After Gu Xiyan arrived at the police station, two criminal police officers took her into the interrogation room.
"Gu Xiyan, were you at the scene on the day of the incident?"
Facing two pairs of wise eyes, Gu Xiyan clenched her hands nervously.
If she said she was not at the scene, the police would be suspicious, and she was not sure how her mother would explain to the police.
But if she said she was at the scene at the time, would she be considered to be cooperating in the crime?
The complicated thoughts were whirling rapidly in her mind, and Gu Xiyan blinked her eyes.
"I was present, but the incident happened suddenly. At that time, my mother did not really want to kill anyone. It was Zhang Li who provoked my mother with constant verbal provocations. My mother finally couldn't bear the insult and got into a fight with Zhang Li. Zhang Li touched the table
She died of excessive blood loss after the blow, so my mother should be considered manslaughter."
One of the criminal police officers asked: "After the incident, where were you when Zhou Yao was disposing of Zhang Li's body?"
Gu Xiyan took a deep breath with a solemn expression.
"My mind was in chaos at the time. It was the first time in my life that I encountered this kind of thing... I was scared and at a loss. I just wanted to follow my mother. Until she buried Zhang Li's body, my consciousness
I haven’t come back to my senses yet.”
What this meant was that although she was with Zhou Yao at the time, she was in a state of panic the whole time.
After questioning, the police asked Gu Xiyan to leave.
Gu Xiyan breathed a sigh of relief. She stood up and asked, "Comrade police, can I see my mother now?"
"It's not possible for the time being. We will have the right to visit the prisoner only after the suspect is sentenced."
Gu Xiyan nodded, feeling uneasy.
I don’t know how my mother would describe the incident to the police. If she blamed herself for burying Zhang Li, she would also be charged as an accomplice.
Gu Xiyan left the police station uneasily, and when she walked to the road, she saw a familiar figure walking towards her.
The two of them stopped, and when their eyes met, Gu Nanyi's eyes flashed with deep hatred.
As soon as Gu Nan suddenly appeared outside the police station, some things that were difficult to understand at first became instantly clear.
Apart from the old woman, Gu Nanyi was the only family member, so it was probably her who was secretly investigating the cause of Zhang Li's death behind the scenes, and finally found them.
"Gu Nanyi, was it you who reported it to the police?"
Gu Nan looked at her with cold eyes: "You are too self-righteous and think that what you do is perfect, but in fact it is full of loopholes."
"How do you know that Zhang Li's death has something to do with my mother?" She really couldn't understand this.
Zhang Li was just a fertility machine raised by the Gu family. Even Mrs. Gu didn't pay much attention to her disappearance for a few days. Gu Nanyi had never been to the Gu family recently, let alone Zhang Li. How could she know that Zhang Li was dead?
This was really unbelievable. All she could think of was that unless Gu Nanyi secretly arranged for someone to monitor their every move.
Gu Nan suddenly sneered.
"Gu Xiyan, outsiders have said that you have been very smart since you were a child, but now it seems that you are nothing more than that. The last place where Zhang Li disappeared was at Gu's house. Judging from the nearby surveillance footage, Zhang Li was only found entering Gu's house but not her leaving.
The picture, this is enough to show that her sudden disappearance must have something to do with the Gu family. That day, Old Mrs. Gu brought Gu Xiuzhi and Aunt Mei to the crew to cause trouble for me. Only you, Gu Xiyan and Zhang Li were left at home.
Less than half an hour after leaving home, Zhou Yao and you drove out in a hurry and deliberately chose the back door. The fishy nature will naturally attract the attention of the police."
Gu Xiyan bit her lip tightly. It was the first time she experienced such an unexpected situation. She thought they had handled it very well at the time, but now it seemed that they had indeed revealed many doubts.
"Gu Nanyi, it was you who reported this to the police, right? Not only did you want to snatch everything back home, but you also wanted to kill us, mother and daughter. You are really vicious."
Gu Nan chuckled softly: "If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing but yourself. It is natural to kill someone to pay for life. If Zhou Yao doesn't kill someone, she won't be imprisoned again."
Gu Xiyan stared at her with hatred on her face: "If there is anything wrong with my mother, I will never let you go."
"You'd better think about how to save yourself first. If Zhou Yao reveals that you are an accomplice, it will take at least three years for you to start."
Gu Xiyan clenched her hands tightly, panic and hatred intertwined, making her wish she could tear this bitch to pieces immediately.
They were reduced to this, and it was all caused by Gu Nanyi.
She actually said such sarcastic words shamelessly.
Gu Nanyi, I will make sure you die badly. She swore that she would repay this bitch twice as much.

After Gu Xiyan left, Gu Nanyi came to the police station.
Officer Zhang met her in person.
"Nan Yi, Zhou Yao's interrogation record is here, take a look."
Officer Zhang handed the compiled interrogation record to Gu Nanyi, and she reached out to take it and read it quickly.
Judging from the records, Zhou Yao brought all the charges on himself, and kept emphasizing in his words that Gu Xiyan did not interfere in the whole matter, she only witnessed him murder with her own eyes.
In this way, it will be difficult to establish the charge of Gu Xiyan's accomplice.
However, what Zhou Yao said was expected. Although Zhou Yao was a cruel and selfish woman, she did give her all to her daughter. When a disaster was approaching, the first thing she thought of was to protect her daughter.
Officer Zhang placed a cup of tea on the coffee table in front of Gu Nanyi.
"Judging from Zhou Yao's confession transcript, she took all the responsibility for the murder on herself. Although Gu Xiyan participated in the disposal of Zhang Li's body, Zhou Yao said that Gu Xiyan was forced to take her away.
I obviously want to protect Gu Xiyan by saying this. As long as Gu Xiyan is identified as the coerced party, it will be difficult to convict her."
Gu Nan put the written confession on the coffee table: "Officer Zhang, your Dongcheng District police will be solely responsible for this case. I came today to have another matter."
Officer Zhang sat down and looked at Gu Nanyi.
"you say."
"I decided to withdraw the lawsuit against Gu Tingjun and choose to settle."
"Are you going to let him go?" Officer Zhang was a little surprised.
Gu Tingjun did such a stupid thing, even an outsider wanted to give him a fist. Gu Nanyi is not an indecisive character, why did she suddenly choose to withdraw the lawsuit?
Gu Nanyi did not explain too much, and Officer Zhang saw it and did not hesitate to ask. After all, this was the plaintiff's free choice. As a police officer, he must maintain a neutral attitude.
In Gu Nan's opinion, letting Gu Tingjun go has another purpose.
At this time, the Gu Group was completely in his own hands. Zhou Yao killed Zhang Li, and the old lady had a cerebral infarction and was admitted to a nursing home. How should Gu Tingjun, a successful man who claims to be the proud son of heaven, deal with this?
Sometimes punishing a person is not to deprive his body of freedom, but to deprive his mind of freedom.
The moment he walked out of prison was the beginning of the trough of his life.
