"Do you think I'll believe you?" Gu Xizhou said as he walked. He didn't forget to mock him. "Do you think I'm stupid?"
Si Yu shook his head and shrugged helplessly. "It's really random."
After Gu Xizhou stopped his colleagues, he walked to the building Si Yu mentioned. The ground floor was filled with old beverage bottles. As for the paper Si Yu mentioned, there was only one bundle placed at the innermost corner. A pot-bellied middle-aged woman was walking out with the bundle of paper. Gu Xizhou saw the stack of brochures on top of the bundle of paper from afar.
Gu Xizhou flashed his ID and asked, "Miss, where did you get these brochures?"
When the middle-aged woman saw that it was a police officer, she immediately put down the bundle of paper and said, "Brochures? Oh, I picked this up on the way here! "
After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, two people in factory uniforms came over. They were curious when they saw that the police had returned. They looked at Gu Xizhou and the others eagerly.
Gu Xizhou glanced at the brochure. It said, "Do you want to change your fate? Is life's suffering too much for you to bear? Fate can … "
There was nothing special about the slogan. It seemed to be mainly promoting the idea that joining the organization could change one's fate. The black-and-white brochure looked very simple and made people feel uncomfortable. It was as if they weren't holding a black-and-white brochure, but a black-and-white photo of a deceased person.
There were also people who came over to watch the commotion. When the workers returned home, they had already taken off their muddy clothes. However, they had changed into slippers. They were all curious. Some of them even held bowls of rice in their hands and stood to the side as they ate.
After some detailed questioning, they found out the location of the event from the woman. Some busybodies raised their hands and said, "I know about this! It should have been three days ago. There were even people who came to give a lecture! They were talking by the roadside. I even listened in when I passed by! "
"What did they talk about?" Gu Xizhou raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice. He subconsciously felt that this clue was very important!
The busybody recalled for a moment and said, "I remember it's about how to change one's fate. It's quite nonsensical. One of the methods is to donate money to the organizer and God will bless you. I say, isn't this cheating money?"
Gu Xizhou asked again, "You said this is one of them? Is there anything else? "
The man glanced at Gu Xizhou and continued, "The other type is even more stupid. When I heard it, I scolded them for being stupid. My co-workers also said that they were stupid."
"What did he say?" Gu Xizhou asked.
"Hmm, I remember it's said that you can change your fate by killing one of your loved ones every day for three days in a row, and then their luck will be transferred to you. That way, you can change your fate … something like that. Who would believe such nonsense? What f * cking era is this? Who would believe that?! "
The man cursed as if he was joking, but the hearts of the police officers instantly sank to the bottom.
Perhaps they had found the reason why no one had reported their disappearance.
Gu Xizhou suddenly remembered the skinny man from earlier. The man said that his wife and son had returned to their hometown! He remembered that the man's room also had a lot of discarded cardboard. Obviously, he would also pick up trash and bring it home. However, Gu Xizhou did not see any similar flyers at that time!
He cursed silently, then turned to the police officers and said, "Come, follow me!"
"Captain Gu, what's wrong?"
Everyone looked puzzled. Gu Xizhou quickly ran to the door of the skinny man's room.
"Knock knock knock!"
"Knock knock knock!"
"Who is it?" A slightly shrill voice came from the room. "What's the matter?"
"Hello, please open the door," Gu Xizhou replied.
"Uh …" The skinny man opened the door and saw Gu Xizhou and a bunch of other police officers surrounding him. His forehead was full of sweat. "Officer comrade, why are you here again? My child is not missing. "
Gu Xizhou glanced at him and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you to call your wife and confirm it."
"Confirm? There's no need for that! " The skinny man's attitude suddenly became firm. "I'm going to pick up my son from school. I can't talk to you anymore."
Gu Xizhou stopped him and said, "Call her instead. You can use my phone."
The man looked impatient. He pushed Gu Xizhou and scolded, "Are you crazy? What does it have to do with you whether I call my wife or not?"
