Fang Zhizheng gently tugged at Ye He Shun's sleeve, and Ye He Shun immediately understood, promptly asking Cao Xilan, "I’d like to know, where did that vase come from?"
Cao Xilan replied irritably, "My husband and I bought it after we got married. What's wrong? Can’t we have a vase at home?"
"Oh right, right!" Gao Yuanqian seemed to just remember, "I almost forgot. We bought the vase after our marriage, but I don’t know how it ended up with Huan Huan... Hey!"
Fang Zhizheng suddenly asked, "You got married in Chongqing, right?"
"Yes, so what? My husband and I met in Chongqing and got married there. You're a consultant for the police; why do you keep asking such silly questions? Is this the level of your consulting? I suggest you find someone with better judgment; don’t waste our taxpayer money," Cao Xilan scolded.
Ye He Shun scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed as he chuckled, "He’s doing it voluntarily; he doesn’t charge."
Fang Zhizheng felt his head buzzing and shook it in exasperation.
That night, Ye He Shun and Fang Zhizheng sat again at Shuifang Teahouse, discussing the case.
The case was too bizarre, with very few clues. Ye He Shun sought Fang Zhizheng's advice out of sheer desperation.
Watching Fang Zhizheng sitting across from him like a leader sipping tea made Ye He Shun feel like a novice reporting to him. It was quite an uncomfortable feeling since they both graduated from the police academy.
Ah, but who could blame this guy for being sharper than himself?
"... After investigation, we found that Gao Yuanqian moved from Shenzhen to Chongqing 20 years ago and married Cao Xilan, who had always lived there, a year later. Coincidentally, Lu Kao and Chen Yingqiong also got married 20 years ago and came from Shenzhen; they only arrived in Chongqing 10 years ago. We contacted Shenzhen Jinghua Craft Factory and learned that their ceramic products are mainly for export. You need certain connections locally to purchase them; they won’t be sold inland."
Preliminary judgment suggests that Cao Xilan is lying; the vase could not have been purchased by them after their marriage in Chongqing. The design isn’t particularly special, and it would be strange for Gao Yuanqian to buy an ordinary vase while on a business trip to Shenzhen. Ye He Shun reported in detail.
After Ye He Shun finished speaking, Fang Zhizheng, having finished a plate of sunflower seeds, finally spoke up, “If that’s the case, perhaps Gao Yuanqian knew Lu Kao and Chen Yingqiong in Shenzhen? He’s so opposed to his daughter associating with Lu Ming; could there be some past conflict?”
“I don’t see it. Chen Yingqiong used to work as a teacher in Shenzhen, just like Lu Kao. They were said to be classmates and ended up marrying because of that. Gao Yuanqian worked as a laborer in an auto parts factory in Shenzhen and didn’t achieve much, which might be why he returned to Chongqing.
Back then, teachers were far more respected than laborers, but now the status of both families has completely reversed. Gao Yuanqian has become an enviable successful figure, yet he opposes his daughter’s relationship due to class differences.
It’s also possible that Gao Yuanqian knew them before but felt looked down upon because of his worker status, which left him resentful. Now he might be seeking revenge.”
As Ye He Shun spoke, he unconsciously furrowed his brow, his expression grave, hands gesturing in the air as he tried to sort out the clues in his mind.
Fang Zhizheng couldn’t help but chuckle at this and teased, “You’re just overthinking it. If Gao Yuanqian really hated them that much, would he spend a fortune to break up Gao Huan and Lu Ming?” He gently waved his hand with a warm smile, seemingly trying to soothe the somewhat anxious Ye He Shun.
“Ah, it really is chaotic,” Ye He Shun sighed helplessly, leaning back against his chair with confusion in his eyes. The more he thought about it, the more he felt there was something inexplicably odd about this case.
