I am a super cop

Chapter 1322 The water in the bathtub
Inside the office.

He Junchao continued to carry forward the spirit of the tool man, and in a daze, he retrieved the landlord's surveillance video while patching together.

Glancing back at Gu Chen, He Junchao said with relief, "This guy is the one who gave Xu Fangzhi the key."

"Keep an eye on him and check him out." Gu Chen said.

Just as Gu Chen finished speaking, a phone call came in.

Gu Chen saw that the caller was forensic doctor Gao Chuanfeng.

Without further ado, Gu Chen swiped the answer button: "Gao Chuanfeng, how is the test?"

"Gu Chen, according to the test, there is no trace of injury on Zou Qiang's body, but after I tested the alcohol and OxyContin in Zou Qiang's body, I found that it has far exceeded the standard."

"It is preliminarily inferred that Zou Qiang had suffocation symptoms before drowning."

"Are you sure?" Gu Chen asked for confirmation.

Gao Chuanfeng insisted: "It can't be wrong, Zou Qiang's death may appear to be drowning on the surface, but in fact, before he drowned, there were alcohol and OxyContin drugs that exceeded the standard. This is in the testing room. It's been confirmed."

"Understood." Hearing Gao Chuanfeng's words, Gu Chen probably understood the basic situation.

After a brief exchange with Gao Chuanfeng, Gu Chen hung up the phone.

"How is it?" Seeing this, Lu Weiwei hurriedly asked Gu Chen, "What did Gao Chuanfeng say?"

"Alcohol and OxyContin exceeded the standard." Gu Chen said.

Officer Wang frowned: "Then, Zou Qiang's death was not that simple? Did he drown because of excessive drugs?"

"Yes." Gu Chen nodded silently, and said involuntarily, "You know, I said before that the combination of alcohol and OxyContin is very dangerous."

"Generally speaking, the additive effect will inhibit the respiratory center of the brain, which will lead to death by suffocation."

"As for Gao Chuanfeng's test results, Zou Qiang first died of drowning because of excessive drugs. This has been confirmed in the testing room."

"Since this is the case, as long as the investigation finds out whether Zou Qiang took alcohol and OxyContin himself or was taken by someone else, can we conclude that he committed suicide or homicide?" Officer Wang said.

Gu Chen nodded silently: "For now, that's the case."

"That's easy." Looking up at He Junchao, Police Officer Wang urged, "Then what, He Junchao, have you made any progress with that landlord?"

"It's still hit by you." After hearing the conversation of several people, He Junchao breathed a sigh of relief while investigating:

"This landlord, after Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei returned from visiting the house, seemed to go to the pharmacy."

"Then his whereabouts are uncertain, but on the night of Zou Qiang's incident, he went out and drove to the direction of Lanshan Villa."

"What about Zou Qiang? What happened to Zou Qiang that night?" Gu Chen asked again.

"Zou Qiang also went out that night, and his whereabouts are uncertain, but since he was found in the Blue Mountain Villa, he must have gone to the Blue Mountain Villa."

"Call records." Officer Wang thoughtfully, looked up at He Junchao and said, "Try to find a way to contact the telecom operator, and transfer the call time between Zou Qiang and the landlord that night."

"Understood." He Junchao nodded silently, and continued to operate.

On the other side, Gu Chen turned his head and asked Police Officer Wang: "What is the result of Xu Fangzhi's interrogation?"

"No progress." Officer Wang shook his head, and said in disappointment, "Lao Ding and the others interrogated Xu Fangzhi overnight yesterday, but they didn't get the desired result."

"But they have already figured out one thing, that is, according to Xu Fangzhi's account, Zou Qiang does often come and go to Lanshan Villa, and even regards it as his home."

"Because Xu Fangzhi discovered a large number of personal items about Zou Qiang during the live broadcast that day."

"So from that day on, Xu Fangzhi can probably guess that Zou Qiang used to live here."

"That is to say, it's not surprising that Zou Qiang lives in a single-family villa in the Lanshan villa area?" Gu Chen said.

Officer Wang nodded silently: "That's about it."

