Chapter 91 The Mysterious Designer
Shang Lu thought about what Gu Nankai said for a while, then nodded: "Indeed, this possibility is very high. I only found slight scratches on the back of the second body, but these scratches were not caused by external forces. It is very likely that the victim was lying somewhere and caused them. It should be a plant with soft stems and leaves that is not too tall."
This statement is consistent with the conditions found at the second crime scene that Gu Nankai and his team went to. Gu Nankai nodded and said, "You are right. There is indeed the plant you mentioned at the place of his death. It is the allium commonly used in green belts."
"That's right." Shang Lu said.
"Did both victims take an overdose of Viagra?" Gu Nankai asked to reconfirm this information, and Shang Lu responded affirmatively: "Both of them. You have seen the photos. The victims' cut genitals were still erect. You can imagine how much they took at the time. But the strange thing is that the victims should have resisted strongly, but there were no signs of resistance on the two bodies. How did the murderer kill them quietly when the victims were emotionally agitated?"
Although Shang Lu found a lot of things, there seemed to be many suspicious points about the two bodies that made people puzzled and at a loss as to where to start.
"Can you confirm how the victim took Viagra?" Gu Nankai asked after thinking for a while.
Shang Lu quickly replied, "It should have been mixed with drinking water, and the victims died shortly after drinking it, resulting in Viagra residue in their stomachs. From the lung material we extracted, we can probably determine that it was mixed with drinking water. As for how the victims drank it and under what circumstances, you have to investigate. It's not my expertise."
Gu Nankai took a deep breath, smiled slightly at her joke to show his attitude, and then pointed to the evidence they found at the crime scene and the evidence distribution work brought by Yang Dong: "Shang Lu, you work harder and see if the bloodstains on these ash fragments are consistent with the victim. Gao Yuan, you investigate the source of this cufflink. Cao Cang, you and Li Meng will get the peony flowers on the deceased's organs from Shang Lu and check if there are any clues in the tattoo shop in Longhai City. Teacher Wu and I will investigate the identities of these two people and see if there are any missing persons records in other cities."
Several people quickly received their respective tasks, and then drank several glasses of water before dispersing to work.
"We have to investigate the missing persons records in other cities. Not to mention the huge workload, we don't know if other places will cooperate. What's more, what if these two people are not missing at all, but are on a business trip or something like that? Wouldn't all our work be in vain?" As soon as Wu Qingluan left the serious crime team, she expressed doubts about Gu Nankai's arrangements.
Gu Nankai did not deny her statement, but finally said with a look of relief on his face: "Don't worry, I have been a police officer for so many years and I still have a few friends. In the past few years, when we were handling cases, we inevitably met people from other police stations. There are acquaintances there who can help us , but we still have to find the information ourselves."
In this way, the originally huge workload has actually been reduced by more than half, but the hardest and most tiring part still has to be completed by themselves. This is much easier for Wu Qingluan, and the two of them drove away quickly.
It was not until ten o'clock in the evening that Gu Nankai and Wu Qingluan returned to the serious crime team, both with tired eyes. God knows how many case files they had read in this short day, but in the end they still didn't find any clues. Both of them had a look of loss on their faces. Wu Qingluan lay on the table as soon as she came in.
Gao Yuan had been looking for clues about the cufflinks. When he saw Gu Nankai and the others coming back, he knew from Wu Qingluan's expression that their progress was not very good. Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was a little depressed, he stood up from his chair, stretched his neck, and stretched his waist: "Teacher Wu, did you come back empty-handed?"
Wu Qingluan yawned lazily and answered Gao Yuan's question: "Don't mention it. I feel dizzy when I see the case files and other things. It's been a day and I'm about to vomit. In the end, nothing was found. These two victims are definitely not missing persons."
Gu Nankai also sat down next to the long table, leaning back against the chair. He looked no better than Wu Qingluan. He blinked a few times, slowly dispelling the sour feeling. He asked Gao Yuan: "What I'm thinking is that since the two victims died in Longhai City, the murderer must have his reasons. So I can't think too far about the identity of the deceased or even the murderer."
"No, no, no, captain, you may be wrong this time." Gao Yuan immediately laughed when he heard it, raised his index finger and shook it left and right to deny Gu Nankai's statement. Gu Nankai raised his eyebrows and asked him what he meant by this. At this time, Wu Qingluan also perked up and looked up at Gao Yuan.
After all, everyone has been positive about Gu Nankai's guess for so long, and Wu Qingluan still wants to hear a dissenting voice.
Gao Yuan leaned forward mysteriously and said, "I've checked the information about the cufflinks. Do you know who bought them?"
Gu Nankai didn't say anything, but just signaled to Gao Yuan with his eyes to stop being mysterious and speak quickly. Wu Qingluan didn't think too much and asked subconsciously: "Who bought it? Didn't you say that people who have these cufflinks must be rich or noble?"
"Hehe~" Gao Yuan continued to smile nonchalantly, "That's right, so I got some clues without asking around from my friend. This cheetah cufflink was designed by a mysterious Chinese designer from abroad. This designer is very mysterious and few people have ever seen him, but his designs are hard to come by in the upper circles. This cheetah cufflink was liked by many people as soon as it was designed. As a man, who doesn't like the cheetah, right?"
Gu Nankai was thinking while listening to Gao Yuan's words. Wu Qingluan particularly agreed with what he said. She nodded and said, "Indeed, cheetahs are fast, fierce, strong, tough, brave, bold, but also thoughtful. They are decisive and smart, and will never drag their feet when doing things. Therefore, many men use cheetahs as a symbol of themselves because they subconsciously feel that they cannot be defeated. It is expected that the design of cheetah cufflinks will win the favor of these people."
Gao Yuan was very impressed by Wu Qingluan's analysis. He stood up and clapped his hands to show his approval of Wu Qingluan's analysis, and then smiled and said, "Teacher Wu, it's exactly the same as what you said. There are only five of these cufflinks. I have inquired about the five buyers, and then I checked. Guess what I found?"
Gu Nankai seemed to come back to his senses at this moment. He immediately looked at Gao Yuan with bright eyes and said, "What did you find out? Tell me now."
Seeing Gu Nankai's serious expression, Gao Yuan put away his nonchalant expression and became more formal, saying, "After my investigation, I found that these five cufflinks were obtained by a large foreign group in the name of a company. Eventually, these cufflinks were given to their partners as gifts. However, due to internal confidentiality, I was able to find out the identities of only two of these five partners."
