Chapter 2072
Entering the room where Xu Tiankai and Zhou Min lived again, this time, everyone's goal was surprisingly the same.
Gu Chen walked directly towards the windowsill, opened the window, and poked his head out.
The external unit of the air conditioner is covered with thick dust, and in the dust, there are many traces of finger friction.
But judging from the situation at the scene, Gu Chen could tell that these handprints were very small, like the marks produced by a three-year-old child rubbing the outer unit of the air conditioner.
Looking at the signs around, there seemed to be traces of the little girl outside the window.
When Gu Chen checked the room before, he did not search the window because he was sure that Xu Tiankai and Zhou Min had left.
But this time, the disappearance of the little girl in the next room made Gu Chen suddenly realize that the little girl might have jumped over the window from the next room and came directly to the next room because of her playfulness.
And looking at the window sill, there are still a few fibers on the uneven part of the outer wall.
Gu Chen took out his mobile phone, took these pictures, turned around and asked the parents of the little girl standing outside the door behind him:
"Aren't you two children wearing a red coat?"
"Comrade police, you... how do you know?" After all, Gu Chen has never seen the little girl before, but he was able to tell the color of his daughter's coat, which shocked the middle-aged man.
Lu Weiwei reminded from the side: "In other words, your daughter is really wearing a red coat today, right?"
"Isn't it? The jacket my daughter is wearing today is red." Seeing that the policemen were a bit aggressive, the middle-aged woman quickly agreed.
Officer Wang approached Gu Chen and asked Gu Chen, "Gu Chen, how did you know?"
Gu Chen took back his phone, and pointed to the uneven spot on the outer wall of the window sill and said:
"At the corner of the wall outside the window, there are some red fibers. I conclude that this should be the little girl who was brought into the room through the window, and the coat was accidentally scraped off."
"So that's the case?" Hearing what Gu Chen said, Officer Wang checked again.
I found that it was indeed as Gu Chen said, but when I looked back and looked at the room, Officer Wang also thought about it and said:
"Hey Gu Chen, tell me, did this little girl climb to the window sill of the room over here through the outer wall outside the window next door, and then enter this room through the window sill?"
"There is a high probability." In fact, Gu Chen also wanted to say this, and expressed his own judgment:
"I feel that there is a high probability that the little girl was brought in from the house by Xu Tiankai and Zhou Min."
"That's why, the little girl's coat was accidentally scratched by the uneven corners on the outside of the window sill."
"and……"
In the middle of the conversation, Gu Chen looked at the air conditioner outside the window, and continued to add:
"Also, the little girl may have crawled here from the next room by herself."
"Police...Comrade policeman, how do you conclude that the little girl crawled here from the next room?" The middle-aged female receptionist was not a policeman after all.
But looking at Gu Chen's various analyzes now, the middle-aged female receptionist doesn't know what basis Gu Chen said so? So I came here to ask for clues.
Gu Chen pointed to the air conditioner outside and said:
"The outer unit of the air conditioner is covered with thick dust, and there are traces of fingers touching it."
"Judging from the size of the mark, it should be a small handprint, that is, the handprint of a little girl."
"Besides, the space outside the window is very narrow, and it may be difficult for adults to pass through. A three-year-old girl should be able to meet this requirement in terms of body shape."
"That is to say, my daughter climbed out of the room through the window, then climbed through the eaves, climbed over the air conditioner, and then came out of the window of this room, right?" The middle-aged man heard Gu Chen say so, It is also confirmed again and again.
Gu Chen nodded slightly: "And he was carried into the house."
"That is to say, the resident of this room took my daughter?" the middle-aged man said again.
Gu Chen confirmed, "If you follow the chronological order, this should be the case."
"Because you and your wife left the room at 5 o'clock in the morning, and the residents of this house obviously checked out later than you."
"And during this time, it's hard to say whether your daughter has crawled out of the window of this room from the next room."
Yuan Shasha, who understood Gu Chen's meaning, hurriedly asked the couple, "Do your two daughters usually have ADHD? Just like to run around?"
"No...no, my daughter is very good." Seeing Yuan Shasha's question, the woman said with a guilty conscience.
Lu Weiwei saw the problem, and said solemnly: "Madam, we are now investigating your daughter's disappearance. If you don't even tell the truth, then I think the probability of finding your daughter will be very low."
After a pause, Lu Weiwei adjusted her tone again, and asked, "Does your daughter have a restless personality? Like climbing windows?"
"No...no." The middle-aged woman shook her head again.
But at this moment, the middle-aged man sighed and complained to his wife, "Wife, even now, you can't get your daughter back by doing this."
With a heavy sigh, the man turned his head to look at Gu Chen, and said sincerely:
"Comrade policeman, let me tell you the truth, my daughter is really restless."
"I have also experienced climbing windows before, so it is very likely that she climbed from the room to the outside."
Seeing that the man was honest, Gu Chen also said: "Then your daughter was probably taken away by the residents of this house."
"You mean, my daughter was taken away by human traffickers? The occupants of this room are human traffickers?" The middle-aged woman almost fainted from fright when she heard this explanation.
Every mother is afraid of hearing the word "human trafficker", and middle-aged women are no exception.
Fortunately, the middle-aged man supported his wife and quickly comforted her.
This time, the middle-aged waitress was quite frightened, and she murmured, "This...why is there a human trafficker living in the house?"
"Don't worry." Gu Chen stabilized the emotions of the people in the room, and also invited everyone out of the room, and then called Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha to one side.
"I suspect that the little girl might be restless, so she crawled out of the window, and out of curiosity, she crawled outside Xu Tiankai and Zhou Min's room."
"However, because I heard the two talking in the room, I was discovered by the two again."
"In order not to expose what the two of them discussed, I kidnapped the little girl and left quietly with the little girl."
"En." Hearing Gu Chen's explanation, Police Officer Wang also echoed:
"I also have this feeling. After all, how many secrets are hidden between Xu Tiankai and Zhou Min? No one knows."
"And the two seem to have a lot of doubts. If Liu Yi's death has nothing to do with these two people, I don't believe it."
"I don't believe it either, maybe the two of them were discussing some shady business in the room, but they happened to be overheard by the little girl."
"After discovering the little girl, they had no choice but to help the little girl away," Lu Weiwei said.
"Then what should we do now?" Yuan Shasha asked.
Gu Chen pondered for a moment, then calmed down and said, "I just need to find out about Zhou Min's situation first."
"Xu Tiankai, he won't go home, but Zhou Min should have relatives in Jiangnan City, including her parents."
"If you can't find any trace of Xu Tiankai for the time being, then investigate Zhou Min."
"It's fine." After listening to Gu Chen's explanation, Lu Weiwei has no choice now.
After all, Xu Tiankai and Zhou Min quietly left Xinxin Hotel in the early morning.
But with a three-year-old girl, the goal is big and it is easy to be discovered.
But at this moment, perhaps the two have secretly transferred the little girl.
Thinking that the situation was more complicated, Gu didn't have time to think too much, and directly led everyone to prepare to leave the scene.
Seeing this, the little girl's mother grabbed Gu Chen and said, "Comrade policeman, my daughter..."
"We will help you find her, but now we need to give us some time." Gu Chen said.
"But, how do we contact you?" The middle-aged man looked nervous, fearing that the last straw would be gone.
Gu Chen took out the criminal investigation team's business card and sent it to the couple, and then asked for their contact information.
After a brief communication between the two parties in the corridor of the hotel, Gu Chen took everyone away quickly.
Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong stayed at the scene to deal with the aftermath.
