Police cars and social vehicles are intertwined around the vegetable field, and the whole area is crowded and crowded.

Many auxiliary police officers began to evacuate the surrounding crowds, and the cordon was extended outward again and again.

In the end, the crowd was nearly 30 meters away from the scene.

At the same time, there are also police officers around to come to support.

Beside the river, Gu Chen seriously recorded Lao Bai's statement, this was the first witness to find the body, and it was also the clue provider.

His words and deeds will play a key role in the case.

"That is, two days ago you saw a tall and thin man talking to a woman near the river? Can you be sure that the woman was the corpse she is now?"

"No...... No. Lao Bai waved his hand, a little nervous and said: "If I had seen it clearly, I would definitely tell you who it was, but it was late at that time, the sun had set, and the light was not good." ”

"Besides, I didn't pay much attention to the fact that I had finished pouring the food and wanted to hurry home for dinner, but I was sure that I didn't know the man, and I had never seen him here. ”

"Then can you see his appearance clearly?" Gu Chen asked again.

Lao Bai was still frowning, his face was a little heavy, and after thinking for a few seconds, he shook his head: "I don't remember it clearly, it seems that I was still wearing a peaked cap, and the brim of the hat was very low, I thought it was the developer of this land." ”

"After all, this vegetable land has already been sold, but the developer has not started construction, and it is close to the river, so we local people came to temporarily get some vegetable land. ”

Lao Bai's answer was rather vague, or unclear.

Based on these clues alone, it is certainly difficult to determine the basic characteristics of this stranger.

So Gu Chen turned the transcript to the last page, faced the location where the female corpse was dug up at that time, and asked, "Mr. Bai, where did you see those two strangers appear two days ago?"

"Over there. Lao Bai pointed to an open tunnel.

"Good. Gu Chen took out a short drawing pen from his pocket and began to trace the outline on the white paper.

"What was the height of the man at the time, and the height of the woman, what was they dressed like at the time......

Gu Chen began to inquire in detail about the specific appearance characteristics of the two.

Although Lao Bai was a little confused, under Gu Chen's guidance, he could still roughly remember the appearance characteristics of the two.

About ten minutes have passed, and Gu Chen has already shown the scene that Lao Bai saw that night in the form of hand-drawn drawings.

"Look at it. Gu Chen took the transcript to Lao Bai and said, "Is this what it looks like?"

"Huh?" Lao Bai looked at the drawing, and the whole person couldn't help but be surprised, and then said to Gu Chen: "Comrade policeman, you seem to have drawn it." ”

"So that's the case?" Gu Chen asked.

Lao Bai nodded: "It's very close, and the proportions of the two people's bodies are probably like this." ”

"And this dress. Lao Bai suddenly squinted his eyes and moved his head closer: "Yes, this man was wearing this style of leather jacket at that time, exactly like what you painted." ”

"Thank you very much. Gu Chen took back the transcript, shook hands with Lao Bai and said, "If you still think of anything, please remember to call our criminal investigation team 3, this is our phone number." ”

Gu Chen handed him a business card with the fixed phone number of the Third Criminal Investigation Group of the Furong Branch, and said, "You just say that you are looking for Officer Gu, and they will know." ”

"Yes, Officer Gu. Lao Bai took the business card and began to observe it in his hand.

Over there, a commercial police car also happened to drive in from outside the cordon, Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei both took the initiative to step forward to greet them, and Gu Chen also quickened his pace to follow.

After the commercial police car stopped steadily on the side of the road, Forensic Doctor Liu walked out of the car with a forensic assistant and a toolbox.

"Forensic Doctor Liu. Officer Wang took the initiative to come forward and greet: "You are here." ”

"What's the situation at the scene?" Forensic Doctor Liu didn't stop too long, and walked directly past Officer Wang's side and walked towards the target area.

Gu Chen followed and introduced: "It is preliminarily inferred that the deceased is a woman aged about 65 years old, the cause of death is that she was injured by a sharp weapon and died of excessive blood loss, and the deceased is the 'Aunt Mei' we have been looking for before." ”

When he heard Gu Chen's explanation, Forensic Doctor Liu, who was walking, suddenly stopped, glanced at Gu Chen in disbelief, and asked, "Is it Aunt Mei?"

