Police cars and public vehicles were intertwined around the vegetable patch, and the entire area was crowded with people.
Many auxiliary police officers began to evacuate the surrounding people, and the cordon expanded outwards in circles.
In the end, the crowd was nearly 30 meters away from the scene.
At the same time, police officers were constantly coming to support him.
Beside the river, Gu Chen carefully recorded Lao Bai's statement. He was the first witness to discover the body and the clue provider.
His every word and deed will play a key role in the case.
"That is to say, you were near the river two days ago and saw a tall, thin man and a woman talking nearby? Can you be sure that the woman at that time was the body now?"
"No...can't." Lao Bai waved his hand and said nervously: "If I had seen clearly at that time, I would definitely tell you who it was, but it was already late at that time, the sun had set, and the light was not good."
"Besides, after I finished watering the vegetables, I just wanted to go home and eat quickly, so I didn't pay too much attention. But what's certain is that I definitely don't recognize that man. I've never seen him here before."
"Can you see his face clearly?" Gu Chen asked again.
Lao Bai still frowned, his face a little heavy. After thinking for a few seconds, he shook his head: "I can't remember exactly what he looked like. He seemed to be wearing a peaked cap with the brim pressed very low. I thought it was this piece.
Where is the developer of the land?”
"After all, this vegetable plot itself has been sold, but the developer has not started construction, and it is close to a river, so we locals came here to temporarily build some vegetable plots."
Lao Bai's answer was rather vague or unclear.
Based on these clues alone, it would be difficult to determine the basic characteristics of this stranger.
So Gu Chen turned the notebook to the last page, faced the place where the female body was dug up, and asked: "Mr. Bai, where was the approximate location where you saw the two strangers two days ago?"
"Over there." Lao Bai pointed to an empty tunnel.
"Very good." Gu Chen took out a shorter drawing pen from his pocket and began to trace the outline on the white paper.
"What was the approximate height of the man at that time, the height of the woman, and what they were wearing at the time..."
Gu Chen began to inquire in detail about the specific physical characteristics of the two people.
Although Lao Bai was a little confused, under Gu Chen's guidance, he could still roughly recall the physical characteristics of the two people.
About ten minutes passed, and Gu Chen had already presented the scene that Lao Bai saw that night in the form of a hand drawing.
"Take a look." Gu Chen showed the transcript to Lao Bai and said, "Is it like this?"
"Huh?" Lao Bai looked at the drawing and couldn't help but be shocked. Then he said to Gu Chen: "Comrade policeman, your drawing looks like it."
"That's what it means?" Gu Chen asked.
Lao Bai nodded: "It's very close. The proportions of the two people's bodies are roughly like this."
"And these clothes." Lao Bai suddenly narrowed his eyes and moved his head closer: "Yes, this man was wearing this style of leather jacket at that time, exactly like the one you drew."
"Thank you very much." Gu Chen took back the transcript, shook hands with Lao Bai and said, "If you still remember anything, please remember to call our Criminal Investigation Team Three. This is our phone number."
Gu Chen handed him a business card with the fixed phone number of the Furong Branch Criminal Investigation Team 3 and said, "Just ask Officer Gu and they will know."
"Yes, Officer Gu." Lao Bai took the business card and began to hold it in his hand and observe it.
Over there, a commercial police car also drove in from outside the cordon. Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei both took the initiative to step forward to greet them, and Gu Chen also quickened his pace to follow.
After the commercial police car stopped firmly on the side of the road, forensic doctor Liu walked out of the car with his forensic assistant and a toolbox.
"Forensic Doctor Liu." Officer Wang took the initiative to say hello: "You are here."
"What's the situation at the scene?" Forensic Doctor Liu didn't stop too much and walked directly past Officer Wang and towards the target area.
Gu Chen followed and introduced: "Preliminary inference is that the deceased was a woman around 65 years old. The cause of death was that she was injured by a sharp object and died of excessive blood loss. Moreover, the deceased was the 'Aunt Mei' we had been looking for before.
