Meeting A Demonic Cultivator, Even God Cries

Chapter 101: Xiao Shuang, Xiao Jun

Gu Xizhou looked at the two people, then turned around and went to the bathroom first.

Youre going, too? Gu Xizhou raised an eyebrow at Si Yu, who was following him.

Si Yu raised his chin and asked blankly, I cant?

No

After he left the bathroom, Gu Xizhou saw Xiang Yuan, face pale, chest heaving. Gu Xizhou looked at him. Why do you look so pale? Feeling sick?

Xiang Yuan gasped for breath, dragging Gu Xizhou to the parking lot. He pointed outside. Fuck, you have no idea. I just went out to buy some mineral water and caught a glimpse of this guy. He scared the shit out of me!

Alright, who could scare you, ah? Gu Xizhou laughed. You touch dead bodies every day. Can anyone scare you?

Xiang Yuan went on: I saw a car out of the corner of my eye while I was buying water. I glanced over, and I saw the face of the dead man! I thought it was just my eyes playing tricks, so I rubbed them and looked again, but it was real! That man looked just like the victim! I was scared stupid, so I ran back to find you.

Xiang Yuan gestured with his hands as he spoke. It didnt look like he was lying. Gu Xizhou replied, Why did you come find me? Its not like I can communicate with the dead.

Are you working too much and starting to crack? Gu Xizhou asked, thinking aloud.

Xiang Yuan seethed, glaring at Gu Xizhou. You believe me?!

While the two people were speaking at the doorway, Si Yu came out. He had clearly heard their conversation, and he said, I dont think Forensic Investigator Xiang saw wrongly.

Xiang Yuan looked touched, and spoke to Si Yu in an especially intimate tone. Your words are music to my ears!

Si Yu nodded. You saw someone who looked exactly the same as the victim. Theres another possibility besides ghosts.

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 raised an eyebrow and looked at Si Yu, watching him indifferently dry his hands with a paper towel. He said, Hes the victims twin brother.

Thats possible! Just now I heard the victims parents make a phone call to his Gege. Xiang Yuan clapped his hands together, wiped his pale face, and dragged Gu Xizhou over to the parking lot.

Xiao Shuang- Xiao Shuang is dead The two old parents wept bitterly, clutching the mans hand as they cried.

The identical man wiped some tears, but his mood was still relatively stable. Gu Xizhou walked over. The man turned around, and Gu Xizhou was slightly shocked by the sight of the mans face that was identical to the victim. Then he held out his hand and said, Hello, are you the victims Gege?

The man reached out and shook Gu Xizhous hand. He nodded, choked with emotion. Yes, thats right. I am Xiao Shuangs Gege. Im Liao Jun.

Gu Xizhou carefully sized up the victims older brother, Liao Jun. He tilted his head and recalled the victims look earlier. The two brothers actually looked so alike. Besides the different clothes, these two were simply carbon copies. Even their hair was the same.

We just saw each other this morning. How could this happen Liao Jun covered his mouth and began to cry. Officer, you must catch the murderer! I beg you! You must catch them, ah!

Are you the only one who came? I remember he has a daughter. She didnt come? Gu Xizhou asked.

Liao Jun said, My Didi is divorced, and my niece has always followed my sister-in-law. Shes not in Ningqing. Shes in another part of the country. Weve already notified her, and shes hurrying back.

Oh. Gu Xizhou nodded at Liao Jun. Then, he briefly explained the situation. I saw that you were very upset. Is your relationship with your Didi very close?

Liao Jun nodded. Yes. My Didi and I have always had a very good relationship.

Gu Xizhou continued, As far as you know, did he have any recent enemies? Has he confided with you about any disagreements? Has anyone threatened to harm him or anything?

No.

Hearing Liao Juns short answer, Gu Xizhou wrinkled his brows. Think carefully. The murderer followed him to the mall and killed him. Their technique was very skilled, like a professional hitman. Someone must have hired a hitman.

Liao Jun scratched his head, earnestly thinking for a while. He said, En I dont think it would be that person She doesnt have the courage to do something that big

Who? Gu Xizhou asked Liao Jun.

Huang Yuzhen. Liao Jun hesitated before he mentioned a name. Gu Xizhou noticed that his complexion looked rather poor when he said this womans name. Huang Yuzhen is my Didis coworker, but she leads another department. It was last month, ba. Huang Yuzhen accepted a bribe from a second party and was discovered by my Didi. My Didi didnt give her the money. Ever since then, Huang Yuzhen has thought of him as an eyesore.

