I am a super cop

Chapter 1385 The woman in red

Chapter 1385 The woman in red
"Something happened!" Seeing that the situation outside the door was not right, Gu Chen immediately got up and trotted out.

Seeing this, Lu Weiwei prepared to follow closely.

At this time, Gao Jiang had just come out of the toilet, and when he saw Lu Weiwei got up to leave, he hurriedly asked, "Lu Weiwei, what's going on?"

"There seems to be an accident outside." Lu Weiwei rushed out of the store without having time to explain too much.

At this moment, a middle-aged man was lying on the ground, and blood was continuously flowing out from under his body.

The surrounding crowd also flinched in fright.

"What... what's going on?"

"I don't know, I just heard a 'bang', and this person just... fell down."

"It's terrible. Fortunately, there was no one downstairs just now, otherwise it would be miserable."

……

The onlookers kept teasing, but at this moment, a little girl suddenly pointed to the roof of the building and said, "There seems to be someone hiding there, and I saw him popping up just now."

"Really...really?"

"Could it be that this person was pushed down by that person?"

"My God, is the murderer upstairs?"

……

Hearing the little girl's words, everyone was stunned for a moment, and they all looked towards the rooftop in astonishment.

And Gu Chen looked up following everyone's gaze, and really found a figure dodging on the rooftop.

Gu Chen frowned, immediately pushed away the crowd of onlookers, and rushed directly towards the storefront of the building.

"Junior Brother Gu, wait for me." Seeing that Gu Chen started to move immediately, Lu Weiwei didn't care too much, and followed Gu Chen's footsteps and rushed over.

After Gu Chen asked about the passage upstairs, he rushed to the rooftop at the fastest speed.

But when Gu Chen rushed to the rooftop on the sixth floor and kicked open the gate, a tall and thin middle-aged man was about to go downstairs.

Seeing Gu Chen rushing towards him, he backed away in fright.

"Don't go." Gu Chen grabbed the man with one grab, and subdued the middle-aged man to the ground in an instant.

"Ouch!" The middle-aged man wailed again and again, begging for mercy, "Let go, let go, my arm is about to break."

"Junior Brother Gu." At this moment, Lu Weiwei also rushed up to the rooftop out of breath, and ran directly to Gu Chen's side.

"Senior Sister Lu, check the roof." Gu Chen reminded.

Lu Weiwei nodded silently, and then began to search carefully around the rooftop.

But after a lap, Lu Weiwei returned to the original point and shook her head directly at Gu Chen: "I didn't find anything."

"It seems that the person who was watching secretly by the roof railing just now should be you? Did you push that person down just now?" Gu Chen questioned.

The middle-aged man who was subdued also had a pained face at this moment, and he defended himself: "I... I just stood by the roof and looked at it for a few moments, and I don't know why that person fell down."

"You don't know? Are you lying to ghosts?" Seeing that the man was not telling the truth, Lu Weiwei also retorted.

The middle-aged man was a little dissatisfied, but he was subdued by Gu Chen and couldn't move. He could only ask the two of them back: "By the way, who are you? Why arrest me?"

"Why arrest you?" Lu Weiwei felt a little funny, and directly took out her police ID card, flashed it in front of the man and said, "See clearly, we are the police."

"Police?" The man was stunned, and immediately said politely: "Comrade police, I was wronged. I really didn't push that person down. I am the owner of the shop selling fried chestnuts downstairs."

After a pause, the man said again: "I also received a call from a stranger, saying that there is a stranger upstairs on the rooftop, and I don't know what to do, let me go up and have a look."

"So, I also kindly came to check the situation, but as soon as I opened the gate, I felt something fell, so I ran to the roof guardrail to see what happened."

"Is that really the case?" Seeing the aggrieved look on the middle-aged man's face, it didn't seem like he was lying.

The owner of the chestnut shop also wailed, "I don't even know who that person is, besides, why should I push him down?"

Hearing the man's words, Gu Chen subconsciously let go of his hands and asked the owner of the chestnut shop to move his arms.

