，

In the garden, after Gu Chen walked back and forth twice, his eyes were always fixed on the window of William's house.

There were still two minutes left before his preset departure time, Gu Chen simply walked to the window and observed the situation in the room through the glass.

"The furnishings seem to have been tampered with. Gu Chen narrowed his eyes and continued to block the sunlight with his hands.

"There's a cigarette butt on the ground?"

"Senior Brother Gu, what are you talking about?" Lu Weiwei couldn't help but ask curiously when she saw Gu Chen's thoughts.

"I said, there was a cigarette butt on the floor in the room of William's house. Gu Chen said.

Lu Weiwei was stunned for a moment, looked back at the cigarette butt at the doorstep, and asked, "Is this the case?"

"It must be a brand. Gu Chen nodded silently, comparing the two cigarette butts indoors and outdoors.

Lu Weiwei hurried to the window, followed Gu Chen's observation, and roughly observed the situation in the house.

Soon, Lu Weiwei also found some kittens, and hurriedly said to Gu Chen: "Senior Brother Gu, do you feel that the furniture in this house is a little displaced?"

"I can see it too. Gu Chen nodded silently and said, "The stool is a little overturned, since it is indoors, why not straighten it up?"

"There is also the parallel line between the dining table and the tile, which seems to deviate a little outrageously, excluding the so-called obsessive-compulsive people, it should not be such a furnishing, but it seems to have been knocked open. ”

"Agreed. Lu Weiwei nodded silently and said, "The furnishings in the house are indeed all traces of collisions. ”

"And cigarette butts. Gu Chen continued to remind: "It stands to reason that I can conclude yesterday that William is not a smoker, but his yard is clean and tidy, why did cigarette butts appear on the steps at the door?"

"Even if there are cigarette butts on the doorstep, there are cigarette butts on the inside of the house, which is a bit of a stretch. ”

"William is going to clean up, isn't he? ”

"Gu ...... Senior Brother Gu. Listening to Gu Chen's words, Lu Weiwei suddenly felt extremely frightened by careful thought, and she hurriedly asked, "You mean, there may be outsiders in the house who have come to the house and had a conflict with William." ”

"And the furniture in these houses is likely to have been produced during the fight between the smoker and William?"

Gu Chen was silent for a moment, and after some thought, he said: "William made an appointment with us yesterday to be at home today, so he shouldn't miss the appointment, after all, the mobile phone is still in the room." ”

"However, what Senior Sister Lu said just now should really be taken into account, although this idea is more risky, it cannot be ruled out, after all, all the clues now point to this. ”

"Then let's knock the door open and see. Lu Weiwei proposed.

Gu Chen hurriedly refused: "Senior Sister Lu, this is Luocheng, Italy, we are Chinese policemen, just wearing Chinese police uniforms and slamming open the door of Italian citizens' houses, if you are caught by bad media, it will be a big problem." ”

"Oh, too. Lu Weiwei suddenly realized and said, "I was too excited just now, I didn't think of these problems." ”

Glancing at Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei hurriedly asked again: "Then Senior Brother Gu, what should we do now?"

"You go and contact Anna and explain to them what we're doing here, and besides, let's turn on the body camera, and I'll go around the neighborhood and see if there are any other clues." ”

"Good. Lu Weiwei has always obeyed Gu Chen's instructions.

Given the current status of the Chinese police, there is no obligation to conduct an independent investigation into the Italian case.

Moreover, this is just everyone's speculation, whether the specific situation is or not, this remains to be considered.

Here, Lu Weiwei began to use her mobile phone to contact Anna, and explained to Anna the situation she and Gu Chen encountered at William's house.

On the other side, Gu Chen had already begun to search the periphery of William's house.

Gu Chen pointed the law enforcement recorder in front and walked to the back door step by step.

To be honest, it was the first time to carry out this kind of task alone in Italy, and Gu Chen was still panicked.

After all, this involves some over-the-top content of the white paper, and it is not what I should do as a Chinese police officer.

