Gu Xizhou scanned the interior of the car. It was brand new.
There was also a faint smell of cologne. It was complex and delicate, sometimes bitter, sometimes smooth, and had a unique fragrance.
Gu Xizhou thought it was a little strange. He remembered that when Si Yu came over, she didn't have such a unique fragrance. Instead, she smelled like tobacco.
The next morning, before Gu Xizhou got out of bed, he heard a "whoosh" sound. The curtains of the entire room were pulled open by a ghost. The slanted sunlight shone directly on his face. He opened his sleepy eyes and rubbed between his eyebrows.
Which horror movie was it that said ghosts were afraid of sunlight? Not only was the ghost in his house not afraid of sunlight, but his alarm clock was not even on time.
After Gu Xizhou got out of bed and washed his face with cold water, he let out a long sigh of relief and finally got rid of all his sleepiness.
Last night, he received news from the police station that Liao Jun had transferred money multiple times to a person named Bao Guanlin more than a month ago. Last night, he had transferred another 50,000 RMB to the other party's account through mobile banking. The total amount was 350,000 RMB.
350,000 RMB. This amount of money was enough for someone to take the risk of murder and robbery.
As the news was sent too late last night, they still needed to conduct further investigation on this Bao Guanlin. Therefore, they didn't take action last night. They only confirmed the other party's address through the bank account information.
Gu Xizhou drove to the police station.
A slide was projected on the projector. A female colleague was explaining the situation.
"Over the past few days, we've checked all the bank transfer records of Liao Jun's family, colleagues, and friends over the past year. We found that his brother, Liao Jun, had transferred money to a man named Bao Guanlin more than once. The total amount was 350,000 RMB.
"After further investigation, this man named Bao Guanlin is 32 years old and a foreigner. He doesn't have a job in Ningqing and has no source of income. However, he has three properties and a car under his name. His income doesn't match his actual income. Most importantly, his body shape and build are very similar to the murderer.
"This person likes to play mahjong. Every day, he would play mahjong in the chess room downstairs."
Gu Xizhou listened to the introduction and looked at the person in the photo. After a moment of silence, he stood up and said, "Go meet him and keep an eye on Liao Jun. Don't let him escape."
"Yes!"
After that, Gu Xizhou left with his men. Because the other party might be the suspect, Gu Xizhou and his men didn't drive a police car. Instead, they drove a van and Gu Xizhou's Land Rover that was parked outside.
"Chief Gu, your car is fixed? That's pretty fast. "One of the police officers who saw the car hit in Gu Xizhou said in surprise.
Gu Xizhou didn't explain. He just smiled. He was worried that if he said that the car belonged to Si Yu, his colleagues would make strange connections.
On the road, the journey was not smooth this time because they were caught in a traffic jam. Gu Xizhou rolled down the window and took a look outside. He saw a woman carrying a one-year-old child and holding a few bunches of yellow fruit orchids in her hand as she walked in the middle of the slow moving traffic.
The woman walked to the front of each car and knocked on the window, asking the people inside to buy the flowers in her hand. Gu Xizhou saw that many people in front of him rolled down the window and paid for the flowers. Some people even ignored her.
The woman was wearing a T-shirt that had been washed until it was white. There were all kinds of holes on the T-shirt. Gu Xizhou's skirt was old and white. If he gently tore it, Gu Xizhou's skirt would be ruined.
"Buy a yellow fruit orchid." The woman sold the yellow fruit orchids one by one. The income was not bad. At this time, the woman walked to the car next to his and bent down to knock on the window. Gu Xizhou noticed that the driver was a young girl. The girl rolled her eyes at the woman and ignored her. She didn't roll down the window either.
The woman knocked again. At this time, the child in her arms cried. The woman mumbled a few words. Gu Xizhou only heard a few words, "No sympathy" and "Not even a few yuan."
The woman turned around and saw that Gu Xizhou's window was rolled down. Her eyes lit up and she walked over. The child in her arms heard the sound of the car horn. He was so frightened that he cried like a weak kitten.
"Big Brother, buy a yellow fruit orchid!" the woman said eagerly.
A few colleagues in the car were about to pay for the flowers when Gu Xizhou rolled up the window without even looking at her.
The woman's hand, which was holding onto Gu Xizhou's car window, was almost crushed. The woman who had been gentle just now turned hostile. She scolded, "Are you f * cking crazy? Can't you see how pitiful the child is? It's fine if you don't buy it, but you almost hurt me! "
Gu Xizhou ignored her scolding. A female colleague who was full of sympathy frowned and looked at Gu Xizhou hesitantly. "Captain Gu, why don't … you buy it? That child is quite pitiful."
