After Escaping Chapter 41

Thirty-six. Murderer

Pei Shuyun called Wei Fan and explained what happened last night. After Wei Fan repeatedly confirmed to him that he was not injured, he said that he would sort out the staff in the bar to avoid the miscellaneous people from yesterday.

Gu Yu left early in the morning, but had no intention of explaining to him where he was going.Although Pei Shuyun was a little dissatisfied, he had no intention of taking care of Huiyu’s affairs, so he let him leave on his own.

Futon’er was jumping up and down in the room, and with a sweep of his tail, he spilled the potion on the table all over himself.

Pei Shuyun unceremoniously put her in the cat bag and took her directly to the pet shop after packing her up.

There were quite a lot of people in the pet shop. After explaining the matter, Pei Shuyun went home first.

Until the evening, Pei Shuyun did not receive a call from the pet store. Seeing that the sky was getting gloomy, he was a little confused and prepared to go out to the store to take a look.

When he was about to go out, the phone rang, and the voice on the other end of the phone made him feel relieved. Wei Fan said that he was going to buy dog ​​food today, so he picked up the futon on the way and asked Pei Shuyun to just come to the store to find him.

“Futon’er has become a lot more courageous, and now he dares to make trouble with Douzhi!”

Wei Fan’s laughter was mixed with the sounds of cats and dogs. Pei Shuyun felt relieved and turned around to walk to the bar.

Another victim was discovered last night. After receiving a report from passers-by, Lin Xiao and others were busy all day.

The office is located in a temporary police station. There have been a lot of crimes in the usually peaceful city B recently. The superiors can’t help but pay attention to it and send many professionals and precision equipment to assist in handling the cases.

Gu Yu stood outside the door for a long time. After the busy footsteps gradually subsided, he opened the door with difficulty as if he had made a major decision.

“What are you doing here, Mr. Gu? We don’t have a tracker for you to monitor your sweetheart.” Lin Xiao was rude to him.

Due to the previous impression, Lin Xiao still didn’t like to see him. He couldn’t help but want to say something sarcastic, but fell silent after seeing the red corners of Gu Yu’s eyes.

Gu Yu didn’t answer her, his eyes were fixed on the photos of the crime scene taken on the desk. When he spoke again, there was a low nasal sound in his tone.

“When did the crime occur?”

“The forensic autopsy report has not yet come out, but preliminary judgment is that it should have been around 1 a.m. last night, and the place where the body was found was the scene of the first crime.”

Gu Yu frowned even more tightly: “Then when can I take the person away?”

“I’m sorry, Mr. Gu.” Lin Xiao said goodbye to her short hair behind her ears. She turned around and saw that Gu Yu looked extremely sad and the corners of his eyes were twitching. “We suspect that this case is related to a cross-provincial serial murder case, so the victims cannot move until the murderer is arrested.”

“So, does Mr. Gu know the victim?”

How could I not recognize him?

He has been his teacher since childhood. His father is very strict with him and does not allow him to make the slightest mistake. The private tutor hired for him is strict but also caring to him. Even in Gu Yu’s heart, the teacher is more like his father.

After the teacher learned that he was forced to come to City B this time, he had been secretly protecting him from behind. This must have been the reason why he fell into the eyes of those vicious gangsters and was brutally murdered after his own carelessness.

Gu Yu looked at the closed door of the autopsy department. The teacher’s white-haired but hateful face flashed in front of him over and over again. Gu Yu clenched his fingers and turned to Lin Xiao: “I suspect that the murderer of this serial murder case is related to a large-scale transnational drug trafficking case that I have experienced.”

Lin Xiao and others were a little stunned, “What do you think Mr. Gu said?”

“My appearance in City B is actually under their control.” Gu Yu lifted up his sleeves, revealing the scars on his arms. “A month ago, I discovered that there was smuggling in the shipping line branch under my company’s jurisdiction. After searching the cabin, I found that the smuggled goods were several boxes of methamphetamine. The person in charge was controlled and handed over to the police at that time, but he refused to reveal who was behind the scenes.”

“Then the prisoner was murdered in prison, and smuggling incidents continued on the routes under my control. Some people even reported that I was engaged in drug business for personal gain for public purposes.”

“My father hates drugs very much, so naturally I will not allow drug trafficking to happen here. But I didn’t expect someone to send this photo on my phone.”

Lin Xiao looked at his mobile phone, but it was a photo of Pei Shuyun’s back. The angle of the secret photo was not very clear, but he could still tell his identity by showing half of his face.

