I am a super cop

Chapter 356 The First Suspect

After the fire was extinguished, the fire commander immediately took Gu Chen and Officer Wang to the scene of the incident to investigate the cause of the fire.

The scene was already a mess, with traces of the fire everywhere, and several firefighters were cleaning up the scene.

"Please don't move the items on site at will, thank you for your cooperation." Gu Chen took a step ahead and stopped the work of the two firefighters.

"Listen to the police." The fire commander also ordered.

Officer Wang looked around, and quickly asked, "Where is the dead person you found? Quickly take us there to have a look."

"In the room." A firefighter soldier pointed to a room.

Without further ado, Gu Chen came to the scene one step ahead.

On the burnt floor of the room, a body was lying there.

Fortunately, the body was not as badly burned as the firefighters and fighters said.

Gu Chen took a general inspection, and except for the charred right side of the corpse, the other parts were not very serious.

"Is it like this when you found it?" Gu Chen asked one of the blackened firefighters.

"Yes." The firefighters and soldiers nodded and said, "We were conducting search operations at the time, but the fire in this room was too large, and we could only suppress it with water guns."

"It was later discovered by accident that someone had fallen down in the room, but it was useless at that time. Fortunately, the combustibles in this room were limited. We believe that the deceased died of suffocation caused by inhaling a large amount of harmful smoke."

"Understood." Gu Chen nodded, affirming the words of the firefighters and soldiers.

The room was relatively empty with very little furniture. In addition to the blackened walls, two-thirds of the floor was also burned.

Looking at the aluminum alloy windows, the glass has already burst, and the frame has been severely deformed by burning.

However, the clothes of the dead body were only burned. It can be seen that when the fire was spreading, it was extinguished by firefighters and soldiers in time, so that the body could be partially kept intact.

"Senior Brother Wang." Gu Chen took out his white gloves and called Police Officer Wang.

Officer Wang understood in seconds, and immediately took out his white gloves, and the two began to examine the corpse.

Several firefighters who were on the sidelines were suddenly puzzled and teased each other.

"It's all burnt, what else is there to check? Just carry it away."

"They are confirming their identities. They will get a stretcher later and help them out together."

"Hiss! It's too miserable, it's a bit horrible."

The firefighter commander glanced at everyone and said, "Go down first, and search each house carefully to see if there are any other victims. If there are, report them immediately."

"Yes!"

Several firefighters and fighters left after getting the order.

At this moment, Gu Chen and Officer Wang, after checking the back of the corpse, turned the charred corpse outward together.

Immediately, Gu Chen was stunned: "Mo...Mo Xiaolei?"

"What?" Officer Wang, who reacted a little slower, was also taken aback at the same time, and quickly looked at the corpse.

Although the body was severely burned in the fire, even one side of the deceased's face was scorched, but Gu Chen could still tell from the remaining half of his face that the deceased was Mo Xiaolei, the general manager of Jiangnan City Auction House.

"Why is it him?" Officer Wang was a little unbelievable.

In other words, Mo Xiaolei, who had a little relationship with him a few days ago, was suddenly burned to death in front of him, and Police Officer Wang was somewhat uncomfortable.

Officer Wang thought of many ways to meet Mo Xiaolei, but it was definitely not this way.

"Senior Brother Wang."

While Police Officer Wang was feeling emotional, Gu Chen made another discovery, pointing to Mo Xiaolei's chest and said: "The deceased Mo Xiaolei's chest seems to have a deep stab wound."

According to Gu Chen's prompt, Officer Wang touched Mo Xiaolei's chest with his hand, and sure enough, just as Gu Chen said, Mo Xiaolei's chest did indeed have marks of being stabbed by a sharp weapon.

"Do you know this person?" The fire commander on the side looked at the two puzzled.

Police Officer Wang said: "The deceased had reported the case before, so we knew each other, but I didn't expect that the deceased would meet again in this way after only a few days.

"And judging from the wound, it seems that he was stabbed to death before the fire broke out." Gu Chen continued to add.

