Glorious God Throne

Chapter 16

“Miss Tian Yin, on the morning of June 13th, did you go to Li’s Vegetable and Fruit Shop with the deceased, Gu Fangyou?”

“…June 13th? …I remember now, that day was a Saturday, just when we returned to the old city—every weekend, my father would take me back to visit my grandparents, and we bought some fruit on the way at the vegetable and fruit shop.”

“Do you remember what happened then?”

“Ah, I don’t quite remember…..what do you mean?”

“Do you remember ‘20170309 Xihe’?”

“…What is that?”

“According to the suspect Liu Quan, who is also the owner of Li’s Vegetable and Fruit Shop, Mr. Zhang, Gu Fangyou was holding the fruit and it was inconvenient for him, so you used his phone to scan the code to pay. As a result, you accidentally entered the memo interface, this is the content of the first memo. At that time, Liu Quan was next to you, and from his perspective, he could just see the beginning of this memo.”

The bewildered young girl finally showed a look of sudden realization, recalling and saying, “Oh, it’s that matter. I remember now! When I was checking out, I think I did accidentally enter the memo, and when I exited, I was in such a hurry that I almost dropped the phone on the ground. Fortunately, it seemed that my father didn’t notice.”

The girl showed a slowly recalling expression.

“It does have some relevance. It can only be said that Liu Quan is really meticulous and ruthless…”

“March 9, 2017, Xihe County, this is the time and place where Liu Quan committed the crime that year, he has a deep impression. He has never forgotten it in these seven years of fleeing.”

—So, when he unintentionally saw the beginning of this memo, he was alert at the first moment.

Then, under his careful observation, he found that Gu Fangyou had been quietly observing his every move in the shop, as if confirming something, his eyes were full of scrutiny and suspicion.

He found that Gu Fangyou didn’t even carefully select the fruits in the bag, there were obviously a few that looked small and sour—obviously, buying fruit was just a cover.

At this point, the police paused.

“For several days afterwards, he noticed that Gu Fangyou, who should have been at school, had actually stayed in the old city with his parents and was often observing him in secret…”

Whether it was having breakfast at different tables in the breakfast shop, meeting on the road, or Gu Fangyou going to the vegetable shop to buy vegetables, as long as he paid careful attention, he would find that Teacher Gu, who should have nothing to do with him, always couldn’t help but look at him with unfriendly eyes, as if looking at a hidden criminal.

This feeling made Liu Quan extremely uncomfortable.

“—These were all confessed by Liu Quan afterwards. According to his recollection, there were many such details.”

At this point, the police officer took a sip from his water cup.

With the accumulation of details, Liu Quan, relying on his anti-detection consciousness, determined that Gu Fangyou might have dug up the case from somewhere and suspected that he was the fugitive, but he was not completely sure, so he was observing him in secret—this made Liu Quan murderous!

“Time was pressing, so before Gu Fangyou could confirm his identity and report to the police station, he took the initiative.”

“So that’s how it was…”

Tian Yin murmured, showing an incredulous expression.

In the eyes of the experienced police officer, her shock and realization at this time were definitely not pretense.

Through the comparison of the testimonies of both parties, it was proven that Liu Quan did not lie, and the police completely restored the course of the whole incident.

—Gu Fangyou discovered Liu Quan’s identity for unknown reasons and observed and investigated in secret. Unexpectedly, the memo on his phone accidentally exposed his thoughts, which made Liu Quan on guard and instead took the initiative to kill and silence him.

When Tian Yin walked out of the police station, it was already dusk.

She stood quietly in place, looking up at the sky.

In the gloomy sky hung a ray of rosy clouds, half of the sky was sinking into darkness, and half of the sky was illuminated by the rosy clouds.

“Miss Tian Yin, please wait!”

A voice came from behind, someone caught up with her.

Tian Yin turned around and recognized the person. “Officer Li, do you have anything else?”

Li Fufeng looked at her with a complicated gaze, but spoke frankly. “I just have some doubts about the case. After all, this case is too coincidental.”

He casually enumerated. “Gu Fangyou obviously already suspected Liu Quan’s identity and should have been more cautious about him, but the memo on his phone was not kept confidential, and it happened to be seen by Liu Quan, and the content on it happened to be the most likely to alert Liu Quan, but Gu Fangyou himself did not know that he had been exposed and was killed by Liu Quan without being vigilant…..Everything is as coincidental as a carefully woven story, which is unbelievable.”

Tian Yin frowned, “So, what are you implying?”

“I just suddenly had a bold guess.”

“If Gu Fangyou never suspected Liu Quan’s identity from beginning to end, he naturally wouldn’t be on guard against him.”

“And there is a person who neither of them would suspect.”

“She could easily add to Gu Fangyou’s phone memo; Gu Fangyou trusts her enough, she could influence Gu Fangyou’s thoughts, speak ill of Liu Quan in front of Gu Fangyou, making Gu Fangyou look at him with the eyes of scrutinizing a bad person; she could also let Liu Quan discover the addition to the memo at this time, which could easily cause misunderstandings between the two… all of this is simple for her.”

Li Fufeng word by word, his gaze tightly on Tian Yin, scrutinizing her every expression.

Tian Yin exclaimed, “I didn’t expect Officer Li to have such a wild guess. It does make some sense.”

“For example, if I were to tell my father that ‘Boss Zhang’ harbors ill intentions towards me and has been harassing me, and then convince my father that if he doesn’t believe it, he can observe carefully for a while, my father would definitely believe me, observe in secret, and might even want to quietly find the other party’s handle to deal with him.”

“Right, I could also easily add content to my father’s phone memo, and then deliberately show it to Liu Quan…”

“Thinking about it this way, it really is easy to cause misunderstandings, making him think that my father is doubting his real identity.”

“—Of course, all of this is impossible.”

She sighed and shook her head, “Who could have thought that Boss Zhang would turn out to be a fugitive? It’s even less likely to think that an ordinary memo would have such important significance. If I had known all this earlier, maybe my father wouldn’t have…”

At this point, Tian Yin looked gloomy.

“You indeed didn’t know. But what if the person behind the scenes who was guiding everything knew? He knows Liu Quan’s identity, knows Liu Quan’s character, and knows more clearly that once that memo is shown in front of him, it will arouse Liu Quan’s vigilance and suspicion. Knowing that Gu Fangyou only dares to observe in secret, looking for Liu Quan’s handle, not daring to confront him face to face… he knows how to guide everything step by step towards the direction he wants.”

“Huh?” Tian Yin opened her mouth in surprise, looking at the serious Li Fufeng, as if she had heard some absurd joke that she couldn’t understand, “I thought we were just making a few casual assumptions. Officer Li, you wouldn’t really suspect that I did something based on groundless guesses, would you? The story you told me sounds like a detective novel. Even the big villain who manipulates everything behind the scenes has come out!”

She shook her head with a smile, looking helpless.

“Yes, without any basis.” Li Fufeng nodded, “You can just think of me as talking nonsense, diverging thinking.”

Tian Yin smiled without changing her expression, showing a maturity beyond her age, “No, this is Officer Li’s dutiful performance. You’ve also worked hard for this case!” She looked at the sky, “But it’s not early anymore, if I stay any longer, my grandparents at home will worry, I should go back.”

She nodded to Li Fufeng, turned around and left.

Suddenly, Li Fufeng’s voice came from behind.

“On June 20th, three days after the car accident, you transferred 5000 yuan to an unknown account registered overseas.”

“You respectfully call that person—Doctor.”
