190: The incidents are linked

The incidents are linked

Huo Jinghang didn't dodge and squarely took on this kick.2

He said to Gu Beihan, "Brother, you have just landed in the country and you were attacked. Now that you are injured, I think you should postpone your plans and return back to M country. You have to recuperate first," Huo Jinghang glanced at Gu Beihan and seeing that the latter was listening carefully, he continued, "Anyway we have all the information related to Gu Xiang thanks to Peng Yue. Now you don't have to show yourself. We will handle everything here."

Gu Beihan was lost deep in thoughts. After a while, he nodded agreeing with Huo Jinghang, "Start preparing for my departure, I will return tonight."

Gu Beihan ordered and then walked to the bathroom.

Huo Jinghang did not leave a chance of teasing Gu Beihan, "Do you need me to help you bathe? Aren't things in-con-ve-ni-ent for your right now?"

He emphasized the last few words.

Gu Beihan's eyes squinted at those words and his gaze turned sharp. "Get out!"

Huo Jinghang gulped and quickly hustled his way to the window.

Gu Beihan changed his clothes before freshening up. Huo Jinghang came back after a while and both the guys sneaked out of Yun Jian's villa.

As he was injured, jumping out of the window was not an option, so Gu Beihan and Huo Jinghang tried to sneak out from the front door itself.

"Don't let your wound open up," a calm voice sounded out in the living room.

Gu Beihan and Huo Jinghang were shocked. They turned back to see Qin Yan standing in the living room while her hands folded near her chest.

Gu Beihan and Huo Jinghang were stunned seeing Qin Yan standing calmly. 'From when is she observing us? How much does she know? How could we not deduce her presence?' Many questions popped out of the duo's minds.

Both Gu Beihan and Huo Jinghang were highly trained and it was not easy to spot them if they didn't want to. Still Qin Yan was able to do that so easily that too without letting them know about her presence.

Gu Beihan smiled, 'As expected. This girl is not simple!'

He looked at Qin Yan deeply and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of myself. After all, I have to preserve my body for you," he flirted openly with Qin Yan.

Qin Yan did not pay heed to Gu Beihan and left the living room.

Gu Beihan's smile did not fade.

He looked at Qin Yan's fading figure and left the house with Huo Jinghang.

The next morning, Qin Yan heard a scream from the guest room, "Yan Yan!"

Qin Yan sighed. She knew why Yun Jian was shouting. Gu Beihan had left in the middle of the night and Yun Jian was unaware about it. Now that she might have seen the guest room empty, she freaked out.

Before she could get up from the bed, Yun Jian came running to her room, "Yan Yan, get up, get up quickly. You don't know what happened! That man you saved last night disappeared. He is not in the guest room!"

Yun Jian did not notice the calmness of Qin Yan and continued babbling, "Oh my god! How can an injured man disappear without a trace? Yan Yan, do you think that he might be in danger? The people who were trying to assassinate him might have taken him away! Should I file an official complaint?"

"Calm down!" Qin Yan got up from the bed, "He left with his subordinates in the middle of the night. Don't worry. He was safe and sound."

"How could he have left with a gunshot wound? Isn't he human?" Yun Jian was puzzled by the situation. Although she was a police officer, a gunshot wound was a big thing.

"Some people are highly trained. Even the police force or army cannot be compared to them. A gunshot wound isn't a big thing for such type of people," Qin Yan explained.

Yun Jian listened to Qin Yan's explanation and felt that her best friend was making some sense.

"By the way, how do you know when he left? Were you awake when he left? Did you see him leaving?" Yun Jian fired another set of questions towards Qin Yan.

Qin Yan glanced at her friend and replied, "Yes, I saw them leaving. And no more questions now. Let me get freshened up, I need to go to college. You also leave now!" Qin Yan pushed Yun Jian out of her room before closing the door.

"Yan Yan, how can you be so mean? When you needed me, you cane to my place. Now when your work is done, you are abandoning your best friend. Oh god, how can people be like this! Where is the justice in this world!" Yun Jian pretended to be pitiful outside the door of Qin Yan's bedroom.

Qin Yan ignored the latter and carried on with her daily chores.

A while later, Qin Yan descended down the stairs towards the living room.

"You have placed the security there, right? Make sure that Mr. Gu is well protected," Yun Jian sat on the couch in the living room donned in her police uniform. She was giving instructions on the phone and her aura had changed from a mischievous girl to a serious police officer.

Qin Yan walked towards her best friend and sat on the couch beside Yun Jian.

"Okay, I will visit the hospital today," Yun Jian hung up the call after saying this.

Qin Yan, noticing that Yun Jian's phone call was over, asked the latter, "What is the matter? Anything serious?" Qin Yan asked as she saw Yun Jian frowning.

Yun Jian gazed at Qin Yan in a daze. She did not say anything as her attention was towards the case. Qin Yan understood this and did not hurry Yun Jian. She let the latter take her time.

After a while, Yun Jian came back to her senses, "Huh? Did you say anything?" Yun Jian felt that Qin Yan had asked something.

Qin Yan shook her head resignedly. She had no hope for her friend. Still she asked again, "Is anything serious? What's the matter? Why are you so puzzled?"

Yun Jian thought about the recent case and said, "Actually, a strange incident occurred a month earlier. An asthmatic patient was found unconscious in his house after riding a treadmill on the highest speed. His asthmatic pump was also empty and thus when he suffered an attack, he fell into coma."

"What I cannot understand is that why would an asthmatic patient run on a treadmill at the fastest speed? Moreover he was about 65 years old. Was he out of his mind to do such a thing?" Yun Jian had serious doubt about the whole situation.

"Maybe, he wanted to commit suicide!" Qin Yan told her perception of the situation.

"No, it was definitely not a suicide attempt. We found the empty inhaler pump near his hand. If he wanted to commit suicide, why would he try to administer himself an inhaler?" Yun Jian deduced from the situation, "I think the matter is something else. So I have allotted two police officers outside the ICU of the hospital in which Mr. Gu Yinglei is admitted to."

Qin Yan frowned. She thought that Yun Jian definitely made sense.

"Do you think that it is an attempted murder?" Qin Yan gazed at her best friend.

Yun Jian nodded, "Yes, but we didn't find anything in our investigation. It seems to be very well planned. That is why I have a feeling that what we are seeing is very different from what has actually happened."

"This is the third case like this. It seems to be a suicide but the loopholes tell us that it is not actually a suicide. However, no matter how much we are trying, there is no evidence to prove that it could be an attempted murder," Yun Jian narrowed her eyes.

"The third case? Did you find any cases similar to this?" Qin Yan was confused.

"Haven't we talked about the guy who died in an accident and the actress who committed suicide? I am talking about those cases. In all other cases which I have investigated, we always get atleast one clue. But in these cases, it is just our theory but no evidence. I think Mr. Gu Yinglei's case is similar to the first two cases. I have a theory but no evidence," Yun Jian concluded.

Qin Yan's frown deepened, "Are you saying that these cases could be linked?"

Yun Jian nodded, "The incidents seem to have this thing in common. Even if we can find out the loopholes, it is just our thinking. But there is no solid evidence. All the three cases have this in common."

Qin Yan also acknowledged the thinking of Yun Jian. She then said, "Maybe you should find if there is anything common with the three victims. Maybe, the murders are linked to each other!"
