189, Lu Weiwei's conjecture [seeking monthly ticket]
Forensic doctor Liu and his assistant brought their own equipment and walked up to Gu Chen and Officer Wang.
He originally had a social event in the evening and planned to go to the appointment after get off work. However, he was called here by Gu Chen. The dinner party in the evening was ruined. However, Forensic Doctor Liu didn't mind. Work was also a kind of enjoyment for him, especially for himself. My personal relationship with Gu Chen is pretty good.
"I'm sorry, Forensic Doctor Liu. I originally knew that you were about to get off work, but something unexpected happened, so I had to call you to help." Gu Chen stepped forward and apologized to Forensic Doctor Liu.
Forensic Doctor Liu waved his hand: "This is also my responsibility. Wherever there is a need, I will be there. Compared to frontline police officers like you, our job is quite comfortable."
Some of the people around looked at the few people in confusion, feeling that the medical examiner said that they felt comfortable. Could it be the desire and excitement to dissect the corpse?
"Where is the deceased?" Forensic Doctor Liu looked around and asked.
"On the mountain, we just arrived and haven't had time to go up yet," Officer Wang said.
"Okay, let's go together."
Led by local people, a few people walked towards the back hill of the stray dog rescue center.
Lu Weiwei also helped Xu Lu, who was lying on the ground, and followed behind.
Except for a few guides, everyone was stopped outside by Gu Chen with a cordon.
Several little boys tried to sneak through the cordon and follow the mountain, but their parents beat them back with broken branches.
There was a sudden commotion at the foot of the mountain...
The old man coughed twice, pointed to a dead tree on the mountain path and said, "The deceased is here."
Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei were the first to step forward to check the situation...
A middle-aged man was trapped on a dead tree. He was dead, his mouth was blocked, and his neck was tied three times with ropes.
With the help of Gu Chen, forensic doctor Liu untied the man and, with the assistance of his assistant, examined the condition of the deceased at the scene.
"The lips of the deceased were bruised, and the face was purple." After checking various organs of the body with both hands, Forensic Doctor Liu added: "Every organ is congested, and the skin color is red. The eyes are no exception, and there are a lot of blood stains on the conjunctiva."
"Did he die of suffocation?" Gu Chen made his own judgment based on the preliminary examination by forensic doctor Liu.
Forensic doctor Liu did not rush to reply, but after checking again and again, he took off his gloves, took off the right ear loop of the mask, and said: "The time of death of the deceased should be between three and four o'clock in the afternoon. The cause of death...preliminary determination
He died of suffocation, but he still needs to be taken to the hospital for further detailed examination."
After being reminded, Gu Chen quickly asked Xu Lu: "Do you know the identity of the deceased?"
"I don't know, but I have an impression." Xu Lu scratched her head and said at a loss: "During lunch today, there was a small truck parked near the door, and this person seems to be the truck driver."
"Truck driver?" Lu Weiwei couldn't help but was stunned for a moment, recalling that Bai Xiaolan had come to the kitchen at noon and said that there was a small truck parked at the door, and that Aunt Chen had lost control of the cooking, and a lot of shredded green pepper and pork fell on the ground.
Thinking about it this way, the driver should have been outside the door of the rescue station at that time.
But why did he go to the back mountain? Why did he die there?
All kinds of questions made Lu Weiwei temporarily confused...
"This driver should be around the rescue station at noon." Lu Weiwei said.
"Are you sure?" Officer Wang on the side frowned and asked awkwardly.
At this time, forensic doctor Liu stood up and returned to everyone, and said quickly: "If there are no other circumstances, I would like to take the deceased back for further examination, and please contact the family of the deceased as soon as possible."
"Yes." Officer Wang nodded slightly.
At present, the identity of the deceased cannot be determined, but since forensic doctor Liu is willing to take him for further examination, it is naturally the best.
Xu Lu stood aside, listening to the conversation, and said quickly: "Why hasn't Aunt Chen come back yet? It's time for me to go back from get off work. I don't want to stay here anymore. It's too scary."
Gu Chen asked: "Has anyone else been here besides you since we left in the afternoon?"
