"You mean there are shoe prints on the ground outside the window?" Anna followed Gu Chen's thoughts and looked over, even sticking her head out of the window.

However, after scanning around and finding nothing, Anna still asked Gu Chen for advice: "There is a lawn outside the window, and it rained heavily last night."

"Logically speaking, even if there are footprints, they have been almost washed away, but I haven't seen them now."

"I'm just assuming, or ruling it out." Gu Chen trailed off and pointed to the window sill: "I checked the window sill and there are no signs of friction."

"To be precise, there are no traces of scratches from shoes."

"If someone enters the house with the door locked, the open window is undoubtedly the best way to break through, but I found no traces of footprints on the window sill, and there are no traces of cleaning."

"This means...even if Zhou Ting kept the window open last night, no one entered the study from the window sill, right?" Anna asked.

Gu Chen took a deep breath: "That's it for now, and there are no traces of footprints on the lawn outside the window."

"Actually, what if it rains heavily? What should be left behind will still be left behind, but it doesn't."

"Gu Chen, are you ruling out the possibility that the suspected murderer entered through the window?"

Anna seemed to understand what Gu Chen meant.

Indeed, the door of the villa is locked, and the only person who can enter the room is undoubtedly the study room on the first floor.

According to the account given by nanny Dai Li, when she left Zhou Ting's house, she found candles lit in Zhou Ting's study and even the windows were open.

If no one entered the home, Zhou Ting's sudden death might have been an accident of her own.

He suffered a myocardial infarction caused by a sudden cold, but he died in his study because there was no one in the house to help him.

This reasoning seems to make sense.

However, while Gu Chen and Anna were discussing, Huang Zhifeng, the fiance of the deceased Zhou Ting, was also brought to the scene.

At this moment, compared to the excitement just now, Huang Zhifeng seemed a little calmer now. While looking at everyone, he no longer yelled.

But the body doesn’t lie…

Huang Zhifeng's legs were still trembling and his face was still pale.

"Huang Zhifeng." Gu Chen called him, and then Huang Zhifeng was brought back to reality from his state of mental dissociation.

"Gu...Officer Gu." Huang Zhifeng glanced at Gu Chen and his attitude became humble.

Gu Chen came to him in two steps and asked, "Did you have a fight with Zhou Ting last night?"

"Yes...yes." Huang Zhifeng glanced at the nanny Dai Li beside him.

Knowing that Delly was a witness last night, she didn't dare to talk too much.

"What was the reason for the quarrel?" Anna asked.

"Because...because, because of some trivial matters in life." Huang Zhifeng lowered his head slowly, not daring to look directly into Anna's eyes.

"Is it because of the debate competition?"

Gu Chen was also ruthless and directly exposed the problem openly.

At this moment, Huang Zhifeng's expression suddenly changed.

He knew that the nanny Dai Li had revealed the content of her quarrel with Zhou Ting last night to the police.

He looked into Gu Chen's eyes, his whole body was trembling, and he said weakly: "Since you know, why bother to ask, I am your defeated general, I...I admit it, can't...don't you allow me

Lose your temper and complain?”

"I just had a big fight with Zhou Ting because I lost the game and felt depressed, but...but, I didn't kill Zhou Ting at all."

"Were you the last one to leave Zhou Ting's room yesterday?" Gu Chen asked.

"Yes...really?" Huang Zhifeng looked at the crowd and had no confidence in what he said.

When Anna heard this, she also said angrily: "Yes, it means, no, it means no, what do you mean by 'right'? Don't you understand what we mean?"

"Police...Officer, I...I'm really not sure, because...because after I left, I didn't know who had been to Zhou Ting's room. Really, I just didn't know anything after I left,

I don’t know anyone else who’s been there.”

Unintentionally, Huang Zhifeng glanced at the crowd and quickly spotted the nanny Dai Li.

He immediately pointed at Delly and said: "Oh, by the way, Delly was the last one to leave Zhou Ting's house, she was the last one to leave."

"No...it's not." Huang Zhifeng suddenly mentioned it, and the nanny Dai Li looked like a cat with fried fur. She shrank back in fright: "Police...Officer, I am not the last one to go out."

"Anyway, you were still there when I left Zhou Ting's house, and I didn't know about it after that." Huang Zhifeng also insisted, which caught the nanny Delly off guard and almost made her cry.

Delly quickly came to Gu Chen and Anna and complained: "Officer, I was not the last one to leave home. Didn't I tell you before? I was going to leave and change my shoes at the door."

