Chapter 2017

Just an hour after Gu Chen found the dead body of the watchman, the watchman sent by the reservoir to take over had also arrived at the scene.

At this moment, everyone is docking at the door of the duty room.

A bald man and a tall and thin young man are representatives of the reservoir.

Seeing the body of the reservoir attendant lying on the ground, the two of them didn't know what to do for a while.

Gu Chen asked, "You and Wang Jiayao are colleagues, so you should be very familiar with Wang Jiayao's situation?"

"No, no." The bald man waved his hand and quickly explained, "I'm not familiar with Wang Jiayao, but Xiaobin is familiar with him."

After the words fell, the bald man pushed the tall and thin young man to him.

"Your name is Xiaobin?" Lu Weiwei asked him.

"That's right, my name is Zhao Xiaobin. I'm a colleague of...and Brother Wang. Usually, the duty room of this reservoir is on duty between the two of us."

The man named Zhao Xiaobin was obviously a little nervous at the moment.

Speaking, also stuttering.

But Lu Weiwei didn't care about this, and continued to ask: "What's the situation with this Wang Jiayao? Have you noticed anything unusual about him recently?"

"Anomaly?" Zhao Xiaobin scratched his cheek, as if he didn't know what to say.

Officer Wang looked anxiously, and asked again: "If you think about it carefully, this Wang Jiayao must have been abnormal recently."

"I remember now." As soon as Police Officer Wang finished speaking, Zhao Xiaobin seemed to remember something, so he quickly explained to everyone:

"Brother Wang seems to have started to buy snacks in the past few days, and he bought them in big bags."

"When I was handing over to him, I asked him for some food. I felt that he bought so many things at once? It seemed very strange."

"Later, I asked him, did he win money playing cards? He said no."

"I asked him again, did he win the lottery? He said no, he said that he was not in good health recently and could only eat some snacks."

"Anyway, I don't believe it, but I don't want to ask more when people buy snacks."

"So this is Wang Jiayao's abnormal behavior during this period?" Yuan Shasha asked.

"En." Zhao Xiaobin nodded for confirmation: "Other than that, I really don't find too many suspicious points."

"Besides, every time he bought the snacks, when I came to the duty room next time, they had disappeared, and there wasn't even a packaging bag left."

"However, I think Brother Wang put away the trash bag after eating, so I didn't ask any more questions."

"What else?" Gu Chen quickly recorded the information in the notebook, raised his head and asked Zhao Xiaobin:

"Aside from the fact that he started buying snacks, did he reveal anything else when he talked to you recently?"

"Uh, this..."

Zhao Xiaobin seemed to be in a difficult situation.

After all, his colleague Wang Jiayao hanged himself suddenly, and he was surrounded by a group of policemen who kept asking about Wang Jiayao's situation.

This made Zhao Xiaobin, who was in his early twenties, a little nervous, but it seemed that these things were all he could provide.

But Gu Chen wanted more than that.

Regarding Wang Jiayao's recent period of time, he began to buy snacks to bring to the reservoir. In fact, everyone has already grasped it in the previous preliminary investigation. …

Now that Zhao Xiaobin informed the police of these circumstances, it was just to confirm again and again, and there was not much practical significance in handling the case.

Seeing that Zhao Xiaobin seemed to be a stunned young man, Gu Chen didn't waste too much time on him, but turned to look at the bald man and asked:

"Are you their leader?"

"Uh...uh yes, I'm their leader." Seeing that the police officer started to turn the investigation to himself, the bald man quickly answered politely.

"What's your last name?" Gu Chen asked.

"Mian...Mian's surname is Liu, Liu Zhi." The bald Liu Zhi said.

"Mr. Liu, as their leader, you don't even know the specific situation of Wang Jiayao, do you?"

"For example, when did he join the job? What's the situation at home? You should know these things, right?" Lu Weiwei felt that unless Liu Zhi wasn't an idiot leader, he should have a clear understanding of the situation of his subordinates.

Liu Zhi was also in a panic at the moment.

After all, someone hanged himself in the reservoir, which has never happened before.

In the past, everyone's attitude towards the work of the reservoir was basically as long as there were no major problems, being on duty at the reservoir was equivalent to taking a vacation.

In other words, it is not much different from the gate security in some other places.

But the reservoir is on duty, in the suburbs, and no one speaks.

Therefore, generally speaking, the salary is higher than that of general security guards.

