I am a super cop

Chapter 1603 Broken Finger 【Happy National Day】

When it comes to bewitched, Lu Weiwei feels a little ridiculous. A few days ago, she looked at people who were still doing well, and said she was bewitched?

From Lu Weiwei's point of view, Zhang Dapao, the Internet celebrity boss, may just be exhausted from being overworked these days. As long as he takes a little rest, it will not be a big problem.

But after all, there is no definite information from the chef and the kitchen assistant, let alone the matter of waiver.

Thinking about the consumption of 35 per capita, it doesn't matter.

At this moment, a table of customers outside just wanted to get up and leave, so Lu Weiwei didn't dare to slack off, and hurried over to seize the opportunity.

"Boss, pay the bill." A middle-aged woman with exquisite makeup came over to pay the bill while twisting the catwalk.

The chef glanced at the middle-aged woman, and said with a smile, "I'm not the boss. The boss is not here today. I'm just a chef."

"I'll charge you money anyway?" The middle-aged woman seemed very depressed, and it seemed that she came here specially to see the boss today.

But the absence of the Internet celebrity boss is indeed quite disappointing.

The chef pointed to the payment QR code on the table: "Just scan the code and pay."

"Okay." Picking up the phone and scanning the QR code to pay, the middle-aged woman said to the sister who got up: "It seems that the boss can't see him anymore, and he doesn't reply when I look for him online. What's the matter with this boss?"

"Yeah, the work hasn't been updated for a long time, and it feels like it disappeared suddenly."

"Damn, I looked handsome online, with a typical model face, and I wanted to see if I was really handsome, but we were disappointed in the end."

"Let's go, it's called the unexpected, the big deal is to come and have a look next time."

"Hey, what do you think of the handsome guy in the kitchen?"

"Which one?"

"That's the one, tall and thin."

After being reminded by a middle-aged woman, several other women discovered Gu Chen outside the kitchen, and immediately admired it.

But one of the middle-aged women said with a smile: "That should belong to the younger brother of the country, but we are all very old, and I feel that the Internet celebrity boss is more attractive to a mature man."

"That's how you like it? I feel like I'd rather be younger."

"I only hate that I am not a rich woman, and it is difficult to stand out among so many competitors."

……

Several women muttered in various ways, and walked directly towards the open parking lot.

Lu Weiwei's teeth itch when she heard this, and she felt that most of the female customers who came here to eat looked like they were holding their hands to see the internet celebrity boss.

But what's going on with Gu Chen?

Thinking of this, Lu Weiwei also looked resentful, and directly knocked on the table to remind: "Waiter, can you clean up the table?"

"Okay, wait a moment." The kitchen assistant glanced at the direction of the yard, and hurried over with a rag to clean it up.

Gu Chen and the others also sat down casually, waiting for the three dishes to be served.

This time is no different from that day, the ingredients are all freshly made, judging from the business, they should be cooking according to the requirements of the Internet celebrity boss.

It's a little regretful that I didn't see the Internet celebrity boss.

It takes time for the chef to cook, and since the boss is not around, many female customers eat quite quickly.

Basically, after punching in for a meal, you won't stay on site for too long.

But before leaving, everyone's eyes will still stay on Gu Chen's table, and they seem to be talking about it.

Lu Weiwei tapped the bowl with her chopsticks, thinking in her heart, feeling that the cooking speed is like a snail, maybe this is the defect brought about by the pursuit of the ultimate cooking method.

Seeing Lu Weiwei's chopsticks knocking non-stop, Police Officer Wang was also a little annoyed and said: "Lu Weiwei, don't knock the bowl with your chopsticks. In the words of our hometown, you will have to beg for food from now on, do you know?"

"You are the only one who begs for food. Those people use bowls and chopsticks to make musical instruments and beat them. Don't they all have to beg for food?"

Lu Weiwei always had to argue with Officer Wang's "lessons" to be happy.

Officer Wang was about to refute, but saw a tall black shadow slowly approaching outside the small courtyard.

Officer Wang squinted his eyes, only to realize that the person who came was the boss of the internet celebrity.

