Liu Jun pretended to be strong and looked at Gu Chen, sighing faintly and said: "How did he die? It seems that it has nothing to do with me, right?"
"Dead by poisoning." Gu Chen told him calmly. In fact, he was not surprised by Liu Jun's answer.
The relationship between the two is extremely unusual, and in the eyes of outsiders they are both enemies.
And what Gu Chen saw in the library last night gave him more reason to believe that Hu Haoren's death had something to do with Liu Jun.
Liu Jun didn't expect Gu Chen's reaction to be so calm, so he said: "That's a pity, this guy doesn't deserve to die."
At this time, Lu Weiwei walked in with a data book and sat next to Gu Chen and Officer Wang.
Throwing the information book away, he said: "Liu Jun, you went to Hu Haoren's house last night, right?"
Gu Chen and Officer Wang were stunned for a moment, and both looked at Liu Jun.
"Yes, I have been there." Liu Jun was not surprised.
If the police can find him, they can also find out the fact that he has been to Hu Haoren's house.
"About what time is it?" Gu Chen looked at Liu Jun's indifferent expression and asked, "Why did you go to his house?"
"About... around eleven o'clock, he called me and asked me to go to his house." Liu Jun was very quiet, as if nothing happened.
Gu Chen and Officer Wang looked at each other in confusion.
Officer Wang nodded slightly.
Gu Chen took out the mobile phone wrapped in a transparent evidence bag from the document bag and said, "What's your number?"
"My number is……"
Liu Jun reported the number in full with a slight dialect accent.
Gu Chen opened Hu Haoren's cell phone through the transparent bag and found Liu Jun's number in the call history, which showed that the call time was 10:50 pm.
Gu Chen tried to dial the number, and soon the cell phone in Liu Jun's pocket rang.
In order to dispel the police's concerns, Liu Jun specifically turned the screen to Gu Chen and said: "Comrade police, I will not lie to you."
Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei looked at each other, and Lu Weiwei asked: "Then what exactly are you going to do at the deceased's house?"
"Well...it's just a long story. He asked me to settle it." Liu Jun lowered his head and said with a pale face.
"You two have a grudge?" Gu Chen asked.
"Well, we have known each other for many years. We were originally business partners a year ago, but later due to some irreconcilable conflicts, we parted ways," Liu Jun said.
"Can you be more specific?" Gu Chen wrote down the record and asked him.
"The reason is mine." Liu Jun was a little frustrated, knowing that there were some things that he had to explain clearly now, and hiding them in his heart was not an option.
"I got a girlfriend at that time, when my business was at its peak. But later, because of some things, I believed the woman's rumors and secretly misappropriated business funds to lend money, which caused major problems with a batch of goods, and the funds
The chain was broken, which directly caused us to lose our largest customer, our business plummeted, and we had to close our doors hastily."
"So it's because of this?" Gu Chen asked.
"This is just one of them." Liu Jun scratched his scalp with both hands and said with some embarrassment: "Later I found out that that girlfriend was originally sent by a rival company. It was all my fault."
"These two incidents gave us a heavy blow. We parted ways from then on, and Hu Haoren's mother also got into a car accident while helping him borrow money to fill the gap, so he blamed all these reasons on
On my head."
Seeing Gu Chen, Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei were silent. Liu Jun said again: "Maybe you can't understand this kind of pain. His mother is his only relative."
"Liu Jun, so you really deserve a beating." Officer Wang felt his head hurt hearing this.
As for Liu Jun, Officer Wang initially sympathized with him after learning about last night's tragic experience from Lu Weiwei.
But now it seems that the poor man must be hateful. This kind of thing is the same for everyone. Beating him is not negotiable.
Gu Chen, who always showed his emotions and anger, didn't say much. He just said: "Then what did you say at his house last night? Was there any conflict? Is there anyone else at the scene?"
"This..." Liu Jun shook his head and said: "When I went to his house, he was the only one there. I said you wanted to beat or scold you, as long as he was happy, but I also warned him that this was my last time.
