Wu Qian also received a call from Yao Xin's mother, hurried to the scene, and arrived almost front and back with Officer Wang.

But when Yao Xin's family was sitting at the door, everyone suddenly knew that Yao Xin's family was not lying.

Gu Chen hurriedly squatted in front of Yao Xin's father and asked, "Where is Yao Xin? ”

"In the basement. Yao Xin's father was blank at the moment, and after slowly standing up, he walked up the steps by himself, and then turned around and said lightly: "Officer Gu, come with me." ”

is different from Yao Xin's father I saw yesterday, if yesterday's Yao Xin's father fell from heaven to the abyss, then today is obviously falling into hell.

Not only is the gaze unfocused, but even the body is devoid of spirit.

Gu Chen looked at Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei beside him, and after the two looked at each other, they also followed Gu Chen inside.

And Wu Qian sat next to Yao Xin's mother for a short period of comfort, and then followed everyone into Yao Xin's house.

On the sofa in the living room, Yao Xin's body was wrapped in a red carpet, and Yao Xin's father directly gave up a position and said, "According to your requirements, I didn't destroy the scene too much." ”

"How was Yao Xin discovered?" Gu Chen asked.

"Early this morning, I was going to the basement to get something, but I accidentally found Yao Xin dead inside, so I called you. After Yao Xin's father finished speaking, he endured his grief and wiped his tears.

Gu Chen directly put on a pair of white gloves, came to the sofa, and carefully unveiled the red carpet.

At this moment, Yao Xin was lying there disheveled.

Lu Weiwei frowned slightly, and hurriedly came to Yao Xin's side to help Gu Chen check together.

"There are strangulation marks on the neck. Lu Weiwei immediately found a clue.

Gu Chen nodded: "Indeed." ”

"Could it be suffocation?" Officer Wang frowned, a little incredulous, "Who would do this to a little girl?

Wu Qian's whole person was so frightened that she sat on the ground: "This ...... This is impossible, how is this possible? How could Yao Xin be strangled? It's not true, it's not. ”

"Sister Wu. Seeing that Wu Qian was a little emotional, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but comfort her.

After all, Yao Xin was popular with Wu Qian, and now she was suddenly strangled to death by cruel means, which is unacceptable to anyone.

"Yao Xin was still alive a few days ago, but now how can he ...... It's not fair, she's supposed to be so popular, oh my God, why is it so cruel?"

Wu Qian's emotions were broken at the moment.

Forced by Yao Xin's parents, Wu Qian's emotions came a little late, but Yao Xin was undoubtedly like an adopted daughter to her.

At this moment, Officer Wang also turned around, came to Wu Qian's side, squatted down and patted her on the shoulder, and said: "Wu Qian, don't be sad, people can't be resurrected after death, what we have to do now is to arrest the real culprit and find justice for Yao Xin." ”

"That's right. Lu Weiwei was also indignant.

The cute child model I just met a few days ago disappeared in a blink of an eye, and Lu Weiwei was not in a good mood.

And in the mobile phone circle of friends, Lu Weiwei also uploaded a photo of her and Yao Xin, and many girlfriends and friends liked and commented at that time, saying that the little girl was so cute.

But now this little girl seems to be able to exist forever in the circle of friends.

"What is this?" While everyone was comforting each other, Gu Chen found traces of being hit with a blunt object in Yao Xin's messy long hair.

"Senior Brother Gu. Lu Weiwei hurriedly looked at him and hurriedly asked, "Did you find something?"

"That's right. Gu Chen gently brushed away Yao Xin's long hair, and found that the wound on Yao Xin's head was not small, and said directly: "Yao Xin has been hit on the head before, and judging from the wound, it seems to be quite serious." ”

Touching the traces on the side of Yao Xin's mouth, Gu Chen said again: "Also, Yao Xin may have been sealed with duct tape, and there is obvious stickiness around the corners of his mouth." ”

"That's right, Yao Xin was taped. Yao Xin's father immediately stood up, took the cut tape from the corner of the sofa, and said, "This is the tape that was stuck to Yao Xin's mouth when I found Yao Xin, and I cut it." ”

was also afraid that Gu Chen would blame, so his father immediately said: "I know that I shouldn't destroy the scene, but seeing my daughter like this, I feel uncomfortable." ”

"It doesn't matter. Gu Chen also patted Yao Xin's father on the shoulder and comforted: "As long as we haven't been touched by too many people, we can find clues through fingerprints, but it's ......."

