Chapter 390 Guilt

At two o'clock in the afternoon, after finishing the notes, the group returned to the hospital.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the ward, a middle-aged woman immediately rushed over.

"Chief Xu, you have to make the decision for our old Gu. He was injured on duty this time. You can't just let him go!"

Xu Dong quickly supported the other party: "Sister-in-law, please calm down. The company will not ignore you. Am I not here on behalf of the company?"

Mrs. Gu took the opportunity to wipe her tears.

"Sister-in-law, did you come here alone?"

"No, I came here with the child's uncle. His uncle went out to get food."

"Do you want my help?" Xu Dong asked with concern.

"No need, his uncle has old classmates here."

"That's good. When did you arrive?"

Sister-in-law Gu replied: "We bought train tickets for eleven o'clock, and we didn't arrive at the hospital until twelve-thirty."

Xu Dong nodded clearly. No wonder he came so late. He came by train.

The current situation is no different than in the past. There are only a few trains between the two places every day. If you don’t have a private car, you can only choose to wait.

"Is Gu Haiyuan awake?"

He Jinfeng interjected and asked. The suspect has always refused to tell the motive of the murder. Now he can only wait for the confession of the person involved.

"I just woke up not long ago." Mrs. Gu nodded.

"Great, I'm going in to take notes. Chief Xu, do you two want to come together?"

Looking at the police uniforms on the other party's bodies, one can tell that the two of them are considered members of the police, and it is not against the rules to do so.

Of course Xu Dong is more respectful than obedient.

"I can go in alone, Xiao Ren, you stay outside and help Sister Gu run errands."

Outsiders are not allowed to be present when taking notes, unless they are minors. Usually minors must be accompanied by a guardian when taking notes.

Lao Gu is obviously not among them.

"Yes, section chief."

…

After entering the ward, Xu Dong couldn't help being shocked when he saw Gu Haiyuan for the first time. Lao Gu had changed too much.

Not for better, but for worse.

After not seeing him for more than three months, Lao Gu not only has half a head of gray hair, but also looks much older. He seems to have aged five or six years all of a sudden.

No matter how difficult the frontline environment is, it's not so exaggerated, right?

There must be something hidden in this.

"Lao Gu!" Xu Dong called softly.

Gu Haiyuan turned around and responded weakly:

"Section Chief, you are here."

"Lao Gu, why are you..."

Gu Haiyuan said bitterly: "I don't blame others. It's all my own fault. I did something wrong myself."

"Cough..." He Jinfeng suddenly coughed.

Xu Dong wisely moved out of the way.

He Jinfeng came forward with a pen and paper:

"Gu Haiyuan, do you remember what happened on the train?"

Gu Haiyuan recalled it for a moment, and then immediately asked: "How is the child doing? Where is he now?"

"Is the name of the child you are talking about Kim Tae Jung?"

"Yes, how is he now?"

"He is currently in the branch. Apart from his poor mental state, no other problems have been found for the time being." He Jinfeng replied.

"It's okay." Gu Haiyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Gu Haiyuan, please recall now what exactly happened on the train and how were you injured?"

Gu Haiyuan looked bitter and told the details of what happened.

"Early this morning, I was sleeping on the lower bunk, and I vaguely felt someone approaching me. Before I could react, I felt a sudden cold on my stomach.

I opened my eyes all of a sudden. That child, Kim Tae Jung, was holding a small knife tightly in his right hand, and the blade had already been pierced into my stomach. "

"What's next, how do you react?"

"Kim Taizhong may have been frightened. I pushed him away and woke up other passengers. I don't know what happened next."

Hearing this, Xu Dong couldn't help but interject:

"Lao Gu, what is the relationship between this child and you?"

Gu Haiyuan closed his eyes in pain.

It wasn't until more than ten minutes passed that he slowly said: "Jin Taizhong is actually my new godson. I originally planned to take him back to Yanjing to live together, but I didn't expect that he hates me so much."

"Gu Haiyuan, how did you meet Jin Taizhong?" He Jinfeng asked.

"In mid-April, I followed the instructions from my superiors and went to Liaozhou to support the local border defense mission. The first three months were fine and everything was normal.

Until half a month ago, during a refugee screening operation, due to a mistake in my judgment, I actually shot and killed an innocent refugee with my own hands. "

After saying these words, Gu Haiyuan couldn't help but choked up.

"Lao Gu, look at it, this is not your fault. The situation in the border area is inherently complicated, and it is normal to make mistakes."

Xu Dong had participated in similar activities before. During the training, the superior department made it clear that there were many hidden violent elements among the refugees.

Therefore, in the process of law enforcement, a certain proportion of errors are allowed to occur.

"It's my fault, I was too nervous."

"Okay, what does this have to do with you adopting Jin Tai?" Xu Dong quickly changed the subject.

"Before he died, the refugee who was accidentally injured by me told me personally that he did not blame me, and made one only request to me."

"What's the request?" Xu Dong asked curiously.

"Let me take good care of his son, Jin Taizhong."

"Damn, isn't this moral kidnapping?"

Xu Dong was speechless. This man obviously wanted Lao Gu to be the scapegoat and use his own life in exchange for his son's future.

It's a pity that the young man was impulsive and destroyed his father's good intentions with his own hands.

Gu Haiyuan shook his head: "That can't be said. At least adopting this child will make me feel better."

To put it bluntly, it was actually the guilt that was at work.

"Gu Haiyuan, how did you help Jin Taizhong get a legal identity?" He Jinfeng got to the point.

Xu Dong secretly winked at Lao Gu.

It's a pity that Gu Haiyuan has been immersed in his own world and didn't notice the section chief's little move at all.

"I bought him a household registration on the local black market."

In border areas, this kind of "business" has always been very prosperous. As long as you are willing to pay the price, it is not difficult to get a legal identity.

The most common method is to impersonate.

"How much did it cost?"

"No money." Gu Haiyuan answered truthfully.

"Huh?"

He Jinfeng frowned. Is there any other inside story?

If it is true, it is a big case.

Gu Haiyuan hurriedly explained: "I spent a total of 100 kilograms of rice."

"Old Gu, old Gu, how could you do such a stupid thing?" Xu Dong said with great pain.

The food is gone, and someone stabbed me in the back for kindness and enmity. Is there anything more frustrating than this?

It's really unlucky!

Perhaps after the "bloody" lesson, Gu Haiyuan has finally regained his sanity:

"My mind was full of the picture of Jin Taizhong's father before his death. I couldn't care about anything else. I just wanted to solve this matter as soon as possible."
