"Gu Chen, do you really think that the corpse is not Paul?" Anna was puzzled, why Gu Chen wanted to be more serious with herself on the corpse.

In her opinion, the fingerprint clues are already very clear, so why do you need to do more?

Gu Chen nodded and smiled, "Don't you think that charred corpse is a little weird?"

"What do you mean ......"

"The size of the corpse. Gu Chen reminded.

With specialized-level observation, Gu Chen can achieve a height that ordinary people can't achieve in terms of detailed observation.

Previously, after Gu Chen made a brief observation of the corpse, he had already recorded the various characteristics of the corpse.

At least Gu Chen at that time, his impression of Paul could only stay on the written information of the Luocheng police.

But after communicating with Simon, Gu Chen at least had a more comprehensive understanding of Paul's understanding.

"Paul is 185 tall and weighs more than 90 kilograms, but the body we found today, although unrecognizable, I visually measured that it was no more than 180 tall, and the weight was far from 90 kilograms. ”

"In terms of size alone, charred corpses are much thinner, especially with exposed ribs, which is a trait of hunger. ”

"To be reasonable, I think the deceased should have been a starving man, not Paul. ”

Because Paul had just received a sum of money from Simon two days earlier, and it was enough money for him to be dashing and hungry for the next few days. ”

"Are you sure?" Anna became more and more confused the more she listened, but when Gu Chen said this, she was puzzled.

Gu Chen directly took out his mobile phone and showed several details he had photographed in front of Anna.

"You even filmed this?" Anna was also shocked.

Before, he only found Gu Chen squatting down to observe the corpse, and it took a while.

Unexpectedly, although the time was short, Gu Chen had already photographed several important features of the corpse with his mobile phone.

In the data book of the corpse at the scene before, Anna saw several close-ups from different angles, but what Gu Chen photographed was a few subtle details.

From this point of view, the gap between Gu Chen and his colleagues can be seen at this moment.

"What is the height of the corpse at the scene?" Anna quickly turned to ask George.

"Big ...... Probably, probably ......" George was also stunned, he quickly took out his briefcase, took the test report in his hand, and then said: "About 178, measured with a ruler on the spot." ”

"That's not right. Gu Chen shook his head and said, "Simon is 185 tall, when he told me about it at the time, I once deliberately asked on the side that Paul's height was the same as his, and the two of them spoke almost at eye level. ”

And Paul was strong, even with a threatening tone when he learned about Simon's relationship with Lisa. ”

In this sense, the charred corpse is somewhat different from Paul's actual situation. ”

Listening to Gu Chen's words, everyone at the scene was stunned.

The corpse is not Paul?

The forensic doctor has not yet come out with the results, but Gu Chen has come out first.

Lu Weiwei was also very frightened, and hurriedly asked: "Senior Brother Gu, according to what you said, then Paul is missing at most, and the person who was really burned to death may be someone else?"

"Probably the murderer was Paul. Officer Wang quickly interjected.

Gu Chen was silent for a moment and did not answer everyone's questions immediately.

Anna was already feeling the gravity of the problem at this moment.

She looked at Gu Chen and seemed to realize that the direction she had investigated before was completely wrong.

But the search for Paul seems to be unanimous.

After all, the fingerprints on the bicycle at the scene were Paul's, and everyone also found the key to the room of the Rose Hotel nearby.

After checking the guest room, Paul's fingerprints were indeed found.

If the deceased was not Paul, then at least it had something to do with Paul.

"Gu ...... Gu Chen. Anna was also panicked at the moment, feeling that she had no clue, so she asked Gu Chen for advice: "If it were you, what would happen to you next?"

"If it's me?" Gu Chen suddenly stood up, and after walking back and forth twice, he suddenly said to Uncle Sam, "Uncle Sam, I have a request. ”

"You...... You said. Uncle Sam suddenly realized that he might also be involved in this case and became a participant, so he asked weakly.

"Help me keep an eye out for missing people in the vicinity, just for the past two days. Gu Chen said.

"That's it?" Uncle Sam took a deep breath and smiled indifferently, "No problem, I'll help you keep an eye on it." ”

Originally, I thought it was a big deal, but you know, Sam is in charge of this area, and all kinds of information converge here, and Sam Yanran has become a medium for information circulation.

It was not difficult for him to inquire about this kind of news, so he gladly accepted it.

But suddenly he remembered something, and the whole person was stunned on the spot, as if he was recalling something.

"What's wrong?" Gu Chen frowned, bowed down and asked, "Uncle Sam, do you remember something?"

"Yes. Uncle Sam nodded, and suddenly said, "When I heard you say this just now, I suddenly remembered a person, indeed, who seemed to be a little similar to the corpse you said. ”

"What...... What?" Officer George was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked, "Uncle Sam, can you make it clearer?"

"It's a beggar, yes, yes, it's him. Uncle Sam was suddenly stunned, he quickly stood up straight, his whole face was stunned, and he felt extremely frightened by careful thought.

Gu Chen and Anna looked at each other, and seemed to feel a chill from Uncle Sam.

