Gu Chen didn't find much at the old lady's house before, so he couldn't use his master's level of logical reasoning to piece together the known clues.
But now the appearance of an "ancient book" by Forensic Liu seems to have greatly alleviated my anxiety in this regard.
A blank piece of paper.
A small drill.
A "Beginner's Course in Braille".
Doubts that had no clue at first suddenly came together.
Gu Chen always races against time when handling cases, and it can be said that efficiency is the priority.
This kind of pieced together clues also made Lu Weiwei on the side look forward to it.
"It takes a lot of time just to study a "Primary Tutorial on Braille", and the small holes left on the paper by the old lady look really disturbing."
Lu Weiwei can’t understand it anyway…
It feels like these small holes in the paper are a bit like reading from heaven.
But to Gu Chen, this is just a book, and it still doesn't pose much difficulty to him.
It may take others a whole day to read a book, but Gu Chen only needs five seconds to read a page and can remember all the content on the page.
With the support of this kind of professional-level memory, all Gu Chen needs is time.
"Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh!"
In front of Lu Weiwei, Gu Chen began to open the tutorial very seriously.
Although Lu Weiwei couldn't understand, she still chose to sit across from Gu Chen, holding her chin with her hands, staring blankly at Gu Chen reading seriously.
I thought to myself: Junior Brother Gu looks really handsome when he looks at his book seriously.
Last time in the library, Lu Weiwei had seen how fast Gu Chen read, and it could be said that she was shocked at that time.
When it comes to reading speed, Gu Chen is second, no one dares to say he is first, right?
Gu Chen suddenly stopped at a page, then took out his writing pen and wrote a few times under the small hole on the white paper.
And then... it was flipping through the book again.
Wow, the speed is faster.
I don't know how many times Gu Chen paused. Lu Weiwei didn't notice at all, her eyes were all focused on Gu Chen's face.
"Found it." Gu Chen suddenly smiled and looked up at Lu Weiwei.
Lu Weiwei immediately trembled, recovered from her dazed state, and then quickly averted her gaze and asked: "Then what...what did you find?"
"Look at this." Gu Chen turned the white paper over and handed it to Lu Weiwei in front of him.
"Liu Geng...want to harm me?" Lu Weiwei read the words translated by Gu Chen and suddenly froze: "What...what's going on? Why Liu Geng? Isn't Liu Geng a filial son?"
Lu Weiwei suddenly patted her head, then came back to her senses and said, "Junior brother Gu, are you sure there is no translation error?"
"I can't believe this is true, but look." Gu Chen didn't translate out of thin air, but compared it with the Braille text just now.
Forensic Doctor Liu was also attracted by the shock of Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, and quickly walked to Gu Chen's side.
Then he picked up the white translation paper and adjusted his glasses to read it carefully.
"Gu Chen, can you read Braille?" Forensic Doctor Liu expressed his shock.
"I can't understand it, but I can use your book as a reference." Gu Chen said.
Forensic Doctor Liu picked up the "Beginner's Guide to Braille" in disbelief, then weighed the weight in his hands and said, "For such a thick book, you can actually find the translation font in such a short time?"
"That's right." Gu Chen said.
"Ordinary people may need to spend a lot of time just to understand this book, but you just translate it directly. This...isn't this too outrageous? Is it possible that there is a mistake?"
Anyway, Forensic Doctor Liu didn’t believe it.
If Gu Chen really had this special ability, wouldn't those candidates who were struggling to take the college entrance examination faint in the toilet crying?!
However, when he saw the first Chinese character "Liu" corresponding to Braille, Forensic Doctor Liu's eyes widened slightly.
Then he quickly turned to the dog-eared page. Here was the second Chinese character corresponding to the translated braille. Gu Chen clearly circled it with a pen, which corresponded to the word "geng".
Forensic Doctor Liu was a little uneasy now, and he continued to flip through the pages.
However, what he didn't expect was that the braille that Gu Chen circled with a pen turned into Chinese characters and read "Liu Geng wants to harm me".
Forensic doctor Liu checked it a third time and it was completely correct.
