I am a super cop

Chapter 1048 The Hypocrite and the Female Neighbor

Half study room, half live room.

Gu Chen first gave up the bookshelf part and started to investigate from the direction of the live broadcast room.

Especially the dressing table, this is the area that Gu Chen focused on checking.

But when Gu Chen checked all the areas, he found that the drawer of the dressing table was locked, but there was no key.

Fortunately, Yuan Shasha found a bunch of keys in a cosmetic box and handed them to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen also tried according to the size of the key.

Finally, he used one of the small keys to open the drawer of the dressing table.

There are mostly some personal items in the drawers, some scattered cosmetics, and some notebooks.

Gu Chen moved these notebooks to the table, and the three immediately started to read them.

The book in Gu Chen's hands records Zhou Lingling's research and analysis on social platforms, mainly recording some live broadcasting skills and summaries, as well as issues that need attention when shooting works.

Yuan Shasha's book mainly records the materials and equipment needed for Zhou Lingling's live broadcast, including the choice of clothing, and some shooting skills of the set.

There were not many problems with the notebooks in the hands of both of them.

So everyone turned their attention to Police Officer Wang.

However, Police Officer Wang frowned slightly while flipping through the transcript.

He apparently found out more from this transcript.

"Senior Brother Wang." Seeing that Police Officer Wang was engrossed, Gu Chen reminded and asked, "What did you find?"

"This seems to be Zhou Lingling's diary. She writes well." Officer Wang said.

"What about the content?" Gu Chen asked again.

"Still reading." Officer Wang speeded up and began to read continuously.

Finally, simply turn to the latest page and read the last diary quickly.

The diary was written a day ago, but Police Officer Wang saw something different until he showed the notebook in front of Gu Chen and Yuan Shasha.

"Look what I found?"

Gu Chen was puzzled, took the notebook and looked at it, and his expression was suddenly stunned.

"This..." Gu Chen couldn't help frowning.

What is recorded in the diary is Zhou Lingling's details about her married life.

So Gu Chen quickly flipped through again from the beginning, using his master-level memory to quickly look up all the contents in the diary.

I also got a general understanding of what Zhou Lingling wanted to express.

The above records in detail the process of the two from acquaintance to love, and then to the breakdown of their relationship.

He also pointed out that her husband, Hu Zhengming, had violent tendencies and wanted to kill himself many times, and expressed that he was desperate.

"The diary was written a day ago." Gu Chen looked up at the two of them.

"Could the murderer be Hu Zhengming?" Officer Wang frowned.

Looking back now, it turns out that was indeed the case.

Hu Zhengming doesn't even know his wife at least, and he doesn't look like a competent husband at all.

If it is said that work has caused a gap between the two, everyone may believe it.

But what is the situation with violent tendencies and wanting to kill his wife many times?
But now that his wife suddenly disappeared, Hu Zhengming was extremely anxious again.

This may be an illusion deliberately concealed after the murder.

Gu Chen also had doubts about Hu Zhengming before, but now it seems that this kind of thinking is getting stronger in his heart.

After handing over the transcript to Yuan Shasha, Gu Chen asked Yuan Shasha to pack it in a forensic bag, while he led everyone downstairs.

At this moment, Lu Weiwei and Officer Ding were still by Hu Zhengming's side, and Hu Zhengming seemed to be still immersed in the family misfortune.

Gu Chen didn't ask directly, but walked around in front of Hu Zhengming and sat down slowly.

Lu Weiwei glanced at Gu Chen who came back, and asked, "How about Junior Brother Gu? Did you find anything?"

"One thing, Zhou Lingling's room may be Dr. Hu's former study." Gu Chen also said casually.

Dr. Hu, who obviously didn't know, nodded silently and admitted: "That's right, that place used to be my study, and then it was used by my wife for live broadcasting, so I went there less often."

"Doctor Hu, do you know your lover?" Gu Chen asked.

Hu Zhengming was stunned, not understanding what Gu Chen meant, he also spread his hands with question marks.

"Officer Gu, what do you mean..."

"What's your lover's blood type?" Gu Chen asked casually.

Hu Zhengming suddenly froze...

He started to think about it, but couldn't think of it all the time, so he shook his head and gave up.

