I am a super cop

Chapter 1287 Drowning
In the hotel room, Lu Bin dared to confide these things to Gu Chen only because he was drunk.

After all, in Gu Chen's eyes, the current Lu Bin is too sophisticated and tactful. It seems that if he wants to have success in a big company, he must hide his edges and corners.

Marrying the daughter of a company executive as his wife originally seemed to everyone to be nothing more than choosing sides.

But in Gu Chen's view, it was more like a professional bet.

Because from what Gu Chen knew, the current Vice President Gao and Lu Bin can basically control the main operations of the company.

That's why Vice President Gao spared no effort to win Lu Bin to his side.

But Lu Bin suddenly complained about his father-in-law, which seemed a little confusing to Gu Chen.

From the strange phone call and the terrified expression, it can be seen that Lu Bin is really scared.

Fortunately, the door to the hotel room was closed, so Lu Bin dared to confide in Gu Chen.

"Did you know? Before the company had a vice president in charge of purchasing." Lu Bin said.

Gu Chen nodded silently: "I heard from your company people, didn't that person jump off the building?"

"So you've heard of it?" Seeing that Gu Chen had heard about it, Lu Bin stopped playing around and said straightforwardly, "That man was forced to death by my father-in-law."

"Originally, that person just did some violations of laws and regulations during the procurement process."

"It stands to reason that our company can solve it internally, but my father-in-law insists on sending him to the police station."

"You know, the vice president has a mortgage and a car loan, and the monthly expenses are not a small amount."

"Once the vice president is sent to the police station, everything about the vice president will be ruined. He can use other methods to make up for the company's losses, but because... because the vice president is Zhang Wenchao's uncle. relatives, he will kill people."

His eyes were a little dazed, and with the strength of wine, Lu Bin also heaved a sigh of relief, and continued:
"One day, when we heard the news that someone was going to jump off the building, we rushed to the roof of the company's office building together."

"At that time, the vice president was standing there. He climbed up the guardrail of the roof and sat there high."

"From his eyes, I saw the despair of that man, and the viciousness of my father-in-law."

"Did you witness that vice president committing suicide by jumping off the building?" Gu Chen asked.

Lu Bin nodded silently: "That's right, there are many pairs of eyes watching, but I was standing beside my father-in-law at that time."

"I saw his eyes full of disdain, and he seemed to know that he didn't care about that person's life or death at all. He only hoped to get rid of dissident executives in the company's struggle to seize power, and severely hit Uncle Zhang Wenchao's team."

"Just like that, the vice president committed suicide by jumping off the building in despair."

"That was the first time I saw someone jump from the top of the company's dozens of floors in front of me."

Covering his cheeks with his hands, Lu Bin also shook his head and sighed: "I would never have imagined that this vice president of purchasing, who has a fear of heights, dared to climb to the top of the guardrail on the roof. How much courage would it take to dare to jump off the building?"

"His jump scared many female employees in the company, but my father-in-law just grinned."

"At that time, I finally knew how cruel he was. I knew that no one in this company could stop him, and no one dared to fight against him."

"Since then, Zhang Wenchao's uncle and his gang hated my father-in-law deeply, but they also feared him."

"Because the methods of my father-in-law are far more than those of Zhang Wenchao's uncle's team, including this time to poach clients."

"It can be said that everyone actually thinks that it is the credit of my Lu Bin team, but who knows behind the scenes, it was the other customer who was caught by my father-in-law and had no choice but to place the order on my father-in-law, you just say Is he ruthless?"

"So you are afraid of him?" Gu Chen asked.

Lu Bin nodded silently: "A companion is like a tiger. My father-in-law is ruthless. He dares to do anything in order to achieve his goals and fight for control of the company."

Taking out his mobile phone, Lu Bin couldn't help but say, "This harassing call is not that simple, it's more like someone is warning me."

"I think you're really thinking too much, just block it." Gu Chen felt that in what age, harassing phone calls can also be blocked.

Lu Bin shook his head: "I don't know if my choice is right or wrong. Anyway, sometimes I'm really afraid that if I offend my father-in-law in any way, I will be forced to go to the roof by him."

"What are you talking about?" Feeling that Lu Bin was really drunk, Gu Chen said comfortingly, "That's how it is. I'll stay tonight and live right across from you. Do you think it's okay?"

