Listening to the middle-aged man's remarks, Gu Chen felt more and more that these unrelated characters seemed to exist independently, but in fact they were all inextricably linked.
First of all, the fishing area under the Rainbow Bridge is the key to all problems.
Here, Wang Xinyu once stayed briefly, and the owner of the breakfast shop and the fish seller had both fished here.
Not only that, but even the dead Wang Jiayao was on duty at the reservoir near the Rainbow Bridge.
So no matter how you look at it, the downstream of the reservoir, under the Rainbow Bridge, seems to be the key to all problems.
And Gu Chen also confirmed his previous guess from the middle-aged man.
That is, there is indeed a woman living under the pier.
Thinking of Gu Chen's various investigations on Wang Xinyu before, Gu Chen hurriedly confirmed with the middle-aged man:
"You said you've seen that woman, can you confirm her appearance?"
"Uh, this..." The middle-aged man hesitated.
But Gu Chen had already clicked on the photo album, showed the photo of Wang Xinyu he had in front of the middle-aged man, and said:
"Is it her?"
The middle-aged man squinted his eyes, and after a short thought, nodded slowly: "It seems to be her."
"Are you sure?" Lu Weiwei asked quickly.
"Basically, I'm sure. Because of that embarrassment, I have a deep impression of this woman. She looks like this."
Hearing the middle-aged man's speech, Gu Chen asked about Wang Jiayao's situation again, and said:
"Then Wang Jiayao asked you to go fishing today, do you think he will miss the appointment?"
"No appointment? How is it possible? He has always been very reliable in his words, and he has never missed an appointment." Hearing what Gu Chen said, the middle-aged man immediately retorted.
Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei looked at each other, feeling that this matter was getting more and more strange.
The middle-aged man also saw the abnormality of the two of them, so he asked curiously: "Comrade policeman, what's wrong with Wang Jiayao? What are you asking this for today?"
"Wang Jiayao is dead." Gu Chen said bluntly.
"What? Wang Jiayao is dead? Are you right? He asked me to go fishing today." The middle-aged man's face turned blue as if he was also shocked by this result.
It felt like Gu Chen might be joking with himself.
But after a while, the middle-aged man withdrew his thoughts.
After all, Gu Chen's expression said it all, he didn't mean to be joking.
The middle-aged man was really panicked at this moment, and quickly asked, "Comrade policeman, what's going on?"
"When Wang Jiayao was found, he had already died on the mountain behind the reservoir, hanging from a tree with a crooked neck," Lu Weiwei said.
"Pa-ta!" Upon hearing such words, the middle-aged man made a "pa-ta" and almost lost his footing. He also held onto a table with both hands, and said with a blue face:
"Difficult... Did he really do this?"
"What did you say?" Gu Chen felt that this middle-aged man obviously knew something? So he quickly asked:
"You said, Wang Jiayao really did this, what did he do?"
"No." The middle-aged man shook his head in denial, and then said, "It's that curse."
"Curse? Are you telling a story?" Lu Weiwei felt a little repelled immediately when she heard such evil things.
But the middle-aged man waved his hand and said: "No, this is not a joke. Of course, I thought it was a joke before, but now, I decided to take back my previous thoughts."
"Because during the time I was fishing with Wang Jiayao, Wang Jiayao told me about the curse more than once."
"It sounded so horrific that he even joked to me that if he was cursed one day, he would definitely choose to hang himself."
"No, wait a minute." Gu Chen suddenly felt that the middle-aged man's rhetoric seemed to be getting more and more outrageous.
He also hurriedly interrupted and asked: "Sir, can you share with us the things you chatted with Wang Jiayao? It's the so-called 'curse'."
"Yes." Taking a deep breath, the middle-aged man seemed a little nervous.
So he quickly picked up the thermos cup on the table, poured himself a sip of tea, and then said slowly:
"I also heard about this matter when I was fishing with Wang Jiayao."
"He said that in his dream, he once dreamed of a corpse that was buried alive."
"A corpse buried alive?" Lu Weiwei couldn't help but shudder when she thought of the corpse buried in the No. 2 warehouse of Binjiang Freight Yard.
It felt like the corpse Wang Jiayao was talking about, could it be that one?
It can be seen that Gu Chen on the side is still calm, so he withdrew his curiosity and continued to ask: "Then what happened next?"
