Monitoring room.
Hearing Zhuang Qi's various explanations, Gu Chen probably knew why the old man appeared in the warehouse of the railway freight yard.
Together, Zhuang Qi cut the barbed wire and let the old man in.
Han Xu shook his head and pointed to Zhuang Qi's bad breath: "Zhuang Qi, Zhuang Qi, I really don't know what to say about you? You not only let outsiders in, but also cut off the barbed wire? You..."
"Mr. Han calmed down. Xiaozhuang also pitied the old man. He was afraid that the old man would freeze to death." Seeing that Han Xu was angry, the middle-aged female worker also hurried to persuade him.
To say that all these things are caused by Zhuang Qi.
Now the fire has swallowed up the warehouse, and the old man has been burned into coke. Everything seems to have been doomed.
After Gu Chen put all this on record, he also asked Zhuang Qi, "you said the old man just came to live at night. Does he still stay near the railway overpass during the day?"
"Well, yes, he usually stays there during the day and moves occasionally, but the range of activities is also nearby." After all, Zhuang Qi knew the scope of the old man's activities, so when Gu Chen asked, she explained it truthfully.
"Very good." Gu Chen nodded silently and asked, "if so, the old man usually runs to the warehouse to live in the dead of night, and there is no problem with the electric kettle you give him."
"Then the cause of the fire seems to have to be investigated separately?"
"Er..." Zhuang Qi was a little embarrassed, but she told the truth: "Comrade police, I can guarantee that my electric kettle has no problem and will not cause a fire at all."
"Don't be in such a hurry." Officer Wang interrupted Zhuang Qi and explained, "as for whether the fire was caused by electrical appliances, we have to hand it over to the fire brigade for investigation."
"But this dead old man, you have to help me improve the information."
"Ah?" Hearing what officer Wang said, Zhuang Qi didn't seem to understand.
"Don't understand?" Officer Wang raised his eyebrows and asked her.
Zhuang Qi shook her head: "I don't know the old man. How can I help you improve your information?"
"Did you see him yesterday?" Lu Weiwei asked hoarsely.
Zhuang Qi thought for a few seconds, then nodded and said, "I saw him over the railway overpass at noon yesterday. He has been wandering nearby..."
Zhuang Qi is also a group of panic now.
You know, it's a big deal that the warehouse in the open-air freight yard was burned.
And the old man who helped himself is now burned into coke, which makes Zhuang Qi a little sad.
Originally, I only wanted to help the old man, use the warmth of the warehouse to protect him and help him through the cold.
But I didn't expect that a fire today would burn all this.
The death of the old man is also a great blow to Zhuang Qi.
At the moment, Zhuang Qi told Gu Chen everything about the old man, and her eyes gradually turned red.
I feel like I'm sobbing.
After Gu Chen's records were complete, Zhuang Qi could no longer restrain her tears and directly covered her face and began to cry.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the whole office was awkward.
Han Xu also had a bad way: "I didn't say anything about you? Why are you still crying?"
"I hurt him. I shouldn't have been a Bodhisattva. It's all my fault to let him live in the warehouse. If it weren't for me, he wouldn't die. Sobbing..."
Zhuang Qi felt that she was very wronged at the moment. Thinking about the charred body of the old man, she immediately cried more and more.
The middle-aged female worker quickly hugged Zhuang Qi, patted her back and comforted, "it's not all your fault. How did the fire start? We don't know yet, and you don't have to blame yourself too much."
"If there are police comrades, don't be sad, ah..."
On the other end, Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and police officer Wang also walked out of the monitoring room under the leadership of Han Xu.
Han Xu also said with a helpless wry smile: "Comrade police, I'm really sorry. In fact, we didn't know about the old man before."
"Unexpectedly, it was the new employee of our company who let the old man in without authorization, which led to this great disaster."
"Looking back, I want to make a self-examination and strengthen supervision in the future."
Seeing Gu Chen walking straight out of the office building, but he didn't answer, Han Xu chased Gu Chen for a few steps and said, "Comrade police, I don't know anything about this. It really has nothing to do with me."
"I know, but you have regulatory responsibility." Gu Chen just casually said that he came to the place of the incident again.
At this moment, Huang Zunlong and Ding Liang have also come to the scene and separated the scene with a cordon.
Maple takakawa of the Technology Department of the Municipal Bureau has also arranged for people to put the charred body into a transparent evidence bag.
Seeing Gu Chen's several people just came over and followed by a chirping fat man, Gao Chuanfeng directly asked, "Gu Chen, what's the situation with this man? Burning like this?"
"A homeless old man, who has not been identified yet." Gu Chen came over and said.
"I haven't confirmed my identity yet?" Feng takakawa heard the speech and said, "what shall we do now? Take it back to the Technology Department of the Municipal Bureau?"
"Yes." Gu Chen nodded silently and explained, "first put the body into the body bag and take it back to the technical department of the Municipal Bureau for testing. I will go with you."
"All right." It feels that the treatment of this charred body is much more complicated than the treatment of ordinary bodies.
Gao Chuanfeng had no choice but to harden his head and ask two assistants to help transport the body.
To say that the charred body is troublesome enough to carry, we must ensure that we handle it with care.
Some falling debris even needs to be collected.
Subsequently, Gu Chen took Lu Weiwei, police officer Wang and Yuan Shasha to the scene of the crime, that is, the charred warehouse.
At this moment, white smoke is still emitting from all corners of the warehouse, and all kinds of unpleasant smells are coming to my face.
After fireman Xiao Li checked the last open fire, he came out and said to Gu Chen, "Gu Chen, we have to go. I'll give it to you here."
"Thank you." Gu Chen thanked and then asked, "Xiao Li, how do you think the fire was caused?"
"This..." firefighter Xiao Li was stunned and said faintly: "to tell the truth, I'm not easy to judge. After all, there are too many sundries on the scene."
"There are also a lot of wood and fiber, such as snake skin bags, which are particularly easy to burn, and I won't say anything about other sundries."
"Anyway, we found a burnt electric kettle at the scene. I think it should be caused by the improper use of electrical appliances. Generally, this kind of fire is the case."
"But the quality of this electric kettle is very good, and it will automatically cut off power when there is no water or insufficient water. How can it be a fire caused by electrical appliances?"
Lu Weiwei just heard Zhuang Qi's explanation and immediately felt that what Zhuang Qi said was reasonable.
But fireman Xiao Li smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know. Generally speaking, many fires are caused by the improper use of electrical appliances."
"Some are short circuited in the process of use, some are spontaneous combustion on the spot, and the owners of many electrical appliances can see it."
"So it's convenient to investigate, but here..."
Fireman Xiao Li looked around and said helplessly, "but it's burned like this, and many things are flammable."
"And now we don't know whether it was the old man who lit the inflammables around him or something else?"
"Therefore, at present, we have at least found the existence of using electrical appliances, so it is temporarily inferred that it is caused by electrical short circuit."
After a pause, fireman Xiao Li said again, "but is it? It's hard for us to judge. If you have any new discoveries, you can also inform us in time."
"All right." Knowing that the site environment is too complex, especially there are too many combustibles on site, Gu Chen also understands what firefighter Xiao Li said and can only thank him again and again.
Before long, the firemen assembled and drove away.
Gu Chen went to the middle of the warehouse.
This warehouse is really different from several other large warehouses. It is a temporary warehouse for storing sundries.
Compared with other large warehouses, this warehouse looks a little narrow, but Gu Chen can find some ashes powder in the ruins and easily move the scorched electric kettle aside.
Seeing this, the middle-aged female worker quickly asked Zhuang Qi, who was in trouble, to help count the items.
As the specific list of the warehouse has always been in Zhuang Qi's hands, Zhuang Qi also hurriedly followed Gu Chen behind, hoping to redeem her damned Bodhisattva's heart by explaining some debris to Gu Chen.
"Officer Gu, this is where the snake skin bag is placed, so the ashes of the snake skin bag are all around."
"Here, here is the place where some wood is put, all the sundries on the railway freight yard..."
Zhuang Qi explained carefully, and Gu Chen listened carefully.
But after a circle, Gu Chen really couldn't find any suspicious clues.
The surrounding area has already been burned in a mess by the fire. Coupled with fire fighting, many places are now particularly humid.
Gu Chen turned and asked Han Xu, "were you there when the body was moved out?"
"No... yes, I was there." Han Xu heard the speech and hurried to Gu Chen.
"What happened to him?" Gu Chen asked.
"Just..." Han Xu looked around and then pointed to a location and said, "just lie here."
"Is this the right place?" Officer Wang pointed to the door and said.
Han Xu nodded silently: "yes, I think I want to escape. I may be blocked by the combustibles in front of me, so I didn't escape successfully. Then I was smoked down by the smoke and finally swallowed up by the fire."
Speaking of this, Han Xu also sighed with some regret.
Lu Weiwei asked in a hoarse voice, "is there a picture of the scene?"
"No... no, but what I said is true. Not only me, but many people at the scene saw the body lying here."
Gu Chen listened to Han Xu's explanation and came to the so-called crime site. Then, Yuan Sasha took the toolbox and handed a bag of white powder to Gu Chen.
According to Han Xu's words, Gu Chen painted the specific location of the old man at that time with powder.
Before long, a human figure lying near the door was clear at a glance.
Gu Chen patted his hands, then took out his mobile phone and photographed the scene.
At this time, maple takakawa, who had packed the body, also went outside and shouted, "Gu Chen, we're ready here. Do you want to go back to the Technology Department of the Municipal Bureau with me?"
"You get in the car first and I'll come right away." Gu Chen also said casually.
After completing the preliminary investigation of the site, Gu Chen called Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong and also explained:
"You stay here and deal with the follow-up work. Now I'll go to the Technology Department of the Municipal Bureau with Gao Chuanfeng to see what's going on with the body?"
"No problem. Leave it to us." Ding Liang also has considerable experience in dealing with this follow-up work, even if he agrees.
Then, everyone pulled up the cordon, and Gu Chen drove to the technical section of the Municipal Bureau with Lu Weiwei, police officer Wang and Yuan Shasha.
……
……
After returning to the technical section of the Municipal Bureau, it was lunchtime. Therefore, Gu Chen and his team also followed takakawa Maple team to enjoy the packed lunch outside the testing room. Only then did they prepare for the final testing of the body.
Takakawa Feng also said with admiration: "I said Gu Chen, thank you for daring to test the body after lunch? You're not afraid to vomit everything you eat in your stomach at noon?"
"What kind of policeman should I be if I'm afraid of dead bodies? I have no problem." Gu Chen said.
Officer Wang also grinned: "I have no problem."