"Boss Zhang, why are you listless?" Officer Wang called casually, as a greeting to the Internet celebrity boss.

But the internet celebrity boss just glanced at him and said, "Are you here?"

"Let's try it out for you to see how the real dishes are." Lu Weiwei also said with a smile, feeling that it would be easy for the boss to come over and talk about the free order.

But unexpectedly, the internet celebrity boss seemed to have no scruples, just walked slowly towards the kitchen with a low face.

While walking, I feel exhausted all over my body.

Yuan Shasha stared blankly, and quickly whispered to everyone: "What's wrong with this Internet celebrity boss? Is he sick? Why does he look listless?"

"Didn't you hear what the chef said just now? It's been like this for the past two days." Gu Chen said.

Officer Wang frowned, turned his head to look in the direction of the kitchen, and said in surprise, "The boss seems to be exhausted."

Everyone here is still guessing, and at the other end of the kitchen, the chef and the helper are also reporting the specific situation of the past two days to the Internet celebrity boss Zhang Dapao.

Including the current shortage of ingredients and the quantity that needs to be replenished, but the Internet celebrity boss doesn't seem to care, just a few perfunctory words, and then walked to an empty table and sat down again.

After a while, the net red boss said to the chef and the kitchen helper: "After finishing this last table of business, take inventory of the materials and give me a replenishment list, and you can get off work."

"Oh, thank you, boss." The kitchen assistant responded happily, feeling a little relaxed in this class.

Gu Chen could also tell that he didn't seem to do much business tonight, it seemed that the boss was in a bad mood.

But there is an empty table between the Internet celebrity boss and everyone, and it seems that he just wants to be alone.

After a while, the chef put together the three prepared dishes in person. Just as he pointed to the rice cooker and wanted to speak, Lu Weiwei interrupted directly and said:
"Serve your own food, I understand that."

"Okay." Seeing this, the chef also grinned, and then went to get a bowl of rice on his own, sat at an empty table, and enjoyed the delicious food he made.

However, the style of painting that follows is too weird.

Everyone was eating quietly, just looking at the Internet celebrity boss from time to time.

At this time, the Internet celebrity boss, as the chef said, his eyes were dull, as if possessed by an evil spirit.

Although the dishes were delicious, Gu Chen was in no mood at the moment. He took the rice bowl and filled it with a spoonful of fish soup, and walked directly to the internet celebrity boss.

The Internet celebrity boss just raised his head slightly, and asked casually, "How is it? Compared with last time, has the taste improved?"

"I've made a lot of progress. This should be the dish made according to your request?" Gu Chen also echoed.

The Internet celebrity boss nodded silently: "If you can get your affirmation, then it shouldn't be a big problem."

"What's the matter with you these days?" After finishing the pleasantries, Gu Chen started to get down to business.

But the internet celebrity boss seemed to be hesitant, he had something to say, but he couldn't confess it to Gu Chen.

After struggling for a few seconds, I still chose to deny it and said: "It's nothing, maybe it's because of too much pressure these days, and I'm a little tired, which leads to the decline of the body's immunity. I think it will be better to go to the hospital to hang some salt water."

"I think you're suffering from a mental illness, right?" Gu Chen took a bite of his meal, and said with a smile, "I don't think your expression is right, your worries are all on your face, so obviously you call it tired, it's okay if you lie to others, You can't lie to me."

Gu Chen also told the truth, wanting the boss of the Internet celebrity to give up.

After all, this is a person who has failed 30 times in starting a business. This is the 31st time. Although Gu Chen can't help him, he also hopes that he can encourage him.

Only then did the Internet celebrity boss realize Gu Chen's identity as a policeman, he hesitated for a few seconds, and chose to reveal his heart to Gu Chen.

So he glanced at the chef and the helper who were about to pack up after the meal, and reminded: "Let's put those bowls and chopsticks here. I'll clean them up later. You can get off work now."

"Okay boss." The cook didn't say anything, the helper was a young man, and he agreed very readily.

The two of them could also see that their boss had something to discuss with others, so they left quickly.

As soon as the chef and the helper left the yard, Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha came back to the table of the Internet celebrity boss and Gu Chen with the dishes.