Gu Xizhou said sternly, "We just want to ensure the safety of your family. You can also give me their number and I'll call them myself! Did they go back to their hometown or did something happen? "
"You …" The man looked helpless and said, "Alright, I'll give you the phone. You can call them yourself."
As he spoke, the man said a string of numbers and scolded, "You police officers are crazy. Seriously, I don't know what you want."
Gu Xizhou interrupted the man and said, "I just want to make a call to confirm the safety of your child … Don't be angry."
The skinny man pursed his lips and walked back. "I'm going to get something …"
The phone number was obviously a landline number. Gu Xizhou didn't think much of it and dialed the number. The busy tone sounded on the other end, but no one picked up after a long time. Finally, the phone automatically hung up. Gu Xizhou was about to ask the man something when he suddenly heard a loud sound coming from behind the house!
Crash —
After the loud sound, a heavy object fell to the ground. A few police officers walked to the stairs and jumped from the third floor to the roof of the first floor opposite. Then, they went around to the back of the building and saw the panicked man who had fallen to the ground. The man missed a tile on the second floor and fell down. His entire body was in pain.
Gu Xizhou didn't say a word and went up to handcuff him.
"Kacha!"
The skinny man's hands were cuffed behind his back. The man scolded, "F * * k your mother, why did you arrest me! I didn't break the law! "
Gu Xizhou said, "If you didn't break the law, why did you climb through the window?"
"You stopped me. I wanted to pick up my son from school!" The man tried to explain.
Gu Xizhou held him down and raised his eyebrows. "But you didn't have to climb over the wall, right? Oh? I said I would let you go after making the call. "
"I-I was in a hurry to pick up the child!"
Gu Xizhou couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with him. He said, "Fine, if you want to pick up the child, I'll get my subordinates to help you. You have to get through to me today!"
The man scolded angrily, "Are you f * * king crazy! What can you do to me if I don't hit you? … "
Gu Xizhou interrupted the man's unbearable words. "Indeed, I can't do anything to you. As long as I do a DNA test, I'll know the relationship between you and the child."
"Don't f * * king talk nonsense. You're blaming me for the death of a child?" The man's face was ferocious and his eyes were bloodshot!
"How do you know that the child is dead? We didn't say that the child was dead. We only said that we found a child who might live nearby, "Gu Xizhou said.
"Uh —" The man's body suddenly stiffened and he couldn't say anything to explain.
At the same time, the few police officers who stayed upstairs rushed out happily and said, "Chief Gu, we found a black plastic bag and a mask in his house!"
"Heh," Gu Xizhou sneered and said to the man, "What else do you want to say now?"
"It's normal to have a plastic bag at home. This is Ningqing's smog. Can't I buy a mask?" the man asked angrily.
Gu Xizhou was about to speak when he suddenly heard a clang. It was the sound of an iron object falling to the ground.
A knife fell out of the man's trouser pocket. When the man saw the knife, he was stunned and suddenly became agitated.
"It's none of your business! I killed my son. What right do you have to care! His life was given to me by me. I can take it back if I want to! F * * k, what right do you have to arrest me! "The man's face was full of anger and he kept kicking his feet." I just need one more and I can change my fate!
"I know. You people are afraid that I'll change my fate. You're afraid that I'll become rich! Ah! … "
When everyone heard the man's heart-wrenching words, they suddenly shuddered …
At this time, a six-year-old child came out of the crowd. The child looked at the crazy man with a blank face and rushed over, saying, "What are you doing? Why are you arresting my father? "
Everyone looked at the thin and small child and couldn't say a word. If they hadn't seen the flyer today … this child … would have been gone.
When the man was brought back to the police station, everyone looked at the man and felt an indescribable sense of oppression.
Gu Xizhou left Si Yu in the hall, took a deep breath and walked into the interrogation room. Gu Xizhou couldn't help but feel a sense of disgust when he looked at the man. This man was so vicious that it made people want to vomit. And his stupidity made him feel even more disgusted.
