Mystery Pursuit

Wu Yuzhou retreated to the door, bent down and took a closer look at the door lock. Before he got up, Yu Ye came over with his arms hanging, "I checked, and there is no sign of prying on the door lock. I can't climb in through the windows on the eighteenth floor, and there are no signs by the windows." Prying marks and shoe prints, strong smell of gas, looks like suicide."

Wu Yuzhou turned his head and looked at the stacked corpses again, "Why do suicides need to be stacked together? Wouldn't it be better to lie quietly on the bed and die?"

Yu Ye frowned, "This is really strange, but Xiao Wu has checked the room inside and out, and there is no trace of outsiders' intrusion."

Wu Yuzhou walked indoors, "I'll take another look."

At this time, Cheng Xiaolu came over with a laptop in her arms, "Boss, after entering the information of the informant, do you still need to take him back to the bureau?"

"What about the reporter?" Yu Ye asked.

"The name of the deceased man was Liang Hong. He worked as a manager in an insurance company. The reporter was a colleague of Liang Hong. The two of them were going on a business trip this morning. The reporter was waiting for Liang Hong to pick him up at home according to the agreed time. As a result, Liang Hong had been waiting for a long time. He didn't go, and he didn't answer the phone calls. The two lived not far away. The reporter came directly to Liang Hong's house. No one opened the door. He could smell gas at the door. He was afraid of accidents, so he hurriedly asked the company's HR to come. Liang Hong The phone number of the emergency contact, but Liang Hong left his wife’s phone number in the company information, the reporter called, but Liang Hong’s wife’s phone was not answered, so he called the police in a hurry.”

Yu Ye nodded, "Tell him to go back for now, and ask him to go to the bureau if there is a situation."

"Okay, by the way, boss, the information of the deceased's family has also been found out. Liang Hong is 43 years old and currently works as a manager in an insurance company. His wife is Yu Qiufen, who is [-] years old and runs a pharmacy nearby. Both of them were divorced before. , Eight years ago, they re-formed their family. After marriage, they had a daughter named Liang Shanshan, who is seven years old this year.

Liang Hong and his ex-wife have a daughter, and Yu Qiufen and her ex-husband have a son, who is raised by the husband. Now he is in high school, and occasionally lives in Liang's house. The relationship with Liang Hong is quite harmonious. So far, I only know this. "

Yu Ye said: "Wait, you and Xiao Wu will investigate the relationship between the husband and wife, and focus on asking if there was anything unusual about the two of them before they were alive, such as whether they left a will for their relatives."

After Cheng Xiaolu led the task and left, Wu Yuzhou said: "Liang Hong made an appointment with his colleagues yesterday for a business trip, and suddenly turned on the gas this morning to kill himself. It doesn't make sense."

"Maybe Yu Qiufen turned on the gas."

"Yu Qiufen's body is at the bottom. It's impossible for her alone to tie Liang Hong up." Wu Yuzhou said as he put on his gloves and walked into the kitchen closest to him. He opened the lid of the rice cooker with the heat preservation green light on, and the aroma of rice porridge came to his face, and the porridge at the bottom of the pot was very thick when the aroma dissipated. There were two boxes of porridge side dishes and children's milk in the refrigerator.

After leaving the kitchen, he turned into the master bedroom. The clothes in the closet were neat and orderly. There was a small black suitcase next to the closet. After unzipping the suitcase, there were clothes, toiletries and a laptop inside.

Wu Yuzhou reached out his hand to touch the clothes drying on the balcony. It was slightly damp. He went to the children's room in the second bedroom. The homework books were placed on the desk. Among the crooked words, errors were marked with a red pen.

Yu Ye followed Wu Yuzhou and walked around the room. When he reached the last second bedroom, he didn't go in. He leaned on the door frame to see Wu Yuzhou was busy. I had breakfast because I was afraid that Liang Hong would not be in time to catch the plane in the morning. Liang Hong’s suitcase was neatly packed, which means he was ready for a business trip last night.”

Wu Yuzhou straightened his back and looked away from the desk, "There is an annotation time in the homework book, the last one was left last night, annotating the homework for the child, preparing breakfast for the husband, these behaviors are not suicidal.

Liang Hong was the same, his suitcase was packed early, which means he was ready to go on a business trip this morning, and no suicide note was found in the room. Two people who showed no signs of suicide died at home due to gas poisoning, and their bodies were piled up again. It was very strange. It's not like suicide. "

Yu Ye: "Well, I gradually realized something was wrong, but I checked the elevator monitoring, and no one came to the eighteenth floor after midnight last night."

"In order to avoid monitoring, the murderer may climb the fire exit. This kind of thing has happened before."

