No.14 Disciple: Death Puzzle

Chapter 100 The Secret Code
An Youlin didn't make a sound. He stared at this sentence for a long time and didn't reply to the anonymous user.Although Zhuo Qingshan was impatient, she didn't know what An Youlin's intention was, and she didn't know what kind of trick he could see from this sentence.

A few minutes later, Guo Junfeng's cell phone buzzed suddenly, Zhuo Qingshan was startled.An Youlin immediately got up and walked over to pick up the phone. Zhuo Qingshan leaned forward and looked at the phone's vibrating incoming call, and "unknown number" was displayed on the screen.

"Time is the most experienced judge who examines all criminals." An Youlin said with a straight voice.The phone was quickly hung up.

Subsequently, the anonymous user replied in the dialog box: "Received."

"Are you testing us just now?" Zhuo Qingshan asked, "Want to know if we lied?" "Maybe."

After finishing speaking, An Youlin entered in the dialog box: "You used a famous line from Shakespeare as your contact code."

"This is also our previous contact code." "Since you have confirmed that I am indeed a friend of BS221b, can you now tell me what he asked for your help?"

"He did ask me for help before he died, but I haven't completed what he asked for help. I will tell you after I finish it, otherwise it will be useless."

An Youlin continued typing on the keyboard: "There are loopholes in your temptation to me." Zhuo Qingshan whispered An Youlin's reply in a low voice. "It's a matter of probability. I just try to reduce the probability of misjudgment as much as possible."

An Youlin continued to reply: "You are worried that the person who killed him tried to contact you and learned that he asked you to help him before he died."

After a while, the anonymous user replied: "I'm not worried that the person who killed him knows, this is the agreement between me and him."

"If there is an accident, don't interfere with what he asks you to help, right?" "I have crossed the line." Soon, the anonymous user replied, "Dangerous."

An Youlin wanted to continue asking, but the anonymous user left a message "I will contact you again as soon as possible", and then went offline.

Zhuo Qingshan couldn't wait to say: "When Junfeng asked his friends on Lipi.com for help, he already expected that the murderer might attack him? What exactly did Junfeng ask this guy to help? It hasn't been finished yet?"

An Youlin stared blankly at the laptop, touched the mustache on his chin with his thumb, and said nothing.

In the afternoon, while Liu Yunhui was out shopping, Luo Gang contacted An Youlin with a single-line mobile phone.

"Yu Zhaodi died a few years after she left Shuilou County and arrived in Guangsha City. It was a traffic accident. According to the time on the copy of the case file, it should have been after she graduated from high school."

"Tsk tsk tsk," An Youlin said with force, "If it is true that Yu Zhaodi died many years ago, then there may be someone else who committed the crime..."

"A person who knows Yu Zhaodi's past well?" Luo Gang pondered, "And, he knows where Yu Zhaodi's pain is."

"This person feels like a best friend who sympathizes with Yu Zhaodi and knows her very well!" Zhuo Qingshan expressed her feelings as a woman, "I should look up friends who have a good relationship with Yu Zhaodi."

On the other side of the phone, Luo Gang sighed and said, "I investigated Sun Wei, a middle school classmate who was too aggressive with Zhaodi, in Shuilou County. According to his and his wife's descriptions, Yu Zhaodi is not likable. In today's words , a person who belongs to the small and transparent category, and has no friends."

"That was only limited to Zhaodi's middle school period in Loushui County. After that, she went to Guangsha City to study in high school. Maybe during that time, she met a good friend, someone she could confide in."

Zhuo Qingshan suggested that Luo Gang investigate Yu Zhaodi's friends before she was alive. Judging from Yu Zhaodi's experience and personality, she probably doesn't have many friends, which narrows down the scope of suspects in the investigation.

"Are you alone now?" An Youlin asked Luo Gang on the other side of the phone in a low voice. "Now I'm alone and he's out."