Be patient, everyone will go their separate ways from now on, and don't pester me anymore."
"Is this how you talk to him?" Lu Weiwei asked: "Besides these, what else did you two say?"
"No." Liu Jun shook his head and said: "Last night in the library, he punched, kicked and insulted me arbitrarily. I didn't make any resistance, but I've had enough. I am also a victim. I don't want to
I hope he will make endless insults to me again. Last night, I was actually warning him."
"Then Hu Haoren hasn't done anything to you?" As soon as Gu Chen finished saying this, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
However, Liu Jun looked indifferent and said: "He didn't say anything, he just pushed me out and closed the door."
"Ah?" Lu Weiwei was a little in disbelief and said, "That's it? He called you here just to listen to your warning?"
"Isn't this too outrageous?" Officer Wang didn't believe it either.
If you listen to Liu Jun's one-sided statement, it is indeed full of loopholes.
An ordinary enemy would ask you to come to your home for negotiation, but without saying a word, after hearing a warning from the other party, he would directly push the other party out the door.
Such behavior seems inappropriate...
"Where have you been since you were pushed out of the door?" Gu Chen asked again after finishing the previous notes.
"I haven't been to other places." Liu Jun was also very sure, and added: "I thought we would have a big fight at his house, and even thought that he would hide the fruit knife behind his back, so I kept a certain degree of safety with him.
distance."
"To be honest, I was also surprised. He didn't say a word and pushed me out of the door. I didn't know what he wanted to do, but I knew that the anger in his eyes would not fade away all of a sudden.
."
"So for the sake of safety, I chose to go home immediately. I thought this guy must be crazy. I was afraid that he would suddenly open the door and chop at me with a kitchen knife."
Speaking of this, Liu Jun felt like his whole head was about to explode.
"The statements you made are too outrageous and do not seem to conform to the behavioral norms of normal people's communication." Officer Wang lowered his head and thought for a few seconds, then said: "After you leave, are you sure the door is locked?"
?"
"That's right, after Hu Haoren kicked me out of the room, he locked the door directly. I don't know what he wanted to do. I can only leave this damn place as soon as possible."
Liu Jun sighed, picked up the water cup and took a sip of water, and said: "I have already said everything you want to know. It was only here that I found out that Hu Haoren had been poisoned and died. But what I want to say is that this
This matter has nothing to do with me from beginning to end."
"You should go back first." After preliminary investigation, Officer Wang could not find many clues for the time being, so he said: "But you cannot leave Jiangnan City for the time being. You will be summoned by the police at any time."
"Understood." Liu Jun stood up, quietly walked out of the interrogation room, and disappeared into the long corridor.
Watching Liu Jun leave the Furong Police Station compound downstairs, Gu Chen hesitated and asked: "Senior Sister Lu, do you have any other valuable findings in the surveillance?
"This..." Lu Weiwei put on a helpless expression and said: "Liu Jun is right. Judging from the surveillance, the time between when he entered Hu Haoren's house and when he left was very short. Because it was late at night, there were no entrances or exits.
There were not many people in the corridor, and the man who reported the crime did not go home until early this morning."
"In other words, after Liu Jun left, until the reporter used the key to open the door, the door was always locked, that is, no one else entered the room?" Gu Chen felt more and more that there was something fishy.
As Liu Jun explained, Hu Haoren originally invited him to his home, so as to settle things.
But after arriving at Hu Haoren's house, Hu Haoren did not let Liu Jun stay too long, and even had no intention of talking to Liu Jun, so he kicked Liu Jun out of the house.
From this point of view, Liu Jun was eager to settle things with Hu Haoren, so he rushed to Hu Haoren's house as soon as he received the call.
Even if it's late at night.
However, Hu Haoren's attitude was different. It seemed that he wanted Liu Jun to come to his door intentionally. But was it Hu Haoren who wanted to attack Liu Jun and was killed instead, or was Liu Jun lying from the beginning?
Gu Chen felt that the suspicious point lay in that diary.
