I am a super cop

Chapter 650 Searching for Ruins 【Monthly Pass】

"Gu Chen, do you really think the corpse is not Paul?" Anna was puzzled, why Gu Chen wanted to be serious with herself on the corpse.

In her opinion, the fingerprint clues are already very clear, so why bother?
Gu Chen nodded and smiled, "Don't you think that charred corpse is a bit weird?"

"you mean……"

"The size of the corpse." Gu Chen reminded.

Possessing a specialized level of observation, Gu Chen can achieve a level of detail observation that ordinary people cannot achieve.

Before Gu Chen made a brief observation of the corpse, he had already recorded various characteristics of the corpse.

At least at that time, Gu Chen's impression of Paul could only be based on the written information of the Luocheng police.

But after communicating with Simon, Gu Chen at least had a more comprehensive understanding of Paul.

"Paul is 185 tall and weighs more than 90 kilograms, but the body we found today is beyond recognition, but I can see that the height does not exceed 180, and the weight is far from 90 kilograms."

"Judging from the size alone, the charred corpse is more emaciated, especially the ribs are exposed, which is a characteristic of hunger."

"To be reasonable, I think that the deceased should be a hungry and cold person, not Paul."

"Because Paul just got a sum of money from Simon two days ago. This money is enough for him to be cool and hungry in the next few days? Absolutely impossible."

"Are you sure?" Anna became more and more confused the more she listened, but when Gu Chen said this, she felt puzzled.

Gu Chen directly took out his mobile phone, and showed the few details he had photographed in front of Anna.

"You even took a picture of this?" Anna was also surprised.

Before, I only found Gu Chen squatting down to observe the corpse, and it took a while.

Unexpectedly, although the time was short, Gu Chen had already photographed several important features of the corpse with his mobile phone.

Previously, Anna had seen several close-ups from different angles in the information book of the dead body at the scene, but what Gu Chen photographed was a few subtle details.

From this point of view, the gap between Gu Chen and his colleagues can be seen at this moment.

"What is the detection height of the dead body?" Anna quickly turned around and asked George.

"Big... probably, probably..." George was also stunned. He quickly took out his briefcase, took the test report in his hand, and then said: "About 178, measured with a ruler on site."

"That's not right." Gu Chen shook his head, and said again: "Simon's height is 185. When he told me about it, I deliberately asked Paul's height to be the same as his, and the two were almost talking at eye level. .”

"And Paul was strong, even threatening when he learned about Simon and Lisa's relationship."

"From this point of view, the charred corpse is somewhat different from Paul's actual situation."

Hearing Gu Chen's words, everyone on the scene was stunned.

The dead body is not Paul?

The forensic doctor has not yet come up with results, but Gu Chen came out first.

Lu Weiwei was also terrified of thinking carefully, and hurriedly asked: "Junior Brother Gu, according to what you said, then Paul is missing at most, and the person who was actually burned to death may be someone else?"

"Maybe the murderer is Paul." Officer Wang quickly interjected.

Gu Chen was silent for a moment, and did not immediately answer everyone's questions.

Anna already felt the seriousness of the problem at this moment.

Looking at Gu Chen, she seemed to realize that the direction of her previous investigation was completely wrong.

But looking for Paul, everyone seems to be in agreement.

After all, the fingerprints on the bicycles at the scene belonged to Paul, and everyone also found the room key of the Rose Hotel nearby.

After checking and extracting the guest room, Paul's fingerprints were indeed found.

If the deceased was not Paul, at least he was related to Paul.

"Gu... Gu Chen." Anna also panicked at the moment, feeling that she had no clue, so she asked Gu Chen for advice, "If it were you, what would you do next?"

"If it's me?" Gu Chen stood up suddenly, walked back and forth twice, and suddenly said to Uncle Sam: "Uncle Sam, I have a request."

"You... You said." Uncle Sam suddenly realized that he might also be involved in this case and became a participant, so he asked weakly.

"Help me keep an eye out for missing persons nearby, just these two days." Gu Chen said.

"That's it?" Uncle Sam took a deep breath and smiled calmly: "No problem, I will help you pay attention."

At first, I thought it was a big deal, but you know, Sam is in charge of this area, and all kinds of information converge here, and Sam has become the medium of information flow.

It was not difficult for him to inquire about this kind of news, so he readily accepted it.

But suddenly he remembered something again, and he froze on the spot, as if he was remembering something.

"What's wrong?" Gu Chen frowned, bowed and asked, "Uncle Sam, did you remember something?"

"Yes." Uncle Sam nodded, and suddenly said: "Just now, after hearing what you said, I suddenly thought of a person. Indeed, it seems to be a little similar to the corpse you mentioned."

"What... what?" Officer George was stunned suddenly, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle Sam, can you explain more clearly?"

"It's a beggar, that's right, that's right." Uncle Sam was taken aback for a moment, and he quickly stood up straight.

Gu Chen and Anna looked at each other, and seemed to feel the shock from Uncle Sam.

