I am a super cop

Chapter 1122 The Missed Seafood

in the afternoon.

The testing room of the Technical Division of the Municipal Bureau.

Gu Chen and his colleagues are anxiously waiting for the test results.

You know, in the morning, everyone did fingerprint extraction work on most of the residents of Wangjiang Apartment.

Although the extraction is not comprehensive, it can also be used as a reference.

Among them, with the help of Gao Lu's roommate Wang Xin, everyone also found Gao Lu's fingerprints among some items used by Gao Lu.

Therefore, after comparing with the new fingerprints extracted near the door outside the house, it was found that they did not match Wang Xingaolu's fingerprints.

After seeing this result, Lu Weiwei was a little puzzled and said, "It stands to reason that most people don't leave fingerprints near the door outside the house, and only the owner of the house can do it."

"Room 1206 in Kewangjiang Apartment. From Wang Xin's introduction, we can learn that she and Gao Lu only rented it a month ago, and the fingerprints here are obviously the latest."

"That's right, if something happens to Gao Lu, it's most likely left behind by the murderer." Officer Wang also agrees with this statement.

"But the fingerprint extraction is not comprehensive." Yuan Shasha also said with a worried face: "Although we only extracted the fingerprints of all the residents today, some residents did not come to the scene. There are big loopholes in this extraction."

"It's simple." Gu Chen took a deep breath and said, "Call the monitoring, and all the residents who have left the apartment after last night, which is the time when Gao Lu appeared on the monitoring screen for the last time, are called to get fingerprints." , don’t miss anyone.”

"I agree. Although this method is the most stupid, it is also the most effective. The main reason is that it takes time." Police Officer Wang also said involuntarily.

Although it takes time, everyone knows that this is currently the most effective way of matching.

To know who has been to Room 1206 of Wangjiang Apartment, it seems that the new fingerprint is the biggest breakthrough.

As long as the match can be successful, at least the man who left the fingerprint is the most likely suspect to cause Gao Lu's disappearance.

Gu Chen also opened up his heart and said: "At present, the disappearance of the Wangjiang apartment has attracted a lot of attention from the media. Director Zhao even called to inquire about this matter, so this matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise the topic will continue to become popular. .”

"I really don't know who brought this matter to light, do you think our police work is not messy enough?" Lu Weiwei couldn't help complaining.

Yuan Shasha said: "The main reason is that the traffic is pouring into this topic now, and the hype is quite high."

"Besides, ordinary people, everyone seems to be paying a lot of attention to this kind of weird event, and most of them are happy to hear it. After all, everyone wants to know how Gao Lu disappeared."

"That's right." Forensic assistant Gao Chuanfeng clicked twice, and couldn't help complaining: "When I heard your explanation of the case, I was very interested."

"If you want to say how this person disappeared from the building out of thin air, maybe it's really hard to say."

"You'd better hurry up and match the fingerprints, this work must be completed as soon as possible." Gu Chen also urged.

Gao Chuanfeng said indifferently: "My side is almost over, basically there is no matching success."

"Where is the list?" Gu Chen asked.

Gao Chuanfeng pointed to the test form on the table: "There, take it yourself."

Gu Chen knew that in order to match this new fingerprint, he still needed to extract fingerprints from some fish that slipped through the net.

The focus is on the people who were out of the apartment last night.

As long as all the residents who stayed in the apartment last night were checked and extracted, the mystery of who left the fingerprints can be easily solved.

But when Gu Chen glanced at the fingerprint matching detection, he suddenly found something strange.

In the last option of "match or not", Gao Chuanfeng almost ticked all the people who were fingerprinted, but only the man named Zhao Lei was blank from beginning to end.

Of course, Zhao Lei and Gu Chen had the impression that he was the cartoonist, and he was surrounded by many reporters for interviews. Gu Chen also knew that he lived in Room 1208, just one room away from Gao Lu and Wang Xin's residence.

But why are all the options for Zhao Lei blank?Gu Chen asked Gao Chuanfeng suspiciously: "Gao Chuanfeng, why is there no fingerprint detection option for this Zhao Lei?"

"Why not? You have to ask yourself." Gao Chuanfeng replied with a smile, "Because Zhao Lei's name is here, but you didn't provide me with a fingerprint sample, so it's all blank here."

