I am a super cop

Chapter 682 You are lying
"You mean there are shoe prints on the ground outside the window?" Anna followed Gu Chen's train of thought and even poked her head out of the window.

However, after scanning around, Anna, who didn't find anything, still asked Gu Chen, "Outside the window is the lawn, and it rained heavily last night."

"It stands to reason that even if there are footprints, they are almost washed away, and I haven't seen them now."

"I'm just assuming, or ruling out." After Gu Chen's voice fell, he pointed to the window sill and said, "I checked the window sill, and there is no trace of friction."

"To be precise, there are no traces of shoes being scratched."

"And if someone enters the house with the door locked, the open window is undoubtedly the best breakthrough, but I didn't find any footprints on the window sill, and there were no traces of cleaning."

"This means... Even if Zhou Ting kept the window open last night, no one entered the study through the window sill, right?" Anna asked.

Gu Chen took a deep breath: "For now, this is the case, and there are no footprints on the lawn outside the window."

"Actually, so what if it rains heavily? What should be left will remain, but it hasn't."

"Gu Chen, are you ruling out the possibility of the suspected murderer entering through the window?"

Anna seemed to understand what Gu Chen meant.

Indeed, the door of the villa is locked, and the only room that can be entered is undoubtedly the study on the first floor.

According to the nanny Dai Li, when she left Zhou Ting's house, she found that Zhou Ting's study room was lit with candles and even the windows were open.

If no one entered the house, then Zhou Ting's sudden death might have been an accident of her own.

Myocardial infarction caused by a sudden cold, but died in his study because there was no one to help him in the house.

Such reasoning seems to be explained.

However, while Gu Chen was discussing with Anna, Huang Zhifeng, the fiancé of the deceased Zhou Ting, was also brought to the scene.

At this moment, compared to the excitement just now, Huang Zhifeng seemed a little calm now, and while looking at everyone, he stopped yelling.

But the body doesn't lie...

Huang Zhifeng's legs were still trembling, and his face was still pale.

"Huang Zhifeng." Gu Chen called him, and then brought Huang Zhifeng back to reality from the state of mental dislocation.

"Gu...Officer Gu." Huang Zhifeng glanced at Gu Chen, and his attitude became humble.

Gu Chen walked up to him and asked, "Did you quarrel with Zhou Ting last night?"

"Yes... yes." Huang Zhifeng glanced at the nanny Dai Li beside him.

Knowing that Delly was the witness last night, she didn't dare to talk about it.

"What's the reason for the quarrel?" Anna asked.

"Because... because, because of some trivial matters in life." Huang Zhifeng lowered his head slowly, not daring to look directly into Anna's eyes.

"Is it because of the debate?"

Gu Chen was also merciless, and directly exposed the problem to the surface.

At this moment, Huang Zhifeng's expression changed suddenly.

He knew that the nanny, Dai Li, had disclosed to the police the content of her quarrel with Zhou Ting last night.

He looked into Gu Chen's eyes, trembling all over, and said weakly: "Since you know, why bother to ask, I am your defeated general, I... I admit it, don't you... don't you allow me?" Throwing a tantrum and complaining?"

"I had a big fight with Zhou Ting just because I lost the game and was depressed, but... But, I didn't kill Zhou Ting at all."

"Are you the last one to leave Zhou Ting's room yesterday?" Gu Chen asked.

"It's... isn't it?" Huang Zhifeng looked at the crowd, speaking without confidence.

When Anna heard this, she also said angrily: "Yes, yes, no, no, what is 'right'? Don't you understand what we mean?"

"Officer...officer, I...I'm really not sure, because...because after I left, I don't know who has been to Zhou Ting's room. Really, I just left and didn't know anything. I don't know who else has been there."

Inadvertently, Huang Zhifeng glanced across the crowd, and soon spotted the nanny Dai Li.

He immediately pointed to Delly and said, "Oh, by the way, Delly was the last one to leave Zhou Ting's house, she was the last one to leave."

"No...not." It was also mentioned suddenly by Huang Zhifeng, and the nanny Dai Li looked like a cat with fried fur, shrinking back in fright: "Police...Police officer, I'm not the last one to go out."

"Anyway, when I left Zhou Ting's house, you were still there, and I don't know about it after that." Huang Zhifeng also insisted, which caught the nanny Dai Li by surprise, and she was about to cry.

Dai Li hurried to Gu Chen and Anna and complained: "Officer, I was not the last one to leave home. Didn't I tell you before? I was going to leave and change my shoes at the door."

"At that time, Huang Zhifeng hurried out of the house, so I fell behind, but as for what happened in the study, I didn't know anything. I changed my shoes and left."

"Then...then I wasn't the last one to leave." Huang Zhifeng also quickly defended himself.

The two began to shirk and argue with each other, which made the study room lively.

"Okay, stop arguing and be quiet." Anna walked between the two of them, telling them to shut up as soon as possible.

Then he turned around and asked Huang Zhifeng: "From the current point of view, you should be the last one to leave the study last night, so tell me, what did Zhou Ting do when you left the study yesterday? The more detailed the better."

