Gu Xizhou was woken up by the ringing of his phone.
He kicked Si Yu in a daze. "Pick up the phone."
Si Yu, who had been kicked awake, rubbed his eyes and hugged Gu Xizhou out of habit for a while. Then he reached for the phone on the bedside table. He put the phone to his ear and sounded a little confused. Obviously, he didn't know who would call him at this time.
"Who is it?"
"Si Ge … Is Gu Ge with you?" Fang Zhi walked to the corner with his phone and asked in a low voice.
"Yes."
"Then, can you give the phone to Gu Ge? We received a report … but I can't get through to Gu Ge's phone. His phone is turned off. "
"Oh, Xizhou, I'm looking for you," Si Yu rubbed his eyebrows and said softly as he handed his phone to Gu Xizhou.
Gu Xizhou raised his eyebrows slightly. He endured the discomfort in his body and took the phone from Si Yu. After he picked up the phone, he heard Fang Zhi's voice. "Gu Ge, there's a murder in an apartment near NingQing University. A female student was strangled to death in her rented apartment. Her body was so smelly that it was just discovered!"
Gu Xizhou rubbed his eyes. "Um … Okay, okay, I got it … Okay, I'll be right there."
Fang Zhi, who was rushing to the scene from the police station, put down his phone and suddenly thought of a problem. "Gu Ge and Si Ge seem to be sleeping in the same room?"
Fang Zhi felt his jaw drop to the ground. "It's scary to think about it."
Gu Xizhou, who was aching all over, suddenly got up from the bed. Si Yu looked at him. "Are you going now?"
"Yes," Gu Xizhou said. "It's an urgent murder case. Go to sleep."
Gu Xizhou rushed into the bathroom to wash up. He grabbed his car keys and walked out of the villa. Si Yu followed him out. "Why are you following me? Go back to sleep. "
"I'll drive you there," Si Yu said as his gaze fell on Gu Xizhou.
"There's no need. I can go there myself," Gu Xizhou opened the car door and said calmly.
Si Yu hesitated before asking, "Didn't you say it was painful?"
Gu Xizhou's jaw almost dropped to the ground when he heard this question.
However, Si Yu had a serious expression on his face and spoke in a serious manner. If he hadn't heard Si Yu's words, Gu Xizhou wouldn't have thought that they were discussing this issue.
"I'm just asking … you …"
Gu Xizhou got into the car and looked at Si Yu stiffly. He shook his head and said stiffly, "I can go by myself. Go back and sleep."
Gu Xizhou drove on an empty road. Gu Xizhou glanced at the time. It was 7: 30 pm and there was no one on the road. Gu Xizhou placed his hands on the steering wheel and looked ahead.
Soon, the car arrived at the crime scene. The police car was parked downstairs with its lights flashing. Fang Zhi and the others arrived at the crime scene before Gu Xizhou. He had driven from Si Yu's house, so it was indeed quite far.
Gu Xizhou stopped the car and didn't say a word. At this moment, Fang Zhi rushed over and was stunned when he saw Gu Xizhou.
Gu Xizhou frowned. "Why are you looking at me?"
"Gu Ge, Si Ge wore the clothes you're wearing the last time I saw him."
Fang Zhi stuck out his tongue after saying this.
When Gu Xizhou heard Fang Zhi's words, he looked down at the clothes he was wearing and said, "I'm staying at his place today. I didn't bring any clothes with me when I went out that day, so I wore his."
The two of them were about the same size, so their clothes didn't fit them.
Gu Xizhou changed the topic and asked, "How did you find the body?"
"Oh …" Fang Zhi immediately replied, "The neighbor next door discovered it. She's also a student at the school. She said that whenever she walked past the victim's door, she would always smell a stench. She didn't know why, but the stench was especially strong today. She kept knocking on the door, but no one opened it. Coincidentally, the landlord of this house also lived in the neighborhood. She really couldn't stand the stench, so she went to the landlord.
"The landlord first called the student who rented the apartment, but the student's phone was turned off. When the landlord finally opened the door, she got a shock … Brother Xiang already took a look at the body. He said that the body has been dead for at least a week."
Gu Xizhou frowned. "Aren't students supposed to live on campus? How can they still rent an apartment outside? "
Fang Zhi scratched his head and said, "Some rich students don't want to live on campus. The campus doesn't have air conditioning, and it's too hot in the summer. They can't stand it, so they move out."
Gu Xizhou nodded and walked into the crime scene. He took a closer look at the body. There were green spots and some other things on the body. Gu Xizhou couldn't tell what they were, but the strange thing was that there was a faint smell of detergent in the room.
