，

In the office, after a moment of silence, Mario was the first to stand up and said, "Gu Chen, listen to you, I'll call the forensic doctor and ask him to test the corpse's teeth." ”

"Also, keep track of Paul's medical records, preferably dental records. Gu Chen reminded again.

According to his previous speculation, if the deceased was not Paul, then all previous inferences may have to be reconsidered.

After all, under normal circumstances, if the murderer kills Paul, there is no need to burn Paul's whole body.

Gu Chen knew very well that the burning of the corpse was largely to cover up the clues.

And the previous investigation of Lisa, in fact, Gu Chen also found some weird cats.

That's Lisa's performance before and after, in fact, it's very different.

When everyone told Lisa that her ex-husband Paul had been burned to death, Lisa's reaction could be described as shock.

Gu Chen didn't doubt that this was a normal reaction that everyone would have.

But then it turned out to be intriguing......

After explaining her situation to the police and learning that she was excluded from the murderer, Lisa's performance was relaxed.

It's the same as the previous reaction.

The others Gu Chen was not sure, but he must have seen something boring.

But Lisa left Gu Chen with a very headache, that is, the time to kill.

Paul was burned at around 9 o'clock last night, but Gu Chen knew very well that the time of burning did not represent the time of Paul's murder.

But at 9 p.m., someone had to be on the site to do it themselves, and if not Lisa, then maybe an accomplice.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen hurriedly walked to Anna's side and reminded: "I still think Lisa has a problem, or I will go to Lisa's house again, if Paul goes to Lisa frequently, Lisa may not be doing well." ”

"Agree with you. Anna smiled and said, "Actually, I wanted to say it just now, but I didn't expect you to mean it too." ”

"Is that agree?" asked Gu Chen.

Anna nodded: "Lisa hasn't gone far yet, let's go now." ”

With Gu Chen's reminder before, Anna arranged for Mario and Fabio to follow up on the forensic examination.

Anna, on the other hand, asked George's team and Gu Chen's Chinese police team to continue to visit Lisa's home.

Lisa's family lives in a villa area in the suburbs.

Although it is not a high-end community, the community environment is still good, and it belongs to the earliest rich area.

Many of the buildings are old, but the overall plan is staggered and gives it a refreshing feel.

As soon as Lisa entered the house with her front foot, Gu Chen, Anna and the others followed closely with her back foot.

After a few knocks on the door, Lisa, who opened the door, looked stunned and hurriedly asked, "Why are you guys?"

"I'd like to talk to you about Paul, we still have some things to figure out. ”

Anna also gave a direct reason, although it seemed far-fetched, but Lisa reluctantly agreed.

"Come in. Lisa beckoned Anna and George's group to enter the door.

On the other side, Gu Chen had been standing outside, observing the neighbors around Lisa's house.

Gu Chen knew a truth.

If you want to get something out of the mouth of someone who is being suspected, you may only be able to believe half of it.

At least the suspect will only provide clues in his favor.

However, objectivity is emphasized in handling cases, and there are many ways to obtain information.

Sometimes, the information obtained from the suspect's neighbors may be more comprehensive than the suspect's own story.

Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang, and Yuan Shasha stopped in front of the courtyard next door to Lisa's house after turning around a few times.

Lu Weiwei was a little disappointed: "Although it looks good here, there are not many people living there, and after walking for almost two laps, I have seen a stray dog until now, and there is not even a human figure." ”

"Maybe we should knock on the door. Gu Chen chose a building located at the back of Lisa's house and said, "Go and see if there is anyone in the house." ”

"I'm going to knock on the door. Yuan Shasha took the lead, gently pushed open the courtyard fence, walked up the steps and knocked on the door.

But a minute passed intermittently, and there was no movement in the room.

Yuan Shasha also shrugged her shoulders and said helplessly: "Maybe the residents here don't have the habit of being at home during the day." ”

"Maybe it's not off work yet. Gu Chen pointed to an empty garage and said, "If you guess correctly, the master's family should have an off-road vehicle." ”

Just as Gu Chen's words fell, a movement suddenly sounded in the distance, and a white Land Rover was slowly driving and stopped steadily beside Gu Chen.

The window fell, and Gu Chen and the driver were stunned at the same time.

"Simon?"

"Officer Gu?"

Simon hurriedly unbuckled his seat belt, opened the car door and walked in front of Gu Chen: "Officer Gu, why are you here?"

"We assisted the Luo Cheng Police Department and came here to investigate a case. Gu Chen's answer was light and light, he looked at Simon, then looked at the house next to him, and couldn't help but ask him, "This is your home?"

"Right...... yes, this is my home. Simon looked a little embarrassed, but replied in the affirmative.

At this time, Lu Weiwei also walked over from the side and said, "It turns out that you are neighbors with the Lisa reporter from the Los Angeles Post? ”

Glancing at the off-road vehicle behind Simon, Lu Weiwei was quite curious: "But I remember, you drove a black sedan that day." ”

"Haha, because I have two cars and one is parked at the company. Simon seamlessly connected and immediately changed the subject: "Oh yes, you must have come to Lisa, right? What's wrong with her?"

