Gu Chen and Qi Tian looked at each other, as if they both wanted to go together.
"Is Boss Meng's son named Meng Yang?" Gu Chen asked.
The woman was stunned and said, "How do you know? Yes, Boss Meng's son is named Meng Yang."
"Does he still have the habit of collecting sneakers?" Qi Tian also asked.
"Yes, there are a lot of shoes in his room. He asked me not to move them. I heard they are quite expensive." The woman also recalled for a few seconds, and then added: "But I don't understand very well, so the boss's son's
I usually don’t clean the room, but even if I have to clean it, it must be done under his supervision.”
"You said that only Meng Yang came here in the afternoon, but did you leave at that time?" Gu Chen picked up the transcript and asked again.
In fact, if this condition is true, then both Meng Yang and the woman who reported the crime will be suspects, because no one else has been to the scene.
The woman nodded and said, "Yes, I left after Meng Yang came here around three o'clock in the afternoon."
"But why are you leaving? Is it because Meng Yang has something to discuss with Boss Meng?" Gu Chen asked.
"That's right." The woman did not deny it and said, "Meng Yang seems to have come to ask Boss Meng for money. He seems to be short of money recently, but the two had a quarrel."
"But because I was an outsider, it was awkward to stay at home, so I said hello to Boss Meng and told him that I would come back to clean the remaining rooms in the evening."
"But before I left, Boss Meng and Meng Yang were still arguing. They both seemed to have very bad tempers."
The scene suddenly fell into a brief silence. Judging from various conditions, Meng Yang seemed to be the most suspicious.
But it is still unclear whether this middle-aged woman is lying.
Gu Chen carefully observed the layout of the room.
The Meng family lives in a small foreign-style building, and the surveillance layout is set up at the four corners outside the door.
It can be said that if you want to enter or leave Meng's house, surveillance will definitely capture it.
"Where is the monitoring and operating platform of the villa?" Gu Chen walked to the door, turned around and asked the woman who called the police.
"You mean... the computer that controls the surveillance?" The woman didn't know much about this, but she also knew that the relevant surveillance could be seen on the computer screen.
"Yes, that's it." Qitian on the side agreed.
"It's in the room next to the boss. How about I take you to have a look." The woman understood instantly and said quickly.
Others did not dare to slack off. Except for the police officer who stayed at the scene just now, Gu Chen and Qi Tian followed the woman to the next room.
The woman didn't know much about it, but Gu Chen was very skilled in this kind of operation, and after three clicks, five, and two, he retrieved the surveillance footage at about three o'clock in the afternoon.
In the picture, Meng Yang, who had a verbal dispute with the elderly man at Huimin Supermarket in the afternoon, drove to the villa and then walked into the house.
Time advances minute by minute...
About fifteen minutes later, the woman who called the police left the villa with her backpack on her back.
More than an hour passed before Meng Yang walked out of the house dejectedly.
But he did not drive, but left on foot...
Gu Chen then sped up the surveillance footage until the woman who called the police walked into the villa.
Not long after, Gu Chen and Qi Tian arrived at the scene.
"Yes, Meng Yang was indeed the last one to leave the scene, and Boss Meng has obviously been dead for some time." Gu Chen made a rough deduction on the time of death based on the characteristics identified by Liu's forensic doctor in the past.
"You are right." Qi Tian also confirmed: "The time from the time she entered the room to the time we arrived at the scene was very short, but Boss Meng has obviously been dead for some time, so her suspicion can be ruled out for the time being."
Seeing the police clearing her from suspicion, the woman breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest and said gratefully: "Thank you, comrades police, thank you very much. I thought I would get into big trouble, but I was really afraid that you would misunderstand me and arrest me."
Go into the police station."
"We will not wrongly accuse a good person, nor let a bad person go." Seeing the woman's nervousness, Gu Chen comforted her and said, "You did a good job protecting the scene. After you discovered the problem, you notified the police in time and did not leave without permission.
At the scene, you did the right thing in this regard."
