The strongest dream therapist

Chapter 49 Group Meeting (1)

In the conference room, the oppressive atmosphere was like an invisible net.

The long table was polished to a shine, reflecting the pale light from the ceiling and illuminating the slightly tired faces of the participants.

A dozen people sat on either side of the table. Guo Yu sat at the head, his figure erect, like a steady mountain. He stared down at the computer screen, his expression obscure.

Fu Yuan sat in his seat, pretending to look at his phone, his ears already pricked up. Before entering the meeting room, Wang Fugui said that their 224th Bureau was considered an outsider and could observe and express opinions.

She raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Wang Fugui inconspicuously. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that the clothes Wang Fugui was wearing today were looser than before. They hung loosely on his body, making him look even thinner.

Guo Yu looked at the information and frowned.

Although there was no progress in the matter, the higher-ups would not hold him accountable, because he only had one kidnapping case on hand, and the kidnapped Wu Ping was successfully rescued.

As the central figure in the case, Wu Ping behaved very reasonably and never urged the police to speed up the investigation.

However, any case that may involve a "mediator" requires extreme caution. After all, mediators are extremely rare, and we cannot blindly blame them for all unsolved cases.

"What did Wu Ping say?" Guo Yu looked up from the computer and asked the subordinate who was responsible for contacting Wu Ping.

It was a female colleague with twin pigtails. "She's still a little uneasy lately, but she's feeling much better now."

Guo Yu glanced at her indifferently and said nothing.

When Wu Ping was sent to the hospital, she was extremely weak due to poisoning and drowning. She had been soaking in the water for too long and developed a high fever. She stayed in the hospital for nearly three weeks before being discharged.

After being discharged from the hospital, she moved to the police station, claiming that she was afraid that someone would continue to harm her.

After living in the police station for about a week, she decided to leave, feeling that living there was not a long-term solution, and prepared to return to her hometown, a remote mountain village in Jiang City.

But at that time, Guo Yu became suspicious of her. For Wu Ping's safety and to confirm some key clues, Guo Yu sent someone to persuade her to stay, until now.

"I mean, what did Wu Ping confess when I asked you to ask her this morning?" Guo Yu repeated, with a hint of impatience in his tone.

The female colleague's face turned red instantly, as if she had suddenly woken up from a dream, and she looked a little embarrassed.

She frantically flipped through the notebook in her hand and stammered, "It's similar to what I asked before. She just came here for fun. She's usually kind to others and has never argued with them. She doesn't know why she was targeted."

Guo Yu tapped the table with his index finger, like knocking on a door. "Then why did she say that Lin didn't commit suicide? Does she have any evidence?"

The female colleague shook her head with a wry smile on her face: "There is no evidence, it's just a woman's sixth sense. I have also asked about this."

Guo Yu asked: "Did the deceased buy any insurance? Who was the beneficiary?"

The female colleague didn't understand what he meant and answered honestly, "I bought it, but he was the beneficiary. And because he committed suicide, the insurance policy is invalid and the insurance company refused to pay."

Guo Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, changed the subject, and continued to pursue the matter relentlessly: "Since she felt something was wrong, didn't she chase after him? Or even ask why?"

"What if it's an illusion? And sometimes, men can be scary when they get angry. I think there's nothing wrong with what she did." The female colleague retorted with her head down, but out of respect for Guo Yu, her voice was so low that only Fu Yuan, who had sharp hearing, heard it.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Guo Yu was a little annoyed. He felt that there were not many people under his group who could give him peace of mind. They had to ask him to tell them the precautions in detail when arranging work.

"I'm asking you a question, why are you looking down? Also, how's the investigation into the poisoning going? It's been going on for so long."

The female colleague was so frightened by her outburst that she immediately stood still and shouted, "As for poisoning, Wu Ping said it might be something she accidentally ingested, and she doesn't understand. And because she was dining with her family, the restaurant had already cleaned up everything. The same goes for the hotel, we can't find anything." Guo Yu rubbed his brow, leaned back, half-lying in his chair, and asked tiredly, "There are so many surveillance cameras in the hotel, have you checked it?"

The female colleague quickly replied, "Wu Ping said that because the coupons were only valid for use at Changwan restaurants, they ate all three meals a day at the Changwan restaurant. We checked the surveillance footage throughout the entire process, and there was no problem."

Guo Yu looked at her, doubting his subordinate's ability, and asked her, "What do you mean by full monitoring?"

Female colleague: "From the time it's shipped out of the kitchen to the time it's delivered to the table. There are surveillance cameras in the kitchen. We showed the production video to the chef, and he said there were no problems with the production process. We've sent you the relevant information via email."

Guo Yu focused on the meal time. The day before the fever broke out, every time they ate, they sat at a table near the sea. There was nothing wrong with that. Many people liked to sit like this because they could enjoy the sea view while eating.

But the problem was that every time the waiter pushed the food cart past, Lin would stand up to pick up the food.

The huge food cart and people will completely block the food on the table.

If Wu Ping was poisoned by eating something, then the poisoning could only have occurred during this period of time.

So, was it Lin who poisoned the person during this period?

Why? What’s the point?
Guo Yu looked at it again and again, but couldn't figure it out.

Guo Yu looked at the information above and asked, "Is Lin's eldest son also here for vacation?"

The female colleague nodded: "Wu Ping told me about this."

Guo Yu: "Why didn't they eat together?"

The female colleague was a little surprised: "The eldest son is already in his 20s, about the same age as Wu Ping. When they ate together, I thought it was just the father-in-law eating with his son and daughter-in-law. Isn't it normal that they didn't eat together?"

Guo Yu coughed dryly. He had been busy with another case some time ago, and it was only when Fu Yuan suddenly mentioned it in a message that he decided to continue pursuing this case. This question was a bit thoughtless, "Does she have any guesses about who poisoned her?"

The female colleague shook her head: "She said she hadn't offended anyone, and she didn't know who would harm her."

Guo Yu's eyes curled slightly, revealing a meaningful smile. "What she said is quite interesting. She married so many men before, and her husbands either died or became disabled. And she said she never offended anyone? Is she too naive or too stupid?"

The female colleague lowered her head and whispered, "That's not her problem. It's the modern era now, why does Captain Guo still think someone is going to kill their husband?"

Guo Yu looked at her deeply and said, "You don't need to look after Wu Ping anymore. Let two female colleagues take over."

Considering that Wu Ping was a girl, I didn't let the male colleagues approach her, but chose the somewhat honest girl in front of me.

He then said to Wang Fugui, "It seems Wu Ping is indeed a mediator. Similar to verbal influence, she can subconsciously make people believe in her."

As he spoke, his eyes grew cold: "I wonder if her ex-husbands really died by accident, or were they killed by her ability."

Wang Fugui looked particularly weak today. He nodded sickly and said in a hoarse voice, "I feel it's very likely she committed murder. Her ability is very flawed. I just don't know what the taboos are. In any case, this is an era where evidence is important. She's determined not to give in, and there's nothing we can do to her."

Guo Yu took a sip of coffee, the bitterness spreading on his tongue. He sighed helplessly, "Forget about her. Let's get back to the kidnapping case and the suspect."

　The New Year atmosphere is so strong that I don’t want to type…