"Didn't I give you a fingerprint sample?" Gu Chen was stunned, a little confused and said: "Impossible, we have extracted fingerprints from everyone who went out yesterday, why not."

"Brother." Seeing that Gu Chen didn't believe it, Gao Chuanfeng complained again and again: "How could I lie to you? I have all the fingerprint samples here. I have a storage record. If there is no one, it is not. You should call and ask yourself Man, what's going on?"

Feeling that something was wrong, Gu Chen frowned slightly, and then asked Lu Weiwei: "Senior Sister Lu, who took Zhao Lei's fingerprints this morning?"

"Xiao Wu, right? I think it's Wu Xiaofeng." Lu Weiwei said.

Without thinking too much, Gu Chen took out his mobile phone and called Wu Xiaofeng.

The call was quickly connected, and Wu Xiaofeng asked curiously, "Captain Gu, what do you need from me?"

"Xiao Wu, were you responsible for extracting the fingerprints of the cartoonist Zhao Lei this morning?" Gu Chen asked.

"That's right." Wu Xiaofeng didn't deny it, but at the same time said: "But I didn't extract it successfully."

"Didn't the extraction succeed?" Gu Chen was a little puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

"Because his finger happened to be injured and his fingerprints were destroyed, there was no way to extract them, so I registered his name without extracting fingerprints."

"How could this be?" Gu Chen frowned, somewhat incomprehensible.

Looking at it now, none of the residents whose fingerprints have been extracted can match their fingerprints.

But this Zhao Lei injured his finger at this time, which makes people suspicious.

So Gu Chen hurriedly asked Wu Xiaofeng: "Then did he tell you how his finger was injured?"

"Uh..." Wu Xiaofeng hesitated for a moment, and then said lightly: "He said he was burned, and I have also seen his fingers, and the fingers were indeed burned."

"What a coincidence? Could it be him?" Lu Weiwei asked.

Gu Chen nodded silently: "Maybe."

"This guy's timing is pretty good." Officer Wang couldn't help complaining, "I also noticed that this guy came out of the apartment with a smile on the corner of his mouth in the morning."

"The media surrounded him, and he also swore to accept interviews, and even complained that the property did not take security measures, and bombarded the property's incompetence."

"But if Gao Lu's disappearance was really done by him, then this guy must have hidden too deeply, right?"

"It doesn't matter, focus on this Zhao Lei, and see what unusual behavior Zhao Lei has done during this time." Gu Chen said.

Police Officer Wang hurriedly said to Gu Chen's mobile phone: "Xiao Wu, this task is entrusted to you. You should return to Wangjiang Apartment immediately and stay at the property duty booth to closely monitor Zhao Lei's every move. If there is any situation with Zhao Lei, you should report it immediately. .”

"Understood." Wu Xiaofeng, who received the order, readily agreed.

Things seem to be turning around.

When everyone's fingerprints could not match, Zhao Lei's fingerprints were injured and could not be extracted.

It can be seen that if Gao Lu's disappearance is related to Zhao Lei, perhaps Zhao Lei has also realized that his fingerprints may have been left somewhere prominent.

But in order to eliminate the fingerprints and prevent himself from falling into trouble, perhaps Zhao Lei deliberately burned his fingers.

But it feels too weird to burn 10 fingers at the same time.

Although Gu Chen has no proof yet, Zhao Lei can't escape.

You know, burnt fingers, wounds are easy to heal.

And it doesn't have much impact on extracting fingerprints after recovery, so Gu Chen also wants to go to Wangjiang Apartment again at this moment to extract Zhao Lei's fingerprints.

At least with Gao Chuanfeng's technology, matching the fingerprints of burned fingers is not a big problem.

After some discussions in the testing room, Gu Chen took everyone to Wangjiang Apartment.

……

……

4:20pm.

When Gu Chen and the others came to the duty booth of the Wangjiang apartment property, Wu Xiaofeng was sitting on the seat where the property security guard was on duty.

Gu Chen came up and asked, "Is there any new trend for Zhao Lei?"

Wu Xiaofeng shook his head: "There is no suspicious movement, but he went downstairs several times today, either buying or buying that."

"Why? Have you asked him?" Gu Chen asked.

Wu Xiaofeng nodded: "I asked, and he said that he always forgets things."