Stupid and vicious.
Gu Xizhou cursed the man in his heart. After a while, he sat at the table in the interrogation room. Lao Guo, who was sitting beside him, opened his laptop to record. Gu Xizhou asked routinely, "What's your name?"
"Liu Cai."
"How old are you?"
"Forty-eight years old."
Gu Xizhou raised his eyebrows slightly. When he saw the man, he only felt that he was very old. But compared to the two young children, who were born at the age of forty, he actually killed them …
"Why did you kill them?"
"To change my fate!" The man named Liu Cai said matter-of-factly.
"How can you imagine this? Did you … "Gu Xizhou was about to say that there was something wrong with his brain when he saw the surveillance video.
"Who was the first one you killed?"
"My wife."
"How did you kill them?"
"Her brain wasn't very good. I tricked her from another family in the village. After we came out, we lived here. After I heard the news, I hesitated for a day. I thought I'd kill them. When I had money, I'd buy them a good grave. Then, the next day, I asked her to go out with me. I went to the river and stabbed her in the neck.
"She chirped a few times and then stopped."
It turned out that the victim, Wang Jinrong, was not Liu Cai's wife. She was married to Liu Cai's neighbor. Because of her poor brain, she was tricked by Liu Cai into leaving the village. Then, Wang Jinrong gave birth to two children for Liu Cai. Liu Cai would never send Wang Jinrong back to her hometown!
Lao Guo's typing hand paused for a moment. He endured the discomfort and continued to record.
Gu Xizhou said with a bit of discomfort, "What about your youngest son?"
"My youngest son … It was quite sad when I killed him. But thinking that it could change my fate, I killed him anyway. I killed Wang Jinrong. The next day, my youngest son was crying for his mother. I thought that since I had already killed one, I couldn't give up halfway, so I killed him. I wanted to kill my eldest son first, but he went to school very early that day."
Gu Xizhou said, "… Why did you choose such a far place to dump the body?"
Liu Cai said with an indifferent expression, "God said that the first one should die in the river, the second one should die in the southwest of his home … and the third one should die in his home. Only in this way can he change his fate."
Wang Ao was outside, listening to the surveillance footage with the others. He felt a chill all over his body and said, "Where are the flyers? I have to report this to the higher-ups. These people must be arrested! What a bunch of bastards! How could they publicize such harmful things?! "
The criminal police next to him hurriedly said, "We've taken the flyers back. We're already checking the phone numbers on them!"
The blue veins on Wang Ao's forehead stood out. He said in a low voice, "Okay, check them as soon as possible! We must catch these guys. I'm going back to the office to make a call! "
Xiang Yuan also worked overtime. They immediately did a DNA test and confirmed that the man was the child's biological father. They also checked the bloodstains on the knife. The evidence and confession were all matched. Gu Xizhou didn't even want to look at the brainwashed Liu Cai.
Liu Cai's eldest son was still sitting in the corridor. He was holding the ice cream that the other people in the police station bought for him. When he saw Gu Xizhou and the others coming out, he jumped off the chair and asked, "Uncle, when can my father and I go home?"
Gu Xizhou didn't know how to answer the question. It was a female criminal police officer next to him who held the child and said, "Little boy, you must be hungry. Sister will take you out to eat!"
The child was led out by a few female criminal police officers. When the people around them looked back at the interrogation room, they were instantly disgusted.
Gu Xizhou said in a low voice, "Let Liu Cai lead the way. We'll go to the river where the body was dumped to find Wang Jinrong's body."
"Yes!"
The sky was getting dark. The residents by the river were also helping Gu Xizhou and the others to find the body near the river.
"We found it! We found it! " Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Gu Xizhou saw Wang Jinrong's body, which had been soaked in the water until it was white and swollen. Part of the body was still missing. It was obvious that part of her body had been eaten by the fish and prawns in the river.
"Okay, bring the body back." Before Gu Xizhou left, he took a deep look at the expressionless and indifferent Liu Cai. He felt an indescribable sense of disgust.
