A lot of tricks

Chapter 23 The Leaker

() "You boy, I can't see that you still have this kind of flirtatiousness. When you see a beautiful girl, you can't turn your eyes away. It seems that after you go back, you need to give you a good political and ideological education." I complained about my little frustration .

Xiao Zuo immediately yelled: "I'm wronged, didn't you say that you should keep a close eye on them, can't you give them a chance to tip off the news?"

So it turns out that Xiaozuo is still a good comrade, I laughed and said, "I'm just kidding, but I'm serious, it's really boring."

"Just kidding again, you should drive the car steadily, Shanhe [-]nd Road, turn left!"

I flicked the steering wheel, and the car turned to the left, Xiao Zuo said again: "At this time, they won't call Gu Hengming?"

"It's okay, it's better to inform."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't understand, let me give you some pointers." I said triumphantly, "If they call Gu Hengming, then there will be two situations. One is that Gu Hengming has no ghosts in his heart, so he will stay at home Waiting for us honestly; the second is that he has ghosts in his heart, so he will run away, and this way, it also saves us the time of investigation, just arrest and interrogate directly."

"Oh, so that's the case. It seems that there is quite a lot of knowledge here." Xiaozuo said with a little gain, then raised his head suddenly, and asked suspiciously: "Then why did you want me to stare at others? Don't let me call to tip off the news?"

It seems that a good person can't do it. As soon as I taught him something, he immediately turned his face and refused to recognize anyone. The effect of things will naturally be opposite, and I will slowly think about it.”

Next, Xiao Zuo fell into hard thinking and meditation, and I drove to Shanhe [-]nd Road, where Gu Hengming lived.

According to the address, we searched among the tall buildings, and finally found Gu Hengming's home, which is a small group of low buildings.Gu Hengming's home is a small three-story building. It seems to be a private house left by his ancestors. In this city where an inch of land is like gold, its value may far exceed his lifetime salary.

Due to its age, even though the exterior wall has been renovated, it still cannot conceal its age.As soon as Xiaozuo saw this house, his eyes lit up. I knew what he was thinking, so I reminded: "We are here to find people, not ghosts."

While talking, we came to the bottom of the small building, and saw a large anti-theft door blocking the front, Xiao Zuo stepped forward and knocked, but there was no sound inside, and there was a faint echo , as if there was nothing in the room.

I felt that something was wrong, so I looked up and saw that the balcony on the second floor was less than three meters away, so I said to Xiao Zuo, "Squat down, I'll go up and have a look."

Xiao Zuo said: "I am smaller, you are below, I will go up."

It was true that he should be small, but how could I let him step on my shoulders and climb up, so I said in a commanding tone: "This is the need of work!"

Xiao Zuo squatted down helplessly, I climbed up, firmly grasped the balcony fence with my hands, then hooked my legs up, and rolled up smoothly.

Jumping up from the balcony, I shouted: "Gu Hengming!"

No one answered, the house was very quiet, even the air stopped flowing, only a few potted flowers outside the balcony were listlessly wilting, ignoring me, a sudden visitor.

I walked lightly and walked like a cat to the end of the balcony, where a small door opened, allowing me to walk into the room.After pushing open the small door, the intense darkness inside swallowed my eyes all at once, and the contrast between the internal and external light made my vision temporarily blind.

I immediately closed my eyes slightly, at this moment I suddenly felt a black afterimage flash across my retina, rushing towards the third floor at an extremely fast speed.My whole body felt like an electric shock, without any hesitation, I immediately chased after him.

Xiaozuo heard movement inside, and shouted loudly downstairs: "What happened, come down and open the door!"

At this moment, I knew that the black shadow might be gone, and I didn't have time to pay attention to the small setback. I rushed to the third floor in one breath, and my eyes suddenly lit up. I finally saw the black shadow clearly. It turned out to be a black cat. It was squatting by the bed, licking its paws leisurely.

I took a look at the bed. It was an antique Ming and Qing canopy bed. The top of the bed was a wooden frame carved with animals. The bed surface was very wide and large. Even four or five Gu Hengmings could lie on it. I very much doubt his real reason for making the bed so big.

The bed was empty, and the room was also empty. There was nothing at a glance. It seemed that this guy wasn't at home, so it was a waste of time.

I scolded the cat severely, and was about to turn around and go downstairs, when my eyes saw something that I shouldn't have seen, but as a criminal police officer, I must see something.I saw the black cat take two steps forward, and then left a few red paw prints on the floor.

The cat is black, so I couldn't see the red on its paws before, but I can see it clearly when I step on the floor.With many years of professional experience, from the color and stickiness of the paw print, I can be sure that it is human blood.

My heart stopped beating along with the footsteps, and I bent down reflexively, with my head almost touching the floor, when I saw a person under the bed.