The owner of the Chestnut shop also twisted his arms from side to side, and said with a pained face: "I just came here to take a look, after all, the shop downstairs is rented, and I don't know what the landlord has put on the roof. So I got the call and came over."

"Wait a minute." Seeing the owner of the chestnut shop trying to defend himself, Gu Chen continued to ask him: "You just said that you received a call from a stranger?"

"Yes." The owner of the chestnut shop nodded silently.

"Then do you know who the person calling you is?" Gu Chen asked again.

The owner of the chestnut shop replied with a wry smile: "I don't know who it is? This person's voice is weird. I feel like I've never heard it before. It should be a stranger I've never seen before."

"But he was able to call my mobile phone. I think it may be the landlord's relatives or something. After all, the landlord knows my phone number."

"Is that so?" Hearing the words of the owner of the chestnut shop, Lu Weiwei also frowned slightly, thoughtfully: "Then you were also instructed by someone to come to the rooftop?"

"Isn't that the case?" Rubbing his sore arm, the owner of the chestnut shop also had a look of grievance, and complained:
"These days, it's true that good people can't do anything. In the future, one thing more is better than one thing less. Why do you think I'm blindly involved?"

"In the end, you were identified by the police as the murderer. Who am I to justify..."

The owner of the chestnut shop was still sitting on the ground chattering, but Gu Chen had already turned his attention to the surrounding environment.

Walking to the position where the man fell just now, there was obviously a deep friction mark next to the guardrail of the roof.

Gu Chen lay on the side of the roof railing, looking downstairs.

At this moment, a police car had already arrived at the scene, and several police officers got out of the car and began to drive the gathered crowd out, vacating the scene.

Gu Chen continued to stare at the man who fell from the building, and found that there was a rope and a broken sack near the place where the man fell.

Gu Chen frowned, combined with the friction marks beside the guardrail, he seemed to have an answer in his heart.

Turning around, Gu Chen walked directly to the rooftop gate.

The owner of the chestnut shop, who was still chattering with Lu Weiwei while sitting on the ground, stopped arguing immediately and turned to look in the direction Gu Chen walked by.

Gu Chen stopped at the gate of the rooftop, looked at the handle of the gate, and immediately grinned.

"Junior Brother Gu." Seeing Gu Chen's appearance, Lu Weiwei must have known the result, so she hurriedly asked him, "Did you find anything?"

"I know how that man fell from the building." Gu Chen walked back and said.

"You know?" Lu Weiwei was thoughtful, so she hurriedly asked Gu Chen: "Then how did he fall?"

"It was fixed on the body with a sack, then wrapped with a rope, and hung next to the railing of the roof."

"And the other end of the rope happened to be tied to the handle of the rooftop gate. The gate was closed, and the man just hung there."

"But once someone pushes open the door of the rooftop, the man bound in the sack will suddenly lose traction due to the force of gravity and fall downstairs."

"So..." Hearing what Gu Chen said, Lu Weiwei glanced at the innocent chestnut shop owner, and complained, "So the chestnut shop owner is innocent?"

"Of course I'm innocent..."

"boom!"

Before the owner of the chestnut shop finished speaking, the roof gate was kicked open again. Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong rushed up with another auxiliary policeman.

Seeing that Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei were also there, Ding Liang was quite surprised and said, "So you are here too?"

"That's right, I ate here just now." Gu Chen said.

Huang Zunlong glanced at the owner of the chestnut shop who was sitting on the ground, and asked: "Just now, some people reported that when the deceased fell from the building, there was a man who was looking around by the roof railing. It should be him?"

"Yes, it's him." Gu Chen continued to nod.

Huang Zunlong didn't say a word, and directly lowered his chin to an auxiliary policeman beside him.

The auxiliary police understood, and the two came to the owner of the chestnut shop together, and directly lifted him from the ground.

The owner of the chestnut shop was dumbfounded, and directly retorted: "This...what's the matter?"

"Did you push him down?" Ding Liang stepped forward and asked.

The owner of the chestnut shop was anxious, and he couldn't help complaining: "Why is this happening again? Why is this going on forever?"

