Chapter 6: A Strange Way to Die
Before Zhou Erya could answer, they had already arrived at the scene of the murder.
Gu Bailu died in the small garden at the back of the mansion, and her body was leaning against a tall camphor tree, her body was entangled in yarn, so she maintained an upright posture.
The Gu family was wealthy, and there were electric lights in the garden, and the corpse happened to be placed under a fifteen-watt incandescent light bulb, which could be seen clearly.
Han Yu immediately understood why Gu Qingming said that it was obviously a different environment and a different cause of death, "exactly the same as the female worker who died in the yarn factory".
Gu Bailu's fingers were all cut off by Qi and neatly arranged in front of him, like blooming petals.
The position and distance are exactly the same.
The night breeze was blowing, and there seemed to be a faint ghost crying in the wind, and there was a terrible chirping of the night owl in the distance, and the miserable white light of the electric light hit the deceased, which looked extremely terrifying.
A gust of yin wind blew from behind, Han Yu only felt that his body was cold, he couldn't help but tighten his coat, secretly glanced at Zhou Erya, and found that he was calm about such a terrifying, murderous and weird scene, as if he was a cold-blooded precision machine with no human feelings, and he was never affected by the outside world.
"And this."
Zhou Erya squatted down, elegantly put on a pair of white gloves, and lifted a dead insect from the black pool of blood.
Textile Niang.
"This shows that there is an obvious connection between the two cases."
The strong hind limbs of the textile girl were also amputated, leaving only a fat body, how to look at it and feel weird. There was no glimmer of light in the gray-white eyes, and death enveloped everything with despair.
"Is it a serial killing?" Han Yu's mind was spinning rapidly, seeing that Zhou Erya was so professional and calm, he also endured the strange feeling of numbness in his back, and carefully examined Gu Bailu's wound.
Unlike the female worker Tang Die, Gu Bailu was killed by someone who pierced the heart with a murder weapon from behind. Due to the surprise, there was no trace of resistance at the scene.
After his death, the killer wrapped him around a tree with fine yarn and cut off his fingers, laying out the scene.
"I don't have a clue yet."
Zhou Erya put the textile lady on the white jade plate held by Adjutant Cai, threw away the gloves, circled the corpse twice, touched her chin, and thought thoughtfully.
If it is a serial killing, then what connection will the poor female workers in the yarn factory have with the third young master of the Gu family, so that they also become victims?
The nature of the case cannot be clarified if this crucial link cannot be determined.
Han Yu walked up to him and lowered his voice: "Didn't Jin Xinlan say that Tang Die is already pregnant?" Will it be ......"
The same brutal murder case linked two people who were originally very different, one was a gentleman and the other was a pregnant female worker. If there is any hand tail between them, it is the easiest relationship to think of.
"Gu Bailu is a loser in the family, often going in and out of places of sound, and there are also many scandals. If the child in Tang Die's belly is related to him, it is not surprising. ”
Zhou Erya didn't think Han Yu's reasoning was nonsense, but even so, it still couldn't explain why the two were killed.
"If these two people are really a couple, and the two parties are killed one after another for a few days, there seems to be no reason."
If someone is against the union of the two, it is understandable to hurt Tang Die or Gu Bailu, and it may even be that Gu Bailu is ruthless and wants to get rid of the woman who has a relationship with him.
But that doesn't explain why the two of them died in a strange way at the same time.
"It could be revenge." Han Yu began to deduce, "Gu Bailu learned that Tang Die was pregnant, so he killed her. Some people couldn't see it, so they avenged her and deliberately killed Gu Bailu in the way of a copycat, on the one hand, to spread suspicion, and on the other hand, to breathe a sigh. ”
Han Yu remembered the technician Zhang Yucheng he saw in the yarn factory that day, and was a little hesitant, but he still named him: "That Zhang Yucheng and Tang Die obviously have a good relationship, and he also has the opportunity to enter and leave the Gu family, so he may be a suspect in revenge." ”
"That's one line of thinking, it's just ...... Let's ask first. ”
Zhou Erya wanted to speak and stopped, but at some point she put on a pair of white gloves and held the dead textile girl, with a dark light flashing in her eyes.
