Chapter 248: Organizational Structure
When Gu Fan saw that Su Hui was focusing on Liu Yao in solving the case, he felt a tinge of unease and scratched his head: "Sister Su, I forgot to mention that I had a visitor earlier. You know how it is, we all have our own affairs; you at work, me at school, so..."
"Enough, cut to the chase. Who came to visit and does it concern me?" Su Hui looked puzzled at Gu Fan’s hesitation.
Gu Fan managed to utter:" It’s not related to you, Sister Su, but it’s related to the case."
"Oh, let’s hear it." Su Hui perked up, eager to listen.
Gu Fan gave a dry laugh: "You won’t believe this, Liu Zhendong, Liu Yao’s father, came over."
Su Hui gasped in surprise: "Hmm, what did he come for, to bribe you?"
"Almost felt like that, but it was not exactly a bribe." Gu Fan’s words seemed puzzling and Su Hui quickly urged him to clarify.
Gu Fan thought for a while and organized his thoughts: "Here’s the thing, there were six households living in our old house before, and the other five moved out, including the Liu family, who moved out last. I used to play with a girl from the Liu family when I was little. Liu Zhendong and my father knew each other well. But after moving out, everyone got busy and lost contact."
Hearing this, Su Hui frowned: "What a coincidence. What’s Liu Zhendong’s intention? The connection had been long lost, and now that we are investigating his daughter, he’s trying to claim kin? That cannot be claiming kin I guess?" After saying this, Su Hui thought for a while, and then asked: "Your situation wouldn’t count as kin-recognition, right?"
