After hearing Zhuang Qi's various explanations, Gu Chen roughly understood why the old man appeared in the warehouse of the railway freight yard.
It was Zhuang Qi who cut the barbed wire and let the old man in.
Han Xu shook his head, pointed at Zhuang Qi and said angrily: "Zhuang Qi, Zhuang Qi, I really don't know what to say to you? Not only did you let outsiders in casually, but you also cut off the barbed wire? You..."
"Mr. Han, calm down. Xiaozhuang also feels pity for the old man. He is afraid that the old man will freeze to death." Seeing that Han Xu was getting angry, the middle-aged female worker also hurried over to persuade him.
All these things were caused by Zhuang Qi.
Now that the fire has engulfed the warehouse and the old man has been burned to ashes, everything seems to have been doomed.
After Gu Chen recorded all this, he also asked Zhuang Qi: "You said the old man only came to live at night, so does he still stay near the railway overpass during the day?"
"Well, that's right. He usually stays there during the day and occasionally moves around, but his range of activities is only nearby." Zhuang Qi knew the old man's range of activities after all, so when Gu Chen asked, she told the truth.
"Very good." Gu Chen nodded silently and asked: "If that's the case, the old man usually goes to the warehouse to live in the dead of night, and the electric kettle you gave him is fine."
"Then it seems that the cause of the fire needs to be investigated separately?"
"Uh..." Zhuang Qi was a little embarrassed, but she still said truthfully: "Comrade police, I can guarantee that there is nothing wrong with my electric kettle and it will not cause a fire at all."
"Don't be so impatient yet." Officer Wang interrupted Zhuang Qi's words and explained: "As for whether the fire was caused by electrical appliances, we have to leave it to the fire brigade to investigate."
"But this dead old man, you have to help me complete the information."
"Ah?" Zhuang Qi didn't seem to understand after hearing Officer Wang's words.
"Don't understand?" Officer Wang asked her with raised eyebrows.
Zhuang Qi shook his head: "I don't know that old man, how can I help you complete the information?"
"Then did you see him yesterday?" Lu Weiwei asked hoarsely.
Zhuang Qi thought for a few seconds, then nodded and said: "Yesterday at noon, I saw him at the railway overpass. He has been wandering nearby..."
Zhuang Qi is also in a panic now.
You know, it's a big deal when a warehouse in an open-air freight yard is burned down.
Moreover, the elderly person he helped was now burned to char, which made Zhuang Qi a little sad.
Originally, I just wanted to help the old man and use the warmth of the warehouse to protect him and help him survive the severe cold.
Unexpectedly, a fire today destroyed everything.
The old man died, which was a huge blow to Zhuang Qi.
At this moment, Zhuang Qi was explaining everything about the old man to Gu Chen, her eyes gradually turning red.
It felt like I was sobbing when I spoke.
After Gu Chen finished recording, Zhuang Qi could no longer hold back her tears and covered her face and burst into tears.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the entire office was awkward.
Han Xu also said angrily: "I didn't say anything to you? Why are you still crying?"
"It was me who harmed him. I should not have the heart of a Bodhisattva. It was my fault for letting him live in the warehouse. If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have died. Wuwu..."
Zhuang Qi felt extremely wronged at this moment. Thinking of the old man's burnt body, the crying noise suddenly became louder and louder.
The middle-aged female worker quickly hugged Zhuang Qi, patted her back and comforted her: "It's not all your fault. How did the fire start? We don't know yet, so you don't need to blame yourself too much."
"There are police comrades in everything, so don't feel bad, ah..."
There were cries on one side, and on the other side, Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang also walked out of the monitoring room under the leadership of Han Xu.
Han Xu also said with a helpless smile: "Comrade police, I'm really sorry. In fact, we didn't know anything about this old man before."
"Unexpectedly, it was a new employee of our company who let the old man in without authorization, which caused this catastrophe."
"Looking back, I want to make a self-examination, and I must strengthen supervision in the future."
Seeing Gu Chen walking straight out of the office building without answering, Han Xu chased him a few steps to Gu Chen and said, "Comrade police, I don't know anything about this matter. It really has nothing to do with me.
"
"I know, but you have supervisory responsibilities." Gu Chen just said casually and came to the scene of the incident again.
At this moment, Huang Zunlong and Ding Liang had also arrived at the scene and cordoned off the scene.
