Zhou Yao froze on the spot with a face full of shock. When she came to her senses, handcuffs were already on her wrists.
"I did not kill anyone. I was wronged. Comrade police, you arrested the wrong person."
Officer Zhang stared at her coldly: "Surveillance equipment is installed in this house, and everything you just said will be used as evidence."
Zhou Yao's heart was shocked, and she turned to look at "Zhang Li" behind her.
At this time, "Zhang Li" had a faint smile on her face and reached out to touch her chin. Soon, a human skin mask was pulled off along her chin, revealing a familiar face.
"Gu Nanyi, it's you pretending to be Zhang Li? How dare you, a little bitch, plot against me?" Zhou Yao rushed towards Gu Nanyi madly.
Several police officers saw this and immediately controlled her.
Gu Nan raised his cold eyebrows slightly, showing a bit of ridicule.
"You will be punished for your own sin. If you had not killed Zhang Li, you would not have confessed."
"I didn't. I didn't kill the person. What evidence do you have that I killed Zhang Li? Maybe Zhang Li is still alive and well somewhere. You are deliberately framing this. Gu Nanyi, it must be you who joined the police.
The purpose of framing me is to completely occupy the Gu family's property, right?"
"You are so poor that you only care about the little property in the old lady's hands. What other property does the Gu family have that is worthy of me doing this?"
Officer Zhang said solemnly: "Zhou Yao, Zhang Li's body has been found. Her cause of death was cerebral hemorrhage. There was an obvious triangular wound on her forehead. It is initially determined that she hit an angular place and caused massive bleeding. We
I have gone to the villa you sold for comparison and found that her wounds exactly match the corner of the coffee table in the living room of the Gu family. Moreover, judging from the surveillance video on the day of the incident, there was only a video of Zhang Li entering the Gu family but no scene of her leaving. On the contrary,
Not long after, I saw you and your daughter driving to Nanhongshan, and Zhang Li’s body was found in the valley of Nanhongshan.”
Hearing this, Zhou Yao's eyes turned gloomy, and he seemed to have lost his soul, and instantly collapsed on the ground.
Her body trembled slightly and she whispered: "It's over, everything is over."
Her dream of immigrating was completely shattered, and what she would have to face next was murder, and she would be sentenced to death or life imprisonment.

Gu Xiyan held Jiang Mochen's hand and walked out of the hotel door. At this time, Jiang Mochen's cell phone vibrated.
He took out his phone and took a look. There was no name on the phone screen. Seeing this number, Jiang Mochen looked a little unnatural and his eyebrows tightened.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he hung up the phone decisively and turned off the phone.
Gu Xiyan looked at him curiously: "Is this a work phone?"
"Well, I got a call from a customer who wanted to do business with Jiang, but I rejected him. He has been trying to contact me for the past few days."
Jiang Mochen casually made up a lie. It was already past nine o'clock in the morning, and the sun was already very bright at this time in summer.
Gu Xiyan did not put on sunscreen and covered her forehead with one hand.
"Brother Mo Chen, let's go have breakfast together."
Jiang Mochen pondered for a moment: "Let's go, there is a breakfast shop opposite."
The two of them crossed the road together and came to a breakfast shop with high-end decoration.
After Jiang Mochen sat down, he looked at Gu Xiyan opposite, somewhat hesitant to speak.
He was completely unconscious last night and vaguely remembered that they did not take protective measures during their intimacy.
He wanted Xiyan to buy emergency contraceptive pills, but he didn't know how to ask for it.
The breakfast ordered was delivered to the table, and Gu Xiyan looked at him tenderly.
"Brother Mo Chen, what are you thinking about?"
Jiang Mochen's slightly drooped eyes slowly raised: "Xiyan, we didn't take any protective measures last night. I'm worried that..."
He didn't finish his words because the smile on the girl's face disappeared instantly.
Gu Xiyan remained silent and sneered secretly in her heart.
No wonder he felt worried all morning. It turned out that he was worried about this.
Haha, it's really ironic. I remember that every time they were intimate before, he would say sweetly in her ear that he wanted her to give him a child.
Only half a year later, he was already worried about whether she would become pregnant.
"Don't worry, I'll go to the drugstore to buy birth control pills soon."
Jiang Mochen nodded awkwardly.
Neither of them was in the mood to eat. After a few simple bites, Jiang Mochen personally accompanied Gu Xiyan to buy birth control pills at a nearby drugstore, and then he felt completely relieved.
Then, on the pretext that something happened in the company, he sent Gu Xiyan to her studio and then drove away in a hurry.
After Gu Xiyan came to the studio, her face instantly turned cold.
She was the only pianist. She stepped on high heels and came to the desk, letting out the anger that was squeezed in her heart.
She frantically pushed the clutter and books on the table to the floor. Because of the violent movements, her long, silky hair was in disarray, like a madman.
Before the anger dissipated, the hand in the bag started ringing again.
She took out her phone and took a look. It was Master Li, the Gu family's driver.
Since the Gu family villa was sold, everyone else has been sent away.
But Zhou Yao can't drive, so Master Li is still her driver.
Taking a deep breath, Gu Xiyan pressed the answer button.
Master Li's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Miss, something bad has happened. My wife was taken away by the police."