"How's it going? Is there any problem?" Lu Weiwei also asked forensic doctor Liu with a skeptical attitude.
"Gu Chen, you may be a genius." After shaking his head, Forensic Liu said in defeat: "If I were to study this kind of book, it might take two or three days, but... it only took you half an hour."
"Is it really that powerful?" Lu Weiwei couldn't believe it either.
Although I can't read the Braille, it may be my fault, but even Forensic Doctor Liu is daunted by it, which only shows how difficult this book is to understand.
It takes time to understand, and it also takes time to search.
But Gu Chen's 30 minutes seemed to have traveled a distance that forensic doctor Liu had traveled in two or three days.
This couldn't help but make Forensic Doctor Liu feel a serious sense of frustration.
"Is there any misunderstanding here?" Lu Weiwei also raised her own doubts, saying: "After all, it was only nine o'clock in the morning when we went to West Street Primary School Road and found Meimei Supermarket."
"But the old lady's death time was between nine and ten o'clock. During this period, the clerk called. At that time, Liu Geng was in the wholesale market and had no time to kill anyone."
"Maybe... he can forge a time." Gu Chen said.
"Is all this a cover-up?" Lu Weiwei looked at Gu Chen thoughtfully and said, "In other words, Liu Geng was lying at the time. He was at home and fed the old lady poisonous lotus seeds.
soup?"
Watching Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei begin to discuss, Forensic Doctor Liu became more relaxed...
He wiped his forehead and said with a smile: "No matter whether it is correct or not, since there is a result, then go and investigate. You can always find the result by following the clues."
"Forensic Doctor Liu is right." At this time, Officer Wang who was staying at the door also walked in.
"Old Wang, the murderer may be Liu..."
"I know."
Before Lu Weiwei could finish her words, Officer Wang interrupted: "I heard it just now, Liu Geng, this guy is an actor. Isn't it the time to commit the crime? Let's find him."
"What I want is your words." Lu Weiwei also clenched her fists and said, eager to take action immediately.
Several people left the technical department and went directly to the wholesale market where Liu Geng often went, asking local vendors about Liu Geng's specific whereabouts between nine and ten o'clock.
"Have you seen this person before?"
Arriving at the door of a merchant, Gu Chen took out Liu Geng's photo.
"Isn't this the owner of Meimei Supermarket next to West Street Primary School?" said the fat merchant owner.
"So you know each other?" Gu Chen asked.
"That's right." The fat boss nodded and said, "Liu Geng often comes here to purchase goods, and we all old merchants know him."
"Have you seen him in the wholesale market between nine and ten o'clock today?" Gu Chen asked again.
"Um..." The fat boss hesitated for a moment, then turned around and asked a woman behind him: "Honey, do you remember the time Liu Geng came to the market this morning?"
"When did Liu Geng come to the mall?" The middle-aged woman thought about it for a moment, raised her head and said, "He was at the wholesale market early in the morning."
"That means he has been to the wholesale market?" Gu Chen asked.
"Yes, I remember passing by the store several times, but he didn't come in to get the goods, so we didn't entertain him. After all, he likes to pay on credit, but we can't sell goods. Liu Geng doesn't have much money in his hands, and he
My old store is going to be demolished, and I don’t know how long it will take to repay the money for the goods. He still has some balance that he has not paid for me."
The middle-aged woman said a lot of things, which meant that Liu Geng had no money, so she had no way to sell goods to him.
"Then can you remember whether he was still at the wholesale market between nine and ten o'clock?" Gu Chen also recorded the situation just now.
"Well, it seems that he is here." The middle-aged woman thought about it for a few seconds, and suddenly said: "Oh, by the way, he seemed to have answered a phone call in the store next to me around nine o'clock. His tone sounded like
The clerk of the old store looked for him, and then told the owner of the store next door that he had gone to the toilet, and no one was seen after that. It was not until almost 10:30 that he went to the store next door and loaded the goods onto a tricycle."
Gu Chen looked back at Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang. The three of them seemed a little alert.
