I am a super cop

Chapter 853 Blood Pillow

No clues were found in the secret warehouse, but Gu Chen didn't feel too depressed, which is reasonable in comparison.

If the traces of the scene cannot be cleaned up in two days, it can only be said that Liu Xingyun is much simpler than he imagined.

But it is precisely to leave no traces on the scene, which is in line with Liu Xingyun's cunning nature.

If it wasn't for being entangled with women, his whereabouts would be exposed prematurely.

From Gu Chen's point of view, to find Liu Xingyun, at least a few days have to be delayed.

Coming outside the warehouse, looking at the woods behind, Gu Chen felt a little worried.

With just four people and Liu Xingyun, searching such a large forest to find clues, I'm afraid it's a bit of a needle in a haystack.

Even if Gu Chen has a professional level of observation, it is difficult to make a difference in a large area.

Gu Chen called Lu Weiwei: "Senior Sister Lu, you and Xiao Yuan go to the nearby Xiahe Village to find the village committee, and ask the village committee to bring someone over to help with the search."

"Looking for the village committee?" Lu Weiwei was stunned for a moment, and asked weakly, "You want...to let people from the village come to search the mountain?"

Gu Chen nodded: "Rely on the masses, search the mountains to find clues, relying on just a few of us is not enough, and the efficiency is not high."

"Understood." Without Gu Chen needing to say more, Lu Weiwei could understand Gu Chen's meaning in seconds, and immediately agreed: "Then you wait for me here, and I will go find someone with Xiao Yuan."

After watching Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha leave, Gu Chen asked Police Officer Wang to watch Liu Xingyun again, while he walked into the warehouse again to take pictures of the objects on the scene to collect evidence.

I don't know how long it took, but after Gu Chen numbered the coefficients of the warehouse objects, there was a lively commotion outside.

Officer Wang poked his head out from the door and said, "Gu Chen, come out quickly, Lu Weiwei and Xiao Yuan have called someone over."

"Okay, right away." Gu Chen put the last written number next to a set of wigs, then took off his gloves and walked outside.

At this moment, behind Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha, more than 20 villagers from Xiahe Village were already standing.

There were men and women, young and old, most of whom were whispering and chatting about what was going on.

Lu Weiwei pulled a middle-aged fat man, brought him to Gu Chen and introduced him, "Junior Brother Gu, this is the village chief of Xiahe Village, named Liao Zhongxiang."

"Hello Village Chief Liao, thank you for your cooperation with our police." Gu Chen reached out to shake his hand and greeted him.

Lu Weiwei hurriedly introduced Gu Chen to Village Chief Liao again: "Village Chief Liao, this is Gu Chen, the team leader of the third criminal investigation team of our Furong Branch."

"Oh, hello, Team Leader Gu." While shaking hands with Gu Chen, Liao Zhongxiang also looked up and down Gu Chen's appearance, and couldn't help sighing: "It's really awesome to be a young man, you have become a criminal investigation team at such a young age long."

Gu Chen smiled slightly: "I'm overwhelmed."

Liao Zhongxiang was not a chatterbox either. Seeing that the police found the village committee and summoned the villagers to assist in the search, he obviously realized that the situation nearby was somewhat complicated.

So he quickly introduced to Gu Chen: "Officer Gu, except for some elderly people with limited mobility, I have called you all the people in the village who can be called. Most of the young people work in the city, so I can only make up for you for the time being." There are more than 20 people."

"It's already very good." Gu Chen looked at the more than 20 people in front of him, and saluted everyone: "Thank you for your cooperation with our police work."

"Comrade police, if you need help from the villagers of Xiahe Village, just say, we will cooperate with you."

Among the crowd, an elderly man interrupted.

Gu Chen nodded slightly, pulled Liu Xingyun behind him to the front, pointed at Liu Xingyun's face and said, "Do you know who this person is?"

Everyone stared wide-eyed and shook their heads to express their ignorance.

Only a middle-aged woman couldn't help but took a few steps forward, looked around Liu Xingyun in front of her, and then said: "I know him, he is the one who rented the warehouse in my house."

