riddle

Gu Ci had just woken up, and was dragged out by Han Nuoshang before he was fully awake. He sat in the car with sleepy eyes, and was so dazed that he almost fell asleep.

No way, he suffered from insomnia again last night, and he barely fell asleep until dawn the next day. As a result, he was woken up by Han Nuoshang's urging knock on the door, and finally got up from the bed.

Zhang Yue lives in an old community. He lived here ten years ago. I don't know why he hasn't moved out.

After the two parked the car, they went to the address that Lin Chenyi had sent them. This place is considered a commodity building. Ten years ago, the environment here was good, but now, ten years later, there is only an old community here. The name, now some migrant workers rent here to live.

Zhang Yue's home is on the seventh floor, but the elevator is broken and is under maintenance, so they can't sit up. The two can only walk up with their own feet.

Gu Ci observed the surrounding environment while walking. There are traces left by the years everywhere here. Those who are capable have moved away from here to other places. Zhang Yue was able to buy this place nine years ago, which shows that his economy The ability is still good, but now... the things that happened to him in the past nine years probably have memories that he can't forget.

He and Han Nuoshang's physical strength is not bad, and they can climb the seventh floor without taking a breath.

Han Nuoshang got the house number right, confirmed the location of Zhang Yue's house, and knocked on the door, but no one answered or opened the door for a while.

"Is no one home?" Han Nuoshang knocked on the door again.

Gu Ci glanced at him, in fact, he can pry open the door, and it can be done so that no one can find out.

Han Nuoshang saw what he was thinking, and shook his head silently at him. They are only here to find Zhang Yue to understand the situation, not to arrest people. Breaking into private houses is not allowed by the organization, unless there are special circumstances.

Well, Gu Ci silently put down the paw holding the wire, he obeyed the arrangement of the organization.

I don't know how long it has passed, the two of them have been wasting at the door of Zhang Yue's house, anyway, they have time and are not in a hurry.

With a "click", the door opened from the inside.

The two looked at each other. It turned out that someone was inside, but they had no intention of opening the door for them. Fortunately, they didn't leave just now.

Both Gu Ci and Han Nuoshang had seen Zhang Yue's photo nine years ago. Although he was not very handsome, he was also sunny and delicate, but unlike this

The person who opened the door to them was so different that it was hard to feel that they were the same person.

With pale skin, unglamorous eyes, and a thin figure that seemed to fall to the ground in an instant, he glanced at the two of them without saying anything else.

"Excuse me, are you Zhang Yue? I'm Han Nuoshang from the Criminal Investigation Team of the City Bureau, and I want to ask you to understand the situation!" Han Nuoshang showed his ID.

Zhang Yue nodded, turned and walked into the house without checking his ID, as if he was not surprised at the arrival of the police, or he had already guessed that the police would come to the door.

The two walked into the living room, the layout inside was very simple, with two sofas, a table and a TV, it wasn't messy, but the two of them somehow felt a gloomy and cold feeling from here.

Zhang Yue walked into the kitchen and poured them two glasses of water, and the two took them and put them aside.

"You seem to know why we came to you!" This is not an interrogative sentence, Gu Ci is very specific.

"I know, you want to ask about what happened nine years ago!" Zhang Yue's voice was hoarse and weak.

"I'm very sorry, but can you tell us something about it?" Han Nuoshang didn't want to do this kind of thing that exposed people's scars, but there was no way. No one knew whether the incident nine years ago had anything to do with Chen Yu's murder. .

"It's okay!" Zhang Yue lit a cigarette for himself, slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and then leaned on the sofa, "Nine years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Xiao Chen has also been gone for nine years!"

The two of them didn't disturb his memory time, they only replied to them after he came out of the memory.

"Zhang Chen and I have been dependent on each other since childhood, we have no parents!"

Zhang Yue looked towards the TV cabinet, and a group photo was caught in the pupils of the three of them. It was a group photo of the two brothers of the Zhang family. In the photo, the two people had smiles on their faces, warm and happy.

