“Oh, is there a suspect?”

Gu Xizhou nodded, but he didn’t say who. Fortunately, Si Yu also wasn’t a gossipy person. He didn’t continue to press him for answers. mlXNt5

After eating a meal, Gu Xizhou immediately received the construction company director’s phone call. “Hello, police officer comrade. Where are you right now? I’ll bring someone over to you, ba!”

Gu Xizhou: “No need to trouble yourself. We’ll come over now.”

“No no no, it’s what I should do! Give me a specific location, and I’ll bring him over!”

Gu Xizhou couldn’t decline and sent his location over. He said, “Okay, ba. I’ll trouble you.” K7MH2p

The three of them sat at the roadside vendor’s stand for less than five minutes before Gu Xizhou saw the bald director running all the way over from the other side of the street. Following beside him were a man around thirty years old and a young woman.

“You’re eating here?” The manager looked at their completely empty bowls on the table, his bewilderment written across his face.

As it turns out… this police officer actually treated their boss to a meal at a roadside vendor…

His gaze unconsciously fell on Si Yu. Si Yu was sitting at the side, appearing as if he didn’t mind a bit. gSYEct

Gu Xizhou smiled and said, “We’re here to work. It’s quick. I can’t take your president to the western restaurant in the building next to you for half an hour, can I?”

“I didn’t mean that…” The manager reached up to scratch his hair, but he was already bald. He was forced to scratch the skin of his head. He changed the subject and said, “This is Jiang Jun. He was the foreman for the Shallow Water Garden project. He knows it well. Last year, when the police came, he also brought the police along to look at the scene.”

“Okay.” Gu Xizhou looked at Jiang Jun. “Then, I’ll trouble you.”

Gu Xizhou recognized her at a glance. She was one of the four women who had been gossiping in the restroom. Gu Xizhou stepped forward and whispered to the girl, “Don’t worry. I didn’t tell him.”

The young woman looked at him gratefully, then heard the man whisper in her ear again. “I think what you said makes a lot of sense. His heart is covered in lard.”

“Pfft.” After hearing Gu Xizhou, the young woman surreptitiously looked at Si Yu and couldn’t help but snicker. Wj6k0N

Gu Xizhou said, “Don’t my words sound reasonable?”

“They do!” The young girl lowered her head and replied in a whisper.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Si Yu stared blankly before turning to look at Gu Xizhou. Before leaving, Si Yu moved close to Gu Xizhou’s ear as if he wanted to whisper something to him. Gu Xizhou naturally moved closer to hear. “What did you and her talk about?”

Gu Xizhou tilted his head and said, “You guess.” uhg4ST

Si Yu: No, I don’t want to guess!

The scene of the disappearance——Shallow Water Garden

The car parked in the underground parking lot at Shallow Water Garden. As soon as Gu Xizhou got out of the car, he smelled something foul. His brows wrinkled, and he said with a sniff, “What’s that smell?”

Gu Xizhou raised his eyebrows. Beside him, Fang Zhi used his hand to fan his face. aemjh4

Jiang Jun also smelled it, and he frowned, pinching his nose. He said anxiously, “Let’s go out first, ba!”

As soon as the three of them entered the elevator, they met two more residents. “Hold on!”

Fang Zhi pressed the button to hold open the door until the two came in.

“Thank you.” After entering, the young woman looked at Fang Zhi to express her gratitude. Then, the man beside her grumbled, “Which family’s cat killed a mouse and put it in the parking lot, ah? Every day it smells like a dead rat.” k9j3Xi

“The property manager only collects money and does nothing!” The man and woman both roasted together. “We’ve had enough like this; the group of owners should unite and switch out the property manager!”

Beside them, Jiang Jun somewhat coughed awkwardly, ke ke,

Embedded in the cement was a clearly visible portion of a human hand, the rest shrouded in darkness.
