I am a super cop

Chapter 2407 Mysterious Bloodstains [[-] in [-]]

I feel like I can't explain why now, but Zhao Deming is still trying his best to win the trust of Gu Chen's team.

Lu Weiwei took a step forward and said, "Ever since your friend came here, and your indifference, even a week after your friend came here, you haven't made a single call, and you don't know if she has left."

After a pause, Lu Weiwei tried to calm down and said helplessly: "I don't know, what on earth are you thinking?"

"I'm busy with work." Faced with Lu Weiwei's questioning, Zhao Deming still looked quibbling.

Of course, the circumstances that Zhao Deming later explained were basically true after investigation by Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha.

It shows that after Zhao Deming left, the pancake proprietress did still stay in the supermarket to buy items.

But the difficulty is that there are no cameras installed in the nearby area.

It was originally a mining area, a place with ravines, and there were no surveillance cameras installed, so a lot of evidence could not be obtained.

Faced with Zhao Deming's remarks, no one could even find a reason to refute.

Gu Chen hesitated for a moment, then approached Lu Weiwei and asked in a low voice: "Senior Sister Lu, has the evidence collection work in the pancake proprietress's room been completed?"

"It's over. We've also checked it carefully. Apart from what we saw on the spot, there are basically no other abnormalities." Lu Weiwei said.

"Ask the owner of the guest house to seal off the room and not let anyone in or out. In addition, we need to go to Zhao Deming's residence to investigate." Gu Chen gave suggestions.

Lu Weiwei nodded silently: "Leave this to me, I will go and communicate with the owner of the guest house."

"Yes." Gu Chen nodded silently and watched Lu Weiwei walk towards the front desk of the guest house.

Here Lu Weiwei was already communicating with the owner of the guest house, and Gu Chen also came to Zhao Deming and said solemnly:

"Manager Zhao, in view of the circumstances you mentioned, we need to verify it, but for now, we need to go to your residence to investigate. Isn't it convenient?"

"Uh……"

Listening to Gu Chen's words, Zhao Deming suddenly hesitated.

When Officer Wang saw this, he also took a step forward and said, "What? Is it inconvenient?"

"Well, it's convenient, of course it's convenient." Feeling that he had no reason to refuse, Zhao Deming agreed decisively after a brief thought:
"Then...then please."

"Where is your residence?" Yuan Shasha asked.

"It's in the mining area. Because the mine is managed by the boss, I usually live in the dormitory in the mining area. There is a community over there for us staff to live."

"And where I live is also in that community."

"Okay, you take us there." Gu Chen didn't want to talk nonsense to Zhao Deming.

It feels like at this moment, Zhao Deming’s situation needs to be thoroughly clarified.

After a detailed investigation by Gu Chen and others, Zhao Deming gradually discovered that the police seemed to have focused their investigation on him as an important suspect.

Every move he makes now may arouse the suspicion of the police, so Zhao Deming has no other better way besides cooperating with Gu Chen's team.

After waiting for Lu Weiwei to return, everyone got back into Zhao Deming's commercial vehicle and followed Zhao Deming back to the mining area.

After passing through the gate of the mining area, everyone drove along the wall and came to an area with many trees.

In the center of these trees is an old community.

Zhao Deming, who was driving, also introduced it to everyone: "Our mining area has been mined before, but the technology is too backward."

"So, this old mine was sold to someone with relatively abundant funds, the current boss."

"This accommodation complex was built before. The houses are relatively old, but they are still suitable for living."

While talking, Zhao Deming took everyone to a parking lot.

Afterwards, Zhao Deming backed the car into the garage and took everyone to a single-family building near the community.

Lu Weiwei looked curious and asked quickly: "Is this the office area?"

"No." Zhao Deming shook his head and said with a smile: "This is my residence."

"You live alone in a single-family villa?" Officer Wang was a little surprised to see this difference.

But Zhao Deming said calmly: "Actually, it's nothing? There are many different buildings here."

"General company employees, as well as managers, live in old buildings like this in the community."

"However, there used to be several single-family villas here. They used to be used by senior managers and were called expert buildings."

