Although the villa buildings of the entire Riverside Villa Garden have a unified plan, the No. 18 villa of Zou Xianlong's family is still more unique than the surrounding buildings.

The most typical feature is that it is large.

And for the top rich circle, everyone is keen on the so-called individuality.

Although the developer built the rough villa, some rich people directly chose to change the rough magic to their liking.

There are even more exaggerated residents, after buying the villa, directly bulldozing it, and then building their favorite appearance on the original foundation.

That's why, originally a unified Mediterranean architectural style, turned out to be unique to each other.

All kinds of swimming pools, all kinds of elevators, and even some residents directly install glass slides on the third floor in order for their children to go downstairs quickly.

The various personalities of the top rich circle can be said to be vividly reflected in the riverside villa garden.

As for the developer, they can only turn a blind eye and try to meet the various individual requirements of the residents.

Everyone gathered in the Binjiang Villa Garden, mainly focusing on the environment here, backed by a famous school, close to the wetland park, which can be described as a natural oxygen bar.

And Zou Xianlong's No. 18 villa can be said to be unique.

Gu Chen did not search other places, but placed the key investigation subjects in the bedrooms of Zou Xianlong and Zhang Hailan.

As soon as he entered the door, Gu Chen could smell a faint fragrance.

The whole room was not messy as Zhang Hailan said.

On the contrary, it is still very neat.

A variety of high-end furniture, cloakroom everything.

From the first floor to the second floor, it is possible to take the elevator.

Any object is extremely luxurious.

"Senior Brother Gu. Lu Weiwei was a little dizzy and said: "Look at this room, is there such an exaggeration? This is more luxurious than the presidential suite, and the world of the rich is really not something we can imagine casually." ”

"Rich people are pretty much the same. Gu Chen didn't think it was exaggerated.

For Zou Xianlong's family property, it is understandable to decorate the villa luxuriously.

Gu Chen knew that the owner of the first Ferrari in the capital, a high-end residence, cost 200 million yuan just for decoration.

This is obviously unimaginable in the eyes of ordinary people.

"Everyone spread out and looked to see if they could find any clues in the room. Gu Chen said.

Officer Wang smiled: "Then I'll go to the cloakroom, Lu Weiwei, you go to the toilet to have a look, Gu Chen, you can look for it in the bedroom." ”

"Yes. Gu Chen readily agreed.

Lu Weiwei complained a little and asked, "Why am I in the toilet?"

"Because I'm afraid you'll blush when you see other people's clothes. Officer Wang glanced at Lu Weiwei and explained: "You can even be stunned by other people's bedroom decorations, looking like you have never seen the world." ”

"Huh. Lu Weiwei looked at Comrade Wang with a bitter face, and couldn't help loosening her knuckles, deliberately making a creak.

Gu Chen smiled: "Otherwise, I'll go check the toilet." ”

"Forget it, no. Lu Weiwei glanced at Officer Wang, and walked directly to the toilet with white gloves on.

Officer Wang was not idle, and went directly to the cloakroom.

Gu Chen didn't look at it randomly, but first locked his eyes on the trash can in the bedroom.

For investigators, the contents of the trash can be very informative, and many unexpected items can often be found in the trash can.

People like to clean up things they use, such as getting rid of junk files on their computers, but they can find the deleted things in the Trash.

By the same token, trash cans are the key to the police's investigation.

In Gu Chen's cognition since he was a child, Zhang Jingde often told himself that the trash can seems inconspicuous, but there are many reasoning philosophies in it.

For example, by looking at the trash cans of a school class, you can deduce the affluence of the class.

"What is this?" Gu Chen found a small medicine in the trash can at the head of the bed, and took it in his hand to observe, all of which were marked in English.

"Imported medicine?" Gu Chen frowned, and began to translate the content sentence by sentence according to the prompts of the English letters.

Probably speaking, this is a special sleeping pill produced by a foreign pharmaceutical company.

Gu Chen unscrewed the cap of the bottle, and there were still more than a dozen small pills left in it, so he poured it into his palm casually.

