I am a super cop

Chapter 652 The gap may start from mathematics

In the living room on the second floor.

Everyone stood there dumbfounded, as if the answer came too fast like a tornado...

The case that had been in a deadlock before had a dramatic turning point.

Find the owner of the leather shoes with the eagle totem on the outsole, and you will find the real murderer.

Such things are now in front of everyone.

George and Anna only felt that the case went smoothly, maybe it was because Gu Chen provided clues continuously?
Yes, this is very important.

Although neither George nor Anna wanted to admit it was true, it happened.

This made the two very tangled.

"Anna." Gu Chen's reminder immediately brought Anna who was silent in meditation back to reality.

"Huh?" Anna was taken aback.

"Go to Simon and investigate Simon's activities in the past two days." Gu Chen said.

"Understood." Anna nodded quickly.

The first task now is indeed to find Simon.

With the imperative determination, Gu Chen's police team followed Anna and George again and drove back to Simon's house.

At this time, Simon was leisurely trimming the yard.

Facing the sudden police, Simon was stunned for a moment, he put down the tools at hand and stepped forward.

The two people looked at each other through the fence, and Simon was the first to let go: "Officer Anna, why are you here again? Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Of course, of course we need your help." Anna nodded very positively.

She is very confident now, at least Gu Chen has helped herself find the key to the problem.

And now I have a trump card in my hand, which is the pair of leather shoes Simon ordered.

"'Artisan family', do you know this shoe store?" Anna asked.

Simon was taken aback, but he quickly reacted, and said with a smile, "Yes, I know, I ordered leather shoes there, and their leather shoes are expensive, they can be called the Rolls-Royce of leather shoes."

Speaking of this, Simon also noticed something, and he quickly asked again: "What? What are you asking these for?"

"Can we see those leather shoes?" Gu Chen said.

"This..." Simon hesitated for a while.

Gu Chen's gaze was obviously different from before, which made Simon instinctively alert.

But at this moment, Lu Weiwei discovered that there were several eagle totems in the soil under Simon's feet.

At this moment, Lu Weiwei almost screamed and said, "Look, it's an eagle totem."

After the words fell, everyone's eyes turned to Simon's feet.

This made Simon take two steps back instinctively, and said in amazement, "You... what are you doing?"

"Simon, we suspect that you are suspected of killing a beggar monkey. Gu Chen clicked on the photo album on his mobile phone, and showed the totem of the footprints photographed at the scene in front of Simon and said:

"This is the footprint we found at the scene, which is very consistent with the leather shoes on your feet, so we now suspect that you are the murderer of the beggar monkey."

"Hehe, this may be the biggest joke I've heard today." Simon laughed dryly, and said helplessly, "Just because of this? Do you suspect it's me?"

"That's right, just rely on this." Gu Chen also directly turned back, saying: "We have investigated the footprints at the scene, and the eagle totem is very important."

Gu Chen supported the fence with one hand, jumped straight up, stepped over the fence handsomely, and came to Simon.

Gu Chen didn't speak, but directly squatted down, took the photo totem in the phone, and repeatedly compared it with the soil imprint under Simon's feet.

Afterwards, Gu Chen even took out a small tape measure from his police equipment bag, and measured the footprints that Simon stepped on.

Officer George was stunned. He quickly touched Anna's shoulder and reminded him in a low voice, "It's on our territory. Is it appropriate for Gu Chen to do this?"

"What's inappropriate?" Anna glanced at him and said softly, "Didn't you see? Gu Chen is helping us, he has been helping us from the very beginning, otherwise we still have no clue."

"However, he will make me feel that I am a waste." Officer George shrugged and said bluntly.

As for Gu Chen, George now somewhat understands it.

This is an out-and-out case maniac.

Once there is a case clue, Gu Chen can always find a breakthrough in the first time.

In this regard, George has to admire the professionalism of this Chinese policeman, and even his astonishing efficiency.

In comparison, George suddenly felt like a useless waste.

Everything at the scene was under Gu Chen's control.

After some measurements, Gu Chen stood up and said calmly, "You are right, the size of the shoe is the same as the one I measured on site, and the rubber outsole of these custom-made leather shoes is made of Carved by hand by a shoemaker."

"For now, the 'Craftsman Family' has only made one order, and the buyer is you, Mr. Simon."

"This... this must be a misunderstanding." Simon was dumbfounded.

He didn't expect that Gu Chen would find his weakness from such subtle clues.

Before the police did anything, he hurried to avenge himself.

However, these Gu Chen are not interested.

Gu Chen came here to verify his investigation.

Now that the result was out, Gu Chen simply felt relieved and handed the case back to George.

Walking past George, Gu Chen said with a smile, "Officer George, I will leave the rest to you. You know what to do, right?"

"Of course." George was stunned for a moment before he realized, "Leave the rest to me."

……

……

Everyone escorted Simon back to Luocheng Police Station.

Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha were drinking coffee in the office.

Mario and Fabio are investigating Simon's whereabouts in the last two days.

George sent additional staff to confirm the findings of Mario and Fabio.

And he will personally interrogate Simon.

All the coordination was seamless, and everyone started to get busy.

Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, Anna suddenly walked in from the outside, walked directly to Gu Chen's side and said, "I've already checked, Simon has been very strange these two days."

"Strange?" Gu Chen couldn't help being taken aback, and quickly asked, "Which aspect are you referring to?"

"It's weird in every way." Anna took Gu Chen's untouched coffee, took a sip, raised her glass and said, "Thank you for the coffee."

"You're welcome." Gu Chen didn't mind.

After calming down, Anna said again: "Simon said that he saw Lisa's ex-husband Paul for the last time two days ago. In the next two days, he started buying a lot of flowers and decorating the yard."

"You know, a rich man like Simon always hires a gardener to take care of the yard, but this time it's different. He actually bought flowers and decorated the yard himself."

After thinking about it, Anna said again: "You also saw him in the afternoon, he was actually trimming the vegetation in the yard, and according to a gardener he once hired according to our investigation, Simon never took care of the yard by himself. It's weird isn't it?"

"He's trying to cover up." Gu Chen frowned slightly, and continued: "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. If a person doesn't usually do a certain thing, but now suddenly does it, it means that he has something in his heart."

"As for the current Simon, I feel that he can be abnormal, but the timing is wrong. Doing abnormal things at the wrong time is easy to make people suspicious."

"you mean……"

"I mean the two days when Paul disappeared and the beggar monkey was killed." Gu Chen responded to Anna's question.

"Yes." Anna suddenly slapped the table, stood up and said, "If the usual Simon wants to change his habits temporarily, it may be reasonable."

"But too many things have happened in the past few days. After Paul got the money from Simon, he disappeared from there."

"However, the beggar monkey was accidentally killed, and was brutally set on fire. The whole body was burnt beyond recognition."

"And now it can be confirmed that the person who killed the beggar monkey should be Simon, but what about Paul? Where did Paul go? Why was Paul's fingerprints found on a bicycle near the charred body of the beggar monkey?"

"And not only that, we even found the Rose Hotel where Paul stayed and confirmed that Paul did indeed live there."

"If the beggar monkey was killed by Simon, then what about the fingerprints left by Paul at the scene?"

"It's used to mislead you." Seeing that Anna was unresponsive, Gu Chen directly pointed out: "Simon left Paul's fingerprints at the scene, nothing more than to mislead you and make you believe that the charred body at night is Paul."

"It makes sense." Anna nodded slightly, and said with a little hesitation: "But, the purpose of Simon doing this is to plant Paul?"

"Pfft!" Seeing that Gu Chen had said it so clearly, Anna still didn't react.

Lu Weiwei, who was drinking coffee, couldn't sit still, thinking that it's okay for foreigners to be bad at math, and even think about the most basic logical reasoning.

Don't worry too much about this...

So Lu Weiwei directly explained: "What I mean, Junior Brother Gu, is that Simon killed the beggar monkey for real, but the monkey has no grievances with him. Why did he do this?"

"Yeah, why would he do that?" Anna was puzzled.

Lu Weiwei shrugged and sighed, "Because he wants you to believe that the charred body is Paul."

"Furthermore, Paul's fingerprints on the bicycle at the scene, and the room key of the Rose Hotel that was deliberately left for you are actually deliberately misleading you to investigate, so that you can confirm that the charred body is Paul."

"Because Simon did this to protect someone, otherwise he wouldn't make the beggar monkey a scapegoat. He should be covering up some important clues."

Glancing at the sluggish Anna, Lu Weiwei continued to remind: "Then who do you think Simon wants to protect the most?"

"Li... Lisa?" Lu Weiwei had already hinted here, and Anna also blurted out.

"That's right, it's Lisa." Seeing Anna suddenly realize, Lu Weiwei also heaved a sigh of relief: "Because the person Simon cares about is Lisa, and Paul is Lisa's ex-husband, Paul and Lisa have conflicts, and Simon killed him." They killed an unrelated beggar monkey, let Paul's fingerprints appear on the scene, and successfully deceived everyone."

"From this point of view, Simon is nothing more than to protect Lisa. Now you understand, don't you?"

After Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Anna was already in a daze.

And Mario and Fabio also looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling that the logical reasoning of the Chinese police is so powerful?

If it weren't for Lu Weiwei and Gu Chen to peel off the cocoon, this kind of question would obviously be difficult to understand in everyone's mind.

Gu Chen took over the topic and said, "Anna, have you ever thought about Lisa's unusual behavior on the night the beggar monkey's body was burned in the fire?"

"She took the kids to the movies and ate Chinese food, and..."

After thinking about it, Anna said again: "In addition, she also met colleagues that night, and sang with them until late at night."

