When Yao Xin's father heard this, he cried "Wow" again.
"Who is so cruel? Want to use this method to deal with my daughter? I will never let him go and make him pay the price."
After saying that, Yao Xin's father lay next to his daughter and cried loudly again.
But at this moment, Gu Chen turned his attention to Yao Xin's mother and Yao Xin's brother, Xiaozhengtai Yao Gang, who were always sitting at the door.
The two of them never entered the house from beginning to end...
Yao Xin's mother sat blankly at the door, staring blankly at the ground.
As for the young lady, Yao Gang, he was holding a small basketball alone and didn't even know the pain of his sister leaving.
After being sad for a while, Yao Xin's father suddenly stood up and came to Gu Chen and said: "Officer Gu, when I found my daughter Yao Xin, her clothes looked like this. Will she be bullied by the murderer?
?You must make the decision for my Yao family."
"Don't be sad first." Gu Chen was not very good at comforting others, so he could only look at Wu Qian and Lu Weiwei.
Wu Qian stepped forward with understanding, put her hand on Yao Xin's father's shoulders and said, "Mr. Yao, don't be sad yet. The matter will be investigated and come to light. Please trust the police."
"I don't want to believe anyone, I just want my daughter." Yao Xin's father was also heartbroken at this moment.
At this moment, Forensic Doctor Liu also received the notice and came to the scene with his assistant.
When he walked into the hall, he saw a group of people comforting Yao Xin's father, and they also pulled Gu Chen aside.
"Gu Chen, what's going on here?" Forensic Doctor Liu asked
"Forensic Doctor Liu." Gu Chen handed him the flashlight wrapped in a transparent evidence bag and said, "The little girl was hit hard on the head with a blunt object, and that blunt object is the thing in my hand.
"
"Also, the little girl has strangulation marks on her neck. Judging from the facial features of the little girl, it seems that she died of suffocation."
"Take me to have a look." Forensic Doctor Liu said.
Later, the two men came to the scene and examined the deceased Yao Xin again.
Just as Gu Chen said, the experienced forensic doctor Liu quickly concluded that the little girl did die of suffocation, but her clothes were disheveled and there were obvious signs of being torn.
But in order to further confirm, Forensic Doctor Liu turned to Gu Chen and said, "I think it's better to take the deceased back to the technical department and use professional instruments to test it again."
"Okay, but please wait for a while." He was also afraid that Yao Xin's father would be resistant, after all, he had cried several times just now.
However, in order to conduct in-depth examination of the body, sometimes the consent of the family members is required, so after some persuasion by Gu Chen, Yao Xin's father nodded in agreement.
Subsequently, the forensic assistant and another auxiliary police officer put Yao Xin's body into a body bag and moved it into the commercial vehicle together.
After a brief communication with Yao Xin's family, in addition to leaving some police officers to continue searching for clues, Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and police officers Wang followed forensic doctor Liu and rushed to the technical section of the city bureau to wait for the results.
In order not to disturb Forensic Doctor Liu, the three of them were in the waiting room next door.
Officer Wang took the newspaper and flipped through it casually, while Lu Weiwei held her chin and kept staring at Gu Chen, while Gu Chen was thinking seriously.
After a series of investigations at Yao Xin's home, Gu Chen became more and more suspicious of Yao Xin's family, and therefore fell into the same confusion as before.
The 50-50 reason was that my family had doubts about Yao Xin's mother before, but at that time Yao Xin was just kidnapped, but now the situation is completely different.
What happened to Yao Xin was that Gu Chen's previous 50-50 conclusion suffered a major blow.
After all, who would do this to their own daughter? Not only did she hit her head with a blunt object, but she also strangled her neck with a telescope.
There are no such cruel parents in the world.
But when he thought about it, the trouble in the small room in the basement made Gu Chen return to his previous speculation.
The reason is very simple, the murderer definitely did not break in through the window.
The broken glass and the footprints of military boots on the ground showed that someone was deliberately faking the scene.
The only people who may come in and out of Yao Xin's house at will are probably the nanny and Wu Qian.
But yesterday, Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang had all conducted investigations. When the crime occurred, several of them had alibi certificates.
