Chasing the Mist

"He knew the cause of his mother's death, so he was relatively calm when he learned of her death."

Gu Xun turned his head and looked at Wan Tian, ​​who was calm in the interrogation room, "He is more difficult to deal with than we imagined. He has no conclusive evidence, and he won't speak up. Let him go first, and then go to see Wan Yiqing again, and at the same time follow Miao in surveillance. Honey that car, check it as soon as possible."

Following Miao Mi's car, Lin Yiran quickly found out that there were two people in the car, and the co-pilot was a private detective.

The private detective confessed that Wan Tian suspected that Miao Mi was having an affair in marriage, and asked him to follow up and collect evidence. Wanhui Shopping Mall followed all the way to the villa area. Miao Mi's car never stopped during the period. When he reached the gate of the community, the private detective turned to the seaside when he couldn't get in. .

After resting at the beach for a while, I drove to wander around the villa area. By chance, Miao Mi unlocked and entered the door. The lights in the villa were on for about 10 minutes. Someone went to Miao Mi's house and knocked on the door.

The private detective took a picture of the back of the two going up the stairs. Within 2 minutes of reaching the second floor, Miao Mi came down and closed all the curtains. The private detective waited for a long time, and drove away without opening the curtains again.

"What time did you leave?" Lin Yiran asked.

"It's past 11 o'clock in the evening."

After the private detective left, Lin Yiran looked at the photo for a long time. In the photo, the man was wearing a black hooded sweater with a sweater hat on his head. He was about 1 to 78 meters tall and thin. He went upstairs with Miao Mi. Intimacy.

A blurred back, except for height and figure, nothing abnormal can be seen, and it can't even be concluded that he and Miao Mi have an abnormal relationship between men and women.

Miao Mi died in her villa that night. The man in the black sweater was probably the murderer, but who he is is still a mystery at this time.

Meng Jia had a second conversation with Wan Yiqing, and his remarks were the same as what he said at the police station the first time. He said that Wan Tian seldom went home, and the three of them also ate out on weekends, and it was rare for Wan Tian to go home to sleep. , only come back occasionally during the Spring Festival and holidays, so he knows nothing about his parents' feelings.

Then Meng Jia asked Miao Mi's nanny again, and what the nanny said was similar to Wan Yiqing, which proved that Wan Tian was the one who lied.

Only one day later, Wan Tian came to the police station again, still looking unattainable. He slightly rolled up his sleeves, revealing his expensive watch, "I have a meeting at 10 o'clock, please hurry up."

Gu Xun directly threw him the video of the conversation with the private detective, and Wan Tian glanced at the man talking on the screen, his face changed instantly, his eyes that were high in the clouds showed a trace of panic, "I don't know this person, and I didn't send anyone Checked Miao Mi, he framed me."

Gu Xun threw over another bank statement, pointed to the remittance information on it, "Is this the name of your company?" Then he threw over a stack of documents, "The money paid to the private detective was transferred from your company account. The person contacting him is your assistant."

After a short pause, he raised his finger and pointed to the next room, "If you don't know anything about it, ask your assistant to say that he is asking questions next door, whether he was instructed by you, you will find out later."

Wan Tian frowned, loosened his tie, unbuttoned his neckline, sat up straight and looked at Gu Xun, the two eyes crossed parallel and entered each other's eyes, he was defeated, "I sent someone to find a private What about the detective? I suspect she is having an affair, so I'll find someone to investigate, what's wrong?"

"You knew she was having an affair a long time ago, so you asked a private detective to follow up and collect evidence, so as to lose some of her property in order to get divorced."

Being caught by Gu Xun's words, Wan Tiantian withdrew his gaze and turned to the white wall next to him. After a while, he sighed and turned his face back, "I knew that we were playing in our own states. It's been a while, she Back then, she was a penniless working girl, but for me, would she be where she is today? Even so, she is still not satisfied and wants more from me.

Ah!I can't give her all, and I don't only have one child in case.

This woman's desire is terrible, she hopes that 70.00% of my property belongs to her and Wan Yiqing. "

Wan Tian sneered, and continued: "This kind of divorce request is simply absurd. I don't want to give her the money, but I want to get a divorce. Of course, I will find other ways. I asked a private detective to follow him. The purpose is to get her cheating in marriage. evidence."

"What will happen if you can't get any evidence?" Gu Xun asked.

Wan Tian has worked in shopping malls for many years, and he is a well-rounded person. As soon as Gu Xun finished speaking, he immediately heard another meaning in the words, and said with a calm smile: "I want her to divorce. There are many other ways besides killing people. It's not necessary. For a woman, take yourself and our family's reputation.

