I am a super cop

Chapter 1738 Clone
By the river beach.

Listening to Gu Chen sorting out his thoughts here, Lu Weiwei seemed to think of something?
I have been listening to witnesses reviewing the incident before, and it is obvious that some of the rhythms have been skewed.

In the eyes of witnesses, the murderer must be a bearded man wearing a peaked cap.

But the witnesses may not be clear, maybe the murderer deliberately let the witnesses see all this.

"I see." Lu Weiwei seemed to follow Gu Chen's train of thought, and suddenly realized: "The murderer may have disguised himself as a bearded man, and it is very likely that the murderer swam from the water to the river bank, and after killing Zhang Qi , fled to the grove."

"What else?" Gu Chen continued to ask like a teacher.

Lu Weiwei scratched her cheeks: "Also... Also, if the murderer is a disguise, then he must have been seen by witnesses, but he can escape by jumping into the river, so why did he run into the woods? "

"Are you so nervous that you don't know where to go? Or..."

After hesitating for a few seconds, Lu Weiwei saw that Gu Chen had been staring at her, looking forward to her own opinion, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said:

"I know. The murderer is deliberately acting for the witnesses. If he escapes to the river, from the perspective of this landscape stone, the witnesses will not be able to find the specific appearance of the murderer at all."

"But the murderer did not do this, but chose another escape route, which is to run into the woods."

"But in this way, my body shape and appearance are completely exposed to the sight of witnesses."

"So, since this murderer committed the crime with a purpose, it is impossible not to prepare himself a way out. What's the matter if he is discovered?"

"So Senior Sister Lu thinks?" Gu Chen seemed to have seen that Lu Weiwei had already guessed the result.

And Lu Weiwei on the side also said slowly: "I think the murderer's appearance may be a disguise, and when he ran away, he deliberately let the witnesses find him, just to confuse us later."

"Maybe." After hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Gu Chen didn't speak too harshly.

So he took out his mobile phone, took a picture of the special footprints on the ground, and said:

"From the current point of view, the new footprints are bare feet, and according to eyewitnesses, the only person swimming here tonight is Liao Jianbo."

"After all, in this cold weather, the water temperature in the river is also very low. No one would run to swim on a whim. It takes enough courage."

"However, the murderer may also have landed barefoot and came from the water, which shows that at least two people were in the water at the time."

"That is to say, the murderer may sneak into the riverbank from the water, kill Zhang Qi, and then deliberately expose his appearance to the witnesses, so as to confuse everyone." Lu Weiwei thoughtfully, and said:

"Then Junior Brother Gu, can I think that this murderer is covering for someone?"

"It seems that Senior Sister Lu has already guessed it, you can tell me." Gu Chen said with a smile.

"He's covering for Liao Jianbo." Lu Weiwei blurted out.

This is also in line with Gu Chen's expectations, after all, the facts are here.

"If the murderer wanted to deliberately cover up, there must be a beneficiary. Judging from the testimony of the witnesses to Liao Jianbo at that time, it seems that Liao Jianbo's suspicion was directly ruled out."

"This clearly shows that during the whole incident, the vested interest was Liao Jianbo, who was completely excluded."

After a pause, Gu Chen continued: "Of course, this does not necessarily mean that Liao Jianbo must be related to the murderer, but at least judging from the current situation, Liao Jianbo's alibi can be explained."

"So, next, I think the murderer may continue to sneak into the water to escape after passing through the grove."

"I think so too." Lu Weiwei seemed to be thinking about it with Gu Chen.

Together, the two continued to hold the strong flashlight, and began to walk along the footprints into the woods.

After passing the soft sand and gravel on the river beach, there is a small forest in front of you.

Surrounding the woods are low lawns, which are the landscape vegetation deliberately arranged by the developer.

And that new footprint also lost its mark around the lawn.

But if you look closely, you can still see that there are traces of depressions on many green lawns.

