The room seemed to be airtight and the air seemed turbid, but Gu Chen smelled a corpse stench.
Having often dealt with corpses, this smell made Gu Chen a little scared.
"Could it be that these people are all in the room..."
As if he couldn't imagine it, Gu Chen continued to walk inside, and at this time, Gu Chen found four men lying in a mess around the sofa.
Everyone seemed extremely quiet.
There were some unfinished barbecue and beers on the coffee table, but judging from the taste, these foods had expired for a while.
"Junior Brother Gu." When seeing such a scene, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but exclaimed, but was quickly interrupted by Gu Chen reaching out.
"Don't panic, don't go in yet." At this moment, Gu Chen had realized that the living room seemed to have become a crime scene.
Judging from the expressions of the four men, it seemed that they had stopped breathing for a long time.
At this moment, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha seemed to have understood what was happening.
Everyone started looking for disposable foot covers and started putting them on their shoes.
When the landlord man at the door saw this posture, he had an ominous premonition, but he was blocked at the door and could not go in.
"You guys stay at the door first." Due to limited footwear, Gu Chen could only ask Gao Hu, He Qian, and the landlord to stay at the door.
He took Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha to the living room.
Upon inspection, it turned out that everyone was no longer breathing.
When seeing such a scene, everyone's faces became stiff.
"It's a symptom of poisoning." Gu Chen frowned, and he could already see that several people had obvious symptoms of poisoning.
Officer Wang immediately began to search the surrounding area.
Not long after, Officer Wang came out of the room, walked up to Gu Chen and said, "There is another person in the room who has also died."
After hearing Officer Wang's words, Gu Chen immediately walked towards the room again.
Pushing open the door of the big room, at this moment, the man named Azhong was lying on the bed.
Judging from the symptoms, it seems to be exactly the same as those of the people in the living room.
"How could this happen?" Gu Chen frowned. This sudden situation was indeed unexpected.
At this time, Gao Hu and He Qian, who were standing at the door, also instantly understood the situation inside.
Everyone's mental state was highly tense, and it seemed that they had never thought that a mass poisoning would occur here.
"Inform Gao Chuanfeng from the Technical Section of the Municipal Bureau and ask him to send someone over." Gu Chen took a deep breath and felt the clues in his hand. It seemed that he had lost hope at this moment.
I originally thought that if I found Ah Zhong, I might be able to find the whereabouts of Xu Yaxuan.
But now, these people died mysteriously in a suite in Jiangnan City.
"Dead? How did the residents inside die? Are they all dead?" The landlord man who observed the situation at the door was so frightened that his face turned blue. He was about to cry because of the situation inside. He stood at the door and choked with sobs.
said:
"Hey, how can we do this? If so many residents die in a nice house, it will become a haunted house in the future. Who will dare to rent it in the future? It will not be easy to sell."
The landlord at the door was thinking quietly, while Gu Chen and others inside the house continued to examine the body.
Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha were responsible for searching every corner of the room to see if there were any other suspicious items.
Officer Wang returned to the police car downstairs and retrieved some disposable evidence collection bags, tweezers and other tools that came with the car.
When he returned to the living room, Gu Chen, who was wearing disposable gloves, began to inspect the items on the table after taking photos and collecting evidence at the scene.
"Gu Chen." Officer Wang handed the tweezers and evidence bag to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen took the tweezers, picked up the skewers on the coffee table, and put them in front of his eyes to observe.
Then Gu Chen found some drinks and beers on the table, placed them in front of him and observed them.
Not long after, Gu Chen put one of the cans of beer to the tip of his nose and took a sniff.
Since the can of beer was only a third full, Gu Chen could detect something strange through the smell of the beer:
"There seems to be poison in the beer," Gu Chen said.
"Is there poison in the beer?" After hearing what Gu Chen said, Officer Wang's eyes lit up. He also put on disposable gloves, took one of the cans of beer in his hand, put it in a suitable position on his nose, and fanned it with his palm.
But after half a day, Officer Wang showed no reaction at all.
Lu Weiwei, who came back from the inspection, saw this and asked Officer Wang: "Old Wang, do you smell anything?"
