Xin He has been by Gu Qiao's side for several years, seeing Gu Qiao's impatient expression, he smiled and said: "Boss, if you have something to do, go first, sister Li Mei and I are here as companions, Besides, I'm just a little injured, it's fine."

Gu Qiao nodded towards Xin He, and said, "Then you should pay more attention, Professor Tan and I will leave first."

After finishing speaking, he and Tan Yuhe got up and left Xin He's ward together. The two arrived at the parking lot downstairs of the hospital, and drove directly to Honghai Community.

This hospital is really not too close to the road of Honghai Community, Gu Qiao drove for almost four or ten minutes to get there.

After parking the car, Gu Qiao and Tan Yuhe went directly to the guard room of the community to inquire about the location of Unit 3.

Knowing the exact location, Gu Qiao and Tan Yuhe looked for it. When they arrived at unit 3, Gu Qiao looked at the elevator in front of him a little surprised, and said to Tan Yuhe, "We are so lucky, I thought we were going up to the sixth floor on foot. , Old Tan, this is a big surprise."

The address that suddenly came out of Gu Qiao's mouth made Tan Yuhe's mouth twitch slightly. He ignored Gu Qiao and went straight into the elevator. Looking at Gu Qiao who was still in the elevator and hadn't come in, he pressed the button without hesitation. up to the 6th floor.

Seeing that Tan Yuhe really pressed the floor without yelling, Gu Qiao "tsk tsk" twice, and got in before the elevator merged.

"Old Tan!" After getting into the elevator, Gu Qiao pretended to teach Tan Yuhe a few words: "I have told you several times, pay attention to the team's assistance, you go up by yourself, in case something happens What can I do..."

Gu Qiao draped Tan Yuhe's shoulders and chattered for a long time. Tan Yuhe didn't know what kind of trouble Gu Qiao was having tonight, so he simply closed his eyes and pretended not to hear.

It wasn't until the elevator reached the sixth floor that Gu Qiao stopped talking. As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, they saw the number plate 601. It turned out that room 601 was directly facing the elevator entrance.

Gu Qiao walked to the door of 601 and knocked on the door, but no one came to open the door for them, and there was no sound from the room, as if Lin Yi was not at home.

Gu Qiao patted it a few more times without giving up. Seeing that no one opened the door, he leaned against the door, holding the doorknob, and said helplessly to Tan Yuhe who was behind him, "Lin Yi doesn't seem to be at home."

"Then let's go back..."

Before Tan Yuhe could say anything, Gu Qiao staggered and almost sat on the ground. With Gu Qiao's movements, the door opened slowly.

After Gu Qiao stabilized herself, she looked at the opened door, her eyes almost popping out: "I just pushed the door handle and opened it? He didn't lock the door when he was not at home? You are not afraid of things being stolen. ! Wait, what kind of smell is this..."

Before Gu Qiao finished speaking, Tan Yuhe's expression changed, and he rushed into the room. Although Gu Qiao didn't know what happened, he followed Tan Yuhe's footsteps. He saw Tan Yuhe stopped at the door of a bedroom.

As soon as Tan Yuhe entered the room, he smelled that strange smell. He had smelled this smell before. It was the smell of burning charcoal!So he rushed in directly, looking at the closed door in front of him, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

At this time, Gu Qiao had already walked to Tan Yuhe's side, and Tan Yuhe also opened the door. Seeing the scene in the room, Tan Yuhe's whole heart sank.

I saw that the doors and windows in the room were tightly closed, and there was a person lying on the double bed. There was a pot of burning charcoal on the bedside table next to the person, and the whole room was filled with a pungent smell.

Gu Qiao looked at the pot of charcoal still burning by the bed, and his face became gloomy. He walked to the bed and tentatively put his hand under his nose, trying to see if he was still alive, but Gu Qiao He didn't feel the slightest breath.

When Gu Qiao checked that person, Tan Yuhe had already opened all the windows.

"Dead." Gu Qiao withdrew her hand and said to Tan Yuhe, "My phone is turned off, lend me a phone and I'll call Zhao Ziyue."

Tan Yuhe took out the mobile phone and handed it to Gu Qiao. After Gu Qiao finished calling Zhao Ziyue, he returned the mobile phone to Tan Yuhe, and then said softly: "Let's go out first, I asked Zhao Ziyue to bring someone over, the smell in this room Too thick, it’s not good to stay for a long time.”

Tan Yuhe didn't object, and allowed Gu Qiao to drag him out of the room.

After breathing the fresh air outside, Tan Yuhe's mind suddenly came to his senses, and he took a deep breath.

"He is Lin Yi, I have seen him before."

Tan Yuhe stated the facts in a flat tone.

"I guessed it." Gu Qiao said: "Now let's not jump to judgment, and wait for Lao Zhao to bring the traces to identify the group of people."

The two waited for about half an hour before Zhao Ziyue and the others arrived. After explaining the situation to Zhao Ziyue and the others, Gu Qiao and Tan Yuhe brought them to Lin Yi's bedroom.

Lin Yi was still lying upright on the bed. At first glance, it seemed that he was still alive. The pot of charcoal beside the bed was still burning, but because of the ventilation, the smell of burning charcoal in the room was almost gone.

Zhao Ziyue and the people from the trace department put on their shoe covers and entered the room. Gu Qiao and Tan Yuhe didn't go in, but just stood in the living room.

After a while, Zhao Ziyue came out. He walked up to Gu Qiao and said, "The deceased's face was cherry red, which is a typical symptom of carbon monoxide poisoning. There were no other external wounds on his body. For specifics, he needs to go back and check with professional equipment."

While Zhao Ziyue and Gu Qiao were talking, three police officers from the Trace Section also came out of the house, and the only female police officer among them said to Gu Qiao, "Director Gu, we found something on the ground inside the house. Three sets of footprints, because you told us just now that you and Professor Tan went into the house, so two groups were excluded, and we compared the remaining set with the footprints of the deceased’s cotton slippers in the room, so we can confirm the remaining set It is the deceased's own, and the fingerprints on the basin used for burning charcoal are also the fingerprints of the deceased himself, so it is basically certain that the deceased committed suicide."

"Okay, I see." Gu Qiao nodded, and said to the three police officers of the Trace Section, "Go back first."

Then Gu Qiao said to Zhao Ziyue: "We will help you carry the body to the car and send it back to the police station."

"I can't ask for it"

Zhao Ziyue was wearing a white mask, and his eyebrows were crooked with a smile. Just now, he thought that Gu Qiao would send the three policemen back, so no one would help him carry the body. Unexpectedly, Gu Qiao brought it up by himself this time.

Back in the bedroom, after Zhao Ziyue put Lin Yi's body into a body bag, the three of them worked together to carry the body into the car driven by Zhao Ziyue at the gate of the community.
