I am a super cop

Chapter 464 Key clues

Officer Wang looked at him with a bewildered smile, as if staring at a mentally retarded man.

In the picture, the picture of Zhang Chao wandering under the tree is clearly visible, as if he is waiting for something. The time and place of the picture point to the vicinity of the eastern suburbs. It seems that Officer Wang does not need to say anything, just looking at Zhang Chao quietly, See how he explained it to himself.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Zhang Chao explained, "I... I have been to the eastern suburbs, but I didn't go to Fatty Huang's house at all."

"Since you've come to the eastern suburbs but don't go in, what are you doing?" Gu Chen became more and more confused as he heard it, and hurriedly asked again.

Zhang Chao said: "I received a call from a strange person yesterday. It was from Fatty Huang. He told me to come to his house around nine o'clock tonight and wanted to talk to me about something."

"If he doesn't call me at nine o'clock, then this matter will be cancelled, and we can talk about it another day."

"I also believed what Fatty Huang said at the time, so I came to the eastern suburbs at just after nine o'clock."

"But I haven't received a call from Fatty Huang, so I have been smoking under the tree, which is what you see in the video."

Gu Chen frowned, and continued to ask: "Then you didn't call to ask?"

"Yes." Zhang Chao thought for a while, and then said, "But I called that strange number, but the other end still couldn't answer it."

"Wait a minute." Police Officer Wang suddenly interrupted Zhang Chao's speech, and continued to ask: "You mean, Fatty Huang called you from an unfamiliar phone number to come to his house to discuss this evening, and when you can't wait to call back, But found that the other party is an empty number, right?"

"That's right, that's right." Seeing Police Officer Wang say the main points, Zhang Chao quickly nodded in response.

Officer Wang asked again: "But don't you have Fatty Huang's phone number?"

"Comrade policeman." Zhang Chao felt the need to explain to himself, so he said again: "Didn't I say that before? I used to have a relationship with his wife as a superior and a subordinate, so I know his wife well, and I only have his wife. Telephone."

"As for Fatty Huang, to be honest, he is narrow-minded and not easy to get along with, so I didn't leave his phone number. Usually, I will go over if there is anything in his family that needs help."

"How many times have you met the deceased's husband, Fatty Huang?" Gu Chen asked again.

Zhang Chao thought about it for a few seconds, then hesitated and said, "It seems that there are no more than ten times before and after."

"So you can be sure that Fatty Huang is calling you?" Gu Chen said.

"That's right." Zhang Chao was very sure, as if it was a certainty.

"Although I don't spend much time with him, Fatty Huang's voice is quite special, and you can hear it immediately. He wants me to come to his house to discuss things tonight, and if he doesn't call me tonight, then Explain that the matter is cancelled, and we will make an appointment next time."

"Because I had some small conflicts with him, I also want to take this opportunity to resolve it with him. After all, his wife and I are just close friends, because when I first joined Moore Manor, it was his wife who gave me a lot of help. Step by step to achieve the position of customer service manager.”

"Although his wife has resigned, as long as there is a need, I will do my best to help. This is our friendship, but Fatty Huang doesn't think so."

"So his family relationship seems to be a little tense because of me. I also thought that Fatty Huang wanted to take this opportunity to communicate with me frankly, but I didn't expect that Xiao Yuan disappeared, but I am not a murderer."

Seeing that Zhang Chao tried his best to argue that Gu Chen could not convict him as a murderer without sufficient evidence, so he turned to look at Police Officer Wang and said, "Let's talk about it after the forensic assistant Gao Chuanfeng's test."

"Agreed." Officer Wang also yawned, and looked down at the time. The hour hand had already pointed to one o'clock in the morning.

Everyone temporarily detained Zhang Chao in the office. About half an hour later, Gao Chuanfeng walked in like a ghost, holding a fingerprint test report and saying, "The result has come out."

"How is it?" Gu Chen, who was a little sleepy, opened his eyes instantly and asked.

"The other fingerprint on the murder weapon completely matches Zhang Chao's fingerprint. This is Zhang Chao's fingerprint." Forensic assistant Gao Chuanfeng glanced at Zhang Chao.

