Chapter 28

After leaving the Angel Bar, Gu Mengping was not in a hurry to take Si Qingyang back. Instead, he went to the scene again. The scene should be the place with the most clues left. Gu Mengping felt that he had missed something, so he decided to go back and have a look.

The old housing area was already a bit chaotic. Now that there was a murder case, those residents dared not go out casually. The scene was only sealed now, and no one was guarding it. Gu Mengping bent down and passed under the seal. When I left, the scene was still under protection. After all, no one dared to come in to see where people died.

The quilt has already been taken away for inspection. I hope the higher authorities can find something. The room is still messy. According to Zhao Xiaoliang’s confession, it was already messy when he came. If he didn’t see the necklace left outside, he wouldn’t Thinking about it, assuming what Zhao Xiaoliang said is true, then the murderer is really looking for something.

There must be something missing, Gu Mengping scanned the room.

Chen Lulu didn't have a TV at home, and there seemed to be nothing else in the room except some clothes and bags. Her eyes fell on the cabinet, and the high imitation name tags and name tags were hung on both sides of the wardrobe.

Gu Mengping's eyes fell on the wardrobe grid, and an inconspicuous box came into sight. Gu Mengping stretched out his gloved right hand and picked up the box. It was a Canon camera box, and it seemed that it was not too late to buy it. Not long, only three or four months, but the box was obviously empty.

a camera...

Gu Mengping glanced across the room, and suddenly a light flashed in his mind.

At first, he thought the murderer was robbing money. Apart from the messy room and missing jewels, it was the dead man's mobile phone, which was gone!Now is the era of rapid development of mobile phone payment. It is even more impossible for a young girl like the deceased to not have a mobile phone. However, the deceased's mobile phone could not be found at the scene. After a careful look at Gu Mengping, he discovered that there was something wrong with the house. As a diligent person, the house is very messy, not only because someone turned it into such a mess, it should be messy in the first place.

But the dead man's table was very clean, no, it couldn't be described as clean, it should be said to be empty.

Yes, it just feels like something is missing.

Gu Mengping went to the computer desk and squatted down to take a look. There were many plugs in the row, including mobile phone charging cables, computer cables, and electric fan cables.

and many more……

Gu Mengping suddenly remembered that the computer of the deceased was found under the mattress of the deceased... It was because of this that most of the blood was stained. It is impossible for a person to just stuff things under the mattress. There must be something in the computer that they haven't found. s things!

Gu Mengping stood up and searched the drawer of the deceased, but did not find any memory card or USB, and the camera and mobile phone were gone. Gu Mengping even saw the box of the recording pen in the drawer of the deceased, but there was nothing there. See the voice recorder.

It's impossible for something like a recording pen to be bought by someone casually. What is Chen Lulu going to record?

No, it seems that she should have recorded something, or someone thought she had recorded something, so she was killed, and then the murderer took these things away.

Now, Gu Mengping is more sure that Chen Lulu must have other secrets to hide from others.

Gu Mengping suddenly remembered that in the chat records between Chen Lulu and that unknown person, Chen Lulu was sure that she could make a fortune from a certain person. Who is this person?

Now to go over the information I got, first of all, Chen Lulu had someone's secret to blackmail him, wanting to make a sum of money and then elope with this unknown netizen, but she didn't expect to be killed instead of threatening.

After thinking about this line clearly, I immediately felt that the case went much smoother.

From the current point of view, Li Zian's suspicion is still the biggest. Li Zian's confession once mentioned that Chen Lulu couldn't get rid of him after clinging to him. Chen Lulu once said that he would tell his wife, and Li Zian was upset for a long time.

But there is currently no direct evidence pointing to Li Zian, and Li Zian has witnesses. He was socializing yesterday and fooled around in the bar all night. Many people saw it at the time, so the time of Li Zian's crime still needs to be verified.

Gu Mengping was thinking about it when he caught a glimpse of a black shadow outside the window from the corner of his eye. The moment he saw it, he shouted at Si Qingyang who was standing in the living room before he could fully see it.

"catch him!"

Hearing this sentence, Si Qingyang only had half a second to think, and then his body reacted as quickly as possible, rushing directly to the door. Just as he went out, he saw someone had already run to the end of the corridor.

There is no elevator in such an old house. When Si Qingyang ran over a few steps, the other party had already gone down half a floor. Si Qingyang walked to the entrance of the corridor to see the other party's figure clearly. He was a very tall young man. It is about 1.8 meters tall, but it is very young, probably only about 20 years old.

Grasping the handrail of the stairs, Si Qingyang leaped and jumped directly from the upstairs. The man was so frightened that he stepped on the ground, and when he was about to fall down, Si Qingyang grabbed his collar , directly pulled back.

