Chapter 1268

"Rope with blood? Blood on the neck? A mask with blood

According to Gu Chen's ideas, after a few seconds of simple meditation, Zhao Guozhi's eyes soon brightened, as if he suddenly realized the clue.

So Zhao Guozhi put aside a police officer and directly took out one of the masks from the evidence bag.

Others gathered around one after another.

Zhao Guozhi in a serious look at a few seconds later, it suddenly realized: "there are traces of rope friction on the mask?"

Turning his head and glancing at the policeman who was in charge of collecting masks, Zhao Guozhi quickly asked him, "how many masks are there in all?"

"Yes, there are 200." Said the policeman.

"That's right." Gu Chen came from one side and said faintly, "I know how the murderer can kill he Xizhou in his sleep without entering the room."

"What do you say?" Officer Wang is still thinking about the mask, but Gu Chen seems to know the result.

Gu Chen pointed to the blade left in he Xizhou's neck, pointed to the bloody rope, and actively explained:

"in fact, the principle is very simple. The murderer can tie a sharp blade in the middle of the rope in advance, that is, the one inserted in he Xizhou's neck."

"Then he can put these 200 masks on the rope one by one and stick them through the gap of the exhaust window."

"Then, that is, the most skillful way of committing a crime, which requires the murderer to have flexible movements and accurate judgment."

"That is to tighten the rope outside. At this time, the soft rope will suddenly become straight because of wearing more than 200 masks."

Seeing that the people looked at each other, and using their hands to describe Gu Chen's words, Gu Chen said: "at this time, the rope with 200 masks turned into a murder weapon in an instant."

"And the sharp knife tied to the end of the rope naturally becomes a sharp weapon to kill people."

"As long as the murderer takes aim at the right time and pokes hard, the sharp knife at the other end of the rope will stab the sleeping he Xizhou."

"At last, the murderer used a knife to cut the rope, and then pulled out the rope."

"But in this way, all the masks will be scattered on the ground, but there will be friction blood left at the position where the masks are perforated. That's why there is a lot of fresh blood in the mouth of those masks."

"That's because it's where the rope goes through, and it's inevitable."

After a pause, Gu Chen said: "so it's impossible for the murderer to smear those masks with blood after he Xizhou's death, because it's unnecessary and time is not allowed."

Voice fell, the scene suddenly a dead silence.

Zhao Guozhi nodded slightly and said: "according to what you said just now, it seems that this is really the case."

"In this way, first collect the evidence, then use other similar props, and we'll simulate it again."

"But now at least we know what these horror masks are about."

"Yes." Yuan Shasha also had a lingering fear and said, "I didn't know what these horror masks were for. I felt that all the masks were stained with blood. I thought someone was pretending to be a ghost here."

"But just now, after listening to what elder martial brother Gu said, it suddenly dawned on me that a mask and a rope, plus a sharp blade, could turn into a murder weapon in an instant."

"Yes." Seeing that the answer was finally solved, Lu Weiwei said with a smile: "this is the same reason that you wear a lot of plastic bottle caps on the rope. Once you pull the rope quickly, the soft rope can become a stick."

"In this way, there is support."

Glancing at the corpse of he Xizhou lying on the bed, Lu Weiwei sighed, disappointed and said, "it's a pity that he Xizhou didn't accept our interrogation, so he died directly."

"But now there is another murderer to kill him. I feel that he Xizhou is also very complicated."

"Maybe the enemy." Police officer Wang stood on one side, holding his chest in both hands, and also expressed his own opinion:

"he Xizhou is famous in Southeast Asia. There must be a lot of enemies. Maybe more people want him dead."

"If he Xizhou is only carrying two lives at home, it is not enough for him to sell people and smuggle contraband in Southeast Asia. It is estimated that he was shot 100 times."

"I feel that he deserves to die in a small hotel now, but the murderer is too dangerous. It seems that all these are the traps set by the murderer."

"A trap?"

Hearing the new term put forward by officer yanwang, everyone was stunned.

Gu Chen nodded silently: "I agree with my elder martial brother. It really looks like a trap."

Looking around, Gu Chen said, "let's think about it. At first, he Xizhou lived in the presidential suite in the urban area and had a good life."

"But all of a sudden, I didn't even need the deposit. I hid in the countryside and stayed in a small hotel for so many days."

"What's more, as the landlady said just now, he spent the Spring Festival in a small hotel. What's the reason for enduring such a boring life? I think it's a matter of interest. ""To meet a friend." Officer Wang shook his finger and said: "if you can persuade him to hide here, it must be that man. At least he Xizhou will listen to him."

"Is there a big man behind he Xizhou?" Lu Weiwei had a whim.

Zhao Guozhi nodded silently: "it's entirely possible that he Xizhou's false identity can be confused with the real. It must be a very important channel."

"And although this guy has been a duck to water in Southeast Asia these years, he is nothing at home, just a fugitive."

"So the reason why he was able to return to Jiangnan City shows that someone helped him behind his back, but it must be the person who arranged for him to hide here."

