Chapter 34 The unexpected second victim...

Grandma pushed open the door and quickly retreated.

What Lin Meiqi saw was a young but bearded man in front of her.

He had a piece of brown cloth tied around his head and was sitting cross-legged on a stool, as if he was meditating. He was wearing a cloth garment that looked like it had been naturally dyed.

In this luxurious room, there is a kind of "beauty" that is quite simple, even simple to the point of being out of place.

At first glance, I thought I saw a primitive man.

The man closed his eyes and made strange movements with his hands.

Hearing someone coming, he asked, "What do you want from me?"

Feng Charlie pulled out a stool in front of him and sat down, and several other police officers sat on the sofa nearby.

"Feng Qin, right? Even though your guest used your formation, he still didn't escape death. Can you explain?"

This really gets straight to the point.

Feng Qin's eyes suddenly opened, and when he saw the handsome features of the tall man in front of him, he immediately parted his lips and sneered twice.

"Who are you? If you say someone will die suddenly, then he will die suddenly. Are you here to extort money?"

"The first thing you thought of was extorting money. Could it be that you know a lot and have some tricks to cheat people out of money?"

Feng Qin's face immediately turned green, probably because he had been hit in a sore spot.

He looked outside the room and said, "Grandma, where did these annoying people come from? Take them away quickly! Hey, you guys get out of my room!"

Grandma didn't come in, obviously not wanting to listen to this so-called Feng Shui master.

"If you are so good at calculating, you should be able to figure out what I want from you."

"Who are you? Oh, you're not an actor, are you? Sorry, I'm face-blind and can't recognize our master's other friends."

"actor?"

"If you want to cause trouble, I won't give you this opportunity, because if you threaten me like this, it will offend the gods."

Feng Qin suddenly lowered his voice and spoke in a serious tone, with a very ferocious expression, as if he was trying to intimidate Feng Charlie.

Feng Charlie remained unmoved and took out his police officer ID.

"It seems that you don't have any real skills. You can't figure out that I'm not here to mess things up, but to question my suspect."

Feng Qin opened his eyes wide: "Suspect? I didn't do anything! I..."

Feng Qin was indeed panicked, but soon he frowned, closed his eyes, and calmed himself down.

"Suspect, suspect..." he muttered.

Although he didn't know whether these rich people came to him because he defrauded them, he had seen the world and could run rampant among the rich because he was bold enough and dared to deceive them.

So, what if the other person is a police officer?

You must keep your mind steady and not reveal any flaws.

This kind of thing about finding a Feng Shui master, where both parties are willing to take the fight and be punished, can be considered a kind of psychological comfort for the rich.

Even if I took some money, I still had to perform the rituals and set up the formations. He fulfilled his duties, so he can't be considered a fraud, right?

Thinking of this, no matter how big the matter is, we can just let it remain calm.

When he opened his eyes again, Feng Qin was no longer angry about the people who came in front of him. Instead, he regained his usual calmness, with a smile on his lips, and was ready for everything.

When Feng Charlie saw his transformation, he was surprised at this guy's good mental quality.

But this is not surprising.

"Gu Mingxuan was your guest, right? What do you think about him dying in the swimming pool of his own garden villa?"

Gu Mingxuan is dead?

He thought the police officer was trying to scare him and force him to confess to the crime, but he didn't expect it to be true?

Feng Qin's pupils dilated instantly, but he soon lowered his eyes and looked away.

If he died, he died. It had nothing to do with him.

So he just said calmly: "You mean my formation killed him? This is really nonsense. My formation is to help him change his luck. Officer, you are not so careless about evidence, are you? What's more, I have been staying in the villa recently and have not left the house. There is no way for me to separate my soul and go to his garden villa to kill people, right?"

Feng Charlie pushed the photo of real hair taken in Gu Mingxuan's garden villa in front of Feng Qin and said, "We have been investigating all the materials contained in your formation. I know that you mixed some blood-red juice together to make it look a bit scary. But I want to ask you why you added a material that should not belong here."

"What material?"

"Red wine," said Feng Charlie, "and it's red wine brewed by his own family. Why, don't tell me you don't know."

