Officer Wang saw Gu Chen's anxiety.

Generally, there is only one situation, and Gu Chen does not have sufficient evidence in his hand to support his further investigation for the time being.

In other words, Gu Chen only temporarily deduced some useful clues, but to repeatedly prove his ideas, there was obviously some insufficient evidence.

"It's okay, it's faster to take your time, let's not rush. As an old comrade, Officer Wang still comforted Gu Chen with understanding.

Gu Chen's gaze swept over Zhang Xiaoyu, Zhang Xiaomei and Han Fei, as well as Chen Kui, who had just climbed down the stairs.

Gu Chen knew that the murderer was likely to be one of the four people.

But Gao Jian's weight was there, and even no one could strangle him to death and then hang him on the rope net.

If this problem could not be solved, then even if Gu Chen suspected the four people, he would not be able to conclude that any of them were murderers.

After calming down, Gu Chen said again: "Now that the person has been found, I want to check the surrounding clues again to see if there is anything missing." ”

"Yes, this kind of investigation can't be rushed, you have to take it slowly, and work slowly and carefully. The bald Han Fei saw the chef Gao Jian hanging himself on the rope net, he was overly nervous from the beginning, and his mood was still not calm at the moment.

Gu Chen pushed everyone away, walked out of the small room, walked directly through the small door passage, and came to the last section of the eighteenth layer of hell again, that is, the place where the blood puppet was hung.

Turning on the bright flashlight, Gu Chen looked up at the empty rope net and slowly closed his eyes.

Use your specialization-level imagination to instantly immerse yourself in the simulation space.

A rainbow crossed in front of him, and the surrounding scene remained the same, but the haunted house staff and themselves disappeared at the same time.

In the empty passage, a light shone on Gu Chen's body from the top of his head, and at the same time, the corpse props of the blood puppet were also hanging in the rope net in front of Gu Chen.

"Tick, tick. ”

Artificially created water droplets that are constantly dripping from above.

"Now it is known that the reason why the murderer wanted to hang Gao Jian's body on the rope net was because he couldn't move Gao Jian's body, so he could only adopt the principle of proximity and remove the lighter weight blood puppet props. ”

"So the clues to be found now are, first, where is the blood puppet hidden? And also, how did Gao Jian get up? and how was he strangled to death in the attic with a rope?"

"And the rope that stretches out of the window, what's the point?"

Gu Chen asked himself a series of questions, and his voice kept retracting in the simulated space.

Thinking about the abrasion marks on the small window frame in the attic, it is obvious that if the murderer wants to hang Gao Jian, perhaps the rope is tightened from the outside.

"Wait a minute, if there is a stone or something heavier than Gao Jian tied to the other end of the rope, can Gao Jian be strangled to death?"

"But there is a problem, how can such a large stone be moved up to such an attic, you know, to go up to the attic you need to climb an iron ladder. ”

Thinking about the scene just now, Gu Chen snapped his fingers, and soon the space changed, and Gu Chen instantly came to the hut in the simulated space.

At this moment, the iron ladder was placed in front of him.

Gu Chen touched it lightly with his hand, and then pressed it hard, and the iron ladder obviously had a reaction of concave inward.

"No, if you want to strangle Gao Jian, if you tie a stone to the rope, the weight must exceed Gao Jian. ”

However, it was difficult for the thin iron ladder to support the large object in the attic, and there was no trace of friction of the heavy object on the attic. ”

Thinking of this, Gu Chen eliminated the thoughts just now.

"However, if you want to strangle Gao Jian, there must be a special way, is it ......?"

After a few seconds of quiet contemplation, Gu Chen briefly filtered through his mind the various situations he had experienced in the haunted house of Hanshan last night.

It was soon discovered that when everyone drove away, Gu Chen once found a white car parked near the haunted house in Hanshan.

And this white car, when Gu Chen drove the woman in red Zhang Xiaomei back to the haunted house, he obviously didn't notice that it was parked on the side of the road.

This subtle clue made Gu Chen overjoyed again.

