"No...it's not that you wait a little longer." Feeling a bit confused, Gao Chuanfeng repeated it again: "I told you a good news, but then you want to tell me a bad news? Gu Chen, you want revenge what?"
"Don't talk about whether it's useful or not. There was an accident at the training ground of the Traversing Machine Racing Competition. I'm going to the scene right away. Hurry up too."
Gu Chen took a deep breath, trying to adjust his breathing rhythm, and then said: "I'll send you the address right away, that's all for now, see you at the place where the incident happened."
"What?" After hearing Gu Chen's words, Gao Chuanfeng became even more confused: "An accident happened again?"
...
...
3:50 p.m.
The old site of the abandoned steel factory in the west of the city, at this moment, the surroundings are already full of discussions.
According to Gu Chen's intention, Liu Jingru has already arranged staff to protect the scene.
But it is difficult for a weak girl to command these big and three thick guys. Many people agree to it on the surface, but they walk around at will.
This brings great trouble to the protection site.
So Liu Jingru could only find an on-site staff member to block the way out.
On the other hand, he stayed near the corpse, stopped everyone from approaching, and prevented everyone from approaching the corpse.
But seeing such a tragic scene at close range, Liu Jingru was also terrified.
He could only turn his back to the corpse, trying not to look at the miserable scene.
Fortunately, at this moment, Gu Chen had already driven a police car, and brought Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha to the scene.
After getting off the car, Yuan Shasha took out the cordon and wrapped the exit of the scene to prevent everyone from leaving the scene.
And Gu Chen took Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang, and according to the guidance of the crowd, they walked all the way to a narrow path deep in the abandoned steel factory.
At this moment, Liu Jingru was still standing there blankly, her legs were trembling, and she seemed to be unable to hold on any longer.
The moment she saw Gu Chen and the others coming, she breathed a sigh of relief and hurried towards them.
"Senior Gu Chen." Liu Jingru said out of breath, feeling extremely nervous.
Gu Chen glanced behind Liu Jingru, only to find that a man wearing a work vest was lying on the ground at the moment, and there was a bloody smell around him.
At this moment, Gu Chen didn't care too much, and hurried over in small steps.
Followed by Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang, the three of them surrounded the corpse familiarly.
Although it was not the first time for everyone to see the corpse, the tragic scene at the scene still made everyone a little sick.
"Is this brain smashed like this? Isn't it too miserable?" Although Lu Weiwei was wearing a mask, she subconsciously covered her mouth and nose.
Police officer Wang looked up at the surrounding environment, and couldn't help complaining: "This guy is unlucky enough, how could an accident happen in this place?"
Gu Chen didn't speak, and at the same time that Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang were inspecting the body, Gu Chen immediately began to observe the surrounding environment.
It is in a narrow passage, and on both sides are various iron frame buildings with strange structures, all of which are about 20 meters high.
On both sides of this narrow concrete passage, all kinds of weeds have already grown, and because few people walk around, the surrounding weeds are also quite lush.
It has already spread from the roadside area to the middle area of the cement trail.
Therefore, the concrete path, which was originally the width of a one-way street, now only has a distance of about one meter in the middle, which can be barely passed.
The surrounding sides have long been covered with various weeds.
"How did this guy come to such a place?" Gu Chen was a little puzzled, turned to look at Liu Jingru who was still trembling, and asked her:
"Liu Jingru."
"Ah?" Liu Jingru's body trembled, and only then did she react from the sluggish state just now, and quickly stepped forward to ask Gu Chen: "Why... what's wrong, senior Gu Chen?"
"Why did this person appear here?" Gu Chen asked her.
"Oh, it's because you need to be familiar with the venue." Liu Jingru took a deep breath, trying to calm down, and quickly replied to Gu Chen.
"Is this the so-called third competition venue?" At this moment, Officer Wang also walked over from the corpse.
Liu Jingru nodded fiercely: "Well, this is the final venue of the Jiangnan City sub-station of this FPV time-traveling machine racing competition, the abandoned steel factory."
"Here, the final winner of the competition will be determined. Our organizer has only completed the layout of this venue in the past few days. Originally, we wanted you to come to train at night."
Speaking of this, Liu Jingru suddenly remembered how she was called to the Furong branch just now, and was interrogated one by one by everyone, and she felt embarrassed for a while.
"So, the deceased came to this narrow passage for the purpose of surveying the site, but was accidentally crushed to death by a falling object, right?" Gu Chen looked around and asked.
Liu Jingru nodded silently: "Maybe so."
"What was the object that hit the deceased?" Gu Chen said.
Liu Jingru looked around, then pointed to a steel bar in the lawn and said, "This is it?"
After the words fell, Gu Chen and the others looked at the lawn together.
Gu Chen hurried up a few steps, squatted down, and picked up the steel bar beside him with his white-gloved hands.
But when he lifted it up, Gu Chen could clearly feel the weight of the steel bar, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "This steel bar is not light, but how could it fall from a high altitude?"
"I don't know about this. It may be an abandoned steel factory. Many parts are already aging, right? The steel may have been welded on it before, but after the wind and rain, it has some signs of falling off."
After all, Liu Jingru didn't know the specific situation very well, so she could only explain it casually based on her own imagination.
Gu Chen couldn't help shaking his head, and hurriedly reminded: "Senior Sister Lu, Senior Brother Wang, and Jingru, all of you, be careful and pay attention to the falling objects on your heads."
"Maybe this steel bar was the first one to fall, but it wasn't the last one."
"That's right, Liu Jingru, you'd better get out of here quickly and stand outside in a safe area." Officer Wang was reminded, and hurriedly urged Liu Jingru to leave the incident area as soon as possible.
Liu Jingru nodded silently, and quickly left the range with small steps.
At this moment, Lu Weiwei also took out her mobile phone and hurriedly took pictures around the deceased to collect evidence.
After a burst of full-angle shooting, Lu Weiwei reminded Gu Chen: "Junior Brother Gu, do me a favor. Position the corpse and move it around. I want to see his face clearly."
"No problem." Hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Gu Chen took out a white paintbrush from the portable toolbox, and began to trace along the outline of the deceased's death area with the white paintbrush.
After it was finished, he and Police Officer Wang carefully turned the body over, preparing for Lu Weiwei to take a set of frontal photos.
But at the moment when Gu Chen turned the corpse from the prostrate state to the supine state, Gu Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly found that this person seemed to have known him before.
"What? You know him?" Seeing Gu Chen's surprised face, Lu Weiwei asked him curiously.
"That's right, I did meet this logistics support person, he was at the hotel where we were staying." After turning the corpse over, Gu Chen also stood up straight, feeling a wave of thought and fear.
Lu Weiwei quickly pointed the phone lens at the screen, quickly took a few frontal photos, then raised her head, and continued to ask Gu Chen:
"But why don't I have an impression?"
"He has an injury on his leg, and he walks with a limp." Gu Chen continued to remind.
Police officer Wang suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "So it's him? I saw him before when I was having breakfast in the hotel restaurant."
"I remember it too." Hearing Officer Wang's words, Lu Weiwei also seemed to have an impression.
When everyone was staying at the hotel for breakfast, these people would often eat at the hotel.
At that time, among the personnel of the Technical Support Department, Lu Weiwei did notice a man walking with a limp, so she just took a second look.
But now I didn't expect that the man at that time was still lying on the ground at this moment, his brain was cracked, and the scene was very miserable.
"There seems to be something wrong with this person." Gu Chen didn't know how to explain it, so he couldn't help but mutter.
Lu Weiwei raised her head and asked, "Which problem do you mean?"
"The eyes, especially the eyes that look at me." Gu Chen didn't hide it. After all, the lame man had died unexpectedly. Gu Chen simply expressed his doubts one by one:
"The first time I saw him before, it was at the door of the corridor where we checked into the hotel room."
"He was following a group of staff and passed me by."
"At that time, I felt that there was something wrong with the way this person looked at me, as if he was dodging."
"Later, when he passed by me, he deliberately avoided his eyes. At that time, he thought it was my eyes. He was a little embarrassed, so he looked away."
After a pause, Gu Chen said again: "But later, when they were in the restaurant, they left early."
"When I was leaving, the crippled man secretly looked at me again. When I found out, he quickly averted his gaze."
"It feels like he has been avoiding me, but he has been paying attention to me."
"Maybe it's because I think you're handsome." Lu Weiwei also joked casually.
The originally tense atmosphere was suddenly shattered by Lu Weiwei's words.
Officer Wang also said angrily, "Lu Weiwei, can you be more serious?"
"Old Wang, I'm already very serious. There seems to be a lot of passers-by who pay more attention to my junior brother, right? It's not surprising."
Turning her head to look at Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei immediately said again: "But Junior Brother Gu feels something is wrong, so there must be something wrong, maybe this person has a ghost in his heart?"
"Forget about that, I have to go up and see the situation." Gu Chen didn't care too much now, after all, people were killed by falling objects, Gu Chen felt that it was necessary for him to go up and see the situation.
At this moment, another vehicle approached in the distance.
Gu Chen looked back and saw that the person who came was Gao Chuanfeng's forensic team from the technical department of the Municipal Bureau.
Gu Chen simply told Lu Weiwei: "Senior Sister Lu, you stay here and meet Gao Chuanfeng and the others. Senior Brother Wang and I will go up to see the situation."
"Then be careful." Lu Weiwei hurriedly reminded Gu Chen when she heard Gu Chen's words.
"Yes." Gu Chen didn't think much, glanced at Police Officer Wang behind him, and the two of them immediately walked towards the iron frame along the place where the weeds were scarce.
The structure of this location is rather weird, similar to the location of a boiler, surrounded by iron ladders.
To get to the top, you need to keep climbing, similar to the water tower climbing structure.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Gu Chen and Police Officer Wang were holding on to the iron railing, and every time they took a step, there would be a thumping sound.
And the iron plate under the feet will also drop some fine rust powder from time to time due to friction.
Since the guardrail of the climbing iron frame is at the waist position, the safety of the two is still guaranteed.
But when Gu Chen and Police Officer Wang climbed to the topmost position, they saw the figures below, as if they were the size of ants.
"Gu Chen, is it safe up there?" Officer Wang followed behind Gu Chen, also curiously asking.
Gu Chen nodded silently: "It's safe, and it's quite empty."
"Then go up and have a look, and go back if there is no problem." Officer Wang doesn't like to climb such dangerous places.
The last time I went to climb the water tower with Gu Chen, Police Officer Wang still remembers it vividly.
That level of thrill is much more dangerous than it is now.
Fortunately, there are sufficient safety guarantees around the equipment structure of the steel plant, and the guardrails are also much more reliable.
After observing for a while, Gu Chen prepared to climb up to the top of the boiler.
However, he suddenly discovered that there seemed to be some obvious scratches on the position where he was climbing.
Immediately, Gu Chen stopped moving again.
Officer Wang saw that Gu Chen was about to go up, but he stopped moving forward. Officer Wang, who was blocked behind, also hurriedly asked Gu Chen, "Gu Chen, what's wrong?"
"Nothing? It feels like someone has been here before." Gu Chen said casually, climbing up again.
