Because Gu Chen had already found obvious strangulation marks on the neck of the deceased.
And judging from the strangulation marks, it can be roughly judged that the deceased was wrapped from the back with a small rope.
But Gu Chen also knew very well that this seemed to be the first scene, but it might not be the first scene.
After handling many cases, Gu Chen became more and more convinced that seeing is not necessarily believing.
What's more, Xia Bin is the only one under the Furong Bridge.
What if Xia Bin is a thief and wants to catch the thief? This kind of thing is not impossible.
Lu Weiwei on the side searched the area before turning back and saying, "Junior Brother Gu, there are no new footprints nearby."
"I know." Gu Chen also understood that the environment at the scene was different from what he had imagined before.
Lu Weiwei frowned slightly, but also reminded: "Do you think this murderer is related to Xia Bin?"
"If the deceased had been abandoned among the water plants by the river as a cover from the beginning, it is unlikely that he would have drifted with the current."
"After all, the river here flows very slowly, and there are a lot of aquatic plants, so it will be difficult to wash away the body."
"and……"
Glancing at Xia Bin who was still next to the body, Lu Weiwei also reminded:
"Moreover, in the entire scene, only Xia Bin's footprints were particularly clear. In addition, it is difficult to find new footprints."
"So I think it's difficult to rule out Xia Bin's suspicion."
"That's right." Of course Gu Chen also knew Xia Bin's suspicion, but now Gu Chen was thinking about the specific identity of the corpse.
If the specific identity of the corpse and the connection with Xia Bin cannot be grasped as soon as possible, it will be difficult to be convincing.
Looking back at the unknown corpse, Gu Chen also expressed his opinion: "The scars on the neck of this deceased are very obvious. It was obvious that he was strangled from behind, and it is difficult to resist."
"Wait for Gao Chuanfeng and others from the Technical Section of the Municipal Bureau to come over and ask Gao Chuanfeng to help do a diatom test on the corpse. Then compare the aquatic plant residue on the corpse with the surrounding aquatic plant samples."
"If possible, let Senior Brother He confirm the identity of the deceased as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, leave this to He Junchao. I'm sure he will get the results soon." Lu Weiwei still believes in He Junchao's ability to work.
The investigation at the scene continued. Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei continued to search along the surrounding riverbanks, but they never found any useful clues.
On the other side, Gao Chuanfeng's team from the Municipal Bureau's Technical Section also inspected the body, loaded it into a car with a body bag, and took it directly back to the Municipal Bureau's Technical Section.
As Xia Bin was a witness and reporter, after Gu Chen left Xia Bin's detailed information, he also asked Xia Bin to keep his phone on 24 hours a day and not to leave Jiangnan City at will, so he asked Xia Bin to go back first.
Sitting back in the police car, Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha suddenly fell into a state of silence.
Everyone is waiting for He Junchao's call.
About 5 minutes later, He Junchao's call came late. Without saying anything, Gu Chen directly opened the answer button and asked: "Brother He, have you found the information about the deceased?"
"I found out that the deceased's name is Liu Yi, and he was a resident singer in a bar. The name of that bar is somewhat related to the situation you asked me to investigate Zhou Min before."
"Dynasty Bar?" Gu Chen quickly discovered the clues based on the clues provided by He Junchao.
"That's right, that place is called the Dynasty Bar, and based on the surveillance video of the deceased, he left the bar very late last night, probably around 1 a.m."
"Later, he followed a group of men and women and stayed on the open-air seats in the business district for a long time, seeming to be chatting with others."
"How many people were there at that time?" After listening to He Junchao's introduction, Gu Chen quickly asked.
"Probably, five or six people, right? But looking at the surveillance, these people all know each other, and they just get together to laugh."
"Later, the group of people gradually dispersed. This man named Liu also rode his motorcycle from the business district to Furong Bridge."
"Later, Liu lost the surveillance video on a small road near Furong Bridge, which was a surveillance blind spot. Later, I didn't know the situation clearly."
"Riding a motorcycle?" After hearing this explanation, Gu Chen immediately asked He Junchao: "What does that motorcycle look like? Send me the photo."
"No problem, I will send you the surveillance screenshot right away." He Junchao said.