"That's right, the location of this car obviously changed after we entered the haunted house, and we didn't notice it when we came before, but it appeared there when we left, which can only show that the white car has moved obviously when everyone is resting and hiding from the rain in the haunted house. ”

Thinking about the drag marks found on the wooden window frame before, I guess I immediately understood it and snapped my fingers again.

Soon, a rainbow crossed in front of me again.

When the rainbow dissipated, the surrounding scene had already appeared outside the haunted house of the cold mountain.

At the same time, according to the simulation in Gu Chen's heart, the tail of the white car in front of him was tied to a rope at the moment.

On the other hand, one side of the rope trap is precisely arranged in several thin wires to form a suspended load.

At this moment, the small window opened, and the drizzle was still falling outside.

Gu Chen snapped his fingers again, and Gao Jian appeared in the window screen.

In the dim environment, he stuck out his head to carefully observe the movement around him, but at this moment, the car suddenly started and pulled the rope trap designed on the window.

At the same time, the rope trap quickly strangled Gao Jian's neck.

Driven by the strength of the trolley, the rope became tighter and tighter, and Gao Jian was directly hoisted above the attic.

Gao Jian struggled desperately, but everyone was in the Pansidong restaurant at this time, and no one heard the movement in the attic.

A moment later, Gao Jian in the attic was hanged there.

At this moment, the murderer slowly reversed the white car, slowly landed Gao Jian's body on the attic floor, and after untying the rope, he quickly drove the white car to the position that Gu Chen saw when he left.

At the same time, the murderer quickly rushed to the top of the attic, cut the excess rope short, and then pushed Gao Jian's body directly to the place where the blood puppet props were originally hung.

Since the rope net was strong enough, Gao Jian was suspended in the air, apparently without any problems.

"I see. ”

After simulating the space pinch and restoring the crime scene at that time, Gu Chen was overjoyed.

At least judging from this simulation clue, the conditions for strangling Gao Jian can be established, but Gu Chen suddenly fell into another anxiety.

"But...... What method did the murderer use to make Gao Jian obediently stick out his head and accurately enter the trap he arranged?"

Thinking of this, Gu Chen once again recalled the scene when he came out of the VR experience area, followed Zhang Xiaomei, and walked all the way to the door of the haunted house in Hanshan.

In the process, Gu Chen seemed to remember that he had stepped on a bead-like object at the location of the small door.

At that time, the object seemed to be bounced to another location under the squeeze of his leather shoes.

"Is this it?"

Gu Chen wasn't very sure, but he also knew that if there was enough way to find an object that attracted Gao Jian to poke his head out and accurately enter the rope trap, it would definitely bring a new breakthrough to the case.

In the simulated scene, quickly simulating various possibilities, Gu Chen snapped his fingers again.

Soon, a rainbow crossed in front of him, and when Gu Chen opened his eyes, Lu Weiwei was standing directly opposite him, staring at him in a daze.

The two faced each other, and it seemed that Lu Weiwei's faint snort could touch her cheeks.

Lu ...... Senior Sister Lu. Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, and quickly took a step back: "Why are you standing here?"

"I think it's strange for you to stand in such a dim place, what are you thinking with your eyes closed?"

"I ...... Just think about it, reminisce, and see if there are any mistakes from last night to now. ”

Gu Chen looked left and right, and quickly changed the topic: "By the way, where is Senior Brother Wang?"

He looked elsewhere for clues, but he didn't find anything new. Lu Weiwei sighed, looked up at the rope net on her head and said, "It's really strange, how did you say that Gao Jian's body was strangled to death and hung on the rope net?

Gu Chen bowed his head and was silent.

Although he had deduced the specific way of Gao Jian's death, if he hadn't found the conditions to lure Gao Jian into the rope sleeve, the previous inference would be insignificant.

Gu Chen didn't answer immediately, just shone a strong flashlight on the ground and began to look for the object he inadvertently stepped on last night.

Seeing Gu Chen looking down, although Lu Weiwei didn't know what to find, she could only keep up with Gu Chen's pace and look down together.

Glancing at Gu Chen's serious search, Lu Weiwei asked, "Senior Brother Gu, what are you looking for?" ”

"An object that resembles a bead, I remember passing by this passage when I came home last night, and it was also in this position that I stepped on. Gu Chen said.

