There was a sudden panic in the living room.

Many Italian policemen, including Mario, Fabio, and Officer George, also showed surprised faces when they heard Gu Chen's words.

In order to verify that what Gu Chen said was true, George specially squatted down and repeatedly confirmed the body of the deceased Matthew.

The result finally obtained was the same as Gu Chen had speculated.

That's right, Matthew's back of the neck does have deep strangulation marks.

And taking the hanging situation to calculate, there will only be a V-shaped mark on Matthew's neck.

This is clearly not the same as a suicide situation.

"Gu Chen. Anna took a deep breath, nodded and said, "The two anomalies you mentioned do prove that Matthew did not hang himself." ”

"No...... Didn't you hang yourself?" Listening to Officer Anna's words, Matthew's neighbor Aresandra was stunned.

She walked up to Matthew's body and said incredulously, "How is this possible? If it wasn't suicide, how could the scene be like this?"

"Ms. Aresandra. Gu Chen walked up to her and reminded, "When was the last time you saw Matthew?"

"For the last time, this ...... Let me think. Aresandra was completely unaware of what was wrong at the moment, and the sudden change of circumstances also caught her by surprise.

She thought quietly for a few seconds before she said lightly: "Yesterday at about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, I gave Matthew the food I bought from the supermarket. ”

"Did Matthew open the door at that time?" asked Gu Chen.

Aresandra nodded: "That's right, it was indeed Matthew who opened the door at that time." ”

"Was there anyone else in Matthew's house at the time?" asked Anna as well.

"Nope. Aresandra still shook her head, looked around for a week, and reconfirmed: "At that time, I sent it to his table and asked him to eat these ingredients for dinner, after all, I was going to participate in an event in the community in the evening, and I couldn't make dinner for him, and I comforted him a few words." ”

"But at that time, Matthew's mood seemed to have eased, and I felt that he seemed to be full of sadness, but I didn't expect to encounter this situation this morning. ”

"Wait a minute. Gu Chen directly interrupted Aresandra's words and asked, "You said that you left the house last night, so you sent him breakfast as soon as possible, why can you conclude that Matthew must be at home?

"That's right. Anna listened to Gu Chen's words, and also asked, "You're so sure." ”

"This ...... Of course I can be sure of that. Also asked by the police, Aresandra hurriedly walked to the door, pointed to a pair of old football boots outside, and said: "Matthew has always worn these shoes when he goes out, this is his habit." ”

"As soon as I see the shoes still in the doorway, I know Matthew is still at home, and that's fine, I swear. ”

"Okay, thank you, Ms. Aresandra. Anna nodded silently, pulled out her notebook, and began to record it all.

At the same time, Gu Chen continued to ask Aresandra, "Then do you know that someone came to Matthew's house last night?"

"I don't know. Aresandra shook her head.

"What about Matthew's acquaintances, who are the people who are close to him? You always know this?" Gu Chen asked again.

Aresandra shrugged her shoulders and put on a helpless look and said, "To be honest, Matthew is a child who doesn't fit in, he has almost no friends, but ......"

Thinking of this, Aresandra seemed to remember something, and she hurriedly said: "By the way, the talented teenager Ronaldo who plays in Serie B is his best friend, and the two have a good relationship. ”

"I heard Matthew say that he was able to stay in Italy and get out of refugee status because of the help of Ronaldo. ”

"And I'm also at home, I've seen Ronaldo come to Matthew's house, Matthew had just moved here at that time, and Ronaldo came a lot. ”

"At that time?" Gu Chen quickly deduced from Aresandra's words: "At that time, did you mean that Matthew had just entered the academy, and it should have been many years?"

"Yes. Aresandra nodded slightly and said: "Seven or eight years ago, I heard that Matthew was very good in the academy, and the club owner valued it very much, and this house was also bought by Ronaldo's uncle, that is, the owner of the Liberty team." ”

Because Matthew signed a long-term contract with the Liberty Club at that time, the owner of the Liberty Club overdrew Matthew's salary at the club in advance, allowing him to live here and get rid of refugee status. ”

"But there is one condition, Matthew has to sign a long-term contract for the Liberty. ”

"How long did they sign a contract?" Anna was intrigued, feeling more and more interested in Matthew's relationship with the Liberty Club.

"I don't know, but I think it's going to be quite long, otherwise with the subsidies and bonuses that Matthew paid for playing in the Liberties Academy, it would have been difficult to buy a house here. ”

"I see. Anna nodded slightly, and fell into deep thought for a moment.

And after Gu Chen fully listened to Aresandra's words, he was also curious and said: "Ms. Aresandra, I want to know, what you said about Ronaldo often came to Matthew's house at that time, that is, seven or eight years ago, so what about now?