The female colleague was about to roll down the window when Fang Zhi stopped her. "If you buy it, the child will only be more pitiful!"
Hearing this, the female colleague showed a blank expression. She did not understand what he meant. The woman was still scolding outside. "Driving such a nice car, but you're not even willing to spend five yuan. Haha, you have no sympathy at all. Indeed, the hearts of the rich are all black! … "
The woman scolded for a while. As the car in front of them did not move, Gu Xizhou could not be bothered with her. At this moment, the car next door, who refused to buy flowers like Gu Xizhou, suddenly rolled down the window. The girl said, "Hey, Auntie, what do you mean by the rich are all black? I think you're the one with a black heart. Where are we? Do you want me to tell you where we are? Huh? Driveway! Do you know what 'driveway' is?
"You scold others for having no sympathy, but what about you? You carry a baby on this road every day. I see you every day when I go to and from work. Fortunately, there's a traffic jam today. If there's no traffic jam, how dangerous is it for you to carry a child back and forth on this 80-yard road?
"I've always wondered if you're the child's biological mother. Do you think a biological mother would do such a thing?"
The girl rolled down the window and scolded the woman. The woman was speechless. Many drivers around them also rolled down their windows. Someone said, "Yeah, I've seen you a few times. Last time, a Santana almost hit you and your child."
With these few words of condemnation, the woman felt embarrassed. She simply carried the child and turned away from the traffic.
Gu Xizhou turned his head to look at the car next door. He nodded slightly to express his gratitude.
The female colleague in the car glared at the back of the woman carrying the child through the window. Suddenly, she turned her head and asked softly, "Did she kidnap the child? Why don't we arrest her and send her to the police station? "
"No, it's her own child." Gu Xizhou explained calmly, "She held the child and shook it. The child stopped crying and kept touching her chest. Maybe it's hungry. The child is dressed neatly and is fair and chubby. She must have taken good care of it."
Hearing Gu Xizhou's analysis, the female colleague frowned and said, "Sigh, this child is too pitiful … I hope she won't do this in the future … It's dangerous to cross the road."
Gu Xizhou smiled. From what he had heard from the car owners, the woman carrying the child had been doing this for a long time. The biggest possibility was that she was carrying the child to gain sympathy so that she could continue selling flowers in another place.
Huang Guolan sold a flower for one yuan. She carried the child and sold it for five yuan. Most people would give up if the price was not high. However, this woman had obviously tasted the benefits and would not give up so easily.
After waiting for a while, the traffic police cleared the way. About 20 minutes later, they finally passed through the crowded road and arrived at a chess room that Bao Guanlin often went to. They just arrived at the door of the chess room and found the boss.
"Hello, is Bao Guanlin here today?" Fang Zhi asked casually without showing his police badge.
"Why are you looking for him?"
Lao Guo from the crime squad answered, "Oh, we are his friends who play cards."
The boss frowned and said, "I haven't seen you before. Wait, let me ask for you. I just came from home."
Just then, a young man came out of the chess room with a kettle. The boss hurriedly stopped the young man and said, "Xiao Li, these people are here for Bao."
Hearing the boss's words, Xiao Li looked at Gu Xizhou and the others again. He rolled his eyes and it seemed that he was up to no good. He said, "Brother Bao didn't come today."
"He didn't come? Doesn't he come here every day? Are you sure? " Gu Xizhou looked at Xiao Li, who was half a head shorter than him. His hand holding the kettle was trembling slightly, and he seemed to be very nervous.
"Ah … I remembered wrong. Brother Bao came just now. I will go in and ask him to come out," Xiao Li suddenly said.
Gu Xizhou raised his eyebrows and looked at the several criminal police officers who followed him. They all knew that there was something wrong with this guy. Gu Xizhou ordered, "Go in with him."
Less than two minutes after they walked into the corridor, Gu Xizhou heard the kettle fall to the ground with a bang.
Then, a loud voice shouted, "Run!"
Several people outside rushed in at the same time and saw that two criminal police officers who followed in were scalded. Xiao Li turned around and ran directly out of the window.
Gu Xizhou pushed open one of the rooms. There were still some red banknotes scattered on the ground. The people in the room had already escaped through the window. Gu Xizhou's face was cold. "Old Guo, you lead the team. The four of you stay behind and lock down the chess room. The rest of you, split up and chase!"
After making the arrangements, Gu Xizhou directly jumped out of the window. He only took a cursory glance and realized that there was a person who was almost the same height and build as Bao Guanlin. Although he could not see his face, Gu Xizhou had a hunch that this person should be Bao Guanlin. At the same time, there were three other people who were running away.
"Split up and chase. Be careful!"
"Police, don't run!"
Bao Guanlin's entire body exploded with unprecedented speed. His two legs were like the legendary scimitars, so fast that one could even see the afterimages.