Sitting in the police car again, Gu Chen immediately called He Junchao and asked He Junchao to help him investigate Zhou Min's home address.
It was also during the long waiting process that He Junchao's call came late.
Gu Chen swiped the answer button and asked, "Senior Brother He, have you found Zhou Min's home address?"
"I found it, but..."
He Junchao hesitated to speak, it seems that the situation is not easy to be optimistic.
Gu Chen asked, "But what?"
"Gu Chen, the situation of Zhou Min's family is not very good." He Junchao, who was on the phone, was also silent for a few seconds before explaining the situation of Zhou Min's family:
"To put it simply, Zhou Min's parents are divorced, and Zhou Min lives with his father, Zhou Lihao."
"However, Zhou Lihao was arrested and imprisoned by our police five years ago for participating in telecommunications fraud, and he was released at the beginning of the year."
"As for Zhou Min's original home, the house has been sold long ago. Now Zhou Min has always lived in a rented house, and has no fixed place to live."
"Let's not talk about that for now." Hearing such a reply, although Gu Chen had some sympathy for Zhou Min, it was still important to deal with it.
So Gu Chen asked He Junchao again: "Zhou Min is in Jiangnan City now, what relatives do you have?"
"It doesn't look like a family member, but his father, Zhou Lihao, rents in the Lushan Community and opened a braised meat shop there. I'll send you the address."
While speaking, He Junchao immediately retrieved the address of Zhou Min's father, Zhou Lihao, and sent it to Gu Chen directly by text message.
After a brief communication between the two, Gu Chen hung up the phone, started the car, and drove towards the Green Mountain Community.
The Green Mountain community is near the outskirts of the city, surrounded by many old communities that are being demolished.
The old and new communities here also complement each other, giving people a sense of fusion of ancient and modern.
The Lushan community was originally a family area of a state-owned enterprise, and most of the houses were four-story old buildings.
On an old street between Lushan Community and other communities, there are shops on both sides, but the area is not too large, it belongs to the community street, and all the businesses are in the community.
As the police car slowly drove into the narrow street, Gu Chen soon found a stewed meat shop.
At this moment, an unkempt middle-aged man was sitting in the stewed meat shop in a daze.
At this moment, people are returning home from get off work, and the number of pedestrians on the street is gradually increasing.
Occasionally, there will be some uncles and aunts who pass by the door of the store, take a look at them at random, and then leave.
"It should be here." Gu Chen glanced at the phone, and checked again based on the clues He Junchao got, before motioning everyone to get out of the car.
The four of them closed the car door and walked straight to the door of this "Lao Zhou Braised Meat Shop".
Seeing four figures appearing at the door, the unkempt middle-aged man recovered from his daze and raised his head slightly.
Seeing that there were four policemen, the middle-aged man got up slowly, and also asked, "How many...what do you want?"
"You are Zhou Lihao?" Gu Chen cut to the chase.
The middle-aged man froze for a moment, then nodded weakly: "Yes... yes, I am Zhou Lihao."
"Is it convenient to chat?" Lu Weiwei asked.
Zhou Lihao was a little hesitant. Seeing the curious eyes from the neighbors coming from the door from time to time, Zhou Lihao had an embarrassed expression and nodded in agreement:
"Okay, where do you want to talk?"
Zhou Lihao seemed to know that the police were looking for him to discuss something, so he handed over the choice to the police.
Gu Chen also saw the strange eyes of the surrounding neighbors towards Zhou Lihao.
At this moment, there were people coming and going on the side of the road, and Zhou Lihao seemed to be a little embarrassed to be surrounded by four policemen asking about things.
So Gu Chen looked around, and then pointed to his own police lane: "Shall we chat in the car?"
"Okay." Hearing Gu Chen's words, Zhou Lihao walked out of his narrow braised meat shop without hesitation, and then pulled down the shutter.
After that, they followed Gu Chen and the others to the police car.
Sitting in the middle of the back row, Zhou Lihao was surrounded by four people, and felt uneasy for a while.
Gu Chen put the law enforcement recorder backwards in front of the vehicle, took out the notebook, and then asked, "Zhou Lihao, have you ever had a medical record before?"
"Yes." Zhou Lihao lowered his head and spoke softly.
"Going through the prison?" Lu Weiwei also asked.
Zhou Lihao nodded silently: "I have entered."
"What's the reason?" Officer Wang asked.
"Just... Telecom fraud. At that time, I followed ordinary acquaintances and wanted to go outside to make more money. Then, by mistake, I was brought into a telephony gang. Later, I used telegraphic fraud to Made some money."
Sniffing his nose, Zhou Lihao also looked remorseful, and he couldn't help but sighed: "I can't help it. Later, the team was taken over by your police, and I was also caught."
"Because the amount of money involved was a bit large, and he was a key member of the team, he was arrested and jailed for several years."
Listening to Zhou Lihao's confession, Yuan Shasha asked, "Then who else is in your family now?"
"At home...at home..." After hesitating for a long time, Zhou Lihao shook his head and said: "There is no one at home, and I am alone."
"No way? What about your wife and children?" Gu Chen asked again.
Zhou Lihao said with some embarrassment: "My wife divorced me before I participated in the wire fraud. I have a daughter with me."
"However, because I participated in wire fraud activities, she couldn't hold her head up in front of the neighbors. Later, I went in and my daughter lived alone."
Gu Chen recorded these on the record, and also reminded: "Is your daughter's name Zhou Min?"
"Ah?" Feeling that the police came prepared, Zhou Lihao raised his head slightly and said slowly, "That's right, her name is Zhou Min, have you investigated?"
"Leave this alone." Gu Chen turned the pen with his right hand, looked at Zhou Lihao's haggard face through the rearview mirror, and continued to ask:
"You said that after you went to prison, your daughter lived alone, so she lived at home, right?"
"No." Zhou Lihao shook his head, and said involuntarily, "My daughter hates me. After I went to prison, she sold the house, and then took the money from the sale and disappeared."
With a faint sigh, Zhou Lihao said again: "During the years I was in prison, she never came to see me or contact me. Later, when I was released from prison, I came to the house alone, only to find that the previous house , already has a new master.”
Choked up, Zhou Lihao also wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said in frustration:
"After inquiring, I found out that I was no longer homeless. The only home I had was no longer there, and my daughter was nowhere to be found."
"So, since you were released from prison, you have been opening a stewed meat shop here, but your daughter Zhou Min has never come to see you?" Lu Weiwei felt that something was wrong, so she also asked.
But Zhou Lihao shook his head and denied:
"That's not true. One day when I was selling braised pork, a familiar figure suddenly appeared at the door. It was my daughter Zhou Min."
"She saw that I was in such a state of desperation, so she said something, let's go out for dinner together."
"I was so happy at the time, so I followed my daughter to a nearby restaurant."
"I asked her at the time? Why didn't you visit me all these years? Although I am a wire fraudster, I am also her father."
"Then what did she say?" Yuan Shasha asked.
"Hehe." Zhou Lihao laughed twice, and said with a sob: "She said that she has no father, let alone a home."
"I said, did she sell the house at home? She admitted it, and I asked her, how much did she sell it for? Is the money still there?"
"She said, don't worry about it. I owe her this. As for the money, she advised me not to make up my mind."
With a heavy sigh, Zhou Lihao seemed to feel that his life had failed enough.
The daughter neglected herself, and the house was sold by her daughter.
Now, alone, I set up a small shop in the community and started a braised pork business.
But now, if Gu Chen and the others hadn't mentioned the past, Zhou Lihao seemed to have almost forgotten all the painful things.
