Chapter 222 Black Shadow [Please vote for me]

Gu Chen has always liked bold reasoning. This is what he likes to do most after he has master-level reasonable reasoning.

Reasoning is like a combination game, where originally independent clues are linked together by means of combination advancement.

One clue may not reveal anything fishy.

But when two, three, or even more clues are put together, the truth often becomes very close.

After going through Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang, and some of his own inferences, Gu Chen can now roughly draw a few conclusions.

First, the poisonous wine Yi Chen drank may be Lao Han’s private beer.

Because judging from the onset time of toxicity, it is more in line with the facts.

The time from when Yi Chen walked out of the door to when he fell to the ground and vomited blood was close to the situation of alcohol poisoning.

Second, although Yichen was most likely poisoned by Lao Han’s private possession of poisonous wine, judging from the way everyone took the wine, it was purely a random operation.

In other words, Lao Han didn’t go out of his way to help Yi Chen pick up wine.

This is contradictory to the first point, and it is also the problem that everyone needs to solve most.

As for the third point, judging from the motive, it seems that Lao Han is indeed the most suspicious.

The conflict between the two people can be said to be as deep as ice.

Yichen seemed to have planned to leave for a long time, but Lao Han’s business became a stumbling block for him.

Lao Han made Yichen popular, and Yichen made Lao Han’s Qingba popular, but once Yichen left with those few songs.

Let’s not talk about the future of the bar. At least in a short period of time, it is a certain fact that the business will be affected.

Because many of the customers in Qingqing Bar came here for Yi Chen.

So now, the scope of reasoning continues to expand…

If you exclude yourself, Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang among the six people, then only Lao Han, Yichen and Junze will remain.

Yichen is the victim, and the poisoner can only be Lao Han or Junze.

But if you want to know what methods the murderer used, Gu Chen’s expert memory alone is not enough.

Many details of the characters at that time are still invisible…

What I can occasionally remember are only fragments, far from meeting the requirements for handling cases.

Lu Weiwei looked down at her watch and said, “It’s now 10 minutes past 1 am. To investigate who poisoned the person, we definitely need to call in surveillance from the Style Qing Bar. But will it be too late now? Tomorrow If you go to investigate, many important clues may disappear.”

“The business sign of Gediao Qing Bar says that the business hours are from 10 a.m. to 2 a.m.,” Gu Chen said.

Lu Weiwei was stunned: “Junior Brother Gu, can you remember this?”

“You think everyone is like you. You only remember the name of the singer.” Officer Wang also came to make up for it.

Lu Weiwei felt inexplicably embarrassed and said with a smile: “That means we still have time now. We can get to the Gedou Qing Bar before it closes and pull out the surveillance video.”

“Whether we can find out or not is one thing, but we must do our best.” After Officer Wang relieved his eye fatigue with a set of eye exercises, he then looked at Gu Chen beside him and asked: “Gu Chen, are you going?”

“Go, of course you have to go, the clues can only be found in the bar.” Gu Chen said.

“What about you? Lu Weiwei.” Officer Wang asked again.

“I will go wherever Junior Brother Gu goes.” Looking down at the time, Lu Weiwei frowned and said, “Hurry up, Old Wang, if you don’t leave, everything will be over as soon as the bar is cleared and closed.”

Regarding the urgency of time, the three of them reached a unanimous consensus.

After leaving the hospital, the three of them took a taxi at the door and went directly to the door of Qingqing Bar.

It was already 1:30 in the morning.

Although there is still half an hour before the closing time of the stylish bar, there are already very few customers inside.

As the last few customers left the bar, a waiter prepared to close the door and clean the bar.

“Tuk tuk tuk.” Officer Wang knocked on the door several times.

The waiter turned around and said, “Sorry, we’re closed now.”

Officer Wang pointed to the business hours on the glass door and said, “Your business hours are two o’clock in the morning, and it’s not here yet.”

