Gu Chen didn't pay much attention to Jiang Wentao's fingers before.

It wasn't until Gu Chen found out that the deceased Xu Tian had been strangled to death that he had the idea of looking for the murder weapon.

The victim Xu Tian died in a relatively closed space, and the only place where the murderer could enter and exit was the space between the bathroom cubicle and the ceiling.

Therefore, everyone's previous judgment was that the murderer crawled out of this narrow gap.

But after Lu Weiwei's experiment, this speculation was completely overturned.

It wasn't until Zhang Feng explained that the relationship between himself and Jiang Wentao and Xu Tian made Gu Chen's attention return to Jiang Wentao.

And Jiang Wentao's fingers were the key to Gu Chen finding a flaw.

"Gu Chen. Officer Wang on the side didn't understand, Officer Wang, who had been thinking about the modus operandi all along, focused on Jiang Wentao's injured bandage for the first time because of Gu Chen's reminder.

However, this could only be Gu Chen's guess, how could he conclude that the bandage was the murder weapon that strangled Xu Tian? So Officer Wang asked again: "You said that the bandage is the murder weapon, and what is the key factor of yours?"

"That's right. Lu Weiwei was also reminded by Gu Chen, arousing her curiosity: "Senior Brother Gu, is it ...... The bandages on Jiang Wentao's fingers were flawed. ”

Gu Chen pulled hard, pulled Jiang Wentao's left hand in front of everyone again, and said:

"When I met with Mr. Jiang Wentao in the corridor, I once found the bandage on Mr. Jiang's hand, and Mr. Jiang explained to me at that time that the wound was scratched by the rusty guardrail of Binhai Park, right?"

Gu Chen looked at Jiang Wentao again.

"I didn't ...... That's right. Jiang Wentao didn't know what to say at the moment, he looked at Gu Chen with a confused look in his eyes, and said, "I have an injured hand, how can I have the strength to strangle Xu Tian? ”

Seeing that Jiang Wentao was still resisting, Gu Chen had no choice but to say seriously: "Teacher Jiang, you are mistaken, I saw that your injured and bandaged finger was the ring finger, but why have you become the middle finger now?"

"What...... What?" Jiang Wentao didn't seem to realize this, and he quickly looked at his middle finger with a bandage.

At this moment, the bandage was twisted crookedly on his middle finger, as if it had been temporarily tied.

Lu Weiwei hurriedly stepped forward, stared at her middle finger for a long time, and then stared at Jiang Wentao and said, "Teacher Jiang, are you playing with the wound on your finger?

"No, no, it's a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding......"

Jiang Wentao was also panicked.

It's just that I didn't expect that such a small detail could be captured by the young policeman in front of him.

Gu Chen ignored Jiang Wentao, grabbed Jiang Wentao's wrist with his left hand, and pulled the bandage out steadily with his right hand.

Suddenly, Jiang Wentao's clean fingers were completely exposed in front of everyone.

"Teacher Jiang. Gu Chen stared at him and said lightly, "Didn't you say that you were scratched by the rusty guardrail of Binjiang Park? Didn't you say that you bled a lot? Why are your hands so clean?"

"I ...... I ......"

was asked three times by Gu Chen, Jiang Wentao was obviously unable to resist.

How would he know that Gu Chen would actually grasp this key factor and defeat himself.

Now Jiang Wentao's intestines are also repentant, and he only hates himself for being careless at the time, and in a hurry, he mistakenly tied the bandage tied to his ring finger to his middle finger.

Originally, this would not arouse the suspicion of others at all, but the hateful thing was that when he collided with Gu Chen, he was inadvertently discovered by Gu Chen.

"Haha, I see. Lu Weiwei on the side suddenly became proud.

She hurriedly put on her white gloves, took the bandage in Gu Chen's hand, and put it in her hand and pulled it repeatedly.

"That's right, it's a disguised bandage, and it's not elastic at all. Lu Weiwei pulled hard again: "Moreover, it's quite strong." ”

"Jiang Wentao, what else do you have to say?" Seeing this, Officer Wang also set his eyes on Jiang Wentao: "It's a shame that you are still a fireworks master, and you actually strangled your friend." ”

"No...... Not me. Jiang Wentao suddenly panicked, and hurriedly said: "What if I am bandaged? Can't I have a sore hand wrapped around the bandage? You want to arrest me just because of this?"

