I am a super cop

Chapter 992 Death Note 【Seeking Monthly Pass】

Getting close to the plastic sheet, Gu Chen could already vaguely smell a strange smell.

This sensitive sense of smell from a profession is often more precise than ordinary people.

That's right.

Under the plastic sheet, there was indeed a corpse.

Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei came to Gu Chen's sides respectively. After putting on their gloves and masks, they began to pinch the sides of the plastic sheet and gently peel it off.

At this moment, a young woman with a good face was lying here quietly, as if she was asleep, but her expression was slightly painful.

Gu Chen began to check the woman's physical condition, and found that the woman's skin and mucous membranes were bright red.

Afterwards, Gu Chen investigated the woman's other physical characteristics, and probably had the answer in his mind.

So Gu Chen looked around and began to look for other clues.

At the bottom of the big rock, Gu Chen found a lady's red bag.

But the strange thing is that the small red bag is far away from the woman's body, so Gu Chen turned his head and asked Xiao Hu, "Have you ever moved this bag?"

"Uh……"

When Xiao Hu heard Gu Chen's remarks, he looked a little flustered.

"Yes or no?" Seeing that he did not answer, Officer Wang reminded again.

Xiao Hu and his two companions looked at each other, and then said hesitantly: "Yes... I have moved. Because we found this body, we found that she was dead, and I was a little scared."

"But we saw that there was a small bag beside her. Out of curiosity, we opened the small bag to see what was in it, so..."

"So you turned over that bag?" Lu Weiwei asked.

Several people looked at each other again...

This time, everyone just nodded silently, but did not dare to make a sound.

Gu Chen stepped forward, took the red leather bag from under the big rock, opened the zipper, and found a cup, a handwritten notebook, and some cosmetics inside.

Gu Chen carefully placed these items one by one, numbered them and took pictures.

Then he took the water glass in his hand, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it.

With the blessing of master-level observation skills, Gu Chen quickly discovered the abnormality in the cup, and his brows could not help but frown slightly.

"Junior Brother Gu." With Gu Chen's expression, Lu Weiwei immediately noticed the trick.

"Toxic." Gu Chen said.

"That is to say, this woman died of poisoning?" Lu Weiwei asked.

"Well, the woman's skin and mucous membranes are bright red, which is somewhat abnormal, and the signs of poisoning in the body are particularly obvious."

Officer Wang heard the words and glanced at the three people who reported the crime.

Perhaps frightened by Officer Wang's gaze, Xiao Hu, who called the police, quickly waved his hands and explained to himself: "Comrade police, this matter has nothing to do with us at all. We just happened to pass by and found the fast plastic sheet here."

"What are you doing here so early in the morning?" Officer Wang asked.

Another young man replied: "We are going to run a marathon recently, so we come here as a team to exercise, and we will climb a mountain every morning."

Seeing Gu Chen staring at the handbag, the man explained again: "We went to check her bag to see if there was a mobile phone or something, to see if we could contact her family, but it turned out that there was no mobile phone."

"Don't be nervous." Seeing that the man spoke tremblingly, Gu Chen told him to relax and not to have too much psychological pressure.

The man let out an "ah" and stopped talking.

What worries Gu Chen most now is that he did not find the ID card in the handbag, so he cannot identify the woman's identity for the time being.

And the water cup containing the poison was obviously the key to the woman's death.

"Hmm?" Lu Weiwei followed Gu Chen's example and checked the water glass a second time: "It smells like bitter almonds, how could she not know it's poisonous?"

"Don't smell it." Seeing that Lu Weiwei was imitating himself, Gu Chen hurriedly stopped and said, "It's potassium cyanide. It can be poisoned if inhaled in a small amount, and it may also cause poisoning if it comes in contact with the skin."

"Potassium cyanide?" Hearing Gu Chen's words, Xiao Hu and the other two companions were also dumbfounded.

Xin said that the young policeman knew what was in the water glass just by smelling it?It's powerful enough when you think about it.

One of the men stepped forward and asked Gu Chen weakly: "Comrade policeman, is this potassium cyanide powerful?"