"Expert building?" Hearing this name, she felt it was easy to understand, so Lu Weiwei asked Zhao Deming again: "So, you are an expert?"

"Uh... I guess. I have learned relevant technologies, but I am not a technical person, I just know a little bit about it. The technicians in our mine have their own suites."

Pointing to a new building not far away, Zhao Deming also reminded: "The conditions of that newly built building are better than those of the old buildings before."

"It is usually arranged for senior management and some technical backbones to live in."

Looking back at the single-family villa in front of him, Zhao Deming added: "Because I am a senior manager in the mining area, the boss gave me a separate villa in order to commend my performance."

"So, this small villa is usually for me to live in."

"Okay." Listening to Zhao Deming's somewhat showy introduction, Officer Wang nodded silently and complained:
"So, you should be quite respected by your boss?"

"You can say that." Zhao Deming nodded silently, couldn't help but take out the key, and continued:

"But that's okay? Because these villas are relatively old, just like self-built houses in rural areas."

"If you want to move this villa to the city, it might be worth some money and the environment will be better."

"But this is a mining area. No matter how good a house we give you, it's still in a ravine and doesn't have much value."

"Other than making the housing larger, it doesn't have much use."

While talking, Zhao Deming had already opened the door and invited everyone to come in.

"Do I need to take off my shoes?" Seeing that the ground was a little clean, Yuan Shasha asked one more question.

But Zhao Deming waved his hand and said: "No, there is not so much details here, you can just come in."

"It's better to wear shoe covers." Gu Chen didn't want to damage the traces here, so he took the initiative to take out the shoe covers he brought with him and put them on his shoes.

Seeing this, everyone else followed Gu Chen's example.

Zou Yaohua, who came with everyone, also received a shoe cover.

Seeing that everyone was so professional and even wearing masks, gloves and hoods, Zhao Deming knew that he seemed a little careless in calling the police in this time.

"You usually live here alone?" Gu Chen looked around and asked casually without rushing to check.

But Zhao Deming smiled and said: "Usually my family lives here, but as you know, this is a mining area and the air is not very good."

"My family still prefers to live in the city. This can only be regarded as a larger dormitory."

"You are quite humble." Gu Chen walked to the living room and observed the surroundings.

Zhao Deming continued to come to Gu Chen's side and echoed, "I am telling the truth. The main reason is that the boss thinks highly of me, so he gave me such a good accommodation environment."

"But sometimes, the leaders of these mining areas also live in the same community as me."

"When everyone has nothing to do, they will come to my house to gather. Sometimes, they will also come to my house for meetings in the middle of the night."

"In short, this is both my living area and my office area."

While he was talking, Zhao Deming was already on the coffee table, making tea for Gu Chen's team.

But Zhao Deming seemed to be cautious and only made four cups of tea, seemingly deliberately not leaving one cup for Zou Yaohua.

Of course, Zou Yaohua also noticed this move.

In Zou Yaohua's view, the mining area manager Zhao Deming was obviously targeting him.

He only poured tea for the police and deliberately ignored himself.

Maybe it was because I was stronger with him just now.

Of course, Zou Yaohua didn't like Zhao Deming at all, and this was Zhao Deming's residence, so he had to let him.

Gu Chen did not drink tea, but came to the kitchen, and then asked: "So, have you been living at home for the past week?"

"Yes." Zhao Deming nodded silently and took the initiative to walk to Gu Chen's side.

Gu Chen asked again: "So you live here alone? Hasn't anyone else come to your residence this week?"

"No." Faced with Gu Chen's question, Zhao Deming continued to shake his head in denial:

"Didn't I say it before? During this period, the superiors will come over for inspection. The specific time has not been determined."

"So our entire mining area has been focusing on production safety recently. The boss has put a lot of pressure on me, so I have no choice but to be busy."

"My family didn't invite anyone over for dinner parties or anything like that, and I didn't let the leaders come to my home for meetings."

"Yeah." After listening to Zhao Deming's explanation, Gu Chen probably understood the situation.

