"F * ck!" The man's face turned pale as he stared at the faintly discernible hand. He stumbled backward and fell to the ground. "Is this a human hand?"
"Yes," Gu Xizhou answered the man's question and took out his phone from his pocket.
"Yes, I found something. No, I'm not sure if it's Xu Wei. I only smashed a small part of it and saw a hand." Gu Xizhou said to the other end of the phone, "Come over as soon as possible!"
Jiang Jun's face was as white as a sheet of paper. When he saw Gu Xizhou making a call, he snapped out of his daze and took out his phone to call the company.
A few moments later, several police cars drove into Shallow Water Garden. At this time, the mist was heavy and there was some afterglow.
A few minutes later, the police arrived and pulled a yellow cordon around the area to maintain the original state of the scene. Then, a few professionals looked at the blueprint and discussed whether the structure where the body was placed would affect the stability of the building.
Gu Xizhou held two bottles of mineral water. He handed one to Fang Zhi and stuffed the other into Jiang Jun's hand.
"The waterproofing of this location is not done well. The rainy weather caused the outer layer of the wall to fall off, so the smell is coming out."
"Captain Gu, we've seen the blueprint. The place where the body is placed is not a load-bearing structure, so it won't affect the superstructure," one of the experts said.
Gu Xizhou said, "Okay, get the body out as soon as possible."
As he spoke, the people from the construction company arrived at the scene. At the same time, a flashy black Maybach drove over. The driver got out of the car and opened the door for the boss sitting in the back seat.
Si Yu got out of the car and did not walk into the yellow cordon. He waved at Gu Xizhou. The two of them had a tacit understanding. When Gu Xizhou came over, Si Yu asked, "Is it Xu Wei?"
"I'm not sure if it's him, but I think it is." Gu Xizhou nodded.
"How did you find it?"
Gu Xizhou said casually, "It's a familiar smell, the familiar stench of a corpse."
Si Yu raised the corner of his mouth and asked, "Are you a dog?"
Gu Xizhou explained, "If you often come into contact with rotting corpses, you can smell it too."
"Gu Ge, I found something!" Fang Zhi shouted. "It might be a murder weapon."
Gu Xizhou bade farewell to Si Yu and hurried over. When he took a look, he realized that there was an axe inside the wall.
Their intuition told them that this was the murder weapon!
The policemen who were professional photographers immediately took out their cameras to take pictures. Gradually, the complete body of the headless corpse appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Gu Xizhou drove directly to the police station while the other colleagues were working on the corpse. Zhou Yiguang was fiddling with the handcuffs in the interrogation room out of boredom and asked, "What's wrong? Are you trying to accuse me of murder again? "
Gu Xizhou smiled. "We have confirmed the identity of the deceased. He is the former boss of a construction company, Xu Wei."
"Also," Gu Xizhou dragged out the last word. "We have found the other part of the corpse. We found the murder weapon at the place where the corpse was hidden. The murder weapon is an axe."
As Gu Xizhou spoke, Zhou Yiguang's face turned pale. He clenched his fists so hard that his bones creaked.
"It will take at most two days for the results to come out." Gu Xizhou took out the photos and said calmly, "Do you want to say it now or later?"
Zhou Yiguang was silent … Finally, he opened his mouth.
"I didn't expect you to find the corpse …" Zhou Yiguang said, "How did you find it?"
Gu Xizhou said, "You hid the corpse in the wall. At that time, the waterproofing wasn't done well. Because of the rainy weather, the surface of the wall fell off and air entered the hollow. The cement itself wasn't sealed, so there were many small holes inside. The smell of the corpse leaked out."
Zhou Yiguang heard this and nodded expressionlessly. He said, "You know that Xu Wei died, so you should have found out about our relationship, right?"
"Deng Mei said it, but we want to hear it from you."
"Well … 16 years ago, I worked at a construction site and met him. Because Xu Wei was considered smart and capable among the workers, I always had a good impression of him." Zhou Yiguang recalled. "We called each other brothers. Later, my father had a stroke and was paralyzed in bed. At first, I insisted on working at the construction site, but my family couldn't do without me … In the end, I had no choice but to resign and go home.
"After I went home, I opened a tea shop. I could take care of my father and mother and also have a stable source of income. The neighbors in the yard were very nice. If they didn't take care of me, my tea shop wouldn't have been able to stay open for so long. Every day, there would be several tables of people coming to my tea shop to play mahjong. Although the money wasn't much, because I spent a lot of time at home, it was convenient for my parents to take care of me.
"Xu Wei was really smart. After I left, he came to me once. He asked me to help him find a former colleague and let him be a contractor at the construction site. At that time, you all know that it was common for migrant workers to go home for the New Year and not get paid …
"During his first year as a contractor, he didn't receive any money from the company. At the beginning of the year, he had to hire people. He had to finish the work before the company would pay him all the money. Because of this, he asked me for help. I lent him 5,000 yuan. At that time, I felt that we had a good relationship, so I didn't ask him to sign an IOU.
"I wasn't in a hurry to ask him for money. I just said that he would pay me back when he had money.
"After a few years, I saw that he had changed his mobile phone and started driving a new car, but he still hadn't paid me back. I couldn't help but ask him about it. In the end, after asking twice, he became very impatient. Later on, he simply stopped answering my calls …"
Zhou Yiguang said in a flat tone, "Later, I specifically looked for him. He directly turned hostile. Later, I saw that he really didn't want to pay me back, so I gave up."
