【034】 He is the murderer!
Gu Juan and Xi Lang walked down the stairs in silence, and then walked to the school gate in silence. The distance between them, which had been close, seemed to have suddenly widened.
Gu Juan felt a little guilty. Xi Lang was sincere to him, but he had hidden too much from Xi Lang.
"Xi Lang, I don't know what exactly happened. I can only say that my rush back to school was indeed related to Chen Bin's death. Some time ago, I was looking for someone to investigate Chen Bin—Chen Bin's death was too sudden."
Xi Lang frowned.
Gu Juan opened his mouth and then closed it again.
"Just say whatever you want to say." Xi Lang glanced at him.
"You told me to say this," Gu Juan said softly, not realizing his tone was incredibly intimate. "There's a rumor going around school that the surveillance footage of Chen Bin's death was linked to a floating, dark figure. You know a lot of people, could you find a computer expert to get that footage over here for me to review?" He added, "If you can't do it without anyone noticing, forget it."
Xi Lang stopped and looked at him. "Is this matter important to you?"
Gu Juan nodded and said, "I don't understand the technology in this area, otherwise I would do it myself."
Xi Lang said helplessly, "I'll find someone to try."
"I hope it won't cause you any trouble?" Gu Juan asked worriedly.
"No." Xi Lang said, "It's still early. Do you want to stay at school and wait for my news, or go back with me and wait?"
Gu Juan asked: "How long will it take for the results to come out?"
"I'll make a call first." Xi Lang finished the call and said, "My friend is an expert. If there are no accidents, it will only take a few minutes."
Gu Juan said: "Then I will go back with you."
Sitting down in the passenger seat, he took out his watch and said, "Here."
"Are you disgusted by the fact that I used it?" Xi Lang didn't reach out his hand.
Gu Juan put the watch on his wrist and joked, "Such an exquisite watch, you are not afraid that I will be robbed if I wear it."
Xi Lang immediately took the watch back and put it in the drawer. "I'll give you a different brand next time."
Gu Juan laughed and said, "No need."
Xi Lang's friend called soon and said that he had successfully obtained the video and had sent it to Xi Lang's email.
Xi Lang pulled over, took out his phone and opened the email. In addition to the video, there was also a line of text. Xi Lang's friend said that he was sure the video had not been tampered with, and even used an exclamation mark, obviously he was also very surprised by this matter!
Seeing that there really was a figure with its feet off the ground in the video, Xi Lang's expression froze.
Gu Juan looked surprised. Because it was night, the figure was blurry and shrouded in a layer of black mist, but he could still tell that his figure looked very similar to Gu Haojie! People who were not familiar with Gu Haojie might not be able to see it, but he could recognize it. Most importantly, the jade pendant hanging around the black figure's neck was exactly the same as Gu Haojie's. It was said that Liu Guofang had specially requested that jade pendant at Dangwu Mountain, and Gu Haojie had worn it since he was a child and never took it off!
"It's Gu Haojie!"
Xi Lang was surprised. "Is that the cousin you mentioned?"
"Yes..." Gu Juan was still in shock. Gu Haojie had special powers, so he wasn't surprised that he could float. What he couldn't understand was why Gu Haojie would attack Chen Bin. As far as he knew, the two had no connection.
He looked pensive, and Xi Lang didn't bother him. After seeing his expression relax, he spoke, "What are you going to do?"
Gu Juan turned around and looked at him. He didn't show any surprise at all. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Don't you think this is incredible?"
"The world is so big, there are all kinds of strange things." Xi Lang was very calm. "You don't look surprised at all."
It seemed like Gu Haojie was determined to go all the way, and Gu Juan felt he couldn't just leave it alone. However, he didn't intend to expose himself either. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "The murderer didn't leave any clues. No matter how hard the police investigate, it's hard to find Gu Haojie. It's best to draw the police's attention there. If Gu Haojie is innocent, it's fine. But if he's really in danger, it's best to control him as soon as possible. We don't know why he killed Chen Bin yet, and who can say he won't do it again? But... Gu Haojie is probably no longer an ordinary person. Even if the police can confirm that he is the murderer, I doubt they can control him."
"This is not a problem you need to worry about." Xi Lang's words were to the point. He paused and said, "Leave this matter to me. Do you know Gu Haojie's address?" He also hoped to find the murderer as soon as possible, otherwise, Gu Juan would be in danger at school.
Gu Juan told him the address, "What do you want the address for?"
"First, hack into his home computer and get a photo of him." Xi Lang explained briefly and made another call.
Gu Juan sounded like the same person as before.
In less than two minutes, Xi Lang received a text message on his phone with only two words: Done!
By now, the police station should have received two photos that are extremely similar, one of Gu Haojie and the other of the figure that night.
"We don't need to worry about what happens next." Xi Lang changed the subject. "Let's go buy some groceries first. What do you want to eat? Don't you have a refrigerator in your dorm? I'll make some extra food for you to bring to school."
"Okay. You drive ahead. I'll make two calls."
The two calls were to Gu Yinyin and Liu Guang. Gu Juan couldn't tell the truth, so he just told them to be careful of Gu Haojie. After returning to school, he sent two enhanced amulets to Gu Yinyin and Liu Guang, and only then did he feel at ease.
