I am a super cop

Chapter 795 Suspect Elimination Method 【Seeking Monthly Ticket】

Back on the attic again, Gu Chen has already completed the work of taking pictures and collecting evidence from the subtle clues on the wall.

Officer Wang who came later was a little confused, so he hurriedly asked Gu Chen, "Gu Chen, what are you doing taking pictures of these tiny holes on the wall?"

"Senior Brother Wang, go up and check to see if these small holes existed before, or are they newly drilled?"

Gu Chen didn't explain it directly, but let Officer Wang find the answer by himself.

Officer Wang frowned, turned on the strong flashlight in his hand, and shone it on these tiny holes.

Then I touched it lightly with my fingers, and soon found that there were some fine sand and stones on the small hole.

Blow gently with your mouth, and the fine sand and gravel in the small hole will soon fly out from the hole.

Officer Wang fanned the dust with his right hand, and then confirmed: "These small holes are newly punched, and it should not be long."

After thinking for a while, Police Officer Wang glanced at Gu Chen and asked, "Why are you asking me this? Could it be left by the murderer?"

"That's right, these small holes were left by the murderer, and they were used to strangle Gao Jian to death." Gu Chen said.

Officer Wang frowned, looking at Lu Weiwei and Zhang Xiaomei beside him, he still didn't seem to understand.

The small hole in the wall can actually strangle the tall Gao Jian?This sounds a bit muddled.

Of course, Police Officer Wang would not delve into this issue. With Gu Chen at the scene, he was more willing to listen to Gu Chen's explanation, so he asked again: "But how did the murderer do it?"

At this moment, the owner of the haunted house, Chen Kui, the fat girl Zhang Xiaoyu, and the bald Han Fei also came to the attic.

Everyone stared at Gu Chen, wanting to hear Gu Chen's explanation.

Gu Chen walked to the wooden window and opened it.

Suddenly, the sun shone in from outside, and everyone couldn't help covering their eyes.

"Have you seen the traces on the wooden window?" Gu Chen pointed at the traces.

The crowd nodded.

Gu Chen said again: "Gao Jian's death was preliminarily deduced to be suffocation. Combined with the strangle marks on Gao Jian's neck, it can be seen that he was strangled to death by the rope around his neck."

"But it involves a question, what kind of person can make Gao Jian, who is strong and strong, unable to resist?"

Everyone was stunned and looked at each other, but they didn't respond.

Gu Chen replied directly: "The answer is that no one can do it."

"Officer Gu, since no one can do it, could it be that Gao Jian strangled himself to death?" The fat woman Zhang Xiaoyu was a little confused.

Hearing Gu Chen's words, Gao Jian's death seemed more and more strange.

Gu Chen shook his head, and said calmly: "It is very difficult to do this alone. Of course, this involves the first possibility, which is to commit crimes in groups. Several people go up together and strangle Gao Jian to death."

"It's absolutely impossible." Chen Kui immediately vetoed Gu Chen's argument, and argued with reason: "We have always had a good relationship with Gao Jian, how could we collectively do such a thing?"

"That's right, even if we want to kill Gao Jian, it doesn't have to be so complicated, right? Why do we have to strangle him to death, and then call the police? Isn't this self-inflicted?" Bald Han Fei also strongly denied it.

Zhang Xiaomei raised her hand, and said weakly: "I called the police, I can't possibly throw myself into a trap, right?"

"Don't be in a hurry." Seeing that everyone was already refuting, Gu Chen suppressed his hands and continued to explain: "I'm talking about the first possibility, but judging from the current conditions, it doesn't seem to be true."

Pointing at the people in the Hanshan Haunted House in front of him, Gu Chen said again: "Just like what you said just now, if you commit the crime as a group, there is no need to make it so complicated."

"You will quietly dispose of Gao Jian's body, and then choose a long time to call the police instead of calling the police immediately after Gao Jian's disappearance."

