888. Objective witnesses who are exonerated of the charge

Officer Wang was stunned, feeling that Gu Chen must be crazy.

But looking back, it seems that there is some truth again.

The old man has become a murderer? You can't talk nonsense, but how can you explain that the headless body of Principal Gao was found in Uncle Qin's room?

And it was so bold that people sent Principal Gao's head back to the bungalow, which seemed to have some arrogance in it.

After all, the police car was parked outside the yard, could it be that the murderer was blind?

Apparently not.

The murderer not only knew that the police lived in the bungalow, but also wanted to commit the crime under the nose of the police.

In Gu Chen's view, these are no longer as simple as homicides, but serious provocations to the police.

"Could it really be that Uncle Qin did it?" Lu Weiwei frowned slightly, feeling that things were not so simple.

Gu Chen stood at the door and looked around for a week, then said: "Murder can be committed under our noses skillfully, it is certain that he should be very familiar with the surrounding environment and know how to use the surrounding noise to interfere with our hearing. ”

"That's right. Hearing Gu Chen say this, Lu Weiwei immediately nodded and said, "There are insects everywhere around, and it feels very noisy." ”

In this way, the murderer can use the interference of these noises to carry out his plan. ”

After thinking about it, Lu Weiwei looked at Gu Chen with a puzzled expression: "But Senior Brother Gu, I still don't understand a little." ”

"You say. Gu Chen looked up at Lu Weiwei.

Lu Weiwei thought for a moment, and then said, "How did this Principal Gao die in Uncle Qin's house?"

"That's right. Yuan Shasha, who had already vomited up dinner, returned to her bleeding state, and also walked over with a haggard face and asked, "Senior Brother Gu, this high school principal doesn't live here at all, but how can he appear here?"

"And why didn't there be any movement at all when he appeared? It stands to reason that we could hear the movement at all?"

"Well, your question is very constructive. Gu Chen very much agreed with Yuan Shasha's question, which was exactly what he was about to say.

After glancing at everyone, Gu Chen said again: "The only possible situation is that Principal Gao quietly came here at night, and then entered Uncle Qin's room, and the reason may be that Uncle Qin contacted him and made a special trip to let him come over." ”

This can also explain why Principal Gao's body appeared in Uncle Qin's room, and judging from the corpse, it was still not long after the crime. ”

"No...... Wouldn't it? Principal Gao secretly came to Lao Qin's room?"

The hunchbacked Uncle Liu was a little confused, or rather, he didn't understand Gu Chen's statement very well.

Of course, these are Gu Chen's temporary speculations, and how to deal with them still needs to be said by someone who has a close relationship with Uncle Qin.

So Gu Chen set his sights on Uncle Liu.

"Uncle Liu. Gu Chen squatted beside him and asked him softly, "What is the relationship between Uncle Qin and Principal Gao?"

"Relationship?" Uncle Liu was stunned for a moment, and said weakly: "Relationship, usually the relationship seems to be average, and the two rarely dealt with each other before." ”

"Shouldn't it?" Gu Chen frowned slightly, and said thoughtfully: "If the relationship between the two is shallow, then the conditions for Principal Gao to come to Uncle Qin's room don't seem to be very valid." ”

"Wait. ”

Before Gu Chen could finish his words to himself, Uncle Liu, who was sitting on the ground, seemed to think of something again.

He hurriedly looked at Gu Chen and said with a frightened expression: "Officer Gu, when you say this, you have reminded me, this old Qin and Principal Gao seem to have been in frequent contact in the past few days, but it is only in the last few days." ”

"Where did you find it?" Gu Chen asked him.

"In ...... Here, and ...... Rest home. Uncle Liu seemed to think more and more clearly, looked up at Gu Chen directly, and said:

"Anyway, it's been a bit dense these days, I said in my heart that this old Qin didn't seem to have much communication with this senior principal before, right? But recently, these two people don't know what's going on? ”

"Did you hear what they said?" asked Lou Weiwei.

After thinking for a few seconds, Uncle Liu shook his head: "I don't know." ”

"Harm. Lu Weiwei sighed, and said in a firm tone: "I think there must be something wrong with these two people, I still believe in Senior Brother Gu's judgment, it must be Principal Gao and Uncle Qin who discussed it and ran to his room alone in the middle of the night." ”

After thinking about it, Lu Weiwei was stunned: "Eh? It's not right, two big men, what are you going to do in the room secretly? Uncle Qin is 72 years old, and Principal Gao has to be in his 50s, right? Why did he run to Uncle Qin's room?"

