In the garden, Gu Chen walked back and forth twice, his eyes always fixed on the window of William's house.
There were still two minutes before his preset departure time, so Gu Chen simply walked to the window and observed the situation inside the house through the glass.
"The furnishings seem to have been tampered with." Gu Chen squinted his eyes and continued to block the sunlight with his hands.
"Is there a cigarette butt on the ground?"
"Junior brother Gu, what are you talking about?" Lu Weiwei asked curiously when she saw Gu Chen thinking about it.
"I said, there is a cigarette butt on the ground indoors at William's house," Gu Chen said.
Lu Weiwei was stunned for a moment, looked back at the cigarette butts on the steps at the door, and asked, "Is it like this?"
"It should be the same brand." Gu Chen nodded silently and compared the two cigarette butts indoors and outdoors.
Lu Weiwei hurried to the window, imitating Gu Chen's observation method, and roughly observed the situation in the house.
Soon, Lu Weiwei also discovered something fishy, and hurriedly said to Gu Chen: "Junior brother Gu, do you feel that the furniture in this room has shifted a little?"
"I can see it too." Gu Chen nodded silently and said: "The stool is a little tilted. Since it is indoors, why not straighten it?"
"Also, the parallel line between the dining table and the tiles seems to be a little off. Excluding the so-called obsessive-compulsive disorder patients, it shouldn't be like this. It seems like it was knocked away."
"Agree." Lu Weiwei nodded silently and said, "The furnishings in the house do have signs of collision."
"There are still cigarette butts." Gu Chen continued to remind: "Logically speaking, I could conclude yesterday that William is not a smoker, but his yard is clean and tidy, so why are there cigarette butts at the doorstep?
"
"Even if there are cigarette butts on the steps at the door, there are also cigarette butts on the ground inside the house. This is a bit unreasonable."
"William, why don't you clean it up? And it's still in such an obvious position."
"Gu...Junior Brother Gu." Listening to Gu Chen's words, Lu Weiwei suddenly felt frightened. She quickly asked: "You mean, there may be outsiders in the house who have been in the house and had a conflict with William."
"And the furniture in the house is most likely produced during the fight between the smoker and William?"
Gu Chen was silent for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he said: "William made an appointment with us yesterday to be at home today, so he probably won't break the appointment, after all, the phone is still in the room."
"But what Senior Sister Lu just said should really be taken into consideration. Fighting? Although this idea is more risky, it cannot be ruled out. After all, all the clues now point to this."
"Then let's open the door and take a look." Lu Weiwei suggested.
Gu Chen quickly refused and said: "Senior Sister Lu, this is Luocheng, Italy. We are Chinese police. We just wear Chinese police uniforms and knock open the doors of Italian citizens' houses. If the bad media catches us, it will be a big problem."
That’s big.”
"That's right." Lu Weiwei suddenly realized, "I was so excited just now that I didn't think about these problems."
Looking at Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei quickly asked: "Junior Brother Gu, what should we do now?"
"You go contact Anna and the others and explain to them the situation here. Also, let's all turn on the law enforcement recorders. I'll go around the neighborhood to see if there are any other clues."
"Okay." Lu Weiwei always obeyed Gu Chen's instructions.
Considering that you are currently a Chinese police officer, you are not obliged to conduct an independent investigation into the Italian case.
Moreover, this is just everyone's guess. Whether the specific situation is true or not remains to be considered.
Here Lu Weiwei started to contact Anna on her mobile phone and explained to Anna the situation she and Gu Chen encountered at William's house.
On the other side, Gu Chen had already begun searching the area around William's house.
Gu Chen pointed the law enforcement recorder forward and walked towards the back door step by step.
To be honest, it was the first time that Gu Chen performed such a mission alone in Italy, and Gu Chen was still panicking.
After all, this involves some over-the-top contents of the white paper, and it is not what I, as a Chinese police officer, should do.