"Later? Later, this nightmare seemed to keep reappearing in his mind. He said that he had often had this nightmare in recent years."
"Every time I wake up, I'm sweating and I feel like I'm cursed."
"Later, he went to the fortune-teller to clarify his doubts. The fortune-teller said that this was a catastrophe for him, and it was a catastrophe that was difficult to overcome."
"At that time, Wang Jiayao didn't believe it, but in the past few years, he found that his spirit was getting worse and worse than before, and he often had some hallucinations."
"He felt that the fortune teller might be telling the truth, so he found the fortune teller again."
"What did the fortune teller say?" Although Gu Chen felt that it sounded outrageous, at least he had to investigate further.
The middle-aged man hesitated again and again, and then said: "What exactly did the fortune teller tell him? I don't know, but Wang Jiayao told me."
"If one day, he hangs himself, it means that he is cursed and cannot be freed. He can only choose to free himself in this way."
"Of course, when he said this, he used that kind of joking tone, so I took it as a joke and didn't take it seriously."
"However, I heard from you that he hanged himself today and was still on the mountain of the reservoir. This makes me feel a little scared. Really, he once told me about this kind of thing."
"But...but I always thought it was just a joke and couldn't be taken seriously, but he actually..."
Having said this, the middle-aged man took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down.
It feels too weird.
And Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei also looked at each other, feeling that this matter is not that simple.
So Gu Chen asked the middle-aged man again: "Sir, you said this Wang Jiayao, and said this in a joking tone with you. He said that he met in a dream. Someone was burying a corpse, but that corpse was still alive at the time." Is it right?"
"Yes, that seems to be what he said." The middle-aged man said.
"Then can you be more specific? For example, the place of burial, and the people involved?" Lu Weiwei also couldn't wait, feeling that this matter seemed to be on the horizon.
The middle-aged man thought about it again and again, and said in retrospect: "Oh! I actually didn't take this matter seriously. I just listened to it while fishing."
"However, I was bored at the time. It seemed that I had asked him about the specific situation in the dream."
"I also teased him and said, could this be real? He couldn't tell, but the content of the dream was very real."
"He said that whenever he dreamed of the buried man, the look of despair in his eyes terrified him."
"It seems that he has personally participated in this matter."
"I teased him at the time and said, if you think this dream is real, then think about it quickly and see where is this place?"
"Then he told me that it seemed to be in a warehouse along the river."
"Warehouse along the river?" Hearing this, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei couldn't help but speak in unison.
It seems that all of this is as everyone guessed.
This so-called warehouse along the river is actually the No. 2 warehouse in the Binjiang freight yard.
And that rotten corpse was found by Gu Chen from the abandoned room in the warehouse over there.
This just proves that the situations mentioned by Wang Jiayao are not fictitious, but actually happened.
In the so-called burial that year, in fact, maybe the deceased was still alive, or in other words, half dead.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen's heart also burst into tears.
I feel that Wang Jiayao may have really participated in the burial of the corpse back then, and he may be the real murderer.
Perhaps because of the crimes he committed many years ago, his mind became distorted.
Therefore, this caused him to be haunted by nightmares, which caused him to become mentally disturbed in the past few years, and his personality gradually became withdrawn.
Therefore, I used a method of hanging myself so that I could completely free myself.
It seems that all of this is reasonable, but what role does Wang Xinyu play in this link?
After all, there was a rotting corpse buried in the No. 2 warehouse of Binjiang Freight Yard, which Wang Xinyu told herself in a blood letter.
Wang Xinyu made all this public, apparently to let the police dig up the body and then investigate the identity of the body.
"Isn't this what Wang Xinyu wants to see? Could it be that Wang Xinyu has another purpose? Could it be that she wants the police to pay attention to Wang Jiayao?"
Gu Chen pondered in his heart, feeling that this seemed to make sense.
However, after Wang Jiayao's death, why is Wang Xinyu's whereabouts unknown?
Or did Wang Xinyu and Wang Jiayao participate in the burying incident?
Later, Wang Xinyu began to confess to the police because of conscience condemnation and regret.
And after Wang Jiayao learned of the situation, he finally chose to end his life by hanging himself on the mountain of the reservoir?
"But, since the choice has already been made, why does Wang Jiayao make an appointment with the owner of the breakfast shop to go fishing early in the morning? Isn't this superfluous?"
"Ending one's own life in this way is obviously a decision made amidst entanglement, and this decision must be well thought out."