According to the English instructions on the drug, the production date of the drug is just two months ago, and the expiration date is one year later.

But how could such a bottle of high-end imported sleeping pills be discarded in the trash before it was used?

Gu Chen couldn't help frowning, feeling that there was something strange here.

Subsequently, Gu Chen searched other places in the bedroom and found that the quilt on the bed had been turned over, and on the bedside table, there was a glass with only half a glass of water.

Gu Chen gently held the glass in his hand and found that the fingerprints on the glass were obvious.

So Gu Chen took out the evidence collection bag he carried with him, and put the residual water in the glass and the glass in different evidence collection bags for numbering and taking pictures.

After some operation, Lu Weiwei also walked out of the toilet.

And Officer Wang also walked out of his coat and hat after visiting various underwear shows.

Seeing Gu Chen finish collecting evidence, Officer Wang asked, "Gu Chen, do you have any new discoveries?"

"There are some, but they still need to be sent to the technical department for inspection. Gu Chen put the water and glass in the evidence bag on the bedside table.

The discarded white vial was then re-packed into another forensic bag.

"What is this?" Lu Weiwei asked curiously.

"Sleeping pills, still imported. Gu Chen said.

Looking at the various items in Gu Chen's evidence collection bag, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but think about it, and then asked again: "Could it be ...... Zou Xianlong has taken sleeping pills before?"

"It's possible, but it's not certain. Gu Chen didn't answer in the affirmative, there was still room for improvement.

Because the information given by the Zou family before was that Zou Xianlong had drunk liquor at noon, and there was a lot of it.

It stands to reason that it is easy to cause drowsiness after drinking, and it should not be assisted by taking sleeping pills.

But the sleeping pills that Gu Chen found in the bedroom, as well as the half glass of water, seemed to make people feel a little unreasonable?

Officer Wang said thoughtfully: "Could this be the sleeping pill that Zou Xianlong took yesterday?"

"That's right. Lu Weiwei looked at Gu Chen and agreed with Comrade Wang: "Senior Brother Gu, if it was yesterday's sleeping pills, then it would have passed." ”

"But why throw it away?" Gu Chen took the sleeping pill in the transparent forensic bag in his hand and said, "I have checked, and there are not many particles of this imported sleeping pill, and there are only thirty capsules in one bottle. ”

"But there are still fifteen sleeping pills left here, which is basically effective for expensive imported special sleeping pills. ”

"And in the white vial, half of the amount has been taken, which just shows that this sleeping pill is effective, why should it be thrown away?"

Gu Chen's question made Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei look at each other, and they couldn't say why for a long time.

"So...... What does Senior Brother Gu mean?" asked Lu Weiwei.

"I think Zou Xianlong took sleeping pills today, which caused him to fall asleep, and the heart palsy that he was tested before may have another reason. ”

After Gu Chen walked back and forth in the bedroom a few times, he said: "According to what I know, it seems that the possibility of causing paralysis due to dirt is very low when you go into a hot bathroom to take a bath after drinking. ”

"Huh?" Lu Weiwei was also stunned after listening to Gu Chen's words: "But...... But when you were in the bathroom just now, you didn't say that, you told Zou Shihao that his father, Zou Xianlong, did meet all the characteristics of death caused by heart palsy. ”

"Yes, I've heard you say that, too. Officer Wang also hurriedly said.

Gu Chen nodded, and couldn't help but say: "That's right, I said it, and I'm not wrong, Zou Xianlong did die of heart palsy." ”

"But there is one thing that I didn't mention too much at the time, that is, Zou Xianlong took a bath after drinking, how did a person who took a hot bath cause heart palsy?"

"If I didn't judge it before, then what information did Zou Shihao give us at that time?"

"Yes...... What is it?" Lu Weiwei didn't know.