At this moment, Zhang Chao was completely terrified and shrank back involuntarily: "This...it's impossible, I obviously didn't use this mask to kill Xiao Yuan, but...but why did I have it?" fingerprint?"

"You have to ask yourself." Lu Weiwei didn't have time to talk nonsense with him, and she was going to take him away directly: "The facts and results are already very clear. You wandered around the eastern suburbs at night, and then sneaked into Huang Fatty's house. The mask smashed Xiao Yuan to death, and then fled in embarrassment."

"But when you escaped from Huang's house, you happened to run into Huang Fatty who was returning home. After that, you ran for nearly 50 meters. In a panic, you took the murder weapon in your hand, which is this mask, and hurriedly Throw them down the rocky slope."

"But all of this was clearly seen by Fatty Huang from the balcony. If we hadn't recovered the murder weapon in the deep ditch earlier, the heavy rain might have washed away all the clues."

Thinking of this, Lu Weiwei seemed to be a little thankful that she and Gu Chen had recovered the murder weapon before the heavy rain came.

Seeing that Zhang Chao had not pleaded guilty, forensic assistant Gao Chuanfeng also walked up to him and showed him the report: "I found clear fingerprints on the mask. After comparison, these fingerprints are yours."

"No." Zhang Chao pushed the items on the table, took two steps back, and huddled in a corner: "There must be something wrong, I am not a murderer, I am really not a murderer, please believe me, please You must trust me."

He also suddenly remembered Fatty Huang, and Zhang Chao said again: "I know, all of this is caused by Fatty Huang, he killed his wife and wanted to blame me, yes, it must be like this. "

"This fat man, I've seen something wrong with him for a long time, and he suddenly asked me out with an unfamiliar number. I should have thought that things must not be so simple, and I was careless."

He looked at Gu Chen, and he had also seen Gu Chen's ability in Moore Manor before, so Zhang Chao rushed forward as if grabbing a life-saving straw, knelt down in front of Gu Chen, and hugged Gu Chen's waist tightly with both hands. thigh.

"Officer Gu, I know that you are a policeman with outstanding abilities. I am really wronged. Please save me. I am really not a murderer. Please save me."

Seeing Zhang Chao desperately swinging Gu Chen's thigh, Lu Weiwei, Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong immediately stepped forward to push him away.

But every time the fight started, Zhang Chao would struggle to break free and hug Huihuichen's thigh again, as if this was his last hope.

"Everyone calm down first." Seeing that Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong were still about to pull Zhang Chao away, Gu Chen suddenly stopped him.

"What's the matter, Gu Chen? The facts are very clear. The murder weapon has Zhang Chao's fingerprints. He said he was not the murderer. How can this be the past?" Ding Liang felt that the matter was so clear anyway, as if Zhang Chao was in the final struggle.

Gu Chen waved his hand, and then asked Zhang Chao: "Have you ever touched this mask before? Think about it carefully."

Seeing Gu Chen's sudden change of attitude, Zhang Chao, who was struggling frantically, suddenly froze.

After thinking about it carefully for a few seconds, he finally said: "I remember, the fingerprints on this mask should be left behind when I took the mask when I went to his house a few days ago."

"Did you go to Fatty Huang's house a few days ago?" Lu Weiwei felt puzzled, so she asked him again: "Then why didn't you tell me just now?"

"I... I just now? I was terrified just now, I... my mind is blank now, I... I almost can't remember anything." Zhang Chao is now like a frightened bird, his mind is buzzing, It feels like it's going to explode at any moment.

Gu Chen also stepped forward, waved Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong to release Zhang Chao, then squatted in front of him and asked, "Calm down, and tell me what happened a few days ago."

"Yes...yes, Comrade Policeman." After the ups and downs just now, Zhang Chao has not recovered from the state of panic, and his words are also trembling.

"A few days ago, it was Xiao Yuan who invited me to help out at his house. Fatty Huang was also there at the time. The main reason was that there was a problem with the power supply system at home. After all, they lived in an old flat, and I happened to know this, so just go."