If it was not what he had guessed, and William just went out and mistakenly left his mobile phone at home, and the shifting of the furniture in the home was just an accident, then he and Lu Weiwei would definitely give the Italian police an excuse if they acted without authorization.
This damages the image of the Chinese police...
But as a policeman in a foreign country, Gu Chen would feel bad if he knew the danger was nearby but failed to deal with it.
From a moral perspective, Gu Chen knew he should take action.
However, Gu Chen cares about Guoluo City and has no independent law enforcement power. These terms restrict Gu Chen's actions.
Therefore, it would be more appropriate to contact Anna to explain the situation and ask Anna's Italian police team to come and deal with it.
And I can provide some preliminary investigation and provide necessary assistance to the Italian police team where Anna is a member.
When Gu Chen came to the back door of William's house, he found that the back door was ajar and there was no sign of being locked.
After looking around, Gu Chen took out his cell phone and continued to dial William's number.
At this moment, the familiar bell rang from William's house again.
Gu Chen stood at the door and called loudly while holding his mobile phone.
But after more than ten seconds passed, the ringing in the room continued, without any response from William.
"Could something really happen?" Gu Chen no longer hesitated. He took out the white gloves from the police equipment, put them between his hands, and then pointed the law enforcement recorder forward.
"I want to enter William's house now because I heard William's cell phone ringing, and I'm afraid William is in danger."
Gu Chen spoke to the air in front of him, mainly because now that the law enforcement recorder is turned on, giving entry instructions to the door will help avoid unnecessary troubles.
After completing the normal operation, I gently pushed the door open with my hands wearing white gloves.
At this moment, the room was as quiet as ever, and there was no movement.
Gu Chen frowned and carefully observed the movements around him.
"It seems like no one is home?" Gu Chen took out his mobile phone again and dialed William's mobile number.
At this time, Gu Chen clearly felt that the ringtone of his cell phone was at the corner of the living room, very close to his location.
At this time, Gu Chen discovered that there were obviously many drag marks under his feet, and there were even many household items scattered around.
Gu Chen obviously felt something was wrong, so he didn't think much and continued walking towards the place where the bell rang.
At this moment, William was lying at his feet, with his eyes raised, as if he had long since lost his breath.
"Mr. William! Mr. William, what's wrong with you?" Gu Chen quickly squatted down and made a preliminary inspection of William who was lying on the ground.
But in an instant, Gu Chen felt a sense of loss.
That's right, William had already lost his breath, and his whole body had long since passed away.
At this moment, Lu Weiwei also spotted Gu Chen through the front door window, and she quickly knocked on the window.
Gu Chen didn't hesitate, got up and immediately opened the front door.
At this moment, Lu Weiwei walked into the living room in surprise. Seeing William lying on the ground, she took a deep breath and said, "Wei... what's wrong with Mr. William?"
"Death by suffocation."
"Suffocation... suffocation to death?" Lu Weiwei was stunned and quickly asked: "Junior brother Gu, how could Mr. William suffocate to death? It doesn't make sense?"
"Maybe he was strangled to death." Gu Chen squatted down again, pointed at several scars on William's neck and said: "Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that William was strangled to death, and the time of death may have been last night.
"
"Is it a home invasion?" Lu Weiwei hypothesized.
Gu Chen agreed: "It's very possible. I found signs of disorder in the house. It's probably that the gangsters moved away the family's belongings after strangling William to death."
As he finished speaking, Gu Chen was suddenly attracted by the many photos on the sofa in the living room. He couldn't help but be shocked: "This is..."
"Are these our wedding photos?" Lu Weiwei also noticed the situation and hurriedly walked to the sofa in a few steps and held a pile of photos in her hands.
"Mr. William did not break his promise. He really prepared our photos and was waiting for us to pick them up, but..."
Thinking of this, Lu Weiwei suddenly felt sad.
"Keep an eye on William's body." After a brief explanation, Gu Chen added, "I have to go upstairs and take a look."
