Si Qingyang collected several fingerprint samples, but after passing the identification, it was indeed found that they were the fingerprints of two people, one of which belonged to Jiang Wanning, but the other fingerprint was unknown.

Jiang Wanning lives in an old-fashioned community, without even a guard, and there is no surveillance system installed, so it is difficult to tell who the other person lives in Jiang Wanning's house. Even the neighbors don't know that there are two people living in Jiang Wanning's house. It made Gu Mengping feel even more strange. Could it be that the people around didn't notice it at all when he was living alone in this house?

"How is Wu Zhen's ex-wife doing?" Gu Mengping asked.

"Wu Zhen's ex-wife is called Li Fang. She is the only daughter in the family. She has no other relatives. Her parents died early. She married Wu Zhen with the inheritance left by her parents." Mu Fan said.

"Then Wu Zhen got a big deal?" Zhou Yi added from the side.

"No, things are not that simple. The Li family was on the verge of bankruptcy at the time. Li's father suffered from mental illness. He couldn't think about it for a while, so he pulled his wife and jumped off the building and committed suicide. Wu Zhen took over the Li family at that time. , it can be considered that it took years of painstaking efforts to sit in this position." Mu Fan shook his head and said.

It all happened decades ago. The reason why Wu Zhen gained a good reputation is that he and his husband and wife are deeply in love with each other, and they are inseparable and inseparable. The woman Jiang Wanning came out. It is said that Jiang Wanning is somewhat similar to Li Fang, otherwise Wu Zhen would not be with her.

Thinking about it this way, Gu Mengping thinks it is not surprising that Jiang Wanning is sitting in the position of secretary. If Wu Zhen is really a nostalgic person, looking at someone so similar to his dead wife, it would be more or less caring, but if Jiang Wanning is really a vase, it would be fine. , it is obvious that this Jiang Wanning is not only not a vase, but also a very capable person. Jiang Wanning's family has a lot of English books and periodicals, which cannot be understood by a high school student. If she is really a self-taught person, it will be fine , but Gu Mengping checked, Jiang Wanning's grades were not very good when she was in school, otherwise she would not have graduated from high school and would not have studied.

The Li family had long since ceased to exist, and the boundaries of Li's company had already been pushed back and rebuilt other high-rise buildings. Gu Mengping felt that he could have started the investigation from Li Fang, but now he had no way to start.

In the afternoon, Gu Mengping contacted Wu Hai to take a look at the old house of the Wu family. Before Wu Zhen retired from the company, he always lived in the old house. He only started to live outside after he retired in the past few years.

The main reason is that Wu Hai and his brothers and sisters were still living in the old house before, but none of them liked Jiang Wanning, so Wu Zhen moved out by himself, and occasionally went back to live there. After he moved out, the brothers and sisters also moved out one after another. After coming out, the Wu family is considered to be scattered, and occasionally they go back to have a reunion dinner during the holidays.

It is said to be an old house, but it is just a large villa that has been built for more than ten or twenty years. It is still different from any rich family. Although Wu Zhen is a low-key person, this house has also been decorated with a lot of money.

The old butler is over 60 years old, and his body is strong, but his eyes are sometimes not so good.

Wu Hai has already explained, let the policeman investigate casually, and the old butler can just help open the door.

Gu Mengping looked at several rooms, then turned around and said to the old housekeeper, "Why didn't you see Madam's things?"

Let alone a relic, Gu Mengping couldn't help feeling a bit strange that there wasn't even a single photo.

"The master was afraid of seeing things and thinking about others, so he burned some of them. There are still some things belonging to the wife in the basement." The old housekeeper said.

After listening to it, Gu Mengping felt that what the butler said was also reasonable.

"Can the old man take us to have a look?" Gu Mengping asked.

"Of course it's okay. It's just that no one has been to the basement for a long time, and it's dusty. Don't mind the two of you." The old housekeeper has also been a housekeeper for so many years, and he can be regarded as a bit strict. Looking at the clothes of Si Qingyang and Gu Mengping It didn't feel like a simple little policeman, but he was more or less polite.

The door of the basement was opened from the outside, and there was a small iron door in the corner. The housekeeper searched for a long time before he found the key. After entering, there was a spiral staircase, and the light was turned on. There was nothing in the basement, but old things piled up , not much.

"Madam's belongings are almost burnt, and that's all that's left." In the basement, the old butler brought out a dusty box that hadn't been opened for a long time.

Si Qingyang took the box from the old man and moved it to an open place outside. Gu Mengping opened the box, and there were books and diaries inside.

"Why haven't these things been burned?" Gu Mengping asked.

"This was put in before Madam passed away. I'm afraid the master didn't know about it, and I was afraid that the master would be sad when he saw it. I didn't mention it again. It has been released for ten years. If it wasn't for the water leak in the basement some time ago, I would have forgotten it too." There are still some things under here." The old butler touched the crutch in his hand, and said every word clearly.