Everyone also wants to come over and inquire about the specific situation.

Seeing that there was no one around, Gu Chen curiously asked him, "Then can you talk now?"

"I... I don't know how to start it." After the words fell, the Internet celebrity boss suddenly put his hands on his head, as if he was in a painful tangle.

Gu Chen was very puzzled, why would such a well-behaved person suddenly become so depressed?
So he patted the Internet celebrity boss on the shoulder and continued to remind him: "Don't worry, speak slowly."

"Yeah." The Internet celebrity boss nodded silently, glanced at the dishes in front of everyone, and reminded: "Why don't you guys finish eating these things first?"

"No, let's eat while you talk." Lu Weiwei didn't seem to care.

But the face of the Internet celebrity boss is quite ugly, and he doesn't agree with it.

Knowing that the boss is also a strange person, seeing this situation, Lu Weiwei could only agree embarrassingly: "That's all right, let's finish the meal first, then you can talk, we are not in a hurry."

Glancing at Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha beside him, Lu Weiwei also reminded: "Everyone, eat quickly."

After 3 minutes, under the watchful eyes of the Internet celebrity boss, everyone finally finished the food in front of them.

After eating, Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang did not forget to blow a wave of rainbow farts, praising the quality of the dishes in the hidden courtyard, economical and affordable.

But after all the good words, the Internet celebrity boss didn't mean to explain to everyone.

This made Lu Weiwei a little puzzled.

It was Gu Chen who spoke first, and asked the internet celebrity boss, "Now that we've all finished our meals, if you have anything to say, you might as well just say it."

"Yeah, I think you have something hidden in your heart. If you have something to say, just tell us and see if we can help you." Police Officer Wang was also very anxious, feeling that this Internet celebrity boss was good at keeping things secret.

But just holding back and not saying it made people wait a little impatiently.

Seeing that everyone was eager to know the reason, the boss of the Internet celebrity reached out his hand to take out a few times in his pocket, but stopped suddenly.

Glancing up at the crowd, the Internet celebrity boss still hesitated and said, "I'm afraid that if I take the food out, what you eat will have to be spit out again."

"So, why don't we talk about it another day?"

"Don't." Seeing that the net red boss played Tai Chi well, Lu Weiwei put on an angry gesture, and said solemnly:
"We are the police. We haven't seen such a big storm. What do you mean? Are you reminding us?"

"Forget it." The internet celebrity boss nodded silently.

"Then you've been digging in your trouser pocket for a long time. What are you digging for?" Lu Weiwei felt a little forced now, feeling that she had eaten the food, but you told the truth?
Just hanging everyone's appetite like this, everyone was very upset.

Seeing Lu Weiwei's resolute attitude, it should be okay considering everyone's tolerance.

The Internet celebrity boss sighed, and took out a wrapped cloth strip from his pocket.

Then, in front of everyone, the Internet celebrity boss opened the cloth strips bit by bit.

After uncovering it to the last position, he moved his hands away and revealed the object in the cloth in front of his eyes.

Seeing this, everyone squinted their eyes.

Lu Weiwei even leaned closer, only to realize that the object on the table was a severed finger with rotten flesh.

"Ouch!" Lu Weiwei forcibly held back her stomach, pointing at the internet celebrity boss, "Whose finger is this?"

"I don't know." The Internet celebrity boss seemed to hesitate, and immediately shook his head in denial.

When Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha saw this, they also felt like retching, but the two of them forcibly held back to prevent themselves from making a fool of themselves.

But Gu Chen directly picked up the cloth strip, moved the severed finger to him, took a closer look, and began to examine it carefully.

"The exterior of this finger is rotten, and the flesh has long since decomposed. It is indeed a human finger."

"Then can you use this severed finger to determine the age, gender and cause of death of this person?"

Seeing that the severed finger was rotten, the Internet celebrity boss seemed to know that this person was probably dead.

Gu Chen frowned, and said truthfully: "Gender can be determined from the DNA contained in the tissue."

"However, at this age, it's trickier, requiring forensic anthropologists to identify the bones and analyze the anatomy and signs of degeneration."

