Chapter 229 Deadline [Please subscribe for more updates]
“Senior Brother Wang, Ah Wei’s death time should be around 12 noon.” Gu Chen called Officer Wang to report the results of his and Lu Weiwei’s on-site investigation.
Community monitoring room.
Officer Wang’s eyes were fixed on every screen, and he said with a stiff face: “I haven’t found any other suspicious persons here. According to you, the murderer is either Wang Zhe or Zhao Mei?”
“Zhao Mei can be ruled out for the time being. She doesn’t have enough time to commit the crime, but Wang Zhe does.” After Gu Chen explained the relationship between the astronomical telescope found at the scene and the cigar in a simple sentence, Officer Wang stood up directly, his expression Revealing incredible.
“Is this thing reliable? It sounds a bit suspicious.”
“Senior Brother Wang, there are only two things to wait for now, one is waiting for the autopsy report from forensic doctor Liu, and the other is waiting for the sun at around 1:25 tomorrow. If both conditions are met, it means that Ah Wei is indeed in contact with Wang Zhe During the meal, he was brutally attacked, and Wang Zhe used these anti-reconnaissance techniques to confuse our vision of the case. “
Gu Chen said with full confidence.
Judging from observations at the scene, all evidence points to Wang Zhe.
The feeling of depression last night was coupled with the calmness of today.
Although the three of them were talking to Wang Zhe, he tried his best to appear innocent.
It’s a pity that his poor acting skills and various deliberate movements and expectant expressions still left him exposed.
Compared with Gu Chen and Officer Wang, there are some cases that Lu Weiwei has handled before.
The acting skills of those criminals can be said to be superior.
So after you are used to seeing the acting skills of various drama stars and your artistic level has improved to a certain level, it will be easier to identify them at a glance when you look at ordinary acting skills.
This is why many anti-pocket police officers can immediately identify the intentions of suspicious persons on the street because they are immune to all kinds of exaggerated acting skills.
No one knows why Wang Zhe wanted to kill Awei. Maybe it was a financial dispute or some other contradiction.
In fact, Gu Chen could find some clues in the Japanese food store last night.
However, it did not attract enough attention at the time and was just treated as a general controversy.
But today it seems that Wang Zhe’s motive for killing was a bit too strong.
When faced with Ah Wei’s death, he first acted too calmly, and then showed exaggerated sadness.
So Gu Chen didn’t look at who he was looking at.
Now that we can use astronomical telescopes to conduct experiments, we can have enough evidence to prove that Ah Wei… died at noon, not after Wang Zhe left.
……
……
At eight o’clock in the evening, the Technical Section of the Municipal Bureau.
Forensic doctor Liu works overtime every day, and the assistant is on vacation, so the entire technical department seems a bit quiet.
After Gu Chen, Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei stood outside the testing room for a long time, Forensic Doctor Liu took off his gloves and mask and walked to the door.
“Forensic Doctor Liu.” Gu Chen walked up to him first and asked, “Is the time of death of the deceased around 12 noon?”
Forensic Doctor Liu was stunned: “Gu Chen, how did you know? I haven’t told you yet.”
“Forensic Doctor Liu, we actually used the items at the scene to deduce the time of death of the deceased. However, this kind of experiment needs to wait until tomorrow to confirm, but we can get your answer tonight.” Lu Weiwei is also here. Mature said.
“Okay, Gu Chen.” Forensic Doctor Liu was also quite surprised and said: “You can determine the time of death of the deceased without using me as a forensic doctor. I guess Xiao Yang and Master Xi from Furong Police Station may not be able to do this. This level.”
“Gu Chen, let’s see how much forensic doctor Liu likes you. He uses Xiao Yang and Master Xi to set you up.” Officer Wang couldn’t help but interrupt.
Officer Wang naturally had to say a few words about having such a capable person under his command.
“Thank you for the compliment, Forensic Doctor Liu. In fact, I used some existing clues and conditions at the scene to make some reasonable inferences. Compared with your professional skills, it was just luck.”