"Yes." Gu Chen just nodded slightly, and explained: "Potassium cyanide deliquesces in humid air and releases a trace amount of hydrogen cyanide gas."

"Hydrogen cyanide has the smell of bitter almonds, is very easy to diffuse, and is easily soluble in water to form hydrocyanic acid."

"No wonder." Hearing the words, the man said with luck, "No wonder there was a smell just now, luckily I didn't touch it."

Gu Chen glanced at some remaining liquid in the cup, and said, "Cyanide is generally a colorless crystal, which is easily deliquescent in the air and has a faint odor of hydrogen cyanide, which can cause the water to smell of almonds."

"So it's right that you didn't touch it, but just to be on the safe side..." Gu Chen glanced at Yuan Shasha beside him, and said, "Xiao Yuan, take your water glass and wash their hands for them, just in case."

"Okay." Yuan Shasha took off her portable water bottle and reminded, "Come here, I don't have much water. You'd better be lucky that you don't touch potassium cyanide."

"Uh."

Several men looked at each other.

Hearing what Gu Chen said just now, I was a little scared, and hurried to Yuan Shasha one by one, ready to wash their hands.

Xiao Hu curiously asked Gu Chen: "Comrade policeman, if your hands come into contact with potassium cyanide, can you just wash them with water?"

"How should I say it?" Gu Chen didn't want to mention it at first, but he considered that several people might accidentally come into contact with the water glass containing potassium cyanide.

If not properly prepared, it may cause harm to the body.

So he turned around and explained to several people solemnly: "Listen up, you must not touch potassium cyanide, and you should avoid touching it. If you touch it, it is recommended to wash it with clean water immediately."

"After going back, you can also add a little hand sanitizer and use a toothbrush to help clean it up."

Several people nodded silently, mainly because there was a female corpse lying in front of them, and the death condition of the female corpse was the best proof.

Therefore, everyone is afraid of death, so when Gu Chen said this, everyone had to obey.

Xiao Hu, who called the police, said tremblingly: "Is this thing so scary? Then if you touch it by accident, I mean accidentally, will it be no problem to clean it like this?"

Gu Chen glanced at him, and said seriously: "You should know that if you have studied chemistry, potassium cyanide, a white spherical lump, or granular and crystalline powder, is highly toxic."

"In humid air, it deliquesces and emits a small amount of hydrogen cyanide gas. It is easily soluble in water and slightly soluble in alcohol, and its aqueous solution is strongly alkaline and hydrolyzes quickly."

"As long as it touches the wound on the skin, or inhales a small amount of powder, it can be poisoned and died."

"When it comes into contact with acid and decomposes, it can release highly toxic hydrogen cyanide gas. When it is mixed with chlorate or sodium nitrite, it can even explode. So you say it's horrible?"

"Uh……"

Seeing what Gu Chen said so clearly, Xiao Hu could only nod his head fiercely.

It can be said that Gu Chen gave him the knowledge of chemistry, so that he knew it by himself.

Seeing that the boiling water in Yuan Shasha's water glass was not enough, Xiao Hu asked again in order to save her life: "Then do you still have any water?"

Lu Weiwei paused for a moment, and asked Gu Chen and Police Officer Wang: "Junior Brother Gu, Old Wang, is there any water in the water glasses you are wearing?"

"I'm only half." Gu Chen said.

Officer Wang also said, "I have two-thirds."

"Give it all to Xiao Yuan." Lu Weiwei said.

Afterwards, Yuan Shasha directly took out the water cups from the two people's belt accessories, called them aside, and washed their hands again.

After learning about the dangers of potassium cyanide, the few life-saving teenagers here began to wash their hands desperately to save their lives.

On the other side, after Gu Chen took the woman's photo, he sent it to He Junchao in the office, asking him to help determine the woman's identity as soon as possible.

Then he took the handwritten notebook and sat cross-legged on one side to read it.

"The handwriting is not bad." Seeing the woman's soft handwriting, Gu Chen couldn't help but read it a few times.

It was found that some poems and short sentences in prose were copied by women.

But what surprised Gu Chen was that the content of these verses had nothing to do with death.

In particular, there is no lack of a large number of poems praising death.

From Gu Chen's point of view, this is very abnormal in itself.