"In our area, there is indeed a beggar whose height and build are somewhat similar to the man you just mentioned. He often wanders around the community park by himself."

"Because of his thin body, we all call him Monkey, and we will bring some food from home to satisfy his hunger if there is nothing to do."

"No." Officer George said doubtfully, "Uncle Sam, we have a relief station here. If there is a beggar, he should be sent there."

"No, no." Uncle Sam interrupted: "He is an unknown person. Some say he is a refugee, some say he is a lunatic, but no one knows his real identity."

"I also heard from a friend that this monkey escaped from a mental hospital. It is an orphan in itself. It has been wandering in various neighborhoods in Luocheng. It only started to appear in our area at the beginning of the year."

"Later, we also knew the residents here and there, but monkeys don't talk much, people are stupid, they seem to be out of their minds, and people often bully him."

"Where is his general range of activities?" Gu Chen opened the phone map and handed the phone to Uncle Sam.

"Here." Uncle Sam zoomed out on the map and circled an area on the map: "This is it. He usually moves in this area and basically doesn't go far away."

"But today is very strange. I started to clean the streets of the community in the morning, and I have not found any traces of monkeys."

"It's strange to say that he will appear under the big tree in the community park every morning, because everyone will hang the breakfast they bought on the big tree. This is a common practice."

"The purpose is to make it easier for the monkeys to come here to get food, but today is very strange. Not long ago, I passed by the big tree in the park, but found that the food from this morning was still hanging there. I was still very puzzled at the time, wondering where the monkeys went gone?"

"It's him." Before Uncle Sam could continue, Gu Chen couldn't wait.

He quickly put his hands on Uncle Sam's shoulders, and said solemnly: "Uncle Sam, we need your help now, can you take us to find this monkey?"

"Yes." Anna also hurriedly begged: "You take us to the range of the beggar monkey's activities, especially the places where it often appears."

Seeing that everyone can't wait, it seems that Uncle Sam's anxiety has been confirmed.

He had a serious expression on his face. After a few seconds of contemplation, he didn't speak, but went to the door to change his shoes.

It wasn't until Uncle Sam came to the gate of the garden that he waved his hand and walked out of the garden on his own.

Everyone is not idle.

This case feels like it's being peeled off.

It seems to be moving towards the truth step by step.

A group of people began to search around the community park, including several places introduced by Uncle Sam, which are places where beggars often haunt.

After a lap, Uncle Sam was a little tired, and his throat was a little hoarse.

Everyone came to a dilapidated building, and then stopped for a brief rest.

"Hoohoo! This is the place where beggar monkeys often hide from the rain. It used to be an elementary school, but it is now abandoned. There are also some small animals such as wild cats and dogs, and they will use this place as their foothold."

Seeing the lightning and thunder in the sky, which was the prelude to rain, Police Officer George laughed at himself: "It seems that now, we all have to be like beggars, and use this as a shelter from the rain."

"Go in and have a look." Gu Chen didn't care too much, and walked into the ruins first.

"Junior Brother Gu, wait for me." Lu Weiwei followed closely behind, trotting all the way to keep up with the rhythm.

After looking at each other, the others also walked into the ruins one after another.

"Boom!" After a flash of lightning, thunder suddenly rolled.

The surrounding vegetation also began to rustle.

Many small stray animals have also returned to their cages from various corners.

But seeing so many humans at this time, many wild cats stopped in their tracks. After repeated hesitation, they chose to hide from the rain under the dilapidated fence opposite Gu Chen and others.

Not long after, heavy rain poured down.

There was an unusually loud noise around the ruins.

The rain water hits every corner, making different movements.

"Is this the place where beggar monkeys live?" Yuan Shasha crossed her arms and walked back and forth in a corner, she couldn't help but wonder: "Not to mention, this place is quite unique, I didn't expect there to be so many small animals. "

"Maybe it's because beggars often bring food back and share it with these stray animals, so there are more and more stray animals here."

Uncle Sam sneezed, rubbed his nose and said, "There weren't so many animals here before, and they started to increase gradually after the beggars came."

"Sometimes I would even laugh at him, saying that he was running an animal relief station, feeding the cats and dogs with the food that everyone gave him."

"Otherwise, the food we give him every day is enough to fatten him up."

While everyone was teasing each other, Lu Weiwei suddenly found that Gu Chen had disappeared.

She quickly stood up, and after looking around, she said loudly, "Junior Brother Gu, where are you?"

"I'm here."

From a corner not far away, Gu Chen's response suddenly came.

"My God! Why did you go there?" Just now, she was busy hiding from the rain and watching the cat, but she didn't notice Gu Chen's departure.

Lu Weiwei pulled Yuan Shasha up and said, "Xiao Yuan, let's go and have a look."

"Okay." Yuan Shasha lowered her head, and the two of them walked towards the depths of the abandoned building together dodging the ruins and obstacles.

After calling around for a while, I finally found Gu Chen according to the source of the sound.

At this time, Gu Chen was squatting quietly in an extremely narrow basement, using the tools in his hands to collect objects on the scene.