Jiang Wentao looked at Xu Tian's corpse on the ground and sneered: "My brother was strangled to death, that's right, but everyone who came to the scene just now knows that Xu Tian died in a relatively closed toilet cubicle, and he wanted to kill people in the cubicle, and he retreated, do you think this is possible?"

Officer Wang was also stunned.

Jiang Wentao is right, even if the murder weapon is found, it is difficult to convict Jiang Wentao without a reasonable explanation of the modus operandi.

Officer Wang was stuck here before, but now when Jiang Wentao said it, Comrade Wang's face instantly looked bad again.

Gu Chen smiled and said, "Since I can find the murder weapon that strangled Xu Tian, I naturally know how you committed the crime." ”

"What...... What, Senior Brother Gu, do you already know how he committed the crime?" Lu Weiwei was also stunned.

Just now, I tried a lot of hard work to experiment, but I didn't find any evidence of how the murderer escaped, and now that Gu Chen has found the murder weapon, he can know how the murderer committed the crime?

That sounds a bit mysterious!

"Senior Sister Lu. Gu Chen looked at Lu Weiwei, smiled and said, "I worked hard for you just now, so I don't have to bother you to go out in person this time, let Ding Liang do it for you." ”

"I ...... I'll do it for you?" Ding Liang was puzzled.

"It's to help me restore how the murderer strangled Xu Tian's modus operandi. Gu Chen explained.

"Oh, I see, I understand when you say that. Ding Liang quickly understood what Gu Chen meant.

is to play the deceased Xu Tian by himself, and Gu Chen to play the murderer, restoring the modus operandi just now.

Gu Chen put on white gloves, took the bandage rope just now from Lu Weiwei's hand, looked at Ding Liang and said, "Ding Liang, you go to the toilet first." ”

"Huh?" Ding Liang was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and said, "Okay, okay." ”

"Go in, go a little further in. Gu Chen pulled the bandage rope in both hands and commanded outside the toilet door.

"Yes...... Is it okay?" Ding Liang had already walked into the inside of the toilet cubicle, turned around and asked Gu Chen.

Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei looked at each other, staring at Gu Chen with fixed eyes, as if they didn't want to miss every detail.

And Jiang Wentao on the side, his whole heart was also pounding, feeling that the end of the world had come.

"Stand still, I'm coming. Gu Chen instantly took a step forward and put the bandage rope around Ding Liang's neck from behind.

Then, Gu Chen closed the door of the toilet cubicle outward.

Using the gap in the door of the compartment as a fulcrum, he pulled the two ends of the rope, and instantly pulled Ding Liang, who was strangled by his neck, from the inside of the toilet to the door of the compartment.

Because the rope passed through the gap in the gate, Ding Liang, who was strangled to death, was directly fixed at the gate.

"The murderer used the gap in the door of the compartment as a stuck point to complete the murder of Xu Tian in an instant. Gu Chen turned to look at Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei.

"Ahh Lu Weiwei instantly understood.

"So Jiang Wentao's murder was not carried out in the compartment?" Officer Wang also held his chin and asked thoughtfully.

"Senior Brother Wang is right, please continue to read. Gu Chen's voice fell, he instantly let go of his left hand, and through the gap in the door panel, he pulled out the bandage rope with his right hand, and then said: "Ding Liang, you will fall down naturally." ”

"Ahem, you almost strangled me to death. Ding Liang coughed twice in the compartment and couldn't help complaining.

Lu Weiwei smiled: "Ding Liang, dead people can't speak, can you please be professional?"

"Okay, okay. Ding Liang didn't say more, leaned directly on the door of the compartment, sat down slowly, and asked, "Is it okay now?"

Gu Chen stepped forward and pushed the door with his hand.

At this time, Ding Liang, who was sitting on the ground, just blocked the door with his body, forming a seemingly relatively closed space.

