Chapter 720 - 730 Deduction (4)
"Yes, I’ve been investigating in this direction lately. But eight years have passed, and the car has been destroyed. Proving that the car was tampered with is easier said than done."The group fell silent again.
Fu Nancheng suspected that Qiao Dehou probably didn’t know the car had been tampered with either; otherwise, he wouldn’t have used underhanded means to cover up the accident back then.
Coincidentally, Xiao Mo also suffers from amnesia, so she has been shouldering this blame solidly for eight years.
Now, what comforts him the most is her amnesia, even if it means she has forgotten about him.
At least she doesn’t have to bear the burden of so many lives, doesn’t have to wake up from nightmares every day, doesn’t have to feel guilty or remorseful.
Fu Nancheng lowered his gaze. Analyzing it this way, many things began to make sense.
Perhaps Qiao Dehou originally didn’t like him, likely thinking it was largely because of him that Xiao Mo’s accident happened all those years ago.
As a father, he didn’t want Xiao Mo to have any further connections with him.
He was even more worried that his appearance would trigger Xiao Mo’s memories of the past, making the situation unmanageable.
Just at this moment, Qin Zhaoran pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said slowly, "Her hands are shaking... her forehead must be sweaty... she raised her hand many times to wipe her glasses. This symptom... I suspect she was drugged, her state is off."
Fu Nancheng was slightly startled and began to carefully review the photos and videos again.
He had to admit that he noticed issues with the vehicle’s brake system and steering mechanism.
But the issue Qin Zhaoran mentioned was something he evidently hadn’t realized.
"In that case, the person in the car was indeed Xiao Mo. It’s just that she was drugged and disoriented at the time, and the car had been tampered with." Fu Nancheng solemnly concluded.
"Truly insidious!" Yan Jiu sneered.
Fu Nancheng’s eyebrows knitted into a furrow: "Fifteen, have someone re-examine Qiao Mo’s hospital records from back then, see if you can find evidence of foreign substances in her body."
Qin Zhaoran said gently, "Which hospital, I will personally visit later."
"Alright, since Qiao Dehou almost destroyed all evidence to clear Qiao Mo’s name, Fifteen may not find much. You have some connections with people at the hospital, seems you’ll have to make the trip yourself." Fu Nancheng said again.
"However, proving the presence of drugs might not be strong evidence, because even if you prove that there was indeed a certain drug in Qiao Mo’s body, it doesn’t prove she didn’t take it herself. You’d also have to prove someone drugged her without her knowing, and that process isn’t easy." Qin Zhaoran reiterated.
"Then let’s investigate in both directions, also look into that car from back then, I’ll check the Qiao family’s personnel records to see if anyone had the means to sabotage the car’s brakes and steering, see if we can pinpoint the person!" Yan Jiu spoke again.
Fu Nancheng nodded, in fact, he had already investigated this many times.
He had also checked the accounts of those people at the time to see if any had suddenly received a large sum of money.
He had also investigated whether anyone had moved away from the area or left the country shortly after the incident.
But events from eight years ago had been deliberately covered up by several groups, making it incredibly difficult to find any trace.
Now his only hope lies with Qiao Yun, as she was involved back then, and according to what they had previously said, Yang Peiyun had saved her from the fire.
This indicates that the mother and daughter were both present, and now they use it as a threat, giving him good reason to suspect that the events of those years were orchestrated by this mother-daughter duo.