"Even if he is afraid of going up the stairs and avoids the monitoring, but the door is locked, how can he enter the house?" Yu Ye paused for a moment, and the next second they almost said in unison: "Acquaintances committed the crime."

As soon as the words fell, colleagues from the laboratory department came over and said, "Team Yu, I have a situation to tell you. There is no fingerprint on the desk, wardrobe and tea table in the room. Someone should have wiped it. The beams were extracted from the sheets in the master bedroom and the clothes in the cabinet. The fingerprints of Hong and his wife, but this time the bed sheet was newly changed, there was nothing on it, and the surface of the table had been wiped, we searched for a long time and found no fingerprints."

"You mean that apart from the master bedroom, the living room and the second bedroom have been treated by someone."

"Well, that's it."

Wu Yuzhou and Yu Ye looked at each other, and instantly read each other's thoughts from each other's eyes. The murderer wiped off the traces of the living room, indicating that he had stayed in these two places before, and wiped these two places away for fear of revealing his fingerprints. It was probably an acquaintance sleeping in the second bedroom of Liang Hong's house.

With this clue, Yu Ye quickly arranged the next work plan, focusing on checking the people around Liang Hong. After two days of visits, the results were obtained.

Liang Hong's parents have passed away. Through interviews with his relatives and friends, he learned that Liang Hong and his ex-wife were each other's first love. From high school to university, to entering society and marriage, the relationship between the two is very stable, and they are the envy of friends.

In the second year after marriage, Liang Hong's wife gave birth to a daughter. The new life quickly became the treasure of the family.

One evening when the child was five years old, he went to the vegetable market with his grandma to buy vegetables. The market was crowded with people, and the grandma didn't keep watch, and the child was lost.

This incident brought a heavy blow to the happy family. Liang Hong couldn't accept the reality that his daughter was lost for a while, and in desperation, he said some nasty things to his mother-in-law.

The child was brought up by the mother-in-law, and the relationship between the mother-in-law and the child was no worse than that of Liang Hong and his wife. She blamed herself more than anyone else for losing the child, and was scolded by Liang Hong to make matters worse.

The death of the mother-in-law completely shattered the family. The ex-wife lost her daughter and lost her mother. The two consecutive blows caused her to suffer from severe depression. She believed that Liang Hong had forced her mother to death. way to go back in time.

After more than ten years of companionship, the relationship between the two has long surpassed love. Even after going through such a thing, they did not mention divorce. The two began to sleep in separate rooms, communicating less and less, and became strangers living in the same room. After a year passed, Liang Hong's wife finally couldn't take it anymore and filed for divorce.

The year of being strangers was the last thing the two did for more than ten years of relationship. They both worked hard for each other, but there was a rift in writing, they could not go back to the past, and finally separated peacefully.

Regarding the lost daughter, they did not give up. They searched everywhere, even reported to the police on the news. They tried everything they could think of, but in the end, there was no result. As the days go forward, no one can stay in the same place forever because of this lost child. Not moving, and later Liang Hong got acquainted with Yu Qiufen and started a new life. His ex-wife was not in a good state of mind because of the excitement of the incident back then, so she didn't find a new partner and lived alone all the time.

In Liang Hong's experience, an important clue appeared - the missing child. The murderers in the previous cases all had the experience of being abducted in childhood. Liang Hong's lost daughter should be an adult now, and she is very likely to be related to the case. .

Liang Hong's ex-wife was thin, pale, and looked older than her peers. She did not show any sadness at the news of Liang Hong's death, as if she was a stranger who had nothing to do with her. When asked whether her daughter would come back, she denied it.

She was very polite to the police, but because she was silent and she hadn't contacted Liang Hong for many years, she could provide very little information. She was unwilling to talk about her daughter's affairs in depth. Crying, depression is like an invisible hand, dragging her into the darkness step by step. Whenever she thinks of her daughter and mother, she can't stop crying, and when she is tired from crying, she will have suicidal thoughts.

She broke down and cried, which frightened the criminal police who had just joined the work. The experienced criminal police knew that she had depression, so they didn't ask any more questions. They watched her take antidepressant drugs and left after her mood stabilized. .

During the interviews with other people, Yu Qiufen's younger sister provided an important clue. Liang Qing, the daughter of Liang Hong and his ex-wife half a year ago, suddenly came back to find Liang Hong's old house. After the divorce, the house was sold. He got Liang Hong's mobile phone number and met his father.

Liang Hong was very happy when he found it again, and immediately took Liang Qing back to his home, and Liang Qing was arranged to live in Liang Shanshan's room.

Liang Qing was an acquaintance living in the second bedroom of Liang Hong's house, and she had a lost experience. These two points quickly made her an important suspect.