"How could a normal person copy such things?" Gu Chen hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the woman beside him.

Lu Weiwei also leaned against Gu Chen, reading the poems that the woman copied.

If we say that at the beginning, Lu Weiwei was just admiring the woman's handwriting, but later on, Lu Weiwei also found a big problem.

The woman's poems are sad, and she seems to have no longing and nostalgia for life.

As Lu Weiwei, whose reading comprehension is not bad, there are only two words that she understands from these verses, and that is "disappointment".

"Isn't this too pessimistic?" Lu Weiwei shook her head, and said involuntarily, "Is she mentally ill? Why are the poems she copied all negative and extremely pessimistic? Sunshine is not good ?"

"Maybe it has something to do with her own experience?" Police officer Wang is currently unable to judge the woman's situation, so he can only talk about his own views based on excerpts from poems.

Then the two turned their attention to Gu Chen.

Lu Weiwei asked, "Junior Brother Gu, what do you think?"

"It seems that there is some pessimism in it, but at present, I think the most important thing is to find out her identity and see what's going on."

After a pause, Gu Chen asked Lu Weiwei: "By the way, Senior Sister Lu, is there any contact from the technical department of the Municipal Bureau?"

"We just communicated, and they will send someone over immediately." Lu Weiwei said.

Gu Chen nodded slightly: "Then it depends on the progress of Senior Brother He."

After examining the corpse, Gu Chen reached an agreement with everyone.

The woman died of poisoning, and the poisoning substance was potassium cyanide.

However, in order to determine whether there were other causes of death, it had to be brought back to the Technical Section of the Municipal Bureau for a more comprehensive test.

Since He Junchao didn't reply for the time being, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei made oral registrations for those men and recorded their identities on the record.

And when the technical department of the Municipal Bureau sent someone to carry the corpse, He Junchao finally called.

Without further ado, Gu Chen swiped the answer button: "Senior Brother He, how is the investigation going?"

"I searched your photo for a long time, and finally found a few similar faces. After technical deletion and location attribution, I finally found a person with a high degree of matching."

"Let's listen to it." Gu Chen said.

"Hmm." He Junchao coughed twice, and then said involuntarily: "This woman is called Zhuang Qing, she is currently living in an apartment I bought, and she is a widow."

"A few years ago, his husband was on a business trip and died in a car accident on the highway. He seems to be alone now."

"That's all?" Gu Chen thought He Junchao would continue talking, but he didn't expect it to be the end.

He Junchao replied, "Yes, that's all we can find out so far."

"Then where exactly is she living?" Gu Chen asked again.

"In Jiahe Apartment, Building A...No. 1102." He Junchao said.

"Okay, let's go right now."

Gu Chen hung up the phone and looked around.

After confirming that there were no other valuable clues, he called Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha and rushed towards Jiahe Apartment together.

Jiahe Apartment is considered to be an early development in Jiangnan City. It is located in the center of Jiahe Business District. It consists of two twin buildings located on both sides of the road.

Downstairs is the bustling commercial area, with all kinds of gourmet shops.

When Gu Chen came to the door of Room 1102 in Building A, he knocked on the door of the room.

However, as Gu Chen had imagined before, no one in the room responded, which just verified He Junchao's statement that he might be living alone.

So Gu Chen knocked on the doors of several other residents on the same floor one after another.

Only the door of the next room was opened with a "squeak", and a middle-aged woman came out.

She carefully looked at the people in front of her, and asked curiously, "Comrade police, who are you looking for?"

"Does this person live here?" Gu Chen opened the photo album on his mobile phone and showed her the picture of the woman taken on the spot.

The middle-aged woman frowned slightly, and finally said: "Yes, her name is Zhuang Qing, and she lives next door to me."

But feeling that the photo in Gu Chen's hand was a bit wrong, she hurriedly asked again: "What's wrong with Zhuang Qing?"

"She was found dead on a hill next to Guanhu Lake this morning." Lu Weiwei told her directly.

The middle-aged woman covered her mouth with both hands, her face frightened: "She... she died?"

But soon, her face calmed down again: "Is she finally dead?"

