It felt like what Gu Chen said seemed to make sense. After all, Zhang Jingde had a good relationship with him, which was recognized by everyone.
Moreover, Gu Chen has followed Zhang Jingde since he was a child and is very familiar with some of Zhang Jingde's habits.
Therefore, Lu Weiwei actually believed what Gu Chen said.
It's just that Zhang Jingde is now seriously injured and hospitalized, and Officer Li hasn't provided many valuable clues.
If we follow normal logic, it seems that case investigation needs to start with clues, such as footprints.
But Gu Chen didn't understand it that way. In Gu Chen's eyes, Zhang Jingde should have some important clues in his hands.
These important clues were the key factors that led the suspect to kill him.
After all, Zhang Jingde is used to being on duty and renting in Zhang Jingde's activity area, which is enough to show that the other party wants to take action against Zhang Jingde.
It's just that Gu Chen doesn't have enough evidence yet to prove what he has guessed.
"Junior Brother Gu, what should we do now?" After this incident, Lu Weiwei had no intention of dating Gu Chen.
Gu Chen hesitated for a few seconds, and then said slowly: "I feel like I should go to Uncle Zhang's house and see if I can find any important clues from his house?"
"Uncle Zhang's family are traveling in the northwest now and won't be back for a while, so the key to Uncle Zhang's house must be with Uncle Zhang," Lu Weiwei said.
Gu Chen nodded silently and said "hmm", then took out his mobile phone and dialed his father Gu Baichuan's phone number.
Not long after, the call was connected, and Gu Chen quickly asked: "Dad, how is Uncle Zhang doing now?"
"Still the same, unconscious, and the situation is not optimistic." Gu Baichuan on the phone also sighed heavily, seeming to be extremely nervous about the life and death of this old friend.
Gu Chen didn't have time to think too much, and quickly said: "By the way, dad, when we were investigating here, we found the suspect's residence, and we are still investigating it."
"But it can be seen that this suspect seems to have been prepared for it, and it is very likely that he has been targeting Uncle Zhang for a long time."
"What did you say?" Hearing what Gu Chen said, Gu Baichuan couldn't help but was shocked and quickly asked: "You mean, Zhang Jingde has been targeted for a long time?"
"From the current point of view, this is a possibility, so I suspect that Uncle Zhang may have something that the suspect wants."
"Is that so?" Hearing what Gu Chen said, Gu Zhuangyou suddenly frowned, feeling that the situation seemed much worse than he imagined.
Gu Chen quickly said: "By the way, Dad, go and see if the key to Uncle Zhang's house is still with him. I want to go to Uncle Zhang's house and see if I can find some clues."
"Oh, then I'll go take a look. Just wait for me." After Gu Chen finished speaking, Gu Baichuan hurried to implement Gu Chen's request.
Gu Chen did not hang up the phone. He only heard Gu Baichuan begin to communicate with the doctors and nurses on the other end of the phone.
After a period of repeated communication, Gu Baichuan also picked up the phone with a confused look on his face and communicated with Gu Chen:
"Son, the doctors and nurses here have said that no one has seen your Uncle Zhang with a key on him since he was sent to the hospital."
"No way? I remember that I always carry the key to Uncle Zhang's house with me." Listening to what his father Gu Baichuan said, Gu Chen suddenly felt that the situation seemed a bit subtle.
Gu Baichuan hurriedly added: "Then wait a moment, and I'll ask his colleagues."
After a brief pause, Gu Baichuan began to ask again.
When Gu Chen heard Gu Baichuan's reply on the phone, it was already a few minutes later. Gu Baichuan also looked puzzled and said:
"Son, I asked all your Uncle Zhang's colleagues here. No one knows where his bunch of keys are. From the moment he was rescued to the hospital, no one paid attention to the bunch of keys."
"That means, maybe in the car? Or somewhere else?" Hearing such an answer, Gu Chen was also startled. He had an ominous premonition.
Gu Baichuan also warned: "Son, you can ask again."
"Okay, let's do this for now." Gu Chen hung up the phone and looked in the direction of the rental house.
