I am a super cop

Chapter 459 Eliminated Matches 【Seeking Monthly Ticket】

The security guards took out the sticks on their bodies to strengthen their courage. They didn't know who was hiding in Ms. Liao's room. Maybe they brought a guy and it was over.

It's not that I'm afraid of not winning, the key is that I'm afraid of getting hurt.

After all, if there is really someone hiding in the room, and the other party still has a sharp weapon in his hand, and seeing so many people surrounding him, then why not ask you to do his best?

Maybe a few swings of the knife can hurt people. After all, it's not a world of martial arts now, and the plot of grabbing the blade with bare hands usually only appears in film and television dramas.

If you really want to meet someone with a knife, unless you have a strong weapon in your hand, no one will dare to resist.

Security guards work for money, and there is no need to risk their lives. This is different from the sense of mission of regular police and soldiers.

Of course, responsible security guards are not excluded...

But as far as the people in Moore Manor are concerned, they are nothing more than people recruited from nearby villages, mainly to increase the employment of local people.

Seeing what the manager said, the security guards who were not so nervous before became even more nervous.

One of the middle-aged security guards took out a stick and asked the manager weakly: "I said manager, what if there is really something hidden in here? Can we deal with this thing in our hands?"

"If you can't deal with it, why invite you here?" The hotel manager was standing and talking without backache anyway, and he was already hiding two meters behind the three security guards.

"That's not it, should we get a shield or something, after all, safety comes first." Another older white-haired security guard said.

Ms. Liao became a little impatient, and hurriedly said: "I said, what's going on with your Moore Manor? Such a thing happened in broad daylight, and now you don't even have the courage to enter my room. What kind of service are you doing?"

Ms. Liao paused for a moment, then said: "I can tell you, my diamond ring is very valuable, if it is really lost and cannot be found, you Moore Manor will bear the responsibility. "

Also being urged by Ms. Liao again, the hotel manager was obviously a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Ms. Liao, don't worry, aren't we trying to find a way?"

"You said that after you took a shower, the diamond ring disappeared. How could it be possible in broad daylight? There must be something wrong."

"Oh! So according to what you said, you mean that I hide it myself and slander your Moore Manor?" Ms. Liao immediately scolded loudly after being annoyed by the manager's words.

The manager waved his hand: "That's not what it means, let's go in now, go in now."

Also found that there were a few more strangers around him, the manager was taken aback, and asked Gu Chen, "May I ask who are you guys?"

"We were invited to the reception, and we also heard that Ms. Liao's diamond ring was missing, so we wanted to come and have a look." Gu Chen said.

"Oh, so that's how it is." The manager suddenly put down his guard and said, "Then... let's come in and have a look together."

After opening the room door with the room card, the manager followed the security guards into the room.

Ms. Liao also followed closely, came to the desk, pointed to a vacant space and said: "I put the things here at the time, it can't be wrong, other jewelry is there, but the diamond ring is missing. "

"Then how did you lock the door at that time? Can you demonstrate it to us?" As soon as Ms. Liao finished speaking, Gu Chen asked directly.

"I was..." Ms. Liao quickly walked to the door, then closed the door, hooked the anti-lock, and said: "This is the most advanced anti-lock device, I also have a hotel under my own banner, of course I know , but that’s how I locked the door.”

"I understand." Gu Chen also nodded, and said, "That is to say, it is impossible for anyone to enter the room while you are taking a shower."

"Yes, I think so too." Ms. Liao followed Gu Chen all the way to the window.

"When you take a shower, do you open the window?" Gu Chen asked again.

Ms. Liao was stunned for a while, and then said weakly: "The window... I don't seem to have touched the window."

"That is to say, the window has always been concealed, right?" Lu Weiwei also hurriedly asked her.

Ms. Liao nodded: "Yes."

Seeing that these people were familiar with Ms. Liao's situation, the manager couldn't help but say, "Eh? What do you guys do? I don't think you look like real estate developers."

After Gu Chen looked around, he took out his policeman and said, "I am a policeman from the Criminal Investigation Group [-] of the Furong Sub-bureau, and my name is Gu Chen."

Afterwards, Officer Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang also took out their police IDs one after another, expressing their feelings in front of the manager.

The manager was stunned for a moment, and his tone became more polite: "So you are the police? That's great. You are professional in investigating cases. Can you help us take a look at the scene and see if there are any suspicious points?"

Gu Chen ignored him, and continued to search the guest room with Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang.

Lu Weiwei checked the bathroom, Officer Wang checked the bedroom, and Gu Chen focused on the position of the windows.

But using his specialized observation ability, Gu Chen didn't find any useful traces by the window.

Moreover, from the window sill to the downstairs, it is a vertical structure. If the thief climbed down from the upstairs, there would definitely be some traces left on the window sill, but Gu Chen didn't see it here.

Seeing Gu Chen open the window and look upstairs, Lu Weiwei hurriedly asked the manager, "Is there anyone living upstairs?"

"Upstairs? Well... it seems that someone lives there."

"Can you be more specific?" Lu Weiwei asked again.