'."
When he heard Gu Chen's explanation, the walking forensic doctor Liu suddenly stopped, looked at Gu Chen incredulously, and asked, "Is it Aunt Mei?"
"Yes, it's her." Gu Chen confirmed again.
"Alas! This guy has done all kinds of bad things. I didn't expect such retribution. She deserves it." Forensic Doctor Liu sighed, pointed forward and said, "Come on, take me to see it."
Gu Chen then led the way and brought forensic doctor Liu and his assistant to Zhang Xiaomei's body.
Gu Chen said: "This should be the first scene. Witnesses have seen that two strangers came here two days ago. One of them looked very similar to the deceased Zhang Xiaomei, so I initially inferred that the deceased may have been two days ago."
He was killed here the night before."
"Yes!" Forensic Doctor Liu nodded, and then added: "What you said may make sense, but whether she was killed two days ago, I still need to take her back to the technical department for further testing."
"Then I'll ask forensic doctor Liu." Officer Wang said.
Everyone conducted a preliminary handover on site...
After forensic doctor Liu inspected the scene, he put Zhang Xiaomei's body into a body bag and carried it into a commercial vehicle with the help of several auxiliary police officers.
Afterwards, the crowd began to evacuate, and Gu Chen, along with Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei, returned to the Group Three office with clues.
In the office of Group Three.
Gu Chen took out the whiteboard, fastened the portrait he had hand-drawn on the spot with a colorful magnet, turned to Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei, who were sitting side by side, and asked: "Brother Wang, Senior Sister Lu, who do you think this man could be?"
"It can't be Zhang Wenqing, right?" Lu Weiwei held her cheek and asked with a slight frown: "I feel that both the figure and the back are a bit like the accountant Zhang Wenqing we met at the Zhangjia Village Committee in Meishan Town a few days ago.
They are similar."
"Well, that's right." Officer Wang agreed, "According to the body proportions in your portrait, it is indeed somewhat similar to Zhang Wenqing, but..."
Officer Wang turned his attention to Gu Chen again and asked him: "But Gu Chen, is your hand drawing accurate?"
"Based on what the eyewitness Lao Bai said, it was basically restored. I also showed it to him and confirmed it again and again. According to the eyewitness Lao Bai's own words, the similarity is close to 80%, so I think it should be
It’s not a big problem.”
"Junior Brother Gu, if it were you, what do you think?" Lu Weiwei also wanted to hear Gu Chen's opinion.
Gu Chen laughed and said: "Actually, when I was painting at the time, based on the statement of the eyewitness Lao Bai, I had already connected the image of this strange man with Zhang Wenqing, the accountant of the Zhangjia Village Committee in Meishan Town."
"Later on, the more I drew, the more similar I became, and it became what it is now. So generally speaking, I drew it based on Zhang Wenqing's general expression. No wonder the eyewitness Lao Bai said that the similarity is very high. I think this matter should be
It has nothing to do with Zhang Wenqing."
"You mean... Zhang Xiaomei most likely died in the hands of Zhang Wenqing?" Officer Wang's eyes lit up, as if he got a clue from Gu Chen's words.
"That's right." Gu Chen took out the painting pen in his hand, circled the man in the painting and said, "This stranger is most likely the murderer, and according to the statement of the eyewitness Lao Bai at the time, it was the man who led the woman here.
If you go to the river, it means that the two of you are acquaintances."
After looking at Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei, Gu Chen added: "Just imagine, as a marginalized figure in Zhangjia Village, how many acquaintances does Zhang Xiaomei have in the village? It shouldn't be many, right?"
Lu Weiwei nodded and said humbly: "According to the attitude of the people in Zhangjia Village towards her, there should be no close friends. These villagers didn't look down on Zhang Xiaomei before."
"And according to what Zhang Wenqing said at the time, Zhang Xiaomei had some problems with her lifestyle at the time, so her relationship with the women in Zhangjiacun has always been tense."
"Even if she has made some money in other places now, maybe everyone's view of her has changed, but I don't think it is possible to accept Zhang Xiaomei."
