"Hunger strike?" Gu Xizhou.
The tall and thin man nodded and snorted: "I also heard from the people in their yard that when the old man died, there were only a handful of bones left, and it was miserable."
Hearing this, Gu Xizhou's face changed slightly, and then he chatted with the man again. The other party only knew so much about the situation, but the contact time came up. The time of the deceased's death was during the winter vacation last year. The time of death is approaching.
After breakfast, the two left the restaurant, Fang Zhi opened his mouth, but made no sound, his face was slightly pale.
Gu Xizhou personally led him into the community. There was a middle-aged man sitting at the gate of the community, with two balls of plateau red on his face. Fang Zhi walked over and knocked on the table next to the middle-aged man.
"Huh? Who are you looking for?" The middle-aged man opened his eyes in a daze, saw two strangers, hit Hache with his hand, and asked.
Fang Zhi said: "Hello, we are the police, looking for you to ask some information."
Hearing the word "police", the middle-aged man jolted as if he had sobered up. He swallowed and said, "Comrade police, what do you want to ask, say it!"
"You are the doorman in this community. Everyone in the community knows you, right?"
The middle-aged man replied, "I know, I know them all. Our community is a demolition house. The community used to be old neighbors on the production team. If they live here, I know them at a glance!"
Gu Xizhou said, "What kind of person is Zhou Guang in your eyes?"
Speaking of Zhou Guang, the middle-aged man suddenly sighed and said, "I knew you were here to ask about Lao Zhou... Alas... I still want to understand how there is a head in that concrete block!
"Last year, we went to his parents' white affair and said that he was finally relieved, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen. It's not easy for Lao Zhou to take care of his paralyzed father and mother. In my eyes, he is An ordinary person who has been implicated by his parents for so many years without complaining, and takes care of his parents with all his heart.
"He opened a tea shop, but he never played poker. In fact, he used to like to play poker, but because his parents have been very poor since then, he has a good temper and a good person. I still can't figure it out... I think He doesn't kill!"
"Well, when his father died, you participated in the white affair?" Gu Xizhou.
"The old neighbors in the yard all participated, and everyone contributed some money." The middle-aged man said.
Gu Xizhou raised his eyebrows and asked, "Have you seen the bodies of his parents?"
"Why didn't I see him, he didn't have any relatives, no one helped to carry the coffin, his father died at home, it was all the help of the people in the yard, when he died, there was only a handful of bones left!"
"His father really died on hunger strike?" Gu Xizhou asked.
"Of course!" The middle-aged man said excitedly: "Do you suspect Lao Zhou? I tell you! No! Absolutely not! Even if he killed someone, he would never be sorry for his father!
"Last year! I saw Lao Zhou kneeling beside his dad's bed, begging his dad to eat, but his dad wouldn't eat it! We also followed suit. Uncle Zhou said he didn't want to hurt his son anymore. I saw it with my own eyes!"
Seeing that the middle-aged man was emotional, Gu Xizhou comforted him for a moment, and then asked, "Is Zhou Yiguang having a grudge against anyone?"
"As far as I know, there is no situation. Not long after his father was paralyzed, he ran a tea shop in the community. Because of his father's reasons, he seldom went out. Usually he stayed in the tea shop and mixed tea for the tea drinkers. When the water is poured, he has to turn his father over. If the paralyzed person does not turn over, a mattress will grow on his body, and Uncle Zhou has no mattress at all!
"But I don't know if he ever had a grudge against someone when he was working outside..."
"Where did he work before, who did he help, do you know?" Gu Xizhou asked.
The middle-aged man thought for a moment and said, "I don't know that."
"Thank you, do you know who has a better relationship with Zhou Yiguang? We want to know the situation."
The middle-aged man said after a few residents, "These are people who often play cards in his tea shop, you can ask them."
"Are they all at home?"
"Yes, there are more homeless people in the community."
Gu Xizhou took the note, and took Shang Zhi to visit these houses first, knocking on the door one by one, and asking about the situation of the two houses was similar to what the middle-aged man said at the door. What can be confirmed is the corpse and the people in the community It doesn't matter, Zhou Guang doesn't seem to have a holiday with anyone.
