Chapter 146 Winding the Clock

"What's the matter?" Tan Yuhe looked at Gu Qiao and asked.

Gu Qiao didn't say it directly, but pointed at Xiao Jian's body, and asked, "What do you think is the thing stuck in his neck?"

Tan Yuhe was a little confused, but he approached Xiao Jian's corpse and observed it carefully, but no matter how he looked at it, he thought it was a blade, but he also knew that if it was as simple as a blade, Gu Qiao would not ask him that Yes, and then he asked with some uncertainty: "Is it a blade?"

Gu Qiao shook her head, then pointed to a big old clock above Xiao Jian's body: "You can see if that is a blade by yourself."

When Tan Yuhe watched Gu Qiao pointing to the clock, he was still a little dazed. He didn't know why he was still talking about the murder weapon on the deceased just now, but he still glanced at the big clock now.

With just one glance, Tan Yuhe's face changed a little, because there was no minute hand on that clock!Then he looked down and saw that the blade-like thing inserted into Xiao Jian's neck was the same color as the hour hand on the big clock!He suddenly realized that it wasn't a blade at all but a needle on a clock!

"Old Gu" At this moment, Zhao Ziyue, who was checking Xiao Jian's body, suddenly called Gu Qiao.

Gu Qiao responded, and hurriedly walked to Zhao Ziyue's side and asked, "What's the matter, is there a result?"

Zhao Ziyue nodded, looked at Gu Qiao solemnly and said, "There is no other trauma, the cause of death is that the hour hand of the clock directly penetrated the aorta of the neck and died with one blow! Also, I compared the angle at which the deceased held the hour hand with the The position of his hand judged that he should have committed suicide, but I just doubt it, and the specifics will not be confirmed until the people from the trace department complete the investigation."

Gu Qiao's face sank almost instantly, committing suicide, suicide again, he had a premonition that Xiao Jian's death was definitely related to that mysterious organization!

Tan Yuhe didn't notice Gu Qiao's expression, because his attention was not on Gu Qiao and Zhao Ziyue. At this moment, he was staring at the big clock on the wall. The color reminded him of something !

"Gu Qiao!" Tan Yuhe called Gu Qiao loudly: "Take down the clock on the wall! Quick!"

Gu Qiao was taken aback for a moment, and then turned his gaze to the clock. The clock was too big, he probably couldn't move it down by himself, and taking it down now wouldn't it mean destroying the scene of the crime?

"Professor Tan, wait a moment. I'll move the clock down when the people from the trace department come to investigate the scene." Gu Qiao said softly to Tan Yuhe.

Tan Yuhe also thought about the fact that moving the clock down now belongs to sabotaging the scene of the crime, and then he stopped insisting, leaving a sentence with Gu Qiao, "I want to go back to the police station, you wait here for me to come back", and then turned to the police station. Head ran out of the house.

Tan Yuhe always acted indifferently in front of others, Gu Qiao and Zhao Ziyue had never seen Tan Yuhe so anxious.

Gu Qiao was stronger, and he just came back to his senses after being stunned for a moment, but Zhao Ziyue pulled Gu Qiao's arm to chase after Tan Yuhe as if he had seen a ghost.

"Let go, why are you holding me!"

Gu Qiao violently shook off Zhao Ziyue's hand, seeing that Zhao Ziyue was still wearing the gloves that he hadn't taken off before the autopsy, he suddenly felt a chill all over his body.

"It must be a big thing to make Professor Tan so anxious." Zhao Ziyue looked outside and found that Tan Yuhe could no longer be seen. He frowned and said to Gu Qiao with a sky-falling expression: " Could it be that something happened in the police station? Damn, it couldn’t be that the police station was bombed, right? Otherwise, why would Professor Tan be in such a hurry? I’ve known him for two years and I’ve never seen him like this!”

Gu Qiao was taking off her coat. When she heard Zhao Ziyue's words, she didn't know whether she should cry or laugh. It seemed that Tan Yuhe's calm and indifferent appearance had already been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

"You think too much." After Gu Qiao replied, she went back to study the big clock.

He always felt that Tan Yuhe's series of performances were all because of this clock.

Before Gu Qiao could see what was special about the clock, the police officers from the trace department came.

Several police officers should take pictures and check fingerprints and footprints. After Gu Qiao told them that the murder weapon was the minute hand of the clock, they went to check the clock carefully.

Finally, they told Gu Qiao that the fingerprints on the clock were Xiao Jian's own, and even the metal minute hand inserted into his neck had only his own fingerprints, the result was self-evident.

That is Xiao Jian, he committed suicide.

After sending away the police officers from the Trace Section and Zhao Ziyue and another corpse, Gu Qiao obediently stayed in Xiaojian's room and waited for Tan Yuhe.

After about three or four minutes, Tan Yuhe hurried back.

As soon as he entered the house, Tan Yuhe asked Gu Qiao for disposable shoe covers and gloves. After putting them on, he beckoned Gu Qiao to move the clock down with him.

Although she didn't know what Tan Yuhe was going to do, Gu Qiao still cooperated with him to move down the big clock.

Just when Gu Qiao was about to ask Tan Yuhe what he wanted to do, Tan Yuhe suddenly took out a sealed plastic bag from his pocket, and inside the plastic bag was what looked like a key but was not a key that Zhao Ziyue dug out from Lin Yi's stomach.

Gu Qiao suddenly discovered that the metal object that looked like a key but was not a key was exactly the same color as the big clock!

He said in surprise, "Is this thing on the big clock?"

Tan Yuhe said with a serious expression: "I was thinking just now, what is the relationship between this thing and this clock, until I remembered the watches we often carry on our hands, I suddenly realized that this thing is probably the big clock that adjusts the time. bell strings!"

After finishing speaking, Tan Yuhe took out the metal thing from the sealed bag, and then looked for something behind the big clock.

When Gu Qiao heard Tan Yuhe talk about Zhong Xian, he immediately remembered that the alarm clock he had placed beside his bed before seemed to have this, and it seemed that this thing really was Zhong Xian!

Then he and Tan Yuhe looked for the place to insert the bell strings on the clock.

"Found it!" Gu Qiao touched a small round hole and shouted excitedly to Tan Yuhe.

Tan Yuhe immediately inserted the thing in his hand into the hole. The moment he inserted it, Gu Qiao and Tan Yuhe were both excited. It turned out that they guessed right, this thing is really a clock string!

Before they finished their excitement, the two heard a "click", and then a bird suddenly appeared in front of the big clock, telling the time.

Then Gu Qiao and Tan Yuhe saw at the same time that when the bird spoke to tell the time, it had a key in its mouth!