According to the latest degree of depression of the lawn, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei tracked it all the way, and finally rediscovered the disappeared barefoot mark in the gravel near the river bank.

"Junior Brother Gu, look quickly." Lu Weiwei pointed forward with her finger, and hurriedly said: "It's footprints, the barefoot footprints just now."

"I saw it." Gu Chen silently nodded, expressing his understanding.

"Judging from the direction of the footprints, it is indeed heading towards the river." Lu Weiwei said.

Gu Chen stood by the river and carefully observed the surrounding environment.

From the woods to Liao Jianbo's swimming area, it seems that one is upstream and the other is downstream.

But this place is very secretive.

"If the murderer goes into the water here to escape, it feels completely unnecessary." Gu Chen pointed to the side of the woods and said, "Go this way, pass through the woods, and you can leave the scenic spot, and go down the river here, what is he planning?"

"Yeah, what's the motive?" Lu Weiwei was also thinking, and she couldn't help muttering: "Going down the river from here, you can either swim to the other side, or go downstream, or go upstream."

"However, in the upstream direction, it is very possible to meet Liao Jianbo who is swimming in the river, but in the downstream direction, wouldn't it be better for him to walk?"

Glancing in the direction of the opposite bank, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but exclaimed, "If you're going to the other bank..."

"It's unlikely." Before Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Gu Chen interrupted directly:

"If you swim to the other side, there is a forest area on the opposite side, which is still in the undeveloped stage."

"When we were looking for people here during the day, I paid attention to the distribution of terrain on the other side."

"It can be said that the forest on the opposite side is well protected, so the vegetation is dense, and many of them are original vegetation, the kind with vine spikes."

"If you want to escape there, your whole body will be scratched by these thorny vines, and the murderer may be barefoot, which is even more unlikely."

"The only way is to go downstream, but..." Lu Weiwei thought for a few seconds, then turned to look at Gu Chen and said, "But Junior Brother Gu, we also analyzed it just now."

"If he goes downstream, he doesn't need to swim at all. Since he has already passed through the woods under the observation of witnesses, shouldn't he just run out of the woods? And he can't swim downstream."

After the voice fell, Lu Weiwei took out her mobile phone, clicked on the picture of the scenic spot guide that she had taken with her mobile phone at the entrance of the park before, and said in front of Gu Chen:
"Look, this small river actually has beautiful scenery in this section, but it is blocked by nylon nets when it reaches the downstream."

"This place is planned by Yuan's Group to develop it into a rafting tourism project in summer."

"It's the dry season again, so a small dam is still under construction recently. Since it hasn't been built yet, it needs to intercept all kinds of garbage upstream, so there are several nylon nets here to block it."

Taking a deep breath, Lu Weiwei also said angrily, "If the murderer swims to this kind of place, then he's just looking for trouble and won't be able to swim at all."

"Yes, Senior Sister Lu is right." I feel that Lu Weiwei's analysis of this wave combined with terrain is indeed very reasonable.

So Gu Chen followed Lu Weiwei's words and replied directly:
"So it is completely impossible for the murderer to go down the river from here and swim to the other side, because the primitive vegetation will scar him all over his body, and it is not conducive to crossing the jungle."

"While swimming downstream, the murderer will be stopped by the nylon net and cannot swim to a safe area at all."

"And the murderer could have walked through the jungle and escaped in other directions, but the murderer went into the water here."

After a pause, Gu Chen also reminded: "In this kind of weather, it is almost impossible to come here to enter the water, so there is only the barefoot mark of the murderer here."

"This can almost rule out other irrelevant personnel, so in this way, there is only one swimming direction of the murderer..."

"That's upstream!"

In the last sentence, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei said in unison, they both wanted to go together.

"But..." Lu Weiwei hesitated for a moment, and thoughtfully said, "But if the murderer swims upstream, wouldn't he run into Liao Jianbo?"

"But Liao Jianbo didn't find any trace of the murderer during the questioning just now. It's very unlikely."