"But for such a marginalized character, she, Zhang Xiaomei, has a very good relationship with Zhang Wenqing, the accountant of the village committee, and Zhang Wenqing also holds the key to Zhang Xiaomei's home."
"In this way, the only person I can think of who has a good relationship with Zhang Xiaomei is Zhang Wenqing. Of course, maybe there is a strange man in Zhangjiacun who has a very similar figure to the one in Junior Brother Gu's picture?"
Seeing that Lu Weiwei expressed his opinion, Officer Wang quickly said: "I agree with Lu Weiwei's opinion. We can start the investigation from Zhang Wenqing. After all, this is a person in the village who knows Zhang Xiaomei's situation very well."
"Even if it's not Zhang Wenqing, we can use Zhang Wenqing's knowledge of the people in the village to check other people to see if there are any men with similar builds and behaviors."
Gu Chen nodded and continued to add: "According to the witness Lao Bai, this man's behavior seems to be extremely indifferent, and the woman suspected of being Zhang Xiaomei seems to be like a subordinate in front of her."
"And the conversation between the two always started with the strange man facing the river, while the woman stood behind him, as if reporting work. Of course, there were some quarrels between the two."
"It was precisely because of these behaviors that the witness at the time, Lao Bai, mistakenly thought the two were developers and thought they were discussing land development."
"Gu Chen, what you said is very important." Officer Wang suddenly sat up straight and said excitedly: "From this point of view, we can see a few things."
"First, if the woman at that time was the deceased Zhang Xiaomei, then this man was obviously her boss."
"Second, this man is extremely arrogant and conceited. He seems to be able to completely control the woman. Therefore, he turns his back to the woman even when he talks. This shows that the relationship between the two is not an equal relationship at all, but a superior-subordinate relationship."
"Thirdly, the fact that the man invited the woman to such a remote vegetable field to talk is very telling. It shows that the man had murderous intentions at the time. In other words, the woman had something very serious that threatened the man's safety.
"
"So, in order to protect himself, the man would ask the woman out on an excuse, and finally commit the murder at night to cover up others' deception."
After all, Officer Wang is an old comrade, and he can still accurately analyze some issues.
Gu Chen couldn't help but clapped his hands and said, "Senior Brother Wang said it very well."
"Haha, no, no, it's the clues provided by you, Gu Chen." Officer Wang also learned Gu Chen's humility and stopped being pretentious.
Lu Weiwei also quickly said: "That means everyone has the same opinion? This Zhang Wenqing is probably Zhang Xiaomei's upline, right?"
Gu Chen nodded.
Officer Wang nodded.
Lu Weiwei snapped her fingers and said, "Junior brother Gu said before that Zhang Wenqing looked like he was acting. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now based on your analysis, I think there is really a big problem with Zhang Wenqing."
Gu Chen nodded and said: "The most important thing now is the results from forensic doctor Liu. As long as we can determine the specific time of death of the deceased Zhang Xiaomei, we can launch a targeted investigation into Zhang Wenqing."
"Then we will conduct an investigation based on Zhang Wenqing's location at that time. If he had been to the vegetable field at the time of the deceased's death, he must be suspected." Officer Wang quickly added.
"Yes!" Gu Chen also smiled: "Now it's up to Forensic Doctor Liu."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Chen's cell phone on the table rang.
He quickly picked up the phone and took a look, and it showed that it was forensic doctor Liu.
Gu Chen showed the screen to Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei, and said with a smile: "Forensic Doctor Liu may also be of Cao Cao's attributes. This call was very timely."
"There must be results. After all, Liu's forensic testing experience has made it impossible for him to keep a low profile. He can judge the time of death in many ways." Lu Weiwei also believes that this is good news.
Gu Chen didn't care too much and directly clicked on speakerphone, then put the phone on the table and said: "Forensic Doctor Liu, what are the results of your investigation?"