So he asked again: "So, you didn't invite your friend to sit at home?"

"No." Faced with Gu Chen's question, Zhao Deming still said firmly:

"Comrade police, I have already told you that I sent my friend to the guest house that day, but she didn't bring any daily necessities, so I accompanied her to the supermarket opposite to buy some."

"But because there are many difficult things to deal with here in the mining area, I can only leave early."

"I haven't had any contact with my friend since then."

It felt like Gu Chen couldn't get over this hurdle, and Zhao Deming tried his best to defend himself in various ways.

Gu Chen did not respond, but continued to check himself.

You know, Zhao Deming is now very suspicious. From what he said, Gu Chen is looking at the problem with reverse thinking.

Because many details are not consistent with common sense.

Of course, Gu Chen also needed to find enough evidence to prove his previous inference.

So, Gu Chen asked Zou Yaohua and Zhao Deming to stay in the living room and not to wander around.

Gu Chen himself, along with Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, began to conduct a detailed investigation of the entire house.

Since there weren't many abnormalities on the first floor, Gu Chen went directly to the master bedroom on the second floor.

Since only Zhao Deming lives in this villa, it is very convenient to find the master bedroom.

Pushing open the door to the master bedroom, Gu Chen clearly felt a strange atmosphere.

Seeing Gu Chen standing at the door, Lu Weiwei also came to her side and asked hurriedly: "Junior brother Gu, what's wrong?"

"The windows in this room are all closed, and the air is not very good." Gu Chen said.

"Yeah." Lu Weiwei sniffed and nodded in agreement: "It's a bit, it feels stuffy."

Gu Chen took a step forward and reached the bedside. However, Gu Chen stopped again and quietly felt the strangeness of the room.

Seeing this, Lu Weiwei continued to ask: "Junior Brother Gu, what's wrong?"

"Senior Sister Lu, do you smell anything?" Gu Chen turned around and said.

"What does it smell like?" Lu Weiwei frowned slightly after being reminded by Gu Chen, and soon her eyes lit up and she hurriedly said:

"I seem to smell a familiar smell, what is it?"

Shaking her finger, Lu Weiwei also suddenly realized: "Yes, it smells of blood."

"Yes, this smell is very familiar." Seeing Lu Weiwei express her judgment, Gu Chen nodded in agreement.

Because they often handle cases, everyone is naturally sensitive to the smell of blood.

But the windows in the room were closed, obviously not wanting the dust from the mining area outside to float into the house.

But this also caused the air in the room to be stale and had a stuffy smell.

However, when Gu Chen walked to the big bed, he felt a familiar temperature.

Gu Chen immediately began to check the big bed, lifting the bedding and even the mattress, but no trace of blood was found.

However, the smell of blood lingered in the air, seemingly lingering.

"Where is it?" After checking under the pillow and finding nothing, Lu Weiwei also put the pillow back in place, scratching the back of her head with a puzzled look on her face.

But at this moment, while Gu Chen was checking the bedside table, he accidentally touched a paper notebook on the bedside to the ground.

Gu Chen bent down to pick it up, but suddenly felt that the familiar smell of blood seemed to be getting heavier and heavier.

Frowning, Gu Chen seemed to realize something, and his face suddenly turned ugly.

Seeing this, Lu Weiwei also saw clues in Gu Chen's eyes. She couldn't help but subconsciously take a step back and reminded:
"Junior Brother Gu, could it be that under this bed..."

"It's under the bed. This smell of blood comes from under the bed." Gu Chen also confirmed.

Then, the two took two steps back and took a deep breath.

Gu Chen opened the curtains as wide as possible, then squatted down and began to look under the bed.At this time, Gu Chen discovered several objects.

Since the chassis of this large bed was low, it was difficult for Gu Chen to judge, so he could only take out the mechanical baton he carried with him, bang it under the bed, and push the objects directly to the outside of the bottom of the bed.

When Lu Weiwei saw the object she had pulled out, she was stunned.

Gu Chen got up and quickly came to Lu Weiwei's side, looking towards the ground.