He said that his father, Zou Hsien Loong, was traumatized because he saw his mother die of illness. ”

That's why he decided to start retiring, handing over the company's business to his two sons, and marrying a squeamish man to live a retired life. ”

And Zou Xianlong pays great attention to health, and the personal doctor Liao Ze, who was only taken by the Zou family during that time, can be seen that this is a person who knows how to pay attention to his body very well. ”

"Once there is a problem in the bath, he will definitely not die so peacefully, and his expression should be painful. ”

"Wait. was also reminded by Gu Chenyi, and Officer Wang was suddenly stunned.

He began to try to recall what had just happened in the bathroom, and then it dawned on him: "Yes, when the old man died in the bathtub, his expression was indeed peaceful, as if he was asleep, and he did not show too much struggle. ”

"Can you still fall asleep in the bathtub?"

"One more point. Gu Chen then interrupted Officer Wang and said, "Have you noticed the slippers next to the bathtub?"

"Slippers?" Lu Weiwei seemed to be a little impressed, and hurriedly said: "There are a pair of slippers, isn't it Zou Xianlong wearing slippers?"

"No, you didn't pay attention to where your slippers were placed. Gu Chen said again.

"Directions?" Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang were stunned at the same time, looking at each other for some reason.

"Senior Brother Gu, don't sell it, do you see any flaws, tell us about it?" Lu Weiwei didn't want to use her brains, especially since she didn't pay attention.

It was only a check on the side of the deceased Zou Xianlong, and as for the slippers on the ground, Lu Weiwei paid attention to them, but she didn't pay attention, so she didn't know the so-called placement in Gu Chen's mouth.

Gu Chen didn't hesitate, and directly pointed to the big bed and said, "I use the bed as a bathtub now, and you can see where the slippers are placed now." ”

Then, Gu Chen turned his back directly to the big bed and faced the two.

"That's it...... That's it?" Lu Weiwei said.

Gu Chen nodded: "The slippers next to the bathtub are placed like this." ”

"But isn't this quite normal?" Lu Weiwei frowned slightly, and said weakly: "The old man puts the slippers upside down in order to make it easier to wear shoes, as long as they are together, they can wear the slippers, and they also save the trouble of turning the direction. ”

"No, it's definitely not right. Officer Wang on the side directly denied Lu Weiwei's statement.

Lu Weiwei frowned: "What's wrong?"

Gu Chen didn't mean that. Officer Wang also walked to Gu Chen's side by side, and then said, "Lu Weiwei, haven't you thought about it? According to the principle of putting the slippers upside down, the ability is not wrong." ”

"But the mistake is that the slippers are placed too neatly, and it is inconvenient to step into the bathtub. ”

"That's right!" Gu Chen saw that Officer Wang explained the mystery in his words, so he said: "If Senior Sister Lu doesn't believe it, then you can try it and see if the slippers are still lying upside down in the opposite bathtub when you step into the bathtub?"

"So? Lu Weiwei frowned slightly, directly used a soft chair in the bedroom as a bathtub, and then took off her shoes and prepared to simulate stepping into the bathtub.

But when Lu Weiwei was in the vertical soft chair, she found that the posture was quite awkward.

Because the bathtub is concave, it requires people to step into the bathtub upside down at a direction of 45 degrees, and the direction of the shoes in this matter, although it is an upside-down bathtub, is by no means a vertical angle, but a 45-degree angle.

"I see. Lu Weiwei, who had completed the simulation operation, suddenly realized: "What Senior Brother Gu means is that if Zou Xianlong stepped into the bathtub by himself, it must have stepped in diagonally at a forty-five-degree angle. ”

Therefore, the slippers at that time could never have been placed upside down in the vertical bathtub, which shows that the slippers were suspiciously placed like this. ”

Gu Chen snapped his fingers, and then congratulated: "Senior Sister Lu, you finally understand, then I want to ask you again, can you think of some situations from the placement of these slippers, as well as the sleeping pills and water in the bedroom?"

"This ......" Lu Weiwei didn't answer immediately, but hesitated slightly, and then said thoughtfully: "It shows that Zou Xianlong is likely to fall asleep after taking sleeping pills." ”

"And he was lying in the bathtub, completely moved over, and the slippers could be placed later, so that everyone thinks that Zou Xianlong stepped into the bathtub himself to do this, right?"

