Chapter Six: Suspects Emerge
ng."Little white mouse, I tell you, if you try to steal my man, you better look at yourself and see what you are. I'm telling you..."Slap—Wang Yue's head tilted to the side, a red mark appearing on he...A thought, unbelievable yet intriguing, crossed my mind.
Jiang Yunbai took a deep breath.
"Here."
Jiang Yunbai raised her bloodshot eyes and looked at Chen Xiaobo.
"Thank you."
I took the tissue that Chen Xiaobo passed me.
At the Public Security Bureau, Gu Yan and Jiang Yunbai were taken to two separate rooms.
Chen Xiaobo looked at the man opposite him. Even sitting casually, he had an air of calm indifference.
"Name."
"Guest banquet."
"What is your relationship with the deceased Wang Yue"
Chen Xiaobo stared at the young master opposite him, finally seeing a crack in his perfect facade.
"She died"
Chen Xiaobo nodded to indicate he would answer the previous question.
It was her who pursued the relationship, after all.
When he said this, Gu Yan even reached out to brush off nonexistent dust from his sleeves.
Chen Xiaobo frowned, "But according to our investigation, we learned that you are in a romantic relationship."
Gu Yan just smiled.
She's also worthy.
After he finished speaking, Gu Yan asked another question.
"What did her friend say"
Actually, we broke up a month ago.
"When did your relationship begin"
"This June."
"As far as I know, you just broke up with Jiang Yunbai in July this year."
Gu Yan lowered his head and said nothing.
"So you broke up with Jiang Yunbai because of this"
Gu Yan didn't respond for a moment.
"I've heard of your reputation, Gu Yan. The 'Sea King,' they call you. But you were in a stable relationship with your girlfriend for three years. Everyone says you're the flowing woman and Jiang Yunbai is the iron man. How come this time it ended"
That's enough!
Gu Yan was clearly angered, looking up at Chen Xiaobo who was leaning against the table.
"Chen Xiaobo, are these questions you have related to the case"
Chen Xiaobo turned around and went back to his seat, crossing his arms and leaning against the backrest.
"Do you know the relationship between Wang Yue and Jiang Yunbai"
......
Wen Xin ended the inquiry, and Gu Yan and Jiang Yunbai separately signed to confirm that the record of the transcript was accurate.
Song Ming stood with his hands clasped, close beside Chen Xiaobo.
"I just asked Jiang Yunbai, on the 21st night their testimonies were consistent. That night they went to a bar for drinks and until 10 pm, Gu Yan got drunk so Jiang Yunbai sent him home."
Chen Xiaobo crossed his arms and watched the playback on the monitor.
"Should we still check the surveillance footage from the bar and Gu Yan's apartment district to see if it's true They had ample time to collude today."
"And also."
Song Ming took two steps back and looked at Chen Xiaobo.
"What discoveries have you made regarding the surveillance footage of Wang Yue's neighborhood before and after the incident last time"
Song Ming replied, "We found that there were two suspicious individuals who entered and exited the residential area around the time of the incident."
“According to the investigation, both individuals were not residents or relatives of the apartment complex. They sneaked in when the security guard was not paying attention. The first person, wearing a black hoodie and a baseball cap, entered the complex at 12:00 am and disappeared from the surveillance range afterward. It is likely that he had been there before to scout the area. The second person, also wearing a black hoodie but with a hooded jumpsuit, snuck in half an hour later. This person went directly to Wang Yue's building as soon as he arrived, and the elevator surveillance footage shows him going to Wang Yue's floor.”
"So now we can basically lock down the killer as being the person wearing the black hoodie."
Chen Xiaobo took the tablet handed to him by Song Ming and carefully watched the monitors.
But unfortunately, after he left the residential area at 3:30 am, his whereabouts were unknown.
What about the other one
Song Ming called up the surveillance footage.
"This is the only footage of someone leaving the complex around 1:45."
Chen Xiaobo compared the two surveillance footage and found that both men in black came out in the direction of Wang Yue's apartment building.
But another person wearing a baseball cap couldn't find any other surveillance videos besides that one.
"Team Chen, if it was the person wearing a baseball cap who did this, do you think they would have climbed in from outside"
Chen Xiaobo nodded in agreement.
According to the surveillance footage, the two suspects are both around 1.7 meters tall. The baseball caps make them appear taller but not exceeding 1.8 meters, which does not match Gu Yan's description.
Song Ming pursed her lips and gestured in the air to indicate Gu Yan's height.
"That makes sense, Gu Yan looks a bit taller than Team Chen."
Chen Xiaobo let out a curse and picked up the tablet as if to hit Song Ming.
Song Ming saw the situation and knew it was time to retreat, so he quickly escaped for his life.
I checked the bar's security footage.
After Song Ming left, Chen Xiaobo carefully reviewed the surveillance footage again.
I noticed that the person wearing this black hooded sweatshirt had a slight bulge on their back and seemed to be hunching or curving their spine, deliberately making themselves appear shorter.

Gu Yan walked out of the police station, looking at the darkening sky outside.
The rain has finally stopped.
Gu Yan didn't leave, instead he stood at the door waiting.
But after waiting for a while, Jiang Yunbai still didn't come out.
Gu Yan couldn't help but take out his phone and send a message to Jiang Yun Bai.
"I'll be waiting for you at the door."
After a while, the phone screen lit up.
This is Jiang Yunbai's reply.
"Go back first."
Gu Yan only glanced at it before snuffing out his phone and turning to walk into the police station.
But after a while, Gu Yan came out.
But what was different this time was that he had a cigarette in his hand.
Gu Yan knew that Jiang Yunbai was deliberately avoiding him.
Open the phone's chat interface
Gu Yan simply glanced at the chat history and put down his phone.
Stubbornly stay in place.
After waiting for a long time, Gu Yan actually squatted directly on the steps at the entrance.
Gu Yan held the cigarette that had just been brought to him in his hand.
Recalling what Chen Xiaobo said in the interrogation room.
"Do you know the relationship between Wang Yue and Jiang Yunbai"
Gu Yan was tightly pursed his lips at the time.
"What do you mean"
Jiang Yùn and Wang Yuè were high school classmates. Wang Yuè used to bully Jiang Yùn, and she also interfered in your relationship, which led to your breakup.......
The reaction at the viewing banquet was clearly that of someone unaware.
Chen Xiaobo leaned forward, placing his hands on the table.
“Therefore, I hope Mr. Gu can tell us everything that happened on the evening of the 21st in detail and truthfully.”
……
"At around 8:30 pm on the 21st, I went to the Crown Bar with Xiaobai for a drink. We stayed there until around 10 pm when I got drunk. Xiaobai called a driver to take me home."
Who asked whom
Did Jiang Yunbai spend the night at your place
He truthfully told everything about the banquet.
"My date, Xiaobai, left, but I don't know exactly what time."
Finally, the questioning concluded. Gu Yan looked earnestly at Chen Xiaobo.
"The little white rabbit could not be the murderer."
"Why are you so sure"
"Don't look at Xiaobai, she's studying medicine, but she actually studies rehabilitation medicine. She doesn't even touch raw meat in her daily life and is very timid. She couldn't possibly commit murder."
Chen Xiaobo listened quietly to Gu Yan's words.
"Gone"
Chen Xiaobo saw that Gu Yan seemed to have nothing more to say. He got up and was about to leave.
"And"ubway gate.Gu Yan learned the gesture and followed closely behind."Well, let me check the map... You wait here at Shui Xie Gong station and then transfer to Line 5 at..."Gu Yan reached out and touched...