But Hu Haoren was left-handed. After he only left the word "Liu" in his notebook, he was poisoned and died before he could continue writing.
From this point of view, the pen should be on the left hand, but what Gu Chen saw at the scene was on Hu Haoren's right side.
At this time, Officer Wang's phone rang. It was Forensic Doctor Liu.
Officer Wang answered the call without saying a word.
"Old Wang, I have prepared the autopsy report. I can send it to you by email if you want it."
"Forensic Doctor Liu" Before Officer Wang could reply, Gu Chen took the lead and said, "What kind of poison was in the deceased?"
"Haha, it turns out that Gu Chen, you kid, also knew that he was poisoned." Forensic doctor Liu didn't show off, and said directly: "Cyanide was found in the deceased's stomach."
"Chloride?" Gu Chen was startled and said, "But I found blood stains in his mouth."
"Gu Chen, chloride poisoning will not bleed." Forensic Doctor Liu said.
Gu Chen suddenly understood and said: "I know, chloride poisoning does not cause bleeding, but cyanide poisoning kills people very quickly."
Listening to Gu Chen's response on the phone, Forensic Doctor Liu was very pleased and said: "Gu Chen, it seems that the manuscript I lent you was not in vain. Have you remembered all of this?"
"Thank you, Forensic Doctor Liu, your test was really timely." Gu Chen suddenly felt like he was about to break through the bottleneck.
"Junior brother Gu, why are you excited about chloride poisoning? Does this mean anything?" Lu Weiwei was as curious as a primary school student, but she really didn't know what Gu Chen was excited about.
"Sister Lu, he died of chloride poisoning. The poison lasted very quickly. This means that it is impossible for the deceased to leave a death message. Look at this."
Gu Chen walked back to the interrogation room, opened the diary wrapped with transparent evidence tape and showed it to Lu Weiwei: "Did you find any doubts?"
"It seems... pretty neat?" Lu Weiwei looked at Gu Chen without knowing why.
"Let me take a look." Officer Wang also held it in his hand and observed it, and said, "It's true, although the handwriting is a little shaky, it feels a bit deliberate."
"That's right." Gu Chen walked to the other person at the interrogation table and said, "If I were poisoned now, I would be so painful that my eyes would be starry. In this case, I would quickly find the notebook and record the name of the murderer.
When I write, I will hold the pen and write very hard, and the handwriting will be very deep, but these cannot be seen in the diary."
Lu Weiwei said blankly: "So, these words were not written by Hu Haoren?"
Gu Chen shook his head: "You can't say that, there is another situation."
"Another situation?" Officer Wang on the side was also a little confused. Gu Chen deduced from the poisoned substance that there was indeed something wrong with the handwriting left by the deceased Hu Haoren.
Officer Wang can confirm this and his analysis is correct, but Officer Wang is very doubtful about what the other situation Gu Chen mentioned is.
"Gu Chen, tell me." Officer Wang couldn't wait.
"That is, Hu Haoren wrote the word 'Liu' in advance as a cover. Of course, in order to be realistic, he could also write the handwriting a little erratically, but anything that is deliberate will eventually reveal some flaws."
Gu Chen picked up a pen and imitated the notes left by Hu Haoren on a blank page in the notebook. He imitated three or four times in a row, then raised his head and asked the two of them: "Brother Wang, Senior Sister Lu, what did you find out?"
without?"
"It's deliberate." Lu Weiwei said first: "The writing with this kind of stroke structure is obviously deliberate. It doesn't look like it was written while enduring severe pain after being poisoned."
"Lu Weiwei is right." Officer Wang also agreed with Lu Weiwei's analysis.
Gu Chen's simulation just now illustrates the problem...
"There is indeed a big difference between the words written deliberately or randomly. Perhaps Hu Hao also wanted to create a state where he was too late to write a word after being poisoned, but his calligraphy was not up to standard, and the deliberate cover-up revealed his deliberate intentions.
A long-standing conspiracy."