Afterwards, he grabbed Officer Wang and brought Officer Wang up with him.
The two stood on top of what resembled a boiler.
At this moment, the wind in the ear is also increasing.
Standing at get off work, I still don't feel much impact.
But once standing on a high place, there are not many blocking objects around, so the sound of the wind in the ears also becomes howling.
"Be careful, Senior Brother Wang, this may be equipment that has been dismantled, and many structures are damaged." Gu Chen said.
"That's right." According to Gu Chen's reminder, Police Officer Wang couldn't help but look around, and echoed:
"All the surrounding objects have been demolished, leaving only the main structure. It is estimated that it is difficult to dismantle, so it is temporarily preserved and waits for it to be dismantled in the future."
"But even so, there are no defective items left here." Gu Chen walked to a structural steel frame, flipped it a few times at random, and confirmed that it was very strong.
Police Officer Wang looked around, wondering, "Then why did this steel bar fall from the edge?"
"If this kind of steel is randomly discarded at the corner of the dismantled abandoned boiler, it is quite dangerous. Anyway, this kind of steel rod must be returned to its place."
"It should be here." Gu Chen pointed out the approximate location as soon as Officer Wang finished speaking.
Afterwards, the two quickly trotted all the way to the position above where the incident happened just now.
Slowly approaching the corner, both Gu Chen and Police Officer Wang chose to crawl to avoid accidents.
At this moment, the bottom is where the deceased fell to the ground, surrounded by a group of people, it should be Lu Weiwei and Gao Chuanfeng's team.
It seemed that she saw herself and Police Officer Wang, and Lu Weiwei who was below suddenly shouted: "Junior Brother Gu, Old Wang, did you find anything up there?"
"Not yet." Officer Wang also replied loudly.
"If you don't find anything, come down quickly, it's very dangerous up there." Lu Weiwei was actually worried about Gu Chen's safety, so she said it casually.
Officer Wang immediately retracted his head, reminding Gu Chen, "Gu Chen, I don't think there is any problem here."
"Senior Brother Wang." As soon as Police Officer Wang finished speaking, Gu Chen pointed to the place beside him and said, "The steel bars should have fallen from here."
"That's right, it fell from here, you can tell by the wear marks on the corners." Officer Wang also confirmed Gu Chen's words.
But Gu Chen shook his head and continued to remind: "Take a closer look, do you see any problems?"
Police officer Wang stared blankly, and then followed Gu Chen's prompt to carefully observe the corners of the top of the scrapped boiler.
After a while, Police Officer Wang said again: "There is no problem with the wear marks, but the problem is how did this steel bar appear at the corner? This arrangement is too scary."
"That's not the point." Seeing that Police Officer Wang hadn't found the problem yet, Gu Chen quickly explained: "This steel bar, or a steel springboard is more suitable, and the length is about one meter."
"But if you want to let the long steel plate fall, it seems that you need a reasonable angle."
"You mean..." Hearing what Gu Chen said, Police Officer Wang seemed to realize something again, and hurriedly said:
"You mean... at least half of the long steel plate must be suspended?"
"That's right." Seeing that Police Officer Wang had already discovered the problem, Gu Chen pointed to the location of the wear marks on the long steel plate and explained: "Look here, and here."
Gu Chen used his finger as a size and began to measure it. He couldn't help but say, "Judging from these wear marks, the long steel plate has not been in this position for a long time, otherwise the marks would be quite obvious."
"Secondly, there are friction marks on the long steel plate. Look here, it is obviously 70 centimeters in length."
"And if you look at the angle of this edge position, it is obviously a horizontal position, and there is even an inward slanting state."
"I understand what you mean." Listening to Gu Chen's careful explanation, Police Officer Wang suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "You mean, this is actually two-thirds of the place with the long steel plate, or in other words, there is more The long position is inside."
"And if this is the case, with the weight of the long steel plate itself, it is impossible for it to fall, right?"
"That's right." Gu Chen also meant exactly this, so he continued: "Theoretically speaking, even if there is a stronger wind force, it will not be able to bring too many external factors to the long steel plate."
"Because according to the consideration of the long steel plate and the position of the corners, the long steel plate must be half of the position outside the edge, so that it may tilt and fall from above."
"From the on-site friction traces, it is obvious that there is also a truncated wear mark at the position of 70 centimeters. This should be the trace of friction at the top kerf position of the long steel plate."
"It's clear that two-thirds of the place is inside, but why is it tilted?"
"Or, when someone moved the long steel plate to the corner and was about to determine the direction of the fall, they deliberately put the steel plate down temporarily to prevent the steel plate from falling directly."
"And after the specific range was determined, the long steel plate was slowly moved to a suitable position, and this was the reason for the subsequent fall?"
As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Police Officer Wang was also on the spot in a daze.
After a few seconds, Officer Wang thought about it and said, "It seems reasonable to hear what you said, Gu Chen. Could it be that all of this is secretly manipulated by someone behind the scenes?"
"The purpose is to let this steel plate fall down accurately and hit the dead man's head directly?"
After thinking about it, Police Officer Wang immediately denied himself: "That's not right, if someone was secretly hiding on top of this, then after the murderer committed the crime, logically speaking, the murderer should have five ways to retreat, right?"
"Besides, after the deceased was hit, he was also surrounded by people at the scene. Even if the murderer wanted to escape at this time, it would be impossible, right?"
When Gu Chen saw this, he also reminded: "Besides, I had asked Liu Jingru to protect the scene at that time, and no one would go near the corpse any more."
"Moreover." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Police Officer Wang continued to add: "And at that time, Liu Jingru was standing beside the corpse, protecting the corpse from being destroyed."
"If the murderer wants to escape during this time period, it is almost impossible, because someone is guarding the corpse below, and there is only one passage from the top to the bottom. Could it be that the murderer can fly away?"
Feeling that the scene was getting weirder and weirder, Gu Chen also found too many traces that were difficult to explain.
After thinking about it, he simply said: "Brother Wang, why don't we go down first and see what's going on with the corpse?"
"It's fine, anyway, I don't want to stay on top." Hearing Gu Chen's words, Police Officer Wang got up straight away, patted the rust on his clothes, and then started to return the same way.
Gu Chen took out his mobile phone and began to take pictures of the traces of the scene. Then he followed Police Officer Wang and climbed to the bottom of the passage just now.
At this moment, seeing that both of them were safe, Lu Weiwei hurried over and held a metal object in her hand: "Look at this."
"What is this?" Officer Wang, who was wearing white gloves, took a look at it, and immediately began to fiddle with it in his hand, murmuring involuntarily:
"Isn't this just a small gold ingot? Is it gold-plated?" Officer Wang weighed it in his hand a few times before asking Lu Weiwei curiously:
"Where did you get all this? If you don't know, you really think it's an ingot of gold."
"It was found from under the body of the deceased." Lu Weiwei said.
"You found it from under the corpse?" Hearing what Lu Weiwei said, Gu Chen hurriedly took the gold ingot from Police Officer Wang's book, and couldn't help walking to the corpse.
At this moment, Gao Chuanfeng's team is doing an on-site inspection of the corpse.
Seeing that Gu Chen had come to his side, he also said curiously: "Gu Chen, this person died a bit tragically, his brains were smashed out."
"I know." Gu Chen took out the gold ingot in his hand and asked Gao Chuanfeng, "Where did you find this thing?"
"It's just his abdomen." Gao Chuanfeng pointed to the ground, and also reminded: "We moved the corpse just now, and when we turned his body around, we found that there was something hidden in his abdomen."
"I took it over and looked at it, and it turned out to be a gold ingot."
After thinking about it, Gao Chuanfeng immediately changed his words and said: "To be precise, it should be a gold-plated plastic toy, which is exactly the same as the real gold ingot, and it looks very realistic."
"If you don't know this, you really think you've found gold."
"Find gold?" Hearing what Gao Chuanfeng said, Gu Chen suddenly realized: "That's right, why didn't I think of it?"
"Junior Brother Gu, what did you think of?" Lu Weiwei, who was standing aside, was also very curious after hearing what Gu Chen said.
Gu Chen didn't answer directly, but hurriedly said to Liu Jingru who was standing in the distance: "Liu Jingru."
"Senior Gu Chen." Seeing Gu Chen calling her, Liu Jingru hurried over and asked Gu Chen, "Senior Gu Chen, what's the matter?"
"When the deceased died, did you find it? Or did you discover the deceased a long time after his death?" Gu Chen asked.
Liu Jingru hurriedly replied: "At that time, we were all new to the scene, so I was preparing some materials with the on-site staff and the logistics support department."
"Other club members also wandered around in their spare time, but they were all at the entrance."
"Only a small number of personnel from the logistics support department went to the site to survey the terrain. After all, they were here for the first time, so they were very curious about this site and wanted to collect some on-site obstacle data."
"And then?" Hearing what Lu Weiwei said, Gu Chen was even more puzzled.
The doubt lies in the fact that these logistics support personnel are on the scene for the first time.
But this is the first time I came to this abandoned factory, how could this kind of thing happen suddenly?
Especially this lame member of the logistics support department, who was accidentally hit by a falling object when he came here for the first time, died on the spot.
Moreover, the objects that fell from a high altitude looked like traps deliberately designed by people.
With the addition of this strange gold ingot, Gu Chen felt even more that this accident did not seem to be an accident.
Also seeing Gu Chen's serious expression, Liu Jingru also replied seriously: "Later, we heard a scream, and many people heard it."
"Then, everyone swarmed and ran over according to the location of the sound source, and then saw him fall to the ground, dead on the spot, and his brain..."
Speaking of this, Liu Jingru seemed to have a conditioned reflex, and she couldn't help covering her mouth and nose, and said a little uncomfortable: "I just found out that his brain was cracked, and the scene was horrible."
"Then it only depends on whether you have followed my request and immediately sealed off the scene of the incident?" Gu Chen asked again.
"Yes." Hearing Gu Chen's speech, Liu Jingru nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and then hurriedly replied:
"When I saw this scene, I called you as soon as possible, and then you told me on the phone to protect the scene."
"Then, I will follow your instructions and ask the staff not to touch the corpse, then retreat to a certain distance and do not approach."
After a pause, Liu Jingru said again: "But some people want to go and see the corpse, especially the colleagues of the deceased."
"I was afraid that these people would destroy the scene, so I ordered them to stay away from the corpse, but I was afraid that they would not listen, so I stood by myself at the closest position to the corpse and stopped everyone until you arrived."
Speaking of this, Liu Jingru also let out a long sigh, feeling where did she have the courage at that time? A person stood by the corpse, waiting until Gu Chen's arrival.
Gu Chen nodded slightly, and asked again: "Did you notice at that time that someone had quietly walked down from above?"
"Above?" Hearing Gu Chen's words, Liu Jingru was a little dazed, and subconsciously followed Gu Chen's prompt, raised her head and glanced at the position above, shook her head immediately, and said involuntarily:
"No, there's never been any movement from up there."
"I was even afraid of falling objects, so I stared at the top twice, but I didn't find any movement."
"Really?" Lu Weiwei walked over after examining the corpse.