It was also after learning about the situation that Gu Chen came straight to the point and said truthfully:
"To tell you the truth, Mr. Zhou, we came to you this time to learn more about your daughter Zhou Min from you."
"What's wrong with my daughter? Did she commit a crime?" Hearing the reason for the police's visit this time, Zhou Lihao, who was still depressed just now, suddenly became nervous.
Lu Weiwei quickly comforted: "Mr. Zhou, don't worry, we are just investigating a case."
"Not long ago, a resident singer in a bar was found strangled to death and thrown into the river."
"And the identity of this bar singer is your daughter Zhou Min's boyfriend."
"However, after the mysterious death of your daughter Zhou Min's boyfriend, she stayed with another man and even disappeared together."
"We are currently unable to grasp her specific movements, so we can only ask you to understand the situation, do you understand what I mean?"
"Understood." Hearing what the police said, Zhou Lihao suddenly understood.
Only then did he realize that the police looking for him actually wanted to learn something about his daughter Zhou Min from him.
But thinking that his daughter would be involved in something, Zhou Lihao's mood suddenly became tense.
Also trying to calm down, Zhou Lihao asked:
"Comrade policeman, my daughter is not like me. I used to be a wire fraudster, but I still know my daughter. She will not do such outrageous things. Really, please trust me."
"We, the police, only believe in evidence." Seeing Zhou Lihao pleading for his daughter Zhou Min, Gu Chen responded with a single word.
Zhou Lihao leaned forward, and said again: "Comrade policeman, my daughter..."
"What was your daughter's situation before? I don't know. What's the situation now? We just don't know much about it."
"However, the deceased was Zhou Min's boyfriend, but after her boyfriend died, she mysteriously disappeared."
"Also, according to our investigation of clues, Zhou Min and another man were actually in a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship at the same time."
Turning the pen with his right hand, Gu Chen also continued to remind: "So we urgently need to understand clearly, especially the relationship between Zhou Min and these two people."
"I understand." Listening to Gu Chen's detailed explanation, Zhou Lihao was a little helpless, but still pleaded:
"Comrade police, I understand your feelings, but where is my daughter? I really don't know."
"Mr. Zhou, don't worry." Seeing that Zhou Lihao was in a hurry, Gu Chen said comfortingly:
"We just want to know, how many times did your daughter contact you after you were released from prison? How much can you learn about her from her current situation?"
"Including, those close to her."
"this……"
It seems that Gu Chen is having a hard time for himself, but after Zhou Lihao thinks over and over again, he also tried to recall and said:
"Let's put it this way, that time she found me and had dinner with me in a small restaurant, and I also asked her about her current situation."
"She said she works in a bar and everything is fine."
"I asked her if she had a boyfriend? She said, don't worry about it."
After a pause, Zhou Lihao looked out the window and continued to think: "But later, I sneaked to her place of work and stood far outside, waiting until it was dark."
"It's like knowing whether she is doing well, but she is always surrounded by a group of people, and she gets in the car as soon as she goes out. I can't catch up with her at all."
"Don't you have phone contact with her?" Lu Weiwei couldn't believe it.
"No." Zhou Lihao shook his head and said helplessly, "She didn't leave me a phone number, and I just wanted to see how he is doing recently."
"What about other things? You haven't seen her?" Officer Wang continued to ask.
Zhou Lihao frowned, and continued: "Oh yes, another time, I saw my daughter arm in arm with a man on the street, as if she was shopping."
"I tried my best to find the trace of my daughter, but they disappeared in the crowd, and I didn't see them in the end."
"Who is it?" Hearing what Zhou Lihao said, Gu Chen quickly took out his phone and clicked on the photo album.
Afterwards, Xu Tiankai and Liu Yi's ID photos were shown in front of Zhou Lihao.
Zhou Lihao also thought briefly, and quickly pointed to Xu Tiankai's photo and said, "It's this person."
"What time?" Gu Chen asked again.
"Uh, a week ago." Zhou Lihao said.
When Gu Chen saw these records, he also looked at Zhou Lihao in the rearview mirror, took a long breath and said:
"Mr. Zhou, to be honest, just this morning, your daughter Zhou Min and this man were in a hotel. They suspected that they kidnapped a three-year-old girl and disappeared."
"Now the girl's parents have called the police, and our police are investigating. If you know Zhou Min's clues, or know Zhou Min's whereabouts, please contact us in time."
"What did you say?" Hearing what Gu Chen said, Zhou Lihao immediately became tense.
Lu Weiwei hurriedly reminded: "It's your daughter Zhou Min, who may be involved in all the kidnappings."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible." It seems to be very resistant to this statement.
Zhou Lihao, who was relatively calm before, immediately became irritable, and retorted emotionally:
"I think you must have made a mistake. No matter how badass my daughter is, she would never do such a thing."
Looking up at Gu Chen in the front row, Zhou Lihao said unwillingly: "Comrade policeman, you are talking nonsense, you are talking nonsense."
Seeing that Zhou Lihao was too emotional, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, who were sitting on both sides of Zhou Lihao in the back row, immediately grabbed Zhou Lihao's arms from the left and right to keep him calm.
Lu Weiwei also frowned slightly, warning: "Mr. Zhou, I hope you calm down, we are investigating this case."
"Just judging from all the current signs, the missing little girl was indeed kidnapped by your daughter."
"If you want to find out the specific situation, please cooperate with our police investigation instead of messing around here."
"If you do this, you will only make things more and more complicated. If you are doing it for your daughter's benefit, I hope you will cooperate with us."
"me……"
The emotional Zhou Lihao seemed to be out of breath.
I also tried to adjust my breathing, and then said in frustration: "Comrade police, you must have made a mistake. You said, my daughter is fine, why is she going to kidnap a little girl?"
"Because this little girl may have heard the conversation between your daughter and this man, so in order to hide the secret, your daughter suspected that the little girl was taken away."
Gu Chen also analyzed what he knew, and quickly analyzed it with Zhou Lihao.
Zhou Lihao frowned, and said in retrospect, "Could it be that this man is the one who lured my daughter into committing a crime?"
"You can't say that. We are still investigating this matter." Seeing Zhou Lihao start to think wildly, Police Officer Wang also wanted to stabilize his mood.
But Gu Chen hurriedly said again: "Mr. Zhou, your daughter is currently involved in a murder, and she has the time to do it."
"She had two boyfriends at the same time, and when her other boyfriend was strangled to death with a rope and thrown into the river, she was with the other boyfriend."
"Not only that, there is also the possibility of timing. After all, among the people the deceased had contact with before his death, your daughter Zhou Min and that man are all suspected of serious crimes. There may be some deep-seated ties between the two groups of people. contradiction."
"Wait a minute."
It seemed that his head had been stimulated, and as soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Zhou Lihao put his hands on his head, in excruciating pain.
The whole person seemed to have a sudden change of face, and looked very painful.
Gu Chen hurriedly reminded, "Mr. Zhou, what's wrong with you?"
"I... I have a headache, can you, can you take me to the hospital first?"
While Zhou Lihao was speaking, his whole body seemed to be breaking out in cold sweat, and his lips began to gradually change color.
Officer Wang saw that something was wrong, so he quickly reminded Gu Chen, "Gu Chen, Zhou Lihao seems to be sick."
"How did this happen?" In fact, Gu Chen also saw that something was wrong with Zhou Lihao, so he quickly started the car and said:
"Don't worry about that, let's take him to the hospital first."
While talking, I saw the police car with the license plate ending in AE86, the wheels were spinning rapidly on the spot, and rushed out quickly.
The vehicle rushed directly towards the nearest hospital.
