Chapter 107: I meet you everywhere I go
Gu Xizhou eyed Liao Shuang carefully. He felt that the other person wouldnt speak. For now, I believe you.
It really wasnt me! Liao Shuang continued, Ever since my Ge died, Ive thought about whether I offended anyone, but I havent! But I feel like its possible my Ge has!
Gu Xizhou looked closely at Liao Shuangs expression. What are you thinking?
Right, but I dont know for sure if its that person.
Say it.
About half a year ago, my Ges company wanted to buy an app developed by a small business. I dont understand it very well, but my Ge mentioned it back then. He said that as long as the app was promoted a little bit, it would definitely be popular. At that time, the small company consisted of the boss and less than thirty employees, and it spent all its funds on this app. My Ge wasnt the only one with good sense. The boss of this small company also knew what the app was worth.
My Ge served as a representative to try to buy this small company for his firm, but the small companys boss refused. My Ge was really angry about it. Afterwards, he- he did something shady.
What was it? Gu Xizhou asked.
Liao Shuang licked his chapped lips and said, My Ge spent a large amount of money to directly poach the small companys developer, then had the whole company work overtime to push out this app before the other company
Liao Shuang didnt need to continue. Gu Xizhou understood the twists and turns, and he didnt need to think to know the small company was definitely bankrupt now.
I thought about it, and hes the one whos most likely to kill my Ge. After my Ges company pushed out the app, it wasnt more than a few days before the company declared bankruptcy.
That man once looked for my Ge, but I switched identities with him. He beat me up, and I had two black eyes for a long time. Because my face was bruised, I acted as my Ge during that time. We even went to work as the other one and swapped for five days. I kneaded my goose egg every day, but it was no use, muttered Liao Shuang.
What is his name? asked Gu Xizhou.
Liao Shuangs mouth twitched as he shook his head and said, I dont really know. I just know his surname is Yan.
Okay, ba. Gu Xizhou thought: This wasnt troublesome in the least as long as they asked Liao Juns secretary. Furthermore, there was also the app developer they poached.
Gu Xizhou let someone make a call to ask. They got a name in under twenty minutes: Yan Lichun.
Have the IT department investigate Yan Lichun, Gu Xizhou told Fang Zhi.
Were sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so were going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.Gu Xizhou looked at the report and clicked his tongue.
For the game that had just released one month ago, the internet said that the total income had already reached 1 billion. The number might be exaggerated but compared with apps and the like, games were much more profitable.
Gu Xizhou scanned Yan Lichuns bank transfer records. There were several large transfers recorded. He lowered his eyes and sank into thought, glancing at the time on his phone. Very good, there was still an hour and a half until he had to get off work.
He thought that he could stop by after work. He called for Fang Zhi, and they drove over to Yan Lichuns company. As they drove, Gu Xizhou felt like he was forgetting something, but he couldnt figure out what it was.
They went to Yan Lichuns company. After Gu Xizhou hurried over, he directly pulled out his badge. The receptionist was stunned, and then immediately called Yan Lichun in the office.
Boss, there are two men here to look for you.
Yan Lichun was facing the computer. He took the time to say to Gu Xizhou and Fang Zhi, Officers, Ill trouble you to wait for a few minutes. I need to correct something and then Ill be right with you.
Gu Xizhou sat on the sofa and nodded slightly, picking up a paper cup of water to take a sip. Fang Zhi did the same, and the two werent anxious at all.
Hu
Yan Lichun heaved a sigh of relief. He interlocked his fingers and stretched his arms. He locked his computer and got up to head for Gu Xizhou and Fang Zhi. He smiled and said, Youre lucky you came to find me today. Usually, Ive long left the company by now.
Did something happen today? asked Gu Xizhou, raising his chin slightly.
Yan Lichun joked, It was just a meeting. I was just looking at the powerpoint they sent. Our companys game got good ratings after it launched, so weve been very busy lately. Oh, thats right, why were you looking for me? Ive always been a virtuous person, and Ive never broken the law.
Do you still have an impression of the name Liao Jun? asked Gu Xizhou.
Him? I remember! Im afraid Ill remember this name for a lifetime.
Yan Lichun gnashed his teeth with anger when he heard the name, as if he wished he could eat the other person alive.
Gu Xizhou and Fang Zhi both thought: As expected, Yan Lichun despises Liao Jun. The motive is very clearcut.
Did he do something shameless once again? Yan Lichun was curious.
Gu Xizhou glanced at him and said, Hes dead.
Dead?
Yan Lichun was stunned. He was apparently completely unaware of Liao Juns death, but then his eyes sharpened with pleasure. Persisting in evil brings about self destruction!