"But I made an appointment with the owner of the breakfast shop to go fishing early in the morning, and then chose to end my life in this way. Isn't the change too fast?"
Gu Chen thought to himself, but still couldn't accept this reality.
After all, how can a person's life and death be decided in an instant?
Gu Chen felt that if Wang Jiayao had already made the decision to hang himself, he would definitely not ask the owner of the breakfast shop to go fishing at the end of his life.
This shows that Wang Jiayao's idea is not to end himself in this way.
Moreover, Gu Chen also learned from the owner of the breakfast shop that Wang Jiayao had a strong urge to sell the house, and planned to cash in the property, and then use the money to spend his old age.
Obviously, Wang Jiayao's ideas are very realistic, but also idealistic.
But this matter has not been completed, will Wang Jiayao suddenly choose to commit suicide? Obviously unlikely.
More and more evidence is constantly reminding myself.
In Gu Chen's mind, there was also a turmoil at this moment.
I felt that if I was Wang Jiayao, I would definitely not leave too many regrets, so I just walked away.
Or, Wang Jiayao did have this idea.
However, judging from his contact with Wang Jiayao, he found that Wang Jiayao's situation had stabilized at that time, and he answered his questions fluently without panicking.
You must know that Gu Chen has handled many cases, and has his own unique insights in judging people.
Ordinary people look into their own eyes, and Gu Chen can basically see through if they want to lie and deceive others in front of them.
But Wang Jiayao's reaction at that time was completely in line with the basic situation of a normal person. Unless Wang Jiayao's heart is strong enough, it is obviously powerless to deceive Gu Chen.
"Sir." Gu Chen said slowly after a while of entanglement in his heart:
"What kind of person do you think Wang Jiayao is?"
"Uh." It seemed that this question was a bit profound, and the middle-aged man was also taken aback for a moment.
Seeing that Gu Chen was still looking at him expectantly, the middle-aged man hesitated again and again, and said in thought:
"What kind of person is he? This...how should I say it?"
"I've known him for so many years, and I feel that he should be a pretty easy-going person. Oh yes, I heard that he divorced and even awarded the child to his ex-wife."
"So I feel that this person should be quite unreliable, at least the child should fight for it? But not."
"Later, after I got in touch with him slowly, I found that he is not only reliable, but also a good man who can live a good life."
"So I also don't understand why his life is in such a mess? Moreover, he has peace of mind and can stay and work in the reservoir, which is not something ordinary people can do."
Gu Chen listened to the middle-aged man's slow narration, and recorded it himself at the same time.
Looking up at the middle-aged man, Gu Chen asked again: "Do you think he will do something outrageous? Use your objective point of view to answer."
The reason why Gu Chen asked the middle-aged man to answer from an objective point of view was obviously because he didn't want the middle-aged man to be overly emotional.
I don't want middle-aged men to favor Wang Jiayao because they have a good relationship with Wang Jiayao.
But the middle-aged man obviously knew this too. After a short hesitation, the middle-aged man gave an answer that surprised Gu Chen.
"The First Minister of Ming Dynasty"
"Yes, if you analyze it from an objective point of view, I think he may have done some unreasonable things."
The voice fell, and the scene suddenly became quiet.
The two sides looked at each other, and both seemed to feel that the atmosphere had become a little weird.
At this time, a middle-aged woman broke the embarrassment.
"Boss, help me get two biscuits and a bottle of milk, to be warm."
"Oh." The middle-aged man, who had reacted, recovered from the almost suffocating atmosphere just now, and quickly withdrew and walked over: "What you want."
"Thank you." After scanning the QR code to pay, the middle-aged woman turned her head and left.
And the middle-aged man who turned around at this time continued to explain to Gu Chen: "I believe that he, Wang Jiayao, must have done some unreasonable things. If I put it before, I don't believe it, but today he died, I feel It is necessary to speak up."

