Sitting in the assault car of the Luocheng Police Station, Officer George led everyone to the intersection of the alley where the man in the cap often disappears.

After getting off the bus, everyone brought the necessary equipment and prepared to enter in batches.

"I think I need to explain it to you first. ”

Just as everyone was about to enter, George stopped in front of everyone and opened his hands and introduced: "This is a place where immigrants and smugglers often gather, so, you know, pay attention to safety." ”

"Understood, thanks for the reminder, Officer George. After Gu Chen buckled up his police equipment, he thanked George for reminding him.

As far as the eye can see, the alleys are extremely narrow, the buildings are intricate, and the sanitary conditions seem to be poor.

Compared to the other clean and tidy streets of Luocheng, this seems to be another world.

When Gu Chen entered the intersection of the alley, he made some observations on the surveillance on the surrounding streets.

Judging from the picture of the monitoring center of the Luocheng Police Station, the diagonal opposite of the alley intersection is the last surveillance camera that can be observed in the monitoring center.

Of course, there are also surveillance in the alleys, but most of them are smashed.

Some are even hung upside down in the air, while the wiring of the monitoring device is exposed.

"It seems that the residents who live here don't seem to want others to monitor their **?" Gu Chen asked deliberately teasingly.

Anna shrugged and smiled, "Who knows? But the security in this area is really bad, many of them are descendants of illegal immigrants, and there are also illegal refugees." ”

"They live in groups and are more exclusionary of non-ethnic people, so they are also classified as dangerous places by our police. ”

"In short, if you want to investigate here, it's best not to provoke them, so as not to make them do some drastic actions. ”

"Understood. Listening to Anna's words, Gu Chen probably knew what the situation was here.

As Officer George said in the investigation, the man in the cap, every time he entered the alley, he disappeared without a trace, let alone traced.

The reason is simple......

The cameras installed by the police in this area have been deliberately damaged, and it seems that the residents of the area do not welcome the surveillance by the Italian police.

The reason is simple......

This is a place of right and wrong, and the composition of the personnel is also mixed.

African-Americans, Asians, and Latinos, have formed an inherent circle here, and the group is growing.

The Italian police must consider appropriate ways to enforce the law appropriately, which is why Officer George is reluctant to bring people into the investigation.

At the intersection of the alley, two African-American children sat on a stone bench and played, seemingly unaware of the arrival of the police.

In their opinion, as long as it is not relevant to them, they are not interested.

According to the situation observed in the monitoring center of the police station before, Gu Chen quickly created a 3D map of the neighborhood in his mind.

The last time the man in the cap was seen was at the intersection of an alley.

Therefore, to track the whereabouts of the man in the cap, it is also necessary to start from the entrance of the alley.

"Let's go inside. Gu Chen took the lead in proposing.

Everyone looked at each other and nodded in acquiescence.

On the side of the Chinese police team, Gu Chen took Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha to enter side by side from the left side.

On the side of the Italian police team, Georgio, Anna, Mario, Fabio and Carmelo also chose to enter from the right.

"Kid, get out of here. Seeing that no adults were present, Carmelo drove the two African-American children directly.

The boys ran away in fear......

Carmelo crossed his hands, looked around and said: "This kind of place, that is, a group of people with low income, or no income at all, live here, they are a burden on the city, I think this kind of place is better to be rare." ”

Seeing a thin and unkempt little girl looking at her, Carmelo glared at her directly, and the little girl was so frightened that she quickly closed the window.

"Hehe, I think they're still afraid of the police, not as scary as Uncle Fernando said, they're all a bunch of timid guys. ”

Anna glanced at him and said disgustedly: "I said Camero, I still want to remind you, don't think that you will be afraid of you just because you scare away a few children." ”

"Hehe, so what?" said Carmelo shrugged, looking fearless.

"Alright, everyone don't quarrel. Officer George interrupted everyone's conversation, turned his head and asked Gu Chen, "Officer Gu, the place is here, do you see anything unusual?"

Gu Chen didn't answer immediately, but walked to the middle of the alley, looked around 360 degrees, and then said, "Anyway, this is the last place where the man in the cap disappeared." ”

"To find clues from this kind of place, I think it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. Carmelo walked up to Gu Chen, and said angrily: "Do you think it's necessary to come?" Officer Gu. ”

Gu Chen smiled indifferently and said, "Whether it is necessary or not, but after we come to the scene, if you can first identify the area where evidence may be collected through observation." ”

"And then you start working on the site, and then you have a 70 to 80 percent chance of success. ”

Glancing at the careless Carmelo in front of him, Gu Chen said again: "You don't expect to have such a magic wand, as long as you use it to wave it on the spot, those fingerprints will jump out and appear in front of your eyes, Officer Carmelo." ”

"You ......" Carmelo was also choked by Gu Chen's anger, and he was speechless for a while.

George and Anna looked at each other and sneered.

Mario and Fabio also pretended not to hear, and quickly looked away.

