Many Italian police officers, including Mario, Fabio, and Officer George, also showed surprised faces when they heard Gu Chen's words.
In order to verify that what Gu Chen said was true, George squatted down and repeatedly checked the body of the deceased Matthew.
The result finally obtained was the same as what Gu Chen had speculated.
Yes, there are indeed deep marks on the back of Matthew's neck.
Judging from the situation of hanging, there will only be a V-shaped mark on Matthew's neck.
This is obviously different from a suicide situation.
"Gu Chen." Anna took a deep breath, nodded and said, "The two anomalies you mentioned can indeed prove that Matthew did not hang himself."
"No... not suicide by hanging?" Listening to Officer Anna's words, Matthew's neighbor Alessandra was completely confused.
She walked up to Matthew's body and said in disbelief: "How is this possible? If it wasn't suicide, how could the scene be like this?"
"Ms. Alexandra." Gu Chen walked up to her and reminded, "When was the last time you saw Matthew?"
"The last time? This...let me think about it." Alexandra was completely confused at the moment, and the sudden change of situation caught her by surprise.
After thinking quietly for a few seconds, she said calmly: "Yesterday around 5 o'clock in the afternoon, I gave Matthew the food I bought from the supermarket."
"Matthew opened the door at that time, right?" Gu Chen asked.
Alessandra nodded: "Yes, it was indeed Matthew who opened the door at that time."
"Besides him, was there anyone else in Matthew's family at that time?" Anna also asked quickly.
"No." Alessandra still shook her head. After looking around for a week, she confirmed again: "At that time, I sent it to his dining table and asked him to eat these ingredients for dinner. After all, I was going to the community to attend a party in the evening.
I couldn't make dinner for him during the activities, so I even comforted him a few words."
"However, Matthew's mood seemed to have eased at that time. I felt that he seemed to be slowly coming out of his sadness, but I did not expect to encounter such a situation early this morning."
"Wait a minute." Gu Chen directly interrupted Alessandra's words and asked: "You said you left home last night, so how come you gave him breakfast this morning? Why can you conclude that Matthew must be there?
At home? So you choose to use an ax to break open the door? Can you explain it to me? "
"Yes." Anna listened to Gu Chen's words and asked, "Are you so sure?"
"This...of course I can confirm this." Also being questioned by the police, Alessandra hurried to the door, pointed to a pair of old football shoes outside and said: "Matthew always wears these when he goes out.
A pair of shoes, that's his habit."
"As long as I see these shoes by the door, I know Matthew is still home, and there's no problem, I swear."
"Okay, thank you, Ms. Alexandra." Anna nodded silently, took out her notebook and began to record everything.
At the same time, Gu Chen continued to ask Alessandra: "Then do you know, did anyone come to Matthew's house last night?"
"I don't know." Alessandra shook her head.
"What about Matthew's acquaintances? Who are the people who have close contacts with him? You always know this?" Gu Chen asked again.
Alessandra shrugged and said helplessly: "To be honest, Matthew is not a gregarious kid. He has almost no friends, but..."
Thinking of this, Alessandra seemed to remember something, and she hurriedly said: "By the way, Ronaldo, the talented young man playing in Serie B, is his close friend, and they have a very good relationship."
"I heard Matthew say at the beginning that he was able to stay in Italy and get rid of his refugee status because of the help of Ronaldo."
"And I was also at home. I saw A Luo come to Matthew's house. Matthew had just moved here at that time, and A Luo came very frequently."
"At that time?" Gu Chen quickly deduced based on Alessandra's words: "At that time, does it mean that Matthew just entered the youth training camp, it should be many years ago, right?"
"Yes." Alessandra nodded slightly and said: "Seven or eight years ago, I heard that Matthew was very good in the youth training camp. The club owner valued it very much. This house was also owned by Ronaldo's uncle.
It was bought with sponsorship from the owner of the Liberty team."
