The Reluctant Bride

"I believe her."

"It's useless if you believe it. It's true if everyone believes it." Du Xinghua's expression was serious: "Bring her back to ask."

"Uncle Du." According to the report, Gu Xuewen looked eagerly: "You believe me, she really doesn't know."

"Even if she really doesn't know, it's not the first time you have handled a case. I don't need me to remind you what to do in the procedure? Besides, if Wen Xuejiao really asked her to trade, she can stand up. Testify against Wen Xuejiao, at least we can catch Wen Xuejiao. Do you understand?"

"Uncle Du." Let Zuo Panqing testify against her biological mother? He was not sure whether Zuo Panqing would be willing or not: "She is really innocent."

"I said, innocent is not innocent, it is not you who has the final say. It is me who has the final say."

"..." Du Xinghua didn't want to listen to what Gu Xuewen wanted to say, and waved his hand: "That's it. I don't want to sign an arrest warrant. You can bring her back. Just ask, if she is really innocent, neither will we Good people will be wronged."

Watching Gu Xuewen standing still, he put the report back in his hands: "This report is done again. Also, things must be checked out."

Gu Xuewen took the report that took the whole morning to make, finally nodded and left.

Back in his office, he sighed, not sure whether Zuo Panqing is at home or going to work. No one answered her phone. After thinking about it, he picked up the car key and left quickly.

Entering the door, Gu Xuewen walked directly to the room, his eyes swept over the breakfast on the table inadvertently. The note was still there, and the breakfast didn't move at all.

Frowning slightly, he quickly walked toward the room. After entering the door, Zuo Panqing was still lying on the bed.

"Zuo Panqing?" It's already afternoon, still sleeping? Do not eat or get up until you sleep? .

Gu Xuewen stepped forward and wanted to wake her up. As soon as he touched her skin with his hands, he found that it was terribly hot.

"Zuo Panqing?" The hand touched his forehead, as terribly hot. Gu Xuewen picked her up, only to realize that her body was red and her whole body was hot.

Zuo Panqing is sick?

Gu Xuewen couldn't care about taking her to the bureau for questioning, so he randomly found two of her clothes to put on her. He picked up Zuo Panqing and quickly sent her to the hospital.

………………

On the hospital bed, Zuo Panqing was dripping. She seemed to sleep very restlessly when she was asleep. Frown together. His face flushed unnaturally. .

Gu Xuewen was sitting by the bed, holding her hand, her palms were also very hot, even though the doctor had cooled her down, the temperature did not drop.

There is no sign, suddenly become so seriously ill? Gu Xuewen didn't know what he was thinking. Just squeezed her hand and put her hand to her lips.

"Zuo Panqing. Be strong." Is it valuable to make yourself like this for an unworthy woman? Gu Xuewen is not her, unable to understand the pain and entanglement in her heart.

The phone vibrated a few times at this time and looked at Zuo Panqing on the bed. He didn't want to wake her up, so he took the phone and went outside to answer the phone.

It was from a strong son.

"Boss. Well, Mr. Du asked me to ask you, when will I bring my sister-in-law?"

Wu Da did not admit that he was here to trade with Zhou Qicheng. Take the charge of drug trafficking one shoulder. Wen Xuejiao stayed out of the matter, and the only thing that could drag them into the water was for Zuo Panqing to testify.

"I will explain this to Mr. Du. You should check other cases and clues first."

"I see." Qiangzi added before hanging up the phone: "Boss. You are our idol. Don't let us down."

Gu Xuewen looked at the hung up phone, and couldn't recover for a while. What do you mean?

Qiangzi thought he knew all this? He thinks so? Does it mean that everyone else in the team thinks the same way?

The expression suddenly became complicated. Going back to the room and looking at Zuo Panqing, Du Xinghua's words rang in his mind. He said that Zuo Panqing probably knew that Wen Xuejiao wanted her to sell drugs. The way comes and goes.

In this regard, Gu Xuewen absolutely believes in Zuo Panqing. But if he hadn't stopped him, Zuo Panqing had really become a drug dealer. If it reaches that point, even he can't save her.

Sitting down in front of the ward, Gu Xuewen couldn't sit still. There were a lot of things in the bureau. Zuo Panqing needs someone to take care of her here.

After thinking about it, he took out his cell phone and called Wen Xuefeng, asking her to take care of Panqing. After Wen Xuefeng arrived, he took the car key and left.

