42. Nianhua (2)
The elevator door was about to close, Wu Chen and Jin Haiyang shouted in a blink of an eye: "Wait a minute—"
Gu Qingtong quickly pressed the door opening button and waited patiently for their arrival.
Wu Chen saw the tears at the corner of Gu Qingtong's eyes at a glance. He was not convenient for him to ask in detail, so he had to change the topic by taking advantage of the aroma of the food: "Sister Gu, you went out for a walk early in the morning. Are you going to buy breakfast for everyone?"
"My mother made it by herself." Gu Qingtong said, "I've been tired all night, we'll have a meal later!"
As soon as the elevator door was closed, Jin Haiyang asked, "Sister Gu, has something happened at home?"
Gu Qingtong was stunned: "No..."
"Then why have you cried?" Jin Haiyang changed his mature and steady image and turned into a chattering chatterbox. "From the day the Crime Team was established, until today, I found you crying for the first time. Sister Gu, please speak up if you have any difficulties, and let us help you find a way to solve it!"
Wu Chen said with a helping voice: "Yes, we are not outsiders!"
"I'm fine." Gu Qingtong burst into tears and laughed, "What are you thinking?"
Jin Haiyang analyzed in a very clear way: "There is a fundamental difference between crying sadly and crying with joy. You are not moved by your aunt's breakfast."
"Haiyang said everything in my mind." Wu Chen asked, "Sister Gu, what's wrong? You might as well tell us that we can overcome difficulties together and overcome levels together. Don't forget that we are a team..."
"You two, I'm very sick. However, it's an occupational disease." The floor of the Crime Team arrived. Gu Qingtong handed the insulation bag to Jin Haiyang, and at the same time told Wu Chen, "Put all these on the table in the conference room and start dinner when everyone is here!"
Jin Haiyang asked with concern: "Don't you eat it?"
"Of course I eat--" Gu Qingtong walked out of the elevator and stopped again, turned around and smiled, "Don't think about it all, I'll just go back to the locker room to dry my hair."
After turning around, she took a few steps and flashed into the locker room and immediately closed the door.
Tears fell down in a flash.
The more rational Gu Qingtong in her heart reminded her: Don’t do this. You can’t even control your emotions when you hear Ji Heng’s name? He didn’t make any excessive requests, just don’t want you to continue investigating Wu Minhua.
But another voice said: Although Xu Liang's mother's case was closed, Huayu School has many doubts and the atmosphere is strange. Why did Wu Minhua hide everywhere and dare not return to Jinyang City? The school's senior management changes, and what's going on with a major change in the teacher team...
"Sister Gu, Sister Gu?" Li Zichen's voice sounded outside the door, "Are you inside?"
Without thinking about it, this must be the reinforcements brought by Wu Chen and Jin Haiyang. Gu Qingtong quickly washed her face and held a hair dryer before opening the door.
Li Zichen asked worriedly: "Are you okay? Haiyang..."
"I'm fine! They're really making a big deal." Gu Qingtong smiled clearly, "When will you drink your wedding wine with Haiyang?"
"It feels like you see through it... it's a bit..." Li Zichen blushed.
"A little bad?" Gu Qingtong patted Li Zichen's shoulder and smiled, "I just said that Xiao Wu Haiyang and others have occupational diseases. In fact, I have a serious illness than anyone else. Two years ago, did you have a good impression of Haiyang? I discovered it through some details."
"No one else noticed that you were the first one..."
"This is a happy event, I'm open-minded. I'm optimistic about you two!"
Li Zichen whispered: "I originally planned to make the relationship public at the end of the month. Now you know in advance. Can you keep it a secret for us?"
Gu Qingtong smiled slightly: "No problem."
Li Zichen took the hair dryer and asked, "Sister Gu, I'll help you blow your hair!"
"Good girl, don't bother you." Gu Qingtong said, "My mother made a big bag of delicious food. You go to the conference room to get one, and talk to Haiyang for a while."
"Okay, then you can come quickly!"
"knew."
Li Zichen left with a response.
Only then did Gu Qingtong breathe a sigh of relief and began to comb her long knotted hair in front of the mirror. She roughly cleaned up and tied her ponytails down and returned to the office with a refreshing look.
A hearty laughter came from the direction of the conference room, which was clearly Pan Shaofang's voice.
Team Pan hasn't laughed so happily for at least five years—
Gu Qingtong was full of curiosity and ran forward to check: That's right! Pan Shaofang was holding the lunch box in one hand and chopsticks in the other, and was chatting with the forensic doctor Zhong Hao in full swing.
"You can taste the smell of ginger powder? Tsk tsk, your tongue is amazing!"
Zhong Hao's praise caused Pan Shaofang to laugh again: "When I was a teenager, I wanted to be a chef, but my family disagreed and said that the chopping and spoons were useless. If I hadn't been admitted to the police academy later, I would have been a top chef today!"
What Team Pan said was not funny at all. I wonder what he was laughing at?
Gu Qingtong was surprised, but did not rashly disturb Pan Shaofang and Zhong Hao's conversation, but turned around and walked towards the forensics laboratory.
Zhao Hong yawned and handed Gu Qingtong a report.
