riddle

Lan Yan is in her 40s this year and unmarried. Due to her well-maintained appearance, she looks only in her 30s. She usually has a high prestige in the Gu family. After all, she is considered a veteran of the Gu family.

When Gu Qiyu was still there, she was a member of the company, and she was loyal to Gu Qiyu. What changed her?

Han Nuoshang and Gu Ci came downstairs to Lan Yan's house.

According to the information obtained by Lin Chenyi, Lan Yan asked for leave today due to illness, and should be resting at home now.

Gu Ci didn't know what kind of mood he was in, and knocked on the door of her house.

"Mr. Gu, why are you here?"

When Lan Yan saw Gu Ci, her face was visibly stiff, but she soon recovered, and smiled gently at the two of them.

It's a pity that Gu Ci is not willing to accept her warm card: "Aunt Lan, don't say you don't know why I came to you. You are like a mirror in your heart, so there is no need to play sloppy with me like this."

Lan Yan put away a smile, walked out of the room, and closed the door: "It's not convenient at home, let's talk in the coffee shop downstairs."

Gu Ci nodded, it doesn't matter.

"Mr. Gu, I don't understand what you mean just now." Lan Yan drank a cup of coffee gracefully, the warmth in her eyes had dissipated quite a bit.

Gu Ci smiled: "You don't know what happened yesterday?"

"I was in the company yesterday, and today I took sick leave because I was unwell, and I didn't have much time to pay attention to major events..."

"Wu Qi has already admitted it." Gu Ci interrupted her nonsense, "It's meaningless for you to argue any longer, why bother!"

Han Nuoshang didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, but just observed Lan Yan's performance from the sidelines.

Since everything was explained by Gu Ci, there is no need to continue acting, the warmth in Lan Yan's eyes completely disappeared without a trace.

"You have no evidence. I can say that Wu Qi is slandering me. If you find evidence, you can take me back at any time. I have nothing to say."

Lan Yan still has this confidence. After all, the place where she met Wu Qi was not monitored, and no one knew that they had met before. He did not believe that Gu Ci had the ability to bring her down.

"I didn't come here to catch you." Gu Ci didn't raise his eyelids, picked up the coffee and wondered why Han Nuoshang didn't stop him, "I just want to know why? Why did you do this?"

"Why? It's ridiculous for you to ask me why."

Lan Yan stood up from her seat and looked down at Gu Ci, but Gu Ci's aura may be so strong by nature, in terms of aura, the sitting Gu Ci is obviously better than her.

"How many years have I worked hard for the Gu family, and all my youth and glory have been thrown on the Gu family, but in the end? What have I got?" Lan Yan said coldly, "I have nothing, can you tell me what's wrong with me?" For what reason?"

"Your current food and clothing expenses are all because of Gu." Gu Ci raised his eyes and glanced at her.

"This is what I deserve, no! I shouldn't get only these, why can you get everything without doing anything? Just because you are Gu Qiyu's son?"

Gu Ci didn't speak, and took a sip of coffee.

"..." He looked into Han Nuoshang's eyes meaningfully, and finally knew why he didn't stop him.

Usually coffee is made with milk, but when it comes to Gu Ci, it is milk made into coffee. There is no coffee flavor, and some are milk flavored with added sugar.

Lan Yan originally wanted to continue, but Gu Ci's lukewarm attitude blocked all her complaints.

He stamped his feet unwillingly, grabbed his bag and wanted to turn around and leave.

"You weren't like this before." Gu Ci said something aloud.

"Today is different from the past... Aren't you the same child as before!" After speaking, he ran away as if fleeing.

Gu Ci looked at her leaving figure, and thought about the question she just said. What he had was not only what Gu Qiyu left him, but also the help of Uncle Huang. He also had sacrifices, but Lan Yan Did not see it.

Han Nuoshang: "She's a bit strange."

Gu Ci: "Huh?"

"She was dressed neatly even though she was at home, and she seemed to have dressed up on purpose." Han Nuoshang recalled all the things just now, "When we were in front of her house just now, she subconsciously blocked us from the door...she There should be guests at home, and they are more important guests to her."

"No matter who it is, she just doesn't want us to know."

Gu Ci lowered his eyes, Lan Yan was right, he was no longer who he used to be, so what qualifications do he have to ask others to stay the same!

The two spent an afternoon tea time in the cafe, and then they were called back to the police station by a phone call from Lin Chenyi.

"Look, this person." Lin Chenyi circled the figure on the surveillance camera, "Although the face cannot be seen clearly, after comparison, there is a 70.00% chance that it is Lan Yan herself."

This was the surveillance near the Maritime Museum on the day Yang Song was killed. Lan Yan, who suddenly attacked Gu Ci, also appeared near the crime scene, which is a bit too coincidental.

Han Nuoshang never believed that there were so many coincidences in this world, and there was definitely something wrong with Lan Yan.

Chu Han walked in from the outside, holding an evidence bag in his hand.

"Didn't someone search carefully in the carp restaurant before, hey! This is what I found this morning."