Liu Jingru nodded fiercely: "Really, because if someone comes down from above, even if it comes down quietly, there should be some movement, right?"
"Although my back is facing the corpse, I can still hear the movement around me clearly."
"That's right." Hearing what Liu Jingru said, Gu Chen also nodded slightly, and said slowly:
"I went up with Senior Brother Wang to check the situation just now. When climbing, it is inevitable that there will be a 'dong dong' movement, and the movement is very obvious."
"If someone comes down quietly, there will be a movement, there is no reason why they can't hear it."
"Junior Brother Gu, according to you, there is no one there? This long steel plate fell from a high altitude by itself, and then hit the dead again?"
Hearing Lu Weiwei's speech, Gu Chen shook his head.
"No?" Lu Weiwei was a little dazed, and asked again: "How did the long steel plate fall?"
"I'm not sure yet, but from the investigation of the situation above with Senior Brother Wang just now, it seems that someone moved this long steel plate to the edge in advance."
"Then the long steel plate fell down and hit the dead man."
"It's such a coincidence?" Liu Jingru also felt that Gu Chen seemed to be exaggerating.
But Gu Chen pointed to the corpse in front of him and reminded: "If the deceased really passed by here normally and was hit by a long steel plate that fell accidentally, it can only be said that he was unlucky."
"But if it's this..."
While speaking, Gu Chen weighed the gold-plated plastic gold ingot in his hand, and said: "If this happened to the deceased at the scene, would he stop? Then pick up this gold ingot?"
"You mean... this gold ingot is actually the culprit who induced the deceased to stop?" Lu Weiwei understood Gu Chen's meaning and asked curiously.
Gu Chen nodded slightly, and said truthfully: "We checked the top just now and found some suspicious signs of wear and tear."
"The specific manifestation is that two-thirds of the long steel plate used to be in the inner position, and the entire top corner position has an inward slope."
"Then if it is impossible for the long steel plate to fall from above under such circumstances, but it did fall, what does that mean?"
"Explain...explain that the long steel plate must be at least half of its length and be suspended outside before it can fall."
Lu Weiwei quickly followed Gu Chen's train of thought and understood what Gu Chen meant.
Gu Chen snapped his fingers, and then said again: "What I want to say is this. Obviously, the position of the wear marks on the long steel plate shows that two-thirds of the long steel plate was once inside, but why? Would it suddenly fall? Isn't that strange?"
"The only explanation that can be explained is that someone saw that the long steel plate was moved to the inner two-thirds of the position, placed it temporarily, and then after confirming the position, only one half of the long steel plate, or slightly less than half of it, was moved. One position, placed in the specified position."
Speaking of this, Gu Chen directly raised his head and pointed upwards, and continued: "Look, there is only this place on the top of this abandoned boiler building, which is a protruding part."
"And below, it happens to be this concrete trail."
"The two sides of the cement path have already been covered by vegetation, and the passable area is only one meter wide."
"If someone took out the protruding part on the top and dropped the object freely, would it just hit the place where the deceased fell to the ground?"
Hearing what Gu Chen said, the scene suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at the scene, thinking about Gu Chen's question just now.
"Then you have to calculate the time, right? It's like the time for the deceased to pass through." The forensic doctor Gao Chuanfeng said.
Gu Chen took out the gold-plated plastic gold ingot in his hand again, and said, "This is the key to solving the problem."
"The key to solving the problem?" Gao Chuanfeng was startled when he heard Gu Chen's words.
But Lu Weiwei, who reacted half a beat quickly, quickly snapped her fingers and said, "I see, this is indeed the crux of the problem."
After taking the gold ingot in Gu Chen's hand, Lu Weiwei quickly explained: "It was because there was a gold ingot on the ground that the deceased walked over out of curiosity, wanting to pick it up and see what happened."
"In this way, the deceased will stay at this place for a short time, thus buying time for the falling objects."
As soon as the words fell, Lu Weiwei suddenly became confused again: "But it's not right, although these conditions of Junior Brother Gu are all established, it seems to be able to prove that someone is deliberately designing a trap."
"If you want to drop a long steel plate of this weight level directly from a high altitude, someone must do it yourself?"
"But you also went up just now, and Liu Jingru also said that after the accidental death of the deceased, no one climbed down from the top, which means that there was no one on top."
"But since there is no one on top, why was the deceased so accurately smashed to death? This means that if the deceased happened to pick up the gold ingot, he was also accurately captured by the murderer, which caused the long steel plate to fall quickly."
After a pause, Lu Weiwei also took a deep breath, trying to adjust her breathing rhythm, and then said:
"But how did this person disappear out of thin air? Could this guy fly away by himself?"
Although Gu Chen did give a lot of doubts, he even guessed how this gold-plated gold ingot product lured the deceased to stop, and was finally crushed to death by the long steel plate that had been positioned.
But all these operations seem to need people to complete, but people? It doesn't seem to exist at all.
This inevitably made Lu Weiwei confused.
Of course, it wasn't just Lu Weiwei who were also confused, but Police Officer Wang, Gao Chuanfeng, and Liu Jingru were all like this.
At this moment, Officer Wang crossed his arms and couldn't help but sighed, "That's right, I went up with Gu Chen just now, and I did see some problems with the friction marks on the scene."
"Based on the analysis just now by Bao Chen, it is true that someone temporarily placed the long steel plate in the two-thirds of the inner position to prevent it from falling."
"Then, in order to let the long steel plate fall, it moved to half of it. This is all possible."
"Because the friction marks on the site are still relatively new, they are still somewhat different from the rusty steel structures around them."
"What about people? If you can't find the culprit, it's hard to make a claim." Although Gao Chuanfeng gradually agreed with Gu Chen's analysis.
However, when handling a case, one needs to talk about evidence. Even if Gu Chen reasoned logically based on the situation at the scene, if the perpetrator cannot be found, then everything will be useless.
Gu Chen also nodded silently, a little guilty: "This is the reason why I was in trouble, because according to the actual situation, the murderer should indeed be hiding above."
"Could it be that the murderer is still hiding in a certain corner above? After all, this steel frame structure has been half demolished, and this is the only way to get down, unless..."
"Unless the murderer uses the ropes to quickly descend and evacuate from another perspective after committing the crime." At this time, Gao Chuanfeng gave another possibility.
But Gu Chen shook his head, and directly denied it: "This possibility, I have repeatedly observed it when I checked it from above. Except for the place where it fell, there are a few traces of friction."
"Anywhere in the other corners, there is no trace of friction, and there is no place to tie the rope."
"That's right." As soon as Gu Chen's voice fell, Liu Jingru, who stood aside for a long time and couldn't get in, hurriedly reminded:
"This abandoned steel frame structure has some columns underneath, which are in a suspended state."
"If someone made a cable drop, it would definitely be easy to be discovered, and as soon as the deceased made a movement, many of us had already rushed to the scene, and the timing was very tight."
"But in such a short period of time, how could the murderer drop from a high altitude? This time is not allowed?"
After a pause, seeing that everyone was looking at her at this moment, Liu Jingru also continued:
"Besides, if someone is lowered, it should be assumed that there are so many people staying at the scene. Once the murderer is lowered into the surrounding weeds, there will be a lot of noise, such as 'swish', It’s also easy to get our attention.”
"That is to say, after the incident, there was no murderer at all?" Lu Weiwei looked around, feeling more and more that the logistics support staff seemed to have died too strangely.
The scene was quiet again.
Although according to the known conditions, everyone has found out many possibilities of homicide.
However, how the murderer quietly left the scene after precise planning, so that no one would notice, seems to be a difficult problem before everyone.
In particular, the possibility of the murderer's evacuation method was rejected by everyone here, which made the on-site investigation even more weird.
...
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"No...it's not that you wait a little longer." Feeling a bit confused, Gao Chuanfeng repeated it again: "I told you a good news, but then you want to tell me a bad news? Gu Chen, you want revenge what?"
"Don't talk about whether it's useful or not. There was an accident at the training ground of the Traversing Machine Racing Competition. I'm going to the scene right away. Hurry up too."
Gu Chen took a deep breath, trying to adjust his breathing rhythm, and then said: "I'll send you the address right away, that's all for now, see you at the place where the incident happened."
"What?" After hearing Gu Chen's words, Gao Chuanfeng became even more confused: "An accident happened again?"
...
...
3:50 p.m.
The old site of the abandoned steel factory in the west of the city, at this moment, the surroundings are already full of discussions.
According to Gu Chen's intention, Liu Jingru has already arranged staff to protect the scene.
But it is difficult for a weak girl to command these big and three thick guys. Many people agree to it on the surface, but they walk around at will.
This brings great trouble to the protection site.
So Liu Jingru could only find an on-site staff member to block the way out.
On the other hand, he stayed near the corpse, stopped everyone from approaching, and prevented everyone from approaching the corpse.
But seeing such a tragic scene at close range, Liu Jingru was also terrified.
He could only turn his back to the corpse, trying not to look at the miserable scene.
Fortunately, at this moment, Gu Chen had already driven a police car, and brought Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha to the scene.
After getting off the car, Yuan Shasha took out the cordon and wrapped the exit of the scene to prevent everyone from leaving the scene.
And Gu Chen took Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang, and according to the guidance of the crowd, they walked all the way to a narrow path deep in the abandoned steel factory.
At this moment, Liu Jingru was still standing there blankly, her legs were trembling, and she seemed to be unable to hold on any longer.
The moment she saw Gu Chen and the others coming, she breathed a sigh of relief and hurried towards them.
"Senior Gu Chen." Liu Jingru said out of breath, feeling extremely nervous.
Gu Chen glanced behind Liu Jingru, only to find that a man wearing a work vest was lying on the ground at the moment, and there was a bloody smell around him.
At this moment, Gu Chen didn't care too much, and hurried over in small steps.
Followed by Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang, the three of them surrounded the corpse familiarly.
Although it was not the first time for everyone to see the corpse, the tragic scene at the scene still made everyone a little sick.
"Is this brain smashed like this? Isn't it too miserable?" Although Lu Weiwei was wearing a mask, she subconsciously covered her mouth and nose.
Police officer Wang looked up at the surrounding environment, and couldn't help complaining: "This guy is unlucky enough, how could an accident happen in this place?"
Gu Chen didn't speak, and at the same time that Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang were inspecting the body, Gu Chen immediately began to observe the surrounding environment.
It is in a narrow passage, and on both sides are various iron frame buildings with strange structures, all of which are about 20 meters high.
On both sides of this narrow concrete passage, all kinds of weeds have already grown, and because few people walk around, the surrounding weeds are also quite lush.
It has already spread from the roadside area to the middle area of the cement trail.
Therefore, the concrete path, which was originally the width of a one-way street, now only has a distance of about one meter in the middle, which can be barely passed.
The surrounding sides have long been covered with various weeds.
"How did this guy come to such a place?" Gu Chen was a little puzzled, turned to look at Liu Jingru who was still trembling, and asked her:
"Liu Jingru."
"Ah?" Liu Jingru's body trembled, and only then did she react from the sluggish state just now, and quickly stepped forward to ask Gu Chen: "Why... what's wrong, senior Gu Chen?"