"Gu... Junior Brother Gu, there is a bloody rag and a bloody paper ball." Lu Weiwei was also surprised when she saw the scene in front of her.

At this moment, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, who had already finished checking a room, happened to be walking out of the door.

When they saw the bloody rag and paper balls on the ground, the two of them were stunned on the spot.

Yuan Shasha quickly asked: "This...where did you get this?"

"Junior brother Gu found it from under the bed." Lu Weiwei said.

Officer Wang squatted down, picked up one of the bloody paper balls, put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and said with a look of horror: "This blood has been dried for a long time, why would you leave these things under the bed?"

"Could it be..." At this moment, Yuan Shasha seemed to have thought of something?
Everyone looked at each other and seemed to have guessed the clue.

"Xiao Yuan." Gu Chen quickly reminded him.

"Understood." Yuan Shasha, who knew what Gu Chen meant, immediately took out her mobile phone to collect these photos for evidence.

Then, he took out the transparent evidence collection bag and put the numbers directly into it.

Looking at the bloody rag, Gu Chen took the transparent evidence bag directly from Yuan Shasha's hand and walked outside the house.

At the escalator on the second floor, Gu Chen stuck his head out and looked at Zhao Deming in the living room on the first floor.

At this time, Zhao Deming and Zou Yaohua were sitting on opposite sides of the sofa. Both of them looked in opposite directions and seemed unwilling to talk to each other.

"Zhao Deming." Gu Chen reminded.

After hearing what Gu Chen said, Zhao Deming subconsciously looked towards the second floor and asked hurriedly: "Comrade police, what's the matter?"

"Can you explain this?" Gu Chen held the transparent evidence bag containing the bloody rag and slowly walked down the stairs on the second floor.

Looking at the transparent evidence collection bag in Gu Chen's hand, Zhao Deming was also confused and asked hurriedly: "Comrade police, what is this?"

"What is this? I should ask you this, right?" Lu Weiwei, who then came downstairs, also said angrily.

But this statement stunned Zhao Deming on the spot.

He looked at the bloody rag in Gu Chen's hand that was packed in a transparent evidence collection bag, and couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.

Gu Chen also took the opportunity to bring the transparent evidence collection bag to Zhao Deming and reminded him: "Can you explain to me? What exactly is this?"

"Wipe...rag."

"Of course I know it's a rag. I'm asking you, why is there so much blood on the rag?" Seeing Zhao Deming's answer, Gu Chen immediately continued to ask.

At this time, Zhao Deming was confused, and he didn't know how to reply to Gu Chen for a long time.

When Zou Yaohua, who was sitting on the other side of the sofa, saw this, he quickly stood up and came to Gu Chen.

Seeing the bloody rag, Zou Yaohua's heart skipped a beat, so he stared at Zhao Deming in front of him with vicious eyes and shouted angrily:
"Tell me, what exactly is this?"

"What on earth is this? How do I know?" It felt baffling, but now Zhao Deming seemed to be even more panicked.

After coming downstairs, Officer Wang also smiled and asked: "I said Zhao Deming, what is this? Don't you know?"

"This was found under the bed in your bedroom. There were not only bloody rags, but also some bloody paper balls."

After a pause, and holding the transparent evidence bag containing the bloody paper ball, Officer Wang continued: "Are you going to say that after you had a nosebleed, you deliberately threw the paper ball and rag to wipe the nosebleed directly under the bed? ?”

"What...what's going on? It's not like this at all." Faced with Officer Wang's questioning, Zhao Deming also held his head in his hands, feeling a little confused at the moment.

Yuan Shasha couldn't stand it anymore and said angrily: "Zhao Deming, you don't have to pretend, just tell me directly, what is going on? Where did the blood come from?"

"I don't know." Faced with Yuan Shasha's doubts, Zhao Deming shook his head and denied it.

"You don't know?" Yuan Shasha frowned slightly and said in disbelief:

"You don't know, then why are these things under your bed?"

"I don't know, I really don't know, because this is not my thing at all!" Feeling a little confused, Zhao Deming also replied with a look of horror.