Gao Chuanfeng from the Technical Section of the Municipal Bureau has already arranged manpower to put the burned corpse into a transparent evidence collection bag.
Seeing Gu Chen and others just coming over, accompanied by a fat man who was chirping, Gao Chuanfeng asked directly: "Gu Chen, what's going on with this man? Is he burned like this?"
"A homeless old man, whose identity has not been confirmed yet." Gu Chen walked over and said.
"The identity has not been confirmed yet?" Gao Chuanfeng heard this and was also confused: "Then what should we do now? Take it back to the City Bureau's Technical Section?"
"Yes." Gu Chen nodded silently and explained, "You put the body into a body bag first and take it back to the city bureau's technical department for testing. I will go with you."
"Okay." It feels like dealing with this kind of burnt corpse is much more complicated than dealing with ordinary corpses.
Gao Chuanfeng had helplessness on his face, but he could only bite the bullet and ask two assistants to help transport the body.
As for the burnt corpse, it is troublesome to carry it, so you must be careful.
Some fallen debris even needs to be collected.
Later, Gu Chen took Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha to the scene of the crime, which was the burnt warehouse.
At this moment, white smoke is still rising from every corner of the warehouse, and all kinds of unpleasant smells are coming.
After firefighter Xiao Li checked the last open flame, he walked out and said goodbye to Gu Chen: "Gu Chen, we have to leave. I'll leave this place to you."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Thank you." Gu Chen thanked him, and then asked: "Xiao Li, what do you think caused the fire?"
"Well..." Fireman Xiao Li was stunned and said calmly: "To be honest, it's hard for me to judge. After all, there are too many debris at the scene."
"There are also a lot of wood and fibers, such as those snakeskin bags, which are particularly easy to burn. There are other sundries that I won't mention."
"Anyway, we found a burned electric kettle at the scene. It seems that it was caused by improper use of electrical appliances. This is generally the case with this type of fire."
"But the quality of this electric kettle is very good, and it will automatically cut off the power when there is no water or not enough water. How could the fire be caused by an electrical appliance?"
After Lu Weiwei listened to Zhuang Qi's explanation just now, she immediately felt that what Zhuang Qi said made sense.
But firefighter Xiao Li smiled bitterly and said: "I can't explain this clearly. Generally speaking, many fires are caused by improper use of electrical appliances."
"Some short circuits occurred during use, and some spontaneous combustion occurred on the spot. The owners of many electrical appliances can see it."
"So, it is easier to investigate, but here..."
Firefighter Xiao Li looked around and said helplessly: "But this place is burned like this, and many things are flammable."
"And we don't know yet. Did the old man ignite the flammable objects around him? Or was it for some other reason?"
"So, for now, we have at least found the use of electrical appliances, so we temporarily infer that it was caused by a short circuit in the electrical appliances."
After a pause, firefighter Xiao Li said again: "But is it true or not? It's hard for us to judge. If you find anything new, you can notify us in time."
"Okay." Knowing that the scene environment was too complicated, especially the presence of too many flammable materials, Gu Chen also understood what firefighter Xiao Li said and could only thank him again and again.
Not long after, the firefighters gathered and drove away.
Gu Chen walked to the middle of the warehouse.
This warehouse is indeed different from several other large warehouses. This is a temporary building for storing sundries.
Compared with other large warehouses, this warehouse seemed a bit small, but Gu Chen was able to find some remains and powder that had been burned to ashes among the ruins, and he moved the burnt electric kettle aside.
When the middle-aged female worker saw this, she quickly asked Zhuang Qi, who had caused the trouble, to help her count the items.
Since the detailed list of the warehouse was always in Zhuang Qi's hands, Zhuang Qi hurriedly followed Gu Chen, hoping to redeem his damned Bodhisattva heart by explaining some of the wreckage items to Gu Chen.
"Officer Gu, this is where the snakeskin bag is placed, so there are ashes from the snakeskin bag all around."
"Here, this is where some wood is stored. It's all debris from the railway freight yard..."
Zhuang Qi explained seriously, and Gu Chen also listened carefully.
But after looking around, Gu Chen couldn't find any suspicious clues.
The surrounding area has been in a mess due to the fire, and with the firefighting efforts, many places are now extremely humid.
Gu Chen turned to Han Xu and asked, "Were you at the scene when the body was brought out?"