Seeing that someone recognized him, Liu Xingyun lowered his head and quickly turned his head.

So the middle-aged woman walked to the side of Liu Xingyun's head again, and continued to observe, her eyes were also full of doubts.

"That's not right, he didn't look so old before, did he? Why are his eyebrows all white?"

"That's fake, he made himself into an old man." Lu Weiwei directly exposed Liu Xingyun's disguise.

The middle-aged woman was puzzled and asked Lu Weiwei: "Why? Why did you dress yourself up as an old man? He is an actor?"

"Almost." Gu Chen took the conversation and explained directly to everyone: "Let me tell you the truth, this man is a scammer, pretending to be a monk, building a fake temple, seeking money from the victim, and now he is involved in a missing persons case. "

Gu Chen took out his mobile phone, clicked on Zhang Hui's photo, and finally showed Zhang Hui's photo from left to right, and then from right to left, to the villagers of Xiahe Village in front of him to browse.

"The photo you are seeing now is the missing person we are looking for. Her name is Zhang Hui."

"And all the evidence we have now points to the suspect Liu Xingyun, that is, the bald man standing in front of you."

"We now suspect that Zhang Hui was kidnapped by Liu Xingyun, and this person may be in the warehouse area."

Looking at the old warehouse, Gu Chen said again: "But we have searched the warehouse so far and haven't found too many clues, so now our search target is the back mountain."

"Comrade police." The village chief Liao Zhongxiang stepped forward and said, "The back mountain is quite big, and it may take a long time to search. According to your opinion, has Zhang Hui already..."

Gu Chen understood the meaning of the village head Liao Zhongxiang, just nodded slightly, but said: "I hope our worries are unnecessary, but this Zhang Hui has been missing for two days, and we suspect that she has been killed."

"But no matter what, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we must do our best and try our best to find Zhang Hui."

"I understand." Hearing Gu Chen's words, the village head Liao Zhongxiang nodded slightly, and waved to the villagers:

"Folks, the police comrades said that this missing girl named Zhang Hui may be somewhere in the back mountain."

"But no matter where she is, dead or alive, we have to find her, everyone agree?"

"it is good!!!"

Under the mobilization of Liao Zhongxiang, the head of Xiahe Village, the morale of the villagers was high. Everyone was gearing up and vowed to find Zhang Hui's whereabouts in the back mountain.

Gu Chen shook hands with Liao Zhongxiang in thanks: "I am very grateful to Village Chief Liao for his great help, and also to the villagers of Xiahe Village for their enthusiasm. Thank you everyone."

"Leader Gu, don't say anything else, let's talk about how to arrange the work?" Liao Zhongxiang seemed impatient.

After all, assisting the police can give Liao Zhongxiang a sense of accomplishment.

At least in mobilizing the villagers of Xiahe Village, Gu Chen saw Liao Zhongxiang's leadership.

"In this way, we are not very familiar with the back mountain. You choose a few villagers who are familiar with the back mountain to lead the way, and we will follow behind to search, one by one, and try not to miss anything."

"It's easy to say." Hearing Gu Chen's explanation, the village head Liao Zhongxiang immediately organized a few people and said, "You guys will lead the way, and everyone will follow behind. Divide into several groups and search carefully for me."

"no problem."

"Village chief, hurry up."

Everyone seemed eager to try.

Then the village chief waved his hand, and the brigade began to walk towards the back mountain.

Gu Chen turned around and took Liu Xingyun into the police car, locked Liu Xingyun on the police car with handcuffs, and then said to Yuan Shasha: "Xiao Yuan, you watch him here, don't let him run away."

"No problem." Yuan Shasha nodded slightly.

Then Gu Chen looked at a young villager and called him over: "Little brother, you stay here with my colleagues."

"Okay." The sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy nodded silently, looking a little nervous.

Gu Chen conveniently took out the shrinking baton from his solo police equipment, handed it to the young man and said, "If this guy is playing tricks, use this to greet him."

