"Don't be sad first." Gu Chen was also afraid that the female assistant would interfere with his on-site handling of the case, so he couldn't help but said: "Let me ask you, since Liu Yi is a great director, why didn't he arrange to stay in the hotel of the crew instead of staying in the hotel?

This old apartment?”

"Because... because this is his real estate." The fat female assistant also told the truth: "Although this apartment is old, it is surrounded by a park and is in the center of the city, so it is a good place to live."

It’s quite quiet here.”

"Director Liu often writes work summaries at night and plans the next day's work, so he doesn't want anyone to disturb him. Living here is more private."

"Wait a minute." Gu Chen suddenly turned off the flashlight and interrupted the female assistant's words: "You said...Liu Yi lives here very privately and doesn't want anyone to disturb him?"

"No...that's right!" Also startled by Gu Chen's sudden reaction, the female assistant replied weakly.

Lu Weiwei walked to Gu Chen's side, looked at the female assistant and asked, "That means that few people know that Liu lives here."

"But... it's possible." The female assistant was also stunned, and said weakly: "He does have a few properties in Jiangnan City, but the old community here is his favorite, and this is where he first started.

place, so he loves it very much.”

"How many people besides you know that he lives here?" Officer Wang also followed Gu Chen's train of thought and asked the female assistant.

The fat female assistant was thoughtful and said: "I think there are only a few of them. One of them is a nanny who often comes to help him clean, and the other is a screenwriter. For now, it seems that I know that he lives here.

There are only these two people, I don’t know about the others.”

Lu Weiwei turned to look at Gu Chen and asked him: "Junior Brother Gu, what do you think?"

"Liu Yi obviously died of poisoning." Gu Chen rubbed his eyebrows and continued to add: "Oh, by the way, he died of drinking poisoning."

Looking at the wine bottles and glasses on the table, Gu Chen added, "It should... be the bottle on the table, right?"

After putting on his white gloves, Officer Wang took out a magnifying glass and looked back and forth at the wine bottle and glass, and then said: "There are fingerprints, but judging from the pattern of the fingerprints, at present, there should be only one person."

"That should be Liu's fingerprints, because the murderer can't be stupid enough to leave his own fingerprints." Gu Chen also gave his own opinion.

Officer Wang nodded: "Maybe what you said is right, but this bottle of wine shouldn't be newly opened, right?"

"What's the basis?" Gu Chen asked.

"Because..." Officer Wang glanced around, pointed to the wine rack at the door of the kitchen and said, "Because there are a lot of drunk red wine here, some only have one-third left, and some have only three-thirds left.

of two."

"And this bottle..." Officer Wang held it in his hand and observed it repeatedly, and said: "And there is only a quarter of this bottle left. It can be seen that if he drinks alone, he will never drink too much, because this woman

The assistant once said that Lewis is a very punctual director, even if the actors are a few minutes late, he will care about it."

"Yes, I said that." said the fat female assistant.

Officer Wang snapped his fingers: "So, I conclude that Liu will never drink a lot of alcohol and then complete the next day's work with a drunken mind. Am I right?"

Gu Chen also smiled: "Based on the analysis of Liu Yi's living habits, Senior Brother Wang is very right."

"Wait a minute." When Lu Weiwei saw Officer Wang starting to investigate, she was not to be outdone and said, "Could it be that someone came to visit, and then Liu Yi drank with the other person, and the other person has a heavy drinking capacity?"

"There is also this possibility." Gu Chen thought for a few seconds and said: "However, if the other party drinks more, then Liu Yi should not be the only one who falls at this time. It seems that the other party should fall first.

, but...this situation has not been found so far.”

"That means that Liu might have been poisoned?" Lu Weiwei also made her own judgment based on the reasoning of Officer Wang and Gu Chen.

Gu Chen nodded and said: "You are right, and what Senior Brother Wang said is also right."

"First of all, we can know that this bottle of wine may have been drunk by Liu before, but he did not drink too much, so the bottle still has a quarter of the wine content."

"Secondly, no one drank with Liu, because there was only one cup. Or we can assume that the other party may have drank too, but the other party cleaned the cup and deliberately created the illusion that Liu was drinking alone, or the other party deliberately selected

The wine that Liu Yi often drank was given to him, which was poisoned in advance and then poisoned Liu."

Officer Wang slapped his thigh and said, "Gu Chen is right, but the question now is, who can be the person who can stay at the scene when Liu is drinking?"

Gu Chen turned around and asked the fat female assistant: "Can you contact the nanny who often helps Liu clean the house? And the screenwriter?"

"Yes...it's okay." The fat female assistant also nodded and said: "That nanny is a part-time worker, and Liu usually asks me to contact her."

While talking, the fat female assistant had already taken out her mobile phone and called the nanny.

After nagging for a while, the female assistant said: "The nanny will be here soon, and I will help you contact the screenwriter now."

"Thank you." Gu Chen said.

The female assistant continued to call, and after nagging for a while, she said to Gu Chen: "The screenwriter will also come over, but it will take some time."