But now, things have changed.

"Nine years ago, Zhang Chen met Chen Yu's younger sister, Chen Yuting, when he was in college, and they fell in love soon! I don't object to their love. I have always respected his own choices in life, but now I don't Do you know if my respect hurt him!"

Gu Ci said nothing, he knew it was not Zhang Yue's fault, but before the wounds that had already been caused, everything he said now was pale, and he knew that a person's wounds would not be healed by just a few words from others.

"Their relationship developed quickly, and gradually the two families became familiar with each other. Later, when they reached the point where they were talking about marriage, Zhang Chen became inexplicably depressed and avoided Chen Yuting's family. I thought he was a little anxious about getting married, but I didn't think much about it!" Zhang Yue has been living in pain and regret for the past few years.

He kept asking himself if he had cared more about Zhang Chen, would he not have died, would everything have been different.

"At that time, I didn't know that he was already suffering from depression. It happened that Chen Yu asked me to talk about their marriage. I wanted to help Zhang Chen, so I agreed! Chen Yu asked me out, and you all know that. He did such a thing to me. I can't say such a thing, but there will be a knot in my heart, and sometimes I will unknowingly vent my anger on Zhang Chen. After a long time, maybe he himself I found it too!" Zhang Yue paused, his eyes turned red, "He came to me that night and said he wanted to chat with me, but I ignored him and locked myself in the room, I know he has been standing at the door It's been a long time since I left, but I never thought that would be the last time he talked to me!"

Although Zhang Yue felt uncomfortable, Zhang Chen was still his younger brother no matter what, and he still worked hard to make breakfast for him.

It's just that Zhang Chen, who got up on time on weekdays, didn't even have a shadow of anyone this day. Zhang Yue immediately felt a little unhappy. He went to pat on Zhang Chen's door, but no one responded to him.

He didn't think he wanted to break in directly, Zhang Chen just lay on the bed like that, ignoring the blood on his wrists and sheets, Zhang Chen seemed to be sleeping there peacefully.

Zhang Yue trembled and touched him, hoping that he would give him a reaction, but in the end he could only touch his cold body.

He sent Zhang Chen to the hospital, but the doctor told him that Zhang Chen had passed away last night, sleeping pills and pulse cutting, how could he not be saved, Zhang Chen is gone, his only relative is gone!

Last night, shortly after leaving the door of Zhang Yue's room, Zhang Yue broke down in tears...

Zhang Chen left him his last words with only a few words--Brother, I'm sorry!

Zhang Yue wanted to pull him back, and wanted to say to him: None of this is your fault, let's start over, shall we?

But it's impossible, Zhang Chen can't come back, no one will call him elder brother anymore, no one will act like a baby to him anymore.

Zhang Yue wanted to avenge him, so he took Chen Yu to court, and other people who had been hurt by him also came forward to testify against what he had done, but Chen Yu was unforgivably sentenced to nine years in the end. Chen did nothing wrong but never came back.

"It's all my fault!" Zhang Yue raised his head, tears streaming down his face, "If I could have discovered something wrong with him earlier, if I had a better attitude towards him...would the result be different."

Neither of them spoke. There is no what-if and what-if in this world. When something happens, it happens. No matter how painful it is, life still has to go on.

The dead are gone, and the living carry the wishes and expectations of the dead and shoulder their own responsibilities and walk towards the future step by step. Maybe one day they will meet someone who can let them put down their burdens and start life again.

The two left Zhang Yue a long period of relaxation, and they didn't start asking questions until his mood stabilized.

"You should already know that Chen Yu has been released from prison!" Zhang Yue hated Chen Yu so much, he should have paid attention to the fact that he had been released from prison, but Han Nuoshang still asked symbolically, "But now he is dead, and he is dead." Miserably."