"Gu Chen, as you judged, the deceased was indeed injured by a sharp weapon. The cause of death was excessive blood loss. He was buried in the soil by the murderer after death." What forensic doctor Liu said was consistent with Gu Chen's original conclusion.
"What about the time of death?" Gu Chen quickly asked again.
"The time of death should be two days ago, probably... between 7pm and 9pm. This is the minimum time range that I can judge. I will issue a test report to you later," Forensic Doctor Liu said.
Gu Chen smiled happily: "It's good to have this time. Thank you, Forensic Doctor Liu."
"You're welcome. Based on what you said, I will notify you of the results as soon as possible and submit them after the report." Forensic Doctor Liu also smiled.
After the two parties exchanged polite greetings, they simply hung up the phone.
"There are results." Gu Chen quickly opened the transcript and filled in the time range of death in the bottom corner at the back of the transcript.
"That means we can now investigate the suspect Zhang Wenqing based on this time period." Lu Weiwei said.
Officer Wang stood up directly, started to pick up the equipment on the wall, and responded with a smile: "You know, why don't you hurry up?"
…
…
An hour later, Gu Chen drove to the gate of Zhangjia Village Committee in Meishan Town again.
At this moment, a fat man walked out with documents.
He turned around and checked with the people inside the house several times before walking towards a pickup truck outside the house.
When I saw the police arriving, I was suddenly stunned.
"Is Zhang Wenqing here?" Gu Chen walked up directly and asked the fat man.
"Yes... yes." The fat man quickly turned around and shouted into the room: "Wenqing! Wenqing!"
"What's the matter?" Zhang Wenqing complained from inside the house.
"A comrade from the police is looking for you." The fat man continued to say loudly, and then drove away in a pickup truck...
At this time, I noticed a tall and thin man inside the house and quickly walked to the door to check the situation.
Seeing that Gu Chen and the others were the three policemen who came to the village committee to question Zhang Xiaomei last time, Zhang Wenqing hurriedly went out to greet him: "Hey? Aren't these the three police comrades who came to our village committee last time? What? They are here to ask questions this time too.
The whereabouts of Zhang Xiaomei?”
Gu Chen looked at Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang beside him, but neither of them responded immediately.
Seeing that the police did not say anything, Zhang Wenqing felt quite embarrassed and immediately said: "I'm sorry, comrade police, the Zhang Xiaomei you are looking for, she...she hasn't been back recently. If she comes back, I will personally send her to you, Furong."
Go to the branch, what do you think?"
Zhang Wenqing was quite polite and he could still remember what the police told him.
Gu Chen smiled and said, "No need, we have found this Zhang Xiaomei."
"Wha...what? Have you found it already?" Also startled by Gu Chen's words, Zhang Wenqing's face froze and he asked weakly: "Since you have found Zhang Xiaomei, then, fellow police officers, come here.
What to do?"
"Let me tell you this." Officer Wang walked up to Zhang Wenqing leisurely with his hands behind his back and said, "We found Zhang Xiaomei, but unfortunately, when we found her, she was already a corpse."
"Dead...dead?" Zhang Wenqing was also shocked, holding his forehead in disbelief: "This...such a good person, why did he suddenly die?"
He looked at Gu Chen, then at Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei, and asked weakly: "Police... Comrade police, what on earth is going on? Why did Zhang Xiaomei die? Who is it?
Did it?"
It was also seen that Zhang Wenqing was overly shocked. It seemed that he was also shocked when he heard the news.
Gu Chen did not continue talking about Zhang Xiaomei, but said lightly: "We are a little thirsty, can you get us some water?"
When Gu Chen suddenly changed the subject, Zhang Wenqing was stunned for a moment, and then quickly calmed down and said: "Yes... yes, there is tea in the office. I will make it for you right now. You three please come in."
Just like last time, Zhang Wenqing at this moment was extremely respectful towards the police and immediately led everyone to the accounting office.
He took out a can of tea from the bookcase, brewed it for the three of them, and placed it in front of them. Then he asked: "Comrade police, how did Zhang Xiaomei die?"