The waiter was a little embarrassed.

Originally, I thought that the customers would leave quickly so that I could clean up early, but at this time, customers came again, and I had to postpone my get off work.

“Open the door.” Officer Wang reminded again.

The waiter was a little helpless and had to open the door to clear the bar.

At this moment, the other bartender has also packed his things and is ready to leave work at any time.

Seeing the waiter letting the customer in again, he was a little speechless and said, “What’s the matter with you? Are you letting people in at this time?”

“We are the police.” Lu Weiwei took out her police card from her body and showed it in front of the two of them.

“Eh? Aren’t you the same people who were drinking with the boss just now?” The bartender quickly recognized the three of them, and his tone suddenly became polite and said, “What’s going on? So you are the police?”

“We suspect that someone in your bar deliberately poisoned you.” Gu Chen said, looking up at the camera above the bar.

There are two in total, one installed in the side corner and one installed behind the bar, just opposite the bar.

The bartender was a little panicked when he heard this and said: “Police…Comrade police, are you mistaken? Weren’t you just drinking with the boss?”

“It’s because of the problem with the wine that the injured person is still lying in the hospital.” Gu Chen walked directly past the bartender, pointed at the camera above his head and said, “Can you help me get the surveillance for tonight?”

“Of course you can.” Although the bartender didn’t know much about tonight’s situation, he was still very cooperative.

The computer that clicked on the monitoring page stepped aside and said: “Tonight’s monitoring is all here, you can search it at will.”

“Thank you for your cooperation.” Lu Weiwei also came over and stood beside Gu Chen.

Gu Chen first clicked on the surveillance screen at the side corner of the bar, and then adjusted the screen to the scene where the three of them were drinking with Lao Han, and Yi Chen happened to be walking over.

In the scene, Yichen ordered a bottle of wheat beer at the bar, opened it himself, and poured it into the glass.

“Did you bring this bottle of wine to Yi Chen?” Gu Chen turned his head and asked the bartender behind him.

“Yes, that’s the kind of wine.” The bartender turned around naturally, took out a bottle of beer from the counter behind the bar, placed it in front of Gu Chen, and asked, “Do you have any questions?”

Gu Chen frowned, held it in his hand and looked at it a few more times, then put it aside without saying anything and continued to click the play button.

Subsequently, there was a conversation between Yichen and Lao Han. The two almost had conflicts due to differences several times.

Fortunately, everyone has restrained themselves.

Until Yichen was called on stage to sing, there was no contact between him and Lao Han.

“Yichen usually likes to drink this kind of wine?” Gu Chen turned to ask the bartender.

“No, he doesn’t usually drink much. Even if he wants to drink, he will order whatever he wants. Sometimes he will order some canned juice drinks.” The bartender said truthfully.

It can be seen from the complete surveillance screen that Yichen walked over randomly and randomly ordered a bottle of wheat beer.

Even if the bartender wants to do something, he can’t be sure what Yichen wants to drink.

So the bartender can rule it out…

And looking at Lao Han, there is no chance of poisoning.

“It seems like it’s not here.” Officer Wang, who stood aside and watched the video, also confirmed.

“Then let’s go to the next section.” Gu Chen sped up the progress again.

In the picture, Yichen and Junze both came to Lao Han’s side.

Junze, who has a cheerful personality, first teased Lao Han about something off-key. At this time, Yichen took out two beer glasses from the bar and prepared to ask the bartender to make two bottles of wheat beer with excellent taste.

Then, Junze pulled Yichen over and asked Yichen to have a good talk with Lao Han to resolve the previous conflict.

“This is it.” Gu Chen suddenly said: “From here on, Yi Chen has no chance to touch wine glasses and beer.”

“Junior Brother Gu, according to you, if Lao Han has no chance to commit a crime, then the perpetrator is most likely Junze?”

“This possibility is not ruled out.” Gu Chen said.