"What?" Gu Xiyan's expression was suddenly shocked, and her scalp felt like an electric shock.
Master Li said: "Just this morning, I took my wife and old lady to a nursing home. Not long after, two police cars rushed over, and my wife was directly caught in the police car and taken away."
Gu Nan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately knew what was going on.
This incident is probably related to Zhang Li's death.
She looked pale and felt very flustered.
Zhang Li was buried in the valley, and they dug a big pit to bury her, and then covered it with a layer of weeds. There were few people there, and even the nearby villagers rarely went there, so it was impossible for the body to be buried.
people discovered.
The old man couldn't save himself now, and had to rely on the two of them to survive. He had no extra energy to find Zhang Li's whereabouts. She couldn't understand how the police could find them so quickly.
What should I do?
After my mother is caught, she will probably confess herself, and then she will not be able to escape.
Gu Xiyan's mind was full of ways to deal with it, but she couldn't find a better way after thinking about it. Just when she was feeling anxious, a call came in from the Dongcheng Police Department.
Seeing that the call alert was from the police station, Gu Xiyan's hands holding the phone began to tremble uncontrollably.
Calm down, be calm.
If you act too panicked now, you will only reveal your flaws.
Taking a deep breath, she pressed the answer button and said in as calm a voice as possible: "Hello?"
"Is it Gu Xiyan?"
"Well, I am, who are you?"
"We are from the Dongcheng Criminal Police Brigade. Your mother Zhou Yao has been arrested on suspicion of murder. We need you to cooperate with the police to assist in the investigation."
Gu Xiyan's heart tightened: "My mother is suspected of murder? This...how is this possible?"
The detective on the other side of the phone said, "The specific situation will become clear to you when you come to the police station."

Nursing home
After seeing off Officer Wang and others, Gu Nan looked at the old woman with white hair in front of her.
In the past, Mrs. Gu had always been very proactive about her appearance. Even though she was getting older, she always insisted on dyeing her hair and always kept her hair black. She also liked to wear gold and silver and dress up like jewels.
At this time, she was wearing a set of simple clothes, and her hair had returned to its original white color. She had undergone a major surgery, and she was in a depressed mood. She looked extremely thin and haggard, and her eyes and cheeks were seriously sunken. In just a few days,
It's like a different person has changed.
Mrs. Gu was sitting in a wheelchair, with some complicated emotions in her cloudy eyes.
"you……"
She opened her mouth to say something to break the tense atmosphere, but she didn't know how to say it.
After Zhou Yao left the hospital yesterday, this girl suddenly appeared in the ward and told her that Zhang Li was killed by Zhou Yao.
She would never have believed it before, but judging from Zhou Yao's recent behavior, Zhang Li's disappearance was definitely related to her, so she was anxious to cash out the property in order to escape legal sanctions.
, the only way to save herself is to immigrate overseas. As long as she leaves this country's household registration, even if the police investigate her in the future, she has already become a citizen of other countries and is no longer subject to the restrictions of Chinese laws.
After learning about this incident, her first thought was that she could not let this vicious woman abscond with the money.
It is natural to kill someone to pay for life, and what she committed was not just murder.
Gu Nan's expression was deserted, and he looked at Mrs. Gu as if he were a stranger.
"Zhou Yao has helped you prepay five years' rent in advance. You can live here with peace of mind. I have contacted Aunt Mei and she will rush back to Pingcheng tonight. I have already explained to the agency that from now on
Aunt Mei will take care of your food and daily life. Her salary agency will pay it on your behalf."
Mrs. Gu looked at her with confusion: "Why do people in the organization pay Aunt Mei a salary?"
Gu Nan didn't explain: "If nothing happens, I'll leave first."
"Wait a moment." Mrs. Gu hurriedly called her.
Gu Nan stopped and turned back coldly.
"Anything else?"
Mrs. Gu's face was a little embarrassed and a little hard to say.
"Nan Yi, I treated you so badly before, why did you still save me?"
Gu Nan suddenly sneered, his expression calm and indifferent.
"I'm not helping you. I actually knew about Zhou Yao's murder of Zhang Li a long time ago. On the day Zhou Yao buried Zhang Li's body on Nanhong Mountain, I led people to find Zhang Li's body.
, the reason why I arrested her now is just to make her have great respect for the future. I want to make someone suffer, just when she is about to stand on the pyramid of success, let her fall from the height to the bottom in an instant. Save you.
It’s just within this layout.”
Hearing Gu Nanyi's heartless words, Mrs. Gu felt as if her heart was being weighed down by a huge boulder, and her breathing became heavier.
As soon as Gu Nan finished speaking, he turned around and left indifferently.
"I won't see you again in the future. Just ask Aunt Mei to give me the diary. I will let Gu Tingjun out in a few days."
Mrs. Gu's eyes instantly became sore, and tears fell down one by one.
Watching the girl leave, she sat motionless in the wheelchair, with many memories of the past ten years constantly reappearing in her mind.
Wave after wave of thoughts hit her stubborn thoughts for decades. The person she thought was reliable suddenly changed her face. Instead, it was the person who hated her to the core and spoke evil words to the extreme, but she was the most difficult person in her life.
