Chapter 106 The murderer's plan has just begun
After hearing what Gu Nankai said, Gao Yuan's face quickly showed a trace of excitement. He suddenly raised his body from the table and looked at Gu Nankai: "Boss, there is really something going on. I have found the owner of the cufflinks!"
This clue made Gu Nankai and Wu Qingluan very happy. They were both excited and their eyes lit up. They leaned forward slightly and said, "Tell me, what's going on!"
When Gao Yuan mentioned this, all his fatigue seemed to disappear. His eyes were full of sparkling light as he said, "It's like this. I have been asking people to find clues about the cufflinks. I have found the owners of the five pairs of cufflinks. One is the boss of Qing'an Industry and the other is a wealthy businessman in Longhai City. Now I have also found the remaining three people. They are all from foreign companies. There is no need to elaborate on these."
Gao Yuan did not mention Gao Ziyi's name. He glanced at Gu Nankai nervously for a moment. Gu Nankai knew his intention and said, "The remaining few people are not important. What we need is who is the person related to the cufflinks we found?"
Gao Yuan glanced at Gu Nankai gratefully, and quickly said, "Chen Ming runs a real estate company abroad. Among the five people I investigated, only his cufflinks were given to others twice, so I quickly checked this person's situation. Guess what the result was?"
Because Gu Nankai and Wu Qingluan were not present, Gao Yuan had not informed everyone of the progress, and then several people reached a consensus that their respective progress would have to wait until Gu Nankai and Wu Qingluan arrived before sharing it. So when he asked this question, Li Meng responded very cooperatively: "How is it, what did you find out?"
Gao Yuan chuckled and quickly said, "Chen Ming's ancestral home is Longhai City! They moved from Longhai City to the United States eighteen years ago!"
Gao Yuan paused and looked serious. “Chen Ming’s cufflinks were given to his only son, Chen Xin’an.”
Gu Nankai quickly understood the subtext of Gao Yuan's words. In fact, everyone realized what he meant and was a little excited for a moment. Gu Nankai quickly asked, "Have you confirmed with Chen Ming and the others?"
At this moment, Gao Yuan curled his lips, looking helpless. "What are you confirming? They are a wealthy family and they have done a good job of preserving their reputation. The calls I made were all answered by the secretary. Before I could even say two words, they said I had no authority to talk to their boss. I was almost worn out by their words, but they just ignored me. Finally, I had no choice but to say that we were the police and suspected that something had happened to their young master. As a result, this guy directly said that I was slandering them and they were going to sue me. Then the phone could no longer be reached."
Wu Qingluan and the others burst out laughing after hearing Gao Yuan's aggrieved words. Gu Nankai also grinned at him: "And then?"
"Then, I called you, Boss. I checked the situation of Chen Ming's son." He changed from being nonchalant to being slightly serious, looking at everyone seriously: "Chen Ming's son looks exactly like the second deceased."
Does this mean that the identity of one of the deceased has been confirmed? Gu Nankai quickly thought to himself, but as Gao Yuan said, the victim's family is not cooperating, so it is difficult for them to confirm the information before proceeding with other matters. He narrowed his eyes, quickly stood up and said to Gao Yuan: "Give me Chen Ming's contact information, I will try it. If the deceased is indeed confirmed to be Chen Xin'an, we must get in touch with the family as soon as possible."
Gao Yuan also stood up immediately: "But they don't cooperate at all, I tried to let me..." Gao Yuan was also a little anxious and almost let the cat out of the bag. In fact, before this, he had thought about asking his father Gao Ziyi to help him contact them, but because of business sensitivity, although Gao Ziyi was willing to help, he was powerless. In the end, Gao Yuan gave up the idea. Now, he was about to say it but was quickly stunned. He immediately shut up and looked at Gu Nankai awkwardly.
Based on Gu Nankai's understanding of Gao Yuan, he quickly guessed what Gao Yuan meant by his abrupt words. He quickly smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll give it a try. I have a few friends in the United States who are in the building materials business. Let them see if they can help. We'll make plans later."
Gao Yuan nodded apologetically and gave Gu Nankai the contact information he had found. Wu Qingluan kept looking at him, her brows slightly furrowed as if she was thinking about something. When Gu Nankai was about to turn around and go out to make a phone call, she suddenly stood up and said, "Wait a minute."
Not only Gu Nankai, everyone looked at Wu Qingluan with some suspicion. Facing everyone's doubtful eyes, Wu Qingluan smiled and said to Gu Nankai: "Let me give it a try. I have more connections in the United States than you do."
She walked over and took the contact information that Gao Yuan had just given him from Gu Nankai, blinked and said, "Leave it to me. It will take at most five minutes."
Gu Nankai looked at Wu Qingluan hesitantly, but she smiled mysteriously and walked out directly. Gu Nankai reacted and found it a little funny, but Wu Qingluan never boasted when it came to work, and he knew that Wu Qingluan had the ability to do it.
"Okay, just wait five minutes." Gu Nankai patted Gao Yuan's shoulder and took him back to the table to sit down. Everyone was waiting for Wu Qingluan's results. You know, the most important thing now is to confirm Chen Xin'an's identity and get in touch with his family. Only in this way can it be possible to unlock the potential relationship between all the victims and the murderer through Chen Xin'an.
Gu Nankai seemed to be thinking about something. As for the information that Chen Xin'an's family's ancestral home was in Longhai City, he always felt that everything was related to this clue.
All the victims were killed in Longhai City, but they did not seem to be permanent residents of Longhai City before that. The murderer seemed to have used some means to gather these three victims in Longhai before implementing the murder plan.
Gu Nankai's brain was working rapidly, with all his nerves working together, and it seemed that he suddenly understood something.
Just when Gu Nankai had just thought of the general idea, in fact the five minutes had not yet arrived, Wu Qingluan had already come in with a cell phone in her hand. Everyone's eyes naturally turned to her, and Wu Qingluan raised her eyebrows and smiled at everyone.
"Teacher Wu! What's wrong?" Li Meng was originally looking at Shang Lu and did not notice Wu Qingluan's eyes. He looked up and saw Wu Qingluan coming in, so he quickly asked.
Wu Qingluan came over quickly and put the phone on the table: "It's solved. I think Chen Ming will call me soon."
Just a few seconds after she finished speaking, the cell phone that had just been placed on the table began to vibrate. Everyone stood up at the same time and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.
Gao Yuan found the phone number of Chen Ming's secretary, but this number was obviously not the same one as before.
Wu Qingluan quickly glanced at Gu Nankai, and seeing him nod quickly, she immediately picked up the phone and answered it.
Chen Ming answered the call personally.
Wu Qingluan winked at everyone to indicate that they should keep quiet and leave it to her. Everyone nodded and watched Wu Qingluan's conversation with the other party in silence.
Wu Qingluan pressed the loudspeaker button at the first moment, and everyone was clear about the situation on the other end of the phone. It seemed that Chen Ming only knew at this moment that something had happened to his son. Gu Nankai sighed secretly. It seemed that his subordinates simply thought Gao Yuan's call was a joke and did not report it to Chen Ming.
