Chapter 449

Wu Qian also received a call from Yao Xin's mother, so she rushed to the scene and almost arrived at the scene with Officer Wang.

But when they saw Yao Xin's family sitting at the door, it was immediately clear to everyone that Yao Xin's family was not lying.

Gu Chen quickly squatted in front of Yao Xin's father and asked, "Where is Yao Xin? Where is Yao Xin now? Take me to see."

"It's in the basement." Yao Xin's father was staring blankly at the moment. After standing up slowly, he walked up the steps on his own, and then turned his head and said calmly: "Officer Gu, come with me."

Unlike Yao Xin's father whom I saw yesterday, if yesterday's Yao Xin's father fell from heaven to abyss, then today he obviously fell into hell.

Not only the eyes are dull, but the body is also spiritless.

Gu Chen looked at Police Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei beside him, and after looking at each other, they followed Gu Chen in.

And Wu Qian sat beside Yao Xin's mother for a short period of comfort, and then followed everyone into Yao Xin's house.

On the sofa in the living room, Yao Xin's body was wrapped in a red carpet. Yao Xin's father directly gave up his position and said, "According to your request, I didn't destroy the scene too much."

"How did Yao Xin get discovered?" Gu Chen asked.

"Early this morning, I was going to go to the basement to get some things, but unexpectedly found that Yao Xin died inside, so I called you." After Yao Xin's father finished speaking, he suppressed his grief and wiped his tears.

Gu Chen put on a pair of white gloves, came to the sofa, and carefully lifted the red carpet.

At this moment, Yao Xin was lying there disheveled.

Lu Weiwei frowned slightly, and hurried to Yao Xin's side to help Gu Chen check together.

"There are strangle marks on the neck." Lu Weiwei immediately found the clue.

Gu Chen nodded: "Indeed."

"Could it be suffocation?" Officer Wang frowned, and said in disbelief, "Who would do this to a little girl? Isn't the method too cruel?"

Wu Qian was so frightened that she sat on the ground: "This... This is impossible, how is this possible? How could Yao Xin be strangled to death? This is not true, no."

"Sister Wu." Seeing that Wu Qian was agitated, Lu Weiwei couldn't help comforting her.

After all, Yao Xin was made famous by Wu Qian, and now she was suddenly strangled to death by cruel means, which is unacceptable to anyone.

"Yao Xin was alive and kicking a few days ago, but now...he was strangled to death? It's not fair, she should be very popular, my God, why is she so cruel?"

Wu Qian was overwhelmed at the moment.

Compared with Yao Xin's parents, Wu Qian's emotions came a little later, but Yao Xin is undoubtedly like an adopted daughter to her.

At this moment, Police Officer Wang also turned around, came to Wu Qian's side, knelt down and patted her on the shoulder and said, "Wu Qian, don't be sad, people cannot be resurrected after death, what we have to do now is to arrest the real culprit." , to find justice for Yao Xin."

"That's right." Lu Weiwei was also filled with righteous indignation.

The cute little child model I just met a few days ago disappeared in a blink of an eye, and Lu Weiwei was also in a bad mood.

And in Moments on the mobile phone, Lu Weiwei also uploaded a photo of her and Yao Xin. At that time, many girlfriends and friends liked and commented, saying that the little girl is so cute.

But now this little girl seems to only exist in the circle of friends forever.

"What is this?" While everyone was comforting each other, Gu Chen found traces of being hit with a blunt object in Yao Xin's messy long hair.

"Junior Brother Gu." Lu Weiwei quickly looked at him and asked, "Did you find anything?"

"That's right." Gu Chen gently brushed away Yao Xin's long hair, and found that the wound on Yao Xin's head was not small, and said directly: "Yao Xin was hit on the head once, and judging from the wound, it seems to be quite serious."

Touching the mark on Yao Xin's mouth, Gu Chen said again: "Also, Yao Xin may have sealed her mouth with tape, and there is obvious stickiness around the corner of her mouth."