After that, their company boss somehow learned about this matter and fired Huang Yuzhen. Then, Huang Yuzhen was very unhappy. She called to curse at my Didi. Sometimes she sends texts. Anyway, theyre very vulgar

But I dont think its her She has a vicious mouth, but she shouldnt have the guts to hire a hitman. Liao Jun frowned and continued, Plus, Ive heard shes already left Ningqing.

Liao Jun finished speaking, and Gu Xizhou frowned. He asked, Is there anyone else? Did your Didi have any enemies?

Liao Jun thought, then shook his head and said, No I dont think so. That was the only thing he told me.

Gu Xizhou looked at him and spoke leisurely, You know your Didis friends very well.

Ha? Liao Jun was a little flabbergasted, and his complexion wasnt good. He explained hastily, We work very close to each other, in the same plaza. At noon we eat lunch together if were not busy, so I hear him chat a lot.

Gu Xizhou nodded slightly. He turned his head to look at the two old parents off to the side. They were sitting on the ground, and the middle-aged woman stood quietly beside them, handing over tissues. He heard the woman speak gently, Dad, Mom, dont grieve. The police will definitely catch the killer. Wouldnt brother-in-law be hurt if he saw you like this?

But Xiao Shuang is dead, how How could he be dead? He

Gu Xizhou couldnt believe it. Before, the two parents were well dressed and seemed barely put together, but now they looked like theyd lost their souls. Their waists seemed to bend in a split second, and their backs also began to droop.

The old parents saw Gu Xizhou look at them and used their wrinkled hands to lightly wipe their tears.

Looking at their pathetic appearance, Gu Xizhou didnt really have the heart to go over and ask them those painful questions.

The victims father was old and gray-haired, he wore spectacles, and he dressed like a scholar. The victims mother was similar, but now the two sat there, trembling and shaking as they nestled into each other. Their tearful eyes gleamed as they looked at him, like they were about to keel over right there.

They gazed at Gu Xizhou for a while. After a moment, the victims father sucked in a sob and said, Officer, you must catch the killer!

Gu Xizhou looked at him. After a moment of silence, he nodded. He thought he should give the old parents some hope. Also, catching the killer was his responsibility since he replaced Gu Ji Ji.

Definitely.

Hearing Gu Xizhou, the old parents looked like they were grasping their last hope, and their eyes regained a little light. Apparently, they believed him.

Those two also didnt know how long they were crying. Finally, with the appeasement of their elder son and daughter-in-law, they stopped weeping. Gu Xizhou took advantage of their mood stabilizing and asked, Did Liao Shuang have any disagreements recently?

The parents shook their heads. We dont know. He shouldnt have. I havent heard anything.

Then has he mentioned anything about work recently?

The parents spoke with a sigh, He never brings up work with us two old people. Those brothers both never let us worry about them.

Alright. Gu Xizhou asked, Did he look for a new partner after his divorce? We need to contact anyone hes involved with. Maybe we can get useful information.

No The elderly parents cried, This child hasnt looked for anyone since his divorce sixteen years ago. Hes always lived alone. We tried to persuade him, but he didnt listen. He said hed rather spend time with us. He was very filial, and he came back to visit every week.

Gu Xizhou was surprised. The victim divorced sixteen years ago and didnt look for anybody else. Could it be that he still had feelings for his ex-wife?

Gu Xizhou asked a few things, but he discovered the victims parents knew nothing at all about his private life.

Sixteen years of celibacy for his ex-wife? That was intriguing.

Okay, ba. It seemed like there was nothing left to ask. The victims parents knew nothing about him. Gu Xizhou said helplessly, Thank you.

Afternoon18:35:25

The dead body was already taken away, the photographs were taken, and the surroundings were still cordoned off with police tape. Gu Xizhou patted the shoulders of the old man and woman and said softly, Its been hard for you. You go back first, ba. Well contact you if theres any progress in the investigation.

The two dropped their eyes and nodded absently. Beside them, the victims Gege and his wife immediately went to support them.

Xiao Shuang, ah, your Gege is dead

When Liao Jun heard his mother, he said, choked with sobs, Mama, youre wrong. Im the eldest, Xiao Jun, ah!

The old woman heard this and used her hand to touch Liao Juns face. She stroked it for a while and asked, Xiao Shuang, you really arent Xiao Shuang

Mom, you can call me that if you want to. Didi is dead. Im your Xiao Shuang. Liao Jun cried and hugged his mother.
