The food on the table was delicious, Gu Xizhou was satisfied, and stretched out lazily to stretch his muscles and bones.
He said two words to Si Yu, he turned his head to look at Fang Zhi, and patted Fang Zhi on the shoulder, Fang Zhi was startled, and the whole person was agitated, Gu Xizhou smiled and asked, "What's the matter with you? ?Absently?"
Fang Zhi turned his head mechanically and was stunned for a while, then he understood the question Gu Xizhou asked him: "I was thinking about the memories I saw inside the door just now...
"If She Xue had told the police that she had stolen Su Xiaomian's identity when Lin San reported her disappearance, perhaps Su Xiaomian would not have died... and there would have been no such thing as the following."
Gu Xizhou raised his eyebrows slightly and continued, "There are two things in this world that cannot be looked at directly, one is the sun and the other is the human heart."
Fang Zhi understood the meaning of Gu Xizhou's words, because they are police officers, they have seen a lot of the darkest side of human nature, and they will only get more and more in the future, so he just let out a sigh in the end.
"Why did the door appear when She Xue admitted that she was not Su Xiaomian?"
"Her wish should be to tell Lin San that she is dead and tell Lin San not to look for her again."
He was silent for a moment and asked, "Has her wish come true?"
Gu Xizhou thinks about it, he really doesn't know, after all, is the spiritual world real or fake, and what is the meaning of these tasks they experienced in it, he still doesn't know, even the reason for his own resurrection, he doesn't know. knowledge.
The only thing known now is that each time he successfully escapes the mission world, his life time increases.
"That's not something we should be concerned about now." Si Yu said lightly, as if he felt that this issue was meaningless and didn't want to discuss it.
Fang Zhi sighed. He knew that the questions he asked had no answers to them. The mission world itself and the countdown to their own lives in the void were beyond human cognition. Each of them was just struggling in these worlds. Ants in search of survival.
"By the way, Si Yu, how much time did you reward for clearing the mission?" Gu Xizhou broke the silence and asked Si Yu.
Si Yu was silent for a moment, and his eyes suddenly drifted. After a while, Gu Xizhou heard Si Yu say: "The reward time is normal this time."
Similar to what he thought, the time Si Yu was deducted was related to the fact that he cheated and asked those ghosts for answers. Punishing ghosts would not affect the reward. Gu Xizhou nodded, and the three chatted for a while before Gu Xizhou and Fang Zhi left.
As soon as Gu Xizhou and Fang Zhi got into the car, Gu Xizhou's cell phone rang.
He glanced at the name on the caller ID, sat in the driver's seat, rubbed his brows with a headache and answered the phone, "Um... What's the situation? Dead? The perpetrator ran away?"
"Um... um, I see, I'll be there right away."
Gu Xizhou hung up the phone and said to the other party, "An accident happened again. Someone killed someone in the street. I have to go to the scene to check the situation first. You..."
Fang Zhi nodded and interrupted Gu Xizhou: "Okay... Brother Gu... I'll go with you."
Gu Xizhou snorted. Originally, he said that Fang Zhi should go to rest, but judging from Fang Zhi's current appearance, he was definitely unwilling to leave. Gu Xizhou drove the car all the way to the scene of the incident.
Before he got out of the car, he saw the entrance of a supermarket from a distance - a pool of red blood on the ground, the blood dripped all over the ground, and a yellow warning line was drawn around, but he still couldn't stop the curious crowd watching.
Gu Xizhou pulled up the yellow warning line and walked in. He had just arrived when the forensic doctor Xiang Yuan came over and told Gu Xizhou about the identification situation: "The deceased Xue Chaoguo, male, 45 years old, was slashed thirteen times by the knife holder... on the spot. dead."
The criminal policeman on the side came over and handed him the collected physical evidence. A circle of fixed lines was drawn around the corpse on the ground, and there was a blood-stained kitchen knife on the ground.
"Who was the murderer?" Gu Xizhou asked.