"No...that's right, I was there." Han Xu heard this and hurriedly walked to Gu Chen's side.
"What was his condition at that time?" Gu Chen asked.
"Just..." Han Xu looked around, then pointed to a certain location and said, "Lie down here."
"Is it this location?" Officer Wang pointed at the door and said.
Han Xu nodded silently: "Yes, he probably wanted to escape, but his way might have been blocked by combustible objects in front of him, so he failed to escape. Then he was knocked down by the smoke, and finally he was swallowed up by the fire."
After saying this, Han Xu also sighed, feeling a little regretful.
Lu Weiwei asked in a hoarse voice: "Are there any photos of the scene?"
"No...no, but what I said is true. Not only me, but many people at the scene saw it. The body was lying here."
Gu Chen listened to Han Xu's explanation and came to the alleged crime scene. Later, Yuan Shasha took the tool box and handed a bag of white powder to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen followed Han Xu's words and used powder to describe the old man's specific location at that time.
It didn't take long before a humanoid figure lying near the door became clear.
Gu Chen clapped his hands, then took out his mobile phone and took pictures of the scene.
At this moment, Gao Chuanfeng, who had installed the body, also walked outside and called out: "Gu Chen, we are ready here, do you want to come with me back to the city bureau's technical department?"
"You guys get in the car first, I'll be right over." Gu Chen also said casually.
After completing the preliminary investigation of the scene, Gu Chen called Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong and explained:
"You guys continue to stay here and deal with the follow-up work. I'll go with Gao Chuanfeng to the Technical Department of the Municipal Bureau to see what's going on with the body?"
"No problem, leave it to us." Ding Liang also has considerable experience in handling this kind of follow-up work, so he agreed immediately.
Afterwards, everyone raised the cordon, and Gu Chen drove to the Technical Section of the Municipal Bureau with Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha.
…
…
Since they returned to the Technical Section of the Municipal Bureau, it was already lunch time, so Gu Chen and others followed Gao Chuanfeng's team and enjoyed the packed lunch outside the testing room before preparing to do the final test on the body.
Gao Chuanfeng also expressed admiration: "Gu Chen, how dare you come to examine the body after lunch? Aren't you afraid of vomiting out everything you ate at noon?"
"Why should I be a policeman if I'm afraid of corpses? I have no problem." Gu Chen said.
Officer Wang also grinned: "It's no problem for me either."
Yuan Shasha said a little nervously: "Although it looks disgusting, can I stay outside later? Because I'm afraid that I won't be able to control it, vomited, and soiled the testing room."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Haha." Hearing what Yuan Shasha said, Gao Chuanfeng suddenly felt proud.
I said in my heart that there are still some people in the Criminal Investigation Team of Furong Branch who are disgusted with such burnt corpses, otherwise I would be very embarrassed.
After all, my two assistants have been vomiting in the bathroom since they came back and have no appetite for lunch.
But it would be a bit unreasonable to say that none of Gu Chen's criminal investigation team had any special reaction.
Fortunately, Yuan Shasha still couldn't bear it. Thinking about it this way, Gao Chuanfeng felt much more balanced.
Lu Weiwei took out a tissue, dipped it in her mouth, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Although it's a bit nauseating, vomiting is not a problem. I'm fine, no problem."
"Lu Weiwei, what's wrong with your voice?" Gao Chuanfeng noticed that Lu Weiwei had not spoken before, and Gao Chuanfeng was also quite curious.
According to the past, when Gu Chen's team came to the Municipal Bureau's Technology Department, Lu Weiwei would definitely be chirping, but today it was so quiet that Gao Chuanfeng felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
But where exactly is it? Gao Chuanfeng can't tell.
As soon as Lu Weiwei opened her mouth, Gao Chuanfeng immediately understood that there was something wrong with Lu Weiwei's voice.
Lu Weiwei also waved her hands and said helplessly: "I overused my throat last night, and now my throat is a little dry. But after taking some medicine, I feel...much better than when I got up early in the morning."
"Are you overusing your voice?" Hearing what Lu Weiwei said, Gao Chuanfeng also chuckled and said: "Then you should talk less, take some medicine, have a good sleep tonight, and get up early tomorrow morning, and your voice will probably recover.
"
"Let me lend you Gao Chuan Feng Jiyan." Lu Weiwei also sighed, feeling that it was really difficult to live in a life when she couldn't speak as she pleased.
