Chapter 85

Forensic Center.

"The deceased did not have any external injuries. His body was in the shape of a fist due to the high degree of combustion and carbonization. The respiratory tract was severely burned, and the lungs were obviously hemorrhage and edema." In the office, Forensic Doctor Zhao, who was in charge of autopsy on the victims of the fire, looked at Wang seriously. Howe said. "I just tested his gastric juice and heart blood, and found that the alcohol concentration in his blood was as high as 0.19, with the possibility of temporary alcohol poisoning. The deceased was burned before his death. Based on the scene, I preliminarily determined that it was an accidental death."

Wang Hao's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked, "Is there no possibility of homicide?"

Zhao Gang shook his head and said, "At least no trace of homicide was found on the body."

"Has the identity of the murderer been confirmed?" Wang Hao asked again.

Zhao Gang said: "The body has not been claimed. I have asked Xiao Chen to do a DNA test. I hope to find matching information in the database."

Wang Hao leaned on the chair, his expression gradually showing a trace of fatigue.

Zhao Gang asked: "What's the matter, this person is very important to you?"

"You also know about the case on National Highway 235. I think the area where the prisoner usually moves is in the area where the fire broke out." Wang Hao said.

"So you think it was the prisoner who died?"

Wang Hao shook his head: "I'm not sure, I won't know until your appraisal report comes out."

Zhao Gang patted Wang Hao on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, I will contact you as soon as the report comes out."

Wang Hao had no choice but to return to the criminal police detachment with Li Liang and wait for news.It wasn't until late at night that they waited for the deceased's information faxed by the Forensic Medicine Center.

"Zhang Daxin, male, age 46, height 177.5, only son, unmarried, both parents dead, six years ago for robbery | The house at No. 176 in Hutong Lane, South Third Street, West District, worked as a purchaser at Mingde Pharmacy, No. 84, South Fourth Street, West District until his death..."

Wang Hao took a deep puff of his cigarette and fell into deep thought.Working as a purchaser in a pharmacy shows that this person has channels to obtain narcotic drugs; he has criminal experience, which is also consistent with the previous inference and Li Mao's confession.Could it be that he and Li Yiran killed Gu Jie together?

"Team Wang? Captain? Wang Hao?" Li Liang called out.

After recovering, Wang Hao looked at Li Liang in front of him.Li Liang said, "What should we do next?"

"Find Li Mao."

In the interrogation room, Li Mao sat in front of Wang Hao again.

"Look at the person in the photo, is it the one you mentioned earlier who appeared in the casino and knew Gu Jie?" Wang Hao said in a deep voice as he pushed the photo in his hand towards Li Mao.

The photo is a photo of Zhang Daxin taken when he was in prison. There are both front and side views. He is thin, with a square face and a messy beard. Rats in the dark make people feel uncomfortable.

Li Mao looked at the photo for a long time, frowning again and again. Finally, he returned the photo to Wang Hao and said, "It should be him."

"Are you [-]% sure?" Wang Hao's eyes were sharp.

Li Mao frowned and said, "The light in the casino was not very good at that time. I only took a rough look, but it still feels very similar."

Wang Hao saw that Li Mao did not speak. Li Mao was stunned by his gaze. After thinking for a while, he added another sentence: "Really, I remember seeing that man at that time. It's the same."

Wang Hao said calmly, picked up the photo, got up and left the interrogation room.

"Hey! Hey! I'll cooperate with you in the investigation, can you be lenient to me!" Behind him, Li Mao shouted.

Back in the office, Wang Hao posted those photos on the whiteboard and put them together with the information collected before.Taking two steps back, he looked at the various photos on the board and fell into deep thought.

If it was really that person who died, Wang Hao did not believe that his death was accidental, because the timing of his death was really too coincidental.

Could it be that Li Yiran killed people to silence her?

"Wang Dui, do you want to call the deceased's son? Maybe he recognizes Zhang Daxin." Seeing Wang Hao's complexion, Li Liang suggested in a low voice.

"It's natural," Wang Hao said, "but don't get too hopeful. Her son has been separated from her for many years. She will secretly investigate her son, but her son may not pay attention to this mother."

"Hey, I hope everything goes well." Li Liang sighed.

***

Early the next morning, Yan Dongting drove Gu Liuguang to the funeral home in the suburbs.When the two arrived at their destination, Tang Qian and Gu De had also arrived.

After entering the funeral parlor, he explained to the staff of the funeral parlor the identity of the accident, and the man led the four of them towards the morgue.

The funeral parlor in the early morning was extremely deserted, only the sound of their marching footsteps could be heard around them, the atmosphere was more or less strange, but the four of them didn't notice it at all, they just felt very heavy.