Hearing this, the detective showed a tangled expression. After half a minute, he opened his mouth with difficulty and said, "According to the confessions of the two people who were with the deceased, it was the deceased's father, Xue Youxue, who killed him."
"It was his father who killed?" Gu Xizhou was stunned when he heard the words, then raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you sure?"
"Sure, both of them said it was the father of the deceased."
Gu Xizhou nodded.
Gu Xizhou looked around and noticed that there was a surveillance camera at the entrance of the supermarket. He and Fang Zhi walked into the supermarket.
The salesperson in the supermarket was sitting on a chair, looking outside, Gu Xizhou tapped the table with his hand, took out his ID, and said, "Hello, I just saw a camera at your door, it should be able to do it there. We need to take a look at the footage of the perpetrator killing."
The aunt who was sitting in the chair stood up. She was wearing a black long sleeve and an orange-yellow coat with the supermarket logo on the outside. She enthusiastically helped Gu Xizhou to adjust the picture.
Since the location of the perpetrator was right at the gate of this supermarket, the supermarket surveillance camera was newly purchased, and the picture quality was clear, which just happened to capture the murder of the perpetrator.
The murderer was an old man of about 70 years old. The old man was very thin and small, and his skin was wrinkled into a lump. His actions were very clear. He came to look for the deceased. The old man pulled out the kitchen knife that had been tucked behind the waistband of his trousers and slashed at the deceased.
The other two people who were with the deceased were stunned for a while, and completely froze in place. Then the old man in the picture continuously slashed the knife. After slashing more than a dozen times, the old man ran away.
The old man didn't have any clever means of committing crimes, he just cut him down simply and rudely without any cover up.
During this period, Gu Xizhou also heard the voice of the monitor. Of course, because of the distance, the voice was not very clear, but he could still hear some.
"Do you have any conscience?!"
"Conscience? What is conscience?"
"Give me back the house, and you get out, get out!!!"
"What is your house? Whose name is written on it, open your dog's eyes to see clearly!"
"Snapped!"
Here, the deceased gave the old man a slap in the face, and then the old man drew the knife from the waistband of his trousers. Then, because of the screams of the people around him, Gu Xizhou couldn't hear what the old man said.
"At that time, I saw the old man beheading people with my own eyes. It was so scary!" The cashier seemed to be very scared, but then the aunt asked Gu Xizhou full of gossip: "Comrade police, I just heard that the old man who beheaded was his old man. Dad, is it true?"
Another person working in the supermarket sighed and said with a certain face: "I saw in the surveillance, did the two father and son quarrel because of the house? But after all, it is his own son, how can this be done? ?"
"Comrade police, what's the situation now?"
Gu Xizhou did not satisfy the aunt's gossip, but asked other detectives to take the surveillance cameras and take them to the police station together.
After arriving at the police station, before Gu Xizhou's ass was hot, he received a call saying that the perpetrator had turned himself in.
The old man appeared at the police station. Gu Xizhou glanced down at the old man who was half a head shorter than him. His eyes had no brilliance. His eyes were pale yellow, his hair was all white, and his body seemed to be He was still a little uncomfortable, and he had been coughing since he was taken into the police station.
In the interrogation room, Gu Xizhou sat opposite the old man and pushed the water cup in front of the old man in front of him. The old man took two sips and seemed to feel better, and the coughing stopped.
Gu Xizhou asked, "Tell me, why did you kill?"
He didn't look up, lowered his head and asked, "Can you give me another cigarette?"
Gu Xizhou asked a colleague outside to bring a cigarette in, and at the same time lit it with a lighter and handed it to the old man.
The old man took the chimney, thanked him, and started smoking slowly. He smoked very slowly, with an expression of enjoyment on his face. I've never smoked... I almost forgot what cigarette smells like."
Gu Xizhou didn't speak, looked at him quietly, waiting for him to tell the reason for the murder.
After a while, the old man finally opened his mouth to tell the reason for the murder.
"He's not my son," the old man said with a look of recollection, "At that time, my family was poor and could not marry a wife, so I married a second marriage, and he was the child brought by my second wife.
