riddle

When the two returned to the office together, Yi Ming had already been waiting there for a long time, still holding a stack of documents in his hand.

Gu Ci walked towards him, only to realize that there were two more behind him, a man and a woman standing there timidly.

Seeing Gu Ci walking towards him, Yi Ming quickly stood up, put away the materials, and nodded to him: "Mr. Gu."

"It's just the two of them?"

Gu Ci was leaning against the table beside him, looking at the two people behind him with interest, he looked really cowardly, did he want to use such a person against himself?

"Shang Yi, a reporter from Yuancheng New Newspaper, is currently mainly responsible for some news reports... Shang Hai, a high school sophomore in No. [-] Middle School in the East District of Yuancheng, has average academic performance and gets along well with his classmates and teachers. His father has passed away. The two and Mothers depend on each other." Yi Ming paused, then continued, "Shang Yi is the one who took your photo today, and Shang Hai is the one who wrote articles to slander you, oh! By the way, they are siblings."

Shang Yi and the two looked at him in surprise, they didn't expect that this person had already checked out their details, it seemed that he really wouldn't be their opponent...

Yi Ming pushed his glasses, he hadn't worked for a long time - after all, not everyone would dare to mess with Gu's people, so it's exciting to have a job now.

"Okay! No one has punished me like this for many years." Gu Ci raised his eyebrows and smiled at the two of them, his eyes filled with endless chill, "Lawyer Yi, what do you think I should do?"

"You can file a public prosecution, and I will do my best to help you, and definitely make them pay the price."

"Oh~ what do you think?" Gu Ci looked at the two siblings.

"I...we were just joking." Shang Yi was a little more courageous than Shang Hai, "I think the dignified Gu family should not be so narrow-minded, and care about petty citizens like us!"

"Then you have misunderstood me." Gu Ci smiled back, "Miss Shang, you may not know that I have never been a good person, and you have entered the police station now, do you still think that I am just a police officer? Is it just a joke? Isn’t it too stupid to say that.”

Shang Yi's expression changed, he didn't know whether he was angry or because he was afraid, but he didn't know how to reply.

"I advise you to tell everything, don't be self-righteous and think that I dare not touch you." Gu Ci showed an indifferent smile, revealing a slight chill from it, "You know, I can do it."

Shang Yi couldn't help but took a few steps back, her face full of horror.

Gu Ci didn't intend to let her go just yet, and kept pressing her step by step: "Even if there is no police, people who have offended the Gu family, do you think they can really live in this city well? Do you think..."

"Don't talk about it." Shang Hai finally couldn't help it, and reached out to help his sister, "We don't want to, my mother is sick, we just want to save her..."

Shang Hai's tears rolled in his eyes, but Gu Ci couldn't be moved. He was not in the mood to sympathize with someone who wanted to harm him.

Han Nuoshang frowned: "Who is that person?"

Only then did Shang Yi calm down. After all, she was still afraid of Gu Ci and the Gu family behind him. In this situation, let alone begging for money, it would be good if she could live on.

"He came to us first." Shang Yi pinched his hand and forced himself to calm down. "He was wearing a sun hat and mask, we couldn't see his appearance clearly..."

"There is 10 yuan in it. As long as you do what I say, it will all be yours." The man pushed a wad of money in front of the two of them.

Shang Hai: "Are you really all right?"

Shang Yi: "But if we do this, if someone finds out, we won't have any good fruit to eat."

"Do you think the police are really that smart?" The man rolled his eyes, as if he was smiling at the two of them, "Don't worry, nothing will happen, they won't find you."

"But……"

Shang Yi was still worried, but the attraction of the money was too great for her.

"Believe me, nothing will happen, and this money can be given to you first, and I will give you the same amount after it is done... You just need to do me a small favor."

"Well!"

"It's because of money again!" Gu Ci knocked on the table with his hand, "Your mother's life is your life, so is it not for others? Have you ever thought that some people may be because of these things you wrote, plus As a reporter, you should know a lot about this kind of thing, right?”

Shang Yi's face instantly turned pale.

"All of you may become murderers because of this, murderers who don't have to bear too much legal responsibility." Gu Ci sneered, "Do you know how much a human life is?"

Han Nuoshang looked at Gu Ci with a frown, he was a little too aggressive today.

"I..." Both Shang Hai and Shang Yi were frightened by such Gu Ci, terrified and overwhelmed. "We... this is the first time... and there is no..."

The emotions of the two Shang Yi brothers and sisters are a little close to the critical point of collapse, and Gu Ci's gaze is like a net, and there is nowhere to escape.

"If there is a first time, there will be a second time. People's hearts will always..."

"Gu Ci." Han Nuoshang interrupted what he wanted to continue saying, "Enough is enough, stop talking."

Gu Ci was stunned for a moment, he also knew that he had gone too far, so he closed his voice and turned around to prepare to leave.

Yi Ming quickly called out to him: "Mr. Gu, what are you going to do about it?"