"At that time, Huang Zhifeng walked out of the house in a hurry, so I lagged behind. But as for what happened in the study, I didn't know anything. I changed my shoes and left."

"Then...then I'm not the last one to leave." Huang Zhifeng also quickly defended.

The two began to blame each other, which made the study immediately lively.

"Okay, don't argue anymore, please be quiet." Anna walked between the two of them and told them to shut up as soon as possible.

Then he turned around and asked Huang Zhifeng again: "Judging from the current situation, you should have been the last one to leave the study last night. Then tell me, what was Zhou Ting doing when you left the study yesterday?"

The more detailed the better.”

"Zhou Ting? She..." Huang Zhifeng lowered his head and thought silently for a few seconds before adding: "We had an argument and I was in a bad mood, so I said I should go back and calm down. Zhou Ting told me to get out, and she picked up the

The files on the table seem to be continuing work."

"There is no electricity and she relies on candles to work. This Zhou Ting is really a workaholic." Yuan Shasha couldn't help but murmured after listening to Huang Zhifeng's words.

However, Gu Chen was suddenly reminded. His eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly looked around: "Yes, there was a power outage last night. Zhou Ting lit candles, but why didn't I see candles here?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Candle?" Anna was also shocked when she heard this.

For a moment, everyone looked at each other and began to look for traces of candles.

A sudden reminder made everyone alert.

But at this moment, a young Italian policeman raised his hand weakly and said: "The wax...the candle was originally on the table. I picked it up and checked it when I entered the scene. At that time, George asked me to help.

, so...so, so I just put it on the dining table at the door."

"What did you say?" George heard this and pointed at the young police officer on the spot and shouted angrily: "What did I tell you? The items on site cannot be moved casually, but how can you take the items on site to other places? You

are you crazy?"

"Qiao...George, don't get excited. I was a little distracted at the time, and you were calling me again, so I didn't realize it at the time, so I just..."

"Okay, okay, don't pursue this anymore." Anna looked at the young police officer and said, "Go get the things."

"Yes." Seeing that he had gotten into trouble, the young police officer did not dare to neglect him and ran out of the study in a hurry.

Not long after, he walked up to everyone with a wax stand.

Gu Chen took the lead in taking the wax stand from the young police officer. After observing it from side to side, he asked: "There are people who store candles and wax stands in ordinary people's homes. Are there frequent power outages in this area?"

"Occasionally." Daili, the nanny on the side, said, "The lines in this area have experienced several major faults, so there were always power outages during that time."

"The surrounding residents were very angry about this and complained to the power company several times. Therefore, in order to quell the public's anger, the power company sent some candles and candlesticks door to door, saying that they would let everyone deal with it for a few days until the power fault was eliminated.

"

"So since then, I have had more of these things at home, just for emergencies. But I didn't expect there was a power outage last night, so I used them."

Listening to nanny Delly's words, Anna looked up at her and said, "Zhou Ting has an old problem of myocardial infarction, right?"

"Yes." Nanny Delly nodded slightly.

"That means Zhou Ting's myocardial infarction was caused by a sudden cold?" Anna asked again.

"Yes, the personal doctor has repeatedly reminded Zhou Ting to pay attention to this aspect, so I think it should be." Nanny Dai Li said.

Anna looked at the candle on the candle stand. The wax dripped along the candle and piled up into an even ball on the candle stand. She couldn't help but said: "I think we should take this candle for testing to see if it is

It contains highly toxic substances, what do you think?"

"I agree with Anna." Officer George took the lead: "The probability of myocardial infarction caused by a sudden cold is very low, but it just happened. I think the possibility of it being a coincidence is very low."

"And if it is confirmed that Zhou Ting died of poisoning, that would be a different matter, right? Officer Gu? Eh? Officer Gu... Officer Gu?"

George originally wanted to discuss with Gu Chen, but found that Gu Chen was no longer around. After searching around in the crowd, he found that Gu Chen had disappeared.

"Where is Gu Chen?" Officer George looked confused.

"You were here... just now." Anna also looked around, feeling as if Gu Chen had disappeared out of thin air.

Lu Weiwei was also stunned, and quickly asked Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha: "Has any of you seen Junior Brother Gu?"

"I didn't see it." Yuan Shasha shook her head.

Officer Wang was also puzzled: "But he was still here just now, why did he suddenly disappear? Where did this guy go?"

"Officer Gu!"

"Gu Chen!"

"Where are you?"

For a while, the crowd in the study kept shouting, and it seemed that Gu Chen disappeared out of thin air, which was a bit strange.