Patting Gu Chen on the shoulder, Lu Bin said with a look of relief, "Okay, that's great, then it's a deal."

Stayed in Lu Bin's room and chatted with Lu Bin for a long time.

Also to relieve Lu Bin's psychological pressure.

You know, if you don't come to Yangcheng, Gu Chen really doesn't know that the current Lu Bin looks very beautiful on the surface, but the pressure he has to bear behind the scenes is beyond anyone's control.

As far as marrying Vice President Gao's daughter, everyone is doing nothing more than giving Vice President Gao face.

As for Lu Bin, it can be seen from the leaders who borrowed the car before that everyone actually looked down on Lu Bin in their bones.

It was simply because Lu Bin had a father-in-law like Vice President Gao behind him.

Now that the company's structure has changed, perhaps Lu Bin is also a pawn in the hands of the senior vice president.

Whether Lu Bin is a pawn or an abandoned pawn, Gu Chen can't tell for sure.

"Tuk tuk." I don't know how long I chatted with Lu Bin in the room when someone knocked on the door of the room.

Without further ado, Gu Chen got up and went to open the door.

At this moment, surrounded by a group of girlfriends, the bride walked into the room with a smile on her face.

"Yo, is Gu Chen here?" The bride knew that Gu Chen was Lu Bin's child, so she wasn't surprised.

Gu Chen looked around and said with a light smile, "Lu Bin drank too much, let me chat with him here."

"He's really strange." The bride sighed, walked to Lu Bin's side, put the back of her hand on Lu Bin's forehead, and then said: "It's nothing, I guess I just drank too much."

Seeing that Gu Chen was still standing there, the tall woman who used to be Gu Chen's co-pilot urged her, "Gu Chen, let's go out?"

"Okay." Gu Chen walked out of the room, took the room key card given by Lu Bin, and swiped open the door opposite.

The tall slender woman just wanted to turn around and chat with Gu Chen, but the next second, the door of Gu Chen's room was suddenly closed with a "bang".

Tall slender woman:? ? ?
……

……

6 pm.

Lu Bin, who was sober, went directly to Gu Chen's room, intending to invite Gu Chen to go to the hotel for something to eat.

Since Lu Bin rented a hotel room as a wedding room and planned to stay here for a few days, and there were quite a few relatives of the woman who came to the wedding, many of them still lived in the hotel after the wedding.

But Lu Bin has no relatives, Gu Chen is his best buddy.

He came from Jiangnan City again, and he was considered to be his natal family.

Therefore, Lu Bin is going to invite Gu Chen to go to the private room of the hotel to share dinner with him.

There were three tables of people in the private room of the hotel, and Gu Chen came to the innermost part under the leadership of Lu Bin.

Sitting here are all the main relatives and friends of Lu Bin and the bride.

Including Lu Bin's stepfather and younger brother Zhang Ye.

Gu Chen looked around and found that Vice President Gao was not there, so he hurriedly asked Lu Bin, "Where did your father-in-law go? He seems to be in a hurry today and left with a group of people very early."

"This..." Lu Bin hadn't woken up for a long time and didn't know much about it, so he hurriedly asked his wife Gao Qi, "Qiqi, where is our father?"

"It seems like I'm going to visit clients in a different place." Gao Qi said calmly as she took off her coat and put it on the seat.

Lu Bin frowned: "I still want to visit customers today? Today is a day of great joy for you and me. Even my father and younger brother came to the scene. How can he..."

"It's not like you don't know him?" Feeling that Lu Bin was making a fuss, Gao Qi also said angrily, "He has a lot of things to do. I think it's a surprise that he can attend the wedding today."

Glancing at the other two tables in front of him, Gao Qi said again: "Anyway, quite a few relatives of our family have already come, but what I didn't expect was that the group that came the most today turned out to be Dad's customers."

Speaking of this, Gao Qi couldn't help laughing dryly, feeling that her wedding was a bit weird.

The tall slender girlfriend on the side said: "Uncle is now the main leader of the company. With such a big company, how hard is he?"

"From now on, let your husband share the pressure on Uncle Gao."

"Yes, groom officer, did you hear that?" Another woman with short hair said.

