In the room, Gu Chen wiped his nose, and the cold made him a little uncomfortable.

Now that autumn has just begun, although Jiangnan City at noon will still feel a little hot, but it will not turn on the air conditioner.

It's no wonder that Zou Xiaoli is very wary of this.

"It's okay, it's just a little cold, has Senior Sister Lu checked it?" Gu Chen asked.

Lu Weiwei said: "It's all checked, and I have already notified the technical department of the city bureau just now and asked them to come and transport the body away." ”

Gu Chen came to the corpse again, looked at the woman who had died, and then looked at the air conditioner behind him, and couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.

"How can a person die of suffocation in a good manner? It doesn't make sense? And with the air conditioner on, even if you fall asleep while the air conditioner is on, isn't it cold?"

Gu Chen clasped his hands on his chest and pondered for a moment.

The woman's death in the air-conditioned room is very strange in itself.

Did you turn on the air conditioner, or was it someone else?

Especially looking at the changes in the woman's facial features and many characteristics on her body, Gu Chen's eyes suddenly lit up: "Could it be ......?"

"Senior Brother Gu, Gao Chuanfeng, they will come over immediately. ”

Gu Chen's thoughts seemed to have a slight eyebrow, and he was pulled back to reality by Lu Weiwei's words.

Gu Chen temporarily put aside his thoughts just now, and said directly: "Let their people come directly to the third floor, first bring the body back to the testing room of the technical department, and we will find a way to contact the family of the deceased and ask her neighbors." ”

"Well, I'll leave this to me. Lu Weiwei readily agreed.

......

......

A few minutes later, Gao Chuanfeng rushed to the scene with personnel from the technical department of the city bureau.

Similarly, when Takakawa Kaede walked into the room with the air conditioner on, he was also trembling for the first time.

"Oh my God, why is the air conditioner still on in this room?"

"yes, why do you want to turn on the air conditioner? We want to know. Lu Weiwei said.

Gao Chuanfeng shrunk his neck, pointed to the woman on the bed and said, "Have you finished the inspection?" ”

Gu Chen nodded slightly, indicating that it was okay.

After all, the work of examining the characteristics of the corpse was originally done by the technical department of the city bureau.

Of course, Gu Chen is here, and this work naturally falls on him.

Gao Chuan Kaede also saved a lot of time, of course, he was tired of it.

The body was gently placed in a body bag, sealed, and slowly lifted out by two police officers wearing masks.

Gao Chuanfeng walked to the living room, turned around and asked Gu Chen, "Is there anything else you need to serve?"

"Check the time of death, and also note that the air conditioning in the room is always on, which may affect the judgment time. ”

"Hmm. Gao Chuanfeng nodded slightly, a little big: "It's really terrible, it may take a lot of time, I'll take the body back first, and you notify the family." ”

"Yes. Gu Chen agreed.

After Gao Chuanfeng left, Gu Chen found Officer Wang and asked, "Senior Brother Wang, are there any other discoveries at the scene?"

"Strange. Officer Wang clasped his hands on his chest, and also held his chin and pondered: "In this room, it was cleaned cleanly, and there were no traces of a fight, maybe the deceased cleaned it himself, right?"

When Gu Chen heard this, he hurriedly walked to the balcony, took the mop in his hand, and handed it to Yuan Shasha: "Xiao Yuan, you wrap this mop and let Gao Chuanfeng take it back to check it to see if there are any other people's fingerprints on it." ”

"Yes. Yuan Shasha quickly took the mop, hurriedly walked out of the door, and chased Gao Chuanfeng.

Seeing that Officer Wang had also searched the scene, but did not find it, Gu Chen directly retracted his gaze to Zou Xiaoli.

At this moment, Zou Xiaoli is still sad about the death of her best friend, and the tissues that wiped her tears are also scattered all over the ground.

Gu Chen casually found a stool, pointed the law enforcement recorder at Zou Xiaoli, and asked her, "Miss Zou, has your girlfriend behaved abnormally recently?"

"No, what abnormal behavior did she have?" Zou Xiaoli wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and couldn't help but say:

"My best friend is very enthusiastic and has strong work ability, and she is also my master, and she has been very helpful to me before. ”

And she is financially independent, very good at dressing up, and her temperament is a leader among insurance salesmen. ”

"Does she have a boyfriend?" asked Officer Wang.