But this time, everyone was confused.

The things I found under the bed in your bedroom, Zhao Deming, are not your Zhao Deming's?

Gu Chen chuckled and continued: "Zhao Deming, let me ask you."

"Say." Faced with Gu Chen's words, Zhao Deming seemed a little panicked at the moment.

Gu Chen continued: "Did you say that you have been living at home alone for more than a week?"

"Yes, I live here alone." Zhao Deming nodded silently in affirmation, but there was still fear in his eyes.

So Gu Chen asked again: "You also said that no one has been to your house in the past week, is that what you said?"

"Yes." Faced with Gu Chen's question again, Zhao Deming still nodded and confirmed: "I said that no one else has been to our house this week."

"That's right." Seeing what Zhao Deming said, Gu Chen took out the transparent evidence collection bag again and reminded him:
"But judging from how dry the blood was, it should have happened within a week."

Shaking his head, Gu Chen also said in confusion: "I'm very surprised. Did you, Manager Zhao, get seriously injured this week? Why did you bleed so much blood?"

"Uh……"

Faced with Gu Chen's questioning, Zhao Deming also quickly checked his whole body.

But when Zhao Deming came to his senses, he immediately gave up the inspection. He also said "Oh" and quickly stepped forward to explain to Gu Chen:
"Comrade police, how can I tell you this? This thing is not mine at all, and I am not injured. My whole body is fine, really."

"It's not yours, so why is it under your bed?" Gu Chen also found Zhao Deming's answer a bit funny.

But just as Zhao Deming was about to speak, he stopped moving and spun around in a hurry. He also clasped the back of his right hand on his left palm and said:
"I don't know, what's going on? This rag and these papers are not mine at all, so why are they under my bed?"

"Did your family throw it away?" Seeing Zhao Deming explaining here for a long time, Zou Yaohua murmured in his heart and couldn't help but ask one more question.

But after Zhao Deming glanced at him, he shook his head and denied: "It's impossible. My family hasn't been here for half a month."

"Besides, my family members all have mysophobia and they are not allowed to throw things away casually. There is a trash can, so why should it be thrown away under the bed?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Deming seemed to realize something?The whole person suddenly became frightened, and he was so frightened that he quickly rushed to Gu Chen's side. He couldn't help but look around and reminded:
"Police, police, police...Comrade police, is there someone else in my house?"

When Gu Chen heard Zhao Deming's words, he immediately became alert.

When everyone saw this, they all pulled out the mechanical batons from their waists, threw the batons out, and immediately assumed a vigilant posture.

Everyone faces the surroundings and moves closer to the center.

Gu Chen also asked Zhao Deming behind him: "Does anyone else have the key to your house?"

"No, the keys to my home will not be given to anyone else except me or my family. How can others have the keys to my home?" Faced with Gu Chen's doubts, Zhao Deming also felt baffled.

But Lu Weiwei warned: "But judging from the fact that you opened the door and entered the house just now, your door is indeed locked and no one has entered."

"And you yourself entered the house after turning the lock on the door. I heard the lock on your door ring twice, and I saw you twisting the key twice before entering the house."

"Yes." After listening to Lu Weiwei's words, Zhao Deming also nodded fiercely and said involuntarily:

"I opened the door, I must have locked it."

"Back door." Lu Weiwei flicked her fingers and reminded.

Zhao Deming was stunned and immediately ran towards another area of ​​the living room.

Because Zhao Deming's house is a single-family building, although it is large in area, it does not have a yard, but this building has a back door.

Therefore, Zhao Deming also hurried to the back door. Just as he was about to turn the door handle with his hand, Gu Chen immediately stopped him and said:
"Wait a moment."

Hearing Gu Chen's words, Zhao Deming was stunned on the spot.

Gu Chen's eyes prompted Officer Wang to immediately take out the evidence-collecting transparent tape he carried with him, and then extract the fingerprints attached to the door handle.

After completing the professional operation, Officer Wang pasted the extracted fingerprint traces on a piece of oil paper, and then numbered them together and put them into a transparent evidence collection bag.