Lu Bin had no choice but to smile awkwardly: "It should, it should."

Seeing that everyone hadn't moved their chopsticks, Lu Bin took the lead to hold up the wine glass, and respectfully said to everyone: "Everyone, I'm very glad that everyone can participate in my wedding with Gao Qi today. I respect everyone with this glass of wine."

"Come here."

"Everyone respect the bridegroom."

……

At the same time that Lu Bin was toasting, everyone at the same table, including the two tables next to him, raised their glasses and saluted Lu Bin.

Everyone took a sip in mutual compliments.

Only then did Lu Bin invite everyone to move their chopsticks.

Although the atmosphere at the scene was not as grand as when the wedding was held at noon, everyone was still very happy.

But when everyone was chatting, Gu Chen noticed that a company executive at the same table suddenly frowned and kept winking at the next table.

The smart phone in his hand is also constantly raised.

But he glanced in Lu Bin's direction, and the man quickly put it down again, as if deliberately avoiding what Lu Bin was talking about.

Lu Bin warmly gave his wife Gao Qi her favorite lion's head, but when he looked back, he was about to chat with Gu Chen, but he saw Gu Chen staring at the two men all the time.

Following Gu Chen's gaze, Lu Bin asked with a faint smile, "Mr. Xiao, Mr. Liu, what are you two talking about? So mysterious?"

"that……"

"That's okay." Before Mr. Xiao could speak, Mr. Liu quickly interrupted: "It's just that the company has some troubles, but let's talk about it tomorrow, let's eat food."

"Yes, eat vegetables." The understanding Mr. Xiao seemed to understand Mr. Liu's meaning, so he took the initiative to interrupt the topic.

Lu Bin grinned: "Yes, I will talk about the company's affairs tomorrow. Today is a rare day for me, and I also have the opportunity to sit and have dinner with several bosses. Today we only talk about happy things. I will talk about the company's affairs tomorrow." .”

"Yes." Mr. Xiao nodded silently, and then pressed down the phone.

Everyone still started to enter the chat session.

Although the two bosses seemed to speak calmly, based on Gu Chen's experience in interrogating prisoners, he felt that there must be something wrong with them.

But it's just because of Lu Bin's wedding today, it's not easy to spoil his interest.

But in the following time, the two of them seemed to be winking at each other. Halfway through the meal, they walked out of the private room directly on the grounds of going to the toilet.

"I'm going to the toilet." Gu Chen found out that it was tricky, and immediately found an excuse to follow behind the two.

Lu Bin smiled at Gu Chen and said, "Come back soon."

……

……

Coming to the corridor outside the private room of the hotel, the two vice presidents were chatting with each other, and they seemed to have bad faces.

Gu Chen pretended to walk past the two, but the two suddenly stopped talking.

But Gu Chen didn't go far, but turned back to the two of them again, and hurriedly asked: "Did you two have something urgent to say just now?"

"Oh, it's Gu Chen?" Knowing that Gu Chen is Lu Bin's childhood friend, Mr. Xiao also smiled lightly and said, "Just...something happened to the company, it's okay."

"Yeah, we're discussing the company's issues, didn't we bother you for dinner?" Mr. Liu also said.

Gu Chen shook his head with a smile, and asked again: "I'm afraid it's not that simple? You were whispering just now, but you cared about Lu Bin. Is there something that is not easy for Lu Bin to know?"

"No...it's nothing like that, is there?" Mr. Xiao looked at Mr. Liu who was beside him.

Mr. Liu also smiled and said, "Maybe you think too much."

"You can't lie to me, what's the matter?" Gu Chen didn't want to go around with the two of them, feeling that it was meaningless.

Seeing Gu Chen's insistence, Mr. Xiao on the side met Mr. Liu's eyes and said, "Okay, then I'll tell you, Zhang Wenchao from our company is the one sitting at the table next to you at noon today. People are found dead in the lake, and the body just keeps floating."

"Dead?" Hearing Mr. Xiao's remarks, Gu Chen also frowned: "But when I saw him at noon today, he was still fine, why did he suddenly..."

"That's right, so we don't know too well." Mr. Liu took out his mobile phone, pointed to a company group and said, "This is still a message from the company's internal group, and the company has sent someone to deal with it."

