"He's dead." Gu Xizhou's tone was flat.
"How could that be?" Bao Guanlin's voice trembled violently, as if he was shocked by the news. He immediately clarified, "It's not my fault. I didn't kill anyone!"
Gu Xizhou sized up Bao Guanlin and asked, "This Liao guy, do you know his name?"
"This …" Bao Guanlin was stunned. He didn't know why Gu Xizhou would ask this question. He hesitated for a moment, as if he was lost in his memories. After a moment, he said, "I don't remember clearly. Every time I saw him, I called him Brother Liao. But I remember there was a name when I transferred the money to him. Ah, I have a text message with me. I didn't delete it!"
Gu Xizhou raised his eyebrows and looked at him. "Think about it carefully. He should have introduced himself when you first met, right? And you didn't know him. How could you make sure he returned the money? "
"He said his surname was Liao … Oh right, I remember now. At that time, we were afraid that he would go back on his words, so we asked him for his ID. He gave me tens of thousands of yuan before I returned the ID to him. I have a photo on my phone!" Bao Guanlin said.
"Did you suddenly ask him for it?" Gu Xizhou asked to confirm.
Bao Guanlin nodded. "Yes!"
Bao Guanlin felt that the police's question was strange.
Gu Xizhou asked someone to bring Bao Guanlin's phone to the interrogation room. Bao Guanlin turned on the phone in front of him and flipped to the photo album. Bao Guanlin's phone showed a man holding a photo with an unwilling expression on his face.
The photo was very clear, and the name on the ID clearly said "Liao Shuang". Gu Xizhou raised his eyebrows slightly and asked again, "How did you know each other?"
"This …" Bao Guanlin hesitated for a moment and said, "We met in another casino."
Gu Xizhou thought for a moment and said, "Do you have the address?"
Bao Guanlin didn't think much and directly told him the address. After he finished writing, he asked with a smile, "Police comrade, are you going to arrest them? He had to be caught! There are a lot of people at their place! "
Bao Guanlin and the other party had been competing for business, and both parties had a grudge against each other. Now that he had been arrested, he would not let the other party off easily.
Gu Xizhou knew what Bao Guanlin was thinking. He was starting to like this guy who harmed others without benefiting himself.
"Officer, how did this person die?" After Bao Guanlin wrote down the address, he asked carefully.
Gu Xizhou raised his eyebrows and looked at him. "You have a lot of questions. Did he pay back the money he owed you?"
Bao Guanlin said, "I've returned it, I've returned it all. No, Officer, what do you mean by that? Are you still doubting me? "
"I really didn't kill him. He had already returned the money. Why would I kill him? Even if you lent me a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to do such a thing! Killing people is like eating a bullet, "Bao Guanlin said, full of grievances. He sat dejectedly in the interrogation room.
That night, the police station dispatched police officers and arrested everyone in the other casino. After interrogating the people in the casino, Gu Xizhou left the police station and went straight to Liao Jun's house.
An hour later, Gu Xizhou parked his car outside Liao Jun's parents' house. He quietly opened the door, and after a while, he heard a voice say, "Coming, coming!"
Liao Jun opened the door and saw Gu Xizhou. He was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously, "Do you have any leads?"
Gu Xizhou smiled and blocked the door. "Not yet, but I have a few questions to ask you."
"You can just call me. You don't have to go through so much trouble," Liao Jun looked confused. Although he was a little surprised, he still made way for Gu Xizhou and Fang Zhi to enter the room. He filled them with water with paper cups and said, "You can ask."
Gu Xizhou glanced around the room. There were only Liao Jun's parents in the room. He noticed that Liao Jun's wife, He Yunyun, was not there.
However, Gu Xizhou could understand. After all, He Yunyun and Liao Jun had already filed for divorce. They definitely did not have any feelings for each other. When they met the other day, He Yunyun had already mentioned the divorce.
Gu Xizhou asked, "We have investigated your accounts. You have transferred a large amount of money this year. I want to know who you transferred the money to?"
Liao Jun was stunned for a moment. He seemed a little nervous. He subconsciously glanced at his parents and said, "Can we talk inside?"
Gu Xizhou nodded and said casually, "Sure."
After entering the bedroom, Liao Jun glanced outside and then closed the door. He lowered his voice and said, "It's gambling debt … My brother's gambling debt."
"I don't know what happened to my brother. He got addicted to gambling. I didn't know about it before.
"I only found out about it later. That day, he came to beg me to help him. Otherwise, the other party would go to his company and make a scene. He has been living alone all these years. He doesn't earn much and he has no savings at all. He came to me and asked. As his brother, I had to help him. Besides, my salary is higher … So I helped him pay back the money. He also promised not to gamble in the future."
