Chapter 53 Motive for murder
Wu Qingluan thought of it quickly. Seeing Gu Nankai's helpless expression because of Cao Cang's forgetfulness, she smiled secretly. At the same time, she also found that Li Meng and Gao Yuan were also puzzled. Then she said to Cao Cang, "How long do you want to keep the cat in the guard room?"
"Oh!" After Wu Qingluan's reminder, Cao Cang suddenly realized and remembered that he had such a thing. Gao Yuan and the others were still confused. Gu Nankai did not explain first, letting them guess randomly. He first urged Cao Cang: "Go and come back quickly, the security guard is getting impatient."
Cao Cang was not used to bothering others. Although the security guard was very nice, it was already time for him to get off work. In fact, Cao Cang was thinking about something else besides this. He was indeed worried about something, so he quickly said hello to everyone and left immediately.
"What... happened?" Gao Yuan looked at Gu Nankai, then at Wu Qingluan: "Where did a cat appear?"
Wu Qingluan smiled complacently, but still told them about the cat found at the crime scene, and informed the three people who were not at the scene at the time of their analysis. After understanding the situation, Li Meng sighed: "It turns out that Xie Lingling is a kind girl. Why would someone want to kill her?"
He scratched his head with a puzzled look on his face. Seeing his silly and cute appearance, Shang Lu jumped up and slapped him on the head, and said with some regret: "Idiot, have you ever seen a murderer who distinguishes between good and bad people when killing people?"
Li Meng reacted for a moment, then quickly got off the phone with some embarrassment: "Yeah, hehe..."
Everyone laughed in their hearts when they saw his look. This guy was so funny when he was innocent. Gu Nankai looked at the time. As he was chatting and laughing, some time had passed. It was already 10:30 in the evening of the day of the crime. Everyone was busy looking for clues and analyzing the case all day, and they didn't feel anything was wrong despite the tension.
But as soon as they relaxed, someone's stomach started to growl, so loud that everyone present could hear it.
After a short period of silence, laughter finally broke out one after another, and the protagonist who caused this laughter, Comrade Li Meng, blushed with shame. He always felt that he was not doing well here or there. At this moment, his stomach started to make such a loud noise that he didn't know where to put his face.
"Okay, okay, I'll deduct one day from you. Go out and eat something while there's still a night market. Otherwise, how can you work tonight if you're hungry? And our comrade Li Meng." Gu Nankai stood up and said with a smile, "Our comrade Li Meng has been running around and doing field work all day, but he hasn't had a drop of water. It's really hard for him to hold on until now."
It is true to say so. Ever since the serious crime squad formed a team, Li Meng's appetite has been the biggest among them. His biggest hobby is to eat his fill. Throughout the whole day, everyone discovered that Li Meng really didn't complain of being hungry the entire day.
"Good boy, well done." Gao Yuan also reacted quickly. He patted Li Meng on the shoulder a few times with a "kind" look on his face and said something earnestly.
Li Meng had just managed to calm down from Gu Nankai's praise. After Gao Yuan said that, he suddenly felt something was wrong. By the time he realized what was going on, the others had already reached the gate. The young man suddenly slapped his head and shouted, "Gao Yuan! You are shameless! You tricked me!"
Seeing that he finally realized that he was laughing at him, Gao Yuan jumped up and slipped away before he could run over. Gu Nankai watched the two young men fighting with interest, and suddenly felt that he himself was a little younger.
After a fight, the few of them quickly solved the problem of eating. It was already dark at this time, and the pedestrians on the road were all rushing home, but they were heading to their workplaces to face a new round of struggle. Gu Nankai looked at the hustle and bustle around him, and suddenly felt an indescribable emotion in his heart, as if a few years ago, he and another person often went out to eat like this, and then the two of them would go back to work overtime after fighting, just like Li Meng and Gao Yuan Shanglu who were still quarreling at this moment.
At that time, he always felt that he was younger and more energetic than them. However, since the people around him left one by one, he suddenly felt that he was quite pitiful and had no motivation to do many things. In the process of handling the cases he took over since taking office, it can be said that to a large extent, it was the vitality exuded by these young people that influenced him.
Thinking of this, he smiled silently to himself.
That's good. He will always find out those unknown hidden secrets step by step. His slightly dim eyes quickly adjusted and were replaced by a faint calmness. It was difficult to see through this person, but at this moment, a hint of hope and excitement was revealed in those unpredictable eyes.
Shang Lu quickly joined in the fight with Gao Yuan and Li Meng. Wu Qingluan had been walking side by side with her, but now that she ran away, she was left alone. She subconsciously turned her head to look for Gu Nankai, and happened to see the emotions in his eyes that had not yet been retracted.
Gu Nankai obviously didn't expect her to turn around at this moment. The emotions on his face didn't have time to disappear in an instant. For a moment, the two of them fell into awkward silence. The three young men in front were immersed in this brief relaxation, while the two slightly older ones were both embarrassed.
"Um... you got sand in your eyes, right?" The awkwardness was still going on, but Wu Qingluan suddenly said this. Gu Nankai was slightly stunned, and the muscles on his face seemed to tremble a few times uncontrollably . He quickly and unnaturally reached out to rub his eyes, and soon rubbed his eyes red. Then he looked at Wu Qingluan and smiled awkwardly: "Haha... yes, as I get older, it's easy for sand to get into my eyes. There's nothing I can do... Yingfeng Tears..."
Wu Qingluan could easily spot clues from people's words and actions. As a man whom she often couldn't see clearly, his nonsense at this moment was too obvious to her. She often enjoyed laughing at Gu Nankai's jokes, but every time he resolved them perfectly or didn't care at all. But at this moment, when she really saw his obvious embarrassment and unnaturalness, she suddenly couldn't laugh .
Even a little bit sad.
Because of the embarrassment just now , Wu Qingluan didn't know how to communicate with him. She turned around with a slightly unnatural look on her face. Seeing her like this, Gu Nankai's sudden emotion in his heart had dissipated. Seeing her take a few quick steps and integrate into Shang Lu and their team, the corners of his mouth curled up into a bitter but relieved smile.
Soon they returned to the serious crime team. Not long after, Cao Cang also hurried over. Gu Nankai clapped his hands and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work tonight. Let's get to work!"
At the command, Shang Lu quickly returned to her autopsy room, while Gao Yuanze sat in front of his computer with the broken mobile phone. Relatively speaking, Gu Nankai, Wu Qingluan, Cao Cang and Li Meng did not have much to do at the moment, because all the clues had to be confirmed by Gao Yuan and Shang Lu before they could take action.
