Police Chen Shu

Regarding this murder case, after Ma Rongcheng's guidance, it seemed that it was just an ordinary suicide case, but there was a hidden second person behind it.

And this person also has the behavior of disguising shoe prints.

I have to say that the suspicion is very strong.

Now the purpose of the investigation is very clear, which is to dig out this person's identity information.

Under Chen Shu's division of labor, Zhu Yiba and Huang Mao stayed in the Criminal Investigation Brigade to check the video recordings copied from the hotel.

Since there are so many cameras in the hotel, even if the surveillance is only for a few days before and after the incident, the data is still extremely large, which is a task that tests endurance and carefulness.

Chen Shu, Chen Chuan and Jiang Hai followed trace expert Ma Rongcheng back to the hotel where the crime occurred and conducted a second investigation, hoping to find some different evidence.

The four of them came to the hotel, and while waiting for Ma Rongcheng to re-examine, Jiang Hai, who had been mentally exhausted in the forensic room, became listless, wandering around with his neck curled up, guessing that he would not be a technical person after graduating from the police academy. material.

Boss Chen Chuan sat unceremoniously on a recliner at the scene and watched the cartoon. At first, he was not conscious of his loud voice, but he restrained himself after being glared at by Chen Shu.

Chen Shu first followed Ma Rongcheng in the room, preparing to secretly learn some on-site inspection techniques. During this period, he realized that he had passed the age of being open-minded and studious, so he went to wander elsewhere.

Standing outside the room was a staff member they brought from the hotel front desk as a witness to this re-inspection.

Generally speaking, for work such as out-of-town evidence collection or identification, the witnesses will be the police assistants, including subsequent signatures on documents, etc., who are responsible for everything.

However, since Chen Shu and others were police officers who came from other provinces for vacation, and Ma Rongcheng was an expert sent by the provincial department, neither party had a police assistant, so when they arrived at the hotel, they asked the staff on the first floor to help temporarily serve as witnesses.

If the regulations are strictly followed, then ordinary people in this category are the real witnesses.

However, in actual operation, due to the uncertainty of the witness's behavior, such as going home to eat, going to work, or suddenly receiving a call and leaving in a hurry, the police work will be stalled or even restarted.

The situations mentioned above are quite good. Some witnesses are very active. After being invited by the police to be witnesses, whether they have a sense of gossip or a sense of responsibility, they become excited anyway and often move around the scene, inadvertently. Destroying evidence at the scene.

Therefore, the police handling the case are still more accustomed to letting the assisting police officers serve as witnesses.

Several places in the room were crowded with people. Chen Shu walked to the slightly empty window, opened it to get some air, and then poked his head out to look around the outside environment.

This is a room located on the third floor of the hotel. Although the number of floors is not high, since the first floor is used as a reception hall and the second floor is a banquet hall, the heights of a single floor on the first and second floors are equivalent. high.

A hotel room on the third floor is roughly comparable to a private residential building on the fifth or sixth floor.

"At this height, it is generally impossible to climb in from the outside." Chen Shu looked at the bare wall. There were no water pipes for people to climb like ordinary high-rise buildings. It was definitely impossible to climb with bare hands.

The windows of the rooms on the left and right are quite far apart from each other, and it is impossible to climb across the smooth wall.

Chen Shu looked down and saw a remote grassland with nothing but a trail that ran from east to west. Beyond it was the hotel's not-so-high fence, and outside was a dilapidated alley.

Although it was close to noon at this time, there was no one downstairs, including the alley outside. Under the direct sunlight, except for the peeling paint on the wall and the cracks covered with weeds, no living thing could be seen.

There were a few windows on the other side of the alley, but the curtains were tightly drawn, with no gaps showing through. It was obvious that the people living in the houses did not want to have anything to do with this dilapidated alley.

Chen Shu shook his head mockingly. When he was the first group of people to enter the scene, the window was locked. It was impossible for anyone to come in from the outside, not to mention the condition of the outer wall. Even if a gorilla was sent here, You may not even be able to climb up.

"Officer Chen, please help pull the curtains." Ma Rongcheng, who began to inspect the shoe prints, said without raising his head.

"good."

Chen Shu, who didn't notice anything unusual, closed the curtains and the room immediately became dark.

Chen Shu analyzed the situation he had observed earlier: "Expert Ma, we can be said to be the first people to enter the scene at that time. The windows were closed and locked at that time, and the surveillance showed that since before the deceased moved in, Until the incident, no one else entered the room.

"Then the deceased was the only one in the room from beginning to end, and the probability of suicide is extremely high. But this is contradictory to our previous conclusion that there was a second person deliberately disguising shoe prints in the room, and the depth of the strangulation marks on the deceased's neck was consistent. It doesn’t look like it was caused by hanging.”

Chen Shu felt for a moment that he was being a bit verbose, which seemed to make him feel unconfident in front of the experts. When he was taking a breath, he saw that the other party was not paying attention at all, so he swallowed the rest of his words.

"The first batch? I remember that it was recorded in the record that the cleaning staff should be the first to discover the body." Ma Rongcheng lowered his head, and his hands were not slow, while playing with various photography that looked very professional at first sight. posture, while clicking the shutter repeatedly.

It only took a few seconds, Chen Shu thought silently.

Time passed slowly, and Ma Rongcheng finally successfully photographed and extracted the shoe prints one by one. He stood up, tapping his back and lamenting his age.

At this time, as the room became dark, Ma Rongcheng easily discovered that Chen Chuan, whose face was illuminated by the light of the mobile phone screen, was sitting on the edge and looking at the mobile phone seriously. What was obvious on the screen was a cartoon about his childhood.

"Watching the video live? It would be bad if the crowd saw it. If you want to take a rest, go to the car." After all, he was not a provincial colleague. Although Ma Rongcheng was unhappy, he still expressed it tactfully.

Chen Chuan said without raising his head: "What break? I am working. Isn't this the secret room murder? I am watching several cases about the secret room murder in "Detective Conan" to see if I have any inspiration."

Ma Rongcheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. When he was about to continue his education, he found that Chen Shu was standing behind Chen Chuan with a serious look on his face, holding his chin and nodding frequently as if he had woken up.

The police from the coast are so unreliable. Ma Rongcheng thought so and immediately continued to mess with the work in hand.

However, when taking photos of shoe prints, he still appreciated the workmanship of the criminal policeman from other provinces and the degree of preservation of the scene.

Unlike those rough guys at the police station, once they take over, this "one scene" is like ten scenes. Even if the emperor comes over, he will not be able to stop the investigation.

Unlike now, he was very sure of the existence of the second person, and the traces of camouflaged shoe prints were very star-studded.

But even if there is a second person, it may not be the murderer. There are many coincidences in this world.

In the small room, Ma Rongcheng felt a little suffocated for a moment. He stood up and took a long breath, but the series of anti-fraud cases investigated by the provincial task force this year still appeared in his mind at an inappropriate time.

He shook his head, hoping that he could focus on the current case instead of continuing to dream about the case that was getting further and further away from him and was about to be solved.

No matter what, the credit certainly does not belong to a beast like him.

However, it would be great if I could get lucky and be able to stay in the provincial department.

Ma Rongcheng shook his head vigorously and focused his attention again.
