Chapter 209 Case Analysis
"It's not impossible." Jing Hong was noncommittal, "However, such things as poisoning are usually only done by people close to them. Therefore, we have to start with the people around the deceased."

"It's your police's business to investigate. Anyway, I don't think it's possible for my family members." Gu Wantong immediately emphasized, "I'm referring to people who are related to my father. Some of the servants in the family are from later generations. , I do not understand."

Ye Zhanzhou and the others stayed at Gu's house until seven o'clock in the evening. Everyone present, including the nanny and the driver, was questioned.

That night, he sent Jiang Yu home, and returned to the bureau by himself, sorting out the general situation of the case until the early morning before squatting on the sofa in the office for a while.

Jiang Yu woke up early on purpose, baked some pies and went to work.

Sure enough, as she expected, the man who said he was going home was nestling on the sofa in the cubicle.

Ye Zhanzhou has always felt light, and he opened his eyes in a daze when he heard the footsteps, and saw that it was a little girl, the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously: "It's so early, do you miss me?"

"Bah! You liar, didn't you say go home and sleep?" Jiang Yu rolled his eyes at him.

Rubbing his eyes and sitting up on the sofa, Ye Zhanzhou bared his teeth: "Listen to this, how can you be like a daughter-in-law complaining that your husband doesn't come home?"

"You can be a human being." Poured the cigarette butts in the ashtray into the trash can, Jiang Yu pointed out the door, "Hurry up and wash your face and brush your teeth, I brought you pie."

Hearing the pie, Ye Zhanzhou regained his energy immediately, took out a toothbrush and towel from the cabinet and ran out.

Jiang Yu tidied up the messy things on the desk to make room.As soon as he took out the thermos, Ye Zhanzhou came back.

In the double-layer insulation bucket, there is white porridge on the bottom, and four pies on the top.

Ye Zhanzhou said while eating: "It's better to have a daughter-in-law. I didn't get this kind of treatment in the past. At most, I ate two buns in the cafeteria."

"You can be a human being!" Jiang Yu glared at him, turned around and left the cubicle.

After finishing his breakfast happily, Ye Zhanzhou cleaned the thermos and put it in the cabinet. The people in the team had already arrived one after another.

At 08:30, in the small conference room, he convened a case analysis meeting.

Although he only slept for three or four hours, Ye Zhanzhou's mental state was surprisingly good.

He raised his chin towards Li Haotian: "Haotian, let me introduce the basic situation of the deceased."

Li Haotian spread out his notebook and said: "Gu Zhengqing, male, aged 53. He suddenly fainted in the clubhouse named Yiyuan on the night of January 27th. The ambulance arrived and sent him to the Central Hospital. The rescue failed, and he was pronounced dead at [-]:[-] am on the [-]th. Gu Zhengqing is the chairman of the famous Mingyang Gu’s Group. Everyone should have heard of the Gu’s Group. It first started in supermarkets, and then gradually expanded. Involving shopping malls, hotels, catering, real estate and other fields, Mingyang is a well-known large taxpayer."

"Gu Zhengqing was married three times. His first wife, Liu Minyue, had a pair of twins. When the two children were 14 years old, the boy died in an accident, and Liu Minyue committed suicide after a year. Later, Gu Zhengqing married his second wife Dong Xiaoli. The two lived together for three years, but divorced due to emotional disagreement and had no children. They married their current wife Qi Meier one year apart. In the entertainment industry, her stage name is Qi Kexin, she was popular for a while, but she was reprimanded by the company. After her comeback, she made no achievements in her career. She married Gu Zhengqing and became a full-time wife. The two lived together for five years and had no children."

"That is to say, Gu Zhengqing has only one daughter, Gu Wantong, the twin girl born to his first wife Liu Minyue. Gu Wantong is 25 years old this year. She is studying business administration at Pingcheng University of Science and Technology. She is currently a second-year graduate student."

"Gu Zhengqing's parents have long since passed away. He also has a younger brother named Gu Zhenghua, who is 48 years old and is currently the executive director of the Gu Group. He has a son with his ex-wife Zhou Su. He is 21 years old this year and his name is Gu Ruize."

Li Haotian finished speaking in one breath, and closed the notebook.

"Let me add a few points." Ye Zhanzhou said, "Gu Zhengqing's son was beaten by him for being naughty when he was 14 years old, and the child ran away from home in anger. It was the end of winter. It split open and fell into the water and died. The child’s mother was hit and committed suicide a week later by swallowing a large amount of sleeping pills at home.”

"According to Gu Zhengqing's younger brother Gu Zhenghua, he divorced his second wife Dong Xiaoli because he had no children after marriage."

"Gu Zhengqing's current wife, Qi Meier, once suffered from depression. At the worst, she had suicidal tendencies, which were effectively controlled after treatment. This has been confirmed by her psychiatrist. The other two need further investigation. .”

He glanced at everyone: "Have you read the autopsy report? I won't repeat the specific situation, and I will share my own opinions."

Lao Yang was the first to speak: "Judging from the cause of death of the deceased, it is certain that an acquaintance committed the crime. With Gu Zhengqing's identity, there are two possibilities. The first possibility is that his immediate family members acted in order to obtain the inheritance of the deceased. That's right. The second possibility is that the person who can get in touch with Gu Zhengqing either has a grudge against him, or is bribed."

"Your analysis is similar to that of Gu Zhengqing and his daughter." Jing Hong said, "But that girl has repeatedly emphasized that it is the second type. She probably means that Gu Zhengqing's opponents pay for murder."

"Why wouldn't a relative do it? Doesn't she suspect that her stepmother did it?" Xiang Guangming said, "You know, the biggest suspect in Gu Zhengqing's death is Qi Meier."

"If you analyze it according to common sense, Qi Meier's suspicion is indeed very serious." Lao Yang nodded, "Qi Meier is only in her early thirties now, and Gu Zhengqing is old enough to be her father. There must be a generation gap between the two. Can you feel comfortable?"

"Qi Meier didn't say that. In her mouth, the two are a loving couple." Jing Hong retorted.

"Of course she said that." Ding Xuan grinned, "Even if Gu Zhengqing beat her and scolded her every day, at this moment, she still has to say that the relationship between the two of them is very good. No one can get angry, right?"

"Qi Meier's psychiatrist said that she has always admired and relied on Gu Zhengqing, and this kind of feeling can maintain the marriage." Jiang Yu reproduced what Xu Nuo once said.

But Xiang Guangming disagreed: "Psychiatrists are the best at fooling people. They talk like fortune tellers."

"I knew this doctor before, and she is very famous in the industry." Jiang Yu said, "Maybe some psychiatrists rely on fooling people to see patients, but she doesn't. Many patients come to her studio because of their reputation. Qi Mei The reason why Qi Meier became her patient was because Gu Zhengqing asked a friend to find Dr. Xu. Besides, she didn't need to lie to cover up for Qi Meier."