"Let me ask you, did you push the person down?" Ding Liang asked loudly again.

But this time, Gu Chen spoke for the owner of the chestnut shop: "It wasn't him who pushed him down, but someone else."

"Another person?" Ding Liang didn't quite understand, so he asked Gu Chen directly, "What do you mean?"

"Downstairs just now, you saw the man who fell from the building, are there any other suspicious clues?" Gu Chen asked.

Ding Liang murmured thoughtfully, "It seems... there is a rope and a sack."

"You are looking at the handle of the rooftop gate, and the guardrail where you fell from the building just now." Gu Chen continued to remind.

Ding Liang was not idle either, he went directly to the roof gate and carefully checked the door handle.

Immediately, his eyes lit up, so he ran to the guardrail of the roof again, and followed the location where the man fell from the building just now, to check carefully.

Huang Zunlong, who grabbed the owner of the chestnut shop, was also a little uneasy and said, "Ding Liang, did you find anything?"

"Sure enough, there is a problem." Ding Liang took out his mobile phone, and after taking pictures of these clues, he returned directly to several people.

"There are scratches on the handle of the roof gate and the side of the guardrail."

"And if the sack and the rope next to the man who fell from the building fell from the roof together, then I think the man should have been tied to the edge of the roof long ago and wrapped in a sack to hide his eyes."

"As long as the roof gate is pushed, the man will fall from the roof under the action of gravity, is that so? Gu Chen."

Connecting the various clues that Gu Chen reminded him, Ding Liang also gave his own explanation.

Gu Chen nodded silently, and said approvingly: "As expected of my roommate, you are right, that person probably died long ago and was hung on the roof."

Glancing at the trembling chestnut shop owner, Gu Chen also waved his hand, reminding him: "Relax, I'll scare him."

Hearing Gu Chen's speech, Huang Zunlong and another auxiliary policeman also let go of their hands.

The owner of the chestnut shop who felt pain in his arm again felt even more aggrieved at the moment, and complained to Gu Chen: "I said, comrade police, can you ask the situation clearly before arresting people next time?"

"I, a little commoner, am almost scared to death by you."

"I'm sorry." Gu Chen also apologized and said, "After all, you were the first to appear at the scene of the crime, so we need to ask you about the situation."

"Also, do you still have the phone number that called you? If so, write down the phone number for us."

"Yes." Heaving a sigh of relief, the owner of the chestnut shop also quickly took out his mobile phone, opened the call record, handed it to Gu Chen and said, "Hey, this is the number."

Gu Chen took out his mobile phone, took a picture of the call record, and then sent it to He Junchao, asking He Junchao to check it for him.

Then he asked the owner of the chestnut shop, "Do you have surveillance here?"

"Surveillance? No." The owner of the chestnut shop waved his hand and said involuntarily: "We are also a small business. Maybe some stores will install surveillance, but we don't."

"Then this building..."

Lu Weiwei pointed to the building.

"No." The owner of the chestnut shop still waved his hand and explained: "To go to the roof, you can take the stairs from the back, but there is no surveillance over there, and our building is relatively old. Clothing monitoring."

"It's troublesome." Feeling uncomfortable to investigate, Gu Chen crossed his arms and pondered for a few seconds before saying, "Let's go... let's go down and have a look."

Everyone left the auxiliary policeman on guard on the roof, and the rest went downstairs to check the situation.

At this moment, the scene of the falling building has been separated by a cordon.

Several auxiliary police officers are maintaining order at the scene.

When Gao Jian discovered that Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei came to the scene, followed by several policemen, he also took the initiative to come over and ask, "Gu Chen, what's the matter?"

"I can't tell right now." Looking up at the rooftop, Gu Chen also roughly said, "The deceased may have been designed to be killed."

"Designed to kill?" Hearing Gu Chen's remarks, several auxiliary police officers including Gao Jian frowned instantly, feeling that the situation was not that simple.

But Gu Chen's eyes, inadvertently, kept scanning the surrounding crowd.