The top of the man's head was facing me, revealing a black head, so I couldn't see his face clearly, and his lying posture prevented me from seeing the whole body, and the light under the bed was very dark, and the space was very narrow. It's small and small, so it's hard to tell his size. I don't know if it's Gu Hengming.

The man was lying under the bed, his body curled up in a strange position, which seemed to be caused by the assailant forcing him into it.His left hand stretched out, close to the edge of the bed, covered with blood, the black cat should have stepped on his hand just now.

Just as I was lying on the ground, holding my breath and looking at the motionless corpse under the bed, there was a sudden noise from behind, the hairs all over my body stood on end, and I turned around in shock, only to see Xiao Zuo appearing behind me covered in dust.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Zuo asked out of breath.

I don't have the time and mood to care about how he climbed up to the three-meter-high balcony, and said to him solemnly: "This is the scene, don't destroy it, notify the bureau immediately, and let the on-site investigators come over."

Although I really want to rush forward immediately, grab the bloody human hand, and see if its owner is Gu Hengming, but I know this kind of behavior is wrong, at least for a professional criminal police like me This is the case, so I immediately let Xiaozuo notify the bureau.

Jinjin, I also took out my phone and dialed Zhang Jiewei: "We found a corpse in Gu Hengming's room just now, and the identity of the deceased cannot be confirmed yet. You must protect Huang Yang's safety and come out sooner or later Mistake, I took you as a question!"

My tone was very harsh, but it was not aimed at Zhang Jiewei, but the needs of work, this time it was true.

Because it has not been more than three hours since we knew that Gu Hengming was suspected, but the murderer was ahead of us. What does this mean?

Although I don't want to think like this, many things in the world are not what people think. I have to face reality, face the truth!

Soon, the on-site inspection team from the bureau arrived at the scene. The whole small building was tightly surrounded, and a police cordon was drawn outside. This small building, which had lost its owner, completely lost contact with the outside world.

You Qiaolin is the backbone of the forensic office, so he is naturally indispensable for the on-site investigation.His head is still covered with gauze, but he is in a good state of mind, but I always feel that it is because he wears gold-rimmed glasses to conceal his inner fatigue and give people an illusion of cleanliness.

Looking at his busy figure, I really wanted to go over and tell him to take off the glasses when he was free. This would be good for the eyes and make life easier.

The colleagues in the survey team took photos of all the items in the room from different angles, and then a few strong people gently lifted the antique Ming and Qing canopy bed. to the corpse.

The body was finally exposed before our eyes. I was at the door, but I still couldn't see his face.At this time, Xiaozuo brought a special shoe cover and motioned me to put it on to confirm the identity of the deceased, but I hesitated a little, I was afraid that this person was really Gu Hengming.

Although I don't like a flamboyant man like Gu Hengming, I cherish the colleagues I get along with day and night even more.I would really like to have the mind of Sherlock Holmes and be able to imagine all kinds of incredible ways for the news to spread, but I am not. Facing the time of less than three hours, there is only one way I can imagine.

I still put on the shoe covers, came to the corpse, and then saw his face, my heart suddenly sore, tears almost fell down.

Gu Hengming died within half an hour before I found him. Maybe we didn't go to the model agency, but drove directly to Shanhe [-]nd Road, so he wouldn't die, but we didn't do that.

In the small office of the Secret Service, I sat there in silence, completely isolated from the outside world, immersed in the disappearance of a life. Although I didn't like this person, I respected every life that had ever lived.

Who is it that leads us to modeling agencies?

This question popped up in my mind, maybe this person knew that if he held me for half an hour, he could make Gu Hengming's soul fly away, so he did so.

My heart skipped a beat, Zhang Jiewei, this person is Zhang Jiewei!

At that time, he told me on the phone that Gu Hengming should be in the modeling company, or that he is usually in the company during working hours.I can't remember exactly how he said it, but I did get Gu Hengming's judgment in the company from him, which is for sure.

No, it can't be him. If that's the case, he can definitely postpone the report time by half an hour, or even half a day. Why should he force himself?

I ruled out Zhang Jiewei, although I don't particularly like this guy, but I believe in his loyalty to the profession, and I believe in the facts.But who is it if it’s not him? I continued to think downwards, and then I found a wonderful change in the problem, that is, there was no doubt about going to a modeling agency.

Because Zhang Jiewei was the person who directed the direction of this matter, and I was the executor. If Zhang Jiewei had no suspicions, then I would be the only one left. It is impossible for me to doubt myself, unless there is another "I" in the world.

another me"……

Things are much more complicated than I imagined, half an hour may be an error due to God's arrangement, but Gu Hengming's death will not happen for no reason, especially when Zhang Jiewei just discovered his relationship with Huang Yang After getting close, they were killed. There must be a certain relationship between the two.