"Because during the time I was fishing with Wang Jiayao, Wang Jiayao told me about the curse more than once." "It sounded so horrific that he even joked to me that if he was cursed one day, he would definitely choose to hang himself." "No, wait a minute." Gu Chen suddenly felt that the middle-aged man's rhetoric seemed to be getting more and more outrageous. He also hurriedly interrupted and asked: "Sir, can you share with us the things you chatted with Wang Jiayao? It's the so-called 'curse'." "Yes." Taking a deep breath, the middle-aged man seemed a little nervous. So he quickly picked up the thermos cup on the table, poured himself a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "I also heard about this matter when I was fishing with Wang Jiayao." "He said that in his dream, he once dreamed of a corpse that was buried alive." "A corpse buried alive?" Lu Weiwei couldn't help but shudder when she thought of the corpse buried in the No. 2 warehouse of Binjiang Freight Yard. It felt like the corpse Wang Jiayao was talking about, could it be that one? It can be seen that Gu Chen on the side is still calm, so he withdrew his curiosity and continued to ask: "Then what happened next?" "Later? Later, this nightmare seemed to keep reappearing in his mind. He said that he had often had this nightmare in recent years." "Every time I wake up, I'm sweating and I feel like I'm cursed." "Later, he went to the fortune-teller to clarify his doubts. The fortune-teller said that this was a catastrophe for him, and it was a catastrophe that was difficult to overcome." "At that time, Wang Jiayao didn't believe it, but in the past few years, he found that his spirit was getting worse and worse than before, and he often had some hallucinations." "He felt that the fortune teller might be telling the truth, so he found the fortune teller again." "What did the fortune teller say?" Although Gu Chen felt that it sounded outrageous, at least he had to investigate further. The middle-aged man hesitated again and again, and then said: "What exactly did the fortune teller tell him? I don't know, but Wang Jiayao told me." "If one day, he hangs himself, it means that he is cursed and cannot be freed. He can only choose to free himself in this way." "Of course, when he said this, he used that kind of joking tone, so I took it as a joke and didn't take it seriously." "However, I heard from you that he hanged himself today and was still on the mountain of the reservoir. This makes me feel a little scared. Really, he once told me about this kind of thing." "But...but I always thought it was just a joke and couldn't be taken seriously, but he actually..." Having said this, the middle-aged man took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down. It feels too weird. And Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei also looked at each other, feeling that this matter is not that simple. So Gu Chen asked the middle-aged man again: "Sir, you said this Wang Jiayao, and said this in a joking tone with you. He said that he met in a dream. Someone was burying a corpse, but that corpse was still alive at the time." Is it right?" "Yes, that seems to be what he said." The middle-aged man said. "Then can you be more specific? For example, the place of burial, and the people involved?" Lu Weiwei also couldn't wait, feeling that this matter seemed to be on the horizon. The middle-aged man thought about it again and again, and said in retrospect: "Oh! I actually didn't take this matter seriously. I just listened to it while fishing." "However, I was bored at the time. It seemed that I had asked him about the specific situation in the dream." "I also teased him and said, could this be real? He couldn't tell, but the content of the dream was very real." "He said that whenever he dreamed of the buried man, the look of despair in his eyes terrified him." "It seems that he has personally participated in this matter." "I teased him at the time and said, if you think this dream is real, then think about it quickly and see where is this place?" "Then he told me that it seemed to be in a warehouse along the river." "Warehouse along the river?" Hearing this, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei couldn't help but speak in unison. It seems that all of this is as everyone guessed. This so-called warehouse along the river is actually the No. 2 warehouse in the Binjiang freight yard. And that rotten corpse was found by Gu Chen from the abandoned room in the warehouse over there. This just proves that the situations mentioned by Wang Jiayao are not fictitious, but actually happened. In the so-called burial that year, in fact, maybe the deceased was still alive, or in other words, half dead. Thinking of this, Gu Chen's heart also burst into tears. I feel that Wang Jiayao may have really participated in the burial of the corpse back then, and he may be the real murderer. Perhaps because of the crimes he committed many years ago, his mind became distorted. Therefore, this caused him to be haunted by nightmares, which caused him to become mentally disturbed in the past few years, and his personality gradually became withdrawn. Therefore, I used a method of hanging myself so that I could completely free myself. It seems that all of this is reasonable, but what role does Wang Xinyu play in this link? After all, there was a rotting corpse buried in the No. 2 warehouse of Binjiang Freight Yard, which Wang Xinyu told herself in