The other party's center of gravity was unstable, he sat on the ground with his buttocks, and fell to the tailbone. His face changed from the pain at this moment, but he still didn't give up, and wanted to continue running down, but how could he compare with Si Qingyang? He was beaten so dizzy that his clenched fist didn't touch Si Qingyang from the beginning to the end, only he himself was screaming from the beating.

"Okay, stop hitting!" Just as Si Qingyang was about to drop his fist, the other party hurriedly covered his face and let out a cry of pain.

Hearing this, Si Qingyang let go of his fist, and let go of someone's hand, but the other party didn't intend to just give up, and kicked Si Qingyang Xiasanlu directly. He was on guard, but was still kicked in the calf. His face turned cold, and he was not polite, and directly twisted someone who was trying to escape until he gasped.

"Little bastard, you run pretty fast." Having watched enough of the play, Gu Mengping, who was standing on the upper half of the stairs, leaned over and spoke humanely to the people below.

She is indeed quite young, about 20 years old, thin and weak, with a pretty face.

This kid had a stubborn temper, but he was no match for Si Qingyang, so he had to be honest.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Gu Mengping walked down and stood opposite him and asked.

The other party didn't speak, but just looked at Gu Mengping with gritted teeth angrily.

Gu Mengping glanced at him, waited for a few seconds, and called out: "Li Yang."

It seems that Gu Mengping never thought that he would call these two words. The person who had been quiet under Si Qingyang's restraint suddenly started to struggle again, the expression on his face became ugly, and the panic became even worse.

"It seems to be right, then come with us." Gu Mengping was very satisfied with his reaction.

Now Mu Zhiyuan didn't need to check anymore, this silly boy came to his door by himself.

Si Qingyang forcibly took him to the police station, but Li Yang always resisted.

When Mu Zhiyuan saw Gu Mengping forcibly dragging a person back, his eyes also stared straight.

"Who is this?" he asked.

"Li Yang." Gu Mengping gave Mu Zhiyuan two words, and the person holding the water glass was quite calm at first.

Two seconds later, the phrase "Damn it" resounded through the office, and Mu Zhiyuan dropped his water glass and followed.

Bringing him into the interrogation room, Gu Mengping was stopped by Mu Zhiyuan before he went in: "How did you find it?"

"Si Qingyang and I went to see the scene, and this kid was caught sneaking under the wall."

Regarding this, Gu Mengping also felt that he was really lucky. This Li Yang was actually Chen Lulu's online boyfriend whom they had been looking for but had no news of.

They knew that this person was called Li Yang, but they didn't know anything else. There are tens of thousands of people named Li Yang all over the country. It is really difficult to track him with just one name. The location where the other party landed has also been unstable, so they couldn't confirm his identity. , I didn't expect that the person I thought was the hardest to find would come to my door by himself.

But looking at the people in the room, Mu Zhiyuan was still a little skeptical, after all, this person looked really young, like a high school student.

Gu Mengping walked into the interrogation room. This kid was obviously very nervous, he didn't dare to lift his head, and he looked timid.

"Name?" Gu Mengping asked.

"..." The other party didn't answer.

Gu Mengping glanced at him, and asked the person next to him to pour him a cup of hot water. When Li Yang took it, he squeezed it, as if he wanted to absorb the warmth from the cup.

"What's your name?" Gu Mengping spoke again this time.

"Li Muyang, the wood of wood, the sun of sunshine." The other party finally spoke.

Gu Mengping frowned.

"Li Yang is your screen name?"

"Hmm." Replied in a low voice.

"What's your relationship with Chen Lulu?" Gu Mengping asked again.

The other party suddenly stopped talking, seemed to hesitate, seemed to be struggling again...

"Chen Lulu died, does it have anything to do with you?" Gu Mengping said straight to the point, there is no need to beat around the bush with such a person.

"No, absolutely not, I just found out that she died!" Hearing what Gu Mengping said, Li Muyang immediately panicked, and quickly explained to Gu Mengping.

Looking at Gu Mengping's suspicious eyes, Li Muyang became honest this time, and gave him a full account.

Li Muyang, from City H, aged [-] years old, dropped out of junior high school to work in the county, because he saw that kind of website in an Internet cafe, registered an account with the mentality of giving it a try, and then met Chen Lulu, he was not very old, Chen Lulu He was also four or five years older than him. He had seen photos of Chen Lulu, who was good-looking and temperamental, and his young and unsophisticated heart fell into it all at once, and Chen Lulu was flirtatious and open.

The boy who had just begun to fall in love was teased so distracted, only to be fooled by Chen Lulu. The reason why there was no photo of him in the chat history of the two was mainly because he always made direct video calls, so there were no photos.

Li Muyang's looks belonged to the good-looking one, compared to Li Zi'an, it was like heaven and earth.

The two chatted for three months, and Li Muyang felt that the time was almost up, so he left City H to find Chen Lulu, but according to his account, he went to the place where Chen Lulu worked but did not find her.