As an idler, this place is naturally rarely visited, so the bald headed Liu Zhi doesn't know the situation of the reservoir, so maybe it makes sense.

But as a leader, this is obviously not qualified.

"Mr. Liu." Seeing that Liu Zhi was still on his errands, Police Officer Wang, who was standing aside, hurriedly reminded him.

"Ah?" Liu Zhi, who had reacted, immediately said "ah", and then said slowly:

"This Wang Jiayao, I really don't know him very well. We are just working together."

"Besides, there's basically not much tedious work on the side of the reservoir. It's basically just an idle job."

"Oftentimes, I'll just let you know. This Wang Jiayao rarely communicates with me."

After a pause, Liu Zhi touched his bald head, and then said:

"But I remember that Wang Jiayao started working with us last year. He is a contract worker, which is the kind of temporary job you often say."

"Joined last year?" Listening to Liu Zhi's explanation, Lu Weiwei crossed her arms and said in thought, "Then Wang Jiayao's family is in Jiangnan City, right?"

"Yes, this Wang Jiayao is a native of Jiangnan City." Liu Zhi said.

"Who else is in his family?" Officer Wang asked.

Liu Zhi waved his hand: "He divorced a few years ago, and the child was awarded to his ex-wife. Now he lives alone, and he seems to be the only one at home."

"Alone?" Yuan Shasha asked curiously when she heard this:

"His children were awarded to his ex-wife, and he lives alone at home. He usually works in a suburban reservoir far away from the city, and he stays alone in the duty room."

Taking a deep breath, Yuan Shasha was a little puzzled and said, "I can't understand how he manages to keep company with loneliness? Can he endure this loneliness?"

"This...who knows?" Liu Zhi was also asked in a daze. …

Of course, Liu Zhi doesn't care about these things, he only cares about whether Wang Jiayao can stay in the reservoir?

After all, the staff on duty at the reservoir usually work very leisurely, and their salary is better than that of ordinary security guards.

But Wang Jiayao is lonely, but he is willing to stay in the reservoir.

Now that he hanged himself on the reservoir mountain again, Liu Zhi also felt a little weird.

At least in Liu Zhi's view, Wang Jiayao may have been overly depressed, so he chose to commit suicide.

So Liu Zhi raised his head and continued to explain to everyone:

"Comrade police, I understand."

"You know? What do you know?" Seeing Liu Zhi's look of knowing, Lu Weiwei raised her chin and hurriedly asked him.

And Liu Zhi also said casually: "This Wang Jiayao, divorced a few years ago, has become a lonely family."

"Later, he applied for a job in our reservoir management department and became a reservoir watchman."

"So, no matter whether he is at work or off work, he is a loner, so in this environment, the whole person starts to become a little depressed, and finally chooses to commit suicide on the mountain. It must be like this."

After the words fell, Liu Zhi glanced at Zhao Xiaobin beside him again, and asked, "Is it? Xiaobin?"

"Uh, this..." Zhao Xiaobin felt that the leader had done the work of the police, and he didn't know if he agreed for a while? Or against it?

So the words came to his lips, but he never spoke.

Gu Chen interrupted with a wave of his hand: "Don't jump to conclusions here, although Wang Jiayao's method of death does seem to be suicide."

"However, before things are investigated clearly, all assumptions can only be assumptions."

Looking up at Liu Zhi, Gu Chen said again: "So what you said can only be used as a reference."

"No... That's right, it's just a reference, just a reference." Seeing Gu Chen's sharp eyes, the bald Liu Zhi could only agree.

Gu Chen didn't talk nonsense with him, and went straight to the point: "Mr. Liu, please take me to Wang Jiayao's house now, we need to check the situation in Wang Jiayao's house."

After walking back and forth twice, Gu Chen stopped in front of Wang Jiayao again and asked, "Don't tell me, you don't even know where Wang Jiayao's home is?"

"Uh, this... well, I know this. There was a party in our department, and Wang Jiayao was there. After everyone got drunk, they shared a car together."

"I remember that I dropped him home first, and then I went home, so I know where Wang Jiayao's home is."

"Then take us there now." Gu Chen said.

"Okay." Hearing Gu Chen's words, Liu Zhi also turned around and wanted to leave.

Gu Chen told Police Officer Wang, "Senior Brother Wang, you and Xiao Yuan stay here, take care of Wang Jiayao's body, and wait for Gao Chuanfeng and the others to come and receive it."

