Chapter 1000: Re-organizing the clues
Fu Nanzhou's eyes were as sharp as torches, his dark pupils were slightly narrowed, and his slender fingers were tapping lightly on his crossed legs. There was no sound, but there was a strong sense of rhythm.
He thought carefully about Pei Shaoqing's words, and after a moment he gave his answer, "If it was Ge Dali who did it, Wei Wushuang wouldn't be alive. He would have died on the spot. The killer is used to killing with one strike. If he hadn't shown mercy, Wei Wushuang's carotid artery would have been completely severed."
Pei Shaoqing's eyebrows sank, confused, "Why did that old woman Tan Xiangyun do this? She let Ge Dali cut Wei Wushuang's throat, revived her, and then imprisoned her for so many years. What did she want? If your father knew that Wei Wushuang was alive, it might be to threaten your father, but obviously, no one knows that Wei Wushuang still exists in this world, so it makes no sense to do this. I really can't understand Tan Xiangyun's motives at all."
Fu Nanzhou shook his head, also full of doubts.
The two of them walked in silence all the way. Halfway through, Pei Shaoqing went to meet Qin Xiaoru, and Fu Nanzhou returned to the Shen family by himself.
Seeing Fu Xizhou standing at the door, Fu Nanzhou was slightly surprised. He asked Ding Yu to stop the car and said, "Go back."
"Okay, Mr. Fu." Ding Yu agreed, and occasionally checked the gossip behind him while driving.
Fu Nanzhou walked towards Fu Xizhou, "Why, do you need me for something?"
Fu Xizhou smiled, his tone somewhat mocking, "Is it not okay for me to come to see my cousin and my little nephew?"
"Then why don't you go in?" Fu Nanzhou raised his eyebrows.
Fu Xizhou sneered, "Does it have anything to do with you?"
"Of course it is related. If you want to see Xixi, then go in. Don't even think about letting Xixi come out to see you. She's in confinement after childbirth." Fu Nanzhou's tone was cold, and he did not stop his tit-for-tat because of the complicated relationship between them.
Fu Xizhou leaned against the door with a wicked look, lowered his head and lit a cigarette, "Isn't it weird for me to go in? We have the same father, but my biological mother is Xiaojiu's biological aunt. Even TV dramas don't dare to play it like this."
Fu Nanzhou's handsome face became even more tense. If possible, he hoped that Fu Xizhou was not Fu Heng's biological son!
However, at this moment he remembered something and asked casually, "Your family of three is reunited. Your grandparents must love you very much. Why don't you stay with them?"
Fu Xizhou's eyes flashed coldly, and his voice instantly became gloomy, "What does it have to do with you? Are you jealous? That's right, dad doesn't love your mom, and your mom died a long time ago, and you are jealous of me."
Fu Nanzhou's expression froze, and he immediately sneered, "I'm jealous of you?! What am I jealous of? I'm jealous of you being treated as a guinea pig by Tan Xiangyun?"
"Third brother, are you looking for death?" Fu Xizhou's eyes were bloodshot, with a strong smile on his lips, but his cold and bone-chilling voice and the creepy arc made people shudder.
Fu Nanzhou sneered, "If anyone is going to die, it should be my second brother. If nothing is wrong, go back to the hospital. Your parents are here, there's no need to waste time here."
Fu Xizhou threw away the cigarette butt and stomped it out. Before jumping into the car, he turned around and gave a bloodthirsty smile, "Indeed, enjoying parent-child time makes people happy. Unlike you, the third child, your father doesn't love you and your mother is dead. It's so miserable."
Fu Nanzhou's gaze was like a three-foot-thick ice sword, full of murderous intent.
He is not so naive as to engage in a verbal battle with Fu Xizhou.
Moreover, the fact that Fu Xizhou came here seemed to send him a signal that Fu Xizhou and Wei Wushuang did not seem to be close.
Blood is thicker than water. Even if they didn't know each other existed for more than 30 years and couldn't adapt to this kind of relationship, Fu Xizhou shouldn't have reacted like this, right?