Feng Qin rolled his eyes, picked up the photo on the table, and stared at it carefully for a few seconds: "This is the customer's request, I will do it. It is to resolve his inner demons, it is normal."

"What does the guest want?" asked Charlie Feng.

Feng Qin coughed and put the photo back. "Well, I think you can see that I only made the formation for him. I resolved it. Look at his wine business, nothing happened. As for his life, it's not my business. After all, he didn't ask me to make a formation to save his life."

After saying that, Feng Qin pinched his fingers again and closed his eyes, looking as if he was about to leave after entering a state of meditation.

"Explain clearly, what exactly is this formation used for? What happened to his wine business?"

"Isn't it shrinking? Does he want to develop it further?" Lin Meiqi said in surprise.

The key point is that other businesses have grown so big, and there is no need to bring a shrinking business line back to its original state. Does he have any obsession with red wine?

Feng Qin said nothing for a long while before he spoke: "I don't know the grudges in their family. He asked me to make this formation just to help his red wine business resolve the crisis. It's that simple. I have said everything I should say. Please don't stay any longer and disturb my practice."

"You..." He Wanyi was dissatisfied.

Feng Qin can confirm that he did not have time to commit the crime, and he was indeed staying in the villa on the day of the crime.

I just asked my grandma, who is also a time witness. As for the formation, he didn't ask for more information. Was it because he didn't want to say it, or was it because he didn't know much?

Fortunately, there is now a new breakthrough, the wine business.

It seems that Gu Mingxuan attaches great importance to this industry, rather than simply trying to make the juice look good by adding red wine, or the things that the liar in front of him randomly kneaded into the formation.

This is worth investigating, then.

Just as Feng Charlie was about to lead the team to leave, he suddenly heard Feng Qin's voice behind him: "Officer, you have to speed up, otherwise according to my speculation, more people will die in Gu Mingxuan's family."

Feng Charlie turned to look at Feng Qin, sneered, and left.

After leaving the house, everyone was greatly disappointed.

"There are so few clues that it's almost the same as not asking at all."

"This guy is full of nonsense and won't give any key information. He is so used to fooling people that he even fooled the police."

"Do you think this person has any knowledge of Feng Shui?"

"how?"

"Look at the position he chose. As a Feng Shui master, he shouldn't be sitting in the northwest corner of the master's room. That's where the master's room is. If he sits there, he's just occupying the master's room, which is not good for the master's Feng Shui."

"Wow, Awan, you know this?"

"I studied it a little, but I didn't learn it thoroughly. I thought I could really meet the master, but I didn't expect him to be a liar."

"A real Feng Shui master wouldn't just go to rich areas, right? And he would live in someone else's villa for a long time. Isn't that just freeloading? Of course, most of these people are liars."

"That's true. Anyway, many masters I know live in the mountains and forests. They have their own residences. Word of mouth spreads, and believers will go to find them specifically, no matter how remote the place is. It's definitely not like this one, who took the initiative to come to his house."

"But the last sentence he said might be a hint from him because he had lived in Gu Mingxuan's home and understood his family situation."

"People around Gu Mingxuan..."

Lin Meiqi suddenly asked, "Have his two sons not visited him yet?"

Ho Wan-yi replied: "Yes, on the day of the crime, the two sons were with their mother at the old house and had no time to commit the crime."

Feng Charlie said, "If he hired someone to kill someone, then he would be guilty. We can't take it lightly. We have to start with the people who know Gu Mingxuan's situation and are closest to him. Let's go. On the way back, we will go to the old house and ask his second son Gu Kaichuan to see if his family knows if there is any dispute between the father and son."

Half an hour later, everyone rushed to the rich businessman's old house. Liu Yanbing and Gu Kaichuan were there, and the eldest son went to the temple to burn incense.

Because Gu Kaichuan had just reached adulthood and looked young, she looked like a very well-behaved child when she sat next to Liu Yanbing.

Feng Charlie and Lin Meiqi asked a few questions and then questioned the servants in the old house separately, and concluded that there was indeed some dispute between Gu Mingxuan and Gu Kaichuan.

It's more about Gu Mingxuan interfering with Gu Kaichuan's studies and wanting to send him to study in the United States.

