Chapter 259: It May Be an Acquaintance
Cao Cang, Shang Lu and Li Meng all snorted and rolled their eyes at him when they heard his shameless words. Gao Yuan was still smiling, and he straightened his face and said seriously, "Actually, this boy is easy to find. I can find him with the photo. What I'm worried about is the girl who appeared in Wu Mengjie's house. Now we don't have any clues to find that girl. I think she must have a close relationship with Wu Mengjie, and she might know more."
"It doesn't matter, just find that boy as soon as possible." Gu Nankai stood up and said to Gao Yuan, signaling him not to feel too pressured.
Gao Yuan nodded. Once they got into work mode, everyone quickly got over the fighting and playing. After getting the photo, Gao Yuan quickly went to investigate the boy's background.
"Boss, what should we do now?" Seeing that Gao Yuan had already entered his workplace, Cao Cang asked Gu Nankai.
Gu Nankai pursed his lips, quickly looked at his phone and said, "Wu Qilian's mood is basically acceptable for questioning. So, you and Li Meng go over to question him. As for Ye Lanqing, if she cooperates, you can question her. If she doesn't cooperate, don't bother with her. I'll make arrangements later."
Cao Cang quickly followed Gu Nankai's arrangement, packed up a little, and set off for the hospital with Li Meng.
"Boss, what are the three of us going to do?" After everyone left, Shang Lu pointed at himself and Wu Qingluan and asked Gu Nankai. Gu Nankai smiled and quickly said, "You've worked hard all day examining the bodies. Just stay in the serious crime team to assist Gao Yuan. Teacher Wu and I will go to the woman who used to tutor Wu Mengjie to see if we can find any clues."
Shang Lu breathed a sigh of relief. Gu Nankai quickly found clues about Wu Mengjie's tutor through Gao Yuan, and the two of them quickly went to look for that person with the clues.
"Tell me, who would have the motive to kill Wu Mengjie, a girl, or would it be through some ritualistic method?"
After getting in the car, Wu Qingluan asked Gu Nankai a question, but Gu Nankai then said, "The murderer's killing has a certain sense of ritual, but the fact that he corrupted the victim's body has diluted the sense of ritual a lot. In other words, I think to some extent, the murderer is covering up his sense of ritual."
"It's very likely that the crime was committed by someone I know."
After Gu Nankai finished speaking, he thought about it and expressed his own conclusion.
After listening to his analysis, Wu Qingluan calmed down for a while. Because Gu Nankai was driving, she closed her eyes and thought quietly for a while. After a while, she suddenly opened her eyes and said, "If it's the same as what you said just now, the murderer used aqua regia to corrode the body in order to cover up his sense of ritual, then choosing the murder location should also be part of his sense of ritual. Why did the murderer choose to kill in that laboratory? That place is not the most ideal place to kill. It is even difficult to kill. You have to think about how to get in, how to get out, and how to pry the door in. After this series of operations, unless the murderer must kill here, there is no other explanation."
Wu Qingluan's words suddenly gave Gu Nankai an idea, but just as the idea came to his mind, it was suppressed by a car that suddenly cut in from the front. When he quickly turned the steering wheel to avoid the car, he couldn't remember what he wanted to say just now.
After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't remember what the thought that flashed through his mind was. Finally, he gave up and replied to Wu Qingluan: "What you said is very likely. Let's think about it carefully when we get back."
Wu Qingluan did not say anything else, which was considered as her agreement with his answer. Not long after, the two arrived at their destination, the gate of the residential community where Guo Hui, who was framed by Ye Lanqing for giving birth to Wu Qilian's son, lived.
Ever since Guo Hui gave birth to a son and found Wu Qilian, Wu Qilian has loved this son very much. Although there is not much affection between him and Guo Hui, this son undoubtedly brought the two closer together. With this son, Wu Qilian bought a house for Guo Hui in the best location in the city center. With the help of Wu Qilian, Guo Hui opened a training institution in recent years and is doing well. She is now considered a small boss.
"Wu Qilian is capable, and Guo Hui also has the confidence to hold on. I would say neither of them is easy to deal with." Standing at the door of Guo Hui's house, Wu Qingluan sneered and said.
Gu Nankai nodded in agreement and rang her doorbell. Not long after, a middle-aged woman dressed as a nanny came out. Seeing them standing at the door, she was a little wary and did not open the door. Instead, she asked through the door: "Who are you?"
Gu Nankai and Wu Qingluan quickly revealed their identities. When the nanny heard that they were police officers, her face changed and she became a little scared. Wu Qingluan quickly explained that they just came to inquire about the situation and needed to meet Guo Hui, but this matter was obviously not something the nanny could decide. After thinking about it, she decided that she needed to ask her master's opinion.
Wu Qingluan and Gu Nankai had no choice but to give her some time. They waited for about ten minutes before the nanny came out again. She respectfully opened the door for them and led them in. She explained as she walked: "Officer, we didn't know what happened just now, so we opened the door a little slowly. I hope you can forgive us."
Gu Nankai and Wu Qingluan said they didn't care and soon entered Guo Hui's house under the guidance of the nanny.
Guo Hui was already waiting in the living room. There were some toys played with by the children scattered on the floor. Gu Nankai guessed that Guo Hui should have been playing with her son here before they came, and because of their arrival, the child should have been brought into the house.
Guo Hui still looked a little nervous. When she entered the room, Gu Nankai saw her pressing her phone in a panic. It seemed that she was planning to make a call, but the call didn't seem to go through.
"Mr. Policeman, why did you come to my house? Did Ye Lanqing ask you to come?"
She looks very young, and based on what has happened in recent years, it's hard to guess her actual age. To be honest, when Wu Qingluan saw her for the first time, she almost associated her with a child of Bu Yao's age.
Hearing her ask them this , Gu Nankai smiled softly and asked back, "Ms. Guo, it seems that Ms. Ye often finds someone to deal with you?"
Guo Hui was stunned, and immediately sneered: "It's common for her to want to deal with me, but it's the first time that the police came to my house. Mr. Policeman, I didn't do anything. What's the matter with you coming to our house?"
Guo Hui was a little scared. She had a cell phone in her hand and kept glancing at the screen while talking to Gu Nankai. Seeing how nervous she was, Wu Qingluan glanced at Gu Nankai. After he nodded, she said to Guo Hui, "Ms. Guo, we did come here because of something related to Ms. Ye, but she didn't ask us to come. We mainly wanted to investigate Wu Mengjie's matter with you."
"Meng Jie?"
Hearing that they came because of Wu Mengjie was beyond Guo Hui's expectation. She looked at Wu Qingluan and the others in confusion, not knowing why they were looking for her about Wu Mengjie.
"Wu Mengjie is dead." Gu Nankai stared at Guo Hui and said this. Guo Hui was stunned at first, and then she stared at him in shock. Her eyes were full of disbelief, and she even couldn't control her body and fell back a few steps: "Officer, you...you said this...what do you mean? Mengjie? Dead?"
Obviously, her shock at this moment was from the heart. Gu Nankai looked at her and nodded. After she calmed down a little, she said with a trembling voice: "What... When did it happen?"