"Because Matthew had a long-term contract with the Liberty Club at the time, the owner of the Liberty Club overdrafted Matthew's salary at the club in advance and allowed him to live here and get rid of his refugee status."
"But there is a condition. Matthew must sign a long-term contract for the Liberty Club."
"How long did they sign the contract?" Anna was curious, feeling more and more interested in the relationship between Matthew and the Liberty Club.
"I don't know, but I feel that it should be quite long. Otherwise, with the subsidies and bonuses Matthew received from playing in the youth academy of the Liberty Club, it would be difficult to buy a house here."
"I know." Anna nodded slightly and fell into deep thought for a moment.
After Gu Chen fully listened to Alessandra's words, he was also curious and said: "Ms. Alessandra, I want to know what you said that Ronaldo often came to Matthew's house at that time, that is, seven
What happened eight years ago, what about now? Do they still have contact?"
"Well!" Alessandra frowned slightly and said with some regret: "Since Matthew was kicked in a game and suffered a comminuted fracture, his career has basically ended."
"The doctor told him that he could play football, but he couldn't play in the league. So from that point on, Matthew returned home with less than a few months of the Liberty youth training camp contract remaining, and he has been recuperating from his injury."
"Ronaldo also visited him several times from that time on. I remember it very clearly. I even took a photo with him at that time."
After a pause, Alessandra added: "But later on, in the past few years, Ronaldo rarely came to see Matthew. I remember it very clearly."
"You have to know that people with Matthew's personality really don't have many friends, especially after an injury ended his career. Those friends who were still in contact by chance may no longer be in contact."
"After all, they still have professional leagues to play in, but from now on, Matthew can only rely on his own ability to make a living. That's why Matthew goes to Area A Square to play freestyle football every day to support his family."
Listening to Alexandra's words, everyone felt uncomfortable.
Like Mario and Fabio, they are also familiar with Matthew, and they only know that he is a relatively optimistic young man.
At least insist on playing football in the square of Area A every day and become an evergreen tree among the street performers there. This is not something that ordinary people can persist in.
It can be said that the evergreen artists performing in the square in Area A are mostly older artists, and there are not many peers like Matthew.
It is precisely because Matthew, with his dreadlocks, has his own label attributes.
Therefore, although no one can recognize Matthew's real name, when it comes to the dreadlocked young man playing freestyle football in the square in Area A, nine times out of ten, everyone can think of him.
Seeing Gu Chen lost in thought, Lu Weiwei walked up to him and asked: "Junior brother Gu, it seems that life has been completely different after Matthew left the team. Maybe this is the saying that when a tree falls, the monkeys disperse."
"Yes." Gu Chen nodded slightly and said, "According to our conversation with Oliver, the owner of the Liberty Club, it is clear that a large part of the reason why Matthew has fallen into this situation is because Matthew is too conceited."
"Coupled with Matthew's lone-wolf style of playing, it is indeed difficult to make teammates like his personality."
"However, judging from our contact with Matthew, he seems to be bowing to reality now. At least he is no longer so conceited. Being able to work as a street performer in Area A Square for so many years shows that he has already let go of his pride and accepted reality."
"Officer Gu, you are right." Fabio walked over from Matthew's body and said, "I don't know what Matthew was like before, but since he started playing freestyle football in the square in Area A, I
Just knowing him, he was very polite and complimentary.”
"I remember one time, Matthew's teammates in the youth training camp even ridiculed him on the spot, but Matthew was not angry."
"If this were the case in the past, I guess Matthew would have served him with his fists. I promise, this is true."
"Okay, I agree with your statement, Officer Fabio." Gu Chen, while agreeing with Fabio's statement, turned to Alessandra and asked: "Ms. Alessandra, besides what you know, Matthew is going out
Apart from the fact that I had to bring this photo with a miniature photo of my family, does anyone else know?”
"Ronaldo." Alessandra said without hesitation: "Ronaldo also knows."
