No.14 Disciple: Death Puzzle

Chapter 87
Luo Gang's dull and hoarse voice came from the phone, and Luo Gang told An Youlin about the whole day's investigation.

"Aside from the identity of the police, it is still somewhat difficult to investigate."

During the call, An Youlin's eyes kept scanning the photos on the wall. "It's better to let You Tao try it back then, he was an undercover agent before."

An Youlin sensed other meanings: "You didn't talk so obliquely back then, so just speak up."

Luo Gang took a breath on the phone: "Although I haven't seen you for many years, I still know you very well. You decided to conduct a secret investigation with the four of us just because you suspected the way the murderer got the information about the case? Or is it because you suspect the current Is the case related to the Viking Plaza case five years ago?"

Luo Gang directly pierced the cover in An Youlin's heart. After a few seconds of silence, An Youlin responded: "You are one of the few insiders, so there is no need to use the Viking Plaza case like other curious people. Refers to……"

Luo Gang whispered: "Do you suspect that there are disciples involved in the current case?"

"You and Xiao Zhuo really have a tacit understanding. Although she didn't say it clearly before, she still has doubts." Luo Gang was slightly surprised by An Youlin's words, and he cleared his throat: "Xiao Zhuo already knew the secret behind the case back then? She is just a rookie in the Criminal Investigation Brigade, how did she do it?" "Don't underestimate anyone, Xiaozhuo can find the insider of the case in this huge Xijing City, and then let the insider speak, there is still a way. Moreover, she also mentioned Mr. Z..."

Luo Gang sighed slightly again: "You really have doubts?" "I am worried that the murderer will know the truth of the information to solve the case, and suspect Mr. Z and his disciples... There is no evidence to point to it!" An Youlin's tone was not so firm, "The case back then , it’s not as secretive as what’s happening now…”

An Youlin felt dizzy for a while. In addition to the explosions that appeared many times, there were people's screams, noises, and slogan-like shouts.

Luo Gang went on to say: "I read "Nine Diagrams Weekly". This magazine is also very popular in small counties." Afterwards, Luo Gang asked about An Youlin and Zhuo Qingshan's investigation. Luo Gang was informed of the abnormal situation of the past few days, and they also discussed the matter of the murderer boldly visiting the door and taking away the laptop.

The thick clouds that originally only covered the sky over Xijing City continued to expand, like weird cells that kept multiplying and expanding in a petri dish, and finally spread the rain to Guangsha City.Although the weather forecast has accurately reported the rainfall, the residents of Guangsha City and its surrounding counties were still caught off guard, especially the tourists visiting Guangsha City.

Luo Gang had to continue his investigation in this dreary and humid weather. He walked out of the small hotel with an umbrella in the early morning.Tour groups and tour guides with umbrellas can be seen everywhere on the street. The rainy day did not stop the enthusiasm of tourists.

Luo Gang learned from the waitress at the drink shop that people were indeed drowned in the river in the county seat, and most of them were drowned by slipping into the water or swimming, including drunk tourists of course.This made the investigation more difficult, so Luo Gang decided to change his strategy and start with the county middle school.

The county seat is not big, so as long as you leave the county seat, the taxi price will never exceed the starting price.Luo just put away his umbrella and got into the taxi. Within a few minutes' drive, the driver talked about the international financial crisis, the development of the tourism industry, the emerging taxi-hailing software, and finally the ranking of the tax revenues of various provinces.

Luo Gang just answered with a grunt, and when he got to the middle school in the county seat, he paid and got off the car.The school is in class, and the final exam is coming soon. The atmosphere on campus is still quite tense.Luo Gang wandered along the fence outside the school gate. Although this is just a small county that relies on tourism, the school's hardware facilities are very complete - plastic track, newly built gymnasium and lecture hall.

Luo Gang walked along the fence and came near the school gate. There were several spray-painted posters standing in front of the school gate, which listed the list of those who were admitted to the key high schools in Guangsha City in the previous school year.Luo Gang walked through the school gate and came to the other side. This side is no longer an outstanding graduate, but more like a photo of the alumni association.

Based on the time when the deceased Lin Yueyue attended the county middle school, Luo Gang calculated the relevant people in the photos at the alumni meeting, and an idea came to him... An Youlin and Zhuo Qingshan, who continued to investigate in Xijing City, often appeared in the criminal investigation team. It's not that the two are not eager to investigate the clues left by Guo Junfeng, but that the two always have to put on a show and go to the Criminal Investigation Brigade for a cutscene.

