The day I was hugged by a goblin

That morning, Gu Shu went to the police station to meet Gao Yang, and of course, Zhu Meili, who claimed to be his little follower.

After several days of hard investigation, they finally found Jia Xiaojie in the surveillance camera opposite a coffee shop a few kilometers away from the exit of the street, but the time was about seven days before Jia Xiaojie disappeared.

That is, about seven days before Jia Xiaojie asked Gu Shu for leave, he appeared in the coffee shop named "Afternoon Sunshine", and, with him, there was another man that Gu Shu had never seen before.

This man is tall and handsome, with a bit of elegance. He is wearing a black suit, but it looks like a work suit.The man and Jia Xiaojie entered the coffee shop one after the other. Because the distance was a little far, the two of them were slightly blurred in the camera, but it could be seen that Jia Xiaojie's face was not good.

Afterwards, the police checked the surveillance footage of the day in Sunshine in the afternoon. Gu Shu's eyes were gloomy. Hearing Gao Yang's explanation, the screen turned to the surveillance footage intercepted in the coffee shop.

The two sat opposite each other in the coffee shop, and the camera was facing the back of the strange man's head. The man's face could not be seen from the monitoring angle, but he could clearly see Jia Xiaojie's face, even his extremely bad complexion. .

The two stayed in the coffee shop for about 10 minutes. They were talking visually, but they didn't know what they said specifically, but they could infer from the picture that it was the man who was talking all the time, while Jia Xiaojie just had a gloomy face the whole time, and occasionally He replied coldly, he was completely different from Jia Xiaojie who usually likes to pounce on Gu Shu.

Soon, the two had an argument for some reason, and the man seemed to get up anxiously and walked towards Jia Xiaojie, completely losing his elegant demeanor just now.

In the picture, Jia Xiaojie avoids the hand stretched out to him by the man with an angry face. After several times of disputes, Jia Xiaojie shakes off the man's hand and turns his head out of the coffee shop, while the man sits back in a slumped state until After half an hour, he left dejectedly.

After watching the video, Gu Shu didn't say anything, but felt that he didn't understand this person even more, but Gao Yang said happily, "Guess who is the man in it?"

Gu Shu frowned, "Zhang Mingquan?"

Gao Yang's eyes lit up and he nodded, "Yes, it's him." Based on his many years of experience, he had a feeling that he was close to the truth, and this feeling was extremely strong, I believe Gu Shu also felt this.A case that had no clue or even found the victim's body, now finally has a clue, and the clues are getting brighter and brighter, Gao Yang couldn't help being excited.

But at this moment, Zhu Xi said with some doubts, "I've seen this person before."

"Huh?" Gu Shu was surprised, and Gao Yang also looked at him.

"It's at the tea house," Zhu Xi affirmed, "and I've seen him at least three times. I saw him talking to Xiaojie, but Xiaojie ignored him with a cold face." Gu Shu didn't let him go out during the day, Zhu Xi, who couldn't stay idle, could only wander around the tea house, upstairs and downstairs, and then to the kitchen, one after another, and he could often find some delicious food at Dawang's.

"I asked him who it was at the time, but Xiaojie has never liked me, he just told me with a cold face that he is a person who hates me more than me." Zhu Xi pouted. He was so good that he wanted to hug wherever he went, but when he turned into a human form, Jia Xiaojie changed his countenance.

Gu Shu frowned slightly, regretting not installing a camera in the tea house, but from this point of view, Jia Xiaojie's abnormal behavior in those few days was explained. Obviously, his abnormal behavior was not because of himself, but because of Zhang Mingquan's appearance.And his unreasonable leave, even his death may have something to do with this person.

"Today we will meet Zhang Mingquan." Gao Yang finally said.

When going to Zhang Mingquan's residence, Gu Shu learned from Gao Yang that after Jia Xiaojie dropped out of school and disappeared, this incident caused a sensation for a while, but then, they entered the graduation season, and this incident slowly disappeared with Jia Xiaojie's disappearance It faded away, and after that, Zhang Mingquan and Xu Ting were together publicly.