In Lu Weiwei's opinion, it seems difficult to speculate with logical thinking what the two are doing in the room.

But when she searched the room just now, Lu Weiwei also checked the movement in the room with the help of the light, and there was no sign of a fight.

If there was no fight, would Principal Gao have been killed by a 72-year-old man?

Glancing at Gu Chen secretly, Lu Weiwei had some self-doubts, not knowing whether Gu Chen's speculation was correct or not.

"Senior Sister Lu, don't you believe that Uncle Qin is the murderer?"

Gu Chen just glanced at Lu Weiwei, and he could find her inner thoughts from Lu Weiwei's expression, because they were all on her face.

Lu Weiwei nodded, and couldn't help but say: "Although I am a little suspicious, after all, if according to your assumption, Uncle Qin is the murderer, then these suspicions can be ruled out." ”

"But the objective conditions are still a little flawed, that is, if Principal Gao wants to secretly go to Uncle Qin's room, then he doesn't need to knock on the wooden door of the courtyard, right?

"That's right. Officer Wang also remembered the first movement in the courtyard, and couldn't help but say: "The first movement in the courtyard is a bit obvious, so you also heard it?"

"Who can't hear such a big movement? And this Uncle Liu also went out to see it, and Uncle Qin asked him who he was, and we heard all this. Yuan Shasha on the side said.

Gu Chen suddenly smiled, as if this question had suddenly resolved his doubts.

Yuan Shasha saw that Gu Chen's expression was relaxed, and it seemed that she had guessed something, so she hurriedly asked him, "Senior Brother Gu, did you think of something?"

"That's right. Gu Chen nodded slightly, and said lightly: "I know why there was movement in the courtyard for the first time, and Uncle Qin had to ask a special question, because this is the trap deliberately set by Uncle Qin." ”

"Therefore...... A deliberately set trap?" Yuan Shasha felt a little incomprehensible?

So he asked Gu Chen again: "Senior Brother Gu, Uncle Qin set a trap, who is that going to trap?"

"We. Gu Chen said.

"I ...... We?" Yuan Shasha blinked, and pointed at herself for no reason: "He...... What is he doing with us? Be a spectator. ”

"Yes, it's to be an audience, and it's to treat us as fools, and deliberately lead us into the ditch. This time, Gu Chen seemed to be more firm in his previous judgment.

Walking to the door of Uncle Qin's room, Gu Chen turned to face everyone and said, "Have you ever thought about a reason? Why is Principal Gao here tonight?"

"Uncle Qin called him. Lu Weiwei said.

"Yes. Gu Chen stretched out his finger and pointed to Uncle Qin's room and said, "It's this Uncle Qin, who informed Principal Gao to come to his room at night, and to come over secretly so that no one would find out." ”

"I can even boldly speculate that Uncle Qin and Principal Gao both made an appointment for a specific time, because the appointed time is usually calculated on the hour. ”

"So when I first heard the movement, I looked at the time, around 12 o'clock. ”

"Of course, Principal Gao can also arrive some time earlier, which cannot be accurately calculated. ”

"But Principal Gao at that time actually didn't know that his death was coming, and he had any secrets in the hands of Uncle Qin, otherwise he wouldn't be so weird and obedient. ”

Glancing at Uncle Liu, Gu Chen said again: "And combined with what Uncle Liu said, Uncle Qin and Principal Gao have begun to get close these days, which shows that the two are communicating things repeatedly." ”

"If something like this hasn't happened before, but it's happened in the past few days, then it's easy to understand, the balance of the relationship between the two seems to have been broken by something, so Uncle Qin had to kill Principal Gao. ”

"So...... So what?" Seeing that Gu Chen was conducting simulated reasoning and giving away people's heads, Zhao Wenjing's whole face turned blue with fright.