……………………

Back to the General Administration. Gu Xuewen was called by Du Xinghua again. He looked at him with a serious expression: "Why didn't you bring Zuo Panqing? Do you know if you protect her like this, I can let you withdraw from this case?"

"I didn't protect her." Gu Xuewen explained to herself calmly: "She is sick and in the hospital. Mr. Du, she really doesn't know about this. You believe me."

"I believe in you, but please give me evidence to trust your wife. If you can't, please withdraw, and I will ask someone else to handle the Zhou Qicheng case. You are not responsible for this anyway."

Du Xinghua spoke very directly, and Gu Xuewen suddenly became silent. Qiangzi did not believe him, Du Xinghua did not believe him. He can understand these.

But he must not withdraw from the investigation of this case, for so long. He came to City C for three years and fought with Zhou Qicheng for three years, just to arrest him.

How can he give up?

"Mr. Du." Gu Xuewen raised his head and looked at Du Xinghua a little more firmly: "Give me a few days. I will prove it to you. Zuo Panqing has nothing to do with this matter."

"Okay." Du Xinghua nodded: "I'll give you three days. Three days, if you can't prove Zuo Panqing's innocence, then not only her, but your job, I don't think you need to do it again."

This is already his face to Gu Zhiqiang. You know, it is impossible for a policeman who has a relationship with the suspect to handle the case. He believed that Gu Xuewen would also understand.

"I know. I will find the evidence."

Gu Xuewen turned and left. But his heart was not as calm and cold as he showed.

Find evidence to prove Zuo Panqing's innocence? Do you believe it alone?

Hands clenched into fists. Before Gu Xuewen entered the office, he saw Qiangzi standing at the door: "Boss? How's it going?"

Gu Xuewen rubbed his eyebrows, feeling tired for the first time: "Qiangzi. Take a few people and bring Wen Xuejiao back."

"Wen Xuejiao?"

"That's right." Gu Xuewen nodded: "As long as she doesn't escape abroad, bring her back. I will interrogate her personally."

"Yes." Qiangzi turned and left. Gu Xuewen's expression is still serious. Can he find other stronger evidence? Prove Zuo Panqing's innocence?

Wen Xuejiao was brought over soon. But just as Gu Xuewen thought, she looked innocent and puzzled while sitting in the interrogation room.

"Drug trafficking? Mr. Policeman, this is a serious crime. You can eat more food, don't talk nonsense. If there is no evidence, I can sue you for defamation."

"Wen Xuejiao." Gu Xuewen stared at the woman's face in front of him, wishing to tear her. But reason calmed him: "You had a call with Wu Da on your cell phone last night. If you didn't contact him. Then please explain why there is this call record?"

He thought of the call records temporarily. Before Qiangzi brought Wen Xuejiao back, he called up all her call records. ,

Wu Da after entering China. I bought a temporary contact card. Among the physical evidence brought back by Gu Xuewen's teammates, Wu Da's mobile phone is of course indispensable.

In the phone's address book. There was no contact with Zhou Qicheng once, but three contacts with Wen Xuejiao. He has every reason to believe that this transaction was planned by Wen Xuejiao.

"What are you talking about?" Wen Xuejiao was at a loss: "That call is from a drug dealer? Sorry, maybe you made a mistake by accident."

"Wen Xuejiao, one call will make three wrong calls, who are you lying to?"

"Well, you may have to ask your wife." Wen Xuejiao smiled, smiling very proudly: "I am not feeling well these days. She is with me and takes care of me. Sometimes I walk away, it is her. Take my cell phone and answer the phone. Who does she contact and how do I know? Maybe, the drug dealer she contacted?"

"Wen Xuejiao." Gu Xuewen's voice was very cold: "Then you should also explain, why are the money in the box all your fingerprints?"

"This?" Wen Xuejiao smiled: "Panqing said she had no money, so I gave her the money. You know I abandoned her in the early years and have always felt guilty about her. Don't talk about money, even if she wants it. I will also pick the moon in the sky and give it to her."

"Wen Xuejiao." Gu Xuewen has a good temper. At this time, it also broke out: "Are you a human? Panqing is your biological daughter."

"Yeah. She is my biological daughter. But she has committed a crime now. How can I shield her as a mother? I can be a good citizen. Comrade police—"

Gu Xuewen's hands clenched into fists tightly. If it weren't for the last trace of reason, he believed that he would definitely beat Wen Xuejiao directly regardless of whether she was a woman.

