Chapter 41 Another Clue

Gu Shengtian swaggered into the supermarket. This is a small supermarket with only seven or eight rows of shelves. An aunt in her 60s is sitting in front of the checkout counter looking at her mobile phone. let out a burst of laughter.

Gu Shengtian walked around casually, took a box of instant noodles, a bottle of drink, a piece of ham sausage, a cup of fragrant milk tea, and even a box of pure milk, and walked slowly to the front of the cashier: "Boss, check out."

The aunt looked up at Gu Shengtian, put down the phone, quickly counted the money, and replied: "Young man, I haven't seen you before, you just moved here?"

If you want to say what is the most enthusiastic group in China, it is definitely the young and invincible aunts. Gossip and square dancing are their favorites.

Gu Shengtian chuckled, showing his white teeth, and replied: "Auntie, I don't live here, I just came here to find someone. By the way, can I ask you something?"

The aunt frowned and said: "68, young man, what do you want to inquire about, you are asking the right person if you ask me, as long as it is something in this community, I, Aunt Zhu, don't know anything about it."

"Aunt Zhu, there was a murder here two months ago, have you heard of it?"

Aunt Zhu nodded sharply and said, "Oh, you asked about this. I remember that the one who died was Xu Songning from the opposite building. He was a handsome guy. It seems that he was killed by his ex-girlfriend."

"That's right, that's what I asked about, Aunt Zhu, do you still remember the person who came to call the police?"

"Remember, Xiao Li, who delivered the courier, was in a panic at the time, and he couldn't speak clearly. I dialed 110 for him, and he was too timid."

Luo Lan frowned slightly when she heard Aunt Zhu's words. She always felt that Li Zhangde's behavior was too flustered. After thinking about it, Luo Lan said, "Aunt Zhu, do you still remember what time the report was made that day?" ?”

Aunt Zhu shook her head and said, "It's been two months, how can I remember, young man, why are you asking these questions?"

Gu Shengtian changed a serious expression, and replied: "Aunt Zhu, we are from the procuratorate. Recently, we are preparing to prosecute the suspect Zhang Jinlu. In order to avoid unjust, false and wrongful convictions, my colleagues and I came here to check."

Luo Lan looked at Gu Shengtian's serious expression, and for someone who didn't know, he basically believed [-]% of the time. It was really shameless to be able to weave lies without changing his face.

Aunt Zhu let out an oh, put the food in a bag and handed it to Gu Shengtian, then nodded and said: "It should be, it's a pity, Zhang Jinlu is so young, and the relationship between the two of them was very good before, even if they broke up, it's okay." This shouldn't have happened."

Gu Shengtian took the plastic bag, motioned Luo Lan to take it, pointed to the wall on the left and asked, "Aunt Zhu, did you have a wall clock here before? Why is it gone?"

Aunt Zhu didn't even look at it, and replied: "Young man, how do you know, it has been broken for almost half a year, and I have been wanting to replace it with a new one, but I just don't have time to do it."

After receiving Aunt Zhu's reply, Luo Lan was shocked. She finally understood Gu Shengtian's purpose, but what she didn't understand was why Gu Shengtian beat around the bush instead of going straight in.

Gu Shengtian laughed and said: "Oh, I saw an obvious nail on the wall, that's why I asked. Okay, nothing else, thank you for your cooperation, Aunt Zhu."

Gu Shengtian took the milk and walked towards the door, Luo Lan greeted Aunt Zhu, and hurriedly chased after her.

The two trotted all the way, and walked slowly towards the building where Xu Songning lived. Luo Lan asked as she walked, "Lawyer Gu, why didn't you just ask Aunt Zhu directly, instead of going around in such a big circle."

Gu Shengtian put down the milk box in his hand, moved his hands and said: "Stupid, a rookie is a rookie, if we make too much noise, we will startle the snake, and your senior Shen Hentian is not a vegetarian, if he finds a solid doubt, He will return the case to the public security organ for re-investigation, and we will lose a great opportunity to defeat him."

"Sure enough, I guessed right, Lawyer Gu, you just want to fight with my senior, Zhang Jinlu's life is not important to you at all."

Gu Shengtian did not deny it, but responded: "I won, she is fine, and I lost, then she is only going to the predetermined ending, so if you don't want Zhang Jinlu to be wronged and wronged, then don't say that What useless nonsense, move the milk, let's go upstairs to visit Uncle Zhou."

Luo Lan looked at the milk crate on the ground, then at the plastic bag in her hand, and said suspiciously: "Lawyer Gu, I can understand that you plan to deliver milk to Uncle Zhou. What's the purpose of convenience and milk tea? It's your dinner."

Gu Shengtian suddenly walked up to Luo Lan, lightly poked her on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "You're wrong, it's your dinner, I made you wait for a while, I'm a little sorry, no thanks Come on, let's go upstairs."

Gu Shengtian left as soon as he said that, leaving Luo Lan looking at the plastic bag in her hand dumbfounded, she had no choice but to sigh helplessly, picked up the milk crate on the ground and chased after it.

Boom, boom, boom.

Gu Shengtian knocked on the door of Uncle Zhou's house. On the night of the incident, Uncle Zhou called the police to provide clues.

The person who opened the door was an aunt in her early fifties, wrapped in an apron, who seemed to be doing housework, and she asked with a puzzled face, "Who are you?"

Gu Shengtian smiled and said: "Hello, we are investigators from the procuratorate. Regarding Zhang Jinlu's case, we still have a few questions to ask Uncle Zhou."

Luo Lan hurriedly handed over the milk, and said, "Hello, just a little thought."

The aunt took the milk with a smile on her face and said, "Comrade investigator, you're here right now. What gifts do you bring? Come in quickly. I'll call my father-in-law right away."

Before the aunt finished speaking, an old voice came over: "Xiaoping, who is here?"

"Dad, they're investigators from the procuratorate. They're here for Zhang Jinlu's case."

Uncle Zhou, 75 years old this year, with gray hair, looks in good spirits, and has a quick mind. As soon as he walked over, he shook hands with Gu Shengtian enthusiastically and said, "Hello, Comrade Investigator, do you need my help?"

Gu Shengtian was not polite, and asked directly: "Uncle Zhou, the night Xu Songning died, you were the one who called to report the case and provide clues, right?"

Uncle Zhou suddenly looked up at his daughter-in-law Xiaoping, and sighed, "Even if I provided the clue, what's the matter, Comrade Investigator, is there something wrong, can't I get the bonus?"