Wu Qian was indeed discussing work with her assistant, and she never left her studio.
The nanny was on vacation that day and had been spending time with her family and neighbors. This is completely provable.
Excluding these two important people who can enter and exit the Yao family villa at will, it seems that it is almost impossible for others to enter and exit the Yao family villa at will, not to mention that there is no key to the Yao family villa.
In this way, the most suspicious people that Gu Chen could think of were Yao Xin's parents.
After all, the kidnapping letter only had about 400 words in total, and there were 100 similarities.
No matter how it is changed, Yao Xin’s mother’s writing habits will always remain with her.
And from Gu Chen's repeated reasoning, it can be concluded that the person who wrote the kidnapping letter should be a woman over 30 years old.
From this point of view, only Yao Xin's mother has these characteristics.
"Why? What is her motive?" Gu Chen suddenly muttered to himself, holding his head and thinking over and over: "No reason, no reason. Yao Xin is the money tree of the family, and the family has always gotten along well.
But is it necessary for Yao Xin’s mother to kill her own child?”
Thinking of this, Gu Chen began to have some deep self-doubt: "Did I make a mistake in my reasoning? Did I suspect the wrong person from the beginning?"
"Who would smash Yao Xin's head with a blunt instrument? Who would strangle Yao Xin with a rope? Her parents? No, no, absolutely impossible, but who could it be if it weren't Yao Xin's parents? There are other people in the Yao family
Who? Wait..."
Thinking of this, Gu Chen suddenly remembered that in addition to Yao Xin and her parents, the Yao family also had an older brother, Yao Gang, who was indifferent to his sister's death.
"But... Yao Gang is only two years older than his sister Yao Xin, and he is still a child. How could it be?"
Seeing that Gu Chen was talking to himself all the time, she was staring at Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, and she suddenly asked out of curiosity: "Junior brother Gu, you... what's wrong with you?"
"I feel like my head is about to short-circuit. I may have gone in the wrong direction." Gu Chen didn't know how to explain it at the moment.
Seeing Lu Weiwei's curious eyes and his nonsensical reasoning, Gu Chen was a little confused.
When Officer Wang saw this, he immediately put down the newspaper and asked Gu Chen, "If you have any troubles, you might as well tell them."
Also starting from yesterday, I discovered that Gu Chen had something on his mind. At first, Officer Wang didn't dare to ask, just for fear of disturbing Gu Chen. Maybe there were some ideas in Gu Chen's mind.
But now it seems that Gu Chen's worries are getting more and more serious, as if he has encountered a problem.
This was extremely rare in the years when I worked with Gu Chen.
So Officer Wang asked him straight to the point.
"Senior Brother Wang, Senior Sister Lu." Gu Chen also looked at him and Lu Weiwei, and explained all his previous thoughts to them.
After listening to Gu Chen's analysis, Lu Weiwei was instantly dumbfounded: "What? Do you suspect that the murderer is Yao Xin's family? Her parents, her mother, and her brother?"
"Aren't you just kidding?" After hearing this, Officer Wang shook his head repeatedly and said, "How can any parent want to kill their own child? Didn't you realize that we went to the Jiangnan City Amusement Park that day? In his father's mind, Yao Xin was
What status? It was almost like being surrounded from the front and the back."
"Yao Xin is a cash cow and a darling to the Yao family. Moreover, under the guidance of Wu Qian, Yao Xin is also a good child who is well-educated and sensible."
"For such a future star, the pride of the family, you suspect that the murderer is her parents and brother. This...it doesn't make sense."
Officer Wang was actually a little angry. After all, Gu Chen's ability in previous reasoning and handling of cases was remarkable.
Even in this current case, Gu Chen was able to deduce through the kidnapping letter that the murderer might have drafted it.
In the small room in the basement, it can be deduced that the footprints in the room are likely to be forged, and the method of entering the room is also forged.
But even if this is the case, leave the investigation of the murderer to Yao Xin’s family.
Not to mention Police Officer Wang, Gu Chen himself would probably be unconvinced.
That's why Officer Wang reacted strongly.
