I am a super cop

Chapter 2646 Poison
The room seemed to be sealed and the air was rather turbid, but Gu Chen smelled a stench of corpse.

Because he often deals with corpses, this smell makes Gu Chen a little scared.

"Could it be that these people are all in the room..."

As if he couldn't imagine it, Gu Chen continued to walk inside. At this time, Gu Chen found four men lying around the sofa in a mess.

Everyone seemed extremely quiet.

There were still some unfinished barbecue and beer on the coffee table, but judging from the smell, these foods had been expired for some time.

"Junior Brother Gu." Seeing this scene, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but exclaimed, but was quickly interrupted by Gu Chen.

"Don't panic, don't go in yet." At this moment, Gu Chen had already realized that the living room seemed to have become a crime scene.

Judging from the expressions of the four men, they seemed to have stopped breathing a long time ago.

At this moment, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha seemed to have understood what he meant when they saw this.

Everyone started looking for disposable foot covers and put them on their shoes.

When the landlord at the door saw this situation, he had a bad feeling for a moment, but he was blocked at the door and couldn't go in.

"You guys stay at the door first." Due to limited foot covers, Gu Chen could only let Gao Hu, He Qian, and the landlord stay at the door.

He brought Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha to the living room.

Upon checking, it was found that everyone had stopped breathing.

Seeing this scene, everyone's faces froze.

"These are symptoms of poisoning." Gu Chen frowned. He could see that several people had obvious symptoms of poisoning.

Officer Wang immediately began searching the surroundings.

Not long after, Officer Wang came out of the room, walked up to Gu Chen and said, "There is another person in the room, and he is also dead."

After hearing what Officer Wang said, Gu Chen immediately walked towards the room again.

Pushing open the door of the big room, at this moment, the man named A Zhong was lying on the bed.

Judging from the symptoms, it seems to be exactly the same as those of the people in the living room.

"How could this happen?" Gu Chen frowned. This sudden situation was indeed unexpected.

At this time, Gao Hu, He Qian and others who were standing at the door instantly understood the situation inside.

Everyone was in a state of extreme tension, as if they had never imagined that a mass poisoning would occur here.

"Notify Gao Chuanfeng from the Municipal Bureau's Technical Department and ask him to send someone over." Gu Chen took a deep breath and felt the clue in his hand. It seemed that there was no hope at this moment.

I originally thought that if I found Ah Zhong, I might be able to find Xu Yaxuan's whereabouts.

But now, these people died mysteriously in a suite in Jiangnan City.

"Dead? How did the residents inside die? All dead?" The landlord who was observing the situation at the door was so scared that his face turned blue. He was almost crying because of the situation inside. He stood at the door and choked up and said:

"Oh my, what should we do? If so many residents of a perfectly good house die, it will become a haunted house. Who will dare to rent it? It won't be easy to sell it either."

The landlord was muttering at the door, while Gu Chen and others in the house continued to examine the body.

Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha were responsible for searching every corner of the room to see if there were any other suspicious items.

Officer Wang returned to the police car downstairs and retrieved some disposable evidence bags, tweezers and other tools that were carried in the car.

When he returned to the living room, Gu Chen, wearing disposable gloves, took photos at the scene to collect evidence, and then began to inspect the items on the table.

"Gu Chen." Officer Wang handed the tweezers and evidence bag to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen took the tweezers, picked up the skewer on the coffee table, and put it in front of him to observe it.

Then Gu Chen took some drinks and beer from the table and placed them in front of him to observe.

Not long after, Gu Chen put one of the cans of beer to his nose and sniffed it.

Since he had only drunk one-third of the beer, Gu Chen could detect something strange from the smell of the beer:
"There seems to be poison in the beer." said Gu Chen.

"Is there poison in the beer?" Upon hearing what Gu Chen said, Officer Wang's eyes lit up. He also put on disposable gloves, took one of the cans of beer in his hand, placed it at the right position on his nose, and fanned it with his palm.

But after half a day, Officer Wang didn't react at all.

Seeing this, Lu Weiwei, who had just returned from the inspection, asked Officer Wang: "Old Wang, do you smell anything?"