The murderers technique was very specialized. It shouldve been a hitman. And recently, youve made several large money transfers
Gu Xizhou hadnt finished his sentence when Yan Lichun interrupted him. Half a year ago my company was facing bankruptcy. I put up my house and car as collateral to borrow from a loan shark. This money is all still the interest on that. Our chat record is still on my phone.
Yan Lichun pulled out his phone and turned it on, turning it toward Gu Xizhou and Fang Zhi. He said, I know, the police suspect me, but I really didnt do it.
If I really went bankrupt, I might have taken a knife and done away with him, but now Im not poor. My game earned 1 billion the first month on the market, and although I only have 5% shares of my company, thats still tens of millions of yuan, even up to 100 million, in a year.
Yan Lichun defended himself strongly and gave an earnest analysis. As he spoke he began to get emotional, and his neck grew red. I tell you, its completely unnecessary for me to kill him. I earned so much money, so why on earth would I still kill him? I dont want to go to prison!
Gu Xizhou looked at Yan Lichuns phone. It really did show him talking about repaying several people. Furthermore, the dates and the amounts of money corresponded with the transfer records they dug up. It didnt look fake.
Gu Xizhou saw that Yan Lichun was getting agitated and coughed into his fist. He said, Dont get worked up. Its just a normal line of inquiry, nothing more.
Ai I know, I know. Yan Lichun calmed down. Anyway, I didnt kill anyone, so Im not afraid of your investigation, and Im not afraid of my own shadow.
At this time, Yan Lichuns office telephone rang. They didnt know who called, but after Yan Lichun answered the phone, he only said, Ok ok ok, Ill go right away!
Gu Xizhou turned to look at Yan Lichun, and Yan Lichun immediately answered, My companys big boss came. I need to go out
Oh.
Gu Xizhou didnt block him. Yan Lichun really was suspicious, but Gu Xizhou couldnt figure out one problem. If he hired a killer and wanted to murder Liao Jun, he shouldve known after the first day that the victim wasnt Liao Jun, but instead it was Liao Juns Didi, Liao Shuang. Why would he wait a few days before going to the Liao house to try to kill him?
Yan Lichun tidied his outfit and went out. Gu Xizhou heard Yan Lichuns voice from outside the door. President Si, youve arrived!
En.
A voice hummed coldly.
President Si?
Gu Xizhou and Fang Zhi glanced at each other. It wouldnt be the President Si theyre thinking of, right?
Gu Xizhou subconsciously turned to look at the open door of the office. He saw two indistinct figures together. Finally, when the other person stepped forward, he clearly saw their appearance.
The mans handsome features were slightly twisted. When he saw Gu Xizhou, astonishment flashed through his eyes.
Why are you here? asked a crisp voice, surprised.
Gu Xizhou and the man stared at each other. Gu Xizhou: Thats what I want to ask.
President Si, you know them? Yan Lichun was also surprised. He didnt know what was going on.
This wouldnt also be one of the companies you invest in, right? Gu Xizhou asked, frowning.
Si Yu nodded faintly. Last time I told you I was attending a meeting. It was here.
Dang Gu Xizhou looked at Si Yu strangely and said, How come I see you wherever I go.
Si Yu looked surprised to hear this and appeared to seriously ponder this issue. After a moment, he answered, Maybe its because I want to see you.
Gu Xizhou: ???
Seeing Gu Xizhous surprised expression, Si Yu laughed. Im joking.
After chatting for a bit, Gu Xizhou motioned to Fang Zhi and left with him.
The two people got in the car. Fang Zhi propped his hand on his chin. If its not him, then who else wanted to kill Liao Jun?
Its not necessarily Liao Jun! Gu Xizhou suddenly slapped his head. How did I not realize it earlier! Liao Shuang misled me!
Fang Zhi was at a loss. Not Liao Jun Liao Shuang?
Maybe we should change our line of thinking. The other person initially wanted to kill Liao Shaung, and killed Liao Jun instead by mistake because at this time, Liao Shuang assumed his Geges identity. The hired killer thought Liao Shuang died, so the matter was settled. However, several days later the hired killer realized they killed the wrong person, so the killer reappeared. They wanted to kill Liao Shuang!
But doesnt this mean that someone else discovered that the victim was Liao Jun and not Liao Shuang before us?
No, there is someone else. She may not be able to tell Liao Jun from Liao Shuang, but Liao Shuang has a fatal flaw.
Fatal flaw?
Gu Xizhou realized Fang Zhi was confused and explained. Liao Juns wife, He Yunyun. He Yunyun discussed divorce with Liao Jun, so its necessary to discuss the distribution of the familys assets. However, Liao Shuang didnt know how much his Gege had, and when discussing the distribution, he would definitely expose himself.