But reaction was reaction. Officer Wang, who had calmed down, seemed to be enlightened. He looked up at Gu Chen and said, "Huh? Don't tell me. If you follow your normal reasoning and the direction of the evidence at the scene, it seems that the Yao family's parents
The biggest suspicion."
Gu Chen also smiled bitterly and said: "So this is my biggest doubt, because the evidence can point to anyone, but what is the motive for the murder? It seems that Yao Xin's family has no motive to kill her at all."
"That means that if the motive for the murder is found, then Junior Brother Gu's doubts may be solved, right?" Lu Weiwei asked.
Gu Chen nodded and said: "From the current indications, Yao Xin's parents did not have any motive for murder, but he was Yao Xin's brother."
"You...you mean that young lady?" Lu Weiwei was confused.
"Yes." Gu Chen did not shy away from his speculation and said directly: "Only this young gentleman, Yao Gang, seems to not care at all about his sister's death."
"It's true that Yao Xin's parents are sad. There's no way to pretend it. Only this little young lady, Yao Gang, gave me an extremely cold feeling from the beginning to the end."
"From yesterday when my sister was kidnapped to today when my sister's body was discovered, he didn't seem to care at all. He continued to play with whatever he was supposed to do. Isn't this strange?"
"Could it be that his sister's sudden kidnapping and death caused immeasurable harm to him, so he became mentally disturbed and did some abnormal behavior?" Lu Weiwei gave her new perspective and added: "For example,
On the surface, I don’t care, but in my heart I am very sad.”
"Huh?" Officer Wang heard Lu Weiwei's words and immediately interrupted: "Don't mention it, Lu Weiwei's conclusion is also possible. Perhaps Yao Gang was mentally stimulated and acted abnormally."
After saying this, Officer Wang also crossed his arms, imitated Gu Chen's movements and raised his chin, muttering to himself: "Is this Yao Gang being stimulated and mentally disturbed?"
Gu Chen was also reminded by Officer Wang and seemed to have found a new direction for investigation, so he quickly asked Officer Wang: "Brother Wang, let me ask you, who are the people who know Yao Gang's character best?"
"The person who knows Yao Gang's character best? Let me think about it." Officer Wang also changed his mind in a second. After thinking about it for a while, he quickly said: "Aside from his parents, he should be the nanny. Oh, by the way.
It could also be Wu Qian."
"Then call and ask." Since Gu Chen could rule out Wu Qian and the nanny as suspects, he asked Officer Wang to call and ask. There didn't seem to be anything wrong.
Officer Wang waved his fingers and said, "Okay, I'll call and ask Wu Qian right now."
Then, he directly dialed the number that he had not dialed for many years.
Not long after, Wu Qian's call was answered.
Officer Wang directly switched to hands-free mode and asked: "Wu Qian, this is Lao Wang, where are you now?"
"I'm in my studio." Wu Qian also experienced what happened in the morning. It can be heard from the phone at this moment that she is not in a good mood.
"Foreigner, what's the matter with you?"
"Oh, that's it." Officer Wang looked at Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei beside him, and asked seriously: "It's Yao Xin's home, his brother Yao Gang, how much do you know about this child?"
"Yao Gang?" Wu Qian on the other side of the phone was a little surprised. After thinking for a moment, she said: "I don't know him very well. You also know that I am Yao Xin's agent. I hang around Yao Xin every day. I don't know him at all.
Spending too much time and energy paying attention to irrelevant people.”
"Then don't you know a little bit about it?" Officer Wang didn't want to give up and continued to ask her.
"It's not like I don't have a little understanding." Wu Qian paused briefly for a few seconds before replying: "By the way, I took Yao Xin to participate in the children's model competition and chatted with her about some things.
What happened to her brother Yao Gang."
"This little boy seems to be very naughty, has ADHD, and seems to be a reckless little boy. I also heard that he often snatches Yao Xin's toys at home."
"Several of the toys I gave to Yao Xin were all snatched away by his brother Yao Gang. Moreover, Yao Xin told me that she hates her brother and doesn't like her very much. Others... seem to be nothing."
