Chapter 41
He Jiaming said: "It's never too late to report a crime, but it's an old case so it's not easy to collect evidence."
Gu Tanxi frowned: "I don't know now..."
Jiang Youqi brought her a bottle of iced black tea and said, "Don't think too much. Perhaps if we solve this case and figure out what that thing is, the cause of your mother's death will be solved."
After Jiang Youqi's advice, Gu Tanxi suddenly understood.
"Thanks."
Jiang Youqi returned to the point, "Tian Weifeng's statement mentioned that his wife had many mistresses. They were not in harmony but had separate affairs. He himself admitted that he had a lover outside, but the couple did not fall out over it. They both acquiesced to this marriage relationship."
He Jiaming: "Many couples in wealthy families are like this. Once they have money, they all want to find some youth, love, and excitement. Anyway, these are things that their other half can't give them. There are a few names that were provided by Tian Weifeng. I have someone to investigate."
Jiang Youqi: "Any news from the forensic doctor?"
He Jiaming: “Not yet.”
Liu Minyu said, "How about I go and ask?"
"No, don't leave our sight now. The creature in your body may be afraid of our power, so it doesn't dare to come out. If you act alone, it will definitely run away. Where can we catch it then?" Jiang Youqi said, "Just sit next to Xiao Gu and let her watch you."
Gu Tanxi nodded, drank iced black tea, and looked at Liu Minyu.
Liu Minyu was extremely embarrassed. "This is the first time in my life that a beautiful woman has looked at me like this for so long."
Jiang Youqi chuckled: "It feels so good, right?"
Liu Minyu scratched his head: "I'm so embarrassed."
Jiang Youqi looked at him with disdain: "What a waste."
Liu Minyu suddenly had an idea: "I suddenly thought of something."
Jiang Youqi: "You say."
Liu Minyu said, "That thing was inside for so long, but it didn't possess any of you. Why did it possess me the moment I arrived? Is there something special about me?"
Gu Tanxi thought for a moment and said, "When I saw my mother's corpse that year, it crawled out of my mother's body. After Bao Lixia died, this ball appeared in the house. So, who will it possess and who will die in the end?"
"Don't scare me!" Liu Minyu hugged himself with his hands.
He Jiaming asked: "Xiao Gu, how did your mother die?"
Gu Tanxi said: "My elders told me that my mother committed suicide. The police also came to our house at that time and should have confirmed that it was suicide. The elders in my family all said that my mother committed suicide... due to depression. But I was only eight years old at that time. I don't understand much and don't remember much."
Gu Tanxi looked at the rose-red doll on Liu Minyu's head and said, "You must know how my mother died."
Liu Minyu looked up and asked quietly, "Is that thing above my head? Are you talking to it?"
Gu Tanxi looked away. "It emitted a little rose-red color on your head, but it ignored me and didn't talk to me."
Liu Minyu touched his head and asked, "Can I touch it?"
"No, your hand has already passed through it." said Gu Tanxi.
Liu Minyu quickly withdrew his hand, feeling a little scared.
He Jiaming asked curiously: "Then can you see it, can you touch it?"
Gu Tanxi stretched out her hand to try, she could touch the little Q man at home.
But this...
The rose-red little Q-shaped figure dodged just as Gu Tanxi's hand was about to touch it.
He looked at her with a cunning look on his face and laughed.
Gu Tanxi reached out to grab it again.
The little Q man dodged again.
Anyway, just don't let her catch him.
Gu Tanxi gave up.
"Can't catch it."
The rose-red little Q-shaped figure was still grinning smugly.
It doesn't look like a good thing.
But there's nothing we can do about it.
The instrument would explode if it encountered it, and no one dared to use Liu Minyu for testing.
Liu Minyu doesn't look abnormal now.
Just then, Xie Bei and the others arrived.
Everyone gathered together to discuss the case.
Not long after, the forensic autopsy report was delivered.
The cause of death was a fatal knife wound to the chest.
He Jiaming said: "Based on the traces at the scene, it can be inferred that this was committed by an acquaintance. This is the shoe print at the scene. This shoe print is from the deceased. This shoe print followed the deceased in. The shoes were size 44. The two people were very close to each other, walking from the entrance to the living room. There is a shoe print of two people standing face to face.
The two talked here and then had an argument.
There were marks of strangulation on the deceased's neck, and judging by the extent of the bruises, the person intended to kill her."
Jiang Youqi speculated: "After realizing he didn't strangle her to death, he stabbed her to death with a knife?"
Xu Shaolin: "How great is the hatred and resentment?"
Xie Bei: "The shape of this murder weapon is a bit unusual. What kind of knife is this?"
