Chapter 238 Thirty Suspects
This was the third time he had searched the entire laboratory, but in the end there was no progress. Gu Nankai couldn't help feeling a little annoyed. After calming himself down, he was ready to meet up with Wu Qingluan and the others, but just as he was walking outside, he bumped into something and stumbled. He immediately held onto the corner of the table in front of him. His foot was still a little painful, but Gu Nankai's attention was attracted by something else.
He lowered his head and looked back at the corner of the table that had just hit him. Soon his eyes lit up and he squatted down, staring at that place with burning eyes. After a while, he put on gloves and carefully put what he found into the evidence bag.
It was really a case of searching for something everywhere but finally finding it without any effort. He sneered when he stood up and moved his feet. It was really painful, but he accepted it as long as he could find some useful clues. He looked at the time and there were less than a few minutes left before the agreed meeting time. After leaving the laboratory, he did not leave, but waited for Cao Cang and Li Meng to arrive.
Cao Cang and Li Meng met Gu Nankai at the agreed time, but Wu Qingluan and Gao Yuan did not return on time.
"Boss, why don't we go and take a look? What if Teacher Wu and the others are encountering some difficulties?" Cao Cang said quickly, temporarily putting their reporting work on hold.
Gu Nankai thought about it and felt that what he said was right, so he quickly said, "Okay, let's go find them first. How are you doing over there? Have you found anything?"
The three men walked and talked. Li Meng said, "Those guys really hit the nail on the head. We are still not sure how the murderer got here, but if he left, he should have left using the ladder at the construction site. He should have set up the ladder in advance. Although he has removed the ladder, we found traces on the wall and the ground."
"Very good, have you found any clues about the murderer's identity?" Gu Nankai paused slightly, then quickly continued walking and asked.
Speaking of Cao Cang, he was a little hesitant. Gu Nankai turned around and took a look: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Cao Cang nodded immediately: "Indeed, Boss, I suspect the murderer may be a woman."
"woman?"
This time, Gu Nankai stopped walking and turned to look at Cao Cang and Li Meng, frowning. Soon, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he started walking again, saying, "Tell me, why do you have such doubts?"
Cao Cang explained, "Li Meng and I found a ladder that the murderer might have used. Because it rained recently, the ground at the construction site was not very dry, so when the murderer escaped, his weight was applied to the ladder, causing gravity on the ground. From the degree to which the ladder sank into the ground, I observed that the murderer's weight was more likely to be a girl."
After listening to Cao Cang's analysis, Gu Nankai nodded and said, "Okay, this is a big breakthrough. Let's analyze it carefully when we get back. Now let's go see if Teacher Wu and the others have found anything."
Li Meng and Cao Cang did not say anything else, and the three of them quickly found Wu Qingluan and Gao Yuan.
"Teacher Wu, what are you doing?" Li Meng asked quickly when he saw Gao Yuan and Wu Qingluan. The two of them immediately turned around and looked at them. Wu Qingluan immediately glanced at the time and realized that they had exceeded the meeting time.
"We found a coat in the trash can on the third floor. There was some blood on the coat. We suspected it was related to the murderer or the victim. We casually looked in other trash cans to see if there were any clues. We forgot the time for a moment."
Wu Qingluan stood up from beside the trash can and explained to Gu Nankai and the others. Gu Nankai's eyes lit up and he immediately walked forward.
"It is a unisex jacket that can be worn by both men and women. The size is relatively loose, so it looks like a boyfriend style when worn by girls and fits perfectly when worn by boys. So we are not sure whether the owner of this jacket is a man or a woman at this time."
"It's okay, it's already good enough." Gu Nankai was not disappointed, but quickly called Li Meng and others to search together, but unfortunately, no one found anything else.
At noon, Gu Nankai and his friends had lunch in the school cafeteria at the invitation of Zhang Quan. Because they had to wait for the results of the investigation on those naughty children, Gu Nankai and his friends agreed. At the dinner table, Gu Nankai and his friends did not see the principal's voice, so they asked a question.
"Officer, this case has had a very bad impact on our school. As soon as the media heard the news, they came to the principal, and he is busy dealing with them. You must solve the case as soon as possible, so that the school can be cleaned up sooner and students can go back to school as soon as possible."
Zhang Quan's face was full of worry, and he pleaded with Gu Nankai and the others.
Gu Nankai quickly replied: "Director Zhang, don't worry, we will solve the case as soon as possible, but we also need the cooperation of the school, otherwise our work will be very difficult."
"Of course, officer. The school will definitely cooperate with the police investigation." Zhang Quan was afraid that Gu Nankai and the others might misunderstand something, so he said quickly, and then immediately said, "By the way, we have sent a few more people to help those children. I think we can get the results you want soon."
"In fact, we can just contact the counselors of each department for this matter. Officers, why are you..."
Zhang Quan was a little puzzled as to why Gu Nankai and the others had to go through so much trouble to let the kids take charge of this matter, and hesitantly expressed his problem.
Gu Nankai had finished eating, wiped his mouth, and explained to him with a smile: "Director Zhang, at first I also wanted to start with the counselors, but this matter is very serious, and there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents in the school. Those children are quite capable, so if we let them confirm the number of people, it can reduce a lot of trouble. Besides, can you ensure that every student will ask for leave from the counselors before leaving school?"
"this……"
Zhang Quan was speechless. It was undeniable that what Gu Nankai said made sense. Some students did leave school without asking for leave. Add to that the entire class and the counselors, and all the "relationships" in between. The final reported result would definitely be false. So, letting a few students investigate personally would not only yield the correct results, but would also serve the purpose of disciplining these children.
He suddenly smiled and looked at Gu Nankai with admiration in his eyes: "Officer, I have to admire you, your consideration is really thoughtful."
Gu Nankai smiled softly: "Occupational diseases, they are all occupational diseases."
The information Gu Nankai and his team needed was delivered before the expected time. Seeing the guys were so tired that they were eating so hard, Gu Nankai sneered and gave Gao Yuan and Li Meng a look. Several people quickly brought the food over. The guys were so tired that they quickly sat down and ate a few mouthfuls of rice. The way they wolfed down the food was funny.
"Uncle, the results are all here. After our investigation, in addition to the number of students from various departments of the school who asked for leave from the counselors, there are also people who are not in school now and left without asking for leave. We have contacted them one by one. Among these students who are not in school, there are only 30 who cannot be contacted now."
"Thirty?"
This number of people made Li Meng choke and he asked a question.
One of the kids looked up and gave him a resentful look: "Uncle... do you know how many people there are in our school..."
Li Meng looked at them, glanced at the document in Gu Nankai's hand , and after seeing the total number of students in the school, he smiled at the child ingratiatingly: "Thank you for your hard work. It's really hard for you."
"You have done a great job in identifying thirty people."