"Zhou Ting? She..." Huang Zhifeng lowered his head, meditated for a few seconds, and then said: "After we quarreled, I was in a bad mood, so I said go back and calm down. Zhou Ting told me to get out, and she picked up the The papers on the desk, as if to continue working."

"There is no electricity and she works by candles. This Zhou Ting is really a workaholic." Yuan Shasha couldn't help muttering to herself when she heard Huang Zhifeng's words.

However, Gu Chen was suddenly reminded, his eyes lit up immediately, and he quickly looked around and said, "Yes, there was a power outage last night, Zhou Ting lit candles, but why didn't I see candles here?"

"Candle?" Anna was also surprised when she heard this.

For a moment, everyone looked at each other and began to look for the candle.

A sudden reminder made everyone start to be alert.

But at this moment, a young Italian policeman weakly raised his hand and said, "The wax... the candle was originally on the table. I picked it up and checked it when I entered the scene. George asked me to help , So... so, so I just put it on the dining table by the door."

"What did you say?" George heard the words, and pointed at the young police officer on the spot and shouted angrily: "What did I tell you? The items on the scene cannot be moved casually, but how can you take the items on the scene to other places? You are you crazy?"

"Joe...George, don't get excited, I was a little distracted at the time, and you were calling me, so I didn't realize it at the time, so I..."

"Okay, okay, don't pursue this anymore." Anna looked at the young police officer and said, "Go and get the things."

"Yes." Seeing that he was in trouble, the young police officer didn't dare to neglect, and ran out of the study in a hurry.

Not long after, he walked in front of everyone with a candle holder.

Gu Chen was the first to take the wax table from the young police officer, and after looking around, he asked, "There are actually people stocking candles and candle tables in ordinary people's homes. Is it true that there are frequent power outages in this area?"

"Occasionally." Dai Li, the nanny on the side, said, "There have been several major failures in the lines in this area, so there are always power outages during that time."

"The surrounding residents were very annoyed by this, and complained to the power company several times, so in order to calm the public anger, the power company sent some candles and candle holders door-to-door, saying that it would let everyone deal with it for a few days, and wait until the power failure was resolved. "

"So since then, there have been more of these things at home, just for emergency use, but I didn't expect the power to go out last night, so I used them."

Listening to the nanny Dai Li's words, Anna looked up at her and said, "Zhou Ting has an old problem of myocardial infarction, right?"

"Yes." Nanny Delly nodded slightly.

"That is to say, Zhou Ting's myocardial infarction was caused by a sudden cold?" Anna asked again.

"Yes, the personal doctor has repeatedly reminded Zhou Ting to pay attention to this aspect, so I think it should be." Nanny Dai Li said.

Anna looked at the candle on the candle stand, and when the wax oil dripped down the candle and piled up in an even ball on the candle stand, she couldn't help but say: "I think this candle should be tested to see if it is Contains highly toxic substances, what do you think?"

"I agree with Anna's opinion." Officer George said first: "The probability of a sudden cold causing a myocardial infarction is very low, but it just happened. I think the possibility of a coincidence is very low."

"And if it is confirmed that Zhou Ting died of poisoning, then that's another matter, right Officer Gu? Eh? Gu... Officer Gu?"

George originally wanted to discuss with Gu Chen, but found that Gu Chen was no longer by his side. After looking around in the crowd, he found that Gu Chen had long since disappeared.

"Where did Gu Chen go?" Officer George was confused.

"Just...he was here just now." Anna also looked left and right, feeling as if Gu Chen had disappeared out of thin air.

Lu Weiwei was also stunned, and hurriedly asked Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, "Which of you saw Junior Brother Gu?"

"I didn't see it." Yuan Shasha shook her head.

Officer Wang also wondered: "But he was still here just now, why did he disappear suddenly? Where did this guy go?"

"Officer Gu!"

"Gu Chen!"

"Where are you?"

For a moment, the crowd in the study kept shouting, as if Gu Chen disappeared out of thin air, a little weird.

However, not long after, Gu Chen appeared at the door again: "I'm here."

"Junior Brother Gu." Lu Weiwei trotted all the way to Gu Chen's side, and asked weakly, "Where did you go just now? We were all looking for you."

"I went to other places to check just now." Gu Chen put his hands on his chest, bowed his head and walked to the middle of the crowd.

Yuan Shasha looked curious, and hurriedly asked: "Then Senior Brother Gu, did you find anything?"

Gu Chen didn't answer right away, but looked up at the crowd and said, "Well, everyone, come with me."

After the words fell, Gu Chen walked out the door directly.

"What's wrong with Gu Chen?"

"I don't know? Did he find something?"

"This guy is mysterious, what the hell is he doing?"

"Don't guess, follow up and have a look."

All the police officers at the scene, after looking at each other in blank dismay, chose to follow Gu Chen's footsteps, and came outside the villa together.

At this moment, Gu Chen was standing by the garden, looking in the direction of the study with his arms crossed.

And everyone who came after that also gathered around Gu Chen, followed Gu Chen's gaze, and stared at the study together.

"See what's coming?" Gu Chen reminded the surrounding crowd.