"But why set a trap? Is it a conflict of interest? " Asked yuan Sha.

Zhao Guozhi shook his head awkwardly: "it's not clear at present. Let's wait until we find the killer."

"I'll arrange that." Police officer Wang volunteered and explained: "if the murderer committed the crime half an hour ago, we just came here when he committed the crime."

"In other words, the murderer may not have left at all, but should still be in the town. I suggest that the road be blocked immediately to prevent the murderer from absconding."

"I have informed Xiao Zhao and Xiao Wu, who are staying outside, to block the road and temporarily prohibit vehicles from driving out."

"Because we can only walk on that county road when we get out of town, so we still have a chance now."

After hearing Zhao Guozhi's speech, officer Wang said with a smile: "it seems that Zhao bureau is well coordinated."

Zhao Guozhi waved his hand: "don't praise me first, immediately inform the other police officers on leave of the branch, let them take good equipment and rush to Hedong town for reinforcement."

"Yes." Wang officer smell speech, quickly take out the mobile phone ready to contact.

Then the general manager said, "Gu Chen, inform the left behind members of the criminal investigation team to monitor all the roads around Hedong town and pay close attention to suspicious vehicles and people."

"Yes."

Gu Chen nodded, immediately took out his mobile phone and began to convey these to he Junchao.

Zhao Guozhi plans to search for the real murderer who killed he Xizhou after making overall arrangements at the scene.

As it is late at night, not many people go out.

There are also very few vehicles going in and out.

Since Zhao Guozhi took you to Hedong town just now, almost no vehicles have driven out of Hedong town.

This directly makes it possible for us to search the murderer.

Then, everyone returned to the assault vehicle and gathered together the law enforcement recorders carried by the police officers who were responsible for the search at that time. Yuan Shasha was responsible for retrieving the monitoring images and investigating suspicious people.

In addition, Zhao Guozhi deployed other police officers to get surveillance near the shops.

For supermarket stores, private cameras are often installed near the door.

Therefore, Zhao Guozhi wants to supplement the monitoring loopholes as much as possible through these private forces.

One night, everyone suddenly felt that the situation was grim.

It seems terrible that the murderer was killed in the secret room of the hotel.

And because of the special identity of the deceased he Xizhou, Zhao Guozhi can only report the scene to Qin Gang by phone.

Gu Chen sits next to Zhao Guozhi, listening to their repeated communication.

It seems that Qin Gang attaches great importance to this and is ready to dispatch more police officers to support it.

For a time, there was an endless stream of police cars in Hedong town.

Police officers from different places began to come from all directions for reinforcement.

Hang up the phone Zhao Guozhi, is also a long Shu heavy airway: "it seems that tonight is don't want to sleep, Qin bureau is to this rush, can't find the killer, we don't want to live."

"Don't worry, Zhao Bureau. It's impossible for so many people to find the murderer, isn't it, younger martial brother Gu?" While comforting Zhao Guozhi, Lu Weiwei glances at Gu Chen.

Gu Chen nodded slightly and said: "I think the investigation is on the one hand, but the focus should be accurate investigation according to the scene."

"What do you mean?" Zhao Guozhi accompanied Gu Chen.

Gu Chen said: "for example, where do those masks come from? The investigation may cost a lot of police force, but it seems much easier to investigate the source of the mask. "

"So it is." Being reminded by Gu Chen, officer Wang suddenly thought of something.

So he quickly took out his mobile phone and opened the photo he had just taken. He couldn't help muttering: "these masks seem to be different from those sold in the park."

"Are you sure?" Zhao Guozhi asked.

Police officer Wang nodded silently: "anyway, the place to buy masks is nothing more than these parks."

"In these parks, I often take my family Xiaobei to play. The masks sold there are basically some similar styles, except those Altman, Monkey King and some popular cartoon characters."

"But don't you think it's strange that the masks we found tonight are all of a mess?""You mean Zhao Guozhi didn't quite understand these, so he continued to ask officer Wang.

Officer Wang grinned and explained, "these masks feel like they were prepared for some folk activities."

"Folk activities?" When I heard officer Wang say it, everyone echoed.

I didn't pay much attention just now, but now I think these masks with blood are quite different from those sold to children in the park.

After all, children like lovely masks, but these masks look like all kinds of ghosts and ghosts, which are not suitable for children's appearance from the sensory point of view.

Zhao Guozhi pondered for a few seconds and quickly said, "Gu Chen."

"Yes." Gu Chen said.

Zhao Guozhi shook his finger: "you quickly take your people to the town and ask if there will be some folk activities here and you need to wear this kind of mask?"

"Besides, ask the origin of these masks."

"I understand." Gu Chen nodded silently.

This is what I just thought.

Then, looking at Lu Weiwei, officer Wang and Yuan Shasha winked. They got out of the car and went to the supermarket where they had just asked where he Xizhou was.

At this moment, the shop was dark.

It seems that the old man is going to close down.