If it is really not as he speculated, William just went out and forgot his mobile phone at home by mistake, and the displacement of these furniture in the home was just an accident, then he and Lu Weiwei acted without authorization, and they would definitely give the Italian police a truth.

This is detrimental to the image of the Chinese police......

But as a police officer, in a foreign country, if he knew that the danger was nearby and didn't deal with it, Gu Chen felt uncomfortable.

From a moral point of view, Gu Chen knew that he should make a move.

However, Gu Chen is in Luocheng, Italy, and has no independent law enforcement power, and these provisions restrict Gu Chen's actions.

Therefore, it is more appropriate to contact Anna to explain the situation and let the Italian police team where Anna belongs come over to deal with it.

And he can provide some preliminary investigation and provide necessary help to the Italian police team where Anna is located.

When Gu Chen came to the back door of William's house, he found that the back door was unexpectedly empty, and there was no sign of locking.

After looking left and right, Gu Chen took out his mobile phone and continued to dial William's number.

And at this moment, the familiar bell rang again from William's house.

Gu Chen stood at the door and shouted loudly while holding his mobile phone.

But after more than ten seconds had passed, the bell in the room kept ringing, and there was any response from William.

"Isn't there really an accident?" Gu Chen didn't hesitate anymore, took out a white glove from the police equipment, put it between his hands, and then pointed the law enforcement recorder in front of him.

"I'm going to enter William's house now because I heard William's cell phone ringing, and I'm afraid William is in danger. ”

Gu Chen said to the air in front of him, mainly because now that the law enforcement recorder is turned on, it is conducive to avoiding some unnecessary troubles by making an entry explanation at the door.

After the complete normal operation, wearing white-gloved hands, the door was gently pushed open.

At this moment, the room was as quiet as ever, and there was no movement.

Gu Chen's brows tightened, cautiously observing the surrounding movements.

"It seems that no one is at home?" Gu Chen took out his mobile phone again and dialed William's mobile phone number.

At this time, Gu Chen obviously felt that the mobile phone ringtone was in the corner of the living room, very close to his position.

At this time, Gu Chen found that there were obviously many traces of drag under his feet, and there were even many household objects scattered.

Gu Chen obviously felt that the situation was wrong, so he didn't think much about it, and continued to walk towards the place where the bell rang.

At this moment, William was lying at his feet, his eyes raised, and he seemed to have long lost his breath.

"Mr. William, Mr. William, what's wrong with you?" Gu Chen hurriedly squatted down and did a preliminary examination on William who had fallen to the ground.

But in an instant, Gu Chen felt a sense of loss.

That's right, William has long since lost his breath, and the whole person has already returned to the West Heaven.

At this moment, Lu Weiwei also found Gu Chen's traces through the front door window, and she quickly knocked on the window.

Gu Chen didn't hesitate, in fact, he immediately opened the front door.

At this moment, Lu Weiwei walked into the living room in surprise, saw William fall to the ground, and gasped and said, "Wei...... Mr. William, what's the matter?"

"Suffocation to death. ”

"Suffocation...... Suffocation to death?" Lu Weiwei was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Senior Brother Gu, how could Mr. William suffocate to death?

"Probably strangled to death. Gu Chen squatted down again, pointed to several scars on William's neck and said, "Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that William was strangled to death, and the time of death may be last night." ”

"Is it a burglary?" Lu Weiwei hypothetical.

Gu Chen agreed: "It is very likely that I found signs of mess in the house, and it is estimated that the gangsters moved the family's belongings after strangling William." ”

When the words fell, Gu Chen was suddenly attracted by the many photos on the sofa in the living room, and the whole person couldn't help but be surprised: "This is ......"

"This is our wedding photo?" Lu Weiwei also found out about the situation, and hurriedly walked to the sofa in three or two steps, holding a bunch of photos in her hand.

"Mr. William didn't break his promise, he really prepared our pictures, he waited for us to pick them up, but ......"

Thinking of this, Lu Weiwei suddenly felt a little sad.