"Then why did you kill him?" Fang Zhi asked, puzzled.
"Last winter, my mother was sick and was hospitalized in the ICU. She was hospitalized for 1,000 yuan a day. How could I have that much money? I suddenly thought of the 5,000 yuan that Xu Wei owed me. I also asked around. He is now very rich, and his assets are in the hundreds of millions. I saw with my own eyes that he went into a 4S shop to buy a car that was worth hundreds of thousands for his woman outside. He didn't even blink … "
Zhou Yiguang continued, "I stopped his car and asked him to pay me back. I thought that 50,000 yuan wasn't a big amount for him. Fifteen years ago, 5,000 yuan was equal to 50,000 yuan now. He didn't lose anything … But when Xu Wei saw me, he kicked me and told me to get lost. He even said that he didn't know me. At the time, he seemed to be very angry. Later, I understood that he felt embarrassed.
"At the time, I was in a hurry to pay the medical fees, so I knelt before him and begged him … He immediately took out 5,000 yuan from his bag and threw it at my face. He even spat on me and said that I was a beggar.
"That 5,000 yuan was only enough for my mother to stay for five days. Actually, it was only to pay for part of the debt. If she wanted to stay … she didn't have the money. At the time, my mother's doctor helped me pay the 5,000 yuan medical fees. To be honest, I'm very grateful to that female doctor!
"Not long after … My mother died."
Zhou Yiguang took a deep breath and continued, "After my mother died, my father always felt that everything was his fault. If he didn't drag me down, I wouldn't be like this now. I'm already so old, and I still don't have a wife. That day, my father told me that he wanted to die.
"Later, he really died. He went on a hunger strike. When I held him, I felt that he was very light, very light."
Zhou Yiguang's voice suddenly trembled. Then, Gu Xizhou heard a burst of suppressed crying.
The misfortunes he had experienced had long smoothed out his edges and corners. He had accepted all of it and worked hard without complaint. However, when his father went on a hunger strike and died in order not to be a burden to him, all of the pain suddenly split open and became a hideous wound. It was like a sharp knife stabbing into his heart.
Zhou Yiguang cried for a long time. Gu Xizhou and Fang Zhi didn't comfort him. Instead, they sat aside and waited for him to calm down.
Seeing that he calmed down a little, Gu Xizhou asked, "Then why did you kill Xu Wei?"
"After my parents left one after another, I thought that I couldn't run a tea shop for the rest of my life. So I went out to apply for a job." Zhou Yiguang choked with sobs. "I used to manage construction sites, so I wanted to find a related job.
"It wasn't easy to find a construction site in the suburbs. I was fired two days after I started working there. At that time, I thought it was because of my poor management. Later, I found out that it was Xu Wei who did it to me. All the anger in my heart exploded. At that time, my mind was filled with the desire to kill him! Then, I followed him and killed him. "
Gu Xizhou noticed that Zhou Yiguang's face instantly became ferocious when he talked about Xu Wei. Gu Xizhou asked, "Why didn't you put his head in the wall with his body?"
Zhou Yiguang said, "When I killed him, I swung the axe and separated his head from his body. After I put his body in the wall, I directly threw his head into the cement bucket and took it away … Actually, I don't know what I was thinking at that time. Maybe I subconsciously thought that I wouldn't be discovered, or maybe I actually hoped that someone would discover me …"
After the prisoner confessed, Gu Xizhou went out and heard a few colleagues whispering outside.
"F * ck, it's only right to repay a debt! How can there be such a shameless person? "
"In today's society, the one who owes money is the boss, and the one who lends money is the grandson."
"He's too pitiful. His father …"
In the interrogation room, there was a cry. The sound was like a cuckoo crying blood. None of the policemen outside were willing to go in. At this time, the atmosphere in the interrogation room was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
Gu Xizhou was much calmer than the others who were sad. He directly went to the forensics room and knocked on the door. He asked Xiang Yuan, "When can you give me the report?"
"Wait for another two hours. I just saw that your subordinates were all frowning. Are you having a hard time with the case?"
Gu Xizhou shook his head and spread his hands. "There's nothing to be upset about. I only care about the results."
Xiang Yuan looked at Gu Xizhou strangely. Gu Xizhou noticed his gaze and raised his eyebrows. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"When you were interrogating cases in the past, even if you pretended not to be upset, I knew that you were still upset," Xiang Yuan added. "I always felt that you were different from before."
"How am I different?"
Xiang Yuan said, "When you were interrogating cases in the past, you smoked when you couldn't find the murderer. When you found the murderer, you also smoked because you were upset. But now, you don't smoke. Even when you're talking, your eyes don't avoid looking at me. This means that what you said is true.
"You really don't care."
Gu Xizhou touched his nose.
Xiang Yuan patted him on the shoulder and suddenly teased him. "Actually, this is also good. I used to think that if you died, if you didn't die in the middle of a case, you would die of lung cancer! At least now, you won't die of lung cancer. "
Gu Xizhou: Brother, you're very far-sighted. Gu Zhizhi died in the middle of a case. Criminal police is definitely a high-risk job!