Zhang Yue raised his head suddenly, and after a moment of astonishment, there was a smile in his eyes, "Dead? A good death! What qualifications does a person like him have to live in this world, it's a pity that I didn't solve him myself."

"I'm sorry, what we need to investigate now is who killed him, and we need your cooperation." Han Nuoshang smiled at him, inexplicably feeling that Zhang Yue was very strange.

Zhang Yue left the beginning and said nothing, Han Nuoshang glanced at Gu Ci and motioned for him to ask.

"Mr. Zhang, may I ask, where were you on the night of October 23?" According to the autopsy report given by Bai Yinchen, Chen Yu died that night.

"I am home."

"Can anyone testify against me?"

"No, I'm alone."

Gu Ci and Han Nuoshang looked at each other, there was no alibi, but judging by Zhang Yue's size, it seemed impossible for him to kill Chen Yu, and he didn't study medicine, he was just a listed company nine years ago A small white-collar worker, it can't be that he went to learn anatomy again in the past nine years!

"Okay, we understand." Gu Ci sat upright, "If necessary, we will contact you, thank you for your cooperation."

In the car, Gu Ci looked sideways out of the window and didn't say a word along the way.

"What are you thinking about?" Han Nuoshang observed Gu Ci's reaction from the corner of his eye while driving.

"Zhang Yue should know something, but he is not a murderer!"

"Is it possible that he is the one who destroyed Chen Yu's body?"

Gu Ci nodded, "Maybe!" He was not sure either.

On the other side, Chu Han and Song Zhiyue also rushed to Chen Yuting's residence.

This is still a relatively lively urban area, and the house planning is fairly complete. It is not difficult to find such an address.

Chu Han knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" A female voice came from the room.

"Hello, is this Miss Chen Yuting, Miss Chen? We are from the Criminal Investigation Team of the Municipal Bureau, and I want to talk to you about something." Song Zhiyue said.

There was a "squeak" at the door, and a woman in her 30s stood at the door.

The two showed her their documents and gave her a look.

"Do you have anything to do with me?"

"Are you Chen Yu's sister?" Song Zhiyue asked.

When Chen Yuting heard Chen Yu's name, her face changed obviously. Song Zhiyue and Chu Han looked at each other, and Chen Yuting's expression was filled with disgust and hatred...

"Bah! I'm not that beast's younger sister." Chen Yuting made no secret of her hatred for Chen Yu. "What? Did he do something wrong again? Don't look for me, he must have done it. Just go and arrest him." alright."

"..." Song Zhiyue was at a loss for words.

"Miss Chen, calm down first." Chu Han waved his hand at him, "Can we go in and sit down?"

It was only then that Chen Yuting remembered that they had been standing at the door, so she hurriedly let them in.

"Do the two police officers need something to drink?" Chen Yuting calmed down and tidied up the living room for them to sit down.

"We are indeed here for Chen Yu's affairs." Chu Han said, "Chen Yu is dead."

After hearing this, Chen Yuting didn't know how to react. She hated Chen Yu and wished that he would die sooner, but when he really died, she was not as happy as she imagined.

"What do you want to ask?"

"I want to know who hates Chen Yu." Chu Han paused, then added, "The kind who wish he could die."

"Yes, I am one!" Chen Yuting said surprisingly, "Of course, Xiaochen's brother is also one."

Chu Han and the two looked at each other, not knowing who he was talking about.

"Do you know Zhang Chen?" Chen Yuting asked.

The two nodded, and it turned out that the little minister she was talking about was Zhang Chen.

"Xiaochen and I met when we were in college, and I chased him." When thinking of Zhang Chen, Chen Yuting smiled unconsciously, but then became bitter. It’s fine if we’re not together, I’m the one who killed him.”

Song Zhiyue patted her on the shoulder, "It's not your fault!"

"Xiaochen is a very cheerful person, he always warms me like sunshine." Chen Yuting immersed in the tender memories of the past, "I really love him."