Gu Ci paused, and waved his back to him: "You can figure it out yourself."

Yi Ming looked at the back of him leaving, and was a little puzzled, what should he do?

... entangled ...

"Leave them alone, I'll take care of these two people."

Han Nuoshang glanced at the two people who were huddled in the corner, he was indeed terrified by Gu Ci.

Yi Ming nodded. It's good not to have him deal with it. After all, the boss's mind is hard to guess! If you don't do well, you will only be the one who is sad.

"Team Han, then I'll go back to the company first."

on the roof--

"I knew you were here." Han Nuoshang came over with two boxes of milk, "Milk, do you want to drink?"

Gu Ci took the milk in his hand and put it aside, silently watching the flow of people in the distance, but he didn't speak, he didn't know what he was thinking.

"You are a little unstable today, why?"

There was only silence to answer him, and Gu Ci didn't move at all, as if he didn't notice his existence at all.

Okay! Don't talk, right?

Han Nuoshang also sat down beside him, looking into the distance from the same angle.

Having known Gu Ci for so long, Han Nuoshang has figured out some of his personality. Many times when Gu Ci doesn't want to talk, it's best not to think about what can be said to attract his attention.

Just like what Han Nuoshang is doing now, without saying or doing anything, after staying by his side for a while, Gu Ci will speak up by himself, because someone disturbs his self-world, he will feel very uncomfortable comfortable.

"Have you finished handling your own affairs?"

Han Nuoshang hooked the corner of his mouth, and Xiao Yu'er hooked it.

"It's not finished! But my partner disappeared, and I don't know what to do by myself."

"..." Gu Ci was suddenly speechless, his eyes dimmed, and he suddenly replied, "You can actually be a partner with others."

Han Nuoshang frowned, feeling uncomfortable no matter what he said: "What's the matter with you?"

"You think too much, what can I do?"

Han Nuoshang was even more furious: "Is there anything I can't tell? I have to hide it in my heart and suppress it by myself."

There was another period of silence, and after a long time, Gu Ci sighed, "Why bother! I have never been a good partner or teammate, and I might lose control someday..."

Han Nuoshang retreated from the fence, just when Gu Ci thought he was going to leave, he suddenly pulled Gu Ci off, pushed him to the ground, and looked down at him.

"Are you so interesting?"

Gu Ci turned his head slightly, not to look at his face, but Han Nuoshang refused to let him do what he wanted, and forced his face to look at him.

"What on earth are you thinking? This keeps everyone isolated from their own world."

"I do not have."

"No?" Han Nuoshang sneered, "Do you believe it yourself?"

"..."

"You can't keep locking yourself up like this. There are still many people or things worthy of your attention in this world. Haven't you ever thought about getting out of the past and starting over?" He had long wanted to say these words to Gu Ci, but Never had a chance.

"..."

Gu Ci still didn't say anything, Han Nuoshang suddenly felt very boring, finally let go of him, stood up, looked at the man lying on the ground, and stretched out his hand towards him.

Gu Ci looked at his slender fingers for a while, stretched out his hand to grab them, and stood up with his strength.

"Everyone in the criminal investigation team has their own partners, and I can't do anything to break them up." Han Nuoshang glanced at him.

Gu Ci reached out and patted his clothes, and looked at him with some complaints.

Looking at the dust-stained windbreaker behind him, Han Nuoshang couldn't help curling the corners of his mouth, and stretched out his hand to pat him.

"Stop talking about these things in the future, I don't want to hear them."

He didn't want to see Gu Ci in such a self-defeating state, as if he would disappear at any time, if the same thing happened to Qi Zhao again, Han Nuoshang was really worried that he would go crazy.

"Let's go, everyone is waiting for your meeting!"

Bai Yinchen performed a second autopsy on Yang Song and found something special in his stomach.

"Remember what the deputy team told us yesterday?" Bai Yinchen held the autopsy report in his hand, with some inexplicable emotions flickering in his eyes.

Lin Chenyi flipped through the autopsy report and asked, "The deputy team said a lot yesterday, I don't know which sentence you are referring to?"

"Didn't we go to Yu Lian yesterday! The deputy team said that we should try Yu Lian's new dishes." Bai Yinchen winked at everyone, "And in the stomach of the deceased, this dish that hasn't disappeared yet was found. "

Han Nuoshang couldn't help frowning, another clue related to Gu Ci, what exactly does this murderer want to do?

"By the way, the forensics department also sent us a message." Lin Chenyi quickly tapped the computer a few times with his hand, "They said that a large amount of ammonium nitrate was found in the collected water samples."

"Ammonium nitrate? What is it?" Song Zhiyue was puzzled, feeling a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.

Han Nuoshang reached out and knocked her on the head: "Ammonium nitrate is a chemical reagent, and it will absorb a lot of heat when dissolved in water. I must have not paid attention to the high school chemistry class."

Song Zhiyue suddenly realized that she had seen it in a textbook, no wonder she felt familiar.

