Chapter 1375

In the apartment room.

I don't think Zhu Rui looks like a liar, but considering Zhu Rui's career as an actor, officer Wang still has reservations.

But Zhu Rui didn't hear everyone knocking at the door. Officer Wang felt that Zhu Rui did have a problem in hearing.

With this in mind, officer Wang asked Zhu Rui if he had any special diseases.

Zhu Rui frowned and said thoughtfully, "I don't seem to have alleviated a special disease, but it's true that I can't hear the knock."

Looking at the crowd, Zhu Rui also asked weakly, "how long have you been knocking outside?"

"It's been a while. Anyway, all of us are knocking at the door. If we hadn't considered other factors, we would have hit the door directly."

Yuan Shasha also explained.

We did have the idea of knocking at the door before, but considering that the door of the apartment is generally strong.

In addition, from finding Mengyao lying on the balcony to Gu Chen rushing out of the door, there was no sign of opening the door next door, so everyone believed it.

Even if the killer was in the house, he couldn't escape the room.

Then we went to the property management office to find spare keys and door breaking tools.

First, it is not clear whether the murderer has a murder weapon, so the door breaking tool can also become a counter attack tool.

Second, if you can open the door with a key, you don't have to break in.

Breaking through the door is always the last option.

Hearing yuan Shasha's explanation, Zhu Rui seemed more and more restless. He also retorted, "I really didn't hear anything outside the door, but just now you opened the door with the key, but I heard it clearly."

"You are lying." seeing that Zhu Rui is still quibbling, Ma Tiankai also said angrily: "these are not the reasons why you killed Mengyao. You are an executioner and murderer."

"I'm not." Zhu Rui was scolded by Ma Tiankai pointing to his nose, which was really urgent.

But Ma Tiankai said reluctantly, "since you said you didn't lie, why did Mengyao die on your balcony? Could her body move by itself?"

"This..."

Asked by Ma Tiankai, Zhu Rui was suddenly poor.

It seems that this is always a topic you can't avoid.

But at this moment, Gu Chen, who has been standing on the balcony to observe, couldn't help saying: "of course, the body won't move by itself, but... The murderer can."

"Huh?"

Hearing Gu Chen's speech, everyone present turned their eyes to Gu Chen.

Yuan Shasha also asked curiously, "elder martial brother Gu, why do you understand so? Has the body really been moved?"

"This... I'm just guessing." Gu Chen didn't say anything, but pointed to Mengyao's body and explained, "anyway, when I saw Mengyao fall on the balcony, her thigh should be located at the boundary between the balcony and the living room."

"But now, when we rush into the room and come to the balcony, Mengyao's body is located at the boundary between the balcony and the living room, and the body is obviously distorted."

"Twist?" Lu Weiwei looked at Mengyao's body and also walked up to Gu Chen and asked, "younger martial brother Gu, what do you mean by twist?"

"Where she fell." Gu Chen walked to Mengyao again and turned to ask Lu Weiwei, "elder martial sister Lu, do you remember what she was lying down when you rushed into the room and ran to Mengyao?"

"This..." Lu Weiwei was reminded by Gu Chen and suddenly remembered.

A moment later, she said, "I remember that Mengyao's body lay obliquely at a 45 degree angle, which seemed a little different from what we found on the balcony."

Glancing back at officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, Lu Weiwei asked, "Lao Wang, Xiao Yuan, when you saw Mengyao fall in room 801, was it the state of vertical balcony guardrail?"

"That's right." Yuan Shasha took the lead in reminding: "we all saw that Mengyao fell down with a vertical guardrail, and there was no 45 degree angle at all."

"What's wrong?" officer Wang thought for a moment, turned his head and asked Zhu Rui, "is it your boy who moved the body?"

"Wronged." Zhu Rui was almost angry and cried. He also complained again and again: "I'm more wronged than Dou E this night. I don't even know that Mengyao is in my room."

"What's the matter with the body moving?" officer Wang hesitated for a moment, looked at Gu Chen again and asked, "Gu Chen, did you find anything else?"

"And... Mengyao's body also has a big problem."

Gu Chen took out his mobile phone, turned on the light of his mobile phone, simply shone on Mengyao's neck and said, "Mengyao was strangled. This is certain, but I also found scars in other places of Mengyao."

"Other places?" before, Lu Weiwei had been sad about Mengyao's death, but she had not carefully examined Mengyao's body.

But Gu Chen found a clue, so Lu Weiwei quickly asked Gu Chen, "brother Gu, where are the other scars you said?"

"Look carefully at Mengyao's armpit," Gu Chen reminded.

Lu Weiwei was stunned, turned on her mobile phone's own flashlight and checked Mengyao's armpit.

Because Mengyao is wearing a sleeveless dress, the scars on her armpits can also be seen very clearly.

Lu Weiwei was also stunned and said, "how can there be le marks in this armpit? It seems that there are still friction Le marks. What's going on?"

