Fatalism is an excuse for the weak who lack willpower. — Romain Rolland

Si Qingyang also looked at Gu Mengping, and stood quietly waiting for him to speak, but Gu Mengping finally pursed his lips and said nothing.

"The case is coming, the evening party will be canceled immediately, and I'm busy again." Mu Fan walked over from the direction of the stairs, and it seemed that he came directly to intercept the two of them, and Gu Mengping had long been accustomed to this.

"It doesn't seem worthwhile for me to work in the team every day!" Gu Mengping moved his plastered arm irritably. It took a week to remove it, and now half of it has passed!What a grind.

"The registered police officer is also a police officer, and it's impossible to miss your salary." Mu Fan knew that he would say that, and Mu Zhiyuan also knew his virtue, so he asked Mu Fan to be a lobbyist.

"It depends on the situation and see if we can intervene." Gu Mengping didn't refuse either. Mu Zhiyuan could solve the simple case, so there was no need for him to do it.

Regarding Gu Mengping's wait-and-see attitude, Mu Fan just shrugged his shoulders, expressing that he didn't care, and he was used to this guy's foolishness.

Mu Zhiyuan first brought a team to the scene. When Mu Fan brought Gu Mengping to the scene, someone had already started to investigate the scene. The area where the murder occurred was in the old city of the capital, where there are dense old houses. It will be demolished in [-], and new high-rise buildings will be built here.

There are many areas like the capital, which are very common. In addition, the price of this kind of old house is lower, so many low-level people who work in the capital choose to live in such a place, so the people who live there are also mixed, and their identities are not very good. Sure, and the deceased was one of them.

"Who called the police?" Gu Mengping asked while wearing gloves.

"Landlord, I heard that I found it when I came to collect the rent." Someone beside me added, and Gu Mengping looked up. It was the deputy captain, Qin Anxu, who had gone to other provinces for an exchange meeting some time ago, and it seemed that he had just returned. .

"Brother Qin, when will there be an official letter about this salary increase?" Gu Mengping turned around and glanced at the people around him with a smile when he put on the shoe covers for himself.

"Tell the old man yourself that your salary is already the highest among us. It's useless to talk to me about this matter. I hate the rich." After giving Gu Mengping a look that he could do it himself, Qin Anxu walked in first. After leaving the scene, Gu Mengping let out a long breath on the spot, still feeling aggrieved!He was earning extra money, and his salary has not seen a dime yet!

These old houses have a common problem. The quality of the door is not very good. There is an iron window door on the outside and a wooden door on the inside. This kind of door is considered very high-end in these areas, but to be honest, the safety factor is still too low. An experienced hand can easily open the door.

"There is no trace of intrusion on the door." Qin Anxu glanced at it and said something.

Gu Mengping looked at the door lock, and there was indeed no trace.

The deceased was a woman in her 20s. Her name and identity could not be confirmed yet, but there should be a result soon. She glanced around the house, and the entry screen was a bit messy, probably because the murderer had rummaged through it, so the deceased Clothes were strewn everywhere.

Gu Mengping, who was wearing gloves, suddenly squatted down. Si Qingyang watched his movements, and saw him pick up a leopard-print lace underwear and take a look, frowning as if he was thinking about something.

There are a lot of high-quality imitation brand-name clothes in the room of the deceased. In addition, there are still some genuine products. The price of the real products should add up to be worth a lot.So here comes the question, why would a person who can afford so many famous brands live in this place?

The deceased died on the bed in his own room. When he just walked to the door, what Gu Mengping saw was a knife handle, which was inserted abruptly above the quilt. The not-so-thick quilt was now stained with bright red blood. It was red in large swaths, like a huge red rose, gorgeous and poignant, and some blackish colors indicated that the bloodstains had dried up, and it should have been some time.

"The time of death is about six to eight hours." Mu Fan stood beside the bed and covered back the half-opened quilt.

The deceased was not wearing any clothes, and his whole body was naked. Whether it was taken off by the murderer or by himself is unknown, and Mu Fan's follow-up examination of the body is needed to know.

Judging from the current state of the room, it is a bit like a burglary, because all the valuables of the deceased are gone, and the mobile phone charger by the bedside is still there, but the mobile phone was not found in the room. It is possible that the murderer took it away. .

No valuables were seen in the room, but those famous bags were not taken away. People who sell these things second-hand will make a lot of money. The murderer may be a man who does not know the goods. His intuition is very accurate, only men who don't care much about famous brands will ignore these, there are more bags than before that mobile phone.