When Gu Chen saw that the operation was completed, he turned the door handle with his right hand wearing a white glove.

However, what surprised Gu Chen was that the door handle was locked.

Zhao Deming took a step forward and quickly looked at Gu Chen and said, "No need to twist it, the back door is also locked."

"But since they are all locked up, and these bloody things are not left by you, I just want to ask you, how did these things appear?" Gu Chen said.

It felt like the situation was very clear now, and Zou Yaohua, who had been standing behind everyone, couldn't help but say.

At this moment, Zhao Deming was speechless.

Obviously, it seems that Zhao Deming doesn't know how to reply to everyone at all.

"Xiao Yuan, you stay here and watch him. Senior Brother Wang, Senior Sister Lu, follow me and continue to search other places."

"no problem."

Seeing Gu Chen making arrangements, everyone responded in unison.

Afterwards, Zhao Deming was continued to sit on the sofa in the living room, watched by Yuan Shasha.

Zou Yaohua, who was sitting at the other end, was still staring at Zhao Deming in front of him with suspicious eyes.

Gu Chen, on the other hand, took Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei to continue searching other unchecked areas.

After some fussing, everyone arrived at the third floor.

There is a small room here, and on the other side of the room is an open-air terrace.

You can usually dry your bedding and clothes on this open-air platform.

Since only Zhao Deming lives here, the third floor platform here is empty and there is not much to see.

So Gu Chen returned to the stairs on the third floor and inspected the rooms here.

Since the room on the third floor is full of messy objects, it looks more like a warehouse.

Many of them were worn-out furniture that seemed to belong to the previous owner. Since they moved away, these items were randomly discarded in the room on the third floor.

Gu Chen didn't care too much. He stood in the remaining space of the room on the third floor and carefully inspected every item here.

But when Gu Chen came to the corner of the room, he discovered that there seemed to be a reflective object in the corner of the messy items piled here.

Gu Chen took a closer look and found a bloody blade.

The blood on the blade had already dyed several damaged wooden furniture around it red.

Obviously, the blade at that time was still stained with a lot of blood.

However, Gu Chen did not expect to throw the bloody blade among the debris.

Looking at the ground again, there was no trace of blood, which made Gu Chen very puzzled.

"Junior Brother Gu." Lu Weiwei, who had discovered the bloody blade based on Gu Chen's gaze, also said curiously:
"Is this the murder weapon?"

"Maybe, take it out and have a look." At this moment, Gu Chen was a little confused about the situation, so he could only decide to find the bloody blade from the pile of debris first.

Officer Wang saw this and quickly helped, pulling apart the top few broken wooden chairs among the suppressed debris, and then pulled apart several old wooden frames.

Only then can he reach out and pull out the bloody blade from the gap.

At this moment, Lu Weiwei had also completed taking photos and evidence collection. She took out a transparent evidence collection bag in advance and opened the bag.

Officer Wang conveniently put the bloody blade in.

After everyone took photos and collected evidence at the scene, they were also puzzled.

Lu Weiwei turned to look at Gu Chen and Officer Wang, and asked: "Junior Brother Gu, Lao Wang, what do you think this is going on? Why are you leaving the bloody blade here?"

"Is this really a tool for committing crimes?"

"Maybe, after all, how to explain the blood under the bed in the bedroom?" Officer Wang also frowned, feeling that this matter must have something to do with Zhao Deming.

But Gu Chen took a cautious attitude and said slowly: "Don't draw conclusions so early, there are still many problems here."

"What's the problem?" Officer Wang turned to look at Gu Chen.

Gu Chen also crossed his arms and thought, "Why don't you dispose of these bloody objects? Instead, hide them under the bed in the bedroom? And in the utility warehouse on the third floor?"

Looking at the blade in front of him, Gu Chen added, "Also, if this is the murder weapon, why was it discarded here? What's the point of discarding it here?"

"Maybe I was in a panic when committing the crime, so I threw them away at random, and then chose the right time to destroy these things. This must be the case." Officer Wang flicked his finger, feeling that this situation was more reliable.