The two of them visited other residents in the community separately, and they were busy until five o'clock in the afternoon.
"Judging from the visits of the neighbors, they all think that Zhou Yiguang is a good son, and he has never complained about his paralyzed father or sick mother." Gu Xizhou said.
Fang Zhi: "Yes, I just visited all the residents in Zhou Guang's building, and they all heard Zhou Guang crying and begging his father to eat, and every other family across from their house also saw Zhou Guang kneeling and begging to his father.
"After his parents died one after another during the winter vacation last year, he didn't open the door to do business for a long time. Those children broke the concrete block during that time. I found several other children to reconfirm."
"After his parents died, there was an extra head in the cement mound," Gu Xizhou raised his eyebrows, "His mother died in the hospital... Check his mother's hospital records to see if there are any missing doctors or nurses in the hospital. !"
As Gu Xizhou was talking, he thought about his cell phone and picked it up, "No, it's already confirmed? Someone is missing, um, um, I know."
Similar to what Gu Zhizhi said, no headless corpses were found this time last year, but there were many people who went missing during the winter vacation last year, but it was difficult to identify the corpses. The corpses were highly decomposed and lacked body parts...
"There is no body, we can only find it from the people who reported missing during that time." Gu Xizhou rubbed his forehead.
In the next two days, it was confirmed that there were no medical staff missing from the hospital where Zhou Yiguang's mother died. Gu Xizhou visited the neighbors in Yiguang's yard many times and found that this person rarely left the community, and that no enemy family ever came to the yard to look for him.
After driving the repaired car home, Gu Xizhou lay on the sofa and called the woman who hit his car that day. The woman didn't say a word and directly transferred the repair money to Gu Xizhou's card.
Gu Xizhou received a text message on his mobile phone and muttered: "It's good to have money, that second generation of rich people transferred the money without even looking at the invoice."
"Oh, yes, after all, I live in a villa in the 5a scenic area, and I drive a Maserati, and I am a rich man..."
Gu Zhizhi: I want money.
Seeing the words written by Gu Zhizhi on the notebook, Gu Xizhou rolled his eyes and said, "You are a person who sells a house and buys a car, hurry up and shut up, if you don't sell, the house will appreciate in value, your broken car will only depreciate in value. appreciation."
Gu Zhizhi: …
"Wang Wang Wang!"
"Wang Wang Wang!"
The son of the dog trotted all the way, leaned his tongue in front of Gu Xizhou, and rubbed his hand underneath.
"What's wrong with it?" Gu Xizhou sat up and looked at the barking dog, raising his eyebrows, "Didn't you just take it out for a walk yesterday?"
Gu Zhizhi: You ate yesterday, do you want to eat today
Gu Xizhou was too lazy to care about him, rubbed the dog's head, rolled over and sat up, helplessly said: "Let's go, I'll take you for a walk!"
Taking out the shoes, Gu Xizhou had just changed his shoes when the phone in his arms rang.
"Brother Gu, among the people who have been compared and recorded, the same Y chromosome DNA was found to be exactly the same as that of the deceased."
As soon as Fang Zhi's voice fell, Gu Xizhou immediately said, "Okay, I'll come to the police station immediately!"
Hanging up the phone, Gu Xizhou grabbed the dog son who was dragging the dog leash and grabbed the dog leash.
"Wang Wang Wang!"
Gu Xizhou glanced at the dog's son's wagging tail, and said helplessly: "It's useless to wag your little tail into a propeller. You can't walk around today."
"Wang Wang Wang!"
Throwing the dog son to Gu Zhizhi in the house, Gu Xizhou put on his shoes, took the key, and drove the car all the way to the police station.
"What's the situation?" Gu Xizhou asked as soon as he arrived at the office.
