Chapter 24: You Won't Really Come to Steal, Will You?
"What is this, why do you think I can't do it!"
Gu Xueli was immediately dissatisfied.
Han Yu had no choice but to shirk Zhou Erya: "You also know that Brother Zhou is in charge of the detective agency, and you have to listen to him for this kind of thing." β
Gu Xueli was a little stunned by Zhou Erya, she didn't dare to insist, she only muttered a few words of complaint, and then gave up, but she was still unhappy in her heart, and secretly made up her mind that even if Han Yu didn't take her, she would have to find a way to investigate the case herself.
Just do it, she is a resolute person, and she contacted a group of friends on the same day, ready to intervene in the investigation on her own.
Of course, Han Yu didn't know Gu Xueli's thoughts, he thought he had persuaded her, hung up the phone, and continued to worry.
He agreed with Zhou Erya's judgment that the person who used Ma Yongan's corpse must also have something to do with it.
- This is the most important clue and the only clue they can grasp.
However, Ma Yongan is a middle school student, although he is in a rebellious period and has a bad relationship with his parents, he is withdrawn in character and has not yet had time to form his own social relationships.
- In what way would he be related to the mastermind of the Seven Hands Soul Seeker?
Han Yu was at a loss.
With Ma Yongfu, the pressure on the patrol room has been reduced a lot, and for Inspector Huang, at least one case has been solved, even if it can't be applied to several other cases, and there may be further murders later, but at least it proves that the police are not wine bags and rice bags. Before the next dismemberment was present, he would finally be able to get a few restful sleeps.
So he didn't bother Zhou Erya and Han Yu in the past few days.
Shanghai Beach was calm, but Zhou Erya and Han Yu knew that if they couldn't solve this dead end, a broken arm would appear on the street next.
- It is a deep, suppressed fear.
However, there is nothing to be done.
"Inspector Huang is keeping an eye on Nong Yuhua's side, is there any news coming back?"
Zhou Erya's patience seemed to have been worn out a lot, and one morning she suddenly took the initiative to ask Han Yu.
"Nope."
Han Yu also paid attention to this person's news.
Nong Yuhua lived in a simple house, and when Ma Yongan's case happened, he didn't make any movesβno matter what, he couldn't be suspected.
But this person is always suspicious.
Even Han Yu felt the same, but unfortunately after so long, Inspector Huang still didn't have any news.
"Now that all the dots have been presented, the key is the final connection."
Zhou Erya pondered, and suddenly said to Han Yu: "Have you met Gu Xueli recently?" Let's go to Gu's house to have a look? β
Family?
Han Yu didn't expect Zhou Erya's whim, and couldn't help but be stunned.
What does the Gu family have to do with this?
They did suspect that Gu Guanzhong might be the target of this seven-handed soul seeking, but there was no evidence, after seeing it once, the Gu family did not make any changes, what new gains could they have from visiting again?
- Besides, didn't you have to leave last time?
Han Yu remembered Zhou Erya's performance last time she went to Gu's house, and smiled bitterly.
"Gu Guanzhong doesn't know anything about this matter, whether he is pretending to be stupid or what, this old fox can't get any information, right?"
He didn't feel the need to make a trip in vain.
"So I don't want to see Gu Guanzhong."
Zhou Erya shrugged her shoulders and didn't care: "I just want to go to the Gu family's house to have a look, you say hello to Gu Xueli, and we will go over when there is no one in his house." β
What kind of logic do you have?
Han Yu's eyes widened, the owner of the family is not at home, what are you doing in the past?
"What is he not doing with us?"
I still couldn't help but ask.
Zhou Erya shook her head: "If you want to confirm something, you can tell Gu Xueli." β
Han Yu couldn't resist him, so he could only call Gu Xueli again, Gu Xueli was excited at first, thinking that Han Yu had time to ask him out, but after hearing Zhou Erya's inexplicable request, she also felt surprised.
"What is he doing at my house?"
"I don't know ...... either"
Han Yu couldn't explain it.
Gu Xueli's eyes rolled around, and she readily agreed: "Okay, anyway, Zhou Gongzi is not a bad person, he will never take advantage of our absence to steal things, my father is not here these days, you can come over at any time." β
Gu Guanzhong has been worried about some business matters recently, he just went to Jiaxing a few days ago, and he has to delay a few days before coming back.
If Zhou Erya wants to come, let him come.
Such an unreasonable request can be agreed to, Han Yu had nothing to say, and turned around and told Zhou Erya. Zhou Erya is not polite at all, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, since Gu Xueli said that it is okay, then he will go to Gu's house that day.
Adjutant Cai drove them to the Gu Mansion, and Gu Xueli had already greeted the housekeeper at home and let Zhou Erya and the two of them visit freely.
Today, the Gu Mansion was empty and there were no outsiders, the master was not at home, everything seemed lifeless, and the servants carefully avoided the distinguished guests and let them take care of themselves.
Zhou Erya was really unkind, treating herself as a master, picking up two cherries to eat at random, walking around the living room, and then turning into the long corridor on the first floor.
The last time he had a ball, he had paid special attention to this place.
"What the hell are you looking at?"
At this time, how could Han Yu see that Zhou Erya had other plans.
Zhou Erya didn't answer him, just walked slowly through the corridor, carefully measuring the number of steps, and suddenly stopped at one location.
There is a lone wall lamp on the wall.
"What's wrong?"
Han Yu walked behind him with a stunned expression.
Zhou Erya stretched out her fist and gently tapped it on the wall, making an empty sound.
He nodded slightly, fumbling on the metal panel of the wall lamp, and suddenly, with a click, the panel popped open, revealing a small hidden hole.
Chamber?
Han Yu covered his mouth and looked back weakly.
Luckily, there wasn't much around.
Could it be that Zhou Erya already knew that there was a secret room here, so he wanted to take advantage of the Gu family's absence to find out?
But this ...... Not really, right?
He watched as Zhou Erya took out a golden key from his arms, stuffed it into a small hole, twisted it three times to the right, and opened a small door, revealing the hidden compartment in the wall.
Inside the compartment was a wooden jewelry box, about half the size of a book. Zhou Erya did not hesitate, reached out and took out the box, put it in his arms without opening it to watch, closed the dark compartment with his hand, and closed the panel.
- It all went smoothly, and it only took a few seconds in total.
Then everything went back to business as usual, as if nothing had happened.
"Brother Zhou, you won't really come to steal things, will you?"
Han Yu was stunned from the sidelines.
Zhou Erya smiled and was about to answer, when the phone in the living room suddenly rang heartbreakingly. Han Yu was startled and took a few steps back.
The two of them looked back, and the butler hurried out of the study, picked up the phone, and changed his face without saying a word.