Yuan Sasha was a little nervous and said, "although it looks disgusting, can I stay outside later? Because I'm afraid I can't control it and vomit out and dirty the testing room."
"Ha ha." Listening to Yuan Shasha's words, takakawa Maple was a little proud.
Xin said that some people in the criminal investigation team of Furong Branch still dislike this charred body, otherwise they will lose face.
After all, my two assistants have been vomiting in the bathroom since they came back, and they have no appetite for lunch.
But it's a little unreasonable to say that Gu Chen's criminal investigation team didn't have any special reaction.
Fortunately, Yuan Sasha still can't stand it. Think about it this way, Feng Gaochuan has a much more balanced heart.
Lu Weiwei took out a paper towel and touched her mouth. With a slightly hoarse voice, she said, "although it's a little disgusting, it's not bad to vomit. I'm ok, no problem."
"Luweiwei, what happened to your voice?" Just noticed that Lu Weiwei had not spoken before, and Gao Chuanfeng was also quite curious.
According to the past, when Gu Chen's team came to the technology section of the Municipal Bureau, Lu Weiwei was sure to chatter, but today it was so quiet that maple takakawa felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere?
But where is it? Takakawa Feng couldn't say it again.
As a result, as soon as Lu Weiwei spoke, Gao Chuanfeng immediately understood that there was something wrong with Lu Weiwei's voice.
Lu Weiwei also waved her hand and said helplessly: "I used my voice too much last night. Now my voice is a little dry, but after taking some medicine, I feel... Much better than when I got up early in the morning."
"Over using your voice?" When Lu Weiwei said this, Gao Chuanfeng also said with a smile: "then you should talk less, take some medicine, have a good sleep tonight and get up early tomorrow morning. It is estimated that your throat will recover."
"Let me borrow your auspicious words from takakawa Feng." Lu Weiwei also sighed. She felt that the days when she couldn't speak freely were really hard enough.
Here, because two assistants of takakawa Maple have vomited badly, they even have no appetite for lunch.
Therefore, Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and police officer Wang put on protective equipment and came to the detection platform with Gao Chuanfeng.
In the face of such a charred body, even with a mask, everyone can feel the unpleasant smell.
Seeing that everyone is wearing gloves, takakawa just wanted to ask if everyone is ready? As a result, Gu Chen robbed his lines.
"Are you ready? Let's start when you're ready." Gu Chen said.
Everyone echoed and everyone immediately began to operate.
The difficulty coefficient of detecting charred corpses is doubled compared with that of ordinary corpses.
In particular, many parts of the body, now charred by the fire, will appear very fragile.
Gu Chen can see the corpse more thoroughly with the help of the surgical light on the testing table.
At the moment, the body is already charred, but the burning degree of each part is different.
Generally speaking, if there is a fire in a house or factory, there is almost no example of complete burning unless there are a large number of highly combustible substances in the fire area.
But in today's warehouse, Gu Chen still found some combustibles, such as piles of snake skin bags and some waste wood.
Gu Chen originally thought that since the old man lived in the warehouse, he might be afraid of the cold outside and light some wood in the warehouse for heating.
But think of the warehouse with this structure. It is obviously not advisable to burn a fire for heating.
First of all, the old man lived in the warehouse secretly, and Zhuang Qi specially told him not to be found by other colleagues in the railway freight yard.
So burning a fire to keep warm in the warehouse in the utility room, it is obvious that the light of the fire and the burning white smoke will soon expose their goals.
Moreover, the smoke cannot be removed smoothly when the warehouse is ignited for heating, which is easy to lead to suffocation.
However, none of the these were found when Gu Chen inspected scene of the crime.
After all, if it was burning wood for heating, there would be a pile of wood burning debris at the scene, but Gu Chen didn't find it.
All the burning wood on the site is stacked against the corner.
Even if it was burned by the fire, it was piled up.
Therefore, after eliminating the possible short circuit caused by electrical appliances, Gu Chen ruled out the possibility of the elderly burning a fire for heating.
While checking the charred body of the old man, Gu Chen also quickly shared his thoughts to the public.
After hearing this, officer Wang couldn't help sighing: "if it wasn't caused by electrical short circuit and the fire caused by the old man's own ignition, how did the fire happen?"
"At present, it is not clear." Gu Chen shook his head and sighed while examining the body:
"I checked the scene and found that the old man was crawling. From the state of the old man's death, it should be crawling towards the door in an attempt to escape from the warehouse."
"Yes." Lu Weiwei also sighed and shook her head with a hoarse voice: "the old man may want to escape from the warehouse, but the smoke was too big at that time."
"The old man may be in a state of rest, but suddenly found himself in a sea of fire, but when the old man wanted to escape, he was still surrounded by smoke and couldn't distinguish between East, West, North and south."
Taking a deep breath, Lu Weiwei also shook her head reluctantly: "therefore, he is likely to breathe in too much smoke, resulting in suffocation and death, and then burned alive by the fire."
Said here, Lu Weiwei couldn't help choking.
Looking at a reef corpse on the detection platform in front of her, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but burst into tears in her eyes.
After Gu Chen checked the whole body of the charred corpse, he also looked up at Feng Gaochuan and said, "Feng Gaochuan, the inspection of the whole body is almost done. You can test the carbon monoxide content in blood and tissue."
"I see." Although it is his own territory, takakawa maple is still a little awkward under the command of Gu Chen.
Two frustrated assistants really have to learn more from Gu Chen.
Otherwise, you can operate independently.
Lu Weiwei looked at the charred body and said with a hoarse voice: "brother Gu, the bodies are roasted like this? Can you still extract blood samples?"
"It's OK." Gu Chen paused his hands, turned his head and said to Lu Weiwei:
"Don't underestimate the charred body. In fact, the charred body still has a lot of information to provide."
"For example, including some residues that may be left on the body of the corpse or objects that may not come from the human body itself may provide effective evidence for our investigation."
"Even if the body has been burned into black carbon, the content of carbon monoxide can still be detected from some blood and tissues through today's technology."
"How and where is the blood extracted?" Looking at the charred body in front of her, Lu Weiwei was also full of question marks.
Gu Chen pointed to the heart of the charred corpse and said, "the first autopsy of this charred corpse, if you are lucky, you can still draw some blood samples from the heart."
"After all, the other parts have been charred, so we can only draw some blood from the heart."
Looking at a piece of broken black meat falling on the test bench, Gu Chen then said: "cut some charred meat, and then take blood for the family members to test DNA."
"Er..."
Hearing Gu Chen's words, Lu Weiwei can't imagine any more.
Police officer Wang, on the other side, checked the abdomen of the body for a few times, but said: "they are all charred and their intestines are broken."
"Let me do it." Gu Chen knew a lot and said everything he knew. Gao Chuanfeng directly took out his extraction tool and began to extract the samples.
Gu Chen stepped back to make room for Gao Chuanfeng.
With the successful completion of the extraction operation, maple takakawa also brought the samples to another testing platform and began to test these samples through high-precision instruments and equipment.
And everyone sat on one side for a while.
Before long, Gao Chuanfeng had the result and said to the crowd, "the result has come out."
"How?" Gu Chen looked up and asked him.
"Strange." Gao Chuanfeng was also confused and said slowly, "the test results show that the carbon monoxide content of the old man seems to be lower than normal."
"How could this happen?" Gu Chen heard the speech and immediately stood up and walked to takakawa maple.
Takakawa Feng also took the test data to Gu Chen for reference, and casually said: "it is reasonable that the results of our test, carbon monoxide should be higher than normal."
"That's right." Gu Chen nodded in agreement and said curiously, "but why is this the result?"
"Brother Gu, the carbon monoxide test results are higher than normal. Does that mean that the old man died before the fire?"
After all, Lu Weiwei also knew these aspects of knowledge, so she directly asked Gu Chen.
Gu Chen nodded silently and explained, "elder martial sister Lu is right. Now we have a way to detect the content of carbon monoxide in blood and tissues."
"But if the content of carbon monoxide is very high, it means that the victim has inhaled carbon monoxide, which is the by-product of burning goods. We can know that the victim was still alive when he was burned by the fire."
After a pause, Gu Chen said thoughtfully, "at least... It can mean that the victim has survived for a while."
"But if you died before the fire, the detected carbon monoxide content will not be higher than normal."
Looking back at the charred corpse on the detection table, Gu Chen suddenly came up and said, "to judge whether the dead still had signs of life when they were burned by the fire, the key is to find out the evidence that the victim was still breathing. Fortunately, we still have this cutting-edge equipment to detect."
"That's right." When officer Wang heard the speech, he couldn't help saying, "but at the beginning of last century, there was no such measurement method."
"Generally speaking, to get this result, forensic doctors will look for coal ash and burn marks in the lungs, bronchus and throat."
After a pause, officer Wang added: "however, if there are burns and coal ash in these parts, it means that the victim is still breathing when burned by the fire."
"If you are burned by fire after death, these signs may not be found at all."
"That's right." Takakawa Feng smelled the speech and said with approval: "so I didn't find these things when I was checking the charred body just now."
"Coupled with the detection of carbon monoxide content, it can basically be concluded that the deceased has a high probability of being burned by the fire after he died."
"The problem seems a little complicated." After listening to what everyone said, Lu Weiwei suddenly felt that things seemed far from so simple.
Gu Chen walked back and forth for two times, frowning and saying, "if the victim didn't lose consciousness, but was trapped in the fire, maybe he would leave evidence of trying to escape."
Looking up at the crowd, Gu Chen said, "it's like a scratch on the door panel or a fragment in the palm of your finger."
"Or maybe when he tried to escape, he grabbed off a few nails, which theoretically exist."
"Moreover, we can judge that the victim still had signs of life during the fire by finding coal ash in the lungs, burn marks and nail damage."
"But I've thought about this before at the scene, but I can't find them all, so I can only explain that maybe he died before the fire."
"That's right." Hearing Gu Chen's explanation, Feng Gaochuan reconfirmed the charred body and confirmed Gu Chen's words. He sighed:
"Gu Chen, your guess is right. Now I can conclude that the charred body actually died before it was charred. This can be verified."
"That's strange." Hearing Gao Chuanfeng's words, Lu Weiwei has a hoarse voice and has no good airway:
"But if the old man died before he was burned, did he die naturally or was he murdered to death?"
"If it's the latter, it's murder. The fire..."
"Then the fire may have been deliberately set by the murderer in order to destroy the corpse." Officer Wang also answered.
The voice fell and the scene was suddenly quiet for a few seconds.
Everyone looks at each other. It seems that at this moment, everyone has reached a consensus.
"Damn it, the old man may have been murdered. The murderer deliberately set a fire in order to cover up all this." Gu Chen frowned and felt that the whole event was developing in an uncontrollable direction.