"Why did this person appear here?" Gu Chen asked her.
"Oh, it's because you need to be familiar with the venue." Liu Jingru took a deep breath, trying to calm down, and quickly replied to Gu Chen.
"Is this the so-called third competition venue?" At this moment, Officer Wang also walked over from the corpse.
Liu Jingru nodded fiercely: "Well, this is the final venue of the Jiangnan City sub-station of this FPV time-traveling machine racing competition, the abandoned steel factory."
"Here, the final winner of the competition will be determined. Our organizer has only completed the layout of this venue in the past few days. Originally, we wanted you to come to train at night."
Speaking of this, Liu Jingru suddenly remembered how she was called to the Furong branch just now, and was interrogated one by one by everyone, and she felt embarrassed for a while.
"So, the deceased came to this narrow passage for the purpose of surveying the site, but was accidentally crushed to death by a falling object, right?" Gu Chen looked around and asked.
Liu Jingru nodded silently: "Maybe so."
"What was the object that hit the deceased?" Gu Chen said.
Liu Jingru looked around, then pointed to a steel bar in the lawn and said, "This is it?"
After the words fell, Gu Chen and the others looked at the lawn together.
Gu Chen hurried up a few steps, squatted down, and picked up the steel bar beside him with his white-gloved hands.
But when he lifted it up, Gu Chen could clearly feel the weight of the steel bar, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "This steel bar is not light, but how could it fall from a high altitude?"
"I don't know about this. It may be an abandoned steel factory. Many parts are already aging, right? The steel may have been welded on it before, but after the wind and rain, it has some signs of falling off."
After all, Liu Jingru didn't know the specific situation very well, so she could only explain it casually based on her own imagination.
Gu Chen couldn't help shaking his head, and hurriedly reminded: "Senior Sister Lu, Senior Brother Wang, and Jingru, all of you, be careful and pay attention to the falling objects on your heads."
"Maybe this steel bar was the first one to fall, but it wasn't the last one."
"That's right, Liu Jingru, you'd better get out of here quickly and stand outside in a safe area." Officer Wang was reminded, and hurriedly urged Liu Jingru to leave the incident area as soon as possible.
Liu Jingru nodded silently, and quickly left the range with small steps.
At this moment, Lu Weiwei also took out her mobile phone and hurriedly took pictures around the deceased to collect evidence.
After a burst of full-angle shooting, Lu Weiwei reminded Gu Chen: "Junior Brother Gu, do me a favor. Position the corpse and move it around. I want to see his face clearly."
"No problem." Hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Gu Chen took out a white paintbrush from the portable toolbox, and began to trace along the outline of the deceased's death area with the white paintbrush.
After it was finished, he and Police Officer Wang carefully turned the body over, preparing for Lu Weiwei to take a set of frontal photos.
But at the moment when Gu Chen turned the corpse from the prostrate state to the supine state, Gu Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly found that this person seemed to have known him before.
"What? You know him?" Seeing Gu Chen's surprised face, Lu Weiwei asked him curiously.
"That's right, I did meet this logistics support person, he was at the hotel where we were staying." After turning the corpse over, Gu Chen also stood up straight, feeling a wave of thought and fear.
Lu Weiwei quickly pointed the phone lens at the screen, quickly took a few frontal photos, then raised her head, and continued to ask Gu Chen:
"But why don't I have an impression?"
"He has an injury on his leg, and he walks with a limp." Gu Chen continued to remind.
Police officer Wang suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "So it's him? I saw him before when I was having breakfast in the hotel restaurant."
"I remember it too." Hearing Officer Wang's words, Lu Weiwei also seemed to have an impression.
When everyone was staying at the hotel for breakfast, these people would often eat at the hotel.
At that time, among the personnel of the Technical Support Department, Lu Weiwei did notice a man walking with a limp, so she just took a second look.
But now I didn't expect that the man at that time was still lying on the ground at this moment, his brain was cracked, and the scene was very miserable.
"There seems to be something wrong with this person." Gu Chen didn't know how to explain it, so he couldn't help but mutter.
Lu Weiwei raised her head and asked, "Which problem do you mean?"
"The eyes, especially the eyes that look at me." Gu Chen didn't hide it. After all, the lame man had died unexpectedly. Gu Chen simply expressed his doubts one by one:
"The first time I saw him before, it was at the door of the corridor where we checked into the hotel room."
"He was following a group of staff and passed me by."
"At that time, I felt that there was something wrong with the way this person looked at me, as if he was dodging."
"Later, when he passed by me, he deliberately avoided his eyes. At that time, he thought it was my eyes. He was a little embarrassed, so he looked away."
After a pause, Gu Chen said again: "But later, when they were in the restaurant, they left early."
"When I was leaving, the crippled man secretly looked at me again. When I found out, he quickly averted his gaze."
"It feels like he has been avoiding me, but he has been paying attention to me."
"Maybe it's because I think you're handsome." Lu Weiwei also joked casually.
The originally tense atmosphere was suddenly shattered by Lu Weiwei's words.
Officer Wang also said angrily, "Lu Weiwei, can you be more serious?"
"Old Wang, I'm already very serious. There seems to be a lot of passers-by who pay more attention to my junior brother, right? It's not surprising."
Turning her head to look at Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei immediately said again: "But Junior Brother Gu feels something is wrong, so there must be something wrong, maybe this person has a ghost in his heart?"
"Forget about that, I have to go up and see the situation." Gu Chen didn't care too much now, after all, people were killed by falling objects, Gu Chen felt that it was necessary for him to go up and see the situation.
At this moment, another vehicle approached in the distance.
Gu Chen looked back and saw that the person who came was Gao Chuanfeng's forensic team from the technical department of the Municipal Bureau.
Gu Chen simply told Lu Weiwei: "Senior Sister Lu, you stay here and meet Gao Chuanfeng and the others. Senior Brother Wang and I will go up to see the situation."
"Then be careful." Lu Weiwei hurriedly reminded Gu Chen when she heard Gu Chen's words.
"Yes." Gu Chen didn't think much, glanced at Police Officer Wang behind him, and the two of them immediately walked towards the iron frame along the place where the weeds were scarce.
The structure of this location is rather weird, similar to the location of a boiler, surrounded by iron ladders.
To get to the top, you need to keep climbing, similar to the water tower climbing structure.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Gu Chen and Police Officer Wang were holding on to the iron railing, and every time they took a step, there would be a thumping sound.
And the iron plate under the feet will also drop some fine rust powder from time to time due to friction.
Since the guardrail of the climbing iron frame is at the waist position, the safety of the two is still guaranteed.
But when Gu Chen and Police Officer Wang climbed to the topmost position, they saw the figures below, as if they were the size of ants.
"Gu Chen, is it safe up there?" Officer Wang followed behind Gu Chen, also curiously asking.
Gu Chen nodded silently: "It's safe, and it's quite empty."
"Then go up and have a look, and go back if there is no problem." Officer Wang doesn't like to climb such dangerous places.
The last time I went to climb the water tower with Gu Chen, Police Officer Wang still remembers it vividly.
That level of thrill is much more dangerous than it is now.
Fortunately, there are sufficient safety guarantees around the equipment structure of the steel plant, and the guardrails are also much more reliable.
After observing for a while, Gu Chen prepared to climb up to the top of the boiler.
However, he suddenly discovered that there seemed to be some obvious scratches on the position where he was climbing.
Immediately, Gu Chen stopped moving again.
Officer Wang saw that Gu Chen was about to go up, but he stopped moving forward. Officer Wang, who was blocked behind, also hurriedly asked Gu Chen, "Gu Chen, what's wrong?"
"Nothing? It feels like someone has been here before." Gu Chen said casually, climbing up again.
Afterwards, he grabbed Officer Wang and brought Officer Wang up with him.
The two stood on top of what resembled a boiler.
At this moment, the wind in the ear is also increasing.
Standing at get off work, I still don't feel much impact.
But once standing on a high place, there are not many blocking objects around, so the sound of the wind in the ears also becomes howling.
"Be careful, Senior Brother Wang, this may be equipment that has been dismantled, and many structures are damaged." Gu Chen said.
"That's right." According to Gu Chen's reminder, Police Officer Wang couldn't help but look around, and echoed:
"All the surrounding objects have been demolished, leaving only the main structure. It is estimated that it is difficult to dismantle, so it is temporarily preserved and waits for it to be dismantled in the future."
"But even so, there are no defective items left here." Gu Chen walked to a structural steel frame, flipped it a few times at random, and confirmed that it was very strong.
Police Officer Wang looked around, wondering, "Then why did this steel bar fall from the edge?"
"If this kind of steel is randomly discarded at the corner of the dismantled abandoned boiler, it is quite dangerous. Anyway, this kind of steel rod must be returned to its place."
"It should be here." Gu Chen pointed out the approximate location as soon as Officer Wang finished speaking.
Afterwards, the two quickly trotted all the way to the position above where the incident happened just now.
Slowly approaching the corner, both Gu Chen and Police Officer Wang chose to crawl to avoid accidents.
At this moment, the bottom is where the deceased fell to the ground, surrounded by a group of people, it should be Lu Weiwei and Gao Chuanfeng's team.
It seemed that she saw herself and Police Officer Wang, and Lu Weiwei who was below suddenly shouted: "Junior Brother Gu, Old Wang, did you find anything up there?"
"Not yet." Officer Wang also replied loudly.
"If you don't find anything, come down quickly, it's very dangerous up there." Lu Weiwei was actually worried about Gu Chen's safety, so she said it casually.
Officer Wang immediately retracted his head, reminding Gu Chen, "Gu Chen, I don't think there is any problem here."
"Senior Brother Wang." As soon as Police Officer Wang finished speaking, Gu Chen pointed to the place beside him and said, "The steel bars should have fallen from here."
"That's right, it fell from here, you can tell by the wear marks on the corners." Officer Wang also confirmed Gu Chen's words.
But Gu Chen shook his head and continued to remind: "Take a closer look, do you see any problems?"
Police officer Wang stared blankly, and then followed Gu Chen's prompt to carefully observe the corners of the top of the scrapped boiler.
After a while, Police Officer Wang said again: "There is no problem with the wear marks, but the problem is how did this steel bar appear at the corner? This arrangement is too scary."
"That's not the point." Seeing that Police Officer Wang hadn't found the problem yet, Gu Chen quickly explained: "This steel bar, or a steel springboard is more suitable, and the length is about one meter."
"But if you want to let the long steel plate fall, it seems that you need a reasonable angle."
"You mean..." Hearing what Gu Chen said, Police Officer Wang seemed to realize something again, and hurriedly said:
"You mean... at least half of the long steel plate must be suspended?"
"That's right." Seeing that Police Officer Wang had already discovered the problem, Gu Chen pointed to the location of the wear marks on the long steel plate and explained: "Look here, and here."
Gu Chen used his finger as a size and began to measure it. He couldn't help but say, "Judging from these wear marks, the long steel plate has not been in this position for a long time, otherwise the marks would be quite obvious."
"Secondly, there are friction marks on the long steel plate. Look here, it is obviously 70 centimeters in length."