"Yes, exactly. Gu Chen was overjoyed, feeling that Lu Weiwei had finally gotten her own ideas.

Officer Wang was also surprised: "I said Gu Chen, even this subtle clue has been discovered by you, so why didn't you say it when you were in the bathroom just now?"

"Because I don't have any clues, and if I hadn't found the discarded sleeping pills in my bedroom, maybe I wouldn't have been able to judge my previous speculation. ”

"Although the placement of the slippers is suspicious, it doesn't say anything, but when it is linked to more clues, it makes a big difference. ”

Although Gu Chen had many concerns about the situation at the scene before, and had also considered several possibilities, but due to the limited clues at that time, Gu Chen only tried to get as many clues as possible from the oral statements of the members of the Zou family.

Now it seems that Gu Chen still has two other doubts that have not been solved, that is, how did Zou Xianlong die?

Also, if Zou Xianlong had taken sleeping pills to cause him to fall asleep, who moved him to the bathroom?

Zhang Hailan?

Although she has a good figure, she is too thin, and it does take a lot of strength to move a man of Zou Xianlong's stature.

But if it's not Zhang Hailan, then who will it be? Could it be that Zhang Hailan has an accomplice?

"Senior Brother Gu Chen. Seeing that Gu Chen had been thinking about it, Lu Weiwei asked him weakly: "What are you thinking?" Are you wondering, who moved Zou Xianlong to the bathroom?"

"That's right. Gu Chen nodded.

Officer Wang smiled directly: "Do you need to talk about this? We can see the flaws from Zhang Hailan's oral account. ”

"If these previous inferences were as you Gu Chen expected, Zou Xianlong was moved to the bathtub after taking sleeping pills, and even the slippers were deliberately placed, then this person is undoubtedly Zhang Hailan, and Zhang Hailan is lying. ”

"Senior Brother Wang, you're right. After Gu Chen walked back and forth twice in front of the two of them, he looked out the window and said:

Zhang Hailan did say that her husband Zou Xianlong decided to go to the bathroom to take a shower after drinking liquor and taking a short walk with her, which is obviously a lie. ”

"From this point of view alone, Zhang Hailan is the most suspicious, but, have you ever thought about it? With Zhang Xianlong's figure, Zhang Hailan's thin arms and legs, can she move Zou Xianlong to the bathtub independently?"

"What do you mean...... There was more than one murderer who killed Zou Xianlong? Did she have an accomplice with Zhang Hailan?" Lu Weiwei's eyes widened, and the whole person felt extremely frightened.

"Yes!" Gu Chen nodded without hesitation, and said, "She Zhang Hailan must have an accomplice, but who will he be? Is it Zou Shihao or Zou Kaiwen? or someone else?"

"What if it's any one of them, and then they deliberately lie when they give their testimony? ”

Officer Wang felt that what Gu Chen said was reasonable, and he also followed the train of thought and analyzed: "Gu Chen, I think Zou Shihao is unlikely, if it were him, he would definitely not insist that the police intervene in the investigation." ”

"If it were him, wouldn't he have nothing to do and dig a pit to bury himself?"

"That's right, Zou Shihao's suspicion is the least, and it can be basically ruled out, and he and Zhang Hailan are incompatible, and there are many contradictions between the two, so it is unlikely that they will be united. Gu Chen said.

"Could that be Zou Shiwen? He seems to be deeply hidden, and he was the first to feel the scene after receiving a call from his little stepmother Zhang Hailan. Lu Weiwei has long been a little suspicious of Zou Shiwen, who is protecting Zhang Hailan.

Because judging from the dispute just now, it seems that Zou Shiwen is on the side of his little stepmother Zhang Hailan.

He is also more opposed to police intervention, and does not seem to believe that his old man was killed.

So according to the law of association, Lu Weiwei first put the object of suspicion on Zou Shiwen, because he seemed to be on the opposite side of his younger brother Zou Shihao.