Inside the evidence bag was a long piece of fishing line, which also proved Han Nuoshang's conjecture that the murderer did use this fishing line to get Yang Song's body into the bottom of the water.

Ying Hongxue: "So should we bring Lan Yan back now to assist in the investigation?"

Before Han Nuoshang answered, the phone at Lin Chenyi's position rang again.

Putting down the phone, Lin Chenyi looked up at Han Nuoshang: "We don't need to ask her to come back to assist in the investigation, we can go directly to her."

Lin Chenyi just received the call that Lan Yan died in her own home, and the death condition was the same as that of Yang Song before.

Gu Ci said softly: "We just met her."

Han Nuoshang couldn't help frowning, suddenly remembering the mysterious guest in her family.

"Let's go, call Laobai and Sister Hua, and go to the scene first."

Lan Yan died in her own fish tank, and the water and fish in the fish tank, plus a corpse, were all frozen together.

Gu Ci glanced at it and couldn't help turning his head away. Although he was really disappointed with Lan Yan, but no matter what, she was someone he had known before, and she had left a good memory in his memory. side of...

"I'll take a look at her bedroom." Gu Ci hurriedly said something to Han Nuoshang, before turning and leaving without waiting for his response.

Han Nuoshang could understand his mood and didn't say anything.

"Talk about what's the point of buying such a big fish tank, and you ended up dying in it." Bai Yinchen knocked on the glass wall of the fish tank, and was trying to get Lan Yan out of it with Hua Xiaolu.

The fish tank in the living room of Lan Yan's house is just enough for a person to lie flat. Just press down the body lightly and immerse it in the ice, which is much more convenient than the carp house.

It's just that it's easy to put a corpse on ice, but it's not easy to drown a person in a fish tank. There are no traces of cleaning on the floor, and it doesn't look like someone fought here.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the door of the bathroom was ajar. Han Nuoshang walked over there and pushed the door open.

The bathroom looked much more chaotic than the outside. The cosmetics on the sink were staggered, and a large part fell to the floor. This was the first scene.

Han Nuoshang backed out cautiously, and let the people from the forensics department go in first to collect the evidence.

Turning his head to look in the direction of Lan Yan's bedroom, Gu Ci didn't know what he was doing, and there was no movement at all after staying in it for so long.

Thinking about it, he walked over involuntarily, and pushed open the door - Gu Ci was squatting on the ground with his back facing him, as if he was laying out something.

Han Nuoshang frowned, and walked over... Gu Ci was arranging photos of his father one by one.

"How is this going?"

Gu Ci was also speechless, put down the last photo and sat cross-legged, "Lan Yan, she seems to have an almost obsessive love for my father."

From Gu Qiyu's 20 years old until his accident, there are photos of each time period, and behind each photo are Lan Yan's handwritten greetings and some love words.

Lan Yan has always been in love with Gu Qiyu, but it's a pity that the only person Gu Qiyu loves is Gu Ci's mother.

"There are still some letters and diaries in the drawer, all of which are her obsession with my father!" Gu Ci sighed, looking at the photos on the floor, "In this case, it's not surprising that she hates me."

After all, he is the child of Gu Qiyu and Xie Zimo, the son of the man she loves and another woman.

"But your mother and father really love each other, and they are also a legal couple. Her situation can only be said to be too much jealousy."

After Han Nuoshang finished speaking, he rummaged in the dressing cabinet, and found a stack of fishing lines from the cabinet, which seemed to be the same style as those found on Liyuguan and Yang Song.

"It seems that she is indeed related to Yang Song's death. Your parents are very good people. No matter what the reason is for Lan Yan, she has done too much."

"Who said it wasn't." Gu Ci suddenly became indifferent, no matter what Lan Yan did to him or her death, "After the case is over, can I have these photos?"

Han Nuoshang smiled at him: "These should belong to you."

"Boss, the outside is almost done, are you all ready?" Song Zhiyue lay at the door and looked at the two of them.

Gu Ci also put together those photos, and even got out the letters and diaries in the drawer, and put them in evidence bags.

"I always feel that it will become more and more unbalanced recently." Gu Ci sighed, "It's really annoying enough to put all kinds of things together."

Han Nuoshang: "It's okay, as you said - the soldiers came to cover the water and earth."

Gu Ci stood at the door and looked back at him, the two looked at each other and smiled.

The fishing line that Han Nuoshang brought back was sent to the forensics department for testing, and it was indeed the same kind of fishing line.

Han Nuoshang: "Now we can be sure that the case of Yang Song's murder was written by Lan Yan, but I don't know how much she participated in, or she did everything."

"I learned from Yang Song's colleagues before that Yang Song seems to have a girlfriend, a very rich one." Song Zhiyue paused, and continued, "Lan Yan is probably what they said, Yang Song's girlfriend." girlfriend."

Although there is a big age difference between the two, Lan Yan is well maintained and knows how to put on makeup, while Yang Song is seeking money, so it is normal for the two to get together.

