Deities Are All Just My Food-Chapter 2247 - 1003: Forest Cottage

At the dock, the sea breeze blew, and the bright moon spread everywhere.

"Was it really you who did it?"

Cowgirl Sister didn’t expect Gu Qingqiu to find the culprit so quickly.

"Killed someone, and managed to stay free for nearly thirty years, feels good, huh?"

Black Bro mocked.

Hoffman scrutinized Gu Qingqiu, increasingly convinced that she and Lin Baici couldn’t be left alive.

If they don’t die, they will surely grow into top-notch powerhouses, greatly enhancing the strength of the Jiuzhou Security Bureau.

"Finally, the truth has come out!"

Goryeo Sister didn’t care whether justice was served; she just wanted to purify the rule pollution quickly and leave that Ghost Ship.

"Don’t rush to comment, Little Qiu Qiu hasn’t finished reasoning yet!"

Xia Hongyao urged everyone to quiet down.

"Hasn’t he already confessed?"

Black Bro was puzzled: "What else is there to ask?"

"Are you saying the child didn’t die, and this guy was set up?"

Cowgirl Sister chuckled: "Isn’t that the excuse she used to deceive the seafood boss?"

Everyone looked at Gu Qingqiu.

"I’ve read your statements from back then, and the police’s evaluations of you."

Gu Qingqiu continued: "When you were young, you were a very diligent, self-disciplined person, always scrimping and saving, trying to make money."

"You didn’t smoke or drink, even now, I don’t smell any smoke on you."

"So do you drink?"

The seafood boss shook his head: "I don’t drink!"

"You said earlier that the night you disposed of the body, you drank quite a bit, to catch up, and usually didn’t pay attention to many details, which is why you didn’t see there was a child in the freezer truck, freezing him to death!"

Gu Qingqiu pressed him.

"I originally didn’t drink, and since that day, I’ve had psychological shadows, even more afraid to drink!"

The seafood boss felt like the child’s body was floating in the liquor every time he touched alcohol: "I swear it was an accident!"

"Why did you drink that day?"

Xia Hongyao finally found a blind spot and quickly probed.

"I... I had a fling that day!"

The seafood boss was a bit embarrassed.

Back in those days, there were no laws prohibiting drunk driving.

The seafood boss drank too much, and after being praised a few times by that woman, he was eager to earn money, so even when drunk, he didn’t rest but continued to work, heading to the dock to haul fish.

"Was it this woman?"

Gu Qingqiu took out a photo and handed it to the seafood boss, asking him to identify.

The boss took it, studied it carefully: "No!"

"Look more closely!"

Gu Qingqiu instructed.

The boss examined it seriously but shook his head again: "Looks a bit similar, but it’s not her!"

"After that fling, did you ever see that woman again?"

Gu Qingqiu asked further.

"He already said it was a fling, likely just met once or twice."

Goryeo Sister thought Gu Qingqiu was overcomplicating things.

"This woman is probably the real mastermind!"

Gu Qingqiu waved the photo: "She might have used makeup or even undergone surgery, causing this man to fail to recognize her!"

"Who is this?"

Cowgirl Sister was shocked; she hadn’t seen this photo before.

"It’s the ex-wife of the old woman’s son!"

Gu Qingqiu explained.

"I don’t recall seeing this photo while looking through those albums?"

Cowgirl Sister recalled.

"No need to recall, it wasn’t there."

This was specifically asked for by Gu Qingqiu when she reviewed the files with the old officers.

"I’m all confused!"

Black Bro scratched his head: "Can you explain it clearly?"

"Alumnus, you go ahead!"

Gu Qingqiu didn’t like to waste words.

Lin Baici shrugged: "That child didn’t go missing; her mother concocted a suicide case, taking the child with her!"

"As for whether the child knows the inside story and participated actively, I guess he did; otherwise, things could easily go wrong in the freezer truck step."

Lin Baici deduced.

"Definitely participated actively!"

Gu Qingqiu added a line.

"Stop being cryptic, spit it out!"

Cowgirl Sister urged.

"The child’s parents divorced, the custody was granted to the father, the mother disagreed but couldn’t win custody, so she devised this plan!"

Lin Baici had just started when he was interrupted.

"Wait, at that age, when parents divorce, doesn’t custody usually go to the mother?"

Xia Hongyao raised a doubt.

"That’s the case now, but how it was adjudicated in Hong Kong Island at that time, I’m unsure, plus there are possibilities, like if the mother was ill or unemployed, lacking the ability to care."

Lin Baici analyzed, looking at the old policeman, who should know.

"The child’s mother had a mental illness!"

After the child’s disappearance, the old officers also sought the child’s birth mother but couldn’t contact her.

"The child’s mother used her charms to orchestrate an encounter with this seafood boss, got him drunk, and then had the child hide in the freezer truck!"

"When the freezer truck arrived at the dock, the seafood boss prepared to load goods, and saw the ’corpse’ in the freezer truck."

"He was terrified, leading to the ’disposal of the body’ action!"

"The child’s mother was certainly waiting nearby at that time, then took the child away."

Lin Baici looked at the seafood boss.

"So that’s how it is!"

Everyone pondered, and the logic chain seemed sound!

"Damn it, it was that woman who set me up!"

The seafood boss cursed angrily.

"Enough with that; if the plan went so smoothly, it’s because you’re too selfish, too ruthless."

Lin Baici scorned: "Had you even considered sending the child to the hospital or calling the police, the child’s mother would’ve had to work harder, increasing her chances of exposure."

"But you didn’t; you chose to dispose of the body."