"Okay." Gu Chen seemed a little disappointed, so he asked again: "Then when is your lover's birthday? You should know that, right?"

"Birthday?" Hu Zhengming was stunned again, scratching the back of his head in worry.

Yuan Shasha couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help complaining: "I said Dr. Hu, don't you remember this wife's birthday?"

"No... not very clear." Hu Zhengming was a little embarrassed and shook his head directly.

Gu Chen was a little helpless, and continued to ask him: "Have you ever hit your lover?"

"Ah?" Hearing Gu Chen's words, Hu Zhengming seemed unprepared.

Gu Chen asked again: "Let me ask you, have you ever hit your lover?"

"Uh...no, no." Hu Zhengming spoke hesitantly, looking a little flustered.

However, this sentence made Officer Ding and Lu Weiwei, who were not aware of the situation, instantly see the problem.

Gu Chen continued to ask him: "Are you sure?"

"Indeed... sure." Hu Zhengming said.

"Okay." Gu Chen lay on the sofa and said jokingly, "Then, is there a crisis in the relationship between you and your lover?"

"You mean?" Hu Zhengming didn't quite understand.

Police officer Wang said directly: "For example, the relationship has reached a point of irreversibility, and there is no relationship between the two of them."

"No, no, we have a good relationship." Maybe he realized that he had no confidence in saying this.

After all, he said before that he and his wife could not speak a few words every day, so Hu Zhengming said again: "It's just that the topics are getting less and less, and the communication is getting weaker and weaker."

"But you still beat her, and you still wanted to kill her several times, right?" Officer Wang felt that Hu Zhengming seemed to be a hypocrite, and he could tell a lot from his tone of voice.

So I didn't come to the point, and asked straight to the point.

Now it was Hu Zhengming's turn to be dazed, and he couldn't recover from Officer Wang's questioning for a long time.

As soon as Police Officer Wang reached out, Yuan Shasha took out the notebook wrapped in the evidence collection bag and handed it to him.

Police officer Wang also held it in his hand and raised it, saying, "We found this from the drawer of your lover's dressing table in the live broadcast room. It records in detail your relationship from falling in love to getting married, to breaking up, until you started to treat her badly." Stop domestic violence, and tried to kill her several times."

"What? I raped her domestically? Want to kill her?" Hearing Officer Wang's remarks, Hu Zhengming became anxious immediately, and quickly retorted:
"There is absolutely no such thing. You must have made a mistake. Although my relationship with Zhou Lingling has faded, it is not possible to do such a thing, right? You must have made a mistake."

Seeing Hu Zhengming's irritable mood, he seemed a bit dissatisfied.

Gu Chen directly took the notebook from Police Officer Wang, opened it and showed it in front of Hu Zhengming, and asked, "Look at this handwriting, is it written by Zhou Xiaoling?"

Hu Zhengming heard the words, took a closer look, and immediately frowned slightly.

Gu Chen continued to ask him: "Yes or not?"

"It's... isn't it?"

"What is right? Yes it is, it is not it is not, can you make it clearer?" Lu Weiwei hated domestic violence men the most in her life.

When she knew that Hu Zhengming had a tendency to domestic violence and even wanted to kill her own wife, Lu Weiwei couldn't sit still.

No matter how handsome Hu Zhengming was before, his image in front of Lu Weiwei instantly became ugly.

Hu Zhengming was really in a hurry, and didn't know how to explain it for a while, but said inarticulately: "This...the handwriting is indeed Zhou Lingling's, but...but the content doesn't match?"

"What do you mean by content inconsistency?" Gu Chen casually flipped to the front page and asked Hu Zhengming, "The first time you met was a gathering of friends, right?"

"Yes... yes." Hu Zhengming nodded.

Gu Chen then flipped the page again and said, "The first date alone is at the haunted house in the park, right?"

"Yes... yes." Hu Zhengming nodded in a cold sweat.

Gu Chen turned the page again, and said, "The first time you confessed your love to her was in the park grove?"

Hu Zhengming nodded silently, but dared not make a sound.

"The first kiss was on a boat in a lake?"

Hu Zhengming began to wipe his forehead.

"The first time you proposed to her, was it at the movie theater?" Gu Chen continued to ask him.