Zou Xiaoli hesitated for a few seconds, and then said frankly: "I handed over one before, but then I broke up, and now I have been alone." ”

"Is she still in touch with her ex-boyfriend?" Lu Weiwei also asked.

Zou Xiaoli shook her head: "No contact, I heard my girlfriend talk about it some time ago, saying that his ex-boyfriend is getting married, and in another city, she also knows the news from other friends' circle of friends, so it shouldn't be contacted, right?"

"No contact?" Gu Chen was puzzled, looked around at the huge suite, and asked curiously, "Then has your girlfriend always lived here alone?"

Zou Xiaoli nodded silently: "She makes a lot of money, and she spends mainly on renting a house, and she is a person who likes to be quiet, and she usually lives here alone." ”

"Sometimes, we girlfriends are invited to come over and cook dinner or something, and that's usually the case. ”

Gu Chen recorded these in the case and asked Zou Xiaoli again: "Did she offend anyone during this time?"

"Uh......"

When Gu Chen asked about this topic, Zou Xiaoli suddenly hesitated.

"Yes or no?" Gu Chen asked again.

"I don't know. Zou Xiaoli shook her head, and said with some grievances: "Do us like this, any kind of person can meet, to say that there are many people who are offended, but at most it is just a business dispute." ”

"And my best friend is also a very open-minded person, and sometimes she doesn't bother to deal with other people's quarrels with her. ”

"Sometimes I envy her, she can live without heart and lungs, she always tells me that she can't quarrel over some, she is angry, and she has to spend money to maintain it, it's not worth it. ”

Gu Chen nodded silently, and said, "In other words, most of the people who have conflicts with her are some people who have dealings in business, right?"

"Let's just say that. Zou Xiaoli didn't know how to explain, if she had to give an answer, maybe it was what Gu Chen said.

Gu Chen then asked some other information about the deceased, and Zou Xiaoli also completed it.

From Zou Xiaoli, Gu Chen did not find anyone with a motive to kill.

After sending Zou Xiaoli away, Gu Chen asked Lu Weiwei to block the gate of the scene with a cordon.

When I came downstairs, because of the previous movement, there was a bit of a big noise, and at this moment, there were many old men and old ladies standing around the corridor watching the excitement.

Seeing Gu Chen walking out of the unit building, a curious old lady took the initiative to step forward and ask, "This police comrade, what is the situation on the third floor?"

"A woman died in her bed. Gu Chen said.

He said a woman died in her bed. As soon as Gu Chen's words fell, the old lady immediately turned her head and spoke to a few people behind her.

Several other old men and old ladies had complicated expressions, and after some discussion, they asked the old lady just now to come over and ask.

"Comrade policeman, how did she die?"

"Suffocation to death. Gu Chen said.

He said it was death by suffocation. The old lady turned around again and began to communicate with her companion behind her.

Gu Chen was also a little speechless, and explained in his heart that everyone could hear it, could he be guilty of spreading the word like this?

But later I found out that there was an old lady who had to keep lowering her head to listen to her, and Gu Chen suddenly understood that there might be a few old ladies who were not very good at hearing.

Seeing that everyone still wanted to come over and ask, Gu Chen simply walked among them and showed everyone the photos of the deceased taken at the scene: "Do you know this person?"

"Uh, yes. The old lady who sent the message said, "Isn't she the resident of the third floor? ”

Seeing that the old lady knew each other, Gu Chen said again: "Then has she been in frequent contact with anyone in the community recently?"

"Uh......"

The old lady was suddenly stunned again, she scratched the back of her head, leaned in front of her companion, and repeated Gu Chen's question just now.

Everyone looked at each other, and one of the old men raised his right hand.

"Uncle, you say. Gu Chen pointed at him, like a teacher by name.

The old man stepped forward and also recalled: "If you want to say who she has more contact with, I can't say this." ”

"It's hard to say what kind of fun are you running here to make a fuss?" The old lady suddenly stopped talking, feeling that this was not adding to the police?

The old man waved his hand: "Don't worry, you have to let me finish speaking, right?"