The two went to the director's office, and Zhao Hongjun told them that they could once again enter the scene of the three cases openly to investigate.On the surface, it was to find clues related to Yin Liang, but in essence, it was to give the green light to the secret investigation of the two.

Zhuo Qingshan followed An Youlin outside holding an umbrella: "I investigated Lipi.com last night and found some possible movements of Junfeng before his death."

The two got into the car, and An Youlin started the car.

"Tell me, what do you think Guo Junfeng is doing on Lipi.com related to the investigation of the case?"

Zhuo Qingshan looked at the constantly swinging wipers, recalling the results of the query on the computer in the room last night.

"Anyway, Junfeng definitely didn't put the case on the website for members to help answer and earn points, because I found another one...not categorized by sections..."

Zhuo Qingshan didn't know how to describe it anymore. She recalled the familiar words in her mind. An Youlin was not in a hurry to ask, but just drove to Tangning's mansion with peace of mind. "Do you know the Skull and Bones?" "Well, 322, the Eloquent Club, an elite club of a first-class university, is it possible that Guo Junfeng is also a member of the Skull and Bones?"

Zhuo Qingshan explained: "For example, there is a similar organization in Lipi.com. It was first initiated by the moderators of the Lipi.com forum. Many elites from all walks of life joined after mutual recommendation. to this organization."

"Not bad, we have a set!" An Youlin praised, "I learned about this organization so quickly. As you said, many professionals have joined this organization to exchange expertise in different fields."

"You also investigated it?" Zhuo Qingshan was curious.

"It's not an investigation, it's because I knew about such an organization, but it's not as magical as you said. To put it bluntly, it's just a loose organization like a chat room in the early years."

"Do you also think Junfeng is a member of this organization?"

"Inevitable." An Youlin said succinctly, "Guo Junfeng is a professional in criminal investigation, he is qualified to join this exchange group supported by Lipi. Communication, so what expertise does he have that he needs help from others?"

Zhuo Qingshan fell into silence, this was a question she couldn't answer.An Youlin continued: "That's why we went back to the scene of the crime. Since when did Guo Junfeng become suspicious? What area does his confusion involve?"

The Downing Mansion in the rain had police coming in and out again. This may be due to the frequent occurrence of cases recently. The residents are not only familiar with the appearance of the police, but also feel bored and helpless.

An Youlin and Zhuo Qingshan came to apartment 204, and everything seemed to be reversed in time, and they went back to the time after Yang Ping was murdered.The police came in and out, and the investigation team was also conducting the latest round of evidence collection and investigation.

An Youlin and Zhuo Qingshan looked at each other. Zhuo Qingshan understood what he meant, and they followed Song Chunming who was already on the scene to the second floor. This time, the search was more careful, and more people were assigned to each room.An Youlin and Zhuo Qingshan routinely went in and out of each room, and Song Chunming occasionally asked An Youlin if he had any new discoveries.

Zhuo Qingshan and An Youlin returned to the hall on the first floor, and came to the place where Guo Junfeng died. They squatted on the floor and pretended to check.

"Anything new to discover here?"

An Youlin shook his head slightly, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "The real clue is not the night when Guo Junfeng was killed, but the reason why he came back to investigate that night..."

Zhuo Qingshan couldn't help raising her head to look at the colleagues around her. Ever since she participated in the secret meeting of An Youlin, Zhao Hongjun and Luo Gang, she felt a sense of distrust towards the people around her.She forced herself to do what An Youlin said, not to take the initiative to suspect anyone without conclusive evidence, otherwise the murderer would easily detect the different treatment of a certain person.

"Junfeng came back to investigate because he found clues to the Tangning mansion case?" An Youlin nodded and scraped the stubble on his chin with his fingers.

Afterwards, the two got up and checked the location where Yang Ping's body was placed, then the dining room and kitchen, and finally the lounge and bathroom.It was also in the bathroom that An Youlin analyzed that the murderer had a negative experience with water in his early years.

Immediately afterwards, An Youlin took Zhuo Qingshan back to the lounge, where Liu was talking with colleagues from the investigation team.An Youlin still looked as if nothing had happened. He came to Liu's side and asked about Guo Junfeng's investigation situation at the scene after the Tangning mansion case happened.