Hearing his words, Gu Xizhou carefully recalled the information they had found about Liao Jun. Liao Jun was the general manager of a technology company. He had an annual salary of about 1.5 million yuan. He did have the ability to help his brother pay off this gambling debt. 350,000 yuan was only about three months of his salary.
Just as Gu Xizhou was thinking about this, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
"Knock, knock, knock, knock!"
Gu Xizhou and Liao Jun went out together. Gu Xizhou asked Fang Zhi and the others to open the door. They saw a girl walk in from outside. The girl's skin was a little dark, but her facial features were regular. When she saw so many people in the house, she was stunned. "Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, you're all here."
After the daughter of the deceased arrived and said a few words, she suddenly burst into tears. Because of her crying, the two elders began to cry again.
This episode did not affect their investigation. Gu Xizhou turned to ask Liao Jun, "Okay, let's talk about this. I want to ask you, since you have such a good relationship with your brother, has he really been single for the past 16 years?"
Hearing Gu Xizhou's words, Liao Jun hesitated. The two elders and the girl looked at Gu Xizhou in shock and asked, "What, what does this mean? Does Little Shuang have a girlfriend outside? "
"Liao Jun, I hope you can answer my question seriously and don't hide anything." Gu Xizhou said, "We have found a mobile phone in his house."
"Okay … Yes, I know one. My brother dated a woman last year, but they broke up because they were not suitable for each other." Liao Jun said helplessly with an expression of "I admit defeat."
Gu Xizhou raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you have her phone number?"
Liao Jun shook his head and said, "My brother's phone should have it. I've only seen it once or twice. Besides, it's my brother's girlfriend. How can I save her phone number?"
"Why didn't you say it when I asked you before?"
"It's not that I didn't want to say it, but I think these two things should have nothing to do with each other." Liao Jun said with a bad expression.
Gu Xizhou asked, "Do you know that you will affect the progress of our investigation?"
Liao Jun's parents and Liao Jun's daughter looked at him at the same time and frowned.
"As long as it can help with the investigation, just say it!"
"Dad, what if it's this person?"
Liao Jun heard this and was silent for a long time. Then, he said with difficulty, "Okay, I'll tell you …"
"Her name is Li Na. She's just a money-grubber. She doesn't like Little Shuang that much. She's young and pretty. She despises the poor and loves the rich. I don't know how they met. I only found out that Little Shuang had such a girlfriend by accident …"
"Originally … I didn't know about this. Once, when I was shopping with Yunyun, Li Na might have seen me. She ran over and hugged me. At that time, I was shocked. She opened her mouth and called me Brother Liao. At that time, I was also stunned. Yunyun even quarreled with me because of this. Later, I thought that I didn't even know Li Na. I just couldn't understand … "
"After arguing with Li Na on the streets for a long time, she said that her boyfriend was a Liao Shuang. At that time, I told her that I wasn't a Liao Shuang! Then, I found my brother and understood the situation. I even specially brought the two of them to explain to Yunyun. It took a long time to explain the situation. "
Gu Xizhou called the police station and searched the phone records. He found a person named Little Na.
On the way back, they made a call. When the person on the other end heard their conversation, she was silent for a moment before saying, "I really don't have anything to say to him. We've been apart for two months. We haven't contacted each other for two months. I don't even know if he's dead. Why are you looking for me?"
Gu Xizhou looked at the investigation report in silence. Li Na hadn't used a large amount of cash recently, but he still needed to ask about the situation.
Fang Zhi asked the person on the other end of the phone, "I mainly want to ask you about the situation. May I know how you two met?"
"Well, his phone was WeChat. I got to know him from the people nearby. After chatting with him a few times, he sent me a red packet of 520 yuan, saying that he wanted me to meet him and that he liked me a little. At that time, I wasn't willing, but who knew that he would send me a red packet of 1314. I thought that he was a good person, and I felt that he spoke well, so I agreed. "
"And then?" Fang Zhi curled his lips. Maybe he liked the money?
The person on the other end of the phone replied, "After meeting him, I was quite disappointed. You know his age, right? He's too old and not suitable for me. To be honest, when I saw him, I wanted to leave. He asked me to stay for dinner and then sent me home. Before he left, he told me that he really liked me.
"At that time, he was especially gentlemanly, and he spoke very well. He even sent me home very gently. After that, we met a few more times. He expressed his feelings for me, and I didn't know why I agreed in a daze.
"But who knew that not long after I got together with him, I realized that this guy was a f * * king green ambassador!"
