The Disowned Young Lady Married a Homicide Detective - Chapter 30

“You’re here.” Gu Yezhou went to open the door after seeing Sang Ning go into the bathroom to wash up.

As soon as the door opened, Gu Yao dashed inside.

“Huh, where did everyone go?”

She looked around but didn’t see Sang Ning. Pointing at Gu Yezhou, she said, “Where’s my sister-in-law? Where did you hide her? Did you drink too much last night and bring some woman home?”

Faced with Gu Yao’s questioning, Gu Yezhou didn’t utter a single unnecessary word.

They took the two empty large suitcases from Gu Yao’s hands, and then invited Gu Yao out the door.

Before she could react, the door closed.

“Gu Yezhou! Open the door! Open the door now! If you don’t open the door, I’ll tell Mom and Dad that you secretly found a girlfriend and didn’t bring her home!” Gu Yao pounded on the door frantically.

After Sang Ning finished washing up, she saw the suitcase in Gu Yezhou’s hand.

She had just come up with the idea, but she was afraid of scaring Gu Yao.

“What’s with this suitcase?”

Gu Yezhou glanced at it and said indifferently, “I’ll help you move. Leave the useless things there, and take the things you need with you. Two are enough.”

“Okay.” Sang Ning liked all the little things in the house.

Whether it’s useful or not, she doesn’t care. She’ll take whatever she likes, and if she can’t fit it all in her hands, she’ll just hold it.

“I’ll call my landlady.”

On the day the case was closed, the Lin Group became a trending topic. It’s unclear who spread the information; it could have been Lin Zehui or his secretary, Lin Shuyue.

As soon as the call connected, I heard the landlady’s noisy voice on the other end: “Let me tell you, if you don’t pay the rent today, you’re moving out of here. Say my place isn’t clean, but you think you’re clean?”

Who knows where all your money comes from…

What do you want? I’m warning you, don’t come any closer, I’m on the phone right now.

Hey you over there, call the police for me right now, this guy wants to…

ah!!”

Whoosh whoosh—

Bang–

Beep beep beep—

The phone call was disconnected, and Sang Ning’s expression changed. She quickly opened the door.

Gu Yao, who was still knocking on the door, was startled. When she saw that it was Sang Ning who came out, her eyes widened. “Ning, Sister Ning? When did you get to my brother’s house? How come you… Hey? I haven’t finished speaking yet!”

Sang Ning didn’t have time to explain. She quickly pressed the elevator button and said to Gu Yezhou, “Something’s happened at Ping An Apartment.”

As soon as the elevator doors opened, the three of them quickly entered the elevator, and Gu Yezhou didn’t forget to take his suitcase.

“The landlady must be collecting rent and got into an argument with the tenant.” Sang Ning pulled up the built-in call recording on her phone. She had been planning to talk to the landlady about terminating the lease, but she was afraid of getting into trouble, so she recorded the conversation just in case.

The three listened in silence for the brief twenty seconds.

In those twenty seconds, there was the landlord’s aggressive tone, the whistling wind, and finally the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground accompanied by an electric shock.

The phone was forcibly disconnected after being dropped from a high-rise building.

Gu Yezhou: “Is anyone still renting the fourth floor of Ping An Apartment?”

Sang Ning shook her head. “I don’t remember much. I don’t usually go up to check, and the people living in the apartment rarely come out. I spend most of my time at the police station, so I rarely run into them.”

Otherwise, Sang Ning could have learned even more about Shi Li.

If she had enough time, how could she not care about the lost clothes?

However, each piece of clothing she wore cost no more than eighty yuan on average, so she didn’t feel the pinch at all.

She has absolutely no interest in designer bags or clothes.

For her, spending money on food is better than spending it on such things; good food is more important than anything else.

“I contacted the landlord about Shi Li before, but she just said she didn’t know. After all, she’s just renting, how much could she possibly know? In the end, being a landlord is really tough,” Gu Yezhou sighed.

Sang Ning agreed; if it weren’t for this landlord renting her the place, her food expenses would be significantly reduced.

When the group arrived at Ping An Apartment, someone had already called the police.

The courtyard in the middle of the first floor has been cordoned off.

“Captain Gu? You’ve arrived so quickly! I haven’t had a chance to let you know yet.” Xiao Zhang had dark circles under his eyes, clearly having drunk too much last night, and he probably hadn’t sobered up for long.

“I called my landlady, and she told me to call the police. I don’t know what happened.”

Sang Ning gave a brief explanation, then walked around the crowd and saw the landlady lying in a pool of blood.

The landlady was a middle-aged woman with fashionable permed hair. Her ethnic-style shawl was stained red with blood, and her eyes were staring ahead in terror.

The phone that was originally in my hand has flown several meters away.

Sang Ning took out the keys and handed them to Gu Yao, “Go upstairs and get my toolbox.”

She took the gloves from Xiao Zhang, glanced at them, and said, “Cause of death: falling from a building.”

She knelt down and touched the landlord’s limbs, then turned the body over and said, “The deceased is Yao Xiuying, 55 years old. There are no obvious external injuries to the back of her head, but she has a comminuted fracture at the junction of her thoracic and lumbar vertebrae. She landed on her back first.”

She pressed on both sides of her ribs again, “Both sides of the ribs are fractured, and the broken ends have pierced into the lungs.”

“Hiss, this is internal bleeding, a slow death…” Xiao Zhang murmured.

Sang Ning looked at the landlady’s body and remained silent for a moment before saying, “She didn’t land headfirst. She must have been thrown from a great height. She was injured like this on the fourth floor.”

Everyone looked up and saw Gu Yezhou’s tall figure already lingering on the fourth floor.

He is knocking on doors one by one.

“Wow, Captain Gu’s efficiency is amazing.”

Xiao Zhang quickly followed upstairs, while Sang Ning had her colleagues collect evidence at the scene before finally removing the body.

In addition, we need to notify the landlady’s family.

It’s going to be another tough battle. Sang Ning had talked to Yao Xiuying before. Her son doesn’t work and lives off his parents by paying rent from the Ping An Apartment.

Besides this property, Yao Xiuying also owns several villas in the suburbs of Yancheng, which allow her to live a very comfortable life simply by collecting rent.

Let alone her son, even if this happened to Sang Ning, she would be envious and would want to give up.

A short while later, a man’s shout came from upstairs.

Gu Yao had just taken the toolbox down when she heard Gu Yezhou call from upstairs: “Forensic Doctor Sang, could you please come up and take a look at these bones?”

Upon hearing the word “bone,” Sang Ning’s nerves tensed up.

He took the box from Gu Yao and ran upstairs.

Upon reaching the fourth floor, she immediately recognized it as a man’s pubic bone.

A long stick was being held and waved around by a crazy man. Xiao Zhang finally managed to subdue the man, only to see him pull another one out of his pants pocket.

Gu Yezhou said with a stern face, “Take off his clothes.”

“Huh?” Xiao Zhang was taken aback, but quickly followed Gu Yezhou’s instructions and took off the crazy man’s clothes in no time.

He has several bones hidden in his body.