"You should all be aware that the shorter the time of the crime, the better it is for the case to be solved. I don't think you are too stupid to know this. It can be seen that most of you don't know, and you don't know exactly where Gao Jian is. "

"That's right, we really don't know." Zhang Xiaomei also tried her best to defend herself, and said, "And if we committed the crime collectively, then there is no need to do such things as stealing the body in order to hide Gao Jian's body."

"Gu Chen." Officer Wang looked at everyone's terrified reactions and said thoughtfully, "Since the first case is not true, what about the second method?"

"The second method is to use external force to put a rope around Gao Jian's neck, and then strangle him to death. This involves a mechanism issue."

"External force?" Officer Wang glanced at the marks on the frame of the wooden window, and suddenly asked, "You mean, the murderer used external force to strangle Gao Jian to death from the window?"

Gu Chen nodded: "That's right, that's it."

"Then how did the murderer make sure that he would be able to wrap Gao Jian's neck? Isn't it a bit difficult to control Gao Jian's movements in the attic outside the window?"

The fat woman Zhang Xiaoyu also raised her doubts.

Of course, Gu Chen had thought about this before, and he couldn't figure it out. It wasn't until he discovered the BB bomb in the passage, the white car outside, and the many small holes in the wall that he was able to support his thoughts.

"Don't worry." Gu Chen looked at the bald Han Fei indifferently, and said, "Mr. Han Fei, can you help me get a rope that is as thick as Gao Jian's neck?"

"This is no problem, there should be some in the haunted house." The bald Han Fei affirmed.

Gu Chen nodded slightly, and continued: "In addition, you can help me get some long thumbtacks, and small strings, the kind used to thread needles. They don't need to be too thick, but they must be strong enough. Can you find them? ?”

"Uh……"

The bald Han Fei was silent for a few seconds, but still nodded and said: "It should be found."

"Alright then, you guys help me find all these items now, and I'll show you how the murderer committed the crime." Gu Chen said.

Hearing Gu Chen's words, the owner of the haunted house Chen Kui, Zhang Xiaomei and Zhang Xiaoyu, and the bald Han Fei all looked at each other and discussed in low voices.

It seemed that Gu Chen already knew the whole process.

But since Gu Chen asked, everyone can only obey.

The fat woman Zhang Xiaoyu said directly: "Alright, I know where these things are, and I will go get them with Han Fei."

"Go and come back quickly." Gu Chen turned around and looked directly out of the window.

I have plenty of time now.

Not long after, Han Fei and Zhang Xiaoyu took all the items Gu Chen needed to the attic and threw them on the floor.

"Officer Gu, everything you want is ready, do you think these things are okay?" Han Fei asked.

Gu Chen turned around, roughly glanced at the items on the ground, and then nodded to express his satisfaction.

Afterwards, Gu Chen tied the thicker rope into a slipknot.

Use long thumbtacks to fix them on several original small holes, and start to use the thumbtacks as the basis to wrap the slipknot rope with thin wires to form a suspended shape.

In this way, Gu Chen delicately arranged the dangling ropes and hung them around the small window.

It is impossible to see the arrangement clearly from the inside of the attic.

"Let's take a look now." Gu Chen stepped aside and said.

Officer Wang was the first to stick his head out of the window.

Although the window is small, Officer Wang can still stretch his upper body out of the window.

Then he glanced at the rope slipknot hanging outside the window, Officer Wang couldn't help retracting his neck, and asked Gu Chen, "So... this is the rope trap set up by the murderer?"

"Yes." Gu Chen nodded and continued: "Gao Jian stuck his head out of the window just like Senior Brother Wang just now, and then the murderer outside the window activated the mechanism, put the rope around his neck accurately, and then strangled him to death in the attic window."

"But……"

Zhang Xiaomei frowned, and said involuntarily: "But Gao Jian is very strong, even if his head is caught by a rope, he can still retract."

"That's right." Before Zhang Xiaomei finished speaking, Zhang Xiaoyu, a fat woman beside her, quickly added: "Even if what you said is correct, who can pull the rope and strangle Gao Jian to death?"

Gu Chen smiled and said: "As I said just now, the first possibility is to commit crimes in groups, with several people working together, but this possibility is unlikely."