"That's right, it's her. Gu Chen affirmed again.

"Alas, this guy has done all the bad things, and she can't imagine this kind of retribution, so she deserves it. Forensic Doctor Liu sighed, stretched out his hand and pointed ahead, "Let's go, take me to have a look." ”

Then Gu Chen led the way and took Forensic Doctor Liu and the forensic assistant to Zhang Xiaomei's body.

Gu Chen said: "This should be the first scene, there are witnesses who have seen that two strangers came here two days ago, one of them is very similar to the appearance of the deceased Zhang Xiaomei, so I preliminarily infer that the deceased may have been killed here two nights ago." ”

"Hmm!" Forensic Doctor Liu nodded, and then said: "What you said may be reasonable, but if she was killed two days ago, I still need to bring her back to the technical department for further testing." ”

"Then there's Forensic Doctor Lao Liu. Officer Wang said.

Everyone carried out a preliminary handover at the scene......

After examining the scene, Forensic Doctor Liu put Zhang Xiaomei's body into a body bag and carried it into a commercial vehicle with the help of several auxiliary police officers.

Subsequently, the crowd began to evacuate, and Gu Chen also returned to the third group office with clues with Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei.

Three groups in the office.

Gu Chen took out the whiteboard, held the portrait he had hand-painted at the scene with a colored magnet, and turned to Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei, who were sitting side by side, and asked, "Senior Brother Wang, Senior Sister Lu, who do you think this man will be?"

"It can't be Zhang Wenqing, right?" Lu Weiwei held her cheeks and asked with a slight frown: "I feel that both my figure and my back are somewhat similar to the accountant Zhang Wenqing we met in the Zhangjia Village Committee of Meishan Town a few days ago." ”

"Well, that's right. Officer Wang also said: "According to the proportions of your portrait, it is indeed somewhat similar to this Zhang Wenqing, but it is ......."

Officer Wang turned his gaze to Gu Chen again and asked him, "But Gu Chen, is your hand-drawn painting accurate?"

"According to the eyewitness Lao Bai's statement, it is basically restored, I have also shown him, and repeatedly confirmed, according to the eyewitness Lao Bai's own words, the similarity is close to 80%, so I don't think there should be a big problem. ”

"Senior Brother Gu, if it's you, what do you think?" Lu Weiwei also wanted to hear Gu Chen's opinion.

Gu Chen said with a smile: "Actually, when I was painting at the time, according to the statement of the eyewitness Lao Bai, I had already associated the image of this strange man with Zhang Wenqing, the accountant of the Zhangjia Village Committee of Meishan Town. ”

"Later, the more I painted, the more similar it became, and it became what it is now, so in general, I painted it according to Zhang Wenqing's general demeanor, and it is no wonder that the eyewitness Lao Bai said that the similarity is very high, I think this matter should be inseparable from Zhang Wenqing. ”

"You mean...... Is it very likely that Zhang Xiaomei died in the hands of Zhang Wenqing?" Officer Wang's eyes lit up, and he seemed to hear clues from Gu Chen's words.

"That's right. Gu Chen took out the painting brush in his hand, circled the man in the painting and said: "This stranger is very likely to be the murderer, and according to the statement of the eyewitness Lao Bai at the time, it was the man who led the woman to the river, which shows that the two are acquaintances." ”

Looking at Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei, Gu Chen said again: "Just imagine, as a marginal figure in Zhangjia Village, how many acquaintances does Zhang Xiaomei have in the village?

Lu Weiwei nodded, and said: "According to the attitude of the people of Zhangjia Village towards her, there should be no friends with a strong relationship, and these villagers looked down on Zhang Xiaomei before." ”

And according to Zhang Wenqing's rhetoric at that time, Zhang Xiaomei's life style at that time had some problems, so the relationship with the women in Zhangjia Village has always been very stiff. ”

"Even if she makes some money in other places now, maybe everyone's opinion of her has changed, but if you want to accept Zhang Xiaomei, I don't think it maybe. ”

But she is such a marginalized figure, but she Zhang Xiaomei has a good relationship with Zhang Wenqing, the accountant of the village committee, and Zhang Wenqing also holds the key to Zhang Xiaomei's home. ”

"In this way, I can think of a person who has a good relationship with Zhang Xiaomei, and there is only Zhang Wenqing, of course, maybe there is a strange man in Zhangjiacun who is very similar to the figure in Senior Brother Gu's picture?"