Having said this, Gu Chen flicked the baton, and the baton was stretched instantly, and it was handed over to the young man.

Sitting in the police car, Liu Xingyun snorted twice and shook his head involuntarily.

After Liu Xingyun's instructions, Gu Chen followed the large army and went directly into the mountain behind the warehouse.

The mountain behind Xiahe Village is densely forested, but as for the vegetation, as long as there are traces of renovation, you can still see the clues.

In particular, Gu Chen mobilized more than 20 villagers from Xiahe Village to assist in the search, giving full play to the advantage of having a large number of people.

Everyone lined up, one person every four or five meters, and quickly launched a long snake formation.

Seeing this, the hare in the woods ran away in fright.

Everyone searched the woods carefully for more than an hour, going back and forth to several areas.

Finally, Gu Chen used his professional observation ability to hear two middle-aged aunts not far away who were thinking about their thoughts, and there was a movement.

Gu Chen stopped in his tracks and turned his head to look.

Within a few seconds, a middle-aged woman wearing a short sleeve with the words "Star BB Fat" on it waved her hand and shouted at her side: "Comrade police, there is something wrong here."

Gu Chen didn't think much about it, and quickly trotted over.

When everyone heard the words, they also followed closely.

Soon, Gu Chen discovered that what the middle-aged woman said was a sleeping pillow.

But something was different, the pillow seemed to be covered with blood, and there was a strange lace on one end of the pillowcase.

In Gu Chen's perception, this type of lace seems to be quite rare, at least he has never seen it.

But what's with the bloody pillow?This immediately aroused Gu Chen's suspicion.

Officer Wang trotted to Gu Chen's side, and squatted down to check the bloody pillow.

Relying on his own knowledge of blood, Officer Wang confirmed, "Gu Chen, the pillow and pillowcase are full of human blood."

"Human blood?"

Hearing Officer Wang's remarks, many villagers who had clamored to find Zhang Hui's whereabouts suddenly became nervous.

Everyone started whispering and discussing the bloody pillow.

Gu Chen stood up, looked around for a week, and found that it was not too far from the warehouse.

According to the trajectory of personnel activities, it is obvious that this bloody pillow was abandoned by Liu Xingyun with a high probability.

But the lace on this pillowcase looks like a female pillow at first glance.

Gu Chen didn't think much about it. Wearing white gloves, he inspected the bloody pillow, recorded it in detail, numbered it, and then described it.

Including how much blood is on it according to your own estimation.

Gu Chen even drew a picture of the pillow and pillowcase, and drew all the blood spots on the picture.

Since the pillow is a large item, it cannot fit in the evidence bag.

Therefore, after Gu Chen confirmed that he had recorded all the details, he took out his police dagger and cut off the corner of the blood-stained pillow with the dagger.

Then put it into a transparent evidence collection bag, fill in the number, and prepare to send it to the laboratory of the Technical Department of the Municipal Bureau for DNA testing.

"Officer Gu, what should we do now?" Gu Chen skillfully completed the evidence collection work in a short period of time.

Village head Liao Zhongxiang saw Gu Chen's expertise, so he hurried to ask him for advice.

Gu Chen stood up, put away the evidence collection bag, and then said: "I can now confirm that it is human blood, but we have not found the relevant body, and I don't know the blood type of the missing Zhang Hui."

"But it doesn't matter. We can get Zhang Hui's blood type in the later stage."

"Junior Brother Gu, according to the current situation, do you think Zhang Hui..."

Speaking of this, Lu Weiwei choked up for a moment, as if she had sensed that Zhang Hui's danger was more than good.

After all, he has been missing for two days, and all contact methods have also been interrupted.

Normally, most of them were killed in this situation, but Lu Weiwei still hoped that she would live.

Gu Chen looked at the blood-stained pillow on the ground, and said involuntarily, "Usually, when I see this kind of situation, I think of death."

"After all, judging from the blood stains on the pillow and pillowcase, there is indeed a possibility of death."

"The problem is, if the blood is coming from the head, then what we can infer from the blood on the pillow is that the wound on the head caused profuse bleeding."