Gu Chen added: "In addition, I will also send you the basic information of Xia Bin, the person who called the police. You can help me investigate Xia Bin's situation immediately."
"After all, where the body was found, there were only Xia Bin's footprints."
"I understand, then you can send it over." He Junchao said.
After the two people communicate on the phone, they send each other the information they need.
Soon, Gu Chen received the surveillance screenshot from He Junchao.
Lu Weiwei immediately came to Gu Chen's side, stared blankly, and said: "Black motorcycle, this motorcycle is quite cool, Black Warrior style."
"This is the motorcycle of the deceased Liu, and Brother He told me that Liu rode his motorcycle near Furong Bridge last night."
"After that, we entered a monitoring blind spot, and later, we lost contact."
"I think this period of time also coincides with the time when the murderer committed the crime."
"Moreover, the time when Liu entered the surveillance blind spot was probably around two o'clock in the morning."
"As for the time of Liu's death, I roughly calculated that it was around three o'clock in the morning."
"In other words, this Liu stayed at a certain location for an hour and even communicated with the murderer?" Officer Wang also gave a general opinion based on Gu Chen's speculation.
Gu Chen nodded silently and echoed:
"Yes, the deceased Liu Yi may have known the murderer, and the two of them may have communicated with each other for an hour."
"After that, the murderer took advantage of Liu's unpreparedness, took out the rope prepared in advance, and strangled Liu to death from behind."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Later, Liu Yi's body was thrown into the nearby water and grassland."
"Oh, if that's the case, Liu Yi came out of the Dynasty Bar at night and went to such a remote suburb. What did he want to do? Did he want to talk to someone about something?" Lu Weiwei also felt that things seemed to be getting more and more strange.
Gu Chen said calmly: "Go to the Dynasty Bar and ask around. Maybe you will know the whole story."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's set off quickly." Yuan Shasha, who was sitting behind the car, said impatiently.
…
…
When Gu Chen started the car, he left the search for the motorcycle to the nearby patrol police and drove to the Dynasty Bar.
At the moment, the front door of Dynasty Bar is deserted.
Mainly because of the operating hours of Dynasty Bar, mainly from afternoon to late night.
In the early morning, it is usually closed.
But even so, the door to Dynasty Bar is open.
After Gu Chen parked the car, he took Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha directly into the entrance corridor of the Dynasty Bar.
Walking along the luxuriously decorated corridor to the front desk, a young woman was sitting there playing with her mobile phone.
Seeing four police officers coming forward, the young woman was immediately stunned and asked weakly: "Comrade police, what are you doing for me?"
"Do you know this person?" Gu Chen showed Liu's personal information photo in front of the young woman and asked.
The woman frowned and moved her body forward. After a moment, she nodded and confirmed:
"I know him. He is our resident singer here. His name is Liu Yi."
"So, do you know where Liu went after get off work last night?" Seeing that the woman knew Liu, Lu Weiwei hurriedly asked.
The young woman shook her head: "I don't know that. Where are they going? That's their freedom."
After thinking about it, the young woman also felt that something was wrong, so she asked Gu Chen again: "Comrade police, is Liu Yi going out to cause trouble again?"
"Why did you say that?" Officer Wang was also very curious when he heard this.
The young woman smiled and said: "Because this Liu Yi has a bad temper and will easily fight with others if he disagrees."
"For example, when he was singing in a bar before, there was a drunk customer in the audience who directly said that his singing was mediocre and not good to listen to. Then Liu Yi got angry on the spot and retorted directly."
"This customer really felt that he was losing face in front of his friends, so he cursed a few times. As a result, Liu put down his guitar, jumped off the stage, and started beating the customer on the spot."
"Had it not been for the bar security and the customer's friend to break up the fight, both of them would have ended up in trouble."
"What happened next?" After hearing this, Gu Chen suddenly became interested.
The young woman smiled and said: "Then? Later, no one wanted to make the matter a big deal, so the matter was over."
"And I don't know how many times this kind of thing has happened. Anyway, Lewis has a bad temper."
"So over time, many of the customers who came here to drink knew Liu Yi's temper, so they did not dare to provoke him."