"Friction marks?" officer Wang smelled the speech and looked at Yuan Sasha around him. They soon came to the front and examined Mengyao's body.

Officer Wang took out his mobile phone and photographed the scene. He couldn't help but say, "no, the wound under his arm and the blood from friction seem to be caused by the rope, but... Why use the rope?"

Thinking of this, officer Wang once again turned his eyes to Zhu Rui.

Zhu Rui shrank back in fear. For a moment, he didn't know how to explain.

Feeling greatly wronged, Zhu Rui said after trying to calm down: "anyway, I don't have a rope here. If you don't believe it, you can search it yourself."

"Of course you don't have a rope here. Even if you do, you may be hidden." Gu Chen walked to the center of the living room, looked around and joked:

"Imagine why Mengyao appeared in Zhu Rui's room? It's reasonable to say that Mengyao's temper should not be."

"Also, why are there Le marks under Mengyao's arm?"

"Could it be that Mengyao was strangled by the murderer after she was bound?" Yuan Shasha gave her own opinion.

But Gu Chen quickly shook his head and denied: "of course not, because in addition, Mengyao has no trace of being bound by the rope, but there are friction marks under his arm."

"If this question can be explained, we can know who the murderer is."

When Gu Chen said these words, he seemed to have some answers in his heart.

The others in the room looked at each other. They didn't seem to know what Gu Chen's tips meant.

Lu Weiwei frowned slightly and squatted down next to Mengyao's body again to check the scars under Mengyao's armpits. Her mouth also read:

"If there are scars here, or the strangulation marks caused by the rope, has Mengyao ever been lifted?"

"That's right." seeing Lu Weiwei's self thinking in a whisper, Gu Chen heard it very clearly and said definitely: "the killer used a rope to pass through Mengyao's arm and hang her up."

"But..." Lu Weiwei shook her head and looked around the balcony repeatedly. She couldn't help saying, "but there seems to be nothing that can pass through the hanging rope on the balcony. Why did the murderer do this?"

"Yes, Gu Chen, why did the murderer hang Mengyao? Wouldn't it be unnecessary?" officer Wang also wondered.

After all, Mengyao's armpit scar is true, but the murderer's purpose is not clear so far.

Gu Chen smiled faintly and came to the balcony again.

In front of the balcony is the South Lake.

As the apartment is built along the lake, the difference between the downstairs walkway and the lake water is only a few meters, which is stopped by steps.

When Gu Chen looked over the balcony again, he suddenly bowed his head and asked officer Wang, "senior brother Wang, if I remember correctly, Mengyao seems to rent two suites on the 9th floor, which is above her room, right?"

"That's right." officer Wang nodded silently and echoed, "Mengyao rented three apartments here for herself, Zhao Xi and Liu Xuan."

"Because Zhu Rui harassed Mengyao yesterday, Mengyao sublet room 801 to Ma Tiankai, while she lives upstairs. It is estimated that Zhao Xi and Liu Xuan will live together, and Mengyao lives alone."

When the voice fell, officer Wang suddenly frowned. It seemed that Gu Chen had something to say, so he asked Gu Chen, "so Gu Chen, do you have any new discoveries?"

"I suspect that Mengyao was put down from upstairs," Gu Chen said.

"Upstairs?" hearing Gu Chen's speech, everyone present was stunned. It felt a little Arabian.

Gu Chen said faintly: "from the wound under Mengyao's armpit, it can be seen that she was bound by objects such as ropes, and the wound was also rubbed."

"But there are only two possibilities to lift Mengyao with a rope. One is to pull up and the other is to put down."

"But from the current situation, Mengyao is unlikely to be pulled up, because I didn't find any signs of friction at the corner of the guardrail on the balcony, so there is only another possibility."

"Did the murderer put it on the balcony from upstairs?" after thinking about it, officer Wang immediately overturned his point of view:

"It's impossible. We were in the next room and saw Mengyao fall from the balcony, but how could she put it down from the 9th floor?"

Gu Chen smiled faintly and said, "when Mengyao fell down, it was a vertical balcony guardrail, but the Mengyao we see now is 45 degrees."

"And when we saw Mengyao fall down, Mengyao's thigh was just at the boundary between the balcony and the living room, but why did we see Mengyao now, but his calf was at the boundary between the living room and the balcony?"

"If the murderer had moved his hands and feet, why didn't he see Mengyao's body hidden? But he just moved her position a little?"

Gu Chen's continuous questions immediately confused officer Wang.

As an old comrade, officer Wang soon realized that Gu Chen seemed to be able to explain the whole case from the overall analysis of the whole case.

But there are also defects. That's why Mengyao was moved from the 9th floor to the 8th floor? But at that time, everyone clearly saw Mengyao on the balcony of room 801 on the 8th floor. When we saw Mengyao again, many places of Mengyao changed.

"Gu Chen..."

Just as officer Wang wanted to speak, Gu Chen directly interrupted, "elder martial brother Wang, I know what you want to say. I feel that we may have been deceived by the murderer."

