Ma Qi looked at Gu Xizhou and asked in surprise, "What happened?"
Gu Xizhou shrugged at him. "When I went there just now, I met a man who was taking a video. Lao Guo told him not to. They quarreled and Lao Guo scolded him. The man edited the video and put it on the Internet."
Ma Qi was stunned for a moment and then nodded. There was nothing he could do.
With Ma Qi as the resident, Gu Xizhou took the elevator upstairs and went to the address in the deceased's mobile phone. He knocked on the door and asked, "Is anyone home?"
Soon, Gu Xizhou heard the sound of footsteps, and the door was opened from the inside. A middle-aged woman opened the door. Her hair was white, and there were traces of age on her face. The woman who opened the door revealed a surprised expression. Clearly, the people standing outside the door were different from what she had expected. "Who … who are you looking for?"
Gu Xizhou nodded slightly to the woman and asked, "Is this Tang Xiao's home?"
The middle-aged woman nodded. "Yes, this is Tang Xiao's home."
"Hello, I'm a police officer. You can call me Officer Gu," Gu Xizhou said and took out his police badge from his bag. "What's your relationship with Tang Xiao?"
"Me? I have nothing to do with her! I'm just a part-time worker hired by her. I cook for her every day. I don't know anything else! "The middle-aged woman hurriedly denied her relationship with Tang Xiao. She was a little nervous.
Ma Qi looked at the middle-aged woman in surprise. He and Gu Xizhou looked at each other. Both of them were keenly aware that the middle-aged woman's attitude was a little strange. Ma Qi said, "You seem to be nervous."
The middle-aged woman swallowed and waved her hand. "I, I'm not …"
"It's none of my business. I don't know anything. I'm just a part-time worker." The middle-aged woman was so nervous that she stuttered.
Gu Xizhou raised his eyebrows and deliberately asked in a low voice, "Then do you know why we're here?"
The middle-aged woman was silent for a long time. She opened her mouth and finally said under the pressure of Gu Xizhou and Ma Qi's eyes, "She's taking drugs. Last time when I was cleaning, I found a few small bags with white powder in them …"
"Oh, and?" Gu Xizhou continued to ask.
The middle-aged woman was stunned and asked, "And?"
She thought for a while, showed a blank expression, and said, "Officer, I really don't know anything else. I'm just a part-time worker. I'm not the one who asked her to take drugs. Officer, you won't arrest me, right? "
"Can we go in and take a look?" Gu Xizhou asked. "By the way, you said you found drugs when you were cleaning up? Where the drugs? Do you know? "
"Officer, come with me." The middle-aged woman led Gu Xizhou and Ma Qi into one of the rooms in the house. She opened the wardrobe and the first drawer in the middle of the wardrobe. The middle-aged woman pulled the drawer open and handed it to Gu Xizhou. "Look, this is it."
"Oh …"
Gu Xizhou winked at Ma Qi. "You're the professional in identifying drugs. I don't know how to do that. Take a look."
Ma Qi just nodded and casually glanced at the bag of powder that Gu Xizhou handed to him. Obviously, this bag weighed more than 50 grams. In China, drug trafficking of 50 grams was a death sentence. He opened the plastic bag, fanned it with his hand, and smelled it.
"It's heroin." Ma Qi said in a low voice.
Gu Xizhou: "Dog nose …?"
Ma Qi glared at him and the corner of his mouth twitched. How could he talk like that?
The middle-aged woman stood aside trembling and said, "Is, is it really drugs?"
Ma Qi nodded and then asked, "How long have you been working here?"
"Almost half a year," the middle-aged woman replied.
"Do you know Tang Xiao?"
The middle-aged woman was silent for a moment and said, "Kind of. She's often not at home. Sometimes when I come to clean during the day, she comes back from outside. She always looks tired.
"She doesn't seem to have to go to work during the day. She's either at home or out to play."
The woman subconsciously glanced at the time on her watch. "Oh no, I should go home to pick up my grandson from school. Officer … can I leave for a moment?"
Gu Xizhou glanced at her, which obviously meant: No.
Seeing that the two officers refused her request, the middle-aged woman walked out. "Then I'll call my family and ask them to remember to pick up the child."
Gu Xizhou and Ma Qi looked at each other. Gu Xizhou easily subdued the short and fat middle-aged woman and handcuffed her.
The middle-aged woman asked innocently, "Officer, what's wrong with you? I just saw her taking drugs. I didn't take any. Why are you arresting me? "
"Do you know that you're overdoing it?"
"What do you mean?"
Gu Xizhou glanced at her. "You're dressed very plainly, but which housekeeper can go through the owner's things? Do you need to clean the closet to clean? Who are you trying to bluff? "
The middle-aged woman seemed to admit defeat. She suddenly stopped talking and her eyes were full of ruthlessness.
"You're too smart for your own good." Ma Qi sneered.
They took the woman directly to the police station. At the gate of the police station, they met Wang Ao who looked very pale. Wang Ao glanced at Lao Guo and Gu Xizhou and waved his hand. "Go, go, go. Do your work."
In the interrogation room.
"Tell me," Gu Xizhou asked casually. "You're going to die anyway. Don't try to cover up for anyone."