"Uh...this..."

After hesitating for a moment, Officer Wang quickly explained, "I had a cold recently and my nose was a little stuffy, so I didn't smell anything."

"Then we can only ask Gao Chuanfeng from the Municipal Bureau's Technical Department to come and do the tests." Yuan Shasha said.

"Several people died three days ago. The time of death was probably between 8 and 10 o'clock in the evening three days ago."

Gu Chen used his master-level observation skills and made a rough judgment after studying the characteristics of the deaths of many people.

Gao Hu, who was standing at the door to maintain order, asked, "Did any fight happen between them?"

"Nothing has been found yet. We need to take the body back to the technical department's testing room for an autopsy before we can make a final conclusion."

It is not convenient for Gu Chen to perform an autopsy on the spot at the moment, so he can only wait for Gao Chuanfeng from the Municipal Bureau’s Technical Department to come.

In order to reassure Gao Hu, Gu Chen also gave a preliminary inference:
"From the current situation of the few people, the fight...did not happen."

"Perhaps these people drank the poisonous beer, which led to collective poisoning."

"However, according to my inference, the toxicity should be relatively strong, and it is very likely that someone deliberately poisoned it."

"Deliberately poisoning?" After hearing Gu Chen's explanation, He Qian became a little anxious and quickly said:
"Who wants to make things difficult for them for no reason? They are all from Xiangnan City. It seems that they don't have any enemies in Jiangnan City, right?"

"It's hard to say." Officer Wang shook his head and expressed his opinion:

"Based on the current situation, it's very complicated. These people came here from Shonan City without any reason."

"Besides, he even rented a room here. What is he planning to do? He must be here to do something."

"The most important thing for us now is to find out their real purpose for coming to Jiangnan City."

"That's right." As soon as Officer Wang finished speaking, Gu Chen also expressed his opinion:

"They had a very good relationship with Xu Tianxia, ​​and now Xu Tianxia fell from a tall building for no apparent reason."

"And these people suddenly left Shonan City and rented a house here. Their behavior is extremely suspicious."

"Now, these few people have suddenly been poisoned collectively, and the poison is very strong."

"This shows that someone wanted to kill them, so they chose to poison them."

"But who is the key person?" Gao Hu said.

"Someone related to Xu Tianxia's death." Gu Chen didn't dare to say this before, but based on the current circumstances, Gu Chen felt that it was most likely related to Xu Tianxia's death.

"Fuck, what on earth is going on?" Gao Hu was so angry that he started to curse. Lu Weiwei tried to comfort him, "Officer Gao, don't worry now. It's useless. The most important thing for us now is to find out how these people were poisoned and who is the one who poisoned them."

"All of this needs to be sorted out based on the timeline. After all, they are very close to Xu Tianxia."

With a faint sigh, Lu Weiwei continued, "I always feel that there seem to be some secrets hidden behind these people."

"I even suspect that this group of people came to Jiangnan City to avoid the limelight."

"It may be that Xu Tianxia's death made them panic, so they hid here and rented a house, but they did not pay attention to food safety and were secretly poisoned."

"Then we must find the murderer as soon as possible, especially investigate these drinks and food to see where they bought them from." He Qian at the door was also a little impatient.

It feels like the suspects that everyone worked so hard to find are now dead here. It's hard for everyone to remain calm.

The successive setbacks caused everyone's morale to plummet.

……

……

Not long after, there was a sound of vehicle movement outside, and soon, Gu Chen heard Gao Chuanfeng's movement outside the window.

At this moment, Gu Chen had already finished his phone call with He Junchao and asked He Junchao to help trace the location where these people bought the food.

"Gu Chen." Soon, forensic doctor Gao Chuanfeng and his assistants arrived at the door of the scene.

"Come in." Gu Chen said.

Gao Chuanfeng and others immediately began to put on shoe covers, gloves, masks and head covers.

After completing all the operations, he walked to Gu Chen and looked at the four men lying on the sofa.

"They all died of poisoning. I suspect someone poisoned the beer. Take it back for testing." Gu Chen had actually completed the preliminary testing work for forensic doctor Gao Chuanfeng.

