I am a super cop

Chapter 793 The Stealing of the Corpse

Above the small door, the blood puppet that was originally entangled with countless spider webs disappeared, replaced by the corpse of Chef Gao Jian.

The body of the behemoth is entwined with countless ropes and hangs in the air, giving people a very terrifying sense of sight.

"It's...it's Gao Jian." Lu Weiwei looked at Gu Chen fiercely, and said in astonishment, "Isn't this where the blood puppet should appear? Why is it Gao Jian now?"

"My God, what... what's going on here? How could Gao Jian be hung up in the sky?" Zhang Xiaoyu's face was pale, and his voice trembled: "Could it be that he was really hung up by a spider?"

"Don't talk nonsense." The bald Han Fei glared at her, and quickly retorted: "Why are spiders so powerful? We are a haunted house, but...don't scare yourself."

"However, even if what you said is reasonable, how did Gao Jian's huge body be suspended above the sky?"

The fat woman Zhang Xiaoyu is very aware of Gao Jian's weight, especially his tall body, it is obviously impossible to hang a person high above the sky like a spider's web.

And looking at it now, the place where the blood puppet should have been placed before was suddenly hung with a tall Gao Jian, but where did the blood puppet go?
This makes everyone confused.

Seeing that everyone was panicking, Gu Chen also observed the surrounding environment left and right.

It can be said that Gao Jian is surrounded by countless spider web-like ropes, hanging in the air like this, which is very strange.

Mainly, how did Gao Jian get there?And how was it hung in the air?
But while everyone was terrified, Gu Chen used a bright flashlight to discover Gao Jian's neck, which seemed to be wrapped in a circle of rope.

"He was suffocated by a rope around his head." Gu Chen stepped forward and said.

"That's right." Police Officer Wang also found the rope around Gao Jian's neck according to Gu Chen's prompt, and then asked Chen Kui beside him: "When you put the blood puppet, how did you put it? Do you use a ladder or what?"

"It's a small attic." Chen Kui said.

Gu Chen used a bright flashlight to shake the dense rope net a few times, and then asked again: "Can you take us to see it?"

"Of course." Chen Kui was also panicked at the moment.

Chef Gao Jian just died in the place of the blood puppet in the haunted house, which is somewhat creepy.

Everyone walked back and forth on this trail many times before, but they didn't find any abnormality above their heads.

Thinking about it now, many people are still a little scared.

Chen Kui led everyone forward, through a small path, to a place similar to a utility room.

Chen Kui pointed to an iron staircase and said, "To get to the attic from here, you need to climb this ladder."

"Still climbing up?" Seeing the scene in front of him, Gu Chen frowned slightly.

Lu Weiwei at the side also saw Gu Chen's anxiety, and said involuntarily, "If the murderer wants to kill Gao Jian, wouldn't he still have to climb this iron ladder?"

"But... Gao Jian's weight, how was he brought up?"

"Maybe the murderer led him to the attic." Gu Chen said.

"Guide him to the attic?" Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang said in unison.

Then the two turned their attention to Chen Kui, Zhang Xiaoyu, Zhang Xiaomei and Han Fei.

"That's right." Gu Chen walked up to the four of them and said, "If you want to hang Gao Jian's body on this rope net, at least it is impossible to bring Gao Jian up after committing the crime."

"Because Gao Jian's weight is placed here, no one of you can carry him up this iron ladder."

"The only thing that was possible was to lead him up, strangle him with a rope, and then hang him on the rope net."

"Officer Gu, according to your opinion, all of us are likely to be the murderer?" The bald Han Fei couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.

So he quickly looked at the other three people, and said involuntarily, "Impossible, we have always lived in harmony, how could we kill Gao Jian?"

"Besides, just take us as an example, anyone who stands in front of Gao Jian is no match for him."

"Yes." Zhang Xiaomei also quickly defended herself: "Gao Jian is tall and strong, and he is the strongest among us. With his physique, who can beat him?"

From everyone's point of view, Gao Jian stood in front of him like a mountain.

But with such a mountain, let alone whether the people on the scene have the ability to kill him, it is absolutely impossible to defeat Gao Jian.

