There are bright stars in your eyes

Chapter 412 Punishment (4)

But the old man walked towards her step by step.

Zhao Wanqing felt his hair stand on end, and his heart was jumping with fear.

She clenched her lips with her white teeth, wanting to run away immediately, but her legs were limp and she had no strength left.

The old man stood still in front of her, his cloudy eyes staring quietly at hers.

"Are you the former mayor, Zhao Guoyuan's daughter?" he asked.

Zhao Wanqing nodded, her skinny face was as pale as paper, and her lips lost any color.

The old man opened his shriveled lips and said to her, "Your father didn't commit suicide by jumping off the building! He was pushed downstairs!"

When Zhao Wanqing heard it, there was a "boom" in her brain, and the blood all over her body rushed to the top of her head.

"What did you say?" She stared at the old man and asked, her pupils dilated.

The old man opened his dry lips and said it again, with a very firm tone.

"Mayor Zhao didn't commit suicide by jumping off a building! He was pushed down and fell to his death!"

Zhao Wanqing stared at him and said, "How do you know?"

The old man turned sideways slightly, pointing to the building behind him and explaining.

"My house is just opposite your house, also on the 7th floor. On the night of Mayor Zhao's accident, it was around eleven o'clock. I got up to go to the bathroom at night, and vaguely saw a person standing on the opposite window sill with with a cigarette."

"With a cigarette?" Zhao Wanqing asked in surprise.

"Yes." The old man nodded, "After that, a person came up behind him, and when he was unprepared, put his hands on his back and pushed him down hard. You know, in our community The building is old, the window sills are extremely low, and there is no window screen, the man fell straight down the stairs without any hindrance."

The old man paused and continued to explain, "At that time, I was already old and thought I was dreaming. Unexpectedly, the police cordoned off the scene the next day. My neighbor told me that Mayor Zhao who lived in the building in front committed suicide."

Zhao Wanqing listened, her heart was beating "thumping", almost breaking out of the wall.

"Have you seen the murderer clearly?" she asked anxiously.

"No." The old man shook his head. "I only see the vague outline of that person. The distance is too far, so I can't see his face clearly."

"But why didn't you report what you saw to the public security organ?"

The old man shook his head helplessly.

"My daughter and son-in-law refused to give up, saying that one more thing is worse than one less thing, and that the investigation results of the public security organs will not be wrong. I think that after Mayor Zhao's accident, his family will definitely come back to investigate or pay homage. I often hang around here. I didn’t expect to wait for you four years later.”

"How do you know that my father is Zhao Guoyuan?" Zhao Wanqing asked.

The old man smiled, "You and Mayor Zhao look so much alike, you can tell at a glance."

Zhao Wanqing smiled bitterly, frowned and pondered for a while, then looked at the old man solemnly.

"If I apply to the Public Security Bureau for reconsideration, I need witness testimony. Grandpa, are you willing to be my witness?"

The old man nodded, "My old man is already half-into the coffin, he is unwilling to bring these secrets underground, and he is not afraid of anything, so I am willing."

Zhao Wanqing held his hand gratefully, tears almost filled her eyes, and said, "Thank you! Thank you!"

After leaving the landline number of the old man's home, Zhao Wanqing left the city hall, intending to tell Zhang Tingjian the news.