No matter how fast the other party ran, Gu Xizhou could catch up. However, this guy was very familiar with the alleys in this area.
Gu Xizhou was about to catch up, but Bao Guanlin disappeared after turning a corner.
Gu Xizhou looked around the street. Bao Guanlin couldn't have run so fast. He was probably hiding in a shop nearby. It was not strange that he knew one or two people who lived nearby. Gu Xizhou took out his ID and asked, "I'm a police officer! There was a person in a red T-shirt running here just now. Where did he run to? "
At this moment, the owner of a grocery store was stunned. He hesitantly pointed at his house. Gu Xizhou rushed in but did not see anyone. Instead, he saw an open side door!
F * ck!
Gu Xizhou hurriedly chased after him and saw a figure in the distance. That person was running wildly.
Bao Guanlin was so tired that he opened his mouth and gasped for breath like a dog. He looked back and realized that he couldn't shake off the other party. His entire face turned ugly. He swallowed his saliva and wanted to speed up, but this was already his fastest speed.
The next moment, Bao Guanlin lost his balance and let out an ear-piercing scream. He fell to the ground and slid three meters away. His arms and elbows were scraped by the ground.
"Who the f * ck tripped me!
"F * ck your mother!"
Bao Guanlin was furious. He wanted to kill the bastard who tripped him just now. Just as he struggled to get up, he suddenly felt a chill on his wrist. With a 'kacha' sound, his hands were handcuffed.
After Gu Xizhou caught the man, he raised his eyebrows and looked at the man who stretched out his leg. He was slightly surprised and asked, "Why are you here?"
The man stood against the light with his hands behind his back. It was as if his body was glowing. He pointed at a building not far from him and said, "I'm donating money to benefit society."
Gu Xizhou looked in the direction he was pointing at. It was a children's welfare institute. Gu Xizhou raised his eyebrows and looked at the handsome man in front of him. For no reason, he ridiculed, "I didn't know you were so kind …"
Just as he finished speaking, a middle-aged lady wearing glasses walked out with a few children. She said to the man, "Mr. Si, thank you for your long-term help to our welfare institute."
"Uncle, this star is for you." A shy little boy held a glass jar filled with paper stars and handed it to Si Yu. "There are a thousand of them!"
A thousand stars could fulfill a wish.
Gu Xizhou thought for a moment. This was what the little boy was trying to say.
"Thank you." Si Yu took the gift from the child and expressed his gratitude. Then he turned to look at Gu Xizhou and said with an 'I'm very hurt' expression, "I've always been very kind."
Gu Xizhou said, "Do you think I'm blind?"
Si Yu was speechless.
At this moment, Bao Guanlin, who was being held down by Gu Xizhou, screamed, "Officer, can you give me two pieces of paper if you're chatting? Prisoners have human rights too, right? I'm having a nosebleed! "
Bao Guanlin had just fallen and his nose was bleeding. He looked a little pitiful.
Gu Xizhou couldn't stand it anymore. He frowned and asked Si Yu, "Do you have paper?"
"Here." Si Yu took out a packet of paper from his pocket and handed it to Gu Xizhou.
After wiping away the nosebleed, Bao Guanlin instantly lost his energy. The other colleagues rushed over and reported, "We've caught four of the six people who escaped. We haven't caught the other two."
Gu Xizhou nodded. They could take their time to find the others. Bao Guanlin was their main target.
"I still have something to do, so I can't chat with you," Gu Xizhou said to Si Yu, who was beside him.
Si Yu nodded in understanding, her eyes slightly curved. "Okay."
Before he left, Gu Xizhou looked at Si Yu and said, "Also, thank you for helping me out."
Si Yu said, "You're welcome."
Jinluo Police Station, interrogation room.
Gu Xizhou was furious. He slammed the document in his hand on the table and scolded, "You said you didn't kill anyone. Then why did you run?"
Bao Guanlin shrank his head in fear when Gu Xizhou slapped him. "You chased me, so of course I ran!"
"I chased you, so you ran?" Gu Xizhou raised his eyebrows. "If you didn't commit any crime, why would you run?"
Bao Guanlin didn't say anything. After interrogating the other suspects, Gu Xizhou finally understood why these people had run. They had gambled and cheated in a card game. This constituted fraud.
"Don't think that we won't be able to find out if you don't say anything. Your accomplices in the game room have already confessed."
Bao Guanlin said, "Since you already know, why are you still asking me?"
Gu Xizhou took out a photo of a Liao Guanlin and placed it on the table. He asked, "Do you know this person?"
Bao Guanlin picked up the photo and glanced at it before saying, "That spendthrift with the surname Liao. I know him. Why?"