At this moment, he Junchao in the office also called.
Gu Chen took off his gloves, directly clicked hands-free and said, "elder martial brother he, how is your investigation going?"
"According to your request, I searched the monitoring near the railway overpass yesterday and intercepted the front photo of the homeless old man. After big data investigation, I can basically determine the identity of the old man."
"Found it?" After hearing the results from he Junchao, officer Wang was also happy to look out:
"It's much easier to find out who the homeless old man is. At least we can follow the vine and find out the relationship network around the old man and see who is hurting him."
After a pause, officer Wang hurriedly asked, "what's the name of this man, he Junchao? What did he do before?"
"The man's name is..."
He Junchao at the other end of the conversation also said after a short pause of two seconds: "this man's name is... Zhou Wencai, a native of Jiangnan City."
"Moreover, according to my extended information query, there are some amazing findings."
"He Junchao, don't sell off and say it quickly." Lu Weiwei's voice was recovering, and she couldn't help urging her to say.
He Junchao at the other end of the phone laughed twice and said slowly, "don't worry, this man was not good a few years ago. He is a chairman."
"Dong... Chairman? Is this the chairman?" When officer Wang heard what he Junchao said, he frowned and quickly asked:
"Hey, I said he Junchao, are you seriously inquiring? How can this wandering old man be the chairman? Are you mistaken?"
"I won't make a mistake. Although this man is sloppy now, his appearance recognition is still very high. His name is Zhou Wencai. He was the chairman of Wencai Huaxia company before."
"And this man has always been charitable and has done many public welfare activities. He is a great philanthropist. Unfortunately, he didn't last long. Later, the company went bankrupt because of strategic investment mistakes."
"Later, it slowly faded out of the public view, and few people paid more attention to it."
For fear that everyone would not believe it, he Junchao reminded again, "you can search for Zhou Wencai in Jiangnan City or Wencai Huaxia Co., Ltd. you can find this person."
"And the photos and videos of this person who did public welfare a few years ago can be found."
Listening to he Junchao's various explanations, Gu Chen couldn't care too much. He immediately began to use his mobile phone to search and found some reports about Zhou Wencai.
"Found it." Gu Chen lights up his mobile phone in front of everyone: "elder martial brother he is right. This week Wencai is indeed an enterprise boss. He has always been loyal to doing public welfare undertakings before."
"Really?" Lu Weiwei looked down and was shocked and said, "this company is quite large. It was very beautiful a few years ago, but how can it be like this now?"
Seeing some information reports about Zhou Wencai, Lu Weiwei couldn't help feeling that such a good man would fall here?
Gu Chen also frowned and said thoughtfully, "what did Zhou Wencai go through? Why did he change from the chairman of a company to a homeless old man now?"
"That's pretty good." Officer Wang took a deep breath and said, "a big company like this is usually the result of the hard work of these people for a lifetime."
"It can be said that this kind of company is also the epitome of the struggle of these founders for a lifetime."
"But if you think about it, the business empire you have worked hard to build over the years suddenly collapsed overnight."
"Most people can't stand this kind of gap? Especially when it's impossible for people to make a comeback at the end of the year, people with poor psychological tolerance may directly find a rooftop and jump down."
"But Zhou Wencai is OK. At least he's still alive. Maybe... He's just stimulated and has a mental problem."
"But why didn't his family find him?" Gu Chen also questioned.
After all, Zhou Wencai is a native of Jiangnan City, and the company is also in Jiangnan City.
Normally speaking, Zhou Wencai's family should also live in Jiangnan City, but why didn't anyone come to him?
Let such an old man, so down and out on the street, still have to rely on some alms.
This super contrast makes Gu Chen can't believe that all this is true?
Officer Wang tut tut twice and said with a light smile, "maybe this Zhou Wencai has been hiding from his family?"
"We were in the office building of the railway freight yard just now. Didn't the silly girl named... Zhuang Qi also tell us about it?"
"She said she would help Zhou Wencai find his family and take him home. She also wanted to contact our police for help."
"Eh? It seems to have been said." As soon as Lu Weiwei heard it, she immediately reacted.
Yes, Zhuang Qi has explained this situation to you in the monitoring room of the office building of the railway freight yard.
"So." Officer Wang also snapped his fingers and said:
"So in my opinion, Zhou Wencai is hiding from his family and unwilling to go home."
"Otherwise, Zhuang Qi repeatedly wants to help him go home, then why doesn't he go home?"
"Also, Han Xu, the person in charge, has always said that the old man is a guy with a brain problem, but what did Zhuang Qi say?"
"Zhuang Qi said that the old man has no problem with his brain and looks very smart." Lu Weiwei answered.
Officer Wang nodded silently: "isn't that right? Zhou Wencai may have been unable to face his family because of the pressure of bankruptcy, so he chose to run away from home alone."
"As for why his family didn't go to her? Maybe his family knew where he was? And they also observed him secretly. Maybe."
After a pause, officer Wang looked up and asked Gu Chen, "Gu Chen, is what I said reasonable?"
"Yes." Gu Chen nodded silently and echoed, "elder martial brother Wang said it's very possible. Zhou Wencai, his family may not know where he is? Or they may know."
"If you don't come to find Zhou Wencai, it means that Zhou Wencai didn't tell his family where he was going and what he was doing at present. These may not be disclosed to his family."
"And his family may mistakenly think that he just wants to go out and relax."
After thinking about it, Gu Chen said again: "in my opinion, the most important thing at present is to quickly contact Zhou Wencai's family, and then we can follow his family to see if we can find some useful clues?"
"Agree with elder martial brother Gu." Lu Weiwei nodded silently, then said to the phone, "he Junchao, can you ask Zhou Wencai's family to our police station?"
"Well... I'll try. If I make an appointment, I'll let you know."
"That's OK."
After simple communication on the phone, both parties hung up the phone.
At this moment, everyone looks at each other and seems to feel that things are getting more and more strange.
The first is the identity of the elderly. Zhou Wencai, who is the chairman of a company and a public welfare person, often does public welfare activities in Jiangnan City to give back to the society.
Unfortunately, Zhou Wencai's "Wencai Huaxia Co., Ltd." went bankrupt a few years ago because of some debt and investment problems.
After that, Zhou Wen disappeared.
But when Zhou Wencai was found again, he was buried in the sea of fire, which made people feel sad.
But what's more incredible is that Zhou Wencai was swallowed up by the fire after his death.
Therefore, it has always been believed that the fire is really strange. It seems that someone set fire to the whole warehouse after murdering Zhou Wencai, so as to destroy the corpse.
But now, does the killer exist? The question of who the murderer will be suddenly put on the table.
Therefore, everyone feels that only by finding Zhou Wencai's family can they learn more about Zhou Wencai before and after his bankruptcy.
Everyone here is still doing the final test on Zhou Wencai's charred body, and he Junchao's phone calls again.
Gu Chen calls hands-free again
"Gu Chen, Zhou Wencai's family has been contacted. It's his lover and daughter. I have made an appointment with them. They are all out of town, but not far away. They will come back today."
"What time do you want to come over?" Gu Chen asked.
"Around 7:30 p.m., is that ok?" He Junchao said on the phone.
Gu Chen said, "then make an appointment until 7:30 pm. We're almost over here. Come back right away."
The two men communicated with each other and both hung up.

Monitoring room.
Hearing Zhuang Qi's various explanations, Gu Chen probably knew why the old man appeared in the warehouse of the railway freight yard.
Together, Zhuang Qi cut the barbed wire and let the old man in.
Han Xu shook his head and pointed to Zhuang Qi's bad breath: "Zhuang Qi, Zhuang Qi, I really don't know what to say about you? You not only let outsiders in, but also cut off the barbed wire? You..."
"Mr. Han calmed down. Xiaozhuang also pitied the old man. He was afraid that the old man would freeze to death." Seeing that Han Xu was angry, the middle-aged female worker also hurried to persuade him.
To say that all these things are caused by Zhuang Qi.
Now the fire has swallowed up the warehouse, and the old man has been burned into coke. Everything seems to have been doomed.
After Gu Chen put all this on record, he also asked Zhuang Qi, "you said the old man just came to live at night. Does he still stay near the railway overpass during the day?"
"Well, yes, he usually stays there during the day and moves occasionally, but the range of activities is also nearby." After all, Zhuang Qi knew the scope of the old man's activities, so when Gu Chen asked, she explained it truthfully.
"Very good." Gu Chen nodded silently and asked, "if so, the old man usually runs to the warehouse to live in the dead of night, and there is no problem with the electric kettle you give him."
"Then the cause of the fire seems to have to be investigated separately?"
"Er..." Zhuang Qi was a little embarrassed, but she told the truth: "Comrade police, I can guarantee that my electric kettle has no problem and will not cause a fire at all."
"Don't be in such a hurry." Officer Wang interrupted Zhuang Qi and explained, "as for whether the fire was caused by electrical appliances, we have to hand it over to the fire brigade for investigation."
"But this dead old man, you have to help me improve the information."
"Ah?" Hearing what officer Wang said, Zhuang Qi didn't seem to understand.
"Don't understand?" Officer Wang raised his eyebrows and asked her.
Zhuang Qi shook her head: "I don't know the old man. How can I help you improve your information?"
"Did you see him yesterday?" Lu Weiwei asked hoarsely.
Zhuang Qi thought for a few seconds, then nodded and said, "I saw him over the railway overpass at noon yesterday. He has been wandering nearby..."
Zhuang Qi is also a group of panic now.
You know, it's a big deal that the warehouse in the open-air freight yard was burned.
And the old man who helped himself is now burned into coke, which makes Zhuang Qi a little sad.
Originally, I only wanted to help the old man, use the warmth of the warehouse to protect him and help him through the cold.
But I didn't expect that a fire today would burn all this.
The death of the old man is also a great blow to Zhuang Qi.
At the moment, Zhuang Qi told Gu Chen everything about the old man, and her eyes gradually turned red.
I feel like I'm sobbing.
After Gu Chen's records were complete, Zhuang Qi could no longer restrain her tears and directly covered her face and began to cry.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the whole office was awkward.
Han Xu also had a bad way: "I didn't say anything about you? Why are you still crying?"
"I hurt him. I shouldn't have been a Bodhisattva. It's all my fault to let him live in the warehouse. If it weren't for me, he wouldn't die. Sobbing..."
Zhuang Qi felt that she was very wronged at the moment. Thinking about the charred body of the old man, she immediately cried more and more.
The middle-aged female worker quickly hugged Zhuang Qi, patted her back and comforted, "it's not all your fault. How did the fire start? We don't know yet, and you don't have to blame yourself too much."