"It means that the mystery of the frozen water in the pavilion has been solved." Chu Han nodded half-understanding, "Then how did Yang Song's body sink to the bottom of the water?"

The density of the human body is lower than that of water. In the case of death, the corpse will at least float in the upper middle area, and it is impossible to sink back to the bottom of the water.

"You guys forgot about that fishing line." Han Nuoshang looked up at everyone, "There are a lot of coral rocks at the bottom of the carp house, all of which are extremely hard. A corpse that has lost its ability to move is wrapped around a fishing line." It shouldn't be difficult to pull the coral stone fishing line down."

As Han Nuoshang spoke, he made a stretching motion towards everyone.

Hua Xiaolu was surprised: "Is a fishing line so tough?"

"When you found it, it was still intact." Gu Ci raised his eyes and glanced at Han Nuoshang, "And I want to know if this guess is right, just ask someone to go back to the scene and search for it. I want to be embedded in ice. The murderer should have no way to recover the fishing line."

After all, the police sent a lot of people there to guard it!

Han Nuoshang nodded, agreeing with what he said, the phone vibrated suddenly, and he took it out to take a look.

"The clues I have found now are all from the deputy team..." Ying Hongxue paused for a while, "I think this person should be very familiar with your life as the deputy team, and has even been in contact with you, but you have never noticed it, or you I don't think he is the one who will hurt you."

Gu Ci frowned. After returning to China, he knew so many people, but he didn't seem to have any impression of people who were similar to the murderer.

"Chu Han and Zhiyue take people to the scene to check. Chen Yi, go and check who Yang Song has been in contact with. The mobile phones of the Yang Shu couple and Shang Yi's siblings are all on your desktop now. You go there now." Look it up carefully, Hongxue, based on the information you have now, speculate about the murderer's psychology." Han Nuoshang thought for a while, "Old Sister Baihua, please continue to study Yang Song's corpse."

Everyone nodded, knowing that Han Nuoshang meant to send them away, and they all left tactfully.

Han Nuoshang looked at Gu Ci with his chin propped up, with a trace of inquiry in his eyes.

Gu Ci returned the same gaze without fear, without any timidity, although he didn't understand what Han Nuoshang meant.

"Is there anything else you haven't said?" Han Nuoshang was finally defeated and was the first to start the conversation.

Having just received a message from Ying Hongxue, she felt that Gu Ci should know something, but she didn't say it.

"Yes." Gu Ci sighed, "I would suddenly leave the hospital and go back to the villa that day, it was not a sudden idea."

Han Nuoshang couldn't help frowning, with a hint of worry in his brows.

"A nurse showed me a picture."

At that time, Gu Ci had just woken up for a while when the nurse walked in.

"Sir, you're awake! Are you feeling all right?"

Gu Ci just shook his head, feeling heavy in his head, very tired...

"Oh, yes, the photo you want." The nurse took out a photo from her pocket.

On the photo is a fish tank, and underneath is a photo with a frame. The person in the photo is Gu Ci when he was a child.

Gu Cishuang opened his eyes, and hurriedly asked the nurse where the photo came from.

"A gentleman sent it over just now. He said that you ordered him to do it before, but there are too many people guarding your ward..."

Gu Ci didn't hear what the nurse said afterwards, so he woke up for a few minutes, then fell into a coma, and was discharged from the hospital when he woke up for the second time.

"The fish tank in the photo is the fish tank in the Gu family's villa. I won't admit it wrong, and that photo was taken secretly. I didn't take a photo after I was ten years old."

It was a photo of him entering and leaving the cemetery when he was 11 years old.

"You went back to the villa to find that photo? Did you find it?"

Gu Ci nodded.

"Aren't you afraid that the murderer is waiting for you in the villa?"

Gu Ci still shook his head, he was really not afraid, if possible, he really hoped that the murderer was in the villa, so he could avenge himself.

"..." Han Nuoshang opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

This person has such a personality, otherwise, how could he risk himself and turn Qi Zhao and himself into that appearance.

"Why didn't you tell me later?" Han Nuoshang suppressed his emotions about to go berserk.

"Why did I tell you?" Gu Ci turned his head and looked at him suspiciously, "There is no need for that."

"There is no need for this..." Han Nuoshang gritted his teeth, "Gu Ci, you have explained clearly to me, what does it mean that there is no need?"

I can't imagine how Gu Ci felt when he saw Yang Song's body sunk in the water in the museum.

"..." Gu Ci inexplicably felt a little guilty.

"Where's the photo? Where are you now?" Han Nuoshang's eyes dimmed, and the anger that disappeared just now rose again.

"In the mezzanine behind the picture I brought back."

Han Nuoshang nodded, okay, he hasn't noticed anything yet, is it because his insight has become low, or Gu Ci's morality is too high.

"I'll go back with you now and show me the photo."

Gu Ci looked at him and nodded. Whatever you want, you can do whatever you want. Now that you've been discovered, there's nothing to hide, and...he's really a bit shy.