"What's the situation?" Gu Xizhou asked Xiang Yuan, who was examining the body.
Xiang Yuan said, "I just took a closer look. The preliminary judgment is that the time of death is about a week. He was strangled to death by suffocation."
Gu Xizhou looked at the neck of the body. The color of the body had changed, and the stench was very unpleasant.
"He's been dead for so long. There should be a smell, but you only found it now." Gu Xizhou raised his eyebrows slightly and checked the scene.
He pulled open the window of the room. There was a layer of reflective material on the window. Gu Xizhou took a closer look. It was actually layers of transparent tape that covered all the gaps in the window.
The other rooms were the same. The doors and windows were locked, and they were all covered with transparent tape. Obviously, they didn't want others to smell the stench and discover the body.
Gu Xizhou glanced at the air conditioner and frowned. The temperature setting on the remote control of the air conditioner was only 8 degrees.
No one had discovered the body before because of the cooling of the air conditioner.
Gu Xizhou turned his head and asked, "Was there a power outage in this area a few days ago?"
The policeman who was asked was stunned for a moment. He immediately asked the residents who lived nearby about the situation.
"Chief Gu, there was a power outage in this area three days ago."
"Oh." That was not strange.
Then Gu Xizhou took two steps forward and checked the lock of the room. The lock was intact. Obviously, the murderer didn't break in. There were only two possibilities. Either the female student knew the murderer, or the murderer followed her and killed her.
"Damn, what the hell is going on? Someone is dead. I'm scared to death! "
"I heard that she's also from our school."
Gu Xizhou heard the voices from outside and frowned. He turned around and packed up his things. He walked to the door to ask about the specific situation.
The landlady and the female student who lived next door were the ones who reported the case. The female student had a ponytail and neat bangs. She looked very ordinary. At this time, her body was still trembling. She sat on the bed in her room and hugged herself into a ball with her hands wrapped around her legs.
"Hello, I'm the policeman in charge of this case. I want to understand the situation from you." Gu Xizhou asked, "Do you know her name?"
The landlady said without hesitation, "Her name is Sun Feifei. She's a student at Ningqing University. She should be in her first year."
Gu Xizhou frowned. The landlady saw this and immediately explained, "I don't have any bad intentions!
"When she rented the house, I asked for a copy of her student ID card. I've met students who didn't pay the rent before, but there are so many people in the school, so it's not easy to find. Later, I became more careful. As long as she rents the house, she must keep a copy of her student ID card. If the tenant runs away, I'll go to the school to find their counselor."
Sun Feifei, a first-year business management student in Class Three of Ningqing University.
After getting the basic information, he found that the landlady obviously didn't know Sun Feifei. She lived in another house and didn't come over often. Gu Xizhou's main target was naturally the student next door to Sun Feifei.
Gu Xizhou's eyes fell on the female student and asked, "Don't be afraid. Can you tell me the specific process of your discovery?"
The female student looked at Gu Xizhou, shrunk her shoulders, and bit her lower lip with her teeth. Under Gu Xizhou's encouraging gaze, she opened her mouth and said, "Yesterday, I was working on my design until dawn. In the morning, I was really sleepy, but the smell next door was really too strong. I couldn't stand it, so I went to the landlady …"
The female student's description was similar to what Fang Zhi had told him. Gu Xizhou was silent for a moment, then said, "Did you live here before the deceased moved in?"
The female student nodded. "I've lived here for two years. She only moved in next door when the semester started."
"Oh," Gu Xizhou hesitated for a moment, then asked, "When was the last time you saw the deceased?"
The female student frowned and seemed to be seriously considering Gu Xizhou's question. In the end, she shook her head. "I really can't remember. I go to school every day to work on my graduation design, so I didn't pay attention."
"Ah, anyway … I remember seeing her half a month ago. That day, I was also working on my graduation design. Anyway, I was very annoyed, so I ordered takeout at night. When I went downstairs to get the takeout, I saw her!"
Gu Xizhou lowered his eyes and looked at the female student carefully. He asked, "You remember very clearly."
The female student hesitated for a moment, then simply said, "Uh … If I remember correctly, she should have had a boyfriend. That guy seemed to be from our school. I saw him a few times."
"That night, she came home with a guy … I thought it was her boyfriend, but I found out it wasn't the guy I saw before. The two of them were very close. At that time, I thought she had broken up with the previous guy, so I didn't care."
"But the next day, I saw that guy coming over. The two of them were talking and laughing. The guy even gave her a gift, so I was very shocked. I remember it very clearly."