But Gu Kaichuan didn't want to leave as he was closer to his mother. At present, he only listens to Liu Yanbing. Liu Yanbing can't bear to leave her child and doesn't want him to go.

Liu Yanbing's ideas were instilled into Gu Kaichuan's ears, and he stubbornly quarreled with his father.

When asked about this topic, they didn't say anything at first.

But Lin Meiqi found the traces.

There were some fresh scratches on the spiral staircase. Lin Meiqi guessed that there must have been a fierce quarrel or even a fight here.

She pointed out the evidence on the railing, and the housekeeper had to admit that Gu Mingxuan and Gu Kaichuan had a fierce quarrel and smashed the cups, which damaged the solid wood of the spiral staircase and left evidence.

Lin Meiqi asked, "Have they had many arguments like this recently?"

"There's a lot to say. The father and son started arguing over this topic."

"So what role did Liu Yanbing play in this?"

"Because she didn't want her son to leave, I'm afraid there was a rift between her and the master."

"You two have never quarreled?"

"It's impossible to say we haven't argued before." The housekeeper admitted, "In fact, the atmosphere at home has been very tense recently because the master has too many women outside and Liu Yanbing feels insecure. The eldest son is not doing well, so she has to keep the youngest son by her side. She wants to see him enter the company and slowly take over the group's business, so she will definitely not let him leave. So on the surface, the argument is about studying abroad, but in fact it is a fight for control of the group in advance."

After learning the information, Feng Charlie led the team away.

He sent out a team of police officers to find out whether Gu Kaichuan had contacted anyone outside and whether there was a possibility of hiring a killer.

Of course, the possibility of Liu Yanbing is still small.

Disputes are disputes, but killing Gu Mingxuan would do more harm than good to her.

But Gu Kaichuan is different. He is still young and may have murderous intentions in the heat of the moment.

What's more, judging from the crime scene, the possibility of the son being the culprit is greater than that of Liu Yanbing.

From what the servants saw, Gu Mingxuan and Liu Yanbing did not have a very good relationship. Even after he frequently had affairs with other women, he sometimes got annoyed by Liu Yanbing's meddling.

It is unlikely that he could sit there leisurely drinking after seeing Liu Yanbing in the middle of the night.

Lin Meiqi reminded, "Besides, I don't think Liu Yanbing would bother herself by going there in the early hours of the morning. Isn't she afraid of seeing him with other women?"

He Wanyi nodded: "Unless she is looking for trouble, but at the moment, there is really no need for her to teach her lover a lesson, and she has to do it in front of her husband. Wouldn't it make her impression in front of her husband even worse?"

It was already afternoon when the group returned to the task force.

Lin Meiqi felt a little sleepy. There wasn't much on hand, so after dealing with it for a while, she pulled out the retractable bed and lay down on it.

When I woke up, I found that everyone in the serious crime team was gone, even Xie Zhiruo was gone. I guess they all went out to do their own things.

She felt sore from sleeping alone, so she decided to go out for a walk.

So I went downstairs, turned left and right at the entrance of the alley, and saw a fried tofu shop. I smelled the scent, wow, it was stinky tofu again!

Lin Meiqi had been craving for this for a long time, and now that she could finally taste it, she couldn't help but feel excited.

"Boss, give me a box of stinky tofu."

"OK."

The person frying the stinky tofu is an old man. He is old and must have been making stinky tofu for quite some time, as his movements are quite skillful.

Put a few plump white stinky tofu into the pan and fry them, rolling them with long chopsticks so that every side is fried. After a few minutes, take it out and add some green onions, coriander, chili peppers, and pickles.

It was exactly as she had imagined, except that in later lives, the stinky tofu she ate was mostly black.

"Thank you, boss."

Lin Meiqi picked up the stinky tofu with a toothpick and put it into her mouth. When she bit it, it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the spicy juice invaded her mouth.

Wow, it's perfect!

She continued walking forward and saw a bookstore...

I finished eating the stinky tofu, threw it into the trash can, and walked into the bookstore.

Lin Meiqi was walking aimlessly in the bookstore. Suddenly, when she came to an area containing corporate biographies, she saw familiar words in the corner.

