Inside the office.

Lisa froze there.

She looked at the ID photo in front of her, and her face was slightly stunned.

But after a while, all the calmness and calmness just now seemed to disappear in an instant.

Lisa Dai frowned slightly, and said coldly: "Of course I know this person, he is my ex-husband." ”

"Good. Seeing Lisa's admission, Fabio asked again: "Paul is currently in Luocheng, has he been in contact with you?"

"This ......"

Lisa was hesitant, and everyone could see that.

Anna said impatiently, "We are investigating the case, and we hope that you will come to the market and answer, Ms. Lisa." ”

"Well, he did come to me, but what do you want to ask?" Lisa replied reluctantly, then looked up at the group again.

"He was burned. Anna said bluntly.

Lisa's whole body was stunned, as if she had received a major blow.

After a few seconds of brief consternation, Lisa withdrew her gaze and lowered her head to mutter.

"How...... How could it be? How could Paul have been burned to death? What the hell was going on? How could he have died?"

Gu Chen, who was standing aside, carefully observed the changes in Lisa's expression.

In fact, when Mario called to inform Lisa to come to the Luocheng Police Station to assist in the investigation, Gu Chen deliberately reminded Mario not to explain the reason first.

After Lisa came to the scene, everyone gradually informed Lisa of Paul's death to observe the change in Lisa's expression.

After learning that her ex-husband was burned to death, Lisa's legs became weak and she even needed to borrow a table and chair to stand.

Anna glanced at Gu Chen, and quickly pushed a wooden chair to Lisa's side: "Ms. Lisa, you sit down first." ”

"No, no, officer, tell me, what the hell is going on with Paul, how did he get burned to death? No, it's impossible, are you lying to me?"

Anna, who was scratched by Lisa, had some pain in her arm, and with the help of Mario, she struggled to get out of the struggle.

Gu Chen, who was on the side, used both hands, quickly took the scene materials in his hands, handed them to Lisa and said, "Ms. Lisa, don't get excited, here are the photos we took on the spot." ”

Seeing this, Lisa reached out to take it.

But Gu Chen suddenly shrank back and reminded: "Let me first state that these photos may cause you discomfort, I hope Ms. Lisa can be mentally prepared, understand?"

"I know. Lisa nodded silently and agreed.

Gu Chen glanced at Anna, Mario and Fabio beside him.

The three of them nodded silently, and Gu Chen handed the folder to Lisa.

Turning the first page, when Lisa saw the photo of the charred corpse at the scene, the whole person retched on the spot, as if she was shocked.

Turning to the second page, the third page shows several close-ups of the corpse from different angles.

A short text description is provided below.

Every photo is creepy to watch.

Lisa closed her eyes briefly, and after a moment of hesitation, she quickly closed the folder and stuffed it directly into Gu Chen's arms.

"I can't stand it, I really can't stand it. Lisa's voice was crying, and the whole person was disgusting.

"Do you need to drink water?" asked Lu Weiwei on the side.

Lisa shook her head, turned around and straightened up again.

But this time, Lisa seemed to say in a questioning tone: "Where did you find this Paul's ID?"

"Rose Hotel, did he stay here before?" asked Anna on the side.

"That's right. Lisa nodded vigorously and said, "Paul has indeed been staying at the Rose Hotel during this time. ”

"So, you found this body in the hotel, right?"

In the face of Lisa's various doubts, Anna and Mario simply explained to Lisa what happened this morning.

Lisa cried again, this time even more sadly, and the whole person lay on the table involuntarily.

Gu Chen cupped his hands on his chest curiously, leaned on Lisa's side and asked, "I said Ms. Lisa, you and your ex-husband Paul have divorced, and according to the information we got here, Paul has been living in Milan for the past two years. ”

"But why, he recently ran back to Luocheng, you know, Paul doesn't have any relatives and friends in Luocheng, only you and your children, so he came here to see you this time, right?"

Facing Gu Chen's series of questions, Lisa raised her head slightly, but said silently: "That's right, he said that he was unemployed in Milan, and the house was mortgaged, and he is now a little desperate and wants to remarry me." ”

The scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at each other, as if it felt that things were far from so simple.

Anna hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What about your attitude? Do you want to remarry Paul?"

Lisa shook her head.

"Why?" Anna asked again.

"Because ......," Lisa swallowed, and then said reluctantly, "Because Paul is not a qualified husband, he has always been drunk and beaten, I know this." ”

"Not long after I got married, he started beating me, and for so many years, I have endured enough for the sake of my children and family. ”

"After the divorce, I feel that I am free, I and my children no longer have to be tortured by him, I am doing well, why should I remarry?"

"I see. Gu Chen on the side nodded slightly, he looked at Lisa who was full of anger, and there seemed to be something strange in his eyes.

According to the character analysis of the two, Paul seems to be a violent maniac, and Lisa's attitude is also very clear, remarriage is absolutely not allowed.

Therefore, the purpose of Paul's visit to Los Angeles this time must be inseparable from Lisa.

