When it comes to the suspect's anti-reconnaissance skills, Gu Chen's team has actually encountered them many times.
Many times, suspects can indeed clean up some clues, but if they are too deliberate, other aspects will be exposed.
So when investigating a case, sometimes the most important thing is that you don't make mistakes.
The reason Gu Chen was able to find this place was because he used all his investigative methods.
The fact that the suspect was able to clean up the traces on the car is enough to show that the other party may have thought that the police might find this place.
So, now it’s all about masters competing against each other.
Gu Chen briefly looked around and began to investigate based on the surrounding terrain, while Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha continued to review the vehicle and contacted the relevant vehicles to prepare to take away the evidence.
Lu Weiwei followed Gu Chen, looking for suspicious clues along the way.
"Junior Brother Gu, look quickly." While Gu Chen was looking, Lu Weiwei pointed at the wall.
Gu Chen turned around and looked and found that there seemed to be some serious scratches on the wall.
Moreover, it seems that the other party deliberately used a piece of scrap wood to cover the scratched location.
And this scratch, Gu Chen also discovered, was the latest mark.
Obviously, this unexpected situation was unexpected by the other party. This was the kind of mistake Gu Chen thought.
Putting on white gloves, Gu Chen removed the wooden board. After a brief inspection, he found that the marks were not serious scratches.
However, due to the disrepair of the factory here, the paint on the exterior walls is also fragile.
You can almost crush the paint on the outside of the wall with your hands.
"This should be caused by an accidental collision when someone was passing by." Gu Chen retracted his gaze and stood up straight.
Lu Weiwei thought thoughtfully: "You said this person was perfectly fine when he was walking, so why did he collide here? Could it be a sprained foot?"
Gu Chen did not answer immediately, but looked around again and found that there was an exposed nail on the template that had been removed just now.
Since the nails are already rusty, it can be seen that they are old.
But Gu Chen discovered a new problem, that is, there seemed to be some bright red traces around the rusty nails, which seemed to have been contaminated by some liquid.
Gu Chen picked up the wooden board, looked at it carefully, and then looked at the impact marks on the wall, and he immediately had the answer in his mind.
"Junior brother Gu." Seeing Gu Chen's delay in responding, Lu Weiwei quickly asked him: "Did you find something?"
"It's a nail." Gu Chen said.
"Nail?" Lu Weiwei was a little confused, but after thinking for a while, looking at Gu Chen's confident eyes, she suddenly understood and said quickly:
"I understand. What Junior Brother Gu means is that this person may have stepped on a nail on the wooden board, and then accidentally lost his balance, causing his body to collide with the wall here."
"So, there were scratches on the wall, and because the other party didn't want us, the police, to discover this problem, they deliberately covered it with wooden boards as a cover."
Seeing Gu Chen nodding silently, Lu Weiwei thought for a while and immediately said: "This means that the person was in a hurry and wanted to leave here as soon as possible, but he did not find the nails on the ground."
"In this case, the soles of this person's feet must have been injured by nails, right?"
"Yeah." After hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Gu Chen nodded silently and couldn't help but say:
"This is basically the same as my previous guess. Perhaps it was because the suspect accidentally stepped on a nail on the wooden board, which caused the wall to be scratched."
"But this is a dead end, and no one has passed through it for a long time. The other party had some considerations in choosing this place as a place to hide the motorcycle."
"However, the opponent didn't pay attention to the messy nails here, so he was accidentally hit."
Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen was also overjoyed.
Lu Weiwei hurriedly walked up to Gu Chen and said with a smile: "Then we have a new direction of investigation."
"The first is the abandoned motorcycle. We can find some information about the suspect by investigating the source of the motorcycle."
"Secondly, no one else should have been here, so the injured person must be the suspect."
"And the sole of the suspect's foot was injured by a nail. The key is..."
Glancing at the rusty nail on the wooden board nearby, Lu Weiwei added: "The key is that this nail is still rusty."
"If you get pricked and hurt the sole of your foot, if you don't get treatment quickly, you will definitely get tetanus."