"How could this happen?" The fire commander was a little puzzled, and immediately squatted down to examine it carefully, and then said casually, "Could it be...the cause of death of the deceased was because of the last report?"

"Isn't it?" Gu Chen said.

Last time it was just a simple fight, right and wrong were very clear, both sides were at fault.

In the end, Liu Yangguang was detained for four days and had to bear all of Mo Xiaolei's medical expenses.

Even if Liu Yangguang was dissatisfied, he would not kill for revenge, Gu Chen was still very clear about this.

Officer Wang frowned and said, "Whether it's true or not, after you go back, first arrest this Liu Yangguang and ask him. After all, he was detained administratively for beating Mo Xiaolei. I heard that he even lost his job now. Maybe it's an imbalance in my heart, a temporary revenge mentality."

Gu Chen had no objection, and nodded in acquiescence.

At this time, a firefighter soldier made a major discovery when he was investigating the living room. He hurriedly shouted: "Captain, near the sofa in the living room, I found a clockwork timing ignition device. The fire is likely to spread from here." out."

The fire commander, who was observing the police handling the case, immediately lost interest in the deceased when he heard this, and hurried to the living room.

Gu Chen and Police Officer Wang looked at each other and followed.

The sofa at the scene had long been burned, and near the sofa, the remains of a timing ignition device made of clockwork were particularly dazzling.

Gu Chen quickly looked around, there were still some flammable debris around.

Obviously, the fire is likely to be caused by this simple device, which is similar to the law of mosquito coils. After a certain period of time, combustible objects will be ignited, and then the sponge sofa will be burned.

"Sure enough, it was premeditated." After hearing what Gu Chen said earlier, combined with this simple clockwork timing ignition device, the fire commander also felt that there must be something strange about this matter.

"Comrade police, since the deceased is your former informant, and was assassinated at home, presumably only your police can find the perpetrator."

"That's for sure." Gu Chen also affirmed: "No matter what method the other party uses, we will not let him escape easily."

Officer Wang's face was pale.

The fire and the murder occurred successively in one night, which made the growling police officer Wang realize that the idea of ​​going to the old street for dinner could be over.

The most important thing now is to find the murderer who killed Mo Xiaolei.

"Gu Chen." Police officer Wang hesitated, and said: "From now on, it is obvious that after killing Mo Xiaolei, the murderer used a clockwork ignition device to ignite the room at regular intervals, and then the fire spread. A major fire ensued."

"That's right." Gu Chen also agreed with Officer Wang's opinion: "After the murder, the murderer set fire to the room in order to destroy the evidence. If we hadn't discovered it in time, I am afraid that the residents of this entire building would have to join Mo Xiaolei." , was buried in this sea of ​​fire."

The fire commander also gritted his teeth angrily: "This damn guy, isn't this too cruel? Treating the lives of the residents of the entire building as a trifle, no matter whether he came for the dead or not, just for arson, he should be punished." Cut to pieces."

Several firefighters and fighters involved in the rescue at the scene also changed their expressions instantly.

One of them said: "Comrade police, our job is to put out fires, and your job is to arrest criminals. Now that our work is basically over and the cause of the fire can be basically determined, then the rest of the work will be left to you. I hope you can get it done soon." Catch the murderer."

"Yes." Another firefighter also said: "If everyone hadn't retreated in time, I'm afraid this would not be the only body buried in the sea of ​​fire today. He chose to set the fire at night, and this guy has a heart to kill."

It was obvious that everyone was very angry.

It's hard to imagine that so many ways can be seen from a big fire.

After learning about the case, Police Officer Wang said: "The murderer must have some kind of deep and contradictory connection with the deceased Mo Xiaolei. The top priority now is to investigate the murderer's motives. Anyone who has had frequent contact with Mo Xiaolei recently Everyone should be investigated one by one."

"Senior Brother Wang." Seeing Police Officer Wang's opinion, Gu Chen quickly added: "Being able to enter Mo Xiaolei's room at night and kill him shows that the murderer is probably an old acquaintance of Mo Xiaolei. The people around him should check first."