Here, Gao Chuanfeng's two assistants were already vomiting so much that they even lost their appetite for lunch.
Therefore, Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang put on protective equipment and followed Gao Chuanfeng to the testing table.
Facing such a burnt corpse, everyone can feel the unpleasant smell even if they are wearing masks.
When Gao Chuanfeng saw that everyone was wearing gloves, he just wanted to ask everyone if they were ready? However, Gu Chen stole the line.
"Is everyone ready? Let's start when you are ready," Gu Chen said.
Everyone agreed, and everyone immediately started operating.
Detecting burnt corpses is exponentially more difficult than detecting ordinary corpses.
In particular, many parts of the body will appear very fragile after being scorched by fire.
With the help of the surgical light on the examination table, Gu Chen could see the corpse at this moment more thoroughly.
The body at this moment was already charred black, but the burning degree of each part was different.
Generally speaking, if there is a fire in a house or factory, unless there is a large amount of highly flammable substances in the fire area, it is almost never completely burned out.
But today in the warehouse, Gu Chen still found some combustible materials, such as piles of snakeskin bags and some scrap wood.
Gu Chen's original idea was that since the old man lived in a warehouse, he might be afraid of the cold outside, so he would light some wood in the warehouse to keep warm.
But thinking about a warehouse with this kind of structure, it is obviously not advisable to burn a fire for heating.
First of all, the old man was secretly living in the warehouse, and Zhuang Qi had specifically told him not to be discovered by other colleagues in the railway freight yard.
So if you light a fire in the utility room to keep warm, obviously the light of the fire and the burning white smoke will quickly reveal your target.
Moreover, when lighting a fire for heating inside the warehouse, the smoke cannot be smoothly removed, which may easily lead to suffocation.
But when Gu Chen inspected the crime scene, he found none of these.
After all, if wood was burned for heating, then there would be a pile of burning remains of wood at the scene, but Gu Chen did not notice it.
All the burning wood on site was piled against the corner.
Even if it has been burned by fire, it is still in a piled state.
Therefore, after Gu Chen ruled out the possibility of short circuit caused by electrical appliances, he also ruled out the possibility of the old man lighting a fire to keep warm.
While examining the old man's burnt corpse, Gu Chen quickly shared his thoughts with everyone.
After hearing this, Officer Wang couldn't help but sigh: "If it was not caused by an electrical short circuit, and the fire was not caused by the old man igniting it himself, then how did the fire happen?"
"At the moment, it's still unclear." While inspecting the body, Gu Chen shook his head and sighed:
"I checked the scene and found that the old man was in a prostrate state. Judging from the dead state of the old man, he should have crawled towards the door in an attempt to escape from the warehouse."
"Yes." Lu Weiwei also sighed, shaking her head helplessly with a hoarse voice: "The old man may have wanted to escape from the warehouse, but the smoke was too big at that time."
"The old man may have been resting, but suddenly found himself in a sea of fire. But when the old man wanted to escape, he was still surrounded by smoke and could not distinguish between east, west, north and south."
Taking a deep breath, Lu Weiwei shook her head helplessly: "So, it is very likely that he inhaled too much smoke and died of suffocation, and was later burned alive by the fire."
Speaking of this, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but choked up.
Looking at the corpse on the reef in front of the examination table, Lu Weiwei couldn't hold it back, and tears suddenly appeared in her eyes.
After Gu Chen finished examining the whole body of the charred corpse, he looked up at Gao Chuanfeng and said, "Gao Chuanfeng, the examination of the whole body is almost done. We can test the carbon monoxide content in the blood and tissues."
"Understood." Although it was his own territory, Gao Chuanfeng still felt a little awkward being commanded by Gu Chen.
The two unsatisfactory assistants really need to learn more from Gu Chen.
Otherwise, you can completely operate independently.
Lu Weiwei looked at the charred corpse and asked in a hoarse voice, "Junior Brother Gu, the corpse has been roasted like this? Can blood samples still be extracted?"
"It's okay." Gu Chen paused his hands, turned to look at Lu Weiwei and said:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Don't underestimate this charred corpse. In fact, the charred corpse still has a lot of information to provide."
"For example, including some residues that may be left on the body, which may not come from the human body itself, may provide effective evidence for our investigation."