Gu Xizhou raised his eyebrows and said to Fang Zhi, "Continue to question her."
Fang Zhi whispered to Li Na, "Can you tell me more about it?"
"Sigh, you police won't tell others, right?" Li Na asked worriedly.
"Of course, don't worry about that. We have our own professional ethics."
The woman hesitated for a moment. After a while, the voice on the other end of the phone spoke again, "That day, I bumped into his brother and sister-in-law. At that time, I was quite surprised. He even blamed me for thinking too much and causing a misunderstanding between his brother and sister-in-law, so he scolded me.
"But a month later, I realized that this guy had a phone behind my back. It was filled with records of him flirting with different girls. I was quite angry and broke up with him that day."
Gu Xizhou thought for a moment and asked, "When he was with you, did Liao Shuang gamble?"
Li Na seemed to think for a moment and said, "Him? He didn't like to play cards. Once, my friend told me that he was bored and asked Liao Shuang to play cards with them. He directly refused. In my memory, he didn't play cards. "
Gu Xizhou added, "One last question. Can you tell him from his brother?"
"To be honest … I can't. That day, when I bumped into his brother and sister-in-law, I heard from his brother that he had a brother. I didn't believe it at all. At that time, I took out my phone and immediately made a call to verify. I was sure that his brother didn't use his phone at that time. Then, he rushed over. Only then did I believe his story."
"Thank you for your cooperation. Please keep your phone connected. If there's a need, we'll contact you at any time," Gu Xizhou said softly to Li Na on the other end of the phone.
"Oh, okay."
After hanging up the phone, Fang Zhi couldn't help but frown and say, "This victim is really a two-faced person."
Gu Xizhou pondered for a moment. He remembered that the Liao Shuang's female assistant was very beautiful, and this female assistant's evaluation of the Liao Shuang was quite good. She clearly said that the victim had a good reputation in the company and didn't have any romantic relationships. However, in the mouth of the victim's girlfriend, this person became a green ambassador.
Gu Xizhou was puzzled and said, "It's impossible for a person to go to two extremes. Moreover, the Liao Shuang with Li Na didn't like to gamble. This is completely different from what we learned from the casino staff."
Fang Zhi heard this and frowned subconsciously. "It's really strange."
Previously, Gu Xizhou had asked Xiang Yuan to check the fingerprints of the two brothers. At that time, they only checked the fingerprints on the phone. He missed this problem. This phone belonged to the victim, so of course, his fingerprints were the same as the victim's!
However, it was very likely that this phone didn't belong to the Liao Shuang!
Gu Xizhou frowned. He could only ask Xiang Yuan to check the handwriting and fingerprints of the two brothers the next day.
The next day, at 10: 35: 57 in the morning, Gu Xizhou stared at the handwriting and fingerprints in his hand. He felt a lot better.
Xiang Yuan's expression didn't look too good either. He said, "There's definitely something wrong with these two brothers!"
They found the two brothers' companies and asked for different documents and contracts, all of which had the signatures of the two brothers. After the verification, the handwriting and fingerprints on these documents were indeed from two different people. However, the strange thing was that the documents from both companies had the two brothers' fingerprints and signatures.
Obviously, the two brothers had been consciously swapping identities. They had been doing this for a long time. No … it shouldn't be that long ago. Gu Xizhou narrowed his eyes. He suddenly thought of He Yunyun's words: Two years ago, their parents always mistook them for each other.
Gu Xizhou immediately ordered, "Ask the two companies to provide the signatures and fingerprints of the two brothers from two years ago. I don't believe that they can't tell who's the younger brother and who's the older brother!"
"Yes!"
Before the test results came out, Gu Xizhou's phone rang. He picked it up and heard one sentence. He cursed and said to the people around him, "Let's go to Liao Jun's house! He said that there's a suspicious person in front of his house. "
"Okay!" Fang Zhi frowned and followed him. He asked, "What's the situation? Is he trying to stall for time? "
"I don't know, but since he said so, we have to go and have a look. If something happens to him, it's hard to say." Gu Xizhou said as he walked.
"Okay."
Gu Xizhou drove straight to Liao Jun's house. When they arrived, there were already several police cars nearby. Liao Jun's family was talking to the police officers. "Liao Jun" didn't seem to be injured. The police officers were asking him what he had seen.
Liao Jun's family was a little pale because of fear. Gu Xizhou walked over and asked, "What's the situation now?"