"If there are police comrades, don't be sad, ah..."
On the other end, Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and police officer Wang also walked out of the monitoring room under the leadership of Han Xu.
Han Xu also said with a helpless wry smile: "Comrade police, I'm really sorry. In fact, we didn't know about the old man before."
"Unexpectedly, it was the new employee of our company who let the old man in without authorization, which led to this great disaster."
"Looking back, I want to make a self-examination and strengthen supervision in the future."
Seeing Gu Chen walking straight out of the office building, but he didn't answer, Han Xu chased Gu Chen for a few steps and said, "Comrade police, I don't know anything about this. It really has nothing to do with me."
"I know, but you have regulatory responsibility." Gu Chen just casually said that he came to the place of the incident again.
At this moment, Huang Zunlong and Ding Liang have also come to the scene and separated the scene with a cordon.
Maple takakawa of the Technology Department of the Municipal Bureau has also arranged for people to put the charred body into a transparent evidence bag.
Seeing Gu Chen's several people just came over and followed by a chirping fat man, Gao Chuanfeng directly asked, "Gu Chen, what's the situation with this man? Burning like this?"
"A homeless old man, who has not been identified yet." Gu Chen came over and said.
"I haven't confirmed my identity yet?" Feng takakawa heard the speech and said, "what shall we do now? Take it back to the Technology Department of the Municipal Bureau?"
"Yes." Gu Chen nodded silently and explained, "first put the body into the body bag and take it back to the technical department of the Municipal Bureau for testing. I will go with you."
"All right." It feels that the treatment of this charred body is much more complicated than the treatment of ordinary bodies.
Gao Chuanfeng had no choice but to harden his head and ask two assistants to help transport the body.
To say that the charred body is troublesome enough to carry, we must ensure that we handle it with care.
Some falling debris even needs to be collected.
Subsequently, Gu Chen took Lu Weiwei, police officer Wang and Yuan Shasha to the scene of the crime, that is, the charred warehouse.
At this moment, white smoke is still emitting from all corners of the warehouse, and all kinds of unpleasant smells are coming to my face.
After fireman Xiao Li checked the last open fire, he came out and said to Gu Chen, "Gu Chen, we have to go. I'll give it to you here."
"Thank you." Gu Chen thanked and then asked, "Xiao Li, how do you think the fire was caused?"
"This..." firefighter Xiao Li was stunned and said faintly: "to tell the truth, I'm not easy to judge. After all, there are too many sundries on the scene."
"There are also a lot of wood and fiber, such as snake skin bags, which are particularly easy to burn, and I won't say anything about other sundries."
"Anyway, we found a burnt electric kettle at the scene. I think it should be caused by the improper use of electrical appliances. Generally, this kind of fire is the case."
"But the quality of this electric kettle is very good, and it will automatically cut off power when there is no water or insufficient water. How can it be a fire caused by electrical appliances?"
Lu Weiwei just heard Zhuang Qi's explanation and immediately felt that what Zhuang Qi said was reasonable.
But fireman Xiao Li smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know. Generally speaking, many fires are caused by the improper use of electrical appliances."
"Some are short circuited in the process of use, some are spontaneous combustion on the spot, and the owners of many electrical appliances can see it."
"So it's convenient to investigate, but here..."
Fireman Xiao Li looked around and said helplessly, "but it's burned like this, and many things are flammable."
"And now we don't know whether it was the old man who lit the inflammables around him or something else?"
"Therefore, at present, we have at least found the existence of using electrical appliances, so it is temporarily inferred that it is caused by electrical short circuit."
After a pause, fireman Xiao Li said again, "but is it? It's hard for us to judge. If you have any new discoveries, you can also inform us in time."
"All right." Knowing that the site environment is too complex, especially there are too many combustibles on site, Gu Chen also understands what firefighter Xiao Li said and can only thank him again and again.
Before long, the firemen assembled and drove away.
Gu Chen went to the middle of the warehouse.
This warehouse is really different from several other large warehouses. It is a temporary warehouse for storing sundries.
Compared with other large warehouses, this warehouse looks a little narrow, but Gu Chen can find some ashes powder in the ruins and easily move the scorched electric kettle aside.
Seeing this, the middle-aged female worker quickly asked Zhuang Qi, who was in trouble, to help count the items.
As the specific list of the warehouse has always been in Zhuang Qi's hands, Zhuang Qi also hurriedly followed Gu Chen behind, hoping to redeem her damned Bodhisattva's heart by explaining some debris to Gu Chen.
"Officer Gu, this is where the snake skin bag is placed, so the ashes of the snake skin bag are all around."
"Here, here is the place where some wood is put, all the sundries on the railway freight yard..."
Zhuang Qi explained carefully, and Gu Chen listened carefully.
But after a circle, Gu Chen really couldn't find any suspicious clues.
The surrounding area has already been burned in a mess by the fire. Coupled with fire fighting, many places are now particularly humid.
Gu Chen turned and asked Han Xu, "were you there when the body was moved out?"
"No... yes, I was there." Han Xu heard the speech and hurried to Gu Chen.
"What happened to him?" Gu Chen asked.
"Just..." Han Xu looked around and then pointed to a location and said, "just lie here."
"Is this the right place?" Officer Wang pointed to the door and said.
Han Xu nodded silently: "yes, I think I want to escape. I may be blocked by the combustibles in front of me, so I didn't escape successfully. Then I was smoked down by the smoke and finally swallowed up by the fire."
Speaking of this, Han Xu also sighed with some regret.
Lu Weiwei asked in a hoarse voice, "is there a picture of the scene?"
"No... no, but what I said is true. Not only me, but many people at the scene saw the body lying here."
Gu Chen listened to Han Xu's explanation and came to the so-called crime site. Then, Yuan Sasha took the toolbox and handed a bag of white powder to Gu Chen.
According to Han Xu's words, Gu Chen painted the specific location of the old man at that time with powder.
Before long, a human figure lying near the door was clear at a glance.
Gu Chen patted his hands, then took out his mobile phone and photographed the scene.
At this time, maple takakawa, who had packed the body, also went outside and shouted, "Gu Chen, we're ready here. Do you want to go back to the Technology Department of the Municipal Bureau with me?"
"You get in the car first and I'll come right away." Gu Chen also said casually.
After completing the preliminary investigation of the site, Gu Chen called Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong and also explained:
"You stay here and deal with the follow-up work. Now I'll go to the Technology Department of the Municipal Bureau with Gao Chuanfeng to see what's going on with the body?"
"No problem. Leave it to us." Ding Liang also has considerable experience in dealing with this follow-up work, even if he agrees.
Then, everyone pulled up the cordon, and Gu Chen drove to the technical section of the Municipal Bureau with Lu Weiwei, police officer Wang and Yuan Shasha.
……
……
After returning to the technical section of the Municipal Bureau, it was lunchtime. Therefore, Gu Chen and his team also followed takakawa Maple team to enjoy the packed lunch outside the testing room. Only then did they prepare for the final testing of the body.
Takakawa Feng also said with admiration: "I said Gu Chen, thank you for daring to test the body after lunch? You're not afraid to vomit everything you eat in your stomach at noon?"
"What kind of policeman should I be if I'm afraid of dead bodies? I have no problem." Gu Chen said.
Officer Wang also grinned: "I have no problem."
Yuan Sasha was a little nervous and said, "although it looks disgusting, can I stay outside later? Because I'm afraid I can't control it and vomit out and dirty the testing room."
"Ha ha." Listening to Yuan Shasha's words, takakawa Maple was a little proud.
Xin said that some people in the criminal investigation team of Furong Branch still dislike this charred body, otherwise they will lose face.
After all, my two assistants have been vomiting in the bathroom since they came back, and they have no appetite for lunch.
But it's a little unreasonable to say that Gu Chen's criminal investigation team didn't have any special reaction.
Fortunately, Yuan Sasha still can't stand it. Think about it this way, Feng Gaochuan has a much more balanced heart.
Lu Weiwei took out a paper towel and touched her mouth. With a slightly hoarse voice, she said, "although it's a little disgusting, it's not bad to vomit. I'm ok, no problem."
"Luweiwei, what happened to your voice?" Just noticed that Lu Weiwei had not spoken before, and Gao Chuanfeng was also quite curious.
According to the past, when Gu Chen's team came to the technology section of the Municipal Bureau, Lu Weiwei was sure to chatter, but today it was so quiet that maple takakawa felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere?
But where is it? Takakawa Feng couldn't say it again.
As a result, as soon as Lu Weiwei spoke, Gao Chuanfeng immediately understood that there was something wrong with Lu Weiwei's voice.
Lu Weiwei also waved her hand and said helplessly: "I used my voice too much last night. Now my voice is a little dry, but after taking some medicine, I feel... Much better than when I got up early in the morning."
"Over using your voice?" When Lu Weiwei said this, Gao Chuanfeng also said with a smile: "then you should talk less, take some medicine, have a good sleep tonight and get up early tomorrow morning. It is estimated that your throat will recover."
"Let me borrow your auspicious words from takakawa Feng." Lu Weiwei also sighed. She felt that the days when she couldn't speak freely were really hard enough.
Here, because two assistants of takakawa Maple have vomited badly, they even have no appetite for lunch.
Therefore, Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and police officer Wang put on protective equipment and came to the detection platform with Gao Chuanfeng.
In the face of such a charred body, even with a mask, everyone can feel the unpleasant smell.
Seeing that everyone is wearing gloves, takakawa just wanted to ask if everyone is ready? As a result, Gu Chen robbed his lines.
"Are you ready? Let's start when you're ready." Gu Chen said.
Everyone echoed and everyone immediately began to operate.
The difficulty coefficient of detecting charred corpses is doubled compared with that of ordinary corpses.
In particular, many parts of the body, now charred by the fire, will appear very fragile.
Gu Chen can see the corpse more thoroughly with the help of the surgical light on the testing table.
At the moment, the body is already charred, but the burning degree of each part is different.
Generally speaking, if there is a fire in a house or factory, there is almost no example of complete burning unless there are a large number of highly combustible substances in the fire area.
But in today's warehouse, Gu Chen still found some combustibles, such as piles of snake skin bags and some waste wood.
Gu Chen originally thought that since the old man lived in the warehouse, he might be afraid of the cold outside and light some wood in the warehouse for heating.
But think of the warehouse with this structure. It is obviously not advisable to burn a fire for heating.
First of all, the old man lived in the warehouse secretly, and Zhuang Qi specially told him not to be found by other colleagues in the railway freight yard.
So burning a fire to keep warm in the warehouse in the utility room, it is obvious that the light of the fire and the burning white smoke will soon expose their goals.
