Chapter 651

"So it is? That's how the marks come about? " Anna was overjoyed. She felt that Gu Chen's understanding of the trace was far better than that of herself and her colleagues.

With only a few traces on the wall, Gu Chen can perfectly restore the scene of the scene, which in Anna's opinion, is simply a little inconceivable.

"When the killer picked up the brick and smashed it at the beggar, the brick leaned back against the wall due to the narrow space, forming this trace."

"After that, when the beggars were repeatedly hit, such traces appeared many times until the beggars were killed."

"Officer Gu." Listening to Gu Chen's words, Uncle Sam hesitated and asked, "how can you conclude that the beggar was killed by someone?"

"Because of the body." Gu Chen gave the answer directly and said: "before I checked the charred body, it was obvious that there were several grooves in the skull of the corpse."

"So, it was the wound that the killer hit?" Asked Lu Weiwei.

Gu Chen nodded silently and said, "before I could only make a general judgment, until now I came here and found traces on the narrow wall."

"So now it's almost certain that the charred body is not Paul, but a beggar monkey."

"True or false?" Uncle Sam can't seem to believe it. The whole person is stuck there: "officer Gu, this monkey's duty man, he has never provoked anyone, I swear."

"It's no use swearing." Gu Chen opened the shoe print on the photo and said in front of the crowd: "now the most important thing is to find the person who wears the shoes."

"Only by finding him can we know who the killer is and why he burned the monkey."

After looking back on the shoe soles, I should have asked Anna to pick up a pair of shoes

"What are you waiting for?" Gu Chen is already impatient, remind way: "it should not be late, now should act immediately."

"Yes, I'll take you." Anna readily agreed.

After all, to find this clue has been very helpful to the detection of the case.

Gu Chen simulated the scene, and from Gu Chen's analysis, the man wearing leather shoes is obviously the key murderer of this case.

The heavy rain gradually dispersed, everyone returned to the police car and drove directly to the famous shoemaker street in Luocheng.

Italian handmade leather shoes are famous at home and abroad, and are also one of the origins of modern leather shoes technology.

Wenshi in Zhejiang Province of China used to learn from Italy, learn advanced shoe-making technology and level from Italy, and combine with local conditions, so it also opened the glory of Wenshi shoes capital.

However, due to the high labor costs, customized leather shoes care about the country, and the price is not cheap.

Anna takes Gu Chen's Chinese team to an old street in Italy.

This is the birthplace of early Italian leather shoes handmade, and many famous leather shoes brands were born here.

However, compared with other well-known brands, there are still some old shoemakers who are content with the status quo to open a custom leather shoe shop as their daily work.

According to different brand positioning, well-known shoemaker artists, a pair of leather shoes in the studio can take off at least 1000 Europe. Even according to the different materials, tens of thousands of European leather shoes can be found everywhere.

In recent years, many apprentices from East Asia and Southeast Asia set up their own doors and began to operate hand-made business in the old streets.

But most of them take the low price route

Therefore, in this old street, shop owners of hand-made shoes at various prices can find their own suitable customers.

"Here it is." Anna turned her head and looked at Gu Chen and said, "most of the craftsmen who know the most about shoes in Luocheng basically set up shop here. If you want to know where the shoes in your photos come from, you'd better ask a senior craftsman."

"And who is the senior shoemaker?" Asked Gu Chen.

Anna hesitated for a moment when an old man with a shoe box passed by. Anna stopped him and asked, "who is the most senior shoemaker in this street?"

"A family of craftsmen." The old man turned and pointed to a shoe store not far away and said, "in this street, his shoe craft is the best, and the boss has a lot of research on shoes. He is a shoe expert."

"If you can afford it, you can find the boss to make a pair of high-quality leather shoes for you, which is the best in this street."

"OK, thank you." Anna nodded in silence and sent the old man away, which turned her eyes to the "craftsman family" not far away, an old shoe shop decorated with medieval style.

"Let's go and have a look." Gu Chen said with a smile.

A group of people entered the shoe store one after another.

From the beginning of entering the door, we are attracted by all kinds of exquisite leather shoes in the display cabinet of the living room.

Not only that, in some leather shoes style background wall, still hang with exquisite wood watch frame photograph.

According to the text, many of them are custom-made leather shoes of local celebrities, and there are photos with the boss.Of course, in addition to the commercial plutocrats, there are also some entertainment stars, sports stars, are frequent visitors here.

The boss is favored by himself and has photos taken with almost all celebrities. This virtually means that he publicizes the "craftsman family".

"No wonder the business of this hand-made shoe shop is so good. They can eat and drink for a year with a single business. They are all high-end customized shoes." Yuan Shasha pointed to several business celebrities who had taken photos with her boss and turned to Gu Chen and said, "I know these people. They are regular visitors of the European Forbes wealth list."