Since there was a relationship, and Gu Hengming died, then we can be sure that there is a person in this world who didn't want the relationship between Gu Hengming and Huang Yang to be discovered by others, so he arranged for Gu Hengming's death.

From the discovery of the relationship between Gu Hengming and Huang Yang to Gu Hengming's death, there was only a short period of three hours. How did this person do it?

At this moment, my brain is like a freshly washed bed sheet, being twisted by two savage guys, one head at the other, and then twisted in opposite directions, until all the water flows out without a gap in between.

In the constant twisting, I lost moisture all over my body and felt a burst of collapse. I almost fell down. Gao Jianning at the side grabbed me and said, "Brother Lei, you should take a break when you look like this."

I gritted my teeth, shook my head and said, "It's okay, don't bother me."

When I said this, I suddenly glanced at him, and the doubts in my eyes flashed past.During the execution of this mission, only Gao Jianning stayed in the office as backup support. What was he doing during this time?Thinking of all the doubts I had before, the clouds of doubt in my heart suddenly swelled and rolled.

Now Xiao Zuo went to the file room, only me and him in the office, the atmosphere suddenly became a little weird.

Xiao Zuo has been with me all the time, he definitely has no chance to contact the outside world, and speaking from Xiao Zuo’s experience, he may know ghosts and ghosts that I don’t know, but he will definitely not know humans that I don’t know, so he can’t be Leak out.Not to mention Xiaoxuan, not only because of the relationship between me and her, but more importantly, her love for police work made me believe that she would not do such a thing.

There are only five people in the entire Secret Service Office except Mr. Jiang, and the other four have all been ruled out as suspects. What does this mean?I think even a pig can figure it out, but I didn't realize it until now.

Gao Jianning, if it wasn't for his professional knowledge of computers, he would be a computer pest.I remember that when he was in high school, he was severely beaten by his father, that is, my old uncle, several times because of his computer addiction, but he still didn't stop him and became a more advanced pest.Now that the development of the Internet has become a major way of modern interpersonal communication, although he stays at home all day long, he may have contact with many more people than we imagined. Among these complex groups of people, will he One is "he".

Seeing that my expression was a bit strange, Gao Jianning showed an inexplicable expression, and then said, "I'll make you a cup of hot tea to refresh yourself."

I watched him go to the drinking fountain, took some public tea, made tea in a disposable cup, and brought it over again.

"Don't look at me like that, it's disgusting." Gao Jianning said dissatisfied when he found that I was staring at him.

I didn't make a sound, the silence was terrible.

"I'll go there if there's nothing else. If you're unconscious, call me." Throwing down a wisecrack, Gao Jianning returned to his computer.

If it was normal, I would definitely bicker with him again, but today is not normal, I am not in that mood.

"Gao Jianning, come here!"

"I'm busy. It's okay to think about it alone. Don't call me."

Just as I was about to speak out loudly, I suddenly came to my senses, so I relaxed my expression, tried to treat him as usual, and said, "Did you see Mr. Jiang today?"

Although Master Jiang's appearances in the Secret Service Office are so few that you can count them with your fingers, his prestige is inversely proportional to it. As soon as Gao Jianning heard this sentence, he immediately raised his head from the screen: "No, what's the matter?" ?"

"Oh, it's a little thing, it's nothing, you are busy." Although I don't know what kind of person Gao Jianning has become now, I do know one of his bad habits, that is, the more you don't tell him, he will The more you have to try your best to find out.

Sure enough, as soon as my words were over, Gao Jianning appeared in front of me, staring with both eyes and said: "Brother Lei, this is not enough, our cousin is showing prestige, so don't hide anything by yourself. "

Oh, I made an indifferent expression, then waved my hand and said, "It's really all right, don't tell others if you have something to do, you still don't want to know, I'm thinking too much."

Gao Jianning was a little skeptical at first, but there must be something wrong now, so he sat down in front of me and said, "You just obey me obediently, otherwise I won't leave here."

Sometimes I really doubt my vision. I would rather believe that this absurd guy in front of me is a two-legged beast that seduces women from a good family, and I don’t believe that he will have anything to do with a murderer.

But experience tells me that a person's surface is often completely opposite to his inside.Just like a rich man, he wears gold and silver, and lives a life of spending money like dirt, but his heart is barren.He has money and material life that many people do not have, but he lacks the strong pursuit and desire that many people have. Behind the seemingly colorful life is actually an empty soul.

Even though many people break their heads and desperately want to be such a soul, it doesn't make it fulfilling.

The same is true of Gao Jianning. His appearance is casual and random, but inside he is like the most sophisticated computer. Any complicated calculation can be calculated in the shortest time in the brain with a volume of less than 0.1 cubic meters.

"You really want to know?"

"En." Gao Jianning nodded like a woodpecker.

"Okay, you come with me first, I have something I want to ask you to do, and I will never lose you."