Li Muyang didn't know about Chen Lulu's death. He went to the Angel Bar again today and got Chen Lulu's address. When he went to the door, he found that the state of the room was not right. Gu Mengping found out when he wanted to leave.

But as for who told Li Muyang Chen Lulu's address, Li Muyang only said that it was a man, but it was not Shen Xi, the boy.It was the supervisor of the waiter. Because Li Muyang said he was Chen Lulu's boyfriend, the supervisor gave him the address without asking any further questions. The supervisor didn't know that Chen Lulu was dead, so it wasn't strange to tell Li Muyang.

"What do you think of Li Muyang's interrogation?" In the monitoring room, Mu Zhiyuan glanced at Si Qingyang.

Regarding Si Qingyang's departure, Gu Mengping's answer was that he made a mistake. Si Qingyang just went to the toilet. Time passed.

For this, Mu Zhiyuan was almost laughed out of anger, and he didn't know who was stupid!

"He's lying." Si Qingyang answered with dignity.

"How do you know?" Mu Zhiyuan was taken aback, he felt that Li Muyang's answer was very careful, he only needed to call his hometown and ask at the Angel Bar to know what he said.

"In the chat records between Chen Lulu and Li Muyang, Chen Lulu meant to find Li Muyang after spending the money, and he insisted on coming to the imperial capital to find Chen Lulu." Si Qingyang said for a long time, and Mu Zhiyuan was stunned for a while. .

It was only then that Mu Zhiyuan remembered that Li Muyang's answer just now was that the two had chatted for three months, and Li Muyang felt that the relationship between the two could develop into a boyfriend and girlfriend, so he came to the capital to find Chen Lulu.

Then there is a little deviation from the chat history.

Li Muyang insisted on coming to the imperial capital, why?

When exactly did Li Muyang come to the imperial capital?

Suddenly, Mu Zhiyuan thought of another thing. Li Muyang went to the bar to find Chen Lulu a few days ago, but Chen Lulu was not there at that time. Chen Lulu had already made an appointment with Li Muyang, but why was Chen Lulu not there?

At that time, Chen Lulu should have had no accidents. The time of death was after the early morning yesterday, before dawn, not a few days ago. Where was Chen Lulu at that time?what are you doing?Did Li Muyang continue to contact Chen Lulu in the future?

They obtained Chen Lulu's number from Han Xing, and there was no Li Yang's number in the call records given by the mobile company, so it proved that Li Muyang never called Chen Lulu at all.

After the interrogation, Gu Mengping walked out of the interrogation room, and Mu Zhiyuan was already waiting outside.

"He probably wants to cheat Chen Lulu's money, let's investigate the case, there should be something to gain." Gu Mengping said to Mu Zhiyuan. "Let the forensic doctor extract DNA for comparison. Those cigarette butts should also be left by him."

After listening to Gu Mengping's words, Mu Zhiyuan had a strange expression on his face. That's not what Li Muyang said just now. According to his confession, it was the first time he went to Chen Lulu's house today, and he was arrested without even entering the door. Looking at Gu Mengping's smile, Mu Zhiyuan suddenly felt that he would not handle the case anymore!

The news came quickly from City H. This Li Muyang was indeed his original name, and Gu Mengping's guess was correct. Li Muyang did have a criminal record in the local area. He had defrauded many high school girls by pretending to be a rich second generation. Lots of young girls.

Li Muyang's mind is not as pure and ignorant as he shows. During the conversation, he always reveals that Chen Lulu seduced him intentionally or unintentionally, but Gu Mengping happens to be a person with a good memory. In the chat records, Li Muyang is obviously the more active one. Although he doesn't say how open he is when chatting, this kid's EQ is not low.

Because it was just a scam of small money, I was released after being locked up for a few months.

It will take some time to compare the DNA of the forensic doctor, but Li Muyang can't get away with lying. Gu Mengping has always been confident in his judgment.

Li Muyang told Chen Lulu that he would avoid talking about making money to find him. The more he avoids the matter, the more likely it will become the core, so he intuited that Li Muyang came here to cheat money.

So, is it possible for him to kill someone?Chen Lulu should like Li Muyang, and she also knows that Li Muyang's situation is not good.So is there something wrong with one of them?Let this elopement turn into a phantom, Li Muyang couldn't get the money, so he killed Chen Lulu in anger?

These are all possible, but guesses are guesses. Substantial evidence is needed to solve the case. Gu Mengping can imagine wildly, but Mu Zhiyuan cannot. He must be supported by evidence to solve the case.

The comparison of DNA will provide a new round of evidence for the case and make the case turn for the better.

But what does this have to do with Chen Lulu's disappearing cushion products?Gu Mengping squinted his eyes, he still missed something, he felt that the matter was not so simple, the appearance of Li Muyang was definitely not a coincidence.