"Then I will take these things away first, and tell Wu Hai that we will come back in a few days." Gu Mengping put the lid on and said to the old man.

"Please, I will tell the young master." The old housekeeper replied.

Gu Mengping nodded and signaled Si Qingyang to stuff the suitcase into the trunk, and the two left the Wu family's old house.

On the way, Gu Mengping was thoughtful.

"What do you think of the old housekeeper?" Gu Mengping asked.

"Gentle personality." Si Qingyang replied blankly.

"What else?" Gu Mengping asked again.

"There are many lies." Si Qingyang added four more words.

Gu Mengping was taken aback after hearing this, and then he was happy.

"Where did you see that?" he asked.

"The basement is covered with thick dust, and there is no trace of water leakage." Si Qingyang said.

Gu Mengping nodded. Indeed, he also thought of this point, but he still felt a little strange.

He had read it just now, and it was indeed some old books, not like a fake thing, so why did the housekeeper lie?

And the words of the housekeeper sounded in his mind, he said, "How can a person who seems to be quite normal get mentally ill?"

Although the butler just said something casually while walking, Gu Mengping just felt that the butler said it to him on purpose. The butler must know something, but he didn't want to say more, otherwise he should have explained everything just now.

"Brother Meng Ping, where did you find such a box? It's broken like this!" When Si Qingyang put the box on the table, a large cloud of dust rose up, and Zhou Yi coughed twice before asking.

"Wu Zhen's family moved here, come and help us to see if there are any valuable clues." Gu Mengping took out the things from the box and put them on the table one by one.

Most of the boxes are full of books. It seems that Li Fang was a person who loved reading, and there were many annotations on the books. Looking at the beautiful handwriting, Li Fang should be a gentle person.

There is an old photo at the bottom of the box. Although it has turned yellow, it is well preserved because of the film. The woman and elder in the photo has a beautiful face, with gentle eyebrows and eyes, and a faint smile on the corner of her mouth. With a smile, she is only in her twenties, and everything looks so beautiful.There are indeed some similarities with Jiang Wanning in appearance, but there is only a little similarity. Jiang Wanning's eyebrows and eyes are a little more forceful, not so gentle.

"Who is this?" Zhou Yi leaned over and asked.

"Li Fang, Wu Zhen's ex-wife." Gu Mengping replied.

"Really? Wu Zhen's ex-wife is quite pretty." Zhou Yi said.

Gu Mengping turned back, took the photo and tapped Zhou Yi's head, and said, "Is this the focus of attention? Have you found anything?"

"Brother Meng Ping, your ashes fell on my head, I just washed my hair!" Zhou Yi jumped away and wailed.

Gu Mengping looked at him and thought it was funny, he still looks like a child no matter how old he is, but because of Zhou Yi's arrival, the originally dull serious crime team seemed to have more vitality, not as groggy as before. Zhiyuan has praised him several times, but the number of compliments is too many, the kid's butt is almost up to the sky, that small appearance...

"I found Li Fang's case." Zhou Yi said.

Hearing this, Gu Mengping raised his eyebrows and brought over the case in Zhou Yi's hands. It was written that Li Fang was diagnosed with severe mental disorder.Not much was written on the yellowed medical record card. Gu Mengping glanced at the date of inscription, and his brows frowned even deeper.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Yi's expression also became more serious.

"Li Fang knew she was mentally ill before she was sent to the hospital," Gu Mengping said.

"And then?" Zhou Yi said.

Isn't this quite normal, Li Fang has an ancestral mental illness, when Wu Zhen and Li Fang got married, everyone knew that Li Fang had a mental illness.

"Don't you think it's strange? A mentally ill person who has been married to Wu Zhen for so many years has never had a single attack, and the only attack directly killed her." Gu Mengping said.

According to the understanding of Li Fang before his death, in the memory of the people around her, Li Fang never had an illness, and the brothers and sisters of the Wu family also said that they had never seen their mother suffer from an illness.

The old housekeeper's words sounded in Gu Mengping's mind again, he felt that these things did not make sense, and he suddenly felt that there might be another hidden reason behind Li Fang's death.

He put down the case in his hand and continued to search for the things in the box. He pondered in his mind, and a grid-like image gradually formed in his mind, but there were still some things missing.

Suddenly, his hand stopped, looking at the yellowed paper in his hand, his face became more dignified than ever, shaking the ashes on the paper, he read the two pages seriously.

"There must be something wrong with Li Fang's death." Gu Mengping said in a heavy voice.

"What's going on?" Zhou Yi felt strange.

"This is the case of Li Fang's father, both of whom suffer from severe mental disorders," Gu Mengping said.

"Isn't this quite normal?" Zhou Yi still didn't understand.

"The point is here, the cases of Li Fang and her father are both from the same hospital, after more than ten years, the cases of the two people are almost exactly the same, even the handwriting on the cases is the same Yes, isn't that strange?" Gu Mengping said.

Li Fang's mental illness has other secrets. Either one of these two cases is fake, or both are fake!