Based on this reasoning, they began to interrogate the Gu family and related people one after another.
Gu Bingkun trusted Zhou Erya very much and allowed him to interrogate and investigate at will, and the Gu family had to do their best to cooperate.
Gu Qingming is obviously unhappy in his heart, but now that his father is not dead, how to divide the inheritance in the end has not yet been decided, as the eldest son, of course, he does not want his years of hard work to be in vain, so he has to follow his father's wishes.
In addition, Zhou Erya is the son of the Overseer, even if he doesn't want to follow his father's wishes, he has to give the Overseer three points of face.
"To be honest, I don't know much about this third brother." Gu Qingming simply spit out his bitterness to Zhou Erya, he has no feelings for this younger brother who is not doing his job, "Since he was seventeen or eighteen years old, he has made a group of fox friends and dog friends, and he can't stay at home at all on weekdays. I work in the factory during the day, and I see him only a handful of times in a year. ”
"And does he have any enemies?"
Han Yu wrote it down in his notebook seriously and asked.
Gu Qingming frowned, thinking of his younger brother's death, he was still a little moved: "The third child is making trouble outside all day long, fighting for the wind and being jealous, of course you say that there are many enemies." But...... If you want to be so ruthless, there is probably no such person, right? At least I don't know. ”
Most of Gu Bailu's friends and enemies are small openings in Shanghai.
Everyone is a character with a head and a face, and the contradiction is nothing more than a verbal conflict, in order to grab the head of the fan and fight for face, this kind of problem is so troublesome that it is to the point of killing people, it is really unimaginable.
Han Yu didn't expect anything to gain here, so he turned around and asked, "Then do you know how your third brother's relationship is between men and women?" ”
Zhou Erya noticed that when Han Yu asked this question, Gu Qingming's pupils contracted, and his expression of disgust flashed away.
"Needless to say, he's a bastard! There were some scandals and scandals all day long, and the old man was so angry with him that he almost broke off the father-son relationship, which was really unfortunate for the family! ”
Gu Qingming's tone was quite angry, and he didn't have much pity or sadness for his brother's death.
Han Yu asked: "So, do you know if he has a relationship with the dead female worker in the yarn factory?" ”
Gu Qingming was stunned, and immediately remembered the same death of the two, and felt disgusted, and said with a wry smile: "I don't know about this." The third brother actually rarely went to the yarn factory, and he didn't care about the family's business at all. But if he happens to see that woman has a bit of a look, maybe he will go up and entangle her, but I don't know. ”
Gu Qingming didn't know anything, it seemed that he didn't know much about this biological brother, and there was no affection between the brothers.
Compared with the eldest child, the second Gu Mangzhong's contempt for his younger brother is even more overflowing.
"He's just a dumb guy who can't hold up the wall! Father has long wanted to expel him from the house, if only he really did this, give him a sum of money to fend for himself, and it will not harm our Gu family! ”
Obviously, Gu Mangzhong became irritable because of the continuous murder cases, and he was even more impatient and anxious than when he met for the first time, just looking at Zhou Erya's face, he reluctantly answered Han Yu's questions patiently.
"Then will he have anything to do with the dead female workers in the yarn factory?" Han Yu asked him the same question again.
"Female workers?" Gu Mangchong sneered, "The third person is not taboo in meat and vegetarians, how can there be any reason to let go?" A few years ago, he fell in love with a female worker in the factory, which made his father furious, and I wouldn't be surprised at all if he reverted to his old ways! ”
Han Yu was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Did he have a relationship with the female workers in the factory before?" Can you find her? ”
Gu Mangchong looked impatient: "It's been so long, how can I remember?" I only remember that the female worker's name was Ah Qiao, and I went to the personnel department to check and maybe I had her information. ”