However, Gu Chen didn't care about these things, and explained to everyone: "This is just a rough guess based on the situation on the spot. I'll talk about the specific situation when I go up."

"Then I'll take you there," Chen Kui said.

Gu Chen glanced at Chen Kui, and said to Lu Weiwei, "Senior Sister Lu, give him a copy of the gloves and gloves."

"No problem." Lu Weiwei readily took out the equipment Gu Chen requested from the police equipment, threw it directly to Chen Kui and said, "Put it on."

Chen Kui was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized and said, "I know, I'm afraid of polluting the traces of the scene, right?"

"Yes." While Gu Chen was speaking, he had already put on the necessary gloves and foot covers, stuck the bright flashlight on his shoulder patch, and climbed up the stairs neatly.

Chen Kui didn't fall behind either, and followed Gu Chen's footsteps to the attic together.

Officer Wang stood below and continued to wait, while Lu Weiwei couldn't wait to follow behind, and they came to Gu Chen's side together.

Lying on the attic, there is no guardrail on the edge, looking at the height of 4 meters from the ground, it is indeed easy to fall to the ground if you are not careful.

Fortunately, there is a rope net to protect the body...

But Gu Chen was puzzled, how did Gao Jian put the rope around his neck?

After looking around, Gu Chen found a gap of weak light source on one side of the attic, forming a cuboid.

This light source gap cannot be seen from below the passage, but can only be seen from the attic.

Moreover, the height of the attic is only about 1.7 meters, and everyone has to bow their bodies to avoid hitting their heads on the ceiling.

Gu Chen walked carefully to the light source, but found that it was an old wooden window.

Turning around, Gu Chen asked Chen Kui: "What is your window for?"

"It's for ventilation." Chen Kui bowed his back, walked to Gu Chen's side and said, "Usually, if you need to decorate and clean something, you will open this window."

"Has it been closed before?" Gu Chen asked again.

"Yes." Chen Kui nodded silently: "Usually we open it once a day or two, mainly for ventilation, but rainy days are relatively humid, so we generally don't open it."

"It turned out to be like this." After understanding the situation at the scene, Gu Chen temporarily ignored Gao Jian's body hanging on the rope net, but gently opened the iron bolt with his hands to open the small window.

Suddenly, a bright light shone in from the outside, and the light in the attic obviously gained a qualitative leap.

At the same time, a slight cool breeze blows from the outside, giving people a sense of comfort.

However, Gu Chen's attention soon discovered that there were obvious rope wear marks on the edge of the small window.

Along the corners of the cement, up to the attic, there are obvious traces of friction on the frame of the wooden window, which made Gu Chen suspicious.

"Junior Brother Gu." Guided by Gu Chen's gaze, Lu Weiwei quickly discovered these traces, and hurriedly asked, "Did the rope that hanged Gao Jian come in from the window?"

"Yes." Gu Chen nodded slightly, affirming: "Judging from the traces at the scene, the rope that hanged Gao Jian did indeed come from outside the window."

Pointing to the frame of the wooden window, Gu Chen said again: "Look here, there are obviously traces of dragging, and the signs of friction are very obvious."

"But how did Gao Jian get put on the rope?" Lu Weiwei asked again.

Gu Chen was silent for a few seconds suddenly, and did not answer right away.

The owner of the haunted house, Chen Kui, looked anxious, so he continued to ask: "Even if the rope is extended from the window, it is obviously impossible for Gao Jian to wrap the rope around his neck."

"And you've also seen it. With Gao Jian's body, who can pull it? Not only can't he pull it, but he might be taken back by Gao Jian, because Gao Jian's weight is terrible."

"I know that." Gu Chen just nodded slightly and explained, "This is what I'm thinking about now."

"First, how did Gao Jian get tied around his neck with a rope?"

"Second, who has the strength to hang Gao Jian in the attic?"

"That's right." Lu Weiwei was also very sure: "From the situation at the scene, Gao Jian should have been hanged in the attic first, and then the murderer loosened the rope and hung Gao Jian on the rope net that had been prepared."