Gu Chen looked back at Lu Weiwei, and the two looked at each other, both of them understood each other's os.

That's right, Lisa and Simon are neighbors, which Gu Chen hadn't thought of before.

Before that, Gu Chen even thought that Simon was Lisa's husband.

After all, watching Simon come to pick up Lisa that day, the relationship between the two seemed to be extraordinarily close, which would inevitably cause misunderstandings.

Out of curiosity, Gu Chen asked Simon, "By the way, Mr. Simon, are you married?"

"Hehe, why do you suddenly ask this question?" Simon smiled indifferently, feeling a little abrupt, but still confessed: "I have been divorced a long time ago and am currently single." ”

"You're single, and so is Ms. Lisa, I thought you were husband and wife. Gu Chen was blunt.

These were Simon's turn to be embarrassed.

He hesitated slightly, as if he was speculating on Gu Chen's thoughts.

However, when he met Gu Chen that day, that is, they didn't have much communication, so Simon's understanding of Gu Chen could only stay in the media to brag.

Simon retracted his gaze and smiled indifferently: "Actually, I am indeed interested in Lisa, and the reason why I moved here is also because of Lisa, and the neighbors around me should know it." ”

"I see. Gu Chen also smiled slightly, which was roughly the same as what he had guessed.

Simon was curious and asked Gu Chen, "But, what are you asking for? Is there something wrong with Lisa's family?"

"His ex-husband Paul, the man who has been coming to Lisa a lot these days, do you know?"

Officer Wang on the side asked.

Simon frowned, thought about it carefully, and then said, "Are you talking about that person?" I know something, and Lisa told me. ”

"Have you seen Paul?" asked Gu Chen.

"Yes. Simon did not deny it, and after walking back and forth twice, he said: "The man came to Lisa with a fierce look, and the two quarreled a few times at the door. ”

"I happened to come home from work a few times, so I went up to inquire about the situation, and only later found out that it was the case. ”

"So how do you deal with it. Yuan Shasha asked quirkily.

After all, if this is an ordinary person, it will be quite embarrassing.

The ex-husband of the sweetheart came to the door to make trouble, and this melon is a bit big.

Simon didn't care: "Since you want to know, I'll tell you, I persuade his ex-husband to leave here immediately, after all, Lisa and him have long since divorced, everyone has their own lives, there is no need to disturb each other." ”

"Paul rejected you, right?" Gu Chen said.

"Yes, you're right again. Simon smiled wryly and said, "I didn't know what Paul was trying to do. ”

Later, after Paul had had enough trouble, he left Lisa's house, and I went to Lisa to ask about the two of them. ”

"Lisa told me that Paul's remarriage was fake, mainly after losing his job in Milan and being in high debt. ”

Paul couldn't stay in Milan any longer, so he came here to escape his debts, saying that he was poor and wanted to ask Lisa for money by remarrying. ”

"I see. Gu Chen nodded silently, and then asked, "Then when was the last time you saw Paul?"

"The last time? This was probably two days ago, because he came to harass Lisa again, and I went up and gave him some money, which was enough for him to spend for a while, so Paul hasn't looked for Lisa since that day. ”

After thinking about it, Simon said, "By the way, it's very likely that Paul will take this money and run outside to be dashing." ”

"You know, that's what he is, that's what he did when he was in Milan, that's why he's in debt, he's not a man with a wealth plan. ”

While everyone was talking, Anna and George also came out of Lisa's house, and the two met Simon at the door and took the initiative to come over.

"Officer Anna, meet again. Simon greeted Anna with a smile.

Anna hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Simon, do you live here too?"

"Lisa and I are neighbors, and everyone knows that. Simon smiled faintly.

Anna ignored any of this, just nodded silently.

George and Simon seemed to know each other, and the two of them had a brief small talk.

At this time, Gu Chen came to Anna's side and asked, "What's the situation inside?"

Anna shook her head and said, "I didn't find anything, the room was the same mess, and there was no trace of deliberate cleaning." ”

"And I've double-checked it twice, and it's all normal, it doesn't quite look like the place where Paul was killed. ”

"And Lisa told me that he saw Paul for the last time two days ago, and that Paul had disappeared after getting a sum of money, and that it wasn't until today that Lisa was summoned by our police that she learned that Paul had been killed. ”

"So, Simon didn't lie?" Gu Chen glanced sideways at Simon and couldn't help but say.

"Gu Chen, what did Simon tell you?" Anna pulled Gu Chen to the side, looked back at Simon, and then asked Simon.

Gu Chen informed Anna of the conversation between him and Simon just now.

Anna then took a deep breath and said, "If that's the case, then that's right, Simon and Lisa's confessions are the same, both of them saw Paul for the last time two days ago. ”

And the money Paul got that day was given by Simon, and it is very likely that he will take the money to get away with it, and he may be able to resolve his hatred with others, so he may be retaliated against, and this should be the case. ”

"Don't jump to conclusions just yet. Gu Chen interrupted Anna's remarks and continued to remind: "Simon and Lisa have a good relationship, and the money given to Paul that day was still given by Simon, if they collude to confess, I don't need to talk about it later." ”

"I know. Anna nodded slightly, hesitated for a moment and said, "I also know an acquaintance near the community, I will go over and ask him later, maybe I can get some of the things I want." ”

"Without further ado, go now. Gu Chen said.