"Yes." Officer Wang also agreed with Gu Chen's opinion.

In terms of investigation, everyone has a relatively unified consciousness.

The first thing Police Officer Wang can think of is Tony the barber——Liu Yangguang.

After all, no matter how to investigate, Liu Yangguang is the number one suspect.

early morning.

After investigating Liu Yangguang's address, Police Officer Wang and Gu Chen brought the sleeping Liu Yangguang into the Furong branch again in an apartment.

1 points in the early hours.

Liu Yangguang, who was sitting in interrogation room No. [-], squinted his eyes at this moment, blocking the glare of the light with his hands.

"Comrade police, I have already said that Mo Xiaolei's death has nothing to do with me. I have been imprisoned for 4 days. I have admitted my mistake. Can you give me a chance to reform? I really admit my mistake gone."

"Liu Yangguang." Officer Wang glared at him and continued, "I advise you to be honest, where have you been tonight?"

Liu Yangguang was also 1 unhappy, and his face was extremely ugly.

For a suspect who had just been released, he was called by the police for questioning not long after, which made Liu Yangguang feel like he had been hit by [-] points.

"Comrade police." Liu Yangguang looked at the two of them with a cold face, and said, "Since I was detained for 4 days, I have lost my job. Really, my brother-in-law, my own brother-in-law fired me, I am now Just a vagrant, where can a vagrant go?"

Seeing that Gu Chen and Police Officer Wang didn't change their faces, Liu Yangguang said again: "Of course I went to the bar to relieve my boredom. I have been in the bar tonight and played until around the early morning before returning home. I didn't expect that I just fell asleep. How long ago, your police came to knock on the door again, mother, can you let me be quiet for a while?"

"Mo Xiaolei's apartment is on fire, and you happen to be in the bar again, can't it be such a coincidence?" Police Officer Wang looked suspicious.

Of course he wouldn't believe Liu Yangguang immediately, this guy is a professional rookie, he can pretend to be a great teacher.

So before the investigation is clear, Officer Wang will still list him at the top of the suspicious list.

"Officer Wang." Liu Yangguang couldn't laugh or cry: "I don't even know what this guy is called, yes, Mo Xiaolei, I don't even know where he lives, so how could he kill people and set fire? Don't make fun of me. Definitely not me, I was at the bar with friends, but I was playing late into the night, and only went to the toilet once, and that was only 5 minutes."

In order to express more concretely, Liu Yangguang even made a gesture of five with his fingers, and continued: "It's only 5 minutes, and you can squat a big size at most. What can you do in 5 minutes? It's just a back and forth."

"Murder and arson, hehe, do you think it's possible?"

It can be seen that the police are also investigating, plus the punishment of administrative detention for 4 days last time.

Therefore, Liu Yangguang also held a grudge, and did not take the police seriously.

Therefore, when responding to police inquiries, it is also false and true, and various rhetoric is inconsistent.

Police officer Wang was a little helpless, so he had to let Liu Yangguang go home first, and then searched Liu Yangguang further after the specific investigation was released.

……

……

8:45am.

Lu Weiwei ran all the way from the dispatching room to the third criminal investigation team, opened the door and said directly: "Junior Brother Gu, Lao Wang, we have already found out."

Officer Wang, who was lying on the table, immediately revived with full blood, got up and asked, "What did you find?"

"Just Liu Yangguang." Lu Weiwei showed Gu Chen and Police Officer Wang the surveillance footage she took in the dispatch room.

"Look, kid Liu Yangguang went to this bar at 7 o'clock last night, and didn't come home until almost midnight, and he hasn't come out since then."

"What about the video inside the bar?" Officer Wang asked again.

"The staff of the bar have been asked to investigate. They also admitted that last night, Liu Yangguang was under video surveillance from the moment he entered the door to when he went out. He went to the toilet halfway before. There was no other situation. He drank with him. Several couples of men and women can sit in town."