"Why are you so sure?" Gu Chen asked.
"Because... because last time Ronaldo drove to Matthew's house and picked him up to the Liberty Club, Matthew forgot to put on the necklace before going out."
"After driving the car for half a mile, he asked Ronaldo to drive back again, saying that it was his lucky thing and could not leave his body."
"I remember that Ronaldo was sarcastic and sarcastic to him at that time. I felt that he was really unnecessary, so I am sure that Ronaldo must know."
"Thank you." Gu Chen nodded slightly and looked at Anna beside him.
Anna seemed to understand Gu Chen's meaning from Gu Chen's eyes, and couldn't help asking weakly: "Gu Chen, what do you mean... do you suspect that the person who attacked Matthew was Ronaldo?"
Gu Chen did not answer immediately, but walked back to Matthew's body, pointed at Matthew's black coat and said: "This dress is very beautiful and quite formal. At least it is similar to the Matthew we saw in the square in Area A."
It’s very different, what does that mean?”
"It means he may want to go out." Officer Wang came from the side and said.
"Yes, that's right." Gu Chen snapped his fingers, then pointed at Matthew's leather shoes: "Look at this, did you all hear what Ms. Alexandra said just now? Look at Matthew's leather shoes again.
."
"I know." Yuan Shasha on the side responded quickly: "Ms. Alexandra just said that Matthew always wears a pair of old football shoes when he goes out, because he always goes out to make money."
"Xiao Yuan is right." Gu Chen nodded silently, looked at Anna and said, "Anna, these leather shoes are polished and she is wearing a black coat. What does this mean?"
"He is going out." Anna stared at Matthew's body intently and said with certainty: "Matthew is going out, or in other words, he is going to attend an important meeting."
"That's right." Gu Chen agreed with Anna's words and said, "Matthew, a casual and peaceful person, suddenly dressed so formally. He must be going to meet someone important. Of course, the meeting place may be more important.
, so he pays special attention to dressing."
Looking around and looking at Mario, Fabio, George and other Italian policemen in front of him, Gu Chen seemed to be in control of the whole place and said: "Matthew's parents just passed away not long ago. He was supposed to have a mental breakdown."
."
"But at this moment, he suddenly wants to meet someone, and he is dressed up carefully. Don't you think it's strange?"
"Indeed." Lu Weiwei nodded silently and agreed: "Could it be that... he is going to meet an acquaintance?"
"Maybe it's Ronaldo." Anna looked at the necklace on Matthew's neck, then looked back at Gu Chen and said: "Apart from Ms. Alexandra, the only one who knows that Matthew wears this necklace when he goes out is Ronaldo.
."
"And judging from your analysis just now, after Matthew was strangled to death, the other person put the necklace on Matthew's neck. This means that the murderer knew that Matthew had the habit of wearing this necklace when going out, so...
"
"So, the murderer wanted to hide it, but he didn't know that it would expose himself." Gu Chen said.
"Yes." Anna strongly agreed with Gu Chen's opinion.
But suddenly, Anna hesitated again.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Everyone knows that Anna has always regarded Ronaldo as her idol, but now, Ronaldo has become the biggest suspect, which is somewhat unbelievable.
At least many Italian police officers, including Anna, are unwilling to accept this fact.
Mario retorted at the time: "This is definitely not true. Ronaldo has always been Matthew's best teammate. How could he kill Matthew? I think there must be some misunderstanding between us. Yesterday we talked
We went to watch Ronaldo’s game together, didn’t we?”
"Yes, we all saw clearly yesterday that Ronaldo was playing football on the court and then left in his uncle Mr. Oliver's Mercedes-Benz car. How could he have time to come here?"
"Everyone." Gu Chen suddenly interrupted everyone's quarrel and said calmly: "Matthew's death time was around 11 o'clock last night, and after we met with Ronaldo last night, the time may have been after 10 o'clock."