"Even if the body has been burned to black charcoal, with today's technology, the carbon monoxide content can still be detected from some blood and tissues."
"How is the blood extracted? Where is it extracted?" Looking at the burnt corpse in front of her, Lu Weiwei was also full of questions.
Gu Chen pointed to the heart of the charred corpse and said: "This is the first autopsy on such a charred corpse. If you are lucky, you can still extract some blood samples from the heart."
"After all, other parts have been burned, so we can only draw some blood from the heart."
Looking at a piece of black minced meat that fell on the testing table, Gu Chen then said: "Cut some burnt meat, and then you can draw blood for the family members to test DNA."
"Well……"
After hearing Gu Chen's words, Lu Weiwei no longer dared to imagine anymore.
Officer Wang, who was on the side, checked the abdomen of the corpse a few times and said helplessly: "It's all burnt and the intestines are broken."
"Let me do it." It felt like Gu Chen knew a lot and told him everything he knew. Gao Chuanfeng directly took out his extraction tools and began to extract the samples.
Gu Chen and others took a few steps back to make room for Gao Chuanfeng.
With the extraction operation successfully completed, Gao Chuanfeng also took the samples to another testing station and began to test these samples through high-precision instruments and equipment.
Everyone sat on one side to rest for a while.
It didn't take long for Gao Chuanfeng to have the results, and he couldn't help but said to everyone: "The results have come out."
"How?" Gu Chen raised his head and asked him.
"Strange." Gao Chuanfeng was also confused and said slowly: "The test results show that the carbon monoxide content of this old man seems to be lower than normal."
"How could this happen?" When Gu Chen heard this, he immediately stood up and walked to Gao Chuanfeng's side.
Gao Chuanfeng also showed the test data to Gu Chen for detailed reference, and said casually: "Logically speaking, the carbon monoxide in our test results should be higher than normal."
"That's right." Gu Chen nodded in agreement and asked curiously, "But why is this the result?"
"Junior Brother Gu, the carbon monoxide test result is higher than normal. Does it mean that the old man died before the fire?"
After all, Lu Weiwei also knew this knowledge, so she asked Gu Chen straight to the point.
Gu Chen nodded silently and explained: "Senior Sister Lu is absolutely right. Now we also have methods to detect the carbon monoxide content in blood and tissues."
"But if the carbon monoxide content is very high, it means that the victim has inhaled carbon monoxide, which is a by-product of burning objects, and we can know that the victim was still alive when he was burned by the fire."
After a pause, Gu Chen also said thoughtfully: "At least...it means that the victim survived for a while."
"But if someone died before the fire, the carbon monoxide content detected would not be higher than normal."
Looking back at the charred corpse on the examination table, Gu Chen suddenly came over and said: "To determine whether the deceased still showed signs of life when he was burned by the fire, the key is to find evidence that the victim was still breathing. Fortunately, we
There is now this sophisticated equipment that can detect it."
"That's right." When Officer Wang heard this, he couldn't help but said: "But at the beginning of the last century, there was no such measurement method."
"Generally speaking, to get this result, the medical examiner will look for soot and burn marks in the lungs, bronchi, and throat."
After a pause, Officer Wang added: "However, if there are burns and soot in these parts, it means that the victim was still breathing when he was burned by the fire."
"If you were burned by fire after death, then these signs may not be found at all."
"That's right." Hearing this, Gao Chuanfeng agreed and said, "That's why I didn't find these things when I checked the charred corpse just now."
"Coupled with the carbon monoxide content test, it can basically be concluded that there is a high probability that the deceased was burned to death by the fire after death."
"Then the problem seems a bit complicated." After hearing what everyone said, Lu Weiwei suddenly felt that things seemed to be far from that simple.
Gu Chen, on the other hand, walked back and forth twice before frowning and saying, "If the victim did not lose consciousness but was caught in the fire, maybe he would leave evidence that he tried to escape."
Looking up at the crowd, Gu Chen added, "It's like the scratches on the door panel or the fragments in the palm of your hand."
"Maybe he scratched off a few nails while trying to escape. These are theoretically possible."
"And we can determine that the victim still had signs of life during the fire by finding soot in the lungs, burn marks, and nail damage."
"But I had considered these things before at the scene, but... I couldn't find any of them at the scene, so I can only explain that maybe he died before the fire."