Hu Zhengming nodded, but he didn't dare to raise his head.

Gu Chen closed the notebook and threw it to Yuan Shasha beside him: "Are you still saying that the content is inconsistent? Only you and Zhou Lingling should know about this kind of thing, right?"

"Yes...that's right." Hu Zhengming took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then said, "But, I didn't intend to kill Zhou Lingling."

"That's because you don't think so, because you have abused her at home, and you may have said it, but you don't remember it now." Lu Weiwei also said angrily.

Hu Zhengming seemed to be unable to clean himself up by jumping into the Yellow River, and tried his best to defend himself: "This is definitely not the case, there must be something wrong, I... I didn't want to kill her..."

Gu Chen also saw that Hu Zhengming started talking nonsense, and seemed to be very emotional, so he hurriedly asked again: "Then I'll ask you again, have you hit her?"

This time, the living room seemed unusually quiet.

Hu Zhengming was stunned for a long time, but he chose to shake his head again: "I...I don't."

"It seems that you don't shed tears when you see the coffin." It felt like Hu Zhengming had been pretending to be a gentleman for a long time, and he seemed to believe it.

Lu Weiwei shook her head, also very disappointed.

Yuan Shasha turned her head and asked Gu Chen: "Brother Gu, what should we do now?"

"Look at him." After hesitating for a few seconds, Gu Chen thought about asking the neighbors of Hu Zhengming's house to see what they had to say.

So he arranged for Officer Ding and Yuan Shasha to stay where they were, while he took Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang to the villa next door.

Hu Zhengming's family lived in a row of villas on the far left, and there was a family next door.

Originally Gu Chen wanted to knock on the door, but it seemed that the other party had been standing at the door observing for a long time.

Seeing the police approaching the door, a woman in her early 30s opened the door directly.

"Hello." Gu Chen took the initiative to greet her.

The woman also nodded silently: "Hi, may I ask, what can I do?"

"The hostess next door is missing. I want to know something about the situation with you. Is it convenient?" Gu Chen didn't want to go around the bush, so he said straightforwardly.

The female neighbor hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded silently, gave up her position and said, "Then you all come in, come in and talk."

"Thank you." Nodding, Gu Chen looked around for a week, then followed the female neighbor into the house.

The two families lived in a townhouse. There were four families, and each house had a small yard with a garden in front of it.

The heroine's house was very quiet, so Gu Chen asked her curiously: "By the way, you live alone in your house?"

"My husband is on a business trip these days." The woman poured a few glasses of water from the water dispenser and handed them to the three of them, and motioned for everyone to sit down casually.

Gu Chen was a little curious when he saw the woman's figure.

Reminiscent of that day in the restaurant, there seemed to be a short-haired woman sitting with long-haired Zhou Lingling.

But at that time, everyone was sitting at the next table, and there was Zhou Lingling between them, so Gu Chen didn't pay attention to what the other person looked like.

Before the two left, Gu Chen saw the backs of Zhou Lingling and the short-haired woman.

For the police, it is also a basic skill to identify and remember strangers by their figure and walking posture.

So Gu Chen asked her curiously: "A few nights ago, did you have dinner with Zhou Lingling?"

"A few days ago?" The short-haired woman thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, I had dinner with Zhou Lingling."

"At that time she gave the three people at the next table a business card of her husband, do you remember?" Gu Chen asked again.

The woman recalled again, so she said, "Could it be you who were sitting at the opposite table?"

"That's right." Gu Chen nodded slightly, and said with a light smile: "It seems that this is not the first time we have met."

"Oh, I answered a phone call at that time, but I didn't pay much attention to it. It happened to be time to check out again, so I left in a hurry."

After exchanging pleasantries, the woman asked Gu Chen: "By the way, there was such a big commotion next door just now, did Zhou Lingling disappear?"

"That's right, a lot of wiped blood was found at home."

"What?"

Before Gu Chen could finish speaking, the woman was suddenly shocked: "This...why is this still bleeding?"

Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang looked at each other, and Lu Weiwei quickly answered and asked, "Are you familiar with them as husband and wife?"

The woman frowned slightly, and said lightly, "I'm fairly familiar with Zhou Lingling, but I don't know her husband very well. After all, they have only moved here for a few months."