Because of the freezing of the corpses, the air in the morgue was colder than outside. The staff searched in front of the huge freezer, and finally pulled out one of the compartments, revealing the corpse wrapped in a bag.

"Do you want to see her again?" The staff member turned around and asked without emotion.

Gu Liuguang stood in a daze for a while, then said, "No need."

"Do you want to be buried or cremated?"

With an inaudible sigh, Gu Liuguang said, "Cremation."

"Can't the memorial service be held?"

"not open."

"Okay, go outside with me to sign the agreement, and I'll call someone over to drag the body to the crematorium now."

After signing the consent form for cremation outside the morgue, the car that moved the corpse also came.The crematorium was not far from the funeral home. After the corpse was loaded into the car, the four escorted it all the way to the crematorium.

Unlike the icy coldness of the funeral parlor, even standing far outside the door, one can feel the scorching heat coming from inside.Watching the cold corpse being transported into the furnace by the machine, Gu Liuguang tightly clenched Yan Dongting's hand beside him, feeling that his heart was also being corroded by a fire, and it started to burn and hurt.

She has been in this world for a while, always pursuing some illusory things, good and bad, after 40 years, in the end she didn't take anything away, but was sent into the furnace, turned into a handful of ashes that would fly away at any time .Gu Liuguang thought, if she had known this would be the end, would she still treat their brothers and sisters like that?

Yan Dongting wrapped his hand, brought it to his mouth and gently breathed on the heater, trying to warm his slightly trembling hand.

This world has never known earlier that what happened is what happened, and the only way to make up for it is to let yourself not repeat the same mistakes in the future, right?

When leaving the funeral home, Gu Liuguang had a black urn in his hand.Everyone got into the car and rushed towards Lin Yan Cemetery in the northern suburbs.When the car was driving halfway, it was snowing again.The white snowflakes swirled and hit the car window, were melted into water by the warm glass, fell down along the glass, and finally were frozen into ice by the cold wind whistling outside the window.

Gu Liuguang thinks that the fate of people is probably like this.

Gu Jie's funeral was really simple, there was no auspicious day, and there was no eloquent eulogy, just put the small black box in the tomb, sealed it tightly with a headstone, lit candles and incense, and offered a few flowers Bai Ju, everything is considered complete.

A small fire was burning in the fire pit. Gu Liuguang and Goode squatted beside the fire, silently tore off the magazines and newspapers they found from Gu Jie's residence, and threw them into the fire together with the paper money.

Yan Dongting and Tang Qian held black umbrellas to shield them from the falling snow.

Tongues of fire devoured the colored paper, giving off a burning smell. Watching the paper curl and turn into ashes, Gu Liuguang's eyes showed a rare tenderness towards his mother.

You have kept these things for so long, and now they are all burned to you. If you see Ning Ning when you get there, remember to show her and tell her that her dearest brother is doing well now and has become her favorite appearance. .Let's just write off the grievances and grievances between us for so many years.I will help you catch the person who harmed you. If there is an afterlife, I hope we will never meet again and never owe each other again.

It wasn't until the last piece of paper was reduced to ashes that the two stood up.Reaching out to support Gu Liuguang's shaky body, Yan Dongting asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

Gu Liuguang nodded and looked at the tombstone in front of him.

Due to the hasty preparation time, only the four characters "Gu Jie's Tomb" are written on the tombstone, and there is not even a decent photo, which is very similar to her terrible life.

Sighing lightly, Gu Liuguang said, "Let's go."

The four of them took a step forward and walked down the mountain.After passing by Gu Ning's tomb, he stayed for a while.

Putting the bright yellow daisy in front of the tombstone, Gu Liuguang gently touched Gu Ning's smiling face on the tombstone, wanting to say something to her, but finally got up reluctantly and left.

Walking down the long steps of the cemetery, looking at the sky in the distance that was white due to falling snow, Gu Liuguang suddenly called out: "Hello."

Yan Dongting responded softly: "En."

"Have you ever thought about going home and taking a look?"

Tang Qian froze for a moment, then looked at Yan Dongting beside him.The man's expression tightened unexpectedly, and after a while, he asked, "You want me to go back?"

"Just to make sure that person is still alive." Gu Liuguang said, suddenly lowering his voice, "Don't be like me."

Yan Dongting was silent for a while before saying, "Okay."

The corner of Tang Qian's mouth hooked slightly, and he let out a soft sigh in his heart.The only thing that can change this person is Liu Guang.

Stepping out of the cemetery, everyone unexpectedly saw a police car outside and Wang Hao leaning on the car and smoking.