a blood letter. Wang Xinyu made all this public, apparently to let the police dig up the body and then investigate the identity of the body. "Isn't this what Wang Xinyu wants to see? Could it be that Wang Xinyu has another purpose? Could it be that she wants the police to pay attention to Wang Jiayao?" Gu Chen pondered in his heart, feeling that this seemed to make sense. However, after Wang Jiayao's death, why is Wang Xinyu's whereabouts unknown? Or did Wang Xinyu and Wang Jiayao participate in the burying incident? Later, Wang Xinyu began to confess to the police because of conscience condemnation and regret. And after Wang Jiayao learned of the situation, he finally chose to end his life by hanging himself on the mountain of the reservoir? "But, since the choice has already been made, why does Wang Jiayao make an appointment with the owner of the breakfast shop to go fishing early in the morning? Isn't this superfluous?" "Ending one's own life in this way is obviously a decision made amidst entanglement, and this decision must be well thought out." "But I made an appointment with the owner of the breakfast shop to go fishing early in the morning, and then chose to end my life in this way. Isn't the change too fast?" Gu Chen thought to himself, but still couldn't accept this reality. After all, how can a person's life and death be decided in an instant? Gu Chen felt that if Wang Jiayao had already made the decision to hang himself, he would definitely not ask the owner of the breakfast shop to go fishing at the end of his life. This shows that Wang Jiayao's idea is not to end himself in this way. Moreover, Gu Chen also learned from the owner of the breakfast shop that Wang Jiayao had a strong urge to sell the house, and planned to cash in the property, and then use the money to spend his old age. Obviously, Wang Jiayao's ideas are very realistic, but also idealistic. But this matter has not been completed, will Wang Jiayao suddenly choose to commit suicide? Obviously unlikely. More and more evidence is constantly reminding myself. In Gu Chen's mind, there was also a turmoil at this moment. I felt that if I was Wang Jiayao, I would definitely not leave too many regrets, so I just walked away. Or, Wang Jiayao did have this idea. However, judging from his contact with Wang Jiayao, he found that Wang Jiayao's situation had stabilized at that time, and he answered his questions fluently without panicking. You must know that Gu Chen has handled many cases, and has his own unique insights in judging people. Ordinary people look into their own eyes, and Gu Chen can basically see through if they want to lie and deceive others in front of them. But Wang Jiayao's reaction at that time was completely in line with the basic situation of a normal person. Unless Wang Jiayao's heart is strong enough, it is obviously powerless to deceive Gu Chen. "Sir." Gu Chen said slowly after a while of entanglement in his heart: "What kind of person do you think Wang Jiayao is?" "Uh." It seemed that this question was a bit profound, and the middle-aged man was also taken aback for a moment. Seeing that Gu Chen was still looking at him expectantly, the middle-aged man hesitated again and again, and said in thought: "What kind of person is he? This...how should I say it?" "I've known him for so many years, and I feel that he should be a pretty easy-going person. Oh yes, I heard that he divorced and even awarded the child to his ex-wife." "So I feel that this person should be quite unreliable, at least the child should fight for it? But not." "Later, after I got in touch with him slowly, I found that he is not only reliable, but also a good man who can live a good life." "So I also don't understand why his life is in such a mess? Moreover, he has peace of mind and can stay and work in the reservoir, which is not something ordinary people can do." Gu Chen listened to the middle-aged man's slow narration, and recorded it himself at the same time. Looking up at the middle-aged man, Gu Chen asked again: "Do you think he will do something outrageous? Use your objective point of view to answer." The reason why Gu Chen asked the middle-aged man to answer from an objective point of view was obviously because he didn't want the middle-aged man to be overly emotional. I don't want middle-aged men to favor Wang Jiayao because they have a good relationship with Wang Jiayao. But the middle-aged man obviously knew this too. After a short hesitation, the middle-aged man gave an answer that surprised Gu Chen. "The First Minister of Ming Dynasty" "Yes, if you analyze it from an objective point of view, I think he may have done some unreasonable things." The voice fell, and the scene suddenly became quiet. The two sides looked at each other, and both seemed to feel that the atmosphere had become a little weird. At this time, a middle-aged woman broke the embarrassment. "Boss, help me get two biscuits and a bottle of milk, to be warm." "Oh." The middle-aged man, who had reacted, recovered from the almost suffocating atmosphere just now, and quickly withdrew and walked over: "What you want." "Thank you." After scanning the QR code to pay, the middle-aged woman turned her head and left. And the middle-aged man who turned around at this time continued to explain to Gu Chen: "I believe that he, Wang Jiayao, must have done some unreasonable things. If I put it before, I don't believe it, but today he died, I feel It is necessary to speak up." ...