Officer Wang said: "How can you be sure that it is between nine and ten-thirty? Did you check the time?"
The woman shook her head: "I didn't look at the time. The boss next door looked at the time. We were joking that Liu Geng had been in the toilet for so long that we thought he had fallen into the toilet."
"That's right." The fat shop owner also said: "This Liu Geng, after placing an order next door, disappeared immediately and didn't answer the phone. The next door owner thought he had gone to place an order elsewhere, and was planning to ask the clerk to
After moving the goods into the warehouse, the clerk complained for a long time. This is what I saw before Liu Geng came back."
"In other words, Liu Geng did not appear at the non-staple food wholesale market between nine and ten thirty?" Gu Chen looked up at the couple.
The two of them were also stunned. After looking at each other, they nodded together.
"Maybe he was going to the bathroom, or maybe he went to do other things, but I haven't seen him in this period of time," the middle-aged woman said.
"Thank you for your cooperation." Gu Chen wrote down the note and gave the two a standard salute.
Just when Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang were leaving the non-staple food wholesale market, Officer Wang also received a call from his colleagues in the dispatch room.
After "Uh-huh" for a long time, Officer Wang smiled and said: "The comrades in our dispatch room are very helpful. We found from the surveillance that Liu Geng left the wholesale market after nine o'clock and went to a nearby porridge shop.
I bought lotus seed soup and then took a taxi to the textile factory community in Jiangnan City."
"Did he really leave midway?" Gu Chen also asked strangely: "That is to say, after he was informed by the clerk that the police were coming to the old store, he deliberately delayed us on the pretext that he was busy with work at hand.
He was in the old store, then waited for an opportunity to go home and commit the crime, and then drove a tricycle to unload the goods in the new store, thus creating the illusion that he was not at the scene?"
"And the lotus seed soup he bought was the food that Liu Forensic Doctor detected toxic substances in." Lu Weiwei also added.
Everyone's clues were connected, and everyone immediately looked at each other and smiled.
Gu Chen had seen Liu Geng kneeling on the ground and moving towards his mother's body in the hospital before, and he felt a faint sense of sadness.
But I didn't expect that after purchasing goods, this guy would go to the textile community of Jiangnan City and feed poisonous lotus seed soup to his mother, knowing that the police were waiting for him at the old store.
"A person like this should be cut to pieces if caught. He can do this kind of thing." Officer Wang also clicked his tongue twice, feeling that it was necessary to arrest him immediately.
"Senior Brother Wang, you can wait first." Seeing Officer Wang preparing to leave, Gu Chen immediately reminded: "We don't have to go find him, let him come to us on his own."
"What do you mean?" Officer Wang was confused.
However, Gu Chen already had a plan in mind.
…
…
Five p.m.
Riding a repaired tricycle, Liu Geng arrived at the Furong Police Station compound.
He parked the car under the awning and ran to the office building.
After asking a police officer in the business hall, they went all the way to the gate of the Criminal Investigation Group Three.
"Tuk tuk tuk!" Liu Geng knocked on the door three times and asked, "Is Officer Gu here?"
"I'm here." Gu Chen suddenly appeared behind him.
Liu Geng was also startled, and then asked: "Officer Gu, you called me to tell me that the person who poisoned my mother has been caught? Then where is he?"
Liu Geng also pretended to take a few glances into the office.
Without saying a word, Gu Chen put the rose gold handcuffs on Liu Geng's hands: "That person is standing in front of me now."
"You...are you kidding? Let me go. I'm here to find the murderer. How can you do this to me?"
Liu Geng never expected that the police would do this. He immediately stood at the door of the office and said, "Let me go quickly. What do you want to do?"
"Don't expect us not to know about the bad things you did." Lu Weiwei then came over and stared at Liu Geng.
"Crazy, you are really crazy. I asked you to find the murderer who poisoned my mother, but you arrested me. What kind of police are you?"
Officer Wang, who stepped forward, rolled his eyes and suddenly said, "Don't you want to know why? Just follow us and you'll find out."
…
…
Interrogation room one.