Speaking of this, Anna seemed to think of something, he suddenly raised his head to look at Gu Chen, seeing Gu Chen nodded slightly, Anna said:

"I see, all that Simon did was to help Lisa cover, because he wanted to create an alibi for Lisa."

"Yes." Seeing that Anna finally guessed the result, Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Simon has done so much, all for Lisa."

"We were in Uncle Sam's yard before, and I already asked clearly that Lisa is a person who has debt pressure and has to raise her children alone, so Lisa is not a person with a desire to consume."

"But the situation last night was just the opposite. I checked, and it wasn't Lisa's child's birthday, nor was it Lisa's important anniversary. It was purely random consumption."

"And playing until the early hours of the morning before going home, this is far beyond Lisa's normal behavior norms, so this can be called an anomaly."

"Yes." Mario on the side was also very sure: "Gu Chen, what you said makes sense, Lisa is indeed a little abnormal here."

"This police officer has already made it so clear." Fabio on the side couldn't sit still anymore, and directly interjected, "Lisa, why did she go home until early in the morning? And she was playing the whole time, and there were witnesses. "

"This shows that Lisa is cooperating with that Simon. Simon created an alibi for her, and Lisa made good use of it in order to cover up the murder."

Listening to Fabio's words, a smile crossed the corner of Gu Chen's mouth.

"It seems that Officer Fabio has already figured out the situation. Yes, the reason why Simon has gone through a lot of trouble is to convince us that the charred body is Paul, and when Lisa set fire to the body last night , not at the scene, it’s as simple as that.”

Listening to Gu Chen's speech, many Italian policemen began to applaud and congratulate.

In everyone's opinion, this kind of logical reasoning is actually not difficult, but the difficulty lies in the unexpected.

If it wasn't for Gu Chen to guide step by step according to the clues, everyone's efficiency in handling the case might be really unflattering.

At least now everyone knows that Simon and Lisa are together, and the beggar monkey is the charred corpse.

Now Paul's whereabouts became the final question.

Anna was a little embarrassed, and asked Gu Chen weakly: "Gu Chen, where do you think Paul, who should have been burned, is now?"

"Yeah, where is Paul? He left fingerprints at the scene."

"That means that Paul must be related. If Paul can't find it, then the case will not be considered a success."

"That's right, you can't count Paul as a missing person, right?"

……

In the office, many Italian police officers were whispering.

In terms of logical reasoning, the Italian police are indeed inferior to the Chinese police team. This gap may have gradually widened from the beginning of mathematics...

Seeing that everyone's discussion was still going on, Gu Chen smiled and said, "Officer Anna, if I heard correctly just now, Simon's gardener said that Simon never tended the garden, and these two days, he suddenly started to work hard. Wake up, don't you think it's strange?"

"You mean... the garden?" Anna seemed to be following Gu Chen's train of thought.

Gu Chen nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "If Lisa before said that she acted abnormally at night to cooperate with Simon's alibi, then what is Simon's abnormality?"

"Since Paul's fingerprints will appear at the site of the burnt corpse at the construction site, it means that there is a joint relationship between Paul and Simon."

"As for Simon's abnormal behavior in the past two days, can I understand it this way? He wants to tidy up the garden himself, not on a whim, but to cover up the truth of the garden."

"I see." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Anna suddenly said in shock: "The dead body in the garden, Paul's dead body must be hidden in Simon's garden, because Paul was probably killed a few days ago." kill."

Thinking of this, Anna covered her cheeks and said incredulously, "My God! Isn't this crazy? Is it true?"

She looked at Gu Chen, wanting to get confirmation from Gu Chen.

And Gu Chen also said very straightforwardly: "Anna, since you think so, why don't you send someone to the garden of Simon's house to look at the areas where the soil has been moved recently, maybe you will find something unexpected."

"That's right, I should do it now." Anna didn't care too much, she took out her mobile phone and started various contacts. "

Seeing that it's time to get off work.

Gu Chen felt that this day was fulfilling and boring.

Enrichment is because I have the honor to participate in all the cases throughout the day, and based on the clues I found on the scene, I found the root of the problem like a cocoon, so that I can always maintain a peak state.

And boring because it all depends on peers to set off...

In terms of logical reasoning, the Italian police are indeed somewhat unsatisfactory.

Maybe it's because the Chinese police team is too good?At least Gu Chen thought so.

After all, even Lu Weiwei can quickly find the key to the problem based on the clues she provided.

But others are far from satisfactory...

Gu Chen informed the Italian police of the solutions to all the problems in the most appropriate way.

It is nothing more than considering that the Chinese police team I am in is mainly for exchange and learning, and cannot participate too much in handling cases.

But if Zhao Guozhi had delegated power to him back then, Gu Chen can guarantee that the Italian police in these offices would all have to be his assistants.

After all, the daily life of a capable policeman is so unpretentious and boring.