Gu Chen turned his head to look at her, and said, "So Uncle Qin invited Principal Gao to his room in the middle of the night, and after letting Principal Gao enter his room, he went to the courtyard outside and knocked on the door, and he deliberately made the movement very loud. ”

"Because Uncle Qin and Uncle Liu have lived here for a long time, they are very familiar with Uncle Liu's living habits. ”

He knew that Uncle Liu would definitely get up to check the situation after hearing the movement, and there was an obvious time difference between them. ”

Glancing at the hunchbacked Uncle Liu, Gu Chen said again: "So Uncle Qin just took advantage of this time difference, and after waking up Uncle Liu and us, he quickly ran back to the room." ”

At this time, Uncle Liu, who heard the movement, would definitely go to the door to check the situation, of course there was no one at this time. ”

Lu Weiwei nodded frequently when she heard this, but she said curiously: "But why did he do this?"

"Didn't I just say that in order for us to get into the trap he laid out, that is, to get rid of our own suspicion. Gu Chen said.

"Get rid of your suspicion?" Officer Wang frowned, looked up at Gu Chen and said, "Gu Chen, then according to what you said, Uncle Qin deliberately asked Uncle Liu who was outside the door in order to hide that he was not knocking on the door, right?"

"That's right, it seems that Senior Brother Wang has already guessed. Gu Chen was very relieved, at least Officer Wang had kept up with his train of thought.

In order to cover himself, Uncle Qin deliberately knocked on the door of the courtyard, and then when Uncle Liu came back, he deliberately asked him, just to let us all know that the person who knocked on the door was not him, which is a typical trick. ”

And just after Uncle Liu went back to the room to rest, Uncle Qin suddenly moved his murderous intent, and when Principal Gao was defenseless, he used some deadly means to brutally kill Principal Gao. ”

Then, using a sharp blade, he cut off Principal Gao's head, and changed Principal Gao into the clothes he had prepared, disguising Principal Gao's headless body as himself, while he himself quickly left with Principal Gao's head. ”

"That's not right. Officer Wang seemed to have heard what Gu Chen meant, theoretically this situation was okay, but there was another problem, Officer Wang had not figured it out.

So he looked up at Gu Chen, and said, "Gu Chen, what you said is indeed possible, but have you ever thought about it? Uncle Qin is 72 years old after all, how could he pack Principal Gao's head in a short period of time, and then send it to the nursing home, and knock on Zhao Wenjing's door?"

"That's right. Hearing what Officer Wang said, Lu Weiwei also felt a little suspicious.

It's not that Gu Chen's reasoning is wrong, it's just that some conditions are really lacking.

Even if Gu Chen's reasoning about Uncle Qin's murder was valid, how did he pack Principal Gao's head in a black cardboard box in a very short period of time and then deliver it to Zhao Wenjing's door in the nursing home?

Even if Uncle Liu is a long-distance runner in theory, such time is very tight.

Gu Chen smiled faintly: "I also thought of what you thought of, didn't you notice the person who came here for the second time and knocked on the gate of the courtyard?"

"Knocking on the yard for the second time?" Zhou Xiaoling was stunned, and said with a confused expression: "You mean...... Zhang Mu?"

"Yes, it's Zhang Mu. Gu Chen walked up to Zhou Xiaoling and said with an affirmative face: "If Zhang Mu's appearance is a coincidence, then if this coincidence can facilitate him to quickly send Principal Gao's head to the Guangming Town Nursing Home, then he is an accomplice." ”

"Help...... Accomplice?"

After hearing Gu Chen's words, Zhou Xiaoling was so frightened that she took a few steps back, and said with a miserable face: "Impossible? How can he Zhang Mu be an accomplice? He has never been to Guangming Town, how can he be an accomplice?"

"That's right, Gu Chen, Zhang Mu came here to wait for Zhou Xiaoling in order to stick to her, he has never been to Guangming Town before, how can he know Uncle Qin? You must be mistaken. ”

"That's right, I think Senior Brother Gu must have made a mistake, how can a stranger be an accomplice?" Yuan Shasha also seemed to be on Officer Wang's side.

For this kind of accomplice, Yuan Shasha feels a little confused, at least it is unlikely.

Seeing that everyone was against him, Gu Chen set his eyes on Lu Weiwei, who had not spoken, and asked her, "Senior Sister Lu, what do you think?"

"Me?" Lu Weiwei hesitated, but nodded silently: "I...... I believe you, after all, ordinary people can think of a question, how could you Senior Brother Gu not think of it?"

