I am a super cop

Chapter 708 Digging the corpse in the garden [seeking monthly pass]

Although the idea is good, the reality still disappoints Gu Chen.

Using the reagents in the No. 2 toolbox, Gu Chen was on the first floor of the basement, and did not detect blood.

Gu Chen is very clear that even if he mentions blood, Zhu Lei may say that he has cut meat or chicken with this machete.

In doing so, it is indeed possible to get the blood on the blade.

But this knife seems to have been processed repeatedly, and it has been difficult to extract useful value.

Gu Chen did not give up and continued to search for other available clues in the basement.

It is said that self-built houses in rural areas do not have too many regulations on the structure.

A lot of structures come from the imagination...

For rural residents, the basement was originally used to store items, but the situation is different now. A large number of tenants demand, so many house owners are also considering practicality.

However, the basement floor was obviously transformed from the previous storage floor, and the toilet was newly installed later.

Gu Chen found one of the rooms, judging from the decoration structure, it should be used for leisure and entertainment.

There is a karaoke platform inside, which is also in line with what Zhang Lan's roommates Lu Min and He Lu said, Zhang Lan likes to stay on the lower floor.

In this way, it is not only quiet, but also entertaining.

But the structure of the room is not reasonable, there is a crawl space.

After turning on the lights in the room, Gu Chen shined a strong flashlight on the corner of the crawling space, and found a pile of cardboard boxes inside.

The cartons come in different sizes, so in this way, the crawl space functions as a storage.

Gu Chen simply reached out and took out the cartons one by one.

Except that most of the boxes were empty, Gu Chen found that there was a piece of blood-stained cloth stuck behind one of the boxes.

Gu Chen took out the transparent evidence collection bag, put the blood-stained cloth strips in it, took photos on the spot to collect evidence, and then walked out of the room.

At this moment, all the testing work on the basement level is temporarily over.

Gu Chen can be said to have gained a lot.

Just from the use of fluorescent agents, many bloodstains have been detected at the scene.

And it can be seen that the murderer seems to have deliberately moved the blood-stained sofa bed, which is exactly in line with Zhu Lei's rhetoric about selling the sofa bed.

At the same time, where the sofa bed was previously placed, the blood that had just been spattered formed a regular gap.

"Junior Brother Gu, why is there blood on this cloth?" Lu Weiwei, who was on the side, asked Gu Chen after seeing Gu Chen taking pictures to collect evidence.

"Don't you think this is the fabric on the sofa bed?" Gu Chen said.

"Sofa bed? This kind of fabric? Are you so sure?" Lu Weiwei was puzzled. To be precise, she was not sure.

Gu Chen nodded slightly: "Of course, because the fabric of this style is similar to the fabric of the sofa bed in my family a long time ago, it should be the same style."

"However, this kind of fabric should be quite rare in the market now, because this style of sofa bed may have been eliminated long ago."

"However, the styles produced by furniture factories will be innovative every year. To be precise, it is because the raw materials of fabric manufacturers are updated, so the styles will be different every year."

"Even if this kind of sofa bed is in stock, it will be sold for one or two years at most, two or three years, and there will be no more."

"You can see this?" Lu Weiwei was also admirable when she heard the words: "I said, Junior Brother Gu, you can still remember something from such a long time ago. Is your brain really so good?"

"Maybe it's a coincidence." Gu Chen packed the things, and said directly: "Take this Zhu Lei back and investigate carefully. Also, let's see what's going on in the garden."

Walking out of Zhu Lei's rental house, everyone came to the garden together.

Lu Weiwei has already put all the evidence collected in the basement into the evidence collection box.

On the other hand, Yuan Shasha seemed to have discovered something new.

"Senior brother Gu, you are amazing. There seems to be signs of soil being moved in the garden here."

"There is a military shovel in the trunk, please bring it here for me." Gu Chen said.

Before Yuan Shasha could speak, Police Officer Wang said directly, "You don't need Xiao Yuan, I'll dig it for you."

After the words fell, Officer Wang left quickly, and not long after, he took out a folding military shovel from the trunk of the vehicle.

The people on the side were stunned, thinking that this group of people is really powerful, the trunk of the police car feels like a laboratory reserve.

Of course these didn't exist before.

After Gu Chen became the leader of the third criminal investigation team, he also took into account the subsequent handling of the case, and he had more dominance.

Therefore, I also coordinated with the technical department of the Municipal Bureau, and found a lot of good things from Liu Fayi and Gao Chuanfeng.

And use the form of a toolbox to store some easy-to-storage test items, all classified and numbered.

In this way, Gu Chen can use his own knowledge reserves to quickly detect some technical problems on the spot.

It saves the time of running back and forth in the Technical Section of the Municipal Bureau.

Of course, this is only relatively speaking, complex testing requires high-precision instrument testing, and you have to go to the technical department of the Municipal Bureau, and some procedures are unavoidable.

But seeing Officer Wang take out a folding engineering shovel from the trunk of the police car is a bit exaggerated.

From Lu Min and He Lu's point of view, if we prepare a pot, can we cook on the spot?