Gu Chen looked at the fingerprint marks on the tape, and said with some doubts: "But judging from the fingerprint marks on this tape, it seems that there are only ...... Alone?"

Yao Xin's father knew that he was talking about himself, and hurriedly said: "But from the time I found Yao Xin to the time I used scissors to help Yao Xin cut the tape, no one else touched it." ”

"Mr. Yao, don't worry, I didn't say that the murderer was you. Gu Chen was also afraid that Yao Xin's father would think too much, so he pointed to the fingerprints on the tape and said, "From the distribution of fingerprints, it can be seen that there are only a few fingerprints of yours." ”

"But if you want to seal Yao Xin's mouth, I don't think it is possible to have only these few fingerprints. ”

Lu Weiwei immediately answered: "That means that the murderer is likely to be committing the murder with gloves on?"

"It's very likely. Officer Wang also came over and said, "Do you think, even the kidnapping letter kidnappers have to make drafts, it can be seen that this is a thoughtful person, such a person, would he be stupid enough to use his clean hands to hold the tape?"

"And tape is the easiest thing to stick fingerprints, unless the kidnappers are really dead, it is absolutely impossible. ”

Therefore, there are only a small number of fingerprints of Yao Xin's father on the tape, which shows that the kidnappers did wear gloves before, so they did not leave their fingerprints on the tape. Lu Weiwei said.

"That's right. Gu Chen also basically agreed with this statement.

But looking at the strangulation marks on Yao Xin's neck, as well as the wound on his head, and the traces of tape on his mouth, Gu Chen suddenly had some doubts.

Yao Xin's head was hit hard with a blunt object, but he was strangled to death, which shows the cruelty of the murderer's methods, but ...... Why did you do this to a little girl?" Gu Chen looked at Yao Xin's father and asked, "Have you ever offended anyone before, such as economic disputes or something?" ”

"Nope. Yao Xin's father shook his head, then thought about it for a few seconds, and then confirmed: "It's true, our family is honest." ”

"Although our daughter Yao Xin is a big celebrity, we have always been very low-key in our conduct and work, and we have never offended anyone. ”

"I can testify to that. Yao Xin's agent Wu Qian also raised her hand and said: "Yao Xin's parents are very low-key, I haven't seen them offend anyone." ”

"Since he didn't offend anyone, then who would do this to Yao Xin? Is it random?" Gu Chen clasped his hands to his chest, held his chin with his right hand and thought for a moment, and then continued to open the red blanket.

At this moment, Yao Xin's messy clothes make people can't bear to look at them directly, obviously they have been torn before their death.

If Yao Xin's neck was strangled with a rope, what about his head?

Gu Chen glanced at Yao Xin's father, and asked again, "You found Yao Xin's basement, can you take me over to have a look?"

"Yes. Yao Xin's father didn't think much about it, and directly led Gu Chen forward.

Since the villas in the western suburbs are some old villas, structurally speaking, there is still a big gap compared with the current villas.

In the basement of Yao Xin's villa, there is a staircase down.

Hesitant to put up tiles, this place looks like an ordinary utility room.

Lu Weiwei looked around and hurriedly asked, "Why didn't you mention this basement last time?"

"yes. Officer Wang also stretched out his head to look inside the basement and said with some doubts: "The structure is not very reasonable, but I really didn't inspect this place last time." ”

"It was my negligence. Yao Xin's father also said directly: "I looked at the basement at the time, but I didn't find any trace of Yao Xin, so I didn't take you there." ”

"That's right. Lu Weiwei also affirmed: "After all, who would have thought that the kidnappers would kidnap Yao Xin in the basement of their house? Also, after your daughter was killed, the kidnappers were afraid that the matter would be revealed, so they deliberately created a kidnapping case." ”

Lu Weiwei looked at Gu Chen and asked again: "Senior Brother Gu, do you think the kidnappers were panicking after killing someone, so they temporarily remembered to write a kidnapping letter as a trick." ”

"But because I don't have experience in writing kidnapping letters, I drafted them, what do you think?"