Moreover, the smoke cannot be removed smoothly when the warehouse is ignited for heating, which is easy to lead to suffocation.
However, none of the these were found when Gu Chen inspected scene of the crime.
After all, if it was burning wood for heating, there would be a pile of wood burning debris at the scene, but Gu Chen didn't find it.
All the burning wood on the site is stacked against the corner.
Even if it was burned by the fire, it was piled up.
Therefore, after eliminating the possible short circuit caused by electrical appliances, Gu Chen ruled out the possibility of the elderly burning a fire for heating.
While checking the charred body of the old man, Gu Chen also quickly shared his thoughts to the public.
After hearing this, officer Wang couldn't help sighing: "if it wasn't caused by electrical short circuit and the fire caused by the old man's own ignition, how did the fire happen?"
"At present, it is not clear." Gu Chen shook his head and sighed while examining the body:
"I checked the scene and found that the old man was crawling. From the state of the old man's death, it should be crawling towards the door in an attempt to escape from the warehouse."
"Yes." Lu Weiwei also sighed and shook her head with a hoarse voice: "the old man may want to escape from the warehouse, but the smoke was too big at that time."
"The old man may be in a state of rest, but suddenly found himself in a sea of fire, but when the old man wanted to escape, he was still surrounded by smoke and couldn't distinguish between East, West, North and south."
Taking a deep breath, Lu Weiwei also shook her head reluctantly: "therefore, he is likely to breathe in too much smoke, resulting in suffocation and death, and then burned alive by the fire."
Said here, Lu Weiwei couldn't help choking.
Looking at a reef corpse on the detection platform in front of her, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but burst into tears in her eyes.
After Gu Chen checked the whole body of the charred corpse, he also looked up at Feng Gaochuan and said, "Feng Gaochuan, the inspection of the whole body is almost done. You can test the carbon monoxide content in blood and tissue."
"I see." Although it is his own territory, takakawa maple is still a little awkward under the command of Gu Chen.
Two frustrated assistants really have to learn more from Gu Chen.
Otherwise, you can operate independently.
Lu Weiwei looked at the charred body and said with a hoarse voice: "brother Gu, the bodies are roasted like this? Can you still extract blood samples?"
"It's OK." Gu Chen paused his hands, turned his head and said to Lu Weiwei:
"Don't underestimate the charred body. In fact, the charred body still has a lot of information to provide."
"For example, including some residues that may be left on the body of the corpse or objects that may not come from the human body itself may provide effective evidence for our investigation."
"Even if the body has been burned into black carbon, the content of carbon monoxide can still be detected from some blood and tissues through today's technology."
"How and where is the blood extracted?" Looking at the charred body in front of her, Lu Weiwei was also full of question marks.
Gu Chen pointed to the heart of the charred corpse and said, "the first autopsy of this charred corpse, if you are lucky, you can still draw some blood samples from the heart."
"After all, the other parts have been charred, so we can only draw some blood from the heart."
Looking at a piece of broken black meat falling on the test bench, Gu Chen then said: "cut some charred meat, and then take blood for the family members to test DNA."
"Er..."
Hearing Gu Chen's words, Lu Weiwei can't imagine any more.
Police officer Wang, on the other side, checked the abdomen of the body for a few times, but said: "they are all charred and their intestines are broken."
"Let me do it." Gu Chen knew a lot and said everything he knew. Gao Chuanfeng directly took out his extraction tool and began to extract the samples.
Gu Chen stepped back to make room for Gao Chuanfeng.
With the successful completion of the extraction operation, maple takakawa also brought the samples to another testing platform and began to test these samples through high-precision instruments and equipment.
And everyone sat on one side for a while.
Before long, Gao Chuanfeng had the result and said to the crowd, "the result has come out."
"How?" Gu Chen looked up and asked him.
"Strange." Gao Chuanfeng was also confused and said slowly, "the test results show that the carbon monoxide content of the old man seems to be lower than normal."
"How could this happen?" Gu Chen heard the speech and immediately stood up and walked to takakawa maple.
Takakawa Feng also took the test data to Gu Chen for reference, and casually said: "it is reasonable that the results of our test, carbon monoxide should be higher than normal."
"That's right." Gu Chen nodded in agreement and said curiously, "but why is this the result?"
"Brother Gu, the carbon monoxide test results are higher than normal. Does that mean that the old man died before the fire?"
After all, Lu Weiwei also knew these aspects of knowledge, so she directly asked Gu Chen.
Gu Chen nodded silently and explained, "elder martial sister Lu is right. Now we have a way to detect the content of carbon monoxide in blood and tissues."
"But if the content of carbon monoxide is very high, it means that the victim has inhaled carbon monoxide, which is the by-product of burning goods. We can know that the victim was still alive when he was burned by the fire."
After a pause, Gu Chen said thoughtfully, "at least... It can mean that the victim has survived for a while."
"But if you died before the fire, the detected carbon monoxide content will not be higher than normal."
Looking back at the charred corpse on the detection table, Gu Chen suddenly came up and said, "to judge whether the dead still had signs of life when they were burned by the fire, the key is to find out the evidence that the victim was still breathing. Fortunately, we still have this cutting-edge equipment to detect."
"That's right." When officer Wang heard the speech, he couldn't help saying, "but at the beginning of last century, there was no such measurement method."
"Generally speaking, to get this result, forensic doctors will look for coal ash and burn marks in the lungs, bronchus and throat."
After a pause, officer Wang added: "however, if there are burns and coal ash in these parts, it means that the victim is still breathing when burned by the fire."
"If you are burned by fire after death, these signs may not be found at all."
"That's right." Takakawa Feng smelled the speech and said with approval: "so I didn't find these things when I was checking the charred body just now."
"Coupled with the detection of carbon monoxide content, it can basically be concluded that the deceased has a high probability of being burned by the fire after he died."
"The problem seems a little complicated." After listening to what everyone said, Lu Weiwei suddenly felt that things seemed far from so simple.
Gu Chen walked back and forth for two times, frowning and saying, "if the victim didn't lose consciousness, but was trapped in the fire, maybe he would leave evidence of trying to escape."
Looking up at the crowd, Gu Chen said, "it's like a scratch on the door panel or a fragment in the palm of your finger."
"Or maybe when he tried to escape, he grabbed off a few nails, which theoretically exist."
"Moreover, we can judge that the victim still had signs of life during the fire by finding coal ash in the lungs, burn marks and nail damage."
"But I've thought about this before at the scene, but I can't find them all, so I can only explain that maybe he died before the fire."
"That's right." Hearing Gu Chen's explanation, Feng Gaochuan reconfirmed the charred body and confirmed Gu Chen's words. He sighed:
"Gu Chen, your guess is right. Now I can conclude that the charred body actually died before it was charred. This can be verified."
"That's strange." Hearing Gao Chuanfeng's words, Lu Weiwei has a hoarse voice and has no good airway:
"But if the old man died before he was burned, did he die naturally or was he murdered to death?"
"If it's the latter, it's murder. The fire..."
"Then the fire may have been deliberately set by the murderer in order to destroy the corpse." Officer Wang also answered.
The voice fell and the scene was suddenly quiet for a few seconds.
Everyone looks at each other. It seems that at this moment, everyone has reached a consensus.
"Damn it, the old man may have been murdered. The murderer deliberately set a fire in order to cover up all this." Gu Chen frowned and felt that the whole event was developing in an uncontrollable direction.
At this moment, he Junchao in the office also called.
Gu Chen took off his gloves, directly clicked hands-free and said, "elder martial brother he, how is your investigation going?"
"According to your request, I searched the monitoring near the railway overpass yesterday and intercepted the front photo of the homeless old man. After big data investigation, I can basically determine the identity of the old man."
"Found it?" After hearing the results from he Junchao, officer Wang was also happy to look out:
"It's much easier to find out who the homeless old man is. At least we can follow the vine and find out the relationship network around the old man and see who is hurting him."
After a pause, officer Wang hurriedly asked, "what's the name of this man, he Junchao? What did he do before?"
"The man's name is..."
He Junchao at the other end of the conversation also said after a short pause of two seconds: "this man's name is... Zhou Wencai, a native of Jiangnan City."
"Moreover, according to my extended information query, there are some amazing findings."
"He Junchao, don't sell off and say it quickly." Lu Weiwei's voice was recovering, and she couldn't help urging her to say.
He Junchao at the other end of the phone laughed twice and said slowly, "don't worry, this man was not good a few years ago. He is a chairman."
"Dong... Chairman? Is this the chairman?" When officer Wang heard what he Junchao said, he frowned and quickly asked:
"Hey, I said he Junchao, are you seriously inquiring? How can this wandering old man be the chairman? Are you mistaken?"
"I won't make a mistake. Although this man is sloppy now, his appearance recognition is still very high. His name is Zhou Wencai. He was the chairman of Wencai Huaxia company before."
"And this man has always been charitable and has done many public welfare activities. He is a great philanthropist. Unfortunately, he didn't last long. Later, the company went bankrupt because of strategic investment mistakes."
"Later, it slowly faded out of the public view, and few people paid more attention to it."
For fear that everyone would not believe it, he Junchao reminded again, "you can search for Zhou Wencai in Jiangnan City or Wencai Huaxia Co., Ltd. you can find this person."
"And the photos and videos of this person who did public welfare a few years ago can be found."
Listening to he Junchao's various explanations, Gu Chen couldn't care too much. He immediately began to use his mobile phone to search and found some reports about Zhou Wencai.
"Found it." Gu Chen lights up his mobile phone in front of everyone: "elder martial brother he is right. This week Wencai is indeed an enterprise boss. He has always been loyal to doing public welfare undertakings before."
"Really?" Lu Weiwei looked down and was shocked and said, "this company is quite large. It was very beautiful a few years ago, but how can it be like this now?"
Seeing some information reports about Zhou Wencai, Lu Weiwei couldn't help feeling that such a good man would fall here?
Gu Chen also frowned and said thoughtfully, "what did Zhou Wencai go through? Why did he change from the chairman of a company to a homeless old man now?"
"That's pretty good." Officer Wang took a deep breath and said, "a big company like this is usually the result of the hard work of these people for a lifetime."
"It can be said that this kind of company is also the epitome of the struggle of these founders for a lifetime."
"But if you think about it, the business empire you have worked hard to build over the years suddenly collapsed overnight."
"Most people can't stand this kind of gap? Especially when it's impossible for people to make a comeback at the end of the year, people with poor psychological tolerance may directly find a rooftop and jump down."
"But Zhou Wencai is OK. At least he's still alive. Maybe... He's just stimulated and has a mental problem."