Seeing that Lu Weiwei expressed her opinion, Officer Wang also hurriedly said: "I agree with Lu Weiwei's opinion, we can start with Zhang Wenqing first, after all, this is a person in the village who knows Zhang Xiaomei's situation very well." ”

"Even if it's not him Zhang Wenqing, we can check other people based on Zhang Wenqing's understanding of the people in the village to see if there are any men with similar stature and behavior. ”

Gu Chen nodded and continued to add: "According to what the eyewitness Lao Bai said, this man's behavior seems to be extremely indifferent, and the woman who is suspected to be Zhang Xiaomei seems to be like a subordinate in front of her. ”

And the conversation between the two was always at first the strange man facing the river, and the woman standing behind him, as if reporting work, of course, there was some argument between the two. ”

It was precisely because of these behaviors that Lao Bai, an eyewitness at the time, mistook the two for developers and thought they were discussing land development. ”

"Gu Chen, what you said is very important. Officer Wang suddenly sat up straight, and the whole person couldn't help but say excitedly: "From this point of view, we can see a few points. ”

"First, if the woman at that time was the deceased Zhang Xiaomei, then this man was obviously her boss. ”

Second, the man was extremely arrogant and conceited, and seemed to be able to completely control the woman, so he even spoke with his back to the woman, which shows that the relationship between the two is not an equal relationship at all, but a superior-subordinate relationship. ”

"Thirdly, the man's ability to invite the woman to such a remote vegetable field to talk is very revealing, which shows that the man had murderous intentions at that time, that is, the woman had something very serious and threatened the man's safety. ”

Therefore, in order to protect himself, the man used the excuse to ask the woman out, and finally committed the murder at night, so as to hide people's eyes. ”

After all, Officer Wang is an old comrade, and he can still accurately grasp the analysis of some issues.

Gu Chen couldn't help but clapped his hands and said, "What Senior Brother Wang said is very good. ”

"Haha, where is it, it's the clues you Gu Chen provided. "Officer Wang has also learned Gu Chen's modesty and is no longer pretentious.

Lu Weiwei also hurriedly said: "That means that everyone has the same opinion? This Zhang Wenqing is likely to be Zhang Xiaomei's upline, right?"

Gu Chen nodded.

Officer Wang nodded.

Lu Weiwei snapped her fingers and said: "Senior Brother Gu said before that this Zhang Wenqing has a bit of a taste of acting, and I didn't pay much attention to it when I thought about it, but now according to your analysis, I think Zhang Wenqing really has a big problem." ”

Gu Chen nodded and said: "The most important thing now is the result of Forensic Doctor Liu, as long as the specific time of death of the deceased Zhang Xiaomei can be determined, we can carry out a targeted investigation of Zhang Wenqing." ”

Then according to Zhang Wenqing's location at the time, if he went to the vegetable field at the time of the deceased's death, it must be suspicious. Officer Wang hurriedly added.

"That's right!" Gu Chen also smiled: "Now it's up to Forensic Doctor Liu." ”

As soon as the words fell, Gu Chen's mobile phone on the table rang.

He quickly took the phone and took a look, and it showed that it was Forensic Doctor Liu.

Gu Chen showed the screen to Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei, and said with a smile: "Forensic Doctor Liu may also be Cao Cao's attribute, this call is very timely." ”

"There must be a result, after all, his forensic Liu's testing experience has made him unable to keep a low profile, and he can judge the time of death in many ways. Lu Weiwei also believes that this is good news.

Gu Chen didn't care too much, he directly clicked on the hands-free, and then put the phone on the table and said, "Forensic Doctor Liu, how are the results of your investigation over there?"

