There are two more people. Let’s talk about this “Mr. Shi” first.
Shi Jun is Su Yuanhang's friend. The two have been friends since childhood and even went to college together. It can be said that the relationship between the two is very close.
It is no exaggeration to say that Shi Jun and Su Yuanhang were almost wearing the same pants in college.
When I asked about Shi Jun, Su Yuanhang kept shaking his head and said that Shi Jun would never harm him.
He knew Shi Jun and knew that Shi Jun was a timid person. When Su Yuanhang got into a fight in college, Shi Jun would not help but try to stop the fight.
In Su Yuanhang's heart, Shi Jun was like his own brother and would never harm him.
"Well then! Since you trust this Mr. Shi so much, I won't ask any more questions for now."
I shrank my neck and said with a smile.
In fact, I am not doubting Mr. Shi, I am doubting human nature. Sometimes, people who don’t look good will not do bad things.
Often, some people who look simple and honest are more terrible when they do bad things. Someone who doesn't even dare to kill a chicken may kill someone one day. It's unknown.
So we can’t come to a conclusion directly about the matter itself.
There is one last suspect, Gong Wenbin.
Su Yuanhang’s wife is Gong Wenshu. Gong Wenshu and Gong Wenbin are siblings.
When Gong Wenbin just graduated from college, he lived in Su Yuanhang's home for a while, but later he moved out.
Su Yuanhang himself said that he treated Gong Wenbin well, and the relationship between the two of them was like that of relatives as well as friends, and they got along very well.
A year ago, Gong Wenbin had been looking for a job, and Su Yuanhang helped him a lot. Although Gong Wenbin did not find a satisfactory job in the end, he was very grateful to Su Yuanhang.
Su Yuanhang felt that Gong Wenbin could not possibly harm him.
Besides, there is the relationship with Gong Wenshu. After all, the two are relatives.
I looked at the male ghost Su Yuanhang who couldn't explain what was going on, curled my lips and said, "So, you have good relationships with people, and those three people won't hurt you."
Su Yuanhang thought for a moment and said, "That's what I think."
Damn it, it looks like I can’t get any useful information from Su Yuanhang.
Soon, sirens sounded outside the garbage dump. I knew it was Captain Ding Yuanding.
"Okay, get into the soul barrel. The police are here."
I turned to the male ghost Su Yuanhang and gave an order.
Su Yuanhang's soul trembled, turned into ghost energy, and drilled into the soul-collecting bucket on my waist.
Soon, Ding Yuan came towards us with a group of police officers and a forensic doctor in a white coat.
When he saw me, Ding Yuan was looking around, as if he was looking for something.
I frowned slightly and asked, "Captain Ding, what are you looking for?"
Ding Yuan grinned awkwardly at me and Sun Xiaoli, then came close to me and asked me in a low voice: "Master Yang, didn't you say that there was a ghost by your side? Where is the ghost? Why can't I see it?"
When he said this, as if he thought of something, Ding Yuan's gaze fell on Sun Xiaoli.
His Adam's apple trembled, and he asked me, "Could she be the ghost you were talking about?"
I glared at Ding Yuan and said with a curled lip: "Captain Ding, what are you thinking about? The ghost is not here. Look carefully, this girl has a shadow. She is a living person, okay?"
I really can't stand this guy.
After hearing what I said, perhaps to save some face, Ding Yuan straightened his chest and his voice suddenly became deep. He asked me, "Master Yang, where is the body you mentioned? Can you take us over to have a look?"
I nodded and started to lead the way.
Soon, the police
Someone took out the body in the trash can, which was Su Yuanhang's body.
The body was laid flat and lifted onto a blue plastic sheet, and the forensic doctor then came forward to examine it.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ding Yuan pulled me aside and whispered to me, "Master Yang, this person is indeed Su Yuanhang. Didn't you say that Su Yuanhang's ghost led you? Then he should tell you who killed him, right?"
I shrank my neck and said, "I didn't tell you."
Ding Yuan was still a little unconvinced and said, "Master Yang, you have also received the 'Jiangbin City Special Police Officer Certificate' issued by our Director Ma. You can now be said to be a member of our police force. You don't know who the murderer is and don't want to tell us."
Ding Yuan’s words made me a little angry.
I said angrily, "Captain Ding, you can't say that. Yes, I accepted the 'Jiangbin City Specially Employed Police Officer Certificate' issued by your Director Ma, but that was not what I wanted. It was forced upon me by Director Ma."
"But don't worry. Just as you said, I am now an outsider in your criminal police brigade. I won't conceal any crime. You can rest assured about this."
Seeing my gloomy face, Ding Yuan suddenly smiled.
He patted my shoulder and said, "Hey, Master Yang, don't be angry. I was just playing a joke on you to test you. Don't worry, since our Director Ma has specially hired you, I, Ding Yuan, naturally trust you."
"Besides, you are a ghost-catching Taoist priest, and you are very good at dealing with ghosts. Our criminal police brigade lacks useful talents like you."
Although this may sound a bit like flattery, it sounds nice and I like to hear it.
I smiled and told Ding Yuan everything about Su Yuanhang.
After listening to my statement, Ding Yuan held his chin with one hand and began to think.