Xu Lu scratched her head and recalled: "This place is quite remote, and it's at the end of the road. There are almost no people here, and I haven't seen anyone else come here."
"That means you were the only one staying at the stray dog rescue center throughout the afternoon, and you found the deceased when you went up the mountain, right?" Officer Wang couldn't help but ask.
Xu Lu complained: "Does Officer Wang doubt me?"
Officer Wang turned around and stared at Xu Lu, saying: "This is not suspicion, this is normal procedure, because you are the first witness to find the deceased at the scene. If no one else has been here, we can only let you go back."
Do a survey with us.”
"Why... why are you suspicious of me? I'm just here to do volunteer work, I... I really don't know what's going on, really." Xu Lu was a little anxious now, with fear in her eyes.
"Aunt Xu, don't worry, I'm just going back to assist in the investigation." Gu Chen quickly comforted her.
Xu Lu frowned and resisted very much.
Officer Wang is not targeting Xu Lu, but for now, she is both a witness and the first suspect.
Judging from the estimation of the time of death of the deceased, no one else had been here during this period. It was precisely during this period that the deceased died on the back mountain, but was discovered by Xu Lu by chance.
Although we all got to know each other briefly this morning, knowing each other does not mean that we can get rid of suspicion.
"It's better to come with us and assist in the investigation." Officer Wang said decisively and glanced at Lu Weiwei beside him.
Lu Weiwei understood in an instant. She held Xu Lu's side and said, "Aunt Xu, I'll help you over. Let's do a simple investigation first."
"Gu Chen, put away all the crime tools and ask more local people to see who has been here in the afternoon. If there are any, confirm the identity information immediately."
"No problem." Gu Chen agreed readily.
Not long after, forensic doctor Liu inspected the scene and brought the deceased back to the technical department in a body bag for further examination.
Gu Chen began to conduct a detailed investigation of the surrounding people...
Regardless of whether they were adults or children, Gu Chen didn't let anyone go. However, after asking nearly 30 people, he found nothing.
In the end, I could only follow Officer Wang and return to Furong Police Station.
Entering the office of Group 3, Officer Wang quickly found his own wolfberry tea and drank several large gulps.
"How are the records of the crime tools?" Officer Wang came to Gu Chen's seat and asked.
"It was handed over to forensic doctor Liu for fingerprint identification on the rope," Gu Chen said.
"Did Xu Lu ask anything?" Officer Wang turned on the questioning mode and continued to question Gu Chen.
Gu Chen was stunned, looked at Lu Weiwei next to him and said, "Senior Sister Lu and I have also inquired just now, but there is no valuable information."
"For now, Xu Lu seems to be the most suspect, but if we can't find other favorable clues, it will be really difficult for us. After all, how did the driver get up the mountain? How did he get tied to the tree?
We can't explain it yet." Lu Weiwei shrugged, also looking helpless.
"It seems we can only look at the progress of Forensic Doctor Liu. I hope they can find relevant fingerprints." Although Officer Wang cannot find many useful clues in his current investigation, he still places his hope on Forensic Doctor Liu.
Gu Chen looked at Officer Wang's anxious look and said: "We have investigated Xu Lu's information and found that she has not had any trouble with anyone recently. She is just an ordinary steel factory worker and has no bad records, especially
She is also very caring, not only a volunteer for the Stray Animal Rescue Association, but also a volunteer for several other associations."
"This can only be used as a reference. Bad guys don't write the word 'bad guy' on their heads. Don't be fooled by appearances." Officer Wang interrupted Gu Chen instantly.
Lu Weiwei was curious and put forward an opinion: "Hey, do you think, besides Xu Lu, who else would go to the back mountain?"
"How do I know this?" Officer Wang shook his head: "Who would run to the back mountain if nothing happens? After eating enough to hold on?"
"I do know one." Gu Chen held his chin and looked at Officer Wang with raised eyes: "It's Aunt Chen at noon. She went to collect things."