"After the power supply system was repaired in his house, I found that the bronze mask in their living room was very unique, so I took it in my hand and admired it."

"It was only later that I found out that Fatty Huang bought it from the antique market. I thought it looked good, so I looked at it a few more times, but then I left."

"Did they not treat you to dinner?" Ding Liang asked.

Zhang Chao shook his head: "No, don't talk about eating, he Huang Fatty doesn't even give me a glass of water, so I know he has a problem with me."

Gu Chen held his chin and thought for a few seconds, recalling that when he was with Fatty Huang before, there seemed to be nothing suspicious about Fatty Huang's various behaviors.

Facing his wife's sudden murder, he seemed to have the idea of ​​revenge in his mind.

These are the normal reactions of the parties involved, and they are indeed unassailable.

But from what Zhang Chaoyi said, he seems to have evidence to refute it, that is, a few days ago, he went to Huang Fatty and Xiao Yuan's house to repair the power supply system of their old unit. "

The fingerprints on the bronze mask may have been left at that time. If the verification is true, it means that Zhang Chao may not be the murderer. As for whether Fatty Huang made that phone call, it seems to be the key to the case.

"Junior Brother Gu, what do you think?" Seeing him hesitating for a long time, Lu Weiwei hurriedly asked him.

"If what Zhang Chao said is true, someone must be lying. As for whether Fatty Huang called to invite Zhang Chao to come to his house tonight, it seems that this can be judged."

"You mean..." Seeing Gu Chen give his thoughts, Lu Weiwei said directly: "If Fatty Huang denies it and invites Zhang Chao to his house tonight, it means that one of these two people must be lying."

"That's what it means." Seeing that Lu Weiwei understood thoroughly, Gu Chen hurriedly said to Police Officer Wang, "Senior Brother Wang, the technical department has provided us with the test reference for reorganization, and now we can bring Zhang Chao back to the Furong branch."

"In addition, I suggest that Fatty Huang be called over to confront each other, and see who is lying between these two people."

"I agree." Officer Wang readily agreed to Gu Chen's request, and then said to Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong, "Then you two will be more fortunate, and bring Fatty Huang to the interrogation room of our Furong branch. , and the body of the deceased Xiao Yuan, please be careful, put it in a body bag and send it to the technical department."

"clear."

"Leave it to us."

Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong, who were originally on the night shift, agreed quite readily, and they turned around and left the office directly.

Afterwards, Police Officer Wang grabbed Zhang Chao's handcuffs and said to forensic assistant Gao Chuanfeng, "A corpse will be delivered later, please accept it."

"Don't worry, leave this to me." Forensic assistant Gao Chuanfeng adjusted his round-rimmed glasses, and under the reflection of the light, a white beam of light flashed across his lenses.

……

……

Two in the morning.

Furong Sub-bureau, Interrogation Room No. [-].

Fatty Huang was brought there on time.

At this moment, Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang had just finished eating instant noodles, and everyone was busy wiping their mouths and tidying up, preparing to interrogate Fatty Huang.

Fatty Huang's eyes were also red and swollen at the moment. Seeing the police put on such a posture, he hurriedly asked, "Comrade police, you have already caught Zhang Chao, right?"

"The person has been detained in our Furong branch." Lu Weiwei said.

Fatty Huang suddenly showed a ferocious face, and said, "Comrade policeman, take me to see him, I must kill this damned guy alive, and I will make him pay in blood."

Just as Fatty Huang finished speaking, Gu Chen slapped the table down and said, "Your family runs the police station? You can do whatever you want?"

"But Zhang Chao..."

"Whether Zhang Chao is guilty or not, we are still investigating." Gu Chen directly interrupted Fatty Huang's speech.

Also after several confrontations, Fatty Huang obviously felt that the young policeman in front of him seemed a bit difficult to deal with.

So I didn't dare to say anything in the interrogation room, so I had to say weakly: "Then what is the result of your investigation? As a family member of the victim, do I have the right to know?"