"No rush." ​​Gu Chen continued to search for clues in the house and asked casually: "I see that there are very few surveillance cameras in this old community."

"That's right." The female assistant also said: "Except for the cameras in the park next door, there are not many cameras in the community."

"Do you know where the control room is?" Gu Chen asked.

The fat female assistant was a little embarrassed and said: "Well...it doesn't seem to be true. The properties here have been changed several times, and the management has not been good, so the owners often delay paying property fees, so the cameras in the community are just decorations.

, just to scare outsiders."

"That means there is no surveillance in this community at all?" Lu Weiwei also said with a headache.

Seeing the female assistant nodding, she sighed and said, "This is a bit troublesome. After all, if there is surveillance, you can also take a look and see who was here last night."

"As long as we find someone who has interacted with Liu, we may be able to find the murderer who killed him."

"There is one."

Everyone started to feel melancholy, but outside the cordon, a resident of the community who was watching the excitement stepped forward and said: "Comrade police, I run a small supermarket at the entrance of the community, and there are usually cameras in the store."

"But because some time ago, thieves often entered the community, so I was a little selfish and installed a relatively secret camera in the corner of the abandoned duty room in the community."

When he heard that someone had installed a camera at the gate of the community, Gu Chen was also overjoyed and asked: "What is your name for this gentleman?"

"My surname is Gan, you can just call me Lao Gan." said the enthusiastic people.

"Boss Gan, can you help me obtain yesterday's surveillance?" Officer Wang said.

"Of course, you can ask someone to come with me." After Boss Gan said this, he was about to turn around.

Officer Wang took the initiative and said, "I'll go."

Then he looked at Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei and said, "The auxiliary police patrolling nearby will be here soon. Let them maintain order in the periphery. You two continue to search the house to see if there are any missing clues.

."

"Understood!" Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei said in unison.

Afterwards, Officer Wang called the fat female assistant away. After all, she was the only one who knew who was familiar with Liu Yi.

Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei continued to search the house.

Not long after, some auxiliary police officers from Furong Branch arrived at the scene and evacuated the surrounding people.

All work is proceeding in an orderly manner.

"Huh? What is this?" Lu Weiwei walked to the cloakroom and found that there were many coats in Liu's wardrobe.

There are everything from suits to casual wear to sportswear, and there are more than a dozen ties alone.

But there are very few leather shoes and many sports shoes.

"There are also some here." Gu Chen suddenly opened a three-dimensional wardrobe and found that it was laid out in a grid shape. The items placed inside were all classic sneakers in various styles.

But mostly red and green.

"Is this Liu a shoe speculator too?" Because she had heard Gu Chen say something about shoe speculators before, Lu Weiwei first thought of the term "shoe speculators".

Gu Chen smiled and said: "It's not necessarily a shoe speculator, maybe it's just Liu's personal hobby, just like some people like to collect figures."

"That's true." Lu Weiwei also raised her chin to think, and said with a smile: "I heard that some directors especially like to collect costumes worn by actresses. I heard that this hobby is quite special, but I don't know if it is true.

of."

"Everyone has their own hobbies, or uniqueness." Gu Chen checked the styles of sneakers from top to bottom while responding to Lu Weiwei: "Just like Liu Yi, he has distinctive characteristics in terms of personality."

"Towards friends or outsiders, he is like a fat man with a sense of humor, but towards the crew and even the actors, he always treats them with a roar. Work and life are completely two faces. This kind of person also has a distinct duality in his character.

."

"There are also his habits and hobbies." Lu Weiwei also followed Gu Chen's thoughts and analyzed it like a cocoon: "He likes to drink wine, and he is very punctual and has strict requirements for work."

"For example, I have to discuss today's work summary and tomorrow's work plan with my assistant at night. He seems to be a very self-disciplined person."

"You can say that." Gu Chen also nodded and said thoughtfully: "Everyone succeeds for a reason. Maybe these habits will bring Liu achievements in work."

Seeing Lu Weiwei constantly placing sneakers, Gu Chen asked curiously: "Senior Sister Lu, what are you doing?"

"Put the sneakers away." Lu Weiwei turned around and said, "I feel like the sneakers here are a bit messy. For someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder like me, it's simply unbearable."

After thinking about it, Lu Weiwei placed two pairs of red sneakers on the same spot and said, "It's better not to move around, otherwise it will destroy the on-site decorations. Lao Wang will have to blame me again, although these sneakers look similar to the case."

It doesn’t matter.”

As soon as Gu Chen was reminded by Lu Weiwei, he immediately began to observe the sneakers in the shoe cabinet.

This pair of shoe cabinets has clear left and right sides, and the space in the middle is used to paste an NBA star poster.

Gu Chen roughly counted the shoes. The densely packed shoes looked dazzling, but by sorting the numbers in the grid, Gu Chen could still calculate that there were more than 100 pairs of sneakers in Liu Yi's collection.

For those with a collecting bent, this is nothing.