"I married that woman for two years, and she disliked me for being poor, so she left Xue Chaoguo and ran away with a wild man outside. I lived with Xue Chaoguo for two years and also had some feelings. I couldn't bear to lose him, so I gave him Reading books and watching him get married and have children, I thought it was all perfect. Although I have no children of my own, I see him as my own.
"I gave him all the money I earned from working over the years, and I helped him take care of the children when I was free... After the farmland was occupied, there was a good primary school behind the house where our team was assigned. He was kind to me at that time, but later He excused his grandson to study and asked me to transfer the house to his name. I thought that I would count on him for the rest of my life... Anyway, I will leave it to him in the future. in his name."
The old man was silent for a while, and said, "After passing the house to him... His attitude towards me turned 180 degrees.
"He actually beat me and kicked me out of the house! I gave him everything in my generation, even if it's not my own, I don't have the skills or money, but I've raised him for so many years, how can he beat me? Drive me away?" The old man cried suddenly and silently, "I don't have any requirements, I just hope he will give me a room, a quilt, and something to eat..."
"I have raised him for so many years, and he treats me like this. I live under the bridge and feel very cold. I can't sleep for a few nights. The more I think about it, the more I get angry. I won't kill him..." The old man spoke in a nasal voice, his voice choked.
The old man explained the details of the crime, plus there was a surveillance video, the evidence was conclusive, Gu Xizhou went out in silence for a moment, and bought two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes outside the police station.
Fang Zhi looked at Gu Xizhou strangely and asked, "Brother Gu, are you going to smoke again?"
Gu Xizhou shook his head and said, "No, I bought it for that uncle."
Fang Zhi: "He just said that he has not smoked for many years."
Gu Xizhou: "Do you know why he hasn't smoked for many years?"
Fang Zhi: "?"
Gu Xizhou didn't answer, and asked Fang Zhi to give the cigarette to the old man.
Outside the interrogation room, Gu Xizhou heard Fang Zhi's voice: "Can I ask you a question?"
The old man was very kind, and he couldn't imagine that such a person would kill people in the street: "Of course."
"Why do you say you haven't smoked for many years yourself?"
The old man looked calm and his emotions had completely calmed down. He replied, "Because I have no money, I want to support him."
This 'he' speaks for itself.
Fang Zhi walked out and looked at the old man smoking and crying silently in the interrogation room. It was very uncomfortable, and his eyes were red.
Gu Xizhou patted Fang Zhi's shoulder and said, "Actually, if you change your mind, his wish can be considered fulfilled. He basically won't be shot at the death penalty at his age. In the future, he will have a house to live in, a quilt to cover, and a meal to eat."
"Okay, the case is solved, everyone has worked hard, let's go home."
Gu Xizhou returned home, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw his son-in-law running up to him, squatting at his feet, wagging his tail happily.
Then Gu Xizhou felt someone grabbing him and turning his body left and right, as if to check his body.
Gu Xizhou: "..."
"Zhizhi, are you worried that I'm missing a piece of meat?" Gu Xizhou teased, "Don't worry, I'm not a rookie like you."
Then the door of his house opened with a click, and he was kicked away, as well as his dog son.
"Hey, are you getting windy again? You cheapskate!" Gu Xizhou touched his clothes bag painfully, then remembered that he had left the key on the cabinet in the entrance hall when he just went in...
He really wasn't angry at all, wasn't he just thrown out of the house by a ghost
Ahh! So angry! Next time he will definitely not litter the keys!
The door that had just been closed suddenly opened again. Gu Xizhou thought that the ghost wanted to open it and was about to go in... He saw a dog leash fall from the sky and landed firmly in his hand, and at the same time there was a small note stuck to the dog the other end of the rope.
Note content: Walking the dog ^_^
While Gu Xizhou was reading the content, the dog son was anxiously circling around his feet, his tail wagging like a small fan.
"Shake what," Gu Xizhou touched the dog's head and tied the dog's leash to the dog, "It will break!"
