Chapter 22 A Complicated Case
"Don't push me!"
"Bang!"
Two voices sounded at the same time. When Gu Nankai opened his eyes in horror, he saw the two people in front of him falling backwards and then falling into the surging sea. He clearly saw the blood as if it was about to drown him. The surging sea turned into bright red blood in an instant and rushed towards him.
"Gu Nankai! Open your eyes!" Wu Qingluan roared loudly, and even slapped him in the face. Gu Nankai suddenly opened his eyes, and the people he saw were looking at him in shock. He paused for a few seconds before realizing that he was possessed again.
"I'm sorry...I...I...that..."
Gu Nankai, who realized the situation, stood up in a hurry. He looked rarely flustered, his face full of panic and guilt in front of everyone. At this moment, he had not realized that this nightmare had made his clothes soaked with sweat. He got out of the car with lifeless eyes, as if he wanted to get away from the crowd as soon as possible and find a quiet place. Several people were worried about his situation and wanted to follow him, but Wu Qingluan looked at his back and stopped them.
"Leave him alone."
Shang Lu poked his head out and asked, "Captain, what's wrong? Do you really not want our help?"
She was the youngest and didn't know much about what happened three years ago. Cao Cang and Gao Yuan knew something. Li Meng came back with him and they thought he was just tired and fell asleep. But when they arrived at the place, they couldn't wake Gu Nankai up. So they called Wu Qingluan and the others to come down. At this moment, he was also in a daze.
"It's okay. He's an adult. What can do to him?" Wu Qingluan said this, but the worry in her eyes did not disappear. She had secretly seen Gu Nankai in this state several times. Every time, Gu Nankai would wake up from the nightmare by himself. Then she would find that he would smoke all night to relieve his emotions. This was the first time that Gu Nankai showed such a side of him in front of everyone. She was still worried, but could only pretend not to care.
Gu Nankai is a person who wraps himself up. He is like a hedgehog. It is difficult for people to get close to him. He has too many secrets .
In the serious crime team office, everyone was waiting for Gu Nankai's arrival with mixed feelings. It was already late at night, but everyone stayed here voluntarily. Gu Nankai finally appeared after disappearing alone for half an hour. He had changed his clothes and smiled apologetically when he saw everyone waiting for him: "I'm sorry, everyone. I had a nightmare and it took me a long time to recover."
Everyone tacitly pretended that it didn't matter. Gao Yuan, who was originally lying on the table playing mobile games, stopped playing and said, "Hey, I won't hide it from you all. Ever since I saw Sheng Yuandong's corpse, I've been having nightmares every day. It's scary!"
"Why are you so useless!" Li Meng, who was beside him, teased him. Gao Yuan glared at him and said, "You are useless. You are so strong and muscular. If I had you, I wouldn't be afraid!"
Everyone laughed. Gu Nankai knew that Gao Yuan was trying to help him out. He knew in his heart that this was everyone's goodwill and understanding.
"Okay, stop joking and tell me the situation. What did you find today?" Wu Qingluan was relieved to see that he had recovered as before, and asked everyone to return their attention to the case itself.
Gu Nankai gave Li Meng the opportunity to speak. Li Meng was very excited and described the day's inquiries between the two in great detail. It can be seen that his learning and memory abilities are indeed good. Gu Nankai only gave him a few pointers when they were in the car. At this time, Li Meng added a lot of small details when he was reporting on the case, which made Gu Nankai very satisfied.
"You said that the Zheng family gave Lin Lin a sum of money. Do you know the amount of that money?" After listening to Li Meng's report, Wu Qingluan turned to Gu Nankai and asked.
Gu Nankai nodded: "I asked Li Meng to call and ask after I left Zheng's house." He stretched out his index fingers and crossed them: "The Zheng family gave Lin Lin a full 100,000."
"A total of 5 million yuan in compensation was given to Sheng Yuandong and others, and it's still not enough. Zheng Yi's parents used all their money to buy insurance for their son. Where did they get the 100,000 yuan for Lin Lin?" Gao Yuan also expressed his opinion.
"Yes, there are many doubts. Zheng Yi's parents have been farmers all their lives. Even if their godson Zheng Hai has become successful, the current living conditions of the Zheng family are far beyond their ability to bear." Gu Nankai said as he took out his cell phone and flipped through the album to find the photos he took at Zheng's house. He slid the phone in front of Gao Yuan and said, "This is what I took at Zheng's house. It should be a set of lottery numbers. Start with this number and see if you can find anything."
Gao Yuan became interested and happily picked up the phone to check it, but his face immediately fell: "Oh, there is a missing number in this set of numbers. It will take a long time to find it out."
"One night is enough for you. You'll have to work hard tonight." Gu Nankai ignored his complaints and looked directly at Wu Qingluan and asked, "How are you guys doing?"
Wu Qingluan gave a general account of their situation with Zhao Kaichuan. Gu Nankai listened attentively as she expressed her opinions from time to time. Wu Qingluan paused and said, "According to the business card we got from Zhao Kaichuan, Gao Yuan and Cao Cang found out that Zhao Kaichuan and Sheng Yuandong were likely to have a gambling hobby, and that the Kaisheng Group might also be linked to the casino business. Gao Yuan is still working hard to dig out more information."
Gu Nankai sometimes nodded, sometimes frowned, and sometimes remained silent. A lot of information was mixed together. He quickly integrated and pieced it together in his mind, and it seemed that he had figured out something.
" When we went to the insurance company at your request and found something more interesting." Wu Qingluan seemed very confident in his ability to work with the team members.
"Tell me about it."
Wu Qingluan curled her lips, picked up the cup in front of her and drank two sips of water, looked at Gu Nankai with a fake smile and said, "You're thirsty, let Shang Lu talk."
Shang Lu chuckled and met Gu Nankai's eyes. The smile on his face did not fade. He said, "Sister Qingluan and I went to the insurance company to investigate. The employee who was in charge of Zheng Yi's insurance had already left. We asked about the time of his leaving. It was a bit of a coincidence that the employee left just after the matter of Zheng Yi's compensation was settled."
Gu Nankai nodded slightly, motioning her to continue. Shang Lu continued, "After that, we investigated the information of this employee and found that this employee named Li Ting was a college classmate of Sheng Yuandong, and they had been in a relationship before."
This was a great discovery. Gu Nankai seemed a little excited: "Where is this Li Ting now?"
Shang Lu looked at Wu Qingluan, who curled her lips and said, "She went abroad ten years ago. I learned from a sister she had a good relationship with that she got married and had no relatives in China, so we haven't seen her come back in these years. But we thought Li Ting should know something about this, but as soon as we called and revealed our identity, Li Ting hung up on us."
Wu Qingluan seemed a little discouraged, Gu Nankai comforted her: "It's okay, Li Ting's eagerness to hang up the phone just proves that she has something to hide. This way, we can solve one of our mysteries." He leaned over, put one hand on the chair, and tapped the table with a fist: "The evidence we have obtained so far is that only Zheng Yi's parents knew about the insurance purchase. We can't find any necessary connection between Sheng Yuandong, Zhao Kaichuan and Zheng Yi's death. Now I figured it out. Li Ting and Sheng Yuandong had a relationship. What if she revealed this to Sheng Yuandong? What if the cooperation with Zheng Yi was deliberately planned by Sheng Yuandong? The cooperation was just the first step to trap Zheng Yi. Their ultimate goal is Zheng Yi's death and the compensation behind him!"