"This is actually a complicated subject, but there are a few principles that may be helpful to you."

"What principle?" Seeing that Gu Chen seemed to have a way to identify the origin of the severed finger, the Internet celebrity boss was also stunned, and hurriedly asked.

Gu Chen sighed, continued to observe the fineness of the severed finger, and whispered in his mouth: "Actually, in the early stage of life, our long bones are divided from the epiphyses at both ends, or we can call them growth plates, which are in a state of continuous growth, and the same is true for fingers. "

"Once puberty is over and those parts heal, they become as hard and close up as the rest of the bone, which usually happens around the age of 18 to 20."

"In addition, in the first 10 years or so of life, ossification, also commonly known as the process of replacing cartilage with hard bone, will gradually increase with age."

"The length of time varies widely, but often a reasonable guess can be made."

"But as a person ages, there may be arthritic changes in the finger joints and calcium loss from the bones."

"Generally speaking, anthropologists have a way to judge the approximate age from infancy to about 18 years old, and the upper and lower errors should be about one or two years."

After a pause, Gu Chen recalled briefly for a few seconds, and then said: "Also, it can be seen from about 45 years old to older, and the middle age group is not easy to distinguish."

"So bone size, length, degree of ossification, bone opening or closing, and whether arthritis is present can all be used as a basis for discrimination."

"It's certainly no problem to tell if the skeleton belongs to a 5-year-old child or an 80-year-old man."

"What if it is 50 or 60 years old?" The boss of the Internet celebrity also asked eagerly.

Gu Chen shook his head: "But if you are 50 or 60 years old, it will be much more difficult, even completely impossible."

"As for trying to deduce the cause of death based on just one or two fingers, it's simply impossible."

"If it is toxins such as arsenic and lead, there may still be residual flesh in the fingers. Of course, if there are residuals on the bones, or if they can be found in the nails."

"This kind of finding may also imply that the death is related to the toxin, but it is not strong evidence."

"And the severed finger you gave us now has long been rotten, and it seems to be a few years old. To judge what you said, you need to send it to the technical department of the Municipal Bureau for testing with the most professional equipment."

Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen tried his best to calm down, and said truthfully, "But don't expect too much."

"What I'm most interested in now is, how did you get this severed finger?"

"I... I don't know either." Looking at the severed finger in front of him, the Internet celebrity boss seemed to be in a state of anxiety, and his nerves seemed to be stimulated.

Gu Chen could see that this might be the main reason why the internet celebrity boss had been in a bad mood for the past two days.

However, the sudden appearance of severed fingers still aroused Gu Chen's vigilance.

Based on Gu Chen's naked eyes alone, this severed finger has some age.

Especially the skin and flesh have already decomposed. Even if it is sent to the Technical Department of the Municipal Bureau for Forensic Doctor Liu and Gao Chuanfeng to find a way to test, but because the conditions are too harsh, Gu Chen does not have much hope.

But the most important thing now is to ask clearly the source of the severed finger.

When the net red boss's spirit calmed down a little, Gu Chen continued to ask him: "Don't worry, just speak slowly, tell me, where did you get this severed finger?"

"Where did you get it? I don't know, but I'm sure that someone gave it to me on purpose. They must have done it on purpose. They wanted to harm me. They... Maybe they are by my side."

After the words fell, the Internet celebrity boss looked around vigilantly, as if he suspected that there were a pair of dark eyes staring at him.

Due to the vigilant actions of the Internet celebrity boss, Gu Chen and the others also began to be vigilant around them out of conditioned reflex. It seemed that the situation was a little weird.

"Senior Brother Wang." Gu Chen's eyes hinted.

Officer Wang immediately understood the meaning, patted Yuan Shasha on the shoulder, and signaled Yuan Shasha to follow him.

Gu Chen slapped Lu Weiwei.

Everyone cooperated tacitly, and immediately began to be vigilant around the surroundings.
Everyone looked in four different directions, alert to possible characters around them.

But while everyone kept absolutely quiet, a meow suddenly broke the tranquility around the secret courtyard.