Gu Chen is still quite humble…
If someone compliments you, if you take it seriously, you’re doomed.
For example, in determining the time of death, forensic doctors are required to conduct various tests on the corpse, and the procedures are unimaginably complicated.
If you want to get accurate time, you often need multi-party certification of many testing items.
This is a more reliable method.
Of course, Gu Chen’s combination of using on-site clues and items and using reasonable reasoning to determine the time of death is also a good option.
But it is consistent with the accurate judgment made by the forensic doctor after multiple tests, which still makes Forensic Doctor Liu somewhat admired.
“Gu Chen, you have to praise what you deserve. This treasure of yours, Mr. Zhao, is the blessing of your Furong Police Station. To tell you the truth, your reasoning is absolutely correct. After my many verifications, yes, the death of the deceased The time is around 12 noon, there is no doubt about it.”
Forensic doctor Liu then handed the test report to Gu Chen.
“Is it really 12 noon?” Lu Weiwei was a little ecstatic.
I thought that the data deduced from the on-site investigation with Gu Chen could only be used as a rough reference. Compared with the professional data of forensic doctor Liu, there would definitely be some errors.
When Gu Chen told the time of death of the deceased, Lu Weiwei was still guessing whether it was far different from the data given by forensic doctor Liu.
Now it seems that the concerns at that time were completely unnecessary.
Officer Wang was shocked and said: “If this data is true, then Wang Zhe, who came out of Awei’s house around 12:18, is the biggest suspect.”
A case taken over at noon will have the result in the evening.
This kind of speed in handling cases is the result that Officer Wang most hopes to see.
Previously, I was still worried about who the suspect was and the uncertain time of the crime.
Now look at it, these things before were just floating clouds, and the lit cigar was just a set of tricks Wang Zhe played on everyone.
……
……
The next day, 12 noon.
Wang Zhe walked out of his building with his luggage bag on his back. After looking around in the garden, he walked towards the exit.
“Mr. Wang.”
Wang Zhe suddenly heard someone calling his name from the side and couldn’t help but be startled. Slowly, his head turned ninety degrees in a rhythm like a machine.
Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang were leaning on a police car, waving hello to themselves.
Gu Chen, on the other hand, was sitting in the driver’s seat coldly, looking at him sideways.
“You… aren’t you the police who came to my house yesterday?” Wang Zhe quickly recognized the three of them.
At this moment, Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei had surrounded him.
“Mr. Wang, we are almost done with yesterday’s case.” Lu Weiwei looked at him mysteriously.
Wang Zhe’s head shrank back: “So fast?”
“The French Open has been restored without any omissions. How much longer do you want it to be?” Officer Wang asked him directly.
“this……”
“Stop doing this and that, let’s go, get in the car with us, let’s go to the scene again this time, and I will tell you who the murderer is.”
Officer Wang stopped being polite and directly took Wang Zhe’s shoulders and walked towards the police car.
Lu Weiwei was responsible for helping him carry his luggage, and couldn’t help but mutter: “Wang Zhe, are you going on a long trip? Bringing so many things?”
“I…I’m going out of town for a while, I have a ticket for the afternoon, so…”
“Haha.” Wang Zhe was also panicked and asked quickly: “What are you doing? My business trip is very important, really important.”
Officer Wang didn’t have the patience to do so, so he directly opened the rear door and pushed Wang Zhe in.
Later, Gu Chen drove a police car to Ah Wei’s residence.
He opened the cordon and entered the room. Looking at the room he visited yesterday and the pool of blood on the ground, Wang Zhe’s face turned pale and thin sweat broke out on his forehead.
“Comrade police, I have already told you what you want to know yesterday. Look, what did you bring me here for today? I really can’t catch the high-speed train.”
“Wang Zhe, sit down first.” Gu Chen walked up to him and pointed to the sofa behind him.
Wang Zhe was stunned for a moment, but he walked over obediently and sat on the sofa.
Gu Chen took out his notebook, sat on the other side, and asked, “Let me ask you, why did you kill your master Awei?”