"Uh...this..."
After hesitating for a moment, Officer Wang quickly defended himself: "I've had a cold recently and my nose is stuffy, but I can't smell anything."
"Then we can only ask Gao Chuanfeng from the Technical Department of the Municipal Bureau to come over for testing." Yuan Shasha said.
"Several people died three days ago, and the time of death was probably three nights ago, between 8 and 10 o'clock."
Gu Chen used his master-level observation skills and made a rough judgment after studying the characteristics of everyone's death situations.
Gao Hu, who was standing at the door to maintain order, asked: "Has there been any fighting between the few of them?"
"We haven't found anything yet. We need to take the body back to the examination room of the technical department for an autopsy before we can make a final conclusion."
It was not convenient for Gu Chen to do an autopsy on site right now, so he could only wait for Gao Chuanfeng from the Technical Department of the Municipal Bureau to come over.
In order to reassure Gao Hu, Gu Chen also gave a preliminary inference:
"Judging from the current situation of several people, the fight... did not happen."
"These people may have drank the poisonous beer, which led to collective poisoning."
"However, according to my inference, the toxicity should be relatively strong, and it is very likely that someone deliberately poisoned it."
"Deliberate poisoning?" After hearing Gu Chen's explanation, He Qian became a little anxious and quickly said:
"They are so good, who is going to have trouble with them? They are all from Xiangnan City. They don't seem to have any enemies with anyone here in Jiangnan City, right?"
"This is really hard to say." Officer Wang shook his head and expressed his opinion:
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Judging from the current situation, it is very complicated. These few people came here from Shonan City."
"Moreover, I rented a room here. What do you want to do? I must be here to do something."
"The most important thing for us now is to figure out the real purpose of their coming to Jiangnan City."
"That's right." As soon as Officer Wang finished speaking, Gu Chen also expressed his opinion:
"They have a good relationship with Xu Tianxia, and now Xu Tianxia fell from a tall building inexplicably."
"And these people suddenly left Shonan City and came here to rent a house. Their behavior is extremely suspicious."
"Now, these people are suddenly poisoned collectively, and the poison is very strong."
"This shows that someone wanted to kill them, so they chose to poison them."
"But who is the key person?" Gao Hu said.
"People related to Xu Tianxia's death." Gu Chen didn't dare to say that before, but based on all the situations that happened now, Gu Chen felt that there was a high probability that it was related to Xu Tianxia's death.
"Damn it, what the hell is going on?" Gao Hu was so angry that he started swearing.
Lu Weiwei quickly comforted them: "Officer Gao, don't be anxious now. There's no point in being anxious. The most important thing for us now is to figure out how these people were poisoned? Who is poisoning them?"
"These all need a timeline to sort out. After all, they are very close to Xu Tianxia."
With a faint sigh, Lu Weiwei continued: "I always feel that there are some secrets hidden behind these people."
"I even suspect that these people came to Jiangnan City to avoid the limelight."
"Maybe Xu Tianxia's death made them panic, so they hid here to rent a house, but they didn't pay attention to food safety and were secretly poisoned."
"Then we must find the murderer as soon as possible, especially investigate the drinks and food to see where they bought them from." He Qian at the door was also a little impatient.
It feels like the suspects that everyone worked so hard to find are now dead here. This makes it difficult for everyone to calm down.
The successive setbacks made everyone's morale fall to the bottom.
…
…
Not long after, there was a movement of vehicles outside, and soon Gu Chen heard Gao Chuanfeng's movement outside the window.
At this moment, Gu Chen had also finished communicating with He Junchao on the phone, asking He Junchao to help trace the location where these people bought food.
"Gu Chen." Not long after, forensic doctor Gao Chuanfeng led his assistants to the door of the scene.
"Come in." Gu Chen said.
Gao Chuanfeng and others immediately began to put on shoe covers, gloves, masks and headgear.
After completing all the operations, he walked to Gu Chen and looked at the four men lying on the sofa.