The manager had no choice but to take out the walkie-talkie and say, "Wait a minute, I'll ask the front desk."

It was also after some communication that a man in uniform walked up to the manager with a room card: "Manager, the room card upstairs is here, and a couple of elderly people live there."

"Elderly people?" The manager frowned, looked at Gu Chen and said, "Comrade policeman, don't you suspect that the perpetrator climbed down from upstairs?"

Gu Chen didn't speak, but Lu Weiwei said: "Since this guest room is locked, how could Ms. Liao's diamond ring be lost? So it is impossible for the perpetrator to enter and exit through the door, the only possibility is the window."

Also looking at the window sill, Lu Weiwei said again: "Do you usually cover the windows like this?"

"Almost." The manager also said seriously: "Usually, after cleaning the guest rooms, the cleaning staff will open the windows a little bit to let in the fresh air from the outside. We usually do this whenever the weather is sunny. If it is heavy, we will close it."

After discovering that Police Officer Wang had also finished the inspection, Lu Weiwei asked, "Old Wang, do you want to go upstairs together? Maybe these two old people are suspected?"

"I think it makes sense." Officer Wang also agreed with Lu Weiwei's words.

After all, it can now be ruled out that the perpetrator entered the room through the door, because the surveillance did not capture anyone at all.

And now the window, which was concealed, became the only place for the perpetrator to sneak out.

However, it is obviously difficult to climb from downstairs to upstairs, but if you want to descend from upstairs to downstairs, it may still be possible.

However, after asking the front desk, the manager learned that an elderly couple lived upstairs, obviously without such physical fitness.

But it is undeniable that everything has to be investigated before a conclusion can be drawn.

"Go and have a look." Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei walked out the door, turned around and asked Gu Chen, "Gu Chen, why don't you go?"

"Come on." Gu Chen turned around and followed everyone with doubts.

In the aisle, while leading the way, the manager introduced: "The guest room upstairs is the top floor guest room of our Moore Manor Chateau. It is impossible to go further up. This way please."

When he came to the upper floor corresponding to Ms. Liao's guest room, the manager knocked on the door politely.

There was also a quick response from inside: "Who is it?"

"Hello, I'm the customer service manager of Moore Manor."

"Oh, what's the matter?" There was still a response from the old man inside.

"It's like this. A customer who stayed downstairs lost her diamond ring, but the door was locked at the time. We wondered if someone had climbed down from your room to the guest room."

After the manager finished speaking, he quietly listened to the movement in the room.

After a while, a white-haired old man opened the door and said inexplicably: "You said someone lost something downstairs, maybe the thief climbed down from my room?"

"Hehe." The manager also laughed dryly, and quickly explained: "We are just speculating, isn't this just because we want to come to you for verification? Don't be nervous."

"Nonsense." The white-haired old man said with a displeased expression, "My wife and I have been in the room all the time and have never gone out. If you say that, don't you mean that we are thieves?"

"Master, that's not what we mean." The manager couldn't explain clearly, and turned to look at Gu Chen.

Only then did Gu Chen take out his police ID: "Master, I am a policeman from the Criminal Investigation Section [-] of the Furong Sub-bureau. The owner of the lost diamond ring lives downstairs from you, and the diamond ring is expensive. We must investigate all possible suspicious points. So please understand with your understanding."

After Gu Chen said this and took out his police ID, the old man, who was a little unhappy before, immediately calmed down and said, "Since the police comrades said so, then you go in and have a look."

After finishing speaking, the old man gave up his position and let Gu Chen and others enter the room.

Gu Chen glanced at the old lady who was watching TV in the bedroom, and then walked directly to the window sill.

Near the window sill, there is no place to fix the rope, and Gu Chen carefully inspected the window sill and found that there is indeed no trace of being rubbed by the rope.

According to normal reasoning, if the perpetrator wanted to rope down from upstairs, the friction between the rope and the window sill would be unavoidable, but it was not shown here.

"It seems that as I expected, the perpetrator did not descend from upstairs, and the window sill of Ms. Liao's room did not show any traces of friction."

"But..." Gu Chen glanced at the old man and the old lady, and suddenly felt suspicious: "But if these two people are excluded, who will be the perpetrator?"

"After all, who would have imagined that two elderly people could climb walls like Spiderman. Obviously, the direction of the investigation went wrong."

Seeing Gu Chen bow his head in thought, Officer Wang also immediately searched the window sill.

He came to the same conclusion as Gu Chen, everything on the window sill was normal, and there was no sign of someone climbing.

"This is strange." Officer Wang looked at Lu Weiwei and said, "There is nothing wrong with the window sill. Could it be that we made a mistake?"

"Since it's not upstairs, is it downstairs?" Lu Weiwei asked again.

At this time, the manager hurriedly explained: "It's impossible to go downstairs. The downstairs is the main meeting hall. The space is so big, and the windows are all falling."

"If you want to climb in this kind of place, almost everyone can find it, and there is no support point."

"That's true." After hearing what the manager said, Police Officer Wang nodded and asked Gu Chen, "Gu Chen, you usually have the most ideas. Take a look at the scene like this. Are there any other doubts?"