"That's right, someone sealed Yao Xin's mouth with tape." Yao Xin's father immediately stood up, took the cut tape from a corner of the sofa, and said, "This is the tape that was stuck on Yao Xin's mouth when I found Yao Xin. , I cut it open."

Also afraid that Gu Chen would blame him, Yao's father immediately said again: "I know I shouldn't destroy the scene, but seeing my daughter like this makes me feel uncomfortable."

"It's okay." Gu Chen also patted Yao Xin's father on the shoulder, and comforted him: "As long as it hasn't been touched by too many people, we can find clues through fingerprints, but..."

Gu Chen looked at the fingerprints on the tape, and said with some doubts: "But judging from the fingerprints on this tape, it seems that there is only...one person?"

Yao Xin's father knew he was talking about himself, and hurriedly said: "But from the time I found Yao Xin to helping Yao Xin cut the tape with scissors, no one else has touched it."

"Don't worry, Mr. Yao. I didn't say you were the murderer." Gu Chen was also afraid that Yao Xin's father would think too much, so he pointed to the fingerprints on the tape and said, "From the distribution of fingerprints, it can be seen that there are only a few of yours. fingerprint."

"But if Yao Xin's mouth is to be sealed, I don't think there are only these few fingerprints."

Lu Weiwei answered immediately: "That is to say, the murderer is most likely wearing gloves?"

"It's very possible." Police officer Wang also came over and said, "You think, even the kidnapper has to draft a kidnapping letter, which shows that this is a thoughtful person. With just such a person, he would be so stupid that he would use himself to clean it up." Do you have tape in your hands?"

"And tape is the easiest thing to get fingerprints on. Unless the kidnapper is really trying to kill him, it's absolutely impossible."

"So there are only a few fingerprints of Yao Xin's father on the tape, which means that the kidnapper did wear gloves before, so he didn't leave his fingerprints on the tape." Lu Weiwei said.

"That's right." Gu Chen also basically agreed with this statement.

But looking at the strangle marks on Yao Xin's neck, the wound on his head, and the tape marks on his mouth, Gu Chen suddenly became suspicious.

"Yao Xin's head was hit with a blunt instrument, but he was strangled to death, which shows the cruelty of the murderer, but...why did he do this to a little girl?" Gu Chen looked at Yao Xin's father, Asked: "Have you offended anyone before? For example, economic disputes or something?"

"No." Yao Xin's father shook his head, then thought about it for a few seconds, and then confirmed again: "It's true, our family is honest and responsible."

"Although our daughter Yao Xin is a big celebrity, we have always kept a low profile in our behavior and we have never offended anyone."

"I can testify to this." Yao Xin's manager Wu Qian also raised her hand and said, "Yao Xin's parents are very low-key, and I have never seen them offend anyone."

"Since he didn't offend anyone, who would do this to Yao Xin? Could it be random?" Gu Chen put his hands on his chest, thought for a moment with his right hand on his chin, and then continued to unfold the red blanket.

At this moment, Yao Xin's messy clothes were unbearable to look at, obviously someone had torn his clothes during his lifetime.

If Yao Xin's neck was strangled to death with a rope, what about his head?And what tool was used to smash it?
Gu Chen glanced at Yao Xin's father, and asked again: "You found Yao Xin's basement, can you take me there to have a look?"

"Yes." Yao Xin's father didn't think too much, and led Gu Chen forward.

Since the villas in the western suburbs are some old villas, in terms of structure, there is still a big gap compared with the current villas.

The basement of Yao Xin's villa, go down by a step.

Hesitant to install tiles, it looks like an ordinary utility room.

Lu Weiwei looked around and quickly asked, "Why didn't you mention this basement last time?"

"That's right." Police Officer Wang also stretched his head to look into the basement room, and said with some doubts: "The structure is not very reasonable, but it is true that I did not check this place last time."

"It was my negligence." Yao Xin's father also said directly: "I checked the basement at the time, but I didn't find any trace of Yao Xin, so I didn't take you there."

"That's right." Lu Weiwei also affirmed: "After all, who would have thought that the kidnappers would kidnap Yao Xin in their basement? Also, after your daughter must have been killed, the kidnappers were afraid that things would be revealed, so they deliberately created a kidnapping case .”