"It can be said that all of this seems to be planned, but the key is how could Gao Jian be fooled?"

There was a brief silence for a few seconds.

As for Lu Weiwei and Chen Kui's questions, Gu Chen couldn't answer for a while.

The main reason is that the existing conditional clues are limited and cannot support their own further reasoning.

After weighing it over and over again, Gu Chen turned his attention to Gao Jian's corpse and said, "Don't say anything, please do me a favor and get Gao Jian's corpse to the attic first."

"it is good."

Chen Kui and Lu Weiwei spoke in unison.

Afterwards, the three of them worked together to grab Gao Jian's hands and feet, and pulled his body upwards.

But as soon as he exerted his strength, Gu Chen found an obvious problem.

Gao Jian was really too heavy, even if three people worked together, it would take all their strength to barely drag Gao Jian to the attic.

And it is also necessary to remove the rope wrapped around Gao Jian's body so as not to get stuck on the corpse.

"Huh!" After successfully dragging Gao Jian's body to the attic, the three of them took a deep breath.

"This Gao Jian is really too heavy, right? It's as strong as a bull, and it almost couldn't be dragged up."

Lu Weiwei wiped the sweat from her forehead, but she was also angry.

Chen Kui explained: "They are chefs, and they are much heavier than ordinary people in terms of body shape. I also persuaded him to lose weight, but Gao Jian couldn't control his mouth."

Glancing at Gu Chen, he saw that Gu Chen's breathing was steady, and he didn't seem to be affected by the exertion just now. Chen Kui couldn't help but said curiously: "Officer Gu has really good physical strength, and he doesn't even have to pant."

"It's mainly because I exercise a lot." Gu Chen casually did not tell the two of them. Just as the two were about to drag Gao Jian's body to the attic, he secretly took two cans of energy drinks to boost his physical strength and energy. promote.

It can be said that without the help of these two cans of energy drinks, one more police officer Wang may be needed to drag the heavy Gao Jian from the rope net to the attic.

"Everyone, step aside." Gu Chen pushed Chen Kui and Lu Weiwei aside, turned on the bright flashlight, and began to examine Gao Jian's body.

And Lu Weiwei on the side is also in charge of lighting assistance, providing support for Gu Chen at any time.

After a while, Gu Chen shifted the light source of the strong flashlight, raised his head and said, "If we calculate according to the time of death, Gao Jian should have died late last night, that is, when we left."

"During the time we left?" Lu Weiwei couldn't help but gasped, and said in astonishment, "That is to say... the time of Gao Jian's death probably happened when we left Hanshan Haunted House, or before we left Hanshan Haunted House Time, do you understand it this way, Junior Brother Gu?"

Gu Chen nodded slightly: "That's what it means."

"Oh my God." Lu Weiwei was stunned for a while, and then carefully recalled the situation last night, and then said: "I remembered, last night, after I experienced the VR scene with Junior Brother Gu, there was nothing in the Pansidong restaurant. See Gao Jian."

"Besides, until we left the Haunted House in Hanshan, Gao Jian didn't seem to appear again. So, since then, it is very likely that Gao Jian has been killed?"

"How...how is it possible?" Hearing Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei's words, Chen Kui, the owner of the haunted house, was also taken aback, and quickly asked for confirmation:
"Are you serious about what you're talking about? The time of death, you can guess it by just looking at it? Shouldn't the body be transported to the police station for testing before making a decision?"

I feel that Gu Chen's operation was too quick just now, it seems that even before Chen Kui figured out the way, Gu Chen has already finished examining the corpse.

In Chen Kui's view, this seemed too hasty.

After all, Gu Chen looks so young, it seems a bit perfunctory to investigate the case like this.

Seeing that Chen Kui had objections to the examination of the corpse, Lu Weiwei was not angry, but quickly explained: "Boss Chen, don't worry about this, I, Junior Brother Gu, is the apprentice of Forensic Doctor Liu from the Technical Department of the Municipal Bureau."

"I am as proficient in using the autopsy techniques that Professor Liu Fayi taught him, so I can infer the time of death based on the state of the corpse. Don't worry about that, there won't be any major problems."