Lu Weiwei frowned slightly, and her mouth was broken: "Bead-shaped object, how could this kind of thing be here?"

Just as the words fell, Lu Weiwei suddenly noticed that there seemed to be several colored objects in the cracks of the iron plate used for drainage under the rope net.

Out of curiosity, Lu Weiwei directly squatted down and picked up a few bead-shaped objects, then turned her head and asked Gu Chen, "Senior Brother Gu, is this what you are talking about?"

"Huh?" Gu Chen looked back, then hurriedly ran forward, took the bead-shaped object in Lu Weiwei's hand, and pinched it between his fingers to observe it carefully.

After a moment, the corners of Gu Chen's mouth showed an upward arc.

Seeing this, Lu Weiwei hurriedly asked Gu Chen, "Senior Brother Gu, is this it, what is this thing?"

"That's right, the object I stepped on last night should be this one. Gu Chen pinched the colored bead-shaped object in front of Lu Weiwei and said, "This thing should be a BB bullet from a toy gun, used for shooting." ”

"BB bomb?" Lu Weiwei held her chin thoughtfully, and then said, "I seem to have heard of it." ”

"I see. Gu Chen breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that the investigation of the case had gone one step closer to what he imagined.

Lu Weiwei didn't know why, and just wanted to ask again.

At this time, Zhang Xiaomei, the woman in red, also walked over from the other side.

"Zhang Xiaomei, you came just in time. Seeing that it was Zhang Xiaomei, Gu Chen hurriedly called her over.

"Officer Gu, have you found a clue?" asked Zhang Xiaomei.

Gu Chen nodded, sold Guan Zi and said, "Don't worry about this first, let me ask you, is there a little white car in your Hanshan haunted house?"

Zhang Xiaomei said: "Yes, there is a little white car, which is a new energy electric vehicle. ”

"That's right. Thinking that it was a new energy vehicle, Gu Chen felt that his guess was completely correct.

When the new energy electric vehicle is started, it is almost noiseless.

In addition, it was still raining lightly outside, and the vehicle started without making much movement at all.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaomei didn't know why, Gu Chen hurriedly asked again: "Then who is driving this car?"

"Usually everyone in our Hanshan haunted house can actually drive, because we all have driver's licenses. ”

"And this car was originally bought by Boss Chen for us to travel, is there any problem?"

Seeing that everyone had a chance to open the car, Gu Chen couldn't help frowning, and asked again, "Then who is the car key?"

"The shared car key is placed in the password iron box in the dormitory passage of the haunted house in Hanshan, and as long as everyone enters the password, they can take out the car key. Zhang Xiaomei said.

Gu Chen didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly patted Zhang Xiaomei on the shoulder and said, "Okay, you can take the car keys now and take us to the car." ”

Zhang Xiaomei was also a little overwhelmed by Gu Chen's abnormal behavior, but looking at Gu Chen's indifferent face, it seemed that Gu Chen had made some new progress in the investigation of the crime scene.

So Zhang Xiaomei nodded and said to Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei: "Okay, you come with me, I'll take you over." ”

Following Zhang Xiaomei's steps, everyone came to the password iron box in the dormitory passage, Zhang Xiaomei entered the password in two by three, and took out the car key.

After that, he took everyone out of the Hanshan haunted house and came to the back row of the haunted house, where the white car was parked.

"We usually park our cars here. The voice fell, and Zhang Xiaomei pressed the unlock button.

After flashing the lights a few times, the vehicle instantly enters the unlocking phase.

Gu Chen didn't go anywhere else, but directly opened the trunk.

In an instant, a green sack aroused Zhang Xiaomei's curiosity: "Huh, what is this thing, how can it be put in the car?"

"It's a blood puppet prop. Gu Chen said.

"Blood puppet props?" Zhang Xiaomei was stunned for a moment, stepped forward suspiciously, unsealed the green sack, and then pulled it out, and the whole person was instantly dumbfounded.

"What's wrong Zhang Xiaomei?" Seeing Zhang Xiaomei standing there stupidly, Lu Weiwei frowned slightly, and couldn't help but ask her curiously.