"Based on the driving distance, he does have enough time to get here, so do you have any other opinions?"
"No... no, you said the time of his death was around 11 o'clock in the evening?" Officer George looked at Gu Chen doubtfully, and said in disbelief: "How do you know?"
"That's right." Looking at the young Gu Chen, he could determine the time of death of the deceased Matthew with just a word. Fabio on the side was also stunned and said quickly: "Officer Gu, you are not a forensic doctor. Just by your
After just a few glances at Matthew's body, you can conclude that the time of Matthew's death was around 11 o'clock last night. This...isn't this a bit unreasonable?"
"That's right."
"Isn't this Chinese policeman a bit confident?"
"It seems that the leader of the Chinese police team also has a habit of bragging."
"Haha, he dared to say it so easily, something that even a forensic doctor wouldn't dare to say without doing an examination."
The other Italian policemen who were originally standing aside began to ridicule when Gu Chen brought up the time of death of the deceased Matthew.
In everyone's opinion, professional things should be done by professionals.
In the Luocheng Police Station, forensic doctors are usually responsible for the identification of corpses, but Gu Chenzhi is a gilded policeman sent to Italy to do joint patrols and help Chinese tourists and overseas Chinese solve problems.
Just like that, he dared to talk nonsense and show off his ignorance in front of the Italian police?
Seeing the colleagues around her start teasing her, Anna was a little embarrassed. She quickly reminded Gu Chen: "Gu Chen, the time of death needs forensic identification, so don't talk nonsense here."
"He is not talking nonsense." Just when Anna was trying to smooth things over, a police officer who was a big fan of Ronaldo stood up and said: "He just concluded that Ronaldo is the biggest suspect. Since he thinks Ronaldo is the murderer,
Of course the Chinese police would be so hasty as to say the time of death was 11pm."
"Haha, Chinese police."
Many people were sneering on the sidelines.
In everyone's opinion, Gu Chen is young and has a good tone. At least many Italian policemen present are older than Gu Chen in terms of police service experience.
It would be very funny to have a junior Chinese policeman on site to guide everyone in sorting out the case.
Of course, Gu Chen also has his own shining points.
For example, just now, the small details of the strangulation marks on the neck of the deceased Matthew and the necklace being placed outside the rope were what Gu Chen discovered first.
But based on this alone, no one could convince Gu Chen.
After all, as long as everyone carefully checks and finds these two flaws, it is just a matter of time.
Therefore, everyone believed that the two doubts that Gu Chen was the first to discover just now were due to Gu Chen's luck and were not related to his ability.
But when Gu Chen raised his opinion about the time of death, the Italian police present quit their job. After all, this involved a professional and technical level.
Gu Chen did not deny his opinion because of the distrust of the Italian police.
While handling cases in China, I studied under forensic doctor Liu and learned a lot about the time of death identification techniques.
But from what the Italian police said just now, Gu Chen felt that everyone's professional standards seemed to be too biased towards seeking help from forensic doctors.
If the forensic doctor was not present, no one would dare to draw conclusions easily.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen couldn't help but smile and said: "What I said is not wrong. According to the condition of the deceased Matthew's body, his death time should indeed be around 11 o'clock last night."
"Officer Gu." Fat policeman Mario was a little embarrassed and said: "You said that Matthew's death time was 11 o'clock last night. What is your basis?"
Gu Chen smiled slightly and said: "There are several tips to determine the time of death of a corpse, including looking at the degree of rigor mortis, judging based on the temperature of the corpse, etc."
"In fact, through these technologies, it is not possible to make quick and accurate conclusions. It requires a process of practice making perfect. Even if the average person knows these points, if they have not practiced many times, errors in judgment will still occur."
"Haha." George couldn't help but sneered, turned to look at Anna beside him, and said: "Anna, I think this Chinese policeman is a bit interesting, but I still don't believe it. He can determine the time of death of the deceased based on these things, and he also
Not a forensic scientist."
