The lid of the iron trash can had fallen off, revealing a pair of pants inside that had been burned until only one leg remained.
Seeing this half - burned black pants, Gao Bo instinctively felt that there must be something fishy about them. So he took them out and stuffed them into his pocket.
After locking up Wang Chengxiang, Gao Bo had someone retrieve the surveillance video of the incident when the step - mother was pushed into the road and got into a car accident.
He found that the remaining letters on the burned - half pants were very similar to those on the black pants in the surveillance video.
Looking at the highly matching black pants fabric, Gao Bo thought this whole thing was very strange.
Could it be that Wang Chengxiang had attacked General Manager Lu's step - mother and then framed General Manager Lu?
The more Gao Bo thought about it, the more likely it seemed. He immediately put the pants fabric with obvious burn marks into a data bag and saved the video on his phone.
Gao Bo quickly rushed to the hospital where Lu Chuanbai was staying.
Because Lu Chuanbai wanted Xu Qingqing, who was taking care of him, to have a better place to stay, he had transferred to the VIP ward of a private hospital. There was a comfortable caregiver's bed beside the hospital bed.
Xu Qingqing could sleep on it without having to worry about back pain.
The warm sunlight shone through the window of the ward and fell on Lu Chuanbai. If one ignored the bandage on his head, it would have been a beautiful moment.
Xu Qingqing was peeling an apple for Lu Chuanbai when Gao Bo arrived with the evidence.
When Lu Chuanbai saw Gao Bo coming, he put down the half - eaten apple and frowned his long and narrow eyebrows. "Gao Bo, have you caught Wang Chengxiang?"
Gao Bo nodded. He glanced at Xu Qingqing, who was also sitting beside the bed, and hesitated.
Lu Chuanbai knew that Gao Bo had something to say. He waved his hand. "Just say what you have to say. Xu Qingqing can listen too."
Xu Qingqing was his wife, the most trustworthy person. She should know everything.
Only then did Gao Bo take out the black fabric in the transparent bag.
"General Manager Lu, besides what you told me to do, I accidentally found this half - burned fabric at Wang Chengxiang's home."
"It's exactly the same as the fabric of the black pants worn by the person who pushed your step - mother into the car accident. And here are the embroidered English letters on it."
After saying that, Gao Bo took out the video and played it in front of Lu Chuanbai, zooming in on the English letters on the black pants.
Hearing this, Lu Chuanbai sat up straight. His face was solemn as he stared at the video on the phone, comparing it with the black fabric in Gao Bo's hand again and again.
Sure enough, they were exactly the same.
Coupled with the burn marks on the pants, it was obvious that someone had tried to destroy the evidence but failed.
Xu Qingqing also sensed something was wrong. She exchanged a look with Lu Chuanbai, communicating their thoughts.
Lu Chuanbai raised his hand and said in a deep voice, "Gao Bo, take the evidence to the police station now and let the police handle this case."
Since Wang Chengxiang had left such a big loophole, there must be other clues.
Gao Bo nodded in agreement. Before leaving, he didn't forget to ask, "General Manager Lu, should we also send Xu Yiyi to the police station?"
Lu Chuanbai nodded, telling Gao Bo to send her in as well.
Anyway, they had detained Wang Chengxiang to prove Lu Chuanbai's innocence.
Now that there was new evidence to clear his name, it was better to let the police handle it.
Let the professionals do the professional work.
After Gao Bo left, Xu Qingqing felt a chill down her back. She rubbed her arms with both hands and sighed in a deep voice.
"I didn't expect Wang Chengxiang to be so bad. He didn't even spare his accomplice."
Without even guessing, she could tell that there must have been a conflict between Wang Chengxiang and the step - mother over the distribution of spoils. As a result, the two of them had a scuffle on the road.
In a fit of anger, Wang Chengxiang had pushed the step - mother into the road.
After this case was submitted to the police station, the police attached great importance to it. They successively found a lot of relevant clues at Wang Chengxiang's home.
They also found on Wang Chengxiang's phone that he had had an argument with the step - mother.
As the case progressed, the police also sent people to the hospital to investigate Lu Fenglin.
They asked Lu Fenglin if there had been any feud between the step - mother and Wang Chengxiang before the step - mother's car accident.
They also wanted to investigate the incident when Wang Chengxiang and Jim had jointly murdered Lu Chuanbai's mother.
When Lu Fenglin saw the policemen who came out of the blue, he didn't listen to a single word they said.
He also turned a blind eye to the evidence presented by the policemen and insisted that it was Lu Chuanbai who had done it.
Wang Chengxiang had told him that Lu Chuanbai wanted to take revenge on the step - mother.
Now that Wang Chengxiang had been imprisoned, it must be Lu Chuanbai's doing to cover up his own crime and send Wang Chengxiang to prison as a scapegoat.
"Why don't you listen? I've said many times that the real murderer is Lu Chuanbai!"
"You'd rather believe the words of a murderer than the words of me, his own son."
Lu Fenglin was furious. His voice got louder and louder. But in fact, this was just to cover up his guilt and his confusion when the truth he knew had collapsed.
It was impossible. It must be Lu Chuanbai who had done it!
How could his uncle and his mother lie to him!
Lu Fenglin felt his head was about to explode. There was a buzzing sound in his head, as if there were countless mosquitoes flying around his ears, disturbing his thoughts.
The policemen who came to investigate were directly kicked out of the ward by Lu Fenglin. Lu Fenglin stayed alone in the ward, staring blankly at his comatose step - mother lying on the bed.
Was this still the mother in his memory?
In his memory, his mother was very prone to crying. She always complained about the unfair treatment she had received, and she was very timid...
How could she have joined hands with her uncle to harm others?
How could his uncle have framed everything on Lu Chuanbai just to get rid of his own guilt?
They were a family after all!
Even though Lu Fenglin brainwashed himself again and again, the truth was the truth. He couldn't deceive himself.
Lu Fenglin's face was gloomy. There was a storm brewing in his eyes. He grabbed the keys on the bedside table and rushed to the hospital where Lu Chuanbai was.
He had to ask Lu Chuanbai clearly!
Gao Bo was reporting the progress of the case to Lu Chuanbai when Lu Fenglin kicked open the ward door angrily. He stared coldly at Lu Chuanbai lying on the bed.
Xu Qingqing, who was sitting in front of the bed, immediately stood up and blocked in front of Lu Chuanbai. She stared coldly at Lu Fenglin, with disgust in her eyes.
"Lu Fenglin, what are you doing here!"
Seeing Lu Fenglin's ugly face, what kind of madness was he going to start with Lu Chuanbai!
"Isn't it enough that you've harmed Lu Chuanbai like this!" Xu Qingqing shouted angrily, heart - broken.
This was one of the few times Xu Qingqing had been so angry.
The gloom on Lu Fenglin's face was almost tangible. There were dark clouds in his eyes. He stared fixedly at Lu Chuanbai on the bed, ignoring Xu Qingqing.
"I'd like to ask what Lu Chuanbai wants to do!"
"My mother has become a vegetable. Why are you still holding on to her!"
"I'm the one who kidnapped your child. If you have the guts, come at me. Taking revenge on a dying person is not what a man does!"