When having dinner with the Shen Yuntian couple in the evening, Fu Nanzhou was also worried and it was obvious that he was troubled by something.
After dinner, the two went upstairs together. Lu Xi finally couldn't help asking, "What did you do with Brother Pei today? Why did you come back like this? It's like you suffered a blow?"
Talking about today's events, Fu Nanzhou sighed heavily. He knew that he could not hide it from this little woman, so he simply took out the photos.
Lu Xi's pupils suddenly trembled, and his voice tone rose slightly, "Was there anyone at the scene?!"
Fu Nanzhou nodded and told Lu Xi the details of the process narrated by the old man.
After hearing this, Lu Xi was completely confused. There seemed to be a bunch of question marks in her head. The previous flash of inspiration did not completely solve the mystery, but now she was completely bewildered and her brows were tightly furrowed.
"You said..." Lu Xi wanted to bring up the topic, but after saying only these two words, she forgot what she wanted to say.
She was not present on the day when they broke into Tan Xiangyun's lair, nor had she seen what kind of ruthless killer Ge Dali was. But how could he be an ordinary person if he could train her sister and Second Brother Fu?
Since they chose such an extremely brutal method as cutting the throat, it must have been to ensure that there would be no mistakes. Could it be that they failed accidentally?
"Is it possible that Ge Dali didn't show mercy, but that he failed?" Lu Xi asked back. Although he knew that the possibility was extremely small, sometimes the more unlikely something is, the more likely it is to happen.
Fu Nanzhou asked her back, "Why did you fail?"
Lu Xi was at a loss, and after thinking for a while, "Why not ask my aunt? After all, it's her personal experience, and there may be details that we don't know."
Fu Nanzhou frowned, "Let me think about it."
He did not agree, out of instinctive resistance, and he couldn't explain why.
The couple each had their own concerns, and Lu Xi tossed and turned the entire night.
In the middle of the night, Fu Nanzhou turned on the night light and looked at Lu Xi with concern, "Can't sleep?"
Lu Xi opened her eyes, her eyes were clear and bright, without a trace of sleepiness, "You didn't sleep either?"
"I'm not asleep." Fu Nanzhou hugged Lu Xi into his arms and let out a long sigh, "I have something on my mind, I feel so depressed."
"Me too." Lu Xi turned sideways and rubbed her little face against Fu Nanzhou's neck, finding a comfortable position. She put her hand on his chest and was naturally held by Fu Nanzhou.
The two of them are getting more and more in tune with each other like a couple.
Fu Nanzhou asked softly, "Are you also thinking about Tan Xiangyun?"
"Yes, there are a lot of questions that I can't figure out. I don't want to think about them, but they are stuck in my heart. If I don't figure them out, they will stay stuck here. I can't breathe. It's so annoying." Lu Xi couldn't help complaining.
Fortunately, Jiabao is really easy to worry about. Except when she is feeding, she sleeps most of the time. She cries softly and is very well-behaved. Otherwise, she would really go crazy.
Hearing her say this, Fu Nanzhou felt even more distressed, "You are still in confinement, but you still have to go through these terrible things. It's my fault."
"It's none of your business. You're just an ordinary person. You can't predict the future or know the past. There are many things you can't control. You are more handsome than an ordinary man and wiser than other men, but you are also a human being."
Fu Nanzhou's heart was warm and filled with happiness. He was so lucky to marry such a smart and considerate wife. He couldn't help but promise, "Xixi, I swear, I will try my best to figure out everything."
"Well, I will try my best! I won't feel at ease until I figure it out."
Fu Nanzhou suddenly let go of her hand and slowly sat up, "I'll go to the study."
"What are you doing in the study so late?" Lu Xi frowned.
Fu Nanzhou said in a deep voice: "Since you can't sleep, instead of thinking about it here, why not go back to sort out the clues again, maybe you can make some new discoveries?"
