Someone has a crush on Forensic Gu

Chapter 43 The Man Who Lives in the Corner

Meng Lan told Mo Lin about the supernatural events that happened last night with rich details and vivid descriptions. This level of narration is almost as good as that of a master storyteller.

Mo Lin—has been listening to her very carefully, which makes Meng Lan feel that what she said is taken seriously.

After she finished speaking, Mo Lin casually tapped twice on the table with his fingertips: "Can you draw the scene from last night?"

He handed Menglan a pen and paper: "Don't worry about whether the drawing is good or not, just draw what you want to express on it."

Meng Lan took the pen and paper, and carefully recalled the scene last night, she drew two strokes: "Can you stop looking at me, you look at me, I can't draw..."

Mo Lin simply got up to get a glass of water, stood in front of the window and looked at the scenery outside the window, it is now October, the weather is getting colder, many people on the street are wearing coats and trousers, only those hot beauties still don't know Autumn, showing two eye-catching long legs, wandering on the street.

Meng Lan slowly began to draw on the paper, and after about ten minutes, she picked it up and looked at it, making sure that she had finished the drawing and there was nothing to fill in.

"Teacher Mo, I'm done!" Meng Lan handed the pencil drawing in her hand to Mo Lin.

Mo Lin glanced at it: "The painting is not bad."

In fact, it can only barely be seen as a human being, but it is enough.

The lines on the paper are drawn very lightly, it is the figure of a man, and the facial features are drawn by Meng Lan without any sense of structure, like a distorted grimace.

Although it is a stick figure, it can still be seen that the man is wearing a jacket and trousers. The background is sharp and angular, and it can be seen that it is the corner of the wall.

"Which side is the window?" Mo Lin asked.

"To the left of it, this position..." Meng Lan pointed to Mo Lin.

"I don't think it's an illusion," Mo Lin said, "You have a clear perception of time and space, and you haven't found any flaws in the details. The clothes on this person match the current season. As for the facial features of this person ...people are impressed by certain details in a frightened state, so there's nothing wrong with the face being more detailed than the rest of the picture."

Meng Lan was a little frightened: "Mr. Mo, what do you mean... I really saw him... not a hallucination?"

Mo Lin smiled, put the water glass on the table, raised his hand to look at his watch: "Let's go, go and see the scene, maybe he hasn't left yet..."

"...I don't want it!" Menglan shuddered suddenly, she was very resistant in her heart.

"The most direct way to overcome fear is to face it. Don't you want to know the answer?"

Meng Lan thought about it for a while, and felt that it made sense, so she got up from her seat: "Since you've said that, let's go all out... But Teacher Mo, let's encourage some brave people..."

Mo Lin suddenly smiled and said, "There's a brave guy at the end of the corridor."

"You mean Gu Yuan?"

When Meng Lan thought of Gu Yuan, a gloomy face appeared in her mind: "When I was young, I heard the old man say that ghosts are afraid of people with murderous intent. It would be best if Gu Yuan went together..."

After Mo Lin heard this sentence, he pressed his forehead and smiled for a while: "If you say that, he will definitely not go."

Meng Lan: "Then how can we let him go with us... we can't steal the key again."

"After what happened last time, he changed the fingerprint lock. It's quite smart...don't worry, as long as it's related to the case, he won't refuse."

After Mo Lin finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Gu Yuan.

- A few minutes later, someone knocked on the door of Mo Lin's office, Gu Yuan pushed the door open, stood outside the door frame - said impatiently: "Are you ready?"

Mo Lin picked up his coat and said to Meng Lan, "How about it, I'm right."

Meng Lan pursed her lips, thinking: Teacher Mo and Gu Yuan said that the suspect went to the fourth floor, is this really a lie?After all, it's not clear whether the other party is a human or a ghost...... Anyway, it doesn't matter, let's get Gu Yuan there first!

The three drove to Yumi Lane. Gu Yuan was the first to open the co-pilot's door and walked down. He stood at the stairs of the first floor and observed the position of the lower wooden door and the cordon.

The wooden door was moved away - there was a very narrow gap, and the ability to pass through this gap showed that the suspect was relatively thin.

Gu Yuan put on his shoe covers, opened the door, and walked sideways into the corridor.

Most of the light was blocked by the door panel, and it was dark inside. He turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone and found fresh footprints in the corridor, so he took out a tape measure from his trouser pocket and squatted down to measure the length and width of the footprints.

Mo Lin came up and stood behind him wearing shoe covers: "Hmm... what did you find?"

Gu Yuan: "The length of the feet is 23cm, and the preliminary estimate is that the height is around 160. The body is thin, and the possibility of a woman is high."

Mo Lin nodded thoughtfully: "It's pretty accurate."

After speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Meng Lan standing behind him.

Meng Lan touched the back of her neck, feeling embarrassed.

In an emergency last night, she forgot to put on her shoe covers.

The three continued to walk up the stairs. When they reached the fourth floor, Meng Lan suddenly stopped and refused to go any further. She hid behind Mo Lin, her face gradually turned pale, and she still had lingering fears about what happened last night. .

