The identity of the deceased is unknown, which makes the investigation of the case problematic.

Moreover, the deceased fell from the rooftop of a five-story building in the food court, and did not commit suicide by jumping off the building.

Judging from the objects at the scene, it looked more like he had been killed and then pretended to fall from a building.

The key was to make a call to the chestnut shop owner downstairs and ask him to go upstairs to check on the situation.

This is tantamount to letting the chestnut shop owner take the blame.

From the fact that the owner of the chestnut shop was misunderstood as the murderer twice, it is not difficult to see that this "good guy" is quite cowardly.

Of course, even though the chestnut shop owner had the call records, Gu Chen couldn't completely believe it.

After all, there is no conclusion yet as to who the murderer is. Based on the traces at the scene, it can only show that the deceased may have died long ago.

And the woman in red who escaped from the scene also let everyone see the problem.

It seems that the woman in red is inexplicably involved with the deceased.

It was precisely because of this that the woman chose to escape as soon as she was discovered by Gu Chen.

But after all, there were so many people at the scene, it seemed a little difficult to find the escaped woman at this time.

But tool man He Junchao can shine.

Gu Chen put aside these questions and squatted down to check the physical condition of the deceased before Gao Chuanfeng from the Municipal Bureau's Technical Section arrived.

"The deceased fell on his back, and his body was covered with debris from the sack in many places. It can be seen that the deceased was indeed wrapped in a sack and hung on the outside of the rooftop."

"In this way, it would be difficult to be discovered by passers-by, and the deceased was killed before falling."

With these thoughts, Gu Chen carefully checked the physical condition of the deceased.

However, it was discovered that there was an obvious wound on the neck of the deceased.

Gu Chen stood up and asked Ding Liang beside him: "Do you still have spare gloves?"

"Yes." Ding Liang knew what Gu Chen meant, opened his equipment bag, took out a pair of white gloves and handed them to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen put it on smoothly and began to squat down to check the neck of the deceased.

Lu Weiwei took out her mobile phone and was responsible for taking photos of the wound site to collect evidence.

"The deceased was strangled to death." Gu Chen frowned, turned to look at Lu Weiwei and said, "And the murder weapon was something like a thin wire, very thin."

"If that's the case, maybe the murderer would wear gloves or other auxiliary items when committing the murder?" Lu Weiwei asked.

Gu Chen nodded in agreement: "Absolutely, but this person doesn't look weak. If the murderer wants to strangle the victim, he may need to make him defenseless."

"Or maybe the murderer and the victim were acquaintances, so the victim was not on guard."

"Then do you think that after the deceased was killed, the body was moved to the rooftop, or was he killed on the rooftop?" Ding Liang was also very curious about this.

After all, the deceased was hung on the rooftop, and then the chestnut shop owner was used to open the rooftop door, causing the victim to fall from a high altitude. It was indeed very strange.

Fortunately, no one passed by downstairs.

If it hits a passing pedestrian during the fall, it will be a very serious incident.

It can be seen that the murderer did not consider these issues during the crime.

Gu Chen nodded silently and couldn't help but said: "In my opinion, the timing of the murderer calling the chestnut shop owner is very important."

"If the body hangs on the rooftop for too long, maybe someone goes to the rooftop by chance, then the body will fall downstairs, but the murderer made a phone call to the chestnut shop owner, seeming to be urging this to happen."

Looking up in the direction of the rooftop, Gu Chen sighed quietly and added: "It can be seen that the murderer is very aware of the situation in this area, especially the fact that few people go to the rooftop, so he has been hiding at the scene, waiting for opportunities to act."

"After everything was ready, no one was seen on the rooftop, so I couldn't bear it anymore and directly chose to call the owner of the chestnut shop, causing the victim to fall from the rooftop."

"That woman in the red dress..." After listening to Gu Chen's various remarks, Lu Weiwei also shook her finger and said affirmatively:

"The person who has been hiding in the dark and observing must be the woman. She has been waiting for the victim to fall from the rooftop, but she just can't wait for anyone to come up."

"So she had no choice but to call the owner of the chestnut shop and pass the blame."

"Yeah." Huang Zunlong nodded silently.

Although Huang Zunlong couldn't explain why, just now Gu Chen discovered the woman who was hiding in the dark and observing the deceased.

And judging from the way the woman fled in a hurry after being discovered, it seems that this woman is highly suspicious.

This is completely consistent with what Gu Chen said.

So Huang Zunlong also expressed his opinion: "I think there must be a great connection between the deceased and the woman in the red dress who escaped. Maybe the two are acquaintances."

"It was precisely because of this so-called acquaintance relationship that the victim relaxed her vigilance, which allowed the woman to succeed."