"And if you look at the angle of this edge position, it is obviously a horizontal position, and there is even an inward slanting state."
"I understand what you mean." Listening to Gu Chen's careful explanation, Police Officer Wang suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "You mean, this is actually two-thirds of the place with the long steel plate, or in other words, there is more The long position is inside."
"And if this is the case, with the weight of the long steel plate itself, it is impossible for it to fall, right?"
"That's right." Gu Chen also meant exactly this, so he continued: "Theoretically speaking, even if there is a stronger wind force, it will not be able to bring too many external factors to the long steel plate."
"Because according to the consideration of the long steel plate and the position of the corners, the long steel plate must be half of the position outside the edge, so that it may tilt and fall from above."
"From the on-site friction traces, it is obvious that there is also a truncated wear mark at the position of 70 centimeters. This should be the trace of friction at the top kerf position of the long steel plate."
"It's clear that two-thirds of the place is inside, but why is it tilted?"
"Or, when someone moved the long steel plate to the corner and was about to determine the direction of the fall, they deliberately put the steel plate down temporarily to prevent the steel plate from falling directly."
"And after the specific range was determined, the long steel plate was slowly moved to a suitable position, and this was the reason for the subsequent fall?"
As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Police Officer Wang was also on the spot in a daze.
After a few seconds, Officer Wang thought about it and said, "It seems reasonable to hear what you said, Gu Chen. Could it be that all of this is secretly manipulated by someone behind the scenes?"
"The purpose is to let this steel plate fall down accurately and hit the dead man's head directly?"
After thinking about it, Police Officer Wang immediately denied himself: "That's not right, if someone was secretly hiding on top of this, then after the murderer committed the crime, logically speaking, the murderer should have five ways to retreat, right?"
"Besides, after the deceased was hit, he was also surrounded by people at the scene. Even if the murderer wanted to escape at this time, it would be impossible, right?"
When Gu Chen saw this, he also reminded: "Besides, I had asked Liu Jingru to protect the scene at that time, and no one would go near the corpse any more."
"Moreover." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Police Officer Wang continued to add: "And at that time, Liu Jingru was standing beside the corpse, protecting the corpse from being destroyed."
"If the murderer wants to escape during this time period, it is almost impossible, because someone is guarding the corpse below, and there is only one passage from the top to the bottom. Could it be that the murderer can fly away?"
Feeling that the scene was getting weirder and weirder, Gu Chen also found too many traces that were difficult to explain.
After thinking about it, he simply said: "Brother Wang, why don't we go down first and see what's going on with the corpse?"
"It's fine, anyway, I don't want to stay on top." Hearing Gu Chen's words, Police Officer Wang got up straight away, patted the rust on his clothes, and then started to return the same way.
Gu Chen took out his mobile phone and began to take pictures of the traces of the scene. Then he followed Police Officer Wang and climbed to the bottom of the passage just now.
At this moment, seeing that both of them were safe, Lu Weiwei hurried over and held a metal object in her hand: "Look at this."
"What is this?" Officer Wang, who was wearing white gloves, took a look at it, and immediately began to fiddle with it in his hand, murmuring involuntarily:
"Isn't this just a small gold ingot? Is it gold-plated?" Officer Wang weighed it in his hand a few times before asking Lu Weiwei curiously:
"Where did you get all this? If you don't know, you really think it's an ingot of gold."
"It was found from under the body of the deceased." Lu Weiwei said.
"You found it from under the corpse?" Hearing what Lu Weiwei said, Gu Chen hurriedly took the gold ingot from Police Officer Wang's book, and couldn't help walking to the corpse.
At this moment, Gao Chuanfeng's team is doing an on-site inspection of the corpse.
Seeing that Gu Chen had come to his side, he also said curiously: "Gu Chen, this person died a bit tragically, his brains were smashed out."
"I know." Gu Chen took out the gold ingot in his hand and asked Gao Chuanfeng, "Where did you find this thing?"
"It's just his abdomen." Gao Chuanfeng pointed to the ground, and also reminded: "We moved the corpse just now, and when we turned his body around, we found that there was something hidden in his abdomen."
"I took it over and looked at it, and it turned out to be a gold ingot."
After thinking about it, Gao Chuanfeng immediately changed his words and said: "To be precise, it should be a gold-plated plastic toy, which is exactly the same as the real gold ingot, and it looks very realistic."
"If you don't know this, you really think you've found gold."
"Find gold?" Hearing what Gao Chuanfeng said, Gu Chen suddenly realized: "That's right, why didn't I think of it?"
"Junior Brother Gu, what did you think of?" Lu Weiwei, who was standing aside, was also very curious after hearing what Gu Chen said.
Gu Chen didn't answer directly, but hurriedly said to Liu Jingru who was standing in the distance: "Liu Jingru."
"Senior Gu Chen." Seeing Gu Chen calling her, Liu Jingru hurried over and asked Gu Chen, "Senior Gu Chen, what's the matter?"
"When the deceased died, did you find it? Or did you discover the deceased a long time after his death?" Gu Chen asked.
Liu Jingru hurriedly replied: "At that time, we were all new to the scene, so I was preparing some materials with the on-site staff and the logistics support department."
"Other club members also wandered around in their spare time, but they were all at the entrance."
"Only a small number of personnel from the logistics support department went to the site to survey the terrain. After all, they were here for the first time, so they were very curious about this site and wanted to collect some on-site obstacle data."
"And then?" Hearing what Lu Weiwei said, Gu Chen was even more puzzled.
The doubt lies in the fact that these logistics support personnel are on the scene for the first time.
But this is the first time I came to this abandoned factory, how could this kind of thing happen suddenly?
Especially this lame member of the logistics support department, who was accidentally hit by a falling object when he came here for the first time, died on the spot.
Moreover, the objects that fell from a high altitude looked like traps deliberately designed by people.
With the addition of this strange gold ingot, Gu Chen felt even more that this accident did not seem to be an accident.
Also seeing Gu Chen's serious expression, Liu Jingru also replied seriously: "Later, we heard a scream, and many people heard it."
"Then, everyone swarmed and ran over according to the location of the sound source, and then saw him fall to the ground, dead on the spot, and his brain..."
Speaking of this, Liu Jingru seemed to have a conditioned reflex, and she couldn't help covering her mouth and nose, and said a little uncomfortable: "I just found out that his brain was cracked, and the scene was horrible."
"Then it only depends on whether you have followed my request and immediately sealed off the scene of the incident?" Gu Chen asked again.
"Yes." Hearing Gu Chen's speech, Liu Jingru nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and then hurriedly replied:
"When I saw this scene, I called you as soon as possible, and then you told me on the phone to protect the scene."
"Then, I will follow your instructions and ask the staff not to touch the corpse, then retreat to a certain distance and do not approach."
After a pause, Liu Jingru said again: "But some people want to go and see the corpse, especially the colleagues of the deceased."
"I was afraid that these people would destroy the scene, so I ordered them to stay away from the corpse, but I was afraid that they would not listen, so I stood by myself at the closest position to the corpse and stopped everyone until you arrived."
Speaking of this, Liu Jingru also let out a long sigh, feeling where did she have the courage at that time? A person stood by the corpse, waiting until Gu Chen's arrival.
Gu Chen nodded slightly, and asked again: "Did you notice at that time that someone had quietly walked down from above?"
"Above?" Hearing Gu Chen's words, Liu Jingru was a little dazed, and subconsciously followed Gu Chen's prompt, raised her head and glanced at the position above, shook her head immediately, and said involuntarily:
"No, there's never been any movement from up there."
"I was even afraid of falling objects, so I stared at the top twice, but I didn't find any movement."
"Really?" Lu Weiwei walked over after examining the corpse.
Liu Jingru nodded fiercely: "Really, because if someone comes down from above, even if it comes down quietly, there should be some movement, right?"
"Although my back is facing the corpse, I can still hear the movement around me clearly."
"That's right." Hearing what Liu Jingru said, Gu Chen also nodded slightly, and said slowly:
"I went up with Senior Brother Wang to check the situation just now. When climbing, it is inevitable that there will be a 'dong dong' movement, and the movement is very obvious."
"If someone comes down quietly, there will be a movement, there is no reason why they can't hear it."
"Junior Brother Gu, according to you, there is no one there? This long steel plate fell from a high altitude by itself, and then hit the dead again?"
Hearing Lu Weiwei's speech, Gu Chen shook his head.
"No?" Lu Weiwei was a little dazed, and asked again: "How did the long steel plate fall?"
"I'm not sure yet, but from the investigation of the situation above with Senior Brother Wang just now, it seems that someone moved this long steel plate to the edge in advance."
"Then the long steel plate fell down and hit the dead man."
"It's such a coincidence?" Liu Jingru also felt that Gu Chen seemed to be exaggerating.
But Gu Chen pointed to the corpse in front of him and reminded: "If the deceased really passed by here normally and was hit by a long steel plate that fell accidentally, it can only be said that he was unlucky."
"But if it's this..."
While speaking, Gu Chen weighed the gold-plated plastic gold ingot in his hand, and said: "If this happened to the deceased at the scene, would he stop? Then pick up this gold ingot?"
"You mean... this gold ingot is actually the culprit who induced the deceased to stop?" Lu Weiwei understood Gu Chen's meaning and asked curiously.
Gu Chen nodded slightly, and said truthfully: "We checked the top just now and found some suspicious signs of wear and tear."
"The specific manifestation is that two-thirds of the long steel plate used to be in the inner position, and the entire top corner position has an inward slope."
"Then if it is impossible for the long steel plate to fall from above under such circumstances, but it did fall, what does that mean?"
"Explain...explain that the long steel plate must be at least half of its length and be suspended outside before it can fall."
Lu Weiwei quickly followed Gu Chen's train of thought and understood what Gu Chen meant.
Gu Chen snapped his fingers, and then said again: "What I want to say is this. Obviously, the position of the wear marks on the long steel plate shows that two-thirds of the long steel plate was once inside, but why? Would it suddenly fall? Isn't that strange?"
"The only explanation that can be explained is that someone saw that the long steel plate was moved to the inner two-thirds of the position, placed it temporarily, and then after confirming the position, only one half of the long steel plate, or slightly less than half of it, was moved. One position, placed in the specified position."
Speaking of this, Gu Chen directly raised his head and pointed upwards, and continued: "Look, there is only this place on the top of this abandoned boiler building, which is a protruding part."
"And below, it happens to be this concrete trail."
"The two sides of the cement path have already been covered by vegetation, and the passable area is only one meter wide."
"If someone took out the protruding part on the top and dropped the object freely, would it just hit the place where the deceased fell to the ground?"
Hearing what Gu Chen said, the scene suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at the scene, thinking about Gu Chen's question just now.
"Then you have to calculate the time, right? It's like the time for the deceased to pass through." The forensic doctor Gao Chuanfeng said.
Gu Chen took out the gold-plated plastic gold ingot in his hand again, and said, "This is the key to solving the problem."
"The key to solving the problem?" Gao Chuanfeng was startled when he heard Gu Chen's words.
But Lu Weiwei, who reacted half a beat quickly, quickly snapped her fingers and said, "I see, this is indeed the crux of the problem."
