Gu Xizhou asked, "Did he mention anyone's name on the phone?"
Huang Yuzhen thought for a moment and replied, "No. Even if he did, I don't remember. At that time, I accidentally overheard him talking on the phone. I didn't do it on purpose. Who doesn't eavesdrop on their colleagues' conversations?"
Gu Xizhou sat in the car and listened to the phone. He felt that he couldn't get any more information, but being able to confirm that the deceased was involved in a debt dispute was also a way of thinking.
"Okay, thank you for your cooperation."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Xizhou was still worried and instructed Fang Zhi, "Ask him to investigate whether Huang Yuzhen has transferred a large sum of money recently … No, investigate everyone related to the Liao Shuang. Monitor them for a while. They must be paid to hire a hitman."
Fang Zhi nodded and stretched his neck to ask, "Where are we going now?"
Gu Xizhou: "To eat."
"Oh." Fang Zhi was stunned for a moment. He looked down at the time. It was already three in the afternoon. He had forgotten that they hadn't eaten yet.
The two drove to a roadside stall and casually ordered two bowls of noodles. Gu Xizhou didn't care about the time, but he felt that the noodles were a little shabby compared to last night's meal.
After lunch, Fang Zhi drove the car to the police station at four in the afternoon. At this time, the surrounding people who came to work occasionally looked at the luxury car parked in the corner.
There were two spots in the parking lot that were reserved for police cars. Fang Zhi parked the car. Gu Xizhou got out of the car and went straight to Xiang Yuan's territory. He walked to the door of the forensics room and bumped into Xiang Yuan, who was slacking at the door.
Xiang Yuan was smoking and waving at him. "You're back. How's the situation?"
Gu Xizhou handed the phone to Xiang Yuan and said, "The deceased is involved in a debt dispute outside. He also has many women outside. We'll take fingerprints from the phone and compare them with the deceased's. "
Xiang Yuan continued, "You suspect the deceased's identity. Don't worry, I'll get them to take fingerprints for comparison."
Gu Xizhou patted Xiang Yuan on the shoulder and said, "You said that you want to maintain your health, but in the end, you turn around and smoke. You can't be like this."
"Tsk, you, an old smoker, are talking about me?" Xiang Yuan laughed. "I don't understand why you actually quit smoking."
Gu Xizhou hesitated for a moment. He couldn't quit smoking Zhizhi, but he didn't like smoking at all. Speaking of this, Gu Xizhou suddenly said to Xiang Yuan, "When the case is over, come to my house for a meal when you have time."
"Alright." Xiang Yuan took his phone and walked towards the laboratory. He passed the things to Li Yan and shook his head helplessly. If this was in the past, Old Gu would also ask him to have a meal, but he would definitely not go home to eat.
Perhaps it was because she had to go back and take care of the puppy.
After Gu Xizhou left, he returned to his office and saw that the collected information for the case was already on his desk.
Gu Xizhou glanced at the newly organized information — the deceased was a Liao Shuang, 46 years old, graduated from university, worked as a financial director in a company. The time of death was 11: 25: 15. He was killed with two knives. The first knife cut the deceased's throat so that he couldn't speak, and the second knife stabbed diagonally from the back of the deceased's neck. He died instantly. The entire killing process took less than a minute.
Gu Xizhou looked at the information carefully and then instructed his colleagues outside, "Help me check the deceased's ex-wife's phone number. Give it to me as soon as possible."
"Yes, Captain Gu," a criminal police officer responded to Gu Xizhou's request and called Gu Xizhou in less than five minutes.
"Hello, are you the Liao Shuang's ex-wife, Madam Zhang?" Gu Xizhou asked Fang Zhi and two other criminal police officers to record the call when he made the call.
"Yes, I am."
"I'm a police officer from the Jinluo Police Station. I want to ask you something."
"I know something happened to him, but I've been divorced for so many years. I don't know anything about him," Zhang Rongrong said awkwardly.
Gu Xizhou said, "Don't worry, we just want to ask you a few questions."
On the other end of the phone, Zhang Rongrong was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "Well, ask whatever you want."
"I want to know why you divorced in the first place."
Zhang Rongrong said, "There's no reason. After we got married, we realized that we weren't suitable for each other. When we were young, we were very busy with work and couldn't see each other at home. Our relationship became weaker and weaker, so we divorced."
"Was it because he had an affair outside?" Gu Xizhou asked.
"Ah?" The woman was stunned for a moment, then said, "You mean he had an affair? No, we divorced peacefully. He didn't have an affair. "
"Is it really not because of that? We hope you won't hide it from us. "
Zhang Rongrong walked to the corner and said in a low voice, "It's really not. If you want to talk about an affair, it's not him."
Hearing Zhang Rongrong's words, Gu Xizhou and the others all raised their eyebrows. "Can you elaborate?"
