I am a super cop

Chapter 1208

Seeing that the last batch of personnel had already boarded the bus, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei pedaled to check.

The middle-aged woman who was in charge of punching and registering at the finish line was also in the car.

Seeing the two people walking forward, the middle-aged woman also greeted: "Comrade policeman, haven't you found the person you are looking for yet?"

Lu Weiwei shook her head: "It's strange to say that we have searched all the places on the scene, and checked the entrances and exits, but there is no trace of Zhou Tian."

"How did that happen?"

The middle-aged woman was also a little hesitant, looked up at Lu Weiwei and said, "If you count according to the registration of the competition, Zhou Tian should have participated in the competition."

"But since you have already participated in the competition, why did you suddenly disappear? Could it be that you left first?"

"No." Knowing that the middle-aged woman would say this, Gu Chen also retorted: "Counting the time, before we reached the finish line, only two cars left."

"And there is no Zhou Tian in these two cars, so we conclude that Zhou Tian should still be at the scene."

"But there are no vehicles at the site." The middle-aged woman looked out the window and confirmed, "Even the trucks for the construction site are gone."

"Then how are you sure that all the personnel arrived safely?" Gu Chen asked again.

The middle-aged woman replied: "There is a chip bracelet, we have records in our computer, but any chip bracelet that has clocked in at the finish line will show the arrival time of this contestant."

"So, if you have a record on your computer, it means that the players have finished the game, right?" Lu Weiwei asked.

The middle-aged woman smiled and replied: "Does that matter? We can't remember the faces of so many contestants, so we record the results according to the chip bracelet."

"That's weird." Gu Chen looked out of the car with a puzzled expression.

According to the organizer's recording method, the players have all completed the game, and there is no single player.

But why is only Zhou Tian not whereabouts?He didn't seem to have been there at all.

"Did we make a mistake?" Gu Chen asked himself.

At this moment, the bus driver asked Gu Chen: "Comrade police, have you finished checking here? We are going back."

"Okay, excuse me."

Gu Chen patted Lu Weiwei on the shoulder, signaling to leave the bus.

The two watched the last bus leave the scene, but there was still no trace of Zhou Tian.

On the other side, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, who were in charge of checking at the intersection, also walked back to them with puzzled faces.

"What's the matter, Gu Chen? What? You didn't find any trace of Zhou Tian?" Officer Wang scratched the back of his head with a blank expression.

Gu Chen shook his head: "It seems that Zhou Tian is not here."

"Where will it go? Didn't we find Zhou Tian's whereabouts from the list of players and the check-in list at the finish line? Why didn't we see anyone?"

Yuan Shasha couldn't figure it out.

Logically speaking, the junction between the lawn and the road is the only exit to the outside world.

But only in this place, Zhou Tian's whereabouts were not found, which seems a little unreasonable.

Thinking of communicating with Zhou Tian's lover Gao Xueqing before, Gao Xueqing is also worried about her husband's situation.

Gu Chen directly said to Lu Weiwei: "Senior Sister Lu, you can call Gao Xueqing and see if Zhou Tian is in the supermarket? If he is, let him wait for us there."

"Okay." Lu Weiwei nodded, took out her mobile phone and started making calls.

After a while, the other end of the phone was connected.

According to the meaning of taking care of Chen, Lu Weiwei roughly communicated with Gao Xueqing.

But when the two were communicating, Lu Weiwei suddenly glanced at Gu Chen beside her, and said with some hesitation: "You said that Zhou Tian sent it to Moments during the competition?"

After a pause, Lu Weiwei finally said: "Alright, let's come here now."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Chen obviously felt a subtle change in Lu Weiwei's face, so he asked, "What's wrong, Senior Sister Lu?"

"Zhou Tian participated in the competition at all. His wife said it herself. She saw the news in his circle of friends, but sent him a message on WeChat or called him. Zhou Tian just didn't reply."

"She Gao Xueqing is more anxious than us now."