"But...but how did you figure it out?" It felt like Lu Weiwei was blowing Gu Chen too far, but Chen Kui still didn't believe it.

Gu Chen didn't explain too much, but just said casually: "I speculate based on the various facial and body characteristics of the deceased Gao Jian, which involves some professional data support, and you won't understand even if I tell you."

Seeing Chen Kui standing there blankly, Gu Chen hurriedly said again: "What I mean is that instead of seeking evidence here, it is better to find out the murderer according to the results of my autopsy, are you right? Boss Chen?"

"No... That's right, what we need to do now is to find the murderer." Chen Kui seemed powerless to refute, but he seemed to agree with Gu Chen on finding the murderer.

Gu Chen loosened the rope around Gao Jian's neck and found the end of the rope.

"The length of the rope around Gao Jian's neck was only more than one meter. Obviously, after hanging Gao Jian, the murderer went back to the attic again, cut the rope, and then disposed of the excess rope secretly."

"Looking back at Chen Kui, Gu Chen said again: "Boss Chen, this haunted house of yours is really weird, and the murderer is also a ruthless character. "

"Obviously, the murderer had already planned everything, so that Gao Jian's body would suddenly hang up in the place where the blood puppet was originally placed."

Lu Weiwei didn't know what was going on, and hurriedly asked again: "Junior Brother Gu, why did the murderer hang Gao Jian on the rope net? Is it because of Gao Jian's weight?"

"That's right." Gu Chen nodded slightly, pointed at Gao Jian's body and said, "With Gao Jian's body type, only hanging him on a rope net can prevent everyone from discovering him, or delay the time to discover Gao Jian. "

"This is not good for our police to handle the case, but it is obviously not good for the murderer, but it is undoubtedly the best way for the murderer to solve the problem of hiding corpses."

"That's...that's right." Chen Kui couldn't help but wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said angrily, "If the body can be transported away, the murderer will never hang Gao Jian on the rope net."

"Because the blood puppet props on the rope net are very light, it is convenient to remove the blood puppet, but it is obviously not realistic to remove such a huge monster as Gao Jian."

"So the murderer played a trick game, transporting away the blood puppet props, and leaving Gao Jian here, which shows that this murderer is extremely cunning."

Glancing at Gu Chen, Chen Kui grabbed Gu Chen's arm and said, "Officer Gu, you must catch this murderer, you can't let Gao Jian die in vain."

"Don't worry." Gu Chen patted the back of the hand of the owner of the haunted house, Chen Kui, and then promised: "This is what we do. Find the real culprit. That's where we will blame you."

"Even if you don't ask for it, we will give the deceased a satisfactory explanation. Don't worry about that."

"Hey, I feel relieved with your brother Gu's words." Chen Kui also took a deep breath, feeling like a disaster from heaven.

Looking at Gao Jian's body lying on the attic, Chen Kui asked again: "Then what should we do with Gao Jian's body? Should it be transported away now?"

"No." Gu Chen waved his hand to refuse, and said, "The most important thing now is to find other useful clues."

"Gao Jian's body has been found now. As for whether to put it in the attic or carry it down, it doesn't matter for the time being. The case is divided into priorities, and finding new clues is the main thing."

Chen Kui looked Gu Chen up and down.

After Gu Chen's rhetoric just now, Chen Kui suddenly felt that Gu Chen seemed to have his own set of complete steps in handling the case, and would not be influenced by others. "

In this way, Chen Kui looked at Gu Chen with admiration. At least Gu Chen was obviously an experienced veteran from the perspective of his handling and performance on the spot, completely out of proportion to his age.

With Gu Chen arranging the deployment at the scene, Chen Kui felt a little at ease, and could only nod his head in agreement: "Well, you can do whatever you say, so what do I need to do now?"

"Let's talk about it later." Gu Chen has no work arrangements for him for the time being.

The three climbed up the iron stairs again to where they were just now.

Officer Wang stepped forward and asked, "How is it? Have you discovered anything new?"

"Strange, very strange, this may be the strangest corpse I have ever seen." Gu Chen lowered his head and said "strange" three times in a row, as if thinking.