Therefore, if you want to say that Gu Chen does not doubt Lisa, you can't say anything in your heart.

So Gu Chen said again: "Ms. Lisa, I want to know, did Paul offend anyone in Luo City?"

"Who have you offended?" Lisa frowned slightly, and the whole person fell into hesitation.

But after a while, she shook her head again and said, "This, I really don't know, after the divorce, I also cut off contact with Paul, and I don't know who Paul has been in contact with and who he has made enemies with, so, I'm sorry, I really can't answer your question." ”

"But you must know that Paul was burned to death in the city of Los Angeles, and you are seriously suspected. Anna on the side was also blunt, informing Lisa of the seriousness of the problem in advance.

Lisa shook her head violently and said loudly: "I'm not, I don't, I don't know, anyway, Paul's death has nothing to do with me." ”

"Don't be in a hurry to get rid of the relationship so quickly. Gu Chen glanced at Anna behind him, picked up a pen from her desk, wrote twice on a piece of manuscript paper at random, and asked Lisa:

"I ask you, where were you at 9 o'clock last night, and who are you with?"

"9 o'clock last night?" Lisa was stunned, tried to think about it, and then said excitedly: "I was watching a movie with my daughter last night, and after watching the movie, I went to eat Chinese food. ”

"Then I met a colleague from a company, and we were invited to sing together, and we played until the wee hours of the morning before we went home, as my colleagues can attest. ”

There was a brief silence at the scene......

Gu Chen looked at Anna behind him embarrassedly, and he was also quite helpless.

After all, if what Lisa said was true, then Lisa wouldn't have time to kill at all.

From this, it can be judged that Lisa is not a murderer at all.

Anna asked again directly for the sake of insurance: "I want to know, what time did you start going out with your daughter, and did you leave during this period?"

"At 7pm, my daughter and I went out at 7pm because we had to get to the cinema early. ”

"Also, we ate at the Chinese restaurant, I don't remember the name of the restaurant, but the cinema is next to it, and I was with my daughter from start to finish. ”

"What time did you meet those colleagues?" Gu Chen asked again.

"Probably...... At around 9:15 p.m., after watching the movie, my daughter and I walked out of the hall together, only to find that my colleague was also watching the movie on the spot. ”

"So everyone was very happy, so they made an appointment to sing in the neighborhood together, which everyone can prove, and if you still don't believe it, you can also go to the nearby surveillance to see if what I said is true. ”

Seeing that Lisa's answer was flawless, and according to Gu Chen's explanation of Lisa's play address, it was far from the address where Paul was killed, and it was enough to drive in a short time.

However, multiple witnesses verified last night that the fire began at 9 p.m., which can rule out Lisa's fire-burning behavior last night.

But will there be a loophole? Gu Chen couldn't say clearly for the time being.

At this moment, Anna on the side continued to inquire about all Lisa's whereabouts that day, and found that Lisa was at work during the day.

These are all testified by colleagues, and they should not be fake.

It was also in the office, after going through the process of investigating the transcript with the police, Lisa stood up and asked a little tiredly, "Can I leave now?" I'm really tired, I need to rest. ”

"That's it. After Anna had completed the transcript, she pushed it in front of Lisa and said, "You sign it here." ”

"Boom!"

Lisa finished happily and asked, "Is there anything else that needs to be investigated?"

"This ...... Not at the moment. Anna shook her head slightly, and said: "If you need to assist in the investigation, we will contact you by phone, and please keep the phone on all day during this time, thank you for your cooperation." ”

"Okay. Lisa nodded slightly and asked a little tiredly, "Then can I leave now?"

"Please. Anna said lightly.

Seeing Lisa leave the police station, everyone was anxious.

For a moment, Mario and Fabio also shook their heads and sighed.

And Anna is helpless.

At present, Lisa, who is most likely to be a suspect, has no time to commit the crime.

And according to Lisa's confession, she seemed to be with the child last night, and it seems that she didn't have time to commit the crime at all.

There are also Lisa's colleagues, all of which can prove that no matter how it doesn't, Luo Cheng's monitoring is not vegetarian, which can completely verify Lisa's statement.

"It seems that Paul's death is a mystery, and he needs to contact the police in Milan to help investigate the current situation with Paul, and see if Paul has recently resolved his hatred with others. Anna complained helplessly as she stared at Mario, hoping that he would help solve it.

Then at this moment, Gu Chen was still in deep thought, and it didn't seem to be affected by the surrounding environment.

"Lisa has no motive to kill, so who could it be?" Gu Chen shook his head and continued to think.

Paul came to Luocheng to remarry Lisa, but Lisa refused, and it was clear that there would definitely be a dispute between the two. ”

"After all, Paul is a violent person, and now he has no way to go to his former ex-wife, if he is rejected like this, will he give up? If it were me, certainly not. ”

Thinking of this, Gu Chen remembered what the boss said in the Rose Hotel before.

Paul was at the Rose Lodge in Los Angeles and had been staying for a week.