"It's no wonder that Zou Qiang died in the bathroom. He co-authored this villa as his own home, but drowned in the bathtub. Is this a coincidence?" Lu Weiwei thought.

But Gu Chen shook his head: "It's absolutely impossible to be such a coincidence. If Zou Qiang had exceeded the limit of alcohol and OxyContin before, then he accidentally drowned in the bathtub, which is a bit weird."

"If it is said that he had difficulty breathing and passed out because of excessive drugs, it may be reasonable. Drowning in the bathtub seems more artificial."

"Human salary?" Hearing Gu Chen's words, Lu Weiwei frowned slightly.

Gu Chen continued to explain: "The reason is very simple. The alcohol and OxyContin exceeded the standard, and Zou Qiang had difficulty breathing."

"But at this moment, would he choose to stay safely in the bathtub? Normal people wouldn't do that."

"The only thing that can be explained is that Zou Qiang was plotted by someone, resulting in a physical condition."

"But when Zou Qiang was half dead, he was carried into a bathtub filled with water, causing him to suffocate to death."

"Being carried into the bathtub?" Lu Weiwei's expression was blank, and she asked thoughtfully, "How can Junior Brother Gu be sure that someone carried him into the bathtub? What if he was taking a bath in the bathtub by himself?"

"Maybe Senior Sister Lu didn't pay attention to the situation around the bathtub?" Seeing that Lu Weiwei still didn't understand, Gu Chen also reminded her.

Lu Weiwei blinked her beautiful eyes, laughed and said, "I really didn't notice, did Junior Brother Gu discover something at the scene?"

Gu Chen didn't say anything, just took out his phone, clicked on the photo album, handed it to Lu Weiwei and said, "Senior Sister Lu, you can read it yourself."

When Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang heard this, they immediately moved over.

The picture is of the tiled floor outside the tub.

But Gu Chen's shooting is very tricky, there are obvious traces of being washed by water on the tiles.

Officer Wang frowned, and quickly looked at Gu Chen and asked, "So you mean..."

"The reason is very simple." Gu Chen crossed his arms and talked eloquently, "Very few people live in this villa."

"So there will be a lot of dust, especially in the bathroom. Since no one is often taking a shower in the bathroom, there will often be a lot of dust on the floor tiles in the bathroom."

"So even though the agent Zou Qiang lived in it, I'm sure he never took a bath in it, because there was no change of clothes at the scene."

After a pause, Gu Chen said again: "What's more, even if Zou Qiang wants to take a bath in the bathtub on the spur of the moment, in my opinion, it's okay."

"However, Zou Qiang will not be so stupid that he doesn't know how much water is in the bathtub, but judging from the traces of dust washing on the ground, it is obvious that there is obviously too much water in the bathtub."

"After Zou Qiang entered the bathtub, a large amount of water flooded out of the bathtub, causing the dust on the floor tiles to be washed away like this. Logically speaking, this shouldn't be."

"Indeed." Lu Weiwei also nodded silently, and said, "If I want to take a bath, I definitely wouldn't put so much water in."

"And judging from this photo, there should be a lot of water in the bathtub. After all, when we saw Zou Qiang drowned in the bathtub, the water in the bathtub was still full."

"The tank is still full after 48 hours, and the dust on the ground has been washed away obviously. Obviously, the person who released the water may not be Zou Qiang, but another person."

"Besides, this person must be very thin, that's why he put the water in the way he took a bath." Gu Chen reminded.

Officer Wang suddenly realized, and quickly glanced at He Junchao: "Then what? He Junchao, what does the landlord look like?"

"A guy as thin as a monkey." He Junchao clicked on the landlord's photo to the computer screen, then lit the screen in front of everyone and said, "That's the guy."

"That's right." Seeing this, Lu Weiwei said with relief: "The landlord puts water in the bathtub according to the amount of water he takes to bathe, but Zou Qiang's body shape and height are obviously not at the same level as the landlord."

"So when Zou Qiang had side effects due to excessive alcohol and OxyContin, the landlord put him in the bathtub, which caused the bathtub to overflow a lot, which washed away all kinds of stains on the floor tiles, forming this situation."