"I can tell you that." Seeing that Fatty Huang suddenly changed his attitude, Lu Weiwei said directly: "At present, we have indeed found Zhang Chao's fingerprints on the murder weapon, that is, the bronze mask."

"That's right, it must be him..."

He was also too excited, but seeing Gu Chen's sharp eyes staring at him again, Fatty Huang immediately shut his mouth again.

Lu Weiwei continued: "Although on the murder weapon, we only found the deceased, which is your wife Xiao Yuan, and Zhang Chao's fingerprints, but according to Zhang Chao's account, he went to your house to repair the power supply system a few days ago. Isn't there such a thing?"

"Yes... Yes." Fatty Huang also confessed honestly: "I originally wanted to go outside and hire a professional electrician to repair it, but my wife Xiao Yuan said that Zhang Chao is quite accomplished in this area, and it would be faster to ask an acquaintance to help. So I agreed."

"So... After Zhang Chao came to your house that time, he took the bronze mask you bought from the antique market, right?" Officer Wang asked again.

Fatty Huang shook his head: "This... I don't know much about it."

"That means there is a possibility." Gu Chen answered directly for him.

Fatty Huang was a little annoyed, and said: "I don't know the details, anyway, there are Zhang Chao's fingerprints on the murder weapon, no matter how he is suspected of Zhang Chao, it is impossible for my wife, Xiao Yuan, to smash herself to death with a bronze mask, right? This is absolutely impossible, so the murderer can only be Zhang Chao."

"However, if you were wearing gloves when you committed the crime, there would be no fingerprints left on the bronze mask." With one sentence from Gu Chen, Fatty Huang was suddenly speechless again.

He also found that the police were questioning him everywhere, and Fatty Huang was also very angry. After calming down, he said, "Comrade police, now my wife Xiao Yuan is gone. If you say that, aren't you showing favoritism to Zhang Chao?"

"You're wrong, we didn't favor anyone." Gu Chen opened the thermos, took a sip of water and said, "Who killed the deceased Xiao Yuan? We need to investigate objectively, and we must consider any clues."

"Although Zhang Chao left fingerprints on the murder weapon, it is obvious that these fingerprints are probably only left after he came to your house to repair the power supply system last time, not necessarily left tonight."

"But……"

Fatty Huang wanted to continue to refute, but Gu Chen said again: "But if you committed the crime and then slandered Zhang Chao, it seems to be possible."

"Haha." Also amused by Gu Chen's words, Fatty Huang gave a half-hearted smile, and said again: "I slandered Zhang Chao? Why should I slander him?"

Gu Chen also looked at Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang beside him, and then said: "Zhang Chao received an unfamiliar number before, and according to the information he provided, you are the one who called him. Please invite Zhang Chao tonight at nine o'clock." Then come to your house to discuss things."

"If you don't call again today, it means that the matter has been cancelled, but at this time, Zhang Chao called back the strange number, but it showed that he could not get through, and he had also called your wife Xiaoyuan, but no one was there. Answer."

"That's why Zhang Chao thought that tonight's event might be cancelled, so he went home and never showed up. Like you said, Zhang Chao ran out of your house in a hurry, then stumbled and ran 50 meters, and threw the murder weapon on the rocks. Downhill..."

Also listening to Gu Chen's words, Fatty Huang quickly retorted: "Nonsense, this Zhang Chao is completely full of nonsense."

Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang looked at each other, feeling a little weird, so Lu Weiwei hurriedly asked him: "Then according to what you mean..."

"I never called him at all, and I don't know his phone number at all. This Zhang Chao obviously passed me when he ran away. He was afraid that I would find out, so he made up lies."

Fatty Huang looked at Gu Chen and hurriedly said, "Comrade police, the facts are very clear. Zhang Chao killed my wife Xiao Yuan, fled in fear of crime, and discarded the murder weapon 50 meters away. We have personally verified these, so the murderer must have It's him."

"Wait a minute." It was also suddenly reminded by Fatty Huang that Gu Chen seemed to have thought of something. He raised his head and said lightly, "It seems... I still missed a key clue."
