Chapter 44: Tearing Off the Mask (I)
No. 588 Taihe Road.
It was exactly eight o'clock in the morning when Xia Beibei rushed to the scene.
After receiving the call, she ran out immediately, still wearing pajamas, slippers on her feet, and her hair messy on her shoulders. When she squeezed into the crowd, she was stopped by a policeman.
you……"
The policeman thought she was just a crowd pleaser and drove her out with a sullen look on his face. But as soon as he opened his mouth, Xia Beibei pushed him away and ran forward.
The policeman's face changed and he was about to chase after him. Yang Lin heard the noise and looked over here, and quickly made a gesture to him.
"Our own people"
Gao Bochuan walked out of the corridor with handcuffs on his hands, followed by Shen Yunfei and another young criminal policeman. Xia Beibei ran over in slippers, her eyes red, and her hand holding Gao Bochuan's was shaking non-stop.
"Boss, I...I should have followed you last night. I'm sorry. I was too impatient. I should have realized earlier that there was something wrong with what Mo Tan said last night. He seemed to know that he was going to die. They set a trap for you."
There was sob in her voice and her panicked expression showed obvious helplessness and annoyance. Gao Bochuan glanced at Shen Yunfei, and Shen Yunfei put his arm around the young criminal police's shoulder and walked a few steps to the side.
After everyone left, Gao Bochuan raised his hands and put them around Xia Beibei's neck, helped her tidy up her messy hair, then held her in his arms, resting his head on her shoulder, his voice sounding a little tired.
"I sent you back at 11 o'clock last night, and arrived here at 11:30. We drank until 2 o'clock in the morning, and then I fell asleep somehow. When I woke up, there was a fruit knife stuck in Mo Tan's chest, and his body was cold. I don't know what happened, but..."
He paused, then put his mouth close to Xia Beibei's ear and said something. Xia Beibei's expression changed again and again, in shock and disbelief.
"Boss...Boss...this...is impossible...it's impossible..."
Gao Bochuan took his hand off her neck, touched her head, and said in a low voice:
"This is just my guess. Don't tell anyone yet. You can investigate secretly. The information is in my computer. The computer password is your birthday. Beibei, I'm fine. Don't panic. I believe you."
After Gao Bochuan was taken away, Xia Beibei stood there for a while before following Yang Lin towards the stairs.
"Gu Ding has seen the body. The sharp object pierced the chest, causing the left ventricle to rupture and death from blood loss. The time of death was around four in the morning. The technical team investigated the scene and did not extract any valuable traces. The only handprints and footprints were from the boss and Mo Tan."
Xia Beibei rubbed her temples. It sounded like the usual cautious style of the Sun Organization. Yang Lin handed her a bottle of mineral water and continued:
"The most special thing about this case is that there are no resistance or restraint injuries on Mo Tan's body, not even a scratch, which means that he did not resist at all during the whole process. It is very likely that the crime was committed by an acquaintance."
"According to the current evidence, the boss and he were drinking, and they had a verbal conflict, and then the boss killed Mo Tan."
On the way, Yang Lin picked out a few important things and briefly explained the situation to Xia Beibei. Xia Beibei was silent for a while, and then directly asked the question that concerned her most.
"Who called the police."
Yang Lin said: "Mo Tan's sister, Mo Lin."
While Mo Tan was back home, the two elders of the Mo family discussed and decided to take Mo Tan and his sister back to their hometown today. They had already agreed in advance to set off at seven in the morning.
As it was almost seven o'clock, Mo Tan still hadn't come, and no one answered the phone, so the two elders asked Mo Lin to come and take a look.
Maureen arrived at around 7:10, and after searching for a while she couldn't find him. Finally she opened the study door and saw Mo Tan lying in a pool of blood with a knife in his chest, and Gao Bochuan lying unconscious on the sofa.
She was so frightened that she called her parents first, then called Gao Bochuan's parents, and then called the police.
