Officer Wang was indeed a little confused at the time.
But when he heard Gu Chen's call, he realized that Gu Chen was still in the room.
"You guys wait here." Officer Wang asked the man and the landlord to stay where they were, and ran into the room to find Gu Chen.
"Have you made any new discoveries?"
"Yes."
"where?"
"The footprints on the ground are new."
Officer Wang lowered his head. There was a lot of dust on the ground, but the footprints were intricate.
"How can you determine that these footprints are those of the person we are looking for?"
If there is no evidence, Officer Wang will not believe it randomly.
Gu Chen pointed to one of the plots and said: "There are three side by side footprints here, two on the left and right, at least wearing shoes of size 44, but only the one in the middle seems to be wearing between size 35 and 36, which is very consistent
The three people in the surveillance screen."
Officer Wang was also shocked by Gu Chen's observation skills.
You should know that the landlord uses the house to store goods, so there is a lot of dust on the ground and the footsteps are very messy.
But the footprints Gu Chen mentioned were on top of the basic superimposed footprints, including the ones he had just stepped on.
Why is it so certain?
Because Officer Wang's leather shoes were worn for three years, a large piece of the outside of the heel was cut off, so there was an obvious gap where the footprints were at the heel.
But even so, Gu Chen could clearly find that three of the footprints were new.
"Monster, you are simply a monster. You can see this. What do you usually eat?"
Officer Wang was also impressed by Gu Chen's amazing observation skills.
"Senior Brother Wang, look." Gu Chen pointed to the balcony and said, "There is a small courtyard behind this floor, and there is a door in the courtyard that leads to another small alley."
"You mean, the person we are looking for escaped from the alley?" Officer Wang's eyes suddenly lit up. He quickly opened the balcony door and rushed directly into the small courtyard.
When Officer Wang and Gu Chen opened the courtyard gate, they discovered that outside was a trail connecting the old community.
It can be connected to almost all directions and connects to the main roads everywhere.
"Damn, how can we find this?" Officer Wang was desperate at that time.
This kind of terrain is not much different from a maze. If you are not very familiar with the terrain, wandering around in the alleys of this old community, you probably won't be able to get out.
"Comrade police, what's the problem?" The landlord came over timidly. She was also startled when she heard that there was a kidnapper in the room.
"Someone may have been to your house, but they left through the back door of the yard." Gu Chen also informed the landlord of what he knew.
The landlord's face turned dark at that time, and she quickly looked around: "There is really a thief at home? But I still have so many goods."
"Then go get a new lock quickly, really." Gu Chen also gave very pertinent advice.
After all, it's not too late to make amends.
"Yes, I will change it right away." The landlord was also frightened and was about to return to the house, but she suddenly remembered something and immediately stopped again and asked: "Comrade police, are you sure that is a kidnapper and not a thief?
?”
"Which thief is stupid enough to steal wood?" Officer Wang also said with a dark face: "Your furniture is heavy and big, doesn't it expose your target when you walk on the road?"
I've heard of people stealing home appliances and jewelry, but I've never heard of people stealing furniture.
Back at the door, Lu Weiwei walked forward curiously and asked, "How was it? Did you find anything?"
"Yes and no." Officer Wang's answer was very difficult to pronounce.
Lu Weiwei ignored him and turned to ask Gu Chen: "Junior brother Gu, what's going on?"
"Those people did come here, but they ran away through the small door at the back."
"Then why not chase?"
"Can't catch up."
"Why?"
"Because the alleys behind it lead in all directions, there are really few clues left."
The scene fell into a brief silence...
Officer Wang sighed and said, "Go back and let the communications operator investigate the woman's phone number. I think there may be something to gain."
"Old Wang, do you also believe our statement?" Seeing Officer Wang's change of attitude, Lu Weiwei quickly asked.
"That's right." Officer Wang hesitated for a few seconds and said as he walked: "I didn't believe it at first, but when Gu Chen found the footprints of these people, I realized that maybe the coded message for help you received was real.
of."
Gu Chen added from the side: "We should contact the girl's parents now. This may also be a key clue."
In his opinion, the reason why a girl can calmly call the police by ordering takeout while being around the gangsters shows that these suspects have no intention of harming her.
And the hijacking may just have another purpose.
Gu Chen was also in the room. After telling Officer Wang his thoughts, Officer Wang agreed to launch the next step of the investigation.
When I returned to Furong Police Station, it was already late at night.
The food Gu Chen put on the table was cold...
Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei did not work overtime today, but Officer Wang had to work the night shift. However, after encountering this incident, everyone entered a voluntary overtime state.
"Junior Brother Gu, I still have snacks here. It shouldn't be a problem to fill your stomach." Lu Weiwei dragged out the drawer and took out her inventory to share.
Then, she looked at Officer Wang behind her and asked, "Old Wang, what do you want?"
"Yes, of course I want it." Officer Wang touched his belly and said, "I was in the cafeteria just now, and I was called over by you when I was only halfway through my meal. If I continue like this, I'm going to get the old stomach bug again."
Subsequently, Officer Wang took a package of vacuum-packed roasted chicken legs, a braised egg and three French buns from Lu Weiwei's drawer.
Gu Chen also came over, picked out four French buns, and casually said thank you.
At this moment, an old comrade who was working the night shift walked in with two trainee police officers. When he saw the three of them "turning on a stove" in the office, his eyes immediately went straight.
Lu Weiwei quickly threw the remaining French bread over and said: "These are for you, the rest... will never be."
"Lu Weiwei, Lao Wang has chicken legs to eat, so why don't you give us this?" The old comrade was quite dissatisfied.
"It would be nice to have some." Officer Wang burped loudly with his mouth full of oil: "We have to handle a case tonight, so give us the folding bed. You can go find a sofa in the office next door."
"Okay." The old comrade weighed the bread in his hand and said to the two trainee police officers: "Let's go and give the office to them."
The three of them left the office...
On the corridor, a trainee police officer whispered dissatisfiedly: "Master, a few pieces of bread have occupied our nest. This business is too bad."
"Shut up." The old comrade immediately warned: "Be careful that Lu Weiwei spits in your tea cup."
Thirty minutes later...
Officer Wang finally received a reply from the communications operator. While answering the call, he recorded the important information.
After hanging up the phone, Officer Wang suddenly became full of energy and said: "Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, don't go to sleep. We have work to do tonight."