"Hmm!" Aresandra frowned slightly, a little regretful, "Ever since Matthew was kicked into a crushed fracture in a game, his career has basically ended. ”

The doctor told him he could play but not the league, so from then on, Matthew returned home with less than a few months left on his Liberty Academy contract, and he has been recovering from his injury ever since. ”

"And Ronaldo has been to see him a few times since then, and I remember very clearly, I also took pictures with him at that time. ”

After a pause, Aressandra added: "But later, that is, in the past few years, Ronaldo rarely came to see Matthew, and I remember it very clearly. ”

"You know, people with Matthew's personality really don't have any friends, especially after the injury ends their careers, and those friends who used to be contacted by chance may no longer be in touch. ”

After all, they still have a professional league to play, but Matthew can only rely on his own skills to eat from now on, so Matthew will go to Zone A Square every day to play freestyle football to subsidize his family. ”

Listening to Aresandra's words, everyone's hearts are not happy.

Like Mario and Fabio, the two are also familiar with Matthew, but they only know that this is a relatively optimistic teenager.

At least insisting on playing football in Zone A Square every day and becoming an evergreen among the street performers there is not something that ordinary people can persevere.

It can be said that the evergreen artists who perform in the square of Area A are mostly old artists, and there are not many peers like Matthew.

It is precisely because Matthew, who has dirty pigtails, that he has his own label attributes.

So although you can't name Matthew's real name, when you think of the pigtailed guy playing freestyle football in the square in Area A, everyone can think of him nine times out of ten.

Seeing Gu Chen fall into thought, Lu Weiwei walked up to him and asked, "Senior Brother Gu, it seems that after Matthew left the team, life is simply different, the so-called tree falls and scatters, maybe this is the truth." ”

"Yes. Gu Chen nodded slightly and said, "According to our conversation with Oliver, the owner of the Liberty Club, it is also clear that a large part of the reason why Matthew has fallen to this point today is because Matthew is too conceited. ”

"Coupled with Matthew's lone wolf style of play, it's really hard to get your teammates to like him. ”

However, from our contact with Matthew, he seems to be bowing his head to reality now, at least he is no longer so conceited, and being able to be a street performer in Zone A Square for so many years shows that he has already put down his pride and accepted reality. ”

"Officer Gu, you're right. Fabio walked up to Matthew's body and said, "I don't know what happened to Matthew before, but I've known him since he started playing freestyle football in the square in Zone A, and he was very polite and flattering. ”

'I remember one time when Matthew's fellow team-mates in the Academy were even sneering at him on the spot, but Matthew wasn't angry. ”

"If this were the same as before, I guess Matthew would have been fighting for him, I promise, it's true. ”

"Well, I agree with you, Officer Fabio. Gu Chen agreed with Fabio's statement and turned to Aresandra and asked, "Lady Aresandra, who else knows that Matthew must bring this photo with a miniature group photo of his family before going out?"

"Ronaldo. Aresandra said without hesitation: "Ronaldo also knows." ”

"Why are you so sure?" asked Gu Chen.

"Because...... Because the last time Ronaldo drove to Matthew's house and picked him up to the Liberals' Club, Matthew had forgotten to put the necklace on before going out. ”

The car drove half a mile, and he asked Ronaldo to drive back, saying that it was his lucky thing and that he couldn't leave his body. ”

"I remember Ronaldo sneering at him and feeling like he was doing something redundant, so I'm sure Ronaldo must have known. ”

"Thank you. Gu Chen nodded slightly and looked at Anna beside him.

From Gu Chen's eyes, Anna seemed to understand Gu Chen's meaning, and couldn't help but ask weakly, "Gu Chen, what do you mean...... Do you suspect that the person who attacked Matthew was Ronaldo?"

Gu Chen didn't answer immediately, but walked back to Matthew's body, pointed to Matthew's black coat and said, "This dress is very beautiful and formal, at least it is very different from the Matthew we saw in the square in Area A, what does this mean?"

"Explain that he may be going out. Officer Wang walked from the side and said.

"Yes, that's right. Gu Chen snapped his fingers, and then pointed to Matthew's leather shoes: "Look at this, you all heard what Ms. Aresandra said just now, right? Look at Matthew's leather shoes again." ”

"I know. Yuan Shasha on the side replied: "Ms. Aresandra said just now that Matthew has always worn those old football boots when he goes out, because he goes out to make money." ”

"Xiao Yuan is right. Gu Chen nodded silently, looked at Anna and said, "Anna, these leather shoes are polished and shiny, and she is wearing a black coat, what does this mean?"

"He's going out. Anna stared intently at Matthew's corpse and said with great certainty, "Matthew is going out, or rather, he's going to attend an important meeting." ”

"That's right. Gu Chen agreed with Anna's statement and said, "Matthew, a casual and peaceful person, suddenly dressed so formally, must be going to meet with an important person, of course, it may also be that the meeting place is more important, so he will pay special attention to his dress." ”

Looking around, looking at Mario, Fabio, and George and a group of Italian policemen in front of him, Gu Chen seemed to be in control of the audience, and said: "Matthew's parents just died, and he should have had a nervous breakdown. ”

"But don't you think it's strange that he's suddenly going to meet someone at this time, and he's dressed up so well?"

"Definitely. Lu Weiwei nodded silently and agreed: "Could it be ...... He's going to meet some acquaintance?"

"It could be Ronaldo. Anna looked at the necklace around Matthew's neck, looked back at Gu Chen and said, "Except for Ms. Aresandra, there is only Ronaldo who knows that Matthew is going to wear this necklace when he goes out." ”

"And judging from your analysis just now, Matthew was strangled to death by others, and then the other party put the necklace on Matthew's neck, which shows that the murderer knew that Matthew had the habit of wearing this necklace when he went out, so he ......"

