Chapter 92 The murderer will strike again
Gu Nankai knew which large groups would keep the information of their partners confidential. Moreover, this was a foreign company, so it was really difficult for them to find the information.
But Gao Yuan still smiled and said, "But after my unremitting efforts, I still found the information of two of the partners."
This was beyond Gu Nankai's expectation. He looked at Gao Yuan in surprise: "Where did you find this information?"
Gao Yuan always seemed to have a kind of magic. He could always downplay something and not take it to heart when everyone felt it was difficult. Gu Nankai had even made plans to use his own means to find the information of these partners, but he didn't expect Gao Yuan to give him a surprise immediately.
However, what Gu Nankai and Wu Qingluan did not expect was that because of Gu Nankai's question, Gao Yuan, who was always not serious, showed an embarrassed expression on his face. He seemed a little embarrassed and a little guilty. Gu Nankai and Wu Qingluan both felt a little strange, and when they were about to ask what was going on, Gao Yuan spoke.
His eyes flickered as he said, "One is the boss of Qing'an Industry in Qing'an City, and the other..." He felt a little embarrassed when he said this, and his expression was a little tangled. Gu Nankai seemed to understand something. He looked at Gao Yuan and asked tentatively, "The other one is your father, Gao Ziyi?"
Gu Nankai had long been suspicious of Gao Yuan's identity. The watch on his wrist when he first met him already revealed something. Gao Yuan did not expect that Gu Nankai would so easily say the name Gao Ziyi and connect it with him. He looked at Gu Nankai in shock, but Gu Nankai just smiled faintly.
"What? Gao Ziyi is your father?" Wu Qingluan screamed in surprise. Everyone in Longhai City was familiar with the name Gao Ziyi. They never knew that Gao Ziyi, the famous industrial tycoon in Longhai City, was actually Gao Yuan's father.
Gao Yuan's face was not looking good at the moment. Everyone thought it was an honor to have Gao Ziyi as a father, but for him, the gap between them had long been insurmountable. As for this father, he seemed to refuse to acknowledge their relationship from the bottom of his heart.
"We have nothing but blood ties, Captain Gu, Teacher Wu..." Gao Yuan explained anxiously, and called Gu Nankai and Wu Qingluan again, looking at them with some embarrassment. After a long while, he said with some entanglement: "Please help me keep my relationship with Gao Ziyi a secret. I actually... don't really want everyone to know my identity."
Gu Nankai knew that Gao Yuan seemed to be hiding something from them, but this matter would not affect the work of the serious crime team. This was just a problem between a child and his father, and Gao Yuan did not let it affect his work. He would not meddle in other people's family conflicts when he did not understand the cause and effect.
But what surprised Gu Nankai was that Wu Qingluan didn't have any big reaction to this matter. Gu Nankai even felt that Wu Qingluan was instinctively avoiding the conflict between Gao Yuan and Gao Ziyi. He had known Wu Qingluan for so long, and this was indeed the first time he saw her, as a psychologist, encounter such a situation.
Gu Nankai thought silently in his heart, perhaps everyone has something they want to avoid, and perhaps it may seem harmless to others, but deep down in one’s own heart it is always difficult to get over.
Gao Yuan looked at Gu Nankai and Wu Qingluan nervously. This was in stark contrast to his usual carefree attitude. At this moment, he restrained his usual debauchery and replaced it with a heavy look. Gu Nankai discovered that this child actually had a soft side. His unruly appearance was not innate, but an act to hide his inner pain.
Thinking of this, he smiled slightly: "Don't worry , we will conceal it for you, but Gao Yuan, have you ever thought about it, if your father has this cufflink, will he have anything to do with this case?"
Gao Yuan smiled at first, then quickly shook his head after hearing the second half of Gu Nankai's words and said, "It won't matter, Captain Gu. I'm not afraid of you making fun of me. Two days before and after the first crime, he and I had a serious argument and he was even hospitalized. During those two days, my stepmother called and sent me videos every day. I have confirmed that he didn't have the time to commit the crime at that time, and it is said that he didn't have the motive at all. Moreover, during the second crime, he was abroad during those days. I have also checked."
Gu Nankai nodded after listening, but he was thinking in his heart that Gao Yuan was able to quickly clear his father's suspicion when he suspected him. Although he said on the surface that the relationship between the two was not good, it now seemed to him that the relationship between Gao Ziyi and Gao Yuan was not as cold as Gao Yuan said.
"Well, Gao Yuan, let me make it clear that I can keep it a secret for you, but I still have a question." Wu Qingluan was silent for a while. She seemed to be thinking about something. When Gu Nankai glanced at her secretly, he found that her face looked a little lonely. At this moment, when she spoke, she had returned to her normal state and said to Gao Yuan.
"What's the problem?" Gao Yuan asked Wu Qingluan quickly. He didn't have many concerns since these two people could hide his identity for a while, so he felt much more relaxed when asking Wu Qingluan.
Wu Qingluan made a hypothesis: "The information about the cufflinks should be the clue you got from your father. Have you asked your father if he knows the identity of the deceased? After all, one of the deceased had this cufflink. What if he is one of the partners? Then we have a new direction for investigation."
Gao Yuan shook his head. "No, I've thought about this possibility, but the information he told me is that the five partners who got the cufflinks are all the same age as him, and none of them are the deceased's age. But I've asked him to find out for me if he can get any information about the other three partners. As for him and the president of Qing'an Industry, their cufflinks are collected as collectibles. I suspect the cufflinks on the deceased's side were given to the murderer or the deceased by someone else."
Gu Nankai pondered Gao Yuan's words carefully. Gao Yuan was right. When Gao Yuan told them about this matter, he also thought of this possibility. However, when he knew the origin of the cufflinks, he gave up the idea. Businessmen like Gao Ziyi all collected the cufflinks. In his opinion, the cufflink they found was more likely to be a second gift from someone else.
"Now we still have to rely on your clues. I think the cufflinks we found should be a second gift. We still need to find out the information of those partners. This depends on you." Gu Nankai looked at Gao Yuan encouragingly, and Gao Yuan nodded: "But I don't know if he can help us. I now think that if we have friends in this field abroad, the effect will be better if both parties work together.
Wu Qingluan's eyes lit up when she heard Gao Yuan say this, and she quickly said, "I can do this. I know someone abroad who is a businessman. I'll try to see if he can help us. We can split into two groups and identify the owner of this cufflink as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the case is delayed any further and we have no clues, it will be troublesome.
After listening to the two people's words, Gu Nankai seemed to be thinking about something. He rested his arms on the table, raised his right hand close to the corner of his mouth and rubbed the pads of his thumb and index finger. His eyes were a little heavy. Wu Qingluan noticed his expression at the moment and asked, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Gu Nankai looked at Wu Qingluan and Gao Yuan solemnly and said slowly: "It has been a week since the second victim was killed."
Wu Qingluan and Gao Yuan were not able to react to this for a moment, and Gu Nankai quickly added: "If it turns out as I expected, I'm afraid the murderer will commit the crime for the third time."
Wu Qingluan and Gao Yuan were both shocked and looked at Gu Nankai.
Will the murderer really strike again?