"And the blood will continue to flow out, and a lot of blood will be left as a result."

After a pause, Gu Chen said again: "If these bloodstains come from a wound on the head, then I am not surprised by so much blood, maybe she is fine."

"But if the blood is squirting from somewhere else, like the aorta, and there's just some dripping blood on the pillow and pillowcase, then she's more likely to be in trouble."

"That is to say, this person is dead?" The village chief Liao Zhongxiang thought very directly.

Seeing such a scene, the first thing that comes to mind is a murder case, and it is not like Gu Chen who comprehensively analyzes the possible causes of the blood pillow from all aspects.

Gu Chen nodded slightly: "I very much hope that she is still alive, that these bloodstains are only from the wound on the head, and I also hope that this person's wound has been treated."

"But I wondered, why? Why was this thing found in the woods? Did the murderer take her here to rest for a while and prop her up? Or did the murderer use pillows to support the dead body?"

Seeing that everyone didn't quite understand, Gu Chen didn't explain too much.

Just from a bloody pillow, Gu Chen saw many problems.

At least the murderer must have been playing with this pillow for a long time...

Gu Chen observed the pillow again, and folded the pillowcase to see if he could find other types of evidence.

It's like playing origami, if you push the paper flat, it will look one way.

If you fold it three times, it will look another way.

So Gu Chen also tried to play this kind of game with this pillow, to see if another pattern would appear if the pillowcase was folded in some strange way.

However, to Gu Chen's surprise, while operating, Gu Chen actually found a blood mark in the corner of the pillowcase.

"Good guy, I almost missed this position." Gu Chen was delighted.

Lu Weiwei asked him, "You mean?"

"Blood marks, this is a very faint blood mark, quickly take a picture of it." Gu Chen said.

Although Lu Weiwei didn't understand why Gu Chen did this, she still obeyed and took pictures of the marks Gu Chen requested.

At this time, Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "After extracting this imprint, I feel like going to the laboratory of the Technical Department of the Municipal Bureau to test it with a dye enhancer called ammonia black. .”

"Ammonia black dye enhancer?" Lu Weiwei didn't quite understand.

Gu Chen said with a smile: "It is a detection reagent commonly used in forensic medicine. This reagent is used to detect cryptic imprints because it reacts with proteins in the blood."

"And when we use this reagent on that blot, many texture details that were invisible before will also appear."

"So we'd better take a set of high-resolution pictures of this imprint and send them to the lab to be examined for the cryptic imprint."

"If the source of this imprint is confirmed, then we don't need to check other things?" Village Chief Liao asked.

Gu Chen nodded slightly, but still hesitated for a moment: "I have found blood stains before, and it turned out to be the victim's in the end, because the victim was closest to those things."

Looking at the bloody pillow, Gu Chen said again: "Victims usually struggle, trying to push things away to protect themselves."

"It's an imprint that they will be able to identify and leave on other items."

"I think, based on past experience, this is probably Zhang Hui's handprint, but we have to go back and look for other evidence."

"Is the back mountain still being searched?" Liao Zhongxiang, the village head, asked.

"Search, of course we have to search, because the missing Zhang Hui hasn't been found yet, but..."

Looking at the evidence in front of him, Gu Chen felt a little worried.

The village head Liao Zhongxiang quickly understood what Gu Chen meant, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, Team Leader Gu, you should take the evidence back for testing first, and leave the rough work of searching for people to us villagers. I will notify you immediately of the situation."

"That's the best." Gu Chen was waiting for these words.

For Gu Chen now, time is very important.

If Zhang Hui hasn't been found for more than a minute, she may be more dangerous.

Now that the most suspected Liu Xingyun has pleaded not guilty, what Gu Chen needs most is to find evidence of Liu Xingyun's crime.

But the blood-stained pillow found in the woods obviously provided Gu Chen with clues to support him.

What Gu Chen has to do now is to bring these evidences back to the Technical Section of the Municipal Bureau for further testing in the laboratory.