"I'll go with Senior Sister Lu first to see what's going on, and see if I can find some clues in Wang Jiayao's house."

"Okay." Officer Wang also understood that someone had to stay at the other end of the reservoir, so he handed the key wrapped in a transparent evidence collection bag to Gu Chen and said:

"This is the key found from Wang Jiayao's body. It should belong to his family. Take it with you and see the situation."

"En." Gu Chen hummed, took the key, and said to Liu Zhi, "Now take us there."…

...

...

After about 20 minutes' drive, Gu Chen parked the police car at the gate of an old community.

After getting off the car, Liu Zhi led everyone to the door of an old building and said, "His family lives on the first floor, and the one on the left is Wang Jiayao's."

"En." Gu Chen nodded slightly, and took out the bunch of keys with his right hand wearing a white glove.

Then, according to the keyhole situation, start to compare one by one.

With just the second key, the door was successfully opened.

Suddenly, an unpleasant smell came directly to the nostrils.

Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei quickly covered their mouths and noses, feeling that the air in the room seemed to be mixed with some unpleasant gas.

The three of them first stood at the door and looked at it carefully.

After confirming that there was no abnormality, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei put on foot gloves and headgear and began to search the house.

And told Liu Zhi to stay at the door, maintain the order of the scene, and not let strangers approach.

This is a unit with two bedrooms and two living rooms. Although it looks old on the outside, the interior decoration is not bad.

Gu Chen walked to the window and pulled the blinded curtains to the maximum.

For a while, the sun shone in from the outside, and the entire interior of the room began to become brighter.

Lu Weiwei was a little puzzled and said, "What's wrong with this Wang Jiayao? He lives alone at home, why did he draw the curtains like this, making the room dark."

"Maybe it's because you live on the first floor?" After turning around, Gu Chen began to look for the next room, and said casually:

"In this kind of old unit, people who live on the first floor are often more likely to expose their sexual desires."

"Therefore, it is usually customary for people to close the curtains after going out, so as to prevent people outside from standing by the window to peep."

"That's right." Listening to Gu Chen's explanation, Lu Weiwei felt that it made sense, so she continued to search.

Gu Chen focused on searching the trash can.

It can be said that the trash can in Wang Jiayao's house is basically messy.

There is also the living room, the corner of the door, the originally spacious area, but it is filled with various types of beer bottles.

It may be because it has not been cleaned for a long time, so the whole room is full of various strange smells.

Lu Weiwei was wearing a mask, but said with some distaste: "This Wang Jiayao's life is really useless, living in such a big room by himself, it's almost turning the room into a garbage dump."

Pointing to the wine bottle at the door, Lu Weiwei also said angrily: "Look at the pile of wine bottles, how are they piled up? If he can live like this, he will really be in hell."

"It's no wonder that Wang Jiayao's ex-wife divorced him and took away the child. It can be seen that Wang Jiayao will not live a life."

"No." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Gu Chen, who came out of the toilet, responded:

"It's also possible that after the divorce, you get hit hard and start to become decadent, which makes the family a mess."

"But no matter what the situation is, at least it shows that the current Wang Jiayao lives a poor life, but he has always lived alone in the family."

"Junior Brother Gu." Seeing that Gu Chen was so sure, Lu Weiwei also hurriedly asked him: "So, you have searched and confirmed that there is no second person living here?"

Gu Chen shook his head: "I've already checked, and here are all the household utensils and various items. It can be confirmed that a man has always lived in the house."

"That's weird." Lu Weiwei folded her hands on her chest and thought with her chin:

"I thought he would take in that Wang Xinyu. After all, during the few days when Wang Xinyu ran to the Rainbow Bridge to hide, he, Wang Jiayao, just started buying big bags of snacks."

"Looking at the time, it's just right, but Wang Jiayao didn't let Wang Xinyu live in his home, maybe there are other considerations?"

"Perhaps." While Lu Weiwei was talking about her analysis, Gu Chen was still carefully checking the various items in the house.

Coming to Wang Jiayao's master bedroom, Gu Chen began to pull out the keys, found a key that matched the desk, and directly opened the locked drawer.

At this moment, all kinds of messy documents have already filled the entire drawer.

Logically speaking, this position, this desk, is also locked with a lock, so there must be important items inside.