Gu Chen hesitated for a moment, then said to a property security guard, "Show me all the surveillance footage of you entering and leaving the apartment in the past few days. I want all the information on Zhao Lei's going out within a week."

"No problem." The property security did not dare to neglect.

When Gu Chen said this, Uncle Security could only do as he was told.

Afterwards, with the blessing of Gu Chen's master-level observation and master-level memory, he quickly browsed through the various pictures of entering and leaving the door of the apartment within a week.

Gu Chen was not interested in other people, but only focused on Zhao Lei.

But Gu Chen discovered that Zhao Lei usually buys items for one time, but today is different, entering and leaving the apartment door from time to time.

Just purchase items up to 3 times.

But Gu Chen suddenly noticed a small detail, that is, when Zhao Lei goes out, he always carries a small bag in his hand.

And every time these pouches seemed to contain something.

However, when Zhao Lei purchased items and returned to the apartment, the small loan in his hand disappeared, and what he brought back was some daily necessities such as fresh food.

"Not quite right." Gu Chen couldn't help shaking his head: "This Zhao Lei seems to have a big problem."

"How to say?" Officer Wang looked curious.

Gu Chen pressed the monitoring pause button, and said involuntarily: "In one day, counting our investigation in the morning, he has entered and exited the apartment as many as four times."

"In the past week, he only went out once a day. In comparison, it seems that he went out a little too much today."

"That's right." Wu Xiaofeng also answered: "And every time I go shopping, I wonder why you don't buy the whole thing at one time? Why do you want to lose everything."

"Besides, if you forget what you bought, wouldn't it be the same to buy it tomorrow?"

"Could it be? He, Zhao Lei, is a drunkard and doesn't care about drinking?" Lu Weiwei frowned slightly, and then glanced at the fixed-frame surveillance.

But at this time, Lu Weiwei also found something tricky, which was the small bag in Zhao Lei's hand.

"Something's wrong." Lu Weiwei shook her head, and said involuntarily, "Look at what he's carrying in his hand. Every time he goes out, he has a small bag, but he doesn't have it when he comes back. Could it be household garbage?"

After a pause, Lu Weiwei said again: "That's not right, household garbage, why do you have to throw it away three times? Could it be that he is transferring things?"

"Could it be... dismemberment?"

Gu Chen suddenly remembered something, and the uneasiness in his heart gradually emerged.

So he hurriedly asked Wu Xiaofeng: "By the way, Wu Xiaofeng, the room he lives in was inspected by you and Brother Ding, right?"

"That's right." Wu Xiaofeng nodded.

"Then how did you check?" Gu Chen asked.

Wu Xiaofeng hesitated for a few seconds, and then said: "Brother Ding and I also followed the established procedures and took a look at his house. He heard that someone was missing, and he scolded the security for not being good enough, and took the initiative to open the box. , cooperate with our inspection."

"Generally speaking, they were quite cooperative. We saw that there was no problem at all, so we went out after thinking about it."

"That is to say, you didn't search every detail carefully?" Gu Chen seemed to read the search situation at that time from Wu Xiaofeng's words.

Wu Xiaofeng nodded silently: "Isn't time urgent at that time? I wanted to investigate more households, so the search time for each household should not be too long, so the inspection was not so detailed."

"Just take a look at each room, and he also helped us open closets and other places where people can hide, and actively cooperated with us to check."

"Senior Brother Ding and I felt that this person didn't seem to understand what happened at all, and he actively cooperated. Thinking that Gao Lu should not be here, so we said sorry for disturbing, and then left."

"Think about it again, and see what else you missed." Gu Chen felt that Officer Ding and Wu Xiaofeng's search seemed a little too hasty, so he hurriedly asked again.

Wu Xiaofeng was stunned by Gu Chen's seriousness, and quickly scratched the back of his head to think.

After a while, Wu Xiaofeng was stunned suddenly: "That's right... that's right."

"Remember?" Yuan Shasha asked.

Wu Xiaofeng nodded silently: "At that time, I smelled a fishy smell in the living room, and there were three cardboard boxes on the floor, and there was a layer of oily paper bags stuffed inside the cardboard boxes, which contained frozen seafood."

"At that time, he was too enthusiastic. Seeing that we searched carefully, he took the initiative to make friends with us and opened the cabinet."