"You mean, all this is Hu Haoren's conspiracy?" Officer Wang felt a little unbelievable and hurriedly said: "Gu Chen, you must be responsible for what you said. The current situation is that the deceased is Hu Haoren.
Could he commit suicide and then blame Liu Jun?"
The air suddenly became quiet.
Seeing Gu Chen looking at him with a smile, Officer Wang suddenly felt that his reasoning just now seemed to make sense.
"Gu Chen, do you mean..."
"Yes, Senior Brother Wang, my theory is that the deceased Hu Haoren deliberately created the illusion that he was poisoned and killed, and then used this diary as evidence to frame him, allowing the police to arrest Liu Jun, who is the most suspected."
Lu Weiwei took a breath and said: "This...this is getting more and more outrageous. Hu Haoren committed suicide? How is this possible?"
"We can make a bold assumption based on the circumstances of Hu Haoren's suicide." Gu Chen also walked to the seat where Liu Jun was sitting just now and said: "Hu Haoren is now suffering from a terminal illness. He knows that he does not have much time to live, and
He has irreconcilable conflicts and hatred with Liu Jun, and he wants to create a scene of Liu Jun's murder before he dies, so that the police can bring Liu Jun to justice."
"Pfft!" Lu Weiwei couldn't help laughing at that time and said: "Junior Brother Gu, do you think you are writing a novel? How is this possible?"
"I don't think it's very reliable either." Officer Wang held his chin and frowned: "How can anyone not think about committing suicide? This requires a lot of courage, and ordinary people cannot bear such a choice."
"Senior Brother Wang." Gu Chen picked up the diary and said, "Please note that first, the call was from Hu Haoren. He made an appointment with Liu Jun late at night, which obviously has a certain purpose."
"Second, the evidence that Hu Haoren left the word 'Liu' in his diary can obviously be forged."
"Thirdly, after he finished writing, if he had no time to write a word, the pen should be on the left, but now it is on the right."
"Fourth, Liu Jun came to Hu Haoren's house for a very short time, which is consistent with Liu Jun's oral description of being turned away by Hu Haoren, and there were only two keys, one on Hu Haoren's body and one on the person who reported the crime.
When people enter the house, the door is locked."
"Fifth, with chloride poisoning, the time from the onset of poisoning to death is very short, so short that it is difficult to do other things at all."
"Connecting all these doubts together, I feel that Hu Haoren is like fishing, with himself as the bait and Liu Jun as the fish."
"What he did was conducive to keeping Liu Jun within the time of his death. In this way, when the police investigate, the biggest suspect they can first identify is Liu Jun. When investigating Hu Haoren's death time, they can also find out
It turned out to be Liu Jun, and in order for our police to further believe that the perpetrator was Liu Jun, Hu Haoren even specially wrote the word 'Liu'."
"Cleverness leads to misunderstanding. Many clues are too deliberate and make me feel suspicious..."
Gu Chen deduced many problematic clues based on his own judgment.
All the clues were obvious, which made Gu Chen feel a little incredible.
"Gu Chen." Officer Wang thought carefully and then said cautiously: "You mean...Hu Haoren committed suicide, and then in order to put the blame on his enemies, he forged a death message and faked a murder in a secret room?"
"It's just a virtual illusion. Now as long as we investigate Hu Haoren's physical condition, I think it will be of great help to our subsequent investigations."
Gu Chen hesitated for a moment and said: "Of course, this is a possibility that I deduced based on the known clues and flaws at the scene. For the specifics, I have to go on-site to investigate."
"Leave this to me. I will use my information about Hu Hao to investigate his recent medical treatment." Lu Weiwei heard this with excitement.
Although I don't know if what Gu Chen said is true, Gu Chen has his own evidence to support it, so he still has to give it a try.
"Okay, you go now." Officer Wang also felt that the situation was urgent.
The three people returned to the third group office...
Subsequently, Lu Weiwei began to contact relevant departments to investigate Hu Haoren's medical treatment in the Jiangnan City Hospital System.
I called again and again, and finally made new progress an hour later...