"Before Guo Junfeng died, he warned the people he asked for help to stop if something unexpected happened." An Youlin thought for a while, "I didn't pay much attention at first, but after careful consideration, I always felt that his rigor was not exaggerated. "

"Do you want to say that Guo Junfeng sensed a dangerous aura?" "The person Guo Junfeng asked for help also meant the same thing. At least Guo Junfeng thought his secret investigation was dangerous, and he even predicted that he might die, and made arrangements after his death. So you have to beware of that kid next to you..."

After hanging up the phone, Luo Gang was still thinking about An Youlin's words. Although An Youlin didn't talk about it directly, he had already touched the old wound that An Youlin didn't want to mention.

At night, An Youlin contacted Zhao Hongjun one-on-one. Zhao Hongjun said that Luo Gang had just reported the progress of the investigation to him not long ago.

"Now that we have a new direction, let's continue the investigation. It will take a lot of time to link each other." Zhao Hongjun breathed heavily, "But we must also recognize the reality. The decision to conduct a secret investigation is abrupt and has too many loopholes. This situation won't last long, now I ask the Municipal Bureau to direct all the calls from the provincial departments to my office, so as to temporarily hide Luo Gang's movements..." After hanging up the phone, An Youlin sighed Jokingly said: "Zhao Bureau was a fierce general back then, he has a unique sensitivity to such vicious cases and the belief that he is eager to show his skills. It is indeed a bit cruel to let him sit in the office at this time..."

However, Zhuo Qingshan could hear the change in An Youlin's tone. An Youlin's tone changed from light and joking to serious at the beginning, and the change was not obvious.Zhuo Qingshan realized that this change in tone was not because the case had not yet been solved, but because the words involved a certain part of the past.

During dinner, Luo Gang unceremoniously asked Liu Yunhui to see the head teacher of Yu Zhaodi High School.

Liu Yunhui complied without hesitation, and it was this action that reminded Luo Gang of An Youlin's previous reminder on the phone, telling him to be wary of Liu Yunhui.

"There is one thing I still can't figure out," Luo Gang casually took food from the lunch box, "Since I have no threat to you, why did you follow me to investigate?"

"I just wanted to help, nothing else..." "It's amazing how quickly you can guess that I'm a cop."

Luo Gang's calm tone scared Liu Yunhui, and Luo Gang also felt the change in the atmosphere in the room.Liu Yunhui hastily explained a few words. He put down his chopsticks and made gestures. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, I was hesitant before coming to Guangsha. I don't know whether I should come with you."

Liu Yunhui sighed, and continued: "Hey, after I finished cutting my hair, I felt like a different person, and I was a little uncomfortable. After returning home, I felt that it must be too late, so I didn't plan to look for you at the passenger station again... ..."

Luo Gang put down his chopsticks and looked at Liu Yunhui solemnly. He had a premonition that Liu Yunhui would talk about the key reason soon.

"I met...my dad at home. He has despised my actions all these years, but when he saw my haircut that day, he said, 'Nice cut!'"

Speaking of this, Liu Yunhui smiled smugly, like an innocent child. "My dad seldom praises me. Really, it's the first time I've heard him praise me so much in so many years! I remember what you said to me. Maybe you don't have to do some... bastard things to get my dad's attention. If I can follow in his footsteps, I can be a policeman too!"

Luo Gang smiled: "So you want to experience the feeling of investigating a case?"

"Proud!" Liu Yunhui scratched his head in embarrassment, "The feeling of helping the police complete the impossible investigation with my ability..."

That night, Luo Gang lay in bed almost all night without sleep. In the dark, he listened to the sound of fine rain hitting the window continuously.Liu Yunhui was sleeping on the bed next to him. He turned over several times, but he didn't intend to get up. His breathing was very even, and he seemed to be in a deep sleep.

Luo Gang recalled what An Youlin said, and he vaguely felt that An Youlin was touching the past that he should have avoided intentionally or unintentionally.