At this moment, Officer Li was still discussing matters with several colleagues. Gu Chen walked over directly, found Officer Li, and asked:
"Senior Brother Li, have you found the key to my Uncle Zhang's house?"
"Master's key?" When Gu Chen asked suddenly, Officer Li seemed to be in a state of confusion. It took him a long time to react, and then he replied:
"If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten. Ever since I rescued the master, I haven't found his key."
"Isn't there one in the car too?" Gu Chen asked.
"There are only a few keys on duty in the car, and they are hanging in the car together with the car keys, but I really don't seem to see the master's keys," Officer Li said.
"Not good." Hearing this reply, Gu Chen had an ominous premonition and said slowly:
"Maybe the murderer has already taken Uncle Zhang's key to his house."
"You can't be so arrogant, right?" Lu Weiwei also felt incredible after hearing what Gu Chen said.
Gu Chen responded: "This guy can even assassinate the police, what else can't he do?"
"He is a desperado now. If he wants to kill Uncle Zhang, he must have a strong purpose."
"At the very least, Uncle Zhang must have what he needs. Uncle Zhang's key is missing, maybe it's in that person's hand."
"Moreover, judging from the rent, that person has actually been eyeing Uncle Zhang for a long time. Maybe he has already found out where Uncle Zhang lives."
"Well, Gu Chen, what you said makes sense." After hearing Gu Chen's explanation, Officer Li seemed to have recovered from his previous state, and then he hurriedly said:
"Then we should quickly go to the master's house to check the situation."
"Contact the dispatch room and ask the people in the dispatch room to keep an eye on the surveillance cameras near uncle's house." Gu Chen said.
"I'll arrange this." Officer Li took out his mobile phone and started making arrangements over the phone.
Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei drove directly towards Zhang Jingde's house with Officer Li in their car.
Because Zhang Jingde’s son has been living in a new house since he got married.
Zhang Jingde and his wife still live in the old community. Their house is not far from Gu Chen's home and belongs to another old community.
When Gu Chen drove to the scene, he parked the vehicle in a parking space, got out of the car and ran towards Zhang Jingde's house.
Following closely behind were Lu Weiwei and Officer Li.
When Gu Chen was the first to arrive at the door of Zhang Jingde's house, the door to Zhang Jingde's house was still closed.
Lu Weiwei and Officer Li, who came later, were also standing behind Gu Chen.
Officer Li reminded: "We can't get in without the key."
"I have a way." Gu Chen looked around, then walked to the steps in the middle of the corridor, pushed open the window, then reached into the flowerpot outside and took one of the small vases in his hand.
Then he dug up the soil with his hands, and soon Gu Chen found a key wrapped in a transparent bag.
Lu Weiwei was stunned: "Junior Brother Gu, how did you know there was a key here?"
"What's my relationship with Uncle Zhang? Where is the spare key to his house? Apart from Uncle Zhang's family, only I know. Even my parents don't know."
As Gu Chen spoke, he took out the key and started to open the door.
Officer Li on the side was also filled with admiration and couldn't help but say: "You are really there, Gu Chen. It seems that your relationship with the master is really extraordinary."
"Isn't that right?" Gu Chen had already opened the door as he spoke.
At this moment, Gu Chen discovered that the entire room seemed to be in a mess, and many items in the room seemed to have signs of being turned over.
Seeing this scene, Officer Li drew out his mechanical baton vigilantly, made a defensive posture, and reminded Gu Chen:
"Gu Chen, be careful, this guy might be hiding somewhere in the house."
"Yeah, I know." Gu Chen also felt that Zhang Jingde's family was not just inviting thieves this time.
But the key to the home seemed to have been taken away conveniently after being attacked by the other party.
Only in this way can the other party easily enter Zhang Jingde's house without destroying the door.
And it is not difficult to see from the messy scene at the scene that the other party is looking for something.
The three of them stood at the door, put on goggles and gloves, and began to walk into the living room cautiously.
Afterwards, the three formed a defensive formation and began to search each room one by one.
However, after going around for a while, nothing seems to be gained.
Everyone who came to the living room also looked disappointed.
Lu Weiwei also said angrily: "This guy seems to be one step ahead and has already arrived here immediately."