Xiang Yuan's apprentice Li Yan said: "Recently, some drug addicts were arrested in the city. When these drug addicts were registered, they found that one of the drug addicts had the same Y chromosome as the deceased. This drug addict was a male. Nineteen years old, his name is Xu Qing, he is a rich second-generation, and he takes drugs out of curiosity. His father's name is Xu Wei, who disappeared a year ago and is a developer and builder!"
Fang Zhi added: "The information has been retrieved, and he disappeared on the construction site. Last year, because of the sudden disappearance of the boss, the construction site was temporarily suspended, and the construction company was on the verge of bankruptcy. Xu Wei's wife sold most of the shares. On track!"
"Go, go to the drug rehab center and see this Xu Qing." Gu Xizhou said in a low voice.
It was already nine o'clock in the evening when the car arrived at the drug rehab center. Gu Xizhou met Xu Qing as he wished. Xu Qing was nineteen years old and did not want to be skinny like other drug addicts.
"Hello, you should already know our intentions." After seeing the person, Gu Xizhou went straight to the point.
Xu Qing nodded reluctantly: "I know, the body you found is really my dad's?"
"That's right," Gu Xizhou said quietly, "the Y chromosome is exactly the same. If you need it, I can help you with a paternity test."
Xu Qing waved his hand and said, "No, in fact, he has been missing for so long, and I don't feel anything at all. I just heard that he died suddenly, and I sighed a little."
"Does he have any enemies?" Gu Xizhou asked.
"How can there be no enemies in the real estate industry? There are too many."
Fang Zhi took out a photo of Zhou Guang from his arms and pushed it in front of Xu Qing, and asked, "Do you know this person?"
"I don't know." Xu Qing looked at him for a while and shook his head, "Actually, I don't have a good relationship with him. After he has money, he has very little time to go home. I have never met those people he knows outside, you have to ask Just ask my mother. My mother must know more than me. If my mother knew that he was the one who died, she would have set off firecrackers.
"To be honest, I don't know if I'm sad or not when I know he's dead. You said that if I didn't take drugs, maybe you wouldn't know it was him!"
Hearing this, Gu Xizhou shook his head, "As long as we've reported missing, it's fine if we don't recognize it, we can compare the DNA one by one, which means it will take a little longer and the process will be a little more troublesome."
After Xu Qing said a few words, he directly told them the address of his home. Gu Xizhou and Fang Zhi first called Xu Qing's mother, "Okay, come on."
Similar to what Xu Qing said, Xu Qing's mother, Deng Mei, knew that her husband's death was very indifferent. As soon as Gu Xizhou arrived at the villa, an aunt had already opened the door.
"The wife is waiting for you inside." The aunt made a gesture of invitation.
Gu Xizhou and Fang Zhi walked into the villa and saw a middle-aged woman. This woman was not good-looking. She couldn't even reach the ordinary level. , she saw Gu Xizhou and Fang Zhi pour a glass of water for each of them.
"Please sit down."
"Don't worry, what you want to ask, I will definitely know everything." The woman said casually.
"How much do you know about your husband's disappearance?"
Woman: "After the Chinese New Year last year, he went to the construction site to check the construction situation and disappeared. The place of disappearance is the current shallow water garden.
"Actually, I'm not the first person to know of his disappearance. I've been separated from him for about eight years. Since he became a small boss, he has raised many young and beautiful women outside, but I'm not bad either. I have taken care of a few men."
"Oh..." Gu Xizhou was a little disappointed. If she said this, the woman should not know about the holiday between the boss and Zhou Guang, "Do you know the person in this photo?"
The middle-aged woman finally looked at the photo in Gu Xizhou's hand for a moment. Just when Gu Xizhou thought his hope was in vain, the woman slapped her head and said, "I know! This is Lao Zhou!"
"I met Xu Wei on the construction site before! He used to take care of us both!"
Gu Xizhou said in a hurry, "Please explain the situation in detail."
"Lao Zhou was the management of our construction site at that time, and he was very good to our people. At that time, ordinary people worked on the construction site, and many people could not get money. You should know," the woman recalled, "This When Lao Zhou was in management, he often helped us people to rush money, and later I heard that something happened to his family, so he resigned and left."