If the person was killed by Li Muyang, why would he return to the scene of the crime knowing that the police are guarding him now.

But why did Li Muyang lie?

There are now four suspects in the case.

One is Shen Xi with a fair face, but Shen Xi's suspicion is not that great, it can only prove that he and Chen Lulu have a feud.

Then there is Han Xing, Han Xing's motive for killing is not obvious, but her signs indicate that she is weird, so Gu Mengping has to pay attention to her. Han Xing is the closest person to Chen Lulu, and also It's a girl, if Chen Lulu killed her at home, then it's most normal for Chen Lulu to open the door for Han Xing late at night.

The third one is Li Zi'an. Li Zi'an fell in love with Chen Lulu's beauty and wanted to have a spring night, but was entangled by Chen Lulu and threatened him to tell his wife, so Li Zi'an was the one with the most obvious motive for killing.

The fourth one is Li Muyang, a young man from H City, a poor man who likes to cheat girls out of money, and met Chen Lulu online. He was full of trains, and the motive for killing may be money, but it is not obvious, because Chen Lulu likes He, he asked for money, and Chen Lulu had a high chance of giving it to him.

Then among the four suspects, the little boy has the lowest suspicion value and can be put aside, Han Xing and Li Zian are the best perpetrators and the ones with the clearest motives, while Li Muyang is a bit vague, his motive for killing is not obvious , The murderous consciousness is not obvious.

Among the four suspects, Gu Mengping felt that one person had been missed. Yes, all three of them were straightforward and not procrastinating. Only one of them had another person mixed in with Chen Lulu.

That was Li Zian. In this case, Li Zian brought another person who was his wife. Gu Mengping felt that he should meet this Mrs. Li, after all, she was also a party involved.

"Li Zi'an's wife is traveling in Europe, she has already been notified, and she won't arrive at the Capital Airport until tomorrow night at the earliest." Mu Zhiyuan hung up the phone with an uneasy expression.

"When did you leave?" Gu Mengping asked.

"It took off at noon yesterday and arrived in Paris early this morning." After Mu Zhiyuan finished speaking, the expression on his face became serious.

Not only that, even Gu Mengping's expression became not very good-looking. The timing of Mrs. Li's departure was really weird. Something happened to Chen Lu in the early morning. They received a report in the morning, and Mrs. Li left by plane at noon.

These guesses have not been confirmed yet, guesses are guesses, and the follow-up case can be solved. What worries them most at present is whether Mrs. Li will come back.

European visas are valid for the entire European Union. If Mrs. Li is really a suspect, it is not impossible for her to leave Paris and go to other countries to hide as soon as she is notified. There are also a lot of criminals in Europe. They have It is possible to cooperate with the EU police to arrest, but the work there is slow. The whole process takes time not only for communication and cooperation, but it is not that simple to arrest people across the country, and it is possible that the case will not be resolved in half a year.

"What should we do now?" Mu Zhiyuan glanced at Gu Mengping and asked.

"Wait, if there is no reply tomorrow, I will go." Gu Mengping pondered for a while, and then said something to Mu Zhiyuan.

"In case she's not the murderer..." Mu Zhiyuan still had some considerations. It would take two days to go back and forth, and he might not be able to bring her back...

"No, I have other things, maybe I need to take a trip." Gu Mengping didn't say it clearly, but his eyes glanced at Si Qingyang, and Mu Zhiyuan followed his gaze.

Just in time, I saw Si Qingyang standing in the corridor, looking at the scenery in the distance, with a side face that looked very peaceful, but with a bit of coldness.

Si Qingyang is an excellent person no matter how you look at it, but his identity is really worrying. Gu Mengping didn't say anything, but he must have found some other clues. He doesn't know why Gu Mengping asked Si Qingyang Yang, but the above all turn a blind eye, that must be some considerations.

"No, you have been closely watched recently, don't you know how dangerous your situation is!" Mu Zhiyuan's face darkened a little.

Gu Mengping asked him to clean up the scene that day, but by the time he rushed there, the scene had been cleaned up, and nothing was left except the wheel marks and friction marks, even the bullets had been cleaned up. They are still under control, and they don't know what to ask. No matter how you look at it, the situation is more serious than they imagined.

He is not worried about Gu Mengping leaving the country now, no, leaving the imperial capital is a thing that needs to be careful!

"Don't be so nervous, I'm just joking, that woman will come back, I'm confident." Patting Mu Zhiyuan on the shoulder, Gu Mengping turned and walked towards Si Qingyang.

Si Qingyang already knew the gaze they were looking at, and looked back at the two of them. When Gu Mengping turned around, he met his gaze. In fact, if you look carefully, you will find that Si Qingyang's gaze, which was originally like a cold pool, is now also With a touch of warmth...