"They all died from poisoning. I suspect someone poisoned this beer. You can take it back for testing." Gu Chen had actually completed the preliminary testing for forensic doctor Gao Chuanfeng.
At this time, Gao Chuanfeng only needed to complete the finishing work according to Gu Chen's prompts.
This is a tacit understanding between the two of them.
"I understand, you guys, hurry up." Gao Chuanfeng did not need to take action himself at all, and ordered several forensic assistants around him to complete the operation.
Gu Chen and others retreated to the door.
"Gu Bureau, the murderer must hurry up, because a few days have passed since the death, and the murderer may have already escaped."
"However, you must not let it go. We must track down the murderer. We are very pressed for time now."
"Don't worry, Officer Gao. As long as there are results from our investigation, I will notify you as soon as possible."
Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen also turned to look at the forensic assistant team in the room, and also reminded:
"By the way, there is another one in the room, remember."
"No problem, leave this place to us." Hearing Gu Chen's words, forensic doctor Gao Chuanfeng also agreed.
Afterwards, Gu Chen's team collectively exited the room and prepared to go downstairs to wait for other results.
Since a large number of people gathered here, Gu Chen needed to make room.
Arriving at the entrance of the unit building downstairs, Gu Chen and others stood casually around the nearby garden.
At this time, Gu Chen took out his cell phone, glanced at it, and put it back into his pocket.
But at this moment, the phone’s ringtone just happened to ring again.
Without saying anything, Gu Chen took out his phone again and opened the answer button: "Senior Brother He."
"Gu Chen, I have already checked. According to the death timeline you gave, I checked the barbecue stalls near Luyuan Community and found that these people were indeed in a barbecue restaurant in the evening.
Lots of barbecue.”
"And their drinks all come from the small shop next to the barbecue restaurant."
"What's the name of the barbecue restaurant?" Gu Chen asked.
"Ah Jin BBQ." He Junchao said on the phone.
"Is there only one store next to it?" Gu Chen asked.
"Yes, there is a store on the left side of Ah Jin BBQ and a restaurant on the right side."
"One of them here went to the store on the left to buy something."
"Not long after entering, the man came out with a bag, and then the group returned to their residence in Luyuan Community together."
"Okay, send me the location." After hearing this explanation, Gu Chen quickly urged.
"It has been sent to you, remember to check it."
"Thank you, Senior Brother He."
…
After the two communicated briefly, Gu Chen hung up the phone.
At this time, Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha also gathered around them instantly.
Gao Hu and He Qian also gathered around Gu Chen.
"Ajin BBQ is just 50 meters to the left of the gate of Luyuan Community. The beer was bought from the store on the left." Gu Chen repeated the message that He Junchao had just sent to him.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go quickly." Gao Hu was very anxious now and didn't want to waste a moment.
Everyone did not hesitate and went out directly from the gate of Luyuan Community, then walked 50 meters to the left and came to the canteen.
This store is not big, but there are many products in it.
Maybe it's because it's backed by the surrounding restaurants, so business is pretty good.
The boss, a middle-aged woman, was playing with her mobile phone at the moment and didn't seem to see Gu Chen and the others at the door at all.
"Boss lady." Gu Chen reminded.
"Ah?" The landlady turned around and saw Gu Chen, she also smiled: "Isn't this Officer Gu? Why are you here?"
"Handling the case." Gu Chen just answered casually, then walked to the shelf, picked up a can of beer and put it on the cashier.
The proprietress looked at Gu Chen and then said jokingly: "Officer Gu, you are handling a case and you are still drinking? Although this beer has a low alcohol concentration, it is still wine. You might as well have some drinks."
The proprietress also reminded her kindly, thinking that Gu Chen had taken away the goods.
After all, there are many police officers who come to the store to buy a glass of water or a bottle of drink, so they are afraid that Gu Chen will violate disciplines during work.
But Gu Chen pointed to the can of beer and asked: "Where did you buy this can of beer? Is this kind of beer sold in Jiangnan City?"
After all, when Gu Chen saw the packaging of beer cans, he felt that this kind of pattern was rare and did not seem like a popular brand.
After all, my family runs a non-staple food wholesale supermarket.