"Are you still okay? If it's okay, I can leave first."

"Boss?" said the strong son who had been on the side of the jury. I don't know what to do now.

"Detain her for twenty-four hours." Gu Xuewen stared at Wen Xuejiao's face: "You can hire a lawyer, and I will definitely find evidence. Prove that you are guilty."

"Twenty-four hours. I'm not afraid." Wen Xuejiao stood up, with a bit of pride in her eyes: "I'm waiting for you to find the evidence. Put your wife in. Hahahahahaha."

"Bring it on." Gu Xuewen couldn't calm down, Qiangzi nodded and took Wen Xuejiao away from the interrogation room. Gu Xuewen thumped off the table bitterly and was numb with his fist, but he didn't feel any pain.

Wen Xuejiao. Zhou Qicheng. I will make you pay.

……………………

Throw away those thoughts. Gu Xuewen hurried back to the hospital. Now she is the only one who can help Zuo Panqing. He wanted to ask every detail that she was called by Wen Xuejiao that day.

After going to the hospital, Zuo Panqing was still asleep. Wen Xuefeng sat in front of the hospital bed and quickly stood up when he saw him coming.

"Study. Don't you have a mission?"

"It's okay for the time being." Gu Xuewen shook his head, walked to the bed and looked at Zuo Panqing: "She has been sleeping until now?"

"No, it's just because she keeps talking in sleep, crying pain." Wen Xuefeng saw her daughter like this for the first time.

His eyes were a little puzzled: "Study, how can you be so ill?"

"I'm not good." Gu Xuewen looked guilty: "She was too tired yesterday. I didn't wipe her hair clean and put her to bed."

"She seemed to woke up just now, with a painful expression. She kept calling her mother." Wen Xuefeng didn't mean anything else. I just feel a little worried: "You guys, have you quarreled?"

She knows her daughter's personality, and sometimes she is a bit petty. Talking to my parents is not big or small, and it is more likely to be to Gu Xuewen.

"Mom, she—"

"Panqing's character is a bit anxious. We are also to blame for spoiling her. But she is definitely not bad in nature. You should bear more about studying, don't be familiar with her."

"Mom. I'm not for that reason. I—"

Gu Xuewen didn’t know what to say,

She knew very well in her heart that if she told the truth, she would hurt her. After all, she definitely didn't want Zuo Panqing to recognize Wen Xuejiao and be killed by her.

Looking at Zuo Panqing on the hospital bed. Now I am afraid that it is not enough. The matter has reached a very serious point. He can't find evidence anymore, I'm afraid Zuo Panqing is going to go to jail.

But briefly talked to Wen Xuefeng about what happened yesterday, and watched her look dumbfounded. Gu Xuewen was also very uncomfortable.

"Mom. I don't know why things turned out to be like this. But this is the situation now. If there is no evidence to prove that Wen Xuejiao harmed Panqing, I'm afraid Panqing will—"

Paid the price for my actions.

Wen Xuefeng's body softened and collapsed on the chair motionless. Looking at the bed blankly, the face had turned pale, Zuo Panqing was shocked.

"She, is she a human? How can she? Panqing. Panqing is her own daughter."

Twenty-five years, without paying attention. Give such a big gift as soon as I come back. Wen Xuejiao. How much do you hate me and Zhenggang so that you can harm Panqing like this?

"mom--"

What Gu Xuewen wants to say. There was a hum from outside the ward. Two people looked over at the same time. Zuo Zhenggang was standing at the door with a thermos pot beside his feet, lying on the ground. The soup inside spilled out.

"You, what did you say?"

Zuo Zhenggang didn't believe what he had just heard. The figure suddenly became trembling, and he stepped into the ward step by step, staring at Gu Xuewen's face.

"What are you talking about? Panqing drug trafficking?"

"Dad. Calm down." Gu Xuewen wanted to say something. Zuo Panqing on the hospital bed was awakened by these movements. Slowly opened his eyes, not knowing where he was. open one's eyes. I saw a few people standing by the bed.

Gu Xuewen. dad. mom.

"Dad. Mom?"

I want to get up. Zuo Zheng just slapped her face with a slap. Zuo Panqing's body weakened and fell on the bed.

"Dad." Gu Xuewen was stunned. Unexpectedly, Zuo Zhenggang would do it.

…………………………

The second one today. sweat. I am going out. good weather. The children said I took them to the park to play. I'm leaving. Continue tomorrow.
