Chapter 2: All the Grass Withers
It was already ten o'clock when Gu Nankai arrived at the crime scene. He saw the big man who kidnapped him standing at the door from a distance.
"Li Meng, a special forces soldier, downgraded to a sniper, his name is just as he is."
However, Gu Nankai was very satisfied with his judgment at the moment. This dark and strong man had clear and bright eyes. He looked rash but was very rigorous in his work. He was a good partner.
Li Meng felt very embarrassed to be praised like this. He also knew that he had done something wrong before. He grinned awkwardly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and scratched his head: "Everyone calls me Mengzi, the captain... I... I just did something wrong..."
It was interesting to hear him talk. Gu Nankai could also see the embarrassment of this man. He smiled faintly and shook his head: "Yes, you did a good job, but you still need to change your recklessness in the future. With your temper, you will suffer a great loss when handling cases."
Gu Nankai walked inside while talking. Li Meng shook his head in confusion and hurriedly followed him. When he got inside, he found that Chen Anning had really spent a lot of money. The office space of the serious crime team was quite grand, at least more grand than he had imagined. However, this person...
Looking at the empty office, Gu Nankai frowned slightly: "What time is the agreed gathering time?"
" Captain! Ten o'clock!"
Gu Nankai looked at the time on the wall. Five minutes had passed. He nodded thoughtfully. He took the information on the table and said, "Post the photos on the blackboard and familiarize yourself with the case."
Li Meng is a good worker. I don’t know if it’s because of the farce in the morning that Gu Nankai still values him so much, but now he obeys Gu Nankai’s orders.
Just as Li Meng pasted the photos and Gu Nankai was sorting them out, someone came out from somewhere inside the office. He looked down at the documents in his hand as he walked and said, "The evidence brought from the scene is too scarce. We have to go to the scene to take a look."
The man walked up to the two of them and then raised his head. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes and a fair complexion, but his serious look made people know that he was a serious and rigorous person. He looked very solemn, perhaps because he saw there were only two people at the scene, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and his gaze moved from Li Meng to Gu Nankai.
The man looked to be in his thirties, with a tall and straight figure. At this moment, he was staring at the contents on the blackboard, gently stroking his chin with his index finger and thumb, and suddenly turned his head to look at him. His eyes seemed a little tired, but still could not hide the efficiency in them. His temperament seemed lazy, but when his eyes looked at you, you would involuntarily have a sense of oppression as if you were seen through.
Cao Cang was startled by the stare and quickly extended his hand to introduce himself to him: "Trace Inspector, Cao Cang."
Gu Nankai smiled at him in a friendly manner and stretched out his hand to shake his: "Gu Nankai."
Li Meng may not know Gu Nankai at all, but those who work in criminal investigation in Longhai City are all familiar with Gu Nankai. Gu Nankai ignored the surprise in his eyes and introduced him to Li Meng: "Li Meng, special forces soldier, sniper."
Li Meng grinned again and saluted Cao Cang. Just as the three of them had finished talking, a female voice rushed in excitedly. Before anyone could react, a cute face that looked like a child appeared in front of Gu Nankai, and she exclaimed in admiration at him: "Oh my God! Gu Nankai, my idol!"
The three men present looked at this fangirl-like girl, and all three grown men were a little embarrassed. Gu Nankai quietly took a step back, but he didn't expect that the girl suddenly changed into a different person, from the passionate girl just now to a cold girl. She also stepped back and said in a standard way: "Where is the autopsy room? I need a body."
The three grown men looked at each other. Cao Cang raised his thumb blankly and pointed in a certain direction behind him. The girl ran away. While the three were still in a daze, someone got up like a ghost not far away. She looked sleepy and spoke to the three in a nonchalant voice: "Shang Lu, the youngest female forensic doctor in the forensic department. I heard that she is the granddaughter of the most authoritative old man Zhang in the forensic department. But she is very stupid and is always used as a gun by others."
Gu Nankai looked at him and raised his lips slightly: "Gao Yuan, a computer expert, his only weakness is hacking other people's computers."
Gao Yuan still looked carefree and spread his hands: "I'm so bored, there's nothing to do, I have to practice and consolidate my skills."
Gu Nankai didn't say much. He looked at the time and saw that it was already half past ten. His expression changed immediately. He changed his relaxed attitude and directly ordered: "Now that everyone is here, Cao Cang, Li Meng, follow me to the deceased's home. Shang Lu, check the body. Gao Yuan, you search for clues through the Internet. We will split into three groups and gather here to report at one o'clock."
At this point, the serious crime team that was put together in just a few hours was established, and the first cooperation between several people also began. Gu Nankai was in the car, watching the scenes outside the window flash by, and for the first time, fragments of the case three years ago flashed through his mind. Some things are integrated into the bones, and you can't get rid of them even if you want to deliberately break free.
"The deceased, Hu Minghai, died of paraquat poisoning. The crime scene was on his bed in the bedroom. The person who reported the case was the family nanny. Since Hu Minghai's death, the house has fallen into the hands of Hu Minghai's mistress, Gu Mei."
Before entering Hu Minghai's house, Cao Cang gave a brief introduction to the deceased. Gu Nanhai also learned about this from the information, but he was a little surprised when he heard about the mistress Gu Mei: "Logically speaking, this house will never fall into the hands of Hu Minghai's mistress. Is there any hidden story behind this?"
Cao Cang pursed his lips, still looking serious: "When the case was sent to me, there were very few clues. I guess we have to find the clues ourselves."
Gu Nankai expressed his understanding. The case happened only two days ago. Otherwise, Chen Anning would not have used Li Meng's trick to frame him. Naturally, the clues of this case were also involved by non-professionals. Everyone knew that the Criminal Police Brigade of Longhai City had become a decoration since three years ago. In recent years, the few capable ones were transferred to other places, and the incompetent ones were all sent to Longhai.
“I guess this scene has also been destroyed.”
Gu Nankai's voice deepened, and he motioned for Li Meng to go forward and ring the doorbell.
The door opened very quickly. As soon as the three stepped in, a charming voice and a person floated over. A sexy woman was trying to stick to Li Meng. Li Meng attacked reflexively without paying attention to the force. While everyone was stunned, the woman was already on the ground groaning and unable to get up.
Obviously, Li Meng also knew that he was impulsive again this time. He looked at Gu Nankai helplessly, his dark face flushed red. Cao Cang was stunned and stood weakly behind Gu Nankai. Gu Nankai felt a black line flash across his forehead, but he had to clean up this mess. He didn't want the woman who was knocked down to speak first in a coquettish voice.