"Optimistic about William's corpse. After Gu Chen briefly explained, he said, "I have to go upstairs to have a look." ”

"Okay, you can rest assured, Senior Brother Gu, Anna and they are already on their way. Lu Weiwei said.

Gu Chen nodded and walked directly to the second floor.

More than ten minutes passed......

Anna drove the assault car with Mario, Fabio and Carmero, as well as Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha of the Chinese police team.

Everyone came to the scene and quickly opened a cordon on the periphery.

Officer Wang, Yuan Shasha and Anna, the three of them were the first to enter the room.

Seeing Lu Weiwei guarding William's side, Anna hurriedly asked, "What is William's situation?"

"William was strangled to death. Lu Weiwei stood up and hurriedly said, "Senior Brother Gu is now searching upstairs, just waiting for you to pass." ”

"Go check it out. Anna just wanted to turn around and go upstairs, but Gu Chen happened to go downstairs at this moment, and the two met in an instant.

"Gu Chen, I was about to look for you, what is the situation?" Anna asked.

"You don't have to look for it upstairs. Gu Chen walked up to William and said to everyone: "According to my preliminary judgment of the scene, this should be a burglary, because the cabinets upstairs have traces of being pried open, and they are turned into messy, and the preliminary judgment is that it is a robbery." ”

"It's so hateful, who would do such a cruel thing?" Anna gritted her teeth in anger, and the whole person couldn't help but look at Gu Chen, and asked, "Gu Chen, you and Lu Weiwei were the first to arrive at the scene, so have you noticed any suspicious people nearby?"

"The suspicious people didn't find it. Gu Chen lit two cigarette butts in front of Anna from his evidence bag: "But I found this at the scene." ”

"Cigarette butts?" Anna couldn't help but be stunned, and asked weakly, "Where did you find these?"

"One is on the steps outside the door, and the other is in the living room of the house, which may have something to do with the murderer. Gu Chen said.

Anna glanced at Mario who was coming behind her and said, "Mario, you can take it first." ”

"Okay. Mario happily took the cigarette butt from Gu Chen's hand.

But at this moment, Carmelo also walked in, and after hearing the conversation of several people, he snatched the cigarette butt from Mario's hand and said, "This is the evidence that Gu Chen collected from the scene?"

"That's right. Gu Chen walked directly in front of him and said.

Carmelo frowned, sneered and said: "Gu Chen, if I guessed correctly, entering the homes of the Italian people alone to investigate and search the case is not the task of your Chinese police at all, right?"

"You're right. Gu Chen had long known that someone would say this, so he defended himself: "First, I didn't come to Mr. William's house to handle the case, I came over to get our own things at the invitation of Mr. William. ”

"Second, when we found out that Mr. William's family was not in the right situation, I first asked Senior Sister Lu to contact you, also to wait for your team to come and deal with it. ”

"But time waits for no one, and if Mr. William is in danger at this moment, then we should and are obliged to help him. ”

"If I were ruled out as a Chinese police officer, I think anyone would rush in to find out what was going on. ”

Listening to Gu Chen's words, Carmelo also snorted coldly and said: "But in fact, your Chinese police did not wait for our Italian police team to arrive, and took the lead in entering the deceased's home, which is also a fact, which fully shows that your Chinese police are unprofessional and too arbitrary." ”

"I don't think you need to put such a hat on our Chinese police. Gu Chen did not deny the fact that he was the first to enter William's house, but if he slandered the Chinese police, Gu Chen was also unceremonious.

Gu Chen pointed to the law enforcement recorder on his chest and said: "Although we entered Mr. William's house first, before we entered Mr. William's house, we turned on the law enforcement recorder that we carried with us in strict accordance with the case handling standards of our Chinese police. ”

"Here's a record of everything we had before we entered William's house, including when I called Mr. William, and the bell said it was inside but no one answered. ”

"In addition, I want to say that I did not break into Mr. William's house, but took a detour to the back door of the house to find that the back door was not actually locked, which was recorded in the body camera. ”

Originally, I wanted to make a fuss about Gu Chen entering the homes of Italian citizens to investigate and search without permission, but after Gu Chen said this, it seems that the operation process is also very standardized.