The scene suddenly fell silent.

After everyone looked at each other, they began to join the ranks of everyone finding fault.

After some pondering, Lu Weiwei took the lead and said: "On the whole, there is nothing special about it except for the traces of the house being wet by rain."

"By the way, this is what I want." Gu Chen looked at Lu Weiwei and said with a smile.

"Just... that's it?" Lu Weiwei didn't understand, and hurriedly asked again: "Junior Brother Gu, what do you want to say?"

"That's right, Gu Chen, is there anything wrong with this?" Anna on the side was also a little anxious.

Gu Chen unhurriedly pointed at the villa and said, "From the outside, this villa has been built a long time ago, and many materials are relatively old, including the walls, which obviously have traces of whitewashing."

"That's right. This villa has a history of decades. If it weren't for the good location, many people would not choose to live here."

"However, due to the existence of housing renovation and decoration companies, many old villas have been renovated. Zhou Ting bought this villa not long ago. I heard that it was quite old at the time, so I asked someone to renovate the walls. What else? It hasn’t changed much.”

Nanny Delly said the same thing.

Gu Chen didn't deny it, but just nodded and said, "Actually, that's not the point I'm talking about. I just feel that the wall paint is a bit cut corners, so that the rainwater will still leave deep marks on the wall."

As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Officer George took a few steps forward and said, "That's right, the rain still left deep marks on the wall."

Looking back at Gu Chen, Officer George asked again: "But, what do you want to say?"

"The direction the rain is blowing." Gu Chen said.

"Flying direction?" Officer George frowned, and turned his gaze to the villa again.

After some careful observation, he said: "From the traces of the rain, it should be towards the direction of the study."

"You're right, Officer George, so now everyone come into the house with me again." Gu Chen was mysterious, and left the garden directly.

Everyone was puzzled, but they didn't know what Gu Chen wanted to express, so a group of people followed Gu Chen's steps again and came to the living room together.

This time Gu Chen did not go to the study, but to the next door to the study, a room where sundries are placed.

The utility room is side by side with the study room, the space is small, and there is not much decoration, and most of the repair tools and discarded items are stored in it.

Gu Chen came to the window, pointed directly at the window sill and said, "I have checked this room, the utility room usually does not have windows open, so the heavy rain last night did not break into the windows."

"But because this villa is a bit old, the windows are not made of aluminum alloy but wooden, so..."

Without further ado, Gu Chen directly opened the iron bolt of the window with his gloved hands, then stepped aside and said, "Everyone can see the color inside and outside the window."

Police officer George frowned, glanced at Anna beside him, feeling a little puzzled, so he walked to Gu Chen's side first, and checked the inside and outside of the window.

"The wooden windows are really old." Officer George introduced to everyone while looking at the two sides: "There is no problem inside, and the wooden frames outside are all wet."

He touched the outside of the window with his hand: "Well, it's still wet."

"It's all right, Officer George, you can go to the study next door to have a look." After Gu Chen finished speaking, he walked out of the crowd and came to the scene of the crime just now.

But at this moment, the clever policeman had roughly guessed Gu Chen's intentions. Yuan Shasha went to the window sill of the study first, opened the fixed latch, folded back the single window, and checked the inside and outside of the wooden window, but was surprised. a bit.

"This... This is the same as the window in the next room just now, only the outside is heavily soaked, while the inside is dry."

"What? The inside is dry?" Police officer George, who hadn't figured out what Gu Chen meant before, hurried to Yuan Shasha and checked it again.

Seeing this scene, Officer George also chuckled, turned his head to Gu Chen and said, "Officer Gu, I know what you mean, you want to say that this window was never opened at all last night? "

"Yes." Gu Chen nodded silently, and said involuntarily, "The window must have never been opened, as it can be seen from the impact of the rainwater on the window sill."

"If the windows had been opened last night, the impact of the rain would have soaked the inside and outside of the wooden windows, but what we saw wasn't."

"And I also checked the window sill, and there is no sign of being wet."

Looking back at the nanny Dai Li, Gu Chen smiled lightly: "But this is interesting. Ms. Dai Li told me that she left Zhou Ting's house last night and found that the window of Zhou Ting's study room was open and candles were still burning. at work."

"And Ms. Dai Li came to Zhou Ting's house early this morning, only to find that Zhou Ting died in the study. The point is, the window is open."

"Then this is very interesting. Who opened the window? Or did Ms. Dai Li open the window after she came to Zhou Ting's study?"

"This……"

When Gu Chen suddenly asked her, the nanny Dai Li's face turned blue, and she couldn't help but take two steps back in fright.

At this moment, all the police officers on the scene, following Gu Chen's prompt, cast their eyes on Dai Li.

"Are you lying?" Lu Weiwei stepped forward, pointing at Delly.

"I... I didn't, I didn't lie, I didn't."

Compared with before, at this moment, Delly is obviously a little panicked.

She looked left and right, and was eager to defend herself: "You... you guys let me think about it, let me think about it again, this... this must be your mistake, it must be."

"Or am I mistaken? No, give me some time, please."
