It was just a trivial matter at first, but when Gu Chen asked about it, the manager felt that there must be something fishy, ​​so he hurriedly asked Gu Chen: "You mean... the person who stole Ms. Liao's diamond ring is the person who owns this kind of match."

?”

"That's pretty much what it means, but I still need to investigate further, so..."

Gu Chen looked at the manager and said, "So please cooperate, manager."

"That's easy to say. I'll ask someone." The manager immediately took out his cell phone and said quickly: "This matter was sent by a person in charge of logistics. I'll find out just by asking him."

Everyone seems to have discovered something fishy from a small match, but suddenly it seems that there is no clue at all with just a small match.

But Gu Chen is different...

He held the match as if he had found a treasure.

Possessing expert-level observation skills, he can draw inferences about the items he discovers.

Gu Chen is currently considering this. The key is that this match is somewhat special, but as to whether it is as he guessed, he needs to investigate the range of suspects before he can make a final judgment, so Gu Chen can't say now.

.

After some communication, the manager hung up the phone and said: "Comrade police, the person in charge of logistics said that he has only given these matches to three people in total."

"Which three people?" Gu Chen asked.

"There is an old guard, another one is a cleaning lady who sweeps the floor, and another one is a gardener in the scenic spot." The manager said truthfully.

Gu Chen frowned and asked again: "Has any of these three people ever raised birds?"

"Huh?" Gu Chen also asked, and the manager looked at him in surprise and said, "How do you know someone raises birds?"

"Yes, Junior Brother Gu." Seeing this, Lu Weiwei quickly asked him: "How do you know that one of these people keeps birds?"

"Because of this." Gu Chen held the match in his hand and said, "In the middle of the match, if you observe for yourself, you can find that there is a small groove here, and there are obvious bite marks on the matchstick."

"So..." Officer Wang frowned.

"So I concluded that the thief must have experience in training birds. He trained the birds to steal things, but in order to prevent the birds from making noise before stealing the diamond ring, he would train the birds to drop a matchstick from their beaks."

"My dear." Not even shocked by Gu Chen's words, Lu Weiwei was dumbfounded and said: "Junior Brother Gu, where did you know all this?"

Gu Chen said with a smile: "Because I went traveling with my family before and saw someone specially training a parrot to take away the money while the tourists were paying."

"And these parrots specialize in picking out large-denomination bills. Every time they pick up a hundred-dollar bill, they can get a certain food reward. These are specially trained by someone."

After hearing what Gu Chen said, everyone present suddenly realized that animals could still be trained in this way.

"Sure enough, the knowledge is different." The manager couldn't help but marveled: "Don't mention it, there is a gardener in our scenic area. He is not only knowledgeable about flowers, but also has a lot of research on birds. The place where he lives is

I have a few parrots."

"What's his name?" Gu Chen asked hurriedly when he saw that this person was really there in the scenic area.

"Arui, we all call him Arui."

As soon as the manager finished speaking, Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang just said "f*ck".

The manager was startled and asked quickly: "What's wrong?"

"This guy sits at the same table as us." Lu Weiwei said.

"I didn't expect this guy to be an all-rounder." Officer Wang also felt incredible.

I originally thought that such a thief was far away from me, but now it seems that it is a chance encounter rather than a chance encounter.

Gu Chen said: "Arui should still be in the reception hall, and the diamond ring must still be on him."

"Then what are you waiting for?" The manager couldn't wait any longer. He quickly ordered the security guards around him: "You guys hurry over and take this guy Ari to the control room. I need to know if he has any stolen goods on him."

"Yes." Several security guards nodded and immediately walked towards the reception hall.

At this time, the manager said again: "Police officers, let's go directly to the monitoring room. I will also notify Ms. Liao and let's interrogate this Ari over there."

Gu Chen didn't speak, just nodded silently.

After all, this is just my own reasonable reasoning. It is hard to say whether the thief is Ari or not. Everything is result-oriented.

A few minutes later.

Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang, Ms. Liao, the manager and others have been waiting in the control room for a long time.

It was only when several security guards pushed and dragged Ari to the monitoring room that everyone stopped talking.

"Let me go, you guys let me go." Ari struggled and broke away from the hands of several security guards. When he saw Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang present, he was stunned and asked hurriedly: "Why are you here?

?”

"Waiting for you." Lu Weiwei said.

"Wait for me?" Ari became more and more confused as he listened. He scratched his head and asked, "What are you waiting for me for?"