"But why didn't his family find him?" Gu Chen also questioned.
After all, Zhou Wencai is a native of Jiangnan City, and the company is also in Jiangnan City.
Normally speaking, Zhou Wencai's family should also live in Jiangnan City, but why didn't anyone come to him?
Let such an old man, so down and out on the street, still have to rely on some alms.
This super contrast makes Gu Chen can't believe that all this is true?
Officer Wang tut tut twice and said with a light smile, "maybe this Zhou Wencai has been hiding from his family?"
"We were in the office building of the railway freight yard just now. Didn't the silly girl named... Zhuang Qi also tell us about it?"
"She said she would help Zhou Wencai find his family and take him home. She also wanted to contact our police for help."
"Eh? It seems to have been said." As soon as Lu Weiwei heard it, she immediately reacted.
Yes, Zhuang Qi has explained this situation to you in the monitoring room of the office building of the railway freight yard.
"So." Officer Wang also snapped his fingers and said:
"So in my opinion, Zhou Wencai is hiding from his family and unwilling to go home."
"Otherwise, Zhuang Qi repeatedly wants to help him go home, then why doesn't he go home?"
"Also, Han Xu, the person in charge, has always said that the old man is a guy with a brain problem, but what did Zhuang Qi say?"
"Zhuang Qi said that the old man has no problem with his brain and looks very smart." Lu Weiwei answered.
Officer Wang nodded silently: "isn't that right? Zhou Wencai may have been unable to face his family because of the pressure of bankruptcy, so he chose to run away from home alone."
"As for why his family didn't go to her? Maybe his family knew where he was? And they also observed him secretly. Maybe."
After a pause, officer Wang looked up and asked Gu Chen, "Gu Chen, is what I said reasonable?"
"Yes." Gu Chen nodded silently and echoed, "elder martial brother Wang said it's very possible. Zhou Wencai, his family may not know where he is? Or they may know."
"If you don't come to find Zhou Wencai, it means that Zhou Wencai didn't tell his family where he was going and what he was doing at present. These may not be disclosed to his family."
"And his family may mistakenly think that he just wants to go out and relax."
After thinking about it, Gu Chen said again: "in my opinion, the most important thing at present is to quickly contact Zhou Wencai's family, and then we can follow his family to see if we can find some useful clues?"
"Agree with elder martial brother Gu." Lu Weiwei nodded silently, then said to the phone, "he Junchao, can you ask Zhou Wencai's family to our police station?"
"Well... I'll try. If I make an appointment, I'll let you know."
"That's OK."
After simple communication on the phone, both parties hung up the phone.
At this moment, everyone looks at each other and seems to feel that things are getting more and more strange.
The first is the identity of the elderly. Zhou Wencai, who is the chairman of a company and a public welfare person, often does public welfare activities in Jiangnan City to give back to the society.
Unfortunately, Zhou Wencai's "Wencai Huaxia Co., Ltd." went bankrupt a few years ago because of some debt and investment problems.
After that, Zhou Wen disappeared.
But when Zhou Wencai was found again, he was buried in the sea of fire, which made people feel sad.
But what's more incredible is that Zhou Wencai was swallowed up by the fire after his death.
Therefore, it has always been believed that the fire is really strange. It seems that someone set fire to the whole warehouse after murdering Zhou Wencai, so as to destroy the corpse.
But now, does the killer exist? The question of who the murderer will be suddenly put on the table.
Therefore, everyone feels that only by finding Zhou Wencai's family can they learn more about Zhou Wencai before and after his bankruptcy.
Everyone here is still doing the final test on Zhou Wencai's charred body, and he Junchao's phone calls again.
Gu Chen calls hands-free again
"Gu Chen, Zhou Wencai's family has been contacted. It's his lover and daughter. I have made an appointment with them. They are all out of town, but not far away. They will come back today."
"What time do you want to come over?" Gu Chen asked.
"Around 7:30 p.m., is that ok?" He Junchao said on the phone.
Gu Chen said, "then make an appointment until 7:30 pm. We're almost over here. Come back right away."
The two men communicated with each other and both hung up.

Monitoring room.Hearing Zhuang Qi's various explanations, Gu Chen probably knew why the old man appeared in the warehouse of the railway freight yard.Together, Zhuang Qi cut the barbed wire and let the old man in.Han Xu shook his head and pointed to Zhuang Qi's bad breath: "Zhuang Qi, Zhuang Qi, I really don't know what to say about you? You not only let outsiders in, but also cut off the barbed wire? You...""Mr. Han calmed down. Xiaozhuang also pitied the old man. He was afraid that the old man would freeze to death." Seeing that Han Xu was angry, the middle-aged female worker also hurried to persuade him.To say that all these things are caused by Zhuang Qi.Now the fire has swallowed up the warehouse, and the old man has been burned into coke. Everything seems to have been doomed.After Gu Chen put all this on record, he also asked Zhuang Qi, "you said the old man just came to live at night. Does he still stay near the railway overpass during the day?""Well, yes, he usually stays there during the day and moves occasionally, but the range of activities is also nearby." After all, Zhuang Qi knew the scope of the old man's activities, so when Gu Chen asked, she explained it truthfully."Very good." Gu Chen nodded silently and asked, "if so, the old man usually runs to the warehouse to live in the dead of night, and there is no problem with the electric kettle you give him.""Then the cause of the fire seems to have to be investigated separately?""Er..." Zhuang Qi was a little embarrassed, but she told the truth: "Comrade police, I can guarantee that my electric kettle has no problem and will not cause a fire at all.""Don't be in such a hurry." Officer Wang interrupted Zhuang Qi and explained, "as for whether the fire was caused by electrical appliances, we have to hand it over to the fire brigade for investigation.""But this dead old man, you have to help me improve the information.""Ah?" Hearing what officer Wang said, Zhuang Qi didn't seem to understand."Don't understand?" Officer Wang raised his eyebrows and asked her.Zhuang Qi shook her head: "I don't know the old man. How can I help you improve your information?""Did you see him yesterday?" Lu Weiwei asked hoarsely.Zhuang Qi thought for a few seconds, then nodded and said, "I saw him over the railway overpass at noon yesterday. He has been wandering nearby..."Zhuang Qi is also a group of panic now.You know, it's a big deal that the warehouse in the open-air freight yard was burned.And the old man who helped himself is now burned into coke, which makes Zhuang Qi a little sad.Originally, I only wanted to help the old man, use the warmth of the warehouse to protect him and help him through the cold.But I didn't expect that a fire today would burn all this.The death of the old man is also a great blow to Zhuang Qi.At the moment, Zhuang Qi told Gu Chen everything about the old man, and her eyes gradually turned red.I feel like I'm sobbing.After Gu Chen's records were complete, Zhuang Qi could no longer restrain her tears and directly covered her face and began to cry.For a moment, the atmosphere in the whole office was awkward.Han Xu also had a bad way: "I didn't say anything about you? Why are you still crying?""I hurt him. I shouldn't have been a Bodhisattva. It's all my fault to let him live in the warehouse. If it weren't for me, he wouldn't die. Sobbing..."Zhuang Qi felt that she was very wronged at the moment. Thinking about the charred body of the old man, she immediately cried more and more.The middle-aged female worker quickly hugged Zhuang Qi, patted her back and comforted, "it's not all your fault. How did the fire start? We don't know yet, and you don't have to blame yourself too much.""If there are police comrades, don't be sad, ah..."On the other end, Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and police officer Wang also walked out of the monitoring room under the leadership of Han Xu.Han Xu also said with a helpless wry smile: "Comrade police, I'm really sorry. In fact, we didn't know about the old man before.""Unexpectedly, it was the new employee of our company who let the old man in without authorization, which led to this great disaster.""Looking back, I want to make a self-examination and strengthen supervision in the future."Seeing Gu Chen walking straight out of the office building, but he didn't answer, Han Xu chased Gu Chen for a few steps and said, "Comrade police, I don't know anything about this. It really has nothing to do with me.""I know, but you have regulatory responsibility." Gu Chen just casually said that he came to the place of the incident again.At this moment, Huang Zunlong and Ding Liang have also come to the scene and separated the scene with a cordon.Maple takakawa of the Technology Department of the Municipal Bureau has also arranged for people to put the charred body into a transparent evidence bag.Seeing Gu Chen's several people just came over and followed by a chirping fat man, Gao Chuanfeng directly asked, "Gu Chen, what's the situation with this man? Burning like this?""A homeless old man, who has not been identified yet." Gu Chen came over and said."I haven't confirmed my identity yet?" Feng takakawa heard the speech and said, "what shall we do now? Take it back to the Technology Department of the Municipal Bureau?""Yes." Gu Chen nodded silently and explained, "first put the body into the body bag and take it back to the technical department of the Municipal Bureau for testing. I will go with you.""All right." It feels that the treatment of this charred body is much more complicated than the treatment of ordinary bodies.Gao Chuanfeng had no choice but to harden his head and ask two assistants to help transport the body.To say that the charred body is troublesome enough to carry, we must ensure that we handle it with care.Some falling debris even needs to be collected.Subsequently, Gu Chen took Lu Weiwei, police officer Wang and Yuan Shasha to the scene of the crime, that is, the charred warehouse.At this moment, white smoke is still emitting from all corners of the warehouse, and all kinds of unpleasant smells are coming to my face.After fireman Xiao Li checked the last open fire, he came out and said to Gu Chen, "Gu Chen, we have to go. I'll give it to you here.""Thank you." Gu Chen thanked and then asked, "Xiao Li, how do you think the fire was caused?""This..." firefighter Xiao Li was stunned and said faintly: "to tell the truth, I'm not easy to judge. After all, there are too many sundries on the scene.""There are also a lot of wood and fiber, such as snake skin bags, which are particularly easy to burn, and I won't say anything about other sundries.""Anyway, we found a burnt electric kettle at the scene. I think it should be caused by the improper use of electrical appliances. Generally, this kind of fire is the case.""But the quality of this electric kettle is very good, and it will automatically cut off power when there is no water or insufficient water. How can it be a fire caused by electrical appliances?"Lu Weiwei just heard Zhuang Qi's explanation and immediately felt that what Zhuang Qi said was reasonable.But fireman Xiao Li smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know. Generally speaking, many fires are caused by the improper use of electrical appliances.""Some are short circuited in the process of use, some are spontaneous combustion on the spot, and the owners of many electrical appliances can see it.""So it's convenient to investigate, but here..."Fireman Xiao Li looked around and said helplessly, "but it's burned like this, and many things are flammable.""And now we don't know whether it was the old man who lit the inflammables around him or something else?""Therefore, at present, we have at least found the existence of using electrical appliances, so it is temporarily inferred that it is caused by electrical short circuit."After a pause, fireman Xiao Li said again, "but is it? It's hard for us to judge. If you have any new discoveries, you can also inform us in time.""All right." Knowing that