Chapter 176 Looking for Guo Lin
Tu Guolin has been extremely anxious these two days.
From the time Zhao Jianguo revealed to him what happened to Luo Xun and others in the inn, to the current explosion of the homestay, the big boss of Yulin has lost a lot of weight in just two days.
Having been used to a good life, he was almost going to get moldy staying in this shabby guesthouse.
After secretary Xiao Zhang's repeated attempts to find Wang Sheng's whereabouts failed, he finally lost his patience and smashed the cup.
The water cup hit Xiao Zhang's forehead and blood flowed down, but he dared not say a word and could only endure it silently.
"I can't even find anyone. I'm keeping you guys for nothing, right?"
Tu Guolin pointed at him and said, "Eating shit is not as good as eating hot shit! Find him! Keep looking for me. Turn Yu Ji, Yu Bin, and even the entire Dongzhou upside down to find him! If we can't find him, he will die, and you will be buried with him!"
The secretary was startled, and bent over, covering the blood on his forehead: "I know, boss."
"What are you standing there for? Go find it!"
The secretary left in a hurry, and Tu Guolin threw something at him, the sharp part of which poked him in the back.
The door of the room opened , and the first thing that caught his eye was a pair of feet. The secretary stepped back in panic. He looked up and first saw Luo Xun, and then Chi Xia beside him.
"Police...Police officer..."
He remembered the blood on his face and wiped it hastily, but the blood ended up staining his entire face red.
"Boss Tu, the room in the guesthouse is too small. You are in a bad mood. Do you need to take it out on your subordinates ?"
Chi Xia took out a pack of wet wipes and handed it to the secretary: "Go and deal with it."
The secretary took the wet wipes and covered her face.
Luo Xun turned sideways: "Go quickly."
Xiao Zhang bowed towards them with gratitude, then left with his head covered.
Chi Xia and Luo Xun walked in. Tu Guolin laughed dryly: "My subordinates didn't do their job well. I was also very angry. I'm sorry to have embarrassed the two police officers."
"If you don't do things well, you will be buried with me?" Luo Xun walked over and said, "Boss Tu, your corporate culture is a bit scary."
Tu Guolin's face changed, realizing that they had heard what had just been said outside the door.
But he was only embarrassed for a moment. He smiled and sat on the sofa. "Officer Luo may not understand, but as a boss, you have to do this sometimes. Even if the subordinates are not convinced, as long as they still rely on me for a living, these are what they should bear."
Luo Xun clapped his hands: "This is not nice to hear, but it is quite right. However, since this is Mr. Tu's private matter, let's start talking about business now."
Tu Guolin didn't expect them to be so straightforward.
Chi Xia moved a stool over and said, "Boss Tu, do you still remember our agreement? When we solve this case, you will tell us about your brother Tu Guoan. Now that we have fulfilled our agreement, I wonder if Boss Tu still remembers his promise?"
Tu Guolin frowned.
"Or was it that Mr. Tu was just trying to delay us at that time?" Chi Xia didn't give him a chance to speak, and then said another sentence.
Tu Guolin's face was stiff. "Two officers, from what you said, have you finished investigating this case?"
"I have checked it."
Luo Xun said: "The case is indeed not related to you, Mr. Tu, but this is even more strange. You said that the mastermind knew that you had nothing to do with this case, so why did he give your business card to the three dead people?"
"How should I know this?" Tu Guolin snorted, "Isn't this what you police officers should check?"
Chi Xia said: "You are right, so we checked."
"What did you find out?" Tu Guolin sat up straight and looked at her.
Chi Xia smiled and said, "Boss Tu, you need to understand one thing. We are in a dominant position now. You have to cooperate with us first before we can tell you the answer. What do you think?"
"What if I don't tell you?" Tu Guolin looked at her.
"Then I won't bother you anymore."
Chi Xia stood up and said, "Police officers are not vegetarians. We can find out what you can find out, and we can also find out what you can't find out."
Luo Xun smiled and stood up as well: "Then I won't bother you anymore, Mr. Tu."
The two took two steps outside, and Luo Xun turned back: "Ah, by the way, Mr. Tu, now that the case is over, it's time for you to leave the guesthouse."