"Then what do you think of her husband?" Officer Wang also asked.

"Being human?" The woman felt a little embarrassed for herself, but said truthfully: "Anyway, I feel that the relationship between the two of them is not good, and I heard that her husband is becoming more and more indifferent to him, and even beat her and said he wanted to kill her. "

"Especially yesterday, when she came to my house to borrow salt, I found that Zhou Lingling had a wound on her face, so I asked her what happened, and Zhou Lingling told me that it was her husband who beat her. That man is really cruel, such a beautiful wife It’s really not a thing to fight when you say it.”

Hearing the woman's words, Gu Chen nodded slightly. After recording these things, he asked again: "That is to say, Zhou Lingling's husband did domestic violence against her? Is that true?"

"Yeah." The woman nodded silently: "If it's not domestic violence, her Zhou Lingling's face will be beaten like that? I feel like I really have to do it."

"Besides, Zhou Lingling has been very depressed recently. She said that her husband has been in a bad mood recently and always took it out on her. Not only did he beat her, he even said several times that he wanted to kill her."

"Damn, in the end she was so frightened that she didn't dare to resist, so she just let him bully her. If Zhou Lingling hadn't stopped her, I would have called the police."

Speaking of Hu Zhengming next door, it seems that the woman is angry.

These things seemed to have been held in her heart for a long time, and she wanted to speak out.

It just so happened that the police came to the door today, and the woman didn't complain, feeling that it was time to teach the bad guy next door a lesson.

Gu Chen nodded silently, then asked again: "Does Zhou Lingling usually stay at home?"

"Yeah, she's a housekeeper and rarely goes out," the woman said.

"Then have you never had any other friends? I mean besides you." Officer Wang also asked.

The woman hesitated for a few seconds, then shook her head: "I'm not very clear about this, but she doesn't seem to have any friends here. After all, she lives here, so there are few neighbors, and she, Zhou Lingling, likes to stay at home all day. It's almost shutting itself down."

Glancing secretly outside, the woman said to Gu Chen again: "Comrade police, isn't Zhou Lingling missing? Didn't you also say that there were a lot of wiped blood in her house? It must have been done by that heartless man."

"He said a few days ago that he wanted to kill Zhou Lingling. Who else would have done it if he didn't? This guy should be destroyed."

"Okay, thank you very much for your cooperation." I feel that if I don't stop, the woman will start the swearing mode.

Gu Chen came here to investigate and collect evidence, not to listen to her complaints, which would easily affect his own judgment.

But at least Gu Chen is clear now. First, Zhou Lingling was indeed beaten by Hu Zhengming, which confirms what Zhou Lingling recorded in her diary, including being domestically abused by Hu Zhengming and even threatened with death by Hu Zhengming.

Even Zhou Lingling's neighbors can testify to this point.

Another point is that Hu Zhengming is lying, he has clearly committed domestic violence, but he said that it was just indifference, not domestic violence prevarication.

It can be seen that Hu Zhengming did not tell the truth.

He said how noble he was, but what he did behind his back seemed to be known only to him.

Gu Chen then asked the name of the woman next door, and left after learning that her name was Liu Ying.

Now back to Hu Zhengming's house, the way Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang looked at Hu Zhengming changed.

As soon as she entered the door, Lu Weiwei couldn't wait to say: "You scumbag, you often abuse Zhou Lingling at home, and you even want to kill her."

"Ah?" Hearing Lu Weiwei's remarks, Hu Zhengming was taken aback on the spot, and directly retorted: "You... how can you talk nonsense like this?"

"We're not talking nonsense. Your neighbor next door told me, but you Hu Zhengming. I really can't tell. You pretended to be like that."

Officer Wang couldn't stand it any longer.

At least the traces of the scene being cleaned up, as well as Zhou Lingling's painful complaints in her diary, and the testimony of the female neighbor next door, can all prove that Hu Zhengming is a man with violent tendencies.

He even issued death threats while domestically abusing his wife Zhou Lingling.

Just a day ago, Zhou Lingling had scars on her face.

And after careful calculation, the update time of Zhou Lingling's social platform also stayed a few days ago, which can explain the problem very well.