After a moment, he looked at me and said, "So, the death of Su Yuanhang was most likely something that happened in the bar, and the biggest suspects are the ones who drank with him. Right?"
I nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I mean. So, we need to investigate those people together."
While Ding Yuan and I were talking, a taxi suddenly drove over from outside the cordon in the distance.
The taxi stopped in the distance and two people got out of the car in a hurry, a man and a woman. The man was very young, probably about my age.
The woman is already middle-aged, but she still has fair skin, beautiful eyes, and charm.
Ding Yuan lowered his voice and said to me that the man was Gong Wenbin and the woman was his sister Gong Wenshu.
Unexpectedly, the dull-witted Su Yuanhang actually married such a beautiful wife.
As soon as Gong Wenshu entered the cordon, she ran towards Su Yuanhang's body crying, with a sad and sorrowful expression on her face.
Her tears were like beads that had broken off the string, sliding down her face, ruining her makeup and making it look a little blurry.
On the contrary, Gong Wenbin walked towards us step by step with a sullen face. However, his eyes were red, but no tears fell.
The forensic doctor was performing an autopsy when the police stopped Gong Wenbin and Gong Wenshu.
But Gong Wenshu was too excited and still wanted to rush over to see the body of her husband Su Yuanhang.
Ding Yuan and I walked over.
Ding Yuan said to Gong Wenshu in a serious tone, "Don't shout or scream. The medical examiner is performing an autopsy. Although the deceased is indeed your husband, you cannot interfere with our investigation."
Gong Wenshu's mood became depressed, her legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground.
I noticed that Gong Wenbin, who was standing next to Gong Wenshu,
He glanced at Gong Wenshu with a serious look, disgust revealed in his eyes.
Gong Wenshu was taken aside.
Gong Wenbin came up to Ding Yuan and asked, "Captain Ding, how did my brother-in-law die? Have you found the murderer? If you have, you must tell me. I will not let that bastard go."
I stared at Gong Wenbin with a heavy gaze. The look in his eyes just now when he was looking at Gong Wenshu appeared clearly in front of me again.
I thought to myself, there is a high probability that there is something wrong between Gong Wenshu and Gong Wenbin.
Ding Yuan took Gong Wenbin aside for questioning, and I followed him.
"On the night your brother-in-law disappeared, I heard that four of you went to a bar to drink together, right?" Ding Yuan asked Gong Wenbin.
Gong Wenbin's eyes showed sadness, and he nodded and said, "It's four people, me and my brother-in-law, my brother-in-law's friend Shi Jun, and my brother-in-law's colleague Dao Xiuming."
Ding Yuan nodded and asked, "So, did you encounter any strange things when you were drinking that night? For example, one of the other two people put something in your brother-in-law Su Yuanhang's cup."
Gong Wenbin had a strong ability to understand things. He frowned and suddenly asked Ding Yuan, "Captain Ding, you don't mean to say that my brother-in-law was poisoned to death?!"
When Gong Wenbin said this, I stared at him intently.
I found that his reaction was quite normal and natural.
But it was incredible that he immediately thought of the word "poison" from Ding Yuan's words.
In other words, Gong Wenbin knew that his brother-in-law was poisoned. Therefore, it was easier for him to think of poison.
But under normal circumstances, if Gong Wenbin really poisoned and killed someone, he should have avoided talking about it at this moment, instead of directly stating his guess.
Ding Yuan seemed to have doubts about Gong Wenbin as well, and said in a deep voice: "Maybe your guess is right. However, our forensic doctor is performing an autopsy, and we should soon know how your brother-in-law died."
Gong Wenbin was disappointed when he heard what Ding Yuan said. He said, "I thought you couldn't find out who killed my brother-in-law."
Afterwards, Gong Wenbin recounted what happened that night, but he could not remember many things because he had drunk a lot of alcohol.
Gong Wenbin said that if his sister Gong Wenshu had not reported the case later, he would not have known that his brother-in-law was missing that day. He said that he thought that his brother-in-law had gone straight home that day.
Seeing that he couldn't get any useful information out of Gong Wenbin, Ding Yuan's brows were twisted together and a big wrinkle appeared on his forehead.
At this time, the old forensic doctor came over with a bag of evidence.
Inside the evidence bag was a piece of cloth, which was dirty and had a layer of black substance sticky on it.
Ding Yuan asked quickly, "Old Zhang, how is it? Have you found out the cause of death?"
The forensic doctor named Lao Zhang nodded and said, "He should have been poisoned to death. Your previous inference is correct, Captain."
At this point, the forensic doctor Lao Zhang asked again: "But Captain, you haven't even seen the body, how did you know that the person was poisoned?"
Ding Yuan was stunned for a moment, looked at me, and then said to the forensic doctor Lao Zhang: "Don't worry about this, there will naturally be experts to help you."
Maybe the forensic doctor Lao Zhang has also heard about my story.
Glancing at me, the forensic doctor Lao Zhang said with a smile, "I understand. It must be Master Yang who predicted the future."
I didn't refute, I just smiled and said nothing.
But when I looked at the contents of the evidence bag from such a close distance, my brows unconsciously frowned.