"The problem lies with the woman in red." Ding Liang walked back and forth twice and echoed: "If she has no problem, then why is she running? If you catch her, maybe you can catch the murderer."

"It's not a big problem." Gu Chen shook his head.

Judging from the route I just followed, there are surveillance cameras at many places on the road, so it must not be difficult to find this woman.

But Gu Chen still expressed his alternative view: "If the murderer has to go to a lot of trouble to design such a method of committing a crime, then the murderer must be a little smart. At least this kind of cleverness will not make the murderer stupid enough to expose himself to surveillance.

Inside."

After a pause, when everyone looked at him with curious eyes, Gu Chen said again: "Maybe this woman is not the murderer at all."

"She's not a murderer?" Ding Liang was a little confused and retorted: "She's not a murderer, so why is she running away?"

Gu Chen crossed his arms and said with a faint smile: "We can only catch her and ask her herself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Chen's cell phone suddenly rang.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The caller was He Junchao. Without saying anything, Gu Chen directly opened the answer button and asked: "Brother He, how are you?"

"I have found the woman you are looking for." He Junchao paused and then said: "After she escaped from the back street, she circled back to a nearby parking lot and drove away from the scene."

"Later, I discovered through surveillance that her car drove directly to an apartment building. She probably lives there."

"Have you remembered the license plate number?" Gu Chen asked.

He Junchao replied: "It's a red golf hatchback sedan. The license plate is local to Jiangnan City and the tail number is 3434. It's currently parked downstairs at Sequoia Apartments. If you go there, you can probably find her."

"And." Gu Chen interrupted He Junchao's words and asked, "Has her identity information been found?"

"This is not available yet. After all, the registration information of that car belongs to a man, maybe her husband."

"Could it be that of the deceased?" Lu Weiwei had been leaning in Gu Chen's ear, listening to the conversation, and expressed her own opinion.

Gu Chen hesitated for two seconds and then said directly: "Can you send me a copy of the original car owner's information?"

"Okay, it will be sent to your mobile phone immediately. In addition, the phone number you gave me is a new number and cannot be traced." He Junchao said.

Gu Chen nodded silently and replied: "That's it for now. Help me pay close attention to where this woman lives. If she goes out, remember to tell us immediately."

"Okay." After He Junchao replied, he hung up the call directly.

At this moment, Gao Chuanfeng from the Technical Section of the Municipal Bureau also drove over with several assistants.

Finding that Gu Chen was also at the scene, he briefly communicated with Gu Chen.

Gu Chen also directly explained: "The deceased was strangled to death with a thin wire or something like a thin wire around his neck. The time of death was probably around noon. You can take him back and check again to see if there are any new findings."

"You, Gu Chen, have checked everything." Gao Chuanfeng also joked.

This was originally his job, but Gu Chen got ahead of him.

Although he was said to be brought back for testing and finishing work, in Gao Chuanfeng's view, he seemed more like he was here specifically to collect the body.

With all kinds of reluctance, Gao Chuanfeng ordered his assistant to inspect the body at the scene. After that, he was going to put it into a body bag and take it back to the City Bureau's Technical Section.

On the other hand, Gu Chen was also preparing to go to Sequoia Apartments to look for the escaped woman.

Since there were limited vehicles, Gu Chen looked directly at Gao Jian.

Gao Jian understood the idea and said directly: "I'll drive you there. I'll pack the things you ordered and we'll eat in the car."

"I'm so sorry." Lu Weiwei was a little apologetic, feeling that the incident happened so suddenly that everyone couldn't have a breakup meal.

Gao Jian also smiled nonchalantly: "It's nothing, work is important. You guys wait for me over there in the parking lot. I'll go to the store to pack and pick up the car right away."

"Sorry to trouble you." After thanking each other, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei walked directly to the parking lot.

Not long after, Gao Jian trotted over with a bag full of food, including noodles.

When he saw Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, he handed it to them directly and said, "You guys eat something in the car, I'll drive."

"That's so embarrassing." Lu Weiwei looked at the bag full of food and suddenly felt like she was about to faint from hunger.

Gao Jian just grinned, got into the driver's seat and started the vehicle.

After Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei got in the car, they immediately picked up the noodles and started eating them.

Along the way, Gao Jian also asked curiously: "By the way, is the woman we just followed really the murderer?"

"What do you think?" Gu Chen asked, holding the takeout box and taking a sip of noodles.

Gao Jian shook his head and wondered: "I don't know this, but if she ran away just looking at you, there must be something wrong. If she wasn't guilty, then why was she running?"

"So finding her now is the key." Lu Weiwei wolfed down her food, not caring about tasting the delicious Yuhang noodles. She took a few bites, even the noodle soup.

Gao Jian reminded: "I just heard you mention Sequoia Apartments, so that woman lives there, right?"