"Gu Chen, as you judged, the deceased was indeed injured by a sharp weapon, and the cause of death was excessive blood loss, and he was buried in the soil by the murderer after death. "Forensic Doctor Liu's rhetoric over there is also consistent with Gu Chen's original inference.

"What about the time of death?" Gu Chen hurriedly asked again.

"The time of death should have been two days ago, probably ...... Between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m., that's the smallest time frame I can judge, and I'll give you a test report later. Forensic doctor Liu said.

Gu Chen smiled with relief: "It's good to have this time, thank you Forensic Doctor Liu." ”

"You're welcome, I'm also based on what you said, I will notify you as soon as there is a result, and I will make up for it after the report. Forensic Doctor Liu also smiled.

After a few polite greetings to each other, the two sides hung up the phone directly.

"There are results. Gu Chen hurriedly opened the transcript and filled in the time range of death in the bottom corner of the back of the transcript.

"That is to say, we can now investigate the suspect Zhang Wenqing according to this time period. Lu Weiwei said.

Officer Wang stood up directly, began to take the equipment on the wall, and responded with a smile: "Do you know why don't you hurry?"

......

......

One hour later, Gu Chen drove to the gate of the Zhangjia Village Committee in Meishan Town again.

At this moment, a chubby man happened to walk out with a document.

He turned around and checked with the people in the house a few times before heading for a pickup truck outside.

Seeing the police visiting, the whole person was also stunned.

"Is Zhang Wenqing here?" Gu Chen stepped forward directly and asked the fat man.

"In ...... In. The fat man quickly turned around and shouted into the room, "Wenqing!"

"What's the matter?" Zhang Wenqing complained from inside the house.

"A comrade police officer is coming for you. The fat man continued to say loudly, and then drove away in the pickup truck......

At this time, I found a tall and thin man in the house, and hurriedly walked to the door to check the situation.

Seeing that Gu Chen and the three of them were the three policemen who came to the village committee to inquire about Zhang Xiaomei last time, Zhang Wenqing hurriedly went out to greet him: "Yo? Aren't these the three police comrades who came to our village committee last time? Why? This time they also came to inquire about Zhang Xiaomei's whereabouts?"

Gu Chen looked at Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang beside him, but no one responded immediately.

Seeing that the police didn't speak, Zhang Wenqing was quite embarrassed, and immediately said: "I'm sorry, comrade police, Zhang Xiaomei you are looking for, she ...... She hasn't been back recently, and if she does, I'll send her to your Seremban branch in person, what do you think?"

Zhang Wenqing is quite polite, and he can still remember what the police told him.

Gu Chen smiled and said, "No need, this Zhang Xiaomei, we have found it." ”

"What...... What? You have found it?" was also taken aback by Gu Chen's words, Zhang Wenqing's whole face stiffened, and he asked weakly: "Since you have found Zhang Xiaomei, then police comrades, what are you doing here?"

"Let me tell you that. Officer Wang walked up to Zhang Wenqing leisurely with his hands on his back and said, "We found Zhang Xiaomei, but unfortunately, when we found her, she was already a corpse." ”

"Dead ...... Dead?" Zhang Wenqing was also quite shocked, and held his forehead in disbelief: "This ...... Why did this good man die all of a sudden?"

He looked at Gu Chen, then at Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei, and asked weakly, "Police...... Comrade policeman, this ...... What the hell is going on? Why did Zhang Xiaomei die? Who did it?"

also saw that Zhang Wenqing was overly shocked, and it seemed that when he heard the news, the whole person was also taken aback.

Gu Chen didn't continue to talk about Zhang Xiaomei, but said lightly: "We are a little thirsty, can you pour us some water to drink?"

Gu Chen suddenly moved the topic away, Zhang Wenqing was also stunned for a moment, and then quickly calmed down and said, "Yes...... Yes, there is tea in the office, I'm going to make it for you, three of you, please come in. ”

Like last time, Zhang Wenqing's attitude towards the police at this moment was also extremely respectful, and he immediately led everyone to the accounting office.

He took out a pot of tea from the bookcase, brewed it for the three of them, put it in front of several people, and then asked, "Comrade policeman, how did she Zhang Xiaomei die?"

......