Looking up at Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei added: "So, this guy will definitely try to find a way to treat the soles of his feet."
"Two possibilities." After listening to Lu Weiwei's analysis, Gu Chen also raised two fingers and said:
"First, he may go to the hospital for treatment to treat the wound on the sole of his foot to avoid wound infection. This is the most likely possibility."
"Secondly, this guy may not dare to go to the hospital. He may be afraid of exposing himself, so he will buy some disinfectant items to treat his wounds simply."
"Of course, this possibility is also very high."
"It doesn't matter. As long as there is a place selling these things, we can find them." Listening to Gu Chen's explanation, Lu Weiwei seemed to feel that maybe God was helping everyone find the murderer.
Gu Chen picked up the wooden board in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief: "I didn't expect that this small wooden board with nails would actually help us a lot."
"From now on, patients who have been treated for foot injuries in major hospitals must be immediately investigated."
"In addition, additional manpower needs to be deployed to inspect all clinics and investigate patients with foot injuries."
"There are also major pharmacies to see who has purchased some disinfectants recently. This is the most difficult to investigate, but we cannot let go of any details."
"I understand." After listening to Gu Chen's conclusion, Lu Weiwei said quickly:
"This matter needs to be implemented as soon as possible. I will inform Lao Wang and the others right away."
With this clue, everyone immediately began to coordinate.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The vehicle contacted by Officer Wang has also arrived at the scene, and has temporarily transported the vehicle to the downstairs of the Technical Section of the Municipal Bureau, ready for forensic doctor Gao Chuanfeng to examine it
, see if there are any valuable clues.
At noon, everyone gathered in the canteen of Furong Branch.
While Gu Chen was eating, he was also arranging the following tasks with everyone:
"Because time is tight and the tasks are heavy, I will explain it to everyone during dinner."
"Starting from the afternoon, all hospitals and clinics in Jiangnan City will investigate for me to see if anyone has been treated for foot injuries recently."
"If there is, quickly investigate the surveillance footage and send it to Senior Brother He for comparison."
"If there is no surveillance, then give me an inquiry. The approximate condition of the injured person must be detailed."
"Also, in major pharmacies, if anyone has recently purchased medicines to treat foot injuries, let me check them out. In particular, I must ask for the specific appearance of the purchaser."
"If this person is more in line with the suspect, we should monitor him and investigate him. If he is not monitored, he can also ask me about his specific appearance. Do you understand?"
"Understood." Those sitting around Gu Chen eating were all key members of the criminal investigation team.
Gu Chen often distributes tasks and everyone can implement them well.
So, after lunch, everyone basically arranged the following tasks.
…
…
In the afternoon, Gu Chen sat in the criminal investigation team's office, quietly waiting for the results of the various action teams going out to investigate.
Therefore, Gu Chen always received a lot of messages in the afternoon, all of which were sent to Gu Chen for confirmation.
But Gu Chen checked several, but none of them matched the identity of the suspect.
Moreover, other investigation teams have yet to send back any news, which makes Gu Chen's wait a bit painful.
After Police Officer Wang made the wolfberry tea, he walked up to Gu Chen and joked: "It's really hard work to assign so many investigation tasks."
"These hospitals and clinics are all located in various locations in Jiangnan City. It is really difficult to check each one one by one."
Shaking his finger, Officer Wang added: "Especially that drugstore, it's even more widely distributed. It's everywhere."
"Then it's even more important to investigate." Gu Chen said.
Officer Wang chuckled and couldn't help but said: "That's for sure. You asked them to send all the investigated locations to the group. It feels like checking in."
"How long has it been since? These guys have already posted a series of addresses in the group, which makes me feel numb."
"Can we send you out to investigate?" Lu Weiwei said, listening to Officer Wang's complaint.
Officer Wang waved his hand: "That's not necessary. I'm just complaining. It gives me a headache just to see this."
"That's better than investigating outside." Yuan Shasha took a sip of her juice drink and said with a smile.
At this moment, Gu Chen's phone suddenly rang.