Silently, Anna called back George, said goodbye to Lisa and Simon, and drove together to another location.

The acquaintance Anna said was a sanitation worker who lived near the Lisa community.

The sanitation of this area is basically contracted by the sanitation worker's unit.

Because of his popularity, everyone calls him Uncle Sam.

He's a good old man......

When Anna's assault car stopped at the door of a courtyard, Uncle Sam was drinking coffee in the courtyard at the moment.

He was in a good mood, and when he saw Anna get out of the car, he waved straight away.

"Hey, Anna, long time no see. ”

"Hello, Uncle Sam. Anna smiled sweetly and walked into the courtyard with Gu Chen and the others.

Uncle Sam glanced at Gu Chen, and immediately smiled: "Isn't this Gu Chen, a celebrity in Luocheng, who has always seen you on the news recently." ”

"Hello Uncle Sam. Gu Chen greeted him politely.

Soon, Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha also introduced themselves one after another and got to know Uncle Sam briefly.

Uncle Sam was so enthusiastic that he immediately invited everyone into the yard to taste the coffee he had brewed.

"You're not just here for coffee, are you?" asked Uncle Sam curiously, as he distributed the brewed coffee to the others.

In his opinion, it is not necessarily a good thing for the police to come to the door.

However, as a good person in the community, he is also the backbone of community sanitation.

Sam's popularity in this area naturally has nothing to say.

It is precisely on this basis that the police like to get information from him for many things.

"I'll tell you the truth. Taking a sip of coffee, Anna said helplessly: "There was a murder last night, and Paul, the ex-husband of Lisa in your community, was burned to death at a suburban construction site. ”

"We came to investigate, but we didn't get much, so I wanted to ask you, what is the situation between this Lisa and Included?"

"Also, what do you think of Simon?"

A series of questions caught Uncle Sam by surprise.

But after a few seconds of brief recollection, he quickly made his point out.

"It turned out to be Lisa's ex-husband Paul, this person was notorious and had a very bad reputation before, and it is probably not a good thing to come back to Lisa this time. ”

"Paul has a serious tendency towards Lisa, we know this, I don't want to ask about Paul now, I just want to ask about Lisa. Gu Chen grasped the main point and continued to ask: "Uncle Sam, does Lisa like watching movies?"

"Watching a movie?" Uncle Sam was stunned, and said a little inexplicably: "Lisa is a very homely person, she never goes to the movies, and she goes to accompany her children after work." ”

"Then does she often take her children to the movies?" Gu Chen threw out the next question again.

"No, it won't. Sam's answer was also crisp and straightforward: "Lisa's loan for this house has not been paid off, and now she is alone with her children, her life is stressful, and her income is basically paying off her debts." ”

"So, not to mention watching movies, even taking the children out to eat is quite rare, Lisa likes to stay at home and read, I know this. ”

"Then will she sing late into the night with her friends, especially with her children?" Gu Chen continued to ask.

Uncle Sam snorted coldly, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Gu Chen, what are you talking about? Didn't I tell you before? Lisa is a very homely person, and she is usually a miser, and she has not even paid the health bill for several months." ”

"Just like her, you still expect Lisa to take the kids to the movies, to eat, and to sing late into the night? ”

Listening to Uncle Sam's answer, Anna and George were also surprised.

It feels like Lisa told everyone about last night's whereabouts before, and now it seems that it looks like a deliberate acting.

A stingy mother, on the night Paul was burned to death, took her children to watch movies, eat Chinese food, and sing late into the night with colleagues.

All of these seem to be deliberately disguised, and the behavior is extremely abnormal.

From this point of view, both Anna and George felt bored.

"Gu Chen. Anna looked up at him and asked, "You mean that Lisa's behavior is too unusual and she is trying to hide it?"

"Yes, and Simon has a problem with that too. Gu Chen said bluntly and said lightly: "Simon is pursuing Lisa, and he moved here for Lisa's sa. ”

It can be seen that in order to pursue Lisa, he also made a lot of money, even bought a house, and the two became neighbors. ”

If Lisa is abnormal, then Simon should not be able to get rid of it, because in the past few days, Paul's sudden appearance should have disrupted the previous intimate relationship between the two. ”

And I heard Simon say that Paul came to Lisa's house, and there were several troubles, all of which were settled by Simon, and Paul came to ask for money, don't expect him to be noble. ”

Anna nodded slightly and said, "If you say so, then Simon is indeed tired." ”

"But both of them had seen Paul for the last time two days ago, which is very troublesome, at least we should know where Paul was killed, where the first scene was, and that's the most important problem we need to solve now. ”

"I don't think so. Gu Chen crossed his hands in front of his chest and directly interrupted: "I think it's better to wait for the autopsy, I feel that this corpse is getting more and more interesting." ”
