12. Dark Arrow (2)

Butler Yu didn't care about breathing and said intermittently: "The eldest young master... was caught in an arrow in his left chest... fell into a maze..."

"Uncle Yu, what you said is true?"

Tong Jia widened his eyes, unable to believe the truth in his ears.

Butler Yu stood with his hands down and choked and said, "The eldest young master may not be able to do it anymore... The servants carried the eldest young master to the open space, and the family doctor also rescued him, but his heart was pierced and blood flowed all over the floor..."

"ah?!"

Tong Jia's eyes were straight, he lifted up his skirt and ran downstairs.

Gu Qingtong chased after him, Tong Weimin and Luo Yunman followed closely and rushed to the main entrance of the villa together.

Li Yuanrong lay on the cold ground, his head sideways, and his white shirt was stained with blood.

The family doctor and emergency doctor are undergoing the final rescue. The defibrillator has been used many times, but Li Yuanrong still has no response.

"Get out of the way!"

Tong Jia pushed away the crowd like crazy, knelt down beside Li Yuanrong, and used all his strength to do CPR for him.

"Child, don't do this, it's too late..."

"It's time--" Tong Jia's eyes were red, and a roar broke out in despair, "If anyone can't say that there is no time to be saved, I will never end up with anyone!"

Tong Weimin and Luo Yunman wanted to help their daughter up, but Gu Qingtong persuaded them.

"Uncle, aunt, sister Tong Jia needs your support."

"I understand..." Tong Weimin quickly reacted and took Luo Yunman away from the crowd. "Xiao Jia can't accept the facts for the time being, so we have to give her some time to buffer."

"What should I do?" Luo Yunman was in tears, "What should I do with my child!"

Tong Weimin held his wife's shoulder and comforted her: "No one wants to experience this kind of disaster. It is a big question whether he can bear it at such an age..."

-

When Gu Qingtong learned that Butler Yu had called the police, he proposed to block the scene so as not to damage all kinds of traces.

Unexpectedly, someone rushed to the front and interfered.

"There is no need for an outsider to interfere in the affairs of our Li family!"

Seeing the servants going back and forth, stepping around the maze more and more messy, Gu Qingtong had to reveal his identity.

The title of the Municipal Criminal Police Team's serious crime team not only did not shock the woman wearing a purple-gray double-breasted jacket, but instead became a fuel to the fire.

"It's just Yuan Rong's eyes are so clumsy!" The woman pointed at Tong Jia and cursed sternly, "I didn't count that you killed our eldest son - I promised not to meet with our parents before the ceremony. What did you go to do? Sangmenxing, what a disobedient Sangmenxing!"

As he said that, the woman was about to rush over to beat Tong Jia.

Gu Qingtong quickly blocked her, but was kicked hard in the knee.

Butler Yu called two young drivers: "Hurry up and ask your wife to go back to her room to rest!"

"You're so confused-" Mrs. Li roared at the top of her lungs, "The old guy with his elbows is indiscriminate, and his elbows are extremely crooked!"

"Yes, you're right, I'm a useless old guy."

While responding, Butler Yu winked at the two drivers. The latter understood and grabbed Mrs. Li's arm tightly and sent her upstairs.

As the shouts and scolding gradually moved away, everyone around the scene breathed a sigh of relief. The emergency doctor confirmed that Li Yuanrong's heart stopped beating and had no vital signs. He just waited for the police to take an autopsy to make the final death identification conclusion.

Butler Yu did not forget to greet Gu Qingtong: "Miss Gu, are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

"My wife is emotionally unstable. In fact, she has no intention of hurting you," said Mr. Yu, "I apologize to you on behalf of her."

"The mother was hurt in her heart when her son was killed." Gu Qingtong waved her hand indifferently, "I can understand the extreme behavior of the victim's relatives."

"You don't know anything," said Mrs. Yu hesitated for a while, "the wife is the eldest young master's stepmother, and they are not related by blood. All the information about the Li family that the outside world can find is a public relations article arranged by the company to write."

Gu Qingtong asked: "Why? Are there any ulterior motives?"

Butler Yu shook his head and denied: "Not that. The eldest young master's biological mother passed away, the eldest young master still remembered it. The master was worried that it would affect the growth of the child and told a huge lie, saying that the wife is the eldest young master's mother now. It was not until the eldest young master became an adult that the master told the truth."

When talking about the past, Guanjun Yu couldn't help but feel sad: "The eldest young master's biological mother is Qin, and she comes from a prominent family. Their family has saved me. Miss Gu, you may have discovered that I am the only one in this family called me by the old style. That's because I was a servant of the Qin family at the beginning. After being dismissed, I met the eldest lady by chance. She helped me find an errand, so I stayed in the Li family."

Gu Qingtong was stunned: "Do Tong Jia know what you said?"

Butler Yu turned his face and sighed heavily: "I guess the eldest young master has no time to sort out the family matters and tell Miss Tong, just..."

