I am a super cop

Chapter 66 The Murderer Must Be One Of Them

"Gu Chen, what are you looking at?" Police officer Wang found that Gu Chen was a little unusual, so he asked.

"No." Gu Chen withdrew his gaze and whispered, "Senior Brother Wang, you check here first, and I'll go out for a while."

"Junior Brother Gu, I'll go with you." Lu Weiwei actually noticed the movement of the resident opposite just now, and wanted to go with Gu Chen to understand the situation.

As soon as the two of them reached the door, the gap in the opposite door suddenly closed. Then, there was a faint sound of locking the door, as if someone was sneaking behind.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk!" Gu Chen knocked on the door three times and asked, "Is there anyone inside?"

After three seconds, there was no movement on the other side.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Weiwei called again: "We are the police, and we want to know something about you."

Another three seconds passed.

then……

Three seconds later and three seconds later.

Finally, I heard faint footsteps in the room, gradually approaching the door.

Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei instinctively stepped back.

"Squeak!"

The wooden door seemed a little old. Behind the crack of the door, a middle-aged woman poked her head out and asked with a defensive expression, "What's the matter?"

"We are the police, and we want to ask you about the situation of the residents across the street."

Gu Chen first revealed his identity, but as soon as he finished speaking, he found a five or six-year-old boy hugging the thigh of a middle-aged woman, hiding behind her and observing secretly.

"I'm not very clear either." The middle-aged woman didn't seem to want to cause trouble.

Gu Chen smiled frankly: "Sister, I won't delay you for a long time."

"Alright then." The middle-aged woman hesitated for a few seconds before agreeing.

If it were someone else, a middle-aged woman would definitely not want to meddle in other people's business, but Gu Chen's smile is really irresistible.

She has seen many idol stars in TV dramas, and she probably doesn't look as good as the handsome policeman in front of her, so she agreed after thinking about it.

The middle-aged woman first let Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei sit on the sofa, and then went to pour tea, while the little boy ran into the room, and then hid behind the door, revealing a small gap, hiding behind to observe secretly.

"Sister, is that your son?" Lu Weiwei asked curiously.

"That's right." The middle-aged woman brought out two glasses of water and put them on the table: "Ever since my son was beaten by the teacher in kindergarten, he has become extremely timid."

"There is such a thing?" Lu Weiwei was furious when she heard it: "Then what happened later? Has the teacher been punished?"

"The teacher was fired." The middle-aged woman sighed: "But since then, my son's personality has become very closed. When he sees strangers, he only dares to hide behind the door."

Gu Chen looked at the little boy behind the door, and smiled at him: "Little friend, look at me through the door, but you look down on me."

"Hee hee!" Unexpectedly, the little boy also showed a forced smile, and seemed to be responding.

"That's right." Gu Chen suddenly remembered that he had distributed snacks to the Criminal Investigation Team [-] in the morning, and there was a pack of candies left in his pocket, so he held it in his hand and shook it a few times at the little boy: "Here."

The little boy pursed his lips, but he couldn't come out.

"Haha, he's really timid." Lu Weiwei was also amused, so she had no choice but to take the candy from Gu Chen's hand and deliver it to him in person.

"Sister, can I ask you a few questions now?" Gu Chen took out his notebook, wanting to know something here.

"Tell me, as long as I know, I will tell you." The middle-aged woman put her hands on her knees, and her attitude was much calmer.

"Do you know the two women living opposite?"

"I will say hello when we meet, but we are not familiar."

"You must also know what happened today." Gu Chen habitually turned to his pen: "I want to hear your opinion."

The inquiries at the scene... came to a standstill again.

After a few seconds, the middle-aged woman recalled: "The two women's surname is Zhao, and they seem to be from the same place. One of them has returned to his hometown in the past few days, and the other, I didn't know until noon. She It was terrible to be killed at home."

Thinking of this, the middle-aged woman was also restless: "This woman may have been killed at home a long time ago, but I was working overtime at work last night, leaving my son at home alone. This... It's too scary to think about it. .”

"Are you alone?" Gu Chen raised his head and asked suddenly.

"Sorry, I just got divorced last year, and my son is temporarily raised by me."

"sorry."

"It's okay." The middle-aged woman didn't mind: "That's all I know, because I seldom stay at home and sometimes work overtime, so I let my son stay at home alone. Now that something like this has happened, I'm afraid I have to put down my work work, to be with my son, but there is still work to be done, so I'm bored, really bored."

What was supposed to be a good questioning session suddenly turned into a middle-aged woman confiding her heart to Gu Chen.

Lu Weiwei brought the little boy over and asked, "In other words, you were not at home last night?"

"Yes." The middle-aged woman nodded: "I'm really worried about leaving my son alone at home."

"Don't worry, we will catch the murderer as soon as possible." After comforting the middle-aged woman, Gu Chen shifted his gaze to the little boy: "Little friend, what's your name?"

"My name is Zhou Yufan." The little boy looked at the uniform on Gu Chen, feeling inexplicably close.

"Then did you find any strangers entering and leaving the aunt's house last night?" Gu Chen tried to get some useful clues from the little boy.

Reasonable reasoning is based on existing facts and correct conclusions, and then the corresponding reasoning process can be carried out, and finally the truth can be found out based on clues.

The little boy hesitated for a few seconds before nodding: "Yes."

Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei looked at each other, feeling a bit of a breakthrough.

"Then did you see clearly, who are the people entering the opposite room?" Gu Chen wanted to hit the iron while the little boy was eating candy.

But the little boy shook his head, and said in a childlike voice, "I only know that three people have entered the opposite room, but I dare not open the door."

"Why?" Lu Weiwei was puzzled: "Don't you like to hide behind the door and observe in secret? We were on the opposite side just now, and you should be the one hiding behind the door to observe, right?"

The little boy nodded, but said: "But I don't dare to open the door at night. My mother said that there will be a brain axe and a large table at night to eat children."

Lu Weiwei was also drunk, but out of safety considerations, the middle-aged woman did the right thing. After all, she was a person who had to work the night shift, so she had to educate her son to stay at home alone.

"What else do you know?" Gu Chen wanted to get some useful clues from this kid.

However, after that, no matter how Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei asked, the little boy just shook his head, as if he didn't intend to lie.

"Thank you very much for your cooperation." Gu Chen got up and shook hands with the middle-aged woman to thank her.

"I hope you can catch the murderer as soon as possible, so that I don't have to worry about it every day. I have already asked for leave for the evening shift today, but if this continues, I will lose my job."

Life is hard, and middle-aged women tell the truth.

After Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei expressed their opinions, they returned to the scene of the crime.

"You two, you have been nagging over there for a long time just now, did you ask anything new?" Officer Wang also came over to find out immediately.

"What is certain is that at least three people came in last night." Gu Chen threw out three suspects based on the clues provided by the little boy.

"That's easy." Officer Wang punched his palm and said, "As long as we can find out who has entered and exited this time period, the murderer must be one of them."

　Are there any recommended tickets?If not, I'll ask again later. (˙ー˙)