"Okay, you say. Gu Chen hurriedly stopped the old lady from interrupting, and continued to ask the old man: "If you know anything, you can tell me." ”

"Hmm. "The old man is a little sluggish, it takes some time to think about the problem, Gu Chen didn't interrupt, just waited.

A few seconds later, the uncle replied: "She has sent business cards to many people in our community before, saying that she is an insurance salesman, and she often chats with us when she has time, and she does homely things." ”

"She told us that many of the benefits of buying insurance are mainly protection, like my grandchildren's insurance, which I bought for them. ”

"Then you are also her customer?" Gu Chen said.

The old man nodded: "Yes, I am her customer, and this girl is quite able to speak, many elderly people in our community have bought insurance from her, and they are very polite when they meet, and for a while, they are trading almost every day." ”

"I dare say that at least half of the elderly people I know in this community have bought insurance from her, and more than one. ”

"It's powerful here?" Hearing the old man's words, Lu Weiwei was stunned.

I felt that I only knew that Zou Xiaoli was good at selling insurance, but I didn't expect her master to be even more so.

After living in a community for a few months, you can get the insurance orders of most of the elderly in the community.

Of course, the elderly mainly buy for their children and grandchildren, and always hope that future generations will be protected.

In this way, Lu Weiwei even doubted her purpose in moving to the community.

For example, it is not impossible to change communities in a few months, and then develop contacts in new communities to sell insurance.

In a short period of time, Gu Chen also got a lot of information from the old man, and in summary, it was just as Lu Weiwei thought.

Indeed, the deceased Ami developed most of the elderly people in the community with a little savings into his customers.

It's no wonder that Zou Xiaoli said that girlfriends rarely go to the company, and people make various transactions in the community, can they use them to go to the company?

But there is one important point that Gu Chen also noticed, that is, the deceased Ami got along well with most people, and there was no so-called contradiction.

The only time I had an unpleasant quarrel was the daughter-in-law of an old man, who accused the old man of spending money indiscriminately, and the insurance was bought repeatedly, and asked to surrender the insurance.

But because of the signing of the contract, the insurance could not be surrendered, so the deceased Ami also bought some small gifts as compensation and gave them to the granddaughter of the old man.

It can be said that in terms of dealing with interpersonal relationships, the deceased Ami was a social expert, and it is better than that there is no conflict with others.

And because Ami has a lot of contact with people in the community, no one has found anything particularly unusual about Ami recently.

The investigation was fruitless, so Gu Chen could only use Zou Xiaoli to ask her to contact Ami's parents in other provinces and ask them to rush to Jiangnan City as soon as possible.

After that, Gu Chen drove Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha to the Technical Department of the Municipal Bureau together.

At this moment, inside the testing room.

Kaede Takakawa was also assisted by a trainee forensic doctor to record the specific circumstances of the corpse.

Seeing Gu Chen and the members of the criminal investigation team coming in, the trainee forensic doctor also immediately greeted him: "You should be Gu Chen, the youngest captain of the criminal investigation team in the Furong Branch, right?"

"Do you know me?" Gu Chen saw that the forensic doctor was a little unfamiliar, and he didn't seem to have seen it before.

The trainee forensic doctor said with a light smile: "I just transferred here not long ago, of course you haven't seen me, but you are very famous in our city bureau, and your image poster is often made into a wall calendar of our police force, so I know you." ”

"So that's it?"

Not to mention the trainee forensic doctor, Gu Chen almost forgot that the police force used his poster as a wall calendar.

But he didn't come here to listen to his sycophants, Gu Chen asked him with a light smile: "What's your name." ”

"My name is Zhuang He, you have to call me Xiao Zhuang, I am Senior Brother Gao's assistant. Trainee forensic doctor Zhuang He said.

When Lu Weiwei heard this, she laughed out loud and said, "I didn't expect Gao Chuanfeng to have an assistant." ”

"Tsk, what's the matter? You Lu Weiwei have become the deputy head of the third criminal investigation team of the Furong Branch, it's not too much for me to have a trainee assistant, right?"

Gao Chuanfeng also turned his head and couldn't help but say.

Lu Weiwei's eyes were stunned: "Yo he! You know all about me being the deputy team leader? ”

"Don't underestimate our intelligence-gathering capabilities. Takakawa said.

Yuan Shasha smiled lightly and said, "Senior Brother Gao, then Forensic Doctor Liu has asked you to test independently now?"