"What are you doing?" Lu Weiwei was so curious that she squatted down and approached Gu Chen curiously.

"I found some fresh blood." Gu Chen, wearing white gloves, moistened the bright red on the wall with water, then stained the blood with a napkin, and put it into a transparent evidence collection tape.

"You even brought out these equipment?" Seeing what Gu Chen took out from the equipment, Yuan Shasha was speechless.

Logically speaking, the main task of everyone coming to Luocheng, Italy is to patrol.

But Gu Chen brought over almost all of the things he handled the case in Jiangnan City.

Lu Weiwei grinned, and hurriedly asked, "Why is there so much blood here?"

"It's because of fighting." After collecting the blood samples, Gu Chen took out his phone and took pictures of several walls to collect evidence.

Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha, on the other hand, carefully observed the state of the wall according to Gu Chen's photo prompts.

Both of them were shocked to find that there were many marks of heavy blows at the scene.

"What's going on?" Lu Weiwei couldn't help feeling a chill.

Compared with the indifference just now, the current Lu Weiwei, from Gu Chen's calm expression, found that the scene was extremely frightening.

"Gu... Junior brother Gu, could it be... Could this be the scene where the beggar monkey was killed?"

Gu Chen suddenly stopped moving, hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Lu Weiwei and said, "From the traces left at the scene, I can conclude that the brutality of the fighting here is not ordinary cruelty."

"Gu Chen." Just as Gu Chen was speaking, Anna, Officer Wang, Officer George and Uncle Sam also appeared not far away.

Ananda frowned slightly, full of urgency.

The first one stepped forward and asked, "How did you find out about this place?"

"Footprints." Gu Chen pointed to Anna's right without hesitation, and said, "Entering here from the outside has been left with a deep mark. I found this place based on the footprints."

"Is that so?" Anna nodded silently, looked around for a week, and asked, "Could this be the place where beggars live?"

"It should be." Gu Chen continued to lower his head, pointing the angle of the phone camera at Lu Weiwei's right side.

Lu Weiwei moved her feet and was about to change her posture, but Gu Chen suddenly stopped her.

"Senior Sister Lu, you'd better not walk around casually, you almost destroyed an important clue." Gu Chen said.

"What?" Lu Weiwei was puzzled, and after looking around, she smiled and said, "You mean the footprints beside me?"

"Yes." Gu Chen gently pushed Lu Weiwei behind her, and then took a picture of a footprint with her mobile phone.

Officer Wang took a few steps forward and discovered the mystery. He couldn't help but smiled and said, "This footprint is not from a beggar."

"That's right." Gu Chen, who had finished the on-site shooting, stood up and said, "Judging from the completeness of the footprints, these should be a brand new pair of leather shoes, because there is no wear on the heel, and the lines are very clear."

Going to another angle, Gu Chen picked up a wooden stick around him and used it as a pointer: "Look, there is an eagle totem in the center of the outsole, which is clearly visible. Compared with the dilapidated footprints around, it is simply heaven and earth. difference."

"Really." According to Gu Chen's reminder, Lu Weiwei smiled and said after comparing, "These old footprints and the soles of the shoes are so damaged, they should belong to beggars."

Turning her head to look at the other side, Lu Weiwei frowned slightly, and said again: "And this footprint is a pair of new leather shoes, which means it's another person, but how could there be another person in this kind of place?"

"That's right." Yuan Shasha also agreed, "This place is extremely cramped, and it's difficult to walk into it, and the smell is very strong. Who would come here if normal people have nothing to do?"

"That's right." Gu Chen smiled lightly and said, "Of course there must be a purpose for coming here, because the murderer is here and killed a poor beggar."

"What... what?" Uncle Sam was startled suddenly, and he couldn't help but say, "You said, the beggar monkey was killed?"

"That's right." Seeing Uncle Sam's suspicion, Gu Chen simply revealed the clues he had investigated.

"I found this place just now based on the footprints on the side of the road, and found that people used to live here, because the bed is here."

Gu Chen pointed to a small nest piled up with hay and rags beside him.

"No... that's right, it is indeed possible to live in people." Lu Weiwei on the side said with certainty.

"But that's not the key, here is." Gu Chen pointed the wooden stick at the many bloodstains on the wall, as well as some marks left by heavy blows.

Anna and Officer George looked at each other, and the two quickly took out their flashlights and searched in the direction Gu Chen pointed out just now.

"That's right, the bloodstain is new." Officer George frowned, and continued to look at the next location, feeling a bit of shock: "But...but here? How could the people here be hit hard?"

"Officer George, I can demonstrate it to you." Gu Chen has already simulated the situation on the spot with the help of expert-level observation and expert-level judgment.

He first found a hard brick nearby, then came to the spot just now, pointed to the small nest and said, "I'm assuming now that the beggar sleeps here, and I want to face the direction of the beggar."

"However, there is a problem. This area is very narrow, and it will be difficult to use it if you do it, so this will happen."

Gu Chen took the bricks and began to imitate the performance.

Just when the first movement was completed, everyone suddenly realized.