Gu Xizhou heard this and was silent for a moment. This relationship was a little complicated. This girl was not shocked. She probably thought that Sun Feifei's boyfriend was a cuckold.
Gu Xizhou asked, "Then, did you hear any strange sounds coming from the room next door? Like an argument? "
The female student thought for a moment and said, "Uh, no."
"Okay, thank you." After Gu Xizhou understood the situation briefly, he asked the female student to leave her contact information. After investigating the scene, he got someone to inform the school.
Gu Xizhou glanced at the time. It was past nine o 'clock. Fang Zhi ate something outside before arriving at the school. The school's principal had a big belly and was wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
When he heard that no one strangled the students to death in the rented apartment outside the school, the principal was sweating profusely. If this matter was not handled well, there would be big trouble.
Gu Xizhou saw the principal and went straight to the point. "Does the school allow students to live outside the school?"
The principal said helplessly, "How is that possible? The school doesn't allow it. But these students don't listen, so we can't do anything. We can't let the counselor check the dormitory every day. Then, the school can't do any work."
"Yes. Have you called the student in the victim's dormitory?"
"Yes, I asked the counselor to secretly call them over." The principal wiped the sweat off his forehead uncomfortably and gave a look to a teacher. The teacher immediately went out and brought in a few students.
The three girls looked at each other. One of them was braver and very beautiful. She asked crisply, "Is Feifei really dead?"
Seeing her worried expression, Gu Xizhou nodded.
When the beautiful girl heard this, she immediately covered her mouth with her hand and lowered her head. Her beautiful curly hair instantly covered her entire face. At the same time, she started sobbing.
"It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have moved out, and she wouldn't have died …"
On the other hand, when the other two roommates of the victim saw Gu Xizhou nod, they trembled subconsciously. The two of them immediately went to comfort the girl.
"Only you, Shu Le. It's not worth crying over her!"
"That's right. She'll die sooner or later!"
When Gu Xizhou heard this, he frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
One of the girls with a round face and glasses said directly without hesitation, "Sun Feifei stole Shu Le's boyfriend. Shu Le is so good to her. She's really shameless.
"Only Shu Le has a good temper. Originally, we wanted to make a scene in class and let everyone know what Sun Feifei did. However, Shu Le didn't agree, so we let it go. However, that scumbag and Sun Feifei were just fooling around. After that, he dumped her. Sun Feifei was flirting with many people at the same time. We already knew about it, but we didn't expect that she wouldn't even let go of her roommate's boyfriend."
After listening for a while, Gu Xizhou finally understood that Sun Feifei had moved out of the dormitory because she had seduced this boyfriend named Shu Le. As a result, the whole dormitory knew about it. Naturally, the girls in the dormitory didn't give Sun Feifei any face. They were cold to her every day. In the end, Sun Feifei couldn't stand it and moved out of the dormitory. For more than half a year, the three of them hadn't spoken to Sun Feifei.
"Then why did you say that it was only a matter of time before something happened to her?" Gu Xizhou asked the round-faced girl.
"That …" The girl rubbed her head and said, "Do you know about the LO circle?"
"What?"
"It's Lolita's little dress. A lot of girls wear it now." The girl explained.
"Oh, I know." Gu Xizhou's mind flashed back to when he occasionally saw people on the streets wearing Han Chinese clothing and a little dress that looked like a little dress. "And then?"
The round-faced girl said with some disdain, "Sun Feifei has a lot of these little dresses. One dress costs a few thousand yuan.
"Her parents are divorced and they only give her basic living expenses. Every year, she also receives a scholarship from the school. It's not that I'm biased, but I feel that only she knows where the money to buy these dresses comes from."
The innuendo in her words was self-evident.
"I'm not looking down on who wears LO dresses, but you have to consider your own spending standards." The round-faced girl said as she turned to look at Shu Le and added with a smile.
Gu Xizhou asked, "Why are you looking at her?"
"Ah, Shu Le is also a LO girl."
Gu Xizhou did not mind and said, "When was the last time you saw Sun Feifei?"
The girl pondered for a moment and replied, "Last Tuesday. That day was Abbess Miejue's class. She came."
Last Tuesday. Today was Wednesday. The range of time of death had narrowed down.
"Then do you know who Sun Feifei's current boyfriend is?"
"Uh … It's our classmate. His name is Wei Ming." Speaking of that guy, the girl's eyes revealed a sympathetic expression. "He likes Sun Feifei a lot. Previously, he even committed suicide for Sun Feifei."