"That is to say, we really wronged Liu Yangguang?" Officer Wang said.

Lu Weiwei corrected immediately: "It's not us, it's you."

Officer Wang:? ? ?

"That is to say, he has an alibi." After completing the records, Gu Chen asked: "The situation of Liu Yangguang in the bar, can those people guarantee that what they said is true?"

"Of course." Lu Weiwei said decisively: "After all, people can lie, but monitoring can't."

"I also asked them these questions at first, but they can use the surveillance to confirm that Liu Yangguang did not come home from playing until the early hours of the night last night. During the period, he still vomited in the bar and had some friction with a staff member."

"It's impeccable." Officer Wang slapped his head and said, "Could it be that our direction is wrong?"

"Perhaps we should investigate other people around Mo Xiaolei." Gu Chen had already hung up the phone in his hand, and just finished writing the record in his hand, and said:

"I have already consulted the Jiangnan City Auction House, which is where Mo Xiaolei worked before his death, and asked their leader for a list of people who have been in contact with Mo Xiaolei recently."

"There are some people who have been close to Mo Xiaolei recently. I think we should be able to find some clues about Mo Xiaolei's assassination from here."

After Gu Chen finished speaking, he handed the list to Police Officer Wang.

"Very good." Police officer Wang took the list, couldn't help smiling, and suddenly stood up and said to everyone, "Everyone stop what you're doing first, I have a task to assign to everyone."

"That's everyone. According to the people on the list, investigate separately. I want to find out what the people on the list were doing last night."

"They're all people around Mo Xiaolei, right?" Lu Weiwei didn't immediately agree, but turned to ask Gu Chen.

"That's right." Gu Chen also confirmed: "Everyone split up as soon as possible, and strive to investigate results in the shortest possible time. If anyone is inconsistent with the surveillance and investigation, or suspected of lying, they should be brought back to the branch office for review and see what is found. Big problem."

"Then what are you waiting for?" Lu Weiwei immediately clapped her hands and said, "Everyone, get moving and get the list from Old Wang."

After some interpretation, everyone agreed, and then they began to split up.

It's 10 am.

In everyone's efficient investigation, everyone quickly locked the target on the last suspect Wang Chun.

All had alibi and were able to find witnesses.

That's why Gu Chen, Police Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei rushed to the last suspect's house and knocked on the door of Wang Chun's house.

"Squeak!" After Wang Chun opened the door, he saw three policemen standing at the door. His expression was taken aback, but he calmed down soon.

"Comrade police, you..."

"Do you know Mo Xiaolei?" Gu Chen asked.

"Yes, that's my colleague." Wang Chun said.

"Then you should also know the news that he was burned to death last night?" Lu Weiwei who was on the side also hurriedly asked.

Wang Chun nodded and said, "I already knew about it in Moments and our work group. I really didn't expect it."

Speaking of this, Wang Chun said in a depressed mood: "I really didn't expect that Mo Xiaolei would be burned to death. We were still working together a few days ago. No matter how you say this person is gone, it's a pity."

"He was murdered." Gu Chen didn't make any detours, and directly told Wang Chun the cause of Mo Xiaolei's death: "Mo Xiaolei was first stabbed to death with a sharp weapon, and then the murderer used a clockwork to set the fire on time." The device ignited the entire room, and the fire began to spread, which eventually led to the evacuation of the entire building."

"If it weren't for the firefighters' desperate efforts to put out the fire, several people might have died together in the sea of ​​flames." Lu Weiwei on the side couldn't hold back, and followed suit.

Wang Chun was shocked and said, "What? Wasn't Mo Xiaolei burned to death? He was stabbed to death?"

"That's right." Gu Chen nodded and continued to ask, "Then Mr. Wang Chun, where were you on the night when the incident happened?"

"Me?" Wang Chun was stunned, and said weakly: "I didn't feel well last night. After I went home and had dinner, I slept until dawn. It just so happened that I was on vacation today, so I wanted to sleep well at home. Didn't you just wake up, and your police came."