"Okay, don't worry, Junior Brother Gu, Anna and the others are already on their way," Lu Weiwei said.
Gu Chen nodded and walked directly to the second floor.
Ten minutes have passed...
Anna drove an assault vehicle with Mario, Fabio and Carmelo, as well as Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha from the Chinese police team.
Everyone arrived at the scene and quickly established a cordon around the perimeter.
Officer Wang, Yuan Shasha and Anna entered the room first.
Seeing Lu Weiwei guarding William, Anna quickly asked: "What's going on with William?"
"William was strangled to death." Lu Weiwei stood up and quickly added: "Junior brother Gu is currently searching upstairs, waiting for you to pass."
"Let's go take a look." Anna was about to turn around and go upstairs. At this moment, Gu Chen happened to come downstairs, and the two of them met instantly.
"Gu Chen, I was just looking for you. What's going on?" Anna asked.
"There's no need to search upstairs." Gu Chen walked to William and said to everyone: "Based on my preliminary judgment of the scene, this should be a burglary case, because the cabinets upstairs have signs of being pried open.
It was turned over in a messy manner, and the initial judgment was that it was a robbery of property and life."
"It's so abominable. Who would do such a cruel thing?" Anna gritted her teeth in anger. She couldn't help but look at Gu Chen and asked: "Gu Chen, you and Lu Weiwei were the first to arrive at the scene. What do you think?
Not found, are there any suspicious persons nearby?"
"The suspicious person was not found." Gu Chen took two cigarette butts from his evidence collection bag and showed them in front of Anna: "But I found this at the scene."
"Cigarette butts?" Anna couldn't help but asked weakly, "Where did you find these?"
"One is on the steps outside the door, and the other is in the living room. It may be related to the murderer," Gu Chen said.
Anna glanced at Mario coming behind her and said, "Mario, please accept it first."
"Okay." Mario readily took the cigarette butt from Gu Chen's hand.
But at this moment, Carmelo also walked in. After hearing the conversation of several people, he grabbed the cigarette butt from Mario's hand and said, "Is this the evidence Gu Chen collected from the scene?"
"That's right." Gu Chen walked directly to him and said.
Carmelo frowned and said with a sneer: "Gu Chen, if I guess correctly, entering Italian people's homes alone to investigate and search cases is not the task of your Chinese police at all, right?"
"You're right." Gu Chen had long known that someone would say this, so he defended himself: "First of all, I didn't come to Mr. William's house to handle the case. I came here at Mr. William's invitation to get it.
Our own stuff.”
"Second, when we discovered that something was wrong with Mr. William's family, I first asked Senior Sister Lu to contact you, also to wait for your team to come over and deal with it."
"But time waits for no one. If Mr. William is in danger at this moment, then we should and have the obligation to help him."
"If my identity as a Chinese police officer were excluded, I think anyone would rush in and find out the situation."
Carmelo listened to Gu Chen's words and snorted coldly: "But in fact, your Chinese police did not wait for our Italian police team to arrive before entering the deceased's house first. This is also a fact. This fully shows that your Chinese police
The police handled the case unprofessionally and too casually.”
"I don't think you need to label us Chinese policemen like this." Gu Chen did not deny the fact that he entered William's house first, but if he slandered Chinese policemen, Gu Chen would not be polite.
Gu Chen pointed to the law enforcement recorder on his chest and said: "Although we entered Mr. William's house first, before we entered Mr. William's house, we strictly followed the Chinese police's case handling standards and recorded the law enforcement records we carried with us.
The instrument is open."
"Here is a record of everything that happened before we entered William's house, including my call to Mr. William and the ringing announcement stating that he was in the house but no one answered."
"Another thing I want to say is that I did not forcefully break into Mr. William's home, but detoured to the back door of the house and discovered that the back door was not actually locked. This was recorded in the law enforcement recorder."
Originally, Carmelo wanted to make a fuss about Gu Chen's secret entry into an Italian citizen's home to conduct an investigation and search, but after what Gu Chen said, it seemed that the operating procedures were very standardized.