"Wait, isn't this Gu Mingxuan's group? Their company actually has a corporate biography."

However, there are only two books left on the shelf, which is just enough to understand the various business lines of Gu Group.

Lin Meiqi flipped through two pages at random and found the records were quite detailed.

She paid at the cashier, took the book, walked downstairs twice to stretch her legs, then went upstairs and returned to the forensic room.

Lin Meiqi carefully read the development history of Gu Mingxuan Enterprise.

Look at the date on the back of the book. It was first published just two months ago, so this should be a relatively new encyclopedia of business development. I should be able to find the information I need in it, right?

She started from the first page and checked the table of contents, and found that the section on the wine business accounted for less than 1/20 of the book's content and was concentrated in the first two parts.

Could it be that among the later developed business lines, red wine has lagged so far behind and is not mentioned at all?

Lin Meiqi turned to the second half of the book and was looking at corporate strategic adjustments, several important reforms, etc., but found that there was no information related to red wine. The most mentioned topics were information technology development and real estate.

It’s a good idea to bet on these two businesses. At least they are the hottest business lines in Hong Kong now and it’s easier to make a lot of money.

In comparison, the market size of red wine is really dwarfed.

There are not many ordinary people in Hong Kong who have developed the habit of drinking red wine. Rich people drink high-end red wine, and the ones produced in France are very expensive. If it is a private winery, the pricing is even more disparate, and there is a lot of premium.

This was something Gao Yugu had mentioned before.

So for a business line like Gu Group, which is neither high nor low and has relatively old business lines, there is really no possibility of development.

Why is he so concerned about the wine business?

Lin Meiqi flipped through the entire corporate history. Even though the wine business was occasionally mentioned in the beginning, the introduction was very short, only about five or six pages in total.

I'm really confused.

…

Lin Meiqi finished reading the book in one afternoon.

When it was almost time to get off work, Feng Charlie came back with his team and was still handing over work. He told the diplomatic representative to keep an eye on Gu Kaichuan's movements and find out who he had been in contact with recently.

It seems that the suspicion is placed on Gu Mingxuan's family.

24-hour monitoring is also a method. In case there are new developments after the incident, they can be monitored in time.

Lin Meiqi walked forward, placed the corporate biography she had bought in front of Feng Charlie, and told Feng Charlie all the doubts she had.

Feng Charlie also frowned. "How did the whole thing have to do with red wine? But from every angle, I don't see why this business line needs to grow and develop. Did he ask the Feng Shui master to make that formation to revive the red wine industry? From the information we have so far, it's hard to form a smooth logic at each node. It seems that something doesn't make sense."

Lin Meiqi nodded.

The clue was still interrupted, and both of them fell into silence.

Lin Meiqi suddenly spoke up and asked, "How is the investigation going on with the executives?"

"Among the 11 executives, seven did not have the time to commit the crime, and those who did have the time had no motive. They were all Gu Mingxuan's capable subordinates, and were promoted by Gu Mingxuan. After questioning each employee, we did not find any disputes among them, at most they just had different opinions. The heads of various lines also handed over all the company's archived documents to us for review. There were no fundamental problems recorded in the documents, and there was no adverse impact on the executives. It was just a purely business dispute."

Lin Meiqi sat back on the stool and drank her coffee. It felt weird, but she couldn't tell what was weird.

"The only explanation is that our information collection is not sufficient and we have missed some information. So I am sending more people to conduct peripheral investigations. The more information we get, the more likely we are to get closer to the correct answer, and this takes time," said Charlie Feng.

It was time to get off work. Charlie Feng glanced at the clock and said to Lin Meiqi, "Go back quickly and have a good rest. If you sleep well at night, you will be motivated tomorrow."

Lin Meiqi stretched and said casually, "Okay, but I don't know what to eat tonight?"

At this time, He Wanyi and the others came back from outside and just heard this. They said, "I'll take you to eat!"

Lin Meiqi asked: "Where are we going?"

He Wanyi said, "You probably don't know yet, but there's a new siu mai shop just two lanes away from us. It's opening today, and everything is half price. If you don't go, you'll be at a big loss."

"Everything is half price, won't that be too crowded? We can't squeeze in."