"Fortunately, Lu Bin hasn't seen it yet. After all, today is his wedding, and everyone doesn't want to spoil the fun."

"So that's the case?" Hearing what the two said, Gu Chen suddenly realized.

It turned out that everyone was afraid of affecting Lu Bin, so they didn't discuss this matter openly at the dinner table.

Seeing that the two of them were in a state of desperation, Gu Chen hurriedly asked again: "Then the investigation is clear? How did that Zhang Wenchao die?"

"Well, it seems to be fishing in the lake, and then everyone doesn't know what happened." While Mr. Xiao was explaining, he suddenly remembered something, so he quickly added:

"By the way, it seems that the ship sank and there were no life jackets on board."

"Couldn't Zhang Wenchao know how to call for help?" Gu Chen asked.

Mr. Liu also shook his head: "I'm not sure about that. When someone discovered it, Zhang Wenchao's body was floating on the water."

"I heard from people nearby that he rented a boat to go fishing in the middle of the lake. Maybe the boat capsized too fast and he didn't have time to call for help."

"So that's how it is." Gu Chen crossed his hands over his chest, feeling that this happened suddenly, as if no one was mentally prepared for it.

Originally thought that Zhang Wenchao would make trouble at Lu Bin's wedding, but Zhang Wenchao not only did not, but left graciously.

But this departure seems to be a farewell.

Before that, Gu Chen was at the other side of the table, feeling Zhang Wenchao's arrogance.

But now, he became a dead body in the water, and felt that the situation happened suddenly, without even the slightest warning.

Seeing Gu Chen meditating there, Mr. Xiao also explained: "The police have taken away Zhang Wenchao's body now, and Zhang Wenchao's uncle, who is Mr. Liao of our company, is also assisting the police in the investigation."

"But Mr. Liao, he had an affair with Lu Bin and his father-in-law Mr. Gao before, so now, he insists that Zhang Wenchao was killed by Lu Bin's father-in-law."

"How could this be?" Hearing Mr. Xiao's remarks, Gu Chen felt that this was nonsense.

In the face of no evidence, it is really unreasonable to blatantly slander like this.

Seeing that Gu Chen was not clear, Mr. Liu approached Gu Chen and whispered, "I also heard from people in the company's internal group that they went fishing with Zhang Wenchao. It seems to be Lu Bin's father-in-law, Mr. Gao."

"What?" Gu Chen frowned slightly, and hurriedly asked Mr. Liu, "Are you sure?"

"Sure, someone saw Mr. Gao and Zhang Wenchao appearing by the lake together."

"Furthermore, the police investigated the merchants who chartered the boats and confirmed this. Only Mr. Gao and Zhang Wenchao came here to rent the boats. Both of them were carrying fishing gear. They seemed to want to discuss something while fishing."

"But the police also learned from the boat charterer over there that Mr. Gao left early, so Mr. Gao is currently an important suspect and is wanted by the police."

"That's why we dare not tell Lu Bin and Gao Qi." President Xiao also said.

Gu Chen nodded silently: "So that's the case, but Mr. Gao and Zhang Wenchao, aren't they incompatible? Besides, Mr. Gao just stole important customers away from Zhang Wenchao's uncle."

"And this important customer, I heard that Zhang Wenchao has been maintaining it."

"That's right." Mr. Xiao nodded fiercely, and said involuntarily: "So the crux of the problem is here. What did the two of them go fishing by the lake to talk about? Why did Mr. Gao leave first? And why did Zhang Wenchao die suddenly? On the lake? That all has to be figured out."

"Also, I heard that the police are rushing here to investigate Lu Bin and Gao Qi in order to learn more about Zhang Wenchao."

While speaking, Gu Chen already noticed that five policemen suddenly appeared at the corner at the end of the aisle.

The policeman was walking towards the private room under the guidance of a waitress.

"Not good." Seeing this, Mr. Xiao couldn't help being surprised: "This must be for Lu Bin and Gao Qi."

"What should I do?" Mr. Liu was also in a panic, feeling somewhat unlucky to be questioned by the police at the wedding.

But watching the five policemen getting closer and closer, they seemed to be staring at him.

Mr. Xiao and Mr. Liu immediately looked at each other in blank dismay, as if they felt that they were about to get into trouble.