When the tired Gu Xizhou walked out of the crowd, he saw Si Yu leaning against the car door. Si Yu waved at him and said, "The case has been solved. Aren't you happy?"
Gu Xizhou shook his head. "This Liu Cai is really stupid and evil. How could he believe such things! I knew it was fake the moment I heard it … "
"Okay." Si Yu smiled and said to Gu Xizhou, "Some people can't be woken up. No matter how much you say, he'll just treat it as nonsense. It has nothing to do with whether he's stupid or not.
"Okay, let's have dinner first. How about it?"
Gu Xizhou shook his head. "I don't feel like eating. I'm not hungry."
"Then I'll send you home?"
"Okay."
"Get in the car," Si Yu said mildly.
Gu Xizhou didn't stand on ceremony with Si Yu. After all, this person had already been his chauffeur for a day, so this last trip didn't make much of a difference. Gu Xizhou got into the car and sat in the front passenger seat.
After Si Yu started the car and drove for a while, Gu Xizhou suddenly said, "Fortunately, you found that flyer. Otherwise, the child would have been in danger."
Si Yu said mildly, "My luck has always been good. Look, with me by your side, you solved the case in one day."
"Pfft …" Gu Xizhou spat and said, "I don't believe this is luck. Don't tell me you have a device similar to Li Yan's Little Smart? The kind that can predict the future … "
"I do have a device, but it can't predict the future," Si Yu said casually as he drove.
Gu Xizhou was stunned for a moment. He turned to look at Si Yu curiously. He hadn't asked Si Yu in detail before. "You really have one? What is it? "
"A die," Si Yu replied.
Gu Xizhou's eyes widened. He looked at Si Yu and his tone changed. "Huh? A die? "
"I took the die that was left on the table in the gambling world," Si Yu explained. At the same time, he stopped the car by the roadside and took out a transparent square box from his bag. Inside the box was a die. "This."
Gu Xizhou looked down at the die in Si Yu's hand and asked curiously, "This die doesn't seem to be made of plastic? It's also much smaller than the dice on the gambling table. "
Si Yu shrugged. He had an 'I don't know why it turned out this way' expression on his face. Then, he stuffed the die into Gu Xizhou's hand. "For you."
"Why are you giving it to me? You can keep it for yourself, "Gu Xizhou said mildly.
Si Yu said, "The function of this die is: 1-3 represents bad luck, while 4-6 represents good luck. The higher the number you roll, the better your luck will be. The number I roll is random. If I roll a 1, won't I die faster?
"The number you roll is always a 6, so it's just right for you."
Indeed, it's just right for you … Gu Xizhou looked down at the die in his hand. He shook it and rolled a 6. Gu Xizhou hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Alright then."
Gu Xizhou rolled the die all the way. It was always a 6.
"Do you want to give it a try?" Gu Xizhou asked. "After all, you were the one who brought it out …"
Si Yu looked angry and amused. "What if I roll a 1 and suddenly get unlucky? Aren't you afraid of getting into a car accident? "
Gu Xizhou held the die in his hand. That was true … If this thing could be used in real life, it would be troublesome. It was better not to touch it.
The car stopped downstairs. Gu Xizhou and Si Yu exchanged a few words before Gu Xizhou got up to leave. At this moment, Si Yu leaned over and hugged Gu Xizhou.
Gu Xizhou looked guiltily at the balcony on the seventh floor. He pushed Si Yu away and said softly, "Hurry up and let go. I'm going upstairs."
"Alright."
After Gu Xizhou went upstairs, Si Yu, who was standing in the luxury car downstairs, looked up at Gu Xizhou's balcony with a slight smile.
Gu Zhizhi, who was standing on the balcony, froze. A strange expression appeared in his eyes as he gripped the railing tightly. This was the third time he and Si Yu had looked at each other!
He was sure that this guy could see him!
And that goodbye hug just now … was he trying to provoke him?