The two nodded, and it was obvious that it was a pity that the lovers were separated by yin and yang in the end.

"I used to think that I had a good brother, at least I thought so before Xiaochen's accident!" Chen Yuting sighed, she never thought that the person who personally ruined her happiness was her own brother.

Seeing that she was about to cry, Song Zhiyue quickly handed her a tissue, no matter how many years had passed, it was still a scar in her heart.

"I took Xiaochen home and told them that Xiaochen was my boyfriend. My parents were very happy. Chen Yu also said congratulations to me at that time, and he said that he would send the best wishes at our wedding ceremony. Zhangchen and I agreed to get married as soon as we graduated, but...but..." Chen Yuting sobbed, "That day, Xiaochen told me that we were going to break up. I didn't know what I did wrong. I'm old enough to rest for a while, I'm willing to give him time, I'm willing to wait for him, but what happened! The last thing I waited for was his corpse..."

Song Zhiyue felt inexplicably sad. She believed that Chen Yuting and Zhang Chen really loved each other, but it was a pity that they met a bad brother. They were so innocent but had to bear the price of others' mistakes.

"It wasn't until Zhang Yue brought Chen Yu to court that I didn't know what happened to Xiaochen. That beast did something like that to Xiaochen. Xiaochen is my lover and his brother-in-law. How could he Can……"

Chu Han was silent.

"You ask me who wants to kill him. There are many people who want to kill him. My parents don't recognize him as a son anymore. He is not from our family, and it has nothing to do with me if he dies."

Chen Yuting's tone sounded quite indifferent, but she couldn't be blamed, after all, Chen Yu was really inferior to a pig and a dog. Song Zhiyue herself couldn't figure out why she worked so hard to investigate the case for such a scumbag.

"Miss Chen, I know you are very unwilling, but our responsibility is to find out the murderer. If you have any clues to provide, we welcome you at any time." Chu Han got up and kowtowed slightly. He was not as emotional as Song Zhiyue. Knowing exactly what to do "Let's go back first."

Chen Yuting got up to see them off, and when she walked to the door, she suddenly remembered something.

"Wait a minute." Chen Yuting called to stop them, "There is another person who may hate Chen Yu very much, and she may know something."

The two said in unison: "Who is it?"

"Xiao Qin'er, she also likes Xiaochen, but she gave up after Xiaochen was with me. She said she would bless us, but I can feel that she still loves Xiaochen very much."

The two returned to their cars--

"Chu Han, do you think Xiao Qin'er's name sounds familiar?" Song Zhiyue thought about the name carefully, but she didn't remember much.

"Indeed..." Chu Han couldn't remember, "Call the captain and the others first!"

After Han Nuoshang discussed Zhang Yue with Gu Ci for a while, he became silent again.

Han Nuoshang was still concentrating on looking at the car, but Gu Ci glanced out the window several times and adjusted the rearview mirror several times. Han Nuoshang, the driver, hadn't adjusted the rearview mirror at all, so he let Gu Ci excuse him.

"What's wrong?" Gu Ci wouldn't do these things for no reason, but Han Nuoshang couldn't understand what he was doing.

"Do you think it's weird there?" Gu Ci vaguely felt that someone was following them, but he couldn't find the direction.

"Is there?" Han Nuoshang frowned. Could it be that his vigilance had dropped, why didn't he feel anything? "Could it be..."

Before Han Nuoshang finished speaking, he was interrupted by a hasty ringtone. It was Chu Han's call. They should have just gone to Chen Yu's sister.

"Hey!"

"Boss, we just finished going to Chen Yuting's house!" Chu Han was driving, so the person holding the phone was Song Zhiyue.

"What did you find?"

"There is a person..."

"Be careful……"

Before Song Zhiyue finished speaking, she was interrupted by Gu Ci's sudden shout of 'be careful'.

"Hello? Boss?" Song Zhiyue glanced at the phone, but the communication had been cut off.