"Impossible." Officer Wang directly rejected Gu Chen's conjecture: "Aunt Chen went to the hospital in the city with us in the same car, and she only went to the mountain for less than half an hour. With her lame condition, half
It’s impossible to do it in hours.”
"Yes, and she didn't commit the crime at all. The time of death of the deceased was between three and four o'clock. Where was Aunt Chen during this time? In our police car, we were taking her to the hospital." Lu Weiwei also retorted.
Gu Chen’s opinion.
"I'm just guessing who has been to the mountain. After all, the deceased driver is also very suspicious, and his identity is still being confirmed."
Gu Chen knew that his idea was unrealistic, but he always felt that he was missing a key clue?
Witness: Xu Lu.
Death: Unknown.
Cause of death: suffocation.
Apart from these conditions, there are very few factors that can be used as clues.
Several police officers from the third group who had finished dinner happened to come over to work the night shift. Seeing that Gu Chen and others were still discussing the problem, they said hello and left.
In the evening, Xu Lu's family members came to see the situation after learning that Xu Lu had been taken to Furong Police Station.
Officer Wang could only ask Xu Lu to go back temporarily. If there were any special circumstances, she must be on call.
After sending Xu Lu away, the group fell into anxiety again. They casually went to the canteen, bought some snacks for dinner, and continued the meeting and discussion.
"It is very difficult to investigate this kind of outdoor death incident, which is far beyond ordinary cases." Officer Wang looked at Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei and murmured to himself.
Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei listened very carefully...
Everyone hopes to find clues quickly, so Officer Wang keeps an eye on Gu Chen.
At certain times, Gu Chen's observation skills are indeed quite powerful. Officer Wang also likes this efficiency in handling cases, especially he likes to handle cases without staying overnight.
But sometimes conditions are limited, especially outdoors, and many clues may be easily destroyed, making it extremely difficult to investigate.
No matter how experienced Dr. Liu is, after determining the cause and time of death, he still needs to conduct further investigation and research before he can make an accurate conclusion.
Not to mention that there is only one side of the story from the witness Xu Lu, and no corresponding clues can be obtained from Xu Lu.
At this time, Forensic Doctor Liu's phone call came in. Gu Chen quickly answered the call, clicked the speakerphone, and put it on his desk.
"Forensic Doctor Liu, how is the situation?"
"The deceased did die of suffocation, and the time of death was probably between 3:30 and 4:00."
Forensic doctor Liu shortened the previous time of death again.
"Were there any suspicious fingerprints found on the crime tools?" Gu Chen continued to ask.
Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei also came over and pricked up their ears.
"No!" Forensic Doctor Liu answered firmly: "This is also one of the things that puzzles me. The murderer didn't leave any traces on the rope. This shows that the murderer is very cunning and may be a difficult guy to deal with."
"Thank you, Forensic Doctor Liu. If you have any other latest clues, please contact us in time."
"Yes, I have to get off work. My wife is urging me to go home and my daughter is urging me to go home." Forensic Doctor Liu also smiled.
After several people exchanged greetings with Forensic Doctor Liu, Gu Chen hung up the phone.
Officer Wang stood up consciously, stretched and said, "It seems like another clueless case."
He walked while talking. After all, the information about the deceased still had to wait for responses from colleagues in other departments.
"Old Wang, where are you going?" Lu Weiwei asked.
"Toilet, do you want to come together?" Officer Wang said.
"You should leave quickly." Lu Weiwei waved goodbye, then moved the stool, sat next to Gu Chen, and said: "Junior brother Gu, I want to tell you about a situation so that we can discuss it."
Gu Chen was very curious and asked: "Senior Sister Lu, has she discovered anything new?"
"It doesn't count, but it still feels weird." Lu Weiwei kept the question in her heart, and said, "It was at noon that Bai Xiaolan saw the truck outside the door, and the driver, who is now the deceased, informed him of the situation.
After feeding Aunt Chen who was cooking, Aunt Chen seemed to be frightened. She lost her grip and almost dropped the iron pot to the ground, and the vegetable leaves in the pot fell all over the floor."
Gu Chen's eyes widened: "Are you telling the truth?"
