Chapter 367 A Shocking Phone Call
Zhao Zhengrong was also very surprised by the result, and told Gu Nankai to return to the team as soon as possible. He had been secretly investigating these days to prove his innocence, but what Gu Nankai did not expect was that an accident happened just three days later. What he did not expect was that Zhao Zhengrong would hold Zhang Qingqing hostage at that time.
What followed was the nightmare that has been haunting Gu Nankai for the past three years. Zhao Zhengrong forced Gu Nankai to shoot himself or Zhang Qingqing, but at the moment when he closed his eyes in extreme pain, Zhao Zhengrong shot himself. Then he and Zhang Qingqing fell into the sea together, and their bodies were never found. To be precise, it is unknown whether they are alive or dead.
Everyone more or less knew what happened afterwards, so Gu Nankai didn't say anything more.
After he finished speaking, Wu Qingluan concluded, "We now have a general understanding of the cause and effect of the matter. Putting aside the issue of Gu Nankai's background, the biggest doubt lies in the money laundering case that Zhao Zhengrong was originally responsible for. If Gu Nankai's background and memory mystery are really related to that case, I think that case must not be as simple as it was investigated back then. In this case, the entry point for all our puzzles can only be the money laundering case at the time."
After Wu Qingluan finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement, but everyone was at a loss as to how to start.
It was only a long time before Gu Nankai came to his senses and said, "In that case, let's restart the investigation from the money laundering case. If this is really related to the money laundering case, then the original investigation must have missed a lot of things."
After Gu Nankai finished speaking, Gao Yuan was the first to jump up. He quickly took his laptop from his seat and said, "I'm going to retrieve the files on the money laundering case now. Also, Boss, is there any need for us to investigate the mastermind behind the money laundering case now?"
Everyone was stunned by these words, but then everyone realized what Gao Yuan meant. It was obvious that if there was some unknown or even bigger conspiracy hidden behind the original case, then the money laundering case would not be solved as easily as Gu Nankai had investigated it at the beginning. In other words, the mastermind behind the case that Gu Nankai had found out was just a scapegoat, and it was possible that he knew nothing.
Gu Nankai stared at Gao Yuan's computer screen, his eyes slightly tightened. "We must investigate this. This is also a starting point for us. Not everyone wants to be a scapegoat. Since he could choose to go to jail and didn't reveal anyone else, it means that this person can be controlled. If a person can be controlled, it means that he has a weakness. If we find his weakness, it means that we can learn something from him."
"As expected, old ginger is still spicy!"
Gao Yuan was operating on the computer as he spoke, but what surprised everyone was that the case file was not found in the search system. Gao Yuan tried several times, and even secretly looked at some confidential cases, but he could not find any files on Zhao Zhengrong's case.
"Boss, what's going on?"
Whenever they encountered problems, Gao Yuan and the others would subconsciously ask Gu Nankai, as if as long as Gu Nankai knew, he would definitely give them an answer. But this time, Gu Nankai stared at the screen and saw that there was no prompt for the searched file, and he fell into deep confusion.
It stands to reason that the case was only three years ago, so the file cannot be missing from the archive system. Why is this? Is it an omission? Is there such a coincidence?
No.
Gu Nankai's heart quickly gave a definite answer.
"It seems that we still have to go to the Archives Management Office." Gu Nankai said solemnly after a long time.
They acted as soon as they were told. After Gu Nankai finished speaking, everyone was about to get up and go to the Archives Management Office. But just as everyone walked out of the door of the Serious Crime Unit, Gu Nankai's phone rang.
No one paid attention to it at first, but when they saw Gu Nankai suddenly petrified on the spot, they all stopped in their tracks.
Gu Nankai's expression became extremely strange after hearing a few words from the other end of the phone. Although he still kept the phone to his ear listening, everyone knew that he could no longer hear anything at this moment.
His eyes seemed to have lost their spirit in an instant as he stared blankly at a certain place in front of him, but in fact, he had no focus. He felt that his mind was blank at this moment, as if too many voices were ringing in his ears, familiar and unfamiliar people were talking to him, and it seemed that an extremely familiar face appeared in front of him, either smiling or angry, but every frame of the picture was extremely clear and distinct.
He felt as if he was floating in mid-air.
How is this possible? How is this possible?
Suddenly, there was only this voice left in his mind: Impossible, Impossible...
At this moment, Gu Nankai felt that the blood in his body was flowing rapidly, but his body could not bear the heavy load of the fast flow of blood. As various sounds alternated, he suddenly felt a flash of blood in front of his eyes, and then his whole body twitched violently.
Gu Nankai fainted.
Fortunately, everyone was around him at the time, so when he fell, Li Meng and the others quickly caught him. However, the situation was still something that no one could underestimate. Shang Lu's heart sank as soon as he saw his appearance, and he shouted, "He's so angry, I'll give him first aid, call the emergency number quickly!"
But at this time, the mobile phone that Gu Nankai dropped to the ground was in Wu Qingluan's hand. She clearly saw that the caller ID on the phone showed three words.
Zhao Zhengrong.
Those simple words from the third brother made Wu Qingluan's whole body feel as cold as winter rain at that moment.
"Teacher Wu, what's wrong? What happened?"
Li Meng and the other three boys carried Wu Qingluan towards the car. Gao Yuan came to his senses and was shocked when he saw Wu Qingluan's appearance, but he couldn't let go of Gu Nankai and run over, so he could only shout at the top of his voice.
Wu Qingluan's body trembled as she reacted to Gao Yuan's roar. She turned pale and did not reply to Gao Yuan immediately. Instead, she put the phone to her ear, swallowed her saliva and said, "Excuse me, who are you?"
The other end was obviously a little surprised. After hearing someone talking, a male voice came out: "Hello, we are from Yi County Hospital. We have a patient who was in a car accident and sent to the hospital. We found a new contact through his phone, so we contacted the owner of this phone. Are you Zhao Zhengrong's family members? I hope you can come to the hospital as soon as possible."
Wu Qingluan frowned at this moment, her heart trembled, and she saw that Gu Nankai had been lifted up. She quickly walked forward and wanted to say something to the person on the other end of the phone, but when she came to her senses, the call had been hung up.
As Wu Qingluan walked towards the car, she had a vague feeling in her heart that a huge plot seemed to have surrounded them. This was the beginning of all this. From this moment on, the prologue was completely withdrawn and the real show began.
Gu Nankai did not wake up immediately after arriving at the hospital. The first thing he said when he woke up was to ask Li Meng to stop the car. Li Meng listened to him and immediately stopped the car and waited for Gu Nankai's instructions.
Behind the car were Cao Cang and Shang Lu. In order to prevent Gu Nankai from being too crowded in the car, Wu Qingluan and Gao Yuan drove another car and followed closely behind. When they saw the car in front stopped, they immediately stopped as well. Then they got out of the car and ran to Gu Nankai and the others.