Seeing them, Wang Hao extinguished the cigarette in his hand and walked forward.

"Is it convenient? Find a quiet place to talk."

In a quiet private room of a certain teahouse, Wang Hao sat face to face with Gu Liuguang and others.

"The case made some progress yesterday. We deduced from the details that Li Yiran had at least one other accomplice. We also learned from the owner of the accident car that your mother met a man who had a criminal record a month ago. " Wang Hao said, "We suspect that this man conspired with Li Yiran to kill your mother."

Sure enough, it was exactly as Tang Qian had speculated!Gu Liuguang's expression remained unchanged, and he asked calmly, "Have you found out the identity of this person?"

Wang Hao took out a few photos from his briefcase, as well as the identity certificate sent by the forensic doctor in the early morning, and handed them to Gu Liuguang. "Zha found it, but unfortunately, by the time we found him, he had already died in the fire. I came to you just to ask if you had seen this man and if you knew he was related to you. What kind of contradiction does mother have?"

died?Gu Liuguang took the photos and information suspiciously, quickly read the content on the paper, and looked at the appearance of the people in the photos again and again, frowning tightly.

"I don't know this person."

The expected answer.Wang Hao pursed his lips in disappointment.

Gu Liuguang handed the photo to Yan Dongting beside him, "Have you seen this person?"

"Are you sure this person and Li Yiran conspired to kill Gu Jie?" Yan Dongting looked at Wang Hao and asked in a deep voice, "Have you shown the photo to the owner of the car?"

"Look, he said it should be this person." Wang Hao said.

"How did he die? So timely?"

"The preliminary identification was that he was drunk and accidentally knocked over the wine bottle on the ground. The wine flowed into the socket that was using high power and was burned to death by the fire caused by the short circuit." Wang Hao said, "But I think It's not that simple. As you said, the death was too timely, it was like being extinguished, and the fire should have been deliberately designed to destroy the scene."

There was deathly silence in the private room, and Gu Liuguang and the others were deeply immersed in the fog.

There is indeed a person behind Li Yiran who is helping her. Based on the two car accidents, this person not only has a feud with Gu Jie, but also hates Gu Liuguang and Yan Dongting.They can only think of one person who can meet such conditions, and that is Zeng Kai.However, the police have clearly investigated the identity of that person.

——Zhang Daxin?They had never heard of this person, let alone seen him.Since there is no intersection, why did he instigate Li Yiran to provoke Gu Liuguang and trick him into the car?Or, among the two accidents, the car accident that Gu Liuguang and Goode encountered was really just an accident?

"Officer Wang, what are your plans for the future?" Gu Liuguang asked with a pale face when he came back to his senses.

"Catch Li Yiran as soon as possible. She hasn't been found at any of the major passenger stations. She probably hasn't escaped from the city yet." Wang Hao said, "Next, we will increase our search efforts and try to arrive at the peak of the Spring Festival travel season. Solve the case before, let everyone have a good year with peace of mind."

Taking a deep breath, Gu Liuguang solemnly said, "Thank you for your hard work."

After sending Wang Hao away, Tang Qian stood behind Gu Liuguang, pressed his shoulder reassuringly, and said, "Don't worry, we still have Wang Kun. He should be able to arrive at that person's hometown today. Is that person there?" There, I believe it will be verified soon.”

Two days later, Gu Liuguang did receive some photos from Zeng Kai's hometown from Wang Kun.Some photos were taken in the corridor, and some were taken in the mahjong parlor, but because they were secretly taken, none of them could clearly capture the person's face.Gu Liuguang hadn't seen Zeng Kai for a long time, and he couldn't tell if it was him just by looking at the photos.Wang Kun said that he quietly asked the neighbors in the neighborhood, and they confirmed the identity of the person in the photo.That person was indeed Zeng Kai.

And Feng Yi also found out the whereabouts of the driver who drove Gu Liuguang back then, but that person left the country at the end of last year. If he wanted to find him, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Such a result surprised everyone, and the case, which had already seen a clue, was once again surrounded by layers of fog.Although all clues put Zeng Kai aside, Gu Liuguang's intuition and sense of crisis clearly told Gu Liuguang that everything was not that simple.

As the Spring Festival is approaching, the police have stepped up their search efforts. From time to time, patrol cars pass by on the street. Every corner of the passenger station is equipped with surveillance cameras. The ticket inspectors are all changed into plain clothes, just to catch the extremely one of the possibilities.

In such a tense atmosphere, Gu Liuguang and Goode ushered in the first Spring Festival after swapping bodies.