The forensic report had a simulation of the murder weapon based on the wounds, which looked like a small axe shaped like a fan. They rarely used this kind of knife.
Xie Bei showed everyone the picture of the murder weapon.
Everyone was shaking their heads.
"I've never used this kind of knife at home."
Gu Tanxi took it and looked at it, then said, "This looks like a boning knife. I've seen it online. There's a kind of boning knife that looks like this, like a fan and an axe, but it's really rare."
Jiang Youqi took it and looked at it. "I've seen this kind before. It's mostly used for handicrafts and collections. It's more common in grassland ethnic areas. I saw it when I was traveling before. The handle was inlaid with plastic gems. It was quite beautiful."
Xu Shaolin asked: "Has the murder weapon been found at the scene?"
He Jiaming shook his head: "No."
"It seems that this case has nothing to do with murder caused by supernatural powers." Xu Shaolin said.
Jiang Youqi said: "It is related. Look at the last line of the forensic report."
Xu Shaolin took the report and began to read it.
"The residual supernatural power fluctuation index in the deceased's body is as high as 7,000 points. Is it that high?"
"The superpower index reaches 5,000 points, and all of it attacks an ordinary person, which has already achieved a fatal effect. She has 7,000 points in her body, but the fatal injury is not the superpower, but the knife in the heart. Isn't this very strange?" Jiang Youqi questioned.
Xie Bei: "Yeah, it's the first time I've seen you."
Gu Tanxi thought of something and said, "Could it be that the thing has been possessing the deceased, so the deceased will retain its supernatural power index? Now that the thing has entered Brother Liu's body, the supernatural power index of the deceased should gradually decrease."
Jiang Youqi nodded and said to Xu Shaolin, "Have the forensic doctor check for residual supernatural powers every half an hour."
Xu Shaolin: "Okay."
For people with special abilities, even after death, the amount of special abilities they had during their lifetime can still be checked through instruments after death, and this value will not disappear for one to three years.
However, for those killed by supernatural attacks, the index of supernatural power fluctuations left in the body will quickly disappear.
This is the same as the supernatural fluctuations around the crime scene, which will disappear over time.
Gu Tanxi's guess seemed impeccable at this moment.
He Jiaming said, "If it's really as Xiao Gu speculated, then that thing has been in the deceased's body for many years? Xiao Liu hasn't shown any abnormalities from the moment he was there. What do you think that thing does in a person's body? Like a parasite?"
Liu Minyu was sweating profusely: "Don't scare me..."
Xie Bei's imagination was running wild: "Could it be that Brother Liu mutates one day and becomes a master? He could even blow up all the equipment. How amazing would that be?"
Liu Minyu frowned: "Will I explode too?"
Jiang Youqi gently hit Xie Bei on the head with the file bag: "Don't scare him, his legs have been shaking all night."
If Jiang Youqi hadn't said it, Liu Minyu wouldn't have noticed it himself. He grabbed his knees with both hands and pressed them down.
He didn't want to tremble, as it would make him look cowardly, but he was really scared!
Xie Bei smiled evilly and went over to sit with Liu Minyu: "Brother Liu, don't be afraid, we are all here."
Liu Minyu scratched his head, as if he was grabbing something and putting it on Xie Bei's head.
"Here you go, hurry over, hurry over, has he gone over yet?"
Liu Minyu looked at Gu Tanxi.
Gu Tanxi shook his head.
"Still on you."
Liu Minyu covered his face and cried pretending to cry.
Gu Tanxi asked: "Brother Liu, don't you have any special abilities?"
Liu Minyu looked up: "Yeah, I'm just an ordinary person. I'm so unlucky."
Gu Tanxi said, "My mother doesn't have any special powers, the deceased doesn't have any special powers, and neither do you. Could it be that it can only possess people without special powers?"
He Jiaming said: "I don't have any special abilities. I was there at the time, so how come it didn't possess me?"
Gu Tanxi: "That's right..."
"But you are strong." Xie Bei said, "You are full of righteousness, and evil spirits cannot enter your body."
"Hey, what do you mean? Don't I have integrity?" Liu Minyu pushed Xie Bei.
Xie Bei smiled and said, "Yeah, then you are really unlucky."
"Damn... saying that makes me even more unhappy." Liu Minyu rolled his eyes.
He Jiaming said: "Let's not talk about this for now. We have to find the murderer first."
"If it wasn't a person with superpowers who killed the person, it would be easy to investigate, right? The surveillance footage should be able to show who went home with the deceased," said Jiang Youqi.