Liao Jun had a lingering fear in his heart. He said in a trembling voice, "This morning, I, I heard someone knocking on the door. I asked who it was out of habit, but the person outside didn't answer me, so I didn't open the door. After a while, someone knocked on the door again. I hurried over and looked through the peephole. The peephole seemed to be blocked by something. It was pitch black …
"I thought about what you said before. Could it be that someone wanted to kill me but killed the wrong person? I was scared, so I called the police. Then I called you immediately."
Gu Xizhou looked at him deeply and said in a deep voice, "In other words, you didn't see anything?"
Liao Jun shook his head. "I didn't see anything, but we have surveillance cameras in the corridor here! They all saw it! There was a person outside, wearing a black shirt, a black hat, and a mask! "
Gu Xizhou nodded and walked over to ask a few police officers in other areas. When the police officers saw Gu Xizhou and Fang Zhi showing their identification, they didn't hesitate to introduce the person. Gu Xizhou looked at the surveillance video carefully. There was indeed a man in black in the video. His physical characteristics and appearance were similar to the murderer. Gu Xizhou and Fang Zhi looked at each other.
At this time, Gu Xizhou's phone rang. He picked up the phone and said a few words. Then he directly took out a handcuff and handcuffed Liao Jun.
"Officer, what are you doing?" Liao Jun asked with a bewildered expression.
"Liao Shuang, we have already compared the fingerprints. The deceased is your brother." Gu Xizhou pointed out that Liao Shuang was a major suspect. Moreover, they found that Liao Shuang had temporarily reported the loss of his bank cards this morning and changed the passwords of all his bank cards. At the same time, he had made a large payment.
"What are you talking about? I'm Liao Jun. The one who died is my brother!"
Gu Xizhou said casually, "I advise you to stop pretending. You and your brother studied different majors in university. Do you know anything about computer science? Let me ask you a random question. Do you know? Also, twins are not identical. STR typing can be tested, but it's more troublesome. "
The man in front of him was silent for a long time. Finally, he lowered his head resentfully. He knew that he couldn't deny it, so he admitted, "I'm Liao Shuang, but I didn't kill my brother! That person really wanted to kill me. Please believe me on this! "
Gu Xizhou looked at him deeply, ignored him, and directly took him to the police car.
After taking the Liao Shuang to the interrogation room, Gu Xizhou sat opposite him and asked him some questions that had been puzzling him for a long time. "Why did you two brothers swap places?"
Liao Shuang said helplessly, "It's because of my brother. There's nothing wrong with my brother, and he's very nice to me. It's just that his relationship with women is a bit messy. He has a few relationships outside, and he almost exposed himself a few times. After I got divorced, he has been using my identity to date those women."
"He used your identity to cheat?" Gu Xizhou used two simple words to make it clear.
"Yes." Liao Shuang nodded and admitted, "After I got divorced … he has been using my identity to cheat. At first, it was fine. Later on, he didn't come home at all. However, my sister-in-law would find out if he didn't come home, so he … asked me to go home on his behalf."
Gu Xizhou raised his eyebrows. "He Yunyun didn't find out?"
Liao Shuang shook his head and said, "I don't know if my sister-in-law found out … Anyway, I went home on his behalf a few times."
"A few times?"
"Okay, I admit, not a few times, but a lot." Liao Shuang raised his handcuffed hands and said helplessly, "In the past few months, I basically changed places with him. I stayed at his house every day."
"What about the day he died? You two still swapped identities? "Gu Xizhou asked.
Liao Shuang said in a low voice, "We met once that day. We swapped clothes in the toilet."
"If I remember correctly, He Yunyun told me that she met with Liao Jun that day to discuss the divorce with Liao Jun. He asked you to go for the divorce on his behalf?" Did he need you to help him sleep?
Of course, Gu Xizhou didn't ask so directly, but his heart was pounding.
"How would I know?" Liao Shuang said helplessly. "The night before he died, he suddenly sent me a message and insisted that I swap clothes with him. I couldn't persuade him, so I agreed in the end."
"Why didn't you tell him directly? Why did you want to replace your brother?" Gu Xizhou asked.
Liao Shuang was silent for a long time and said, "He asked me to help him with the divorce at the last minute, so I went …"
"At that time, I saw the division of their assets. My brother had 40 million yuan in assets under his name. I didn't know my brother was so rich. Even if they divorced, my brother still had 20 million yuan. But if my brother died … Most of the money would go to my sister-in-law. After all, it wasn't an official divorce. They just signed an agreement.
"And when I received the call, I was completely dumbfounded. I wanted to say that the person who died was my brother, but at that time, my mind was filled with the contents of the divorce agreement … I thought that no one could tell us apart anyway, so I had some evil thoughts. But please believe me, I really didn't kill anyone. This is my brother. I wouldn't be so crazy as to kill him!"