"That's the way it is. Gu Chen was quite satisfied with such a simulation experiment, and said: "After the deceased Xu Tian was strangled to death, he collapsed in the toilet cubicle, and his body leaned against the door panel, which made us mistakenly believe that the murderer escaped from the gap between the top of the cubicle and the ceiling after committing the murder in the cubicle. ”

"Actually, our previous speculation was wrong, the murderer Jiang Wentao used my modus operandi just now, which can not only kill Xu Tian in a very short time, but also create the illusion that a murderer is committing murder in the compartment, so as to confuse everyone. ”

Gu Chen looked at Jiang Wentao, who was already stunned beside him, and said lightly, "Teacher Jiang Wentao, am I right?"

At this moment, Jiang Wentao's eyes were dull, and he leaned against the wall weakly, and slowly sat on the ground.

"You...... You're right. Jiang Wentao's face was expressionless, he lowered his head and said lightly: "Xu Tianhe...... He was indeed strangled by me. ”

"You're finally admitting?" Lou walked up to him, pointing the body camera at him.

"But why are you doing this?" Officer Wang was also puzzled, old acquaintances would meet in such a way.

"It's because of Xu Tian's imprisonment, right?" Gu Chen also asked based on what Zhang Feng said before.

"That's right. Seeing that the matter was revealed, there was no need to hide it any longer, Jiang Wentao said with a wry smile: "If it weren't for his Xu Tian being aggressive, I wouldn't have been ruthless, this is also what he brought on himself?"

"Tell me what's going on?" Gu Chen had already taken out his notebook and began to record Jiang Wentao's words in detail.

"Yesterday was the first time we met after Xu Tian was released from prison. Jiang Wentao looked up at Gu Chen and said, "I didn't expect that he would ask me for 5 million when he opened his mouth." ”

"How many ...... How million?" Officer Wang was also afraid that he had misheard, so he hurriedly asked again.

"It's 5 million. Jiang Wentao said with certainty.

"But why did he ask you for so much money? Why did he?" Gu Chen couldn't help but say a tentative word, but he seemed to be able to guess a thing or two in his heart.

"It was because he was in prison that year, and it was entirely because I let him steal the company's intellectual property and some documents that were relatively confidential at the time. ”

"But then he was arrested, and I told him that if I both went to jail, it would probably be bad for both of us. ”

"And if he takes the responsibility alone, I can still find a way to get him out, his parents at home, I can help take care of him, and after he comes out, we can use the skills we have mastered to do it together." ”

"Are you sure you told him that at that time?" Gu Chen was unmoved, and continued to stare at Jiang Wentao.

Jiang Wentao nodded, crying and laughing: "But I later followed a European and went abroad to develop, take care of his parents, and find a way to get him out, it was difficult to implement, so he hated me." ”

Looking up at Gu Chen, Jiang Wentao said again: "Comrade policeman, but I really didn't mean it, the wind was so tight at that time, I heard that Xu Tian's original company had a lot of teams to sue, I was afraid, so I could only go abroad to avoid it first, and wait for this turmoil to come back." ”

"Then you haven't come back all these years? You haven't taken care of Xu Tian's parents and family?" Lu Weiwei has seen a lot of this kind of profit-seeking, white-eyed wolf-like verbal promises, and nonsense at all.

Jiang Wentao was sad and explained: "I really don't know, I have been abroad for many years, and I have won many international reputations for my super-level performance in various fireworks displays abroad. ”

"I completely forgot at the time that there was a good brother who stayed in prison because he took the blame for me, and he had been living a hard life all these years, and I was ashamed of Xu Tian. ”

When he said this, Jiang Wentao's fists were already crunched, as if he was annoyed by his carelessness.

Officer Wang hurriedly asked, "Then this time you went back to Jiangnan City, and I heard that your mother died?"

"Yes, I haven't been back to my hometown for many years, I miss home, and I miss my mother. Speaking of this, Jiang Wentao couldn't hide the sadness in his heart and said:

"My parents are here, not far away, but I have been staying in a foreign country when my parents need me the most, and I have not seen my mother until the last time, I am not filial. ”

Jiang Wentao cried.

This time, Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, and Officer Wang did not speak again, giving Jiang Wentao some space to vent.

