Gu Chen quickly realized that something was wrong and asked quickly: "Don't be impatient. Speak slowly."

"The peacock breeding base is on fire."

"Well, then put out the fire quickly. If that doesn't work, call 119."

"no no."

"Isn't the Peacock Base on fire?"

"It's true that the Peacock Base caught fire, but, but..."

Wan Ting's thoughts were confused for a while and she did not explain clearly on the phone. This made Gu Chen feel confused.

After calming down, Gu Chen said again: "Wan Ting, don't be impatient and tell me slowly, what happened to the Peacock Base?"

"Just... someone was burned to death in the room." Wan Ting struggled for a long time and finally spoke clearly.

Gu Chen was also stunned and quickly asked her: "Who was the person who was burned to death?"

"I don't know, it might be that Ah Fa, because his workers haven't come back yet, and he was burned to death in the room where he lived. The most bizarre thing is that this house is completely locked, and no one can do it.

Go in."

The call paused for a few seconds, and then Gu Chen asked again: "You mean, the person who was burned to death was locked in a secret room?"

"right."

"Will someone throw flammable objects through the window, causing the people in the house to be burned to death?" Gu Chen asked again.

Wan Ting couldn't explain clearly for a while, and could only give a rough explanation: "Probably not, because all the room windows were closed. When I went to the Peacock Base, I saw people in the house being burned to death outside the window, so

I just called you."

"Are you alone at the scene now?" Gu Chen asked.

Wan Ting replied, "Yes, but my brother and the others will bring people over soon. I feel it is very dangerous here, so I called you..."

While Wan Ting was talking to Gu Chen on the phone, the sound of a car was heard in the distance.

Wan Ting breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said again: "It's my brother and the others who are here, so does my calling you count as calling the police? Or do I need to call 110 again?"

"Wait for me there, and stop your brother and others outside the Peacock Base. Don't let anyone come in and out at will. Remember."

"I understand, it's to protect the scene, right?" Wan Ting asked.

"right."

"Okay, then I understand. Come here quickly."

After the two briefly communicated on the phone, Gu Chen hung up the phone.

"Senior Sister Lu, Senior Brother Wang, Xiao Yuan, Senior Brother He, and Senior Brother Ding, let's go."

Gu Chen stood up and said.

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, but judging from Gu Chen's phone call just now, there was probably something wrong.

So a few people quickly put down their bowls and chopsticks and set off with Gu Chen.

After putting on the police equipment, Yuan Shasha and Lu Weiwei prepared the toolbox Gu Chen needed and placed it in the trunk of the vehicle. They all took an assault vehicle and headed directly to Hehua Township.

News spread like wildfire that someone was burned to death at a peacock breeding base.

When the police assault vehicle appeared outside the base, many local villagers were already surrounding it.

Everyone stood outside the iron gate and whispered, discussing the strange situation at the scene.

A little girl, who was being held by her grandma, suddenly pointed at the police car and shouted: "The policeman is here."

Everyone turned around and took a look, and then they gave way to both sides of the road like a tide, leaving the middle road to the police.

"Officer Gu." A familiar figure suddenly walked out of the crowd. This was none other than Wan Gang, the mayor of Wanxiang who had been delivering goods live with Gu Chen before.

Seeing that Wang Gang was extremely anxious, Gu Chen asked: "What's going on at the scene? Who is the deceased?"

"I don't know. My sister Wan Ting blocked everyone outside and refused to let us in. But the only person living in the peacock breeding base is Afa."

"Where is Wan Ting?" Lu Weiwei asked.

Wan Gang turned around, pointed at the iron door and said, "She is right there."

"Let's go and take a look together." Gu Chen didn't have time to think too much, he just waved his hand and led everyone to the gate.

It was also when she saw Gu Chen bringing someone over that Wan Ting breathed a sigh of relief and quickly waved to Gu Chen: "Officer Gu, as per your request, I didn't let anyone in."

"Thank you very much." Gu Chen looked at the door lock and said, "Can you open the door now?"

"Ah? Oh." Wan Ting was stunned for a moment because she was too nervous, but she quickly realized what she was doing and quickly opened the door.