"Don't worry, I just came back from a business trip and passed by there. I saw there was an event, so I directly booked a table with the store owner. He has reserved a seat for us, so let's go quickly!"

When Lin Meiqi heard that there was a new store opening and the prices were so cheap, her eyes lit up: "Great, let's go there quickly."

Feng Charlie glanced at the office and said, "Let's eat first. People are made of iron and food is made of steel. If you have unfinished work, do it when you come back."

We walked to the steamed dumpling shop.

As expected, the siomai shop was packed with people.

However, one table was occupied by several large bags of miscellaneous items.

"Wow, Boss, you are such a nice person!"

"That's right, you have paid the deposit, right? Come on, officers, please take a seat."

"That's not right. How do you know I'm a police officer?" He Wanyi asked in surprise. "I didn't tell you what I do when I came here."

"I know you even if you don't tell me. I opened a shop downstairs from the Serious Crime Unit five years ago, but I didn't choose the right products. The shacha noodles I made back then were not as good as the one next door, so it went bankrupt. Your people came once or twice and then stopped eating there. I didn't expect you to come this time when my shop just opened. I recognized you as Officer Ho Wan-yee right away!"

He Wanyi thought about it and had an impression: "It's really you, then I want to try the cooking skills of your new shop."

"There's definitely no need to worry about that this time."

"Don't try to sell melons like Wang Po. We won't know until we taste them."

"Of course."

After the members of the serious crime team sat down, the shaomai were quickly served.

Of course, although the new store’s signature dish is siomai, they actually also have a variety of other dim sum.

Lin Meiqi also ordered a pineapple bun, which had a very rich buttery baked flavor when she bit into it.

"Wow, the craftsmanship of this shop owner is quite good." Lin Meiqi exclaimed.

"Really?" He Wanyi took a bite of the red bean cake she ordered. After tasting it, she immediately gave the shop owner a thumbs up and said, "This is a huge improvement. This is even better than the red bean cake I had at my sister's restaurant."

"Just like it. This is a secret recipe created by our family. My wife is the founder of this secret recipe."

"Wow, that's amazing."

"Yes, look, that's my wife. She's in charge of the accounts in the back and she doesn't show up very often."

Lin Meiqi leaned over to take a look and saw a middle-aged woman sitting near the kitchen. She was smiling and a little plump, but looked quite wealthy and had the potential to bring good luck to her husband.

"Boss, you are so lucky to have a good wife. Your business will flourish!"

After dinner, Lin Meiqi said goodbye to her colleagues and returned to Ningyuan No. 1.

There was a loud "crack" of thunder and she looked out the window.

The dark night suddenly became as bright as day, and heavy rain began to fall, making the stuffy air feel a lot cooler.

It has rained quite a lot recently.

Lin Meiqi turned off the TV and prepared to go to bed.

Suddenly, the phone rang. She went forward to answer it. As soon as she picked up the receiver, Feng Charlie's voice came.

"There's another victim, please come to the scene!"

Lin Meiqi got the address, which was Gu Mingxuan’s old house. The victim was Gu Mingxuan's second son, who was one of the suspects they suspected.

He was under police surveillance, but unexpectedly he was killed here.

Lin Meiqi frowned, feeling a little puzzled. Before she had time to think about it, she heard Feng Charlie say, "Remember to bring an umbrella, and wear thicker clothes."

Lin Meiqi said, "Oh," "I see."

After hanging up the phone, she thought that Feng Charlie was probably worried that her cold would delay the progress of the serious crime team.

Lin Meiqi reached out and took an umbrella, opened it at the door and saw that it was a flower umbrella with various large flowers printed on it, red and green. It looked like a gift from some supermarket. It was not serious at all, but rather a bit funny.

But there is no other way, this is the only umbrella I have at home.

It's hard to get a taxi on a rainy day.

Lin Meiqi waited for a while, but couldn't get a taxi, so she had to ride a bicycle.

I held the handlebars with my right hand and held the umbrella with my left, but it was difficult to support myself like this. After a while, the umbrella tilted and the rain fell on her coat. Fortunately, her coat was waterproof, otherwise she would have caught a cold.