"That's enough." Police Officer Wang shook his head, and said in a bad mood, "What do you want to do this week? At this point, is he still missing?"

Glancing at Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang asked, "Did Gao Xueqing inform the police about looking for him?"

"Yes." Lu Weiwei nodded and said, "Gao Xueqing sent all the things about our going to the Star Supermarket to Zhou Tian in the form of a text message, and asked Zhou Tian to come back quickly to remove the suspicion."

"But Zhou Tian is fine this week. He just doesn't reply. It seems that this matter has nothing to do with me. Do you think Zhou Tian is sick this week?"

When Lu Weiwei said this, she was a little confused.

After all, everyone is looking for him all over the world, but Zhou Tian is playing and disappearing.

And judging from the current situation, it seems that Zhou Tian is the biggest suspect in killing Zhang Wen, but he has been playing hide and seek.

This inevitably made Lu Weiwei a little annoyed.

After Gu Chen walked back and forth for two laps, he said again: "It seems that there is no point in waiting here. There are no vehicles in this place, maybe Zhou Tian has already hidden in a certain car and left."

"But why did he hide it? Wouldn't it be better to face us directly?" Police Officer Wang also sent his thoughts deep in his soul.

Gu Chen shook his head: "At present, I have never been in contact with this Sunday, and I don't know what this Sunday means."

"In short, we should return to Liuhe Town now, or go to the Star Supermarket to find Gao Xueqing and ask her what's going on."

"As for Zhang Wen, let's talk about it after we go back."

"Row."

Seeing that this is the best way at the moment, Police Officer Wang said indifferently: "Let's go back, I hope this guy doesn't hide in the mountains. I heard from a contestant just now that he was almost attacked by a wild boar when he was running through the jungle." Woolen cloth."

"Wild boar?" Hearing wild boar, Lu Weiwei couldn't help pursing her lips, and asked curiously: "Can there be wild boars in this place? Can't it?"

"Why not? Didn't you read the news, Lu Weiwei?" Seeing that Lu Weiwei was becoming ignorant again, Police Officer Wang smiled teasingly: "On the news a few days ago, a wild boar ran into a restaurant in Liuhe Town and scared the diners. Hands up in surrender."

"This was news a few days ago, and it happened not long ago."

"So, there are still a lot of walking flesh in this mountain?" Lu Weiwei looked at the depths of the mountain forest, and couldn't help but feel that the mountains and plains were full of running game.

Thinking of the various grilling modes, Lu Weiwei couldn't help drooling with excitement.

Gu Chen nodded silently: "Maybe, the forest here is well protected, and many small animals can thrive here, so this forest is quite dangerous."

"But then again, there are more than 500 players participating in the competition, and the wild boars have to hide when they see it."

"Then let's now..." Lu Weiwei asked.

"Go back to Liuhe Town." After Gu Chen finished speaking, he walked directly towards the police car.

Everyone looked at each other and could only follow closely behind.

The vehicles continued to drive on the road, and it didn't take long for everyone to return to the previous Star Supermarket in Liuhe Town.

At this moment, the proprietress Gao Xueqing is in the shop.

Seeing a police car passing by the door, she took the initiative to walk out of the supermarket, came to Gu Chen and asked, "Comrade police, did you see my husband at the competition?"

"No." Gu Chen shook his head and put on his police cap.

"How could this happen?" Gao Xueqing hesitated, quickly took out her mobile phone, clicked on Moments, turned to a location, and said in front of Gu Chen:
"Comrade policeman, look, this is a message sent by my husband during the game."

Gu Chen took a look at the phone, and quickly clicked on Zhou Tian's profile picture, and then opened all the news of Zhou Tian's circle of friends.

It can be seen that during the game, Zhou Tian sent two Moments updates in succession, both of which were filmed during the game.

In the dynamic picture, there are many backs of other players.

Everyone seemed to be walking along the forest path.

In order to save energy, many people choose to walk along the footsteps left by previous people.