Gu Chen nodded and said, "What Senior Sister Lu said is very reasonable, maybe the kidnapper's real intention is not to kidnap, or maybe Yao Xin's death is also an accident, so the kidnappers want to create the illusion that Yao Xin was kidnapped in order to confuse our investigation." ”

If that's the case, then the draft kidnapping letter is over. ”

"What is the kidnapper's intention? My family doesn't seem to have lost anything?" said Yao Xin's father.

Gu Chen couldn't care too much, so he could only say first: "You let us search the scene first." ”

"Okay. Seeing Gu Chen's insistence, Yao Xin's father could only agree, and took the initiative to walk to a small room and said: "Yao Xin was found here, I was startled at the time, and I thought it was something that fell to the ground, but when I turned on the light, it turned out to be Yao Xin." ”

While Yao Xin's father was explaining, Gu Chen found that there were traces of being smashed on the glass window of the small room in the basement, and immediately walked over to check.

"Senior Brother Gu. Lu Weiwei found some big footprints on the ground and hurriedly said: "These footprints by the window have mud marks, like military boots." ”

"That's right, military boots. After careful confirmation, Officer Wang also got the same answer.

Gu Chen frowned, and hurriedly asked Yao Xin's father, "Does anyone in your family wear military boots?"

"Nope. Yao Xin's father denied it very simply, and said: "In our family, I only have leather shoes and sneakers, and military boots used to be worn, but they were all a long time ago, and they were also broken and thrown away, and now there are no military boots at home." ”

"That's what the murderer left behind. Gu Chen squatted down, took out a small tape measure, measured the foreign footprints, and then came to his own conclusion.

"The murderer should be wearing size 45 shoes, which should be quite big. Glancing at Yao Xin's father, Gu Chen asked him, "Mr. Yao wears multi-size shoes?"

"I wear 42. Yao Xin's father said.

Lu Weiwei glanced at Yao Xin's father, and then made an inference: "If it is a murderer wearing size 45 shoes, it means that he is really a big man." ”

"That's right. Yao Xin's father also agreed: "I am 177 tall and wear size 42 shoes, and the murderer wears 45 shoes, so he must be at least 180 years tall, right?"

"Not necessarily. Gu Chen directly denied Yao Xin's father's statement, and said: "What you see may not be the truth, although the size of the shoes is indeed 45 sizes, but you see." ”

Gu Chen pointed to the imprint.

Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang immediately squatted down and looked at it.

Wu Qian, who had been silent behind her, also asked anxiously at this moment, "Is there something wrong with the shoe prints?"

"There's a big problem. Gu Chen raised his head and said, "Judging from the depth of the footprints, it seems that this person's weight is not particularly heavy, and you look at this window." ”

"Windows?" Wu Qian was a little suspicious, and hurriedly asked Gu Chen, "What's wrong with the window?"

"The extent of broken glass. Gu Chen said directly: "The lock bolt of this window is here, originally the kidnapper only needed to break a small piece of glass, and he could reach out to open the bolt, but no, he broke it all." ”

"What does it mean that not only did he not open the bolt after the smash, but he crawled in directly through the broken part?"

"Could it be...... The kidnappers are very thin?" Wu Qian asked.

"Not necessarily. Gu Chen waved his hand directly, then pointed to the broken glass window and asked, "What did you see from here?"

"Spider ...... Spiders?, and spider webs?" Wu Qian asked weakly, and then asked herself: "But these spider webs can be woven after the glass is broken, is there any problem?"

"Of course the spiders are fine, there is a small triangular spider web in the window where the intruder should have broken into, which is intact and seems to have been undisturbed, which does not say much, but there is a problem with the glass. Gu Chen saw that Wu Qian was not observing carefully, so he had to guide him personally.