"What's your name?" Lu Weiwei didn't understand what the middle-aged woman meant, and frowned slightly, feeling that it was not proper to speak like that?

Perhaps because she realized that she had lost her composure, the middle-aged woman quickly explained: "I'm sorry, comrade policeman, I felt that Zhuang Qing was tired of life before, and felt that she was depressed every day, and she might do something stupid."

"And let me tell you that since her husband passed away, she has been depressed, and it is a deep depression, and she has to rely on drugs to maintain it every day."

"A lot of times, I'm afraid that she won't be able to think about it, because she doesn't like to be in contact with people in recent years, and she rarely goes out."

"So that's the case?" Understanding why the middle-aged woman reacted like this, Lu Weiwei nodded silently, and asked casually, "Then she doesn't usually go out, so what is she doing at home alone?"

"Maybe it's knitting and embroidery? I think she likes these things quite a bit, but her personality is too withdrawn, so she often sees a psychiatrist."

Looking at Gu Chen, the middle-aged woman also confessed: "That's why I heard you say that just now, and I remembered this reason, because she has been like this for the past few years."

"Is there a time when it gets better?" Gu Chen asked again.

"Better?" The woman didn't quite understand.

So Gu Chen said again: "The meaning is that we don't care about the depression in the past, just care about whether she has been extremely depressed recently, and has suicidal thoughts?"

"Uh..." The middle-aged woman froze for a moment, thought carefully for a few seconds, and then shook her head: "Aren't you embarrassing me? I don't know her recent status, and I haven't said hello to her for a long time."

"I'm usually busy with commuting and family chores, so I don't pay much attention to this neighbor."

"Okay." Gu Chen glanced at the gate of Zhuang Qing's house, then turned around and asked, "Then does she have any relatives in Jiangnan City?"

"Dear one?" The middle-aged woman was taken aback, and nodded quickly: "It seems that there is an older brother who works in... a nearby decoration company. He usually comes to the apartment to see her. He should be her closest person."

"Because in the past few years, Zhuang Qing's big and small things, including seeing a psychiatrist, are all handled by his brother. You can go and find out."

"Thank you." Gu Chen was a little excited when he got the relatives who could contact Zhuang Qing.

So I asked again: "Do you know which decoration company it is?"

"Wait for me." The woman hurriedly turned her head and ran into the living room.

Not long after, I heard the fruit box in the living room tumbling, and a middle-aged woman came out with a business card: "This is it, Hongsheng Decoration Co., Ltd., his brother works as a designer inside, you should go there and ask." clear."

"thank you very much."

"You're welcome, why don't you make a phone call and ask her brother to come over, and you come to my house for a while?"

"No, thank you for your kindness."

Although the middle-aged woman was polite in every possible way, Gu Chen still declined.

So a few people came to the elevator door, took out their mobile phones, and called Zhuang Qiang according to the contact number on the business card.

Not long after, a man responded on the phone: "Hello, who is it?"

"Is this Mr. Zhuang Qiang?" Gu Chen asked him.

The man hummed: "Yes, I am Zhuang Qiang, may I ask who you are?"

"I'm Gu Chen, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Team of the Furong Branch, and I have something to confirm with you." Gu Chen also reported his family name.

When he heard about it from the police station, Zhuang Qiang asked hesitantly: "Comrade police, did that guy Liao Gang ask you to trouble me? Let me tell you, he signed the contract himself. He made it clear, but just like that, he insisted on accusing me of cheating, so if you have anything to do, you can find him and don't bother me."

As soon as Gu Chen answered the phone, Zhuang Qiang complained.

Gu Chen smiled lightly, and said again: "Mr. Zhuang, I think you misunderstood. I'm looking for you about your sister Zhuang Qing."

"Zhuang Qing?" Hearing that it wasn't his troubles at work, Zhuang Qiang suddenly seemed to have changed his face, and replied with a light smile: "I'm sorry, comrade policeman, I was too excited just now, mainly because the recent work is too busy. Sorry, don't mind."

"I don't mind." Gu Chen said.

Zhuang Qiang asked again: "Then I would like to ask Officer Gu, what happened to my sister?"

"She's dead." Gu Chen said.
