I am a super cop

Chapter 1121 The media is ferocious
The structure of the apartment of the man with bald head and glasses is the same as Gao Lu's apartment.

Gu Chen took a random quick check and found that there was nothing unusual.

Seeing that the man with bald head and glasses had a lot of children's products and cosmetics for women, Gu Chen asked him curiously, "What do you do for work?"

"I'm a teacher in a nearby middle school." said the bald man with glasses.

"You live here alone?" Gu Chen asked again.

The man with bald head and glasses shook his head: "I live with my wife and my daughter."

"Then where are they now?"

"Dancing class."

……

After the two asked and answered, Gu Chen probably understood the specific occupation of the bald man.

In addition, after the colleagues searched the house, they found no other abnormalities, so they walked to Gu Chen's side and shook their heads.

"Excuse me." Gu Chen didn't want to waste too much time here.

You know, judging from the last monitoring screen where Gao Lu disappeared, only the picture of Gao Lu getting off the elevator can be found.

However, Gao Lu disappeared suddenly, but there was no picture of leaving the apartment, indicating that Gao Lu was probably still in the apartment.

But what needs to be done now is obviously to conduct a large-scale investigation.

Even if the occupancy rate of the apartment is 30%, it is a big project to knock on every door to investigate.

If no abnormalities are found, the best way is to conduct a quick survey and check the residents of this apartment building in the shortest possible time.

After bidding farewell to the man with bald head and glasses, Gu Chen made arrangements with everyone at the door.

Everyone prepares a group of 2 people, conducts separate inspections, and strives to check the rooms with residents in the shortest possible time.

However, everyone still underestimated the investigation time of this apartment.

Every family knocked on the door to investigate, and they were busy until 11:20, when the investigation was basically over.

Everyone gathered downstairs in the Wangjiang Apartment, each with their heads downcast.

"Have you not found any?" Gu Chen asked.

Everyone shook their heads.

Officer Ding said: "Every family knocks on the door at night, it's really hard to investigate."

"If it's okay during the day, knocking on the door at night will make it inconvenient for many residents to open the door, so there will be a delay in waiting, and everyone will be embarrassed."

"Yes." Wu Xiaofeng also complained: "Knocking on the door at night is embarrassing for others, and we are also embarrassed. Therefore, the residents are very disgusted with our investigation, and it is not easy to do work."

"The result?" Gu Chen asked again.

Officer Ding said: "I can only do a general inspection, and basically there is no trace of Gao Lu."

"It's hard to handle." Officer Wang felt that the situation was very strange, and turned his head to ask the security guard who had been following him.

"I said, there will be no dead ends in the monitoring of your apartment here, right?"

"No, as long as the monitoring is out, you can find it." The security guard also said affirmatively.

Police Officer Wang was a little puzzled and said, "Since he didn't leave the apartment, could this Gao Lu disappear out of thin air?"

"Could it be somewhere that hasn't been searched yet?" Lu Weiwei suddenly thought, and pointed to the place above her head: "For example... the rooftop?"

"Rooftop?"

When everyone heard the words, they suddenly realized.

Speaking of this apartment, everyone can only temporarily use the short time to search for some rooms that are currently living in the apartment.

But no one can guarantee whether there is Gao Lu in the other rooms that have not been checked in.

But that's the only way it can be at the moment.

But if there is any place that has not been searched, the only thing left is the rooftop.

Moreover, the woman also searched the fire escape, but found no trace of Gao Lu.

So after investigation, it seems that only Tiantai has the last hope.

"Can you go up to the roof?" Gu Chen asked.

"Yes." Uncle security affirmed, and said directly: "Residents who live in the apartment must sign a guarantee contract with our property, and then we will issue a door card to the residents. After swiping the card, they can go to the rooftop."

"And most of the residents go to the rooftop to dry their quilts or something."

"It's fine if you can go to the rooftop, show us now." Gu Chen didn't want to hear too much from Uncle Security.

Now I want to check the search angle to confirm whether Gao Lu is on the rooftop.

Uncle security took everyone to the elevator and took the elevator back to the 12th floor.