"Yes, ordinary people would have been scared away. It seems that your psychological quality is still excellent." Qi Tian couldn't help but praise a few words.
The woman said awkwardly: "Comrade police, please stop teasing me. I'm just afraid of being implicated. Now that my suspicion can be eliminated, please find the murderer immediately and bring him to justice."
After hearing what Gu Chen said just now, the middle-aged woman didn't think much about it, but she was no longer so nervous when she looked at the policeman's appearance.
She was originally a part-time worker, but now that her boss is gone, she still doesn't know who to pay her salary to, so she is still a little depressed.
Moreover, the boss who was fine in the afternoon was no longer there in the evening. She always felt that something was very strange.
Gu Chen's expression didn't change much. He continued to put on his white gloves and said to Qi Tian beside him: "Senior Brother Qi, let's check the scene again."
"Check the scene?" Qi Tian, who was thinking about how to arrest people later, couldn't help but wonder: "Isn't it right to just arrest Meng Yang?"
"But Meng Yang is the biological son of the deceased after all." Anyway, judging from Gu Chen's contact with Meng Yang, although this guy sometimes goes too far, judging from his actions for just one dollar, he is still kind at heart.
Therefore, even if all the evidence points to Meng Yang, Gu Chen still hopes to find better clues.
"Okay, you stay and continue the search while I and others go find Meng Yang." Qi Tian was also very anxious and felt that this major suspect should be arrested as soon as possible.
"After communicating with the police at the door, the two drove away.
At this time, an old comrade was still in the room, continuing to search for suspicious clues at the scene.
"Senior brother, did you find anything just now?" Gu Chen couldn't help but curiously asked when he saw the other party approaching.
"I found two drinking glasses in the room." After thinking for a few seconds, the old comrade added: "Maybe they haven't had time to clean them after drinking."
Gu Chen didn't say much and walked directly into the room. As the old comrade said, the two used wine glasses were still on the desk.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! There are many imported fine wines on the closet in Boss Meng’s room.
Red wine, white wine, beer, everything.
If Meng Yang is obsessed with the sneaker circle, then Lao Meng should be obsessed with collecting good wine.
It can be said that both father and son have their own interests and hobbies.
Gu Chen walked back to Boss Meng's body, turned on a strong flashlight, and examined Boss Meng's mouth.
As the woman who reported the case said, he did have symptoms of gum inflammation.
Half an hour later...
Qi Tian and another old comrade returned triumphantly and pushed Meng Yang directly into the scene.
"Where is my dad? Where is he?" Meng Yang also seemed shocked by the news of his father's death.
When he found his father lying on the ground, his eyes were stunned, and he immediately shouted and rushed forward, as if to hug his father's body.
"Dad! Dad, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?" Meng Yang shouted very loudly, and his whole body was hysterical.
But Qi Tian and another old comrade grabbed him on the spot.
When the woman who called the police saw this, she couldn't help but take two steps back and hid behind Gu Chen.
"Dad! What happened to my dad? What happened to him?"
Although Qi Tian had informed Meng Yang of his death during the process of arresting him, Meng Yang still couldn't believe it was true.
It wasn't until he saw his father lying on the ground that the emotions in his heart burst out.
"You look like a kid, don't you?" Qi Tian couldn't help but snorted coldly, and said, "Let me ask you, did you come to my house around three o'clock this afternoon?"
"Yes, but so what? Who killed my father?" Meng Yang was still emotional.
Gu Chen, on the other side, had already started recording Meng Yang's answer.
"Your nanny told us that after you came home, you had a big quarrel with your father. Is this the case?" Qi Tian asked again.
Meng Yang was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then said: "Yes... there is such a thing, but what does it mean? Isn't it normal for father and son to quarrel? Do you doubt me just because of the quarrel?"
Seeing that everyone was silent, Meng Yang also said angrily: "What do you mean? Do you doubt me after my father's death?"