"That's right." After hearing Gu Chen's explanation, Gao Chuanfeng checked the burnt corpse again and confirmed Gu Chen's words, and couldn't help but sigh:
"Gu Chen, your guess is correct. I can now conclude that this charred corpse was actually dead before it was charred. This can be verified."
"That's strange." After hearing Gao Chuanfeng's words, Lu Weiwei said with a hoarse voice and angrily:
"But if the old man died before being burned to death, did he die of natural causes? Or was he murdered?"
"If it's the latter, then it's homicide, and then this fire..."
"Then the fire was probably set deliberately by the murderer in order to destroy the corpses and eliminate traces." Officer Wang also added.
After the words fell, the scene suddenly fell silent for a few seconds.
Everyone looked at each other, and it seemed that at this moment, everyone had reached a consensus.
"Damn it, this old man might have been murdered, and the murderer deliberately set a fire to cover up all this." Gu Chen frowned, feeling that the whole incident was developing in an uncontrollable direction.
At this moment, He Junchao in the office also called.
Gu Chen took off his gloves, clicked on the speakerphone and said, "Senior Brother He, how is the situation you were asked to investigate going on?"
"According to your request, I searched the surveillance near the railway overpass yesterday and intercepted a frontal photo of this homeless old man. After a big data investigation, I can basically determine the identity of this old man."
"Found it?" After hearing the results from He Junchao, Officer Wang was also overjoyed and said:
"It would be much easier to find out who this homeless old man is. At least we can follow the clues and find out the connections around this old man to see who wants to harm him."
After a pause, Officer Wang quickly asked: "Well, He Junchao, what is this man's name? What did he do before?"
"This person's name is..."
He Junchao, who answered the call, paused for two seconds before saying: "This man's name is... Zhou Wencai, a native of Jiangnan City."
"And, based on my extended information search, there were some surprising discoveries."
"He Junchao, please stop pretending and speak quickly." Lu Weiwei's voice was recovering and she couldn't help but urge her.
He Junchao on the other end of the phone laughed dryly and said slowly: "Don't worry, this man was very famous a few years ago. He is the chairman of the board."
"Director... Chairman? Is this the chairman?" Officer Wang heard He Junchao's words and frowned, and quickly asked:
"Hey, He Junchao, have you made any serious inquiries? How could this homeless old man be the chairman? Are you mistaken?"
"I can't be mistaken. Although this man is slovenly now, his appearance is still very recognizable. His name is Zhou Wencai, and he was previously the chairman of the 'Wencai Caixia Company'."
"Moreover, this person has always been philanthropic and has done many charity activities. He is a great philanthropist. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Later, due to strategic investment mistakes, the company went bankrupt."
"Later on, it slowly faded out of public view, and few people paid attention to it anymore."
Afraid that everyone would not believe it, He Junchao reminded again: "You can search for Zhou Wencai in Jiangnan City, or search for 'Wencai Xia Co., Ltd.' and you can find this person."
"And you can find photos and videos of this person doing charity work a few years ago."
Listening to He Junchao's various explanations, Gu Chen didn't care too much and immediately started searching on his mobile phone and found some reports about Zhou Wencai.
"Found it." Gu Chen flashed his phone in front of everyone: "Brother He is right. This Zhou Wencai is indeed a business owner. He has always been loyal to charity work."
"Is it true?" Lu Weiwei lowered her head and looked at it, and was immediately shocked and said: "This company is quite large. It was very prosperous a few years ago, but why is it like this now?"
After seeing some news reports about Zhou Wencai, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but sigh, how could such a good person end up like this?
Gu Chen also frowned and said thoughtfully: "What has this Zhou Wencai experienced? Why did he change from the chairman of a company to the homeless old man he is now?"
"That's not bad." Officer Wang took a deep breath and said, "A big company like this is usually the result of a lifetime of hard work by these people."
"It can be said that this kind of company is also the epitome of the lifelong struggle of these founders."
"But think about it, the business empire that you have worked hard to build for many years suddenly collapsed overnight."
"This kind of gap must not be tolerated by ordinary people, right? Especially when people are in their last years and want to make a comeback but it is no longer possible. Generally, those with poor psychological endurance may just find a rooftop and jump off."
"But this Zhou Wencai is pretty good. At least he is still alive. Maybe... he was just stimulated and had some mental problems."