Officer Wang hesitated for a moment and said, “It seems that Junze is also quite suspicious. Keep reading.”

In the picture, Junze took two beer glasses, walked around to the inside of the bar, then picked up a pair of tweezers, took out a few pieces of ice from the refrigerator on the bar, threw them into two glasses, and then took them The bartender handed over the wheat beer, ready to be opened.

But at this time, Lao Han stopped him and told him that he had some private wine at the bar.

Afterwards, Junze returned the unopened beer from the canteen to the bartender and expressed his expectation for Lao Han’s private wine collection.

After placing the beer glass on the table, Junze introduced himself to Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang one by one.

Everyone was aware of the situation during this period, but did not notice any unusual behavior from Junze.

From the perspective of God monitoring the scene, Junze seemed to have no chance to make a move.

Then there was Lao Han. He opened the portable refrigerator and revealed six bottles of cold beer, which made everyone look forward to it.

Then, everyone randomly selected a bottle.

Among them, Lao Han did not make any interference or contact.

Gu Chen focused on Yi Chen and the wine glass on his table.

It can be seen that Yichen pried open the beer and poured the wine by himself, and there was no problem until the final moment when he finished drinking.

“How could this happen?” Officer Wang was suddenly confused and said, “It doesn’t make sense. Isn’t this the problem?”

“No one has ever been in contact with Yichen, but how did Yichen get poisoned?” Lu Weiwei also frowned slightly, feeling that this was a bit illogical.

Now that everyone has been able to deduce that Yichen’s poisoning came from the last glass of wine, the problem is that from beginning to end, except for Junze who helped order the wine, no one had touched Yichen’s glass.

Even if Junze wanted to take action, he didn’t have the time.

The scene suddenly fell into anxiety…

The waiter and bartender both clapped their mouths and looked down at their watches.

It is already 5 minutes past 2 am.

In the past, at this time, the bartender and waiter might have arrived home, took a hot bath, and had a beautiful tryst with Zhou Gong.

But now being delayed by the police investigation and unable to leave their posts without permission, the two of them were extremely trapped.

But thinking back, I was afraid of being suspected by the police, so I could only stay where I was and wait for cooperation.

“How could this be?” Lu Weiwei looked at Officer Wang’s sad look and couldn’t help but ask: “I have watched all the videos three times, and there is no detail that is doubtful.”

“Isn’t it Old Han or Junze?” Officer Wang glanced at the bartender and waiter in confusion.

The two of them stepped back in fright…

The bartender quickly waved his hand and said: “Comrade police, it must not be me. I have been busy with the work at hand. I give the guests whatever they want, and I have to mix drinks. I am already very tired. How do I know what you are doing?” Said situation.”

After thinking about it, the bartender asked weakly: “Also, what happened to Yi Chen?”

“He drank poisoned beer and managed to save his life. He is currently lying in the intensive care unit of the hospital.” Lu Weiwei said.

The bartender said “Ah” and said in surprise: “He was poisoned? Poisoned by drinking poisonous wine?”

“Then why do you think we are here in the middle of the night? To chat with you?” Officer Wang also glared.

No matter how you look at the previous inferences and the surveillance footage, there are no flaws. But how did Yi Chen get poisoned?

At the very least, Officer Wang didn’t understand, and neither did Lu Weiwei. There seemed to be missing details somewhere.

However, just when Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei were arguing with the bartender and waiter at the bar.

Gu Chen sat alone on the dark seat.

This is where I sit tonight. Since there are no customers now, except for the lights on the bar, the rest of the place is already dark, giving people a particularly quiet feeling.

“There must be something wrong somewhere, there must be something wrong somewhere.” Gu Chen thought about this and slowly closed his eyes.

Start using your entry-level imagination to release the virtual space in your mind, and then the simulated scene begins to reappear in your mind.

In the lively Qing Bar, Yichen and Junze had just finished their performance, and the customers were chatting with each other.