“Are they threatening you?”

“I thought so too, and after searching for evidence many times, I found that the source pointed to City B, so I came here not only for Pei Shuyun’s safety, but also to test the criminal’s lair.”

“After contacting Ji Huizhou, I made preparations, but unexpectedly they were more cunning than I thought and cut off my line in advance. As soon as I got here, the carriage I was riding in suddenly exploded, and none of my men were spared. I escaped by chance, but lost contact with the people in City A. They are still being hunted to this day, and my teacher has also suffered as a result.”

“Xiao Lin, if these two cases are related, I’m afraid the person behind them has a big background.”

“This is something I found from a suspect.” Gu Yu handed the pills he took from the gangster that night to Lin Xiao. “I suspect this is a hallucinogenic drug. You can take it for testing.”

A police officer from the laboratory department quickly picked him up from behind.

Lin Xiao pondered for a moment, then opened the computer and found a document. After opening it, she saw that the map was densely packed with large and small circles overlapping each other. She moved quickly and explained to Gu Yu:

“The first few cases all occurred in City A. The murderer’s habit of committing crimes is to commit crimes around his residence. He lives in a KTV and will trick the victim into the KTV and control him with drugs before committing murder. After we found out the location of the KTV, we arrived too late and allowed the murderer to escape.”

“So this time, we conducted overlapping investigations of several crime scenes and finally identified these entertainment venues. However, they have more or less backgrounds behind them and cannot be searched rashly.”

“I would also like to ask Mr. Gu to tell me the locations of these attacks. This should be helpful to our investigation work.”

Gu Yu nodded and began to recall the location to them.

As the overlapping circles became clearer and clearer, Gu Yu’s expression became more serious, and he finally focused on that area, his fingers trembling slightly.

Lin Xiao also realized something was wrong, “Why does this place look so familiar? Xiao Zhao, are you not mistaken?”

“How could it be wrong?” The young technician wearing glasses muttered dissatisfiedly: “This is all calculated carefully. Even if Sister Lin Xiao questions me, she can’t question the machine, right?”

There was a loud “boom”, and the darkness outside the window suddenly darkened. After a strong white light, the loud noise broke the eerie silence in the room.

The electronically generated portrait of the suspect became clearer and clearer, and every trace of his outline touched Gu Yu’s heart, making him extremely frightened.

After the suspect’s portrait was completely generated, the expressions of the people in the room were different and looked strange and scary under the white light. Gu Yu’s anxiety became more intense. He picked up his mobile phone and started dialing a number that he knew by heart.

“The user you are calling is currently on a call, please call again later…”

“The user you are calling is currently on a call, please call again later…”

The uneasy premonition swelled to its maximum at that moment. Gu Yu ignored the pouring rain outside the window at the moment, grabbed the coat on the back of the chair and hurried out.

Lin Xiao: “Are you going back to find him?”

Gu Yu nodded and hurried out the door. Lin Xiao stopped him at the door and handed him a small locator and intercom: “Pay attention to safety. If anything happens, be sure to send me a signal.”

Gu Yu glanced at her gratefully, turned around and rushed into the heavy rain.

Even though it was raining, there were still many young men and women coming out to have fun and enjoy the nightclub.After entering the door, Pei Shuyun patted his wet shoulder. The guy at the front desk didn’t seem surprised to see him and pointed upstairs:

“Manager Wei is upstairs. Just go up and find him.”

Pei Shuyun nodded and thanked him, then walked upstairs.

The layout in the bar tonight was different from the past. The lights dimly flickered on and off, and the glowing atmosphere was a bit weird.For some reason, Pei Shuyun felt strong uneasiness in his heart. Just when he was about to turn around and go downstairs, a long cat meow came from the corner.

Seeing the familiar fluffy tail, Pei Shuyun relaxed a third of his nervousness: “Futon’er, are you there?”

He received another “meow” in response, and Pei Shuyun took two steps forward to take the futon back.

The figure flashed behind him, and the bar he was familiar with in the past suddenly became extremely eerie and strange. The uneasiness in Pei Shuyun’s heart became more and more intense. He didn’t care about anything else. He picked up the futon and was about to leave quickly, when a sap hit him hard on the back of the head.

There was severe pain in the back of his head, and Pei Shuyun fell down on the stairs, his consciousness slowly draining out in a daze.

A pair of arms touched his collar. The overlap was blurry and he couldn’t see clearly. Under the dim light, the ferocious tattoos were covered with dense pinholes.