Finding Liang Qing is very important, Yu Ye stepped up the police force to look for Liang Qing everywhere, but Liang Qing seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, never to be found.

The days of searching for Liang Qing passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival, Wu Yuzhou brothers and sisters became the objects of everyone's invitations. Zhang Miao, Wu Weiguo, and Yu Ye have all invited him to their home for the New Year. And Maodou, going to other people's homes would always cause a lot of trouble, so he refused them one by one, and planned to take Maodou and his sister to live at home.

Zhou Qilu's experience made her more mature than her peers. Ever since Nian Gen took over a new case, Wu Yuzhou often worked overtime and sometimes slept directly in the police station. She had no time to take care of her and Maodou. Instead of complaining, Zhou Qilu became a sister, Take care of Maodou's diet and daily life, and silently help Wu Yuzhou share the burden.

During the Spring Festival holiday, Wu Yuzhou, who had been working continuously for several days, took a breather. On the day of New Year’s Eve, he slept until ten o’clock in the morning. When he woke up, Zhou Qilu and Maodou were not at home. The kitchen specially left gruel and buns for him. Simple Wu Yuzhou's heart-warming breakfast was very heartwarming.

After Yu Weiwei stepped into the entertainment circle, she was busy with work and often didn't come back. Yu's family spent the Spring Festival very deserted. This year, Yu Ye met with friends, and Cui Jinhua was happy. In addition, she knew something about Wu Yuzhou's family, and was afraid that he would be lonely during the New Year. Cui Jinhua He told Yu Ye to invite Wu Yuzhou to celebrate the New Year together.

After Wu Yuzhou expressed his attitude towards the Spring Festival, Yu Ye respected his choice not to mention it again, but he couldn't resist his mother's nagging, "He can't even cook, how can he bring two children to celebrate the New Year by himself? Does he still eat quick-frozen dumplings during the New Year?

It has not been easy for the two of you for so many years. Now that you are reconciled, you have to take responsibility. His sister is also your sister and our family. Do you have the heart to watch them eat quick-frozen dumplings at home?

He couldn't tell, maybe he was embarrassed, you can ask again, don't act like you have no intentions, if you really don't want to come, then I will make dumplings for them and you will send them over.

It would be best if you could invite her over. When your sister comes back tonight, we have a lot of fun celebrating the New Year together. Hurry up and don’t come back if someone can’t bring you back. "

After finishing speaking, the old lady quickly hid the dumpling stuffing, jingling and ignoring Yu Ye.

Yu Ye wanted to respect Wu Yuzhou's ideas, but when his mother said this, thinking of Wu Yuzhou's cooking skills, he hesitated for a moment, put on his coat and took a taxi to Wu Yuzhou's house.

At the end of the year, it officially entered the cold winter, and the weather was very cold, and taxis could not enter the community. Yu Ye got off from the gate of the community and walked quickly to Wu Yuzhou's house. From a distance, he saw the backs of Zhou Qilu and Maodou. Zhou Qilu didn't know what to do next to his legs, the road under his feet was slippery, he didn't stand firmly when he got up, and knelt down on the ground, Zhou Qilu ignored him, and slightly turned to put the other leg in front of Maodou.

Yu Ye didn't know what the two were doing, so he walked quickly, "Why don't you go upstairs? Are you two cold?"

Zhou Qilu immediately withdrew her legs and smiled when she heard the sound, "Brother Yu Ye."

Maodou also called brother, then wanted to get up, and groped on the ground for a while, but couldn't find the blind stick.

Yu Ye took a few steps forward, picked up the blind stick and handed it over, and helped Maodou, "It's so cold, what are you doing kneeling?"

"Modou's shoelaces are untied, and I want to help him tie them. There are too many things to spare, so I let him fumble for the shoelaces by himself. Unexpectedly, he almost fell down just now."

Yu Ye knelt down and wanted to tie Maodou's shoelaces, but found that the shoelaces were completely untied. He patted Maodou's shoulder with one hand, "Let's go, I'll lead you." He took the shopping bag from Zhou Qilu's hand with the other hand, and the three of them went upstairs together .

Wu Yuzhou took a shower, and when he opened the door, his hair was still half wet. Seeing Yu Ye, he was slightly taken aback, "Why are you here if you're not at home to spend the Spring Festival?"

"Pack up your things and take the two of them to my house to celebrate the New Year together."

"No, the three of us can live at home."

"Want to eat quick-frozen dumplings for your children during the Spring Festival?"

Wu Yuzhou was silent, he didn't know anything about cooking, and going to restaurants outside made it a bit less New Year's flavor, and he couldn't bear to let Cheng Xiaolu prepare the New Year's Eve dinner alone, after all, his sister was still a child in his heart.