It also felt that Officer Wang on the other end of the phone was listening carefully. Wu Qian was a little curious and asked: "Eh? Lao Wang, why are you asking these questions?"
Officer Wang also smiled: "No... nothing, I just want to know about Yao Xin's family. Oh, by the way, besides you, there are also Yao Xin's parents. The people who know Yao Gang best, do they still have his family?"
nanny?”
"It seems so." Wu Qian said.
"Okay, thank you." After Officer Wang finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly.
Looking back, he saw Lu Weiwei looking at him blankly, and asked curiously: "What's wrong, Lu Weiwei? Looking at me like this?"
"I finally know." Lu Weiwei was stunned.
"You...what do you know?" Officer Wang shrank back, feeling that Lu Weiwei was a little weird.
"I finally know why you two are not together." Lu Weiwei also sighed: "Your ex-girlfriend Sister Wu just experienced the same grief as us this morning, and also saw Yao Xin's body with us."
"It's okay for you to call her to ask about the situation, but before hanging up the phone, could you comfort Sister Wu for a few words? Didn't you notice that Sister Wu looked frightened at the Yao family this morning?"
Thinking of this, Lu Weiwei also said "Hey" and said with regret: "Sure enough, straight men are products of the assembly line, produced in batches."
Officer Wang was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and said: "Emma, how could I have forgotten this? We are the police, so we are not surprised by this kind of situation, but Wu Qian is different. She is a weak woman who has lost something."
He has chosen his most outstanding future star.”
After thinking for a while, Officer Wang said again: "Then I'd better call him."
"Forget it." Lu Weiwei also waved her hand and said: "It's better not to fight in your business. Even if I call you, I guess you won't know how to say it. Let's wait until the next time we meet."
"Yes." Gu Chen also said quickly: "Let's contact the Yao family's nanny first."
"Yes, yes, we are the police and we have to make things right." Officer Wang stopped worrying and picked up the phone directly. Based on the information in the transcript, he dialed the number of the Yao family's nanny.
After a few beeps, the phone was connected.
"Who is this?" A middle-aged and elderly woman's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I am Lao Wang from the Criminal Investigation Group Three of Furong Branch, the police officer investigating Yao Xin's case."
"Oh, have you found Yao Xin? Has the kidnapper been caught? Also, you didn't give me any money, right?"
The Yao family's nanny asked many questions at once, all about Yao Xin's kidnapping.
Obviously, the Yao family’s nanny still doesn’t know the fact that Yao Xin was killed.
The experienced police officer Wang did not tell her the situation, so as to avoid being sad on the phone for a while and delaying his inquiry into the situation.
So Officer Wang said "hmm" twice and continued to ask her: "Our police are still following up on Yao Xin's situation, and we want to ask you something now."
"Oh, the child Yao Xin hasn't been found yet?" The Yao family's nanny also felt quite regretful, and then asked: "Does Officer Wang have anything to ask me?"
"How much do you know about Yao Xin's brother Yao Gang?" Officer Wang asked.
"Yao Xin's brother?" Officer Wang's question was also so confusing that the Yao family's nanny didn't react for a while.
After all, just now we were talking about Yao Xin's kidnapping, and now it suddenly comes to Yao Xin's brother Yao Gang, who is two years older than Yao Xin. Normal people would be a little confused.
After the Yao family's nanny calmed down her thoughts, she said: "Yao Gang, this kid, is usually very naughty. It's because his sister is a well-known child model, so he feels that his sister's status in the family is much higher than his own. In his heart,
It’s somewhat unbalanced.”
"As you know, children are jealous of their parents' doting. Every time they see Yao Xin's parents pampering Yao Xin and treating her like the apple of their eye, he will be left alone.
I was unhappy, and then I went to grab Yao Xin’s things.”
"Everything like Barbie dolls, figurines, etc. are all snatched from Yao Xin. I feel like there is nothing that Yao Xin won't snatch from her parents."
"Is this little boy so jealous?" Gu Chen also directly wiped his mouth and asked.
"Isn't that right? He also has a bad temper and likes to get physical if we don't agree with him. If I say something to him, he will beat me. Oh, he is such a naughty child." Yao's nanny said.