However, before she had been riding for 10 minutes, Lin Meiqi saw a car coming from a distance that looked very familiar.

The car stopped in front of Lin Meiqi, and it turned out to be Charlie Feng.

Charlie Feng held a black umbrella and opened the back seat for her: "Come up quickly, I know it's inconvenient to take a taxi where you are."

"How do you know I want to ride this route?" Lin Meiqi was curious.

"It's rainy and muddy, and this road is the flattest," replied Charlie Feng.

He actually guessed it. Lin Meiqi pouted: "But what about my bicycle?"

"Open the trunk and put the car in. It should stick out a little bit, judging by the size. It's okay."

Feng Charlie got in the car and drove to the scene: "By the way, I have brought your forensic laboratory tool box for you."

Feng Charlie's considerations are really comprehensive, Lin Meiqi couldn't help but sigh.

20 minutes later, Charlie Feng's car stopped in front of the old house.

There is an alley behind the old house. Turning left and right is where the victim was lying.

Charlie Feng held an umbrella and walked in with Lin Meiqi: "It's hard to drive in this place. The murderer is really brave to commit the crime next to his own home."

Lin Meiqi thought so and walked forward.

Liang Yifeng, He Wanyi and others have already arrived at the scene. When they saw Lin Meiqi coming over, Liang Yifeng was obviously a little worried: "Will you catch a cold wearing this?"

"It's okay. I'm not cold at all now."

Lin Meiqi said, took the toolbox from Feng Charlie, and walked towards the corpse.

Feng Charlie held the black umbrella above her head. It was big and wide, and it steadily shielded her from the rain. Lin Meiqi inexplicably felt a sense of security.

Lin Meiqi lowered her head to check the fatal wound on the body. The wound was obvious, a pair of scissors was stuck directly into the chest.

The front end of the scissors is very sharp, and the scissors head alone is nearly 20 centimeters long, enough to pierce the heart.

The victim, Gu Kaichuan, was holding an umbrella in her right hand, but when she fell to the ground after being stabbed, the umbrella flew far away.

He was wearing a dark brown woolen coat, probably because it was raining so he wore it thicker. But the clothes inside were very thought-provoking, they were a silk pajamas, and he was wearing pajamas under his outer pants.

Lin Meiqi speculated about what might have happened at the scene.

"It's very strange. It must be someone he knows who committed the crime, and he was completely off guard. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come out to meet people on a rainy night, and even quietly avoided the people we police had set up to monitor him."

"Yes, because of the rain and poor visibility, we were squatting at the door and didn't see him come out from the main entrance at all. Maybe there is a small door at the back of the old house and he could go out through it." said the police officer who had been monitoring nearby all day.

"He went out in the heavy rain, and he only wore a layer of clothes over his pajamas. He seemed to be someone who didn't need to be greeted by a suit and tie. However, because he was completely defenseless when facing that person, he actually faced that person directly and was stabbed in the chest with scissors. It happened face to face."

Feng Charlie nodded: "The rain also happened to be conducive to his crime. The fingerprints and footprints should have been washed away completely."

"Yes." Lin Meiqi nodded.

"I'm afraid we won't find anything. This type of scissors is very common among tool scissors and can be found in hardware stores everywhere. It seems that our clues have been cut off again."

"Because of Gu Kaichuan's death, we may have to re-examine the direction of our previous inferences."

After a preliminary examination, the victim was put into a body bag and taken away by police officers. He needed to be returned to the autopsy room for further examination.

Now the police officers have to seize the evidence near the old house as soon as possible. Although there are traces of erosion by rain, if there are footprints or dropped objects within a certain distance, they must be seized as soon as possible.

Everyone was holding umbrellas in the rain, and Liang Yifeng was responsible for investigating the external environment.

Charlie Feng entered through the main gate of the old house with Lin Meiqi and He Wanyi. There were already police officers trying to comfort Liu Yanbing, but she was still howling and lying on the sofa with her eyes swollen like walnuts.

"Why? I don't understand why I have to face such things one after another. What sin did I commit in my previous life? A-Chuan is such a good boy, how could he offend anyone?"