"After all, the river is only this wide. At that time, Liao Jianbo was in the river again, and there was no one else around."

"If someone swam past Liao Jianbo, logically speaking, he would definitely be able to find it, but he didn't."

"That's because no one swam past him at all." Gu Chen also said bluntly, "Because the murderer may be Liao Jianbo himself."

"Hisself?" Lu Weiwei was surprised for a few seconds, and then asked Gu Chen: "Then I heard from witnesses that when Liao Jianbo swam to the upstream area, he was still greeting Zhang Qi on the shore, and the two were still interacting with each other through the air. .”

"But if that's the case, then all of this was a cover-up. Liao Jianbo's purpose was to confuse the witnesses on the shore, right?"

"Maybe." Gu Chen was also thinking, and said, "But the two witnesses also repeatedly emphasized that in the interaction between the two, the woman always said the same thing, and the voice was weird."

"But if the murderer is Liao Jianbo, it is obvious that this location was carefully selected by him to create a murder incident where he was not at the scene of the crime."

"The two witnesses near the gazebo obviously became Liao Jianbo's pawns in a daze."

"Say the same thing over and over again?" Lu Weiwei folded her hands on her chest, resting her chin in thought and said, "Junior Brother Gu, if I were Zhang Qi now and you were Liao Jianbo."

"You're swimming in the river, and I'm chatting the same words and saying hello to someone you don't listen to, don't you think it's weird?"

"Of course." Gu Chen also grinned, and explained: "So this is also a doubtful point. Who would a normal person keep repeating the same greeting to someone swimming in the river?"

"This shows that Zhang Qi was not normal at that time. It is possible that Zhang Qi had died at that time."

"Already...already dead?" Lu Weiwei also exclaimed when she heard the words, "But if she is already dead, how could Zhang Qi greet Liao Jianbo in the river?"

"Senior Sister Lu." Gu Chen glanced at Lu Weiwei, and said truthfully, "I found some problems when I checked Zhang Qi's body before."

"That is the time of Zhang Qi's death, it should be around 6:25 in the evening."

"But the movement we heard from the entrance of the scenic spot was 7:5 p.m., but according to eyewitnesses, they saw the bearded man committing murder at around 6:45 p.m."

"The time when Liao Jianbo swam to the shore from the water and found Zhang Qi strangled to death was between 6:58 and 7:[-], and we rushed to the scene afterward."

"Based on the timing, the witnesses discovered that Liao Jianbo entered the water at around 6:25 p.m.."

"6:25? Doesn't that coincide with the time of Zhang Qi's death?" After hearing Gu Chen's words, Lu Weiwei also asked Gu Chen:
"Then Junior Brother Gu, you clearly knew that the time of death was tricky, so why didn't you expose Liao Jianbo's lie in person?"

"Because I didn't have evidence at the time." Gu Chen also told the truth and continued to explain:

"Think about it, Liao Jianbo has eyewitness testimony, proving that the murderer is a bearded man, and before 6:45, Zhang Qi on the bank was still greeting and interacting with Liao Jianbo in the river."

"Judging from the time, Liao Jianbo didn't have time to commit the crime at all, because without all other factors, it is obviously too idealistic and unrealistic for Liao Jianbo to swim to the shore from the water and then kill Zhang Qi."

"In that case, there may be two murderers? That's not right." Lu Weiwei still couldn't figure it out.

It feels like there is a discrepancy in time.

Gu Chen grinned: "That's right, if the murderer is Liao Jianbo, then there must be an illusion, that is, Liao Jianbo is committing the crime in a double body."

"Judging from the various conditions at the scene, it is obvious that Liao Jianbo, who was in the water at the time, did not have such conditions."

"After all, Zhang Qi on the shore has been greeting him repeatedly. This factor alone can easily interfere with everyone's judgment."

"I understand." Lu Weiwei nodded silently, and echoed, "That is to say, if Zhang Qi at that time hadn't been greeting Liao Jianbo in the river, then it can be proved that Liao Jianbo swam back to the bank after entering the water. , strangled Zhang Qi."