"This is the deceased's cell phone. Everyone she contacted before the accident is already under investigation. Let me ask." He Jiaming called the subordinate who was responsible for investigating the deceased's social relations.
"How's your investigation going?"
"Captain He, I was just about to tell you. The deceased's recent lover was named Liang Kai. The surveillance footage showed him riding in the deceased's car and returning home with her. Now that Liang Kai can't be contacted, he's likely absconded."
"Do you have Liang Kai's address?"
"have."
"Go to his house immediately and have someone check the surveillance to see where he ran off to."
"good."
After He Jiaming hung up the phone, he said to Jiang Youqi, "I think it's hard to say what the nature of this case is right now. If the murderer has nothing to do with superpowers, then our Criminal Police Brigade will still be investigating. Now we have a suspect. Once I catch him, if he doesn't have superpowers either, I'll handle the rest. You all should go back and rest. It's late. As for that thing in Xiao Liu's body, I can only leave it to you."
"Okay, let's do it this way for now. Xiao Liu and Xiao Gu will stay at my place tonight. Who among you is interested in staying in my big villa?" Jiang Youqi glanced at everyone.
Everyone raised their hands.
Big villa, why not go?
Gu Tanxi knew that Jiang Youqi's family was rich, but he didn't expect them to be so rich.
As soon as she got off the car, she saw the big garden.
A little confused, he asked, "Is this the gate of the community? Can't we drive the car to the gate of the villa?"
Jiang Youqi: "This is the entrance to the villa. You guys go in first. I'll go get some gas."
Xu Shaolin said attentively: "Let me help you fill up the gas tank and let me drive your luxury car."
"Okay, just don't speed and get me fined." Jiang Youqi generously gave the car to Xu Shaolin.
Jiang Youqi led everyone into the villa and said, "Come, take a look at my 80 million villa."
"How much?" Gu Tanxi suddenly woke up.
"Eighty million."
Gu Tanxi was full of envy. Could it be possible that this marriage could last until the end of the term?
"When can I earn 80 million?"
Jiang Youqi: "It's difficult. This is all the inheritance left by my grandfather."
"Boss, stop talking. It hurts my heart." Xie Bei touched his heart. It really hurt.
Gu Tanxi also touched his heart.
"I'm in a bit of pain too."
Jiang Youqi stopped provoking them and encouraged them: "Pick a good day to buy lottery tickets. What if you win the jackpot?"
Qin Jingyuan said slowly: "I can only rely on the lottery to turn things around."
Liu Minyu asked, "How are we going to sleep tonight? I want to share a room with Captain Jiang. I don't dare sleep alone."
Gu Tanxi: "Let's all go together. I want to watch you."
Liu Minyu: "Your words scare me."
Gu Tanxi: "You'll be safe only if I'm watching you. I'm the only one who can see that thing now."
Jiang Youqi: "Then let's sleep on the floor together in the living room."
Xie Bei smiled and said, "It's better to sleep on the floor. You can roll around wherever you want."
Qin Jingyuan: "I'm occupying a leather sofa."
Zhou Yuelong: "Then I want a leather sofa too."
Xie Bei: "You guys make me look so tasteless."
He Hongshu smiled and said, "Don't you have a marble island at home? I'll sleep on it."
Xie Bei: "I'll light three incense sticks for you."
He Hongshu: "Go, go, go."
Everyone talked and laughed as they entered Jiang Youqi's villa.
Although they had been here several times, Xie Bei and the others still couldn't help but scream out "Wow".
Gu Tanxi was so shocked that he opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound.
This is so luxurious!
"This glittering golden TV wall, isn't it really made of gold?"
Jiang Youqi said: "You have a really good eye, it's pure gold."
Xie Bei and He Hongshu immediately ran over and lay on the wall to stick it on.
"How much is this wall worth?"
Jiang Youqi shrugged and said, "I don't know either. The gold left by my grandfather was very cheap before, but now the price has increased quite sharply. In the past, my grandfather's generation regarded the golden wall as a symbol of wealth, and many dignitaries had it at home.
This tradition was passed down by my father.
This wall was built by our elders, and I haven't dug into it to see how thick it is."
Gu Tanxi walked over and touched it. It was the first time in his life that he had touched such a large golden wall.
Jiang Youqi looked at Gu Tanxi, and his little man was already running towards him.
She shook her head proudly in front of Gu Tanxi: "It feels so good, right? Woman!"
Gu Tanxi lost his temper completely. Like Xie Bei and He Hongshu, he leaned against the wall and said, "It's so cool..."
Jiang Youqi looked at Gu Tanxi, whose mood had improved. For some reason, for a moment, he felt as if he had telepathy with her.