“What?” After hearing this question, Wang Zhe couldn’t sit still for a moment and stood up in fear.
As a result, Officer Wang next to him pushed him back: “Sit down first and speak slowly if you have anything to say.”
“Comrade police, this…how did I kill someone? Isn’t this a joke? Haha.”
Wang Zhe weighed his options and realized that he would definitely not be able to leave today.
Judging from this posture, these three policemen were going to conduct a surprise interrogation for themselves in the living room of Awei’s house.
“Do you think we are watching a joke?” As she spoke, Lu Weiwei had already set up the camera and pointed it at Wang Zhe.
Wang Zhe was so frightened that he covered his face: “What is this? Comrade police, what are you trying to photograph me for? Is this an infringement of my right to portrait?”
“Yo? Do you still understand the law? I thought you were legally illiterate? Don’t you know the principle of knowing the law and breaking the law, and the crime will be increased to one level?” Officer Wang also learned from the classic quotation of the old man who had a conflict with him before, to educate the man in front of him with extremely poor acting skills. Photographer at the table.
“According to our preliminary investigation, the deceased Ah Wei, your master, did not die after you left, but was stabbed to death by you in the living room around 12 noon.” Gu Chen scrawled in the transcript Record, Wang Zhe became more and more confused the more he listened.
“No, what evidence do you have?” Wang Zhe raised his eyebrows and looked at the three of them with an unhappy expression.
Gu Chen took out the autopsy report given by forensic doctor Liu, threw it on the coffee table, and said, “Look for yourself. This is the summary of the report given by the professional forensic doctor. The time of death of the deceased was between 12 noon and 1 o’clock yesterday.”
“During this period of time, we have checked all the surveillance cameras and found no abnormal personnel entering the floor. After investigation, you are the most suspicious.”
“No, you must have made a mistake.” Wang Zhe pretended to be innocent and said, “It’s true that I had dinner at the master’s house at noon, but I am by no means a murderer, and I don’t know what happened at the master’s house after I left. What.”
“You left around 12:18, right?” Gu Chen raised his head and asked him.
“That’s right.” Wang Zhe knew that there was surveillance downstairs in his unit, and he couldn’t deny the fact, so he had to admit it.
“That means you have time to kill.” Gu Chen pointed at him with a pen and said, “And the time you left was highly coincident with the time A Wei died.”
“But the coincidence does not mean it is me. You have said it yourself. Forensic medicine is not absolutely accurate. For example, as written in this autopsy report, the approximate time of death of the deceased was between 12 noon and 1 o’clock. This ‘approximately’ The time range included cannot be used as absolute evidence.” Wang Zhe also used his own rhetoric.
“Wang Zhe, how about we make a bet?” Gu Chen’s eyes suddenly became surprisingly sharp and he said, “How about we make a bet on whether you are a murderer. The deadline is 2:25 noon?”
Gu Chen actually knew that the approximate scope of the autopsy report given by forensic doctor Liu was indeed not enough to support the fact that Wang Zhe was the murderer, but he had another trick.
When Wang Zhe heard what Gu Chen said, he began to weigh things up.
You must know that the range of the time when he committed the crime yesterday was basically within the current interrogation time.
Looking at the confident looks of the three policemen in front of him, to be honest, Wang Zhe was a little timid.
Especially when he is listed as the subject of interrogation, he feels that the other party seems to have sufficient clues.
“Wang Zhe.” Lu Weiwei took a blank transcript, threw it into his hand, and gave him a pen, saying: “At this time, if you honestly explain the facts of your crime, maybe you can still You should think carefully about the lighter punishment.”
“I won’t write.” Wang Zhe suddenly threw aside the pen and paper that Lu Weiwei handed him, stood up and said, “I’m going on a business trip soon. If you have anything to do, you can wait until I get back from my business trip.”
However, the moment Wang Zhe stood up, he discovered that Gu Chen had opened the exquisite wooden box where Awei usually stored his cigars, took out a cigar from it, and placed it on an ashtray.
