Chapter 4: Another Murder

Jin Xinlan is a simple and enthusiastic female reporter, she got news clues at the beginning, but when she wanted to interview Qinglong Yarn Factory, she was stopped at the door.

So she reported to the club and wanted to send a newsletter, but she was also taken down by the editor-in-chief.

She felt that there must be something wrong with it, so she searched around, not only got a lot of true and false news from Tang Die's co-workers, but also got the autopsy report of the patrol room, and finally came to ask two witnesses for questioning.

"It must have been a homicide." Hearing that Tang Die was also pregnant with a child, Han Yu was even more angry, and said without thinking, "This is outright murder, the machine that gives blessing has a safety handle, and once something is stirred in, it will stop urgently." The deceased was strangled with yarn like that, apparently someone had closed the safety opening. ”

He thought of this at the time, after all, it was a technician who came back from Europe, who was proficient in these machines.

Jin Xinlan's eyes lit up and asked, "Do you think it's a murder?" ”

"Ahem." Zhou Erya coughed lightly, glanced at Han Yu, and felt that what he said to the reporter just now was too inconsiderate.

Even for murder, the police cannot convict without physical evidence, let alone an ordinary witness.

Han Yu heard Zhou Erya's cough and knew that he was a little impulsive, so he cleared his throat with some embarrassment: "I just feel very strange......"

"Not sure yet." Zhou Erya opened her mouth lightly and came out to deny, "Although, the incision at the broken part of her finger is very neat, the position of her finger is obviously carefully placed, and the posture of death is even more designed." ”

"But that doesn't prove murder, we need more evidence."

Hearing Zhou Erya's decent answer, Han Yu had to sigh in his heart, the son of the Overseer's family is different from a rough person like himself, every sentence is very subtle, which not only gives the reporter nuanced evidence, but also prevents her from scribbling.

Zhou Erya didn't give a positive answer, but Jin Xinlan got the first-hand information of the crime scene and was already satisfied, she believed that writing the truth would definitely cause a sensation.

After Jin Xinlan left, Han Yu was even more impatient, pacing back and forth in the living room.

The building rented by Zhou Erya was originally the residence of a French merchant in the former Qing Dynasty, and later changed hands several times and was well preserved.

The living room on the first floor is spacious and bright, with a small garden outside, and a white picket fence against the fence, so that the afternoon sun can just shine through the bay window.

"What now? Even if the reporter's report comes out and there is no evidence, if the patrol room does not hurry up the investigation, it will still be difficult to find the murderer. ”

Han Yu insisted that this should be murder, and what he was worried about now was that the case would be closed, and no one would care about the unjust souls who died in vain.

"Don't worry, wait two days to see." Zhou Erya glanced at Han Yu unhurriedly, "You have already made a decision?" ”

"I'm going to find out about this case."

Han Yu's answer was categorical.

He wants to become Zhou Erya's partner and work with him to uncover the darkness in the world and find out the truth.

Han Yu thought of the eyes of the deceased and saw such a cruel scene, and the sense of justice in his heart could not allow him to ignore it.

Zhou Erya looked at Han Yu in the sun and smiled slightly: "In the future, please take care of it." ”

"That's what I should say!" Han Yu walked up to Zhou Erya, took a deep breath, looked at him with sincere eyes, bowed suddenly, and stretched out his hand, "I'm very happy to be Mr.'s partner, please bother to advise and take care of him in the future!" ”

He was not suitable for such a grand and formal appearance, and he respectfully called himself sir......

Zhou Erya looked at his outstretched hand, and after a few seconds, the delicate and slightly cool fingertips gently touched his warm calloused palm.

Han Yu didn't expect that Zhou Erya, who had never had physical contact with people, would reach over, and happily held his delicate-skinned, pampered hand, and shook it vigorously.

Zhou Erya shook hands with him with some regret, took out his hand from his hot palm, shook it, and habitually took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped his slender fingers.

"Don't mind, I'm not disgusted with you, I just don't like to be contaminated with other people's breath." Zhou Erya explained lightly that he also didn't like others to contaminate his taste.

When he first met, Han Yu would definitely silently complain in his heart that he was a weirdo.

But now that he is getting more and more familiar, and Zhou Erya has the grace of knowing him, of course Han Yu will not mind, but thinks that some of his little quirks are very cute.

"I know, you don't like people touching you...... But don't worry, I don't have a contagion. Han Yu made a joke, looked at the big house, and began to look for a place for his office.

"I asked Adjutant Cai to clean up a bedroom for you, and you can move here today." Zhou Erya knew that Han Yu's place was very poor, anyway, the mansion was very big, and he couldn't live in many rooms, so he was in a bad mood when he was here alone.

"That'...... The rent will be deducted from my salary in the future! Han Yu was not hypocritical, and already regarded Zhou Erya as a person who was also a relative and friend to be trusted, "I'll go out now to find clues." ”

Another day later, Ta Kung Pao's report finally came out, although many overly drastic words were deleted, but a terrible death case occurred in Qinglong Yarn Factory, and this information finally reached the eyes of the citizens.

In these troubled times, human life is not valuable.

But the woman's death was too bizarre, since someone took the lead in reporting, the Gu family could no longer hold back, and several newspapers and periodicals came out to mention this strange murder in the yarn factory, which caused the market to boil for a while, and there were different opinions.

The Gu family was anxious, and they tried their best to guide public opinion, which made people feel that this was an accident.