Chi Xia was counting silently with great interest.
Chi Xia had just counted to three when the door was opened.
Tu Guolin's voice also came over: "You two, there's no need to beat around the bush. Come back and I'll talk to you."
Chi Xia and Luo Xun went back again.
"Everyone is short of time, so let's not engage in business stuff. You can't make any money, so why be so pretentious?" Chi Xia said as soon as he sat down.
Tu Guolin looked embarrassed, but he suppressed his displeasure and made a gesture of invitation.
"As far as I know, you and Tu Guoan basically had no contact after your parents divorced. So why did Tu Guoan come to see you before he was arrested? What was his purpose in coming to see you?"
"Send me something."
"What?"
"Pen."
"Pen?" Chi Xia asked, "What kind of pen?"
"A pen." Tu Guolin stood up and took out a pen from his suit pocket: "This is it."
After taking the pen, Chi Xia froze for a moment.
This was the pen that Tu Guoan’s mother gave to him.
Before this, this pen was bought by their mother when their family went shopping, and they bought two in total.
"What did he say when he gave you this pen?" Chi Xia asked as he put down the pen.
"He seldom comes to see me."
Tu Guolin said: "In fact, if he hadn't come to see me that time, I would have thought he was dead somewhere. Although we look alike, we don't have a good relationship."
"I heard that the relationship between twins is closer than that between ordinary brothers."
Luo Xun continued: "After his parents divorced, he followed your father and lived a completely different life from you. Have you and your mother ever thought about helping him?"
"Why do you want to help?"
Tu Guolin found it funny: "People's fate is like this, it's just a matter of choice. If he had chosen to follow my mother, then maybe I would be the one dying in prison today. What's the difference?"
"Of course."
"What?"
Luo Xun put his fingers together: "He chose to stay in Yuji because he couldn't let go of your grandfather, right?"
Tu Guolin was silent for a few seconds, then gave a stiff smile: "Maybe, the old man treats him very well."
"Your brother, who is not on good terms with you, came to see you for the first time in his life, just to give you a pen."
Chi Xia observed the pen and said, "Boss Tu, don't you find it strange? And it seems that you have been using this pen all the time. This doesn't fit with what you said just now that you two brothers have a bad relationship."
This time, Tu Guolin found it funny. He said, "At first I was too lazy to use it. I don't know where he got it from. With the little money he earns, I don't believe he can afford this pen."
Chi Xia looked at him and smiled, waiting for his next words.
Tu Guolin looked at her and said, "But he was arrested within two days. The news of the murder of the entire family reached me. After all, we are related by blood. This cannot be changed. When I saw this pen, I naturally felt a little sad. Human emotions are very complicated, don't you think?"
"You haven't told me yet. What did he say when he gave you the pen?" Chi Xia asked again.
"He was a man who couldn't talk, so he said he would take me there. We stared at each other for a while, and then the secretary came in to remind me that I had to go to a meeting. I asked him to wait for me, and when I came back from the meeting, he had already left."
Tu Guolin said as he recalled.
Chi Xia nodded, seeming to be convinced by his words.
"Then Mr. Tu." She suddenly changed the subject: "Why do you think Tu Guoan suddenly committed suicide? He will be executed in a week. Haven't you ever been curious?"
"Curious, of course I am curious."
Tu Guolin quickly followed up with her question: "But it's just curiosity. As for why, I still say that isn't this what you police officers do? Isn't it? I'm still waiting for you to tell me the answer."
"Boss Tu is right."
Chi Xia agreed with this, but then he said, "But Mr. Tu, since you have no regrets, then what have you been afraid of these past two days?"
"What?" Tu Guolin frowned and looked at her.
"Because of the fox?" She stood up and stretched out her hand to Tu Guolin.
Chi Xia loosened his grip, and a fox keychain fell from his palm and dangled in front of Tu Guolin.
When he saw the fox, Tu Guolin's pupils shrank and he stepped back.
Luo Xun stood up and stood beside Chi Xia, looking at him and said, "Boss Tu, what Shi Guangxuan and the others are holding in their hands is not your business card, but a similar fox logo, right?"
Tu Guolin looked dejected and even a little frightened.