Gu Chen shook his head: "Not yet, but I want to go downstairs and have a look."

"Downstairs?" The manager was a little suspicious, and hurriedly asked Gu Chen, "What is there to see downstairs? It's impossible to climb downstairs."

"But if the perpetrator really entered Ms. Liao's room through the window, he must have left some clues downstairs." Gu Chen directly refuted the manager's opinion.

I also saw a few people insisting, and the manager had nothing to do, but he leaned into Gu Chen's ear and whispered: "I said comrade policeman, there are some things I can't say in front of Ms. Liao."

"Look, no one has entered Ms. Liao's room, right? She said that the ring disappeared after she took a shower. I feel very suspicious. Could it be that Ms. Liao hid the ring herself and said it was stolen? "

Also seeing Gu Chen staring at him, the manager hurriedly said, "Think about it, Ms. Liao still has other jewelry, why is that expensive diamond ring gone?"

"If you were a normal person, why would you leave these things for Ms. Liao if you didn't just search for the jewelry? That's why I think it's suspicious."

Gu Chen smiled and said, "Manager, your reasoning is not bad. According to what you said, it does make sense."

"That's right." The manager was also aggrieved, and leaned closer to Gu Chen and whispered: "To tell you the truth, last month, there was also a lady who lost her diamond ring in the guest room. I guess she directed and acted it herself."

"Self-directed and acted?" Gu Chen narrowed his eyes.

The manager nodded: "That's right, think about it, it's only been a month, and the same thing happened again, don't you think it's suspicious?"

"Last time, what was lost was a diamond ring with an average price, but this time it was expensive. If it is true as Ms. Liao said, and we at Moore Manor can't find any results, then we must be compensated."

"But you also know that Ms. Liao said that her diamond ring is very valuable, so how much should we pay? It feels a bit suspected of extortion."

Gu Chen also listened to the manager's opinion. Of course, these can only be used as a reference, and he can't trust the manager's words completely.

Judging from Ms. Liao's anxious look just now, it doesn't look like acting.

After all, Gu Chen knew a little about Ms. Liao, so there was no need for such a woman of status and status to blackmail her.

Not to mention the impact on her reputation, she has absolutely no need to offend Moore Manor.

From this point of view, Ms. Liao is not necessarily self-directed and self-acted, everything depends on the results of the investigation.

So Gu Chen said again: "Let's take us down to have a look first."

"Okay." The manager nodded, and then led everyone out. Then he folded his palms together, and said to the two old men, "I'm sorry, both of you, for disturbing your rest, and I apologize for disturbing you. Bring a fruit basket."

"Okay." The old man didn't want to argue with him, so he closed the door directly after saying a few words.

On the other side, a group of people came to the downstairs of Moore Manor Wine Castle, that is, the downstairs by the window of Ms. Liao's guest room.

Here is a clean lawn, all of which are imported from abroad, and it is very comfortable to step on.

Gu Chen directly searched the area downstairs with Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang, and Ms. Liao's window sill.

Soon, Lu Weiwei found a small match not far away, and immediately showed it to Gu Chen and said, "Junior Brother Gu, do you see this?"

"A match?" Gu Chen recognized the item in Lu Weiwei's hand at a glance.

Officer Wang also stepped forward immediately, and said in a daze, "Do you still use matches in this place?"

The manager adjusted his glasses, and hurriedly said: "Our hotel has eliminated this thing a long time ago, and it was used a few years ago, but now there are high-end lighters in the guest rooms, which are used to light cigarettes for customers. "

"In other words, this match is not the configuration of your current room?" Gu Chen asked.

The manager nodded: "That's right, but judging from the style and length of this match, it should be the configuration of Moore Manor a few years ago."

"At that time, the boss thought that using high-end matches to ration the hotel rooms would look a bit sentimental, but later found that it was not practical, so he asked us to purchase a batch of high-end lighters, which are the styles you saw in the previous search."

"I know." Gu Chen also nodded, took Lu Weiwei's match wrapped in a paper towel, and couldn't help but doubt: "The match is new and has never been used, but it rained a few days ago. A match should be wet, but this one is dry."

"Junior Brother Gu." Lu Weiwei looked at him straight in the eyes and asked, "You mean to say that this match might be the latest one dropped here, right?"

"That's what it means." Gu Chen said.

Officer Wang also hurried over, checked the matchstick carefully, and suddenly said, "Look at this."

"You mean the middle position?" Gu Chen knew what Police Officer Wang wanted to say.

"That's right." Police Officer Wang also said directly: "It seems that there are some dents. Could it be the style of this high-end match?"

"Hehe, you are thinking too much, comrade policeman." The manager immediately denied Officer Wang's guess.

At this time, Gu Chen snapped his fingers and asked the manager, "Do you remember, what did you do with the last batch of matches in the guest room? Give it away?"

"Bad...about the same." The manager also replied indifferently: "Anyway, they were all eliminated at the time, and it would be a pity to lose them. They were given to some staff in the scenic spot. It's not a valuable thing anyway."

After listening to the manager's speech, Gu Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly asked him, "Who did you give it to? Do you still remember?"