According to the dictation of other students in their class, the two of them are indeed a natural couple in everyone's hearts, but whether they were already together before the Jia Xiaojie incident, in fact, most people have no clear conclusion, but Xu Ting has always been secretly in love Zhang Mingquan's matter is really as Wu Xuli said, and everyone knows it.

After graduation, Zhang Mingquan found a job in a foreign company, and Xu Ting, who was planning to take the postgraduate entrance examination, also chose to find a job because of him. Although he was not in the same company as Zhang Mingquan, it was a good job, and both This city, that is, Kunning City, was envied by many people in the class for this.

Regarding their work, Gao Yang and the others have also been confirmed by the school's academic affairs office, but after graduation, the contact between the students gradually decreased. Many students did not have any news about them after graduation, but they agreed that with their feelings, The two must have married and had children and lived a happy life. After all, they were really an enviable couple at the time.

Zhang Mingquan is also good-looking, and Xu Ting is very beautiful and has outstanding grades. She can be called a talented girl in the class, and she is very quiet. She is recognized by their college as the most beautiful lady. Almost everyone evaluates her as quiet , she has a beautiful smile, and many people even think that Zhang Mingquan is not good enough for her.

On the other hand, from the dictation of many students, Jia Xiaojie and Zhang Mingquan are roommates, and even very good friends. From freshman to senior year, the two can be said to be inseparable friends. This is recognized in the class, so in After that incident was exposed, everyone was so stunned, especially after Jia Xiaojie publicly admitted, Zhang Mingquan chose to remain silent. It can be seen that Jia Xiaojie has always been wishful thinking, and he is actually a hidden gay, which must make people uncomfortable. Ting and Zhang Mingquan's relationship, it is reasonable for Jia Xiaojie to be reviled.

When the four of Gu Shu arrived at Zhang Mingquan's house, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. Fortunately, this Saturday, Gu Shu and the others happened to be able to go directly to his house.It's not a big apartment, but it's ample enough for one person to live in, and it's fully equipped.

Regarding their arrival, Zhang Mingquan was obviously very different. While Gao Yang was revealing his identity to him, Gu Shu looked around the entire living room without any trace.

Spacious and tidy, both the sofa and coffee table are expensive brands. There is even a bottle of red wine and a goblet on the table. It can be seen that this is a man who is usually very stylish and enjoys it. Looking around at the things in the room, he couldn't see any traces of women, but when he entered the door, he deliberately paid attention to the shoe rack by the door. There were indeed several pairs of women's shoes there.

Gu Shu's expression was the same, and Zhu Xi obviously understood that he should not talk too much at this time, so he just followed Gu Shu and sat on the sofa.Gu Shu observed the man in front of him calmly. Apart from being surprised at the beginning, he then politely led them in, and even calmly poured a glass of water for each of them before sitting down. They are opposite.

Gu Shu saw that there was nothing unusual about him during this period, and there was nothing abnormal in his behavior. The loose sweater and black trousers matched well, which was obviously different from the man in a suit and leather shoes in the surveillance. During the time when he was pouring water, Gao Yang pretended to be He looked around his house inadvertently, and then asked intentionally or unintentionally, "Is this house your own or rented?"

Zhang Mingquan smiled, "It's mine."

Gu Shu's heart trembled slightly. He had only graduated three years ago, and such a big house in this area cost at least a million dollars, not to mention such an expensive decoration. It can be seen that his family conditions are really good.

Gao Yang then cut to the chase, "We are here this time to ask about Jia Jie. I heard that you knew him very well when you were in college. You should be very clear about his affairs, right?"

Gu Shu observed Zhang Mingquan's every move calmly. When Gao Yang mentioned Jia Jie, Gu Shu obviously saw Zhang Mingquan's body paused, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, but he quickly restrained himself.However, Zhang Mingquan's reaction surprised both Gu Shu and Gao Yang.