So, the murderer wanted to cover it up, but he didn't know that it exposed himself. Gu Chen said.

"Yes. Anna very much agreed with Gu Chen's opinion.

But suddenly, Anna hesitated again.

Everyone knows that Anna has always regarded Ronaldo as an idol, but now that Ronaldo has become the biggest suspect, it is somewhat unbelievable.

At least many Italian policemen, including Anna, are unwilling to accept this fact.

Mario retorted at the time: "This is definitely not true, Ronaldo has always been Matthew's best teammate, how can he kill Matthew?

"Yes, we all saw Ronaldo playing football on the pitch yesterday and then leaving in his uncle Mr. Oliver's Mercedes Benz, how could he have time to come here?"

"Everyone. Gu Chen suddenly interrupted everyone's quarrel and said lightly: "Matthew's death time was around 11 o'clock last night, and after we met with Ronaldo last night, the time may be after 10 o'clock." “

"Based on the driving distance, he did have plenty of time to get here, so do you have any comments?"

"No...... No, you said that the time of his death was around 11 o'clock in the evening?" Officer George looked at Gu Chen suspiciously, and said in disbelief: "How did you know?"

"That's right. Looking at the young Gu Chen, he could determine the time of death of the deceased Matthew when he opened his mouth, Fabio on the side was also stunned, and hurriedly said: "Officer Gu, you are not a forensic doctor, just by observing Matthew's body a few times, you can conclude that Matthew's death time was around 11 o'clock last night, this is ...... It's a bit of a stretch. ”

"That's right. ”

"This Chinese police officer is a little confused, right?"

"It seems that the leader of the Chinese police team also has a problem with bragging. ”

"Haha, this forensic doctor didn't dare to say nonsense without identification, he dared to say it so easily. ”

The other Italian policemen who were originally standing on the sidelines began to sneer when Gu Chen proposed the time of death of the deceased Matthew.

In everyone's opinion, professional things should be done by professionals.

The identification of the body of the Luocheng Police Station is usually done by forensic doctors, but Gu Chenzhi is a policeman sent to Italy to gild, doing joint patrols to help Chinese tourists and overseas Chinese solve problems.

In this way, he also dared to speak out and show off his ignorance in front of the Italian police?

Seeing that the colleagues around her began to tease, Anna was a little embarrassed, and she hurriedly reminded Gu Chen: "Gu Chen, the time of death needs to be identified by a forensic doctor, so don't talk nonsense here." ”

"He's not talking nonsense. Just as Anna was playing the round, a police officer from Ronaldo's iron fan stood up and said: "He also concluded just now that Ronaldo is the biggest suspect, since he thinks Ronaldo is the murderer, of course the Chinese police will say that the time of death is 11 o'clock in the evening." ”

"Haha, Chinese police. ”

Many people sneered on the sidelines.

In everyone's opinion, Gu Chen is not very old and his tone is not small, at least many of the Italian policemen present are longer than Gu Chen in terms of police age.

can let a junior Chinese policeman guide everyone to sort out the case on the spot, which makes it feel very funny.

Of course, Gu Chen also has his own shining points.

For example, just now, the strangulation marks on the neck of the deceased Matthew, as well as the small detail of the necklace being put outside the rope, were the first to be discovered by Gu Chen.

But based on this alone, everyone could not convince Gu Chen.

After all, as long as everyone carefully checks and finds these two flaws, it is nothing more than a matter of time.

Therefore, everyone took the two suspicious points that Gu Chen first discovered just now as Gu Chen's luck, and they were not related to his ability.

But when Gu Chen threw out his opinion on the time of death, the Italian police present stopped doing it, after all, this involved professional and technical aspects.

Gu Chen did not deny his opinion because of the distrust of the Italian police.

Handled cases in China, studied under Forensic Doctor Liu, and also learned a lot of identification techniques about the time of death.

But from the remarks of these Italian policemen just now, Gu Chen felt that everyone's professional level seemed to be too biased towards seeking help from forensic doctors.

If the forensic doctor is not present, no one dares to jump to conclusions.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen couldn't help but smile and said, "What I said is not wrong, according to the physical condition of the deceased Matthew, the time of his death should indeed be around 11 o'clock last night." ”

"Officer Gu. The fat policeman Mario was a little embarrassed and said, "You said that Matthew died at 11 o'clock last night, on what basis?"

Gu Chen smiled slightly and said, "There are a few tips for identifying the time of death of the corpse, including looking at the stiffness of the corpse, judging according to the temperature of the corpse, and so on. ”

"In fact, through these techniques, it is not possible to quickly and accurately conclude that practice makes perfect, and even if ordinary people know these points, but without many practices, there will be judgment errors. ”

"Huh. George couldn't help sneering twice, turned his head to look at Anna beside him, and said: "Anna, I think this Chinese policeman is a bit interesting, I still don't believe it, he can determine the time of death of the deceased based on these things, and he is not a forensic doctor." ”