"Is there still a lie?" Lu Weiwei affirmed: "Bai Xiaolan can't see anything. After all, she is a news novice and only knows news interviews. But after all, I have been exposed to many cases. The moment Aunt Chen's expression changed
, obviously a little panicked."
"Then if that's the case, it's a bit interesting." Gu Chen leaned back on his seat with a smile and thought for a moment: "Then when we were having dinner, Aunt Chen went to the back mountain alone, which made us suspicious, but she
She came back within half an hour, and at her speed, it was enough for a round trip."
"But she is very strong." Lu Weiwei raised her own doubts and said: "Women with a figure like Aunt Chen are indeed rare. I feel like she must have practiced sports before, right?"
"After all, someone with such a figure should be very advantageous against the deceased, and I have an intuition that Aunt Chen is obviously serious about the deceased."
"Senior Sister Lu, you were at the scene earlier, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Gu Chen was quite surprised when he got this clue.
Lu Weiwei said "Oh", waved her hands and said: "I was at the scene and reminded that the deceased might have appeared around at noon. Lao Wang also responded, but at that time the forensic doctor Liu's judgment came out.
Everyone’s energy was attracted again.”
After thinking about it, Lu Weiwei added: "And I wasn't sure enough at the time. I just made a temporary guess. But now I feel more and more why Aunt Chen felt panicked at that time. Aunt Chen, who has very strong hands, can actually
Don't you think it's suspicious that you threw the iron pot on the stove with your hand?"
In Lu Weiwei's opinion, there was something wrong with Aunt Chen's eyes at that time, but there was no murder case at that time, so Lu Weiwei didn't pay much attention to it.
But now that I think about it, I always feel like I was déjà vu, and that’s why Lu Weiwei told Gu Chen her opinion, because Gu Chen is the best at all kinds of reasoning.
"The time of death was between 3:30 and 4 o'clock in the afternoon. We had just returned to the police station at this time, but it is not necessarily that the deceased was strangled to death by the murderer at that time." The more Gu Chen thought about it, the more something was wrong, and he suddenly said: "Senior Sister Lu,
We have to find Forensic Doctor Liu quickly."
"But isn't he getting off work?" Lu Weiwei said.
"I can't care about so much anymore, let's go, we have to go right away."
"Okay!" Lu Weiwei could be called Gu Chen's little follower, and she readily agreed.
The two of them took their things and set off immediately...
After using the restroom, Officer Wang returned to the empty office. He couldn't help but take a step back, looked at the empty corridor, then looked back at the equally empty office, and said blankly: "Where are the people?"
On the other side, Gu Chen was driving and Lu Weiwei was on the phone. After a while of communication, Lu Weiwei said to Gu Chen: "Forensic Doctor Liu has gone home, but the information and files on our case, as well as the crime tools, are all in the database.
.”
"Then can we go in?" Gu Chen asked.
"It should be okay. Forensic Doctor Liu has already called the old comrades on the night shift and asked them not to lock the door to his office. He also said hello to them. We can just go to his office directly," Lu Weiwei said.
Gu Chen was very satisfied and drove to the Municipal Bureau compound.
Then, the two of them ran towards the technical department and quickly opened the door of Forensic Doctor Liu's office.
Lu Weiwei turned on the light and suddenly the office was filled with light.
"Here." Gu Chen knew forensic doctor Liu's habit of putting things. He liked to put the latest case information on the left of the wooden cabinet, and the older cases on the right.
"Open it quickly and take a look." Lu Weiwei said.
After Gu Chen took out the information, he first found forensic doctor Liu's data records of the crime tools.
"A strong cowhide rope, no fingerprints, 7.5 meters long." Gu Chen muttered silently, and then took out the storage basket where the crime tools were stored under the wooden cabinet, and then took out the rope he carried with him
Take out the measuring tape.
"Gu... Junior Brother Gu, what are you doing?" Lu Weiwei looked at Gu Chen's shining eyes and asked curiously.
"You'll know later." Gu Chen didn't tell the truth directly, but said with a cold face: "Maybe your guess is right, but first I have to verify your guess."