Officer Ding and He Junchao immediately set up a cordon around the perimeter to maintain order at the scene.

Seeing that Wan Gang was still outside, Gu Chen said directly to He Junchao: "Senior Brother He, let Chief Wan Xiang come in."

"Okay." He Junchao nodded.

Wan Gang also understood the meaning and immediately raised the cordon and penetrated into the Peacock Base from below.

When he came to his sister Wan Ting, Wan Gang was also shocked and said: "Officer Gu, I also received a call from my sister, and I didn't know that something happened at the peacock breeding base. I don't know what's going on inside now."

"Come over with me and take a look." Gu Chen didn't say much and went directly to the scene of the crime.

But when Wan Ting led the way and took everyone to Peacock Base, Afa's separate residence, Gu Chen suddenly felt a little confused.

Walking around the residence, the walls are still intact, exactly the same as when I first visited the Peacock Base, and there is not much change.

Gu Chen asked curiously: "If it was on fire, why is the house still intact?"

"I don't know." Wan Ting shook her head like a rattle and said directly: "Apart from the fact that the people inside were burned beyond recognition, I don't know what is going on in this house?"

"Also, this house is obviously locked from behind, but how did he do it?"

With Wan Ting's question in mind, Gu Chen did not respond, but went directly to the window.

This is a relatively spacious one-person room, usually used for workers to live in, with only two sliding windows.

Gu Chen thought of a secret room murder case he solved when he first joined the police force. The other party used dismantling and replacing the glass to achieve the effect of a secret room.

However, unlike this time, the windows last time were old wooden windows. As long as the glass replacement is in place and the glass glue is in good condition, there is basically not much to look at.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It was precisely because the deceased's life was not very hygienic last time, but the windows were clean, that Gu Chen found the flaw.

But this time, all aluminum alloy windows and glass glue are intact, and there are no traces of cleaning.

Obviously, the situation this time is completely different from last time. There is no possibility that the murderer entered the room through the window.

Through the glass, Gu Chen could clearly see a burnt corpse lying on the floor tiles of the room, and he frowned slightly.

After putting on white gloves and checking the window, Gu Chen came to the door.

The iron door was very strong. After repeated confirmation, Gu Chen found that it was indeed locked from the inside.

"How's it going?" Officer Wang on the side asked.

"We can only break into the door." Gu Chen had no better way, because unlocking this retro door seemed a bit troublesome and a waste of time.

"Then I'll get the hammer." After receiving Gu Chen's reply, Officer Wang turned around and left.

Gu Chen grabbed him and said, "No, I'll do it."

Taking two steps back, Gu Chen adjusted his breathing, found his footing, grabbed the ground with his right toe, and stepped back violently.

With lightning speed, he kicked the iron door hard.

Then, there was only a "bang" sound, and the iron door shuddered open.

Gu Chen kicked the door firmly, accurately and ruthlessly.

It only takes one kick to break the door, which is much easier to use than a breaking hammer.

Of course, Gu Chen also carefully calculated the explosive power of the iron door and his own kicking of the door.

If he felt that he couldn't solve the problem with his feet, Gu Chen would use a breaking hammer without hesitation.

Before entering the room, Gu Chen put on footwear to prevent the traces and clues in the room from being destroyed.

Gu Chen took Lu Weiwei into the room together, while Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha were responsible for investigating the door.

Everyone has a clear division of labor, but seeing this scene in front of them still makes people feel sick.

The whole house was filled with a burning smell.

The body that fell in front of him was completely burned beyond recognition and looked like a piece of charcoal, which was very cruel.

"Junior Brother Gu." Lu Weiwei turned around from the window and said, "The window is locked from behind."

"Open it and let some air flow." Gu Chen used his hand to fan away the unpleasant burning smell in the room.

Lu Weiwei nodded and obeyed.

Gu Chen, on the other hand, returned to the iron gate and checked the inside of the iron gate back and forth.

As he had guessed just now, the iron door was locked internally, although Gu Chen also knew that some people could use some rope auxiliary tools to perform indoor locking operations outside the house.

But after checking and confirming the door lock, Gu Chen decisively gave up this idea.