If you suspect that I killed her, just go and investigate. I did send someone to follow her up and investigate her more than once, but this woman is as cunning as a fox. Every time I go outside, I find wild men and bring them to that villa, because The management of Shanghai Pearl is very strict. In a way, it looks like a prison. The guards at the gate are surprisingly strict, and there are security guards around the complex, as well as intensive surveillance video. Private detectives can't get in at all, so I have never been able to get evidence.

I once tried to bribe the staff of Haishang Mingzhu Property Management Co., Ltd., but that woman was not a vegetarian. She got the information from nowhere and went directly to complain to the management of the property management company. Those employees who wanted to do things for me did not dare to do anything, and I also It has been unsuccessful. "

"Since your purpose is so simple, why didn't you explain it yesterday? Do you have to go around in circles?"

Wan Tian patted his face, "I am 62 years old, I want face, my wife is cheating on men outside my back, if it gets out, what will the outside world say about me?

Young man, I think you are not young, you should understand that a man should be dignified, who would like a green head?And now that the Internet is so developed, my son will also be under pressure if it gets out. Once a scandal like my identity gets out, the company's stock will be affected. We are not ordinary people. Do you know how many eyes are staring at our Wanjia? accident. "

Gu Xun can understand these words. After all, Gu Renli also cares about reputation. He has had many women outside these years, but he never mentions divorce. In fact, dignity and face are only a small part of it, and it is more for money not to be damaged.

Gu Xun changed his sitting position and brought his thoughts back to the case, "How many lovers does Miao Mi have, do you know?"

"That woman is very careful in dividing the property, so far I only know a man named Zhang Xingchao who has had a good time with her.

That was the only private detective ever photographed her holding hands with a wild man on the road, or her face. It was taken at the beginning of the year. I don't know if the person has changed now. "

Wan Tian paused, "Miao Mi is actually quite ruthless. She doesn't love anyone except money and herself. In her eyes, men are just tools to make money. According to my observations, she divides men into two types. One is for making money. Tools, like me."

He laughed at himself, "Otherwise, she is so young, why have I been with me for so many years? And she doesn't care about her reputation, she gave birth to Qing secretly, without a name or division for so many years, without a single complaint, I thought she really loved me, until she married and came home , and slowly see her true face.

She and I are only for money, more and more money, and the desire/desire for money is beyond ordinary people's imagination. When she is satisfied with money to a certain extent, she starts to reach out to another kind of man, a kind of man who gives her physical She doesn't care about the status and family background of these men who are extremely satisfied, as long as they are healthy and young, old bones like me have long been unable to satisfy her.

The detectives found that there were three or five of those wild men, but they didn’t take photos of their faces. Only Zhang Xingchao took photos of their faces. I also checked with someone.

The photo of Zhang Xingchao is in my computer, and I will ask someone to send it to you later. "

Wan Tian was very efficient. He left the police station and Gu Xun received a photo.

The man in the photo has hair high and protruding like a mountain, his hairspray is polished, he is wearing a suit and tie, pointed leather shoes, and he is holding Miao Mi's hand. They don't know what to say, and they are smiling happily. The background is in front of Miao Mi's villa. .

Gu Xun took Zhang Xingchao's photo and compared it with the back view of the black sweater he just took. The two are about the same height, and nothing more can be seen.

Zhang Xingchao's personal information was quickly found out. He also has a job as a hair stylist in a well-known barber shop.

After lunch, Gu Xun and Lin Yiran rushed to the barber shop. Lin Yiran suddenly received a call from Gu Mingli, asking him to go to the director's office immediately. His tone was very strong. Gu Mingli was usually gentle, but suddenly he was so violent, Lin Yiran felt uneasy.

Gu Xun turned around and sent Lin Yiran back, and went into the director's office with him.

Gu Mingli stood in front of the window smoking a cigarette, the ashtray on the window sill was full of cigarette butts, seeing Gu Xun coming with his face full of displeasure, he shouted: "Gu Xun go out first, Xiao Ran stays alone."

Gu Xun looked at him, but didn't move, "I don't know what's up and down in the team? Just ask him to be an undercover agent, and it doesn't matter if you tell me in front of me."

"It's a private matter for me to find him. It has nothing to do with you. Get out quickly."

Lin Yiran touched him quietly, and said in a low voice, "Brother, go out, go find Zhang Xingchao with Meng Jia first, don't wait for me."

After Gu Xun left the office, Lin Yiran walked towards the window, "What's wrong, Uncle?"

Gu Mingli took a deep breath towards the window, pressed the button to extinguish the smoke, turned around, and said in a much lower tone, "What's going on with you and Gu Xun?"