At this time, Zhou Lihao was still holding his head in his hands, his whole body was in pain, and he soon fell into a coma.
This startled Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha in the back row.
Police officer Wang kept pinching Zhou Lihao's shoulders, slapping Zhou Lihao's cheeks, and calling Zhou Lihao's name, but Zhou Lihao never responded.
Gu Chen turned on the siren, and the car moved forward quickly under the blessing of the siren.
Many surrounding vehicles also quickly gave way to both sides of the road.
Half an hour later, Gu Chen sent Zhou Lihao to a nearby tertiary hospital.
With the help of ambulance personnel, Zhou Lihao was quickly taken to the emergency room.
It was originally an inquiry, but the subject of the inquiry was sent to the hospital directly.
This wave of operations will directly kill everyone.
Police officer Wang, who was walking back and forth outside the emergency room with his hands on his hips, also looked confused: "What's going on with Zhou Lihao this week? Could it be that he blackmailed us?"
"I don't think so." Yuan Shasha, who was sitting on the seat outside, also shook her head like a rattle.
Police officer Wang reminded: "If you know people, you know their faces, but you don't know your heart, how can you be sure that they are not blackmailing you?"
"Senior Brother Wang, you can't fake the pain. Didn't you see that Zhou Lihao's face changed like that at that time? I guess, this Zhou Lihao may have some underlying disease? Let's see."
Yuan Shasha had been sitting next to Zhou Lihao at that time, and she could clearly feel that Zhou Lihao was trembling with pain at that time, which seemed very serious.
Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei were leaning side by side in the hospital corridor, waiting quietly.
Compared with the bustle of coming and going in the hospital, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei seemed much quieter.
Lu Weiwei couldn't wait any longer, so she asked Gu Chen, "Junior Brother Gu, what do you think..."
"Zhou Lihao is ill, and the illness is not clear, it looks very serious." Before Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Gu Chen followed up to give his opinion.
Lu Weiwei nodded silently, and continued: "However, this Zhou Lihao's body is so stretched, and his daughter Zhou Min doesn't care about it."
"Moreover, he even sold the house privately, which made Zhou Lihao homeless after he was released from prison."
"Now, Zhou Lihao is so sick that she, Zhou Min, can't even see her."
With a faint sigh, Lu Weiwei also said with emotion: "I really don't know, how many sins did this Zhou Lihao commit? In exchange for his current homelessness?"
Turning her head and glancing at Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei said again: "Perhaps, this is the reward of evil, right?"
"Maybe." As soon as Gu Chen replied, he found that the attending doctor had come out.
So Gu Chen straightened his body and walked quickly towards the doctor.
Seeing this, Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha also quickly surrounded them.
"Are you the family members of the patient?" A middle-aged doctor in a white coat took off his mask and looked curiously at the four policemen in front of him.
Gu Chen shook his head and denied: "We are not his family members, we happened to talk to him about the matter and found that he was unwell, so we rushed him to the hospital."
After thinking about it, Gu Chen asked again: "Doctor, what's his situation now? Why did he suddenly..."
"Damn!" Before Gu Chen finished speaking, the doctor sighed heavily, and said helplessly:
"This person has liver cancer, at an advanced stage."
"What? Liver cancer?" Hearing this, everyone present was stunned on the spot.
Everyone looked at each other and was also shocked on the spot by this sudden situation.
And the doctor continued: "The patient must have known it himself. They are all like this, and there is no possibility of continuing the treatment."
"Now, the patient can only bear it by himself. The pain to a certain degree of coma may be the best choice for him to get rid of the pain."
"Otherwise, after waking up, there will be endless pain again."
After the words fell, the doctor also sighed and asked, "Can any of you register for me?"
"How about I go?" Yuan Shasha said.
Although everyone didn't know much about Zhou Lihao's situation, everyone had investigated Zhou Lihao beforehand, so they also had the basic information of Zhou Lihao in their hands.
So Gu Chen nodded and agreed: "Then trouble Xiao Yuan."
"No trouble." Yuan Shasha shook her head and followed the attending doctor to leave the scene.
Afterwards, Zhou Lihao was pushed out of the emergency room by the cart, and with the help of the nurse, he pushed towards the ward.
Gu Chen and the others could only follow.
With the help of several Miss Nightingale, the patient was put on a drip, and everyone sat around.
Feeling that the investigation has reached a dead end, Xu Tiankai and Zhou Min's whereabouts are unknown, and the little girl next door also mysteriously disappeared.
In addition, now that Zhou Min's father is also in the late stage of liver cancer, everyone was at a loss for a while.
Just when everyone was discussing how to contact Zhou Lihao's other relatives, Zhou Lihao seemed to wake up.
But then, there was another howl of pain.
Gu Chen and the others surrounded him, only to see that Zhou Lihao's eyes were hazy, as if he was waking up, but he didn't fully wake up.
Hearing Zhou Lihao's painful cry, Lu Weiwei also said anxiously: "What should we do now?"
"How would I know?" Officer Wang spread his hands, helpless.
Seeing this, an old lady in the next bed asked curiously, "Comrade policeman, what's the situation with this patient?"
"Oh." Hearing this, the old lady said something, and Gu Chen quickly replied, "Liver cancer, advanced stage."
"Oh." The old lady seemed to be indifferent to life and death, and she sighed:
"Then...then there is no way, the pain can only continue forever. If it is in the late stage, then...then you can only ask for blessings."
Shaking her head, the old lady said again immediately: "Then you... who are his?"
"We... We also met him for the first time. We saw that he was sick, so we sent him to the hospital." Lu Weiwei also said truthfully.
"What about his relatives?" asked the old lady in the next bed.
"I don't know, we also want to find his relatives." Officer Wang said.
"Oh, poor, poor."
The old lady here was also sighing, and a middle-aged woman suddenly came to the door, and she also lamented: "Mom, you are already pitiful enough, and you still say that others are pitiful."
The middle-aged woman may be the daughter-in-law or daughter of the old lady. She is holding food in her hand, as if she is here to deliver food to the old man.
Seeing three policemen standing in the ward, their voice suddenly became much quieter, and one person walked to the old lady silently, and said in a low voice:
"Mom, it's time to eat."
"Don't eat it, anyway, an old bone is a waste of food if you eat it, forget it if you die." The old lady seemed to be a little stubborn, which made the middle-aged woman quite embarrassed.
But the middle-aged woman didn't care about this, and directly started to divide the food, and then started to spoon the old man into his mouth.
At this moment, Zhou Lihao, who was in pain, seemed to be gradually waking up. He looked at Gu Chen and the others standing beside him, and greeted him weakly:
"Police...comrade policeman."
"Ah?" also suddenly realized, Gu Chen quickly came to Zhou Lihao's side and asked, "Mr. Zhou, how is your body feeling now?"
"It hurts!" Zhou Lihao said helplessly, weakly, "I'm sick, I have fainted before, but that happened a few months ago."
"I just didn't expect it to be so sudden this time. If it wasn't for you guys staying by my side, I...I really don't know..."
"Oh, stop talking." Looking at Zhou Lihao's pitiful look, Lu Weiwei also sighed, walked to his side and said:
"You said that you are really in poor health. Why don't you have any relatives around you? Tell me quickly, which relatives are around, and I will help you call relatives to take care of you."
"No need." Hearing what Lu Weiwei said, Zhou Lihao immediately shook his head and vetoed:
"Since I've been in prison, it feels like I have no friends, no family."
"It's fine for me to be alone now, so I don't need to trouble others."
"That doesn't work either." Police Officer Wang said loudly, "You look like this, how can you have no one to take care of you?"