You know, if the phone call from the owner of the chestnut shop was made by the murderer deliberately, with the purpose of throwing blame on the chestnut shop owner, then the murderer might have stayed at the scene and quietly watched the situation happen.

Therefore, while Gu Chen was explaining, he was using his master-level observation skills to constantly observe the changes in the expressions of the people around him.

But when Gu Chen glanced at the doorstep of a store, he suddenly found a woman in a red dress with an extremely nervous expression.

When she saw that Gu Chen was staring at her at this moment, her heart skipped a beat.

His eyes quickly avoided Gu Chen, and he was at a loss, and began to look at him.

Gu Chen frowned, pushed aside the crowd of onlookers, and started walking towards the woman in the long red dress.

Seeing this, the woman panicked immediately, turned around and began to flee the scene.

Gu Chen quickened his pace, and the woman also quickened her pace. When she came to a corner, she immediately turned into an alley.

Seeing this situation, Gu Chen immediately determined that there was something wrong with the woman in the red skirt, so she also quickened her pace and chased after her.

But at this time, it was the peak time for dining, and another person fell from the building just now, and the police car also drove to the scene.

Therefore, the crowd of spectators is gradually gathering.

Gu Chen's line of sight was constantly obstructed, and at the same time as he kept pushing the crowd away, Gu Chen finally arrived at the entrance of the alley with great effort.

But at this moment, the woman in the red dress has long since disappeared.

Gu Chen chased along the alley until he passed through the alley and came to another back street. He looked around, but he didn't find any trace of the woman.

At this moment, Lu Weiwei, Ding Liang and Gao Jian also rushed over.

Lu Weiwei hurriedly asked: "Junior Brother Gu, what did you find out?"

"Just now there was a middle-aged woman in a long red dress who acted very suspiciously. I chased her all the way here, but she disappeared."

"The woman in the red dress?" Lu Weiwei heard this and looked around.

At this time, there was no trace of the woman in the back street.

In addition, the small roads here extend in all directions, it seems to be a bit difficult to find people in the back streets.

Gu Chen ignored it, took out his cell phone and called He Junchao.

Not long after, He Junchao's phone was connected: "Senior Brother He, where are you now?"

"I just came back from eating in the cafeteria and I'm going back to the dormitory." He Junchao said on the phone.

"Then you hurry to the office and find someone for me, hurry up." Gu Chen also urged.

He Junchao said weakly: "I see, I was going back to the dormitory. I saw the phone number you sent me, so I'm rushing to the office now. What's the matter? Are there any questions?"

"In addition, we are chasing a woman in a long red dress and lost it at the entrance of the alley. Please help us find her exact location, hurry up."

Gu Chen still urged.

He Junchao said a little tiredly: "I really owe you in my previous life. Well, tool people are tool people after all. I'll be in the office in a few minutes. Send me your current address."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news." After Gu Chen finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly.

At this moment, everyone stood in place, waiting anxiously.

After listening to Gu Chen's narration just now, Lu Weiwei also said angrily: "That woman is so afraid of you, does she have a ghost in her heart? And that man, she was the one who killed him?"

"It's not clear yet." Gu Chen crossed his arms and walked back and forth in front of Lu Weiwei twice before saying again:

"In short, this woman is definitely not simple, and it may have a great relationship with the death of this man."

Suddenly stopping in his tracks, Gu Chen said again: "What's more, we must find out the real identity of the deceased as soon as possible."

"Then let's go to the scene and ask?" Ding Liang suggested.

Gu Chen nodded silently, and said to Lu Weiwei: "Senior Sister Lu, please help Comrade Gao Chuanfeng, Technical Section of the City Bureau, and ask him to come over and take the body away."

"No problem." Lu Weiwei took out her mobile phone and started to communicate.

Several people returned to the scene of the crime.

At this moment, Huang Zunlong was maintaining order at the scene.

Gu Chen came over and asked, "Huang Zunlong, have you found out the identity of the deceased?"

"I don't know." Huang Zunlong shook his head and said helplessly, "I asked the bosses of many nearby shops, but they all said they didn't know this person."