"Let's see if we can find this guy from the surveillance." Gu Chen looked up at Officer Li.
Officer Li also nodded silently, took out his mobile phone, and started to contact his colleagues:
"Lao Yang, hurry up and check for us. Has any suspicious person come in or out of my master's house from when he was injured to now? Yes, my master's house was robbed, and the room was searched everywhere, yes."
"Currently, it is judged that it was probably the person who attacked him. Yes, help me investigate quickly. Well, let's do this first."
After a few brief exchanges, Officer Li hung up the phone with his hands on his hips and an unhappy expression.
Gu Chen, on the other hand, was not affected by these situations and continued to search every corner of the room.
The bedroom was the area that the suspicious person focused on searching.
From the bedside table to the wardrobe, everything was searched everywhere.
Various clothes were scattered on the floor.
Lu Weiwei, who came in from the living room, shook her head at Gu Chen and said helplessly:
"Junior Brother Gu, we have searched everywhere we should, but that guy doesn't seem to have left any traces."
"It seems he is a master." Gu Chen sighed and shook his head helplessly:
"From the moment I entered the house, I discovered that this guy seemed to know a lot about counter-reconnaissance."
"Although the room was searched messily, perhaps to save time, it did not leave any footprints or fingerprints in the room."
Because Gu Chen conducted fingerprint checks on those special areas, such as the handles of the bedside table, the handles of the wardrobe, and other areas that are easily accessible.
Finding no recent suspicious traces, Gu Chen judged that the other party might also be wearing gloves and foot covers, and had considerable experience in self-protection.
In fact, Gu Chen was most afraid of meeting such an opponent, because it would always bring him a lot of trouble in investigating the door.
But this time, Gu Chen had to know that everyone would be facing a very cautious criminal who had strict requirements for himself.
In particular, everything seems to be in the opponent's plan, and judging from the situation on the scene, the opponent has certain counter-reconnaissance experience and some strategies.
It obviously takes a lot of energy to deal with such a guy.
While Gu Chen was thinking, a call came to Officer Li's cell phone.
Officer Li didn't say anything, and directly opened the answer button: "Hello? What? That guy can't see his face clearly? Please send me a screenshot of the surveillance photo. Yes, right now, right away."
After hanging up the phone, Officer Li also looked worried. He turned to look in the direction of Gu Chen and said:
"Gu Chen, the suspicious person did find one, but the other person wrapped himself tightly. The nearby surveillance camera captured it, but he couldn't see his face clearly, so it doesn't have much reference value."
While he was talking, Officer Li's cell phone message rang. Officer Li picked up the phone, showed the screen in front of Gu Chen and said:
"This was captured by surveillance cameras near the master's house. Generally speaking, the person who entered the master's house should be this person, wearing a white shirt and gray trousers."
"Judging from his behavior, he is the most suspicious. Moreover, it seems that it is his first time here and he is not very skilled in walking."
"Judging from the surveillance, it seems that he has been looking around for fear that he is being followed."
"Of course, this guy also secretly glanced at several nearby surveillance cameras, but because the other party was tightly wrapped, he couldn't see clearly what the other party was thinking?"
"Yeah." After listening to Officer Li's report, Gu Chen also agreed.
It feels like this is almost exactly the same as what I guessed before.
The other party first stabbed Zhang Jingde, then secretly took away his key, and used this key to successfully sneak into Zhang Jingde's house.
Judging from the rummaging of boxes and cabinets at the scene, Gu Chen guessed that the other party was eager to find what he had lost, so he acted like this.
But now there is a more important question before us, that is, what is the other party looking for? Why should they kill Zhang Jingde?
Judging from all the current signs, the other party seems to want to kill people and silence them.
He intended to find what he wanted from Zhang Jingde's house, but the more he did this, the easier it was to expose his behavior.
Therefore, Gu Chen could infer what kind of person the other party was from the scene.
"How are you, Gu Chen?" Officer Li stepped forward and asked.
"Ask Senior Brother Li's colleagues to continue investigating the person who appeared in nearby surveillance cameras."
"If we can pinpoint where the other party is, we may be able to arrest him."