Seeing his hesitation, Yu Ye hurriedly said: "There is no one in our family, just my mother and my sister, the three of us are very boring, there are so many people, I don't want my mother to call you in person, so hurry up and pack up your things and follow me..."

Persuading from left to right, Wu Yuzhou finally let go after nearly half an hour, "I'll ask Lulu first, if she is willing, we will go."

"OK."

Zhou Qilu was packing things in the kitchen. At this time, the light was strong at noon, and a circle of light shone on her body. The little girl in the shirt was beautiful and warm. She caught a glimpse of Wu Yuzhou coming in and turned off the tap, and called out sweetly, "Brother. "

Wu Yuzhou's heart warmed, and he smiled back subconsciously.

"Is the breakfast delicious? How is my cooking?"

"Great!" Wu Yuzhou replied truthfully.

Yu Ye sat on the sofa and waited quietly. Seeing Wu Yuzhou coming out, he immediately got up and went forward, "Would Lulu go?"

Wu Yuzhou deliberately did not answer.

Yu Ye was so anxious that he held his arm firmly, "Don't say I kiss you again."

Wu Yuzhou was honest when he heard this, and nodded with a smile.

The corners of Yu Ye's mouth immediately showed a big arc, and he picked up the Maodou padded jacket and walked to the master bedroom, "Modou, come here and get dressed."

Zhou Qilu's ability to adapt is much higher than Wu Yuzhou imagined. Not only Zhang Miao and others, but also Yu Ye's family who Yu Ye has never met before, she can adapt quickly, chatting and laughing with Cui Jinhua in a lively atmosphere.

Cui Jinhua is open-minded, polite and considerate. Knowing that Wu Yuzhou is dull and not talkative, she will not make noise in his ears. After a few simple chats, she returns to the kitchen to busy herself and try to leave space for the person in love to be alone.

When Yu Weiwei arrived home, the table was already covered with dishes, and a row of people were sitting on the sofa watching the Spring Festival Gala. The house hadn't been this lively for many years. Seeing the smiles on the faces of her mother and brother, she smiled unconsciously.

Sitting down to eat, Cui Jinhua took out a red envelope and shared one for each person. Adults can make money by themselves, but receiving the red envelope is still as happy as when I was a child. Yu Weiwei opened the red envelope, glanced at the money inside, and said with satisfaction: " The old lady has been generous this year."

During the meal, Yu Weiwei brought a glass of wine to Wu Yuzhou, "Brother Zhou, I was too impatient last time and said some nasty things. I'm sorry. I was so anxious to say those things at that time. I'm really sorry."

Yu Weiwei is only three years older than Zhou Qilu, and in Wu Yuzhou's eyes, he is still a child, so he naturally wouldn't argue with her, and he also understood what happened last time, the two of them clinked glasses and drank it all, and the episode last time was completely over.

After dinner, Maodou went to bed early, Yu Ye played mahjong with the three women, Wu Yuzhou stayed in the house for a while, and went out to smoke in the corridor. Fireworks are not allowed in the city, and there is less festive atmosphere. Jia Denghuo thought of her parents, and said to herself, "Mom and Dad, I found Lulu, and I will definitely find out who killed you next."

The sound of footsteps from far to near behind him, Wu Yuzhou could hear that it was Yu Ye, so he didn't look back, thinking that Yu Ye came to look for him back, he put out the cigarette casually, and was about to turn around, when Yu Ye came over, wrapping his arms around his waist, " Happy New Years baby!"

"Happy New Year to fish too."

"With you I am happy every day..."

Yu Ye's breathing was close to his ears, Wu Yuzhou was tickled by his words, and he didn't want to be too intimate in the corridor, so he changed the subject and asked, "Why did you come out? Mahjong is over so soon?"

"If Yu Weiwei doesn't win my money, she won't let me go easily. She told them to go to the bathroom before letting me out." There were so many people in the night, Yu Ye never had a chance to say happy new year to Wu Yuzhou, and he didn't come out. Just to say Happy New Year to him personally.

He originally planned to go in after talking, but he didn't want to leave when he hugged someone, he just wanted to hug him tighter and tighter, he lowered his head slightly, rubbed Wu Yuzhou's ears gently, the ambiguity heated up, and his heartbeat accelerated.

The ringtone of the mobile phone interrupted the ambiguity between the couple in vain, Yu Ye took out the mobile phone and wanted to hang up, but when he saw that it was the number from the bureau, he answered decisively.

The other party was a colleague on duty, "Captain Yu, I found Liang Qing's whereabouts."
