Chapter 30
Chapter 30
I don't know how long it took, Qi Shaoshang raised his eyes, and he was reflected in the full-length mirror opposite, with deeply furrowed brows, cyan stubble, and piercing eyes.
After being stunned for a moment, suddenly, his whole body shook!
The placement of this mirror... the missing candle holder... the half-open balcony door...
And that Browning that never showed up...
Is it...? !
With the splicing of evidence, a terrible idea gathered in his mind, his legs began to tremble, and he could hardly support his whole body, he subconsciously raised his hand, supported the wall beside him, and took several deep breaths .
Shaking your head, no, it can't be like this...
He almost fled out of the palace, and finally looked back at the bedroom on the second floor where the crime happened, and pinched his palm fiercely.
When he drove to the main road in a daze, only to find that it was already rush hour outside and the traffic was busy, he squeezed the steering wheel tightly, and his lips were drawn into a line.
When he returned to the office, Gu Xichao was sitting at the table having breakfast, and when he saw Qi Shaoshang open the door, he seemed surprised for a moment, but then he realized that something was wrong with this lion-like man today.
He stood up, walked up to Qi Shaoshang and looked at it steadily, his steps were heavy, his face was haggard, and he was bewildered.
So he concluded: "Case solved?"
With this casual question, Qi Shaoshang suddenly raised his head, his eyes locked like a sword, looking at that calm face, he suddenly remembered the day when the crime happened, Xi Chao said:
"Mu Jiuping doesn't know that you know Wuqing, right? At this time, it's better not to cause trouble for Wuqing."
"Of course not. Isn't it?"
His hands tightly clamped Gu Xichao's arms, shaking his body crazily, and asked almost collapsed: "You always knew that! Didn't you!"
There was an unpredictable smile on Gu Xichao's lips, and he praised: "Not bad, Detective Qi, faster than I thought."
Qi Shaoshang was taken aback: "Could it be that you also..."
He felt a chill creeping up from the soles of his feet, so that his teeth were chattering, his fingers squeezed tighter and tighter, his big bright eyes fixed on Gu Xichao, and he yelled frantically: "Do you know what you are doing? !"
Gu Xichao's arm was painfully pinched by him, so he broke free from Qi Shaoshang's restraint, and sat down with folded arms, looking calm and willing to hear about it.
Qi Shaoshang took a deep breath, trying to stabilize his flustered heart, his already numb hands were covered with sweat.
In order to prove that he was still the calm and meticulous detective, he took a step forward, and then began to peel off the thick veil of the murder case.
Even though Gu Xichao was the only one sitting in the audience.
"Zhao Huan looks like a normal person, but he is actually a pervert with mental illness. Because of Cai Jing's case, he got to know Wuqing, and he was moved by evil thoughts, and he deliberately wanted to get him. Half a year ago, he When Wuqing is unprepared, he strikes..." Qi Shaoshang's throat tightened, "In the past six months, Wuqing's physical and mental conditions have not been very good, and I'm afraid it has something to do with Zhao Huan."
At that time, Gu Xichao picked people up from the palace, and after hearing everything, they could not wait to beat Zhao Huan to ashes, but they were ruthlessly stopped. At the same time, they were worried that if Qi Shaoshang found out about this matter, they would definitely rush into the blood The head did something irreversible, so I decided not to tell him.
It wasn't until today that Qi Shaoshang learned about that insane matter from Zhao Huan's close servant.It shows that Gu Xichao and Wuqing's words are strict.
"Zhao Huan didn't kill him ruthlessly because his selfish desires won't be satisfied just this time, and the same thing will definitely happen in the future..." Qi Shaoshang took another step forward, his bright eyes in the past are now Very bleak, "Wuqing is not a person who is resigned to fate, and Zhao Huan has a blood feud with him."