Carmelo was not convinced, and directly retorted: "In this kind of place, at most, it is just a place where the man in the cap passes by, even if we are well-equipped, I don't think we will necessarily gain anything." ”

"You're wrong again Officer Carmello. Gu Chen seamlessly connected and said lightly: "In the process of dealing with crime scenes, even if you have the most advanced crime scene detection technology in the world, you must use your brain when using it. ”

After looking around, Gu Chen looked at everyone and said, "If you don't know where to look for fingerprints, then no matter how much technology you have, it won't help." ”

"If you don't want to use your brain yet, then you can go back and watch Sherlock Holmes. ”

"Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes, he's a master observer, and he uses all kinds of science and technology, but the bottom line is that he's a master observer. ”

"Senior Brother Gu, what you said is fantastic. Lu Weiwei was also excited when she saw that Gu Chen had nothing to say about Carmelo.

"Officer Gu is right. Officer George also agreed with Gu Chen's statement very much, so he walked up to Camero, slapped him on the shoulder and said, "I asked you to come over, I came to handle the case, but I didn't listen to you complain here." ”

"If Director Fernando hadn't been your uncle, I don't think you would have had the opportunity to stand here at all, cherish it, boy. ”

With two heavy taps on Carmelo's shoulder, Officer George turned to the observation stage.

"You...... George, we're all Italian policemen, how can you help him talk to the Chinese police?"

Carmelo was also angry......

In his opinion, when Gu Chen's Chinese police team first arrived in Luocheng, everyone was still monolithic.

But as Gu Chen continued to solve cases at the Luocheng Police Station, his status rose in a straight line.

George also despised Gu Chen from the beginning, and slowly became a little admired.

After all, Gu Chen is a person with real skills, and Carmelo is a relation.

Not only that, Carmelo also clearly felt the change in his uncle Fernando's attitude towards Gu Chen.

It stands to reason that Fernando is a person with obvious prejudices against the Chinese police, but such a person who is more reluctant to promote the Chinese police's visit and even does not want to publicize the visit of the Chinese police too much has even begun to look at Gu Chen differently.

This is definitely not good news for Carmelo.

Now this is the Italian police team, and it is all towards Gu Chen and the Chinese police team.

Carmelo felt isolated......

Seeing his former colleague chatting hotly with Gu Chen and the Chinese police, he couldn't interject.

That's embarrassing......

"Officer George, what do you think of this neighborhood?" Gu Chen and George asked as they walked side by side.

George said thoughtfully: "In my work impression, there are many small grocery stores selling tobacco and alcohol in this neighborhood, and there are frequent robberies. ”

"For whatever reason, I told you before, after all, the composition of the staff here is very complex and not easy to manage. ”

"But the weird thing about those cases is when you get a call to the police about a robbery and you get to the scene. ”

"You'll see a few euros in the cash register, and you'll think, what's going on? Is the robber going to leave a little money for the victim?"

"And this kind of thing?" Gu Chen had also heard of it for the first time, so he was also curious.

"Not really. Officer George shook his head and said, "I've met one before, and the one who runs the grocery store is an immigrant. ”

"After the robbers left, they would say, 'Okay, the robbery is over, it's time to get to work, I'm going to have to tear off the tape and go back and sell some lottery tickets or something.'" ”

"Oh my God, is there such a thing?" Lu Weiwei was also amazed, and asked weakly: "Isn't he ready to resist?

"Who's to say it's not?" Anna also sighed helplessly, "These people have a high level of professionalism, but this is not good for crime scene protection." ”

"Some people are afraid of being robbed and don't want to provoke these people, but there is no way to open a store there. ”

"Sometimes there is even a tacit agreement with the robbers, who come to the door to rob the property and only collect the day's turnover. ”

"After that, they won't bother for ten days and a half months, and these grocery stores will also prepare some cash at a certain time period of time, and that's how they reached a tacit understanding. ”

"So in this area, our police occasionally receive such a call from the police, but when they came to the scene, they found that they were still open, and the traces of the scene were messy, and it was impossible to collect evidence normally. ”

"So that's also the difficulty for us in enforcing the law in this region. Mario added.

Gu Chen nodded silently, indicating understanding.

Walking in such an area, it seems that everyone on both sides of the road is watching out for each other.

This is a little different from what I imagined before.

It seems that this is the dark side of some corner of the metropolis.

It can be seen that the man in the cap chose to get rid of the surveillance and tracking from this area, and he also knows the essence of this area.

Gu Chen knew very well that when entering this area, you had to have an extremely open mind.

In Gu Chen's existing dictionary, nothing was impossible.

Let your mind wander around, use your brain, and think about what this man in the cap will do in this area, how he will do it, where he is, and what he might do.

Gu Chen needs to enter such a thinking process......

"Wait a minute. Just when Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei walked side by side to an intersection, Gu Chen suddenly stopped.

Then he took a step back, his gaze raised, and stared at the balcony of a residential building in front of him.