"Cover up?"

Hearing Gu Chen's speech, everyone said in unison.

I feel that this case is becoming more and more elusive.

At this time, Lu Weiwei couldn't wait. She directly asked Gu Chen, "brother Gu, just tell us your opinion. What's going on?"

"Cough." Gu Chen coughed twice, but he couldn't help saying, "since everyone wants to know why, I'll tell you straight. This Room 802 may not be the first crime scene at all."

"Not the first crime scene?" Lu Weiwei frowned and asked, "is that room 902 you said?"

Gu Chen nodded silently.

"But it's not right." Lu Weiwei shook her head and didn't quite understand, so she continued to ask Gu Chen: "brother Gu, you and I eat in room 801, which is the room sublet by Ma Tiankai."

"This room is also the place where Mengyao rented yesterday. The house number is 801. It can't be wrong?"

Gu Chen nodded silently and admitted, "yes, when we entered the house, the door number was indeed 801, but can you be sure that the location we reached was really the eighth floor?"

"Ah?" Lu Weiwei was stunned and said thoughtfully, "it's difficult... Isn't it?"

Glancing back at officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, Lu Weiwei said, "Lao Wang, Xiao Yuan, do you think so?"

"This..." Gu Chen was confused. Officer Wang also scratched the back of his head and said with a puzzled face:

"This is the place where we took the elevator and came together. It's really room 801. Doesn't that seem to be a problem?"

"The house number can be changed at any time." just as Wang Jingguan's voice fell, Gu Chen put forward his new point of view.

Hearing the speech, Yuan Shasha hurried to the gate and pulled the doorplate of Room 802 with her hand.

At this time, Yuan Shasha surprisingly found that the door number of Room 802 was pasted with adhesive tape, and there was no screw to fix it at all.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Shasha hurried into the house to report: "elder martial brother Gu, elder martial brother Wang, the door number is not fixed with screws, but glued."

"Glued?" police officer Wang was surprised when Yuan Sasa said this, and said in a broken way:

"If so, can't you pull it off and stick it on again?"

"If this condition is met, the house number can be pasted freely."

Looking up at Gu Chen, officer Wang also admitted: "this condition seems to be met, so you think the place where we were at that time was not the 8th floor, but the 9th floor?"

"Yes."

Finally, make complaints about the police officer, Gu Chen also said: "the killer played a blind eye with us because the reason is very simple. We didn't see the instructions from the lift until we entered the lift. Did you find out?"

"It seems so." Lu Weiwei held her chest in her hands and said thoughtfully, "I remember when we went upstairs, we didn't pay attention to the elevator instructions."

"That's because someone deliberately blocked his sight," Gu Chen reminded.

Everyone was stunned. Looking back briefly, they suddenly found that when they took the elevator upstairs from the first floor, the elevator indicator lights and buttons were indeed blocked by someone.

Who would it be?

After a few seconds of meditation, everyone suddenly looked up and looked at Ma Tiankai.

"That's right." Lu Weiwei stepped forward two steps and pointed to Ma Tiankai: "it's you Ma Tiankai who asked us to get on the elevator. Press the elevator button, and it's you Ma Tiankai who blocked our sight."

"Well... How does this have anything to do with me?" I felt that everyone misunderstood themselves. Ma Tiankai quickly explained for himself: "weren't we chatting at that time? I didn't pay attention, so I just pressed the elevator button and talked with you all the time."

"Am I guilty just because I was standing on the side of the button and blocking my sight?"

"Yes." I think Ma Tiankai's words are reasonable. Officer Wang turned to Gu Chen and explained, "just like Ma Tiankai, it doesn't seem to explain anything at all."

"After all, Ma Tiankai didn't block his sight when we went downstairs."

"Wrong." Gu Chen reminded police officer Wang, "elder martial brother Wang, did you forget who helped us press the elevator button on the first floor?"

"Who helped us press the elevator button on the first floor?" reminded by Gu Chenyi, officer Wang fell into meditation again.

Lu Weiwei responded quickly and replied directly, "it's Ma Tiankai."

"Yes, it's him," Gu Chen confirmed.

But Ma Tiankai retorted, "I'll help you press the button on the first floor in the elevator. It's also out of kindness."

"Besides, after you went downstairs, I stayed at the 802 door alone. I didn't go there and didn't block your sight in the elevator. Why did you rely on me?"

"Maybe it's because you played another trick with us." Gu Chen walked up to him and argued:

"You know we'll look for elevator buttons, and maybe we'll find something fishy."

"So, you help us press the button on the first floor. Usually, because we are anxious, we don't seem to pay too much attention to the elevator instructions."

"Because this elevator is relatively old, and the elevator hiccup is not equipped with a camera, the keys seem a little old."

"These conditions seem to provide conditions for you to use the blindfold. You may use the blindfold to muddle through when we are unprepared, and this trick may be on the elevator button."
