After Guo An answered the phone, he found Fang Xuhui and Pang Jiaojiao staring at him.
"Is this a call from a colleague in City S?" Fang Xuhui asked tentatively.
Guo An nodded and said: "When I saw the crime scene and related information, a guess emerged in my mind. In order to confirm this guess, on the one hand, I asked Pang Jiaojiao to compare the DNA of the deceased with Sun Fengen, and on the other hand, , I asked my old classmate Wu Tao in City S. I hope he can help me investigate whether anyone with a similar body shape to Sun Hui has gone missing recently. It was him who made the call just now. "
"What's the result?" Pang Jiaojiao asked impatiently.
Guo An shook his head: "Wu Tao is also an old man. After a day of searching, there are some clues. Near the construction site, a beggar named Xiao Liu did disappear. According to the description, the man was similar in size to Guo An. But is he missing? It still needs to be confirmed. After all, beggars are very mobile. Even if they are indeed missing, we cannot prove that the deceased is Xiao Liu."
"So, Captain Guo, your guess is that Sun Hui faked his death, but it was Xiao Liu who actually died!" Pang Jiaojiao understood.
Fang Xuhui frowned and said, "But... it would be too heart-breaking to kill a person just to avoid a debt!"
"Only in this way can Sun Hui's complicated behaviors be reasonably explained." Guo An said, "In fact, with the support of these indirect evidences, our reasoning can continue. After all, our ultimate goal is Catch the murderer of Sun Fengen."
"Is Sun Hui's fake death related to Sun Fengen?" Guo An's leap of thought made Fang Xuhui unable to keep up.
Guo An had just finished eating instant noodles, stood up and walked back and forth in the office to eat. As he walked, he said: "Pang Jiaojiao mentioned before that Sun Fengen had a big meal before he died. We know that Sun Fengen's life was tight and it was absolutely impossible for him to die without any reason. Extravagant, then his last supper must be closely related to this case!"
"Does it matter?" Pang Jiaojiao stared at the figure walking around, feeling dizzy. She looked around and couldn't find any empty chairs, so she simply sat on Guo An's seat.
Fang Xuhui thought for a moment and said, "What Captain Guo means is... could it be that the murderer invited Sun Fengen to a feast?"
Guo An did not answer directly, but continued: "Sun Fengen, like Sun Hui, has a withdrawn personality. There are not many people who can associate with him, and none of them are so close to each other that they have dinner together. Moreover, according to the villagers It is said that Sun Fengen is usually very wary, and the possibility of eating with strangers is very slim. To sum up, the only people who can have a big meal with Sun Fengen are... "
"Sun Hui!" Pang Jiaojiao was the first to call out, and immediately frowned, "No way, the son invited me to dinner and then killed his own father? This... doesn't make sense!"
Guo An looked at Fang Xuhui.
Fang Xuhui pondered for a moment and said: "Judging from the current situation, Sun Hui is very likely to be alive. In this case, it is normal for father and son to have a good meal together. But the next development is too unexpected... Sun Fengen's death was tragic. He was clearly tortured to death and could not have been manslaughter while drunk. What on earth is this... for?"
Guo An said slowly: "There is another important point, which is the killing. Is it possible that the murderer's purpose is not to kill, but to torture?"
"Torture?" Fang Xuhui didn't know why.
Guo An was almost finished eating. Seeing Pang Jiaojiao occupying his own seat, he sat down on Fang Xuhui's seat without hesitation and said slowly: "My guess is that Sun Hui returned home first and treated his father to a feast. Trying to get something out of his father's mouth. As a result, Sun Fengen spoke very harshly, causing Sun Hui to brutally torture him!"
Fang Xuhui was shocked by this bold conjecture and stood there stupidly, speechless for a long time. Pang Jiaojiao laughed loudly and said while laughing: "I always thought that our Captain Guo had a rigorous style and was serious about his words, but I didn't expect that he was so good at making up stories! This must be a bit too imaginative!"
Guo An leaned on the chair, with a complicated expression on his face, and simply said lightly: "It's just a speculation."