Then the core question comes again. Under what circumstances did the murderer come in? Although this is an old residential area, the windows still have anti-theft nets, and there is no sign of prying open the door. Could it be that an acquaintance committed the crime? ?The possibility of this point is still very high, so what kind of reason did the deceased, a beautiful woman who lived alone, open the door to a man?

Even if they are acquaintances, how far is the acquaintance here?The deceased opened the door for the murderer, but the murderer wanted to kill the deceased and take her money?

Whether it was a burglary or an acquaintance who committed the crime, these are just guesses at present, and follow-up verification is needed to find the correct one of the two guesses.

"Where's the reporter?" Gu Mengping asked Qin Anxu in a low voice.

Qin Anxu glanced in the direction of the sofa, and Gu Mengping followed his gaze. It was a woman in her fifties who was holding a cup at the moment, her hands trembling, she didn't say anything, as if She was scared and wanted to leave this place, but she looked in the direction of the room from time to time, and she was a little anxious.

Yes, anxiety, not fear.

"What time did you find the deceased?" asked the police officer handling the case.

"Eight o'clock, yes, it's eight o'clock." He opened his mouth, his voice a bit vicissitudes and trembling.

"Then why did you call the police at 08:30?" Gu Mengping's voice came, and everyone's eyes fell on him. Gu Mengping's eyes on the watch fell on the landlord. Women are lying, as for the reason, it is intriguing.

"I... I was shocked, so I called the police when I came back to my senses." The elderly woman became a little uneasy when she was frightened by Gu Mengping's serious voice, and her speech was also hesitant, and she was really scared at the moment.

"I heard that the previous rent was collected in the middle of the month, why is it at the beginning of the month this time?" Gu Mengping walked over and sat on the somewhat worn-out sofa and asked.

Because the time difference between the wages of these migrant workers is only around the 15th, NO.[-] is a very suitable time to collect rent, but today is not. Today happens to be August [-]st, just before the last rent collection. It's been only half a month.

"It's hard to calculate in the middle of the month. Some people will move out at the end of the month, so we plan to start collecting at the beginning of the month..." This sentence was said neatly, almost Gu Mengping answered it after asking.

"you?"

"..." The middle-aged woman raised her head and glanced at Gu Mengping, her eyes were wide open, and the nervousness was unmistakable.

"You weren't the one who found the corpse first." Gu Mengping looked at the other party's reaction and suddenly said with a smile.

If that's the case, the landlord's reaction isn't surprising.

"You think about it carefully before deciding what to say." Gu Mengping was not in a hurry to force the landlord, and he didn't seem to be a stubborn person, and he should explain it soon.

Now he needs to take a closer look at the condition of the corpse.

Whether the landlord's discovery was a coincidence or not is hard to say now, and now I hope to find another clue on the corpse.

"The deceased was suffocated and then stabbed." Mu Fan gave a result after examining the corpse, but the specific situation will not be known until after the autopsy.

There was no sign of struggle on the body of the corpse, so the murderer may have used something like a drug.

The result of Mu Fan also gave Gu Mengping another thought. The burglary seems to be a little bit less. The murderer obviously wanted the woman to die. After suffocating, he would make up for it with a knife. This proves that he absolutely does not want the woman to live. See dawn.

Is it because you are too scared after stealing something, or is there some other reason?

Now there are several hypotheses that the deceased opened the door to the murderer in the middle of the night, so according to this intimate relationship, the murderer may not necessarily lend a helping hand when the murderer lacks money, or does it mean that the deceased rejected the murderer's request for help?

The second hypothesis is that the murderer sneaked into the deceased's house when the deceased was not aware of it. In this way, the murderer's purpose is not for money, but the murderer just wants the deceased to die.

Regardless of which of these two points, the result given is still that the murderer wants to kill the deceased, and the reason for vendetta is even more amplified.

"What do you think?" Gu Mengping stood aside and asked.

"Looking for something." Si Qingyang just responded with three words lightly and didn't say any more.

Gu Mengping glanced at him, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face. It seems that this assistant is not so useless, and it is similar to what he thought. His first reaction was indeed to rob money, but after walking around, the thought dissipated Almost there.

The messy room was really misleading. At first Gu Mengping thought he was looking for something valuable, but those famous bags made him suspicious until his eyes fell on the platinum necklace in the cosmetic box.

He knew that this was really not a robbery.Then, it is worth scrutinizing whether the murderer is a man or a woman.

While Gu Mengping was thinking, Qin Anxu came over and said, "The landlord has spoken."