He pointed his finger at the corners of broken glass one by one and asked, "What is this?"

"Broken glass?" Wu Qian looked at the broken window, there was still a crumbling piece of glass that did not fall, and the blunt color wash fell into confusion.

Lu Weiwei smiled and said, "Senior Brother Gu, I know, you want to tell us that the murderer may not have entered and exited from the broken window at all." ”

"Because going in and out of the broken window will inevitably hang this crumbling shard of glass, and then the kidnappers will not. ”

"So there's a possibility that the kidnappers entered the villa from somewhere else and then broke the glass. ”

"To create the illusion that the windows were smashed from the outside, to confuse our police investigation, to make us mistakenly believe that the murderer most likely climbed into the villa from outside the basement window, am I right?"

Lu Weiwei explained clearly......

After following Gu Chen to handle the case for a long time, he can deduce some amazing truths from small clues.

Gu Chen smiled: "That's what it means." ”

Officer Wang also suddenly realized: "It seems that this murderer is not simple, since he will use broken glass to create an illusion, then the footprints of this military boot must not be used as an absolute basis." ”

Yao Xin's father panicked: "Officer Gu, according to your reasoning, where did the murderer enter my house?"

"There's only one possibility. Gu Chen looked outside the door and said, "That is to enter through the main entrance, but in order to avoid suspicion, the murderer deliberately created the illusion of entering through the basement." ”

Looking at the traces of the scene, Gu Chen was also amazed: "He did a very good job, the scene was perfect in all aspects, but there were some minor problems that were not discovered in time." ”

"Like this crumbling shard of glass. Gu Chen first recorded with a law enforcement recorder, and then flicked it with his fingers, and the glass fragments fell instantly.

"You see, as long as there is contact with the body, this glass shard will never hang for so long without falling, and this. Gu Chen pointed to the iron bolt of the glass window again, and said, "Obviously, you can break a small piece of glass and pull out the iron bolt, but the murderer didn't do it." ”

"Not only did he not, but when he took out the villa, he didn't even think about pulling out the iron bolt, which means that the murderer must have escaped from the main entrance of the villa, and there was no escape from the glass window of the small room in the basement. ”

"If someone does break in from here, then this piece of glass should be destroyed, along with that cobweb. ”

"It's too cunning. Wu Qian was also indignant, but when she suddenly moved her steps, she encountered a long object, which immediately attracted Gu Chen's attention.

"What is this?" Gu Chen hurriedly walked over and squatted down to pick up the object.

"It's a flashlight. Wu Qian said.

Gu Chen suddenly found that there were some blood stains on the corners of the flashlight, and it was obviously a little uneven, and the trap was left after being hit hard.

Gu Chen suddenly thought of something, he hurriedly walked out of the basement and came to Yao Xin on the sofa in the living room.

Seeing this, other people who didn't know why also followed Gu Chen.

"Senior Brother Gu. Lu Weiwei called him.

Seeing that Gu Chen was comparing Yao Xin's head wound with the corner of the flashlight, Lu Weiwei didn't continue to bother.

According to the forensic manual lent to him by Forensic Doctor Liu before, Gu Chen operated according to the above process, and after comparing Yao Xin's wounds one by one, he suddenly exclaimed: "That's right, the flashlight is a blunt instrument that hit Yao Xin's head, and the mutilated parts of the flashlight and the remaining blood stains are very consistent with the location of the wound on Yao Xin's head." ”

"The murder weapon is a flashlight?" Wu Qian was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Can ...... But what happened to the strangulation marks on Yao Xin's neck? Wasn't she strangled to death?"

"It is possible that he was severely injured by a blunt object blow to the head, and then strangled to death by the killer with a rope. Seeing that Wu Qian was overly surprised, Officer Wang hurriedly explained to her.

After all, in all these years of experience in handling cases, Officer Wang still has a certain amount of insight.

Seeing that his former ex-girlfriend was not easy at the moment, he also wanted to comfort him a few more words and show his own masculinity.

But the atmosphere at the scene did not allow it at all.

......