"Those who do not understand that these workers do not follow the safe construction rules and will inevitably have accidents. You said that in the silk reeling factory next door to the Gu family, no one will cut off a few fingers one day, who cares about this? ”

"Yes, it's over if you lose some money, is the family of the deceased dissatisfied with the compensation this time?"

Most of this is speculation, but there are also those who disagree with them.

"There are a lot of people who have lost their lives in the yarn factory, but I have never heard of this forced into the yarn machine and strangled to death. Besides, Gujia is the best machine in Germany, so it's safe! ”

Some people got inside information and quietly speculated: "I heard that the little girl is not a good one, and she has a seed in her stomach before she gets married." I pondered, this is for fear that the ugly thing will be exposed, and I will kill myself! ”

"This should be a pig pen!"

"If you don't keep women's morals, you deserve it!"

The conservative women of the feudal point immediately fried the pot and said angrily.

Eventually, this statement was accepted by most people.

However, there are still many people sighing: "If you don't get married, your belly is big, it's too much, but if you want to die, the Huangpu River has no cover, and if you can't find a grove and a white silk to cast, why bother with the owner?" ”

This rumor spread the most fiercely, and it has almost become a final conclusion.

Later, Jin Xinlan was not angry, and jumped out to write a manuscript to show up for the victim female worker.

"It's a strange thing to hear about it today. Instead of pursuing the victims, they beat them up and accused the victims of misconduct. Taking 10,000 steps back, Tang Die really committed suicide, who is the father of the child in her womb, shouldn't she come forward at this time and be pointed out by Wanfu? ”

Tang Die has been sluggish since he was a child, has only one old mother, and has no brothers to rely on, and these materials have also been turned out.

This is a weak woman, which makes people even more unbearable.

All of a sudden, public opinion was chaotic, conservative, radical, stubborn, and open, and various views emerged one after another, and they were very happy. After tea and dinner, the murder of this yarn factory turned out to be a hot spot on the beach.

Han Yu read a few newspapers on the right, threw them on the table angrily, and said: "Now that the truth of the matter has not been clarified, some defenders can't wait to blame the deceased, it's really hateful!" ”

He was even more angry that he had been investigating for a few days, but nothing had happened.

I only found a bunch of useless lace news and gossip, such as the boss of the Gu family marrying a star, and his wife is a big beauty.

"Since they can't hold it down, of course they will have to splash dirty water, which is also expected by me." Zhou Erya elegantly and idly fiddled with the flowers cut from the garden, one by one in the priceless Yuan blue and white vase, "The biggest doubt now is what message this ceremonial death wants to convey, which is the key to solving the case." ”

Whether it is suicide or murder, the body of the deceased is deliberately arranged, must it be to convey a message?

Is it a curse? Is it revenge? Or is it something else?

Zhou Erya has not yet solved this mystery.

Han Yu wanted to visit Qinglong Yarn Factory several times, but he was always turned away, and the yarn factory was shut down in the past few days, and the gate was closed, and no one was allowed to enter at all.

Han Yu thought to himself that it was really not good, report Zhou Erya's name, and the yarn factory would definitely let him in, at this moment, Gu Qingming, the eldest young master of the Gu family, was ordered by the old man to come to the door in person, and invited Zhou Erya to the Gu family with a sad face to investigate a new murder.

- Zhou Erya is the son of the Overseer after all, and as soon as the news of his establishment of the Eryu Detective Agency came out, the entire Shanghai Beach was boiling.

Zhou Renshan knew that his son was bent on going his own way, he was angry and angry, and the other warlord consortiums only dared to talk privately about this strange and unconventional son, but on the surface, everyone still came to congratulate him, and they took the opportunity to give gifts and relationships outside the garden of the bungalow.

So when the Qinglong Yarn Factory had an accident again, the first thing that Old Man Gu thought of was to invite the Overseer, who had just established a private detective agency, to come and check.

"Who died?"

Although he had a premonition that the clouds on the head of Qinglong Yarn Factory had not dispersed, Han Yu was still extremely surprised that there was another murder so soon, and it was inevitably a little impolite to ask.

Fortunately, Gu Qingming didn't care, he hesitated, lowered his head and sighed: "It's my third brother who was unfortunately killed......

The three brothers of the Gu family, the eldest Gu Qingming, is nearly forty years old, and he has long married a wife and started a family, and he is the right-hand man of the old man Gu.

Lao Ergu mango planting, helping to take care of the yarn factory industry, can be regarded as diligent.

Old Sangu Bailu, but he is a gentleman. Soak in Paramount all day long to dance Miss Dancing as a singer, fighting cocks and lackeys, and doing everything.

He was actually killed?

It's no wonder that Master Gu invited Zhou Erya to come over, this time it was not an unknown female worker who died, but his own flesh and blood, of course, he had to find out clearly.

"The most terrifying thing is ......" Gu Qingming hesitated, his face was quite ugly, and finally gritted his teeth and confided the truth.

This is a family ugly, but if you want to hide it, you can't hide it, so it's better to tell it out.

"The third brother died in the garden of his home, his fingers were cut off and placed around his body, and he died...... It turned out to be exactly the same as the female worker in the yarn factory! ”

Gu Qingming's face turned pale, thinking of the situation when he saw the corpse at that time, his body shook, covered his mouth with his sleeves, and wanted to vomit again.