Feng Charlie stood in front of Liu Yanbing and said, "My condolences."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yanbing jumped up, grabbed Feng Charlie's clothes and shook him madly: "Sir, I beg you, please catch the murderer quickly! Otherwise, Gu Mingxuan and Gu Kaichuan will die with regrets!"

"We will," said Charlie Feng firmly.

"But didn't I tell you not to go out recently? Why did he leave the old house on his own?"

Liu Yanbing took the handkerchief handed to her by the female police officer and wiped her tears: "I, I don't know either. This child is usually very well behaved. He does whatever I ask him to do. Mingxuan's incident was also a blow to the child. He stayed at home every day and was depressed. I was afraid that he would delay his studies, so I tried to persuade him. But no one expected that he would suddenly have such a thing. If I had known, I would never allow such a thing to happen."

"Have you noticed any changes in Gu Kaichuan recently? The person you met tonight must have a good relationship with him. Didn't he mention it to you?" Feng Charlie asked.

Liu Yanbing shook her head in confusion and sat down on the sofa dejectedly: "Strange, nothing strange, oh, but he told me not to be sad, he said maybe fate will favor us next time."

"Favor? What exactly is it? Did he say it?" Feng Charlie asked.

"No, I asked him, but he was very mysterious and didn't say anything else. I should have been more careful at that time. Could he have been deceived by someone outside?" Liu Yanbing said.

"Who does Gu Kaichuan interact with more often?" Feng Charlie continued to ask.

"He hasn't had much contact with his classmates during this vacation. He spends most of his time at home, mainly accompanying me. He is not the kind of person who hangs out with others. He has never liked to play with people of his age since he was a child. He likes to stay at home. I go to the street with him, have a meal, buy clothes for him and so on. As for who he knows, there are probably not many people he has long-term contact with. They are just his childhood classmates. We live nearby and get together occasionally. As for acquaintances, they may be classmates." Liu Yanbing replied.

He is just his classmate, how could he have any connection with his father Gu Mingxuan?

Feng Charlie thought about it and felt that he probably couldn't ask anything.

Since Gu Kaichuan insisted on hiding it from Liu Yanbing first, she would definitely not let her know in advance.

What Liu Yanbing knew was probably not the person who asked him out today.

But this is just a guess. It's too late now and I can't visit his classmates. I can only assign tasks early tomorrow morning and let everyone take action.

The police officers checked here and especially secured evidence in Gu Kaichuan's room. They found nothing unusual and there were only traces of his movements in the room.

"Is there a back door in the old house?" Feng Charlie asked Liu Yanbing.

Liu Yanbing nodded: "The back door is a very small door, and it is always locked, but the housekeeper has the key. He probably asked the housekeeper for the key to go out."

Feng Charlie looked at the butler, who stood aside and nodded.

"The second young master came to me and asked for the key to the back door. He took it from me two days ago. He said something happened at home and the police might send someone to monitor him. He didn't like being watched every move when he went out of the front door to do things, so he said he would leave from the back."

I didn’t expect that Gu Kaichuan had a strong anti-reconnaissance awareness.

Feng Charlie rubbed his chin with his fingers and thought for a moment: "Okay, take me to have a look."

The butler took Feng Charlie along the path from the backyard to the back door. Sure enough, the door was open and the key was still in the outside door. It seems that he is quite confident about the identity of the visitor.

There were muddy footprints on the ground because of passing through the backyard. Because of the trees, the footprints were not completely covered. It could be seen that Gu Kaichuan scratched himself at the back door. Although he did not fall, the footprints left a mark.

"Okay, I understand."

Feng Charlie left the old house and gathered the police officers, "After securing the evidence, go back first and continue tomorrow."

"Okay." Everyone said.

"Everyone go back and have a good sleep. Be alert tomorrow as we have many places to visit."

Then, he turned to look at Lin Meiqi, "It looks like the rain won't stop for a while, let's go, get in the car and I'll take you back."

"It's okay. I'm not in a hurry to go home. Sergeant, take the bicycle out of the trunk and I can ride it."

"No, it's too late. It's risky to go back to the Kowloon Walled City. I'll take you downstairs and watch you go upstairs."

Seeing that Charlie Feng was so tough, Lin Meiqi had no choice but to agree.