"If your daughter Zhou Min knows, I hope she will come back to take care of you immediately."

Gu Chen walked directly towards the windowsill, opened the window, and poked his head out.
The external unit of the air conditioner is covered with thick dust, and in the dust, there are many traces of finger friction.
But judging from the situation at the scene, Gu Chen could tell that these handprints were very small, like the marks produced by a three-year-old child rubbing the outer unit of the air conditioner.
Looking at the signs around, there seemed to be traces of the little girl outside the window.
When Gu Chen checked the room before, he did not search the window because he was sure that Xu Tiankai and Zhou Min had left.
But this time, the disappearance of the little girl in the next room made Gu Chen suddenly realize that the little girl might have jumped over the window from the next room and came directly to the next room because of her playfulness.
And looking at the window sill, there are still a few fibers on the uneven part of the outer wall.
Gu Chen took out his mobile phone, took these pictures, turned around and asked the parents of the little girl standing outside the door behind him:
"Aren't you two children wearing a red coat?"
"Comrade police, you... how do you know?" After all, Gu Chen has never seen the little girl before, but he was able to tell the color of his daughter's coat, which shocked the middle-aged man.
Lu Weiwei reminded from the side: "In other words, your daughter is really wearing a red coat today, right?"
"Isn't it? The jacket my daughter is wearing today is red." Seeing that the policemen were a bit aggressive, the middle-aged woman quickly agreed.
Officer Wang approached Gu Chen and asked Gu Chen, "Gu Chen, how did you know?"
Gu Chen took back his phone, and pointed to the uneven spot on the outer wall of the window sill and said:
"At the corner of the wall outside the window, there are some red fibers. I conclude that this should be the little girl who was brought into the room through the window, and the coat was accidentally scraped off."
"So that's the case?" Hearing what Gu Chen said, Officer Wang checked again.
I found that it was indeed as Gu Chen said, but when I looked back and looked at the room, Officer Wang also thought about it and said:
"Hey Gu Chen, tell me, did this little girl climb to the window sill of the room over here through the outer wall outside the window next door, and then enter this room through the window sill?"
"There is a high probability." In fact, Gu Chen also wanted to say this, and expressed his own judgment:
"I feel that there is a high probability that the little girl was brought in from the house by Xu Tiankai and Zhou Min."
"That's why, the little girl's coat was accidentally scratched by the uneven corners on the outside of the window sill."
"and……"
In the middle of the conversation, Gu Chen looked at the air conditioner outside the window, and continued to add:
"Also, the little girl may have crawled here from the next room by herself."
"Police...Comrade policeman, how do you conclude that the little girl crawled here from the next room?" The middle-aged female receptionist was not a policeman after all.
But looking at Gu Chen's various analyzes now, the middle-aged female receptionist doesn't know what basis Gu Chen said so? So I came here to ask for clues.
Gu Chen pointed to the air conditioner outside and said:
"The outer unit of the air conditioner is covered with thick dust, and there are traces of fingers touching it."
"Judging from the size of the mark, it should be a small handprint, that is, the handprint of a little girl."
"Besides, the space outside the window is very narrow, and it may be difficult for adults to pass through. A three-year-old girl should be able to meet this requirement in terms of body shape."
"That is to say, my daughter climbed out of the room through the window, then climbed through the eaves, climbed over the air conditioner, and then came out of the window of this room, right?" The middle-aged man heard Gu Chen say so, It is also confirmed again and again.
Gu Chen nodded slightly: "And he was carried into the house."
"That is to say, the resident of this room took my daughter?" the middle-aged man said again.
Gu Chen confirmed, "If you follow the chronological order, this should be the case."
"Because you and your wife left the room at 5 o'clock in the morning, and the residents of this house obviously checked out later than you."
"And during this time, it's hard to say whether your daughter has crawled out of the window of this room from the next room."
Yuan Shasha, who understood Gu Chen's meaning, hurriedly asked the couple, "Do your two daughters usually have ADHD? Just like to run around?"
"No...no, my daughter is very good." Seeing Yuan Shasha's question, the woman said with a guilty conscience.
Lu Weiwei saw the problem, and said solemnly: "Madam, we are now investigating your daughter's disappearance. If you don't even tell the truth, then I think the probability of finding your daughter will be very low."
After a pause, Lu Weiwei adjusted her tone again, and asked, "Does your daughter have a restless personality? Like climbing windows?"
"No...no." The middle-aged woman shook her head again.
But at this moment, the middle-aged man sighed and complained to his wife, "Wife, even now, you can't get your daughter back by doing this."
With a heavy sigh, the man turned his head to look at Gu Chen, and said sincerely:
"Comrade policeman, let me tell you the truth, my daughter is really restless."
"I have also experienced climbing windows before, so it is very likely that she climbed from the room to the outside."
Seeing that the man was honest, Gu Chen also said: "Then your daughter was probably taken away by the residents of this house."
"You mean, my daughter was taken away by human traffickers? The occupants of this room are human traffickers?" The middle-aged woman almost fainted from fright when she heard this explanation.
Every mother is afraid of hearing the word "human trafficker", and middle-aged women are no exception.
Fortunately, the middle-aged man supported his wife and quickly comforted her.
This time, the middle-aged waitress was quite frightened, and she murmured, "This...why is there a human trafficker living in the house?"
"Don't worry." Gu Chen stabilized the emotions of the people in the room, and also invited everyone out of the room, and then called Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha to one side.
"I suspect that the little girl might be restless, so she crawled out of the window, and out of curiosity, she crawled outside Xu Tiankai and Zhou Min's room."
"However, because I heard the two talking in the room, I was discovered by the two again."
"In order not to expose what the two of them discussed, I kidnapped the little girl and left quietly with the little girl."
"En." Hearing Gu Chen's explanation, Police Officer Wang also echoed:
"I also have this feeling. After all, how many secrets are hidden between Xu Tiankai and Zhou Min? No one knows."
"And the two seem to have a lot of doubts. If Liu Yi's death has nothing to do with these two people, I don't believe it."
"I don't believe it either, maybe the two of them were discussing some shady business in the room, but they happened to be overheard by the little girl."
"After discovering the little girl, they had no choice but to help the little girl away," Lu Weiwei said.
"Then what should we do now?" Yuan Shasha asked.
Gu Chen pondered for a moment, then calmed down and said, "I just need to find out about Zhou Min's situation first."
"Xu Tiankai, he won't go home, but Zhou Min should have relatives in Jiangnan City, including her parents."
"If you can't find any trace of Xu Tiankai for the time being, then investigate Zhou Min."
"It's fine." After listening to Gu Chen's explanation, Lu Weiwei has no choice now.
After all, Xu Tiankai and Zhou Min quietly left Xinxin Hotel in the early morning.
But with a three-year-old girl, the goal is big and it is easy to be discovered.
But at this moment, perhaps the two have secretly transferred the little girl.
Thinking that the situation was more complicated, Gu didn't have time to think too much, and directly led everyone to prepare to leave the scene.
Seeing this, the little girl's mother grabbed Gu Chen and said, "Comrade policeman, my daughter..."
"We will help you find her, but now we need to give us some time." Gu Chen said.
"But, how do we contact you?" The middle-aged man looked nervous, fearing that the last straw would be gone.
Gu Chen took out the criminal investigation team's business card and sent it to the couple, and then asked for their contact information.
After a brief communication between the two parties in the corridor of the hotel, Gu Chen took everyone away quickly.
Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong stayed at the scene to deal with the aftermath.
Sitting in the police car again, Gu Chen immediately called He Junchao and asked He Junchao to help him investigate Zhou Min's home address.