"Oh my god!" Hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Police Officer Wang also scratched his cheeks, somewhat incredulous:
"So, this landlord is really a problem?"

"The key is, where did you buy these OxyContin drugs? Didn't Brother He already find out that the landlord has gone to the pharmacy?"

"That's right, it's called Minmin Pharmacy, and it's the one on Ping'an Street." He Junchao said.

Gu Chen nodded silently, and also ordered: "Send this information to Ding Liang, ask him and Huang Zunlong to bring the landlord's photo, confirm the specific time when the landlord will go to the pharmacy, and ask the pharmacist to see if it is necessary to buy it. Drugs like OxyContin."

"Understood." He Junchao knew that Gu Chen was going to treat his two roommates as tools again.

But this also saves Gu Chen from making a trip by himself, after all, Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong are outside, so it is convenient to call them.

As for Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong, although they don't belong to the same department as Gu Chen, they have gradually gotten used to being ordered by Gu Chen in the past few years.

After handing over the work, Gu Chen and everyone continued to wait quietly in the three groups of offices.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, Gu Chen received a call from Ding Liang.

Gu Chen quickly answered the channel: "What about Ding Liang? Have you investigated clearly?"

"Gu Chen, you really hit the spot. The guy you want us to investigate... this guy named Huang Xin, he really bought OxyContin at this pharmacy."

"Did you confirm at the pharmacy?" Gu Chen said.

"Confirmed, because few people buy this medicine and it is difficult to buy it. Among the few nearby pharmacies, only this pharmacy sells it, so the staff of the pharmacy are very impressed with him."

"And after the sale, he was specifically reminded that this drug cannot be mixed with alcohol, otherwise there will be big problems."

"So when I took out that photo of Huang Xin, the clerk recognized him immediately."

"Understood." Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, it was just as he had guessed.

It seems that Huang Xin, the landlord of the villa, has an impure motive for purchasing OxyContin.

However, OxyContin and alcohol were detected in Zou Qiang's body.

It can be said that everything points to the landlord Huang Xin.

Coupled with the characteristics of the overflowing water in the bathtub, it can be concluded that it was the amount of water Huang Xin took when taking a bath.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen could no longer restrain the excitement in his heart, and directly confessed: "Ding Liang, you have to work harder with Huang Zunlong, you go to Huang Xin, and after you find him, take him directly to the interrogation room of the Furong branch. send you."

"No problem, send it here, and we'll help you find Huang Xin." Ding Liang readily agreed.

Hanging up the phone, He Junchao immediately sent Huang Xin's current address to him before Gu Chen could order.

11:20am.

Huang Xin, who was as thin as a monkey, was escorted directly to Interrogation Room No. [-] by the tall and burly Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong.

Gu Chen then brought his team members into the room one by one.

At this moment, Huang Xin looked at everyone's blank faces and asked Gu Chen curiously, "You guys are looking for me?"

"That's right, you are Huang Xin?" Gu Chen asked directly after sitting down.

"Well, I'm Huang Xin." Huang Xin answered straightforwardly.

"Report your ID number." Gu Chen said lightly.

Huang Xin had no choice but to do as he was told.

After collecting the basic information, Gu Chen looked up at Huang Xin and asked, "The unfinished building opposite the Lanshan villa area is your masterpiece, right?"

"You...why are you asking this?" Huang Xin was a little displeased when he heard this.

Gu Chen also said truthfully: "It's nothing, I just want to know more."

"Well, it's my masterpiece. There was a problem with the project, which led to debts, so... so it was unfinished, and I was stuck. I don't know when I can resume work. It's as simple as that."

Huang Xin told Gu Chen about his basic situation in the unfinished real estate.

Gu Chen nodded silently, and asked again: "Zou Qiang, do you know?"

"I know, he's my real estate agent, and you're looking for me this time just for his business, right?"

Huang Xin obviously also knew the purpose of Gu Chen looking for him.

Gu Chen didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point: "Zou Qiang died in the bathtub on the second floor of your villa, did you know about this?"

"I know." Huang Xin nodded slightly, and said bluntly: "The anchor who helped me with the sleep test in the haunted house is called... the guy named Xu Fangzhi, he has already told me."