"But why didn't his family look for him?" Gu Chen also questioned.
After all, Zhou Wencai is a native of Jiangnan City, and his company is also in Jiangnan City.
Logically speaking, Zhou Wencai's family should also live in Jiangnan City, but why didn't anyone come to see him?
Let such an old man live on the street in such a miserable condition and have to rely on some charity to survive.
Such a sense of super contrast made Gu Chen unable to believe that all of this actually existed?
Officer Wang clicked his tongue twice and said with a faint smile: "Maybe it's Zhou Wencai who has been hiding from his family?"
"We were in the office building of the railway freight yard just now. Didn't that silly girl named... Zhuang Qi also tell us about it?"
"She said she wanted to help Zhou Wencai find his family and send him home. She also wanted to contact our police for help."
"Eh? I think I've said that before." Lu Weiwei reacted immediately after hearing this.
Yes, Zhuang Qi had already explained this situation to everyone in the monitoring room of the office building of the railway freight yard.
"So." Officer Wang also snapped his fingers and said quickly without vomiting:
"So in my opinion, this Zhou Wencai is hiding from his family and is reluctant to go home."
"Otherwise Zhuang Qi tried to help him go home several times, so why didn't he go home?"
"Also, the person in charge, Han Xu, has always said that this old man is a mentally ill guy, but what did Zhuang Qi say?"
"Zhuang Qi said that there is nothing wrong with this old man's head, and he seems to be very smart." Lu Weiwei added.
Officer Wang nodded silently: "Isn't this right? This Zhou Wencai may have been unable to face his family due to the pressure of bankruptcy, so he chose to run away from home alone."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "As for why his family didn't go looking for her? Maybe, his family knew where he was? And maybe they had also secretly observed him."
After a pause, Officer Wang raised his head and asked Gu Chen: "Gu Chen, does what I said make sense?"
"Yes." Gu Chen nodded silently and echoed: "Senior Brother Wang said that it is very possible that Zhou Wencai and his family may not know where he is? Or they may know."
"If he didn't come to look for Zhou Wencai, it means Zhou Wencai didn't tell his family where he was going? What he was doing now? Maybe he didn't disclose this to his family."
"And his family may have misunderstood that he just wanted to go for a walk outside to relax or something."
After thinking about it, Gu Chen added: "In my opinion, the most important thing at the moment is to contact Zhou Wencai's family as soon as possible, and then we can follow the clues from his family to see if we can find some useful clues?"
"I agree with Junior Brother Gu." Lu Weiwei also nodded silently, and then said to the phone: "He Junchao, can you invite Zhou Wencai's family to our police station?"
"Well... I'll give it a try. If I get an appointment, I'll let you know."
"That's okay."
After a brief communication on the phone, the two parties hung up the phone.
At this moment, everyone looked at each other and seemed to feel that things were getting more and more strange.
First of all, the identity of the old man, Zhou Wencai, is the chairman of a company and a charity figure. He often does charity activities in Jiangnan City and gives back to the society.
Unfortunately, Zhou Wencai's "Wencai Xia Co., Ltd." went bankrupt a few years ago due to some debt and investment problems.
From then on, Zhou Wencai disappeared.
But when Zhou Wencai was discovered again, he was already buried in a sea of fire, which made people feel sad.
But what is even more incredible is that this Zhou Wencai was devoured by fire after he died.
Therefore, everyone has always believed that the fire was indeed strange. It seemed that someone murdered Zhou Wencai and then set fire to the entire warehouse to destroy the body and eliminate traces.
But now, the question of whether the murderer exists and who the murderer is is suddenly on the table.
Therefore, everyone feels that only by finding Zhou Wencai's family can we learn more about Zhou Wencai before and after his bankruptcy.
Everyone here was still doing the final inspection on Zhou Wencai's burnt body, when He Junchao called again.
Gu Chen clicked on the speaker phone again...
"Gu Chen, Zhou Wencai's family members have been contacted. They are his lover and daughter. I have made an appointment with them at a specific time. They are currently out of town, but not far away. They will all rush back today."
"What time will you come over specifically?" Gu Chen asked.
"Around 7:30 p.m., is that okay?" He Junchao said on the phone.
Gu Chen said humbly, "Then we'll make an appointment until 7:30 in the evening. We're almost done here, so we'll be back soon."
The two communicated with each other and hung up the phone.