"Four days ago, Wuqing was summoned by Zhao Huan to enter the palace again. It was an opportunity when the autumn rain continued outside. From 05:30 a.m. to 1903:[-], Wuqing used the Browning M[-] to kill Zhao Huan who was defenseless, because the room The sound insulation effect is very good, and there is no need to worry about someone hearing the gunshots breaking in, which gives enough opportunities to ruthlessly create the scene and process evidence. He planned for half a year just for this hit, and at the same time, in order to disturb the sight of the police handling the case, the first Once he got rid of the suspicion, he designed himself to be included in the ranks of the victims."
Qi Shaoshang lowered his head slightly, staring at Gu Xichao who was sitting on the sofa, but Gu Xichao responded with a standard smile, never saying a word to the detective's one-man show.
"It's true that the guns, balcony doors and curtains at the scene were arranged ruthlessly by Ren Yuan to frame the blame, but I was wrong about one thing. When Ren Yuan and the others entered the room, the lights were already on. Because in Zhao Huan's bedroom , facing the balcony door, there is a large vertical mirror. Only when the light is on and the mirror is ruthlessly facing away, can you use it to accurately shoot from behind yourself. If you choose the right angle, you can reach the target without harming your life. The effect of being murdered. As for the Browning used as the murder weapon... a pair of enamel clock candlesticks are missing in the room. Ruthless can tie them with a long string and hang them outside the balcony, and the other end of the string is tied to the gun. , at the moment when he was seriously injured and fell into a coma, and the gun fell out of his hand, the heavy gilded copper candlestick could drag the gun down the stairs and landed in the corner downstairs. As for later, when the police searched the scene of the crime , and did not find it near this building..."
Speaking of this, Qi Shaoshang took another step towards Gu Xichao's direction, his eyes were gloomy but very sure, "It's because you took it away."
Gu Xichao's diamond lips raised a slight arc, very similar to the mocking smile he often hangs on his face, but he still didn't speak.
Qi Shaoshang continued: "I didn't know it at first, but your reaction when you found out that I solved the case just now, and your attitude towards ruthlessness a few days ago, let me figure out this last problem."
"The reason why Wuqing chooses the same Browning|||gun is probably because it is convenient for you to carry the weapon into the palace in Zhao Huan's name. There are also footprints on the balcony. I originally thought it was Wuqing. , but now it seems that the person who made the pair of shoe prints should be you. Tie the pair of muddy men's shoes to one end of a long stick, and stretch it down from the balcony on the third floor directly above the balcony of the room where the crime occurred, and you are done. It's another smokescreen."
Gu Xichao remained silent for a long time, and kept looking at Qi Shaoshang with the tip of her chuckling eyes.
Qi Shaoshang didn't move either, and stared at him with frowned eyebrows, but shouted in his heart: "Contradict me! Xi Chao! Say a word I said is wrong! Say it!"
Gu Xichao's indifferent attitude and Qi Shaoshang's serious expression stalemate for a long time, only to see Gu Xichao slowly raised his hand and clapped his hands a few times.
In the silent living room, these applause seemed particularly abrupt.
With their tacit understanding in this life, no one needs to say more.
Qi Shaoshang didn't know how he dragged his heavy legs into the room. He locked himself in the bedroom, and he probably had a lot of things to think about.
Gu Xichao looked at the closed door, smiled on his sharp eyebrows, took out his phone and sent an email.
That night, a post quietly appeared on the most popular forum nowadays, and it ignited public opinion overnight.
The post reproduced Detective Qi's reasoning, only hiding Gu Xichao's role as an "accomplice" in this case.
When Qi Shaoshang and Mu Jiuping talked on the phone in the early morning, they had already browsed through this post.
"Boss, is it possible that this gossip version is talking about? Ruthless is the murderer?!"
Qi Shaoshang squeezed the phone tightly, his expression was very bad, but his voice pretended to be relaxed: "It seems quite reasonable."
Look, reasonable.
He didn't stop talking.
"I KAO, you don't know, the director scolded us for this post this morning! The case we couldn't solve was solved by a writer like this?"