"He...has something happened to him?" Zhang Mingquan's eyes obviously dodged a little, as if he was very concerned but he didn't want Gu Shu and the others to find out his concern, so when he finished asking this sentence, Zhang Mingquan made some supplements to cover it up He said, "In college, he and I were roommates and good friends." Such a reason seemed to make his concern more reasonable, but he didn't know that such superfluous additions made people even more confused.

Gao Yang smiled, but did not answer directly, "We just want to know the reason why he dropped out of school. If you know, please tell us the truth."

Zhang Mingquan's eyes flickered unnaturally again, and then he smiled reluctantly, "I am also very sorry about this incident, but I don't know the specific reason, and after that, he disappeared. Everyone has lost contact, and you must have checked this out before you came."

Gu Shu inadvertently blocked Zhu Meili, who opened his mouth, and sneered in his heart. Since he knew that they had investigated the matter of Xiaojie dropping out of school, how could he not know about his direct entanglement with Xiaojie? He had the face to push it away. .Gu Shu cast a look at Zhu Meili, who was obviously anxious, and motioned him not to open his mouth to continue listening.

Gao Yang smiled, and asked without answering, "When was the last time you saw Jia Jie?" When Gao Yang finished asking this sentence, Zhang Mingquan was slightly startled again, his eyes dodged, and at the same time, his hands folded unconsciously When they got together, he was nervous, and Gu Shu's eyes dimmed.

Before he answered, Gao Yang added, "Mr. Zhang, please answer us truthfully. This is very important to us. In addition, you should also know that we will not come to your house to ask you for no reason."

Zhang Mingquan clasped his hands unnaturally, and then leaned against the sofa. Obviously, he was hesitating, and such a movement also showed his current nervousness.

In the end, Gu Shu saw that Zhang Mingquan swallowed unconsciously, and then said, "Last weekend." Gu Shu and Gao Yang looked at each other, Jia Xiaojie asked for leave last Monday, that is to say, the day before Jia Xiaojie disappeared I met Jia Xiaojie.

"What did you do when you met?" Gao Yang continued to ask.

Zhang Mingquan hesitated for a while, and finally said, "You also know that Xiaojie and I were very good friends in college, but we haven't been in touch since he dropped out of school, until I went to Weili Street to play not long ago. I was shocked when I saw him in a restaurant called Chazhuang, after all, we haven’t seen each other for three years.” Zhang Mingquan took a sip of the water on the table before continuing, “Since that time, I have I went to see him twice, and the first time I asked him to a coffee shop to catch up, after all we were such good friends before."

Gu Shu's eyes darkened again. He seemed to be deliberately emphasizing the relationship between their friends, but obviously, being too deliberate made it appear that he was covering up something.

"However, for some reason we didn't have a very pleasant conversation, and he left soon." Zhang Mingquan was obviously a little vague when he said this.

Gao Yang didn't intend to let it go, "What's the reason? What did you talk about?"

Zhang Mingquan froze, but soon an unhappy expression appeared on his face, "I think this is my privacy, I should have the right not to say it."

"Hehe, don't get me wrong," Gao Yang obviously saw such people a lot, and he was not in a hurry, "You don't have to say it." But we will always know.

"The last time I saw him was last weekend at the tea house on the street. You should have heard of it. I haven't seen him since that day, and when I went to the tea house to look for him the day before yesterday, I found the tea house Zhuang closed for some reason.”

Obviously, he didn't know that the man who had been sitting in front of him, the man who had been silently examining him, was the owner of the tea house. Gu Shu had an inexplicable intimidating force, especially when he kept silent. When you only stare at you with your eyes, the breath that comes out unconsciously is inexplicably frightening, and even a little breathless.Obviously, Zhang Mingquan felt it.

Moreover, the visit of the criminal police is not an ordinary thing. In the end, Zhang Mingquan asked the question he had always wanted to ask, "Jia Jie, what happened to him?"

Gu Shu's expression was cold and stiff, his lips parted slightly, "He's dead."

"What!" With a bang, the cup in Zhang Mingquan's hand fell to the ground and shattered, and Zhang Mingquan stood up straight in disbelief.