"This ...... How is this possible?" Zhang Xiaomei looked at Gu Chen with a shocked face, and said thoughtfully: "Officer Gu, you ...... How do you deserve this green sack with blood puppets in it?"

Gu Chen didn't answer immediately, but walked directly to the sack and continued to turn the mouth of the sack outward until he saw the location of the blood puppet.

"Senior Brother Gu, what's going on?" Lu Weiwei on the side was a little confused, and hurriedly asked him.

"It's simple. Gu Chen let go of the sack, and then he couldn't help but say: "After the murderer strangled Gao Jian to death, he hung it in the place that originally belonged to the blood puppet props, so the blood puppet must be removed." ”

"But this involves a problem, how to hide the blood puppet props? Because if you find a place to hide in Hanshan Park, everyone will inevitably look for it in Hanshan Park after discovering that Gao Jian is missing, and the blood puppet is very likely to be found, so the murderer will not do it. ”

"Then why did the murderer put the blood puppet prop in the trunk of the vehicle?" Lu Weiwei asked again.

Gu Chen coughed twice and continued: "Because the murderer didn't have time to deal with and hide the blood puppet props, he could only hide in the car temporarily, and after our police investigation is over, he will find another time to drive the blood puppet away." ”

"Because if the murderer drove away early in the morning, it would inevitably arouse the suspicion of other people in the haunted house in Hanshan, which was not good for the murderer. ”

"So...... The reason why the blood puppet prop was hidden in the trunk of the vehicle was because the murderer didn't have time to deal with it?" asked Lu Weiwei.

Gu Chen nodded: "That's pretty much what it means." ”

"Oh my God, the Blood Puppet is hiding here. Zhang Xiaomei was also puzzled, and then asked Gu Chen: "But Officer Gu, even if you find the blood puppet, how can you find the trace of the murderer? Could it be that the murderer is really a member of our haunted house?"

Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei glanced at each other, and the two fell silent for a short time.

Gu Chen nodded slightly, but did not answer directly.

After all, in the current situation, it is possible to suspect anyone.

Because the car key of this new energy electric vehicle can be used by everyone, Gu Chen has reason to suspect everyone in the haunted house in Hanshan.

Among them is Zhang Xiaomei, a woman in red.

Coming to the rear rear of the vehicle, Gu Chen squatted down and focused on checking the tow hook at the rear of the vehicle.

Fortunately, Gu Chen found that there was an obvious friction mark on the rear tow hook of the vehicle.

The tow hook of the white trolley seems to have never been used before, but after rubbing, visible scratches can still be seen.

Gu Chen raised his head and asked Zhang Xiaomei: "Have you used the rear tail hook of this car?"

"Nope. Zhang Xiaomei shook her head and said with great certainty: "This car has only been bought for half a year, and everyone usually drives it out to buy supplies or something, and I haven't seen anyone use it." ”

"Then I see. Gu Chen nodded silently.

A complete set of modus operandi has come to mind.

The modus operandi simulated in the simulated space has been verified in reality.

As I guessed, the strong pull of the rope comes from this white car.

What Gu Chen has to do now is to return to the previous attic again, restore the rope arrangement, and investigate the personnel of the Hanshan Haunted House who were not at the scene when the murderer was investigated.

Back above the attic.

Officer Wang, Chen Kui, Zhang Xiaoyu, and the bald Han Fei also happened to check out from the Pansidong Restaurant.

Seeing Gu Chen return to the attic, Officer Wang, who was standing below, raised his head and asked, "Gu Chen, did you find anything?"

"I already know how Gao Jian was killed. Gu Chen's affirmative reply came from the attic.

This made Officer Wang, who was originally at a loss, stunned for a moment.

And the owner of the haunted house, Chen Kui, the fat woman Zhang Xiaoyu, and the bald Han Fei, several of them also showed shock, as if this was the best news they heard today.

"Gu Chen, then you wait for me there, I'll come up right away. Officer Wang was a little impatient, and hurriedly held on to the iron ladder and climbed up to the attic step by step.

......