Gu Chen checked the sending time, it was about 2 hours ago.

At that time, the game was still going on.

After that, Gu Chen turned to the latest news.

At this time, Zhou Tian sent a photo of two contestants supporting each other, along with an inspirational copy.

It probably means not giving up and not giving up.

From the photo information, Gu Chen could see that the competition process was quite difficult. Many people were injured while hiking cross-country in the forest, but they still persisted in the competition.

The surrounding scene is also difficult to determine where the shooting location is, because it is covered by trees everywhere.

Apart from these two updates sent during the game today, Gu Chen found no other clues.

Lu Weiwei hesitated and said, "We're going to participate in the competition this week, so why didn't we see him at the finish line? He's clearly registered."

"That's right, is Zhou Tian obviously avoiding us this time?" Yuan Shasha also felt unreasonable.

The main reason is that Zhou Tian has no reason to avoid everyone.

After all, if Zhou Tian was not responsible for Zhang Wen's death, then there's no need for him to hide, just explain the situation clearly.

But now it is so faintly visible, but it gives everyone a feeling that you are the murderer.

Why bother?
Why bother?
Seeing that the police did not find any trace of her husband at the finish line, the proprietress Gao Xueqing was also anxious, and she stomped her feet angrily, "Where did this damn ghost go? If it doesn't show up again, our Xingxing Supermarket will not be able to clean up even if we jump into the Yellow River." what."

Knowing that the police currently have tape evidence with the logo of Star Supermarket in their hands, if Zhou Tian doesn't come out and explain clearly, then he will be implicated too.

Therefore, at this moment, Gao Xueqing is more anxious than anyone else to find a husband.

It means that if you don't come back in a fit of anger, Gao Xueqing won't bother to talk to her for a day or two, a week, or even half a month.

But now that there is a murder case, my husband still does his own thing even though he knows that the police are looking for him. This is very intriguing.

Seeing Gao Xueqing's innocent face, Gu Chen asked her directly: "Ms. Gao, is your husband usually like this?"

"No." Gao Xueqing shook her head: "My husband is usually very quiet and alone, and rarely sends news from Moments."

"If you say that I call him, he may not reply sometimes, but this time I have been away from home for a week, and even if I have time to post to Moments during the competition, he is unwilling to answer my call."

"I suspect that he wants me to compromise..."

"Then...is there another possibility?" Before Gao Xueqing finished speaking, Gu Chen interrupted directly.

Gao Xueqing was stunned: "Officer Gu, what do you mean..."

"What I mean is, maybe the person who posted the Moments post wasn't Zhou Tian himself at all." Gu Chen said.

The voice fell, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

Everyone looked at each other, as if they were startled by Gu Chen's guess.

Gao Xueqing was even more stunned and said, "Officer Gu, what do you mean...it's not my husband who posted the message at all?"

"Well, it might be someone else, or maybe Zhou Tian never came to participate in the competition."

Gu Chen continued to give another situation according to his own way of thinking.

Gao Xueqing was dumbfounded, and asked Gu Chen directly: "This person is not at the scene, so how did he clock in and enter the registration point?"

"It's very simple." Gu Chen didn't hide it, and said straightforwardly: "Because I also communicated with the organizer's staff before, and found that they only recognize chip bracelets."

"Every player who participates in the competition wears a chip bracelet on his hand."

"Every time the contestants go to a timing check-in location, they have to swipe the machine with a chip bracelet."

"But I found a loophole here, and it was very obvious."

"Loophole?" Hearing Gu Chen's words, Gao Xueqing didn't quite understand, and continued to ask Gu Chen: "Officer Gu, what exactly is this loophole you mentioned?"

"Run for me." Gu Chen said.

"Run instead?" Everyone exclaimed in unison.

Gu Chen nodded silently, walked back and forth in front of several people, stretched out his hand and said, "I was always observing the contestants who reached the finish line."