"Here, it's clear that the deceased Fu Yuli's death was drowning. The murderer drowned her in the fish tank first, then took it out and tied it to a table and chair for abuse."
"Brother Zhao, thank you!" Gu Qingtong first expressed his gratitude, and then asked, "Can the specific time of death be determined?"
Zhao Hong said: "Yesterday, based on indicators such as liver temperature and corpse decay, we inferred that the death time was 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. ten days ago. After testing and comparison, the death time can be accurate at present, which means that the deceased died from 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. ten days ago."
Gu Qingtong thought to himself: Except for Ma Teng, who opened an art training institution on the second floor of Building 11, the rest of the family are ordinary residents.
The reason why the murderer chose this time period was because adults went to work, children went to school, elderly people went to the street to buy vegetables, and basically all the people on the second floor went out.
Even if there is a strange noise, it will not attract anyone's attention.
She suddenly asked in a daze: "Brother Zhao, how is the sound insulation effect of your house?"
Zhao Hong was stunned and immediately understood what Gu Qingtong said.
"Not good, or rather, the sound insulation is very poor. The developer in my community happens to be the same as Huguang Yazhu. According to their conduct, even high-end residential buildings may not be of great quality."
Gu Qingtong nodded and dialed Shi Dong's number: "Where has Xiao Shitou been?"
"Sister Gu, I'm in the central garden built by Huguang Ya." Shi Dong whispered, "There are many aunties dancing square dance here. I want to be familiar with them and ask them about the situation."
"Okay, keep this rhythm!" Gu Qingtong said, "In one minute, I will send the matters that need to be investigated on your phone, remember to check it."
Shi Dong's answer was loud and loud: "Yes, I will do it!"
-
11 buildings in Huguang Ya Building are built on the street. The first floor merchants are often replaced and have a lot of liquidity.
Shi Dong inquired about the four merchants facing and diagonally opposite to Room 203, but did not obtain reliable clues related to the case.
Gu Qingtong mentioned in the text message that six families on the third floor of Building 11 were very likely to hear some abnormal noise.
She asked Shi Dong to find a way to gain their trust and first collect information through informal channels to avoid alarming the snake and causing evidence of destruction by the murderer.
Shi Dong pretended to be a fresh graduate who wanted to rent a house here. He wandered around in front and behind the building, and chatted with his aunts in the leisure garden for more than an hour. Finally, he waited for the owner of Building 11, 303, and successfully waited for Lao Zhang.
This old Zhang is very familiar with everyone, and hello to anyone he meets.
An enthusiastic aunt told Shi Dong quietly: "Lao Zhang used to be in society and knew many people, and he also had some tricks. If you want to rent a house and live in a stable manner, you can ask him for help, but you have to pay an additional benefit fee..."
Shi Dong understood, so he stepped forward and took the initiative to get close.
"Brother Zhang, are you Brother Zhang?"
Lao Zhang put the bird cage he was holding at his feet, and ignored him and looked elsewhere in a blink of an eye.
Shi Dong followed Lao Zhang's gaze and a mobile dining car entered his sight. Shi Dong had an idea in an instant, and he ran to buy a sumptuous breakfast and sent it to Lao Zhang respectfully.
"Brother Zhang, your time is precious, so I will tell you a long story short. My surname is Shi, just call me Xiao Shitou. I graduated at the end of June and found a job along the subway near our community. I want to rent a house in our community. I don't like to live with people. You have a wide range of places, can you help?"
Lao Zhang looked at the food bag and smiled and said, "Boy, do you want to send me pancakes and soy milk?"
Shi Dong leaned close to Lao Zhang's ear and lowered his voice and said, "When the right house is found, I will give you this number immediately!" He stretched out his five fingers with his left hand and shook it in front of Lao Zhang, "Is it OK? Brother Zhang, if it is not enough, I will add another thousand."
Lao Zhang smiled slightly and said, "Oh, it's a little less... Actually, I don't want to cheat the reputation of poor students. It's not easy for anyone who comes here, you think?"
Shi Dong said repeatedly: "Brother Zhang, you are indeed well-known. I promise to give you these first. I will come to you for the New Year and the Festival in the future and I will come to you to give you gifts!"
"Don't be too full, boy, be careful not to break your promise."
When Lao Zhang left the bench, Shi Dong picked up the bird cage with a wink and followed Lao Zhang carefully.
"Brother Zhang, aunts tell me that 11 small apartments have the most sizes."
"They didn't scare you. There are only 11 houses in the entire community that have one bedroom and one living room."
"Brother Zhang, I see Building 11 next to the road, but it's not far away, the bus stop, which is easy to travel. I'm just afraid that the noise of the car at that time will make people sleep hard?"
"You asked for the idea." Lao Zhang took back the bird cage and smiled, "The sound insulation of the building is really not good. If you have any concerns about this, you might as well wait until you move in and renovate it yourself and install double-layer window sound insulation boards or something. Are young people afraid that they can't think of a way?"
Shi Dong got important information and naturally followed the clues and asked in the same direction.
"Brother Zhang, please pay attention to me. It is best to find a house where the neighbors around me like quiet, so I can live in peace too!"