"There is another possibility, that is to use external force, and this external force is the white car parked at the back of the haunted house."

"White car?"

After hearing Gu Chen's words, everyone shouted in unison, as if they suddenly realized.

Gu Chen continued: "I have checked the white car in your haunted house. There are obvious traces of ropes on the tail hook at the rear."

"I think the murderer used the other end of the rope to tie the white car to serve as a good leverage."

Looking at the four people in front of him with confused faces, Gu Chen asked again: "Is the power of a car enough to strangle a strong Gao Jian?"

The bald Han Fei was stunned for a moment, and then said: "If you say so, it is indeed possible. After all, the pulling force of a car is much higher than that of several adults."

"Yes." Gu Chen nodded silently, and then patted the small window in the attic: "And you have also seen that the small window in the attic is very small. Just now I let my colleague, Senior Brother Wang, get out."

"With his body shape, his upper body can barely stick out of the window, but Gao Jian is different."

"Gao Jian's entire body skeleton is obviously a lot bigger than my Senior Brother Wang. If it was Gao Jian, he could only poke his head out of the window, but his body would be completely stuck on the wall."

"As you saw just now, Gao Jian only sticks his head out of the window, but his body and hands remain completely inside the attic."

"In this way, as long as the rope is slipped around the neck and pulled hard, Gao Jian will be strangled to death by the window in an instant."

"No matter how strong he is and how strong his hands are, if he is unprepared and coupled with the pulling force of the white car, everything will be in vain, and he will be strangled to death in an instant."

After hearing Gu Chen's explanation, everyone suddenly fell silent.

This kind of modus operandi really made everyone's hair stand on end.

Who would have thought that Gao Jian, a strong man, would have his body and hands left in the attic, while his head would be hung outside.

Coupled with the pulling force of the car, this kind of head-hanging killing method is simply terrifying.

Zhang Xiaomei tremblingly said: "Gu...Officer Gu, but...but even if what you said is true, then...how can the murderer be sure that Gao Jian will poke his head out?"

"Of course it's hard to judge the murderer." After scanning the crowd around, Gu Chen added, "But the murderer is very cunning."

"He first used some method to direct Gao Jian to go to the attic. The reasons could be various, such as the attic windows were not closed."

"But when Gao Jian came to the attic and was about to close the window, he heard a 'cracking' sound outside the window from time to time."

"At this time, Gao Jian will feel curious, and then without any precautions, he sticks his head out of the window to find out."

"But at this moment, the murderer started the vehicle, a quiet and environmentally friendly new energy electric vehicle, and instantly put the slipknot of the rope hanging outside the small window around Gao Jian's neck."

"Combined with the huge pulling force of the white car, this kind of Lefa can instantly dislocate Gao Jian's head, and the knot of the rope can also instantly suffocate Gao Jian to death."

"This kind of operation method is very vicious, and Gao Jian will not escape death no matter what."

"Wait a minute." The bald Han Fei was stunned for a moment, and then asked again: "Officer Gu, what is the 'crackling' sound that you said just now to lure Gao Jian to stick his head out?"

"This." Gu Chen flashed the colored BB bullet in front of everyone, and continued: "This is the BB bullet I found in the groove of the iron plate under the blood puppet rope net."

"The murderer used this kind of thing to keep hitting the outer edge of the window, which produced some strange movements to attract Gao Jian to poke his head out."

"And these BB bullets were obviously shot directly into the window by the murderer during the ejection process. Since there is no guardrail on the edge of the attic, these BB bullets were directly hung along the edge of the attic and attached to the iron net under the blood puppet rope net. in the board groove."

"So that's how it is." Lu Weiwei suddenly realized, and said pleasantly, "No wonder Junior Brother Gu was looking for it for a long time just now, but how did you know that these BB bullets would be scattered under the rope net of the blood puppet props?"

"Good question, this involves a question of when the crime was committed." Seeing that Lu Weiwei asked this question, Gu Chen directly extended it.