As Gu Chen said, he and Lu Weiwei came to William's house for a break at noon, and they were invited to go and get their things.

If the identity of the Chinese police is excluded, it seems to be in the past.

Even other ordinary people, when they perceive William's danger, they will rush to find out the situation.

There is nothing wrong with that.

Moreover, Gu Chen was the first to call and communicate with the Italian police team, and he opened the law enforcement recorder and entered from behind the false door, and all the operations were in the law enforcement record.

Even if Carmelo wanted to find trouble with Gu Chen, all actions were recorded, and Gu Chen was only confirming the cause of William's death.

"Okay. Seeing Gu Chen's clever words, Carmelo took the evidence bag in his hand and said, "Then since you have collected two cigarette butts, then you can tell me, what is the significance of these two cigarette butts?"

"Camero, you've gone too far. Seeing that Carmelo intended to make things difficult for Gu Chen, Anna on the side stopped doing it, and directly retorted back: "Gu Chen helped us collect evidence in the early stage, we should thank others, why are you still making things more difficult?"

"Huh. Carmelo smiled coldly and said, "I just want to ask my Chinese counterparts here, isn't everyone here to handle cases?

"Hehe, why bother?" Listening to Camero's bastard words, Anna couldn't help but say: "But just now you were separated from each other with the Chinese police team, and now let the Chinese police team not care, aren't you contradicting yourself?"

'Carmelo I'm telling you, we're all partners and sometimes you don't overdo it. ”

"Am I going too far?" said Carmelo shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands with an innocent expression: "I'm just asking my Chinese counterparts for advice." ”

"You ......"

"Forget it. ”

Just before Anna's words fell, Gu Chen directly interrupted the argument between the two and said, "Officer Carmelo just wants to know if some problems can be found from these two cigarette butts, which is understandable. ”

"I can also tell you very clearly that I can really tell you something from these two cigarette butts. ”

"You ......"

Before Carmelo could speak, Gu Chen snatched the cigarette butt from his hand, pinched the corner of the transparent forensic bag and said: "These two cigarette butts are of the same brand, and according to what we learned about Mr. William yesterday, we can basically rule out the possibility of Mr. William smoking." ”

"Hmm. Anna, who was standing on the side, nodded slightly and said, "I can testify to this, I did not find Mr. William's habit of smoking at the exhibition site yesterday." ”

Glancing at the logo on the cigarette butt, Anna said: "And judging from the logo on these two cigarette butts, it should be a low-end cigarette." ”

"But even if Mr. William could smoke, he would not be able to smoke such a low-end brand. ”

"That's right. Gu Chen also agreed very much: "I didn't know much about Italian cigarette brands before, but after what Officer Anna said just now, I can now be completely sure that the person who smokes this kind of cigarette must not be Mr. William." ”

"Who could that be if it's not William?" Cameron searched for the root and continued to throw the question to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen was silent for two seconds, and then said: "Now that I know that Mr. William doesn't smoke, there is a high probability that this cigarette butt was left by criminals." ”

"And I speculate that this criminal must have knocked on the door of William's house for some reason. ”

"After entering the house, I talked to Mr. William while smoking, waiting for an opportunity to commit a crime, and this is a low-end cigarette, obviously the person is not rich, and there is a great possibility of making money. ”

Camero listened to Gu Chen's words, and his face was also unremitting.

However, Gu Chen ignored him at all, but continued to express his speculation: "The cigarette butt is very short and soaked in saliva, from this point of view, it can be used for identification, from the saliva, there is actually a high probability that the bleeding type can be identified, which can be used as a reference for personnel investigation." ”

In addition, William's mobile phone is here, and he can immediately check the last few people who contacted him, and determine who had been in contact with Mr. William last night. ”

"You can leave this to me. Anna listened to Gu Chen's words, and also said with certainty: "Mario will solve everything, if we know who did it, we will definitely not let them go." ”