"What's wrong, Senior Brother Gu?" Lu Weiwei asked him curiously.

Gu Chen didn't answer immediately, but walked directly to the intersection of the residential building, looked at the labor protection clothes hanging on the balcony, and couldn't help but say, "Could it be that someone in his house does the cleaning work?"

"Of course there is a labor protection suit to do cleaning work, is there anything wrong with this?" Anna walked to Gu Chen's side silently, her eyes also staring at the labor protection suit in front of her.

Seeing that Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Anna were all gathered there, Officer Wang, Mario and Fabio immediately followed suit.

Everyone gathered together at a trot......

"What's wrong?"

"Any questions?"

"Did you find something?"

......

Everyone was chattering about the situation.

Gu Chen clasped his hands to his chest and said with some hesitation: "On the way to this area, I also saw some people wearing labor insurance uniforms to work, but their labor protection clothes are very old, and they are all logos of a famous labor insurance company. ”

"But this suit is very strange, it doesn't have the logo of the suit, and it looks brand new. ”

"That's right. Lu Weiwei suddenly found out that she was tired, and hurriedly said: "Isn't the labor protection clothing distributed by my own company?" There is no company logo, which means that the labor protection clothing is newly bought. ”

"I see. Anna suddenly interrupted Lu Weiwei's words and said, "Although our labor insurance companies here are all subcontracted to different private companies, as you said, they are indeed marked by logos. ”

"Of course, I don't rule out some of my own purchases, but it's quite small, and the cleaning work in this area, I remember is a T company, and they are responsible for all the cleaning of this area. ”

Glancing at the clothes on the balcony, Anna Dai frowned slightly and said, "Whether what you said is right or not, anyway, if you want to find the trace of the man in the cap now, it can be said that you are looking for a needle in a haystack." ”

"If you can really get lucky, maybe ......"

"Needless to say, if you can find a key clue, it's complicated and it just looks simple. ”

Gu Chen said directly to the upstairs labor protection uniform: "I saw the sign on the labor protection clothing from the picture in the monitoring center. ”

"Cherry blossom totem?" Lu Weiwei said first.

"That's right, this is exactly the same as the labor protection suit we found on the fat man standing by the side after Schrödinger went out. ”

"On the way here, I made a special inquiry about the supply of local labor protection clothing. ”

"I found out that in this area of Luocheng, there is only one Sakura logo labor protection clothing for sale, and a grocery store called 'Mt. Fuji Labor Protection Supplies', the owner of which is an East Asian islander. ”

"This ...... Can you find out this?" Officer George listened to Gu Chen's words, and the whole person couldn't help but be surprised.

In Officer George's opinion, Gu Chen didn't seem to be idle all the time.

It's just a piece of labor protection clothing that is drying, and it can capture so much information.

At this moment, Officer George felt more and more that the gap between himself and Gu Chen seemed to be a little bigger.

"Whether it's or not, we'll see. Anna also seemed more confident after capturing this information.

At the very least, Gu Chen kept narrowing the scope.

And Gu Chen, who was on the side, also said as he walked: "This man in a peaked cap frequently disappears from this area, maybe he lives nearby." ”

And according to the previous judgment, the cigarette butts that appeared in William's house are indeed cheap goods, and they are also in line with the income level of the residents in this area. ”

"I hope so, if that is the case, it would be great. Anna nodded silently and knocked directly on the door of the resident's house.

After about ten seconds, a tall and thin black woman gently pushed open the door and asked, "Please...... Is there anything you can do?"

Anna looked left and right and asked, "How many people are in your family?"

"My husband and I have two children. The black woman said.

"Then does your husband do cleaning and labor insurance work?" Gu Chen also interjected and asked.

The black woman shook her head: "No, my husband does not work in Claude Ro, but serves in the French Foreign Legion and is currently on a mission overseas. ”

"French Foreign Legion?" Officer Wang, who understood the English of the black woman, asked directly, "Then why does your family live in Luocheng, Italy, instead of France?"

"My husband is trying to get French citizenship and when he retires, we will go to France. The black woman said.

Hearing this, Gu Chen also nodded silently and said, "That means that no one in your family is doing labor insurance cleaning work at present, right?"

"Yes and no. The black woman's answer was quite crisp.

"But...... What's the matter with the labor protection clothes hanging on the balcony of your house?" Anna asked, hesitating for a moment, pointing in the direction of the balcony.

The black woman was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said in a panic: "It's difficult...... Could it be that the owner of the labor protection suit wants to go back? I found it in a nearby garbage can, and I thought no one wanted it. ”

"I said that it was a pity to lose such a good dress, so I picked it up and washed it and prepared to sell it at the night market, maybe some workers would like it, after all, it looks good. ”

Listening to the words of the black woman, everyone understood it all now.

The labor protection suit with the cherry blossom logo on it was found by the black woman in the trash can.

So, the labor protection suit is likely to be a disguise discarded by the man in the cap?

......
