Chapter 699 Visit and Investigation!

When Liu Guozhu heard Jia Dongming asking about Gui Laoqi's characteristics, he quickly explained to Jia Dongming: "Captain Jia! Gui Laoqi was a key target of our branch in the early days because he was very good at fighting. Later, because he rarely caused trouble, we did not pay attention to him again. It was for this reason that I knew Gui Laoqi, but I am not sure whether he has a disability in his legs."

Having said this, Liu Guozhu quickly walked to his desk, reached out and pressed the phone on the desk, and while shaking the handle of the phone, he said to Jia Dongming: "Captain Jia! The Xinjiekou Police Station has always been responsible for the work of monitoring Ghost Old Seven. I will call the police station now and ask them. They should know more about it."

Jia Dongming learned that Gui Laoqi also lived in Xinjiekou, which made him more certain that Gui Laoqi was the murderer. He quickly thanked Liu Guozhu and said, "Captain Liu! Thank you for your help."

"Is this the Xinjiekou Police Station? I'm Liu Guozhu from the Serious Crime Squad of the branch. Is your director here? Please ask him to answer the phone." The call was quickly connected. When Liu Guozhu heard the inquiry coming from the phone, he introduced himself in a very serious tone.

After a moment, Liu Guozhu smiled and said to the phone, "Old Gong! This is Liu Guozhu! Captain Jia from the Municipal Bureau and Captain Chen from the Fengtai Branch came to our branch today and want to find your Xinjiekou Police Station to learn about the situation related to Ghost Old Seven. I wonder if you are free now?"

The middle-aged man on the other end of the phone heard what Liu Guozhu had said and asked him curiously, "Old Liu! The Captain Jia you mentioned, could it be Jia Dongming, the former deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Dongcheng Branch? Why would he suddenly want to know about Ghost Old Seven? Did Ghost Old Seven commit a crime?"

When Liu Guozhu heard Chief Gong's question and thought of what Jia Dongming had just said, he replied in a very casual manner, "Old Gong! This ghost Old Seven seems to be involved in a criminal case at the Fengtai Branch. I'd better let Captain Jia tell you the details in person!"

Liu Guozhu said this and immediately smiled and said to Jia Dongming, "Captain Jia! The call to Xinjiekou Police Station has been connected. If you need to know anything, just ask Chief Gong."

When Jia Dongming heard what Liu Guozhu said, he immediately stood up from his chair, walked quickly to Liu Guozhu's desk, took the microphone from the other side, and politely greeted Director Gong on the other end of the phone: "Director Gong! Hello! I am Jia Dongming from the Second Brigade of the Municipal Bureau. Two murders occurred in the FT District, and one of the victims was a resident in your jurisdiction. According to the clues we have so far, the murderer of these two murders is the same person, and it is Ghost Old Seven in your jurisdiction. So we came to the Chengxi Branch today to find you to understand the specific situation of Ghost Old Seven."

Director Gong on the other end of the phone was shocked when he heard the news that Gui Laoqi had killed people in the FT area. He quickly remembered that the comrades from the Fengtai Branch had visited their police station with Zhang Hu's photo in the morning, and hurriedly asked Jia Dongming: "Captain Jia! Hello! You just said that Gui Laoqi killed people in the FT area? One of the dead was a resident in our area? Could that dead person be Zhang Hu?"

Jia Dongming heard Director Gong's question and felt the shock in his voice. He answered with certainty, "Director Gong! You guessed right. One of the dead is Zhang Hu."

"Zhang Hu was originally an accomplice in another murder case in the FT District. When we found him, he had already been silenced. We found three words written in Zhang Hu's blood at the scene of Zhang Hu's murder, and these three words are the name of Gui Laoqi." After hearing what Jia Dongming said and confirming that the victim killed by Gui Laoqi was Zhang Hu, Director Gong introduced to Jia Dongming with an incredible look on his face: "Captain Jia! When Zhang Hu and Gui Laoqi were young, they were famous street thugs in our Xinjiekou area."

"According to what we know, when Zhang Hu and Gui Laoqi were together, they were always on good terms, as if they grew up together. What I didn't expect was that the murderer who killed Zhang Hu was actually Gui Laoqi."

After hearing what Director Gong said and knowing the relationship between Zhang Hu and Gui Laoqi, Jia Dongming immediately introduced to Director Gong: "Director Gong! This case is actually caused by a group of suspects. When we were taking measures against the suspects in the group of suspects, Zhang Hu hired two thieves to steal near the suspect's home and led away the two comrades who were responsible for monitoring the suspect. The suspect's family of five was killed when our comrades went to catch the two thieves."

"Later, based on the thieves' confessions, we learned that they were hired by Zhang Hu to steal near the suspect's home. When we found Zhang Hu, he and his lover had been killed. At the scene where Zhang Hu was killed, we found three words written in his own blood. These three words were the words "Ghost Old Seven."

At this point in Jia Dongming's introduction, he thought of the footprints they found in the ruined temple and immediately asked Director Gong, "Director Gong! Is that ghost Laoqi's foot lame?"

After hearing what Jia Dongming said, Director Gong realized that this murder case actually involved a conspiracy. He immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and said to Jia Dongming in a serious tone, "Captain Jia! Gui Laoqi lives near Zhang Hu's house, but this guy often hangs out outside and rarely comes home. If you want to catch him, you may have to start from the nearby black market."

"Also, you just mentioned that Gui Laoqi has a limp on one leg. That's true. When Gui Laoqi was young, he relied on his fighting ability and often got into fights. As a result, he offended the wrong people and was beaten. Since then, he has had a slight limp on one leg when he walks."

After hearing what Director Gong said, Jia Dongming became even more certain that the murderer was Gui Laoqi. Thinking of the black market that Director Gong had just introduced and the reason why Liu Jiangping was silenced, Jia Dongming had a vague feeling that Liu Jiangping's death might be related to the black market that Gui Laoqi often went to. After all, they resold so much grain, and the black market was undoubtedly the best place to ship it.

Thinking of the black market mentioned by Director Gong, Jia Dongming immediately asked Director Gong: "Director Gong! You just said that Gui Laoqi often goes to the black market. Do you know who runs this black market?"