It was also during the long waiting process that He Junchao's call came late.
Gu Chen swiped the answer button and asked, "Senior Brother He, have you found Zhou Min's home address?"
"I found it, but..."
He Junchao hesitated to speak, it seems that the situation is not easy to be optimistic.
Gu Chen asked, "But what?"
"Gu Chen, the situation of Zhou Min's family is not very good." He Junchao, who was on the phone, was also silent for a few seconds before explaining the situation of Zhou Min's family:
"To put it simply, Zhou Min's parents are divorced, and Zhou Min lives with his father, Zhou Lihao."
"However, Zhou Lihao was arrested and imprisoned by our police five years ago for participating in telecommunications fraud, and he was released at the beginning of the year."
"As for Zhou Min's original home, the house has been sold long ago. Now Zhou Min has always lived in a rented house, and has no fixed place to live."
"Let's not talk about that for now." Hearing such a reply, although Gu Chen had some sympathy for Zhou Min, it was still important to deal with it.
So Gu Chen asked He Junchao again: "Zhou Min is in Jiangnan City now, what relatives do you have?"
"It doesn't look like a family member, but his father, Zhou Lihao, rents in the Lushan Community and opened a braised meat shop there. I'll send you the address."
While speaking, He Junchao immediately retrieved the address of Zhou Min's father, Zhou Lihao, and sent it to Gu Chen directly by text message.
After a brief communication between the two, Gu Chen hung up the phone, started the car, and drove towards the Green Mountain Community.
The Green Mountain community is near the outskirts of the city, surrounded by many old communities that are being demolished.
The old and new communities here also complement each other, giving people a sense of fusion of ancient and modern.
The Lushan community was originally a family area of a state-owned enterprise, and most of the houses were four-story old buildings.
On an old street between Lushan Community and other communities, there are shops on both sides, but the area is not too large, it belongs to the community street, and all the businesses are in the community.
As the police car slowly drove into the narrow street, Gu Chen soon found a stewed meat shop.
At this moment, an unkempt middle-aged man was sitting in the stewed meat shop in a daze.
At this moment, people are returning home from get off work, and the number of pedestrians on the street is gradually increasing.
Occasionally, there will be some uncles and aunts who pass by the door of the store, take a look at them at random, and then leave.
"It should be here." Gu Chen glanced at the phone, and checked again based on the clues He Junchao got, before motioning everyone to get out of the car.
The four of them closed the car door and walked straight to the door of this "Lao Zhou Braised Meat Shop".
Seeing four figures appearing at the door, the unkempt middle-aged man recovered from his daze and raised his head slightly.
Seeing that there were four policemen, the middle-aged man got up slowly, and also asked, "How many...what do you want?"
"You are Zhou Lihao?" Gu Chen cut to the chase.
The middle-aged man froze for a moment, then nodded weakly: "Yes... yes, I am Zhou Lihao."
"Is it convenient to chat?" Lu Weiwei asked.
Zhou Lihao was a little hesitant. Seeing the curious eyes from the neighbors coming from the door from time to time, Zhou Lihao had an embarrassed expression and nodded in agreement:
"Okay, where do you want to talk?"
Zhou Lihao seemed to know that the police were looking for him to discuss something, so he handed over the choice to the police.
Gu Chen also saw the strange eyes of the surrounding neighbors towards Zhou Lihao.
At this moment, there were people coming and going on the side of the road, and Zhou Lihao seemed to be a little embarrassed to be surrounded by four policemen asking about things.
So Gu Chen looked around, and then pointed to his own police lane: "Shall we chat in the car?"
"Okay." Hearing Gu Chen's words, Zhou Lihao walked out of his narrow braised meat shop without hesitation, and then pulled down the shutter.
After that, they followed Gu Chen and the others to the police car.
Sitting in the middle of the back row, Zhou Lihao was surrounded by four people, and felt uneasy for a while.
Gu Chen put the law enforcement recorder backwards in front of the vehicle, took out the notebook, and then asked, "Zhou Lihao, have you ever had a medical record before?"
"Yes." Zhou Lihao lowered his head and spoke softly.
"Going through the prison?" Lu Weiwei also asked.
Zhou Lihao nodded silently: "I have entered."
"What's the reason?" Officer Wang asked.
"Just... Telecom fraud. At that time, I followed ordinary acquaintances and wanted to go outside to make more money. Then, by mistake, I was brought into a telephony gang. Later, I used telegraphic fraud to Made some money."
Sniffing his nose, Zhou Lihao also looked remorseful, and he couldn't help but sighed: "I can't help it. Later, the team was taken over by your police, and I was also caught."
"Because the amount of money involved was a bit large, and he was a key member of the team, he was arrested and jailed for several years."
Listening to Zhou Lihao's confession, Yuan Shasha asked, "Then who else is in your family now?"
"At home...at home..." After hesitating for a long time, Zhou Lihao shook his head and said: "There is no one at home, and I am alone."
"No way? What about your wife and children?" Gu Chen asked again.
Zhou Lihao said with some embarrassment: "My wife divorced me before I participated in the wire fraud. I have a daughter with me."
"However, because I participated in wire fraud activities, she couldn't hold her head up in front of the neighbors. Later, I went in and my daughter lived alone."
Gu Chen recorded these on the record, and also reminded: "Is your daughter's name Zhou Min?"
"Ah?" Feeling that the police came prepared, Zhou Lihao raised his head slightly and said slowly, "That's right, her name is Zhou Min, have you investigated?"
"Leave this alone." Gu Chen turned the pen with his right hand, looked at Zhou Lihao's haggard face through the rearview mirror, and continued to ask:
"You said that after you went to prison, your daughter lived alone, so she lived at home, right?"
"No." Zhou Lihao shook his head, and said involuntarily, "My daughter hates me. After I went to prison, she sold the house, and then took the money from the sale and disappeared."
With a faint sigh, Zhou Lihao said again: "During the years I was in prison, she never came to see me or contact me. Later, when I was released from prison, I came to the house alone, only to find that the previous house , already has a new master.”
Choked up, Zhou Lihao also wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said in frustration:
"After inquiring, I found out that I was no longer homeless. The only home I had was no longer there, and my daughter was nowhere to be found."
"So, since you were released from prison, you have been opening a stewed meat shop here, but your daughter Zhou Min has never come to see you?" Lu Weiwei felt that something was wrong, so she also asked.
But Zhou Lihao shook his head and denied:
"That's not true. One day when I was selling braised pork, a familiar figure suddenly appeared at the door. It was my daughter Zhou Min."
"She saw that I was in such a state of desperation, so she said something, let's go out for dinner together."
"I was so happy at the time, so I followed my daughter to a nearby restaurant."
"I asked her at the time? Why didn't you visit me all these years? Although I am a wire fraudster, I am also her father."
"Then what did she say?" Yuan Shasha asked.
"Hehe." Zhou Lihao laughed twice, and said with a sob: "She said that she has no father, let alone a home."
"I said, did she sell the house at home? She admitted it, and I asked her, how much did she sell it for? Is the money still there?"
"She said, don't worry about it. I owe her this. As for the money, she advised me not to make up my mind."
With a heavy sigh, Zhou Lihao seemed to feel that his life had failed enough.
The daughter neglected herself, and the house was sold by her daughter.
Now, alone, I set up a small shop in the community and started a braised pork business.
But now, if Gu Chen and the others hadn't mentioned the past, Zhou Lihao seemed to have almost forgotten all the painful things.
It was also after learning about the situation that Gu Chen came straight to the point and said truthfully:
"To tell you the truth, Mr. Zhou, we came to you this time to learn more about your daughter Zhou Min from you."
