Chapter 87 Mysterious Shooting Case

Jiangnan Garden in Chuncheng City is considered a relatively high-end residential area in the area.

Mainly multi-storey houses and stacked villas.

The case occurred on the 5th floor of a western-style house, a large flat of more than 200 square meters.

The interior decoration is not luxurious, but it is also refined and elegant, enough to show the owner's good quality of life.

When Guo Shuo arrived, the indoor collection work had been completed.

The criminal police in charge of the area reported the details to him.

The deceased, Zhao Libo, was a 42-year-old male and the owner of a bar.

The person who reported the case was the deceased’s wife, Gao Lingling.

She went shopping in the mall with some of her girlfriends and then had dinner together.

After eating and drinking, he rushed back home in the late night.

Unexpectedly, after opening the door, she found her husband lying in a pool of blood, already dead.

The study was turned into a mess, and tens of thousands of yuan in cash and some valuable jewelry were lost from the house.

Gao Lingling was sobered up instantly and she called the police immediately.

After the police arrived at the scene, they investigated and took samples from the entire house.

All exits in the city were blocked immediately.

However, since the deceased's body only had rigor mortis in the jaw joint and had not spread to the entire body, the rigor mortis on the back was lighter.

Combined with the temperature of the body, the forensic doctor finally concluded that Zhao Libo died about 2 to 4 hours ago.

If we infer from this time, the murderer may have already run out of the city.

Moreover, the murderer was careful and should have worn gloves and shoe covers.

There were no fingerprints or footprints left in the entire house.

After breaking into the house and killing people, the murderer calmly looted the money, which shows his strong psychological quality.

"Is it murder for money?" Guo Shuo frowned and muttered to himself.

After observing for a while, he walked towards the door again and crouched in front of the victim's body.

Zhao Libo was wearing pajamas with two bloody bullet holes on his chest.

He leaned against the exquisite entrance wall, staring at the door with his eyes wide open, dying with his eyes open.

Those eyes were filled with confusion and disbelief.

"No, it's probably not for money."

Guo Shuo quickly denied his own inference.

Looking at the entrance door, there were no signs of having the lock pried open.

Judging from the position where the deceased fell, he was attacked after opening the door for someone.

Therefore, he inferred that the crime was at least committed by an acquaintance.

It is definitely not a case of strangers motivated by money and committing crimes randomly or in ambush.

The murderer's act of looting money was most likely to escape, or to create a false image to confuse the police.

If the crime was committed by an acquaintance, then we have to start with the social relationships of the deceased.

Guo Shuo walked into the bedroom, but suddenly stopped, feeling a little surprised.

In the bedroom, besides the deceased's wife Gao Lingling, there was also a young man.

The two were sitting on the bed, snuggling together.

According to colleagues from the criminal police team, Zhao Libo and his wife have been married for many years but have no children.

So who is this man in front of me?
Moreover, when they saw Guo Shuo coming in, the two of them showed no intention of separating.

Gao Lingling just glanced at him and said nothing.

Guo Shuo coughed lightly and took out his ID.

"Hello, I'm from the City Bureau's Serious Crime Unit. I'd like to discuss something with you."

"Didn't I just say it? Are you guys done yet?" Guo Shuo looked at Gao Lingling suspiciously. He really didn't expect her attitude to be so cold.

"It was you who reported the case, right?" Before Guo Shuo could finish his speech, Gao Lingling interrupted him.

"That's right, but I reported it to the police so that you could take that damned guy away. I was scared to death in the middle of the night."

For a moment, Guo Shuo was speechless. He couldn't help but ask, "How is your relationship as husband and wife?"

"Humph, husband and wife?! It's just a name, it's fine for us to live our own lives!"

After saying that, Gao Lingling looked at the man beside her lovingly. Her charming look made Guo Shuo's hair stand on end.

He even suspected that this case was closely related to the man and woman in front of him.

Decided to investigate these two people carefully tomorrow.

Seeing that he couldn't get any answer, Guo Shuo shook his head helplessly and turned away.

After understanding the situation indoors, he planned to retrieve the community’s surveillance footage to check the people coming and going at the time of the incident.

High-end residential communities like this have complete surveillance systems.

But reality gave him another blow.

Jiangnan Garden does have a complete monitoring system, which can be said to cover the entire community without blind spots.

However, during the time when the crime occurred, the surveillance system of the entire community was destroyed.

The murderer destroyed the community's low-voltage power room. Not only did all the surveillance become useless, but even the networks of each household malfunctioned.

Standing in the computer room, looking at the severed optical cables, smashed equipment, and the workers still working on repairs, Guo Shuo fell into deep thought.

It seems that the murderer is very familiar with this place. Could he be an insider of the community?
Both property and security are possible!
If so, where is the murderer now? Is he somewhere nearby?

Guo Shuo looked at the busy crowd around him, and a drop of cold sweat slid down his cheek.

His major is criminal psychology.

Experience has taught him that some criminals like to hide near the crime scene after committing a crime.

In order to appreciate their masterpieces, it may even be a provocation!
After finding the property manager, Guo Shuo first got a list of all the staff and then called the staff on duty that night.

He stared at the four people in front of him, examining them one by one, and then slowly spoke:
“When did the community surveillance break down?”

The four security guards looked at each other, speechless for a moment, and no one answered.

Guo Shuo was a man of insight. Looking at the scene before him, he probably guessed something.

He left the property manager behind and took the four of them into the rest room.

"Now that the manager is not here, can you tell the truth?"

After Guo Shuo asked this question, there was another brief silence.

Finally, the oldest security guard hesitantly explained:

"Police comrade, this man gets sleepy at night, so in order to keep himself alert, we played cards for a while and no one paid attention to the surveillance footage.

Besides, I have been working here for several years and the surveillance has never been broken, so I never expected something like this to happen."

Guo Shuo sighed slightly. It was obvious that this man was not lying.

He also spoke to each person individually, verified the specific circumstances, and confirmed each person's alibi.

After finishing all these, it was almost dawn.

Colleagues from the branch have already taken Zhao Libo's body back.

Guo Shuo also followed and immediately started investigating.

At almost the same time, Liang Yu and Su Yan boarded the flight back home.

Hu Bing took the seriously injured Wang Qiang and transferred him back to China by helicopter.

The rest of the large army has also returned one after another.

This transnational arrest operation was a life-threatening one.

When Wang Qiang was sent to the local hospital, the doctor kept talking about miracles, Buddha's appearance, etc.

Thanks to their full efforts in rescue, Wang Qiang's injuries were stabilized and he finally saved his life.