"Then what do you think?" Gu Chen asked.

"Me?" Huang Xin hesitated for two seconds, then shook his head: "I don't know. After all, I haven't been able to contact Zou Qiang these days, and I don't know where he went. Villa, they all came looking for me because I didn’t have a key.”

"But later, I heard that during the live broadcast yesterday, a person was found dead in the bathtub, and he was quite frightened at the time."

With a faint sigh, Huang Xin said helplessly, "I don't know what's going on, why did this guy die in my villa?"

"It's all right now. The previous concept of a haunted house has gradually faded away, but now it's all over, and someone died in the villa again. I guess my villa will not be sold for a while."

Feeling that he was unlucky enough, Huang Xin's expression was quite depressed at the moment.

Gu Chen recorded these on the record, and then asked: "So, you don't know what's going on with Zou Qiang?"

"Yes, I don't know." Huang Xin shook his head and denied it.

"Then do you know that Zou Qiang has the habit of living in your villa?" Gu Chen asked again.

Huang Xin frowned: "I... I'm not very clear about this, maybe there is. After all, when I hand over the keys to him, I also hand over the management of the house to him."

"It's normal for him to live in the villa occasionally, it's not a big deal."

"It's just that I didn't expect to die in the bathtub on the second floor this time. It's unbelievable."

"Then do you know how he died?" Lu Weiwei asked.

"I don't know." Huang Xin shook his head and asked for advice, "I don't know...do you know what's going on?"

"Of course we know." Officer Wang crossed his arms and leaned on the seat to observe Huang Xin for a long time.

It feels like this guy is still calm, at least for now, it seems that this matter has nothing to do with him.

Huang Xin frowned, leaned forward slightly, and asked curiously, "The police comrades, what did you find?"

"OxyContin, you should be very familiar with this thing, right?" I felt that Huang Xin's acting was good, but Lu Weiwei didn't have the patience to act with him, so she directly pointed it out.

Huang Xin was taken aback, and asked with a smile, "What do you mean by that?"

"We mean..."

"What we mean is that we detected alcohol and OxyContin in the body of the deceased Zou Qiang."

"As for the drug OxyContin, as you must know, its function is to relieve persistent moderate to severe pain."

"However, once this drug is combined with alcohol, there will be a big problem. In addition, it will inhibit the respiratory center of the brain and cause death by suffocation."

Before Lu Weiwei could speak, Gu Chen interrupted.

Inform him of the horrors of combining OxyContin and alcohol.

At this moment, Huang Xin also looked confused, as if it was the first time he had heard of it.

Scratching the back of his head, Huang Xin asked weakly: "So...so you think that Zou Qiang's death is related to OxyContin and alcohol?"

"It has already been detected in the body of the deceased Zou Qiang, do we need to say it again?" Lu Weiwei felt that Huang Xin was worthy of a showman.

As far as this acting skill is concerned, it is not appropriate not to award him a statuette.

Huang Xin also seemed to realize something.

After all, it's an old Jianghu, Lu Weiwei has already said that, if he pretends to be innocent again, it seems to be fake.

After thinking about it, Huang Xin also asked weakly: "So, you came to me this time because you suspect me?"

"Of course we suspect you, because you bought OxyContin at the pharmacy before Zou Qiang drowned."

"On the night of Zou Qiang's death, you happened to go out and headed towards the Lanshan villa area. You said we don't suspect who you suspect?"

"This..." After Officer Wang said this, Huang Xin immediately expressed displeasure.

But soon, Huang Xin tried to calm down, and then retorted: "You have to use evidence for what you say."

"The evidence is that the staff of the People's Pharmacy on Ping'an Street can confirm that you have indeed purchased OxyContin at the pharmacy."

"Before the night of Zou Qiang's death, you also contacted by phone." Lu Weiwei said.

Huang Xin refused to accept it: "It's just a phone call. I was just asking Zou Qiang about the sales of the villa. Isn't that all right?"

"In addition, I admit that I did go to that pharmacy to buy OxyContin, but it was all for myself. Is there any problem with that?"

After a series of rebuttals, Huang Xin just refused to admit it. It seemed that based on these, the police had nothing to do with him.