"What's wrong with my daughter? Did she commit a crime?" Hearing the reason for the police's visit this time, Zhou Lihao, who was still depressed just now, suddenly became nervous.
Lu Weiwei quickly comforted: "Mr. Zhou, don't worry, we are just investigating a case."
"Not long ago, a resident singer in a bar was found strangled to death and thrown into the river."
"And the identity of this bar singer is your daughter Zhou Min's boyfriend."
"However, after the mysterious death of your daughter Zhou Min's boyfriend, she stayed with another man and even disappeared together."
"We are currently unable to grasp her specific movements, so we can only ask you to understand the situation, do you understand what I mean?"
"Understood." Hearing what the police said, Zhou Lihao suddenly understood.
Only then did he realize that the police looking for him actually wanted to learn something about his daughter Zhou Min from him.
But thinking that his daughter would be involved in something, Zhou Lihao's mood suddenly became tense.
Also trying to calm down, Zhou Lihao asked:
"Comrade policeman, my daughter is not like me. I used to be a wire fraudster, but I still know my daughter. She will not do such outrageous things. Really, please trust me."
"We, the police, only believe in evidence." Seeing Zhou Lihao pleading for his daughter Zhou Min, Gu Chen responded with a single word.
Zhou Lihao leaned forward, and said again: "Comrade policeman, my daughter..."
"What was your daughter's situation before? I don't know. What's the situation now? We just don't know much about it."
"However, the deceased was Zhou Min's boyfriend, but after her boyfriend died, she mysteriously disappeared."
"Also, according to our investigation of clues, Zhou Min and another man were actually in a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship at the same time."
Turning the pen with his right hand, Gu Chen also continued to remind: "So we urgently need to understand clearly, especially the relationship between Zhou Min and these two people."
"I understand." Listening to Gu Chen's detailed explanation, Zhou Lihao was a little helpless, but still pleaded:
"Comrade police, I understand your feelings, but where is my daughter? I really don't know."
"Mr. Zhou, don't worry." Seeing that Zhou Lihao was in a hurry, Gu Chen said comfortingly:
"We just want to know, how many times did your daughter contact you after you were released from prison? How much can you learn about her from her current situation?"
"Including, those close to her."
"this……"
It seems that Gu Chen is having a hard time for himself, but after Zhou Lihao thinks over and over again, he also tried to recall and said:
"Let's put it this way, that time she found me and had dinner with me in a small restaurant, and I also asked her about her current situation."
"She said she works in a bar and everything is fine."
"I asked her if she had a boyfriend? She said, don't worry about it."
After a pause, Zhou Lihao looked out the window and continued to think: "But later, I sneaked to her place of work and stood far outside, waiting until it was dark."
"It's like knowing whether she is doing well, but she is always surrounded by a group of people, and she gets in the car as soon as she goes out. I can't catch up with her at all."
"Don't you have phone contact with her?" Lu Weiwei couldn't believe it.
"No." Zhou Lihao shook his head and said helplessly, "She didn't leave me a phone number, and I just wanted to see how he is doing recently."
"What about other things? You haven't seen her?" Officer Wang continued to ask.
Zhou Lihao frowned, and continued: "Oh yes, another time, I saw my daughter arm in arm with a man on the street, as if she was shopping."
"I tried my best to find the trace of my daughter, but they disappeared in the crowd, and I didn't see them in the end."
"Who is it?" Hearing what Zhou Lihao said, Gu Chen quickly took out his phone and clicked on the photo album.
Afterwards, Xu Tiankai and Liu Yi's ID photos were shown in front of Zhou Lihao.
Zhou Lihao also thought briefly, and quickly pointed to Xu Tiankai's photo and said, "It's this person."
"What time?" Gu Chen asked again.
"Uh, a week ago." Zhou Lihao said.
When Gu Chen saw these records, he also looked at Zhou Lihao in the rearview mirror, took a long breath and said:
"Mr. Zhou, to be honest, just this morning, your daughter Zhou Min and this man were in a hotel. They suspected that they kidnapped a three-year-old girl and disappeared."
"Now the girl's parents have called the police, and our police are investigating. If you know Zhou Min's clues, or know Zhou Min's whereabouts, please contact us in time."
"What did you say?" Hearing what Gu Chen said, Zhou Lihao immediately became tense.
Lu Weiwei hurriedly reminded: "It's your daughter Zhou Min, who may be involved in all the kidnappings."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible." It seems to be very resistant to this statement.
Zhou Lihao, who was relatively calm before, immediately became irritable, and retorted emotionally:
"I think you must have made a mistake. No matter how badass my daughter is, she would never do such a thing."
Looking up at Gu Chen in the front row, Zhou Lihao said unwillingly: "Comrade policeman, you are talking nonsense, you are talking nonsense."
Seeing that Zhou Lihao was too emotional, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, who were sitting on both sides of Zhou Lihao in the back row, immediately grabbed Zhou Lihao's arms from the left and right to keep him calm.
Lu Weiwei also frowned slightly, warning: "Mr. Zhou, I hope you calm down, we are investigating this case."
"Just judging from all the current signs, the missing little girl was indeed kidnapped by your daughter."
"If you want to find out the specific situation, please cooperate with our police investigation instead of messing around here."
"If you do this, you will only make things more and more complicated. If you are doing it for your daughter's benefit, I hope you will cooperate with us."
"me……"
The emotional Zhou Lihao seemed to be out of breath.
I also tried to adjust my breathing, and then said in frustration: "Comrade police, you must have made a mistake. You said, my daughter is fine, why is she going to kidnap a little girl?"
"Because this little girl may have heard the conversation between your daughter and this man, so in order to hide the secret, your daughter suspected that the little girl was taken away."
Gu Chen also analyzed what he knew, and quickly analyzed it with Zhou Lihao.
Zhou Lihao frowned, and said in retrospect, "Could it be that this man is the one who lured my daughter into committing a crime?"
"You can't say that. We are still investigating this matter." Seeing Zhou Lihao start to think wildly, Police Officer Wang also wanted to stabilize his mood.
But Gu Chen hurriedly said again: "Mr. Zhou, your daughter is currently involved in a murder, and she has the time to do it."
"She had two boyfriends at the same time, and when her other boyfriend was strangled to death with a rope and thrown into the river, she was with the other boyfriend."
"Not only that, there is also the possibility of timing. After all, among the people the deceased had contact with before his death, your daughter Zhou Min and that man are all suspected of serious crimes. There may be some deep-seated ties between the two groups of people. contradiction."
"Wait a minute."
It seemed that his head had been stimulated, and as soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Zhou Lihao put his hands on his head, in excruciating pain.
The whole person seemed to have a sudden change of face, and looked very painful.
Gu Chen hurriedly reminded, "Mr. Zhou, what's wrong with you?"
"I... I have a headache, can you, can you take me to the hospital first?"
While Zhou Lihao was speaking, his whole body seemed to be breaking out in cold sweat, and his lips began to gradually change color.
Officer Wang saw that something was wrong, so he quickly reminded Gu Chen, "Gu Chen, Zhou Lihao seems to be sick."
"How did this happen?" In fact, Gu Chen also saw that something was wrong with Zhou Lihao, so he quickly started the car and said:
"Don't worry about that, let's take him to the hospital first."
While talking, I saw the police car with the license plate ending in AE86, the wheels were spinning rapidly on the spot, and rushed out quickly.
The vehicle rushed directly towards the nearest hospital.
At this time, Zhou Lihao was still holding his head in his hands, his whole body was in pain, and he soon fell into a coma.