"It seems that the boss is good at business." Gu Chen went to the front desk, but he didn't see a receptionist. He asked curiously, "is this store all booking? There's not even a host. "

"Hee hee, elder martial brother Gu, you guessed right." Standing on the side, Yuan Shasha said with a smile: "this store is really open to appointment. It's normal that there are no clerks in the shop. The group photo in the exhibition hall is actually an image display given by the boss to customers."

"What kind of price, what kind of service, the boss has several of Italy's top handmade shoemakers, all outstanding."

"Eh?" Listening to Yuan Shasha's words, Lu Weiwei did not know why: "I said Xiao Yuan, how do you know this shoe shop so well? Have you ever been here? "

"This..." Yuan Shasha felt that she had said something wrong, so she shook her head like a wave drum and retorted, "how could I have been here? This is one of the most expensive shoe shops in Italy. I I just, I heard from my friends that they came here. "

"I envy you, Xiao Yuan. Your friends are very good." Although Gu Chen knew that Yuan Shasha was lying, he did not deliberately expose it.

Yuan Shasha nodded silently and said with a smile: "yes, my friends like to travel and have a wide range of knowledge. They have heard that there are different shoemakers on duty in this shop every day to accept booking business."

"If we want to find a shoemaker, go straight to the second floor."

"True or false?" Anna, as an Italian, has never heard of such a saying.

However, seeing yuan Shasha's serious face, it didn't seem like telling a joke, so he readily accepted: "that's OK, let's go to the second floor."

The exhibition hall is similar to that of the old castle.

To say that the "craftsman family" in this hometown, the store is a big Mac, at least compared with other mini stores, it seems a bit bullying.

The area of a toilet on the second floor is equal to that of a mini shop in the old street.

What if it wasn't for you? To be able to accept orders from many celebrities also needs to do some face engineering.

"Is anyone there?" After looking around for a week, Gu Chen found that the space was empty.

Seeing no response, Gu Chen said again, "excuse me Is anyone here? "

"Are you here to order shoes?" Just as Gu Chen's voice had just dropped, an old man with a brown cobbler's apron came out of a porch.

He helped his glasses and found that the visitors were a group of policemen. He was stunned and asked, "excuse me, are the police officers here to customize shoes?"

"But first of all, my shoes are expensive. If the police officers are not well off, I can recommend some cheap shoe shops next door to you."

"Oh, you are very interesting." Gu Chen also stepped forward and said with a light smile, "there is no reason to recommend business to outsiders. It can be seen that there is no lack of business in your shoe store."

"Young man, are you a policeman?" Looking at Gu Chen's clothes up and down, some confused old shoemakers can't help but squint and feel puzzled.

He quickly looked at Anna and George around him, and then at Lu Weiwei, officer Wang and Yuan Shasha.

Although everyone is wearing police uniform, there are obvious differences.

Old shoemakers don't play with social networks, so they miss the so-called hot news perfectly.

He didn't know which police officer Gu Chen was, but he could speak fluent Italian, which surprised the old shoemaker.

"Old man, this is the Chinese police team, who came to our country for exchange and study. We are now dealing with a case, and we need your help."

Anna was as polite as ever and went forward to communicate with the old man.

The old shoemaker was stupefied. He suddenly realized: "it's the Chinese police. I'm glad to meet you."

"Me too."

Gu Chen accepts the old shoemaker's handshake.

The old shoemaker said with a smile: "so you came to the store today, not to customize shoes, but to investigate the case?"

"Yes." Gu Chen said: "I have a question about leather shoes here. I want to consult you. I don't know if you understand it."

"Hehe, young man, you are joking." Also under Gu Chen's encouragement, the old shoemaker suddenly frowned and said faintly, "you don't want to know. In this old street, if we say the second, no one dares to say the first.""True or false?" Lu Weiwei was suspicious and urged Gu Chen to say, "brother Gu, you can show him the pictures and see if the old master is as good as he said."

Also holding a try mentality, Gu Chen simply points out the mobile phone album, and takes the shoe print with the Eagle Totem to the old shoemaker for reference.

"Mr. Fu, this is a footprint we found at the scene. It's very important to find this person. However, we don't know much about these shoes. We want to consult you."

"Let me see." The old shoemaker helped his glasses and squinted carefully.

He just laughed for three seconds.

This puzzled everyone in the room.

Lu Weiwei stepped forward and asked, "master, what are you laughing at?"

"I laugh at your luck." The old shoemaker grinned indifferently and took Gu Chen's mobile phone to indicate: "this sole with Eagle Totem is the latest grinding tool developed in our store at present."

"The style of this rubber sole is changing every year. I'll find it for you and you will know."