After taking the gold ingot in Gu Chen's hand, Lu Weiwei quickly explained: "It was because there was a gold ingot on the ground that the deceased walked over out of curiosity, wanting to pick it up and see what happened."
"In this way, the deceased will stay at this place for a short time, thus buying time for the falling objects."
As soon as the words fell, Lu Weiwei suddenly became confused again: "But it's not right, although these conditions of Junior Brother Gu are all established, it seems to be able to prove that someone is deliberately designing a trap."
"If you want to drop a long steel plate of this weight level directly from a high altitude, someone must do it yourself?"
"But you also went up just now, and Liu Jingru also said that after the accidental death of the deceased, no one climbed down from the top, which means that there was no one on top."
"But since there is no one on top, why was the deceased so accurately smashed to death? This means that if the deceased happened to pick up the gold ingot, he was also accurately captured by the murderer, which caused the long steel plate to fall quickly."
After a pause, Lu Weiwei also took a deep breath, trying to adjust her breathing rhythm, and then said:
"But how did this person disappear out of thin air? Could this guy fly away by himself?"
Although Gu Chen did give a lot of doubts, he even guessed how this gold-plated gold ingot product lured the deceased to stop, and was finally crushed to death by the long steel plate that had been positioned.
But all these operations seem to need people to complete, but people? It doesn't seem to exist at all.
This inevitably made Lu Weiwei confused.
Of course, it wasn't just Lu Weiwei who were also confused, but Police Officer Wang, Gao Chuanfeng, and Liu Jingru were all like this.
At this moment, Officer Wang crossed his arms and couldn't help but sighed, "That's right, I went up with Gu Chen just now, and I did see some problems with the friction marks on the scene."
"Based on the analysis just now by Bao Chen, it is true that someone temporarily placed the long steel plate in the two-thirds of the inner position to prevent it from falling."
"Then, in order to let the long steel plate fall, it moved to half of it. This is all possible."
"Because the friction marks on the site are still relatively new, they are still somewhat different from the rusty steel structures around them."
"What about people? If you can't find the culprit, it's hard to make a claim." Although Gao Chuanfeng gradually agreed with Gu Chen's analysis.
However, when handling a case, one needs to talk about evidence. Even if Gu Chen reasoned logically based on the situation at the scene, if the perpetrator cannot be found, then everything will be useless.
Gu Chen also nodded silently, a little guilty: "This is the reason why I was in trouble, because according to the actual situation, the murderer should indeed be hiding above."
"Could it be that the murderer is still hiding in a certain corner above? After all, this steel frame structure has been half demolished, and this is the only way to get down, unless..."
"Unless the murderer uses the ropes to quickly descend and evacuate from another perspective after committing the crime." At this time, Gao Chuanfeng gave another possibility.
But Gu Chen shook his head, and directly denied it: "This possibility, I have repeatedly observed it when I checked it from above. Except for the place where it fell, there are a few traces of friction."
"Anywhere in the other corners, there is no trace of friction, and there is no place to tie the rope."
"That's right." As soon as Gu Chen's voice fell, Liu Jingru, who stood aside for a long time and couldn't get in, hurriedly reminded:
"This abandoned steel frame structure has some columns underneath, which are in a suspended state."
"If someone made a cable drop, it would definitely be easy to be discovered, and as soon as the deceased made a movement, many of us had already rushed to the scene, and the timing was very tight."
"But in such a short period of time, how could the murderer drop from a high altitude? This time is not allowed?"
After a pause, seeing that everyone was looking at her at this moment, Liu Jingru also continued:
"Besides, if someone is lowered, it should be assumed that there are so many people staying at the scene. Once the murderer is lowered into the surrounding weeds, there will be a lot of noise, such as 'swish', It’s also easy to get our attention.”
"That is to say, after the incident, there was no murderer at all?" Lu Weiwei looked around, feeling more and more that the logistics support staff seemed to have died too strangely.
The scene was quiet again.
Although according to the known conditions, everyone has found out many possibilities of homicide.
However, how the murderer quietly left the scene after precise planning, so that no one would notice, seems to be a difficult problem before everyone.
In particular, the possibility of the murderer's evacuation method was rejected by everyone here, which made the on-site investigation even more weird.
...
"No...it's not that you wait a little longer." Feeling a bit confused, Gao Chuanfeng repeated it again: "I told you a good news, but then you want to tell me a bad news? Gu Chen, you want revenge what?" "Don't talk about whether it's useful or not. There was an accident at the training ground of the Traversing Machine Racing Competition. I'm going to the scene right away. Hurry up too." Gu Chen took a deep breath, trying to adjust his breathing rhythm, and then said: "I'll send you the address right away, that's all for now, see you at the place where the incident happened." "What?" After hearing Gu Chen's words, Gao Chuanfeng became even more confused: "An accident happened again?" ... ... 3:50 p.m. The old site of the abandoned steel factory in the west of the city, at this moment, the surroundings are already full of discussions. According to Gu Chen's intention, Liu Jingru has already arranged staff to protect the scene. But it is difficult for a weak girl to command these big and three thick guys. Many people agree to it on the surface, but they walk around at will. This brings great trouble to the protection site. So Liu Jingru could only find an on-site staff member to block the way out. On the other hand, he stayed near the corpse, stopped everyone from approaching, and prevented everyone from approaching the corpse. But seeing such a tragic scene at close range, Liu Jingru was also terrified. He could only turn his back to the corpse, trying not to look at the miserable scene. Fortunately, at this moment, Gu Chen had already driven a police car, and brought Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha to the scene. After getting off the car, Yuan Shasha took out the cordon and wrapped the exit of the scene to prevent everyone from leaving the scene. And Gu Chen took Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang, and according to the guidance of the crowd, they walked all the way to a narrow path deep in the abandoned steel factory. At this moment, Liu Jingru was still standing there blankly, her legs were trembling, and she seemed to be unable to hold on any longer. The moment she saw Gu Chen and the others coming, she breathed a sigh of relief and hurried towards them. "Senior Gu Chen." Liu Jingru said out of breath, feeling extremely nervous. Gu Chen glanced behind Liu Jingru, only to find that a man wearing a work vest was lying on the ground at the moment, and there was a bloody smell around him. At this moment, Gu Chen didn't care too much, and hurried over in small steps. Followed by Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang, the three of them surrounded the corpse familiarly. Although it was not the first time for everyone to see the corpse, the tragic scene at the scene still made everyone a little sick. "Is this brain smashed like this? Isn't it too miserable?" Although Lu Weiwei was wearing a mask, she subconsciously covered her mouth and nose. Police officer Wang looked up at the surrounding environment, and couldn't help complaining: "This guy is unlucky enough, how could an accident happen in this place?" Gu Chen didn't speak, and at the same time that Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang were inspecting the body, Gu Chen immediately began to observe the surrounding environment. It is in a narrow passage, and on both sides are various iron frame buildings with strange structures, all of which are about 20 meters high. On both sides of this narrow concrete passage, all kinds of weeds have already grown, and because few people walk around, the surrounding weeds are also quite lush. It has already spread from the roadside area to the middle area of the cement trail. Therefore, the concrete path, which was originally the width of a one-way street, now only has a distance of about one meter in the middle, which can be barely passed. The surrounding sides have long been covered with various weeds. "How did this guy come to such a place?" Gu Chen was a little puzzled, turned to look at Liu Jingru who was still trembling, and asked her: "Liu Jingru." "Ah?" Liu Jingru's body trembled, and only then did she react from the sluggish state just now, and quickly stepped forward to ask Gu Chen: "Why... what's wrong, senior Gu Chen?" "Why did this person appear here?" Gu Chen asked her. "Oh, it's because you need to be familiar with the venue." Liu Jingru took a deep breath, trying to calm down, and quickly replied to Gu Chen. "Is this the so-called third competition venue?" At this moment, Officer Wang also walked over from the corpse. Liu Jingru nodded fiercely: "Well, this is the final venue of the Jiangnan City sub-station of this FPV time-traveling machine racing competition, the abandoned steel factory." "Here, the final winner of the competition will be determined. Our organizer has only completed the layout of this venue in the past few days. Originally, we wanted you to come to train at night." Speaking of this, Liu Jingru suddenly remembered how she was called to the Furong branch just now, and was interrogated one by one by everyone, and she felt embarrassed for a while. "So, the deceased came to this narrow passage for the purpose of surveying the site, but was accidentally crushed to death by a falling object, right?" Gu Chen looked around and asked. Liu Jingru nodded silently: "Maybe so." "What was the object that hit the deceased?" Gu Chen said. Liu Jingru looked around, then pointed to a steel bar in the lawn and said, "This is it?" After the words fell, Gu Chen and the others looked at the lawn together. Gu Chen hurried up a few steps, squatted down, and picked up the steel bar beside him with his white-gloved hands. But when he lifted it up, Gu Chen could clearly feel the weight of the steel bar, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "This steel bar is not light, but how could it fall from a high altitude?" "I don't know about this. It may be an abandoned steel factory. Many parts are already aging, right? The steel may have been welded on it before, but after the wind and rain, it has some signs of falling off." After all, Liu Jingru didn't know the specific situation very well, so she could only explain it casually based on her own imagination. Gu Chen couldn't help shaking his head, and hurriedly reminded: "Senior Sister Lu, Senior Brother Wang, and Jingru, all of you, be careful and pay attention to the falling objects on your heads." "Maybe this steel bar was the first one to fall, but it wasn't the last one." "That's right, Liu Jingru, you'd better get out of here quickly and stand outside in a safe area." Officer Wang was reminded, and hurriedly urged Liu Jingru to leave the incident area as soon as possible. Liu Jingru nodded silently, and quickly left the range with small steps. At this moment, Lu Weiwei also took out her mobile phone and hurriedly took pictures around the deceased to collect evidence. After a burst of full-angle shooting, Lu Weiwei reminded Gu Chen: "Junior Brother Gu, do me a favor. Position the corpse and move it around. I want to see his face clearly." "No problem." Hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Gu Chen took out a white paintbrush from the portable toolbox, and began to trace along the outline of the deceased's death area with the white paintbrush. After it was finished, he and Police Officer Wang carefully turned the body over, preparing for Lu Weiwei to take a set of frontal photos. But at the moment when Gu Chen turned the corpse from the prostrate state to the supine state, Gu Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly found that this person seemed to have known him before. "What? You know him?" Seeing Gu Chen's surprised face, Lu Weiwei asked him curiously. "That's right, I did meet this logistics support person, he was at the hotel where we were staying." After turning the corpse over, Gu Chen also stood up straight, feeling a wave of thought and fear. Lu Weiwei quickly pointed the phone lens at the screen, quickly took a few frontal photos, then raised her head, and continued to ask Gu Chen: "But why don't I have an impression?" "He has an injury on his leg, and he walks with a limp." Gu Chen continued to remind. Police officer Wang suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "So it's him? I saw him before when I was having breakfast in the hotel restaurant." "I remember it too." Hearing Officer Wang's words, Lu Weiwei also seemed to have an impression. When everyone was staying at the hotel for