Qi Shaoshang looked at the paragraphs of text, and it was clearly said from his own mouth yesterday, and his mood was very complicated.But before He Xichao asked about the layout of the chess game, he had to put smoke bombs on the police: "Old Ba, look, many details mentioned in this post are undisclosed, do you think it might be your agency?" Is there an expert hiding inside?"
"If there is a real expert, just report to the director directly, why are you wearing a vest and shooting a gun in another place to make a fool of yourself?!" Mu Jiuping complained endlessly.
Qi Shaoshang frowned: "What do you mean?"
"After this post became popular, we quickly checked the IP, only to find that the posting address of each floor is in a different state! What the hell!"
This is indeed Gu Xichao's cautious style.
"You don't want to expose your identity and cause trouble for yourself. All the great gods on the Internet are like this." Qi Shaoshang didn't have the mood to pick up the phone anymore, he couldn't wait to talk to Gu Xichao.
But Mu Jiuping refused to let go: "Boss, don't tell me that you were persuaded by it! I pointed at you to stand up and refute it fiercely! Otherwise, our police department will lose all face!"
How should he refute himself?
Qi Shaoshang felt bitter, so he hung up the phone after a few perfunctory words.
Taking a deep breath, he stood up and walked out of the room.
Gu Xichao was still sitting on the sofa, using the tablet in his hand.
As the man behind today's headlines, is he admiring his own masterpiece?
Qi Shaoshang took two steps closer: "Xi Chao, I..."
Having not slept for two consecutive nights, Qi Shaoshang's eyes were black and blue, and Gu Xichao looked at him tired and dazed.
Yes, at a loss.
One is his close friend and the other is his lover. Not only were they involved in politics, but they also became the instigators of this turmoil.
He wasn't sure what role Ruqing played in Cai Jing's case before, killing people directly?Indirect killing?Or a death witness?Psychologically, this can still be self-comforting.
Later Zhao Huan died, and when he solved the mystery, he broke out in cold sweat.The calmness that a detective should have had long since been forgotten by him. On the way back yesterday, he had almost figured out how to divert the police's attention away from the real murderer, ruthless.
However, this morning, a post disrupted all his plans.
Gu Xichao looked at his tangled bun face, how could he not know what he was thinking, he tapped the iPad a few times, and brought up a document for him: "I know you want to ask why, here is the answer .”
When Qi Shaoshang took it over, it was a ruthless physical examination report and diagnosis certificate:
Multiple organ failure, chronic anemia, and less than two years to live.
His hands trembled a little, and his voice trembled a little.
"This is...? You hacked into Ruthless Mailbox?"
Gu Xichao sat with folded arms: "No, you should see it."
Qi Shaoshang stood there, his legs were stiff and he couldn't move.
"I'm sorry, Shaoshang." Gu Xichao actually apologized. At this time, it's time to tell everything, "A person who is as silent as Wuqing will only bury many things in his heart and bring them to the grave. After Cai Jing died, I Find him, force me to intervene in his plan, and do my best to help him accomplish his final goal."
"So, you already knew that Cai Jing's death was ruthless?"
Gu Xichao looked back at him, and chuckled: "Don't you know it too? It's just that you haven't been willing to admit it."
After a pause, he said, "Everything should have ended the moment Zhao Huan died. Although there are a lot of arrangements, ruthless is not someone who dares to be unrecognizable. If the case is not solved for a day, he will be harassed by the police." There will be no peace for a day. Now that you have solved the riddle, I will go along with the flow and announce the truth, and I only hope that he can spend his last days peacefully."
Qi Shaoshang supported the table, his lips tightly pursed into a line.I just feel depressed and can't get rid of it.After a while, he asked in a hoarse voice: "Is this also in your and Wuqing's plan?"
Gu Xichao shook his head: "Wuqing doesn't know."
The more Qi Shaoshang thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong: "You know, once the police station confirms that this is the truth, can the palace accommodate the rest of your life ruthlessly?! You are gambling!"
But Gu Xichao said: "Don't forget Fang Yingkan, it's been five days since the case happened, and he will naturally settle the matter caused by his own boyfriend."
The author has something to say: Finally, the case is solved~