"So I think that if Zhang Mu is an accomplice, then there are several conditions that are not valid, first, it is impossible for him to have no acquaintances here, if there is, it may be Uncle Qin, who is suspected of being a murderer. ”

"Second, it is not true that he himself said that he came to Zhou Xiaoling to surprise Zhou Xiaoling, at least he must be lying, and he is looking for Zhou Xiaoling as an excuse to cover up his purpose of killing. ”

The scene suddenly fell silent.

Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha looked at each other, seemingly a little speechless.

That's right, what Lu Weiwei said is right, even ordinary people know the conditions that are completely impossible, how could Gu Chen not know?

Since Gu Chen knew, why did he still say that Zhang Mu might be an accomplice?

And after Lu Weiwei's remarks just now, it seems that this impossibility suddenly becomes possible again.

Gu Chen smiled slightly, and also nodded and said: "Thank you Senior Sister Lu for your trust, that's right, I'm the same as you think, if Uncle Qin needs to quickly remove the head after committing the crime, he will definitely not be able to do it with his old bones, and at this time, a young man is needed to help." ”

"And at this time, it was this time, Zhang Mu appeared, he came to knock on the door, and said that he was looking for Uncle Qin, don't you think it's suspicious?"

"Uh......"

Officer Wang was stunned, and nodded silently: "Hearing you say this, it seems to be ...... There is a little truth to it. ”

"In that case, this Zhang Mu has known Uncle Qin for a long time, and saying that he is here to find Zhou Xiaoling is completely a scam, and even Zhou Xiaoling is kept in the dark. ”

"No...... Impossible, right?" When everyone said that he had become a suspected accomplice, that is, Zhang Mu's use object, Zhou Xiaoling was stunned.

He ...... Has he, Zhang Mu, been using me all along? Seeing that I came to Guangming Town to participate in the event, he also happened to take advantage of this opportunity to come and kill people?"

Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaoling covered her cheeks and said in horror: "That's ...... In that case, this Zhang Mu was lying to me from the beginning, why did he quit his job to see me, and he was willing to come to Guangming Town a day in advance to wait for me in order to see me, and these co-authors are all fake?"

Zhou Xiaoling felt like a dream, feeling a little too magical.

Of course, Gu Chen must also know that the current murder scene has actually been disturbed by the murderer.

If these existential conditions are regarded as unknown number X, then according to the formula, it is entirely possible for Uncle Qin to meet the conditions mentioned by Gu Chen.

But to get the final answer, there must be an accomplice to complete the whole process.

So about the accomplice, that is, Zhang Mu, he must be suspected of lying.

Because only Zhang Mu was lying, he came to Guangming Town a day in advance and secretly contacted Uncle Qin, and the conditions for the two to conspire to kill Principal Gao were established.

Of course, what was the motive for the killing? Gu Chen did not know this, but the means of killing were completely established.

Watching the flow of information in his mind constantly spliced and reorganized, Gu Chen used master-level reasoning to quickly digest these fragmented information.

Looking up at everyone, Gu Chen said again: "The second time I knocked on the door, it was also Zhang Mu, he cooperated with Uncle Qin very well, creating the illusion that he was just looking for someone." ”

In fact, when Uncle Liu went out to talk to Zhang Mu again, Uncle Qin at this time definitely left the bungalow and ran to a secret place, that is, the place that had been discussed with Zhang Mu, where Principal Gao's head was packed into a black cardboard box. ”

And after Zhang Mu was driven away by Uncle Liu, he would immediately go to the secret place that had been discussed with Uncle Qin, and then took the cardboard box, and sent it to the welfare home as quickly as possible according to the shortest route designated by Uncle Qin before, and knocked on the door of Sister Zhao Wenjing's room. ”

"Yes...... But why did he do this?" Zhao Wenjing, who was confused and gave people heads, expressed puzzlement.

Gu Chen stared at her, and also said with a serious face: "I thought they were going to disrupt the concept of time and create a time existence that could not be the murderer." ”

"Only in this way, when our police are investigating the case, no matter how they are calculated, it is impossible to take them as the object of suspicion, and even if they are suspected, it is impossible to deduce that they are the murderers. ”

After looking around for a week, Gu Chen said again: "Because most people, including Sister Zhao Wenjing and us, have become objective witnesses to help them clear their names in a confused time. ”

......