After getting out of the elevator, go through the fire exit and continue to go up until an iron door blocks in front of you.

The security uncle decisively entered the password to the door lock.

Soon, there was only a "click" sound from the door lock, and the door lock bounced open.

Without saying a word, Gu Chen opened the door and rushed directly to the rooftop.

The colleagues who followed immediately dispersed and searched every corner of the rooftop.

But soon everyone discovered that such a search was simply useless.

There were not many shelters at the scene, but no trace of Gao Lu was found.

"Not on the rooftop?" Gu Chen was suddenly a little frustrated.

You know, this may be the most likely place to hide, but there is still no trace of Gao Lu, which is a bit intriguing.

The woman followed behind Gu Chen, also anxiously said: "Where did Gao Lu go? It really makes people anxious."

"It's no use rushing now."

Looking down at his watch, it was almost dawn, Gu Chen also said honestly: "Today's search may not be able to continue, because there are still many rooms in the apartment that are unoccupied."

"Perhaps Gao Lu is there, but the prerequisite is that the resident must be contacted. This is quite troublesome, and it can't be done in one night."

"Then what should we do?" The woman was still panicked.

Police officer Wang said: "How about tomorrow, we will come back tomorrow morning, and ask the property to organize a copy of the contact information of the residents, so that they can come and open the door of the apartment tomorrow. This is the only way to check."

"Also." Gu Chen continued to add: "Don't live in the apartment tonight, find a hotel to stay first, and I will call more people over tomorrow morning."

"Alright." Feeling that this is the only thing that can be done at present, the woman nodded silently.

Gu Chen then handed her the notebook and said, "Also, write down your identity information."

"No problem." According to Gu Chen's request, the woman filled in her information in the notebook.

Only then did Gu Chen know that her name was Wang Xin.

And according to Wang Xin's account, he and Gao Lu have been friends for many years.

Wang Xin is currently working in a decoration design company.

The reason why Gao Lu chose to live with Wang Xin in the Wangjiang apartment was also to have someone to talk to with her when she was in a bad mood.

And that person is obviously good sister Wang Xin.

After recording everything, Gu Chen went to the property office and asked for the contact information of the entire apartment building.

And let the property security notify the manager, and release the police news in the owner group.

It probably means that someone is missing in the apartment, and all the heads of households are asked to come to Wangjiang Apartment tomorrow morning, open the door, and cooperate with the police's search.

Although most of the owners were reluctant, the disappearance of a young woman in the apartment still made many people a little worried.

If something goes wrong, the price of the apartment is expected to plummet.

After all, most people buy this Wangjiang apartment, to a large extent, to wait for the appreciation in value and buy it for investment.

Therefore, when the property manager sent the police notice to the group, the head of household group immediately exploded.

……

……

In the early morning of the next day, when Gu Chen arranged for more people, he returned to Wangjiang Apartment again.

At this time, most of the owners also came to the scene, and everyone came to open the door for the police to check.

For a moment, the owners of the entire apartment were panicked, and everyone gathered in the lobby on the first floor to chatter.

At the scene, the property security was basically dispatched by all staff, and the property manager also came to the scene.

At the same time, it is unknown who leaked the news, and the news of the mysterious disappearance of the young girl in Wangjiang Apartment spread like wildfire.

The media with a keen sense of smell will certainly not let go of such explosive news.

Just when Gu Chen led people to Wangjiang Apartment, many media reporters also rushed to the scene early, rushing to report on the mysterious girl's disappearance.

Due to the bizarre nature of the case, the masses thought that the disappearance case was too weird, perhaps a little abnormal.

Some residents even spread rumors that this place used to be a cemetery, and the apartment was built later, so some bizarre events are often discovered.

Of course, Gu Chen just listened to this statement casually and didn't take it seriously.

Gu Chen asked He Junchao to investigate the surveillance coverage of the apartment and surrounding roads.

While coming to the property office by himself, he confirmed the monitoring screen again.

However, the result was still the same. The missing person, Gao Lu, had never left the apartment building since entering.