At this time, Gao Chuanfeng only needed to complete the finishing work according to Gu Chen's instructions.

This is the tacit understanding of the two people's cooperation.

"Understood. You guys, hurry up." Gao Chuanfeng didn't even have to do it himself. He instructed several forensic assistants around him to complete the operation.

Gu Chen and his companions retreated to the door.

"Director Gu, we must hurry to find the murderer, because several days have passed since the death, and the murderer may have already escaped."

"But you must not let him go. You must track down the murderer. We are running out of time."

"Don't worry, Officer Gao. As long as our investigation yields results, I will inform you as soon as possible."

After taking a deep breath, Gu Chen turned around and looked at the forensic assistant team in the room, and reminded them:
"Oh, there's another one in the room, remember that."

"No problem, leave it to us." Hearing Gu Chen's words, forensic doctor Gao Chuanfeng also echoed.

Afterwards, Gu Chen's team collectively left the room and prepared to go downstairs to wait for other results.

Because a large number of people gathered here, Gu Chen needed to make room.

Arriving at the entrance of the apartment building downstairs, Gu Chen and his companions stood casually around the nearby garden.

At this time, Gu Chen took out his mobile phone, glanced at it, and put it back into his pocket.

But at this moment the cell phone rang again.

Without saying anything, Gu Chen took out his phone again and swiped the answer button: "Senior Brother He."

"Gu Chen, I have checked. According to the timeline of death you gave, I focused on checking the barbecue food stalls near the Lvyuan community and found that these people did buy a lot of barbecue at a barbecue restaurant in the evening."

"And their drinks all come from the small shop next to the barbecue restaurant."

"What's the name of the barbecue restaurant?" Gu Chen asked.

"Ajin BBQ." said He Junchao on the phone.

"Is there only one store nearby?" Gu Chen asked.

"Yes, there is a store on the left of Ajin BBQ and a restaurant on the right."

"One of them here went to the store on the left to buy the items."

"Not long after he went in, the man came out with a bag, and then the group returned to their residence in Lvyuan Community together."

"Okay, send me the location." After hearing this explanation, Gu Chen hurriedly urged.

"I've sent it to you, remember to check it."

"Thank you, Brother He."

……

After the two of them had a brief conversation, Gu Chen hung up the phone.

At this time, Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang, Yuan Shasha and others also surrounded them instantly.

Gao Hu and He Qian also gathered around Gu Chen.

"Ajin BBQ is 50 meters to the left of the main entrance of Lvyuan Community. Beer can be bought from the store on the left." Gu Chen repeated to everyone the message that He Junchao had just sent him.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go." Gao Hu was very anxious now and didn't want to delay for a moment.

Everyone went out of the gate of Lvyuan Community without hesitation, then walked 50 meters to the left and arrived at the convenience store.

This store is not very big, but it has a lot of goods.

Perhaps because it is close to the surrounding restaurants, business is pretty good.

The boss was a middle-aged woman who was playing with her cell phone at the moment and seemed not to have noticed Gu Chen and the others at the door at all.

"Boss lady." Gu Chen reminded.

"Ah?" The proprietress turned her head and saw Gu Chen, and smiled: "Isn't this Officer Gu? Why are you here?"

"Investigating a case." Gu Chen just responded casually, then walked to the shelf, picked up a can of beer and put it on the cash register.

The proprietress took one look at Gu Chen and joked, "Officer Gu, you're investigating a case, and you're still drinking? Although this beer has a low alcohol content, it's still alcohol. You might as well just drink something."

The proprietress also kindly reminded him, thinking that Gu Chen had taken the goods.

After all, there are many policemen who come to the store to buy a glass of water or a bottle of drink, so they are afraid that Gu Chen will violate discipline during work.

But Gu Chen pointed at the can of beer and asked, "Where did you get this can of beer from? Is this kind of beer sold in Jiangnan City?"

After all, when Gu Chen saw the packaging of the beer can, he felt that this pattern was very rare and it didn't seem like a popular brand.

After all, my family runs a wholesale supermarket selling non-staple food.
