The Disowned Young Lady Married a Homicide Detective - Chapter 46

“I talked to the principal for a long time about this matter, and it was because of this that Teacher Chen revealed the child’s biological father in order to help me out of this predicament.”

“But Dong Yunzhou just wouldn’t admit it, and even in front of Teacher Chen, he said that the man who had actually slept with her was Dong Ruiyang, not him.”

“The matter is too complicated, and I don’t know the details. Due to excessive grief, Teacher Chen committed suicide not long after leaving her job.”

Teacher Yu’s voice choked up as she said this, “She aborted her child and jumped from the top floor of the hospital. You can find out which hospital it was at by doing a simple search.”

“Teacher Chen is truly a wonderful person. Without her, how could I have achieved what I have today?”

The shop assistant looked at Teacher Yu and gently patted his shoulder to comfort him, “Alright, Teacher Yu, you’re not young anymore, why are you still crying like a child?”

Hearing this, Teacher Yu cried even harder.

People who work as kindergarten teachers tend to have strong empathy and spend a lot of time with children, so it’s inevitable that they become somewhat sentimental.

“After Chen Yuzhu died, did anything happen in your garden?” Gu Yezhou gradually began to guide the conversation.

Whenever Teacher Yu thinks about the cause of Chen Yuzhu’s death—the child was gone, and so was her life—she feels helpless.

He felt sorry for the girl from the bottom of his heart. “Yes, Teacher Chen’s death surprised many teachers. It was during summer vacation, and we had two months off. The principal organized us to go hiking, and the two brothers, Dong Ruiyang and Dong Yunzhou, also went.”

“One of them was a security guard, who ostensibly wanted to protect us teachers who were not very athletic.”

“Actually, he kept teasing the other female teachers along the way, and the new principal was one of the people he teased.”

“But the new headmistress wasn’t like this in her early years. She dressed very plainly, and Dong Ruiyang’s eyes were never on her. I really don’t know why the old headmistress kept him around.”

As she spoke, Teacher Yu began to complain.

It turns out that the hike was suggested by the former headmaster, a way to get out of the province, relax, and strengthen the bonds between colleagues.

However, the old director did not go that time.

“Later, an accident happened and Dong Ruiyang went missing. When our group found Dong Yunzhou, we found him on the edge of the cliff. We were so scared that we couldn’t move.”

Teacher Yu recalled with lingering fear, “Dong Yunzhou seemed to have fainted at that time. Small stones on the cliff edge kept rolling down. Among everyone, I was the most senior, so I gritted my teeth and pulled Dong Yunzhou back from the edge of the cliff.”

“After Dong Yunzhou woke up, he kept shouting things like, ‘Find my brother, find my brother.'”

“We didn’t know what was going on at the time, and I don’t know when they got to the top of the mountain.”

“Dong Ruiyang is missing. Dong Yunzhou said his brother fell off the mountain. We immediately contacted the person in charge and the search and rescue team, but after searching for several days, we still couldn’t find Dong Ruiyang’s body.”

“When school starts in September, more than a month will have passed, but many of us still remember it and still feel that something is a little strange about it.”

“At the time, the only people on the mountaintop were the two Dong brothers. Regardless of who went missing, both of them are suspects, officer, don’t you think so?”

As Teacher Yu spoke, she glanced at Gu Yezhou and Sang Ning’s expressions.

The two people looked calm and expressionless.

“After all, it’s a matter between two brothers. I’m just an outsider. I helped Dong Yunzhou back then, and he’s always remembered that kindness.”

“Up until now, which is three years ago, when the new principal took office, he originally wanted to ask me to leave, but Dong Yunzhou put in a good word for me, so I stayed.”

“As for whether Dong Ruiyang’s disappearance is related to Dong Yunzhou, I don’t know.”

“I am a grateful person, but I really can’t accept Dong Yunzhou’s kindness. I can only say that I saved him once, so we’re even.”

The shop assistant next to him nodded repeatedly, “It’s okay, there’s nothing wrong with what you think. If Teacher Chen’s child is really Teacher Dong’s, then he’s a scumbag. He doesn’t want to take responsibility and tries to push it onto his brother. How can a person be so bad!”

Teacher Yu smiled wryly, “To be honest, I’ve always had doubts about whether Dong Yunzhou actually pushed the person off the mountain. But they are brothers, and we were just taking pictures at the edge of the mountain at the time, so we didn’t hear any screams.”

“It was hot at the time, and there were very few tourists climbing the mountain, so I suspected…”

He looked nervously at Gu Yezhou. This man had barely spoken since he sat down, his face cold and his presence incredibly intimidating.

“I only suspect it; I didn’t see it with my own eyes…”

Seeing that Teacher Yu was stammering, Sang Ning said impatiently, “Just say what you have to say, even if it’s just your guess.”

“I suspect he killed his brother. Later I inquired with the person in charge of the mountain area and found that some places are very cheap and wild animals often appear.”

“We haven’t had time to take protective measures yet, that’s what the insiders say. But since no one has encountered any danger yet, we’re turning a blind eye.”

Gu Yezhou asked in a deep voice, “You suspect that Dong Yunzhou murdered Dong Ruiyang? What made you think that?”

We were colleagues, and it all happened for no reason.

Even if you dislike someone, you wouldn’t suspect them of a crime as serious as murder.

“He brought a knife with him when he went up the mountain,” Teacher Yu said, opening her phone and scrolling through her photo album for a few minutes.

“It’s this knife in his hand. He said it’s for peeling fruit. Who uses this kind of fruit knife?”

Gu Yezhou picked up his phone and glanced at it. Compared to ordinary small fruit knives, it did look much sharper.

“That’s true. Who carries a knife when hiking? Holding it like that is really scary.” The shop assistant next to him glanced at it and shrank back.

Gu Yezhou handed his phone to Sang Ning, “Take a look.”

Sang Ning glanced at it and said, “You need a walking stick to climb a mountain; it’s really strange to carry a knife.”

She calmly returned the phone to Teacher Yu.

Gu Yezhou stood up and said, “We have a clear understanding of the specific situation. If we need any further cooperation, we will contact you again.”

Seeing that the two were about to leave, Teacher Yu finally voiced the doubts he had kept buried in his heart for ten years. He nodded vigorously, “I will definitely cooperate if needed.”

“Um… I wanted to ask, are you here to investigate Teacher Chen or… Dong Ruiyang?”

After saying all that, he realized that the police had come to Xiangyun to investigate a case, and the two officers in front of him were probably not there to conduct a door-to-door visit.

“Don’t ask questions you shouldn’t ask, Teacher Yu. Go back to class and focus on your studies.” Sang Ning winked at him.

On the other side, seeing that they were about to leave, the shop assistant quickly made the milk tea and put it into a bag.

Just as Sang Ning was about to reach for it, Gu Yezhou grabbed it all in his hands.