After Qi Tian and Gu Chen looked at each other, they took the lead and said: "We have called all the surveillance cameras in the afternoon. Except for the nanny, you were the one at home. The nanny left after you entered the house, so you and your father were the only ones in the room at that time. Could it be that
Isn’t it?”
"I..." Meng Yang suddenly felt at a loss for words and felt that he had fallen into a dead end.
Then I quickly recalled what happened in the afternoon.
"That's right, my father and I wanted to discuss something, so we had a big fight and let the nanny go home first." Meng Yang did not deny it.
"What are you arguing about?" Gu Chen put down the notebook and raised his head to ask him.
"Because of money." Meng Yang obviously recognized Gu Chen and Qi Tian as the police officers he met in the afternoon.
But one code led to another, now it was a murder case, and his father died suddenly, so Meng Yang's reply became serious.
"Because of the sneaker inventory I was managing, I had financial difficulties. I borrowed a lot of money for the previous purchases. However, I had a big quarrel because I had different ideas about running sneakers with my father."
"He thinks that I am fooling around by speculating on shoes. In his impression, mining is the way to go. He wants me to give up all my collections and convert these precious sneakers into cash to save my broken capital chain."
"But that's absolutely impossible. These precious sneakers are my collection, so I won't sell them at a low price."
Speaking of this, Meng Yang glanced at Gu Chen. He knew that Gu Chen understood this, because before going home in the afternoon, he discussed many topics with Gu Chen about the dream of sneakers.
"Then what happened in the end?" Qi Tian asked.
"In the end?" Meng Yang recalled briefly and said, "In the end, we were tired of arguing and sat in the room. He still loved drinking so much, so he took a bottle of wine and started drinking by himself."
"After I saw this situation, I took the opportunity to reason with him. He loves wine and collects wine, just like I love basketball shoes and collect basketball shoes."
"So I instilled this concept into him and told him that everyone is a collector, regardless of each other. Since he loves to collect fine wine, why can't I collect those precious basketball shoes?"
"I showed him my financial statements and told him how I made money in the shoe trading circle. Finally, he relented and agreed to give me a sum of money."
"So what do you mean, you have already received the money?" Gu Chen asked curiously.
Meng Yang nodded and said, "Yes, but the money has to be transferred tomorrow, so I sat down and had a few drinks with my father. When I left, he was still at the door. The nanny usually takes care of the family."
"No wonder you didn't drive away. It was because you were drunk?" Another old comrade also asked.
Meng Yang nodded sharply and said: "Comrade police, although I also like to drink, I will never drink and drive. Please rest assured on this. This is why I don't drive when I have a car, but take a taxi at the intersection.
.”
"But after you left, your father was mysteriously poisoned and died." Qi Tian also explained kindly.
In Qi Tian's opinion, even if the reasons given by Meng Yang were reasonable, in the entire Xiaoyanglou, only Meng Yang had the time to commit the crime.
And judging from the time of Boss Meng's death, it was precisely after Meng Yang left, these suspicions...Qi Tian would not let go at all.
But how Meng Yang committed the crime, Qi Tian now has no clue. Apart from a few small objects found at the scene, he also found no traces of poison.
Moreover, when he arrested Meng Yang outside just now, the experienced Qi Tian even searched Meng Yang's whole body and found no poisonous drugs.
Without absolute evidence, the police could not use Meng Yang's hypothesis as a reference.
"I think we need to call in all kinds of surveillance on Meng Yang from the time he came out of Xiaoyanglou until he was arrested, and try to understand the situation after Meng Yang left." After thinking for a few seconds, Qi Tian thought about the thoughts in his mind.
It also started to become simpler: "The remaining clues are to search the small foreign-style building. I don't believe that no toxic substances can be found."
Qi Tian is determined to find evidence.
When Meng Yang was arrested, he never thought that he would be arrested, so he could not hide the toxic substances.
And if the police can find out Meng Yang's strange behavior along the way, it will be just around the corner to find out the toxic substances.
What is missing now is this part of the surveillance picture...