The suspect was Gao Bochuan. This piece of news was like a bomb, which soon caused an uproar in the Yun City Public Security System. The bureau immediately set up a special task force, with Deputy Director Dong Zhan in charge of criminal investigation as the team leader.
Director Zhou Mingwei immediately mobilized the best criminal investigation experts and the most capable search force in the criminal police team in the bureau, and also mobilized the best forensic doctors in the bureau to participate in this case.
When Xia Beibei was going upstairs, she met Dong Zhan. She stepped back a few steps and went downstairs again, making way for him. "Director Dong."
Xia Beibei didn't have a good impression of Dong Zhan, because Dong Zhan was a sinister person who loved to take credit for others' work. He was good at flattery and using shady tricks. Since Gao Bochuan was highly appreciated by the leaders in the bureau, Xia Beibei had done many things to trip up Gao Bochuan.
Dong Zhan was talking to an old criminal policeman next to him. He looked up and saw Xia Beibei's unkempt appearance, and scolded her with a stern face.
"Why are you coming here in your pajamas? That's so disrespectful!"
Xia Beibei was about to speak when a group of people came down from upstairs. Coincidentally, she knew all of them. In addition to Lin Qi, there were people from the Gao and Mo families, Mo Tan's parents and Mo Lin, as well as Gao Bochuan's parents.
Everyone had a strange expression, and their faces were all pale and gloomy. Lin Qi called Dong Zhan "Director Dong", then moved closer to Xia Beibei and said in a low voice:
"The two families just had a huge quarrel. The scene was so scary. It's the first time I've seen two rich ladies get mad. Tsk tsk, it's a pity that you didn't see it, Mr. Bei. They...ah, why did you come here dressed like this?"
Lin Qi finally saw Xia Beibei's pajamas and was startled. Xia Beibei didn't have time to deal with her. Mo Tan was dead and the suspect was Gao Bochuan. Even if the relationship between the Gao and Mo families was good, it was normal for the Mo family to make a fuss now that their son was dead.
She turned to look at Dong Zhan and was about to talk to him when her arm was suddenly pulled hard by someone and she was caught off guard and slapped in the face.
"Xia Beibei! It's you, right? You live with Bochuan, and you should have been together last night. Did Zhou Xun find out about you and Bochuan, so you killed my brother and framed Bochuan on purpose, so that you can be the director's daughter-in-law, right?"
Maureen had a ferocious look on her face. After she finished cursing, she turned to Dong Zhan and said, "You are their leader, right? You don't have to investigate. The murderer is Xia Beibei. She killed my brother!"
Xia Beibei was in a mess and didn't notice her at all, so she was caught off guard and was slapped in the face. After she came to her senses, she covered her face, looked at the people around her, and resisted the urge to slap back.
After everyone around reacted, Yang Lin immediately protected Xia Beibei behind him. Lin Qi pointed at Mo Lin angrily and said:
"Ms. Mo, are you okay? You were the one who called the police. You were also the first person to discover the body. You are also the suspect. Which eye of yours saw Beibei kill someone?"
Lin Qi retorted fiercely, and Mo Lin was so angry that her eyes turned red. She screamed, "It's her..."
"Maureen!"
Father Mo spoke up to stop them. Father Gao came over and said to Mo Lin and her daughter:
"Okay, the police are investigating the case, let's not make things more complicated."
Father Gao spoke. Although Father Mo's face looked ugly, he didn't say anything in the end. He dragged his crying and making trouble-making wife and daughter away. Father Gao patted Dong Zhan on the shoulder.
"Boss, please take care of Bochuan's affairs."
Dong Zhan's expression was somewhat intriguing. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, leader. I will do my best."
Father Gao glanced at him, then walked to Xia Beibei's side and deliberately lowered his voice, "Officer Xia, I am not allowed to ask about this matter due to my identity. I'll leave Bochuan's matter to you."
That cautious tone clearly showed that he didn't trust Dong Zhan.