Zhang Rongrong said, "In the fifth year of our marriage, there was a temporary change in the company. If I wanted to be promoted, I had to work in another city for a period of time. At that time, our relationship was already very weak."
"When I was in another city, I met a man who was very good to me … who is my current husband. We didn't have an affair physically, but we did have an affair mentally. Later, I asked the Liao Shuang for a divorce …"
"At that time, I could tell that he was very unhappy. For more than a month, he didn't answer my calls or talk to me. After a period of time, he thought it through and divorced me. In order to protect my image in front of my daughter, he didn't say anything."
"My daughter was young at that time and relied more on her mother. She wanted to be with me. He didn't agree at first, but when he saw how determined my daughter was, he agreed. To be honest, I am very grateful to him for helping me protect my image in front of my daughter. "
Hanging up the phone, from the description of the deceased's ex-wife, the deceased was a good person. The description of the company's employees also said that he was an upright person. However, the contents of the phone … and the phone call that Huang Yuzhen heard …
Gu Xizhou was frowning and thinking about the connection between the two. He saw Xiang Yuan walk into the office to look for him. Gu Xizhou looked away from the documents and turned to Xiang Yuan. He asked, "The fingerprint test results are out?"
Xiang Yuan spread his hands and said with a speechless face, "You asked for it. Didn't I have to work overtime to get it done for you?"
Gu Xizhou glanced at him and thought that recently, not only was he tired from looking at these cases, but even Xiang Yuan, the forensic doctor, was working overtime every day. He could only say casually, "Thank you for your hard work. Is the fingerprint on the phone the deceased's?"
"The fingerprint on the phone is exactly the same as the deceased's," Xiang Yuan said softly and put the documents on Gu Xizhou's desk.
"Thank you." Gu Xizhou raised his eyebrows slightly. The fingerprint on the phone was the same as the deceased's, so it was definitely different from Liao Jun's.
"Oh right, the car outside is Si Yu's, right? He lent it to you? "Xiang Yuan asked softly.
Gu Xizhou glanced at him and nodded, "His subordinate crashed my car. Isn't that what he should do?"
"Oh." Xiang Yuan nodded calmly and suddenly asked, "Didn't you ask me what Si Yu and I talked about the other day?"
Gu Xizhou raised his eyebrows, "What?"
"He said that he had never been in a relationship before and that he was a very interesting person." Xiang Yuan winked at Gu Xizhou.
Gu Xizhou was a little surprised, but that surprise disappeared in a flash. Gu Xizhou didn't find it strange that Si Yu hadn't been in a relationship. After all, they were both people who floated around in the mission world. Who knew that he would die that day? Dating was superfluous. There was no point in leaving the other party sad.
Seeing Gu Xizhou's calm face, Xiang Yuan glanced at the time. It was 17: 58. He said, "It's time. I'll get off work first and go home to accompany my wife and child. Good luck! "
Gu Xizhou looked at his back as he left. He felt that this person was really asking for a beating.
The wind blew, bringing with it a wave of heat.
Gu Xizhou went out to get his car. In the parking lot, he awkwardly bumped into Wang Ao, who was also going home with his car. The two of them looked at each other silently in the almost empty parking lot.
"Chief Wang." Gu Xizhou greeted him.
Wang Ao corrected him, "It's after work now. Why are you still calling me Chief Wang?"
"Uncle Wang."
"Yes." Wang Ao was satisfied when he heard Gu Xizhou call him Uncle Wang. He remembered that a few days ago, the police said that a girl was looking for Gu Xizhou. He thought about it and asked, "When are you going to bring that girl to the police station for me to meet?"
Gu Xizhou explained, "Don't listen to the police's nonsense. Look at how busy I am. How can I find time to date someone?"
Wang Ao closed his eyes slightly. He seemed to be observing Gu Xizhou's facial expression. He stared at Gu Xizhou for a long time and shook his head. "That's true. If you can find someone to date, the sun will rise from the west."
As the two of them talked, Gu Xizhou opened the car door. Just as he was about to get in, he suddenly heard Wang Ao say, "Why did you change your car?"
Gu Xizhou was afraid that Wang Ao would misunderstand, so he immediately explained, "My car's headlight is broken and is being repaired. I'll drive this car for a few days as a means of transportation."
Wang Ao stared at the car for a while and said, "Forget about the Land Rover you drove before. This car is not suitable. Don't drive it here tomorrow."
"Okay." Gu Xizhou replied. Seeing Wang Ao drive away, he sat in the car and took out his phone to send a message.
Wang Ao drove back and shook his head. Xizhou was getting more and more out of hand. Although his parents left him a lot of inheritance, he bought a Land Rover that was worth millions. Now he bought another one. What a wastrel.
The man who was swimming on the top floor of the villa heard the phone on the table ring. He left the pool and put on the bathrobe that was on the beach chair.
The water droplets slid down his black hair and onto his beautiful neckline. Then, they slid down his neckline and extended into his clothes. He picked up the towel beside him and wiped his hair. Then, he lowered his head to look at the message on his phone.