When he saw that the call was from Wu Xiaofeng, Gu Chen directly opened the answer button and asked: "Wu Xiaofeng, how are you? Have you found it?"
"Senior Brother Gu, I have a strange customer here. I think it may be related to the suspect." Wu Xiaofeng said on the phone.
Gu Chen asked hurriedly: "Where is the location of your investigation?"
"The suburbs in the north of the city are on the way to Jiangnan Lake, over there at the Auto Parts City." Wu Xiaofeng said.
"So far?" Thinking that Wu Xiaofeng had followed the route all the way, Gu Chen quickly said again:
"Then tell me, what have you investigated?"
"That's it." Wu Xiaofeng on the phone paused for a few seconds, then quickly said:
"According to your request, I went all the way north and asked and investigated the hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, and Jizhe one by one along the way."
"I had not gained much before, until I found a pharmacy here in the Auto Parts City. When I inquired about it, I found that there used to be a strange customer here."
"Weird customer? What do you mean?" Gu Chen didn't quite understand what Wu Xiaofeng meant.
So Wu Xiaofeng continued to explain: "The clerk here told me that just last night, a little boy came to buy medicines."
"According to the clerk's account, the medicines purchased by this little boy can basically treat and bandage foot injuries."
"What exactly did you buy?" Gu Chen quickly asked again.
"Just...a hemostatic bandage, some iodine, and some anti-inflammatory drugs."
"Anyway, there are quite a lot of things to buy. It seems that the little boy came to buy for someone. The person gave him a list and asked him to give it to the clerk and buy according to the list above."
"Let the little boy buy medicine for you?" Gu Chen frowned slightly and asked again:
"What's the relationship between that boy and the person who bought the medicine?"
"I don't know, the store clerk doesn't know either. He just told us that we bought it around 9pm, when it was almost closing."
"Because the auto parts mall is not very busy at night, and the location of their pharmacy is not a good one in the auto parts mall, so the number of customers is limited."
"But just before closing time, this little boy came over with a list to buy medicine."
"My analysis is that maybe the suspect was not good at road conditions and was afraid of exposing himself, so he asked the little boy for help."
"Can this little boy be found?" Gu Chen quickly asked him based on Wu Xiaofeng's story.
Wu Xiaofeng replied affirmatively: "Yes, because according to the clerk's explanation, this little boy is from a nearby village."
"Moreover, I have obtained a screenshot of the pharmacy's surveillance here. Take the screenshot and look for it. You should be able to find it soon."
"But because this investigation takes a long time, Ji Zhe and I may not report the searched addresses in the group for a long time, so I told you in advance."
"Okay, then I understand. You should quickly investigate this little boy and find out his family background and his relationship with this suspect."
"If the little boy has a close relationship with the suspect, don't act too hastily. You need to master the methods to communicate with the child."
"I understand, Senior Brother Gu, I understand what you mean." Of course Wu Xiaofeng knew what Gu Chen meant, and he quickly agreed:
"So, I'm going to go over with Ji Zhe to investigate now, and I'll report to you when we have the results."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you."
The two communicated for a while, and then they both hung up the phone.
Also listening to Gu Chen's conversation with Wu Xiaofeng just now, Officer Wang put down the thermos cup and couldn't help but say:
"Maybe, the first ones to find the injured suspect might be Wu Xiaofeng and Ji Zhe."
"They ran quite far away from the dilapidated factory building in completely opposite directions, and they basically ran across the entire city." Yuan Shasha on the side also expressed her opinion.
Lu Weiwei shook her fingers and said involuntarily: "If this buyer is really a suspect, it can only mean that the suspect is very smart and knows to choose a more remote area far away from the incident site to treat his wounds.
.”
"I also considered my own safety, so I began to look forward to the investigation results of Wu Xiaofeng and Ji Zhe. I also wanted to know whether this little boy was related to the suspect?"
"Keep waiting." Officer Wang sat back in his seat, took a sip of wolfberry tea and said, "I hope I won't be disappointed this time."