If he had been unemployed for half a year, he should have been poor now, and he should have gone to Lisa on the first day he came to Luocheng. “

"If he is rejected and goes back, then obviously there is no need for Paul to stay in Luo Cheng and stay in the Rose Hotel. ”

The only explanation is that Paul must have gone to Lisa every day during these days, and if that were the case, the conflict between the two would seem to intensify. ”

"Senior Brother Gu, what are you thinking?" Seeing Gu Chen fall into self-meditation, Lu Weiwei on the side asked him curiously.

Gu Chen smiled indifferently: "I'm wondering, is this Lisa a a murderer?"

"Of course not. Lu Weiwei also smiled and said: "Didn't you listen to her? At 9 o'clock last night, she and her daughter had been watching movies and eating, and finally went to sing with their colleagues, and they were playing all night, how could they have time to run to the construction site at about 9 o'clock and set fire to the corpse?"

"That's right, in terms of time, Lisa really doesn't have enough time, but ......"

Thinking of this, Gu Chen hesitated again.

This time, it was Anna who discovered Gu Chen's entanglement and asked directly: "Gu Chen, if you have anything you want to say, just say it, it's okay." ”

"Anna. Gu Chen turned his head to look at Anna and said lightly, "I mean, the deceased Paul, can this be determined?"

"Of course. Anna's eyes widened and she nodded slightly: "The fingerprints found in the bicycle race on the scene are consistent with the fingerprints found in the Rose Hotel, which should be Paul's right." ”

"Not true. Gu Chen shook his head and retorted: "I think there seems to be a big loophole based on this alone. ”

"What...... What?" Officer Wang on the side was also stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Gu Chen, what kind of loophole are you referring to?" ”

After thinking for a few seconds, Gu Chen said: "First of all, the identification of the deceased, it seems that the objective fingerprints alone do not mean anything, if I am not mistaken, the situation that Officer George introduced to us at that time was that the deceased was burned beyond recognition, and even fingerprints could not be extracted. ”

"And the so-called fingerprints they took at the scene were taken from a bicycle near the scene, right?"

"I didn't ...... That's right. Facing Gu Chen's question, Anna nodded slightly, and asked again: "So what do you think ......?"

"So I don't think it's that simple. Gu Chen frowned slightly, stood up directly and said, "If you judge the deceased only by the fingerprints around you, it's too far-fetched. ”

"Although this can reduce a lot of investigative steps, these physical evidence fingerprints are not linked to any charred corpses. ”

Seeing Gu Chen talking, the Italian policemen who were muttering quietly in the office before immediately put down their work and were now staring at Gu Chen.

"Officer Anna. Gu Chen looked at her and said lightly: "A nameless corpse and a suspected identity, when we can't judge, we can't use the related clues around us to determine it 100%. ”

"Otherwise, you will be like now, you don't know what to do, and you have to narrow down the search through the missing person file, which is time-consuming and laborious, and it may not be rewarding, but it is also a normal procedure." ”

The scene suddenly fell into a brief silence, and everyone looked at Gu Chen silently.

And Gu Chen obviously regarded this place as his home field, and said without hesitation: "If this is the case, then the forensic doctor is the fastest to conduct identification, and the best way is to use fingerprints, tooth comparison, and DNA analysis." ”

"The deceased can also have medical devices such as heart rhythm regulators or hip implants, both of which have serial numbers that can be traced. ”

"If the deceased had a unique tattoo, surgical scar or deformity, it would be better to judge. ”

"Gu ...... Gu Chen, you ...... Go on. Mario on the side froze.

Gu Chen nodded slightly, walked up to him and said, "I think that in the current situation, it is completely impossible to extract fingerprints from charred corpses, and there will be no fingerprints." ”

"However, I can also assume that the deceased did not have a medical device or a recognizable mark, so the medical examiner will use the resources available at hand. ”

"It's important that if we police find the victim's dental records, we can determine if he is the same person. ”

"And it only takes a day or two to complete the comparison, and even if the deceased's teeth are partially damaged by the gunshot, they can still be identified with the only remaining teeth. ”

"But if there were no records, maybe the test would be useless, but luckily I saw charred corpses at the scene. ”

"It's unrecognizable, but the teeth are still intact, aren't you going to have it examined?"

"Say...... That's right. Anna came to her senses and woke up from a dream, saying, "We paid too much attention to fingerprints before, but whether the deceased was Paul or not, from this point of view, we have a huge loophole." ”

Anna turned her head to look at Gu Chen and said, "Gu Chen, you are right, if you can obtain the DNA of the deceased, you can compare it with Paul's previous medical records." ”

"That's right. Gu Chen nodded slightly, and said: "Even if you can't get the complete DNA data at all, it won't be wasted, if the deceased has a close relative, you can also collect DNA or mitochondrial DNA from the deceased and that relative at the same time." ”

By comparison, it may be concluded that the two have nothing to do with each other, which will also show that the charred body is not Paul. ”

Gu Chen's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, and like a gust of timely rain, making everyone wake up from a dream in an instant.

......