Gu Xizhou: Here's your car.
Si Yu: You don't want to drive it? Your car hasn't been repaired yet, right?
Gu Xizhou: Not yet. I was just criticized by my boss.
Si Yu: Are you at home now?
Gu Xizhou: I'm still at the police station. I'm about to go home. What's up?
Si Yu: I'll drive to your house.
Gu Xizhou: Okay.
The two of them arranged a time and Gu Xizhou drove straight to his house. Since it would take a long time for Si Yu to arrive, Gu Xizhou decided to eat at a restaurant outside the neighborhood. As he was eating, he suddenly saw a pair of well-defined hands tapping the table rhythmically three times.
"That's all?" Si Yu sat down without hesitation and looked at Gu Xizhou. His voice was clear and low, and there was an indescribable sense of laziness in it.
"I'll just deal with it by myself." Gu Xizhou nodded. Then, he noticed that Si Yu was holding a bunch of car keys in his hand. He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "You drove here?"
Si Yu nodded and placed the car keys in front of Gu Xizhou. "I took a look at the garage and realized that there's a car that looks like yours. You can drive this one for the time being."
As he spoke, Si Yu pointed to the off-road car parked by the roadside. Gu Xizhou squinted his eyes and sized it up. How was it similar?! From the looks of it, they were exactly the same!
The configuration inside might be different, but there was basically no difference in appearance. Gu Xizhou suddenly understood something. The last time his car was hit at Si Yu's house, it wasn't that the girl didn't know what was what. It was that this guy really had an off-road car that looked similar to his.
"Actually, you don't have to go through so much trouble," Gu Xizhou said in a deep voice. "My car will be fixed in two or three days at most."
Si Yu looked deeply at Gu Xizhou. "You'll need it."
Gu Xizhou looked at him and asked, "Why do you say that?"
"It's just a feeling."
Gu Xizhou rolled his eyes when he heard Si Yu's indifferent reply. "Can't you think of something better? Oh right, I heard from Xiang Yuan that you've never been in a relationship before?"
"Yeah," Si Yu nodded. "Is there a problem?"
Gu Xizhou narrowed his eyes and stared at Si Yu for a moment before he asked, "Do you still have your first kiss?"
When he saw Si Yu shake his head, Gu Xizhou thought to himself that he was indeed an old hand … However, the next moment, he heard Si Yu say, "I'll give it to you."
"Pfft …" Gu Xizhou choked and started coughing.
"Is it strange?" Si Yu asked the shop owner for a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Gu Xizhou. After Gu Xizhou caught his breath, he asked.
Gu Xizhou: "I thought you were an old hand."
Si Yu smiled, and the two of them chatted casually for a while.
"I'll go back first. The car …" Gu Xizhou glanced at the two cars. Si Yu couldn't drive them back alone, so he could only say, "Drive the Maybach back first. Leave the off-road car in my parking space."
"Okay." After Si Yu drove the car to Gu Xizhou's parking space, he casually stuffed the keys into Gu Xizhou's hands. "Trust me, you'll need them."
Gu Xizhou frowned slightly when he heard Si Yu's confident tone.
He shrugged when he saw Si Yu drive away. Just as he was about to go home, his phone in his pocket beeped. It was a WeChat message.
Repairman Chou: "Mr. Gu, I'm sorry … There's a problem with your car."
Gu Xizhou: "????"
Repairman Chou: "Today, a customer came to our shop to buy a car. I don't know why he was driving when he was testing the car, but he hit your car again."
When Gu Xizhou heard this, he looked strangely at the black car that had already driven out of the neighborhood. He moved his fingers and sent a message: "What's the name of the person who hit my car?"
Repairman Chou: "Eh? I'm not sure. Oh, we have his number here. I'll give you his number. You can ask him yourself! "
Gu Xizhou called him, and the other party kept apologizing to him. In the end, Gu Xizhou asked strangely, "Do you know Si Yu?"
"Huh? I don't know him. Is there a problem? "
His intuition told him that the person on the other end of the line wasn't lying.
Gu Xizhou suddenly felt numb all over. Was there really a problem with Si Yu? Previously, he had abandoned him and entered the mission world.
Gu Xizhou took out his phone and sent a message to Si Yu: "How did you know my car wasn't fixed?"
Si Yu: "Open the car and you'll know."
Gu Xizhou: "?"
When Gu Xizhou heard this, he opened the car door of Si Yu's Land Rover and noticed a brochure for a 4S shop. It was the same as the one near the shopping mall. It seemed like this guy had been to the 4S shop today. He might have seen it or heard someone talking about his car being hit.
Gu Xizhou heaved a sigh of relief and rubbed his glabella. Just as he relaxed, his phone vibrated again.
Si Yu: "Did you see it?"
Gu Xizhou: "Yes. Thank you for the car."
Si Yu: "You're welcome ^ _ ^"