"Do you know these people?" Seeing that the young woman spoke eloquently, Lu Weiwei immediately took out her mobile phone, showed the screenshot sent by He Junchao in front of the young woman and said:
"These are a few people chatting late at night in the outdoor seating area outside your Dynasty Bar last night."
In fact, the photo Lu Weiwei showed to the young woman was where Liu left the bar after get off work last night and chatted with a few people around him.
The young woman obviously knew a few of them, so she immediately nodded and confirmed, "Yes, these people are also regulars at our bar."
"Usually after coming out of the bar, they will sit outside in the open air. They often sit outside until late at night, waiting until they are almost sober, and then they go home."
Seeing that the young woman knew a few people, Yuan Shasha quickly asked: "Can you help us find these people?"
"This..." The young woman hesitated, but then thought of something again? She quickly said:
"Oh, by the way, one of them is a staff member of our Dynasty Bar. He is in the store. Please wait for me and I will call him."
After the words fell, the young woman turned around and left.
Not long after, I saw a young woman leading a confused young man out of the Dynasty Bar.
It can be seen that the young man seems to have not sobered up yet, and the dark circles under his eyes are particularly obvious due to lack of sleep.
Seeing Gu Chen and others, the young man hesitated for a moment and asked the young woman beside him softly: "Are they the only ones looking for me?"
"Yes, didn't you sit outside for a long time last night? Did the resident singer Liu sit next to you?" the young woman also reminded quickly.
The young man nodded slightly: "Yes."
"Come and sit." Seeing the young man standing there chattering incessantly, Lu Weiwei also pointed to the seat in front of her and said.
The young man came forward obediently and sat opposite Gu Chen.
Gu Chen asked him in a routine manner: "What's your name?"
"My name is Zhao Lei, and everyone likes to call me Lei Zi." said the young man named Lei Zi.
"Then what are you doing in this bar?" Officer Wang said.
"Just a waiter, selling drinks to customers," Zhao Lei said truthfully.
In fact, everyone can tell from Zhao Lei's appearance that he is not very old, probably around 20, and his face is full of childishness.
After Gu Chen adjusted the angle of the law enforcement recorder, he continued to ask:
"Late last night, you and several other people were sitting on the outdoor seats outside. Lewis was also beside you, right?"
"Yes." Zhao Lei nodded silently and admitted proactively: "After he gets off work, he likes to sit outside for a while, calm down from work, and then ride his bike home. This is usually the case."
"So what did you mainly talk about last night?" Gu Chen asked again.
Zhao Lei frowned and said calmly: "Let's talk about women."
"Can you be more specific?" Officer Wang saw this and also reminded him.
Zhao Lei said with some embarrassment: "Let's talk about his new girlfriend. She is said to be the best, gentle and nice to talk to."
"Moreover, we have met his girlfriend. She is indeed pretty and she often comes to our Dynasty Bar."
"What's his girlfriend's name?" Gu Chen continued to ask while recording.
Zhao Lei scratched his cheek and recalled: "His girlfriend has been to the bar several times, but I rarely say hello to her. I only know that she is Liu Yi's new girlfriend."
"As for the name? I just remember that someone called her Xiao Min or something?"
"Zhou Min?" Gu Chen said casually based on his previous understanding of Zhou Min and the fact that Zhou Min had indeed appeared frequently in the Dynasty Bar in recent days.
However, Zhao Lei in front of him was stunned and said in disbelief: "Yes, it seems his name is Zhou Min? By the way, comrade police, do you know this person?"
"I don't know." Gu Chen shook his head, feeling sad for Xu Tiankai.
She was obviously Xu Tiankai's girlfriend, but now that Xu Tiankai was helping her pay off her debts, Zhou Min suddenly disappeared.
But what shocked Gu Chen the most was, when did Zhou Min become Liu Yi's girlfriend again?
Recalling that Zhou Min had been chased by creditors before and was beaten into disgrace, Xu Tiankai finally relented and agreed to help her pay off the debt.
But now, Zhou Min is with Liu Yi again.
It was hard for Gu Chen not to think about it, thinking that this Zhou Min would not use the same tricks used on Xu Tiankai on Liu Yi again, right?