"Is that okay?" Gao Chuanfeng was a little proud, and pointed to the assistant Zhuang He next to him and said, "See, why don't you assign me a trainee assistant?"

"Huh. Lu Weiwei laughed dryly, and said directly: "I said Zhuang He, in the future, I will have more real skills with high forensic medicine, but don't learn from his bragging." ”

"Poof. Zhuang He snickered and nodded hurriedly: "I know Senior Sister Lu, you came here for this corpse, right?"

"Is that okay?" Lu Weiwei walked to Ami's corpse, turned her head and asked Gao Chuanfeng, "What are your test results?"

"Difficult. Gao Chuanfeng pretended to have a headache and said: "When this body was found, the air conditioner was always on, and the influence of this external factor was a bit big, and it was not easy to judge the specific time of death." ”

"So if it was he who killed him, it is very likely that the air conditioner was deliberately turned on by the murderer, in order to mislead us into judging the time of Ami's death. Gu Chen wanted to talk about it when he was at the scene just now.

After all, the air conditioner is turned on, of course, not so simple as cooling.

Although the temperature has gradually risen in the past few days, it is still quite hot at noon, and the power of the autumn tiger is also some.

But not so much as to keep the room open all the time.

Gu Chen's understanding, of course, has a great connection with the deceased.

According to Gu Chen's speculation, a large part of the reason why the air conditioner in the deceased's room was turned on may be to mislead the police's judgment.

"Yes. Just as Gu Chen's words fell, Gao Chuanfeng also said with great certainty: "There must be something wrong with this air conditioner, at least it is obviously misleading for us to identify the time of death of the deceased." ”

"If you can't determine the specific time of death, wouldn't it be very troublesome? At least it's troublesome to find the murderer?" Yuan Shasha also said the matter, which is the most headache now.

It's no wonder that Gao Chuanfeng is frowning here.

Gu Chen took out a pair of clean white gloves and put them on his hands, then walked to the testing table where Ami's body was placed, and began to further examine the specific features of Ami's body with the assistance of the spotlight.

Seeing this, trainee forensic doctor Zhuang He came over with a notebook.

Officer Wang, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha also followed.

Everyone gathered around Gu Chen and quietly watched Gu Chen check.

After making a general observation, Gu Chen also shook his head and agreed with Gao Chuanfeng's statement.

"Ami's body, from the time it was found to the present, it has indeed been a long time apart, and there is external interference from air conditioning. ”

"At this time, the body temperature, mortis, and corpse spots are also not helpful to judge. ”

"And the temperature of the corpse drops by about 0.8 degrees Celsius per hour, and finally drops to the same temperature as the surrounding temperature. ”

"But the temperature at the scene of the crime was about 20 degrees, which means that after 18 hours, the temperature of the corpse dropped to the same temperature as the room temperature. ”

"So if he killed, is that the real purpose of the murderer?" Ms. Lu said.

Gu Chen nodded silently: "It can be understood like this." ”

Seeing this, trainee forensic doctor Zhuang He hurriedly recorded Gu Chen's remarks just now.

But Gu Chen suddenly remembered something, turned his head and asked Gao Chuanfeng: "By the way, Gao Chuanfeng, is there any important discovery of the mop that asked you to test?"

"Nothing major was discovered. Gao Chuanfeng got down from his seat and slowly walked towards Gu Chen: "On the handle of the mop, we extracted fingerprints through technology, but those are only the fingerprints of the deceased themselves. ”

That is to say...... The cleaning of the room was done by the deceased Ami herself?" Yuan Shasha couldn't help but be curious.

Gu Chen shook his head: "Not necessarily, maybe the murderer can also wear gloves and clean the floor of the room without leaving traces on the mop handle, this possibility is also very likely." ”

Hearing Gu Chen's words, Zhuang He hurriedly recorded these records, and then asked Gu Chen: "Then Senior Brother Gu, now it is impossible to determine the time of death of the deceased through the body temperature, corpse stiffness and corpse spots, so can we only rely on other means?"

"Yes. Gu Chen also nodded slightly, and explained to Zhuang He: "If these basic factors can no longer be judged, there is only another way. ”

"Is it a displaning?" Zhuang He asked.

......