"Waiting for you to hand over Ms. Liao's ring." Officer Wang said.

Ari was really confused now, especially after seeing Gu Chen's sharp eyes, he couldn't help but take two steps back and said hurriedly: "You... who are you?"

Gu Chen took out his police ID: "I am a police officer from the Criminal Investigation Group Three of Furong Branch. My name is Gu Chen."

Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang also followed the procedure and took out their police ID cards.

"I'll go, you...are you the police?" It was only now that he realized that the people sitting at the table with him were police officers, and Ari was a little panicked.

But after calming down, Ari said again: "But why did you bring me here? What do you mean by bringing me here?"

"They said that my diamond ring is on your body." Ms. Liao, who was a little anxious, said directly.

"Diamond ring? On me?" Ari was stunned for a moment, but also burst into laughter: "It's really interesting, are you kidding me?"

He glanced at Gu Chen and said: "Brother Gu, oh no, it's Officer Gu, aren't you eating with me? I just went to the toilet, and you guys said I stole the diamond ring? That's possible

That’s the best joke I’ve heard this year.”

Before he finished speaking, the white-haired security guard immediately reached back and took out a diamond ring from Ari's pocket: "What is this?"

What he was most afraid of was the sudden silence in the air. Ari's face instantly turned pale with embarrassment.

Ms. Liao on the side also exclaimed: "That...that's my diamond ring. It's really my diamond ring."

After saying that, he grabbed it in his hand and put it on his finger and said: "Look, this is the expensive diamond ring I mentioned. It was also a gift from my husband on my birthday. It can't be wrong."

, there are also English letters of my name in it, this is the handiwork of a top European master..."

Ms. Liao said a lot in excitement, all showing off the nobility of her ring.

But this is not the point. The point is that this stolen item was indeed taken out of Ari's pocket.

At this time, not only Ari was dumbfounded, but Officer Wang was also dumbfounded.

Just now I was worried that Ari would move the diamond ring and hide it in a secret place.

But he obviously overestimated this guy's IQ level...

This guy obviously thought that even if he wanted to investigate, it would be impossible to find him among the many people at the reception, like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But after a while, he was taken to the monitoring room by the security guards of Moore Manor, and the stolen goods were found in his pocket where he had stored them randomly.

"Everyone gets the stolen goods." Gu Chen never thought that handling the case would be so easy, so he asked again: "There was a diamond ring theft case last month. Is it you who did it?"

"No." Ari was dumbfounded for a moment and tried his best to argue: "Ms. Liao already said that her diamond ring was stolen from the guest room. I don't have the key, and Ms. Liao also locked the room. How could I get in?"

?You are slandering me."

"You can't get in, but the bird you raised can fly in." Gu Chen exposed A Rui's lies.

Ari smiled bitterly and said weakly: "Bird? Why do you say it's a bird?"

"That's it." Gu Chen took the matchstick wrapped in a napkin and said, "We found this on the lawn under the window sill of Ms. Liao's guest room. There is a small small hole in the middle of the matchstick.

Do you see the groove?"

"Then...what does that mean?" Ari said.

"Because this very small groove is made by the parrot you trained to hold it in its beak. In order to prevent the parrot from accidentally making noise when performing the stealing task, you put a small match in the parrot's mouth."

"I saw this kind of trick a few years ago, so I was deeply impressed."

"No, it's definitely not what you said. I didn't let my parrot do this kind of stealing. You are just framing me."

"Then what happened to the diamond ring found on your body?" Gu Chen asked Ari dumbfounded again.

Lu Weiwei also smiled and said: "Everyone has gained the stolen goods, and you still want to quibble? Don't you know that we can extract animal DNA from matchsticks? If it matches the parrot you raise, then how can you

Aren’t you incapable of making excuses?”

"Besides, why is Ms. Liao's diamond ring not on someone else's body but on you? Do you think we police are stupid? You used the break to go to the toilet to actually go find the parrot you trained and search the guest rooms.

"

"Once valuables are discovered, you direct the parrots to steal them. What else do you have to say? Do you want me to be more clear?"

Police Officer Wang also immediately answered: "Arui, you are familiar with this kind of industry reception. You know that the people who came to the scene today are all people with high status and status, so they are also very familiar with the guest rooms where they stay."

interested."

"You want to take advantage of the convenience of raising birds to train the birds to steal, seemingly without anyone noticing, but you ignore these small details."
