Chapter 43 The Living People Chattering
"Ask for leave?" Gu Nankai was a little surprised, but soon asked, "Did something happen at home?"
Cao Cang was a little nervous and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, it's some personal matters, I...I will be back soon!"
Seeing him like this, Gu Nankai knew that this was someone else's private matter, and if he continued to ask, it would seem disrespectful to others. He readily approved Cao Cang's leave, and Cao Cang left in a hurry.
Gu Nankai frowned slightly as he looked at the instant noodles he had just finished eating on the table.
Not long after Cao Cang left, Li Meng and Shang Lu came together. The weather outside seemed a little hot, and both of them were sweating. As soon as they entered the door, they each drank a large glass of water. Gu Nankai then asked, "How is Zhang Han doing? Is everything arranged?"
It turned out that these two people were sent by Gu Nankai to investigate the follow-up of Qian Hao's case. Both Zhang Han and Zheng Yi's parents needed a final visit, so Gu Nankai sent two people over.
"Everything is settled. Although Zheng Yi's parents agreed to use all their property to compensate Zhang Han, Zhang Han only took a part of it. However, that part is enough for him to go back to college and graduate. Zheng Yi's parents were so moved that they didn't know what to say. They thought about coming to thank and apologize, but Zhang Han didn't give them a chance to meet. I was the one who resolved all the issues in between." Li Meng said.
"I understand." Gu Nankai had some understanding of Zhang Han's personality. He knew that if it wasn't for the money, she wouldn't have taken the money from the Zheng family. He had done some ideological work at the beginning to make her feel at ease to accept the money.
Thinking of this, Gu Nankai asked again: " How ?"
This time it was Shang Lu who answered his question: "Zheng Yi and his gang faked their own death to defraud insurance, and they made Qian Hao into this state. This constitutes the crime of intentional homicide. The court has already formally filed a lawsuit. As for Qian Hao's case, because his case is complicated, the court is now discussing a compromise solution. However, with two lives at stake, the result is predictable."
Gu Nankai could not deny this statement. No matter who it is, as long as they go against the rules, they will have to pay the price, whether they are the victim or the perpetrator. This society can only be stable because of the rules. If everyone can ignore the existence of rules and do whatever they want, they will definitely be punished by the rules.
"By the way, how is Qin Lu's situation?" Gu Nankai suddenly thought of this woman. He had never mentioned her since he saw her in the hospital after Sheng Yuandong's death. He still remembered what Li Ting said at the beginning: if Qin Lu hadn't found her, she wouldn't have called. Oh, right!
Gu Nankai slapped his head and said, "Do you still remember the recording that Li Ting mentioned? Didn't she say she sent it to Qin Lu?"
No one had thought of such important evidence. Gu Nankai was in a hurry to leave to find Qin Lu. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and turned around, only to see that those people were looking at him as if they were laughing at him. He was stunned for a moment, but then he quickly reacted.
"Qin Lu came here a few days ago!" Shang Lu smiled and solved his doubts.
"You were interrogating Qian Hao in the interrogation room at the time. It's normal that you didn't know when Qin Lu came. Besides..." Wu Qingluan shrugged, "You didn't ask us. Gao Yuan wanted to report the situation to you at the time , but you said you would tell us when you came back. It was three days later when you came back, and the physical evidence had been sent to the evidence room. What's the point of telling you?"
Gu Nankai looked at Gao Yuan, who nodded seriously: "I swear, Teacher Wu is telling the truth."
Everyone was looking at him like this, and Gu Nankai realized that it was indeed his own problem. He scratched his hair to cover up and smiled: "I was so busy that I forgot, so busy that I forgot, hehe..."
"Qin Lu is doing well. She has moved back to her parents' home. What's the name of that guy?" Wu Qingluan suddenly couldn't remember. She tilted her head and tried to recall. Shang Lu reminded her, "Gao Mingfei."
"Yes, yes, Gao Mingfei." Wu Qingluan said, "They are both doing well now. As for the Kaisheng Group, Qin Lu said the situation is a bit complicated, but she can handle it. She is quite busy. We didn't ask many questions for details and left."