Lin Yiran's heart sank, and the ominous premonition came true. Anyone in the Gu family asked this question, and he could answer it calmly. Only Gu Mingli asked him, and he couldn't say it.

Back then, Gu Mingli kindly took him in, took him to the Gu family, and gave him a stable life for more than ten years. If it weren't for Gu Mingli, Lin Yiran might be wandering in a certain street now, or be sent to an orphanage...

He quietly lowered his head and did not speak for a long time.

Gu Mingli guessed the result, and heaved a long sigh, "There are a large number of people in the same-sex group. Your aunt and I are not old-fashioned. The whole family respects your sexual orientation, but why did you get together with Gu Xun? He is your brother."

Lin Yiran slowly raised his head and looked at Gu Mingli, "Emotional matters are difficult to control, Uncle, I'm sorry."

Gu Mingli turned to face out of the window, sighed again, and said calmly: "Gu Xun's father already knew about it, he couldn't help but accept it, and now he is rushing back.

He asked me to change jobs for you, otherwise he would personally find someone. He donates a lot of money to the government and various organizations every year. He is considered a celebrity in Baicheng, and his network is bigger than mine. It's very troublesome to transfer back, how about this, you go to Nanping to stay for a while, and you have handled a case there a while ago, so you are more familiar with the environment, and I will transfer you back when Gu Xun's family solves it. "

"Can I wait until this case is over before I leave? Several cases in the past year seem to be aimed at Gu Xun. I'm worried that he's in danger, so I'll leave after I find out that person."

"Xiao Ran, please be sober. If my brother starts a fight, we will not be able to rest in peace. Gu Xun will be so quarreled by his father every day that he will not have the mind to investigate the case, and the progress of your case will also be delayed."

Lin Yiran didn't speak.

In the quiet, Gu Mingli thought of many things about Lin Yiran's childhood, and even attributed his sexual orientation to his family tragedy. After thinking about it, his heart softened, and he compromised: "This case is solved, you go to Nanping immediately."

Lin Yiran nodded, feeling infinitely grateful in his heart.

Outside the door, Gu Xun leaned on the wall by the door. He heard the conversation between Gu Mingli and Lin Yiran just now, he heard clearly, and said coldly: "You are not allowed to leave even after the case is over... If you want to leave, we will go together."

Lin Yiran didn't answer, just walked downstairs, Gu Xun chased after him, "You will be responsible for breaking me, if others give up after a few words, I look down on you."

Lin Yiran walked with his head depressed, still silent, his eyes were cold.

Walking out of the office building of the police station, the afternoon sun was scorching hot, making people irritable.

Gu Xun guessed that he had made a choice, a little flustered, stepped forward and grabbed Lin Yiran by the collar, pressed the car door, and said word by word: "Lin Yiran, I'm talking to you, can you hear me?"

Lin Yiran didn't fight back, let him talk, and said calmly: "Uncle Gu will be back soon, you have to be mentally prepared."

Gu Xun became even more anxious when he heard that, "I'm in a fucking relationship, and it's not about stealing, why should I care if he comes back or not?"

"Brother, calm down."

Gu Xun let go of Lin Yiran, took out his mobile phone and called Gu Yuan first, "You tell Dad, I'm with Lin Ran?"

Gu Yuan: "Brother, what kind of international joke are you making? How dare I tell the truth?"

Gu Xun called his mother again.

Gu's mother: "This one... that one... Oh, I had a video call with your dad, and Yuanyuan was chatting with me all the time, I forgot to talk to your dad about the video call, and accidentally said it Come out, son! Anyway, paper can't cover fire, your father will know sooner or later."

"Why didn't you tell me that he already knew?"

"I, I'm afraid you'll be angry."

Gu Xun hung up the phone helplessly, opened the door and sat in the car, wanting to smoke for a while, but couldn't find it after searching around.

Lin Yiran dug out a pack of cigarettes from nowhere, handed one to him, put it in his mouth, and lit it again.

Gu Xun took a puff, and suddenly remembered about quitting smoking. He extinguished the cigarette, followed by the anger in his heart, "Let's go and find Zhang Xingchao."

Lin Yiran: "Tell Brother Cheng to go, first think about how to tell Uncle."

Gu Xun turned his head, "What's on your mind? It's my own business, not Gu Renli's business." After saying that, he drove to the barber shop where Zhang Xingchao was.

Zhang Xingchao came home from vacation yesterday. Gu Xun asked for Zhang Xingchao's home address. Just as he was about to go there, Gu Renli called, "Where are you? Come home right away."