Gu Chen kept accelerating the scene just now at 2.5 times the speed, then kept going back, speeding up again, and going back again…

It was not until the 25th simulation that Gu Chen suddenly discovered a problem. After drinking the glass of wine, Junze once left everyone on the excuse of going to the bathroom.

“Is this where the problem arises?” Gu Chen hesitated for a moment, then suddenly snapped his fingers.

In the lively scene just now, suddenly, except for myself, Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang, Lao Han and Yi Chen, all the surrounding customers, including the bartender, disappeared from the scene in an instant.

There were only a few people talking at the scene.

However, Gu Chen snapped his fingers again and was suddenly separated from his body in the scene.

In the picture, the separated self was still talking to a few people, but now he was sitting on a high stool at the bar, looking at the passage where Junze went to the toilet just now.

At this moment, at a corner, a dark figure was leaning against the wall, observing everyone’s every move with cold eyes, as if waiting for something.

“Could this person be Junze?”

Gu Chen used his imagination and snapped his fingers again. The black figure at the corner suddenly turned into Junze’s appearance.

In the picture, Junze’s expression was solemn. Compared with the cheerful personality he was chatting with everyone just now, he was completely different.

“What is he waiting for? Or… is he waiting for a result?” Gu Chen slowly left the bar stool and walked to Junze in the simulation scene.

Looking back at the separated self, still chatting with a few people, standing next to Junze, I suddenly began to pay attention to Yichen’s details and the changes in Junze’s expression hiding around the corner.

When Yichen took a sip of wine, Junze frowned.

Yichen took another sip of wine and Junze’s fists were clenched.

After they chatted for more than 20 minutes and Yichen finished drinking his beer, Junze walked out relieved.

He asked the bartender for a cigarette, then put his guitar on the bar on his back and said he was going home to take a shower and rest.

The time at this moment is already 9:30.

Hearing that Junze was leaving, Yichen also wanted to leave.

At this time, Gu Chen, Officer Wang, and Lu Weiwei got up and left.

“The problem should be here. The details of the poisoning should be hidden between the time Junze went to the toilet and when he came back from the toilet.”

Gu Chen used his entry-level imagination to narrow the scope to the extreme.

“If the poisoner is really Junze, then he will definitely be at the corner, observing Yichen’s movements. If I guess correctly, there will definitely be a dark shadow appearing at this corner.”

“Junior Brother Gu.”

Just when Gu Chen was about to exit the virtual space where the entry-level image power was unfolding, Lu Weiwei’s call happened to be heard in his ears.

Gu Chen quickly snapped his fingers.

In an instant, the world was spinning, and Gu Chen slowly opened his eyes.

At this moment, Lu Weiwei was staring at her inexplicably and asked, “Junior Brother Gu, are you too tired?”

“No, I was thinking about something just now.” Gu Chen said.

“Is there any new discovery?” Lu Weiwei looked back at Officer Wang and said, “Lao Wang’s investigation has reached a dead end.”

“Maybe there is another door in the dead end.” Gu Chen suddenly regained his confidence and stood up, coming to the surveillance computer.

“Is there a door to a dead end?” Lu Weiwei was stunned for a moment, then realized what she was doing, and trotted over following Gu Chen’s footsteps: “Junior brother Gu, what did you mean by that sentence just now?”

However, Gu Chen had already found the camera pointed at the toilet passage from his computer.

Camera No. 5 was set up in the center of the hall and rotated randomly. Gu Chen was so nervous that he didn’t dare to breathe.

Clicking on the time period when Yi Chen was drinking, the camera was currently focused on a group of customers, and then slowly began to rotate counterclockwise.

“Hurry up, hurry up.” Gu Chen was in a state of confusion.

This may be the only clue to prove what happened in the virtual space created by the entry-level imagination just now.

However, twenty seconds later, the camera happened to be pointed at the corridor, and there, just as Gu Chen thought, a black figure stood there quietly, as if monitoring everything…