This startled Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha in the back row.
Police officer Wang kept pinching Zhou Lihao's shoulders, slapping Zhou Lihao's cheeks, and calling Zhou Lihao's name, but Zhou Lihao never responded.
Gu Chen turned on the siren, and the car moved forward quickly under the blessing of the siren.
Many surrounding vehicles also quickly gave way to both sides of the road.
Half an hour later, Gu Chen sent Zhou Lihao to a nearby tertiary hospital.
With the help of ambulance personnel, Zhou Lihao was quickly taken to the emergency room.
It was originally an inquiry, but the subject of the inquiry was sent to the hospital directly.
This wave of operations will directly kill everyone.
Police officer Wang, who was walking back and forth outside the emergency room with his hands on his hips, also looked confused: "What's going on with Zhou Lihao this week? Could it be that he blackmailed us?"
"I don't think so." Yuan Shasha, who was sitting on the seat outside, also shook her head like a rattle.
Police officer Wang reminded: "If you know people, you know their faces, but you don't know your heart, how can you be sure that they are not blackmailing you?"
"Senior Brother Wang, you can't fake the pain. Didn't you see that Zhou Lihao's face changed like that at that time? I guess, this Zhou Lihao may have some underlying disease? Let's see."
Yuan Shasha had been sitting next to Zhou Lihao at that time, and she could clearly feel that Zhou Lihao was trembling with pain at that time, which seemed very serious.
Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei were leaning side by side in the hospital corridor, waiting quietly.
Compared with the bustle of coming and going in the hospital, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei seemed much quieter.
Lu Weiwei couldn't wait any longer, so she asked Gu Chen, "Junior Brother Gu, what do you think..."
"Zhou Lihao is ill, and the illness is not clear, it looks very serious." Before Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Gu Chen followed up to give his opinion.
Lu Weiwei nodded silently, and continued: "However, this Zhou Lihao's body is so stretched, and his daughter Zhou Min doesn't care about it."
"Moreover, he even sold the house privately, which made Zhou Lihao homeless after he was released from prison."
"Now, Zhou Lihao is so sick that she, Zhou Min, can't even see her."
With a faint sigh, Lu Weiwei also said with emotion: "I really don't know, how many sins did this Zhou Lihao commit? In exchange for his current homelessness?"
Turning her head and glancing at Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei said again: "Perhaps, this is the reward of evil, right?"
"Maybe." As soon as Gu Chen replied, he found that the attending doctor had come out.
So Gu Chen straightened his body and walked quickly towards the doctor.
Seeing this, Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha also quickly surrounded them.
"Are you the family members of the patient?" A middle-aged doctor in a white coat took off his mask and looked curiously at the four policemen in front of him.
Gu Chen shook his head and denied: "We are not his family members, we happened to talk to him about the matter and found that he was unwell, so we rushed him to the hospital."
After thinking about it, Gu Chen asked again: "Doctor, what's his situation now? Why did he suddenly..."
"Damn!" Before Gu Chen finished speaking, the doctor sighed heavily, and said helplessly:
"This person has liver cancer, at an advanced stage."
"What? Liver cancer?" Hearing this, everyone present was stunned on the spot.
Everyone looked at each other and was also shocked on the spot by this sudden situation.
And the doctor continued: "The patient must have known it himself. They are all like this, and there is no possibility of continuing the treatment."
"Now, the patient can only bear it by himself. The pain to a certain degree of coma may be the best choice for him to get rid of the pain."
"Otherwise, after waking up, there will be endless pain again."
After the words fell, the doctor also sighed and asked, "Can any of you register for me?"
"How about I go?" Yuan Shasha said.
Although everyone didn't know much about Zhou Lihao's situation, everyone had investigated Zhou Lihao beforehand, so they also had the basic information of Zhou Lihao in their hands.
So Gu Chen nodded and agreed: "Then trouble Xiao Yuan."
"No trouble." Yuan Shasha shook her head and followed the attending doctor to leave the scene.
Afterwards, Zhou Lihao was pushed out of the emergency room by the cart, and with the help of the nurse, he pushed towards the ward.
Gu Chen and the others could only follow.
With the help of several Miss Nightingale, the patient was put on a drip, and everyone sat around.
Feeling that the investigation has reached a dead end, Xu Tiankai and Zhou Min's whereabouts are unknown, and the little girl next door also mysteriously disappeared.
In addition, now that Zhou Min's father is also in the late stage of liver cancer, everyone was at a loss for a while.
Just when everyone was discussing how to contact Zhou Lihao's other relatives, Zhou Lihao seemed to wake up.
But then, there was another howl of pain.
Gu Chen and the others surrounded him, only to see that Zhou Lihao's eyes were hazy, as if he was waking up, but he didn't fully wake up.
Hearing Zhou Lihao's painful cry, Lu Weiwei also said anxiously: "What should we do now?"
"How would I know?" Officer Wang spread his hands, helpless.
Seeing this, an old lady in the next bed asked curiously, "Comrade policeman, what's the situation with this patient?"
"Oh." Hearing this, the old lady said something, and Gu Chen quickly replied, "Liver cancer, advanced stage."
"Oh." The old lady seemed to be indifferent to life and death, and she sighed:
"Then...then there is no way, the pain can only continue forever. If it is in the late stage, then...then you can only ask for blessings."
Shaking her head, the old lady said again immediately: "Then you... who are his?"
"We... We also met him for the first time. We saw that he was sick, so we sent him to the hospital." Lu Weiwei also said truthfully.
"What about his relatives?" asked the old lady in the next bed.
"I don't know, we also want to find his relatives." Officer Wang said.
"Oh, poor, poor."
The old lady here was also sighing, and a middle-aged woman suddenly came to the door, and she also lamented: "Mom, you are already pitiful enough, and you still say that others are pitiful."
The middle-aged woman may be the daughter-in-law or daughter of the old lady. She is holding food in her hand, as if she is here to deliver food to the old man.
Seeing three policemen standing in the ward, their voice suddenly became much quieter, and one person walked to the old lady silently, and said in a low voice:
"Mom, it's time to eat."
"Don't eat it, anyway, an old bone is a waste of food if you eat it, forget it if you die." The old lady seemed to be a little stubborn, which made the middle-aged woman quite embarrassed.
But the middle-aged woman didn't care about this, and directly started to divide the food, and then started to spoon the old man into his mouth.
At this moment, Zhou Lihao, who was in pain, seemed to be gradually waking up. He looked at Gu Chen and the others standing beside him, and greeted him weakly:
"Police...comrade policeman."
"Ah?" also suddenly realized, Gu Chen quickly came to Zhou Lihao's side and asked, "Mr. Zhou, how is your body feeling now?"
"It hurts!" Zhou Lihao said helplessly, weakly, "I'm sick, I have fainted before, but that happened a few months ago."
"I just didn't expect it to be so sudden this time. If it wasn't for you guys staying by my side, I...I really don't know..."
"Oh, stop talking." Looking at Zhou Lihao's pitiful look, Lu Weiwei also sighed, walked to his side and said:
"You said that you are really in poor health. Why don't you have any relatives around you? Tell me quickly, which relatives are around, and I will help you call relatives to take care of you."
"No need." Hearing what Lu Weiwei said, Zhou Lihao immediately shook his head and vetoed:
"Since I've been in prison, it feels like I have no friends, no family."
"It's fine for me to be alone now, so I don't need to trouble others."
"That doesn't work either." Police Officer Wang said loudly, "You look like this, how can you have no one to take care of you?"
"If your daughter Zhou Min knows, I hope she will come back to take care of you immediately."