Lu Weiwei looked at Gu Chen, and asked again: "Junior Brother Gu, do you think the kidnapper was so panicked after the murder, so I thought of writing a kidnapping letter as a cover-up."

"But because I have no experience in writing kidnapping letters, I only drafted them, what do you think?"

Gu Chen nodded and said: "Senior Sister Lu is very reasonable, maybe the kidnapper's real intention was not kidnapping, maybe Yao Xin's death was also an accident, so the kidnappers want to create the illusion that Yao Xin was kidnapped, in order to confuse Our investigation."

"If that's the case, then the kidnapping letter that was drafted would make sense."

"Then what is the intention of the kidnappers? My house doesn't seem to have lost anything?" Yao Xin's father said.

Gu Chen didn't care too much, so he could only say first: "Let us search the scene first and then talk about it."

"Okay." Seeing Gu Chen's insistence, Yao Xin's father could only agree, and took the initiative to walk to a small room and said, "This is where Yao Xin was discovered. I was shocked at the time and thought it was something that fell down." It was on the ground, but when I turned on the light, it turned out to be Yao Xin."

While Yao Xin's father was explaining, Gu Chen noticed that there were signs of being smashed on the glass window of the small room in the basement, so he hurried over to check it.

"Junior Brother Gu." Lu Weiwei found some big footprints on the ground, and hurriedly said: "These footprints by the window have mud marks, like military boots."

"That's right, they are military boots." Officer Wang also got the same answer after careful confirmation.

Gu Chen frowned, and quickly asked Yao Xin's father, "Does anyone in your family wear military boots?"

"No." Yao Xin's father denied it very simply, and said again: "In our family, I only have leather shoes and sneakers. I used to wear military boots, but that was a long time ago, and they were also broken. I lost it, and now I don’t have any military boots at home.”

"That's what the murderer left behind." Gu Chen squatted down, took out a small tape measure, measured the foreign footprint, and then came to his own conclusion.

"The murderer should be wearing a size 45 shoe. He should be quite big." Looking at Yao Xin's father, Gu Chen asked him, "What size shoe does Mr. Yao wear?"

"I wear 42." Yao Xin's father said.

Lu Weiwei glanced at Yao Xin's father, and then made an inference: "If the murderer is wearing shoes of size 45, it means he is really big."

"That's right." Yao Xin's father also agreed, "I'm 177 in height and wear a size 42 shoe. The murderer wears a 45 shoe, so he must be at least 180 tall, right?"

"Not necessarily." Gu Chen directly denied Yao Xin's father's words, and said, "What you see may not be the truth. Although the size of the shoe is indeed 45, look."

Gu Chen pointed at the imprint.

Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang immediately squatted down and took a closer look.

Wu Qian, who followed behind in silence, also asked anxiously at this moment: "Is there any problem with the shoe prints?"

"There is a big problem." Gu Chen looked up and said, "From the depth of the footprints, it seems that this person's weight is not particularly heavy, and you look at this window."

"Window?" Wu Qian was a little suspicious, and hurriedly asked Gu Chen, "What's wrong with the window?"

"The degree of broken glass." Gu Chen said directly: "The lock of this window is here. Originally, the kidnapper only needed to break a small piece of glass to open the lock. broken."

"After it was broken, not only did he not open the lock, but he crawled in directly from the broken part. What does it mean?"

"Could it be... that the kidnapper is very thin?" Wu Qian asked.

"Not necessarily." Gu Chen waved his hand directly, then pointed to the broken glass window, and asked, "What did you see from here?"

"Spider...spider? And spider webs?" Wu Qian asked weakly, then asked herself and answered, "But these spider webs can be weaved after the glass is broken. Is there any problem?"

"Of course the spider is fine. On the window where the intruder should have broken in, there is a small triangular spider web that is intact and seems to have not been disturbed. This does not explain anything, but there is something wrong with the glass." Gu Chen Seeing that Wu Qian didn't observe carefully, she had no choice but to guide her personally.