Gu Chen now has far more people than last night, so he decided to continue to conduct a detailed inspection of this apartment building.

For a while, the police downstairs of the Wangjiang apartment were dispatched collectively, and many media reporters were also mixed in the crowd.

The scene was chaotic.

In order to maintain the order of the scene, Gu Chen arranged manpower and arranged the media reporters outside the apartment door.

While Gu Chen was maintaining order, someone suddenly patted him behind him.

Gu Chen turned his head and realized that the person who came was Bai Xiaolan from Jiangnan TV Station.

"I'm talking about Reporter Bai, what's going on with you guys?" Gu Chen seemed a little troubled by the involvement of too many media reporters.

The main reason is that the order is chaotic, which brings a lot of trouble to the investigation work.

Gu Chen not only had to divide the police officers into several teams, but also deployed manpower to work with the property security to maintain order on the first floor.

Bai Xiaolan shrugged and said with an innocent face: "I don't know what's going on, I just heard that there was a girl missing in Wangjiang apartment. The leader asked me to go over there immediately to do an interview."

"But when I arrived today, I realized that so many colleagues came to the scene, and they all seemed to be here to take pictures of this disappearance case."

"I don't know who revealed it?" Gu Chen seemed to have a headache, so he walked among the crowd and said involuntarily, "Everyone be quiet, can you be quiet?"

Gu Chen's voice was loud, and soon, only scattered voices remained in the chaotic first floor of the apartment.

Seeing that everyone was staring at him at the same time, Gu Chen also reported his family background: "I am Gu Chen, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Team of Furong Branch, and I am currently on a mission. Please don't interfere."

"But we have the right to interview." A fat male reporter said.

Gu Chen nodded silently: "You can do the interview, but you have to stand outside the apartment and wait until our police investigation is completed before doing the interview. Can you do it?"

The fat man hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed, "That's fine."

Then the man not only voluntarily exited the apartment, but also helped to maintain order by asking everyone to stand outside.

For a moment, all the cameras were focused on the lobby on the first floor of the apartment.

Everyone wants to know how the survey turns out.

According to Gu Chen's close statistics last night, the head of the household is roughly divided from the 1st floor to the 12th floor.

Every head of household must carry the key and be accompanied by the police during the search.

Although time-consuming, this is currently the most effective way to troubleshoot.

After all, there is no picture of Gao Lu leaving the apartment, and the last surveillance picture is just getting off the elevator on the 12th floor.

From Gu Chen's point of view, this is indeed very strange.

At this moment, as long as someone came out of the apartment building, they would be surrounded by a group of reporters for questioning.

Almost everyone who came out of the apartment was not spared.

Many media reporters even turned on the live broadcast to broadcast the police investigation live.

Soon, the topic of the mysterious disappearance of the young girl in the apartment building spread rapidly.

Gu Chen was very troubled by this kind of behavior, but he could only wait patiently.

Batch after batch of police officers and heads of households came out of the apartment building.

One of the men in a casual jacket also walked out of the apartment with a handbag. Seeing many reporters gathered outside, he also smiled and said, "What's going on? Why are there so many reporters?"

"Because we are investigating the disappearance of the apartment residents." Gu Chen looked the man up and down, and asked him curiously, "Are you the head of the household here?"

"No, I'm a tenant." The man said.

Gu Chen asked again: "Where are you going now?"

"Go outside to buy something." The man also had a smile on his face, as if he didn't fit in with the tense atmosphere at the scene.

Gu Chen walked around the man, took out his notebook and asked him, "What room do you live in?"

"Room 1208." The man responded readily.

Gu Chen looked around and asked his colleague, "Who inspected room 1208 yesterday?"

"Me." Wu Xiaofeng, who maintained the order at the scene, raised his hand and took the initiative to step forward and said, "I checked his room with Senior Brother Ding last night."

"Then what did you find?" Gu Chen asked again.

Wu Xiaofeng took the initiative to explain: "They are all cartoons, he said he is a cartoonist."

"That's right, I'm a contracted cartoonist. I usually work in the apartment and don't go out very much. I occasionally go out to buy some food."