the site environment is too complex, especially there are too many combustibles on site, Gu Chen also understands what firefighter Xiao Li said and can only thank him again and again.Before long, the firemen assembled and drove away.Gu Chen went to the middle of the warehouse.This warehouse is really different from several other large warehouses. It is a temporary warehouse for storing sundries.Compared with other large warehouses, this warehouse looks a little narrow, but Gu Chen can find some ashes powder in the ruins and easily move the scorched electric kettle aside.Seeing this, the middle-aged female worker quickly asked Zhuang Qi, who was in trouble, to help count the items.As the specific list of the warehouse has always been in Zhuang Qi's hands, Zhuang Qi also hurriedly followed Gu Chen behind, hoping to redeem her damned Bodhisattva's heart by explaining some debris to Gu Chen."Officer Gu, this is where the snake skin bag is placed, so the ashes of the snake skin bag are all around.""Here, here is the place where some wood is put, all the sundries on the railway freight yard..."Zhuang Qi explained carefully, and Gu Chen listened carefully.But after a circle, Gu Chen really couldn't find any suspicious clues.The surrounding area has already been burned in a mess by the fire. Coupled with fire fighting, many places are now particularly humid.Gu Chen turned and asked Han Xu, "were you there when the body was moved out?""No... yes, I was there." Han Xu heard the speech and hurried to Gu Chen."What happened to him?" Gu Chen asked."Just..." Han Xu looked around and then pointed to a location and said, "just lie here.""Is this the right place?" Officer Wang pointed to the door and said.Han Xu nodded silently: "yes, I think I want to escape. I may be blocked by the combustibles in front of me, so I didn't escape successfully. Then I was smoked down by the smoke and finally swallowed up by the fire."Speaking of this, Han Xu also sighed with some regret.Lu Weiwei asked in a hoarse voice, "is there a picture of the scene?""No... no, but what I said is true. Not only me, but many people at the scene saw the body lying here."Gu Chen listened to Han Xu's explanation and came to the so-called crime site. Then, Yuan Sasha took the toolbox and handed a bag of white powder to Gu Chen.According to Han Xu's words, Gu Chen painted the specific location of the old man at that time with powder.Before long, a human figure lying near the door was clear at a glance.Gu Chen patted his hands, then took out his mobile phone and photographed the scene.At this time, maple takakawa, who had packed the body, also went outside and shouted, "Gu Chen, we're ready here. Do you want to go back to the Technology Department of the Municipal Bureau with me?""You get in the car first and I'll come right away." Gu Chen also said casually.After completing the preliminary investigation of the site, Gu Chen called Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong and also explained:"You stay here and deal with the follow-up work. Now I'll go to the Technology Department of the Municipal Bureau with Gao Chuanfeng to see what's going on with the body?""No problem. Leave it to us." Ding Liang also has considerable experience in dealing with this follow-up work, even if he agrees.Then, everyone pulled up the cordon, and Gu Chen drove to the technical section of the Municipal Bureau with Lu Weiwei, police officer Wang and Yuan Shasha.After returning to the technical section of the Municipal Bureau, it was lunchtime. Therefore, Gu Chen and his team also followed takakawa Maple team to enjoy the packed lunch outside the testing room. Only then did they prepare for the final testing of the body.Takakawa Feng also said with admiration: "I said Gu Chen, thank you for daring to test the body after lunch? You're not afraid to vomit everything you eat in your stomach at noon?""What kind of policeman should I be if I'm afraid of dead bodies? I have no problem." Gu Chen said.Officer Wang also grinned: "I have no problem."Yuan Sasha was a little nervous and said, "although it looks disgusting, can I stay outside later? Because I'm afraid I can't control it and vomit out and dirty the testing room.""Ha ha." Listening to Yuan Shasha's words, takakawa Maple was a little proud.Xin said that some people in the criminal investigation team of Furong Branch still dislike this charred body, otherwise they will lose face.After all, my two assistants have been vomiting in the bathroom since they came back, and they have no appetite for lunch.But it's a little unreasonable to say that Gu Chen's criminal investigation team didn't have any special reaction.Fortunately, Yuan Sasha still can't stand it. Think about it this way, Feng Gaochuan has a much more balanced heart.Lu Weiwei took out a paper towel and touched her mouth. With a slightly hoarse voice, she said, "although it's a little disgusting, it's not bad to vomit. I'm ok, no problem.""Luweiwei, what happened to your voice?" Just noticed that Lu Weiwei had not spoken before, and Gao Chuanfeng was also quite curious.According to the past, when Gu Chen's team came to the technology section of the Municipal Bureau, Lu Weiwei was sure to chatter, but today it was so quiet that maple takakawa felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere?But where is it? Takakawa Feng couldn't say it again.As a result, as soon as Lu Weiwei spoke, Gao Chuanfeng immediately understood that there was something wrong with Lu Weiwei's voice.Lu Weiwei also waved her hand and said helplessly: "I used my voice too much last night. Now my voice is a little dry, but after taking some medicine, I feel... Much better than when I got up early in the morning.""Over using your voice?" When Lu Weiwei said this, Gao Chuanfeng also said with a smile: "then you should talk less, take some medicine, have a good sleep tonight and get up early tomorrow morning. It is estimated that your throat will recover.""Let me borrow your auspicious words from takakawa Feng." Lu Weiwei also sighed. She felt that the days when she couldn't speak freely were really hard enough.Here, because two assistants of takakawa Maple have vomited badly, they even have no appetite for lunch.Therefore, Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and police officer Wang put on protective equipment and came to the detection platform with Gao Chuanfeng.In the face of such a charred body, even with a mask, everyone can feel the unpleasant smell.Seeing that everyone is wearing gloves, takakawa just wanted to ask if everyone is ready? As a result, Gu Chen robbed his lines."Are you ready? Let's start when you're ready." Gu Chen said.Everyone echoed and everyone immediately began to operate.The difficulty coefficient of detecting charred corpses is doubled compared with that of ordinary corpses.In particular, many parts of the body, now charred by the fire, will appear very fragile.Gu Chen can see the corpse more thoroughly with the help of the surgical light on the testing table.At the moment, the body is already charred, but the burning degree of each part is different.Generally speaking, if there is a fire in a house or factory, there is almost no example of complete burning unless there are a large number of highly combustible substances in the fire area.But in today's warehouse, Gu Chen still found some combustibles, such as piles of snake skin bags and some waste wood.Gu Chen originally thought that since the old man lived in the warehouse, he might be afraid of the cold outside and light some wood in the warehouse for heating.But think of the warehouse with this structure. It is obviously not advisable to burn a fire for heating.First of all, the old man lived in the warehouse secretly, and Zhuang Qi specially told him not to be found by other colleagues in the railway freight yard.So burning a fire to keep warm in the warehouse in the utility room, it is obvious that the light of the fire and the burning white smoke will soon expose their goals.Moreover, the smoke cannot be removed smoothly when the warehouse is ignited for heating, which is easy to lead to suffocation.However, none of the these were found when Gu Chen inspected scene of the crime.After all, if it was burning wood for heating, there would be a pile of wood burning debris at the scene, but Gu Chen didn't find it.All the burning wood on the site is stacked against the corner.Even if it was burned by the fire, it was piled up.Therefore, after eliminating the possible short circuit caused by electrical appliances, Gu Chen ruled out the possibility of the elderly burning a fire for heating.While checking the charred body of the old man, Gu Chen also quickly shared his thoughts to the public.After hearing this, officer Wang couldn't help sighing: "if it wasn't caused by electrical short circuit and the fire caused by the old man's own ignition, how did the fire happen?""At present, it is not clear." Gu Chen shook his head and sighed while examining the body:"I checked the scene and found that the old man was crawling. From the state of the old man's death, it should be crawling towards the door in an attempt to escape from the warehouse.""Yes." Lu Weiwei also sighed and shook her head with a hoarse voice: "the old man may want to escape from the warehouse, but the smoke was too big at that time.""The old man may be in a state of rest, but suddenly found himself in a sea of fire, but when the old man wanted to escape, he was still surrounded by smoke and couldn't distinguish between East, West, North and south."Taking a deep breath, Lu Weiwei also shook her head reluctantly: "therefore, he is likely to breathe in too much smoke, resulting in suffocation and death, and then burned alive by the fire."Said here, Lu Weiwei couldn't help choking.Looking at a reef corpse on the detection platform in front of her, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but burst into tears in her eyes.After Gu Chen checked the whole body of the charred corpse, he also looked up at Feng Gaochuan and said, "Feng Gaochuan, the inspection of the whole body is almost done. You can test the carbon monoxide content in blood and tissue.""I see." Although it is his own territory, takakawa maple is still a little awkward under the command of Gu Chen.Two frustrated assistants really have to learn more from Gu Chen.Otherwise, you can operate independently.Lu Weiwei looked at the charred body and said with a hoarse voice: "brother Gu, the bodies are roasted like this? Can you still extract blood samples?""It's OK." Gu Chen paused his hands, turned his head and said to Lu Weiwei:"Don't underestimate the charred body. In fact, the charred body still has a lot of information to provide.""For example, including some residues that may be left on the body of the corpse or objects that may not come from the human body itself may provide effective evidence for our investigation.""Even if the body has been burned into black carbon, the content of carbon monoxide can still be detected from some blood and tissues through today's technology.""How and where is the blood extracted?" Looking at the charred body in front of her, Lu Weiwei was also full of question marks.Gu Chen pointed to the heart of the charred corpse and said, "the first autopsy of this charred corpse, if you are lucky, you can still draw some blood samples from the heart.""After all, the other parts have been charred, so we can only draw some blood from the heart."Looking at a piece of broken black meat falling on the test bench, Gu Chen then said: "cut some charred meat, and then take blood for the family members to test DNA.""Er..."Hearing Gu Chen's words, Lu Weiwei can't imagine any more.Police officer Wang, on the other side, checked the abdomen of the body for a few times, but said: "they are all charred and their intestines are broken.""Let me do it." Gu Chen knew a lot and said everything he knew. Gao Chuanfeng directly took out his extraction tool and began to extract the samples.Gu Chen stepped back to make room for Gao Chuanfeng.With the successful completion of the extraction operation, maple takakawa also brought the samples to another testing platform and began to test these samples through high-precision instruments and equipment.And everyone sat on one side for a while.Before long, Gao Chuanfeng had the result and said to the crowd, "the result has come out.""How?" Gu Chen looked up and asked him."Strange." Gao Chuanfeng was also confused and said slowly, "the test results show that the carbon monoxide content of the