Liu Geng was handcuffed at this moment. He was restless in the interrogation room and looked at the three people anxiously.
"Name." Gu Chen raised his head and asked.
"You...don't you already know?"
"Name." Gu Chen ignored him and continued to ask.
"Liu...Liu Geng." Liu Geng replied angrily, feeling unhappy, and said: "Hey, I told you, what do you want..."
"age."
Before Liu Geng could finish speaking, Gu Chen asked a second question.
Liu Geng was dumbfounded, but he could do nothing. He could only lean on the seat helplessly, pointed at Gu Chen and said: "Okay, you can do it."
"age!"
"42."
"Hometown."
"Jiangnan City..."
A series of questions made Liu Geng clearly feel that he was now a suspect on trial.
More and more uneasiness began to make Liu Geng's expression more serious.
"What are you doing between nine and ten o'clock?" Lu Weiwei asked.
"Go to the bathroom." Liu Geng leaned on his seat and spoke less and less.
"It takes an hour and a half to go to the toilet?" Gu Chen suddenly became excited and said: "As far as I know, the public toilets in the non-staple food wholesale market are not equipped with toilets. Aren't you tired from squatting there?"
"Just say what you want to ask?" Liu Geng's mood began to show an angry side.
"Liu Geng, let me ask you, why did you poison your mother?"
Gu Chen's words were a bit heavy, or in other words, he didn't believe at all that this seemingly single-minded guy in front of him, this filial son who was known among the neighbors by word of mouth, would actually do such a thing.
It can be said that no one with any conscience would use this method to poison a blind old lady.
And he, Liu Geng, is the old lady’s biological son.
"I know you won't admit it." Lu Weiwei also stood up, took the compiled case file information in her hand, walked to Liu Geng and showed it to him.
"Here are all the surveillance images we collected between nine o'clock and ten thirty." Lu Weiwei stood in front of Liu Geng and explained: "And the reason why your mother died was entirely because of your lotus seed soup.
Contains highly toxic substances, I think you should know very well what exactly you have done?"
She has handled many cases, but this is the first time Lu Weiwei has encountered a situation like today.
It can be seen that Liu Geng still has no intention of repenting at all.
A stubborn face always hangs on his face.
"What else do you have to say? What was the reason why you poisoned your mother to death? Aren't you a filial son?" Gu Chen struck while the iron was hot and took advantage of the moment when Liu Geng's defenses collapsed to ask quickly.
Then he took out the white paper with holes and said, "Before she died, your mother had recorded your criminal behavior in Braille. What else do you have to say?"
Liu Geng suddenly shook his body and said angrily: "Because she doesn't treat me as a son. She never has."
Liu Geng's voice was loud, but he could not scare the police.
Officer Wang just slapped the table, knocking back Liu Geng's arrogance: "Why are you shouting? It's louder than your voice, isn't it?"
"You forced me." Liu Geng suddenly turned into a furious lion, and his whole person changed from a calm and confused expression to a ferocious beast in the blink of an eye.
His eyes started to become sharp...
"Did you really do it?" Gu Chen asked again uncertainly.
Liu Geng said "hmm" again, obviously he didn't want to deny it.
All kinds of evidence point to him, and Liu Geng is not stupid. He knows that he is in doom this time.
Officer Wang slammed the table: "Well, Liu Geng, our police worked hard to find the cause of your mother's death, but you got us in and made us believe that you had alibi, made us believe that you were a filial son, made us believe
You are the absolute victim, you are so cunning and you have deceived almost everyone with your skillful acting skills."
After scolding Officer Wang for a while, he looked at Gu Chen.
Gu Chen still had a serious expression on his face, making Officer Wang confused about his thoughts.
Gu Chen called Liu Geng and used the trick of inviting you into the urn, which was indeed worth learning.
"Liu Geng, you have no motive for killing, but why?" Gu Chen suddenly became serious and asked him seriously: "A filial son cannot pretend to be a filial son, but you did something that went against the laws of nature. Isn't it strange? So I
I just want to know, what is your motive for killing?"