"Xu Wei changed from a migrant worker to a small contractor, or he helped!"
Gu Xizhou tapped lightly on the table with his hand. Now that he finally understood the relationship between the two, Gu Xizhou asked again, "Did something happen to Lao Zhou and him later?"
Xu Wei's wife was silent for a moment and said, "Yes... Xu Wei did something wrong.
"At that time, he had just become a subcontractor, and he had no money in his hands. At that time, he had to advance money to be a subcontractor, but where did we both have money? We borrowed 5,000 yuan from Lao Zhou, because we have a good relationship, and Lao Zhou also He didn't ask Xu Wei to write an IOU, but he didn't recognize Xu Wei later.
"At that time, I was just starting a business, and I really didn't have much money. Xu Wei didn't recognize it. I, I also persuaded me twice, he scolded me, and I had no conscience... Zhou Guang had two years at the beginning, and then he Didn't find us."
Gu Xizhou nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, do you have any contact information for his mistresses?"
The woman shook her head: "No."
…
When they came out of the villa, Gu Xizhou and Fang Zhi were blowing the cold wind. The next day, Gu Xizhou drove straight to Xu Wei's company early in the morning.
As soon as he went upstairs, Gu Xizhou heard the company manager explaining to the lady at the front desk outside: "Today the big boss is coming over, you all pack up and leave a good impression on the big boss!"
"Who are you looking for?" The lady at the front desk asked softly with a standard smile and two dimples on her face.
The company manager glanced at Gu Xizhou and Fang Zhi and was about to leave, but was stopped by Gu Xizhou: "Wait, are you the person in charge here?"
The manager nodded and said, "What are you doing? I'm very busy!"
Fang Zhi showed his credentials, "We are the police, and we are here to investigate the disappearance of Xu Wei, the former chairman of your company."
"But," the manager looked down at his watch and frowned in embarrassment, "but our big boss is coming to inspect today, I don't have time!"
"This is official business, please cooperate with me." Gu Xizhou.
The company manager scratched his head, "Then wait, I'll call the big boss!"
He took out his mobile phone, dialed the phone on the other side, walked around anxiously, and finally connected after a while, "Assistant Yu, is the boss going out? There's something wrong with the company... We can do it tomorrow..."
"Oh, it's downstairs, then, that's fine."
"Comrade police, our boss has already arrived! Otherwise, you can wait for a while, I will hand over the information to the boss's assistant, and let others in the company cooperate with your investigation!"
The company manager touched his bald head and said.
At this moment, the elevator door on the twenty-fourth floor opened, and two men walked in.
"Hello, Boss, Assistant Yu!" When the company manager saw the two, he immediately smiled like a chrysanthemum and approached them diligently.
Gu Xizhou turned back and looked at one of them, both of them were stunned for a moment, and said in unison, "Why are you here?"
"Brother Si!" Fang Zhi shouted in surprise.
Si Yu nodded slightly, looked at Gu Xizhou helplessly, and asked, "What are you doing in my company?"
"This is your company too?"
Si Yu raised his eyebrows, and asked back with a face of course: "Otherwise?"
Gu Xizhou: The local tyrants are really rich, and the industry is everywhere, I'm sour.
"Investigate the case," Gu Xizhou glanced at Assistant Yu next to Si Yu and said, "You learned to be smart this time, find a male assistant, afraid that the female assistant will fall in love with you?"
Si Yu: "… "
Gu Xizhou took a step forward and lowered his voice: "If the male assistant also falls in love with you, then I really can't help you."
Si Yu glared at Gu Xizhou, what's the matter with wanting to hit him now? !
"Boss, do you know each other?" The company manager scratched his cheeks with a blank expression, wondering how the two policemen knew their big boss
Before Si Yu could speak, Gu Xizhou affirmed: "Yes, I know him very well! Since your boss is an acquaintance, it's easy, answer my question first, and let him wait!"
The company manager's eyes fell on Si Yu for help, only to see Si Yu rubbing his forehead and compromise: "Answer his question first, I'll go to the office and sit for a while."