"I have checked the surveillance in the community, and there is indeed a person who has entered and exited the building of Lan Yan's house." Lin Chenyi paused, and continued, "But there is no surveillance in the corridor, and that person has been wearing a mask and Sun hat, there is no way to confirm his true face."

"Lan Yan died by drowning. The impurities found in her lungs are consistent with the samples taken from the wash basin in her bathroom." Bai Yinchen handed over the autopsy report to everyone.

Hua Xiaolu: "The time of death of the deceased was between [-] am and [-] pm. A large amount of ammonium nitrate was also found in the water of the fish tank."

"The time of death can be more precise." Han Nuoshang said, "Lan Yan separated from us in the cafe at twelve o'clock."

That is to say, when they were still having afternoon tea in the cafe, the god of death was quietly approaching Lan Yan.

"She probably never thought that she killed Yang Song in this way, and she died in the same way in the end." Ying Hongxue knocked on the table, "Is this called karma!"

Ying Hongxue also studied her diaries and letters taken out of Lan Yan's house. Lan Yan is not just obsessed with Gu Qiyu.

If Gu Zongyu and his wife were still alive now, she might have done some extreme things long ago, instead of doing it now.

Lan Yan's psychology has already developed towards a pathological direction...

"Lan Yan is dead, the Gu family must be in trouble." Gu Ci rubbed his temples, feeling a little tired.

"I don't know if Gu Shima is in trouble, but I know you are going to be in trouble."

Everyone looked up at the door together, and Bureau Qin stood there upright.

Gu Ci looked at him suspiciously: "What trouble do I have?"

"Go online and see for yourself."

Bureau Qin waved his hand helplessly, everyone was slightly taken aback, and two seconds later they all took out their phones and computers.

Only then did they know that while they were still analyzing the case, all kinds of rumors about Gu Ci were spreading all over the Internet - this time it was about him forcing Lan Yan to death.

I don't know who spread the news of Lan Yan's death, and the photos of them meeting Lan Yan in the cafe were also released.

This time, the public opinion on the Internet is not as easy to control as the last two times. New headlines are constantly being posted, and they can't be withdrawn all the time.

Because no one knew the cause of Lan Yan's death, those people with big brains began to imagine their own boundless imagination.

Chu Han: "The post I read said that Lan Yan committed suicide because the deputy team threatened her and she refused to die, so she committed suicide."

For the first time, Chu Han felt that there are so many strange things in this world. Lan Yan is an average-looking aunt in her 40s, and Gu Ci is a handsome guy in his early twenties. He can attract a large group of beauties with just a few fingers. They are intimidating. !

"You're okay!" Lin Chenyi said, "I see that the deputy team abandoned Lan Yan from beginning to end. That's why she committed suicide."

When Lin Chenyi saw this post, he finally felt the indescribable taste of a dumb man eating Coptis chinensis again.

"What you're looking at is suicide, but what I'm looking at is murder." Ying Hongxue narrowed her eyes slightly, with a hint of danger in her eyes. killed."

Song Zhiyue also frowned tightly, "What is this all about? How can those people keep talking nonsense without distinguishing between black and white."

"Isn't it obvious." Han Nuoshang took a deep breath, "Someone is manipulating public opinion behind the scenes, and this person is the murderer."

"And most of the people on the Internet are still watching the excitement, and no one will care about the facts." Bai Yinchen paused. "What's more, there are still people who are fueling the flames. They will only be more excited to watch."

"I don't know what's going on with you now." Director Qin uttered his voice again to attract everyone's attention, "But the higher-ups have already been alarmed, and they called just now to inquire."

"What did they say?"

Gu Ci wasn't in a hurry at all, when he heard the malicious speculation they said on the Internet just now, it was more like listening to other people's stories.

"They..." Qin Bureau hesitated, considering his own words, "They hope you can take a good rest for a while..."

"Actually, it's a suspension investigation, right?" Gu Ci interrupted him directly, and said it neatly.

Everyone turned their heads to look at Bureau Qin with a swish, and saw him nodding his head. They were all shocked, as if they couldn't believe it.

"Don't, it's obviously not about the deputy team's business." Lin Chenyi was the first to come over anyway, "Give me time, I will definitely deal with those nonsense people, okay?"

"This is something that has been decided by the superiors, and I have no way to change it." Qin Bureau was helpless, and he didn't want to do this either.

"In this special period..." Han Nuoshang didn't know what to say.

Gu Ci: "It's okay, it's just a suspension, just treat it as a vacation."

"But this is too unfair to you, and it is very likely to cause great trouble to your life..." Lin Chenyi frowned, "Why don't I find a way to delete all those messy things."

"No need!" Gu Ci still rejected his kindness, "Let those things continue to ferment like this, it just so happens that the Gu family should also change their blood."

On the one hand, these rumors and public opinions are troublesome for him, but on the other hand, they are also a good opportunity for him to clean up the company.

"It's been a long time since I've been back and I haven't dealt with the affairs of the company properly, so it's time to move."

Although Han Nuoshang was worried, he didn't say anything to him after all: "If you need anything, just contact us."

Gu Ci nodded, yes.