old man seems to be lower than normal.""How could this happen?" Gu Chen heard the speech and immediately stood up and walked to takakawa maple.Takakawa Feng also took the test data to Gu Chen for reference, and casually said: "it is reasonable that the results of our test, carbon monoxide should be higher than normal.""That's right." Gu Chen nodded in agreement and said curiously, "but why is this the result?""Brother Gu, the carbon monoxide test results are higher than normal. Does that mean that the old man died before the fire?"After all, Lu Weiwei also knew these aspects of knowledge, so she directly asked Gu Chen.Gu Chen nodded silently and explained, "elder martial sister Lu is right. Now we have a way to detect the content of carbon monoxide in blood and tissues.""But if the content of carbon monoxide is very high, it means that the victim has inhaled carbon monoxide, which is the by-product of burning goods. We can know that the victim was still alive when he was burned by the fire."After a pause, Gu Chen said thoughtfully, "at least... It can mean that the victim has survived for a while.""But if you died before the fire, the detected carbon monoxide content will not be higher than normal."Looking back at the charred corpse on the detection table, Gu Chen suddenly came up and said, "to judge whether the dead still had signs of life when they were burned by the fire, the key is to find out the evidence that the victim was still breathing. Fortunately, we still have this cutting-edge equipment to detect.""That's right." When officer Wang heard the speech, he couldn't help saying, "but at the beginning of last century, there was no such measurement method.""Generally speaking, to get this result, forensic doctors will look for coal ash and burn marks in the lungs, bronchus and throat."After a pause, officer Wang added: "however, if there are burns and coal ash in these parts, it means that the victim is still breathing when burned by the fire.""If you are burned by fire after death, these signs may not be found at all.""That's right." Takakawa Feng smelled the speech and said with approval: "so I didn't find these things when I was checking the charred body just now.""Coupled with the detection of carbon monoxide content, it can basically be concluded that the deceased has a high probability of being burned by the fire after he died.""The problem seems a little complicated." After listening to what everyone said, Lu Weiwei suddenly felt that things seemed far from so simple.Gu Chen walked back and forth for two times, frowning and saying, "if the victim didn't lose consciousness, but was trapped in the fire, maybe he would leave evidence of trying to escape."Looking up at the crowd, Gu Chen said, "it's like a scratch on the door panel or a fragment in the palm of your finger.""Or maybe when he tried to escape, he grabbed off a few nails, which theoretically exist.""Moreover, we can judge that the victim still had signs of life during the fire by finding coal ash in the lungs, burn marks and nail damage.""But I've thought about this before at the scene, but I can't find them all, so I can only explain that maybe he died before the fire.""That's right." Hearing Gu Chen's explanation, Feng Gaochuan reconfirmed the charred body and confirmed Gu Chen's words. He sighed:"Gu Chen, your guess is right. Now I can conclude that the charred body actually died before it was charred. This can be verified.""That's strange." Hearing Gao Chuanfeng's words, Lu Weiwei has a hoarse voice and has no good airway:"But if the old man died before he was burned, did he die naturally or was he murdered to death?""If it's the latter, it's murder. The fire...""Then the fire may have been deliberately set by the murderer in order to destroy the corpse." Officer Wang also answered.The voice fell and the scene was suddenly quiet for a few seconds.Everyone looks at each other. It seems that at this moment, everyone has reached a consensus."Damn it, the old man may have been murdered. The murderer deliberately set a fire in order to cover up all this." Gu Chen frowned and felt that the whole event was developing in an uncontrollable direction.At this moment, he Junchao in the office also called.Gu Chen took off his gloves, directly clicked hands-free and said, "elder martial brother he, how is your investigation going?""According to your request, I searched the monitoring near the railway overpass yesterday and intercepted the front photo of the homeless old man. After big data investigation, I can basically determine the identity of the old man.""Found it?" After hearing the results from he Junchao, officer Wang was also happy to look out:"It's much easier to find out who the homeless old man is. At least we can follow the vine and find out the relationship network around the old man and see who is hurting him."After a pause, officer Wang hurriedly asked, "what's the name of this man, he Junchao? What did he do before?""The man's name is..."He Junchao at the other end of the conversation also said after a short pause of two seconds: "this man's name is... Zhou Wencai, a native of Jiangnan City.""Moreover, according to my extended information query, there are some amazing findings.""He Junchao, don't sell off and say it quickly." Lu Weiwei's voice was recovering, and she couldn't help urging her to say.He Junchao at the other end of the phone laughed twice and said slowly, "don't worry, this man was not good a few years ago. He is a chairman.""Dong... Chairman? Is this the chairman?" When officer Wang heard what he Junchao said, he frowned and quickly asked:"Hey, I said he Junchao, are you seriously inquiring? How can this wandering old man be the chairman? Are you mistaken?""I won't make a mistake. Although this man is sloppy now, his appearance recognition is still very high. His name is Zhou Wencai. He was the chairman of Wencai Huaxia company before.""And this man has always been charitable and has done many public welfare activities. He is a great philanthropist. Unfortunately, he didn't last long. Later, the company went bankrupt because of strategic investment mistakes.""Later, it slowly faded out of the public view, and few people paid more attention to it."For fear that everyone would not believe it, he Junchao reminded again, "you can search for Zhou Wencai in Jiangnan City or Wencai Huaxia Co., Ltd. you can find this person.""And the photos and videos of this person who did public welfare a few years ago can be found."Listening to he Junchao's various explanations, Gu Chen couldn't care too much. He immediately began to use his mobile phone to search and found some reports about Zhou Wencai."Found it." Gu Chen lights up his mobile phone in front of everyone: "elder martial brother he is right. This week Wencai is indeed an enterprise boss. He has always been loyal to doing public welfare undertakings before.""Really?" Lu Weiwei looked down and was shocked and said, "this company is quite large. It was very beautiful a few years ago, but how can it be like this now?"Seeing some information reports about Zhou Wencai, Lu Weiwei couldn't help feeling that such a good man would fall here?Gu Chen also frowned and said thoughtfully, "what did Zhou Wencai go through? Why did he change from the chairman of a company to a homeless old man now?""That's pretty good." Officer Wang took a deep breath and said, "a big company like this is usually the result of the hard work of these people for a lifetime.""It can be said that this kind of company is also the epitome of the struggle of these founders for a lifetime.""But if you think about it, the business empire you have worked hard to build over the years suddenly collapsed overnight.""Most people can't stand this kind of gap? Especially when it's impossible for people to make a comeback at the end of the year, people with poor psychological tolerance may directly find a rooftop and jump down.""But Zhou Wencai is OK. At least he's still alive. Maybe... He's just stimulated and has a mental problem.""But why didn't his family find him?" Gu Chen also questioned.After all, Zhou Wencai is a native of Jiangnan City, and the company is also in Jiangnan City.Normally speaking, Zhou Wencai's family should also live in Jiangnan City, but why didn't anyone come to him?Let such an old man, so down and out on the street, still have to rely on some alms.This super contrast makes Gu Chen can't believe that all this is true?Officer Wang tut tut twice and said with a light smile, "maybe this Zhou Wencai has been hiding from his family?""We were in the office building of the railway freight yard just now. Didn't the silly girl named... Zhuang Qi also tell us about it?""She said she would help Zhou Wencai find his family and take him home. She also wanted to contact our police for help.""Eh? It seems to have been said." As soon as Lu Weiwei heard it, she immediately reacted.Yes, Zhuang Qi has explained this situation to you in the monitoring room of the office building of the railway freight yard."So." Officer Wang also snapped his fingers and said:"So in my opinion, Zhou Wencai is hiding from his family and unwilling to go home.""Otherwise, Zhuang Qi repeatedly wants to help him go home, then why doesn't he go home?""Also, Han Xu, the person in charge, has always said that the old man is a guy with a brain problem, but what did Zhuang Qi say?""Zhuang Qi said that the old man has no problem with his brain and looks very smart." Lu Weiwei answered.Officer Wang nodded silently: "isn't that right? Zhou Wencai may have been unable to face his family because of the pressure of bankruptcy, so he chose to run away from home alone.""As for why his family didn't go to her? Maybe his family knew where he was? And they also observed him secretly. Maybe."After a pause, officer Wang looked up and asked Gu Chen, "Gu Chen, is what I said reasonable?""Yes." Gu Chen nodded silently and echoed, "elder martial brother Wang said it's very possible. Zhou Wencai, his family may not know where he is? Or they may know.""If you don't come to find Zhou Wencai, it means that Zhou Wencai didn't tell his family where he was going and what he was doing at present. These may not be disclosed to his family.""And his family may mistakenly think that he just wants to go out and relax."After thinking about it, Gu Chen said again: "in my opinion, the most important thing at present is to quickly contact Zhou Wencai's family, and then we can follow his family to see if we can find some useful clues?""Agree with elder martial brother Gu." Lu Weiwei nodded silently, then said to the phone, "he Junchao, can you ask Zhou Wencai's family to our police station?""Well... I'll try. If I make an appointment, I'll let you know.""That's OK."After simple communication on the phone, both parties hung up the phone.At this moment, everyone looks at each other and seems to feel that things are getting more and more strange.The first is the identity of the elderly. Zhou Wencai, who is the chairman of a company and a public welfare person, often does public welfare activities in Jiangnan City to give back to the society.Unfortunately, Zhou Wencai's "Wencai Huaxia Co., Ltd." went bankrupt a few years ago because of some debt and investment problems.After that, Zhou Wen disappeared.But when Zhou Wencai was found again, he was buried in the sea of fire, which made people feel sad.But what's more incredible is that Zhou Wencai was swallowed up by the fire after his death.Therefore, it has always been believed that the fire is really strange. It seems that someone set fire to the whole warehouse after murdering Zhou Wencai, so as to destroy the corpse.But now, does the killer exist? The question of who the murderer will be suddenly put on the table.Therefore, everyone feels that only by finding Zhou Wencai's family can they learn more about Zhou Wencai before and after his bankruptcy.Everyone here is still doing the final test on Zhou Wencai's charred body, and he Junchao's phone calls again.Gu Chen calls hands-free again"Gu Chen, Zhou Wencai's family has been contacted. It's his lover and daughter. I have made an appointment with them. They are all out of town, but not far away. They will come back today.""What time do you want to come over?" Gu Chen asked."Around 7:30 p.m., is that ok?" He Junchao said on the phone.Gu Chen said, "then make an appointment until 7:30 pm. We're almost over here. Come back right away."The two men communicated with each other and both hung up.You can read the novel online free at novelhall. com