"I found that they only need to swipe the timing card on the chip wristband when they come to the finish line, and then register their respective entry codes in the form."

"In this way, even if the race is completed, the staff at the terminal doesn't seem to care about it, so this gives the runners the possibility to run alternately."

"Impossible?" Lu Weiwei was a little hesitant, and hurriedly asked Gu Chen, "But Junior Brother Gu, if this is the case, wouldn't the grades be fraudulent? Don't these staff members care?"

"I don't care about the ranking." Gu Chen explained the mystery in one sentence.

Seeing that everyone was stunned on the spot, Gu Chen said again: "If there is a bonus ranking, then the top few and the organizer's staff will undoubtedly verify it carefully."

"This should be regarded as the most stringent time in the competition, but what about after the 100th? What about after the 200th? What about after the 300th?"

"The lower the ranking, the less important it is to the organizers. After all, it has little effect on the results of the competition."

"So when we observed the staff at the scene, we found that they generally worked loosely."

"Many tasks that require two staff members are done by one person, let alone verifying identities."

"That's right." Hearing what Gu Chen said, Lu Weiwei suddenly realized: "Then, in this way, the staff will only carefully count the winners, and when the subsequent contestants arrive at the scene, it doesn't matter what your ranking is, just register according to the procedure .”

"In this way, once someone comes to the scene with Zhou Tian's mobile phone and chip bracelet, swipes his card for him, and then registers for him, it will appear that Zhou Tian has completed the result of the game, so..."

"In other words, this Sunday may not have participated in the competition at all, or he has participated in the competition, but he has not completed the competition process, and may still be in the jungle."

"But his mobile phone and chip bracelet suddenly fell into the hands of someone else, and this person is the suspect who helped Zhou Tian create a false appearance." Gu Chen accepted Lu Weiwei's guess and directly expressed his own thoughts.

The scene was quiet again.

Everyone looked at each other, and seemed to feel a moment of deep thought and fear.

Zhou Tian was replaced just like that, without leaving any trace.

The most important thing is that there are no surveillance cameras at the scene, which is undoubtedly more difficult for the investigation of the case.

Thinking of this, Lu Weiwei's eyes suddenly lit up, she looked at Gu Chen and said, "Junior Brother Gu, could it be... Could it be that person..."

"It seems that Senior Sister Lu has guessed it." Gu Chen looked at Lu Weiwei's surprised eyes, and seemed to understand the content from her eyes.

Gao Xueqing saw a few people who could understand each other's meaning just by making eye contact, but standing here, like a silly little white, she suddenly asked impatiently:

"Do you know who the substitute is?"

Lu Weiwei nodded silently: "Basically, I know."

"Then who is it?" Gao Xueqing spread her hands with curiosity.

Gu Chen glanced at Lu Weiwei, nodded silently, and signaled her to tell Gao Xueqing.

Lu Weiwei took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and then said: "It can be seen that the contestant who replaced your husband in the competition should have the same results as your husband."

"After all, if he reaches the finish line, it means that your husband will also finish the race on Sunday, so when registering the race number, he will definitely write your husband's number together."

"From this point of view, the person whose number is next to your husband Zhou Tian's number on the registration form at the finish line should be the substitute runner, and the post on Moments sent by your husband Zhou Tian during the race should also be what that person said. for."

Glancing at Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei asked, "Is that so? Junior Brother Gu."

"That's right." Feeling that Lu Weiwei had already guessed what she meant, Gu Chen silently nodded in affirmation.

"If you want to replace Sunday to end the game, and write down the Sunday number in the sign-in book at the end of the game, it must be one of the two next to the Sunday number."

"Because he can write his own number after writing Sunday's number, or write his own number first, and then quickly write last Sunday's number."

"But no matter what the situation is, he only has one chance, so his ranking and results must be next to Sunday, which cannot be escaped."

"And the most important thing is that the content copy he sent is quite different from Zhou Tian's personality who only likes to send links to share before. One can tell at a glance that it is obviously sent by two people."