The man and Wu Xiaofeng also talked to each other, and informed Gu Chen of the details of the search last night.

Gu Chen asked, "What's your name?"

"Zhao Lei." The man took the initiative to answer.

"Report your ID number." Gu Chen said again.

Zhao Lei seemed a little helpless, but still shrugged indifferently, and directly informed Gu Chen of his ID card information.

Afterwards, Gu Chen waved his hand, indicating that Zhao Lei could leave.

But just as Zhao Lei walked out of the human wall area with a face full of joy, he was swarmed in by media reporters from outside and surrounded him instantly.

However, Zhao Lei still maintained an optimistic smile and silently nodded to everyone.

A female reporter handed the microphone to Zhao Lei: "Hello, Mr. Zhao, have you ever seen men come in and out of the victim's house?"

"Uh……"

Zhao Lei seemed a little embarrassed to ask such a hot question at the beginning, so he shook his head directly:

"I haven't seen it at all, because I have only seen people on the 12th floor once or twice, and there are very few people living on the 12th floor."

"Then how many people live in Wangjiang Apartment now?" The female reporter continued to ask him persistently.

Zhao Lei shrugged and made a helpless expression: "I'm sorry, I really don't know about this, ha ha."

Don't forget to smile politely after speaking.

"Then last night, did you stay at home?" the female reporter asked again.

"Yes." Zhao Lei nodded silently.

……

Seeing that Zhao Lei was being interviewed by media reporters, and the downstairs of the apartment was surrounded by reporters and nearby people.

Officer Wang suddenly felt that the police also seemed to be under pressure.

At this moment, the police officers who went upstairs to investigate were returning to the hall in an endless stream.

Officer Ding walked up to Gu Chen, and also took the initiative to report: "At present, there is no trace of Gao Lu in the homes of these heads of households. It seems that Gao Lu is not in the homes of these heads of households."

"Where would you be if you weren't at the head of the household's house?" Someone in the crowd said something, and the scene quickly became lively.

Many media reporters came here just to dig into the details of the mysterious girl's disappearance.

But now it seems that there is not much gain.

Gu Chen couldn't answer the media for the time being, so he could only lead everyone upstairs.

Before leaving, Gu Chen said to a third-level police superintendent, "Remember to record that person's fingerprints before letting him go."

"No problem, come with me." The third-level superintendent readily agreed, and immediately pulled Zhao Lei from the interview to the extraction stage.

According to the requirements, Zhao Lei will be fingerprinted.

At this moment, Gu Chen brought everyone to room 1206 again.

"Junior Brother Gu, do you want to search again?" Lu Weiwei seemed to have guessed what Gu Chen meant.

Gu Chen nodded silently: "I always feel that there is something missing, and my heart is not at ease, so I want to search again."

"I don't know where this Gao Lu is now?" Officer Wang also looked anxious.

For this case, we used many police officers.

But if such a large-scale investigation does not get the desired results, it will be in vain.

Seeing that this situation will soon become a reality, Gu Chen can only go back to the apartment where Gao Lu lived before, planning to come here again, thinking that he will find some missing things.

However, this investigation took Gu Chen a full 30 minutes.

From the inside to the outside of the house, a detailed inspection was carried out.

The situation in the house is still the same, there is no major breakthrough.

But Gu Chen found a new fingerprint near the door outside the house.

This fingerprint was not discovered in time last night due to the lighting.

Therefore, Gu Chen collected it, and then prepared to conduct a technical appraisal like the fingerprints entered by other household heads.

This is also the only harvest in the second search so far.

"Maybe it was left by the murderer?" Seeing Gu Chen's skillful extraction of fingerprints, Lu Weiwei couldn't help asking curiously.

"Maybe, after all, we can't give up any clues now."

Gu Chen feels that finding someone in the apartment is indeed a big project.

It is not difficult to find a big living person in a normal search. Of course, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, it is not under the situation of hiding.

But whether Gao Lu avoided on purpose or was kidnapped, Gu Chen is still unable to judge.