Gu Yuan found two different footprints on the floor of the house, one of which was the same as the one seen at the stairs, and the other looked strange, and the shoe size was obviously much larger.

He squatted down and measured the footprint that looked a little bigger: "The length of the foot is 26cm."

Meng Lan woke up like a dream when she heard it, and went up to look curiously. The footprints looked very new, and they were traces of human beings, not traces of other things.

She was a little thankful, and took a long breath: "I thought I really saw a ghost last night!"

Gu Yuan seemed to have noticed the problem in Meng Lan's words, raised his head to look at her, and frowned: "Did you come here yesterday?"

His eyes moved down, and finally landed on Meng Lan's feet wearing shoe covers: "Is that footprint yours?"

Meng Lan nodded: "I was in a hurry to arrest people last night, and I forgot to wear shoe covers."

"What about people?" Gu Yuan asked.

"I... didn't catch it..." Meng Lan fiddled with her fingers, her face embarrassed.

"Obviously, the man came up from here." Gu Yuan didn't continue to ask about what happened last night, pointing to the hole with a diameter of one meter on the ground and said: "There is no footprint of him on the corridor."

Mo Lin walked to the edge of the pit, looked down, and found a foldable stainless steel ladder leaning against the wall of the third floor. It seemed that the person had indeed climbed up from the third floor.

Gu Yuan caught a glimpse of a pile of fresh black ashes at the window, he walked over and squatted on the ground to check.

Although the pile of ashes was burned cleanly, the original general outline can still be seen clearly. This kind of ashes is very similar to the paper money burned when paying homage to the dead. Probably because of the wind, some of the ashes were blown to other places. Scattered on the ground.

"Sometimes people dream about the dead, and they will interpret it as the dead person's dream, and feel that as long as they burn paper money for the dead, the other person will not come back to dream..." Mo Lin said: "It seems that someone is having a nightmare. "

"Could this person be the murderer?" Meng Lan asked.

"Would the murderer be stupid enough to return to the scene of the crime and leave footprints, and you just happened to see it?" Gu Yuan said in such a tone that Meng Lan was speechless.

Meng Lan swallowed, and decided to keep her mouth shut.

Mo Lin dragged his chin and thought: "Although he doesn't look like a murderer, there must be something wrong with this person."

Gu Yuan agreed with Mo Lin's opinion: "Go to 301."

The owner of Ruyi Hotel heard that someone had climbed to the fourth floor through room 301 last night. He was very frightened, and hurriedly took three people to room 301 to check.

The room still maintains its previous appearance, and the facilities inside have been burned, so it is very troublesome to restore. The boss wanted to transfer the store, so he didn't deal with it.

"The surveillance system is broken, and the door is also broken. Now that all the guests in the hotel have left, who would be so bored to climb to the fourth floor?" The boss was very puzzled.

"Got to check—go to the scene."

After Gu Yuan finished speaking, he began to put on gloves. His fingers were very white with slender knuckles, like a work of art.

Meng Lan was a little stunned.

"Call Yan Ji." Gu Yuan glanced at Meng Lan who was standing beside him: "There should be fingerprints on the ladder."

Meng Lan now—hearing Gu Yuan speak, her spirits were extremely tense, she immediately turned around and went out to make a phone call, her movements were as stiff as a robot.

Mo Lin handed the boss a cigarette: "It looks like I'm going to occupy this place."

The boss also expressed his understanding: "Anyway, there are no customers now, so you can check as much as you want. It's best to catch the murderer as soon as possible and vent your anger for us!"

After a while Yan Ji hurried over, looking for traces of fingerprints on the stainless steel ladder with a brush.

Soon, the collected fingerprints were sent back for analysis, and the computer search was very fast, and the identity information of six people appeared on the computer screen, with varying ages, including men and women.

Meng Lan had met the suspect face to face, so she directly ruled out three women and a 25-year-old boy.

The remaining two men were about the same age, a 53-year-old and a 55-year-old.

The owner of Ruyi Hotel recognized one of them. He pointed to the 53-year-old man and said, "This person borrowed the store's ladder a week ago. It should not be him."

That leaves only the 55-year-old man.

Meng Lan looked at this person's photo and fell into deep thought: "It looks like the person I saw last night..."

At this time, Li Meng came over with a coffee and exclaimed: "I'll go! Isn't this who?!"

Everyone—listen, all looked back at him.

Wang Yue: "What's the matter, have you met someone you know?"

"No," Li Meng explained, "I met this person in the morning. He was in the radiation oncology department. He even had an argument with the doctor. I was very impressed!"

"Radiation Oncology Department?" Gu Yuan keenly captured the information: "Why would he go there?"

"It seems to be a cancer patient. He went there for treatment." Li Meng was stupefied as he spoke, "How did you investigate him? Did he commit a crime? When I saw him in the morning, I felt something was wrong with his eyes. …”

At this time, the landline in the office rang, and Wang Yue picked it up and listened to it: "Are you sure...OK...Got it!"

Wang Yue hung up the phone with a solemn expression: "The laboratory has been confirmed, and the deceased is Li Shen!"

The author has something to say: no surprises, I will be joining V next week, and I will draw a dime for reading books in the future, my dears~