After about ten seconds of sadness, Jiang Wentao, who was streaked with tears, raised his head, looked at Gu Chen and said, "Comrade policeman, aren't you absent-minded when you touch me on both sides? Don't you really want to know why? Okay, I can tell you now." ”

After a pause, Jiang Wentao said: "It is because of my apology to Xu Tian that I have always felt very guilty, and the reason why I moved the fireworks display back to Jiangnan City this time and asked the city's media public account to help me publicize it has three purposes." ”

Jiang Wentao stretched out three fingers and pressed them down in turn: "First, I am selfish, I want to commemorate my dead mother in this way, she said before her death that she wanted to see a fireworks show that her son has prepared for her, but unfortunately, she has not fulfilled this wish until she died, so I want to commemorate him in this way." ”

"What about the second?" asked Lou.

"Second?" Jiang Wentao suddenly sneered and said: "Second, I want to pay tribute to this city, this is the place where I was born and raised, although I am adrift, but my heart has always been in Jiangnan City, so I want all Jiangnan citizens to watch a top-level fireworks feast." ”

"You did it. Gu Chen said: "The fireworks display you brought really opened the eyes of all Jiangnan citizens, and you showed your professionalism." ”

"Thank you. Jiang Wentao also replied ashamedly, and said: "Third, I specifically asked Xu Tian to come to me, and I want to take him with me to make up for the guilt I felt at the beginning." ”

"That's why I have been quietly revealing the address of the hotel where I stayed through the media public account of Jiangnan City, the purpose is to let Xu Tian come to me at the beginning, but unfortunately, until the end of the fireworks display, I didn't see Xu Tian, he seemed to hate me. ”

Gu Chen was stunned and said, "So you have been walking absent-mindedly that day, is this the reason?"

"That's right. Jiang Wentao did not deny it: "Just when I thought I was going to miss meeting Xu Tian, he actually appeared in Binjiang Park." ”

Swallowing his saliva, Jiang Wentao gasped and said: "But this time he is not good at coming, since the time he shook hands, he has been giving me a horse, his strength is very strong, my finger bones were almost crushed by him." ”

"And at this time, it was your sudden appearance that resolved the embarrassment when I met Xu Tian, and after taking a photo with you, Xu Tian and I went to an underground café alone. ”

"There, we greeted each other and learned about his current situation, it turned out that he had been delivering food in Gangnam City, and his life was not good, but he blamed me for all this. ”

"Because I didn't keep my promise at the beginning, so that his parents were under unimaginable pressure, Xu Tian's mother also fell ill at that time, and he passed away, so he was very me. ”

Officer Wang clasped his hands to his chest and said, "That's right, you are a hateful person, you don't fulfill your responsibilities when you promise others, and you actually go abroad and leave it alone, you really have no conscience." ”

"I was wrong, and I know I was wrong. As if angered by Officer Wang's words, Jiang Wentao's fist slammed into the ground: "It's all my fault, I know, but Xu Tian shouldn't be aggressive." ”

He looked up at Gu Chen, as if he was looking for someone to talk to: "Comrade policeman, do you know? I am now famous, I can give him a good life, I can help him, I can give him whatever Xu Tian wants." ”

"But when he knew that I was already a world-renowned fireworks director by using the technology he stole from me back then, he hated me, and the kind of difference between two people in the sky and one in the ground made him feel inferior. ”

"So he wants to take revenge on you?" Gu Chen asked.

"That's right. Jiang Wentao gasped and said: "He asked me for 5 million as soon as he opened his mouth, as his loss back then, he also wants everything from me, including my current technology and team, he wants to unconditionally invest in my company, and he wants to be a major shareholder." ”

"But you have to know that this is impossible, this company is the hard work of my struggle for many years, how can I give it to him like this?"

"Even if I was sorry for him back then, the compensation of 5 million yuan, I was benevolent enough. ”

"But later I learned that he had reached a settlement with the original company, he didn't want my company and money at all, he wanted to bring me down, he wanted me to make me notorious, he wanted everyone to know how I was treacherous back then, how I got to the present by stepping on the shoulders of others, he just wanted me to lose face in front of the whole Jiangnan City. ”