This is the first time the two have met such a novel team.

"Bah bah!" According to the usual practice, Officer Wang spat on his palm first, then picked up the engineering shovel and began to dig the soil bit by bit.

The excavation work was progressing smoothly. When Police Officer Wang dug up the first layer of soil, he found a cat's tail exposed. He continued to dig deeper, but found an even more astonishing discovery.

There is actually a dissected cat buried here.

Seeing this, Lu Min and He Lu covered their faces and dared not look directly at each other.

When Zhang Lan's parents saw this, they also backed away in fright.

Only Zhu Lei stood where he was, neither sad nor happy, staring blankly at the ground, as if he was separated from the crowd.

After digging out the cat's body, Gu Chen gently placed it on the ground.

Judging from the state of the dead cat, Gu Chen deduced that it should have died in the past few days.

Thinking of the cute pet VIP group before, Gu Chen couldn't help being taken aback, turned around and asked Zhu Lei, "Did you kill this cat?"

"No...not." Zhu Lei lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Gu Chen's eyes.

"But this dead cat was buried in the garden on the first floor of your house. You can't say it was done by someone else, can you?" Lu Weiwei was also straightforward.

Zhu Lei stared blankly, not daring to speak.

However, at this moment, Lu Min suddenly screamed, and hugged He Lu who was beside him in fright.

"Ah!! It's...a dead person, it's...a dead person."

Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei looked at each other, and hurried back to the pit just now.

"what's the situation?"

"Officer Gu, here is a foot. The shoe... the shoe seems to belong to Zhang Lan." Lu Min trembled with fright, and kept hugging He Lu tightly.

Zhang Lan's parents heard the words, and hurried forward to check.

Because they were not sure if it was Zhang Lan's shoes, the two were also very anxious.

He Lijuan grabbed Officer Wang's arm and hurriedly urged, "Comrade policeman, you... hurry up and take a look to see if it's my daughter."

"Don't panic." Officer Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead, and he was shocked.

The heart says what to be afraid of.

When a dead cat was dug up just now, Police Officer Wang was taken aback and felt unlucky, but it was a dead cat after all, so it was a false alarm at best.

But now it was discovered that there was a leg protruding from the side where the dead cat's body was buried.

Officer Wang admired Gu Chen a little now, and quickly asked, "Gu Chen, how do you know that something is buried in this garden?"

"Senior Brother Wang, have you forgotten that when we were in Yiguo, we hid corpses in the garden?" Gu Chen asked.

"When... of course I remember, it was a female murderer who surrendered herself. If you hadn't confirmed in the garden that she didn't dig a pit to bury people a day in advance, maybe the Italian police would use the earth pit she dug a day in advance , count her premeditated murder." Police Officer Wang said.

Lu Weiwei also hurriedly said: "Yes, I still remember that Junior Brother Gu and I went to simulate the scene. The soil pit is actually very shallow, and it is actually used for planting flowers."

"If Junior Brother Gu hadn't been lying in the pit to imitate, I'm afraid the female murderer would be in serious trouble."

"But..." Yuan Shasha hesitated for a moment, and quickly asked Gu Chen: "But Brother Gu, you have been investigating indoors, how did you know that something was buried in this garden? Your basis is..."

"My basis is that when I entered the room, I found a raised mound under the wall."

Gu Chen walked among the crowd and said calmly, "Such an obvious mound of dirt can only mean that something must have been buried below."

"And there are many such mounds under the wall. I now suspect that there are still things under other mounds."

"Officer Gu, then..." Seeing Gu Chen's explanation, Zhang Lan's father panicked and said, "Then quickly dig it out and see if it is my daughter Zhang Lan."

Zhang Lan's father was panting heavily as he spoke, and his spirit was also extremely broken.

Gu Chen hesitated for a moment, and kindly persuaded: "Mr. Zhang, I hope you can prepare yourself mentally, because..."

In the middle of speaking, Gu Chen suddenly paused for a few seconds.

"Because of what?" Mr. Zhang asked anxiously.

"Because..." Gu Chen pursed his lips, and then said again: "Because the one buried in the ground is likely to be your daughter, so if you..."

"I can, I really can." Zhang Lan's father understood Gu Chen's meaning, endured the pain, pretended not to mind, and said, "Officer Wang."

"Ah?" Officer Wang was stunned for a moment before he realized it.

"Please give me your engineer shovel." Zhang Lan's father directly asked for it.

Officer Wang hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Gu Chen.

Gu Chen nodded silently, and couldn't say anything more.

After all, there are various indications that the one buried under the pit should be Zhang Lan.

Officer Wang simply gave Zhang Lan's father a favor and handed over the engineering shovel to him.

Without further ado, Zhang Lan's father began digging holes beside the corpse.

After 10 minutes, the lower extremity parts of the corpse were gouged out.

Fifteen minutes later, the upper body of the body was gouged out.

At this moment, it can be basically concluded that the deceased was a woman.

When Zhang Lan's father, with tears in his eyes, turned over the dirt on the head of the corpse, his eyelids suddenly rolled, and he fainted instantly.

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, are you okay?"