But Fang Xuhui was still thinking seriously and said slowly: "As far as I know, the relationship between Sun Fengen and Sun Hui is not good. His mother died in childbirth when Sun Hui was born. Sun Hui did not have a mother in his childhood, and he often suffered His father was drunk and beaten severely, which created Sun Hui's withdrawn character and was also the reason why Sun Hui went out to work. With Sun Hui's character, it is possible that he would commit patricide, but if your inference is true, Captain Guo, there must be a A very important premise. That is what kind of secret Sun Fengen is keeping, so that Sun Hui will get it even if he cheats his death and then kills his father."
Guo An did not speak, but picked up the teacup and drank water. The teacup blocked his face, making it difficult to see what his expression was.
After hearing Fang Xuhui's words, Pang Jiaojiao suddenly had a flash of inspiration in her mind and shouted: "That's right! Didn't we say before that the murderer's modus operandi was very similar to an unsolved case twenty years ago! Could it be..."
"The inference I made just now is just a guess!" Guo An interrupted Pang Jiaojiao, looked at the other party and said word by word: "It's just a bold guess, it has no actual value."
"But..." Pang Jiaojiao wanted to say something more, but seeing Guo An's expression, she closed her mouth.
Guo An stretched, stood up, and said slowly: "What I just said, you can just listen to it as a story. In short, if the murderer doesn't take the next step, it will be difficult for us to have any clues. Maybe... this It will become an unsolved case again.”
Pang Jiaojiao was deep in thought and didn't realize that Guo An had walked in front of her. Noticing the dark shadow in front of her, Pang Jiaojiao subconsciously raised her head and met Guo An's square face. The first time someone of the opposite sex looked at her so closely, Pang Jiaojiao couldn't help but panic, and blurted out: "You... what do you want to do?"
"This is my seat." Guo An said calmly.
"Ah?" Pang Jiaojiao quickly stood up and got out of the way, feeling her heart beating fast for no reason.
Guo An did not sit down in a hurry, but said to Pang Jiaojiao: "I asked you to work overtime again yesterday. It's really hard on you."
Pang Jiaojiao was still struggling with the inexplicable heartbeat and replied casually: "It's nothing."
"You should have a good rest." Guo An said.
"Yes." Pang Jiaojiao nodded and walked out obediently.
After walking a few steps, Pang Jiaojiao came to her senses and realized that it was Guo An who was driving her away. Unconvinced, she turned around and glared at the other person, "How could you be like this! Just abandoning someone after using them is so heartless and shameless!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Pang Jiaojiao felt that there was some ambiguity in her words. Her pretty face turned red instantly, she stamped her feet and left as if running away.
Fang Xuhui looked at Pang Jiaojiao's leaving figure in confusion and asked Guo An: "Captain Guo, what happened to you...?"
Guo An shrugged, saying that he was also at a loss.
With a "pop" sound, a piece of earth-colored water splashed up, mixing with the raindrops falling from the sky, indistinguishable from each other. Yang Mo stood up from the sewage with difficulty, wiped his face, and cursed: "Is this road meant for people to walk on? How come there is a small pit with two steps and a big pit with three steps!"
The only response to Yang Mo was the sound of rain like drum beats. He turned around and looked around, and then he remembered that Chen Jue was not beside him. In the rain curtain behind him, there is a faint outline of the roof, which is the residence of Mr. Bao in Zhenkou. Chen Jue is taking shelter from the rain peacefully in the house. At this time, Yang Mo was on a road flooded by rain in the small town. Who knew that this road was in disrepair and was full of potholes, making it even harder to walk than a mountain road.
Yang Mo had been thinking about it in the room before and decided to go out. On the one hand, he was eager to determine the location of the town. Only in this way could it be possible to find Longnu Pond based on the map. On the other hand, he was just so boring. His mobile phone had been used for a long time until it ran out of battery. In this backward town, he couldn't even recharge it. After finally finding a moldy old raincoat in the house, Yang Mo just put it on and went into battle.
If only he could find one more raincoat, Chen Jue could come out together, Yang Mo thought, suddenly stepping into a puddle again and falling into it.
Yang Mo stood up again unyieldingly, and suddenly heard a burst of laughter from the house next to him.