"There is indeed a beggar in our area, similar in height and size to the man you just mentioned, who often wanders around the neighborhood park alone. “

"Because of his thin stature, we all called him a monkey, and when there was anything to do, we would bring some food from home to feed him. “

"That's not right. Officer George said with questions, "Uncle Sam, we have a relief station here, and if there is a beggar, we should send him there." ”

"No, no, no. Uncle Sam interrupted: "He's an unknown person, some say he's a refugee, some say he's crazy, but no one knows who he really is." ”

"I also heard from a friend that this monkey escaped from a mental hospital, and he was an orphan himself, and he had been wandering around the neighborhoods of Luocheng, and only began to appear in our area at the beginning of the year. ”

"Later, I got to know the residents of our side, but the monkey didn't talk much, he was stupid, he looked very abnormal, and people often bullied him. ”

"Where is his range of activities?" Gu Chen opened the map of his mobile phone and handed it to Uncle Sam.

"Here. Uncle Sam zoomed out the map and circled an area on the map: "That's it, he usually moves around this area, and basically doesn't go far." ”

"But today is very strange, I started cleaning the streets of the community in the morning, and there is no trace of monkeys. ”

Strange to say, he would always appear under the big tree in the community park every morning, because everyone would hang the breakfast they bought on that big tree, which is the custom. ”

"For

It's convenient for the monkeys to come here to eat, but today is very strange, not long ago, I passed by the big tree in the park, but found that this morning's food was still hanging there, I was still very wondering, I thought to myself, where did the monkeys go?"

"That's him. Before Uncle Sam could continue, Gu Chen couldn't wait.

He hurriedly put his hands on Uncle Sam's shoulders and said solemnly: "Uncle Sam, we need your help now, can you take us to this monkey?"

"Yes. Anna also hastened to plead: "You will take us over the range of activities of that beggar monkey, especially the places where it often appears." ”

Seeing that everyone couldn't wait, it seemed to confirm Uncle Sam's anxiety.

His expression was serious, and after a few seconds of contemplation, he did not speak, but walked to the door to change his shoes.

It wasn't until Uncle Sam reached the garden gate that he waved his hand and walked out of the garden on his own.

Everyone is not idle.

It feels like this case is peeling back the cracks.

It seems to be moving towards the truth step by step.

A group of people began to search around the community park, including several places where Uncle Sam had been introduced, and which were frequented by beggars.

After a lap, Uncle Sam was a little tired, and his throat was a little hoarse.

Everyone came to a dilapidated building, and then stopped for a short rest.

This is where beggars and monkeys often hide from the rain, it used to be an elementary school, but now it is abandoned, and there are some small animals such as wild cats and dogs, which will use this place as a foothold. ”

Seeing the lightning and thunder in the sky, which was about to be the prelude to the rain, Officer George laughed at himself: "It seems that now, we all have to use this as a shelter from the rain like beggars." ”

"Let's go in and have a look. Gu Chen didn't care too much, and took the lead in walking into the ruins.

"Senior Brother Gu wait for me. Lu Weiwei followed closely behind, trotting all the way to keep up with the rhythm.

After the others looked at each other, they also walked into the abandonment.

"Boom!" After a flash of lightning, there was a sudden thunder rolling.

The surrounding grass and trees also began to squirm.

Many stray animals have also returned to their cages from all corners one after another.

But seeing many humans at this time, many wild cats stopped, and after hesitating repeatedly, they chose to rain on the dilapidated fence opposite Gu Chen and the others.

It didn't take long for the rain to pour down.

An unusually loud noise rang out around the entire ruins.

The rain hits all over the corner, making different movements.

"This is where beggars and monkeys live?" Yuan Shasha clasped her hands on her chest and walked back and forth in a corner, and couldn't help but be amazed: "Not to mention, it's quite chic here, I didn't expect there to be so many small animals." ”

"Maybe it's because beggars often bring food back and share it with these stray animals, so there are more and more stray animals here. ”

Uncle Sam sneezed, rubbed his nose, and said, "There weren't so many animals here before, and they all started to increase gradually after the beggars came. ”

"Sometimes I even laugh at him, saying that he is running an animal shelter and feeding the cats and dogs with the food that everyone gives him. ”

"Otherwise, the food we give him every day would be enough to fatten him. ”

While everyone was teasing each other, Lu Weiwei suddenly found that Gu Chen was missing.

She quickly stood up, and after searching left and right, she said loudly, "Senior Brother Gu, where are you?"

"I'm here. ”

In a corner not far away, Gu Chen's response suddenly came.

"Oh my God, why did you run there?" I was hiding from the rain and watching the cat just now, but I didn't notice Gu Chen's departure.

Lu Weiwei pulled Yuan Shasha and said, "Xiao Yuan, let's go over and have a look." ”

"Good. Yuan Shasha lowered her head, and the two dodged the ruins and obstacles left and right, and walked together to forget about the depths of the old building.

After a burst of calls left and right, he finally found Gu Chen according to the far-reaching.

At this time, Gu Chen was quietly squatting in an extremely narrow basement, using the tools in his hand to collect the objects on the scene.

"What are you doing?" Lu Weiwei was curious, squatted down, and approached Gu Chen curiously.

