it firmly.

  In that robbery case, three people died. Unlike the accidental death of a girl in a car accident, it was intentional murder. Zhang Jianqiang knew very well that if he admitted to participating in that bank robbery case, he would be guilty of robbery and intentional homicide, and there would be no room for him to turn back. His life would be over.

  The news was explaining the direction of the investigation that the S city police would take next, when the sound of the door opening was heard, and then Qin Fei heard the voices of Gu Wenkai and Zhang Zhixin coming from outside.

  "Ah, Qin Fei is here! You're just like a mother hen guarding her chicks." Gu Wenkai walked into the living room, pushing aside Zhang Zhixin who was chattering nonstop in his ear and making his head buzz, and nodded slightly at Qin Fei sitting on the sofa.

  Zhang Zhixin returned to S city this morning and didn't see Qin Fei at home, nor could he reach Qin Fei's phone. He then rushed to Weichen Bookstore to look for him. However, Qin Fei was not there either. Shen Wei and Xie Zhe at the bookstore only knew that Qin Fei had gone out with Gu Wenkai yesterday afternoon. Xie Zhe helped contact Gu Wenkai, who was busy dealing with a case where a girl's body had been brought back to the police station as the first discoverer of the body. It turned out that the person who hit and killed the girl was a suspect in a bank robbery case, and the time of the girl's death coincided with the time of the robbery. Gu Wenkai tried to find clues about the robbery from the car accident, but he was too busy to take a break until Zhang Jianqiang admitted to being the perpetrator of the car accident but denied participating in the robbery. Only then did Gu Wenkai have some free time and brought Zhang Zhixin to look for Qin Fei.

  Qin Fei saw Zhang Zhixin and greeted him with a smile. Zhang Zhixin looked Qin Fei up and down, muttering to himself, and finally concluded: "You don't look very well."

  Gu Wenkai followed him and looked at Qin Fei's face for a while, then stretched out his hand to poke his face and said: "Your face looks stupid now, did you sleep silly?"

  "Third Master." The housekeeper came out of the kitchen.

  "Shao Bo? How did you come to S city?" Gu Wenkai withdrew his pointing finger at Qin Fei, stood up straight and looked at Shao Guan's gaze with respect.

  Shao Guan Jia is an elder of the Shao family, and to Gu Wen Kai, he is like a senior. In addition, Shao Guan Jia has a certain status in the Gu family, and can directly order him around, except for the head of the household, who is also the orthodox heir. Therefore, Shao Guan Jia addresses Gu Wen Kai as Third Young Master, but addresses Gu Yin as Young Master, rather than Eldest Young Master.

  "Young master told me to bring some things from our house." said Shao Guan Jia calmly.

  Gu Wenkai didn't ask Gu Yin what Shao was carrying, and after chatting with Shao for a few sentences, Shao turned around and went back to the kitchen.

  "What Young Master, Third Young Master? Were you born into some ancient family?" Zhang Zhixin glanced sideways at Gu Wenkai after seeing Shao the housekeeper enter the kitchen.

  "I was born into a family of practitioners!" Gu Wenkai sat down next to Qin Fei, picked up the remote control on the tea table and started flipping through channels. Gu Wenkai knew that Zhang Zhixin, who lived with Qin Fei, was also an insider, and the Qi family's Town Soul Symbol he saw at Qin Fei's place last time was probably brought by this old man with a goat beard. So he said so, and this Third Uncle must be able to understand.

  "Gu's family?" As expected, Zhang Zhixin was taken aback for a moment, and his face changed color. "You're referring to that Gu's family?"

  "It's exactly the kind of family man you thought he was." Gu Wenkai said.

  Zhang Zhixin is also a person who walks on the boundary of yin and yang, so he naturally knows about the Gu family in the circle. This circle has both individual operators and family-style inheritances. Many family-style inheritances have ancient inheritance histories, and among these families, there are four most famous ones: the Gu family, the Geng family, the Ren family, and the Qi family.

  "Ahem!" Zhang Zhixin cleared his throat and said dryly, "Oh, that Gu's family..."

  Zhang Zhixin and Gu Wenkai stared at each other for a while, then Zhang Zhixin was the first to look away. He said to Qin Fei, "Qin Fei, let's go back. Third Uncle will make some delicious food for you."

  "Wait! You should know that Qin Fei's soul is unstable, right? Qin Fei, wait for my brother to help you find the reason before going back," said Gu Wenkai.

  "I'll find out the reason too!" Zhang Zhixin said with a pat on his chest.

  "Oh? You think your abilities surpass mine?" A low, mocking voice came from the living room door, and the person who spoke was none other than Gu Yin, who had just returned from outside.

  Zhang Zhixin was first stunned by Gu Yin's face for a moment, and then hesitated to ask: "You... who?"

  Gu Yin looked at Zhang Zhixin with a cold face, "Shouldn't I be asking this question?"

  As soon as Gu Yin's voice fell, Zhang Zhixin on this side really started to introduce himself in a very formal and proper manner, "Cough! My surname is Zhang, the Zhang of Zhang Fei, my name is Zhixin, the Zhixin who knows the old and the new."

  "Alright, I'm quite sure I don't know any old rascal by that name. Now you can get out of here." Gu Yin said as he walked towards his own room with the paper bag.

  After Gu Yin entered the room, Zhang Zhixin leaned over to Gu Wenkai and asked in a low voice, "Is he your brother?"

  Gu Wenkai: "Yes!"

  "You guys don't look alike at all."

  Gu Wenkai: "......"

  "What's his name?"

  "That's Master Gu Yin." replied Shao Guan Jia, who was carrying a bowl of porridge and walking out of the kitchen.

  Gu Yin, the successor of the Gu family... Zhang Zhi Xin stroked his goatee thoughtfully.

  In the end, Qin Fei still didn't stay with Gu Yin. He was affected by the ghost energy and wasn't suitable for soul searching within a short period of time. The three-day appointment with Gu Yin had to be postponed.

  What surprised Gu Wenkai was that Gu Yin didn't try to persuade Qin Fei to stay, he could clearly see that his brother's gaze at Qin Fei meant he wanted to keep him there, but after Qin Fei decided to return to his own place, he didn't say a word to coerce or entice him. When did his brother learn the good virtue of respecting others' decisions?

  However, Gu Wenkai didn't have much time to investigate Gu Yin's abnormality. The robbery case a month ago finally broke through with Zhang Jianqiang admitting that he was the perpetrator of the girl's traffic accident, and it had a real breakthrough.

  The day the bank robbery occurred was a stormy afternoon. The police found the car abandoned by the robbers on the next morning after they escaped in it. This wasn't an impulsive robbery, and the abandoned car was a stolen black car with no useful leads from its license plate number. However, during the investigation of the car, the police discovered some bloodstains on the back seat, which were initially thought to be from one of the robbers, so the blood test data was kept. On November 10th, the forensic department found that the bloodstains on the black car belonged to the girl who was killed by Zhang Jianqiang.