Wu Qingluan finally chose to explain the general situation to Gu Nankai.
Everyone expressed deep understanding of Gu Nankai's attempt to cover up his crime, and then turned around with a smile and went back to their seats to do their own things. Gu Nankai walked out, and Wu Qingluan quietly watched him leave without frowning, her eyes full of thought.
"Oh, I can finally have two days of leisure." Li Meng has been busy these days. For this carnivorous young man with a huge appetite, every time he goes out on a field trip, he is not afraid of the harsh environment, but he is afraid of not having enough to eat.
"Hey, you'd better eat a few mouthfuls of rice quickly, otherwise who knows if you will suddenly receive a call about the case later." Gao Yuan thought about the night when the case was solved and Li Meng asked him to treat him to a meal. He found it funny to see him eating and drinking a table full of food by himself. He said to Gao Yuan while secretly sending the photos he took at that time to the group where several people were.
Because of his previous job, Li Meng was not as good at using mobile phones as the others. He was still in the process of understanding the current social software and did not often check his mobile phone on weekdays. At this moment, seeing everyone swiping their mobile phones in their hands, he did not think anything was wrong until Shang Lu laughed out loud.
He walked over, not understanding, and said, "What are you looking at? It's so funny. Let me see it too."
Shang Lu was so immersed in his own laughter that he couldn't help himself. When Li Meng came over, it was too late. Li Meng happened to see the photo Gao Yuan had posted. Li Meng's face suddenly changed, and he turned around and rushed towards Gao Yuan: "Gao Yuan, how dare you secretly take a photo of me!"
Wu Qingluan and Shang Lu were still smiling at the photos. Gao Yuan and Li Meng ran out one after the other. For a moment, everyone was immersed in such a relaxed and joyful atmosphere, but soon, new case notifications appeared on everyone's mobile phones.
"You all received the text message, right?"
Gu Nankai came back soon. As soon as he entered the serious crime team, he started to ask. At this time, Cao Cang ran in breathlessly: "Luckily we made it in time."
"Didn't you have something to do? Why did you come back?" Gu Nankai asked quickly when he saw Cao Cang.
"The matter has been resolved. The case is important, so I rushed back. It's only a few hours anyway, so it won't be a problem." Cao Cang explained casually, but Gu Nankai still noticed the dense beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Pack your things and go!" He saw everything and didn't say anything. Instead, he directly asked everyone to rush to the crime scene.
"It hasn't been long since a case was concluded and a new case has arisen. I wish the world could be peaceful forever..." Gao Yuan complained in the car with some distress.
"If it weren't for your bad mouth, we would still be enjoying the air-conditioning in the office." Shang Lu responded to him without giving in. Except for Gu Nankai and Cao Cang, the rest of the people knew about the conversation between Gao Yuan and Li Meng just now. He just said there was a new case, and sure enough, the case really came within a few minutes.
"Can you blame me? I just said it casually. Who knew the murderer knew me so well?" Gao Yuan was angry.
"Okay, stop arguing." Gu Nankai said, "The person who reported the case said that the dead person was a girl, and she died in the rental house. I have asked him to protect the scene and not let anyone in. We have to rush to the scene of the crime, otherwise the more people there are, the easier it is to destroy the scene."
"Rental house?" Gao Yuan raised his eyebrows. "This landlord is really unlucky. Who would dare to live in that house?"
"That's no big deal. What's there to be afraid of dead people? In my opinion, the only truly scary things in this world are the living. All the monsters, ghosts, and superstitions and legends cannot escape the barrier of humans. In short, you are just scaring yourself." Shang Lu replied to Gao Yuan with disapproval.
"That's the truth, Shanglu. You're so young, but you're so insightful." Wu Qingluan praised Shanglu, who was overjoyed and moved closer to her seat: "Right, Sister Qingluan, you think what I said is quite right, right? We are forensic pathologists. The more dead people we see, the more we hate living people. They keep chattering and making trouble."
His words were ambiguous. Anyway, Gao Yuan was pointed at, but as for the other things that happened, no one knows.