"I found some fresh blood. Gu Chen, who was wearing white gloves, moistened the bright red on the wall with water, then stained the blood with a napkin, and put it into a transparent forensic tape.

"You even brought out all this equipment?" Looking at what Gu Chen took out of the equipment, Yuan Shasha was also speechless.

It stands to reason that when everyone comes to Luocheng, Italy, the main task is to patrol jointly.

But Gu Chen brought almost all the things he handled in Jiangnan City.

Lu Weiwei grinned and hurriedly asked, "Why is there so much blood here?"

"It's because I've experienced a fight. After collecting the blood sample, Gu Chen directly took out his mobile phone and took photos on several walls again for evidence.

Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha were curious and carefully observed the state of the wall according to Gu Chen's photo tips.

Both of them were shocked to find that there were multiple traces of heavy blows at the scene.

"What's going on?" Lu Weiwei couldn't help but feel a chill.

Compared with the indifference just now, the current Lu Weiwei found out that the scene was extremely frightened from Gu Chen's calm expression.

"Gu ...... Senior Brother Gu, is it ...... Could it be that this is the scene where the beggar monkey was killed?"

Gu Chen suddenly stopped moving, hesitated for a moment, he turned his head to look at Lu Weiwei and said, "Judging from the traces left at the scene so far, I can conclude that the level of brutality of the fight here is not ordinary cruelty. ”

"Gu Chen. At the same time as Gu Chen spoke, Anna, Officer Wang, Officer George and Uncle Sam also appeared not far away.

Anna Diendale frowned slightly, full of urgency.

The first one stepped forward and asked, "How did you find this place?"

"Footprints. Gu Chen did not shy away from pointing to Anna's right side and said, "Entering here from the outside, someone has already walked out of a deep imprint, and I found this place based on the footprints." ”

"I see?" Anna nodded silently, looked around the left and asked, "Is this where beggars live?"

"It should be. Gu Chen continued to lower his head and aimed the camera angle of his mobile phone at Lu Weiwei's right.

Lu Weiwei's footsteps moved, and she just wanted to change her posture, but was suddenly stopped by Gu Chen.

"Senior Sister Lu, you'd better not move around randomly, you almost ruined an important clue. Gu Chen said.

"What?" Lu Weiwei was inexplicable, and after looking left and right, she smiled and said, "You mean this footprint around me?"

"Yes. Gu Chen gently dialed Lu Weiwei behind him, and then used his mobile phone to take a picture of a footprint.

Officer Wang took a few steps forward and discovered the mystery, and couldn't help but smile and said, "This footprint is not a beggar's. ”

"That's right. Gu Chen, who had finished filming on the spot, stood up and said: "Judging from the completeness of the footprints, this should be a brand new pair of leather shoes, because there is no wear on the heel, and the lines are very clear." ”

Walking to another angle, Gu Chen picked up a wooden stick around him and used it as a whip and said, "You see, the center of the outsole is an eagle totem, which is clearly visible, compared to these damaged footprints around it, it is simply a world of difference. ”

"Really. According to Gu Chen's prompt, after Lu Weiwei compared, the whole person smiled and said: "These old footprints, the sole lines of the shoes are damaged, they should be beggars." ”

Turning her head to look at the other side, Lu Weiwei frowned slightly, and said: "And this footprint is a new pair of leather shoes, indicating that it is another person, but how can there be another person in this kind of place?"

"That's right. Yuan Shasha also agreed: "This place is cramped, it is usually difficult to walk into a person, and the smell is very strong, who is here if normal people are fine?"

"That's right. Gu Chen smiled indifferently and said, "Of course, there must be a purpose for coming here, because it was here that the murderer killed a poor beggar." ”

"What...... What?" Uncle Sam was suddenly startled, and the whole person couldn't help but say, "You say, the beggar monkey was killed?"

"That's right. Seeing that Uncle Sam was suspicious for a while, Gu Chen simply pulled out the clues he had investigated.

"I just found this place by roadside footprints and found that it was once inhabited because the beds were there. ”

Gu Chen pointed to a small nest of hay and rags beside him.

"I didn't ...... That's right, it's indeed inhabitable. Lu Weiwei on the side affirmed.

"But that's not the point, here it is. Gu Chen pointed his wooden stick at the wall in multiple blood stains, as well as some marks left by the heavy blows.

Anna and Officer George looked at each other, and the two quickly took out their flashlights and searched in the direction that Gu Chen had pointed out just now.

"That's right, the bloodstains are new. Officer George frowned, continued to look at the next location, and couldn't help but feel a chill: "Can ...... But here, how can this place be hit hard?"

"Officer George, I can show you this. "The concerns have been simulated using specialized-level observation and expert-level judgment.

He first found a hard brick nearby, then came to the same place, pointed to the nest and said, "I now suppose that the beggar sleeps here, and I am facing the beggar's direction." ”

"However, there is a problem, the area is very narrow, and it will be difficult to use it if you do it, so this is all the way around. ”

Gu Chen took the brick and began to simulate the deduction.

Just after completing the first action, everyone suddenly realized.

......