breakfast, these people would often eat at the hotel. At that time, among the personnel of the Technical Support Department, Lu Weiwei did notice a man walking with a limp, so she just took a second look. But now I didn't expect that the man at that time was still lying on the ground at this moment, his brain was cracked, and the scene was very miserable. "There seems to be something wrong with this person." Gu Chen didn't know how to explain it, so he couldn't help but mutter. Lu Weiwei raised her head and asked, "Which problem do you mean?" "The eyes, especially the eyes that look at me." Gu Chen didn't hide it. After all, the lame man had died unexpectedly. Gu Chen simply expressed his doubts one by one: "The first time I saw him before, it was at the door of the corridor where we checked into the hotel room." "He was following a group of staff and passed me by." "At that time, I felt that there was something wrong with the way this person looked at me, as if he was dodging." "Later, when he passed by me, he deliberately avoided his eyes. At that time, he thought it was my eyes. He was a little embarrassed, so he looked away." After a pause, Gu Chen said again: "But later, when they were in the restaurant, they left early." "When I was leaving, the crippled man secretly looked at me again. When I found out, he quickly averted his gaze." "It feels like he has been avoiding me, but he has been paying attention to me." "Maybe it's because I think you're handsome." Lu Weiwei also joked casually. The originally tense atmosphere was suddenly shattered by Lu Weiwei's words. Officer Wang also said angrily, "Lu Weiwei, can you be more serious?" "Old Wang, I'm already very serious. There seems to be a lot of passers-by who pay more attention to my junior brother, right? It's not surprising." Turning her head to look at Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei immediately said again: "But Junior Brother Gu feels something is wrong, so there must be something wrong, maybe this person has a ghost in his heart?" "Forget about that, I have to go up and see the situation." Gu Chen didn't care too much now, after all, people were killed by falling objects, Gu Chen felt that it was necessary for him to go up and see the situation. At this moment, another vehicle approached in the distance. Gu Chen looked back and saw that the person who came was Gao Chuanfeng's forensic team from the technical department of the Municipal Bureau. Gu Chen simply told Lu Weiwei: "Senior Sister Lu, you stay here and meet Gao Chuanfeng and the others. Senior Brother Wang and I will go up to see the situation." "Then be careful." Lu Weiwei hurriedly reminded Gu Chen when she heard Gu Chen's words. "Yes." Gu Chen didn't think much, glanced at Police Officer Wang behind him, and the two of them immediately walked towards the iron frame along the place where the weeds were scarce. The structure of this location is rather weird, similar to the location of a boiler, surrounded by iron ladders. To get to the top, you need to keep climbing, similar to the water tower climbing structure. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Gu Chen and Police Officer Wang were holding on to the iron railing, and every time they took a step, there would be a thumping sound. And the iron plate under the feet will also drop some fine rust powder from time to time due to friction. Since the guardrail of the climbing iron frame is at the waist position, the safety of the two is still guaranteed. But when Gu Chen and Police Officer Wang climbed to the topmost position, they saw the figures below, as if they were the size of ants. "Gu Chen, is it safe up there?" Officer Wang followed behind Gu Chen, also curiously asking. Gu Chen nodded silently: "It's safe, and it's quite empty." "Then go up and have a look, and go back if there is no problem." Officer Wang doesn't like to climb such dangerous places. The last time I went to climb the water tower with Gu Chen, Police Officer Wang still remembers it vividly. That level of thrill is much more dangerous than it is now. Fortunately, there are sufficient safety guarantees around the equipment structure of the steel plant, and the guardrails are also much more reliable. After observing for a while, Gu Chen prepared to climb up to the top of the boiler. However, he suddenly discovered that there seemed to be some obvious scratches on the position where he was climbing. Immediately, Gu Chen stopped moving again. Officer Wang saw that Gu Chen was about to go up, but he stopped moving forward. Officer Wang, who was blocked behind, also hurriedly asked Gu Chen, "Gu Chen, what's wrong?" "Nothing? It feels like someone has been here before." Gu Chen said casually, climbing up again. Afterwards, he grabbed Officer Wang and brought Officer Wang up with him. The two stood on top of what resembled a boiler. At this moment, the wind in the ear is also increasing. Standing at get off work, I still don't feel much impact. But once standing on a high place, there are not many blocking objects around, so the sound of the wind in the ears also becomes howling. "Be careful, Senior Brother Wang, this may be equipment that has been dismantled, and many structures are damaged." Gu Chen said. "That's right." According to Gu Chen's reminder, Police Officer Wang couldn't help but look around, and echoed: "All the surrounding objects have been demolished, leaving only the main structure. It is estimated that it is difficult to dismantle, so it is temporarily preserved and waits for it to be dismantled in the future." "But even so, there are no defective items left here." Gu Chen walked to a structural steel frame, flipped it a few times at random, and confirmed that it was very strong. Police Officer Wang looked around, wondering, "Then why did this steel bar fall from the edge?" "If this kind of steel is randomly discarded at the corner of the dismantled abandoned boiler, it is quite dangerous. Anyway, this kind of steel rod must be returned to its place." "It should be here." Gu Chen pointed out the approximate location as soon as Officer Wang finished speaking. Afterwards, the two quickly trotted all the way to the position above where the incident happened just now. Slowly approaching the corner, both Gu Chen and Police Officer Wang chose to crawl to avoid accidents. At this moment, the bottom is where the deceased fell to the ground, surrounded by a group of people, it should be Lu Weiwei and Gao Chuanfeng's team. It seemed that she saw herself and Police Officer Wang, and Lu Weiwei who was below suddenly shouted: "Junior Brother Gu, Old Wang, did you find anything up there?" "Not yet." Officer Wang also replied loudly. "If you don't find anything, come down quickly, it's very dangerous up there." Lu Weiwei was actually worried about Gu Chen's safety, so she said it casually. Officer Wang immediately retracted his head, reminding Gu Chen, "Gu Chen, I don't think there is any problem here." "Senior Brother Wang." As soon as Police Officer Wang finished speaking, Gu Chen pointed to the place beside him and said, "The steel bars should have fallen from here." "That's right, it fell from here, you can tell by the wear marks on the corners." Officer Wang also confirmed Gu Chen's words. But Gu Chen shook his head and continued to remind: "Take a closer look, do you see any problems?" Police officer Wang stared blankly, and then followed Gu Chen's prompt to carefully observe the corners of the top of the scrapped boiler. After a while, Police Officer Wang said again: "There is no problem with the wear marks, but the problem is how did this steel bar appear at the corner? This arrangement is too scary." "That's not the point." Seeing that Police Officer Wang hadn't found the problem yet, Gu Chen quickly explained: "This steel bar, or a steel springboard is more suitable, and the length is about one meter." "But if you want to let the long steel plate fall, it seems that you need a reasonable angle." "You mean..." Hearing what Gu Chen said, Police Officer Wang seemed to realize something again, and hurriedly said: "You mean... at least half of the long steel plate must be suspended?" "That's right." Seeing that Police Officer Wang had already discovered the problem, Gu Chen pointed to the location of the wear marks on the long steel plate and explained: "Look here, and here." Gu Chen used his finger as a size and began to measure it. He couldn't help but say, "Judging from these wear marks, the long steel plate has not been in this position for a long time, otherwise the marks would be quite obvious." "Secondly, there are friction marks on the long steel plate. Look here, it is obviously 70 centimeters in length." "And if you look at the angle of this edge position, it is obviously a horizontal position, and there is even an inward slanting state." "I understand what you mean." Listening to Gu Chen's careful explanation, Police Officer Wang suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "You mean, this is actually two-thirds of the place with the long steel plate, or in other words, there is more The long position is inside." "And if this is the case, with the weight of the long steel plate itself, it is impossible for it to fall, right?" "That's right." Gu Chen also meant exactly this, so he continued: "Theoretically speaking, even if there is a stronger wind force, it will not be able to bring too many external factors to the long steel plate." "Because according to the consideration of the long steel plate and the position of the corners, the long steel plate must be half of the position outside the edge, so that it may tilt and fall from above." "From the on-site friction traces, it is obvious that there is also a truncated wear mark at the position of 70 centimeters. This should be the trace of friction at the top kerf position of the long steel plate." "It's clear that two-thirds of the place is inside, but why is it tilted?" "Or, when someone moved the long steel plate to the corner and was about to determine the direction of the fall, they deliberately put the steel plate down temporarily to prevent the steel plate from falling directly." "And after the specific range was determined, the long steel plate was slowly moved to a suitable position, and this was the reason for the subsequent fall?" As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Police Officer Wang was also on the spot in a daze. After a few seconds, Officer Wang thought about it and said, "It seems reasonable to hear what you said, Gu Chen. Could it be that all of this is secretly manipulated by someone behind the scenes?" "The purpose is to let this steel plate fall down accurately and hit the dead man's head directly?" After thinking about it, Police Officer Wang immediately denied himself: "That's not right, if someone was secretly hiding on top of this, then after the murderer committed the crime, logically speaking, the murderer should have five ways to retreat, right?" "Besides, after the deceased was hit, he was also surrounded by people at the scene. Even if the murderer wanted to escape at this time, it would be impossible, right?" When Gu Chen saw this, he also reminded: "Besides, I had asked Liu Jingru to protect the scene at that time, and no one would go near the corpse any more." "Moreover." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Police Officer Wang continued to add: "And at that time, Liu Jingru was standing beside the corpse, protecting the corpse from being destroyed." "If the murderer wants to escape during this time period, it is almost impossible, because someone is guarding the corpse below, and there is only one passage from the top to the bottom. Could it be that the murderer can fly away?" Feeling that the scene was getting weirder and weirder, Gu Chen also found too many traces that were difficult to explain. After thinking about it, he simply said: "Brother Wang, why don't we go down first and see what's going on with the corpse?" "It's fine, anyway, I don't want to stay on top." Hearing Gu Chen's words, Police Officer Wang got up straight away, patted the rust on his clothes, and then started to return the same way. Gu Chen took out his mobile phone and began to take pictures of the traces of the scene. Then he followed Police Officer Wang and climbed to the bottom of the passage just now. At this moment, seeing that both of them were safe, Lu Weiwei hurried over and held a metal object in her hand: "Look at this." "What is this?" Officer Wang, who was wearing white gloves, took a look at it, and immediately began to fiddle with it in his hand, murmuring involuntarily: "Isn't this just a small gold ingot? Is it gold-plated?" Officer Wang weighed it in his hand a few times before asking Lu Weiwei curiously: "Where did you get all this? If you don't know, you really think it's an ingot of gold." "It was found from under the body of the deceased." Lu Weiwei said. "You found it from under the corpse?" Hearing what Lu Weiwei said, Gu Chen hurriedly took the gold ingot from Police Officer Wang's book, and couldn't help walking to the corpse. At this moment, Gao Chuanfeng's team is doing an on-site inspection of the corpse. Seeing that Gu Chen had come to his side, he also said curiously: "Gu Chen, this person died a bit tragically, his brains were smashed out." "I know." Gu Chen took out the gold ingot in his hand and asked Gao Chuanfeng, "Where did you find this thing?" "It's just his abdomen." Gao Chuanfeng pointed to the ground, and also reminded: "We moved the corpse just now, and when we turned his body around, we