He pointed to a broken glass corner and asked, "What is this?"

"Broken glass?" Wu Qian looked at the shattered window, there was still a shattered piece of glass that hadn't fallen, and she fell into confusion immediately.

Lu Weiwei smiled and said, "Junior Brother Gu, I see, you want to tell us that the murderer probably didn't come in and out through the broken window at all."

"Because going in and out of the broken window will inevitably scrape off the crumbling glass shards, but the kidnappers didn't."

"So there is a possibility that the kidnappers probably entered the villa from other places and then smashed the glass."

"To create an illusion that the window was broken from the outside, to confuse our police investigation, and make us mistakenly believe that the murderer probably climbed into the villa from the basement window, am I right?"

Lu Weiwei explained clearly...

After following Gu Chen in the case for a long time, he can more or less deduce some amazing truths from the small clues.

Gu Chen smiled and said, "That's what it means."

Officer Wang also suddenly realized: "It seems that this murderer is not simple. Since he can use broken glass to create an illusion, then the footprints of this military boot must not be used as an absolute basis."

Yao Xin's father panicked, "Officer Gu, according to your reasoning, where did the murderer enter my house?"

"There is only one possibility." Gu Chen looked outside the door and said, "That is to enter through the main entrance, but in order to avoid suspicion, the murderer deliberately created the illusion of entering from the basement."

Looking at the traces of the scene, Gu Chen was also amazed: "He did a good job, the scene was perfect in all aspects, but there are some minor problems that were not discovered in time."

"It's like this crumbling glass shard." Gu Chen first recorded it with the law enforcement recorder, and then flicked it lightly with his fingers, and the glass shards fell instantly.

"You see, as long as there is contact with the body, it is absolutely impossible for this shard of glass to hang for so long without falling, and this." Gu Chen pointed to the iron bolt of the glass window, and said: "Obviously it can break a small piece of glass, Then the iron bolt was pulled out, but the murderer didn't do that."

"Not only did he not, when he escaped from the villa, he didn't even think about pulling out the iron bolt. This shows that the murderer must have escaped through the main entrance of the villa, and did not escape through the glass window of the small room in the basement."

"If someone really breaks in, then this shard of glass should be destroyed along with that spider web."

"Too cunning." Wu Qian was also filled with righteous indignation, but when she suddenly moved her steps, she encountered a long object, which immediately caught Gu Chen's attention.

"What is this?" Gu Chen hurried over, squatted down and picked up the object.

"It's a flashlight." Wu Qian said.

Gu Chen suddenly noticed that the corners of the flashlight were bloodstained, and it was obviously uneven, which was obviously left after being hit hard.

Gu Chen suddenly thought of something, he quickly walked out of the basement and came to Yao Xin who was on the sofa in the living room.

Seeing this, other people who didn't know why also followed Gu Chen one after another.

"Junior Brother Gu." Lu Weiwei called him.

Seeing that Gu Chen was comparing Yao Xin's head wound with the position of the corner of the flashlight, Lu Weiwei didn't bother.

According to the instructions in the forensic medical manual lent to him by Forensic Doctor Liu, Gu Chen operated according to the above procedure, and after comparing Yao Xin's wounds one by one, he suddenly said in surprise: "That's right, the flashlight is the blunt wound that hit Yao Xin's head. From the incomplete part of the flashlight and the remaining blood, it is very consistent with the position of the wound on Yao Xin's head."

"The murder weapon is a flashlight?" Wu Qian was stunned for a moment, then asked again: "But... But what happened to the strangle marks on Yao Xin's neck? Wasn't she strangled to death?"

"It's possible that she was hit on the head with a blunt object and was seriously injured, and then strangled to death by the murderer with a rope." Seeing that Wu Qian was overly surprised, Police Officer Wang quickly explained to her.

After all, in these years of experience in handling cases, Officer Wang still has some insight.

Seeing his former ex-girlfriend panicked at this moment, he also wanted to go over and comfort her a little more, to show his masculinity.

But the atmosphere at the scene did not allow it at all.