The astronomical telescope on the ground was accurately placed on the window sill by Gu Chen according to the small notches on the table and the window.
Seeing this familiar scene, Wang Zhe’s legs suddenly lost control.
“Does it sound familiar?” Gu Chen turned around, came to Wang Zhe, and said, “We previously found a lit cigar still burning in the deceased Ah Wei’s living room, which once misled our police. Handle the case.”
“But…but what does that have to do with me?” Wang Zhe took one step back, then two steps, and was finally forced back to the sofa by Gu Chen again, looking up at Gu Chen’s sharp eyes.
“To tell you the truth.” Gu Chen opened the small wooden box containing the cigar and said, “The normal burning time of this cigar is 1 hour and 25 minutes. But yesterday when we received an alarm and arrived at the scene, the cigar had been burning for nearly an hour. , from this point of view, in order to mislead our police to handle the case, you have used your best imagination in using blindness. “
“What does this have to do with me?” Wang Zhe felt that he could still give it a last try, although he felt a little out of his depth.
“You use the principle of a convex lens in an astronomical telescope, place it in a suitable position, then put the cigar on the ashtray and wait for the angle of the sun to change.”
Gu Chen walked to the window sill, pointed at the astronomical telescope and said, “The time I set up now is 12:18, which is the time you left yesterday.”
“If there are no calculation errors, when the time advances to about 1:25, the two convex lenses on the astronomical telescope play a role in condensing light.”
“The focus will be on the position of the cigar, thereby using the spotlight effect to light the cigar, creating the illusion that the deceased Ah Wei was still smoking at around 1:25, thereby excluding yourself from the time of committing the crime. I Is that right? Wang Zhe.”
After Wang Zhe listened to Gu Chen’s words, his face turned pale and he looked at the window sill in confusion.
That’s right, Gu Chen doesn’t have much time left for himself.
He already knows his little tricks…
The time set aside for myself now is actually to allow myself to explain clearly why I committed the crime.
“The time now is 12:23, and there are still two hours left for you. You should think about it yourself.”
Officer Wang looked down at his watch and reminded.
“Wang Zhe, you don’t have to act innocent anymore. Really, your acting skills are really not up to par.” Lu Weiwei also came to make up for the damage with great interest, saying: “We have seen many criminals, although they are not as good as you.” You are smart, but at least your acting skills are passable, and you occasionally create some little trouble for us, but you are different. You are a photographer. Since you are a director apprentice under Awei, why not hone your acting skills… …”
Lu Weiwei talked a lot, and once she started talking, she couldn’t stop at all.
Everything she said was true.
During the time when I worked with Gu Chen and Police Officer Wang, I participated in many cases. People with excellent acting skills will indeed confuse their own judgment to a certain extent.
Fortunately, Gu Chen usually has enough evidence to support his dealings with this group of people.
But the vicious murderer in front of him didn’t know how to hone his acting skills. Even Lu Weiwei wanted to sing “Liangliang” to him.
“Yes, I killed my master Ah Wei.” Seeing that the incident was exposed and the police had fully grasped the evidence of his crime, Wang Zhe felt that there was no need to hold on any longer.
Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang looked at each other, and they couldn’t help but be overjoyed.
What I want is this effect…
Only by completely restoring the criminals’ criminal actions and leaving them with no way to hide can we make these guys confess honestly.
No matter how strong the psychological defense is, it is still vulnerable in the face of evidence.
“Tell me, why?” Gu Chen lowered his head and did not look at him, but concentrated on taking notes.
These so-called hard jobs have allowed Gu Chen to learn a lot of reasoning and summaries from the notebook.
Therefore, during interrogations, Gu Chen is often very willing to take notes.
“I owe the master a large amount of money, and I can no longer repay it.” Wang Zhe looked at Gu Chen with some frustration and said, “Do you know? Comrade policeman, not only do I owe him a large amount of money, but I also owe him a large amount of money.” I gave the first draft of the best work that my master had worked with me to pledge to the other party. I don’t know how I ended up like this? I’m completely ruined, but it has nothing to do with him.”