found that there was something hidden in his abdomen." "I took it over and looked at it, and it turned out to be a gold ingot." After thinking about it, Gao Chuanfeng immediately changed his words and said: "To be precise, it should be a gold-plated plastic toy, which is exactly the same as the real gold ingot, and it looks very realistic." "If you don't know this, you really think you've found gold." "Find gold?" Hearing what Gao Chuanfeng said, Gu Chen suddenly realized: "That's right, why didn't I think of it?" "Junior Brother Gu, what did you think of?" Lu Weiwei, who was standing aside, was also very curious after hearing what Gu Chen said. Gu Chen didn't answer directly, but hurriedly said to Liu Jingru who was standing in the distance: "Liu Jingru." "Senior Gu Chen." Seeing Gu Chen calling her, Liu Jingru hurried over and asked Gu Chen, "Senior Gu Chen, what's the matter?" "When the deceased died, did you find it? Or did you discover the deceased a long time after his death?" Gu Chen asked. Liu Jingru hurriedly replied: "At that time, we were all new to the scene, so I was preparing some materials with the on-site staff and the logistics support department." "Other club members also wandered around in their spare time, but they were all at the entrance." "Only a small number of personnel from the logistics support department went to the site to survey the terrain. After all, they were here for the first time, so they were very curious about this site and wanted to collect some on-site obstacle data." "And then?" Hearing what Lu Weiwei said, Gu Chen was even more puzzled. The doubt lies in the fact that these logistics support personnel are on the scene for the first time. But this is the first time I came to this abandoned factory, how could this kind of thing happen suddenly? Especially this lame member of the logistics support department, who was accidentally hit by a falling object when he came here for the first time, died on the spot. Moreover, the objects that fell from a high altitude looked like traps deliberately designed by people. With the addition of this strange gold ingot, Gu Chen felt even more that this accident did not seem to be an accident. Also seeing Gu Chen's serious expression, Liu Jingru also replied seriously: "Later, we heard a scream, and many people heard it." "Then, everyone swarmed and ran over according to the location of the sound source, and then saw him fall to the ground, dead on the spot, and his brain..." Speaking of this, Liu Jingru seemed to have a conditioned reflex, and she couldn't help covering her mouth and nose, and said a little uncomfortable: "I just found out that his brain was cracked, and the scene was horrible." "Then it only depends on whether you have followed my request and immediately sealed off the scene of the incident?" Gu Chen asked again. "Yes." Hearing Gu Chen's speech, Liu Jingru nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and then hurriedly replied: "When I saw this scene, I called you as soon as possible, and then you told me on the phone to protect the scene." "Then, I will follow your instructions and ask the staff not to touch the corpse, then retreat to a certain distance and do not approach." After a pause, Liu Jingru said again: "But some people want to go and see the corpse, especially the colleagues of the deceased." "I was afraid that these people would destroy the scene, so I ordered them to stay away from the corpse, but I was afraid that they would not listen, so I stood by myself at the closest position to the corpse and stopped everyone until you arrived." Speaking of this, Liu Jingru also let out a long sigh, feeling where did she have the courage at that time? A person stood by the corpse, waiting until Gu Chen's arrival. Gu Chen nodded slightly, and asked again: "Did you notice at that time that someone had quietly walked down from above?" "Above?" Hearing Gu Chen's words, Liu Jingru was a little dazed, and subconsciously followed Gu Chen's prompt, raised her head and glanced at the position above, shook her head immediately, and said involuntarily: "No, there's never been any movement from up there." "I was even afraid of falling objects, so I stared at the top twice, but I didn't find any movement." "Really?" Lu Weiwei walked over after examining the corpse. Liu Jingru nodded fiercely: "Really, because if someone comes down from above, even if it comes down quietly, there should be some movement, right?" "Although my back is facing the corpse, I can still hear the movement around me clearly." "That's right." Hearing what Liu Jingru said, Gu Chen also nodded slightly, and said slowly: "I went up with Senior Brother Wang to check the situation just now. When climbing, it is inevitable that there will be a 'dong dong' movement, and the movement is very obvious." "If someone comes down quietly, there will be a movement, there is no reason why they can't hear it." "Junior Brother Gu, according to you, there is no one there? This long steel plate fell from a high altitude by itself, and then hit the dead again?" Hearing Lu Weiwei's speech, Gu Chen shook his head. "No?" Lu Weiwei was a little dazed, and asked again: "How did the long steel plate fall?" "I'm not sure yet, but from the investigation of the situation above with Senior Brother Wang just now, it seems that someone moved this long steel plate to the edge in advance." "Then the long steel plate fell down and hit the dead man." "It's such a coincidence?" Liu Jingru also felt that Gu Chen seemed to be exaggerating. But Gu Chen pointed to the corpse in front of him and reminded: "If the deceased really passed by here normally and was hit by a long steel plate that fell accidentally, it can only be said that he was unlucky." "But if it's this..." While speaking, Gu Chen weighed the gold-plated plastic gold ingot in his hand, and said: "If this happened to the deceased at the scene, would he stop? Then pick up this gold ingot?" "You mean... this gold ingot is actually the culprit who induced the deceased to stop?" Lu Weiwei understood Gu Chen's meaning and asked curiously. Gu Chen nodded slightly, and said truthfully: "We checked the top just now and found some suspicious signs of wear and tear." "The specific manifestation is that two-thirds of the long steel plate used to be in the inner position, and the entire top corner position has an inward slope." "Then if it is impossible for the long steel plate to fall from above under such circumstances, but it did fall, what does that mean?" "Explain...explain that the long steel plate must be at least half of its length and be suspended outside before it can fall." Lu Weiwei quickly followed Gu Chen's train of thought and understood what Gu Chen meant. Gu Chen snapped his fingers, and then said again: "What I want to say is this. Obviously, the position of the wear marks on the long steel plate shows that two-thirds of the long steel plate was once inside, but why? Would it suddenly fall? Isn't that strange?" "The only explanation that can be explained is that someone saw that the long steel plate was moved to the inner two-thirds of the position, placed it temporarily, and then after confirming the position, only one half of the long steel plate, or slightly less than half of it, was moved. One position, placed in the specified position." Speaking of this, Gu Chen directly raised his head and pointed upwards, and continued: "Look, there is only this place on the top of this abandoned boiler building, which is a protruding part." "And below, it happens to be this concrete trail." "The two sides of the cement path have already been covered by vegetation, and the passable area is only one meter wide." "If someone took out the protruding part on the top and dropped the object freely, would it just hit the place where the deceased fell to the ground?" Hearing what Gu Chen said, the scene suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked at the scene, thinking about Gu Chen's question just now. "Then you have to calculate the time, right? It's like the time for the deceased to pass through." The forensic doctor Gao Chuanfeng said. Gu Chen took out the gold-plated plastic gold ingot in his hand again, and said, "This is the key to solving the problem." "The key to solving the problem?" Gao Chuanfeng was startled when he heard Gu Chen's words. But Lu Weiwei, who reacted half a beat quickly, quickly snapped her fingers and said, "I see, this is indeed the crux of the problem." After taking the gold ingot in Gu Chen's hand, Lu Weiwei quickly explained: "It was because there was a gold ingot on the ground that the deceased walked over out of curiosity, wanting to pick it up and see what happened." "In this way, the deceased will stay at this place for a short time, thus buying time for the falling objects." As soon as the words fell, Lu Weiwei suddenly became confused again: "But it's not right, although these conditions of Junior Brother Gu are all established, it seems to be able to prove that someone is deliberately designing a trap." "If you want to drop a long steel plate of this weight level directly from a high altitude, someone must do it yourself?" "But you also went up just now, and Liu Jingru also said that after the accidental death of the deceased, no one climbed down from the top, which means that there was no one on top." "But since there is no one on top, why was the deceased so accurately smashed to death? This means that if the deceased happened to pick up the gold ingot, he was also accurately captured by the murderer, which caused the long steel plate to fall quickly." After a pause, Lu Weiwei also took a deep breath, trying to adjust her breathing rhythm, and then said: "But how did this person disappear out of thin air? Could this guy fly away by himself?" Although Gu Chen did give a lot of doubts, he even guessed how this gold-plated gold ingot product lured the deceased to stop, and was finally crushed to death by the long steel plate that had been positioned. But all these operations seem to need people to complete, but people? It doesn't seem to exist at all. This inevitably made Lu Weiwei confused. Of course, it wasn't just Lu Weiwei who were also confused, but Police Officer Wang, Gao Chuanfeng, and Liu Jingru were all like this. At this moment, Officer Wang crossed his arms and couldn't help but sighed, "That's right, I went up with Gu Chen just now, and I did see some problems with the friction marks on the scene." "Based on the analysis just now by Bao Chen, it is true that someone temporarily placed the long steel plate in the two-thirds of the inner position to prevent it from falling." "Then, in order to let the long steel plate fall, it moved to half of it. This is all possible." "Because the friction marks on the site are still relatively new, they are still somewhat different from the rusty steel structures around them." "What about people? If you can't find the culprit, it's hard to make a claim." Although Gao Chuanfeng gradually agreed with Gu Chen's analysis. However, when handling a case, one needs to talk about evidence. Even if Gu Chen reasoned logically based on the situation at the scene, if the perpetrator cannot be found, then everything will be useless. Gu Chen also nodded silently, a little guilty: "This is the reason why I was in trouble, because according to the actual situation, the murderer should indeed be hiding above." "Could it be that the murderer is still hiding in a certain corner above? After all, this steel frame structure has been half demolished, and this is the only way to get down, unless..." "Unless the murderer uses the ropes to quickly descend and evacuate from another perspective after committing the crime." At this time, Gao Chuanfeng gave another possibility. But Gu Chen shook his head, and directly denied it: "This possibility, I have repeatedly observed it when I checked it from above. Except for the place where it fell, there are a few traces of friction." "Anywhere in the other corners, there is no trace of friction, and there is no place to tie the rope." "That's right." As soon as Gu Chen's voice fell, Liu Jingru, who stood aside for a long time and couldn't get in, hurriedly reminded: "This abandoned steel frame structure has some columns underneath, which are in a suspended state." "If someone made a cable drop, it would definitely be easy to be discovered, and as soon as the deceased made a movement, many of us had already rushed to the scene, and the timing was very tight." "But in such a short period of time, how could the murderer drop from a high altitude? This time is not allowed?" After a pause, seeing that everyone was looking at her at this moment, Liu Jingru also continued: "Besides, if someone is lowered, it should be assumed that there are so many people staying at the scene. Once the murderer is lowered into the surrounding weeds, there will be a lot of noise, such as 'swish', It's also easy to get our attention. "That is to say, after the incident, there was no murderer at all?" Lu Weiwei looked around, feeling more and more that the logistics support staff seemed to have died too strangely. The scene was quiet again. Although according to the known conditions, everyone has found out many possibilities of homicide. However, how the murderer quietly left the scene after precise planning, so that no one would notice, seems to be a difficult problem before everyone. In particular, the possibility of the murderer's evacuation method was rejected by everyone here, which made the on-site investigation even more weird. ...