Said here, the old shoemaker went back to the porch, not long after, he will take a copper mold in his hand, to everyone in front of.

The old shoemaker said with a smile, "look, isn't this one?"

Gu Chen put the mobile phone flat on the wooden table, and then put the eagle copper mold on one side. The details are fully displayed under the comparison between the two sides.

as like as two peas, Chen's use of expertise and observation has been repeated in comparison with the copper mold.

"How about it?" The old shoemaker is quite proud of the way.

"It's the same." Gu Chen said.

"Let me see." Anna on the side of some can't believe it, so again came to do verification.

Lu Weiwei said curiously: "master Fu, you can also make a copper mold. How can you be sure that these are your shoes?"

"It's simple." The old shoemaker pointed to a logo of the bronze model Eagle Totem and said, "this is the trademark of our shop. Anyone who dares to steal my trademark in this street is going to go bankrupt."

"But..." Gu Chen hesitated for a while, quite puzzled way: "you this bronze medal is not sole abrasives, but high frequency hot pressing abrasives."

"Even if the rubber sole is pressed with high frequency, it is impossible to have such deep lines. How do you do it?"

Listen to Gu Chen's words, the old shoemaker is also quite a Leng, the whole face full of amazement.

"Young man, do you know so much about shoe making? Even high frequency ironing process all know? "

Gu Chen indifferent smile: "know a little bit."

"Already good." Seeing that Gu Chen knew more or less some shoe-making techniques, and some proud old shoemakers, he suddenly became polite.

He went to a wooden frame, picked out a semi-finished bottom from the top, threw it in front of Gu Chen and said, "we press high-frequency, mainly to locate the bottom."

"And the pattern you mentioned is actually carved by hand according to the positioning of the copper mold after high-frequency hot pressing."

"Why what? Your rubber soles are carved by hand Gu Chen was also quite shocked when he heard this exaggeration.

I've only heard of the famous Italian handcraft, but I didn't expect to exaggerate to this extent.

In Gu Chen's opinion, it's hard to understand.

It can be seen that the shoes in this shoe store are Rolls Royce in leather shoes, so there is a reason why they are expensive.

Anna was shocked and said, "according to your opinion, there are not many people who come to the store to order this kind of shoes, right? You should have customer information, right? "

"Of course, but..." The old shoemaker just opened his mouth, but suddenly stopped.

"What? Inconvenient? " Asked Gu Chen.

"Ha ha, that's right." The old shoemaker was helpless and said with a dry smile: "the information of these customers is absolutely confidential. I have no right to disclose it to others. This is the regulation."

"But we are working on the case. I hope you can cooperate." Anna encountered this reason, the whole person also did not have a good airway.

But the old shoemaker still does not want to reveal too much, even if he is in front of a group of Italian police and Chinese police mixed formation, but what?

The old shoemaker of the craftsman's family will never admit defeat

Seeing that the old man was stubborn, Gu Chen simply explained the reason and said, "master, this man is likely to be the murderer of a homicide. It's unreasonable for you to do so."

"You have the code of conduct, but the national law does not allow it. After all, you do not want to cover up the murderer because of your so-called code of conduct?"

"If you don't account for it, the murderer is likely to commit another crime. How many innocent people will die at that time? Have you ever thought about that?"

On being reasonable, the Chinese police will never admit defeat.After Gu Chen said so, the old shoemaker began to waver.

In order not to embarrass the old shoemaker, Gu Chen said directly, "let me ask you, how many people are there to customize these shoes? You can always tell me that? "

"Just one." The old shoemaker finally let go.

Gu Chen looked back at the crowd. They were overjoyed and felt that the truth was gradually approaching.

Excited, Gu Chen looked back at the old shoemaker again and asked, "is this custom-made shoe customer Simon?"

When he heard Gu Chen say the name of "Simon", the old shoemaker's eyes changed.

The whole person was stupefied, as if to feel a burst of thought and fear.

Looking at the abnormal reaction of the old shoemaker, Gu Chen was already very clear about the answer he wanted, so he said with a smile: "look at your expression, it seems that I am right."

"No That's right. " Under Gu Chen's repeated questioning, the old shoemaker said definitely: "the customer who came to our" craftsman family "to customize leather shoes is indeed Simon. He is a tall and thin man."

"And he runs several charitable foundations." As he answered, Gu Chen found out the business card Simon had sent to himself. He said in front of the old shoemaker, "check the phone number and charity fund carefully to see if they are consistent with the information Simon left in the store."

"If it's him, you don't have to talk. Just nod and blink."

The old shoemaker could no longer calm down.

He helped his glasses again. This time, he studied Gu Chen like a lottery ticket and handed in his business card.

After some final confirmation, the old shoemaker finally nodded and admitted: "needless to say, the person you are looking for That's him