"Senior Brother Ding and I thought at the time that the cabinet should be the best place to hide people, but there was none, so we became interested in those three stacked cardboard boxes."

"Then Zhao Lei took the initiative to open the topmost carton, showed us the frozen seafood inside, and said he would send us some."

After a pause, Wu Xiaofeng said again: "It's because this guy is too enthusiastic, so we are all embarrassed."

"So after checking the top cardboard box, Brother Ding and I left."

"So, there are still two cartons under the box that haven't been checked, right?" Gu Chen asked.

Wu Xiaofeng was stunned, like an elementary school monk who made a mistake, and could only nod silently: "No... That's right, because the frozen seafood smells too strong, we didn't check it much, after all, Zhao Lei said, he usually likes to eat it most Seafood, he just bought these seafood, so we only checked the top one."

"And he took the initiative to open the top cardboard box for us to check."

"You, you, why didn't you check the other two together?" Officer Wang seemed to have discovered the flaw.

It's nothing to say that Wu Xiaofeng is a stunned young man, but Officer Ding is also an old comrade.

In this way, they can search for flaws, which shows that Officer Ding is too careless.

Wu Xiaofeng also looked aggrieved, and said weakly: "Maybe it's because this guy is too enthusiastic? Besides, Senior Brother Ding and I were in a hurry at the time, so I really didn't think too much about it. Could it be..."

"We suspect that Gao Lu's body was dismembered, and the body was hidden in the two cardboard boxes below." Gu Chen spoke bluntly, and Wu Xiaofeng's face froze in fright.

"What... what? Dismembering the body?"

Gu Chen didn't think too much, and asked directly: "Xiao Wu, let me ask you, how big are the three cartons? Are they all the same size?"

"One... the same, all... so big, with signs like seafood written on them."

In order to restore the size of the carton at that time, Wu Xiaofeng specially drew it with his hands.

Gu Chen frowned slightly, already a little afraid to imagine.

If Gu Chen guessed it right, then Gao Lu might have been killed by now.

Then think of Zhao Lei's abnormal behavior today, frequently entering and leaving the apartment, as if he was moving something, and Zhao Lei's hands were suddenly injured, so that he deceived Wu Xiaofeng and couldn't extract fingerprints.

Judging from various signs, it seems that everyone was deceived by Zhao Lei.

At this moment, Gu Chen couldn't wait any longer, and hurriedly asked Wu Xiaofeng, "So Zhao Lei is still upstairs?"

"Yes, I haven't come down since I went up." Wu Xiaofeng said.

"Let's go." Gu Chen straightened his body, tugged at his shirt and said, "Go to Zhao Lei, get his fingerprints taken, and in addition, carefully check Zhao Lei's apartment."

……

……

With doubts in their hearts, everyone came to the door of Room 1208 of Wangjiang Apartment again and knocked on Zhao Lei's door.

"Who is it?" Zhao Lei responded from inside the room.

"Police." Gu Chen said directly.

But soon, there was no movement in the house.

Just when everyone was about to knock on the door again, the door was suddenly opened. Zhao Lei stood at the door with a puzzled face, and asked in a puzzled way, "Comrade police, we seem to have seen each other this morning."

"That's right, we are the police investigating the disappearance of your neighbor next door." Gu Chen said directly.

Zhao Lei hesitated for a few seconds, then asked again: "Then did you find her?"

Gu Chen shook his head: "I haven't found her yet, but it doesn't matter, I'm here to find you now."

"Looking for... looking for me?" Hearing Gu Chen's remarks, Zhao Lei stared blankly, and asked with a faint smile, "Comrade policeman, what do you want me for?"

"I heard you like to eat seafood?" Gu Chen pushed Zhao Lei away and walked into the living room.

Zhao Lei panicked, hurriedly followed Gu Chen, nodded and said, "Yes... yes, I really like to eat."

"I came to your house last night to check, do you remember?" Wu Xiaofeng also followed at this time and asked Zhao Lei.

Zhao Lei looked Wu Xiaofeng up and down, nodded and said, "I seem to have a little impression."

"Then what about those boxes of seafood you had yesterday? Show me them again." Wu Xiaofeng didn't know how to beat around the bush, so he opened up and said.