If not, it must still be hidden in the Xiaoyanglou. As long as he conducts a blanket search of the Xiaoyanglou, Qi Tian will not believe that Meng Yang does not admit it.
"Take Meng Yang back first and ask someone to come and dispose of the body. Let's go back to the police station to discuss other matters." Qi Tian lowered his head and looked at his watch. It was not suitable for a small number of police officers to search at night.
We can only hope to send out a large number of police officers after dawn to conduct a blanket search, which may yield huge results.
Even if Meng Yang doesn't plead guilty now, he will cry when the time comes.
Meng Yang was taken into a police car and returned to Haitang Police Station.
The Meng family's small foreign-style building has also been temporarily closed, and no one is allowed to enter without authorization.
Gu Chen sat alone in the office, using the master's level of logical reasoning in his mind to start combining and splicing various clues.
However, what left Gu Chen clueless was that based on the current situation, he could not deduce how Boss Meng was poisoned and killed.
Qi Tian came to the office with a tired look. Seeing that Gu Chen was still there, he couldn't help but step forward and said, "Why don't you go and have a rest? We will investigate this case again tomorrow. We won't be able to find the answer tonight."
"Senior Brother Qi, who do you think the suspect is?" Gu Chen suddenly asked him.
"Do I need to say this? It must be Meng Yang." Qi Tian said.
"Why?" Gu Chen asked again.
"Is there any need to ask? The time of death, the place of death, and the conflict between Meng Yang and his father are all enough to prove that the murderer is Meng Yang."
"And before our police entered Meng's house, the last two people Boss Meng came into contact with were the woman who reported the crime and Meng Yang."
"But the woman who reported the crime left before Meng Yang. This just shows that Meng Yang has a crime that cannot be evaded."
After some rhetoric, Qi Tian was quite proud of his reasoning.
In other words, this is an attempt to use surveillance footage to retrieve important information about the suspect.
"I think it's too early to judge now." Just when Qi Tian looked proud, Gu Chen directly poured a basin of cold water on him and said: "Maybe there is a third possibility, the one who poisoned Boss Meng.
The person may be Boss Meng himself."
"What?" Qi Tian was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to calm down and say: "Gu... Gu Chen, are you crazy? Who would kill himself? Even if you have imagination, you must have evidence.
Right?"
Qi Tian looked at Gu Chen strangely, feeling that this bold assumption really shocked him.
But after I calmed down and analyzed Gu Chen's words carefully, I suddenly felt that there was a little bit of truth in it.
"Eh? Gu Chen, hearing what you said opened up another idea." Qi Tian picked up the pen and paper on the table and began to write down the three people on the paper.
"The woman who reported the crime can basically be ruled out because of all the known conditions, she did not have the time to commit the crime and she had no motive."
After crossing out the woman who reported the crime, Qi Tian put a big question mark between Meng Yang and his father, Boss Meng: "But the problem is, if it is true as Meng Yang said, he just had a big quarrel with his father.
Later, the two of them drank together in harmony, so could it be that there was something wrong with the wine?"
"Brother Qi, you finally figured it out." Gu Chen also laughed dryly, took the writing pen from Qi Tian's hand, and wrote down the symptoms of Boss Meng's death under his name.
"Boss Meng's lips were purple and he died of poisoning. We found a bottle of medicine at the scene. Do you remember?" Gu Chen asked.
"Yes... there is a bottle. It seems to be a medicine for treating gum inflammation, right?" Qi Tian said.
This is the information I got from the woman who called the police. She bought the medicine.
"Yes, I have read the instructions on the bottle. It is a cephalosporin antibiotic." Gu Chen took the bottle in the evidence collection bag and said, "This is the key to the problem."
Qi Tian was suddenly stunned for a moment, and asked weakly: "Could it be that... there is something wrong with the medicine? That means that the woman who bought the medicine is also an important suspect, is that right?"
Gu Chen didn't say anything, but wrote cephalosporin antibiotics under Boss Meng's name, and then another substance...