"Because after we experienced the VR scene at that time, under the leadership of Zhang Xiaomei, we were going to return to the Furong branch."

"When I walked under the blood puppet props, I clearly felt that there was a bead-shaped object in the middle of the ground, and there was more than one. It was actually these BB bombs."

Looking at the people in the Hanshan Haunted House, Gu Chen stretched out his right index finger and said, "But be careful, these BB bombs were not there when we first came to the Hanshan Haunted House and passed through this small door."

"Because we were extra careful when we entered, and the ground was swept by bright flashlights, so I dare to conclude that these BB bombs did not exist when we entered this small door."

"But when we returned, we already knew the layout of the scene, so when we left this small gate, everyone didn't pay much attention to it. But at this time, there were a few BB bullets in the middle of the road."

"This can only show that Gao Jian was hanged in the attic when we left last night, and this just verified my test on Gao Jian's body, that is, the time of Gao Jian's death was indeed in our When you leave."

"My...my God." Zhang Xiaomei wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said involuntarily, "This...isn't this too scary? Gao Jian was still in the Pansidong restaurant before, why did he leave so quickly? ..."

Glancing at Gu Chen, Zhang Xiaomei, the girl in red, hurriedly asked again: "Then Officer Gu, who do you think the murderer is?"

Gu Chen glanced at Zhang Xiaomei who was overly nervous, patted her on the shoulder and comforted her: "Of course, it must not be you, because you and Senior Brother Wang were waiting for me and Sister Lu to experience VR technology at the Pansidong Restaurant."

After glancing at the bald Han Fei next to him, Gu Chen said again: "Of course, it can't be you, Han Fei, because when we experienced the VR technology, you followed us, so it wasn't you either."

"It's not me or Han Fei, could it be..." Zhang Xiaomei seemed to be a little enlightened, and she couldn't help looking at the boss Chen Kui and her sister Zhang Xiaoyu: "It's hard... Could it be you?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Zhang Xiaoyu was also terrified there, and quickly explained: "Didn't I be with you all the time before?"

"But when we left, only Han Fei was with us, and Zhang Xiaomei and Lao Wang were waiting for us at the Pansidong restaurant. You were indeed not there at the time." Lu Weiwei also had something to say, and told Zhang Xiaoyu about the situation sort out.

Zhang Xiaoyu hurriedly explained: "But I saw Gao Jian answering a phone call and leaving, and I walked away after a long time. I just wanted to go to the toilet at that time."

Glancing at Gu Chen, Zhang Xiaoyu hurriedly explained to Gu Chen: "Officer Gu, I left a long time after Gao Jian left, and I went to the toilet. Zhang Xiaomei can testify to this."

"Yes, Officer Wang and I can testify." Seeing that the sisters were in a hurry, Zhang Xiaomei quickly explained to Gu Chen.

Zhang Xiaoyu saw Gu Chen's indifferent face, so he said again: "And even if what you said is true, there must be enough time to prepare, right? I have such a short time to go to the toilet, how can I have time?"

"When you left, I just came out of the toilet, and when I turned around, I saw Zhang Xiaomei saying hello and goodbye to you at the door."

Gu Chen glanced at Zhang Xiaomei, the girl in red, and asked, "Is that so?"

"That's right." Zhang Xiaomei nodded fiercely, and explained: "After I sent you to the car, I turned around and saw Zhang Xiaoyu coming out of the toilet door, and then I also went to the toilet. There is obviously a smell in the toilet. I can It is confirmed that Zhang Xiaoyu did go to the toilet at that time."

"That's right." Gu Chen thanked Zhang Xiaomei and Zhang Xiaoyu for their self-explanation.

In this way, Zhang Xiaoyu's suspicion can basically be ruled out.

And the last suspect who was not at the scene was Chen Kui, the owner of Hanshan Haunted House.

Gu Chen turned to face Chen Kui, and said involuntarily, "If this is the case, if all the possibilities are ruled out, then the murderer is you, Boss Chen."

After the words fell, everyone couldn't help being startled, and all eyes turned to Chen Kui.