The middle-aged woman sitting in the interrogation room didn't say a word. Gu Xizhou raised his eyebrows and looked at her. "Why did you kill her? You didn't share the loot equally? "
"Kill her? I didn't kill her! "The middle-aged woman who had been silent suddenly answered." I don't know what you're talking about. "
"You're a drug dealer. You'll be shot if you're caught selling drugs in the country. Why do you care whether you killed her or not?" Gu Xizhou raised his eyebrows. "Hurry up and tell us. Don't waste our time. Why did you kill Tang Xiao?"
The middle-aged woman was stunned. The shock on her face didn't seem to be fake. "What? Tang Xiao is dead? "
Gu Xizhou: "… It really wasn't you?"
"I'm going to die anyway. But I really didn't kill Tang Xiao. I need her to sell all my drugs. I can't kill her. Do you understand?" The middle-aged woman said in a muffled voice.
After a while, Gu Xizhou walked out of the interrogation room. He looked at the middle-aged woman on the surveillance screen and asked a question. If it wasn't the drug dealer behind this middle-aged woman, who could it be?
While he was thinking, Xiang Yuan came out of the forensics room with the report. He said while drinking water, "The victim, Tang Xiao, was drugged with ether. Then her chest was cut off and she bled to death. Oh, and the victim wasn't sexually assaulted."
"The cut on the chest is very smooth. It should have been done with a scalpel."
Gu Xizhou was stunned. "A scalpel?"
Xiang Yuan nodded and explained to Gu Xizhou, "Yes. Of course, this is just a guess. It could have been done with another knife. But if I want to think about it, the only thing I can think of is a scalpel. "
The method of death was to cut off the chest and bleed to death.
Gu Xizhou nodded. He felt that the middle-aged woman might not be lying to him. If he was a drug dealer, he would have used the simplest and most direct method to silence her. He would have stabbed her with a knife or used a gun. There was no need to take the risk of cutting off the victim's chest and letting her bleed to death.
As Gu Xizhou was thinking, his phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was a WeChat message from Si Yu.
Si Yu: [Link] That's you in the video, right?
Gu Xizhou: "?"
Gu Xizhou clicked on the link. It was a video from Weibo. The title of the link was: [Don't be led astray! The man who posted the video is an idiot!].
"Come, come, come. Make way. Don't interfere with work!"
"Don't take photos! Show some respect to the deceased, okay? Do you have any basic morals? How can you post this on WeChat? Show some respect to the deceased, okay? "
"I'm taking photos. So what? Are you going to hit me? "
"Show some f * cking respect. The deceased should be respected. What's the point of taking these photos other than posting them on WeChat and Weibo? The deceased wasn't wearing any clothes. You're too much! "
"Aiya, the police are swearing and scolding people! Look, this is the quality of the police! "
"What, what did you say? Say it again! "
"Oh my god, how can there be such an idiot? The deceased was completely naked, and he still took a video and posted it on WeChat. Doesn't he know how to respect people? I hope someone will take a video of your naked death and post it on WeChat. "
"How disgusting."
Gu Xizhou finished watching the video. Because of the angle of the person who took the video, only the sound could be heard in the beginning. Only the second half of the video could be seen clearly. Gu Xizhou's expression when he raised his eyebrows and spoke to the man was recorded.
Although someone had recorded the entire video, it was a pity that the person who took the video did not have any fans. He was just a passerby. There were not even two comments below the video he took.
Two hours later, there were even more people criticizing them on the Internet!
In the office, Wang Ao was in a terrible fix. He felt that he was about to receive a call from his superior.
Gu Xizhou replied to Si Yu's WeChat message: [It's me.]
Si Yu: [Oh.]
Gu Xizhou: [What oh?!]
Si Yu: [?]
Gu Xizhou: [Boss Si, since you're so capable, do me a favor!]
Si Yu: [Why should I help you?]
Gu Xizhou: [Don't tell me …]
Si Yu glanced at Gu Xizhou's message and waited for him to continue.
Gu Xizhou: [Boss Si, you can't do it?]
Si Yu: […]
Gu Xizhou: [A real man can't say that he can't do it!]
Si Yu: [Shut up.]
Gu Xizhou: [Boss Si, gkd!]
Si Yu: […]
After putting down his WeChat message, Si Yu was silent for a moment before he called his male assistant. "Yes, I'll do it now."
Gu Xizhou had just gone in to ask the middle-aged woman a few questions when he saw Wang Ao walking out of his office. He looked very good and walked with confidence.
Gu Xizhou: "What's wrong with Chief Wang? Wasn't it raining and snowing just now? Why is it sunny now? "
Xiang Yuan shrugged and said, "Someone posted a video of the entire argument this afternoon. I don't know why, but a few top celebrities shared the video as if they had agreed to it beforehand. It's now at the top of the hot search list."
Gu Xizhou looked down at the time. Only ten minutes had passed. Boss Si was reliable! He took out his phone and looked at it. Oh, there was a new WeChat message on his phone.
Si Yu: [Okay?]
Gu Xizhou: [Boss Si is not only okay, he's also fast ~]
Si Yu glanced at Gu Xizhou's reply and rubbed his temples. Perhaps he had been with Gu Xizhou for too long, but he felt that Gu Xizhou's words had a hidden meaning.
Was he mocking him for being … fast???
In all honesty, Gu "Coquettish" West Continent really didn't mean that.