"But if Zhang Qi died at around 6:25 p.m., when Liao Jianbo entered the water, it means that the 'Zhang Qi' who had been greeting the shore after Liao Jianbo entered the water was actually someone else? Doesn't that mean that Zhang Qi has a clone?"

Gu Chen shook his head: "A dead person won't make any noise unless..."

"Unless what?" Lu Weiwei asked.

Gu Chen said indifferently: "Unless the Zhang Qi's movement heard by the witnesses at that time was just a pre-recorded voice, which was used to confuse the two witnesses, making the witnesses think that Zhang Qi was still alive at that time and had been talking to the water all the time. Liao Jianbo interaction."

"Only in this way can the witnesses believe that the murderer is someone else, and the murderer appears at this time with a bearded image, which can deepen the impression of the two witnesses. It really has ulterior motives."

"So it's like this?" Lu Weiwei said with relief after hearing this, before combining the environment before:
"Then I know, so the key clue is the sound of Liao Jianbo after swimming in the river. This sound may have been recorded before, so the location of the equipment is very important."

"That's right." Seeing that Lu Weiwei finally understood, Gu Chen sighed and said, "If you want to complete this murder, you have to get rid of your own suspicion."

"That obviously shows that Liao Jianbo has made careful arrangements before, and there will be no situation where he comes to the Deer Island Scenic Area and others follow him all the way."

"The only thing that can be explained is that it must be a sound-like device, which is used to play Zhang Qi's previously recorded voice, so as to confuse witnesses."

"Where will the equipment be?" Lu Weiwei looked at the river in front of her, and said thoughtfully:

"Could it have been abandoned in the river by the murderer? If so, you have to look for it in the river."

"But even if you find it, are the contents still useful?"

"This..." Gu Chen is not sure about this either, after all, the various structures developed here are all operated by the Yuan Group.

It is conceivable that Yuan's Group was building a small dam in the lower reaches of the river to store water and raise the water level of the landscape.

Then if the water is drained, can these devices be found?
Thinking of this, Gu Chen suddenly had a new idea.

"Senior Sister Lu, let's go quickly and find the leader of the tourist park." Gu Chen said.

"Ah?" Lu Weiwei froze for a moment, but quickly followed Gu Chen's pace.

The two walked all the way to the park management office.

At this moment, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha were also meeting with the leaders of the tourist attraction and discussing the specific situation.

Seeing that Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei finally arrived late, and their noses were red from the cold wind.

Officer Wang grinned, and quickly reminded, "Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, is it cold outside? Hurry up and have a cup of hot tea. I don't know where you two have gone."

"Yes, Senior Brother Gu, Senior Sister Lu, hurry up and have some hot tea." Yuan Shasha also hugged the hot tea in her hand to keep warm.

Not to mention, this deer island belongs to the mountainous area, but the temperature in the mountainous area is very low at night. It is no wonder that the deer island tourist attraction is in the trial operation stage, and tourists will be emptied at 8 pm.

It can be seen that before the official operation of the accommodation hotel, the staff here were also extremely cold.

In this case, if there are no heat preservation measures, the tourist experience will obviously be greatly reduced.

Just after Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei sat down, a middle-aged man in a suit in the tourist area immediately brewed two cups of hot tea, brought them in front of the two of them, and said politely: "Comrade policemen, drink some hot tea." Warm up."

"Thank you." Lu Weiwei thanked her, quickly covered the cup with her cold hands, and took a sip from her mouth.

But Gu Chen asked him directly: "Are you the leader here?"

"That's right." The middle-aged man in a suit nodded silently: "I am the person in charge of the Ludao Scenic Area."

"That's great, you are what I'm looking for." Gu Chendan said with a smile.

Hearing what Gu Chen said, the middle-aged man in the suit frowned, and became a little uneasy for a moment.