Just as Gu Chen said, he and Lu Weiwei came to William's house during the lunch break, and they were invited to go and get their things.
If the identity of the Chinese police is excluded, it seems to be justified.
Even other ordinary people, when they sense that William is in danger, will rush to find out the situation.
There is nothing wrong with this.
Moreover, Gu Chen was the first to call and communicate with the Italian police team, and he turned on the law enforcement recorder and entered from behind the ajar door. All operations are recorded in the law enforcement records.
Even if Carmelo wanted to cause trouble for Gu Chen, all actions were recorded, and Gu Chen was only confirming the cause of William's death.
"Okay." Seeing Gu Chen's eloquence, Carmelo weighed the evidence collection bag in his hand and said, "Since you have collected two cigarette butts, you should talk about these two cigarette butts.
What’s the point?”
"Carmelo, you're going too far." Seeing that Carmelo was deliberately making things difficult for Gu Chen, Anna on the side stopped and retorted directly: "Gu Chen helped us collect evidence in the early stage. We should be grateful to him, why are you getting more serious?
Make things difficult for others?"
"Haha." Carmelo smiled coldly and said, "I just want to ask my Chinese colleagues, aren't we all here to handle cases? Why bother?"
"Haha, why bother?" Listening to Carmelo's bastard words, Anna couldn't help but said: "But just now you were arguing with the Chinese police team, and now you are asking the Chinese police team not to care. Aren't you contradicting yourself?
?”
"Carmelo, let me tell you, we are all partners, sometimes you should not go too far."
"Did I go too far?" Carmelo shrugged and spread his hands with an innocent face: "I was just asking my Chinese colleagues for advice."
"you……"
"never mind."
Just before Anna finished speaking, Gu Chen directly interrupted the argument between the two and said, "Officer Camero just wants to know if some problems can be found from these two cigarette butts. This is understandable."
"I can also tell you clearly that from these two cigarette butts, I can really see some clues."
"you……"
Before Carmelo could speak, Gu Chen snatched the cigarette butts from his hand, pinched the corner of the transparent evidence bag and said: "These two cigarette butts are of the same brand, and based on what we learned about Mr. William yesterday, we can basically
Rule out the possibility that Mr. William smokes."
"Yes." Anna, who was standing aside, nodded slightly and said, "I can testify to this. Yesterday at the exhibition, I did not find Mr. William's smoking habit."
After looking at the logos on the cigarette butts, Anna added: "And judging from the logos on the two cigarette butts, they should be low-end cigarettes."
"But even if Mr. William can smoke, he is unlikely to smoke such a low-end brand."
"That's right." Gu Chen also agreed very much: "I didn't know much about Italian cigarette brands before, but after what Officer Anna said just now, I can now be completely sure that the person who smokes these cigarettes is definitely not Mr. William.
."
"Who could it be if it wasn't William?" Carmelo asked, asking the question and continued to throw the question to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen was silent for two seconds, and then said: "Now that we know that Mr. William does not smoke, there is a high probability that this cigarette butt was left by criminals."
"And I speculate that this criminal knocked on William's door for some reason."
"After entering the house, he smoked while chatting with Mr. William, waiting for an opportunity to commit a crime. Moreover, this was a low-end cigarette. It was obvious that the man was not rich and had a high possibility of making money."
Carmelo also looked disdainful when he heard Gu Chen's words.
However, Gu Chen ignored him and continued to explain his speculation: "The cigarette butt is very short and soaked in saliva. From this point of view, it can be used for identification. From the saliva, there is a high probability that it can be identified.
Bleeding type, this can be used as a reference for personnel screening."
"In addition, William's mobile phone is here. You can immediately check the last few people who contacted him and determine who had contact with Mr. William last night."
"You can leave this to me." Anna listened to Gu Chen's words and said with certainty: "Mario will solve everything. If we know who did it, we will definitely not let him go."