The sun was warm and the warm breeze blew on her face, but Gu Qingtong felt unprecedented coldness. She looked at the open space not far away, and the thin figure of her good friend increased the chill in her heart.

Tong Jia sat next to Li Yuanrong, with blood stains on the hem of the dress.

The emergency doctor advised him kindly, but Tong Jia was unwilling to give up any opportunity. Even if she had the last glimmer of hope, she had to fight for it.

Li Yuanrong's eyes were wide open and his face was pale. He must have felt severe pain and fear during his lifetime. Tong Jia placed one hand on his neck and touched the pulse, and the other hand gently shook his fiancé's no longer moving body.

"Wake up... wake up..."

Butler Yu stepped forward and waited silently by the young men.

About ten minutes later, Tong Jia stopped what he was doing, slowly stood up with a dull look on his face.

"Miss Tong, I'll take you to the vestibule to rest..."

Tong Jia ignored the request of the housekeeper. She stared blankly at the maze built by the South Gate, as if she was reminded of crucial information.

Gu Qingtong walked over, without saying a word, and stood quietly with Tong Jia.

Finally, while the police car from the Crime Team entered everyone's vision, Tong Jia said: "Yuan Rong was killed."

-

The forensic department's collection of on-site evidence came to an end, and Pan Shaofang made a move and quickly convened a meeting of the team members.

According to convention, Gu Qingtong, as a friend of the victim, is not suitable for participating in the investigation of this case. However, Pan Shaofang made an exception and asked her to attend the meeting. If necessary, she had to provide suspicious clues that had appeared this morning.

There are 27 people in the Li family. Except for Li Yuanrong's immediate relative Li Yuming and Yu Shizhong, the housekeeper who grew up, the others did not show moderate sadness.

Gu Qingtong was extremely confused about this.

Based on her understanding of Li Yuanrong and Tong Jia's supplementary explanation, Li Yuanrong, who has a mild temper, will never fall into this position.

Although Li Yuanrong's stepmother is unpredictable and has two shrewd and sweet-mouthed younger brothers Chenghuan Li Yuming's knees, Li Yuanrong is the eldest son and Li Yuming's favorite child. Could it be that he never occupies a position in his own family?

Clarifying the interpersonal relationships of the victim is the most critical link in the process of solving the case.

After reading the confessions of relevant people, Gu Qingtong felt a headache. She used a red pen to circle the names of three people - Li Yuanrong's stepmother Sun Zeya, and two younger brothers Li Munan and Li Muzun.

Judging from the degree of cooperation in accepting the interrogation, Li Muzun ranked first. He answered all the questions raised by Cao Zhe in detail, and even took the initiative to add a few.

Sun Zeya was quite cooperative, but when she asked about the sensitive point, she subconsciously changed the topic. This was quite suspicious, and Jin Haiyang made a note under the transcript.

Like his mother Sun Zeya, Li Munan was impatient with the police's interrogation, claiming that he had been in the jet lag because he had just flew back to China in the early morning. When his eldest brother Li Yuanrong was killed, he took sleeping pills and slept soundly.

Li Yuanrong was killed. Among the four people who were related to him, Li Yuming was in poor health and was bed resting. Sun Zeya and Li Munan were not involved in their affairs, and the youngest brother Li Muzun was not normal.

From this, Gu Qingtong inferred that in this seemingly harmonious family, Li Yuanrong has no relative who can be intimate with.

Even his biological father, Li Yuming, cannot be honest with Li Yuanrong.

-

The security system of the villa is operating normally. The Crime Team checked the pictures taken by each surveillance probe and confirmed that Li Yuanrong left the hall at 10:35 am and appeared at the small iron gate on the north side of the maze at 10:41. However, the currently saved videos are incomplete, and it happened to be the time point one minute before Li Yuanrong entered the maze. The content behind it was damaged and could not be read.

According to the description of Aunt Liu, a nanny who passed by the garden at that time, Li Yuanrong answered the phone while walking, as if the person on the other end of the phone asked him to walk into the maze to find something.

Pan Shaofang solicited everyone's opinions: "Tell me what you think."

"In theory, the most important thing is the fiancée when she is happy." Wu Chen told her intuition, "If it were me, no matter how urgent it was, I would have to wait until the engagement banquet was over before I could go to work."

Cao Zhe nodded frequently in agreement: "That's right, it's normal, I'll stand the same brother Chen!"

Shi Dong, who has always been prone to fever, is relatively calm and composed at the moment: "Don't forget that Li Yuanrong is a surgeon with a strong sense of responsibility. Will he receive an emergency call from the patient and hurriedly bypass the wedding venue and walk into the maze?"

Pan Shaofang looked at Jin Haiyang: "Have you checked the call record of Li Yuanrong's mobile phone?"

"Check it out, Team Pan." Jin Haiyang submitted the information feedback from the technical department to Pan Shao. "Unfortunately, there are five phone calls that are virtual fake numbers in the simulator, similar to the fraudulent calls we usually answer."

"Ah?" Gu Qingtong asked in surprise, "What is this operation?"