If we say that the police search just now was a bit noisy, the old man was just watching the excitement, but now the excitement is over, and I feel I have to rest.

The reason why Gu Chen chose the supermarket just now is also very simple. Other stores have been closed.

Gu Chen looked down and saw that it was not early. Just as the supermarket was closing, Gu Chen and everyone rushed over.

"Wait a minute, old man." Gu Chen holds the door.

The master frowned and said, "what's the matter, comrade police? You seem to be making a lot of noise tonight, don't you? What's going on here? "

The old man seems to be confused.

Watching police cars drive in one by one, the number of police is increasing.

Moreover, the road at the entrance of the town has been blocked by the police.

The old man is an understanding person. I feel like he is in such a posture. There must be something big happening.

Because it was night, in order to avoid suspicion, the old man was also a little afraid, so he was ready to close the door to sleep.

But now Gu Chen comes and asks about the situation by the way.

Gu Chen didn't hide it from him. He said straightforwardly, "the man you just told us died in the hotel. At present, we are pursuing the murderer."

"What? Dead? " When I heard Gu Chen say it, the old man felt a thump in his heart.

Lu Weiwei saw this, but also quickly comfort: "don't be nervous, we have a question to ask you now."

Voice down, Lu Weiwei quickly open the mobile phone photo album, the scene of those photos, in turn bright in front of the old man.

"Sir, do you know these masks?" Lu Weiwei asked.

The old man took back the presbyopic glasses on the table, put them on, squinted, and then slid his hand a few times. Then he nodded his head and said, "yes, this is the mask for our town's folk celebration. A while ago, just during the period of my youth, we held the corresponding B & B activities. Many people wore these masks to participate in the activities..."

The old man of the supermarket explained the origin and usage of these masks to the public.

Gu Chen probably understood that these masks were props bought by the town to hold folk activities.

In this way, everyone seems to be relieved.

There's something about the sensory cues.

Lu Weiwei couldn't wait to ask, "do you know who keeps these masks?"

"You know, that man's name is Xi Mu. He will buy almost all the props and materials needed in the town."

"Because his family has a big warehouse, usually a lot of things in the town, just those miscellaneous props, will be put in his place, you can ask him."

"Where does the shepherd live?" Lu Weiwei looked around, but also Dai Mei slightly frowned: "we are not familiar here, or would you please take us there?"

"OK OK, after all, if we catch the murderer earlier, we can have peace here earlier. "

The old man knows it's good for him to cooperate with the police.

After all, who is willing to let a murderer get away with it, especially in Hedong town.

If you're doing business here, maybe you can run into it.

He Xizhou, who came here to buy cigarettes before, is a murderer, which is enough to make the old man in a cold sweat.

But now the murderer he Xizhou has been killed again. I'm afraid to think about it.

So Lu Weiwei mentioned that the old man is also active.

"You wait for me." The old man closed the gate and locked it. Then he waved and said, "let's go. I'll take you there. It's not far."

"Thank you, sir."

It's very gratifying to see the old man take the initiative to cooperate.At this moment, there are few pedestrians on the street, but police officers are in groups of three or two. They are distributed at all intersections and can be used as inspectors.

We all feel the equipment in our hands and are ready to arrest at any time.

Therefore, Gu Chen can see that everyone's faces are tense, especially the new police officers.

But with the continuous reinforcement of new police officers, everyone's courage has gradually grown.

After all, the group beating of a murderer is psychologically dominant.

Therefore, in any place on the road, as long as the trace of the murderer is found, at least the ratio of the police to the murderer can be three to one.

Over there, the police are on constant patrol in Hedong town.

On the other side, the old man of the supermarket has taken us through an alley to the gate of an old building.

Pointing to the front door, the old man of the supermarket said, "this is the warehouse of Xi Mu's family. It's usually rented in the town. Xi Mu's family lives next door and can help to see the warehouse or something."

"So many materials in our town are stored here, and so are masks."

During the conversation, the old man of the supermarket has taken everyone to the door of a family.

"Dudududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududu." The old man knocked on the door and called, "Xi Mu, Xi Mu."

"Who is it?" Awakened by the barking of dogs outside, there seems to be a response in the house.

"I'm Zhao from the supermarket." Said the old man.

"What's up so late?" The male voice in the room seemed to be weak, as if he had just woken up.

The old man didn't talk nonsense either. He said directly, "open the door quickly. I have something to do with you. Hurry up."

"Then you wait." The man inside responded.

Then, we heard a series of nagging complaints in the house. Before long, the door was opened.

A middle-aged man in a coat yawned and looked forward.

Seeing the old man of the supermarket standing at the door with a group of policemen, Xi Mu was stunned and asked weakly: "you Who are you

"I'm Gu Chen, leader of the criminal investigation team of Furong Branch. We're investigating a homicide that just happened. We need your cooperation."

As Gu Chen spoke, he directly opened the photo album of his mobile phone, put the picture in front of Xi Mu and said, "are these masks from your warehouse?"
