Chapter 5 Gu Mansion

The Gu family's house is located behind the Qinglong Yarn Factory.

At the beginning, Mrs. Gu founded a yarn factory, circled a large piece of land, and simply built a garden behind the factory and built a foreign pavilion.

In general, industrialists in Shanghai are reluctant to move their homes and factories too closely. However, the Gu family has been diligent in the past generations, and they go to work in the factory every day, which saves time and effort and is much more convenient to rely on in one place.

At the beginning, this Western-style building was also designed and constructed by a French architect, which is quite avant-garde.

But decades later, because the four walls were built too high, and the trees planted back then were too dense and tall, the light began to be insufficient from three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and the shadows were full of shadows, dim and dim, and with the miserable white gas street lamps at the door, it was inevitable that there was some gloomy atmosphere.

If the factory building in front of it looks like a giant beast, then this old Western-style pavilion is the embodiment of this giant beast.

When Han Yu and Zhou Erya arrived at the Gu Mansion in a Dodge car, it was already dusk, and the twilight shrouded the house under the high wall, looking from afar, it really looked like a fierce beast lurking in the dark.

Thinking of the murder that happened in the foreign pavilion, Han Yu felt heavy in his heart.

This case must be inextricably linked to the death of a female worker, but is this the beginning or the end? There is no way to confirm at this time.

Young Master Gu politely invited Zhou Erya and Han Yu into the living room, and all the Gu family members gathered here, even the old Mr. Gu Bingkun, who had been sick, was also curled up on the sofa with difficulty with a cane with ivory handles, his eyes were half-open and half-closed, as if he was napping, but his expression was very sad.

As soon as Gu Qingming entered the house, he hurriedly approached Gu Bingkun's side and whispered, "Dad, I have already invited Zhou Gongzi back." ”

Gu Bingkun is fifty-six years old this year, in fact, he has not yet reached the age of sixties, but he is full of white hair and a thin torso, as if he is seventy or eighty years old.

He suffers from severe asthma and has been almost unable to manage in recent years, spending most of his time in bed. The circle is speculating about when he will die, and how his three sons will fight for the inheritance after his death.

I didn't expect him to die yet, the youngest son died so tragically, and the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, which was embarrassing.

"Gongzi Zhou!"

Gu Bingkun was very excited, he supported the handrail, reluctantly got up, and nodded to Zhou Erya: "Please come over, the family is unfortunate, come out here...... Tragedy, patrol house...... I was at a loss, so I had to ask Zhou Gongzi to find out the murderer for us. ”

Every time he said a word, he almost gasped for breath, and his face was gray and dead.

No matter how you look at it, Gu Bingkun is already in his last years, and at this time, he is fighting his spirit, but he is just returning to the light.

The death of his youngest son hit him very hard, if it weren't for his long-standing spirit and tenacity, and his obsession to know the truth and find out the murderer supported him, I am afraid that he would have gone underground long ago.

"Have the patrol houses been here?"

Zhou Erya nodded, and turned to ask Gu Mangzhong.

Gu Bingkun spoke too hard, and his two sons were his spokespeople.

Gu Mangzhong was a little surprised when he saw Han Yu, as if he didn't expect why he was here.

Because of Zhou Erya, he didn't say much, but said with a wry smile: "The people who patrolled the room saw the scene, and Inspector Li's face changed, and he said that this case is difficult to handle......

Agents in the Republic of China are afraid of headless cases, murder cases, and strange cases, but it is best not to touch anything that is involved with these three kinds of cases.

Headless cases generally refer to cases where the identity of the deceased cannot be confirmed or it is obvious that the crime was committed on the run, and there is no possibility of solving the case under the current conditions, and the detectives will certainly not do thankless work.

Murder cases refer to cases in which the methods of murder are particularly brutal, and such murderers are generally outlaws, and the police cherish their lives and do not touch them if they can.

The third type of strange case refers to a case that is strange from the bones, when people believe in ghosts and gods, and the death is particularly strange and weird, and if you can't prepare it, you have to think crookedly. It is better not to believe in the things of ghosts and gods, than to believe in them, and it is best not to touch them.

The two cases of the Gu family are both fierce and different when they are linked, and the patrol room does not dare to be perfunctory on the surface, but of course they stay away secretly.

Gu Bingkun was an old man, of course, he could see the embarrassing attitude of the patrol room, and he was heartbroken for the death of his young son, so he invited Zhou Erya desperately.

With the status of the Gu family and the treacherous nature of this case, it is most appropriate to invite a private detective of Zhou Erya's identity.

"Let's go see the scene first."

Hearing that the patrol room did not clean up the scene, Zhou Erya greeted Han Yu and asked a servant of the Gu family to lead the way and walk to the backyard.

Along the way, Zhou Erya gave Han Yu the demographic situation of the Kopugu family.

The Gu family is a textile family in Shanghai, but the old man Gu and his brothers have long been separated, and they have never had any contact with each other on weekdays.

"The old man who is sick and dying is Gu Bingkun, a tycoon in the textile industry, who started speculation more than ten years ago and turned the small yarn factory handed down from his family to its current scale, which can be regarded as a ruthless character. It's a pity that human life is not up to heaven, and he is dying before the age of sixty, which may also be the retribution for acting too ruthlessly in his early years. ”

"You have seen Gu Qingming and Gu Mangzhong, they are Gu Bingkun's eldest son and second son respectively, and the two are famous on the beach in Shanghai. It is said that as soon as Old Man Gu dies, these two sons have to tear their faces. ”

"Miss Modern, who sat on the couch over there and didn't speak, was Gu Qingming's wife who married home with three media and six certificates, and she was a very popular model singer in Shanghai back then. The relationship between her and the Gu family is not good, and she has to make trouble once every three to five days. ”

Standing behind Gu Bingkun was his godson and Sun Tangliang, the secretary of the Gu family. He has in his hands the property of the Gu family in the speculative market that the old man Gu's own son does not control, and it is said that he has made a lot of money from speculating in gold futures in the past few years, and the total amount must be three to five million ......."

"Tsk." Han Yu couldn't help but sigh, this is an astronomical amount of property.

Wealth is moving, with such a sum of money, what kind of murder will not make people feel strange.

"The rest, the housekeeper, the cook, the driver, and the gardener, the one who took us to the garden, is the gardener of the Gu familyβ€”he was also the first to find the body."

"Is that him?"

Han Yu pointed, and the gardener in front of him turned around and smiled dryly at the two of them, but under the dim light of the night, the dry smile looked a little scary.

The man squinted, and from the left forehead to the cheek, there was a deep scar, and the flesh was turned out, hideous and terrifying.

The servant who had never been in the Yigu family in the living room just now, but now that he suddenly took a look, Han Yu couldn't help but feel frightened and startled.

"This guy is a little weird, too......"

Han Yu quietly approached Zhou Erya and muttered in private.

Zhou Erya glanced at the gardener indifferently and shook his head: "He was originally a mess in the rivers and lakes, but later he was seriously injured and was saved by Gu Bingkun, so he was in the Gu family, and he can be regarded as loyal, and his appearance is a little weird, but there is nothing wrong with him in this case." ”

"How do you know everything?"

Han Yu blurted out, this is also strange, Zhou Erya has been in Europe for six or seven years, obviously returning to China with herself. How can you treasure the people in someone's mansion within a few days?
